TERMINOLOGICAL FOREWORD It is best to clear up a few conceptual issues before looking at the thought of Walter Karp.   The first question is: What is republican theory?  We have to ask questions like that these days, in this country, because most people have lost the thread and have little idea what the American Revolution … Continue reading “Walter Karp (1934-1989): War Critic and Republican Theorist”

"An end to the era of fear, corruption and blood" declaimed David Jessell, front-man of the BBC’s Europe Direct news magazine on 25th January. Such hyperbole might have lead viewers to think they were going to be treated to a programme about the fall of Mobutu or Pol Pot. Not so. Jessell was referring the … Continue reading “The Sad Tale of Croatian Independence”

Perhaps Madeleine Albright’s abject apology to the presumptive Masters of the Universe at the United Nations for the unfortunate and retrograde comments made by North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms the week before was predictable. You could even argue that it was amusing.

As much as I admire the late Russell Kirk, I do not think that his constant refrain against reason was much help in addressing the … Continue reading “Empire, ‘Overstretch,’ and the Joys of Collapse”

The images were horrific, but what they reveal about the emptiness and ultimately the cruelty of American policy is even worse. Authorities inspecting a container ship in Seattle found human cargo dozens of sick, ill-nourished Chinese, many verging on starvation. And three of them corpses. Authorities have captured illegal immigrants brought in by smugglers before. … Continue reading “COSTS OF IMMIGRATION CONTROL”

We were right. For years, conservatives and some libertarians have been descrying the erosion of American sovereignty and warning about the dangers of global governance.
