Congratulations to Dr. Karl-Friedrich Israel
Congratulations to Dr. Karl-Friedrich Israel
Congratulations to former Mises Research Fellow Karl-Friedrich Israel for successfully defending his thesis at the University of Angers in France.
Dr. Israel's academic research has largely focused on monetary policy, monetary theory, and the history of macroeconomics.
At AERC in 2016, he presented a fascinating paper on the history of econometrics and how the concept has changed over the years. In it he highlights that the originator of the term, Pawel Ciompa, considered it a way of illustrating accounting, as a opposed to a means of developing economic theory. The paper can be read on the University of Angers website.
Dr. Israel has also written several articles for the Mises Wire, including:
How Much Do Central Banks Cost Us?
Five Reasons for Central Banks: Are They Any Good?
Inflation May Be Causing a Long-Term Rise in Unemployment
Ragnar Frisch: The First Nobel Laureate Chosen over Mises
The "Lucas Critique" Is Misesian at its Core
He has joined Jeff Deist twice on Mises Weekends:
In Washington, the Truth has Refugee Status
"Truth isn't truth," declared Rudy Giuliani, President Trump's personal attorney, on Meet the Press on Sunday. Giuliani's comment — the weirdest absolution yet proffered for Trump — is the "Trump era's epitaph," according to a Washington Post columnist. But truth really is defined differently inside the Beltway.
Trump could face a "perjury trap" from Special Counsel Robert Mueller because of the unique way that the FBI defines reality — and the truth. The FBI rarely records interviews and instead relies on written summaries (known as Form 302s) which "are widely held up in court as credible evidence of conversations," the New York Times noted last year. Though defense attorneys routinely debunk the accuracy and credibility of 302s, prosecutors continue touting FBI interview summaries as the voice of God. Even if Trump made factually correct comments to Mueller, he could still face legal peril if his statements failed to harmonize with FBI "trust me on what I heard" memos containing contrary assertions.
Though other federal agencies cannot play the 302 game, they have plenty of options for editing the public record. Inside the Beltway, "plausible deniability" (a phrase first publicly used by CIA chief Allen Dulles in the 1950s) is "close enough for government work" to truth.
Congress enacted the Freedom of Information Act in 1966 to boost self-government by entitling Americans to learn what Washington did in their name. But FOIA is derided nowadays as a "Freedom From Information Act" that begets merely a mirage of transparency. Last year, individuals who filed FOIA requests "received censored files or nothing in 78 percent" of the time, according to the Associated Press. Federal agencies with the most power — such as the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and the Justice Department — are among the worst FOIA abusers.
Federal agencies also maximize their discretion in defining truth via almost 50 million decisions to classify information each year. And the Justice Department can totally suppress embarrassing facts on the most contentious issues (such as torture or assassinations) by invoking the "state secrets" doctrine. The George W. Bush administration routinely invoked "state secrets" to seek "blanket dismissal of every case challenging the constitutionality of specific, ongoing government programs," according to a study by the Constitution Project. A federal appeals court slammed the Obama administration's use of "state secrets": "According to the government's theory, the judiciary should effectively cordon off all secret government actions from judicial scrutiny, immunizing the CIA and its partners from the demands and the limits of the law." Government's sway over damning information is boundless — at least until some scofflaw like Edward Snowden obliterates federal credibility.

Ron Paul on How Austrian Economics Inspired his Political Career
Today is Ron Paul's 83rd Birthday! Dr. Paul is not only a Distinguished Counselor for the Mises Institute, but a founding member and perhaps the most influential advocate for Austrian economics the world has ever seen.
In 1984, Dr. Paul wrote about the role Austrian economics and Ludwig von Mises played in his deciding to pursue politics, and how it equipped him with the "intellectual ammunition" he needed to stand up to the pressures of Washington, D.C.:
[U]nder the predominance of interventionist ideas, a political career is open only to men who identify themselves with the interests of a pressure group.... Service to the short-run interests of a pressure group is not conducive to the development of those qualities which make a great statesman. Statesmanship is invariably long-run policy; pressure groups do not bother about the long-run. - Ludwig von Mises, Human Action
I decided to run for Congress because of the disaster of wage and price controls imposed by the Nixon administration in 1971. When the stock market responded euphorically to the imposition of these controls and the closing of the gold window, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and many other big business groups gave enthusiastic support, I decided that someone in politics had to condemn the controls, and offer the alternative that could explain the past and give hope for the future: the Austrian economists' defense of the free market. At the time I was convinced, like Ludwig von Mises, that no one could succeed in politics without serving the special interests of some politically powerful pressure group.
Although I was eventually elected, in terms of a conventional political career with real Washington impact, he was absolutely right. I have not developed legislative influence with the leadership of the Congress or the administration. Monies are deliberately deleted from routine water works bills for my district because I do not condone the system, nor vote for any of the appropriations.
My influence, such as it is, comes only by educating others about the rightness of the free market. The majority of the voters in my district have approved, as have those familiar with free-market economics. And voters in other districts, encouraged by my speaking out for freedom and sound money, influence their representatives in the direction of a free market. My influence comes through education, not the usual techniques of a politician. But the more usual politicians in Congress will hardly solve our problems. Americans need a better understanding of Austrian economics. Only then will politicians become more statesmanlike.
My introduction to Austrian economics came when I was studying medicine at Duke University and came across a copy of Hayek's The Road to Serfdom.
After devouring this, I was determined to read whatever I could find on what I thought was this new school of economic thought—especially the work of Mises. Although the works were magnificent, and clarified many issues for me, it was more of a revelation to find intellectuals who could confirm what I "already knew"—that the free market is superior to a centrally planned economy. I did not know how a free market accomplished its work, and so the study of economics showed me this, and how to build a case for it. But, like many people, I did not need to be convinced of the merits of individual freedom—for me that came naturally.
For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be free from government coercion in any form. All my natural instincts toward freedom were inevitably challenged by the established school system, the media, and the government. These systems tried to cast doubt on my conviction that only an unhampered market is consonant with individual liberty. Although reassured that intellectual giants like Mises agreed with a laissez-faire system, I was frustrated by knowing what was right, while watching a disaster developing for our economy. The better I came to understand how the market worked, the more I saw the need to implement these ideas through political action. Political action aimed at change can, of course, take various forms. In 1776, in America, it was a war for independence from British oppression. In 1917, in Russia, violence was used to strengthen oppression.
Fortunately, it is possible to accomplish the proper sort of change through education, persuasion, and the democratic process. Our rights of free speech, assembly, religion, petition, and privacy remain essentially intact. Before our rights are lost, we must work to change the policies of 70 years of government interventionism. And the longer we wait the harder it will be.
Because of my interest in individual liberty and the free market, I became closely associated over the years with friends and students of Mises, those who knew the greatness of Mises from a long-term personal friendship with him. My contact, however, was always through his writings, except on one occasion. In 1971, during a busy day in my medical office, I took a long lunch to drive 60 miles to the University of Houston to hear one of the last formal lectures Mises gave—this one on socialism. Although 90 at the time, he was most impressive, and his presentation inspired me to more study of Austrian economics. My subsequent meetings and friendship with the late Leonard Read and his Foundation for Economic Education also inspired me to work harder for a society unhampered by government intrusion into our personal and economic lives. My knowledge has been encouraged and bolstered through the extraordinary work of the Mises Institute, with its many publications and conferences, and its inspiring work among students choosing academic careers.
My friendships with two important students of Mises, Hans Sennholz and Murray Rothbard, were especially helpful in getting firsthand explanations of how the market functions. They helped me to refine my answers to the continual barrage of statist legislation that dominates the U.S. Congress. Their personal assistance was invaluable to me in my educational and political endeavors.
Such friendships are valuable, but the reassurance that sound thinkers were on my side was inspirational. It gave me the confidence I needed to intellectually defend my political and economic positions on the campaign trail and on the House floor....
Austrian economics has provided me with the intellectual ammunition to support my natural tendency to say "no" to all forms of government intervention. Mises provides an inspiration to stick to principle and to argue quietly and confidently in favor of the superiority of a decentralized, consumer-oriented market, in contrast to a bureaucratic centrally planned economy.
Mises is clear about the responsibility we all have in establishing a free society. He concludes Socialism with this advice: Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hang on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us.
And in Human Action he states:
There is no means by which anyone can evade his personal responsibility. Whoever neglects to examine to the best of his abilities all the problems involved voluntarily surrenders his birthright to a self-appointed elite of supermen. In such vital matters blind reliance upon "experts" and uncritical acceptance of popular catchwords and prejudices is tantamount to the abandonment of self-determination and to yielding to other people's domination. As conditions are today, nothing can be more important to every intelligent man than economics. His own fate and that of his progeny is at stake.
I'm convinced, as was Mises, that the solutions to the crisis we face must be positive (which is just one reason I am so pleased by the establishment of the Ludwig von Mises Institute). He stated in The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality that the "anti-movement" has "no chance whatever to succeed" and that "what alone can prevent the civilized nations of Western Europe, America and Australia from being enslaved by the barbarism of Moscow is open and unrestricted support of laissez-faire capitalism."
Without Austrian economics, I would not have had my political career. The strongest motivating force in my political activities is to live free since I was born free. Liberty is my first goal. The free market is the only result that can be expected from a free society. I do not accept individual freedom because the market is efficient. Even if the free market were less "efficient" than central planning, I would still prefer my personal freedom to coercion. Fortunately, I don't need to make a choice. Austrian economics upholds the market's efficiency, and that reinforces my overwhelming desire and right to be free. If no adequate intellectual explanation existed as to the efficiency of the free market, no political activism of any sort would be possible for any pro-freedom person. Our position would only be a theoretical pipe dream.
I see no conflict however between a utilitarian defense of the market economy and the argument for a free market as a consequence of a moral commitment to natural God-given rights, for there is no conflict.
The economist's approval of the market for purely utilitarian reasons actually becomes a more "objective" analysis if not approached from a natural rights standpoint. But when combined with a natural-rights philosophy, it is even more powerful. No choice must be made. The utilitarian argument does not exclude the belief that life and liberty originates with the Creator. When they are added together they become doubly important.
When one argues for the free market on utilitarian grounds, one starts with particular actions by the individual. In starting with a natural rights argument the "a priori" becomes "the gift of life and liberty" as natural or God-given.
The utilitarians may be neutral or antagonistic regarding the origins of life and liberty, but this in no way weakens their explanation of the technical advantages of a free economic system. However, those who accept a natural rights philosophy have no choice whatsoever but to accept laissez-faire capitalism.
Mises's utilitarian defense of the market opens political careers for those who believe in liberty, courage, and even dares one who truly believes in the system to present it in political terms.
Mises in Human Action says:
The flowering of human society depends on two factors: the intellectual power of outstanding men to conceive sound social and economic theories, and the ability of these or other men to make these ideologies palatable to the majority.Ludwig von Mises certainly provided sound economic and social theories. I hope that my modest success in politics may encourage others to try it, and help prove Mises "wrong," showing that a political career is open to men and women who do not identify themselves with the interests of a pressure group, but with the liberty of all.
Excerpted from Mises and Austrian Economics: A Personal View
50 Years of Leonard Read's 'Coping with Poverty'
An electoral weakness for anyone who advocates more freedom—i.e., smaller government—is that such a position can be easily demagogued as a selfish threat to many voters. Their continued government benefits depend on the continuation of someone else being forced to pay for them, typically "the rich," making any rollback in "coercive charity" almost impossible politically. Yet, ironically, the result of such demagoguery is counterproductive, because more freedom offers the best hope--and the only just one--for those struggling economically.
This political tactic is far from new. But one of the most insightful analyses is nearly as old as the War on Poverty. That is Leonard Read's "Coping With Poverty," currently celebrating its 50th anniversary, which emphasized the frequent failure of those who favor liberty to make clear that it is also the source of the greatest possible benefits to the poor, as well as other market participants, in his 1968 Accent on the Right.
Millions of Americans…[labor] under the misapprehension that the philosophy of individual liberty is little more than an intellectual apology for entrenched wealth, a rationale for persons who have no concern for those below their own dollar stations.
Most of us who stand for liberty…So firmly embedded in our own minds is the fact that liberty is the poor man's best ally that we mistakenly assume a like awareness on the part of everyone else. Failing to identify the free market and related institutions with kindly sentiments and noble objectives--such as a better life for the poor--we fumble the ball, so to speak, allowing the opposition to run with it.
The era of free and willing exchange extends, roughly, over [America's history]. In no other period of history have so many raised themselves out of poverty. Why, then, are those of us who champion free and willing exchange--the only antipoverty device in man's possession--so seldom credited with relieving the poor man of his burden? Quite frankly, it is because such relief is not the major end we have in view. Freedom and wide-open opportunity for all is the prime objective. But--and this is the point--the fastest possible elimination of poverty is one of the inescapable byproducts of this liberty…And this effect cannot be achieved in any other way.
Unfortunately, when we keep an eye on freedom as our prime objective, we tend to omit…relief from poverty as its by-product...authoritarians grapple on to it and assume the role of the poor man's champion, all because we have failed to identify the politically attractive by-product of freedom with freedom itself.
It is as much of a delusion to expect that government can end poverty as to expect that the local policeman can make us rich. Government has nothing at all on hand to dispense except what it has garnisheed from taxpayers--what it forcibly subtracts from private ownership…the opposite of capital formation on which productivity rests and on which relief from poverty depends. It is all political give-away--redistribution--
with absolutely nothing formative, productive, or creative about it.
But regardless of how faulty their theories, the political authoritarians proclaim themselves the champions of the poor. They have fastened onto the poverty banner and placed themselves in the vanguard of "the down-trodden." They have gained a considerable following because many people wish to believe in these easy promises and the champions of freedom [have failed] to make their own case.
The popular view [is] that free market practices generally favor those of affluence and generally neglect the interests of the poor…wholly superficial, and false.
When champions of the free market recognize and correct this erroneous concept, they will have found the key to explain how freedom best serves the interests of all--especially the poor. Not until that is done may the poor be expected to look to liberty for their material well-being.
Here is the overlooked fact: The unprecedented practice of freedom in our country has…catapulted many millions of "the masses"--including you and me--into a state of affluence previously unknown to history.
The reason that the free market, private ownership, limited government philosophy is popularly regarded as an apology for affluence rather than as a boon for the poor is that its practice has made possible such affluence. If we note only the accomplishment, as if it were automatically due us, we lose all sight of its genesis: liberty!
The alleviation of poverty is a by-product--a lifesaving benefit--along man's way toward the higher ideal of liberty. The benefit springs from no other source than liberty.
Restore and preserve the practice of free market, private ownership, limited government principles; and one of the by-products will be as much removal of poverty as possible.
Doubtless, we have been negligent about accenting this important dividend of liberty: it is a boon to the poor. However, if we set the alleviation of poverty as our highest goal we shall, by thus lowering our sights, not only spread poverty but lose our freedom.
Leonard Read recognized that economic liberty gives every member of society the best possible incentives to indirectly benefit themselves by developing and applying whatever resources and skills they possess—great or small—in a manner most beneficial to others. In short, the pursuit of liberty is the most effective means of helping the poor economically, because it is the most effective means of helping everyone in society economically. But that was not his primary concern. He was most concerned with how coercive government redistribution undermined recipients' growth as self-responsible, creative and productive individuals. But the pursuit of freedom is the most effective means of achieving that, as well.
What the Burgeoning Trade War Really Means for Entrepreneurs
President Donald Trump followed his announcement of steel and aluminum tariffs with a declaration that "trade wars are good, and easy to win" -- a stance economists and members of his own political party immediately challenged. Not long after the U.S. announced its tariffs, international trading partners threatened retaliatory fees against American goods such as bourbon, blue jeans and Harley-Davidson.
As governments clash in big battles, small businesses are left to worry about how they might be affected by a trade war. The White House claims it's acting in the interest of American businesses and is willing to put tariffs on more than $500 billion of imported goods (per CNBC), but not all American companies benefit from nationalistic policies. The Washington Post reports that farmers, for example, will receive $12 billion in federal aid to offset any negative effects of this trade war.
Many companies will need to pass costs on to consumers, as reported by The New York Times. These increases might seem small at first, but small price hikes across the board will leave consumers' wallets thinner from every purchase. This will be particularly problematic for individuals who cannot afford to buy American-made products and instead purchase cheap goods from China, the Atlantic reports.
For entrepreneurs, trade wars create an uncertain and often problematic situation. Which endeavors will succeed, and which will feel the tariff squeeze? How can small business owners protect their livelihood? Thankfully, entrepreneurs don't have to wait to find out. Through proactive management, entrepreneurs can persevere in an economically volatile climate

60 Years of 'Government - An Ideal Concept'
In 1958, Foundation for Economic Education guiding light, Leonard Read, presented a series of lectures in Argentina against the backdrop of an economy decimated by mis-government which shares a great deal with the same country six decades later. The lectures became a small book-- Why Not Try Freedom?—an excellent encapsulation of Read's thought.
Particularly interesting is his first chapter, "Government—An Ideal Concept," because in a world where "each man must actually live his own answer to the challenges posed by his existence," knowing the appropriate ideal for government is an indispensable guide to growth and social cooperation. Sixty years later, that deserves revisiting, as the ideal is almost unrecognizably distant from current reality.
The problems of man, society, and government are approached most constructively…within a moral and spiritual frame of reference.
Man's purpose is…to come as close as he can to the realization of those creative potentialities peculiar to his own person.
Any behavior, personal or collective, which tends to retard man in his pursuit of the ideal life is, in my judgment, ipso facto bad, evil or immoral. Any behavior, personal or collective, which tends to promote or complement this objective is, in my judgment, ipso facto good, virtuous or moral.
Any person has a moral right to inhibit the destructive action of another or others. However, no person has a moral right to forcibly direct or to control what another shall invent, create, or discover; no right to dictate where he shall labor, how long he shall work, what his wage shall be, what and with whom he shall exchange, or what thoughts he shall entertain. No single person has any such moral right. No combination of persons has any such moral right. No agency, political or otherwise, has any such moral right.
There are no moral sanctions for government to intervene in any manner whatsoever with productive or creative actions. The moral sanction for establishing government springs from the right of the individual to inhibit or prohibit or restrain the destructive actions of others.
It is necessary to know why government should exist--what it is for--in order to gain an awareness of what it is not for. We must know government and its purpose…to limit it to its purpose.
An ideal theory of government and liberty is to be derived from the necessity for the free, uninhibited flow of all creative human energy .
We are all dissimilar. However, we have …one common necessity if we are to live and progress. It is that prohibitions against, or restrictions upon, the release and exchange of our creative energies be at the lowest minimum possible…this removal of inhibitory influences--the kind imposed by man on men--serves to benefit all of us in common.
Each individual in his own upgrading…builds only upon free will and volition.
Inhibitory influences are fraud, violence, misrepresentation, and predatory practices. All are immoral, be they done legally or illegally. The problem here is to remove inhibitory actions. This can be accomplished by restraining aggressive force.
No individual has the moral right to use aggressive force against any other individual. He has the moral right to use only defensive or repellent force.
If a person has a right to life…he has a right to protect and to sustain that life, the sustenance of life being nothing more nor less than the fruits of one's labor—one's honestly acquired property…the rights to the fruits of one's own labor involves the restraint or the removal of obstacles to…one's own exchange, but also the obstacles to other people's exchange.
If one has a right to life and livelihood, every other person has a similar right… the requirement that life and livelihood be protected are coterminous with society .
The source of all creative and variable human energy…rests in…the individual, in such voluntary and cooperative actions as he may freely choose to take. This is the province of the individual and not of society. This is the vast, unlimited area of liberty, of self-reliance, and of self-discipline.
If the purpose of man on earth is self-realization…it follows that the law, the book of rules and prohibitions for social administration, can logically serve only the purpose of deterring man's destructive actions for the sake of giving full flower to his creative actions…no just object beyond removing social obstacles to the release of the human spirit. An organized arm of society, within its proper bounds, can be but the handmaiden of liberty; government, within its proper bounds, can be but the protective servant of all individuals equally against antisocial marauders.
Cooperation for creative purposes must be left to voluntary action. Men can cooperate to use force, but they cannot be forced to cooperate…However, cooperation for creative purposes requires, as an auxiliary, cooperation to annul destructive purposes. Cooperation for creative purposes requires that inhibitory influences against creative action be neutralized.
Society's political apparatus…[is] to inhibit, repel, restrain, penalize. [Members] can do everything else better outside the apparatus than in it. What should be inhibited, restrained, penalized? Those actions of man which are characterized by aggressive force, namely, those actions which themselves inhibit, restrain, destroy, or penalize creative effort. Defensive force may be used to neutralize aggressive force, and such a use of forces serves a social end. This use of defensive force should be the guiding principle of the political agency.
Cooperation is required among members of society to perform the negative function of prohibiting obstacles to production, communication, and exchange… limited to those actions which have a common benefit to creative effort. Ideally, the only dissenters would be those who want to live by predation.
Any logical and just organization by society derives its existence from…the common need for every man to protect himself against those who would limit his creative opportunities. Every human being is born with as much right to live his life creatively as any other man. Man, however, is incapable of protecting his life as a personal, individual project, and at the same time of realizing his human potential…By reason of this social circumstance, he is committed, in principle, to cooperating with his fellow men in the protective project…that should make no distinction whatever as to persons…where all ought to be regarded as equal… where special privilege should be unknown.
In short, the law's limitation inheres in its justification. Force is a dangerous thing. Therefore, society's organized arm is a dangerous instrument. It is not, as some assert, a necessary evil. When limited to its proper defensive scope, it is a positive good. When exceeding its proper limitations and becoming aggression, it is not a "necessary" but a positive evil.
Aggressive force…is always evil. There are no exceptions. No man has any moral right to use aggressive force against any other man. Nor have any number of men, in or out of societal organizations, any moral right to use it.
One of the most distressing fallacies having to do with government and liberty is the assumption that the State, an agency presumably of the people, has rights beyond those possessed by the people…no reasonable person can logically believe that any such control belongs to a multitude of citizens…It has no derivation. It is an arrogation.
Any person has the natural and moral right to use repellent or defensive force against any other person who would aggress against him. No person on this earth has any moral right of control over any other person superior to the defense of his own life and livelihood.
Every living human being…has a vested interest in the creative emergence of every other human being…in the free, uninhibited flowing and exchange of the energies thus released; the true interests of all, therefore, are in harmony…every individual has a vested interest in common with all other men in restraining all inhibitory influences to creative energy and creative energy exchanges. All else is individual, voluntary, and cooperative as individuals may choose; for all else is creative.
Leonard Read provides a valuable touchstone—the universal liberty to grow or emerge--to understand what should ideally characterize a government of self-owning individuals. That, in turn, reveals a sharp contrast with "What Is and What Should Never Be," (apologies to Led Zeppelin) about government and its impositions in our lives. We have, in many ways, moved farther from the ideal in the 60 years since Read articulated it. But he continues to offer us the wisdom necessary to retrace our mis-steps and reopen "the vast, indeed, the infinite, area of emergence" that is possible to us. And we have a lot to gain if each of us would convert our "massive potential for growth," as Bill Murray put it in Stripes, into reality.
Forget Security Clearance, John Brennan Should Be Prosecuted
In the year 2018, it is not remotely shocking to see media attention shift seamlessly from reality show villains to former CIA directors. The Trump Administration's announcement that it has revoked the security clearance for John Brennan, America's former Communist-sympathetic spymaster, naturally resulted in a race to see who among the professional political class could be most dramatic in their condemnation.
Many, including Brennan himself, bizarrely argued that the Trump Administration's action was a "1st Amendment violation." As Jim Bovard quipped on Twitter, "Can someone show me the asterisk in the First Amendment that says that former govt. officials have a divine right to confidential inside govt. info in perpetuity?"
Most entertaining was the response from ex-VP and amateur masseuse Joe Biden, who tweeted:
In Washington, you can always identify how dependable an ally is by the size of the lies they are willing to tell in your defense.
After all, Brennan's tenure at the CIA was rampant with dishonesty, unaccountability, and hypocrisy – and that's before looking at Brennan's long record of support for war crimes.
It was Brennan's CIA, after all, that was found guilty of spying on Senate computer servers and threatened to prosecute Intelligence community staffers investigating CIA interrogation practices. He then lied about it repeatedly until investigation into the matter made doing so indefensible.
The conduct of Brennan's CIA wasn't limited simply to the Senate. Though in his current capacity as an MSNBC contributor, Brennan is now a passionate defender of the 1st Amendment and free press, his agency also hacked and spied on American journalists reporting on CIA torture.
As the McClatchy reported at the time:
The CIA got hold of the legally protected email and other unspecified communications between whistleblower officials and lawmakers this spring, people familiar with the matter told McClatchy. It's unclear how the agency obtained the material.
Of course it is understandable that Brennan was so interested in keeping CIA torture practices as hidden as possible, particularly since he himself was an advocate for them. These included waterbordering, rectal feeding, beatings, and other sometimes fatal practices. Additionally the CIA's conduct during this period was without any sort of accountability, keeping other government agencies and even the White House in the dark. Inevitably many innocent people became ensnared by the actions of America's rogue spy agency.
Naturally the media and the anti-Trump left would now treat a defender of these practices as a moral defender of American democracy.
If Trump really wanted to act on the Deep State, he wouldn't settle for simply revoking John Brennan's security clearances. He should move to strip his pension and have him prosecuted for his past actions. While it's fair to question whether the current legal system would actually allow anything to happen to Brennan, doing so would force renewed focus on his past actions and help highlight the dangers of leaving the CIA unchecked. Trump is a fan of spectacles, let this one play out for the nation to see.
Then he should do the same for James Clapper.
Bake the Cake: The State of Colorado Is Still Persecuting Baker Jack Phillips
The Colorado Civil Rights Commission is at it again. It's going after Masterpiece Cake Shop owner Jack Phillips for refusing to "make a cake with a pink inside and a blue outside, celebrating a gender transition from male to female."
This comes only months after the US Supreme Court ruled against the Commission's regulatory attack on Phillips for not baking a cake for a gay wedding.
Although the Supreme Court ruled in Favor of Phillips, it nevertheless took a very narrow view.
Instead of criticizing the very existence of laws that trample on property rights by mandating that people be forced — under threat of state violence — to provide services for certain privileged groups, the Court only took issue with the reasoning employed by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission when it ruled against Phillips.
When the ruling came down, I commented on the specifics of the Court's narrow ruling:
The US Supreme Court today ruled 7-2 in favor of a Denver small business owner who has been threatened, sanctioned, and ultimately driven out of business by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. The controversy arose when the cake shop owner, Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cakeshop, refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding, claiming to be motivated by religious beliefs.
The cake shop was hauled up before the Colorado Civil Rights Commission where the commission ruled that the shop must "change its company policies, provide 'comprehensive staff training' regarding public accommodations discrimination, and provide quarterly reports for the next two years regarding steps it has taken to come into compliance and whether it has turned away any prospective customers."
Justices Kennedy, Roberts, Alito, Breyer, Kagan, Gorsuch and Thomas all voted to overturn the earlier appeals court's decision to uphold the Commission's ruling against Phillips. Only Ginsburg and Sotomayor dissented.
In the decision , authored by Justice Kennedy, much of the reasoning centered on the fact that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had demonstrated an apparently obvious bias against religious people, even though "neutrality" is legally required in such cases. The ruling states:
As the record shows, some of the commissioners at the Commission's formal, public hearings endorsed the view that religious beliefs cannot legitimately be carried into the public sphere or commercial domain, disparaged Phillips' faith as despicable and characterized it as merely rhetorical, and compared his invocation of his sincerely held religious beliefs to defenses of slavery and the Holocaust.
The SCOTUS ruling also noted that both the Commission and the appeals court largely ignored and glossed over the fact that the Commission had on three prior occasions ruled in favor of bakers who had refused to bake cakes with anti-gay slogans on them. There was an enormous double standard at work.
As Kagan notes in her concurring opinion, the Civil Rights Commission was abandoning neutrality in favor of making decisions "based on the government's own assessment of offensiveness."
In other words, the Commission was deciding, based on the members' own personal prejudices and biases, who shall be forced to bake cakes, and who shall not.
With this ruling, the court took a small step in the right direction by taking exception to the Commission's claim that freedom of religion doesn't exist. As noted by Justice Kennedy, the Commission essentially dismissed the very idea that religious conviction could be a valid reason to claim an exemption from the Commissions rules and regulations.
The Court came back and slapped down this reasoning, but it left the Commission plenty of leeway to rule against Phillips using different reasoning.
Thus, as long as the Commission can manufacture a different rationale for ruining Phillip's business, it is free to do, as far as the US Supreme Court is concerned.
The court's limited approach here illustrates the problem with the Court's strategy on the matter of anti-discrimination law has always been problematic.
By limiting Philipp's free use of his property only to cases in which he can prove some sort of religious conviction, the Court — and the law in general — relies essentially on mind reading in determining whether or not Phillips should be allowed to use his property as he sees fit:
This has led to a number of absurd legal and legislative acrobatics in which property owners must prove that their business decisions are motivated by artistic choices or religious conviction, but not by some other motivating factor. Thus, government commissions and courts are required to read the minds of business owners and determine whether or not their internal feelings and religious views fall under some government-approved motivation for refusing some sort of business service.
Proving or disproving internal motivations, of course, has always been an extremely sketchy way of doing things. After all, the Colorado Civil Rights Commission concluded that Phillips was using his religious views to justify unlawful discrimination. This, of course, requires that the commission members somehow have certain knowledge about the thoughts in Phillips's head.
This sort of reasoning also has the habit of working against business owners who hold views that are held only by small minority or otherwise might be considered especially idiosyncratic. One might argue that one is religiously opposed to providing some sort of service. But unless those views are recognizable to judges and bureaucrats as part of a known religious movement, the business owner is likely to be accused of simply making up an ad hoc religion to "mask" unlawful discrimination.
Ultimately, this sort of subjectivity invites just the sort of corruption and bigotry we see on the Colorado Civil Rights Commission.
There's a far less complicated way of protecting rights in these cases, however, we should stop talking about "freedom of religion," and focus on ordinary property rights instead. In practice, freedom of religion can only be truly protected by protecting property rights overall. After all, all rights — including freedom of speech and freedom of religion — depend on the ability to exercise control of one's own body and property.
As Murray Rothbard has demonstrated, rights to religious expression and speech are simply types of property rights. Consequently, religious liberty and free speech can be protected with a more general respect for property rights. By saying that Phillips ought to be forced to bake a cake, the Commission is asserting that Philipps does not enjoy ownership over his own body, or the shop and tools he acquired by using his body to perform labor.
Having refused to acknowledge these property rights, though, the Supreme Court has empowered the Colorado Civil Rights Commission to continue its war against small-time bakery owners who are no threat to anyone and impose their views on no one. The Commission already knows how it's going to rule. Its hostility to Phillips is apparent, and there's not reason to believe the Commission will stop until it has succeeded in ruining him. The challenge the Commission faces, however, is in reverse engineering a ruling that can survive a legal challenge. I'm sure that with the help of a sufficient number of taxpayer-funded lawyers, the commission can succeed in this endeavor.
Congress Has Become Very Good at Spending Money
This week President Trump signed the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act, increasing America's war budget to a whopping $717 billion. For comparison, this is roughly equal to the next 11 highest military budgets combined.
In fact, the $107 billion increase from last year alone is roughly equal to the total military spending of Russia and Germany together.
Congress isn't done spending taxpayer money yet though. Next up is a spending bill that will fund the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Defense, because the Pentagon apparently can't get by with a humble $717 billion. This will be the third "minibus" to pass Congress in 2018, the result of which has been the US running its highest deficits in years.
Of course reckless Federal spending isn't anything new. What is particularly noteworthy about Congress's recently behavior is that it has now become extremely efficient at passing these spending bills.
Congressional budgets are broken up into 12 different bills. When this next package clears the Senate – as expected – it will have passed 9 of the 12. As Axios notes, the Senate "has already passed the majority of spending bills by early August for the first time since 2000." Should Congress continue on this pace and complete all 12 budgets by October, it will be the first time this has occurred since 1996.
None of this is surprising. As Ryan McMaken noted prior to the 2016 election, no one spends money more liberally than a Republican-controlled Federal government. Ideas like fiscal responsibility (and political decentralization) makes for great rhetoric in a political minority, but are extremely inconvenient when in a position of political power.
What makes this all the worse is that the GOP's fiscal irresponsibility will inevitably result in blow back for some of its better policy victories, such as last year's tax cuts.
Already progressive outlets are trying to peg last year's reforms as the reason for historically high deficits, even though tax cuts have (unfortunately) increased government revenue. As such, when the Democrats next find themselves in political power, we can count on a push for tax increases to address America's fiscal ills – likely while advocating for a new list of new government programs.
This cycle will continue to play out until the power to spend is taken away from Washington. The question is whether it will be due to a debt and monetary crisis, or pro-active restraints placed on it from the states.

Martin Hans Munzer
Born: September 25, 1893
Seesen, Germany
Hans was born to Jewish parents in a town in northwestern Germany. The family moved to Berlin when Hans' father obtained a post there as a history teacher in a secondary school. After graduating from university, Hans married and settled with his wife Margaret in an apartment in Berlin. In 1920 their child Wolfgang was born. Hans worked as foreign representative for a sewing notions company.
1933-39: When the Nazis won the election a few weeks ago, I was afraid for people like me who are active members of the socialist party. I was right. Someone has just slipped a note under our door with a warning: The Nazis are rounding up socialists, and, as the local district supervisor for the Social Democratic Party, I'm on their list. We're going to leave in a hurry and try to sublet a room under an assumed name in another neighborhood.
1940-44: It's been almost 10 years since I fled Germany. My second wife, Lucie, and I used to live in Paris but when I had a falling out with my business partner, we decided to move here to Nice. The city is a kind of haven for Jews in France because the Italians, who have occupied this area, leave us alone. Lucie and I run a lending library. Sometimes we think about going to Spain and from there to the United States, but we still feel safe here in France.
In September 1943 German troops occupied Nice. Six months later, Hans and Lucie were deported via Drancy, outside Paris, to Auschwitz where they were gassed on arrival.

1 climber dead in Mount Hood fall, six others rescued
Newest story: Climber dies after falling on Mount Hood: 'He started cartwheeling'
GOVERNMENT CAMP -- A climber died after falling from a ridge on Oregon's tallest peak Tuesday, and at least one other was injured, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office.
Crews were able to rescue six others who were stranded on the steep slopes of Mount Hood.
Dozens of rescuers were called into action to rescue a total of seven climbers just before 10:30 a.m. The climbers were stranded in the Hogsback area of the mountain.
Clackamas County Sgt. Brian Jensen said two groups made up the seven climbers.
A snowcat brought three climbers to Timberline Lodge. They were uninjured. Rescuers also brought two men down, one of whom had received cuts and bruises. The other man was uninjured, but both men were tired and upset.
A woman was with those two men. Jensen said she was unable to physically move. Rescuers had to put her on a sled and move her down the mountain at about 600 feet at a time. Rescuers got her down the mountain, but her condition wasn't immediately clear.
The climber who died fell several hundred to 1,000 feet and was helped by fellow climbers in his group who administered CPR while they waited for rescue.
RELATED: Crews face 'treacherous conditions' on Mt. Hood to rescue remaining climbers
The climber was air-lifted in an Oregon National Guard Blackhawk helicopter to Legacy Emanuel Hospital around 1:30 p.m. He was pronounced dead shortly after.
"It's treacherous. There's a lot of fallen rock and ice, which is normal when you have freezing overnight and it gets so warm during the day," said Jensen.
The sun has been out this week and the temperature was around freezing at the spot where the climber fell, Russell Gubele of Mountain Wave Search and Rescue said.
"This is the kind of weather conditions and the time of year where you often get falling ice, falling rocks and problems," Gubele said. "It sounds like the conditions up there are very unsafe right now."
Overnight temperatures are below freezing, however, warm daytime conditions cause snow and ice to melt, leading to falling debris.
"The conditions are great for climbing early in the early morning," said Air Force Major Chris Bernard with the 304th Rescue Squadron. "They typically plan their climbs and get off the mountain before it becomes treacherous."

KATU News talked with Wyatt Peck, a climber who was on the mountain at the same time as the injured groups. He said that there have been poor climbing conditions throughout the season.
"You gotta know when to turn back, no matter what climbing experience you have," Peck said.
The Naval Station Whidbey Island is sending a helicopter to assist in the rescue, by guiding climbers. There are approximately 40 rescuers on the scene from several agencies, including Portland Mountain Rescue, Mountain Wave, a 14-person Air Force Squad, AMR, and Crag Rats SAR.
Officials said they plan to release the name of the deceased climber once family members have been notified of their death.

I'm still reading "The Magic Apple Tree" and liking it very much. Oh, and I almost forgot about "The Cottage at Bantry Bay" (which I stumbled across on Pinterest {someone please save me}), and also, the new Vogue Knitting and Selina Lake's new book, "Home-Spun Style", just came in the mail -- haven't had a chance to peek inside yet, but they look good.

That tunic is absolutely gorgeous!!! Can't wait to see it seamed--and modeled! And pretty patterning on the socks--I haven't done that pattern, but do love the book!
Thanks for the Homespun Style book suggestion. Looks like my kind of book. I have the MaryJane book, and while I like the styling of the book--I don't remember being particularly inspired by anything. Maybe I need to drag it out and give it another look!
Have a great yarn along day!

Al-Qaida Chief's Message Spurred Embassy Closures
Two officials say a secret message that was intercepted between al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri and his deputy in Yemen led to the shutdown of U.S. embassies.
A U.S. intelligence official and a Mideast diplomat said al-Zawahri's message was picked up several weeks ago and appeared to initially target Yemeni interests.
The intelligence official said the message was sent to Nasir al Wuhayshi, the head of the terror network's organization, based in Yemen, that is known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.
Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive issue publicly.

It's when a cyclists gets the hunger that they think of things like toaster tacos (and when your spouse isn't around to comment on your culinary genius). Burning off calories, means you can eat more, and in fun ways. Note the toaster heats tacos up very well, just pop them up when they start to sizzle.
I've ridden with cyclists that'd eat almost anything, including nacho-cheese dogs during a stop on a long ride. Others are finicky and stick to waffles and Nutella.
What's your ride food before and after?
Serious Eats picked up our Toaster Tacos in a post and is considering it a kitchen hack.

Games donated to Boys & Girls Club
Scottie Parks, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of Henderson County, has experience speaking the language of youth. Recently, Parks and a few young members got right down to the business of play when they unpacked more than a dozen games that were donated by Adawehi Institute and Wellness Center of Columbus in Polk County.
"Play is an important part of the vocabulary of healthy children," said Parks, "and what they want most of all is for grown-ups to stop what they are doing, meet them where they are, and play with them."
Last year, the club served 1,553 young people, ages 6-18. Ninety percent of the members qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.

Students learn world of 3D printing from former graduate
Students in the engineering program at Brevard High are learning more about the emerging world of 3D printing from a former BHS graduate.
Brevard High School graduate Ansel Slagle recently visited his former drafting teacher Angela Patane. Ansel graduated from Brevard High School in 2001 and went on to graduate from N.C. State University with a bachelor's degree of Science in Technology Education with a concentration and minor in Graphic Communication in 2005.
He is currently the project manager for Supply Chain at Stratasys LTD. The company manufactures 3D printers and materials that create prototypes and manufactured goods directly from 3D CAD files or other 3D content.
Ansel's presentation to the BHS Drafting classes included information about the science and technology behind 3D printing and how Stratasys printers operate. He praised several high school courses and how they helped him achieve his success.
Students in the engineering program are excited about the upcoming arrival of a new desktop-size 3D printer for their classroom. Students already use industry level design software to create three-dimensional models of many different mechanical and industrial applications. Now they will be able to render rapid prototypes of their design using their new printer.

Ramp Team takes top honors
The Housing Assistance Corp. Ramp Team took top honors at Volunteer Hendersonville's annual recognition event on April 23.
Drive around any area of Henderson County and if you see a wheelchair ramp at someone's home, chances are it was built by Housing Assistance Corp.'s Ramp Team. In 22 years, the team has completed more than 300 home repair projects, most of them ramps with the goal of enabling people to remain independent in their own homes.
In 1991, Ernie Wilson saw an ad in the paper asking for volunteers to help with home repairs. He joined Clarence Sleeman and Ed Fickley with Housing Assistance Corp.'s "Fix It Up" home repair group. In the late 90s, the group concentrated solely on outside work to the homes, and ultimately became proficient in ramp building.
They also occasionally build decks and railings to help Self-Help homeowners who are earning sweat equity building their own homes.
The Ramp Team's current lineup is a group of eight men who volunteer twice a month to build assisted living inclines for those who don't have the resources to do it for themselves. Current members are Ernie Wilson, Sam Wilson, Jim Donecho, Jim Stein, Steve Walden, Tom Osterhoff, Tony O'Malley and Tim Yocum.
Housing Assistance Corp. is celebrating its 25th year of business. A community celebration, "Party Like It's 1988," will be held May 16. The public is welcome. To RSVP for the event, for more information about health and safety repairs available, or to contribute or volunteer, call Housing Assistance Corp. at 828-692-4744.

Atapco Properties Inc., owner of Antrim Commons Business Park, announced Tuesday that it has signed an agreement with Armada Supply Chain Solutions.
GREENCASTLE — Atapco Properties Inc., the Baltimore-based owner of Antrim Commons Business Park, announced Tuesday that it has signed a lease agreement for 400,000 square feet with Armada Supply Chain Solutions, a Pittsburgh-based company with facilities currently located on Sheffler Drive in Chambersburg.
The lease for the new Armada site will double the size of its current facilities in Chambersburg. The site will be rail-served and is located next to Norfolk Southern's new freight hub in Antrim Township.
Armada, a supply chain management company for the food and restaurant industries, expects the new facility to be fully operational "in late 2013," according to statements released Tuesday.
"We are pleased to expand our operations in the Northeast ... and we look forward to being a part of the revitalization of the area," said John Burke, CEO Armada.
The lease is the second deal Atapco has brokered this year for the Antrim Commons Business Park, located near U.S. 11 at Exit 3 of Interstate 81. Sheetz Inc. signed an agreement with Atapco earlier in 2012 to build a new convenience store at the business park.
The business park as a whole will contain more than 4 million square feet of space and is expected to accommodate as many as 2,000 new jobs when fully developed.
Economic development
Tuesday's announcement by Atapco is the latest news of planned economic development in Antrim Township, following measures by local municipal governments to spur such growth in the Greencastle area.
Antrim Township, the Greencastle-Antrim School Board and the Borough of Greencastle recently passed a Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance program in their respective jurisdictions.
The program offers a 10-year schedule of tax abatements on the cost of property improvements or new property construction in designated LERTA zones. Both the township supervisors and the school board designated Antrim Commons Business Park as a LERTA zone.
Matrix Development Group, a real estate group based in Cranbury, N.J., announced last week that it renewed a lease with World Kitchen for its facility on U.S. 11, with a planned upgrade to the building totaling more than $10 million.
Jobs and growth
Atapco mentioned U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, Pennsylvania, state Sen. Rich Alloway, the Antrim Township supervisor and the Franklin County Area Development Corp. as entities that offered "unwavering support of this project through a difficult economic period."
Shuster, a Republican who represents Franklin County as part of Pennsylvania's 9th District, said that Franklin County's "strong infrastructure system is critical to attracting investment and good-paying jobs to our region."
Shuster recently was named chair of the House Transportation Committee.
Alloway, a Republican who represents Franklin County in Harrisburg as part of the state's 33rd District, called Armada's decision to locate in the Antrim Commons Business Park "significant" and said it will "spur further development."

Defeat for Scolari on return as Brazil coach
Luiz Felipe Scolari and Ronaldinho endured disappointing returns
to international football as Brazil lost 2-1 to England, while
Spain, Germany and Argentina all won high-profile friendlies on
Wednesday to justify their position as the world's top three
World and European champion Spain stretched its unbeaten run to
17 games by beating Uruguay 3-1 in Doha, Germany came from behind
to beat France 2-1 away and Lionel Messi failed to score but played
a key role in Argentina's 3-2 win over Sweden.
Scolari, who led Brazil to its fifth and most recent world title
in 2002, took charge of his first game in his second spell as coach
and handed Ronaldinho a recall to the team for his 100th cap.
The former Barcelona playmaker, who hadn't played for Brazil for
a year, had an early penalty saved at Wembley Stadium before Wayne
Rooney and Frank Lampard scored goals to help England end a 23-year
winless record against the Brazilians.
"I'm used to losing the first game but after this I'm used to
winning games and winning competitions," Scolari said. "I'm not
disappointed and I'm not sad."
Also, Marco Verratti scored a stoppage-time equalizer for Italy
in a 1-1 draw at the Netherlands and Cristiano Ronaldo scored in a
losing cause for Portugal, which was beaten 3-2 at home to
Spain and France were looking for confidence-boosting results
ahead of their meeting in a crucial World Cup qualifier next month
– and it was the top-ranked Spanish who will be more satisfied as
international football returned to the schedule for the first time
in 2013 with some glamorous matchups.
Pedro Rodriguez took his tally to nine goals in his last six
internationals by scoring twice in the second half after Cesc
Fabregas' 16th-minute opener was canceled out by Cristian Rodriguez
in the 32nd.
"Uruguay defended well and was dangerous in counterattacks but
we played a good game," Spain coach Vicente del Bosque said.
"Pedro made the difference for us in the second half."
Spain was captained by Carles Puyol on the defender's 100th
national-team appearance.
Germany hadn't beaten France in their last five meetings and
needed a second-half turnaround to end that poor run.
Diminutive winger Mathieu Valbuena headed in from close range
just before halftime for France, but Thomas Mueller equalized in
the 51st and Sami Khedira scored the winner 16 minutes from time
for second-ranked Germany's first win over the French in 26 years –
when it was still West Germany.
"It was our first big test of 2013, we played with a lot of
rhythm and showed some of the good things that were missing last
year," Germany coach Joachim Loew said.
Sweden's home match with Argentina was being dubbed as a
head-to-head between strikers Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Messi, who
spent a year together at Barcelona before Ibrahimovic left for AC
Milan in 2010 after losing his place as center forward to
Neither scored at the Friends Arena but Messi – the four-time
world player of the year – had a bigger impact and even had a close
encounter with a pitch invader, who ran onto the pitch, embraced
the forward and kissed him on the forehead.
Mikael Lustig turned Gonzalo Higuain's shot for Argentina's
opening goal before Sergio Aguero and Higuain added further goals
after Jonas Olsson had equalized.
Ibrahimovic was substituted at halftime with his team 3-1 down
and Rasmus Elm's free kick in injury time came too late for the
England grew in belief after goalkeeper Joe Hart saved
Ronaldinho's penalty in the 19th and Rooney scored seven minutes
later, sweeping in the loose ball after Theo Walcott's shot was
Fred equalized in the 48th after a defensive mistake but
substitute Lampard clinched victory for England over the 2014 World
Cup hosts by curling in a shot from the edge of the area that went
in off the post.
"We've got to get to Brazil, but if we continue with that
attitude and get a bit more flow to our game we should be all
right," said Lampard, whose Chelsea teammate Ashley Cole also made
his 100th international appearance.
Brazil is down in 18th place in the FIFA rankings, partly
because of a lack of competitive games as it qualifies
automatically for the World Cup, and is looking for Scolari to
restore the team's fortunes after coming in as a replacement for
Mano Menezes last year.
"We aren't in the best physical shape yet but we will work on
it," Scolari said.
The Netherlands looked like condemning Italy to a sixth straight
friendly loss when Jeremain Lens put them in front in the 33rd,
only for Verratti to come off the bench and score a last-gasp
"Everyone lost the plot at the end, we gave it away,"
Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal said.
