Interest-free monetary reformer, Anthony Migchels, is scheduled to be my guest on Exposing Faux Capitalism on March 17, 2013 from 1:30 to 3 PM Eastern on Oracle Broadcasting.

I previously interviewed Anthony on July 22, 2012, where he thoroughly exposed the Austrian School of economics as a controlled opposition front for debt-slavery promoting private banking interests.

His blog is Real Currencies.

From lewrockwell.com. Released under the GFDL ...Lew Rockwell regularly features Paul Craig Roberts’ commentary — so long as it fits his anti-state narrative. When it doesn’t, despite being meritorious, it doesn’t get included for very transparent reasons.

No surprise, then, that we don’t find this February 14, 2013 Paul Craig Roberts article, While Left and Right Fights — Power Wins, published by LewRockwell.com in the intervening days.

Here is the reason why Rockwell didn’t include it, since Roberts correctly identifies the fundamental problem being the concentration of power — not its location:

The right is correct that government power is the problem, and the left is correct that private power is the problem. Therefore, whether power is located within the government or private sectors cannot reduce, constrain, or minimize power.

Previously, I wrote the article, Did Lew Rockwell and the Daily Bell influence Michael Snyder to abandon his call for nationalizing the Federal Reserve?

Animation of a spinning barber pole

From the November 15, 2012 Toronto Star article, Woman denied haircut goes to Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, in Canada’s largest newspaper, I posted the following comment:

“Private property rights

Why is a store owner required to do something on his own property against his will? It’s too bad that he’s challenging this on religious freedom, when it should be a matter of private property rights — to do with your own property as you wish, so long as you’re not depriving anyone else of their rights. And it’s not anyone’s right to get a haircut at a particular barber shop.

Nov 15, 2012 9:48 AM Agree (68) Disagree (22)”

After 13 hours, my comment is the 13th-highest-rated among over 600 comments. I’m pleasantly heartened to see the message of private property rights resonate with so many readers, given the false frame of the article in portraying it as a matter of gender equality vs. religious freedom.

AlleyCity of Windsor, Ontario councilors have discovered that private property = better care.

From the October 8, 2012 Toronto Star article, Solution to fixing Windsor’s decaying alleys? Sell them to homeowners:

“The alleys are in bad shape and they’re just going to get worse because we don’t have the money to fix them,” Payne said.

Payne thought that it would be better for the city to just divest itself of the alleyways and asked for a report on the feasibility of selling them for a nominal fee to homeowners whose property is next to them.

The city has 150 kilometres of alleys — most of them in a state of disrepair, said Payne. The pavement is cracked. There are potholes, garbage and vermin in many of them, he said.

Reaction to the idea so far has been positive, Payne said. “I’ve had calls from homeowners who’ve said they’d like to buy the alleys behind their house.””

Frank SuessThe regular Daily Bell contributor Frank Suess included one of my articles at FauxCapitalist.com in his weekly Mountain Vision newsletter, on October 4, 2012.

Gary North: “The FED operates for the benefit of the largest banks”
Unlike fellow Mises devotee, Thomas DiLorenzo, who keeps calling the Fed a “national bank” and “government bank,” to obscure the fact that it´s 100% privately owned and operates at a profit for its shareholders, Gary North admitted on March 9, 2011, that the Fed “operates for the benefit of the largest banks.”

This is from the Daily Bell‘s bio on Suess:

Who is he: Frank R. Suess is CEO & Chairman of BFI Capital Group Inc. and he heads up the BFI group of companies in Zurich, Switzerland. They provide wealth management and consulting companies including the Global Gold Program offering secure gold storage in Switzerland. Frank also personally advises a select group of BFI’s high net-worth clients around the world. Suess’s vast knowledge of Switzerland and Liechtenstein is appreciated in his capacity as a member of the Advisory Board for The Foundation for the Advancement of Free-Market Thinking (FAFMT).

An advocate of free-market principles, Frank frequently speaks and writes on global economic, geo-political and financial matters. He is the editor of the Mountain Vision Update, BFI’s complimentary weekly newsletter. Furthermore, he is a regular contributor to The Daily Bell.

This is ironic, given what I have written about the Daily Bell.
