Alex Jones reports that Congress has passed anti-freedom legislation which would make blogs like this one register as “lobbyists” with the government. That, and Manchurian Candidate John McCain wants to fine us $300,000 for anything the regime finds offensive. After that, see

is rallying support for US House Joint Resolution 14, a binding resolution that forbids the President from ordering an attack on Iran absent military action against U.S. forces, or a demonstrably imminent threat of attack.
At Rad Geek People’s Daily, Charles
Johnson talks about how US opium eradication in Afghanistan is causing a rise in young girls being sold into slavery by their families.
In a case of absurd over-reaction, besides tasering and arresting a smoker who wouldn’t put out his cigarette at a bus stop the cops “also contacted the Armenian Consulate in Washington, D.C., and notified the Joint Terrorism Task Force” . (via Lew Rockwell Blog).
Oh yeah, and as if that wasn’t enough, there’s video of US troops taunting a crippled dog in Iraq. Aren’t you looking forward to these guys being our militarized police and prison (camp) guards back home? I know I am.
UPDATE: Brad at Wendy McElroy’s blog says the provision that makes bloggers lobbyists was stripped out of the bill that passed…that probably means they will be re-introducing it in other bills, so let’s keep an eye on it.

“He sold his eight-year-old daughter Somaya for $3,000 (£1,560).”
Surely we can find a few Libertarians to buy up their surplus crop of females at more respectable rate$ ?
Or, we could work on ending the drug war.
I am thinking long term here: purchasing the girls being sold into prostitution, slavery, etc. and shunting them into education sponsored and driven by libertarian ethics would produce a vibrant positive effect as opposed to engaging in a continuous and fruitless confrontation with the puppet-masters of the Sheeple.
Think of it: for the price of a few airline tickets we could recruit fresh new minds and give them a chance at a life they have no hope of living presently, all the while getting them into private education schemes funded by libertarian interests with the double-edged benefit of gaining their families espect for ideals they are mostly unfamiliar with.
Not that your hopes and efforts are without honor, but this would have immediate impact and could be legitimately carried out, asssuming the sponsorships could be demonstrated not to engage in sexual or other forms of predatory exploitation.
Right, we could certainly teach them to love liberty by buying them as slaves.
How exactly would you do that?
The needle of your wit has burst my naively optimistic bubble of brainstorming.
You win, case closed.
Yeah, I’m gonna side with Paulie here.
Slavery is inherently anti-libertarian.
Ah, but the views are divine…
