/That I had loved not as I should a creature made of clay/ /When the angel woos the clay he'd lose his wings at the dawn of day/ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••­••••• I want to make an edit of Sebastian listening to Jim sing, but then of course On Raglan Road is so very much Sebastian POV. It becomes quite cruel and prophetic, as if Jim intentionally sings it to Sebastian. I've been looking forever for a scene from Paul (or Fassy) to...

2021-06-06

The recent spate of bombing violence in Israel's West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza demonstrates the enduring attachment both Israelis and Palestinians have to physical land in the country.

In late May we learned that, after a five-month deployment to one of the most dangerous cities in the world, the American military would finally be going home. Well, not really. They already were home. The dangerous warzone was the American federal capital, Washington, DC. And the “danger” that the military was supposed to be countering was entirely government made.

Decentralization: Why the EU May Be Better than the US

Over the years, I’ve been pretty hard on the European Union. Both as an editor and a writer, I’ve published articles criticizing its central bank and its unelected, bureaucratic central government. Especially objectionable is the EU ruling class’s propensity for cynical politics built around threatening and intimidating voters and national governments who don’t conform to Brussels’ wishes.

Public Debt by Region
The 2020 recession, which many countries are still going through, now has an “official” name: the Great Lockdown. In economic terms, the public sector’s response in practically all countries has been very swift and bold (which is not necessarily a good thing).1 This has caused the global public debt to skyrocket as never before.

Money Supply, M2 and TMS / Rothbard-Salerno Measure, 1998 - 2020
After three months in a row of hitting new all-time highs, money supply growth slowed in March, dropping to a 10-month low. This slowdown, however, does not suggest any significant departure from the past year's high growth in money supply—which came in the wake of unprecedented quantitative easing, central bank asset purchases, and various stimulus packages.

Excess Mortality during Covid-19, Jan 2020 - Mar 2021
In any given year during the past decade in the United States, more than 2.5 million Americans have died—from all causes.

This has been due partially to the US’s aging population, and also due to rising obesity levels and drug overdoses.
