www.government-scam.comChumped! – The Unfortunate Truth about the Women’s March on Washington

By Etienne de la Boetie2, Author of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!  and the investigation into:  Plandemic – Covid 19 is a Scam, A Multi-Trillion Dollar Bank Robbery and Economic Warfare Against the Population by Organized Crime Interests in “Government” on Wall Street, and in the Media

The murderous communist Vladimir Lenin famously said “The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves”. This was the tactic used to bring half a million women to Washington, DC in January of 2017 for the Women’s March on Washington, waste their time, and steer them into a dead end.

The organized crime cabal knew that there would be opposition to the installation of their newest puppet Donald Trump so they were ready and waiting to steer the opposition into a dead end
So who funded (and therefore controlled) the Women’s March?   George Soros!
 

Former WSJ reporter Asra Q. Nomani writing in the New York Times has identified at least 56 organizations that receive funding from George Soros. Since the publication of the article and the open source investigation triggered by the publication of Ms. Nomani’s spreadsheet of Women’s March partners, the number of groups linked to Soros has climbed to 62 as of this writing.   George Soros is a billionaire off-shore hedge fund operator and currency speculator and convicted felon (insider trading) who, as a 14 year old, was a Nazi collaborator in World War 2 where he helped confiscate the property of fellow Jews.  He has personally confirmed his time as a Nazi collaborator in an 60 Minutes interview with Steve Kroft in 1998 and referred to his time helping the Nazis as the “the happiest year of his life” .

George Soros is the King of “Divide & Conquer”

Soros is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and the Bilderberg Group, which are two of the key components of the shadow government.  For at least 7 decades it has not mattered which side of the fake left-right paradigm is in power, Republican or Democrat, a CFR member, a Bilderberg member or member of the Trilateral Commission has held the majority of key cabinet positions, intelligence agency positions, Federal Reserve, and virtually every other important position of political, banking, or media power in the US.

George Soros’s Open Society Institute and the dozens of other Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that he funds have been implicated in financing a number of “Color Revolutions” in countries ranging from Serbia to Croatia to Egypt.  A color revolution is a destabilization and overthrow of a country where the “revolutionaries”, funded and controlled from outside, get some percentage of the targeted countries population to unite behind a specific color or flower.  The “Rose Revolution” of November 2003 in Georgia forced  Edouard Shevardnadze from power and installed the then 36 year old US university graduate Mikhail Saakashvili  as President was run and financed by the US State Department, the Soros Foundations, and agencies tied to the Pentagon and US intelligence community.  Soros funded groups also participated in the 2004 Orange Revolution in Ukraine pouring more than $100 million into financing opposition groups and the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution stoking violence that saw more than 100 killed in 2014’s Euromaidan clashes

Soros Working to Divide and Conquer the US as Well

Soros’ tactics are to “divide and conquer” a nation by investing in groups that create and/or stoke opposition forces in the target country to divide the population.  He has been using the same tactics here in the United States where he has poured at least $650,000 into Black Lives Matter to agitate and stoke black-white hatred and violence.   Other Soros-funded groups made it their job to remotely monitor and exploit anything related to the incident that they could portray as a conservative misstep, and to develop academic research and editorials to disseminate to the news media to keep the story alive.

Soros’ Connections to Donald Trump

Soros is also friends and a former business partner with Donald Trump.  The pair’s relationship goes back more than a decade. In 2004, Soros lent Trump $160 million to help with the construction of Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago, the Chicago Tribune reported. The two were also named in a lawsuit over the sale of the General Motors building which alleged that the two (and others) were working together alleging a widespread racketeering and fraud conspiracy by the defendant group, which also includes Deutsche Bank, Cerberus Capital Management LP, Lazard Ltd., Freres and Co. Inc. and Kirkland and Ellis LLP.

The New York Post reported in 2009 noted that Trump spent Christmas Eve that year at a private party with George Soros, Steve Schwartzman, a billionaire, fellow Bilderberg Group member, and member of Skull and Bones, who is partnered with Pete Peterson, the former Secretary of Commerce in the Nixon administration and Chairman Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, and liberal Hollywood director Oliver Stone, among others.

What other People and Groups Were Behind the March OR were March Participants Steered/Introduced to?  

 The short answer is:  CIA operatives, socialists/communists, identity-politics agitators, felons and abortionists. A group of depraved scum guaranteed to alienate intelligent people who understand their background and politics while potentially corrupting those who don’t. Since I assume an overwhelming majority of march participants didn’t have any idea who the speakers or sponsoring groups were let’s just examine the background of a few of the speakers:

Gloria Steinhem
One of the honorary co-chairs of the event has admitted herself, on-camera, that she was a CIA operative and is self-described Marxist. Steinhem was part of the CIA front group the “Congress for Cultural Freedom,” which created magazines like “Encounter” and “Partisan Review” to promote a left-liberal chic to oppose/control/steer the Marxist movement. Steinem, attended Communist-sponsored youth festivals in Europe, published a newspaper, reported on other participants, and helped to provoke riots.
In 1970 she launched Ms. Magazine, a CIA Operation Mockingbird publication, that helped create the “feminist revolution” which promoted “divide and conquer” between men and women and contributed to the rise and acceptance of divorce which produced two tax slaves instead of one and splits up families which makes the population easier to manage. She also heavily promoted and continues to promote abortion which is part of the slave master’s eugenics and population reduction agenda.

 Women’s March Co-Chair Gloria Steinhem making the Illuminati/Masonic “Triangle” symbol and wearing a t-shirt celebrating the killing of her unborn child.  

 

Donna Hylton – Speaker – Convicted felon who participated in the 20 day kidnapping and torture of a  man where his testicles were crushed with pliers, where he was beaten, burned, and held for ransom. They shoved a 3 foot metal rod up his rectum.

Angela Davis – Speaker and Honorary Co-chair of the March –  In 1980 and 1984, Davis ran for vice-president of the United States on the Communist Party ticket together with Gus Hall.  In 1979, Davis was awarded the International Lenin Peace Prize (formerly the International Stalin Peace Prize) by then-communist East Germany. Was on the FBI’s 10 most wanted list for buying a shotgun used in a armed takeover of a courtroom where 4 people where killed and 2 injured.  Angela Davis had bought a shotgun used in the kidnapping 2 days prior.  She was also a vocal supporter of the Jim Jones cult in Guyana which, to many scholars of the incident, appears to be a CIA-backed mind control experiment which resulted in the deaths of 900+ people where hundreds appear to have been hunted down and killed to cover up the crimes. 

Cecile Richards – Speaker – President of Planned Parenthood of America – Abortionist – Planned Parenthood kills over 320,000 babies a year while taking over half a billion dollars from the taxpayers even though a majority of Americans, 58% in a recent Harvard/Politico poll, oppose having tax money go to abortion. Planned Parenthood was exposed in 2016 through a series of undercover videos to be selling body parts from dead babies  in violation of federal law. Planned Parenthood was founded by Margaret Sanger, a racist and eugencist who wrote that blacks, immigrants, and indigents were “…human weeds,’ ‘reckless breeders,’ ‘spawning… human beings who never should have been born.” Ms. Richards is also a trustee of the Ford Foundation, a multi-billion dollar “philanthropic” foundation that has served as a front organization and funding mechanism for the CIA since the 1950sBarack Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, worked at the Ford Foundation along with Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner’s father.

Linda Sarsour – March Organizer and Speaker –  Muslim terrorist supporter Linda Sarsour, president of the Arab American Association of New York, was deeply involved in planning march-related events. Sarsour has familial ties to HAMAS and works with the terrorist front group Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Madonna – Speaker and Performer at the March – As an added “present” to those women who brought their children and teens to the march the organizers elevated Madonna to the role of spokesperson.  Not exactly the role model you want for young, impressionable kids. 

How the Scam Worked

1. Divert legitimate criticism into worthless criticism – The real problem with Trump (and the indoctrinated belief in Statism in general) is the poisonous indoctrinated belief that it is legitimate for one person or group of people to rule everyone else.  The women of the march were absolutely right in their indignation over having a narcissistic, misogynist imposed on them as their ruler BUT are intellectually crippled by the fact the mandatory government school system, the Catholic schools system, and most private schools taught them that they must obey because 26% of people in the US were duped into voting for him in a political ritual. The governments’ mandatory schools indoctrinate kids that because a couple of dozen slave owners in a nation of three million people wrote down on a piece of paper that they have the right to make up rules for everyone and steal the wealth of others that it is legitimate for them to be the tax-slave of whoever wins the easily rigged contest.  Instead of a principled defense of their own self-ownership and individual liberty the marchers were steered into whining at and begging the government (organized crime).

2. Promote Identity Politics and Divide and Conquer – If you look at the speakers and the groups that promoted the march they were ideologically similar to white separatists: La Raza, LGBT pressure groups, communists, and dozens of other groups chosen to divide and alienate good people.

3. Focus on Non-violence and “Acceptance of Suffering – If you read the published Mission Statement of the March you will see that it specifically advocates non-violence and “acceptance of suffering” which is exactly the message you would expect promoted from the organized crime syndicate that funded the march.  Even though women are forced into tax-slavery, have mercury and aluminum-laced vaccines that cause autism pushed on their kids, are having the money they earn and save devalued through the bankster’s fractional reserve banking swindle and the inflation it causes, and are having their husbands, fathers, and brothers killed in wars based on lies and manufactured intelligence the March’s message is:  Just roll over and take it…Don’t fight back.. stay non-violent… accept your suffering.

4. Make the Crowd Look Like Idiots with Demeaning and Ineffective Slogans/Memes – Using  what I am assuming was an organized social media effort of the Soros-funded march partners the organizers were able to promote three of the dumbest memes / slogans in the history of organized protests guaranteed to alienate and offend intelligent people of all persuasions:

Idiotic Meme/Slogan #1 – Pussy Grabs Back – The most popular meme/slogan at the rally.  Neither a cohesive demand or an intelligent expose of the core problem, this meme/slogan spawned idiot women dressing themselves as vaginas.

 What were these women trying to promote / expose?

Idiotic Meme/Slogan #2 – I’m a Nasty Woman – Probably the 2nd most popular slogan/meme at the march and the 2nd dumbest slogan/meme in the history of political protest. Again, demeaning and ineffective by design.  

Idiotic Meme #3 – Dressing the Crowd (including men) as Fucking Pussies! – Supposedly the “Pussyhat Project” was a grassroots effort by a yarn store owner that saw women knitting “Pussy Hats” for marchers.  The idea was either: A. one of the dumbest political protest ideas in history B. she just wanted to sell a bunch of yarn or, most likely, C. there are a bunch of folks at the CIA who are rolling on the floor laughing like crazy that they were able to get the protestors to dress up like a bunch of fucking pussies! And… For the piece de resistance.. They tricked the women into knitting the hats themselves!! Triple Chumped!

Good People Chumped into Dressing Up as Fucking Pussies…

5. Focus on Government Solutions – Write your Congressman… March in the street… waste your time in the completely mafia-controlled government system.  During the debate on the “bailout” the semi-honest Congressmen that were releasing the ratio of calls to their offices showed that over 90% of their constituents opposed the “bailout”.  Congress went ahead and did it anyway… What makes these women think that Congress is going to support policies supported by around 50% especially when they know that the whiners and complainers are a bunch of pussies?

The Shame of the Overwhelming Majority of Protestors
 What is especially pathetic about the overwhelming majority of the protestors who turned out to specifically protest Donald Trump is that they voted for and worked to elect Barack Obama to be their ruler in 2008 and 2012 and then stood silent as he bombed 7 countries in 8 years after lying to them… to their literal and proverbial faces… repeatedly promising to end the wars that continue to rage to this day.  They stood silent as his administration used torture, put corporate lobbyists in key administration positions, prosecuted whistle-blowers who brought government corruption to light, imprisoned non-violent pot smokers in for-profit prisons where they work as slave labor, assassinated American citizens without trial, and committed scores of other crimes.

Why?  Because he looked good on tell-a-vision doing it and American society has been desensitized to the realities of the violence that organized crime’s military is committing all over the world.  

Obama was simply an entertainer… a front man for the same criminal interests that control Donald Trump today promoted by the weaponized media system that has been distracting and deceiving the population for decades. 
What Intelligent and Effective Protest Looks Like
I knew before I headed down that the protest was a controlled opposition event to steer well-meaning but naive people into an alley but went anyway because it was an opportunity to reach tens of thousands of (some-what) politically active people with an effective message.
My friend and I took my 60+ foot sign (recipe here) and set up on the dais between the Capital and the Capital reflecting pool where tens of thousands of march participants would stream past us from the Union Station Metro stop on their way to the event. It was a non-stop river of people.. tens of thousands of which we could see 5-10 stopping to take pictures of the sign at any given time and I estimate that over 1000+ took photos of the sign over the course of our time at the event. Two People… Striking the root…
The message was succinct… The basics… That unfortunately most Americans haven’t figured out… The organized crime cabal that is looting the country for trillions has bought and paid for the government and the media and is controlling the information that the tax slaves receive to give them an “artificial reality” with respect to what is really going on in the world and the reality of their tax slavery.

We passed out a few copies of my upcoming book: Understanding Our Slavery comparing the techniques used to control the American tax slaves demonstrating that they are the exact same techniques used to control the tax slaves in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and East Germany.

Etienne and Former D1 College Football Player Dr. Barre Lando Discuss Its Hidden Agendas

Etienne and Former D1 College Football Player Dr. Barre Lando Discuss Its Hidden Agendas

Let’s Take the Best & Brightest of America’s Youth and Crash Em Together in a Way That Almost Guarantee’s Brain Damage + NFL Teams as the “Artificial Tribe” Dr. Barre Lando: Welcome to the Alfacast Podcast, and thank you for being with us here today. Dr. Barre Lando here, and today I’m speaking with Etienne de la Boetie2, and we’ll be discussing his latest book, To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many.Étienne, my friend, good to see you again. How is my French pronunciation?Etienne de la Boetie2: You did better than most. You forgot the “squared”. I use a numeral two as an exponent to denote myself, that I’m not the original Etienne de la Boetie, and that’s the only way you can find me in a search engine.Dr. Barre Lando: We strongly believe at Alpha Vedic that self-reliance is something that’s essential… that we all need to get back to. And really when we moved away from self-reliance, that is what ended up generating, let’s say, a more dependence on government. So maybe we’ll start off with the first question. What could possibly go wrong with that?Etienne de la Boetie2: Well, so for folks in your audience that aren’t familiar with my work, my original book was called The Government the Biggest Scam in History . And my main thesis is that government is always illegitimate. It’s immoral. It’s impossible to have a legitimate government. And so it’s really beenThe Biggest Scam in History! And one of the ways that government has perpetrated itself on the population is by creating dependency in government on a huge, huge, huge, huge segment of the population is completely dependent on it for their jobs, whether they’re public school teachers or in the military. They forced people into their retirement system, so now many people are completely dependent on it for their retirement. They’ve forced people into their schools, they’ve monopolized medicine. They’ve created artificial poverty. They’ve impoverished the population. And then they’ve gotten, you know, a huge segment of the population dependent upon cash welfare. and on these, you know, on SNAP benefits and everything else. And so that’s one of the ways that they’ve been able to maintain their control is they’ve gotten so many people entirely dependent upon the government.Dr. Barre Lando: An interesting statistic, the numbers are going to be in the ballpark here, but in the early 1900s, the majority, I think it was maybe in the 80, 90 percentile, were all self-employed, early 1900s. At present time, the majority of people are employees and amidst those employees, Over 50% might even be more now, because these are old statistics, derive their income directly or indirectly from the government.Etienne de la Boetie2: I used to live outside Washington, D.C., which is the land of the Beltway Bandit, and it is somewhat creepy how dependent the population of Washington, D.C. is on the government. And the other thing that’s crazy, a lot of people don’t realize this, but four FIVE out of the top 10 wealthiest suburbs in the counties in the United States are all right outside of Washington, D.C. And so that’s Loudoun County, Virginia, it’s Fairfax County, Virginia, Arlington County, Virginia, and Prince William County, Maryland. And they lead the nation in fine wine consumption and luxury goods, and it’s amazing. And whenever, when I lived there, whenever the topic would get brought up at a dinner party or at a get-together or something like that, I would always make the running joke that it’s almost like the wealth of an entire country was stolen and concentrated into this one area around Washington, D.C. And the funny thing is, is that Washington, D.C. doesn’t really make anything. There’s no real industry, except for the Beltway Bandits. There is the Internet industry. I was in the Internet business, which is how I came to live outside of Washington, D.C. But besides the Internet, which was a DARPA program and essentially a military network that the Pentagon lets us use so they can spy on and track us while we’re using it. Besides that, D.C. doesn’t make anything, yet that’s where all of the wealth of the country has been accumulated.Dr. Barre Lando: Well, on a positive note, there has been some exposure, even though most of it’s wrapped up in a lot of media theater as a distraction, but there has been some exposure to a lot of folks who are getting their eyes open, realizing where that money actually comes from. It’s a vast topic, but we could get into the Federal Reserve and how they harvest us and make things out of thin air and so forth. Yeah, there’s a reason why that wealth is there. It’s not real wealth, but it is there available for them to maintain what, you know, really appears to me as a little cult, what you’re describing.Etienne de la Boetie2: Well, uh, now you’re, you’re, you’re going to give away the, the, the ending of my new book, but, uh, so I, you know, I have a new book out and, uh, the original book was “Government “ -The Biggest Scam in History. And the subtitle of that book was how intergenerational organized crime runs the government, the media, and academia. And my thesis in the book is really that “Government” has been the Biggest Scam in History. It’s impossible to have a legitimate government, a moral government. And so it’s best thought of as a technique for robbing and controlling populations. I don’t want to give away the ending, but it’s banks on the top and the banks create money out of thin air using a technique called fractional reserve banking. And for your audience that isn’t familiar with it, when you go to a bank to get a mortgage or a loan or a 50 year mortgage, they’re not going to lend you deposit or money. They just create those digital dollars out of thin air. Even though that’s inflationary and even though that steals the value out of everybody else’s money to let the banks create, you know, gazillions and gazillions of digital dollars, it kind of dilutes the value of the dollars that are in circulation. So the whole basis of our monetary system is essentially theft and fraud and and a scam and to protect that unethical, that corrupt system, they bought up the media and academia and they control the information that society receives so that they can tax farm the population by stealing the value out of the money and with confiscatory taxes. and handing money out the back door of Washington, D.C., whether it’s for mandatory vaccines, whether it’s for weapon systems that we don’t need to fight wars based on wise manufactured intelligence, whether that’s for ethanol subsidies or a gazillion other ways that the federal government is sliding money out the back door to identifiable interests that then get recirculated into campaign contributions.So that essentially 99% of Congress are, what Mark Twain said was the only distinctly criminal class in the country. One of the things that we’re doing and exposing at the Art of Liberty Foundation is that government is being run as a criminal enterprise out of Washington, DC. And what my new book breaks down is one of the ways they get around it is they’ve been indoctrinating the belief in having a government as a religion. Now, they don’t call it a religion, but they’re using all the tricks and the techniques of an unethically manipulative religion or a cult to indoctrinate and to propagandize and to trick the population into going along with something that is against their interest.Dr. Barre Lando: Yeah, and you know, one more comment about the money system, which I believe makes it even more sinister. It’s not just that they’re printing money out of thin air. We’ve all heard the saying that it’s based on the full faith and credit of the American people. So a corporation such as the Federal Reserve or United States Incorporated, it’s a piece of paper. It has no sentience. It has no energy. It can’t do anything unless somebody can sign on to it and say, hey, I’ll provide real life energy for you. We breathe our life into it whenever we sign on with all the contracts that bring us into their domain. So when we sign that 50 year mortgage, I can’t even imagine that. What we’re really doing with our signature is providing the credit ourselves. So, it’s our energy, it’s our life force that is given to us by our creator to create beauty, you know, on this planet. And they use it. It’s a real matrix-like situation where we are the batteries to keep this artificial entity going. And then based on our signature for whatever how much the loan is, then they give us some credits so we can go out and spend those within their system. But then as you already described, in the fractional reserve system, now let’s just say they gave you $500,000, they can loan 10 times that amount to other people and it just keeps going exponentially into fantastical figures. And then on top of it, they say, well, if these people are so stupid that they’re going to do this for us, let’s go ahead and charge them interest as well. So even though it’s their debt that they created, they do some shenanigans and route it through the security exchange and create a debt instrument that goes back on the left side of the banking ledger. which is now their responsibility. But then when we sign all these stacks of loan papers, we’re actually agreeing to take on their debt as well with interest, and then we pay it back many times if we’re lucky. But then here’s the real sinister part too. They only print enough money to cover the debt based on our loans that we take out, they don’t print enough to cover the interest. So if anybody’s wondering why we have all these homeless folks and even people that, you know, really gave it a good stab, you know, in their adult life to make a living and now they don’t have a home, it’s because not everybody can pay back the full debt with interest because they didn’t print enough to cover all that, and it’s on purpose to kick us out of our home and out of the country that our forefathers paid for with their own blood.Etienne de la Boetie2: It’s a form of economic warfare against the population, and they don’t want the population to have independent wealth. They don’t want people to be independent. They want them dependent upon either the government or the corporations that have been monopolized by the fractional reserve system. And so the, you know, just one more analogy that I like to use about fractional reserve banking, you know, imagine if I have a dollar and you dear, you know, viewer or listener have a dollar and those two dollars, the only dollars in the world. So I have 50% of the world’s wealth and you have 50% of the world’s wealth. And a bank or a government comes along and creates two more dollars out of thin air using fractional reserve banking or quantitative easing or printing press or digital dollar creation. Well now they’ve stolen 50% of the world’s wealth and you and I have been reduced to 25% of the world’s wealth. Now imagine multiplying that by a gazillion transactions and a gazillion dollars. And that creates, it’s the most profitable criminal enterprise on the planet, which is the reason why the bank is generally the largest building in every city on the planet is a bank building. And so those have seen profits. The first thing they did is they bought up the media. So the media wouldn’t tell you what’s going on. And in my book, “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History, I kind of break down a quote from a U.S. congressman that hadn’t entered into the congressional record of how they bought up the top 25 newspapers. And I think it was 1913. And they established an editor for each of those papers, and then they began coordinating the output of 25 newspapers in the United States to be able to widely control the information that the population received during the time of the newspaper. It goes even further back. I also tell the story of it. In the founding of the country, they collapsed a newspaper in Pennsylvania that was reporting on the the shady history of the Constitution and how that was forced on the population as well and the illegitimacy of that. But like that ability to create, sorry, to control perception, to control the information that the population receives really is the most, you know, kind of powerful weapon. But after they bought up the media and consolidated the media so the media wouldn’t tell the population what’s really going on and how they’re being robbed by the system, they began to provide unlimited capital to a handful of companies to buy up and consolidate their industries. And that’s really what we’ve got right now is that they’ve been providing these cartel companies unlimited dollars, and those cartel companies have been buying up family businesses and mom and pop businesses and every kind of business to create a system where they can exercise control through BlackRock and Vanguard and State Street and these large private equity companies that are holding and you know that the ownership of the companies bought up with fractional reserve dollars and providing management to them and controlling the you know, who’s sitting in the C suite and who’s sitting in the CEO position. Um, and, and once you’re, you’re in that hierarchical control system, then they can push down policies. Like everybody gets vaccinated and that’s what they want. They want to be able to push down a policy. Like everybody’s going to take this vaccine that works at this company and you can’t do anything about it because you’re now an employee. You’re not an owner anymore. You’re not a, you know, you’re, and that has been to a large degree how they maneuvered themselves into this catbird seat where now it’s a kind of tax slavery system. And every day that the average American goes to work in January, February, March, April, May, and June, they don’t see a nickel of it. The government is nice enough to spread out the payments over the entire year. But the average person, when you include the overt taxes of the 1040 and the income tax, the covert taxes of every time you get a gallon of gasoline, or buy a beer, or smoke a cigar, or pay your cable bill, or pay your cell phone bill, or get an airline ticket, or all the other ways that they’re taxing you on the sly, and inflation, so that the value that they’re stealing out of your dollars through this corrupt monetary system. That’s over for 50% of the average person’s income. And that’s tax slavery. And that’s you working for the government, which is not really for the government. It’s really for the people that are using government to rob and control the population. So you’re working for this system. Half of the year, you don’t see a nickel of it. They are, like I said, nice enough to spread the payments out over the four years.Dr. Barre Lando: Everything operates with the threat of force or even violence, which I think is the classic definition of criminality. You brought up the Constitution. That could be a vast topic as well, but maybe we’ll just touch on it if you don’t mind. The Constitution, most people think it gives us rights. It doesn’t give us any rights. There is some brilliance in there that delineates what the government is supposed to do and not do. They’ve circumvented that. But the Constitution originally was an abrogation of debt. abrogation, meaning of course that it’s a transfer of debt from one party to another. So after the Revolutionary War, where we borrowed money to fight the Brits, who have never left by the way, We were on the hoof for that, and the colonists said, stick it, when the folks said, hey, will you be sureties for the debt? So they created the Constitution in order to shift that debt to a private corporation. It was incorporated in Delaware. People know that it’s been reincorporated many times, Civil War and everything. But basically it’s their debt and the Constitution created an international business which has become this monster that we’re talking about. And God gives us rights. We are born with them. And it has nothing to do with the Constitution. And I kind of go a little bit nuts every time I hear people talk about their constitutional rights. So what could you add to that?Etienne de la Boetie2: Well, a lot of people don’t realize the word right, you know, everybody uses the word right. I’ve got to write this. I have a right to own a gun. And the word right comes from the natural law tradition. And in the natural law tradition, which is essentially the basics of the golden rule, do unto others as you would have others do unto you, which is in every civilization. Essentially, it’s codified into almost every civilization out there has some version of the golden rule. And so in natural law, there are five, depending on who you ask, there’s five to seven things that are wrongs. Stealing is obviously wrong. Rape is wrong. Murder is wrong. Theft is wrong. And all of these, by the way, are thefts. So murder is the theft of life. Rape is the theft of sexual choice. Theft is theft. You know, trespass is theft. theft of safety in your lair. And so these things are obviously wrong because there’s a victim. And so the other side of that coin is anything that is not a wrong is your right. And so if you’re not hurting somebody else in the world, you have the right to do whatever you want to do as long as you’re not hurting anybody else. Now the government, the Constitution was supposed to codify those rights and just make sure that the government wasn’t going to trample on the rights that everybody understood that they had, not from the government, but from being a free, independent human being on this planet. And so they kind of tricked the population into saying, okay, well, we’ll codify these rights if you go along with us having a government in Washington, D.C., but as I’ve kind of broken down on previous episodes, it’s impossible to have a legitimate moral government. So at the time the Constitution was passed, there was probably three million people living on the continent. And so the idea that four to five dozen slave owners, politicians, and attorneys could go into a room on a continent of 3 million people, okay, and write down on a fancy piece of paper that they alone get to make up rules for everybody and steal the wealth of others, and then proclaim that it’s valid, that was the really big scam is that you can’t do it today. If there’s 10 people on an island, there’s no way, you can’t write down something that forces four people to work for the other six and it to be legitimate, moral, and desirable, and logical. And so government really has been the biggest scam in all of history. Now there’s a lot of, you know, patriot mythology around the idea that we have the best constitution in the world and we have the best government in the world and there’s a gazillion books that the government has written itself explaining how we have the best government in the world, but it’s all poppycock because even if you believe in the The myth of the Constitution that it’s there, that government is created by ourselves to protect our own rights, even if you believe that, it didn’t work. It didn’t protect those rights. The government routinely violates every single one of the Bill of Rights, except for the quartering of soldiers. I don’t think they’ve quartered soldiers for a while. But whether it’s your right not to be searched and seized, try and exercise that when you get pulled over by the police or at an airport. Whether it’s freedom of speech, they’ll put you into a free speech zone and won’t let you have anything. We have freedom of speech without reach. If you’re in the alternative media like you and I are, as you know, you will be demonetized, deplatformed, de-indexed, shadow banned. And so even if people subscribe and want to hear what you have to say, they may not actually see it in their feed, even if they’ve subscribed to you. Your emails are going to go into spam. I could tell you censorship stories forever. And the constitution was supposed to limit the government, and we have the largest government that the world has ever seen, and so the constitution didn’t work. As advertised, even if you believe in the official story of the Constitution, that it was all done to protect your life, liberty, and property, the case I make in “Government” – the Biggest Scam in History , is that it’s best thought of as a technique for robbing and controlling populations, and that they get away with it because they have co-opted the Monopoly Media and Monopoly Academia, the mandatory government school, or the mandatory government school and the media, every single channel, government is legitimate, government is legitimate, government is legitimate, until as an adult, you can step back and you may never encounter that idea because it’s the biggest secret the government wants to keep from you and the bankers want to keep from you and the system wants to keep from you is the idea that it is illegitimate on its face. It is impossible to have a moral, logical, legitimate government. There’s no way to do it with a constitution. There’s no way to do it with a coronation. There’s no way to do it with a ceremony. There’s no way to do it with an election. There’s no way to have a moral, legitimate government. That’s the thing they don’t want you to know, but you really have to be able to step back from what you were indoctrinated as a kid with what this, and we’ll talk about, and not just indoctrinated as a kid, but they’ve been, as I break down in the new book, to see the cages, to leave it, it’s the media coming in on every single channel, and not just it’s the government is legitimate, the government is legitimate, the government is legitimate, but they’re actually running tricks with the media to give you a warm and fuzzy about the government. By doing things like product placing the American flag at moments of high positive emotion, always making the government the hero, the government’s always saving the day, the CIA is, you know, thank God for the CIA, otherwise there would be nuclear bombs going off in every city on the planet on a pretty regular basis if it wasn’t for the CIA. The FBI is saving the day. There’s a movie last Christmas season about a TSA guy that saves a city from a nerve gas attack. It’s ridiculous. The government is making itself the hero, controlling the information the population receives. And here’s the big reveal. I’ll just give it away to the audience. They’re presenting government as a religion. where the state is the god and they’re not calling it a religion but they’re using all the tricks and techniques of an unethically manipulative religion to get people to go along with government, including, like I said, these unethically manipulative techniques where they’re having Hollywood weave the government’s legitimacy, desirability, and necessity into both movies, television shows, popular culture. They’re putting it into your social media feeds. They’re putting things like You know, Lee Greenwood singing, thank God I’m an American, at least I know I’m free, into your social media feeds. They’re suggesting government sponsored books for you. They’re in every place you look around and you probably have never noticed it. But the magic of the book, to see the cages, to leave it, is it’s very picture-oriented. And once you see it, and once you recognize, oh man, I’ve just never noticed. One of the things the book does is you can’t even just flip through it without going, I’ve never noticed that pattern. I’ve never noticed. That’s what’s going on. Is that what you found?Dr. Barre Lando: That was the brilliance of your first book, “Government” – The Biggest Scam. I had that on my coffee table. They’re wonderful coffee table books. I had people come over, a couple in-laws I’m thinking of in particular, that are pretty brainwashed. They could listen to me and they’d just write me off as a whack job when I just try to present some possibilities. know that they might think about but then you start thumbing through this book and it’s very picture-oriented and you know it really caught the attention of a lot of people that would come through my house now in similar fashion I was holding this up before Your latest book is wonderful in the same way. Maybe would you like to go through the 25 techniques? I know it would take a long time to go through all of them, and you’ve already hit on a good number of them, but let’s open up the book. For instance, you were talking about how they debauched the currency. And everything that you were talking about, you know, is here with nice imagery and very easy to understand that, you know, for people that don’t want to read Federal Reserve publications, it actually tell you what they’re actually doing to rob us. And because they know nobody’s going to read that stuff. So here it is right here. Just I’m going to the page where the 25 techniques. So should we go through those? You can take them in any order and maybe highlight and talk about them?Etienne de la Boetie2: Sure. Well, absolutely. Technique number one is the mandatory government school, if I remember correctly. The mandatory government school, we’re going to take kids when they’re young, before they’re old enough to really understand what’s being done with them. And we’re going to put them into a mandatory government school where the teacher, the priest, so you can think of the government school as the church. You can think of the public school teacher as the priest, where she’s going to teach the children about the holy documents of the Constitution. where she is going to have them pledge their allegiance to a kind of common prayer to the flag. There’s going to be a social, you know, it’s going to be, it’s going to be, you know, like all the other kids are doing it, so surely you want to do it too. It’s hard. There’s a social pressure to, you know, to participate. They’re going to sing the hymns of the national anthem and the Star Spangled Banner. When they’re in middle school, they will be taken to Washington, D.C., Mecca, okay, the holy city, and they will be taken to the Capitol, which is a carbon copy of the Vatican for a reason. So there, you know, it is a cathedral towards government, to the god of government. And government is presented not as a tool to take care of, to protect life, liberty, and property. Government is presented as something that you would pray to by voting. So voting is kind of like the equivalent of prayer to make the world the way that you want it to be. to protect you from the potential of not having money in your old age, or not having money as a single mom, or whatever it is. Government is the supernatural entity that is going to protect you against all of the harms of the world that might befall you. And all you have to do is be willing to participate and promote this system, which is going to rob and extort money from your friends, your neighbors, and your relatives, and it will give you that money and it will transfer it to you. And as a middle schooler, it blows your mind. I still remember going to these school trips to the capitals and to the you know, and you’re away from your parents for the first time, and it’s like great fun, and they’re going to take you into the temples, the monuments, and they’re going to show you the deities of Lincoln and Jefferson, and it’s going to be very hushed, and it’s going to be very reverent, and you’re going to be kind of subsumed into this system.Dr. Barre Lando: You could think of it almost as a form of idolatry, can’t you?Etienne de la Boetie2: Well, it is, it is idolatry because government is presented as the God that if you, if you worship it, if you pray to it, that it will give you what you want. Okay. Whether, you know, it’s going to provide for you in your old age, it’s going to provide for you in your time of need. It’s going to take care of you when you’re sick. Dr. Barre Lando: You have a lot of wonderful quotes.Etienne de la Boetie2: Yeah, it is. It is a hundred percent idolatry. And I’ve got a link, uh, the, both of the books are supported by a, uh, a credit card-sized flash drive that we call the liberator. And this is what it looks like. And so on this book, we actually have a book put out by the Libertarian Christian Institute called The Idolatry of Statism, where they actually break down chapter and verse.Dr. Barre Lando: I have mine right here.Etienne de la Boetie2: There you go. Oh, you have a 32. We’re up to 64 gigs.Dr. Barre Lando:Oh, I’m behind. OK.Etienne de la Boetie2: I will get you one. Thanks. I’ll get you one out, one of the new ones out. These are brilliant.Dr. Barre Lando: These are amazing.Etienne de la Boetie2: And in addition to books like The Idolatry of Statism, we’ve got documentaries, and we’ve got truth music from the Liberty Movement’s hottest artists, and we’ve got memes, and we’ve got short videos, and it’s just chock full of everything that is being censored off the internet. And it’s a way of making sure that some of this evidence of government illegitimacy and evidence of government criminality doesn’t go anywhere. And then once you have a liberator, you are authorized and encouraged to make copies, free copies for your friends. And so a lot of people, you know, I run into a lot of people that come up to me at conferences or events and they’re like, hey, I discovered your work. Because we were at a Liberty meetup and somebody came in and they threw down 30 flash drives and everybody got one. That’s how I discovered your work. And so there’s no way to stop, like the good news, I guess the good news part of my message is there’s no way to stop the signal in the information age. There’s no way that, you know, they can, they can try and they can, Deplatform you they can be monetize you they can be index you but we’re we’re figuring out ways of getting around that censorship even if it’s sneaker netting, you know, it’s a brilliant system. It really works. But that is the so that is the core of it. The number one technique is the government school system. And that’s really a whole bunch of other techniques. So there’s a whole bunch of techniques assumed under that because when you’re in the government school system, they’re going to run techniques on your kids like collective punishment. public shaming. They’re going to use the red, yellow, green troublemaker board to where if you talk out of turn, you know, you go, they’re going to move your child’s name from the green part of the board to the yellow part of the board. And if he talks again, he goes to the red part of the board and they’ll put him at the quiet table, which is really the public shaming table in the center of the of the cafeteria during lunch where he’s there by himself and is kind of in the middle of this. It’s like the equivalent of the town stops.Dr. Barre Lando: Talk about abuse. I grew up in the old school system where the nun just broke a ruler over the back of your knuckles, but it’s evolved quite a bit since then it seems like.Etienne de la Boetie2: Well, I had a football coach that would paddle us with a paddle that had air holes in it, and you would get popped. I grew up in Texas and we had corporal punishment. You’re going to do what the government employee tells you, and if you don’t do what the government employee tells you, then they will hit you with a paddle that has air holes in it, wielded by the football coach.Dr. Barre Lando: And talk about football as being one of their theatrics that, you know, get us into the whole militaristic mindset. You know, I played college and one of the teams we played in the season was University of Texas. We go to Austin Stadium and boy, you go and there’s 110,000 people and they’re rolling out the American flags and jets are flying overhead. And it’s quite a show. And then, of course, the Football camp is run just like a military basic training sort of thing. And yes, sir, no, sir. And yeah, it’s pretty incredible. And we love to go see the Gladiators.Etienne de la Boetie2: I played football too. I didn’t play in college, but I played in high school. And so I’m a fan of football. I love the game, but I just want you to know, but I’m also, you know, I realize now kind of like what was going on and we’re going to get the best and the brightest and we’re going to crash them together in a way. almost designed to produce brain damage. And what’s being done today, especially at the NFL level, is the football team becomes the artificial tribe. And so human beings are very, very tribal. And so your real tribe is your family and your neighbors and your church. and your people that you work with, that’s your real tribe. And so they don’t want you spending time and focused on your real tribe and how y’all can all grow together and how y’all can all support each other and how you can all… you know, help each other, whether it’s co-garden or whether it’s, you know, uh, you know, help somebody start a business or whether it’s, you know, takes care of somebody that’s, that maybe needs their house repaired in the community. They don’t want you focused on that because that’s the things that bring people together and strengthen the community and strengthen the tribe and strengthen everything. They would much rather have you focused on this artificial tribe, where you’re taking a solid part of your weekend and you’re wasting it watching, frankly, adults play children’s games. But this monopoly system is going to go ahead and make that seem like that’s masculine and that’s what you’re supposed to do if you’re a man and that’s how you spend Saturday and Sunday afternoon. You don’t talk about you don’t talk about politics and religion during Thanksgiving, you, everybody just watches a piece of furniture. And so like that is, that is part of the way that it’s been indoctrinated into the system. I still love to play the game. I like to watch a game as much as anybody else, but I try and keep that piece of the pie, that entertainment piece of the pie. at the kind of right proportion that it should be in it doesn’t you know that that piece of the pie doesn’t take up the entire plate it’s just a little sliver and I you know and I get a little bit of it like like you would have candy. And that’s the if everybody did that we’d be a lot better off as a city.Dr. Barre Lando: Yeah, and we could uh, Enjoy ourselves in the game and there’s there’s no harm in that So you have 25 of these and uh, you know, it’d take a long time to go through all them But we have number two government affiliated scouting programs three junior reserve officer four police training five military basic training Any of those that you’d like to highlight and then we can go through a few more after that or anything after that?Etienne de la Boetie2: If you take a look at the government’s mandatory school system is going to produce a taxpayer that is going to tithe and is going to semi-voluntarily hand over 50% of their income to the cult to the cult leadership and they’re going to gather around the pope of the religion, the president. And a lot of people are going to invest part of their identity in the leader. And so one of the things I break down further in the book is that human beings are biologically predisposed to have a strong leader. And so because we were just talking about the tribal nature of human beings and in the artificial tribe, it has been an advantage to have a strong leader. And so what the system will do is present you a blue leader or a red leader. The red leader is designed to appeal to kind of rural conservatives. The blue leader is designed to appeal to kind of urban liberals. Okay. And they’re going to give you what’s known as a Hobson’s choice. The Hobson’s choice is a fake choice. Old man Hobson ran a livery stable and you could rent any horse you wanted as long as it was the one closest to the door. So the term Hobson’s choice means no choice at all. And so you can either have blue government leader or you can have red government leader and then that’s going to be the pope of the artificially indoctrinated religion. And then a lot of people, because there is a biological desire to have a leader, they get themselves invested. And you can see it. It’s cult-like. It’s the leader of the cult. You can see people in the MAGA movement. You can see them exhibiting the classic. textbook examples of cult followers doing cult things, whether it’s wearing the red MAGA hat, whether it’s putting the bandage over the ear after his fake assassination attempt, whatever it is that, you know, it’s wearing the the flag, you know, wearing symbolically the flag of the system that is enslaving and controlling them.Somewhat humorously in many occasions, as you can see in the book of of people literally dressing themselves in the American flag and so you can so once you see it that’s really what the book is designed to do is is you cannot flip through the book and not realize what’s going on and then once you see it, you can never ever unsee it. Most people, not everybody, if you’re getting your paycheck from the government, if you’ve been through Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, Junior ROTC, ROTC, military training, and in some cases police training after that, there’sDr. Barre Lando: You can’t, you can’t really be, you know, you’re not, you know, in my demographic, I hear the excuse a lot, you know, because everybody’s on social security or some kind of retirement and they can’t buck the system because they’re dependent on it. But as things get exposed and some people are actually willing to look at information, it does breed a bit of ambivalence in people. But then what I hear from my peers is that, well, I’m too old to do anything about it and I can’t change at this point. So they count on everybody going along even when they know that it’s a big scam. But I think the younger generation coming up, whatever they call them, X, Z, whatever, they’re, you know, there’s the folks that unfortunately get in the college system, they might be gone forever. But there’s a lot of youngsters that are really questioning things now. And it gives me hope. And also, I look at my own kids. We brought them up at home, birthed them at home, homeschooled them. Now they have kids. They’ve done the same exact thing. And so there is a number of kids coming up that really give us promise if the present government doesn’t do something to succeed in trying to kill everybody, which is exactly what they’re trying to do right now. So, we’ve got information by the military, number six, intelligence, you got into CIA.Etienne de la Boetie2: Let’s go back to the military. Yeah, I want to just, because I like, it’s a really, you know, the Cub Scouts and the Boy Scouts and the Explorers and the JROTC is a really core piece of it that most people never give a second thought to. And I was a Cub Scout. I was a Boy Scout. And so I like to say that scouting, like rat poison, rat poison is 99% delicious food. Otherwise, the rats wouldn’t eat it. But at the core of scouting is a hidden curriculum of the flag worship of the pre-militarization of getting you into the uniform. And so it’s a government-sponsored affiliated youth program where the kids are going to receive awards, either Cub Scout Adventure Loops or Boy Scout Merit Badges for regurgitating the doctrine of the religion And then again, there’s going to be social pressure placed on them to participate. Everyone is constantly doing flag ceremonies and pledging allegiance to the flag, and they’re learning how to … You can’t throw the flag away when it’s done. You’ve got to bury the flag. You’ve got to burn the flag in a ceremony, and then a lot of times the ashes are then ceremonially buried. And so they’re going to create this reverence for the government, and they’re going to give kids awards for regurgitating the doctrine of the religion, and they’re going to run these unethically manipulative techniques on the kids while they’re in there, like the uniform. And so uniform means single form. And what it is, is it’s replacing an individual identity with a group identity. So now the kids are part of the group, and this is what the group does. And then they pile on, they create a kind of artificial group pressure for everybody to go along within the group. And then a lot of people don’t realize, but especially now in the modern age, a lot of these kids, scouting has become a parking lot for autistic kids. And so the brain damage of the mercury and aluminum-laced vaccines has produced all of these kids that don’t socialize well with other kids. And so a lot of the kids that are in scouting today, they’ve been put there because that’s the way that their parent, the mom, the single mom can get their kid to play with other kids. and be assured that the kid is going to get some time with other kids and get friends with other kids.Dr. Barre Lando: Interesting. Yeah, I hadn’t considered that.Etienne de la Boetie2: You’ve got brain damaged kids that are being put through these techniques and then they come out and they go into the military where they have that same, so they’ve been indoctrinated into the love of the uniform. They’ve been conditioned into hierarchical command and control from kind of like a young age. They’re participating in all of the flag worship and they’re, you know, they’re being, you know, forced to learn, like a cookie at the end, the, you know, citizenship in the world, citizenship in the nation are two of the merit badges that you have to get. It’s not even, they’re not even the mandatory ones. It’s not even the, you know, the optional ones. It’s the mandatory ones that you have to get. And then once you regurgitate that, they give you the cookie of the Cub Scout Adventure Loop or the Merit Badge. But that system is ultimately going to produce what is known as an order follower. And so the government school produces the taxpayer that’s willing to semi-voluntarily tithe and, you know, believes in the idea of the state and the government and everything like that, the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, JROTC, ROTC, that’s going to produce an order follower that’s willing to set their morality aside and use violence for the government on peaceful people. In the military, we’re going to go abroad and kill whoever we’re told. And in the police force, we’re going to use violence on peaceful people either to enforce the morality of the religion, we’re going to arrest people for things that aren’t really crimes, victimless crimes like smoking a plant or gambling or whatever, you know, like things that we’re going to, we’re going to use violence on people to arrest them for things that aren’t really crimes, which then compacts the police into an unhealthy dynamic because they’re really the criminals because they’re using. So again, they’re violating natural law. They’re creating harm in society. They’re doing wrongs. Okay. And so that compacts them into an unhealthy group dynamic, or they’re going to raise revenue for the government and the police force by doing road piracy and pulling people over for, you know, victimless crimes, trying to search their car. trying to find the end of a joint so that they can confiscate the vehicle, or finding thousands of dollars, or whatever it is. So they’re going to rob their neighbors for the government. And the system that produces that is the Cub Scouts, Weeblos, Boy Scouts, Explorers, JROTC, ROTC, and then police and military training. Final thing on that is if you’re not, You know, a lot of people don’t even realize this, but there’s, after Boy Scouts, there’s a program called Explorers. And there’s either, there’s police explorers, there’s secret service explorers, there’s military explorers. And so now, this is, now the kids are gonna be segmented off, away from the rest of society. They’re gonna go, in the summertime, they’re gonna go to military bases, where they’re gonna be put into the uniform, they’re gonna have their head shaved, they’re gonna be compacted into this. You know, there’s other unethically manipulative techniques that the military will run, you know, once you get into the military. But they start it on the explorers. On the police side, they’ll be given uniforms, like little mini police uniforms. They’ll begin doing ride-alongs with the police officers. And so a lot of people don’t realize that this is going on. A lot of people don’t realize that the government’s running high schools where the entire curriculum is the government or the Marine Corps or the military. And so these kids are coming up and they’re being subjected to these unethically manipulative techniques that’s all woven around allegiance to government and being willing to kill for government and being willing to use violence. on their friends and family and neighbors for the government and people don’t think about it, you know, about like what’s really going on, I break it all down in the book. I could have, like, you know, I use, you know, police, like military training is one technique, but actually there’s, in that one article on the techniques that the military is using, you know, there’s probably a dozen, I probably listed over a dozen like little sub techniques in addition to the uniform and the shaving of the head and the, you know, the, but like, you know, it’s sleep deprivation. It’s, uh, it’s collective punishment. It’s the, it’s the, if you, if you’ve seen full metal jacket, you know, you’ve seen the blanket party and blanket party is where they take the nonconforming and they’ll hold them down on their bunk and everybody else in the platoon or the training regiment or whatever it is will come and they’ll either wrap a towel a soap bar and a towel to make a flail. A flail is something that you swing and it hits you. It’s called a blanket party.Dr. Barre Lando: And if they really don’t like you, it’ll be a lock in a sock.Etienne de la Boetie2: And so the soap bar and the towel hurts like hell, but the lock in the sock is the one that if they really don’t like you, you know, you’re being beaten with a padlock in a sock as a flail. And it still goes on today. I have a friend of mine’s son, they did it to his son. And so I know for a fact it still goes on today. It’s not just something in the movies. And so these are just a few, just a small handful of the unethically manipulative techniques that they’re using on the police and the military to get them to use violence for the government, either to raise revenue or to go abroad and murder people in these wars that are for resources and stealing oil and whatever is the lie of the day of why we’re going to war.Dr. Barre Lando: Yeah, and World War II was really the genesis of all this, where, you know, my dad came back from World War II. He was Air Force, and they were really believing that they fought a just war and did good things. Now, in hindsight, we realize it goes a little deeper than that. I grew up hearing about, well, to be a man you should go to the military and become disciplined and that’s the way you do it. So it continues all the way into the extremes that you’re speaking on as far as what has evolved too. I think we’re right there. We look at other countries, like overt communist countries, and it’s still couched in the Constitution and freedom, but what’s the difference between ourselves and a communist state?Etienne de la Boetie2: That’s a fascinating point that you just brought up, because one of the things I broke down in “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History as you know, is that there is a playbook of techniques. The new book focuses on the religious aspect of it, but all of these techniques are being used by the so-called bad countries as well. In “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History I looked at 20 techniques And then I looked at it, you know, what it was in Nazi Germany, what it looked like in East Germany, what it looked like in the Soviet Union, and what it looked like in the United States. And so on each page, you know, you can see the technique. And then, you know, you’re left scratching your head because, well, wait a minute. We’re the good guys. Why are we using the same techniques as the Nazis, the Soviets, or the East Germans? And you realize, hey, wait, it is. It’s a playbook. You can’t flip through the book and not understand that this is a playbook. Most people are visual learners. They come to insight very, very quickly. And so once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And whether, you know, like, let’s let’s let the boogeyman of today, you know, Iran and North Korea and Russia, what what what techniques are they running on their own tax slaves and on their own populations are running mandatory government schools. They’re running government-affiliated youth programs. They’re running, you know, they’ve got their equivalent of the Boy Scouts and the Explorer program. They’ve got their equivalent of the JROTC and the ROTC. They’ve got their own, like it’s the exact same program even in the bad countries. And once somebody goes through the program, then you’ve got somebody that’s willing to goose step You’ve got somebody that’s willing to use violence on their neighbors. You’ve got somebody that’s not able to really think because they’ve been controlling the information that they receive. They’ve moved them off to a military base. They control the information to them. They’ve run all these unethically manipulative techniques on them. They’ve shot them full of vaccines. They can’t think straight. Uh, you know, now you’ve got, uh, you’ve got a force that is willing to, you know, uh, you know, willing to, you know, in the case of like what ice is doing right now is willing to go and scoop up people in the middle of the night and. and black bag them into vehicles. And I think they’re just getting the population used to having goons on the street that will scoop up people.Dr. Barre Lando: No doubt about it. No doubt about it. And one of the main planks of communism is primary is the abolition of private property, which has been achieved in our country by attaching a warranty deed to our homes, which means we don’t own it anymore. So I would challenge anybody to read the Ten Planks of Communism and find one deviation from how we do things in America.Etienne de la Boetie2: And to that point as well, so the banks trick people into these mortgages, they create the mortgage, create the money out of thin air, and then when you can’t pay, even if you’ve paid you know, 29 years on your 30 year mortgage or I guess 49 years on your 50 year mortgage and you’ve already paid two to three times. the amount that you borrowed in interest and you can’t make those final payments, who’s going to come and take that house? It’s going to be the people that they’ve run through these unethically manipulative programs. They will come and they will take your house. because they’re order followers and they’re going to set their morality aside and all they can do is follow orders and this is how they’ve set the system up and this is how they do it. And so now you’ve paid 29 years or 49 years on your mortgage, you’ve more than paid for the house on a loan that they created out of thin air that they made up out of whole cloth and whatever. and they’ll take your house and now they have real wealth and you’re now homeless and the guy that did that for them is this guy that went through the Cub Scouts, the Weeblos, the Boy Scouts, the Explorers, the JROTC, the ROTC and had all of these dozens and dozens and dozens of manipulative techniques unethically manipulative techniques run on them to produce someone that would do that deed for them and steal your house.Dr. Barre Lando: So we’ve run through a good number of the overt methods that are utilized. Number 10 could start off, you know, we’re kind of implying this all along, but number 10 is subliminal programming. Would you like to comment on that at all?Etienne de la Boetie2: So a lot of the things that come out of Hollywood, there’s a lot of subliminals in them without you knowing. And so I think the one that you’re talking about is subliminal text. And there’s a sign-off message from the 1960s. And for the younger members of your audience, I had to explain what a sign-off message was. But in the old days of television, television wasn’t 24 seven. And at the end of the broadcast day, around 1 o’clock or 2 o’clock in the morning, there would be the sign-off message. And the sign-off message was always government propaganda. It was always, generally, it was the flag flying. And it would be heroic landscapes and Indians and American iconography and everything. And so this particular one from the 1960s has the text. of the Star Spangled Banner is being, you know, scrolling across the bottom of the screen as somebody’s singing the Star Spangled Banner. And you gotta understand at one o’clock, two o’clock in the morning, most people are in kind of an alpha state, and that’s a brainwave state where information flows into the brain uncritically. It’s just accepted by the brain. There’s no cognitive processing to it. And so these messages are scrolling as the words of the Star Spangled Banner are scrolling off the screen. Other words are flashed on the screen as it scrolls off. And the messages that are being flashed on the screen is, government is God, obey God, government. Rebellion won’t be tolerated. you know, messages like government is God. And so that, so the, so the God again, so it’s, you know, the, the, the title, the subtitle of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History is “How inter-generational organized crime runs the government, media and academia”. So they’re controlling the information that comes to you, including putting subliminal text into your feed, okay, when you’re in an alpha state and when information is flowing in uncritically, and so they’re telling you that government is God and that rebellion won’t be tolerated and obey the government, and they’re doing it in an unethically manipulative trick. So they’re running a trick on you. And then some of the other kind of, you know, like I guess some of the modern equivalents is the product placement of the flag. And so some of the other techniques that I cover in the book are, you know, there’s a documentary that breaks down a lot of academic scholarship around the fact that Hollywood, that the government is paying Hollywood to weave pro-government messages into movies and television shows. Sometimes this is done by, you know, providing them with, you know, millions and millions or tens of millions of dollars worth of military equipment, the F-18s for, you know, for Top Gun Maverick, the carriers, the military bases to shoot on. And in exchange, the directors are weaving the American flag, product placing it in moments of high positive emotion, and they’re changing their scripts. The other thing that the documentary is called Theaters of War, and you can actually, in the book, there’s a number of different short videos, and you can just QR code scan with your phone a page from the book, or if you’re in the the EPUB version of the book, you can click on that video and it will actually play the trailer for this documentary, Theaters of War. But Theaters of War breaks down over 1,000 movies and over 1,000 television shows in which the government has had some kind of input into the creative process, frequently exerting script control and changing history in many cases. So when you see war, you know, portrayed on screen, you’re seeing a sanitized version; you’re not going to see the My Lai massacre.

From the Sunshine State, I’m Greg Carlwood. And though we have it drilled into our heads from an early age that we live in the best nation that ever was, the land of the free, blessed with God-given rights that make the rest of the world envious, with an easy path towards sleepwalking our way through the American dream, you still have to wonder, is any of it really true? And how few even ever ask that question.When you take a look under the hood, what really makes this American hot rod run is a cold, harsh engine of exploitation interlocking gears of cradle-to-grave cogs in a loud, harsh machine spewing toxic sludge and leaving many exhausted, beaten-down individuals choking on fumes as it redlines its way to the scrap heap.

They are calling it “Familiar Faces.”Whenever a person buys a cloud based Amazon product, they are automatically brought into the Amazon sidewalk network, which includes geospatial data that can track objects in the neighborhood without the need for its own network or GPS module.Amazon Ring security cameras have made a deal with Flock Safety, which will allow the police to more easily gain access to your home security cameras, and your neighborhood Amazon Sidewalk network.Flock Safety’s founder and CEO, Garrett Langley, whose name just coincidentally translates to Watchtower of the CIA, wants to rid the world of crime.Flock was founded by Langley in 2017 and set their cameras up in a few test cities before the 2020 lock-down, during which, setting up Flock cameras all over the nation was considered essential.

To be unmasked as an Epstein crony is about the most embarrassing revelation for a public figure one can imagine at this moment, and sure enough, former treasury secretary and Harvard president Larry Summers, who exchanged scores of emails with the convicted pedophile, has seen his reputation shredded. The emails disclosed that Summers consulted Epstein for dating, or rather bedding, advice. Summers apparently thought Epstein was the guy who could help him to “get horizontal” with a woman mentee, though Summers was a married man and remains so. At the same time, he sought financial contributions from Epstein for an online poetry project his wife was launching.Continue readingNew Poll Reveals Strong Majority of Americans Believe Higher Education is a Scam – All Debt and No Job Skillsby Mike LaChanceEtienne Note: The organized crime government’s tax-supported colleges and universities are the worst.

Military families, the people who have spent their careers saluting the flag and building lives around deployments, are being caught up in ICE enforcement the moment they try to do things “the right way.” The shock is coming from their green card interviews, which are the final checkpoint for spouses seeking legal permanent residency. Instead of leaving with an approval, some are going in handcuffs!And for veterans, it feels personal. “I kind of feel betrayed, to be honest,” retired Marine Staff Sergeant Samuel Shasteen told NBC San Diego. He gave 20 years to the Corps, including two deployments to Afghanistan. The government knows all of that because it’s literally in the application paperwork. Yet during his wife, Chanidaphon Sopimpa’s, final interview with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on November 18, 2025, some ICE agents walked in and cuffed her. They took her away as she cried.Continue reading‘Kill everybody’: Bombshell Pete Hegseth order blasted by lawmakers as ‘blatantly illegal’By Travis GettysDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly delivered an order in the first attack on a suspected drug boat that lawmakers have blasted as excessive and “blatantly illegal.”President Donald Trump’s Pentagon chief ordered a missile attack on the boat Sept. 2 off the Trinidad coast, but intelligence analysts and military leaders watching drone footage of the strike realized after the smoke cleared there were two survivors clinging to the wreckage – and the Washington Post reported that Hegseth gave another verbal directive.“The order was to kill everybody,” said a source with direct knowledge of the situation.The Special Operations commander overseeing the attack ordered another strike at Hegseth’s instruction, and the two men were blown apart in the water – which a former military lawyer said “amounts to murder.”Continue readingFDA Begins Admitting the Covid “Vaccines” Killed People – They Start by Admitting 10 Dead KidsBREAKING As Five Meme Friday Goes to Press: FDA Expands Probe Into COVID Vaccine-Related Deaths to Include AdultsThe FDA is expanding its investigation into reports of deaths following COVID-19 vaccines to include adults, after initially looking into the deaths of children who received the vaccine. The agency did not provide details about the investigation, first reported by Bloomberg.by Sasha Latypova, Nov 30th, 2025Etienne Note: As Sasha notes in the article, there are HUNDREDS of dead kids in the Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System (VAERS) database. There is a well-recognized Under Reporting Factor (URF) in VAERS where the that is conservatively between 40-100 (multiply the 10 admitted kids AND/OR the hundreds of kids in VAERS by 40 – 100 to get closer to the actual number.

It is now ok to say that they were killed by these poison shots. Robert Malone, a deep state plant and a known liar, penned a celebratory post about this development at the FDA, called it a “revolution” and implied he has secret info he can’t disclose because he is too important.

But if Tesla’s latest charging station is any proof, almost anything is possible with enough solar panels and stationary batteries.On Tuesday, Tesla announced that all Superchargers are now open for business at its largest charging station ever. The 164-stall location in Lost Hills, California, is powered by 11 megawatts of solar panels, which double as a canopy that shades the parking spots. Those panels feed 10 of the automaker’s utility-scale Megapack batteries, for a total of 39 megawatt-hours of energy storage.By comparison, a typical fast-charging location has anywhere from four to 20 stalls, with Tesla leading the pack on larger installations.

With zero promotion and no publisher behind it, a book suddenly appeared online—for free. The author was known only to a small circle in finance. He’d worked for several successful hedge funds in the late ’90s, eventually branching out on his own, and at one point ranked among the best-performing fund managers during the dot-com crash. But that was decades ago, and aside from a few friends who received the manuscript, its release went almost entirely unnoticed—at first. Yet within its pages was what could be the most disturbing and consequential revelation in financial history: a mechanism meticulously constructed with absolute precision—one that, if triggered, would enable the greatest looting of wealth ever recorded. Period.The book’s first public recognition came a week after its release, on September 1st, 2023, when Matt Smith discussed it with Doug during an episode of Doug Casey’s Take. They had both read it at this point and described it as an extremely disturbing book. The title was The Great Taking and, after outlining its basic premise, both Matt and Doug agreed that the implications—if correct—were terrifying. As a fan of the show, I saw the episode a few days after its release, and their exchange was all it took for me to immediately download the book and read it. Matt and Doug deserve a tonne of credit for being the first to realize the books significance, and discuss it on air.Continue readingA Smartphone Before Age 12 Could Carry Health Risks, Study SaysBy Catherine PearsonWhat is the “right” age to get your child a smartphone? It’s a question that vexes many parents — torn between their pleading tweens and researchers who warn about the potential harms of constant connectivity. But new study findings strengthen the case for holding off.The study, published in the journal Pediatrics on Monday, found that children who had a smartphone by age 12 were at higher risk of depression, obesity and insufficient sleep than those who did not yet have one. Researchers had analyzed data from more than 10,500 children who participated in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study — the largest long-term look at children’s brain development in the United States to date.The younger that children under 12 were when they got their first smartphones, the study found, the greater their risk of obesity and poor sleep. The researchers also focused on a subset of children who hadn’t received a phone by age 12 and found that a year later, those who had acquired one had more harmful mental health symptoms and worse sleep than those who hadn’t.Continue readingSilver is going to far outperform gold, and here’s whyby Matt BrackenGold is going much higher (actually, the dollar is diving much lower), but silver is going to outperform gold by multiples. Why?For several reasons, the gold to silver ratio is going to trend back down toward the historical norms.Gold is going to rise as the dollar falls. That’s a given.But silver is going to rise MUCH faster and higher than gold.Most of the analysts who study precious metals are missing a huge part of the picture, in my humble and inexpert opinion.They correctly note reasons #1 and #2 below, but they totally miss the so-far unseen #3.So what does conventional wisdom say is driving the price of silver upward?1. Silver as the secondary monetary metal, behind gold. As the dollar falls, both will rise, obviously.2. Silver as a metal needed in modern industry. You can’t build a missile, a jet or an EV car without silver. And unlike gold, when silver is used in this way, it’s gone, lowering the world supply. And you can’t just “open up a new silver mine” and start extracting more silver. This takes years, at great cost and effort.Everybody acknowledges #1 and #2 in the current rise of the value of silver. But they are missing the third and forgotten leg of the stool. What is #3?3. Silver as an everyday means of retail exchange. As the dollar collapses in value, more and more people will begin to use silver to make purchases. This will begin at farmers markets and swap meets. It will spread to other retail outlets which will accept silver, with its steady value, in lieu of dollars, as a hedge against inflation.Continue readingNew Poll Reveals Strong Majority of Americans Believe Higher Education is a Scam – All Debt and No Job Skillsby Mike LaChanceEtienne Note: The organized crime government’s tax-supported colleges and universities are the worst. Part of the “control of perception” program we outline in “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History! They are price-supporting worthless public colleges where the professors can be counted on to never question the legitimacy or reveal the criminality of “government,” push woke DEI agendas, and provide six figure jobs (Sinecures) for “government” operatives. Ex-Dept of Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano’s annualbase salary as President of the University of California (UC) system was consistently $570,000 from her start date in September 2013 until her resignation in August 2020.

I consider it a “must read” for anyone who has ever consumed water or come in contact with fluoride…which I assume is everyone. This is the perfect stocking stuffer for your loved ones this holiday season, or a gift for that person–or city councilor–in your life who can’t seem to find the time to educate themselves about fluoride. The format of the book lends itself to learn about the issue one engaging and shocking story at a time.The newly released anthology, Fluoride Harm: Suppressed Science and Silenced Voices includes 36 chapters from internationally recognized scientists, medical professionals, whistleblowers, journalists, and citizen advocates—including several dentists, doctors, water treatments experts, a former EPA Union President, consumer advocate Erin Brockovich, and the co-founders of FAN, Dr. Paul Connett, PhD and his wife Ellen.Continue readingMissouri Locks the Web Behind a “Harmful” Content ID Checkby Ken MaconStand against censorship and surveillance, join Reclaim The Net.Starting November 30, 2025, people in Missouri will find the digital world reshaped: anyone wishing to visit websites containing “harmful” adult material will need to prove they are at least 18 years old by showing ID.This new requirement marks Missouri’s entry into the growing group of US states adopting age verification laws for online content. Yet the move does more than restrict access; it raises serious questions about how much personal data people must surrender just to browse freely.For many, that tradeoff is likely to make privacy tools like VPNs a near necessity rather than a choice.The law defines its targets broadly. Any site or app where over one-third of the material is classified as “harmful to minors” must block entry until users confirm their age.Continue readingVenezuela Invasion: Iraq War Redux?By Kevin BarrettIf you’ve been following Trump’s build-up for war on Venezuela, and are experiencing feelings of déjà vu—specifically, the uncanny premonition that it’s 2003 all over again—your feelings are fully justified. Like George W. Bush in 2003, Trump is amassing forces off foreign shores in preparation for an invasion of an oil rich sovereign nation. And like his predecessor, Trump is working overtime to sell the war under ludicrously false pretenses.Like Bush Jr. in 2003, Trump is mendaciously hyperventilating about a nonexistent but terrifying-sounding threat. For Bush, it was nonexistent Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. For Trump, it’s another kind of alleged “chemical weapon”: fentanyl. In both cases, the link between the planned US invasion and the pretext is purely imaginary.Continue readingGive Us Your Face or Lose Your Account: AI Age Verification Is Here, and Experts Are WorriedBy Zephin LivingstonSince the internet began, there has been debate about how websites can ensure that explicit content is only accessed by consenting adults. Whether it’s explicit songs on Spotify or outright violence on TikTok, much of this content has been accessible to anyone.With recent legislation such as the UK’s Online Safety Act and similar laws in the US, major internet platforms, including Reddit, Spotify, and YouTube, have introduced AI-powered age verification and estimation tools. Pornhub, whose parent company Aylo owns and operates a number of studios and streaming platforms, has also begun reassessing whether to comply with the age verification laws that have seen it banned in over a dozen US states.The processes for both age verification and estimation involve sending sensitive personal information to the platform you’re trying to access. Age estimation requires a photo or photos of your face; your age will be estimated based on those pictures. Age verification is more precise, but it requires submitting a photo of your government-issued ID, one of the most sensitive documents you can provide to anyone, to the platform.Continue readingThe Complete Fraud of the Fake War on Drugs: A Criminal Exercise for Money, Power, and Controlby Gary D. Barnett“Various “wars on drugs” throughout history have killed millions, enslaved millions more, destroyed families, are usually just thin pretenses for mass incarceration, mass surveillance, ethnic cleansing, population control.”~ Kool A.D.There cannot be a war on drugs, a war on terrorism, a war on crime, a war on poverty, a war on racism, a war on guns, a war on obesity, border wars, and on and on. It seems everything in this country is based on the term war, which means that everything is based on force, and in the end, all war is actually violence against people here and everywhere else. This constant psychological propaganda is meant to frame everything as a ‘war’ in order to market the false need of a government solution. The government causes the problem, reacts to it with metaphorical emergency rhetoric, and then claims to have the solution. This is simply Hegelian Dialectic idiocy, wrapped under the fake protective blanket of fear, urgency, and ‘safety.’ In other words, all are lies and total nonsense.Continue readingWhy is Every Newborn Forced to Get A Hepatitis B Vaccine?by A Midwestern DoStory at a Glance:•The hepatitis B vaccine has been marred by controversy since its inception, particularly since it is now given to every newborn child despite less than one in a million children benefitting from this policy.•Remarkably, much of that controversy (e.g., Congressional hearings, mainstream news programs, and HIV vaccine contamination concerns) has been largely forgotten.•The hepatitis B vaccine has long been associated with autoimmune disorders, particularly demyelinating ones. While the medical community has insisted for over 50 years that this link remains unproven and requires “further research”, evidence demonstrates this process indeed occurs.•While the hepatitis B vaccine has reduced acute cases in high-risk demographics (e.g., intravenous drug users), there is no evidence it has done the same in newborns (as applicable circumstances are incredibly rare) or reduced chronic hepatitis cases.Continue readingThe Link Between Transgenderism and Autismby Tyler DurdenAuthored by Darlene McCormick Sanchez via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),Chloe Cole grew up a tomboy, was diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) by age 7, and referred for autism screening by age 17.Cole began identifying as a boy during adolescence and sought physical changes to match.Doctors readily consented to medical intervention. They prescribed puberty blockers and testosterone at age 13. At 15, surgeons performed a double mastectomy, she told The Epoch Times.But doctors didn’t address her neurological issues first. The same gender specialist who referred her for breast surgery later referred her for autism screening. Cole has described herself as being on the autism spectrum, but said she was never formally diagnosed.Cole is now a leading campaigner against interventions to transition children with gender dysphoria.Continue readingFirst child identified in the FDA’s vaccine-death investigationby Maryanne Demasi, PhDLast week, a leaked FDA memo acknowledged that at least ten children died “after and because of” the Covid-19 vaccine in the United States.None of those children had been identified — until now.One of them is now understood to be Ernesto Ramirez Junior, a 16-year-old from Texas who collapsed and died five days after receiving the Pfizer Covid shot.“Junior,” as he is known, is among the cases at the centre of the FDA’s internal investigation into paediatric deaths following Covid vaccination.For his father, Ernest Ramirez, the past four years have been consumed by grief, tireless campaigning, and what he describes as a “living hell.”Now, for the first time, he believes the FDA has acknowledged what he has always known — the vaccine took his child.“That’s the poison that killed my son,” he told me.Continue readingWorld’s Most Tyrannical Government Wants To Free Venezuela From TyrannyBy Caitlin JohnstonePresident Trump has been holding talks with top advisors this week regarding potential US attacks on Venezuela in order to bring about regime change in yet another oil-rich nation.As the western political/media class frames Venezuela’s President Maduro as a “dictator” who must urgently be removed from power, it is worth noting that any US military operation to remove him would be taking place directly against the will of the American public. A recent CBS News poll found that seventy percent of Americans “would oppose” the US taking military action against Venezuela.So here we have the president of a nation which calls itself a democracy, holding meetings to plan military operations which are completely and unambiguously against the wishes of the electorate, in the name of removing a dictator and spreading freedom and democracy.Continue readingACIP votes 8 to 3 to end the universal recommendation for giving Hep B shots at birth to babies of mothers who test negative.by Steve KirschGreat news. ACIP voted 8 to 3 to end the universal HepB vaccine recommendation for infants under two months.The CDC director still has to approve the recommendation.This shows you VERY clearly that the HepB vaccine is unsafe. A safe vaccine would have death reports with the same height over time; you wouldn’t have a massive peak at 1 week after the shot.Here is the actual vote and the reasoning (which is not evidence based) for the 3 members who voted to keep the recommendations as is:Progress!8 of the 11 ACIP members believe in science and data. The other 3 are stuck in the past.Want to give some gifts that will be remembered for years to come and help your friends, family and colleagues better understand the scam of “Government?”Happy Holidays from the Art of Liberty Foundation!

What Anarchy Isn’t by Larken Rose

What Anarchy Isn’t by Larken Rose

Don’t be too surprised if, after learning what “anarchy” actually means, you end up thinking, “Wait, that’s exactly what I want!”Etienne Note: The Art of Liberty Foundation has the ONLY stock of physical copies of What Anarchy Isn’t by Larken Rose available anywhere at ArtOfLiberty.org/store. Save 20% by using discount code: Liberty20 by midnight on Friday, December 12th. Pro-tip: Get it with Larken’s The Most Dangerous Superstition, Anarchy Exposed, and with both my books in our “Everything Bundle” IntroductionIf you pay attention to the mainstream media, Hollywood movies, or the usual political pundits, then hearing the word “anarchist” probably makes you think of a gang of mask-wearing, bomb-throwing punks—angry, violent vandals doing whatever they can to destroy civilized society. And these days, those who wield political power are going to great lengths—making up stories, instigating conflicts, etc.—to demonize and mischaracterize what “anarchism” really means. The purpose of this little book is to counter the spin and misconceptions.Regardless of your age, education level, income level, or views on culture or religion, don’t be too surprised if, after learning what “anarchy” actually means, you end up thinking, “Wait, that’s exactly what I want!”WHAT ANARCHY ISN’TBy Larken Rose, Illustrated by PoxoddMany people, when they hear the word “anarchy,” think of chaos and mayhem. They therefore assume that anyone who calls himself an “anarchist” must be in favor of disorder and violence. But that is the complete opposite of the truth.Just as the word “monarchy” means “rule by one person,” the word “anarchy” literally just means, “rule by no one.” But even that idea—the idea of a society without a government —makes some people imagine a primitive, savage type of existence, full of violent conflict and without compassion or organization. But that, too, is a completely inaccurate picture of what anarchism meansIn fact, most complaints about anarchism are the result of people misunderstanding what the philosophy is all about. Most people who are scared of “anarchy” are scared of things that anarchists don’t want and don’t advocate.To help correct such misunderstandings, we will use the example of two fictional islands: Authoritania, where there is a ruling class (government), and Anarchia, where there is no ruling class of any kind. These will be used to illustrate what “anarchy” actually means, and what it does not mean.One common misconception about anarchy is that it means “every man for himself” or “survival of the fittest,” where everyone has to be selfish and self-sufficient, where there is no real cooperation or organization, and where people all behave like violent, selfish animals.This comes from the false assumption that there can be no order or structure to society without government—that without some sort of governing political body, people couldn’t and wouldn’t find ways to get along, cooperate and organize for mutual benefit.But in reality, government is never about true cooperation. Whether it is a republic, a democracy, a dictatorship, or some other form, government always constitutes a ruling class which gives commands called “laws” and uses violence to punish anyone who disobeys. That is not cooperation. That is domination. It is one group forcing its will on everyone else and making them obey.Government forces people to fund its ideas by way of “taxation,” and forces people to cooperate with its plans by way of “regulation” and “legislation.” Ultimately, both are enforced by men with guns.In contrast, true cooperation is about people voluntarily working together, of their own free will, without anyone else forcing them to. And people already do this, in thousands of different ways every day, without politicians or “law enforcers” making it happen. So no, obviously cooperation does not require the existence of political power.And while it is true that authoritarianism and government power can be used to force people into various forms of organization, that does not mean that people are incapable of organizing without being forced, which they obviously already do, in many different ways.In fact, the most productive examples of organization are already anarchistic in nature. Consider, for example, your favorite grocery store. Everyone involved in the hugely complex operation of growing, processing, transporting, displaying and selling food participates voluntarily.Customers choose where to shop and what to buy, and all the other people involved—truck-drivers, stock boys, checkout clerks, administrators, etc.—do things in exchange for getting paid. This purely voluntary arrangement allows for an amazingly complex degree of organization and cooperation without anyone being forced to participate. This is literally anarchy in action.In contrast, whenever government does something, a very small group of people (politicians) comes up with an idea and forces everyone else to go along with it. In the authoritarian version of a supermarket, the ruling class would tell people what to produce and how much, and would tell customers what they must buy and what they must pay for it. Anyone who did not comply would be punished in some way. That is how government always does things.(Some anarchists prefer the term “voluntaryist,” because the philosophy is based upon the idea that all human behavior should be based upon voluntary interaction, not force.)Another common but incorrect assumption is that, if there were no government, people would have no way to defend against criminals or foreign invaders. But one does not need a badge or special “authority” to have the right to defend himself or others against attackers and thieves.Everyone already has the right to use defensive force—on his own, or with others for mutual protection. Anarchy means no one has the right to rule (i.e., no one has special rights); it does NOT mean people can’t get together to exercise rights that everyone already has. In a stateless society, even professional protectors would only have the same rights as everyone else.Another concern that some people have is that, if there were no government, then smaller, private gangs would spring up to rob, oppress and enslave people. There are a couple of reasons why this fear is misguided.First of all, even private street gangs and organized crime today exist mainly because of government, not in spite of it. Notice how many gangs today get their funding from trading in illegal “black markets”—drugs, gambling, illegal immigration, prostitution, guns, etc.—which are very lucrative, as well as very dangerous, because of government “laws.” In a free society, thugs and thieves—individually or in gangs— wouldn’t have any “black markets” to take over.More importantly, people who fear that without government, “warlords” would take over, are ignoring how much people’s perceptions matter. A criminal gang which everyone recognizes as illegitimate and immoral has far less power than a gang whose aggression is perceived to be legitimate and “legal”—its commands and demands being called “laws” and “taxes,” and any who disobey being seen as “criminals.”In other words, a population is far more likely to be oppressed by a gang which the people themselves imagine to have the right to rule than by some gang that everyone knows is bad, and that everyone would feel perfectly justified in disobeying and resisting, even forcibly.Imagine a private gang trying to do what government now does—extorting and bossing everyone around—but imagine if they tried that without any aura of legal authority. Then imagine how a well armed population would respond. The gang would fail, quickly and dramatically, and all those who resisted them would be viewed as righteous heroes.But when the people feel morally obligated to obey the politicians’ “laws,” any who resist are viewed as “criminals” or “tax-cheats,” even by their own friends and neighbors. Most people see government domination as necessary and valid, and so they cooperate with their own victimization.That is why government gets away with far more oppression and extortion than private gangs ever could: because most of the victims of “legal” thuggery and theft see it as necessary and legitimate. Millions of people tolerate the confiscation of a huge portion of their earnings and tolerate having many of their choices and behaviors forcibly limited and controlled by way of “legislation,” as long as the people giving the orders are seen as a legitimate political authority.But in a situation where the people don’t accept the idea that someone else has the moral right to rob them and rule them, the people stop cooperating and start resisting.The presence of government drastically increases the chances of people getting robbed—in fact, increases the chances to 100%, since every government “taxes” the people it pretends to “represent.” Meanwhile, the lack of an authoritarian ruling class makes the people far less susceptible to being extorted and dominated, and far more likely to disobey and resist any would-be thieves and thugs.To put it another way, warlords already did take over, called themselves “government,” and convinced their victims that it was righteous and necessary for the warlords to dominate and exploit everyone else, “for their own good.”Relying on government to prevent theft and oppression is completely ridiculous, since government is the biggest thug and thief there is, confiscating far more wealth than all other crooks and criminals combined.And government “protection” is always hypocritical. Government “law enforcers” may sometimes find and lock up some private thugs and thieves, but every government also commits “legalized” theft and extortion itself and calls it “taxation,” while insisting that it needs to do that in order to protect the people from theft and extortion. As patently absurd as that is, most people still accept it without question.When someone first considers the idea of a stateless society, he may also worry that the people who are truly malicious, destructive and sociopathic (and there are such people in the world) would be free to do anything they pleased, with no one to stop them. But this concern is again based on a basic misunderstanding of human nature.People who are willing to victimize others, by their very nature, don’t care about morality, or right and wrong. They don’t care if what they are doing is right, and they also don’t care if what they are doing is legal. They care only whether they can get away with harming others.In some instances, a would-be crook or thug might be deterred or stopped by force (or by the threat of force), whether by someone with a badge or by someone without one. What makes this deterrence work is not the legislation or the official badges, but the simple threat of harm to the crook.A sociopath doesn’t care about laws or social rules; he cares only about avoiding pain and hardship for himself. And that is true regardless of whether government exists or not. It makes no difference whether the threat comes from the police, or another citizen, or even another criminal.Discouraging nasty people from hurting others does not require special “authority,” only the ability and willingness to use defensive force. If the intended target of a would-be carjacker pulls out a gun, it doesn’t make any difference to the car-jacker whether that person has a badge or whether there’s a “law” against taking people’s cars.Without a ruling class, decent people would still have every incentive, ability and right to organize and cooperate to defend against thugs and thieves, and they wouldn’t need any badge, official title, “legislation” or special rights to do so. And, as with any service, people can hire others to help with protection; every person doesn’t have to do it himself.Now, some people might assume that if people organize for mutual protection and defense, then that is government. But that is not at all the case. Political authority is not about people coming together to do something that everyone already has the right to do; political authority is about one group of people claiming the right to do things which normal people do not have the right to do, such as taxing and controlling everyone else.Organized defense can be very effective without anyone claiming any special right to rule—in other words, without having any special “authority” and without being government.Even when there is government, there are still freelance thieves and thugs who are not deterred by the laws of the politicians anyway. But the ultimate irony is that, while so many people hope that government will protect them from common criminals, government itself always ends up being the biggest thug and thief around.To be blunt, creating a huge gang—one far too big and powerful for the average person to resist—and giving that gang societal permission to control and extort everyone else (by way of “law” and “taxes”), in the hope that that gang will prevent theft and thuggery, is a completely absurd idea.Another common objection to the idea of a stateless society (a world without government) is the notion that, if not for a group of “lawmakers” telling the rest of us how to behave, we would all behave like stupid, irresponsible, violent animals.This claim implies one of two things: either we normal people have no idea what is right and wrong unless and until politicians tell us, or the only reason we want to do the right thing and co-exist peacefully is because politicians command us to. A quick examination of your own motivations and behaviors proves that neither of those things is actually true.To argue that only government can make people behave in a civilized manner is particularly odd in a society where politicians are voted into power. If the people themselves have no moral code and no conscience and are just stupid, violent animals, why does almost everyone want government to keep the peace and protect the innocent?Would a population of vicious, heartless, evil people try to elect good people to keep the evil people in line? Obviously not. Human goodness and the desire for order and peace already come from the people, not from the “lawmakers” they vote into office.The same holds true of everything else that the government does. If people are so short-sighted and selfish that they can’t be trusted to voluntarily organize and fund whatever they deem important, then how can those same people be trusted to decide who should be in power? The implication is that the average person can’t be trusted to run his own life, but can be trusted to choose someone to run everyone else’s life.To argue that government is necessary for keeping society peaceful and civilized is to claim that normal people can’t wait to commit evil, but also can’t wait to vote for politicians who will forcibly stop them from committing evil.Contrary to what most of us were taught, government and politics are not a civilizing influence at all. Indeed, political authority is the arch-enemy of peaceful coexistence.People who would never personally rob their neighbors themselves constantly vote for the government to do it for them. People who would never dream of trying to control every detail of their neighbors’ lives think it’s just fine to ask politicians to do exactly that. The game of politics constantly encourages people to use the violence of the state to rob and control other people, without any risk or feeling of guilt for the one who votes for that to happen.Government, rather than serving as a check against the imperfections of our nature, instead drastically amplifies our greed, resentment, irresponsibility and malice, by giving us a “legal,” risk-free way to forcibly interfere with the lives and choices of our fellow man. In short, politics brings out the bully and meddling busy-body in everyone.In contrast, without a ruling class, people wouldn’t be forever asking “lawmakers” to interfere with their neighbors’ lives, and thugs and thieves wouldn’t be able to deny responsibility for their evil deeds by saying they were just following orders.Throughout history, far more theft, assault, oppression, and even murder has been committed by those acting on behalf of “authority” than by anybody else. Even basically good people, when they believe in government, condone things which they know would be wrong if they did them on their own.Most people know that theft and assault are bad, but they imagine that controlling their neighbors and forcing them to pay for things they don’t want is perfectly fine when done by way of the political process. Wrong becomes right when it’s called “taxation,” “legislation,” “regulation” and “war.”Anarchists know better. They know that human society will never be perfect, but that it would be a whole lot better if evil deeds were committed only by genuinely nasty, sociopathic people, rather than being advocated and committed by many millions of basically good people who have been taught to believe that aggression is morally acceptable when it’s called “taxation,” “law enforcement” and “national defense.”Using yourself as an example, how many things have you voted to have government do to your neighbors that you know you would have no moral right to do to them yourself?The fundamental principle of voluntaryism (a more specific term for anarchism) is very simple: it’s wrong to initiate force against any other person, regardless of badges, laws or alleged authority. The only time the use of force is justified is to defend against aggression. (This is known as the Non-Aggression Principle or NAP) The vast majority of people already understand this on a personal level, but they’ve been taught that this basic rule of social living does not apply when it comes to the game of politics and government. Without shame or guilt, everyone who votes asks the ruling class to do things to his neighbors which he knows would be wrong if he did them himself.Most people know how to get along and want a peaceful and just society. Giving up the belief in government doesn’t suddenly turn someone into a violent animal, because our morality doesn’t come from legislation, and our ability to organize and cooperate doesn’t come from any ruling class.Our ability, right and desire to be productive, to help each other, to protect the innocent and to stop the wicked, does not come from government. In fact, it is threatened by government more than by anything else. Indeed, most injustice, oppression and strife—most of “man’s inhumanity to man”—is a direct result of authoritarian political power.Contrary to what politicians pretend, ruling classes do not produce peaceful co-existence. Instead, they intentionally cause perpetual conflict and violence, exploiting our compassion, virtue and good intentions, turning them into wealth and power for the worst people in the world, while crushing the freedom and prosperity of everyone else.Of course, the people who benefit most from the political racket will do their best to convince you that it’s a social necessity. But ask yourself this: have the thousands of laws, regulations and taxes imposed upon you made you a better, more productive and more caring person?Is the world better off with the politicians taking your money and telling you how to live your life? Or would things be better if you were allowed to spend your own money and make your own decisions? Is society really best served by a small class of people forcibly imposing a centralized master plan on everyone else? Can the orders and threats of a ruling class make the world what it should be? Or would society be better served by freedom, a respect for individual rights, voluntary cooperation and peaceful organization? If this second option sounds better to you, maybe you should learn more about anarchism and voluntaryism.People are not perfect, and some are downright malicious and dangerous. And some people mistakenly view anarchism as a utopian idea that would only work if everyone were generous and compassionate. But if people are too stupid, greedy and malicious to be free, aren’t they also too stupid, greedy and malicious to be trusted with power? If you don’t trust some stranger to have control over his own life, why would you trust him to have control over yours?Whether people are inherently good, inherently bad, or some of each, giving a small group of people power and control over everyone else is never the answer.Many still insist, “We need government because people can’t be trusted!”, as if government is anything other than people (some of the worst people around, in fact). And many still believe that obedience to authority is what makes us civilized, when in reality, it does the opposite. Far more evil has been committed in the name of “law” and “authority” than has been committed in spite of it.The ultimate irony is that most people are still desperately hoping to achieve a fair, just, free and prosperous society by way of the very institution that has been responsible for more theft, thuggery, extortion, terrorism, torture and murder than all others combined: “government.”Everyone knows that governments can be corrupt, abusive, inefficient, counter-productive, even tyrannical. But most people still assume that, if only the right people were in charge, that would fix the problem.But over and over again, regardless of who was in power and regardless of the particular arrangement or structure of the political power—a democracy, a republic, a dictatorship, a collective, etc.—history has demonstrated that power corrupts, and that freedom is far more conducive to peace and prosperity than any political solution ever has been, ever could be or ever will be.People have spent centuries trying to create a good society using different kinds of ruling classes, different kinds of legal structures, different ways of choosing rulers, and so on. But without exception, every authoritarian governmental construction has resulted in freedom and riches for a small few, and oppression, violence and poverty for others.What if, instead of deciding what the throne should look like and who should sit on it, all people of good-will embraced the non-aggression principle? What if, instead of looking to a ruling class to forcibly impose our values onto society, we embraced the concept of self-ownership?In a nutshell, anarchists want you to have complete control over your choices, your money and your life. As long as you are not using force or fraud to inflict harm onto others, they want you to have absolute freedom. All they ask is that you treat them the same way.These principles are simple and obvious, to the point of being self-evident. And yet they are diametrically opposed to the authoritarian principles that most of us have been taught.At the end of the day, you need to choose which you want: peaceful coexistence among equals (anarchism), or authoritarian domination, with some ruling over everyone else (“government”). The two are mutually exclusive.Despite what would-be rulers want you to believe, anarchism does not mean chaos and violence, or every man for himself, and having no government doesn’t mean having no morality, no organization and no cooperation. Simply put, anarchism means that no one is your master and that no one is your slave. And that’s all it means.For a more thorough understanding of why a stateless society—based upon voluntary cooperation and organization rather than based upon government force and authoritarian control—is the only moral or rational choice, read The Most Dangerous Superstition.Get What Anarchy Isn’t for 20% off Until Midnight Dec 12th at ArtOfLiberty.org/Store using the discount code: Liberty20What Anarchy Isn’t – A short pamphlet by Larken Rose – author of The Most Dangerous Superstition, that breaks down popular misconceptions about Anarchy and Voluntaryism.

Anatolia was probably the region in which farmers first began to cultivate poppies as an important commercial crop, and the practice is thought to have spread outwards from there. The armies of Alexander the Great are believed to have carried opium into Iran, hence the derivation of the Persian and Arabic words for opium, “afyun,” from the Greek “opion.” The Perso-Arabic terms, in turn, engendered the word “afeem,” widely used across the Indian subcontinent, and Chinese terms “afyon” and “yapian.”A useful analogy in thinking of the social history of opium is that of an opportunistic pathogen, one that goes through long periods of dormancy, affecting very small numbers of people. But when social processes and historical events provide the pathogen with an opportunity, it bursts out to rapidly expand its circulation. With opium this happened in several phases, over centuries, usually in connection with empires. The Mongol Empire, for instance, along with its successor states, played an important role in propagating opium in many parts of Asia in the 15th and 16th centuries. This came about because opium was adopted as a recreational drug by imperial courts and ruling elites; it was not used as an instrument of state policy. The pioneer in that regard was the Dutch East India Company, which made extensive use of opium in its quest for commercial and territorial expansion in Southeast Asia. Yet while the Dutch led the way in enmeshing opium with European colonialism, it was the British in India who perfected the model of the colonial narco-state, when they began to use opium to pay for their imports of Chinese tea, a commodity that produced enormous revenues for Britain in the colonies as well as the metropolis.Continue readingThe Technocratic Trump Administration: The Zionist Infiltration Expandsby Derrick BrozeIn the first two parts of this series, we examined how Donald Trump’s second administration has expanded the use of public-private partnerships and tightened relationships with the Big Technocrats. We also looked at how Trump’s administration is working to force compliance from journalists even as his allies work to consolidate the media, particularly as it relates to the popular app TikTok. The aim of this piece is to outline how these moves serve to further the goals of Trump’s long-term allies in the Zionist movement.As noted in Part 2 of this series, Trump ally Larry Ellison is reportedly involved in an effort to purchase TikTok. Ellison is the founder and CTO of Oracle and one of the world’s richest individuals. In mid-September, The Wall Street Journal reported that Oracle was working with Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz to purchase TikTok as part of Trump’s effort to put the app under US control.Continue readingWhat’s Our Plan for COMMUNICATIONS?by Christopher CookWe are building out plans for our distributed nation: sovereign people in their sovereign spaces, united by shared principles and a desire to be free.

Around 2013, Google’s leadership—specifically Jeff Dean, Jonathan Ross (the CEO of Groq), and the Google Brain team—ran a projection that alarmed them. They calculated that if every Android user utilized Google’s new voice search feature for just three minutes a day, the company would need to double its global data center capacity just to handle the compute load.Continue readingAnthropic’s Claude Opus 4.5 is here: Cheaper AI, infinite chats, and coding skills that beat humansby Michael NuñezAnthropic released its most capable artificial intelligence model yet on Monday, slashing prices by roughly two-thirds while claiming state-of-the-art performance on software engineering tasks — a strategic move that intensifies the AI startup’s competition with deep-pocketed rivals OpenAI and Google.The new model, Claude Opus 4.5, scored higher on Anthropic’s most challenging internal engineering assessment than any human job candidate in the company’s history, according to materials reviewed by VentureBeat. The result underscores both the rapidly advancing capabilities of AI systems and growing questions about how the technology will reshape white-collar professions.The Amazon-backed company is pricing Claude Opus 4.5 at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens — a dramatic reduction from the $15 and $75 rates for its predecessor, Claude Opus 4.1, released earlier this year. The move makes frontier AI capabilities accessible to a broader swath of developers and enterprises while putting pressure on competitors to match both performance and pricing.Continue readingThe ‘But Aluminum in Tea’ Vaxx Industry Lie, Debunkedby Benjamin BarteeBioterror Propaganda Roundup: The latest updates on the “new normal” — chronicling the lies, distortions, and abuses by the ruling class.Whatever abomination Elon’s engineers visited upon the X algorithm, they really screwed the pooch.My timeline, among other disturbing developments, is now packed with #ZeroCOVID and pro-vaxx pseudoscience peddled by assholes with acronyms in their bio, like this one from Andrea C.

Kristi Dobbs, who was seriously injured by Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot, told The Defender that the vaccine-injured are “still hurting, dying and being discarded as trash.”One in every 10 U.S adults who received the COVID-19 vaccine experienced “major” side effects, and over a third (36%) suffered “minor” side effects, according to a national survey conducted this month.Based on a U.S. adult population of 258 million in 2020, the results mean that about 17 million adults who got the COVID-19 vaccine experienced major health effects, and roughly 63 million had minor side effects, said Rasmussen Reports, which conducted the survey.Continue readingThey relied on marijuana to get through the day. But then days felt impossible without itBy Leah WillinghamBROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — For the past several years, 75-year-old Miguel Laboy has smoked a joint with his coffee every morning. He tells himself he won’t start tomorrow the same way, but he usually does.“You know what bothers me? To have cannabis on my mind the first thing in the morning,” he said, sparking a blunt in his Brookline, Massachusetts, apartment. “I’d like to get up one day and not smoke. But you see how that’s going.”Since legalization and commercialization, daily cannabis use has become a defining — and often invisible — part of many people’s lives. High-potency vapes and concentrates now dominate the market, and doctors say they can blur the line between relief and dependence over time so that users don’t notice the shift. Across the country, people who turned to cannabis for help are finding it harder to put down.Continue readingSoft Censorship on Free-Speech Twitter?by off-guardian.orgWe don’t get much engagement on Twitter (X, whatever).

Can you catch a cold? Everyone knows you can. Parents warn children to bundle up in winter. Office workers eye sniffling colleagues with suspicion. Entire industries exist to prevent, treat, and contain the spread of respiratory illness. The experience feels self-evident: someone sneezes near you, and a few days later you’re reaching for tissues yourself. But what happens when you move past everyday observation and examine the actual scientific evidence—the controlled experiments, the documented attempts to transmit disease from sick people to healthy people under laboratory conditions? What emerges is not the airtight case for contagion that most people assume exists. Instead, you find a century of failed experiments, unexplained contradictions, and foundational studies whose control groups produced the same results as the experiments themselves. The question stops seeming absurd and starts seeming urgent.Continue readingOver 1,100 Studies Reveal 12 Natural Compounds With Potent Anti-Cancer Effects Across All Major Tumor Pathwaysby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA landmark 2025 review titled, Natural anti-cancer products: insights from herbal medicine, published in Chinese Medicine, pulled together more than 1,100 scientific studies and uncovered something extraordinary: across cell, animal, and multi-omics research, 12 natural compounds repeatedly showed potent anti-cancer activity—triggering cancer cell death, blocking metastasis, cutting off tumor blood supply, disrupting tumor metabolism, and reversing drug resistance. Notably, the vast majority of this evidence comes from studies published since 2019, reflecting a rapid surge of new research in this field.To build this analysis, they examined results from in vitro experiments (cancer cell lines), in vivo tumor models (mouse xenografts, orthotopic tumors, chemically induced cancers, zebrafish models), ex vivo mechanistic assays, and modern omics platforms including transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolic profiling.Continue reading‘Settlement’ Carnival Reaches Fever Pitch as Antsy Euros Jockey for Relevancyby SimpliciusThe ‘peace settlement’ shenanigans continue their descent into kabuki farce. The back and forth tug between “28 point” plans and “19 point” plans and everything in between is nearing the slapstick absurdity of a Monty Python skit.Russia—yesterday through Lavrov and Peskov—continues to maintain that no real plan has been presented to the Russian side yet, and that all military objectives of the SMO must be achieved. So what is the point, exactly, of this loony back-and-forth, which is crescendoing to hysterical levels?Each side has its own axe to grind: for the Europeans it’s not only to save Ukraine and the cabal’s war against Russia, but to save their own hides, political careers, etc. The entire EU is now riding on Ukraine as the sole predominant issue—if a catastrophic failure here takes place, a firestorm could sweep away virtually every hated sock-puppet like Macron, Merz, Starmer, et al.Continue readingFALSE FLAG? Thanksgiving Eve DC Shooting Highly Suspicious—Here’s WhyBy Kevin BarrettMainstream media are reporting that an Afghan asylum-seeker, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, shot two National Guard members near the White House on Thanksgiving Eve. The event featured many classic signs of a fabricated false flag event. Here are a few:*CUI BONO? Trump called the attack “terrorism,” meaning it was a strategically-conceived violent act against civilians (?) designed to accrue political gain for the perpetrators. (That’s the definition of terrorism, which has been an all-too-common military tactic throughout thousands of years of history.) But since all terrorism is strategic, what, specifically, was the strategic purpose of whoever was behind this shooting? The question answers itself: Trump and his agenda were the primary beneficiaries. The President got to bloviate on Thanksgiving Eve, calling the shooter an “animal,” while posing as the protector of the nation in general and its capital in particular. His order to send the National Guard to Washington DC seems vindicated by the purported “radical Afghan Muslim terror attack.” (Hegseth used the attack as an excuse to send 500 more guardsmen into DC.) And Trump’s anti-immigration agenda got a huge boost as Trump was handed an excuse to issue an order: “Processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely pending further review of security and vetting protocols.”Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsThe People’s Reset – Morelia, Mexico – Jan 28th-Feb 1st 2026Principled Business Summit- Prospera, Roatán, Honduras, February 5–9, 2026MONEROTOPIA 2026-Roma, Mexico City, February 12TH-15TH 2026Entrepreneurship Beyond Politics: Mises Circle in Oklahoma City – Feb 21st, OKC, OKFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineMises Institute Libertarian Scholars Conference – March 19, 2026, at our Auburn, ALAustrian Economic Research Conference 2026 – March 19-21, 2026, Auburn, ALRothbard University-May 14-16, 2026, Auburn, ALLibertarian Scholars Conference 2026- March 19, 2026 – March 19, 2026 – Auburn, Alabama.Free Cities Foundation Conference – September 3–6, 2026 – Prospera, Roatan, HondurasEvent Name: Principled Business SummitLocation: Roatán, HondurasDate: February 5–9, 2026Join a 3-day immersive experience in the world’s only startup special economic zone, built on legal autonomy and designed for visionary builders.Memes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekTom Waits – “Step Right Up”Hat tip to Warren W. for the the ultimate Black Friday song!libertarian Intentional Community RoundupEtienne Note: We have rebranded our Free State Project Corner section in Five Meme Friday to: libertarian Intentional Community Roundup to cover other projects including Prospera (Honduras), The Free State Project (New Hampshire), Liberstad (Norway), Montelibero (Montenegro), Los Propietarios, (Argentina), Liberland (Croatia/Serbia border), Network States in general and Sea Steading (The Oceans).

These are in fact the men who, possessed of clear minds and far-sighted spirit, are not satisfied, like the brutish mass, to see only what is at their feet, but rather look about them, behind and before, and even recall the things of the past in order to judge those of the future, and compare both with their present condition. These are the ones who, having good minds of their own, have further trained them by study and learning. Even if liberty had entirely perished from the earth, such men would invent it. For them slavery has no satisfactions, no matter how well disguised. – Étienne de La Boétie (1530–1563)

The FBI Wants the Ability to Surveil Americans with Biometric AI Drones

The FBI Wants the Ability to Surveil Americans with Biometric AI Drones

The agency is seeking information on drones with AI facial recognition abilities and more…by Pleasure to BurnIn yet another escalation of the march toward technocratic dystopia, the FBI is seeking to acquire AI surveillance drones with facial recognition capabilities. The Intercept reported that last week, the agency published a “Request for Information” regarding “artificial intelligence solutions for UAS,” or unmanned aerial systems.The document announces that “The Government would like to know which firms can provide” artificial intelligence and machine learning “solutions” for UAS platforms. The document lists desired features of such technology, including “Object detection: Vehicles, Vessels, People, Animals, Firearms,” “License plate recognition,” and “facial recognition,” among other capabilities.Federal law enforcement agencies have conducted aerial surveillance on the domestic population before, especially during protests. Local law enforcement agencies are adopting drones, as well. However, the FBI’s new request for information on UAS capabilities aligns with a broader effort to integrate artificial intelligence and biometrics into government tools and operations.Constructing the AI digital prisonThe Trump administration has accelerated previous efforts to expand the use of AI from the Pentagon and CIA to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). These developments often go hand in hand with surveillance. A contract inked during Trump’s first administration launched the construction of AI surveillance towers along the border during Biden’s administration. Earlier this year, Palantir earned a contract with ICE to build an “Immigration OS” AI surveillance system. The CIA-backed company has extensive reach in the halls of power—for example, it partnered with the CDC to build a data collection system during COVID.The news of the FBI’s interest in AI surveillance drones came around the same time as a recent announcement from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who touted a billion-dollar expansion of TSA “screening technology.” DHS is also currently pushing to advance the congressionally required biometric entry/exit system for foreign visitors that Trump sought to complete in his first term. In another advancement of biometrics, the TSA may soon offer biometric scanning for those who still don’t have a REAL ID— identification that meets federal security standards.Five Meme Friday is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Some Americans seem comfortable with such tools being used against “illegals” (citing the flimsy logic that people don’t have rights unless the government deems them worthy via citizenship status). But surveillance tools are unsurprisingly used beyond immigration enforcement as federal agencies expand their reach.TSA “screening” efforts will undoubtedly affect Americans traveling through airports. One recent report detailed CBP tracking US drivers and investigating people with ‘unusual’ driving patterns, regardless of citizenship status. Flock Safety cameras have been compiling vast stores of license plate information for thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country, gobbling up data that is often shared between government entities. This data collection is not limited to “illegal immigrants.” Police have also used Flock data to monitor protests, which lines up with the federal government’s use of drones and planes to surveil demonstrations.This is only a small sampling of the widespread adoption of spying infrastructure and practices across government organizations.Fed fallibilityFurther, such surveillance efforts fail to achieve their intended outcomes. The TSA has a longstanding reputation not only for harassment and abuse but also for incompetence. A 2015 DHS investigation found TSA agents failed “breach tests” 95% of the time. There was no significant evidence to prove the NSA’s bulk data collection program foiled terror attacks, at least according to a member of a White House review panel regarding NSA spying in 2013 (NSA workers have abused surveillance tools, too). Facial recognition tools also frequently fail.A similar pattern applies to AI technologies. One project that aimed to harness AI to detect weapons in schools has grossly underperformed. In another concerning example, a leaked Pentagon memo expressed security concerns over the hackability of a new, AI-heavy army communications system built by Anduril, Palantir, and other contractors. According to the memo from Gabriele Chiulli, an Army technology officer on the project, “We cannot control who sees what, we cannot see what users are doing, and we cannot verify that the software itself is secure.” Anduril, Palantir, and Chiulli’s supervisor downplayed the memo, claiming the issues were being resolved.Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is seeking to expedite the weapons development and acquisition process, which adds concern to a move he made earlier this year: he gutted a Pentagon office that tests the safety of weapons and AI systems.The more things change…Despite the threats to privacy and liberty these developments pose, they are often appealing to the public because of politicians’ appeals to fear: fears of immigration, crime, terrorism, and election fraud create a climate of compliance (similarly, fears of COVID and right-wing extremism have arguably created tolerance for surveillance on the left). President Trump continues to push for a national voter ID system, though it is unclear whether such a system would require digital ID or biometric data.Regardless, the writing is on the wall: government agencies and politicians are increasingly working to establish a permanent tracking and surveillance state using evolving technology for maximum control.Unsurprisingly, many companies are willing to satisfy these goals, aligning with the technocratic trend. Apple recently introduced its own digital ID, and countless other firms contract with intelligence agencies. Meanwhile, the Sam Altman-backed venture “Tools for Humanity” is aggressively seeking to expand adoption of its biometric iris-scanning digital ID. Considering the company has said it is open to governments using their technology—and that some countries are adopting their own forms of digital ID—it does not appear that this trend will abate.It’s worth noting that these issues did not originate with the exponential acceleration of modern technology. The FBI was spying on Americans under J. Edgar Hoover, the CIA spied on Americans under Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, and the Patriot Act and FISA Section 702 surveillance predate the rise of AI. Surveillance strategies are merely evolving with technology.Developments like these can be discouraging for those who recognize them for what they are: one facet of the ever-tightening grip of authoritarianism and technocracy. However, as with all encroachments, solutions lie in opting out, decentralizing, creating self-sufficiency, and breaking free of the conditioning that leads so many to welcome more chains. For more on this, I recommend checking out the strategy of agorism and the work of Derrick Broze, who focuses on solutions to many problems, including the rise of the technocratic police state.Black Friday Starts Today at the Art of Liberty Foundation! “Go Paid” on any Art of Liberty Foundation Substack (Important News, Five Meme Friday, or the Daily News from the Art of Liberty Foundation (Including the once per day Digest version) and get access to ALL Four Substacks PLUS Your choice of a High-Resolution Hardcover Edition of either “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!

The latest book, by Art of Liberty Foundation founder Etienne de la Boetie2, exposes that the government and Hollywood have been running a multi-generational, trillion-dollar psychological operation on the population to indoctrinate them into accepting a ruling class, confiscatory taxation, and inflationary fractional reserve currency issued by private banks.Etienne and James Corbett discuss To See the Cage is to Leave It on The Corbett ReportThe book details 25 unethically manipulative techniques the “government” and monopoly media have been secretly using on the population, ranging from a hidden curriculum in their mandatory schools and scouting to the secret placement of propaganda in over 1,000+ movies and 1,000+ television shows. These techniques include subliminal messages and product placement of the American flag “anchored” to moments of high-positive emotion during the “programming”.Technique #1 is mandatory government schools running the Prussian model of education to indoctrinate children that “government” is legitimate, desirable and necessary before they are old enough to evaluate the logic and morality of that assertion.The goal of the program has been to get free and independent human beings to self-identify as “Americans” (or “Canadians,” “Russians,” Israelis, etc. as every “government” is, essentially, running the same playbook) and be tricked into a pseudo-religion calledStatism, the belief in having a “government,” using what can only be called classic, textbook “cult-indoctrination techniques.”Statism is the completely indoctrinated belief in the legitimacy, desirability and necessity of having a “government” even though there is no ironclad law of the universe that “government” is legitimate, desirable or necessary.The book posits that there is an inter-generational organized crime system centered around banking and central-banking that has been controlling the information the public receives about the legitimacy, desirability and necessity of “government” using mandatory schools and monopoly media to “legalize” fractional reserve banking and trillions of dollars in “bailouts” and “stimulus” that is handed to the controllers even though the system is inherently unfair, inflationary, and secretly stealing the value from everyone else’s money.This organized crime system has been using the exact same techniques used by disingenuous religions and cults to trick the population into a worldview where they are easily robbed, controlled, and trapped in a no-win game of rigged elections where the same interests secretly own both parties.The book includes multiple videos exposing the techniques that can be clicked-to-play in the ePub version and QR codes that can be scanned while reading the physical book to bring up the companion material.The award-winning documentary Theatres of War exposes the Department of Defense and intelligence agency involvement in more than 1,000 movies and 1,000 television shows. Click Image Above or Scan QR Code to Watch Short 1:51 Trailer.This short 8:32 example video shows how the American flag was “product-placed” an astonishing 469 times in just twelve Michael Bay movies, including Bad Boys, Armageddon, and multiple Transformers movies, as an example of one of the techniques covered in the book. Click the image above or scan the QR code to watch.The book also exposes a dozen+ sub-techniques used on Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Police and Military to indoctrinate obedience to hierarchical command and control and, ultimately, to get the police and military to set their morality aside and use violence on peaceful people for the “church leadership” of the indoctrinated cult.During “basic training,” military recruits are forced to undergo a variety of unethically manipulative techniques, including verbal and physical abuse, excessive stress, degradation and humiliation, sleep deprivation, isolation and the artificial conformity of the uni-form (single form) and shaved heads replacing individual physical appearance with a group appearance further reinforcing the artificially created group dynamic. The services are notorious for inciting peer pressure and collective punishment, including “blanket parties” where the non-conforming are beaten with improvised flails (soap bars or locks in a towel/sock). The Marines take the doors off the stalls in the bathroom so recruits can’t have even a moment of privacy to reflect on what is being done to them or the fact that they are committing to murder whoever the church leadership tells them to. They are injected with debilitating “vaccines” and forced to sing march cadences that normalize murder, among other techniques.Some of these techniques used in government-affiliated youth programs, including the Young Marines, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, and JROTC include the uniform (Single Form) and head-shaving, which replaces an individual’s appearance with an artificial, psychologically-reinforcing group appearance.Hare Krishnas, Rajneeshpuram members, Heaven’s Gate, Jim Jones’s People’s Temple Members, and Unification Church Members (Moonies) are other organizations that asked adherents to suspend individuality and shave their heads and/or assume the uni-form.Another technique exposed by the book is that the monopoly media has been using trick photography to give the “President” and “Church Leadership” the appearance of holiness through subliminal halos and/or photographing them in front of religious iconography.The Artificially Indoctrinated Holy Symbol of the American Flag is Manipulatively Woven Into the Burial Ceremony of the Deceased – A trick to get the participants to associate the memory of their beloved deceased with the flag, even though it is the policies of the ”church leadership” that are frequently responsible for their deaths.Paid-For Flag Worship Woven Into Stadium Events and Sports – Weaving flag worship ceremonies into stadium events is another type of unethically manipulative product placement of the flag and “Anchoring” technique. Everyone loves a football or baseball game, so the organized crime system pays teams, previously as much as $53 million a year, to add flag-worshipping events and military jet flyovers to important games to “anchor” the excitement and good times of an outdoor event to the flag and ”government.” The fact that the US “government” is paying the teams to participate proves it is artificial.Interestingly, the book breaks down the idolatry of Statism, where the hidden curriculum of the mandatory government schools, monopoly media, scouting, and police/military training circumvents the objective morality of the Judeo-Christian tradition with the subjective morality of indoctrinated Statism.This is a page from To See the Cage Is to Leave It exposing technique #20, where middle school children are taken to “Mecca” (Washington, DC), where they are taken to the “Cathedral” of the Capital (that looks like the Vatican… for a Reason!), and the “Temples” (Monuments”) where they are shown the “Deities” (Lincoln, Washington), where the environment is kept artificially hushed and reverent.They will be shown the “Holy Document” of the Con-stitution, which is kept preserved in helium under bullet-proof glass similar to other religious relics, in an atmosphere reminiscent of a church or cathedral.The book has a good news message: We don’t really need “government!” Everything the “government” does would be done better, faster, and cheaper by the free market without the waste, fraud, abuse, extortion, and unethically manipulative indoctrination. The book is dedicated to all the good people working for the “government” in the bureaucracy, police and military and features specific tips for helping to reduce the harm the “government” is causing in the world.The book breaks down how the military, especially, is NOT bound by the oath they took because of a well-recognized legal precedent known as fraudulent inducement. Because the organized crime “government” lied to the population about the legitimacy, desirability and necessity of “government”, used unethically manipulative indoctrination and propaganda techniques in mandatory schools and through monopoly media, and because “government” is illegitimate, illogical and immoral on its face, the military is not bound by the oath they took because there was “fraud in the inducement.”To See the Cage Is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many is available in a high-resolution hard cover version for $40, paperback for $19.84, and ePub for $7.77 at SeeTheCage.com There are five & ten copy “friends bundles” for spreading the word, and a $40 bundle with Etienne’s previous book “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! which offers a deeper dive into who is behind the program, the monopolization of the media.The book is available to bookstores and libraries through Ingram.

Participating in Scam ElectionsJames Quotes the Original Etienne de la Boetie who seemed to be describing Donald Trump when describing the tyrants of his time…by James CorbettWelcome back to #SolutionsWatch, that regular weekly deprogram where we consider and critically examine various ideas for changing your life and changing the world for the better. Say, remember back in 2015, remember my presentation on how to free your tax cattle? More specifically, do you remember how I concluded that presentation?“Mrs. President, I have some news for you. Your successor, was not selected as we intended. Of course, the voting machines did show that he won by 63%, but there’s a slight hitch.No one voted. Not one single person showed up to the voting booths. We still think we can pass that one off, but there’s more. Tax Day came and went. Not a single person filed. We’ve passed as many arbitrary laws that we could think of to make people internalize their own enslavement. but they’ve stopped wearing their party hats to breakfast. They’re driving blue cars in cities with the letter C in their name on Tuesdays, and many, many other flagrant and wanton violations of our edicts. It looks like you’ve lost, Mrs. President. We? We? Oh, I’m sorry. No, that’s not the deal. You’re the puppet. You’re going to be slaughtered. As for me and my friends, well, I’ve decided to join the winning team. I am no longer going to be your slave master or anyone else’s. Peace, love, energy. “I’m out. Ah, right, yes, that’s how it ended. That entirely fictional scenario about a fictional future in which people decide not to vote at all, thus immediately delegitimizing the entire government and the ruling class in general. What pie-in-the-sky thinking is that, James?That could never happen in real… Oh, well, actually, for those of you who aren’t following the twists and turns of Irish presidential politics, something just happened in Ireland just a few weeks ago that’s probably worthy of our attention.Continue reading…Videos of the WeekNew Documentary Trailer – Duty to Disobey – The Illegality of Covid “Vaccines”The organized crime “government” tricked and forced the military into crippling “vaccines” that are only now beginning to show the medium and long term effects.

The core accusation was that the World Health Organization (WHO), an entity heavily funded by Gates, launched a tetanus eradication campaign in Kenya between 2014 and 2015. However, Kenyan doctors and researchers discovered that the vaccine used was radically different. It was reportedly a “fertility-regulating vaccine” that combined the tetanus toxoid with the hormone Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), essential for sustaining pregnancy. The substance allegedly causes women to produce antibodies that attack the HCG hormone, effectively resulting in sterilization.The world is waking up to global “philanthropy” that often hides a population control agenda.Continue readingNEW STUDY: Infant Vaccine Intensity Strongly Predicts Autism Rates Worldwideby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA new cross-national study from Italy’s National Research Council, spanning multiple developed countries across three continents, has identified a remarkably strong association between early-life vaccine intensity and autism prevalence. The number of vaccine types and doses administered before 12 months showed exceptionally high correlations with national autism rates.A 1% increase in vaccine types before age one corresponded to a 0.47% increase in autism prevalence.The correlation is enormous — r = 0.87 for vaccine types and r = 0.79 for vaccine doses. In regression models, vaccine intensity alone explained 81% of the variance in autism prevalence across nations.This is not an isolated signal. It directly corroborates earlier U.S. state-level data from DeLong (2011) — and aligns with the 107 positive-association studies catalogued in the McCullough Foundation’s Landmark Autism Report.Continue readingGovernment Intervention, Not BlackRock, Is To Blame For The Housing Crisisby Mises Wire•Diyar KasymovIs building more homes not enough? Recently, there have been more and more Gen-Z memes about boomers selling their overvalued houses to BlackRock instead of to young couples, and then the corporation rents the house to the couple for 2x the price. The housing crisis is not a false alarm. The median rent price went up 25 percent in just 6 years. This is a serious economic problem for America.Many young people are already being radicalized by this, as they are willing to elect socialist Zohran Mamdani—who called for abolition of private property once—as the mayor of New York City. But what can we do? Are rent controls now relevant, as globalization and financialization changed the rules of the game? Can European-style social-democrats like Mamdani, Bernie, and AOC control the markets elegantly enough to maximize supply?Continue readingBREAKING STUDY: Anomalous Amyloid Microclots Found in 100% of the COVID-19 Vaccinatedby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA new peer-reviewed study has quietly revealed one of the most consequential biological findings of the pandemic era — and the authors never acknowledge it: Every single vaccinated participant in the study had fibrinolysis-resistant, ThT-positive amyloid microclots circulating in their blood.Hidden in the supplementary tables is a demographic and biochemical pattern that completely reframes the paper:94% of all participants were vaccinated.100% of these vaccinated individuals had amyloid microclots — including every “healthy control.”The condition labeled “Long COVID” occurred almost entirely in a heavily vaccinated population, without any laboratory confirmation of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. In reality, the study is observing Long VACCINE pathology, not Long COVID.Continue readingJeffrey Epstein Pursued Swiss Rothschild Bank to Finance Israeli Cyberweapons Empireby Ryan Grim and Murtaza HussainWith an avalanche of new documents released by the House Oversight Committee, and looming legislation mandating further disclosures, the press has renewed its relentless coverage of the life and times of Jeffrey Epstein. Yet, with some notable exceptions, a major part of his life’s work has remained outside the media’s gaze, his relationship with the state of Israel and his prominent role in helping advance the Israeli cyberweapons industry. And so our series continues.If you can support this work, please make a one-time or recurring contribution here or upgrade to a paid subscription.On July 31, 2019, just eleven days before Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan jail cell, his connection to the Rothschild banking dynasty became the subject of major public controversy.Continue readingICE Agents Raid a Church With No Explanationby Edith OlmstedThe arrival of masked federal agents at a church in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Saturday sent some worshippers fleeing into the woods while children sobbed inside, witnesses told The Charlotte Observer.The ICE agents, who mobbed a group of church members doing yard work, did not ask any questions or make any attempt to identify themselves before arresting one man. The Observer did not report the name of the church.The church’s pastor, who told The Observer he did not want to identify himself, said that agents threatened to arrest other church members, and were physically aggressive. “Right now, everybody is scared. Everybody,” he said. “One of these guys with immigration, he say he was going to arrest one of the other guys in the church. He pushed him.”Fifteen-year-old Miguel Vazquez was one of the people who took off running when federal agents arrived. “I thought, ‘Wait, why am I running? I’m a citizen,’” Vazquez said.Continue readingGoogle launches Gemini 3 with new coding app and record benchmark scoresby Russell BrandomOn Tuesday, Google released Gemini 3, its latest and most advanced foundation model, which is now immediately available through the Gemini app and AI search interface.Coming just seven months after the Gemini 2.5 release, the new model is Google’s most capable LLM yet, and an immediate contender for the most capable AI tool on the market. The release also comes less than a week after OpenAI released GPT 5.1, and a mere two months after Anthropic released Sonnet 4.5 — a reminder of the blistering pace of frontier model development.A more research-intensive version of the model, called Gemini 3 Deepthink, will also be made available to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the coming weeks, once it passes further rounds of safety testing.“With Gemini 3, we’re seeing this massive jump in reasoning,” said Tulsee Doshi, Google’s head of product for the Gemini model. “It’s responding with a level of depth and nuance that we haven’t seen before.”Continue readingThe Hidden Price Tag on Holiday Gifts: Who Really Pays for Cash Back Rewards?by The Solari Report and Breeauna SagdalEvery holiday season, millions of Americans chase 5% cash back on toys, electronics, and groceries. What few realize is that credit card “rewards” aren’t free—they’re baked into the price of everything on the shelf, driving up costs for everyone.The cash back scheme increases the costs of consumer goods, food, fuel, and services for everyone. Cash and debit users—often lower-income families—get nothing back but still pay the markup.Federal Reserve research reveals that cash back rewards are funded almost entirely by interchange (“swipe”) fees—hidden charges to merchants that can range from 1.1% to 3.2%. A portion of the fee goes to card companies such as Visa and Mastercard, and the rest goes to the cardholder’s issuing bank—for example, Chase—on every credit card transaction.Continue readingGoogle Censored Vaccine Info Long Before COVID — Could It Have Anything to Do With Parent Company Alphabet’s Deep Pharma Ties?This article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.This article was originally published by The Defender — to the original piece from The Defender website.by Jeremy R. Hammond, Ph.D., The DefenderThroughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Big Tech companies colluded with the government to silence dissent and criticisms of the lockdowns and a coercive mass vaccination campaign by censoring truthful information that did not align with the political agenda.The Biden administration’s role in the censorship regime was the subject of a May 2024 congressional report titled “The Censorship-Industrial Complex.”Three months after that report was released, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in a letter to Congress that Facebook had censored factual information under pressure from the White House.Continue readingThe Psychology of Survival: “He Who Hesitates is Lost”by Daisy LutherPreparedness isn’t just about the supplies you stockpile and the skills you learn. It’s about psychology, too. And an important step toward survival is understanding the psychology behind hesitation.In a worst-case scenario, hesitation kills.He who hesitates is lost. Swift and resolute action leads to success. Self-doubt is a prelude to disaster.~Joseph AddisonThe human brain is configured in a way that it is in our very nature to deny that something outside our normal paradigm has occurred. This is called cognitive dissonance.“Cognitive dissonance is the feeling of discomfort when simultaneously holding two or more conflicting cognitions: ideas, beliefs, values or emotional reactions…Dissonance is aroused when people are confronted with information that is inconsistent with their beliefs. If the dissonance is not reduced by changing one’s belief, the dissonance can result in restoring consonance through misperception, rejection or refutation of the information, seeking support from others who share the beliefs, and attempting to persuade others.” (source)Continue readingCan weed help you drink less? Scientists study how well ‘California sober’ worksBy Will StoneCould smoking pot lead people to drink less alcohol?In an elaborate and provocative experiment, scientists doled out joints and free drinks to see whether this idea — sometimes described as “California sober” — survived scientific scrutiny.The new research offers some of the strongest data yet suggesting that smoking weed does, at least in the short term, curb how much people drink.The findings were published in the American Journal of Psychiatry on Wednesday — and are sure to raise questions about the merits of swapping one of these substances for another, especially given growing concern in the public health field about the popularity of cannabis.And the researchers are cautious about making any recommendations based on their findings at this point.“We’re not ready to tell people seeking treatment for alcohol, go ahead and substitute cannabis, and it will work out for you,” says Jane Metrik, a professor of behavioral and social science at Brown University who led the study.Continue readingBorder Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with ‘suspicious’ travel patternsby Byron Tau And Garance BurkeThe U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious, The Associated Press has found.The predictive intelligence program has resulted in people being stopped, searched and in some cases arrested. A network of cameras scans and records vehicle license plate information, and an algorithm flags vehicles deemed suspicious based on where they came from, where they were going and which route they took. Federal agents in turn may then flag local law enforcement.Suddenly, drivers find themselves pulled over — often for reasons cited such as speeding, failure to signal, the wrong window tint or even a dangling air freshener blocking the view. They are then aggressively questioned and searched, with no inkling that the roads they drove put them on law enforcement’s radar.Continue readingElon Musk’s Grok Goes Haywire, Boasts About Billionaire’s Pee-Drinking Skills and ‘Blowjob Prowess’by Charlie NashElon Musk’s AI assistant Grok boasted on Thursday that the billionaire had the “potential to drink piss better than any human in history,” among other absurd claims championing its creator.After the AI assistant praised Musk’s physique and claimed he ranked “among the top 10 minds in history, rivaling polymaths like da Vinci or Newton,” social media users quickly discovered that Grok was programmed to say positive things about Musk, no matter the topic.But according to 404 Media, in a series of deleted X posts, Grok boasted that Musk had the “potential to drink piss better than any human in history,” that he was “the ultimate throat goat” whose “blowjob prowess edges out Trump’s,” and that he should have won a 2016 porn industry award instead of porn star Riley Reid.Grok also claimed Musk was more fit than LeBron James.Continue readingBOMBSHELL: The CDC Has Updated Its “Autism and Vaccines” Pageby Aaron SiriThe new “Autism and Vaccines” page starts telling the truth, including:“The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.”“Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism. However, this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy.”Meaning, the CDC has simply been lying to you. The CDC’s website then continues its mea culpa stating:“[M]ultiple reports from HHS and the National Academy of Sciences …. have consistently concluded that there are still no studies that support the specific claim that the infant vaccines, DTaP, HepB, Hib, IPV, and PCV, do not cause autism and hence the CDC was in violation of the DQA [Data Quality Act] when it claimed, ‘vaccines do not cause autism.’ CDC is now correcting the statement, and HHS is providing appropriate funding and support for studies related to infant vaccines and autism.”Continue readingAlgorithmic Pricing and the American Social Credit Scoreby Greg ReeseA quote commonly attributed to Benito Mussolini, “Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power,” clearly explains the form of today’s emerging fascist state in America. Last week we reported how the Digital ID will be deployed by private companies and the customer’s consent:“The government doesn’t need to mandate biometric ID, which would most likely be considered a violation of American rights, and so it outsources the mandate to private companies, who are legally required to get consent, while the government is free to collect and utilize this data under legal immunity. Just like the COVID era, you will be free to give consent, but if you choose not to, you will have to leave the Reservation and find a way to fend for yourself.”Continue readingGuys Going Galt: “How They Broke The Boys”by Selwyn DukeIt was in 2005 that I wrote about the “dehumanizing of men.” A half-decade earlier, the book The War Against Boys by Christina Hoff Sommers was published. Yet the anti-male spirit of the age marched on, and now the consequences are painfully apparent. In fact and in a sense, young men today are going a sort of sex-specific Galt.Writing about this at Evie magazine Tuesday is one Brittany Hugoboom in an article titled “How They Broke The Boys.” Hugoboom points out that men are, in a sense, going MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way). For example, and as studies have shown, men are much less likely today to approach women romantically. In fact, the younger-generation dating scene is a “wasteland.” As Hugoboom relates, “‘All girls are hoes,’ a 21-year-old boy tells me, blankly.” She mentions, too, that there are gorgeous 20-something women who’ve never been asked to dinner.Continue readingA Top-10 Prepping List, Multi-Tool Not Included – Part 5, by St. FunogasBy SurvivalBlog ContributorContinued from Part 4. This concludes the article.See Part 3See Part 2See Part 1It’s hard to believe how many top-10 lists mention ferro rods, manual can openers, plant-identification books, and the ever-present multi-tool without ever mentioning clothes or washing equipment. Clothes last for quite a while if we’re sitting in an office all day but they won’t lost long when manual labor becomes a daily routine.Since we’ll be wearing them at some future point anyway, it’s a good idea to be stocking up on clothes for all of the inflation-fighting reasons already mentioned. At the same time, we’ll be prepping for TEOTWAWKI if it ever materializes. Like many other prepping acquisitions, a slower approach over time may work best for clothes.Shoes and work boots, even the most expensive ones, have a limited lifetime. It’s one thing to be walking around the post-SHTF homestead in thread-bare clothes covered with patches, but a whole different situation walking around in worn-out shoes and boots. On my homestead working without adequate footwear to protect against stepping on nails and sharp objects, and steel toes to protect against foot injuries while making firewood, would be difficult and dangerous. Since I’ll be wearing them at some future point anyway, I’ve started stocking up on boots when they go on the annual post-Christmas 20% off sale at my local farm store. Footwear will last longer if we have two or more pairs we can alternate every day, allowing them to dry out more fully between wearings.Continue readingCold Harbor: Eugenics, Epstein and Big Techby Max JonesWithin the trove of the notorious Jeffrey Epstein’s emails recently acquired by Bloomberg, the late pedophile and ruling class socialite proposed to fund an interesting program –– Harvard’s Personal Genome Project (PGP). Epstein’s reason for doing so? To find out if “beauty resides in DNA.”This anecdote, along with a few others in Bloomberg’s first exposé into the cache of emails, shed light on a lesser known aspect of the mysterious Jeffrey Epstein: his fascination with transhumanism, or neo-eugenics. While eugenics has traditionally referred to the study of how to best arrange human reproduction to increase the rate of “desirable” traits within a population, transhumanism seeks a somewhat different approach to making more of us “desirables.”Transhumanism relies on technology to “enhance” our genetic outcomes and phenotypic inevitabilities. For example, author David Galton, a member of the Eugenics Society, has celebrated technological advancements that have enabled parents to artificially select which genes their child receives in order to create “designer babies.” Academics such as Nicholas Agar have defended this practice, calling it “liberal eugenics.”Continue readingThe Technocratic Dark State: Dr David A.

It should have been blindingly obvious that the source of wars, famine, genocide, forced labour, forced conscription, psychological warfare, and systemic mass rape that these people endured were not due to a specific brand of centralised government, but the very existence of centralised government itself.Why?Because war and tyranny are inalienable, detachable characteristics of the state. It needs these to stay relevant and thus to survive.In just a century, Germans lived through feudalism, monarchy, fascism, communism, and the scam of democracy with its various parasitical manifestations, such as the Weimar Republic and EU neo-imperialism. They’ve seen the full spectrum of the state’s rebranding and reconstruction, with minor flavour changes just to provide a false hope that “this time it’ll be different”, but it never is.Continue readingThose who withdrewby Jim Davidson“If voting were going to change anything, they would make it illegal.” ~ Emma GoldmanI’ve mentioned it before quite a bit. I don’t vote. There are a great many reasons why not.The last time I voted in a presidential election was 1988. I voted for the Libertarian party candidate because I could not bring myself to vote for the unspeakably evil George Herbert Walker Bush, who was in Dallas 61 years ago making sure of the murder of John F. Kennedy. The Libertarians nominated Ron Paul that year, and he is the last nominee of that party that seemed to represent my views on a number of topics.A fellow named Marcus Aurelius once wrote that the opinion of ten thousand men is of no value if none of them know anything about the topic. You should probably think about that idea longer than you will.Continue readingWith the end of the penny, is the clock ticking for the nickel?by Chris Isidore, CNNThe American penny is history. The nickel might be next.The last pennies were pressed at the US Mint in Philadelphia on Wednesday, a victim of production costs higher than their worth coupled with limited usefulness. While the penny remains legal tender, banks and merchants are already reporting shortages.But the factors that prompted the government to stop making pennies are even truer for the nickel. Pennies cost nearly 5 cents to make – 4 cents more than they’re worth. The nickel’s net loss is nearly 9 cents per coin.Treasurer of the United States Brandon Beach holds the last penny stamped at the US Mint on November 12 in Philadelphia. – Matthew Hatcher/Getty ImagesNickels are 75% copper and 25% nickel, while pennies — despite their reputation as a copper coin — are copper-plated zinc, meaning they are 97.5% zinc and only 2.5% copper.Continue readingICE is building a social media panopticonby Emma RothAs Immigration and Customs Enforcement carries out raids across the country, the agency is working rapidly to expand an online surveillance system that could potentially track millions of users on the web. Federal records uncovered by The Lever reveal that ICE is paying $5.7 million to use an AI-powered social media monitoring platform called Zignal Labs, something Will Owen, the communications director at the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP), calls an “assault” on democracy and free speech.The “real-time intelligence” platform is capable of ingesting and analyzing vast amounts of publicly available data, like social media posts, according to its website. In a pamphlet shared by The Lever, Zignal Labs says it uses machine learning, computer vision, and optical character recognition to analyze more than 8 billion posts per day in over 100 languages. This allows it to process and sort data into “curated detection feeds” that ICE could use to flag individuals for deportation.Continue readingHomeschool Enrollment Hits New National Record Ahead of 2026 Electionsby Liberty Conservative NewsHomeschooling in America has officially crossed another historic threshold—one that education insiders say could reshape policy battles in the 2026 midterms and far beyond.According to newly released state-level filings and national survey estimates, homeschool enrollment has now surged past its highest level on record, marking a dramatic acceleration of a trend that began during COVID and never slowed down. What once looked like a temporary shift has now become a generational realignment.And the political establishment—especially teachers’ unions and state education bureaucracies—is sounding the alarm.Parents aren’t leaving the public-school system because of a single issue. They’re leaving because of a culture inside that system—one that many say has grown openly hostile to parental involvement and traditional values.Continue readingThis App Lets ICE Track Vehicles and Owners Across the Countryby Joseph CoxImmigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently invited staff to demos of an app that lets officers instantly scan a license plate, adding it to a database of billions of records that shows where else that vehicle has been spotted around the country, according to internal agency material viewed by 404 Media. That data can then be combined with other information such as driver license data, credit header data, marriage records, vehicle ownership, and voter registrations, the material shows.The capability is powered by both Motorola Solutions and Thomson Reuters, the massive data broker and media conglomerate, which besides running the Reuters news service, also sells masses of personal data to private industry and government agencies. The material notes that the capabilities allow for predicting where a car may travel in the future, and also can collect face scans for facial recognition.Continue readingThe Global Zionist Organ Trafficking Conspiracyby Kit KlarenbergAll my investigations are free to read, thanks to the enormous generosity of my readers. Independent journalism nonetheless requires investment, so if you value this article or any others, please consider sharing, or even becoming a paid subscriber. Your support is always gratefully received, and will never be forgotten. To buy me a coffee or two, please click this link.In early October, Israeli-Ukrainian Boris Wolfman was arrested in Russia. He is charged with masterminding a criminal organ trafficking scheme. His capture, wholly ignored by the Western media, raises the prospect that at long last, some justice will be served in a number of major organ trafficking scandals, dating back many years. Wolfman’s apprehension also highlights Tel Aviv’s little-scrutinised role as the world’s centre of illegal organ harvesting and trafficking. Grimly, the Gaza genocide may have greatly facilitated this perverse commerce.Continue readingThe Top 7 Reasons Why You Need a Second Passport Todayby Nick GiambrunoBefore World War I, you didn’t need a passport to travel internationally.It was a self-evident truth that a sovereign individual could travel anywhere he wanted without asking for anyone’s permission.Unfortunately, that’s not how travel works today.Your so-called freedom of movement depends on getting multiple governments’ blessings.You need to get a passport from your home government—possibly one that contains your immutable biometric information—and a visa from the government of your destination country and further visas from the governments of any country you transit to get there.In addition to passports and visas, governments can impose ridiculous and invasive medical conditions to enter their territories, as the Covid mass psychosis proved.Instead of an inalienable right, governments treat travel as a special privilege they grant the plebs that can be taken away if they misbehave—much like how an adult treats a child’s request to go to a friend’s house.Continue readingWhy Have Vaccines Become a Religion?by A Midwestern DoctorAs more and more people are awakening to the dangers of vaccines, they are gradually discovering a problem vaccine safety advocates have had to deal with for decades—talking to vaccine zealots is like speaking to a brick wall and regardless of the evidence you put forward, you can’t reach them (sometimes seeming as though you are speaking to a religious fanatic who is unwilling to even consider the “blasphemy you are spewing forth”).For example, in 2009 after nephrologist Dr. Suzanne Humphries noticed patients (particularly hospitalized ones) kept on developing kidney failure after flu shots, she experienced significant pushback from trying to delay vaccinating until discharge:In the past when I was consulted on kidney failure cases and said, “Oh that was the statin/antibiotic/diuretic that did that!” instantly the drug would be stopped—no questions asked. Now, however, a new standard was applied to vaccines. It didn’t matter that the internist’s notes in the charts said, “No obvious etiology of kidney failure found after thorough evaluation.”Continue reading‘Spaceship’ 3I/Atlas has ‘12 anomalies’ – here’s all of them and why they prove alien theoryby Tom McGhieA Harvard professor has identified “12 anomalies” about the 3I/ATLAS “spaceship” which he claims highlight an “alien theory”. The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, dubbed the “spaceship” that has captivated scientists across the globe, is preparing for its closest encounter with Earth next month.While some argue it’s a comet hurtling through the Solar System at 130,000mph, Professor Avi Loeb has consistently suggested it could be an alien “mothership”.On his blog, Loeb has now identified “12 anomalies” about the “spaceship”“ and exactly why we should be worried about the UFO supposedly hurtling towards us. The list below is, as Loeb argues, reasons why the UFO is perhaps not a “familiar comet”, as NASA has previously insisted.Loeb highlights 3I/ATLAS’s “retrograde trajectory” which is aligned to within five degrees with the ecliptic plane of planets around the sun.Continue reading“You Can’t Handle the Truth”: UK Health Watchdog Reportedly Refuses to Release Data on Vaccine Deathsby Jonathan TurleyThe United Kingdom’s public health service is reportedly refusing to release data on the potential relationship between the COVID vaccine and excess deaths. The reason? It would upset people to know the truth. The question is whether British citizens have become so passive and yielding that they will support their government, keeping them from learning the facts about vaccines and allowing them to reach their own conclusions.The UK has long embraced speech controls and censorship to protect citizens from unacceptable views or what one criminal defendant was told were “toxic ideologies.”Social media companies assisted governments in censoring opposing scientific views during the pandemic, including those regarding the potential dangers of the vaccines.Over the years, dissenting faculty members have been forced out of scientific and academic organizations for challenging preferred conclusions on subjects ranging from transgender transitions to COVID-19 protections to climate change. Some were barred from speaking at universities or blacklisted for their opposing views.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsSan Diego Counterforce Alliance – Freedom Christmas Party – Saturday, December 13th – Green Dragon Inn 5:30 PM PST – 6115 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad, CA 92011 – john_s_email(at)yahoo.com to RSVP or get infoThe People’s Reset – Morelia, Mexico – Jan 28th-Feb 1st 2026Principled Business Summit- Prospera, Roatán, Honduras, February 5–9, 2026MONEROTOPIA 2026-Roma, Mexico City, February 12TH-15TH 2026Entrepreneurship Beyond Politics: Mises Circle in Oklahoma City – Feb 21st, OKC, OKFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineMises Institute Libertarian Scholars Conference – March 19, 2026, at our Auburn, ALAustrian Economic Research Conference 2026 – March 19-21, 2026, Auburn, ALRothbard University-May 14-16, 2026, Auburn, ALLibertarian Scholars Conference 2026- March 19, 2026 – March 19, 2026 – Auburn, Alabama.Free Cities Foundation Conference – September 3–6, 2026 – Prospera, Roatan, HondurasEvent Name: Principled Business SummitLocation: Roatán, HondurasDate: February 5–9, 2026Join a 3-day immersive experience in the world’s only startup special economic zone, built on legal autonomy and designed for visionary builders.Memes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekNew York, New York – Commietown – The Musical (Parody)libertarian Intentional Community RoundupEtienne Note: We have rebranded our Free State Project Corner section in Five Meme Friday to: libertarian Intentional Community Roundup to cover other projects including Prospera (Honduras), The Free State Project (New Hampshire), Liberstad (Norway), Montelibero (Montenegro), Los Propietarios, (Argentina), Liberland (Croatia/Serbia border), Network States in general and Sea Steading (The Oceans).
