On August 11th, Japan's central bank, the Bank of Japan (BOJ), announced its first interest rate hike in ten years. For seventeen months, the BOJ had lent money overnight to the banking system at a rate of zero; that is, no interest. Now, with the hike, it will charge...

Torture in Castro’s Cuba
“I recall when they kept me in a punishment cell, naked, with several fractures on one leg which never received medical care; today, those bones remain jammed up together and displaced. One of the regular drills among the guards was to stand on the steel mesh ceiling and throw at my face buckets full of urine and excrement.” – Armando Valladares’, Chief of the US Delegation to the United Nations Human Rights’ Commission, 1988
The “Third Way” Moves Two Ways In Europe
In recent years, the leftist parties of England and Germany returned to power by promising voters that they had turned their back on command and control, tax and spend, economic policies. Instead they promised to "transcend" the old right and left by pursuing an...
“Sweatshop” Opponents Want to Violate Workers’ Rights
The anti-‘sweatshop’ campaign is driven, not by concern for Third World workers, but by hatred for American corporations.
Elian Gonzalez and the Death of America
Back in April, on the day that Eliàn Gonzalez was taken into custody by the federal government, the San Jose Mercury News published a letter by a 14-year-old girl. She suggested that Eliàn should return to Cuba with his father. Then, when he was older, he could decide...
“Humanitarian” Food and Medicine Bill for Cuba is Anything but Pro-Human
Fidel Castro’s use of food and medicine as weapons of control over the Cuban population is a tactic as old as the Revolution itself.
For Five Months Elian Was Free (Part 2 of 2)
The case of Elian Gonzalez is the morality of freedom versus immorality of dictatorship. It is the individual versus the all-powerful state.
“Life” in Cuba for Elian
I’d like to share some thoughts regarding life in Communist Cuba, important to know and understand prior to formulating an opinion on the Eliàn Gonzalez case, or life in the Island.
Elian Should Stay Free in America
“If the courts send Elian back to Cuba, it will be a slap in the face to every American living or dead — a repudiation of the very principles upon which this country was founded,” she said.
A Firsthand Account Of Child Abuse, Castro Style
I was in solitary confinement in Fidel Castro’s tropical gulag — where I spent 22 years for refusing to pledge allegiance to the Communist regime — when I heard a child’s voice whimpering. “Get me out of here! Get me out of here! I want to see my mommy!”
Elian Gonzalez Has a Right Not to Live in Slavery
Parental rights end where totalitarianism begins.
The Slavery Known as Communism
Elian’s mother knew firsthand that life under slavery is no life at all, which is why she fled Cuba to go to the land of the free.
Whitewashing Castro’s Crimes
One day Castro’s brutality will end. But that end will not be hastened by the Western press, which cannot seem to shed its esteem for Fidelismo
Ayn Rand Heir Asserts Elian’s Right to Remain in U.S.
“The liberals want Elián returned to Cuba, because they regard the difference between the United States and Cuba as ‘merely a difference of political opinion,’ merely a matter of ‘how you define freedom.’ In other words, as statists themselves, they see nothing objectively wrong with Cuba.
Russia’s Chance for a Free Market Future
Winston Churchill once described Russia as a mystery wrapped in an enigma. The election of Vladimir Putin as Russia’s new president for the next five years has in no way diminished this imagery. Groomed in the ranks of the KGB, the Soviet secret police, Putin has...
Don’t Destroy America’s Best: Will America Repeat the Errors of Ancient Greece
In Judge Jackson's "findings of fact" in which he declared Microsoft to be a dangerous monopoly, one fact was undisputed: the defendant is extraordinarily successful. This success is often described in terms of "market share," which is a measurement of millions of...

Elian Gonzalez, Communist Cuba, and “Father’s Rights”: An Interview with Psychologist Edwin Locke
Prodos for Capitalism Magazine: You have been very busy lately talking about Elián Gonzalez and the argument of whether to keep him in America or to return him to Cuba. You've been talking to a lot of the media on this issue. I'm pleased to see that the issue is taken...
A Sin to Deport Elian Gonzalez
It would be a sin to deport Elián Gonzalez. To send a child to rot in the prison of Cuba for the alleged sake of his own well-being is criminal hypocrisy. To send him there in order to preserve his father's rights is absurdity, since there are no parental or other...
Who should have legal custody of Elian Gonzalez?
Elián’s mother died trying to escape Cuba with her son.
Keep Elian Free
The debate over Elián Gonzalez, the 6-year-old Cuban boy whose mother died trying to bring him to America, hinges on one essential question: Is freedom a necessity of human life? For our own sakes, we must answer this question with a resounding "Yes"--and keep Elián...

Is communism physically harmful to human life?
The Life of Six Year Old Elian Gonzalez Is In President Clinton’s Hands
Elián Gonzales, a 6-year-old Cuban boy, found Thanksgiving Day clinging to an inner tube off the coast of Florida, is about to be deported back to Communist Cuba on January 14, 2000, if the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has its way. It was...
