And the terrible thing is that the crowd that fills the street believes that the world will always be the same and that it is their duty to keep that huge machine running, day and night, forever." - Federico Garcia Lorca • Gregory Mannarino, "IMPORTANT UPD... more »

Chipotle Settles for $6.5 Million Over the Meaning of Its “Non-GMO” Claims
The Chipotle fast casual Mexican restaurant chain has enjoyed newfound success in recent months thanks in large part to its commitment to natural, made-from-scratch, non-GMO menu.

While Chipotle serves a menu that is as free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as any other chain of its size, the company’s hard work in this area has earned it what will essentially amount to a hefty f... more »

Let Your Voice Be Heard: Oppose the Politicisation of Society
*In today's guest post, Don Boudreaux riffs on the reality that, contrary to popular assertions, each individual’s voice – and influence – in markets and other non-politicised spheres is much more decisive than it is in politicised spheres, even democratic ones. In short, popular mythology insists that matters are exactly the reverse of what they are in reality. We are told that we have a meaningful voice when we don’t, and that we don’t when we do.* In nearly 40 years of teaching, I’ve learned that students predictably react with hostility if told that none of their individual v... more »

Danger in the Gulf: What the Attack on Saudi Arabian Oil Means for America
*Alireza Ahmadi* *Security, Middle East* [image: Flickr / U.S. Department of Defense] It may be that U.S. military assets in the Persian Gulf region have gone from being an intimidating tool of American coercion to a strategic vulnerability. For hawks like Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, American power, as the Bolshevik adage goes, cannot fail, it can only be failed. For many of his ilk, the superiority of American power means the willingness to project it is the only thing needed to earn the capitulation of foes and the only way America loses is if it chooses to relent.

America Went to Afghanistan to Fight Al Qaeda, Not to Transform a Nation
*Kara Ann Caldwell* *Security, Middle East* [image: Flickr / U.S. Department of Defense] Time spent in the country and troop numbers will never be enough to impose an external military solution to Afghanistan’s internal and idiosyncratic political problems. “Comms blackout” is a phrase you never want to hear while deployed. I didn’t know what it meant until November 13, 2009. That day a soldier in our unit was killed by an improvised explosive device in the Sayed Abad district of Afghanistan’s Wardak province.

The past was another country, indeed . . .
One of the most famous quotations from L. P.

Fisher, published in 1939. General Palmer (brief biography here) was a Civil War officer, later awarded the Medal of Honor for his battlefield courage.

Here was the lead item in this morning's Politico Playbook: *THIS POLITICAL PICKLE* has come up in conversations with several Democratic sources over the last few days: If House Democrats impeach President *DONALD TRUMP* and he loses, they fear they could get blamed for a political hit job. If they don’t impeach him and he wins, they fear being blamed by the Democratic base for not doing enough. *Best-case scenario:* Dems are left hoping they don’t impeach him and Trump loses on his own. What? It's understandable that Democrats might worry about blame if they don't impeach and Trum... more »

French Farmers Destroy Nearly 50,000 Acres of Illegal Genetically Modified Canola Crops
One of the most misunderstood risks of the genetically engineered food experiment is the fact that these lab-created crops are capable of contaminating neighboring organic and non-GMO crops, an issue that has caused millions of dollars in market losses for farmers in the United States. While GMOs are widely cultivated in America, other countries overseas, including the roughly 20 countries that ban GMOs in Europe, avoid them like the plague. And when GMO crops are found to contaminate natural crops nearby, these countries don’t mess around — as evidenced by what happened in ... more »

Credibility Crisis: No One Believes Iran Attacked Saudi Arabia
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was sure of who was responsible for the attack on Saudi oil facilities shortly after the attack. Neocons followed suit, one by one blaming Iran and calling for the war they've been drooling over for years. But not only are Washington's European partners skeptical of the claims - even Gulf allies are not outright blaming Iran. Lies grease the wheels of the war machine and with the latest attack the grease is flowing freely. What will Trump do? Tune in to today's Liberty Report:
