In previous posts we have described at length (this is up to the point of nausea) why is that any and all immigration policies, conventions, restrictions, manipulations and otherwise management and modification is absolutely, positively and definitively idiotic and stupid (see for example Immigration Policies Are The Ultimate Monopoly.
But of course, nobody listens to us; well… our cat does but she is a clever cat with an IQ far…

Oftentimes within the fray of rhetorical battle one forgets what this is all about. Sometimes the details tend to drawn the important ideas. Sometimes it is good to go to first principles and look up close and personal, what it is that we want. Well… this is one of those days.
We get it, you may be a tad upset because you were expecting something more entertaining, we too. But…

Feeling blue? Tired of the same old bureaucracy? Fed-up of paying taxes? Done with laws, rules and regulations that endlessly govern your life? Then start a micro-nation!
This seems like a farfetched proposition straight out of a cartoon's script, alas, it is not.
A simple Googlesearch for the keywords "start", "micro" and "nation" will allow you to find plenty of webpages, some containing detailed instructions to achieve your goal. If…

Today we are releasing the third project. Its name is Efficient Socialist Scale Type I (ESSI). It attempts to rank countries by the level of their honest economic socialism. As usual, it is linked in our Projects page at the site, under the Main Menu.
We hope you enjoy this new and exciting point of view, brought to you by the usual (political) suspects.

One of the questions we always face from those who are familiar neither with economic data nor with Austrian Economics keeps repeating itself:
If the free market is soooooooooo good, why sooooooooo many people prefer socialism?
It is an excellent question worth exploring. Actually, it is so worthy that we chose it as the "Big" question.
The problem is that the answer is not that simple and explaining it will take…

This article is a bit of an inside story and we do apologize in advance for it. Although we are internationalists (we like to look at the big -international- picture), in a few rare occasions we need to look inwards. This is one of those cases and this topic needs to be said.
A few days ago a very important figure of Libertarianism (Mr Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr) posted…

The term "spoilsport" is described as a person who behaves in a way that spoils others' pleasure; especially by not joining in an activity (we add this clarification for those who may not be familiar with this term). The title of this article was spawn from another article by the newspaper The Star (South Africa), similarly but not quite called "Don't be a spoilsport. Go vote!"

A few days back there was an interesting article in the Mexican newspaper El Universal. Its title was "Ninja police to protect users from crime". The gist of it was that the governor of the province of Tlalnepantla requested assistance from the army, the navy and the federal police (no, this is not a joke) to persecute society's enemies. As such, "special operations" involving experts in small weapons and martial…

Over time (we would say years but it hasn't been even one since we started), we have been spreading literary horror, death and destruction in an unending sequence of bad guys, monsters and evil doers.
Over time, you may think that we are nuts or just plain repetitive; whichever may come first. But the reality is that in the end it is not us. We are simply being persecuted by…
