When goods don’t cross borders, soldiers will.

the Khan Academy on Fractional Reserve Banking and Austrian Economics →
Thanks to Ike Renner for pointing out this Salmon Khan video on fractional-reserve banking. Mr. Khan, perhaps the most significant educator of our time, is the founder of the Khan Academy, which teaches—in the most extraordinary way—math and so much else to anyone who wants to learn, for free. I have long admired this great philanthropist. Now I discover he is a Rothbardian on banking! Since millions of homeschoolers and other smart students all over the English-speaking world are devoted Khanians, and their numbers are growing, this presages much good for the future of Austrian economics. Adds Ike: “It seems that whether a person’s core concern is education, finance, food supply, or foreign policy, once committed to liberty, it doesn’t take long to arrive at the front door of the Mises Institute!” \Here, here.

What is Building 7?
World Trade Center Building 7 was a 47-story skyscraper and was part of the World Trade Center complex. Built in 1984, it would have been the tallest high-rise in 33 states in the United States.
Did you know there were THREE buildings that collapsed on 9/11..?
WTC 7 collapsed at 5:20 pm on September 11, 2001.
It was not hit by an airplane.
The building suffered minimal damage from the collapse of the Twin Towers compared to other buildings much closer to the Tower 1 and 2.
WTC 1, 2 and 7 were under the same ownership; purchased not long before 9/11 by Larry Silverstein.
In the 2002 PBS documentary ‘America Rebuilds’ while discussing events leading up to the collapse of Building 7, Silverstein stated:
“I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, ‘We’ve had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.’ And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.”

Justice Dept. Official Seeks Congressional Approval of Expanded Cell Phone Spying →
A key Obama administration official has asked Congress to authorize increased government access to the cell phone records of U.S. citizens. Speaking at a conference in Washington, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein urged lawmakers to pass a law that would make it easier for officials to obtain cell phone data in the early stages of investigations. The Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that warrants are needed to place GPS tracking devices on a suspect’s vehicle, raising questions about whether court permission is needed for other forms of mobile spying.
Gary Johnson, whose foreign policy can be described as between “hawkish” and “confused,” wins the Libertarian Party nomination
I was rooting for Lee Wrights, who is a very nice man with a real understanding of how imperialism abroad leads to a massive reduction of liberties at home.
