Ludwig von Mises on Peace and Social Cooperation
Critics of the free market often claim that capitalism is a system of ruthless struggle for survival. They say it is a system of dog-eat-dog competition. In fact, as the great Ludwig von Mises argued in an unanswerable way, the free market replaces the struggle for survival found in the animal world with social cooperation in which everybody benefits. Capitalism is a system of peace, not war. The key point that Mises makes is that human beings benefit from the division of labor and the division of labor means peaceful exchange, not war. As he says in Human Action, “The … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/05/lew-rockwell/ludwig-von-mises-on-peace-and-social-cooperation/

It’s A Complete Lie To Say Gaza Can Have Peace If Hamas Surrenders
Anyone who says Gaza will be at peace if Hamas just surrenders and releases the hostages is either knowingly sowing disinformation or ignorantly sowing misinformation. We need to make sure everyone’s clear on this so nobody can say they didn’t know after history unpacks this one. Netanyahu has made it completely and unambiguously clear that even if Hamas surrendered today and released every single hostage, Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan will still need to be implemented as a precondition for ending the mass slaughter. To be absolutely 100 percent clear, Trump’s plan for Gaza is that “all” Palestinians be removed on a “permanent” basis, never … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/05/no_author/its-a-complete-lie-to-say-gaza-can-have-peace-if-hamas-surrenders/

The Real Israel vs. Hasbara History
Deepest gratitude to our beloved Lew Rockwell, and to my good friend, Dr. Tom DiLorenzo, for inviting me here. I’m thrilled to be with you. My topic is The Real Israel Versus Hasbara History. Hopefully some of you know what Hasbara is. When America’s regime historians reflect on history’s tragedies and travesties, they always praise Pax Americana. That is the idea that American empire, hegemony, brought peace to the world. Conveniently, they leave out the horrors of it. Naturally, regime historians, the ones we are here to counter, speak a lot about Hitler. They hardly ever mention Hiroshima. Likewise, has … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/05/ilana-mercer/the-real-israel-vs-hasbara-history/

A Brief History of the Gold Standard
As evidence mounts that major western economies are heading into a banking and monetary crisis due to contracting credit, we face the consequences of unsound money. The era of fiat is drawing to a close and its death will be painful for the highly indebted advanced economies in North America, Europe, and Japan. History and legal precedent tell us that fiat will die, and only gold can provide an anchor to credit values. As always, there are lessons to be learned from monetary history, particularly in the context of credit-dependent post-feudal economies, when in a post-feudal world gold standards evolved … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/05/alasdair-macleod/a-brief-history-of-the-gold-standard/

European Kakistocracy Locked in a Forever War Against Russia
Never interrupt your enemy when he is committing serial suicide. Never interrupt your enemy when he is committing serial suicide (in reverse American gore-style, when the serial killer always resurrects). In the case of the EU kakistocracy, serial self-destruction is always a given, and always skyrocketing. So the EUrocrats in Brussels have just adopted their 17th round of sanctions against Russia – the sky is the limit – targeting nearly 200 tankers of the so-called Russian shadow fleet. The package, endorsed by EU member states, includes proverbial scores of asset freezes and visa bans. The EU + UK combo is also … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/05/no_author/european-kakistocracy-locked-in-a-forever-war-against-russia/

Biden Adm.:’Criticism of Covid Mandates Is Doctrine of Violent Domestic Extremists’
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, just declassified a 13 December 2021 National Counterterrorism Center memo warning that Domestic Violent Extremists “will threaten to mobilize to violence in opposition to new or expanding COVID-19 related mandates.” The memo is a classic tactic used by incipient totalitarian regimes to associate rationale criticism of state policy with domestic terrorism. In the initial stage of erecting a totalitarian state, such associations are qualified with statements that pay lip service to constitutional protections, as does this particular memo (see page one below). However, if state agencies that promulgate this ideology are not rigorously opposed, they will … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/05/no_author/biden-adm-criticism-of-covid-mandates-is-doctrine-of-violent-domestic-extremists/

Making Palestine Go Away
It has been another exciting week in a world at war where the word “diplomacy” has no meaning and would probably be defined by America’s head of Homeland Security Kristi Noem as a doctrine in which you shoot someone first before he or she can shoot you. In my article last week I discussed the reports that there has been a serious rift between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, exemplified by Trump’s unwillingness to talk to the Israeli leader followed by his failure to visit Israel on his recent Middle East trip. Sources attributed the break to Trump’s … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/05/phil-giraldi/making-palestine-go-away/

Why America Doesn’t Need “Allies”
The title is a bit crude and is deliberately mocking in tone. But it has to be because there is a deeply-entrenched, almost sacred presumption embedded in the nation’s foreign policy catechism that “allies”, “alliances” and “coalitions of the willing” are the be-all-and-end-all of enlightened, necessary and effective foreign policy. American policy-makers and diplomats perforce should therefore never leave these shores for the wider world without them. This dogma perhaps reached its epitome in Secretary of State James Baker’s “coalition of the willing” during the utterly pointless first Gulf War of 1991 and has plagued us ever since. Unfortunately.

Building Coalitions and Overcoming Division
During my life, I’ve been involved with numerous marginalized groups opposed to something horrific being done by the establishment (including many that had nothing to do with medicine). Throughout that, I’ve seen those groups (many of which I deeply believed in) fragment and fracture again and again. As such, I’ve put a lot of thought into why this always happens and became much more selective about confronting these conflicts since it’s rarely productive to engage with them. One of the few things that still gets to me is when I see people I know are remarkably dedicated to a cause … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/05/no_author/building-coalitions-and-overcoming-division/

Cool?
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Jim Comey, former FBI Director wrote on Instagram about the message “86 47” laid out in seashells on the sand that he came across, innocently. You’d have to ask yourself: what was “cool” about that, exactly? Especially if, as Mr. Comey claimed on X soon after, that he didn’t know what it meant. Are things that you don’t understand “cool”? Is it just “cool” to learn that you can spell stuff out with seashells? (Who knew?)

Is Christian Culture Possible?
I am looking at a couple of random lines lifted from a bleak little poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J., written at a sad time near the end of a short and, by his own reckoning, unfulfilled life. He was quite mistaken about that, by the way. His last words, whispered aloud about how happy he was to be going home to God, certainly put that misconception to rest. Nevertheless, the lines he wrote were, without a doubt, an expression of bitter lamentation, advising us that because “The times are nightfall,” we must remain ever vigilant, on high alert in order … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/04/no_author/is-christian-culture-possible/

Best Places To Hide During Martial Law!
The prospect of martial law being implemented seriously within the borders of the United States is terrifying for many, and though it is still statistically unlikely the chances that this will happen are more likely than they have been in six decades and are only increasing.

The Free Market and Catholic Social Teaching
The death of Pope Francis highlights a concern of many Catholics, including myself. Can we believe in the free market consistently with our faith? If we accept the Peronist views of the late pontiff, we obviously cannot do so. But fortunately, there is a better option available to us. Clearly, God wants us to have peace and prosperity, to live in a “free and prosperous commonwealth,” as Ludwig von Mises put it. But the science of praxeology teaches us, by irrefutable logic, that only the free market enables us to avoid economic chaos. It therefore follows that the free market … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/04/lew-rockwell/the-free-market-and-catholic-social-teaching/

Never Forget: Pope Francis on Covid
It was August 18, 2021. I was at a coffee shop in Paso Robles, California. I had kids in college who feared that their institutions might kick them out if they didn’t get one of the experimental mRNA-based Covid “vaccines.” They didn’t need the shots for many reasons, from their healthy age and lack of any co-morbidities to the most important fact of all: our entire family had gotten and fought through Covid and we all had antibodies, easily demonstrated by blood tests we offered to provide from their doctors to the schools. Worse, there were legitimate fears of myocarditis and … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/04/no_author/never-forget-pope-francis-on-covid/

China, Hong Kong and The Art of Blinking
Captain Chaos definitely does not have the cards – which as even South Pacific penguins know, are all made in China. SHANGHAI and HONG KONG – So, predictably, Captain Chaos did blink first. As much as he – and his sprawling media circus – could not possibly admit it. It all started with “tariff exemptions” – from smartphones and computers to auto parts – on products imported from China. Then it veered towards carefully manicured leaks implying tariffs “could” be reduced to a range between 50% and 65%. And finally a terse admission that if there’s no deal, a “tariff number” … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/04/no_author/china-hong-kong-and-the-art-of-blinking/

We Must Teach Children To Love Freedom More Than Government
There is a sentence that has long bothered me. It is treated as a piece of universal wisdom that humans gain with experience, and surely every member of a modern, industrial society has heard it in some form. Whether spoken by a close friend or complete stranger, its utterance usually comes with a sly grin that invites the listener to reconsider a fundamental belief. Here it is: That’s not how the real world works. That dirty, little sentence slithers into conversations meant to turn a person’s perception of reality upside down. We hear it when we question why people who commit the same criminal offenses … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/04/no_author/we-must-teach-children-to-love-freedom-more-than-government/

Are Americans Still Americans?
This question came to mind from reading Edward Curtin’s essays, “At the Lost and Found,” (Clarity Press, 2025), in which he shares with readers his intellectual encounters with the rising criminality of the governments of the United States since the 1960s. Edward Curtin is a decent person with a sense of justice and a moral conscience, traits more common in his time than today. I found his moral responses reassuring, and wonder if recent generations would respond in the same way. Curtin, I suspect, was a member of the old moderate left, which was concerned with fairness and pushing a reform … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/04/paul-craig-roberts/are-americans-still-americans/

Tariffs: Meet Halfway to Freedom?
President Trump is determining equivalent reciprocal tariffs, considering remedies, and estimating fiscal impacts on the national government and information-collection costs to the public. Fast, extensive change, even change that’s initially for the worse, works out best for freedom. Even so, tariff increases have done serious harm and have persisted for decades. It’s worth discussing constitutionality, harms, dynamics, and options. Constitutionality Tariffs unconstitutionally deprive each person of a different proportion of his liberty, as do all revenue sources other than fully flat taxes on labor income. Setting tariffs is archetypal legislative power. Tariffs raise revenue, so they must originate in the … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/04/james-anthony/tariffs-meet-halfway-to-freedom/

Why is Nuclear War Risk Being Dismissed?
At dinner with my mom on Monday, she mentioned that she’d recently watched the new Bob Dylan movie, A Complete Unknown. A bit of the film takes place during the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. She confessed that she, who was born in 1946, had largely forgotten how frightened people were at the time, with many people leaving large cities (potential targets) in a state of panic. Our conversation reminded me of a question I’ve been turning over in my head since 2022—namely, why has the risk of nuclear war apparently been completely dismissed by much of humanity, including our … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/04/no_author/why-is-nuclear-war-risk-being-dismissed/

First They Came for the Op-Ed Writers
On March 25, six masked federal agents seized a Turkish graduate student on the streets of Somerville, Massachusetts. Rumeysa Ozturk—who was wearing a hajib—is a Fulbright scholar working on a doctorate at Tufts University. She was abducted and vanished into the maw of the federal prison system. The Trump administration ignored a federal court order and took Ozturk from Massachusetts to Louisiana federal detention facilities. But the Trump administration knew Ozturk had criticized the government of Israel a year earlier, enough to seal her doom according to the latest iron-fisted political correctness dictates. She co-authored one piece for the Tufts student … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/04/james-bovard/first-they-came-for-the-op-ed-writers/

Trump Moves ‘Nuclear Capable’ Bombers to Within Striking Distance of Iran
A war with Iran would be 10 to 15 times worse than the Iraq War in terms of casualties and costs… And we would lose. We would undoubtedly lose…. Retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson There has been much discussion about the relocation of B-2 bombers to Diego Garcia in anticipation of a potential conflict with Iran… However, the B-2 excels primarily against small, unsophisticated, and impoverished nations equipped with outdated air defense systems. …In short, the B-2 is a sophisticated tool for intimidating weaker adversaries but is largely ineffective against modern Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS). Mike Mihajlovic @MihajlovicMike Recent reports and satellite imagery indicate … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/04/no_author/trump-moves-nuclear-capable-bombers-to-within-striking-distance-of-iran/

A Weird Remedy
Sometimes, when a pendulum swings too far, there’s an urge to replace the weight with a wrecking ball. In some ways, that’s good. Eyesores should be demolished after over-eager architects get out of hand. Insane and Suicidal The Biden border policy was insane to the point of being suicidal. That administration didn’t merely allow illegal aliens, it welcomed them… like a Maître d’ showing diners to their table. From the far reaches of the world, “migrants” were funneled thru the Darien Gap, guided across Central America, escorted up Mexico, and brought into the United States, straining the seams of the social fabric. … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/04/no_author/a-weird-remedy/

The Zionist Destruction of American Higher Education
We may be witnessing the ongoing destruction of one of the greatest pillars of postwar American global influence and hegemony. Late last week an astonishing event occurred in American society, and video clips of that incident quickly went viral across the Internet. A 30-year-old Tufts doctoral student and Fulbright Scholar from Turkey was walking across her Boston-area neighborhood on the way to a holiday dinner at a friend’s house when she was suddenly seized and abducted in the early evening by six masked federal agents of the Department of Homeland Security. The terrified young woman was handcuffed and taken to a waiting … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/04/ron-unz/the-zionist-destruction-of-american-higher-education/

Why You Should Either Come With Me Or Go on Your Own to the Symphony
Loyola University of Chicago used to have a law school professor named George Anastaplo. I learned about him in my late teens through a long piece in The Chicago Tribune Sunday magazine, which was written before most newspaper journalism turned into irredeemable garbage. I think it if fair to say he is someone who the informed readers of these pages should want to know. I wanted to know him better, so I showed up at his office one day. Anastaplo was the brilliant and stubborn son of Greek immigrants. He came of age during World War Two. After serving as … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/03/allan-stevo/why-you-should-either-come-with-me-or-go-on-your-own-to-the-symphony/

Why We Need the Rule of Law
America is faced with serious problems that require immediate action. Illegal immigrants are committing horrible crimes. “Woke” programs are entrenched in our schools, from elementary schools through universities. Judges are abusing their powers in order to block President Trump from cutting the budget and firing federal employees. Some people respond to this dire situation by demanding more power for the president. We must have government by executive order, they say. Is dictatorship such a terrible word? Not if it is for the right cause. This talk is dangerous nonsense and goes against sound Rothbardian doctrine. The modern institution of the … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/03/lew-rockwell/why-we-need-the-rule-of-law/

Ultra-Processed Life
Consuming more of this Ultra-Processed World is not a path to “the good life,” it’s a path to the destruction and derangement of an Ultra-Processed Life. The digital realm, finance, and junk food have something in common: they’re all ultra-processed, synthetic versions of Nature that have been designed to be compellingly addictive, to the detriment of our health and quality of life. In focusing on the digital realm, money (i.e. finance, “growth,” consuming more as the measure of all that is good) and eating more of what tastes good, we now have an Ultra-Processed Life. All three– the digital realm, money in all its manifestations and junk … https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/03/charles-hugh-smith/ultra-processed-life/
