Finanacial War Crimes

We all know that finances are a key component of how terrorists and mobsters fund themselves. Money can be, in itself, a weapon, especially when it is used to destabilize an economy.

If the claims in this article are true, I want to know whether we could bring up the responsible parties on charges of crimes against humanity or other war-crimes level charges?! Destroying hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars of wealth must certainly have very deadly consequences to those left begging on the streets, without medical care, in its wake. Is this not waging war on the poor and downtrodden? Is this not just blatantly corrupt, criminal behavior?! Why is there zero outrage about this? Why doesn't the media care? Why is Congress asleep? You're all arguing about McCain versus Obama while these bilge rats are stealing everything we own. Are you all a bunch of brainwashed zombies? What is wrong with you people!?!?

This is all starting to feel just a little surreal. I think I'm going to go down this week or next to get myself and my family passports. This is beyond scary.

The Constitution has gone to the dogs

Actually, it should have gone to the dogs, but didn't. I'm talking about  Leona Helmsley's estate , of course. The contract clause of the Constitution says, "No State shall ... pass any ...

This clause is incredibly important because the willingness of private individuals to engage in profitable enterprise - which is the foundation of social welfare - crucially depends on their belief that they can realize a profit. In turn, their belief that they can realize a profit depends on their belief that they can hold parties to a contract liable to the terms in the contract. For example, lenders must have confidence that they can repossess the collateral for a loan if the loan is defaulted on. Otherwise, they will not take the risk of giving the loan in the first place. When lenders are too scared to lend, everyone is worse off. In the case of Leona Hel...

What Law Is

Law What is law? Frederic Bastiat, in his treatise The Law, defines law as the collective use of force. As much as I love Bastiat’s treatise, I think his definition is not sufficiently analytical. It is certainly the case that the law plays a role in the collective use of force but the law is something more basic than this. We can begin by looking at law as it is today. The website for the Oregon courts has an excellent summary [1] of modern law and courts. I will quote it at length: Throughout history, people have had disputes and have needed some means to settle their disputes. As civil societies develop, they need an orderly system of conflict resolution. One system that developed in "western" cultures is the "law court" or court of law. In England, those early law courts developed a "body of law" called the common law, which defined both the rights of the people and the government and the duties people owe each other and their government.
