John Lennon était-il un libertarien dans le placard?

Via le Québécois Libre:

WAS JOHN LENNON A LIBERTARIAN?

by Bradley Doucet

When it comes to radical, left-wing icons, John Lennon is perhaps second only to Ernesto "Che" Guevara in the minds of many. But while the man who entreated us to "imagine no possessions" was certainly a radical of sorts, his actual socialist bona fides are more questionable.

I began to have my suspicions after watching the 2006 documentary The U.S. vs. John Lennon recently. Intrigued, I then read the extended, book-length version of the interview he and Yoko Ono gave to Playboy Magazine just a couple of months before he was shot dead in December 1980, and judging from this source, John Lennon was practically a libertarian.

Fonction publique fédérale: le club des 100 000$ explose

LA PRESSE

(Montréal) Le nombre de fonctionnaires fédéraux qui gagnent plus de 100 000$ a explosé l'an dernier, conséquence de la signature de nombreuses conventions collectives touchant les travailleurs fédéraux. On en comptait plus de 40 000 au cours de la dernière année financière, un bond de 70% par rapport à l'année précédente.

L'histoire officielle: glorification des meutriers de masse

Who is studied and idolized in the history books? Is it people like Edison, the Wright Brothers, Leonardo, Newton, Ford, or Pasteur? Not really; they just get a passing nod. The ones who get statues built to them and are engraved on the collective memory are conquerors and mass murderers – Alexander, Caesar, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, and a whole bunch of U.S. presidents.

Imaginez la scène. Sans emploi depuis des mois, vous devez rendre les clés de votre maison à la banque. Pas un, mais trois représentants de banques différentes cognent à votre porte. Chacun d’eux tient dans ses mains un certificat de propriété pour votre maison. Après vérification, les trois papiers sont… des faux! Et personne ne sait qui possède votre maison.

On pensait avoir tout vu des banquiers de Wall Street. Mais le «Foreclosure-gate» pourrait battre tous les records de fraude financière… et nous replonger tous au cœur d’une nouvelle crise.

Apôtre réchauffiste congédié de Wikipédia

William Connolley, arguably the world’s most influential global warming advocate after Al Gore, has lost his bully pulpit. Connolley did not wield his influence by the quality of his research or the force of his argument but through his administrative position at Wikipedia, the most popular reference source on the planet.

Through his position, Connolley for years kept dissenting views on global warming out of Wikipedia, allowing only those that promoted the view that global warming represented a threat to mankind. As a result, Wikipedia became a leading source of global warming propaganda, with Connolley its chief propagandist.

His career as a global warming propagandist has now been stopped, following a unanimous verdict that came down today through an arbitration proceeding conducted by Wikipedia. In the decision, a slap-down for the once-powerful Connolley by his peers, he has been barred from participating in any article, discussion or forum dealing with global warming. In addition, because he rewrote biographies of scientists and others he disagreed with, to either belittle their accomplishments or make them appear to be frauds, Wikipedia barred him — again unanimously — from editing biographies of those in the climate change field.
