I will never be able to come up with a Top 10 or 20 this year again. Before She Knew Him is another proof of this. What a read. What A READ! Do I wish my TBR were less good? Nope!!!
My biggest thanks to Faber & Faber for providing me with a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review. Hugs to Namra for the speed delivery to fight postage fails!
When they're invited over for dinner, however, things take a sinister turn when Hen thinks she sees something suspicious in Matthew's study. Could this charming, mild-mannered College Professor really be hiding a dark secret, one that only Hen, who's been battling her own problems with depression and medication, could know about?
Lloyd certainly doesn't seem to believe her, and so, forced together, Hen and Matthew start to form an unlikely bond. But who, if anyone, is really in danger?
Miracles happen! I am kicking off the week with a Christmas read! In November. Yep.
Thank you to Joanna at Faber & Faber for this wonderful surprise and for inviting me to be part of the tour.
Jolted from sleep by the ringing of the telephone, Imogen fumbles through the dark, empty house to answer it. At first, she can't quite understand the man on the other end of the line. Surely he can't honestly be accusing her of killing her husband. Ivor died in a car crash two months ago – she may not be adjusting to widowhood very well, but Imogen certainly didn't murder him.
As the nights draw in, Imogen finds her home filling up with unexpected Christmas guests – but they may be looking for more than just holiday cheer. Has someone been rifling through Ivor's papers? Who left the half-drunk whiskey bottle beside his favourite chair? And why won't that man stop phoning Imogen, insisting he can prove her guilt?

Esprit D'Air have announced they will be doing a huge UK tour in 2018.
Tickets go on sale on Friday the 16th of June via See Tickets.
2016 saw Esprit D'Air make an appearance at the main stage of UK's largest celebration of Japanese culture, Hyper Japan at Olympia, London as well as headlining a charity concert organised by Peko Peko in aid for the five year anniversary of the Tohoku earthquake—raising £1,100 for English and music lessons at Aoba Gakuen, an orphanage in Fukushima. Following this Esprit D'Air launched their comeback single 'Rebirth', and 'Guiding Light' and performed numerous shows up and down the UK including the awesome Camden Rocks .
Esprit D'Air are not seeking a major record label, but instead have a strong DIY ethos, and aim to be as self-sufficient as possible, producing everything themselves. Consequently they record, mix and master their own releases in their own home recording studio and create the artwork themselves.

To Really 'Make America Great Again,' End the Fed! – Article by Ron Paul
November 28, 2016 Ron Paul Comments 0 Comment
Former Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher recently gave a speech identifying the Federal Reserve's easy-money/low-interest-rate policies as a source of the public anger that propelled Donald Trump into the White House. Mr. Fisher is certainly correct that the Fed's policies have "skewered" the middle class. However, the problem is not specific Fed policies, but the very system of fiat currency managed by a secretive central bank.
Federal Reserve-generated increases in money supply cause economic inequality. This is because, when the Fed acts to increase the money supply, well-to-do investors and other crony capitalists are the first recipients of the new money. These economic elites enjoy an increase in purchasing power before the Fed's inflationary policies lead to mass price increases. This gives them a boost in their standard of living.
By the time the increased money supply trickles down to middle- and working-class Americans, the economy is already beset by inflation. So most average Americans see their standard of living decline as a result of Fed-engendered money supply increases.
Some Fed defenders claim that inflation doesn't negatively affect anyone's standard of living because price increases are matched by wage increases. This claim ignores the fact that the effects of the Fed's actions depend on how individuals react to the Fed's actions.
Historically, an increase in money supply does not just cause a general rise in prices. It also causes money to flow into specific sectors, creating a bubble that provides investors and workers in those areas a (temporary) increase in their incomes. Meanwhile, workers and investors in sectors not affected by the Fed-generated boom will still see a decline in their purchasing power and thus their standard of living.
Adoption of a "rules-based" monetary policy will not eliminate the problem of Fed-created bubbles, booms, and busts, since Congress cannot set a rule dictating how individuals react to Fed policies. The only way to eliminate the boom-and-bust cycle is to remove the Fed's power to increase the money supply and manipulate interest rates.
Because the Fed's actions distort the view of economic conditions among investors, businesses, and workers, the booms created by the Fed are unsustainable. Eventually reality sets in, the bubble bursts, and the economy falls into recession.
When the crash occurs the best thing for Congress and the Fed to do is allow the recession to run its course. Recessions are the economy's way of cleaning out the Fed-created distortions. Of course, Congress and the Fed refuse to do that. Instead, they begin the whole business cycle over again with another round of money creation, increased stimulus spending, and corporate bailouts.
Some progressive economists acknowledge how the Fed causes economic inequality and harms average Americans. These progressives support perpetual low interest rates and money creation. These so-called working class champions ignore how the very act of money creation causes economic inequality. Longer periods of easy money also mean longer, and more painful, recessions.
President-elect Donald Trump has acknowledged that, while his business benefits from lower interest rates, the Fed's policies hurt most Americans. During the campaign, Mr. Trump also promised to make Audit the Fed part of his first 100 days agenda. Unfortunately, since the election, President-elect Trump has not made any statements regarding monetary policy or the Audit the Fed legislation. Those of us who understand that changing monetary policy is the key to making America great again must redouble our efforts to convince Congress and the new president to audit, then end, the Federal Reserve.

Libertarianism and Transhumanism – How Liberty and Radical Technological Progress Fit Together – Presentation by G. Stolyarov II
November 22, 2016 Gennady Stolyarov II Comments 0 Comment
G. Stolyarov II
Gennady Stolyarov II, as Chief Executive of the Nevada Transhumanist Party and as of November 17, 2016, the Chairman of the United States Transhumanist Party, discusses the complementarities between libertarian and transhumanist philosophies and objectives, encouraging more libertarians to embrace emerging technologies and an "upwing" perspective on progress, tolerance, and cosmopolitanism. Over time Mr. Stolyarov hopes to be able to do similar outreach to persons of other persuasions – from centrists to non-identitarian conservatives to left-progressives to socialists to apolitical individuals, seeking common ground in pursuit of the improvement of the human condition through emerging technologies.
This presentation was made to the Washoe County Libertarian Party Organizing Convention in Reno, Nevada, on November 20, 2016.

The IRS Believes All Bitcoin Users are Tax Cheats – Article by Jim Harper
November 22, 2016 Jim Harper Comments 1 comment
The Internal Revenue Service has filed a "John Doe" summons seeking to require U.S. Bitcoin exchange Coinbase to turn over records about every transaction of every user from 2013 to 2015. That demand is shocking in sweep, and it includes: "complete user profile, history of changes to user profile from account inception, complete user preferences, complete user security settings and history (including confirmed devices and account activity), complete user payment methods, and any other information related to the funding sources for the account/wallet/vault, regardless of date." And every single transaction:
All records of account/wallet/vault activity including transaction logs or other records identifying the date, amount, and type of transaction (purchase/sale/exchange), the post transaction balance, the names or other identifiers of counterparties to the transaction; requests or instructions to send or receive bitcoin; and, where counterparties transact through their own Coinbase accounts/wallets/vaults, all available information identifying the users of such accounts and their contact information.
The demand is not limited to owners of large amounts of Bitcoin or to those who have transacted in large amounts. Everything about everyone.
Equally shocking is the weak foundation for making this demand. In a declaration submitted to the court, an IRS agent recounts having learned of tax evasion on the part of one Bitcoin user and two companies. On this basis, he and the IRS claim "a reasonable basis for believing" that all U.S. Coinbase users "may fail or may have failed to comply" with the internal revenue laws.
If that evidence is enough to create a reasonable basis to believe that all Bitcoin users evade taxes, the IRS is entitled to access the records of everyone who uses paper money.
Anecdotes and online bragodaccio about tax avoidance are not a reasonable basis to believe that all Coinbase users are tax cheats whose financial lives should be opened to IRS investigators and the hackers looking over their shoulders. There must be some specific information about particular users, or else the IRS is seeking a general warrant, which the Fourth Amendment denies it the power to do.
Speaking of the Fourth Amendment, that rock-bottom "reasonable basis" standard is probably insufficient. Americans should and probably do have Fourth Amendment rights in information they entrust to financial services providers required by contract to keep it confidential. Observers of Fourth Amendment law know full-well that the "third-party doctrine," which cancels Fourth Amendment interests in shared information, is in retreat.
The IRS's effort to strip away the privacy of all Coinbase users is more broad than the government's effort in recent cases dealing with cell site location information. In the CSLI cases, the government has sought data about particular suspects, using a standard below the probable cause standard required by the Fourth Amendment ("specific and articulable facts showing that there are reasonable grounds to believe").
In United States v. Benbow, we argued to the D.C. Circuit that people retain a property right in information they share with service providers under contractual privacy obligations. This information is a "paper or effect" for purposes of the Fourth Amendment. Accordingly, a probable cause standard should apply to accessing that data.
Again, the government in the CSLI cases sought information about the cell phone use of particular suspects, and that is controversial enough given the low standard of the Stored Communications Act. Here, the IRS is seeking data about every user of Bitcoin, using a standard that's even lower.
Coinbase's privacy policy only permits it to share user information with law enforcement when it is "compelled to do so." That implies putting up a reasonable fight for the interests of its users. Given the low standard and the vastly overbroad demand, Coinbase seems obligated to put up that fight.

Culture and the Snare of Group Identity – Article by John Glenn
November 22, 2016 John Glenn Comments 0 Comment
D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy joins the ranks of several works that explore many of the challenges facing today's white working class. The book shines a light on Vance's Scots-Irish hillbilly heritage in Greater Appalachia, one of the most forlorn economic regions in the country.
Vance not only offers readers a timely, first-person perspective on Rust Belt America, but he also brings the cultural politics of an important segment of white America to the forefront. For many minorities, white culture itself has been historically presented as the standard bearer of privilege, but Vance tells a fuller story. One part of that story is that white mainstream culture shouldn't be conflated with the trailer parks of southeastern Ohio.
It wasn't long before I realized that some of the traditions and vices Vance grew up with would seem very familiar to other minorities, whether on the southside of Chicago, the Pine Ridge Reservation in Nebraska, or South Boston. But his story doesn't succeed because it exposes the detrimental norms foisted on many who live in ethnic enclaves. Instead, it takes aim at something more injurious: the tremendous burden of upholding group identity.
The Narcotic Pleasure of Being the Underdog
In his article "Revolt of the Masses," David Brooks highlighted Vance's honest and blunt portrayal of hillbilly life. Brooks describes it as a loyalty culture: "Families might be messed up in a million ways, but any act of disloyalty – like sharing personal secrets with outsiders – is felt acutely."
This is a twisted situation where, by virtue of constructs like class, race, or colloquial street name, fidelity to the group is demanded and freedom of thought curtailed. John McWhorter has remarked that there is a "narcotic pleasure" in the underdog-ism and victimology that plagues groups who see individual effort to pull oneself out of dismal circumstances as betrayal. In this context, social stagnation and failure become legitimate options. McWhorther's views are similar to Vance's own convictions that hillbilly culture might be its own worst enemy when it comes to socioeconomic progress.
Over 20 years ago, Thomas Sowell articulated the costs of being beholden to group identity. "Among its more serious social consequences are (1) putting a dangerous leverage in the hands of extremist fringes within each group, and (2) stifling the cultural advancement of lagging groups by sealing them off from the cultural advantages of the larger society around them," Sowell said.
This is why cultural advancement should be a mainstay in conversations about Americans who have been sidelined economically and nearly hollowed out socially.
But advancement needn't be about moralizing or federal intervention. In fact, its best incarnation is practical guidance. It's about helping people recognize existing opportunities, about speaking to the greater capacities people have beyond alcoholism, criminality, family disintegration, and other self-destructive tendencies. On the one hand, some people sense that mobility is possible even within the lowest social strata. On the other hand, in a group context, convenient excuses are abundant (the system, the elites, outsiders, disadvantage) and need to be unveiled for what they are.
The point is that until the stranglehold of group identity can be broken, a paradigm shift, enabling people to get beyond the very real and perceived obstacles, can't happen.
Even as Vance expresses his love for the Appalachian experience that shaped and molded him – for the family, friends, and homesteads that make up his fondest memories – he doesn't paper over the domestic chaos. Instead, Vance acknowledges the intense sense of parochialism that's rife in Appalachia. And he takes a bold step in placing the burden of resolving a myriad of problems on the shoulders of "the broad community of hillbillies."
This is laudable because it means that Vance isn't acting in the service of group protectionism. But, why not? Why not completely slime public policy and corporate greed? Why not cite job loss as the culprit? The truth is there's something more important at stake than the misplaced pride that leaves people self-conscious about being culturally authentic and loyal.
Curtail Liberty to Help the Worse-Off?
Even though authenticity is an age-old sham, there are status points and street cred to be earned by adhering to the neglected group script. Mostly the concept of authenticity rests on the specious notion that some groups experience America as a monolith, without variation. Oddly, there is also the tacit acknowledgment that certain groups, over time, have simply come to demonstrate particular mores – many of which are embraced and celebrated in-group.
This contradiction is what leads so-called underdog groups to brazenly demand acceptance and intervention at the same time.
For example, Linda Tirado, who is well-known for "explaining" to America what it means to be poor and make questionable decisions, offered this opinion: "Poverty is bleak and cuts off your long-term brain. It's why you see people with four different babydaddies instead of one. You grab a bit of connection wherever you can to survive." In the article, Tirado cataloged several unhelpful habits and then ended by saying that sympathy wasn't the goal and that she merely wanted to explain.
But the message that everything from healthcare to decent food to condoms is inaccessible to people because they are not rich prioritizes a false group narrative (in this case about working-class people) over individual experience. The implication is that society should act collectively to meet the needs of this segment of the population rather than hold intact a free society for all. This is the fallacious thinking that cuts across far too many demographics.
Americans everywhere should reject burdensome group identities. Some identities are unfortunately shaped by demanding more accountability from those outside the group than those within it. Others may be even worse because they are overly nationalist and represent what Benedict Anderson called imagined communities.
Let's hope that one day when the specter of group restraint dissipates and the individual is front and center, Americans will gain not only more liberty, but also clarity about the challenges we face as a nation.

A Transhumanist Opinion on Privacy – Article by Ryan Starr
November 18, 2016 Ryan Starr Comments 0 Comment
Ryan Starr
Privacy is a favorite topic of mine. Maintaining individual privacy is a crucial element in free society. Yet there are many who want to invade it for personal or political gain. As our digital fingerprint becomes a part of our notion of self, how do we maintain our personal privacy on an inherently impersonal network of data? Where do we draw that line on what is private, and how do we enforce it? These are questions that are difficult to answer when looking at a short-term perspective. However, if we look further into the probable future, we can create a plan that helps protect the privacy of citizens today and for generations to come. By taking into account the almost certain physical merger of human biology and technology, the answer becomes clear. Our electronic data should be treated as part of our bodily autonomy.
The explosive success of social media has shown that we already view ourselves as partly digital entities. Where we go, what we eat, and who we are with is proudly displayed in cyberspace for eternity. But beyond that we store unique data about ourselves "securely" on the internet. Bank accounts, tax returns, even medical information are filed away on a server somewhere and specifically identified as us. It's no longer solely what we chose to let people see. We are physical and digital beings, and it is time we view these two sides as one before we take the next step into enhanced humanity.
Subdermal storage of electronic data is here, and its storage capabilities will expand rapidly. Soon we will be able to store a lot more than just access codes for our doors. It is hard to speculate exactly what people will chose to keep stored this way, and there may even come a time when what we see and hear is automatically stored this way. But before we go too far into what will be stored, we must understand how this information is accessed in present time. These implants are currently based in NFC technology. Near-Field Communication is a method of storing and transmitting data wirelessly within a very short distance. Yes, "wireless" is the key word. It means that if I can connect my NFC tag to my smart phone by just waiving my hand close to it (usually within an inch or so), then technically someone else can, too. While current antenna limitations and the discreetness of where a person's tag is implanted create a highly secure method of storage, advances in technology will eventually make it easier to access the individual. This is why it is urgent we develop a streamlined policy for privacy.
The current Transhumanist position is that personally collected intellectual property, whether stored digitally or organically, is the property of the individual. As such, it should be protected from unauthorized search and download. The current platform also states that each individual has the freedom to enhance their own body as they like so long as it doesn't negatively impact others. However, it does not specify what qualifies as a negative impact or how to prevent it. Morphological freedom is a double-edged sword. A person can a person enhance their ability to access information on themselves, but they can also use it to access others. It is entirely feasible enhancements will be created that allow a person to hack another. And collecting personal data isn't the only risk with that. What if the hacking victim has an artificial heart or an implanted insulin pump? The hacker could potentially access the code the medical device is operating with and change or delete it, ultimately leading to death. Another scenario might be hacking into someone's enhanced sensory abilities. Much like in the novel Ender's Game, a person can access another to see what they see. This ability can be abused countless ways ranging from government surveillance to sexual voyeurism. While this is still firmly within the realm of science fiction, a transhuman society will need to create laws to protect against these person-to-person invasions of privacy.
Now let's consider mass data collection. Proximity beacons could easily and cheaply be scattered across stores and cities to function as passive collection points much like overhead cameras are today. Retail stands to gain significantly from this technology, especially if they are allowed access to intimate knowledge about customers. Government intelligence gathering also stands to benefit from this capability. Levels of adrenaline, dopamine, and oxytocin stored for personal health analysis could be taken and paired with location data to put together an invasive picture of how people are feeling in a certain situation. Far more can be learned and exploited when discreetly collected biodata is merged with publicly observable activity.
In my mind, these are concerns that should be addressed sooner than later. If we take the appropriate steps to preserve personal privacy in all domains, we can make a positive impact that will last into the 22nd century.

Aqueduct Compound and Staircase Buildings – Art by G. Stolyarov II
Aqueduct Compound and Staircase Buildings
This set of structures was created to begin the beautification of a desolate plaza beside an unfinished aqueduct in the Minecraft Imperial City. The main 15-story building replaced a previous cavernous outcropping (whose counterpart can still be seen on the other side of the plaza) and connects the aqueduct to the gardens on the other side. The building has an open floor plan on the inside, and one can see all floors simultaneously from most vantage points (clearly a structure meant for observation rather than routine occupancy – but the views are quite intriguing).
To render the plaza accessible, large staircases were constructed, doubling as roofs for three geometric conference centers featuring some experimental ornamentation.
This was the sporadic work of approximately 10 months. Everything you see in the airy/translucent white/turquoise/blue motifs was built by me one block at a time! These are actually some of the least traditional buildings within the Imperial City world, and this is possibly the stylistic direction in which modernism would have gone in an alternate, more rationalist-driven universe where the Enlightenment influence still predominated.
This structure was created within the Imperial City map in Minecraft, a collaborative project coordinated by user Rigolo and freely downloadable here.

Secede and Decentralize: An Open Letter to Clinton Supporters – Article by Justin Murray
November 15, 2016 Justin Murray Comments 0 Comment
Justin Murray
Dear Clinton Voters:
I know this election has been painful for you. Many feel betrayed and even believe yourselves no longer living in the country you thought you were. Reflect on that pain and frustration for a moment. Now recognize how you feel now is how an equally large, possibly larger, number felt for the past eight years. Those who are of a liberty bent feel it all the time, no matter who ends up in office. Reflect on it, feel it, understand it, own it.
Before you get the wrong idea, this is not my attempt at rubbing in your face the loss of your candidate or an endorsement of President-elect Donald Trump. If anything, I share your pain and frustration, just for an entirely different reason. What you're feeling, this hopelessness, this feeling that you're no longer represented, this feeling that people other than you are now able to dictate your way of life, this is all a result of the massive expansion of the Federal government. Elections have long ceased being voting for someone you think represents the lifestyle you want to live and are, in practice, an exercise on determining whether or not you get to impose your preferred lifestyle on someone else.
This is the nature of elections, especially the "first past the post" method utilized in the United States. This system is, by its nature, one where one group of people enjoys the ability to effectively dictate to those who did not win how they will be living their lives over the next term period. The effect of this on voter frustration, which manifests as cultural divisiveness, only gets magnified the more powerful that government becomes. A weak federal government would produce little divisiveness because there is little to be divided over. A strong Federal government would produce significant divisiveness since there is much to be divided over. It also goes to say that an absolute government would create absolute division while the absence of government would not produce a division because there isn't any risk of having your life dictated by distant populations. When we add in factors of geographic distance and cultural diversity, we end up with a horrible mud-slinging process where people actively dislike both candidates and the electorate openly attacks one another over the political process, completing the division process. These issues won't go away with vague calls of being civil, coming together or getting along. One group or another will always feel put out and ignored since those in office only truly represent those that got them elected.
However, you need not despair. The liberty movement has the answers you seek to not only distance yourself from future risk of being dictated to by distant populations and political heartache but also be able to more quickly and nimbly get policies and lifestyles you prefer without having to fight someone else for it.
Option 1: Demand Your Representatives Shut Down DC
Nothing Obama signed into law or created through regulatory diktat had to be done at the national level. Not the Affordable Care Act. Not raising minimum wages. Not identifying tax rates. Not regulatory agencies. Not even food stamps and various other welfare programs. None of it has to be done in Washington DC. All of it can be done at your State level and even locally. To prove a point, Colorado had an opportunity to form the nation's first European-style single-payer health care system. Had that referendum passed, residents of Colorado could have been able to copy the Canadian model of medical care delivery. And it would have been entirely legal and done so without having to collect the opinions of 320 million people or impose it on residents of other States that would not have wanted it.
However, as noted in the linked article, the referendum was opposed on grounds that it could not be sufficiently paid for. This is not because of the common argument that the entire nation needs to be tapped to afford it. Colorado is wealthier than the national average, so Colorado would realistically end up having to pay residents of other States if such a scheme went national. So why is this law fiscally impossible in today's environment? It is mainly because the Federal government is already taking all those resources for itself.
On average, the Federal government consumes 50 percent of all the taxes paid in this country. This means that, if the average holds for Colorado, and the State is likely further disadvantaged because of the higher income bracket, residents are sending $1 in taxes to the federal government for every $1 in taxes that are collected from them that go to the State or Local governments. In other words, Colorado residents have no say in how half their tax resources are used. Worse, Colorado residents would likely do a better job administering the exact same programs and do so for less because most Federal programs do little more than return the money back to equivalent State agencies. This means your State is having to cover the overhead of 2.7 million Federal employees whose sole purpose is to take money from your State then give it back again with orders on how to spend it.
By eliminating these programs wholesale on a national level and utilizing your existing State systems, you can avoid any disruptions in the programs and also enjoy a less expensive process. Instead of the Federal government collecting its pound of flesh, you will send it to your State capital. This not only allows you to continue the policies and even amend and adjust them more readily without having to convince up to 59 other Senators, hundreds of House representatives and a sitting president, along with an unknown and distant bureaucracy. All you need to do is ask your State representative, who is probably far more available to talk to than the senator you send to DC. With an added bonus, the people living the next State over aren't going to feel threatened by your political philosophy because they are safe knowing that whatever system you decide to live under does not apply to them if they so choose not to.
Option 2: Secession
This is a more extreme process, but it is also just as valid and allows for more culturally compatible people to have a stronger option at self-determination. This strategy further removes the chances of having a central power structure usurping the wishes and desires of your more culturally compatible group by incompatible groups elsewhere. If one looks at the 2016 election map:
We can find that, at minimum, save for a couple of orphans in the form of New Mexico, Denver, Minneapolis, and Chicago, the United States as it stands is perfectly set up for a secession movement to split the nation into at least three separate entities.
This would allow a greater level of freedom for residents of these three newly formed entities. Further, this split is more than possible from economic size. For the purposes of this exercise, I'll name the three new nations Cascadia (Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and let's throw Hawaii in there), New England (all the blue colored States from Virginia through Maine), and the United States (everyone else). If the USA split into these three entities, here is how the top 20 nations by GDP would look:
These new nations would rank second, fourth and sixth in world GDP and two of them, USA and Cascadia, are one decent year of growth away from jumping up a rank.
An additional benefit of secession is the ability to further harmonize the new nation with more desirable trade practices, immigration policy, foreign policy, military spending, court systems, and monetary policy. These decentralized entities even have the option of altering how the government itself works, such as dispensing with individual State identities, removing the Electoral College and applying a direct vote system or even converting into a European-style Parliamentary system. Secession allows for even greater self-determination missing in today's system.
Or you could continue operating as-is and hope enough swing voters decide they want to go back to your philosophy so you can take your turn again imposing your lifestyle on someone else and taking the risk of playing backseat where you truly have no representation or real say in how you live.
In any case, the liberty movement can be a strong ally to allow you to avoid having to live through another Donald Trump term and forge your own destiny without all the strife and divisiveness that goes with a modern American election cycle.

Memo to the Next Administration: Defense Spending Must Be For Actual Defense – Article by Ron Paul
In a disturbing indication of how difficult it would be to bring military spending in line with actual threats overseas, House Armed Services Chairman Rep. Mac Thornberry (R – TX) told President Obama last week that his war funding request of $11.6 billion for the rest of the year was far too low. That figure for the last two months of 2016 is larger than Spain's budget for the entire year! And this is just a "war-fighting" supplemental, not actual "defense" spending! More US troops are being sent to Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and elsewhere and the supplemental request is a way to pay for them without falling afoul of the "sequestration" limits.
The question is whether this increase in US military activity and spending overseas actually keeps us safer, or whether it simply keeps the deep state and the military-industrial complex alive and well-funded.
Unfortunately many Americans confuse defense spending with military spending. The two terms are used almost interchangeably. But there is a huge difference. I have always said that I wouldn't cut anything from the defense budget. We need a robust defense of the United States and it would be foolish to believe that we have no enemies or potential enemies.
The military budget is something very different from the defense budget. The military budget is the money spent each year not to defend the United States, but to enrich the military-industrial complex, benefit special interests, regime-change countries overseas, maintain a global US military empire, and provide defense to favored allies. The military budget for the United States is larger than the combined military spending budget of the next seven or so countries down the line.
To get the military budget in line with our real defense needs would require a focus on our actual interests and a dramatic decrease in spending. The spending follows the policy, and the policy right now reflects the neocon and media propaganda that we must run the rest of the world or there will be total chaos. This is sometimes called "American exceptionalism," but it is far from a "pro-American" approach.
Do we really need to continue spending hundreds of billions of dollars manipulating elections overseas? Destabilizing governments that do not do as Washington tells them? Rewarding those who follow Washington's orders with massive aid and weapons sales? Do we need to continue the endless war in Afghanistan even as we discover that Saudi Arabia had far more to do with 9/11 than the Taliban we have been fighting for a decade and a half? Do we really need 800 US military bases in more than 70 countries overseas? Do we need to continue to serve as the military protection force for our wealthy NATO partners even though they are more than capable of defending themselves? Do we need our CIA to continue to provoke revolutions like in Ukraine or armed insurgencies like in Syria?
If the answer to these questions is "yes," then I am afraid we should prepare for economic collapse in very short order. Then, with our economy in ruins, we will face the wrath of those countries overseas which have been in the crosshairs of our interventionist foreign policy. If the answer is no, then we must work to convince our countrymen to reject the idea of Empire and embrace the United States as a constitutional republic that no longer goes abroad seeking monsters to slay. The choice is ours.

The election of Donald Trump has changed the political dynamics in Washington D.C., but it will not fundamentally change our work at the Tenth Amendment Center. We will continue to aggressively fight unconstitutional federal actions with the same vigor we have over the last eight years.
The Tenth Amendment Center was founded in 2006 in opposition to Bush war and surveillance policies. The organization has also worked to support states nullifying federal programs like marijuana prohibition and the Bush-era real ID act.
"Constitutionalists should retch at the mere thought of John Bolton being anywhere near 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue," Tenth Amendment Center founder and executive director Michael Boldin said in response to hearing Trump is considering the Bush-policy architect for Secretary of State.
Tenth Amendment Center Executive Director Michael Boldin and Communications Director Mike Maharrey are always available to provide quotes from a constitutional perspective on Trump policy.
The Tenth Amendment Center, based in Los Angeles, seeks to limit federal power through action in the states and education.

Calgary mayor sticks fork in Flames-Stampeders combined stadium-arena plan
Posted on March 29, 2017 by Neil deMause
It's always best not to assign too much significance to the exact wording of off-the-cuff remarks, and the CalgaryNEXT stadiarena plan for the Calgary Flames and Stampeders has been pretty much dead since it was revealed last April that the public cost would be at least $1.2 billion, and the city council could still overrule him, and declaring one plan dead isn't the same as declaring all plans dead. Still! Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi actually using the word "dead" — as in, "the thing about a new arena project, and I'll use those terms because CalgaryNEXT, the West Village project, is dead" — is a pretty good sign that the Chest Protector Dome is, in fact, dead. Time to move on to Plan B, of which nobody actually has a clear one, but it sounds a lot more polite than "lump it."
The more interesting statement by Nenshi came after the "dead" thing, actually:
"But, the thing about a new arena project is that our first criteria has always been public money for public benefit, so it really is up to the Calgary Sports and Entertainment (Corp.) to figure out what the public benefit is," the mayor continued.
Again, that's nothing new from Nenshi, who's consistently said he won't approve any plan without a clear public benefit. But it's also a bit of a thrown gauntlet: You want money for a new arena, first show me why I should build you one. This is an eminently reasonable way to approach subsidy demands, whether from a hockey team or an auto plant, and provides an even better reason to consider making the great leap northward.
Flames CEO threatens to move team, denies he's threatening to move team, universe explodes
Calgary report: Combined stadium-arena would cost public $1.2B, Flames should give up and start over
Nenshi re-elected as Calgary mayor, enraged Flames staffer tweets this is "worse than Trump"

John Bladen on March 29, 2017 at 11:38 am said:
Well done, Mayor Nenshi.
Just don't go too far north Neil… you'll end up in Edmonton – a city where the administration first balked at a $480m subsidy demand from the Oilers, then broke off negotiations with them, then invited them back to the table and ended up giving them $640-$670m (depending on what you count, and that only covers what has been built thus far… not additional transit and road improvements which will surely be coming).
Man, I bet the Katz group doesn't make that mistake again…
Former Mayor Stephen Mandel, who shepherded this public largesse for Katz several years ago, just recently flew in (he no longer lives in Edmonton or pays the increased taxes he helped put in place) to make a cameo and tell everyone how great it was.
If you are wondering who paid for the flight and hotel, you are not alone.
Steven on March 29, 2017 at 12:36 pm said:
Canada will unfortunately follow the USA in subsidizing slowly dying so called national past times. NHL and Canada rules football will be propped up with tax money and corporate sponsorship pressure and tax incentives. A battle in Calgary is reason to celebrate , but this general won't lead forever.
Joe on March 29, 2017 at 2:15 pm said:
I don't blame you for your cynicism, but so far Edmonton is the exception, not Calgary. Particularly when the best stalking horse these owners can find is to float a tour of Seattle, who also isn't publicly funding an arena. So maybe there's hope. In hockey. In Canada at least.
Steven on March 29, 2017 at 3:42 pm said:
Videotron center was built 100% on the public dime to lure the NHL. The government also gave the prospective owner a management contract which will provide at least 5 million a year in operating subsidies . Also TD Place in Ottawa was a public subsidy to lure the CFL after the local team folded.
Joe on March 30, 2017 at 12:11 pm said:
Ottawa I'll give you. Quebec was different even by the standards of free stadium money in the US. The league told them (Markham, too) all along not to build anything expecting a team, there were no guarantees, and they built it anyway. So while it's a crazy amount of public money it's not something the owners or Bettman extorted out of anybody.
I understand your point. However hasn't the NHL already supported the request of public welfare in Edmonton and Calgary. Also they consistently seek free arenas and yearly operating subsidies from most US cities.
Robert on March 29, 2017 at 2:16 pm said:
I didn't realize that combined use football/anything else was really a thing any longer. Hockey and basketball work out fine because the courts are similar sized and seating is comparable. But those older multi-use stadiums like the Silverdome, etc. all tended to be pretty terrible for anything other than football.
Neil deMause on March 29, 2017 at 2:29 pm said:
This was going to be separate football and hockey venues sutured together, like a pigeon-rat.
Ah, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for clarifying.
John Bladen on March 29, 2017 at 4:25 pm said:
If you can get public funding to sew a pigeon and a rat together, why wouldn't you?
Seattle on March 29, 2017 at 3:34 pm said:
Hopefully they figure this out for Calgary, please I hope they don't use Seattle as a possibility for the Flames move there, I am getting tired of that game and also the Flames belong to the great City of Calgary.
But they once "belonged" to the great city of Atlanta, of course.
They are owned by a private interest (principal owner: Murray Edwards, president of CNRL… if you know of them at all it may be because of two workplace fatalities a few years ago at their Horizon site. One of their first public comments after the incident:
"We expect OHS to clear the site by Wednesday and be back near full production on Friday".
Yes, I did write that down as matter of fact… it sits along side Bob Murray's press conference after the Crandell Canyon mine disaster as flagrant examples of PR and empathy failure.
CNRL also successfully sued to limit the scope of the accident investigation to whether an air ambulance should have been dispatched (it wasn't) to try and save the two workers.
Having been to McMahon stadium (Stampeders home) a few times, I can assert that it probably does need to be replaced. A major renovation might keep it useable for a decade or so, but at some point 60+ year old structures do need to be replaced (witness Winnipeg's Bomber Stadium, Regina's Taylor field, Hamilton's Ivor Wynne etc). Whether an individual building is there or not is not for me to say, but there does come a time when refurbishment means throwing good money after bad.
The problem of course is that the business that needs the new facility really isn't willing to spend much on it (and preferably nothing).
The Stamps alone could not ever hope to build a new facility. The Flames ownership group (like the Oilers owner) certainly could.
Why is it up to the public to pay for a new showroom for sports teams when car dealers, manufacturers and retail business owners have to fund their own?
Since most of the new arenas also double as commercial developments for fee paying tenants, why should any public money go towards them?
Big box stores may get tax breaks (sometimes very lucrative ones) as a lure, but rarely does the local government use tax dollars to buy the land, service it, build the buildings and then turn it over to the master lease holder in exchange for a hearty thank you and a promise to not leave for 30 years.
Erik G. on March 30, 2017 at 12:26 am said:
There are 60 college football stadiums older than the Stampeders' venue, and another 4 that opened the same year as it.
Navi on March 31, 2017 at 9:39 am said:
Or, you could maintain & update your old structure along the way, instead of penny-pinching and never spending a dime on the old structure; then crying that you need a new building because of peeling paint and chairs that aren't theatre quality.

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It constitutes an autonomous Region of Italy, along with surrounding minor islands, officially referred to as Regione Siciliana (in Italian, Sicilian Region). Sicily has traditionally been regarded as a bridge between Africa and Europe. Officially considered one of the regions of Italy, Sicily has nevertheless enjoyed regional autonomy with extensive powers of self-government since 1946. Sicily's strategic location in the Mediterranean has prompted centuries of invasion and ccupation by foreign powers and closely parallels the rise and fall of virtually every empire since the eighth century B.C.
The name "Sicily" is thought to have originated with the Sikels, one of three peoples who occupied Sicily during the Neolithic Age. Thereafter, during the seventh and eighth centuries B.C., the Greeks established colonies, including Messina, Syracuse, and Gela, under which Sicily flourished culturally. Although the Carthaginians arrived at roughly the same time as the Greeks, they were confined to the northwest of the island and exerted a lesser influence on the island. However, by the third century B.C. the Greek Empire declined and the Romans established control, which lasted until the fifth century A.D. Sicily was subsequently occupied by the Ostrogoths, the Byzantines, and the Arabs. Sicily flourished once again under Norman rule, which began around 1000 A.D. Frederick II's reign (1211-1250) produced an outpouring of literary, scientific, and architectural works, representing a cultural peak. After his death, however, Sicily passed into the hands of France, an oppressive occupation that ended with the bloody "Sicilian Vespers" revolt in 1282. Thereafter, for the better part of the next six centuries, the Spanish ruled Sicily, with periodic occupation from other countries. Weary from years of invasion, the Sicilians rallied under Giuseppe Garibaldi, who won control of the island in 1860. The Sicilians enthusiastically supported the unification of Italy, which was completed during the Risorgimento of 1860-1870.
The first significant wave of Sicilian immigrants to the United States began in the late 1880s. Before 1880 less than 1,000 Sicilians immigrated to America per year. But by 1906 over 100,000 Sicilians left for the States in that year alone. Ultimately, out of the 4.5 million Italians that immigrated to the United States between the years 1880 and 1930, one out of every four was a Sicilian. The immigrants represented virtually every area in Sicily. The numbers would have been higher but for the passage of the U.S. Immigration Act of 1924. The Act reduced the number of persons allowed to immigrate to the United States from Italy to 3,845. The surge of Italian immigrants to the United States happened for several reasons. After the unification of Italy was completed in 1870, Sicilians were confident their lot would improve after centuries of la miseria. However, they were soon disillusioned. Sicily suffered a series of agricultural crises, which precipitated a sharp drop in the grain and citrus markets.

Scott Dixon insists 'anything is possible' in title race
By: Alex Gallacher
AlexGallacher95
Scott Dixon's hunt for back to back championships hit a major snag after Iowa. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver left Iowa with a 98-point gap to leader Josef Newgarden, however following a standout performance in Mid-Ohio, Dixon is now back in the hunt.
Scoring his sixth win at the road course, the New Zealander feels he has just as much of a shot at the title as Newgarden, Rossi and Pagenaud.
"I think going in, what were we, 98 points back and now 62 or low 60s right there, so that's a big shift," Dixon said. "Those are the weekends you need. We always go on about that 100-point mark, but when you come to the last race if you're that far back it's going to be impossible."
Dixon got a big break at Mid-Ohio, as on the last lap Ryan Hunter-Reay and Newgarden made contact helping Dixon gain even more points in the standings. Sitting so far back, Dixon knows that he will need a little help from the racing gods. However, no driver ever wants to wish back luck on their competitors.
"You've got to take it. You don't wish that on anybody," Dixon said. "Talking to Ryan, who I guess that altercation was with, he really didn't know what Josef was trying to do. Kind of a bit surprised to be honest, especially in the situation that he's had, but it happens. It happens to the best of us.
"We make these mistakes, and the unfortunate part with Josef, I think that's going to wind him up even more and he's going to be super strong come Pocono" Dixon added "Either way, I think he's going to be the person to beat. That team is super strong right now, and we're going to have our work cut out."
While the road to a Dixon comeback is going to be very difficult, it's not impossible. Dixon is no stranger to making up outlandish point gaps. In 2015, Dixon entered the final grand prix of the season 47 points back of Juan Pablo Montoya, using the double points to his advantage he won the champinship making up all 47 points in one race.
With the IndyCar finale moving this year to Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca, it creates a new issue for the drivers. As most of the drivers have never raced at the facility in any capacity, it will be tough to see who has the edge come the final race. With four races left on the calender, Dixon will need to hit his marks everywhere he goes if he has any chance of chasing the title.
"Anything is possible," added Dixon. "I don't know, we've just got to keep our head down. We can't start thinking about that right now, and if you win races, that will take care of it."

Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras strengthens its weather resiliency and safety
Brazilian carrier, Azul Linhas Aéreas Brasileiras (Azul), has implemented SITA eWAS Dispatch, a new-generation flight tracking and weather data solution, giving dispatchers a real-time view of the location of every aircraft and live and upcoming weather hazards.
This visibility will bring improved operational efficiency, climate resiliency, and safety, including carbon emissions and fuel consumption savings.
Climate science studies warn of increasing hazardous weather events linked to the changing climate. The World Metrological Organization (WMO) highlights that Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is a region significantly impacted by extreme weather and climate change. Early warning systems and climate services can help reduce climate impacts, but these are lacking in the LAC region, according to the WMO.
As a carrier operating domestic and international flights across the LAC region, Azul has selected SITA's cloud-based tracking and weather awareness solution to strengthen its weather resiliency and safety. Instead of the usual approach of a single weather source, eWAS Dispatch has global weather coverage from multiple providers, allowing dispatchers to make better decisions based on more accurate and extensive data. The solution also features an early warning system that provides alerts on potential weather issues. It is also Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) compliant – the industry standard for global flight tracking to support inflight safety.
Severe weather events often prove expensive for airlines when factoring in the cost of network and operational impacts, passenger reallocation, and so on. SITA estimate that its eWAS Dispatch solution could save around $600,000 in avoiding just one weather incident. The flight replanning feature can save airlines like Azul approximately 153 tons of fuel and 488 tons of CO2 per year based on conservative estimates. The carbon reduction benefits support Azul's sustainability ambitions to be net-zero by 2045, five years ahead of the industry's long-term net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 goal.
Diogo Youssef, Engineering and Flight Dispatch Manager, Azul, said: "We are operating in a region impacted by extreme weather. We selected SITA eWAS Dispatch because it provides superior aviation weather data and next-generation flight tracking to help build our resiliency to weather events, while improving operational efficiencies and reducing emissions."
Yann Cabaret, Chief Executive Officer, SITA FOR AIRCRAFT, said: "We're providing and developing best-in-class solutions that help address the challenges facing our industry today and tomorrow. Real-time data flow is key to helping airlines like Azul adapt to changing environments and support better decision-making for more resilient and sustainable flight operations."

33rd President of the United States: 1945 ‐ 1953
Veto of Bill Establishing a Program in Aid of the Navajo and Hopi Indians.
To the Senate of the United States:
I return herewith, without my approval, the enrolled bill (S. 1407) to promote the rehabilitation of the Navajo and Hopi Tribes of Indians and the better utilization of the resources of the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations, and for other purposes.
The principal objective of this bill is the establishment of a ten-year program of capital and other improvements for the benefit and rehabilitation of the Navajo and Hopi Tribes of Indians. Appropriations would be authorized for this purpose totaling $88,570,000. Among the principal program goals specified and the amounts provided therefor would be: roads and trails, $20 million; school buildings and equipment, and other educational measures, $25 million; soil and water conservation and range improvement work, $10 million; and completion and extension of existing irrigation projects, and completion of the investigation to determine the feasibility of the proposed San Juan-Shiprock irrigation project, $9 million.
I have withheld my approval with reluctance and only after the most careful consideration of all the provisions of S. 1407. The bill contains many meritorious features. In fact, its only objectionable provisions are those of section 9 which, with some qualifications, extend State civil and criminal laws and court jurisdiction to the Navajo-Hopi reservations which are now under Federal and Tribal laws and courts. Section 9 is heavily weighted with possibilities of grave injury to the very people who are intended to be the beneficiaries of the bill. Its many and serious defects outweigh, in my judgment, the merits of the rest of the bill.
In the first place, the meaning of section 9 is obscure. While it seeks to subject the Navajo and Hopi Indians to the civil and criminal laws of the States where their reservations are situated, in certain circumstances and under certain conditions, the details of these circumstances and conditions cannot be determined, with any assurance of legal correctness, from the language of section 9. For example, the right to inherit personal property, such as cattle, sheep, tools and utensils, is a matter of vital concern to the Navajo and Hopi Indians, as it is to other human beings. The descent of this property upon death is a matter which is now governed by their tribal practices and customs. Section 9 might be construed as abrogating these practices and customs at one fell swoop and imposing upon these Indians a system governing the descent and distribution of personal property which they neither want nor understand. Another matter of vital concern to the Navajo and Hopi Indians is their water rights, since they live in an arid country where water is the most precious of all natural resources. The jurisdiction to adjudicate, protect and enforce these water rights is now vested in the Federal courts where Indian rights are assured of full protection. Section 9 might be construed as transferring plenary power over Indian water rights to the State courts where there is much less assurance of protection for Indian rights, or it might be construed as leaving the existing Federal jurisdiction substantially unimpaired. These two illustrations are far from exhaustive, but they reveal quite plainly that the bill contains serious threats to the basic rights of these Indians, and at best would create a series of legal tangles which only years of expensive litigation could unravel. In the interim, many valuable interests might be lost and much irreparable injury suffered by the Navajo and Hopi peoples.
A second major objection to section 9 is that its avowed purpose of accomplishing a broad-scale extension of State laws to the Navajo and Hopi reservations is in conflict with one of the fundamental principles of Indian law accepted by our Nation, namely, the principle of respect for tribal self-determination in matters of local government. The Congress and the Executive Branch have repeatedly recognized that so long as Indian communities wished to maintain, and were prepared to maintain, their own political and social institutions, they should not be forced to do otherwise. One of the most liberal self-government clauses ever written for an Indian tribe appears in section 6 of the enrolled bill. That section declares that the Navajo people shall have "the right to adopt a tribal constitution", which "may provide for the exercise by the Navajo Tribe of any powers vested in the tribe or any organ thereof by existing law, together with such additional powers as the members of the tribe may, with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, deem proper to include therein", and which "shall authorize the fullest possible participation of the Navajos in the administration of their affairs". It would be inconsistent to enact into law section 9 concurrently with section 6. If either is to be accepted as meaning what it says, the other must be viewed as mainly rhetoric.
Statutes have, of course, been enacted from time to time extending State criminal or civil laws to particular Indian communities. Primarily, these statutes dealt with comparatively small groups, the members of which through long association with neighboring whites, had reached the stage where they were prepared to and wished to be governed by State and local law. The Navajo and Hopi Tribes are not in this category. They are, indeed, the Indians who are probably least prepared for such a major change.
Ultimate acceptance of State jurisdiction is a logical consequence of our policy of assisting the Indians to develop their natural talents and physical resources in ways that will enable them to participate fully in our free, but vigorously competitive, society. In the long run, this process of adjustment to our culture can be expected to result in the complete merger of all Indian groups into the general body of our population. Yet the desirability of this result is no reason for compelling the Navajos and Hopis to accept legal integration long before they have been prepared for such a consequence through the orderly course of social and economic integration. Premature steps for tribal dissolution have invariably revealed that the process of cultural adjustment cannot be hastened, and may be retarded, by attempts at legal compulsion. For many years more, the lives of the Navajo and Hopi peoples will continue to be governed by the isolation of the country where they live, the facts that four-fifths of them cannot speak English and that the majority of their children have never been to school, the primitive background of their social concepts, the limitations of their economic resources, and other circumstances which tend to make their tribal governments a necessary instrument for their continued progress in civilization. It would be unjust and unwise to compel them to abide by State laws written to fill other needs than theirs.
In reaching my decision to veto S. 1407, I have been greatly influenced by the attitude of the Navajo Indians toward the bill. The Navajo Tribe includes about 65,000 of the approximately 70,000 Indians affected by S. 1407. They greatly favor the long-range rehabilitation program which the bill proposes. But much as they favor the constructive provisions of the bill, they fear section 9 more. This is indicated by the fact that at a meeting held on October 13, 1949, after final Congressional action on the bill, the Navajo Tribal Council, the Tribe's governing body, adopted a resolution urging that I veto S. 1407.
In withholding approval from S. 1407, I am glad to note that the principal feature of that measure, the ten-year program of capital improvements provided for in section 1, can be put into effect through normal appropriation procedures. Expenditures for substantially all of the purposes listed in section 1 are authorized by existing laws relating to Indian affairs. The purpose in proposing a special authorization for the ten-year program was to afford the Congress an opportunity to review that program as a whole before appropriation estimates were submitted for the individual items. The Congress, by its action on S. 1407, has now manifested its view that the capital improvements in question should be undertaken at once and prosecuted speedily to completion. Accordingly, I plan to include in the budget for the fiscal year 1951, appropriation estimates that will provide for initiation of the ten-year program. Since statutory authorization for almost all of these items already exists, the failure of S. 1407 to become law will not interpose a legal bar to the appropriation of the necessary funds, although it will result in the loss of some incidental features of S. 1407 that would have been of value to the Indians. I would, of course, be glad to approve a bill that incorporated these features and the other provisions of S. 1407, without the objectionable provisions of section 9, should the Congress see fit to pass such a measure.
