"Peace Blimp" Radio Show Tonight: Interviewing

Tonight we are going to be doing something different than usual. Instead of my typical weekly radio program, I will be hosting during my usual time slot from 7 - 9 pm CST for the Peace Blimp radio marathon, by Trevor Lyman- who brought you the Ron Paul blimp during his 2007-08 campaign (details here):

Thank you for joining us this March 20th for the Peace Blimp Radio Marathon. Together we're marking the 7th anniversary of the Iraq war as the beginning of it's end. A special thanks goes out to all of our guests for their dedication to the cause of ending the U.S. wars of aggression and to those behind the scenes making this event happen.

I'll be interviewing four really cool guests tonight:

7 - 7:30 pm CST - Six-term U.S. Congresswoman and 2008 Green Party Presidential Candidate, Cynthia McKinney.

7:30 - 8 pm CST - Senior Vice President of Campaign for Liberty, Jesse Benton.

8 - 8:30 pm CST - The host of Antiwar Radio for KAOS Radio 95.9 FM in Austin, Texas, KUCR 88.3 FM in Riverside, California and Antiwar.com, where he is also assistant editor, Scott Horton.

8:30 - 9 pm CST - Marketing Director for LOLA and Iraq war veteran, Tracey Harmon.

To listen to any of the other great interviews happening throughout the day or to my segment later tonight, just visit PeaceBlimp.com and the audio will start streaming live. If you want to take the message of peace to the skies, support Peace Blimp by donating here.

Obama keeps pushing the bipartisan religion of interventionism

Michael Scheuer is deadly accurate - foreign interventionism is a bipartisan religion (or disease, whichever you prefer). Too often, I believe, Americans think about Washington’s interventionism only as the actual physical intervention of U.S. military forces abroad in places where no U.S. interest is at risk. That activity certainly is intervention, but President Obama’s despicable decision last week to have his administration leak intelligence claiming that Israel has concluded an agreement with the government of Azerbaijan to allow its use of Azeri airfields for an air strike on Iran is just as much an unwarranted intervention by the United States government. Readers of this blog will know that I carry no brief for Israel, that I believe it is a state that is irrelevant to U.S. national interests, and one whose U.S.-citizen supporters are disloyal to America and involved in activities that compromise U.S. security and corrupt the U.S. political system. That said, Israel — l...

How Thorough a Brainwashing

Saw this on Facebook: Left this comment: It's more thorough of a wash job than that. They don't just believe they are not brainwashed, the question has never occurred to them and as long as they keep reading TIME and watching MTV, it's *impossible* for the question to occur to them. Oh brave new world, that has such people in it. EDIT: And one more thing-- don't ever stop considering what questions it is currently impossible to occur to you . This is what I've been thinking about a lot lately and I'm worried just how large and numerous my own blindspots are. The only solution is to be as intellectually curious as possible. To learn voraciously. To read things that challenge us. To read things that are hard for us to understand and then try to understand them. To expose ourselves to ideas far removed from our present culture and place on the timeline. Read old books. Read foreign books. Turn off the TV. You have already absorbed its biases and blindspots. ...

How To Gain More Twitter Followers

Earlier today, I wrote : "My goal is to write a book before the end of March. My goal is to spend no more than a week from start to publication, spending as much time as I need in order to get it done during that week. My goal is to give it away to you for free here on HumbleLibertarian.com. What's a goal you have? Something you may have been putting off for years? Something you could accomplish in one month if you were determined? If it's near-term enough of a goal, and specific enough of a goal, and you share it in the comments below, feel free to tell me how I can help you and I'll do whatever I can. If it's a libertarian / news / politics-related goal, my manner of help would be easy to determine. I could promote it, introduce you to someone via email, (etc.). If it's something apolitical like quit smoking cigarettes, start exercising, learn guitar, start a business, gain more Twitter followers, learn another language, eat a paleo diet, or...
