The False Tax Cut Debate by Rep. Ron Paul, MD Ron Paul in the US House of Representatives, May 6, 2003 The current tax cut debate is more about politics than serious economics. Both sides use demagoguery but don’t propose significant tax cuts. The benefits that could come from the current tax cut proposal unfortunately are quite small and not immediate. Some say tax cuts raise revenues by increasing economic activity, thus providing Congress with even more money to spend. Others say lowering taxes simply lowers revenues and increases deficits. Some say we must target tax cuts to the poor...

Julie Widner was terrified — afraid her husband would do something reckless, even disfigure himself. "We had come so far," she says. "We had left the movement, had created a good family life. We had so much to live for. I just thought there has to be someone out there who will help us." After getting married in 2006, the couple, former pillars of the white power movement (she as a member of the National Alliance, he a founder of the Vinlanders gang of skinheads) had worked hard to put their racist past behind them. They had settled down and...

Republican congressman Ron Paul says the US is aiding and abetting Israel in Gaza through its financial and military support for Tel Aviv. "The weapons being used to kill so many Palestinians are American weapons, and American funds, essentially, are being used for this," said the congressman Friday. Israel launched an all-out war against the Gaza Strip and its democratically-elected ruler, the Hamas movement, to put an end to rocket attacks against southern Israel. At least 821 Palestinians have been killed during the operation and some 3,330 others are reported wounded. At least 10 Israeli troops have been killed during...

If we are to believe the wisdom received by early medieval (southern) European scholars, the northernmost parts of the continent prior and after the fall of the Roman Empire was not only cold, barbaric and uninviting. It also was inferior. Pretty much like people of today not having visited Scandinavia and Finland would describe it. In fact, certain Romans and Arabs did actually pay visits to frozen, godforsaken "Thule". What did they meet with? Although they were not all that impressed with certain aspects of Nordic culture, like eating habits, they understood the Vikings had developed forging, warrior code and...

Scary times ahead? Perhaps, if you take credence in what Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, says. Paul, who had a strong grassroots following during the 2008 presidential election, explained on Glenn Beck's Sept. 30 radio program that perilous times lie ahead due to the Federal Reserve's loose monetary policy. Host Glenn Beck asked if voices on the left, including the left-wing media, were right - would their be violence and is this an effort to pin it on the conservative movement. Beck began by asking how an Israeli strike against Iran might trigger problems with the American financial system. ...more (w/video)...

Pinchads Zlotosvsky*, 32, didn't always live as an Orthodox Jew. In fact, quite the opposite. Zlotosvsky, who continues to live in Warsaw, Poland, with his wife and two children, was a skinhead before discovering his Jewish identity. Zlotosvsky joined up with local Polish skinheads when he was 16 years old as a political statement and adopted the racist and anti-Semitic contempt of his peers. So when he found out he came from a family of "hidden Jews"—his mother was sent to a monastery to survive the Holocaust and all of her relatives were reportedly murdered—he told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz...

Hitler's Birthday Sparks Racial Violence in Russia The time surrounding the anniversary of Adolph Hitler's birth on April 20th is a horrible time for foreigners living in Russia. During this period foreigners in the country refrain from going out, and rush to get home whenever they must leave their houses. Some even stay home from work and keep their children out of school during the period. This is to avoid attacks by extreme rightists racists or skinheads of which there are an estimated 50,000 in the country. As the skinheads have been posting threats everywhere that they will attack all...

I love history. I’m proud of my Southern heritage. But for me to be angry to the point of protesting a moment in Southern history that happened nearly a century-and-a-half ago would be just, well, nonsensical. And would in some ways tarnish that heritage.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. They shaved their heads to support a co-worker with cancer. Now that decision by five white deputies in Syracuse has escalated into a federal race-discrimination dispute. The white deputies at the Onondaga County jail's transport division claim black deputies accused them of being members of a racist skinhead organization. The white employees have complained to their bosses and to the U-S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that the skinhead comments created a hostile work environment. The federal agency said their complaints were unfounded, based on the results of a sheriff's office investigation. But another look at the original investigation...

Two avowed New Jersey racists have been charged with trying to build a fertilizer bomb similar to the device that blew up in Oklahoma City, authorities said yesterday. Gabriel Carafa of Pennsville, N.J., and Craig Orler of Whiting, N.J., allegedly gave a federal informant 60 pounds of a fertilizer component and asked him to build a bomb. "Carafa boasted that this urea was more pure than the stuff that [Timothy] McVeigh used," authorities said in court papers. McVeigh was executed for his role in bombing a federal building in Oklahoma City. Convicted of beating a Hindu store owner in 2002,...

Malakhovka, Russia: A fire roared through a synagogue in a Moscow suburb early Tuesday, burning down much of the wooden structure in an incident that Jewish leaders blamed on anti-Semitism. The synagogue in the town of Malakhovka, 12 miles southeast of Moscow caught fire at about 6 a.m., and the flames quickly engulfed the entire one-story building. Firefighters were unable to prevent damage to the building's interior and roof. Investigators said there was no evidence of arson, but Jewish leaders such as Borukh Gorin, a spokesman for the Federation of Russia's Jewish Organizations, insisted that the synagogue had been set...

The modest brick house, with its yard full of wilting tulips and rusted old cars, isn't a candidate for the pages of Better Homes and Gardens. But on a spring day in 2002, it was just what Nealie Pitts had in mind. She approached the owner, Rufus T. Matthews, and asked the price. According to court documents, Matthews said the house was selling for $83,000 - but that a deed restriction meant only whites were eligible to buy it. "I was hurt and angry, like he had slapped me in the face," Pitts, who is black, said in an e-mail....
