Mark Passio - Natural Law Seminar - New Haven, CT

 The nature of human consciousness and the natural laws that govern them--occulted knowledge and its impact on the proliferation of freedom and slavery in our world.
  Probably more convenient to watch directly on YouTube's website, but here they are for easy reference.

Part 1, morning session.

Part 2, afternoon session.

Part 3, evening session.

Federal Magistrate admits arbitrary nature of law

  Where does law receive its authoritative power?
  If you ask Federal Magistrate John Buttrick, it comes from 'we say so.'

I tried to embed the video, but for some reason the blogger tool wouldn't pull up the proper video.

  Contrast this with Mark Passio's seminar on Natural Law, coming in a future post.  Like, immediately.

Most decorated Marine of his time writes "War is a Racket"

Marine Major General Smedley Butler's book, War is a Racket (1935), is based on a well received speech he toured with after World War I.  It examines the spurring forces behind war, who benefits and who suffers.  Some of his observations were prophetic of what was to come.
 "The Japanese, a proud people, of course will be pleased beyond expression to see the United States fleet so close to Nippon's shores. Even as pleased as would be the residents of California were they to dimly discern through the morning mist, the Japanese fleet playing at war games off Los Angeles."
The text is freely available to read at WarIsARacket.com .  For those who prefer a pdf and possibly audio format, look up the 44MB torrent at kat.ph .  It is only about 14 pages long and well worth considering in examining all wars, modern and past.
