Antiwar.com co-founder Justin Raimondo passed in 2019.  He would have been 73 today.

Justin had been a close friend and political partner of mine since 1976.   We started Antiwar.com in 1995.

You can read about his life here.   He wrote close to 3,000 articles for Antiwar.com which you can read here.

Here is a mostly-complete archive of Libertarian Vanguard, the newspaper of the first Libertarian Party Radical Caucus, which was run by Justin Raimondo, Eric Garris, Murray Rothbard, Roy Childs, Colin Hunter, Bob Costello,  Chris Weber, Diane Pilcher, Scott Olmsted, Johnnie Gilman, and others.   Justin Raimondo was the editor and wrote most of the content.  It existed from 1979 to 1984 and operated out of Libertarian Books and Periodicals in San Francisco.

Justin wrote a regular column for Chronicles Magazine.  His archive is available here.    They will allow you to read two articles at no cost but then require you to subscribe.

His book Reclaiming the American Right is an excellent history and analysis of neoconservationism.   He also wrote the best biography of Murray Rotherbard, An Enemy of the State.

We at Antiwar.com all miss Justin very much.

I woke to this disconcerting story from CNN:

President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use powerful long-range US weapons deep inside Russia.

Why now? Biden is a lame duck president, shuffling out the door, and now he decides to allow Ukraine to use American ATACMS missiles, with a range of roughly 190 miles, inside Russia. It’s also expected that these and similar longer-range missiles provided by the French and British will have no decisive impact on the war. They may kill and wound more Russians and inspire responses in kind by Russia against Ukraine, but their use won’t contribute to “victory” for Ukraine. So what’s the point?

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

If the Wall Street Journal is to be believed, President Biden (or whoever is running his foreign policy) has, in the waning moments of his presidency, agreed finally to allow Ukraine to strike deep in Russian territory with US ATACMS missiles. Putin has warned that such a move could spark WWIII. Is Biden trying to “Trump-proof” his proxy war? Also today, the Pentagon fails its audit… again.

In a new book set to be released this week, Pope Francis I endorsed a genocide investigation into Israel’s war on Gaza – which has killed or maimed more than 150,000 Palestinians and forcibly displaced, starved, or sickened millions more over the past 13 months.

“In the Middle East, where the open doors of nations like Jordan or Lebanon continue to be a salvation for millions of people fleeing conflicts in the region: I am thinking above all of those who leave Gaza in the midst of the famine that has struck their Palestinian brothers and sisters given the difficulty of getting food and aid into their territory,” the pontiff wrote in his latest book, which goes on sale in some countries on November 19.
