Nathan Goodman reviews the new film from Richard Rowley and Jeremy Scahill.

Sheldon Richman: Swartz was a passionate champion of technology’s power to liberate and democratize. He vowed to fight anything which threatened that potential. This offended powerful vested interests.

Desde seu início o estado tem sido comissão executiva da classe dominante econômica e instrumento da força armada pelos donos dos meios de produção, habilitando-os a extrair excedente de trabalho do resto de nós.

Kevin Carson: From its beginnings the state has been an executive committee of the economic ruling class. … I can’t imagine why anyone would expect the state’s gun control policies to display any less of a class character.

Knapp: In Barack Obama’s world, events like the Newtown massacre are a small price to pay for the uncontested ability to do wholesale what Adam Lanza did retail.

In final, unbelievable act, the state dropped its case against Aaron Swartz – but refuses to comment on his death.

Knapp: Shiny badges and expensive offices notwithstanding, ICE is no less a criminal enterprise than Los Zetas or the Gambino family, and its abduction of Andiola’s family no less a crime.

Hultner: The “debate” between CNN host Piers Morgan and talk radio host Alex Jones on Monday may have been entertaining political theatre, but they — and the rest of us — are missing a larger point.

Goodman: Eric Hill foi atacado pela polícia não por ser suspeito de cometer violência agressora, mas por ser suspeito de recusar-se a cometer violência agressora.

Goodman: Eric Hill was attacked by police not because he was suspected of committing aggressive violence, but because he was suspected of refusing to commit aggressive violence.

Los Estados Unidos tienen más violencia armada que otros países occidentales por la misma razón que tenemos una cultura de veneración a la bandera y de “apoyar a las tropas” sin paralelo en el hemisferio occidental.

A Los Zetas en realidad no les interesa dirigir tu vida diaria. Si no te metes con ellos, probablemente no se meterán contigo. Trata de pedirles a “tu” municipalidad, “tu” legislatura nacional o a “tu” amigable burócrata de seguridad en “tu” aeropuerto que te dejen en paz, a ver qué tal te va.

Los Zetas really isn’t very interested in running your life on a day-to-day basis. If you leave them alone, they’ll probably leave you alone. Try getting “your” local city council, “your” national legislature, or “your” friendly Transportation Security Administration affiliated sexual assailant to butt out of your business and see how far you get.

[T]here’s one idea that’s deemed inadmissible in political proceedings: The idea that the size, scope and power of government could ever, in any particular or for any reason, be reduced by so much as an iota.

Es el “juego de la gallina” de Rebelde sin Causa que vuelve a repetirse. Pero esta vez están conduciendo TUS autos.

It’s the “chickie run” from Rebel Without a Cause all over again. But this time they’re driving YOUR cars.

Because in a free society, billionaires like Buffett might have to learn to work for a living.

Anthony Gregory: The U.S. government should not force taxpayers to finance any of this, and so long as it does, Americans ought to be particularly critical.

What is wrong with Wikileaks, again?

Morgenstern: And, like it or not, more and more people are becoming nobodies.
