Contest for 2015 Atlas Shrugged Crony Awards Open

When I say 'capitalism,' I mean a full, pure, uncontrolled, unregulated laissez-faire capitalism—with a separation of state and economics, in the same way and for the same reasons as the separation of state and church. – Ayn Rand 

Enter now for the 2015 Atlas Shrugged Crony Awards.

Unfortunately today we live in a mixed economy full of examples of special interests merging with the power of the state. We have developed the Atlas Shrugged Cronyism Contest to allow everyone to participate in identifying and educating about the destructive nature of crony capitalism.

Here is how the contest works:

Appeal From a Russian Libertarian

Libertarians have fallen hook, line and sinker for Russia's President, Vladimir Putin for having the balls to stand up to the NWO establishment, the Obama police state and the EU. But that doesn't make Putin a better man, just more dangerous. He's hardly the champion of Liberty, individual rights and free enterprise.

It's a contradiction, but premodernist Vladimir Putin's politics are attractive to Libertarian postmodernists. 

Russia has never had an Enlightenment. Mentally the country is still in the premodern state. Putin's mystical, collectivist-altruist, ethno-nationalistic direction does nothing to improve the situation. The following is a heart-felt appeal to Libertarians in the West. What upsets the author most, is that western Libertarians are defending lesser freedom. He hopes this post will allow fellow Libertarians to see through Russian propaganda a little better.

60 Jailed in Gouda For Protesting Black Pete

The postmodernist activists waging war on Black Pete are going for the kill this year. Even the UN and the international media joined battle. Yet scant research in ethnographic sources testifies to quite different roots than racism and slavery.

The public debate hasn't stopped for over a year, with politicians and judges entering the fray, upto the highest judicial Court entering a correct verdict earlier this week that the appearance of Black Pete isn't up to the rulers to decide. But postmodern protesters, with in their wake a host of 'antifascist' activists have not given up. Crying children, scared to death and a people squarely behind the popular figure of Black Pete, even if dressed up like a politically correct Gouda cheese. 

Pat Condell Makes a Public Apology

Pat is full heartedly, unreservedly apologizing to all slimy, filthy, corrupt life forms on planet Earth for falsely morally equating them with British establishment politicians. Make that universal, and Pat's polemic is rooted in reality.

25 Years After the Wall: Socialism Was Great!

Twenty-five years ago the symbol of totalitarian altruism - the Berlin Wall, officially referred to as the "Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart" - fell. The peoples in the countries behind it - in Russia's buffers and satellite states - stood up against the raw power that had suppressed their morality for over 40 years. But the revolt was sparked by the stupid mistake of an apparatchik.

Film reveals the brutal life and chaotic death of the Berlin Wall, the central symbol of Communism.

The film begins with the history of the conflict and technology that built the wall, and moves to the escape attempts and true-life espionage tales associated with it. We learn about a blunder that ended the Cold War and the ultimate demise of the USSR. This fast moving documentary covers all the major events in an accessible and exciting fashion. In addition to insider reports and rare footage, this documentary features interviews with major players, including Mikhail Gorbachev and George H.W. Bush.

Quran 98:6 Explains Moral Outrages Like Mass Rape

Muslims are not born evil. Ideas, including religion, are acquired. For Muslims those ideas are laid down in Islamic Scripture. If we study their meaning we start to understand why Islamic morality is vastly different from other religious or philosophical systems.

@joysamcyborg @oude_lap @Kassandra_Troy You kaafirs are the worst of created creatures See Q98:6 for the evidence.
— Shaikh Faisal (@AuthenticTauhed) November 6, 2014

UPDATE: This blog started tongue in cheek, but it actually sheds light on  moral issues that are not understood in other cultures. Like the one posed here. Why did Muslims protest the Mohammed cartoons, but remain silent when their religion of peace causes outcries like this? Simple. The girl is a devil worshipper, and in the eyes of Muslims the dredges of the dredges. Moreover, she's a slave: the justification of sex with slaves is covered in Scripture. So there's no moral problem here.

US Launched New Airstrikes On Khorasan Group

According to the US Director of the National Counterterrorism, very dangerous veteran al Qaeda fighters have been posted in Syria to recruit US and European passport holders for an attack on the West. Turns out the group's existence is entirely artificial and serves multiple purposes. 

Sep 18, 2014: Robert Spencer explains the significance of the new Jihad group, Khorasan.

UPDATE: A French bombmaker has been taken out as well as weapons and vehicles, according to a report on Fox News Radio.

Americans Dump Obama's Socialism, Big Time!

Voters handed control of the Senate to Republicans for the first time in eight years and House Republicans are looking at a majority of historical proportions: Republicans picked up 14 seats giving them their largest majority since 1928.

Got home from work & saw that we took the Senate. Very cool. I'll definitely sleep well tonight. #Election2014 #tcot pic.twitter.com/iXO0dEtncR

Downturn in the Islamic State's Cattle and Slave Market

Two Kurdish film makers have produced and published a short video of an IS sex slave market in the heart of Europe, namely in central London. It begs a number of questions. This is the reality in which we live in the year 2014.

Oct 15, 2014 A short film by @arahmangok and @lalescaksu of the re-enactment of an IS slave market in London. Media enquiries at www.compassion4kurdistan.co.uk - H/t @TaninKendal

UPDATE: The cattle and slave market in the Islamic State is not exactly laissez faire. Prices are set the Caliphate.
