Tortured for Testimony: Anarchists Get Solitary Confinement for Not Snitching

Posted by on

“You have to be strong. The only thing you do all day is just not break,” says Katherine “KteeO” Olejnik, on her two month detention in solitary confinement.

In September 2012, KteeO and her colleague, Matthew Duran, were imprisoned and sent to solitary confinement at Seattle Federal Detention Center for refusing to testify in front of a grand jury. They weren’t being tried for any crime, but refused to testify because of their political ideals.

Includes a 7-minute video discussing the principles involved. Please read and comment.

How oppressive are dictates by Presidents and agencies that are not representative of the people’s wishes? Is America actually a free country.

Hazlitt: The Road to Totalitarianism

Posted by on

In spite of the obvious ultimate objective of the masters of Russia to communize and conquer the world, and in spite of the frightful power which such weapons as guided missiles and atomic and hydrogen bombs may put in their hands, the greatest threat to American liberty today comes from within. It is the threat of a growing and spreading totalitarian ideology.

Totalitarianism in its final form is the doctrine that the government, the state, must exercise total control over the individual.

New America?

If America were just beginning to establish itself in today’s world, what should it look like? What should be its goals? What limitations would be placed on its citizens? What form of “government” should it have? Would it choose to have NO government? Would it choose to tax its citizens? Would it be productive? Or would it be slothful? Would it be compassionate in a helpful sense, or compassionate in a harmful sense? What would its schools look like?
