Wendell Barry, philosopher of localism

Posted By on December 30, 2007

If we manage to turn our politics away from globalism toward localism, Wendell Barry will have something to say to us. Dan Simmons has a long piece on Barry in his August 2007 message, http://www.dansimmons.com/news/message.htm.

No evidence linking Bin Laden with 9/11?

Posted By on December 27, 2007

The Muckraker Report is a left-wing blog linked with the Center for Investigative Reporting and the Nation, http://centerforinvestigativereporting.org. We would like readers of the Forum to be aware of two articles from The Muckraker, FBI Says No Hard Evidence Connecting Bin Laden to 9/11, http://www.teamliberty.net/id267.html and Listen Up, Eye Rollers! Part I by Deanna Spingola, http://muckrakerreport.com/id567.html. Spingola’s article offers a brief history of U.S. government propaganda activities in the twentieth century and charges the U.S. government with terrorism against civilian populations and complicity in genocide. These folks seem to studiously avoid mentioning the same policies carried out by left-wing governments, so take their bias into account when evaluating this site. When you manage to overcome the bias of the internationalist Right, avoid being taken in by the lies of the Left. We are interested in Muckraker’s support for Ron Paul as a possible new coalition that could overcome the propaganda and globalist machinations of both parties. Are we dreaming a pipe dream? We want to learn more about Ron Paul and watch this movement take form before offering NWOU’s support. NWOU has a difficult time believing that folks from both the International Left and the International Right can remove their blinkers and cooperate. And yet, that is what NWOU is all about.
