Obama nominates former SOPA lobbyist to lead TPP negotiations The Electronic Frontier Foundation reports that President Obama has nominated former SOPA lobbyist Robert Holleyman to join the U.S. negotiators leading the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The TPP is a secretive, multi-national trade agreement which, if the establishment cronies have their way, will serve to restrict intellectual property laws around the world. Obama’s nomination of Holleyman, a former CEO of the Business Software Alliance (BSA), signals that the administration has every intention of pushing

For this weeks edition of Mondays with Murray, we turn the floor over to Tom Woods, who gave a speech last year describing how Murray Rothbard changed his mind on war. Woods, much like Lions of Liberty contributor John Odermatt, is a self-professed former Neocon as it pertains to his foreign policy views. Similar to how the words of Ron Paul schooling Rudy Giuliani on the issue of blowback awoke Odermatt from his neoconservative coma, Woods was snapped out of his Neocon

It has always amazed me how the State, with assistance from the media, is almost always able to nudge a vast majority of the populace in the direction they desire. Even when opposition to government intervention domestically or foreign entanglements invoke strong resistance in the beginning, eventually the masses go along with the government wishes. In regards to the present situation in Syria, the State could be using the accusation of chemical weapons use in order to sway public opinion.

For those libertarians that set their goals on the dismantling of the State, it is difficult to determine how a transition into a Stateless society would occur. Some advocate only non-violent civil disobedience under all circumstances, others hang their hope on political actions, and still others claim the only chance for the dissolution of the State is by way of revolution. It is critically important to make the distinction that inciting revolution is not synonymous with demanding violent overthrow of

President Obama has been topping news reports repeatedly recently with his various statements regarding Iran, Israel and the possibility of Iran becoming a nuclear power. Most recently Obama met with Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, and in a widely quoted statement informed him that the U.S. “had Israel’s back.” This comes in the wake of Netanyahu claiming that Israel would “reserve the right to defend itself,” with the potential for a military strike against Iran’s nuclear sites a strong possibility.

This weekend was a big one for that champion of liberty, Congressman Ron Paul. Not only did he raise $1 Million in his Veterans’ Day Money Bomb, but he also got the opportunity to “participate” in yet another GOP Debate on foreign policy, aired by CBS. However, Dr. Paul, clearly a frontrunner for the GOP nomination by any measure be it fund raising, straw polls, or standard poll, was given merely 89 seconds to speak in the hour that aired
