PLUS… Venezuela reports foiling “False Flag Attack” on US Embassy in Caracas as US Prepares for InvasionDear Subscribers,The organized crime “government” appears to be going for maximum “Divide and Conquer” while simultaneously building up a goon force of ICE agents, national guard, and others willing to use violence on the population. Immigration is the engineered reason du jour… I say engineered because I believe the organized crime “government” threw the 2020 election to Biden so he could take the brunt of the criticism for “The Covid” and leave the borders wide open to set the stage for the exact militarization that we are seeing today. The organized crime bankers saved their other puppet, Donald Trump, who has more gravitas with conservatives, military, and law enforcement to be the populist strong man capable of leading the domestic army that the “founding fathers” both warned us about and simultaneously set the stage for by sticking us with a “government.”ICE is now offering $50,000 signing bonuses for their masked goon squad while ratcheting up military-style operations within the United States. Last week they rappelled onto an apartment building in Chicago from a helicopter and swept the building tossing flash bang grenades while shooting a promotional video.Drugs are the stated reason, but the organized crime “government” could break the back of the cartels tomorrow just by legalizing drug use… Which isn’t really a crime and where prohibition causes many more problems than it solves. Drug prohibition also allows the intelligence agencies to make billions while creating the police state you see around us.The goal is divide and conquer, building a goon force, and normalizing military-style operations and militarized federal primacy in the supposedly independent States as the country is slowly bankrupted by weaponized inflation and confiscatory taxes and tariffs.Our other top story is the US is preparing for a war with Venezuela and today (Monday) the Venezuelan government is warning that it foiled a false flag attack on the US embassy in Caracas that could have been used as a manufactured excuse for such an invasion.The Art of Liberty Foundation is organizing resistance by widely exposing the illegitimacy and criminality of “government.” The solution is a peaceful and orderly dissolution of the organized crime federal “government” and rolling everything back to the individual States until their operations can be rolled back and privatized as well.We hope you will support us on our mission by becoming a sponsor of the Foundation at https://artofliberty.org/sponsorship-program/ We have some great premiums to say: THANK YOU!Top Stories of the WeekUS military ‘preparing to seize ports & airfields’ in Venezuela as Trump declares full-scale war on drug cartelsTrump’s memo to Congress grants him wartime powers to strike, kill, and detain cartel fighters without trialEtienne Note: Today (Monday, October 6th) the Venezuelan government is warning that it foiled a false flag attack on the US embassy in Caracas that could have been used as a manufactured excuse for such an invasion.AMERICA’S military is preparing to seize ports and airfields in Venezuela, it’s reported – as Donald Trump declared a full-scale war on drug cartels.The President stunned Washington by formally declaring the US is in a “non-international armed conflict” with the Latin American “terrorist organisations”.

The press release promised lower drug costs and a revival of U.S. manufacturing. President Donald Trump touted that Pfizer would cut Medicaid drug prices for low-income Americans and sell new medicines at a “most-favored-nation” price — but only in exchange for tariff relief.In reality, it appears to be a multi-billion dollar effort to entrench Pfizer’s failed gene-transfer platforms for decades to come.The deal secures a $70 billion commitment to U.S. R&D — a down payment on Pfizer’s next wave of gene-based products:Cancer “vaccines”Obesity injectionsExpanded vaccine portfolio (flu, RSV, bird flu, more)Chronic disease biologics in inflammation & immunologyPfizer itself spelled it out:“With this agreement in place, Pfizer can fully focus on delivering the next generation of cures… in areas like oncology, obesity, vaccines, and inflammation and immunology.”Continue readingGlass Bottles Contain More Microplastics Than Plastic Bottlesby Dr. Joseph MercolaA French government study found that glass bottles contain five to 50 times more microplastics than plastic bottles, mostly from the painted caps that seal themResearchers discovered that the microscopic plastic fragments in glass-packaged drinks matched the chemical makeup of the bottle cap paint, not the glass itselfWhen bottle caps were pre-cleaned with filtered air and ethanol, microplastic levels dropped by over 60% — showing this problem is avoidable with simple changesMany people now consume roughly 5 grams of plastic per week — the weight of a credit card — from foods, drinking water, and even from breathing polluted airMicroplastics accumulate in your organs, especially the brain, where they trigger inflammation, obstruct blood flow, and accelerate cognitive decline and neurodegenerationContinue reading“Government”, Media and AcademiaCriminality ExposedThese articles also appears in “Government”, Media and Academia Criminality Exposed, A digest of HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of articles exposing and suggesting inter-generational organized crime’s control of the “Government,” Media and Academia by the Art of Liberty Foundation.

Lisa Murkowski discovered that the Trump administration had pulled education funding for institutions serving Alaskan and Hawaiian Natives.It was close to $350 million, “that we just found out about,” she told NOTUS last week, as Congress sat in a stalemate over how to prevent a government shutdown.The Department of Education announced the change on Sept. 10, stating that the funding intended for those programs would be repurposed for other unspecified education programs.Continue reading“Daily News of The Week”The Century of Forgotten Vaccine Hot Lot Disastersby A Midwestern DoctorStory at a Glance:•Producing a vaccine has many opportunities for error or contamination. Because of this, disasters continually occur from “hot vaccine lots” being unleashed onto the public. Remarkably, as the years have gone by, there has been less and less accountability for this (e.g., previously public investigations were held and people went to jail whereas now government tends to keep the hot lots on the market and deny there is a problem).•In 1967, an eminent bacteriologist wrote a book detailing many forgotten vaccine disasters under the belief (he shared with many of his anonymous colleagues) that unless his profession was honest about the dangers of vaccination, the mistakes which led to those disasters would keep on repeating.•Many of the disasters he detailed related to an excessively dangerous vaccine lot being released onto the market. Remarkably, many of the disasters he detailed mirrored what occurred in the decades that followed (e.g., this article discusses the documented DPT and anthrax hot lots which caused a tsunami of injuries in infants and veterans).Continue readingTrump’s NSPM-7 Labels Common Beliefs As Terrorism “Indicators”by Ken KlippensteinWith the mainstream media distracted by the made-for-TV drama of James Comey’s indictment, Trump has signed a little-noticed national security directive identifying “anti-Christian” and “anti-American” views as indicators of radical left violence. Called National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, it’s being referred to as “NSPM-7” by administration insiders.“This is the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left wing terrorism,” Trump’s homeland security advisor Stephen Miller said, referring to the issuance.To the extent that the major media noticed the directive at all, they (even C-SPAN!) incorrectly labeled it an “executive order,” like this week’s designation of “Antifa” as a domestic terrorist organization.It’s hard to overstate how much different NSPM-7 is from the over 200 executive orders Trump has frantically signed since coming back into office.Continue readingThe Post Office Has Become An Embarrassmentby Quoth the RavenThis week I landed myself smack dab in the middle of a real-life example of just how piss-poor of a capital allocator the government is compared to the free, for-profit market.Usually, when I want to mail something, I walk a block or two to either the UPS Store or the FedEx store. Both are pretty similar: fairly busy (especially around the holidays), offering print and copy services, and staffed with employees who—while not saints—are at least competent enough to get your package labeled, shipped, and tracked with as little fuss or bullshit as possible.The price is slightly costly, but at least the service gets the job done.Cut to this week, however, when I had to mail something to a PO Box. Turns out you can’t do that through UPS or FedEx, which meant I was grudgingly forced to venture into the local post office. Always crowded. Always understaffed. Always a line out the door.Continue readingIgnore Ukraine (Trump Is), Pay Attention to Venezuelaby Larry C. JohnsonI think this picture captures the essence of US foreign policy with respect to Ukraine and Syria. What do you think?Trump’s Truth on Russia and Ukraine spread like a California wildfire across social media in the last 24 hours. Supporters of Ukraine were elated… at least initially. I got a nice shout out today from my friend, Alexander Mercouris, who agreed with my assessment that Trump’s Ukraine/Russia Truth was actually a piece of sophisticated sarcasm. But Alexander did a better job than me in explaining the nature of this sarcasm. So, back at you Alexander. Brother Mercouris explained that Trump, rather than debate Kellogg and the neocons who wanted to push the Russia-is-losing narrative, essentially said to them, “You’re right,” and then took that claim to a logical conclusion. Rather than argue with Kellogg and the neocons he said:Continue readingNew fastest car on the planet Is 2,977 HP Chinese EV that beats Bugatti to record speeds of 308.4 mphby Joseph BroganBUGATTI’S claim to production car fame has not only been matched, but surpassed by a Chinese EV maker, which also took the title of fastest EV in the process.Although there are a few asterisks to address, the feat has both introduced a new name to the top of the mass manufacturing mountain, and set a new production car speed record.Behind the wheel for the lap was German race driver Marc Basseng, a former FIA GT1 World Championship and Clio Cup Germany winner.This eclipses the previous record set by the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ prototype in August 2019 by a winning margin of 3.6 mph over the Bugatti’s 304.8 mph, driven by Le Mans winner Andy Wallace.The U9X clocks in with 2,977 hp, more than double the 1,288 hp the anything-but-basic U9 model has, from four electric motors with each powering its own wheel.Continue readingDenis Rancourt – What All-Cause Mortality Tells us About the Scam of “The Covid”by Canary in a Covid WorldBy Denis Rancourt, PhDThis guest post comes from Dr. Denis Rancourt — one of our Canaries. Denis contributed the final chapter (There Was No Pandemic) of Volume 1, Canary in a Covid World: How Propaganda and Censorship Changed Our (My) World. In that chapter, as in this essay, he forces us to confront uncomfortable truths about mortality, power, and the narratives we are told. Today he expands on those themes with insights drawn from his years of research with CORRELATION Research in the Public Interest. His data-driven analysis of all-cause mortality during COVID is widely accepted, and the evidence is difficult to ignore. When we first spoke with Professor Rancourt, his work was not widely known. Yet, upon reviewing the data, we found his analysis difficult to refute. We are pleased to see that his research is now widely cited.Continue readingOrganized Crime: The Unvarnished Truth about Government — Thomas J. DiLorenzoby Liberty Advocate, ironcountynews.orgThomas J. DiLorenzo writes from the Austrian-economics tradition (think the Mises Institute). Expect:Mises on why planners can’t “price” things they don’t own,Hayek on why useful knowledge is scattered among regular people,Rothbard on the state as a monopoly that uses force,Public Choice (Buchanan/Tullock) on how politicians and agencies follow incentives just like everyone else.His baseline test is simple: coercion vs. consent. Markets are voluntary—buyers and sellers can walk away. Government, even when smiling, ultimately relies on rules you can’t refuse.It’s a bundle of essays, not one long argument. Topics bounce from regulation and money to unions, antitrust, welfare, policing, war, and federal politics. The repeating claim:A lot of “public service” behaves like organized crime: protection rackets, cartels, and shakedowns—made respectable by law, ceremony, and slogans.Continue readingVietnam Closes Another 86 Million Bank Accounts, A Week After Thailand Froze 3 MillionBy SamuelVietnam is planning to close 86 million unverified bank accounts by the end of the year under biometric laws.Vietnam is preparing to close 86 million bank accounts that fail to meet biometric verification standards. The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) confirmed that the move will take effect by September.The decision comes as part of an effort to secure the country’s financial system, curb fraud and push toward a cashless economy.Vietnam had around 200 million bank accounts as of last year. However, after biometric checks, only 113 million personal and 711,000 organisational accounts were found to have been valid.This means that those who fail to update records will be shut down permanently.The SBV said accounts without verified biometric data are highly vulnerable to scams. In other words, closing them is necessary to protect users and prevent abuse by fraud rings. Recent police reports showed cases where AI-driven facial spoofing helped criminals launder money through fake accounts.Continue readingWhy Libertarians Don’t Get Along, Part 2by Christopher Cook via The Advocates for Self-GovernmentThere is a joke in libertarian circles:Q: What is the difference between a minarchist and an anarchist?A: About six months.The deepening of my classical liberal views, from mainstream conservatism to austere libertarianism, required a great deal of study, conversation, and mind-bending exploration. All told, it took about 15 years. The last portion of that journey, however—from minarchist to anarchist—really did take just about exactly six months!There is definitely something to that joke.Once I made that final swim to Anarchist Island, a whole new journey had begun. What exactly had I become? I had to study more. And what happened next is pertinent to our discussion today.Being a sociable member of a social species, my first stop was to seek out others like me—in this case, in an online group of anarcho-libertarians. What do you think happened next?Continue readingTrump Expands Federal Powers Under “Domestic Terrorism” Directiveby Veronika KyrylenkoLast Thursday, President Donald Trump issued National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), titled “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence.”The directive orders federal agencies to build a far-reaching law enforcement strategy to investigate and dismantle what it calls “sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted intimidation, radicalization, threats, and violence.”“Heinous assassinations and other acts of political violence in the United States have dramatically increased in recent years,” the memorandum states. It cites the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, attacks on a healthcare executive and Justice Brett Kavanaugh, riots that caused “over $2 billion in property damage nationwide,” and shootings at an ICE facility in Texas.Continue readingThe BritCard Digital ID Psyopby Iain DavisApparently, in order to be able to work in the UK, we will all be forced to adopt digital ID—the mandatory so-called BritCard. There is absolutely no public appetite for this, as the more than 2 million and rising (at the time of writing) signatures to the online petition to stop it demonstrates.Of course, online petitions don’t make any difference to governments, but at least they illustrate to us that government propaganda, such as the IPSOS poll that alleges 57% of the UK public want digital ID, is garbage. Though given IPSOS enormous number of government contracts, including its contract to assist in the design of the BritCard, willingly fulfilling its propaganda role is understandable.Proudly announcing mandatory digital ID at the Global Progress Action Summit, Keir Starmer said:Continue readingThe American Academy of Pediatrics — Mining Children for Profitby Dr. Joseph MercolaThe American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is heavily funded by pharmaceutical companies, influencing policies that promote more medical interventions for children while reducing parental controlThe AAP’s top priority is to eliminate parental authority over childhood vaccination decisions, replacing it with state or provider controlMajor child health issues like rising obesity, increasing autism rates, and chronic illness prevention are absent from the AAP’s top 10 prioritiesThe AAP uses rare measles outbreaks to justify removing personal and religious vaccine exemptions, despite measles mortality already being near zero before mass vaccination beganIgnoring preventive strategies, the AAP’s approach sets children up for lifelong dependence on pharmaceutical products rather than building lasting healthContinue readingFluoridation, Brought To You By… The Sugar Industryby Alan MacleodThe provocations increased last week, as the Navy entered Venezuelan waters, raiding a Venezuelan fishing boat and detaining its crew. And on Tuesday, the U.S. carried out a strike on another small vessel, killing at least three people. Trump justified the attack, claiming that after the attack, “big bags of cocaine and fentanyl” were “spattered all over the ocean.”Tren de Aragua has become something of an obsession for the Trump administration. On his first day in office in January, Trump designated the Venezuelan gang a “foreign terrorist organization,” claiming that they have sown “violence and terror” throughout the Western hemisphere, and “flooded the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals, and vicious gangs.”In March, he invoked the 1789 Alien Enemies Act to declare that the United States had been “invaded” by Tren de Aragua. And in August, he put a $50 million bounty on the head of President Maduro, claiming that he directed both Tren de Aragua and the Cartel de los Soles (the Cartel of the Suns). This, the announcement stated, made Maduro “one of the largest narco-traffickers in the world.”Continue readingThe Wheels of Government CheeseAuthored by Javier Simon via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the way we complete tasks, and it’s becoming a part of our everyday lives. But like many technological innovations, AI can be a double-edged sword.It can make life easier. And it can open the door to a new generation of scammers and fraudsters who can steal everything from your money to your identity.

Politicians trying to stoke both their fundraisers and their bases for support are already rehearsing their lines for their kabuki performance.From the theater critic’s corner, the upcoming episode looks to be even dumber than the last one. That is really saying something because that episode turned into a total bust. In a sense, the stage show got cancelled before it even opened because Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) and nine others backed down when they realized they stood to lose far more than they could ever win.This time around, they intend to rewrite the script. It’s as if they see a chance to snatch defeat from the jaws of their previous, already almost-forgotten embarrassment.Continue readingWhat You Need To Know About AI ScamsAuthored by Javier Simon via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the way we complete tasks, and it’s becoming a part of our everyday lives.

THE SILENT COLD RAGE AT QUANTICOSometimes a photo says it better than words. The event at Quantico Virginia will go down in history, but not the way Trump and Hegseth expect. The Military at Quantico silently but clearly reacted to this unprecedented event. But not in the way Trump wanted or expected. For Trump it was, in Churchill’s immortal words,“Not the end, it’s not even the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning.”What the Trump Administration faced this morning was two words: COLD REJECTION. Rejection of the Trump Administration to lead the Commanders of the United States Military into the future of 21st Century warfare .The Military may salute them, the military may follow precise written legal orders, but the Military will not follow them into their retreat from the modern world, contracting into the Western Hemisphere like shriveling bullies afraid of the modern world and focus on “reestablishing order” in American cities. It’s quite preposterous.Continue readingObama-Era Mojave Desert Solar Plant Once Hailed As A Marvel Will Close As A Glowing Relicby Tyler DurdenAuthored by Beige Luciano-Adams via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),LOS ANGELES—It is a familiar sight for revelers traveling Interstate 15 from Southern California to Las Vegas: In the final stretches of the Californian Mojave Desert, just before the Nevada border, there is little else interrupting the vast, Martian expanse aside from a near-abandoned border town and this glittering relic of California’s renewable energy boom.A little more than a decade ago, the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System opened to great fanfare, with a $1.6 billion loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)—part of the Obama administration’s push to install green energy production on public lands—and a promise to help California meet its increasingly ambitious decarbonization goals.Continue readingNew Breakthrough Could Bring Holograms to Your Smart Phone and into Daily TasksBy Andy CorbleyUntil now, holograms have been created using lasers, but now researchers have used a new ensemble of components that could unleash this technology on the market.With their ubiquity in science fiction, and carrying the potential to transform smart devices, communication, gaming, and entertainment, holograms would be a major technological advancement, if we could find an easier way of projecting them.A team at the University of St. Andrews have found that ‘Holographic Metasurfaces’ (HMs) and Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) give a simpler and more compact approach that is potentially cheaper and easier to apply, overcoming the main barriers to hologram technology being used more widely.Organic light-emitting diodes are thin film devices widely used to make the colored pixels in mobile phone displays and some TVs. As a flat and surface-emitting light source, OLEDs are also used in emerging applications such as optical wireless communications, biophotonics, and sensing, where the ability to integrate with other technologies makes them good candidates to realize miniaturized light-based platforms.Continue readingAll COVID Vaccines Increase Cancer Risk, New Study Concludesby Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.This article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.COVID-19 vaccines and boosters — both mRNA and non-mRNA — pose an increased risk of six types of cancer and a 27% higher risk of cancer overall, according to a recent South Korean study of over 8 million people.Four South Korean researchers published the report last week as a letter in Biomarker Research, a Springer Nature journal.According to the study, COVID-19 vaccines and boosters are associated with a higher risk of breast, colorectal, gastric, lung, prostate and thyroid cancer, across all vaccine types and age groups.Mainstream medical commentators were quick to dismiss the findings, with MedPageToday describing it as “flawed.” But other medical and scientific experts disagreed.Continue readingIs Substack a Censored Platform?Etienne Note: I am starting to think we were bait-and-switched into Substack where they let our content be shared organically at first to get us on the platform and then began turning up the shadow-banning and censorship: My evidence: 1.

How many of our other subscribers has that happened to as well? Substack plays the same game as Fedbook where in your Substack feed they will tempt you with articles from folks you have NOT subscribed to… Are they trying to move folks to controlled opposition accounts, AI-generated accounts, or time-wasters?

These lessons come from building Infinita City (a longevity-focused network society Layer 2), investing through Infinita VC, and serving as both an advisor to and resident in Próspera.Building a real-life jurisdiction is hard. There’s little best practice, no clear playbook, and no repeatable business model. The closest we have is Balaji Srinivasan’s The Network State. Many readers don’t find it very practical, but I think it contains deep, original ideas (I’ll return to them in Part 2). Another reference is Mark Frazier’s Founding Startup Societies, comprehensive, with multiple possible directions, but difficult to distill into a standard practice, especially for a tech-driven approach.To be sure we’re talking about real-life jurisdictions – not a Discord server, a Metaverse project, or an “online city”. There has been a wave of projects that seem to have misunderstood that part. As Balaji puts it: “Online first, land second, but not land never.” Some projects, like Próspera or Ciudad Morazán, started with land. Others, like Balaji’s Network School, began online to prove an alternative. These approaches are somewhat in conflict (more below), and neither is necessarily better – it depends on your starting conditions. In the end, you have to bring it together.Continue readinghttps://www.fsp.org/fall-fest – October 11-13thhttps://blockchainnh.comhttps://freecitiesconference.comThe LiberatorThe Liberator– Our archive of “government” and media criminalityImportant Note: New additions are added to the authoritative Liberator Dropboxes regularly but will not appear in the physical credit card-sized flash drive until we launch the next version.

Hundreds of millions spent each year and over $300 billion sent to Israel since 1948… Even with them spying on us and shooting up the USS Liberty… There were 250 US legislators in Israel this month… How brazen can you get..The featured story this week is James Corbett’s superb new documentary: Dissent into Madness – which breaks down how psychology has been and is used to make dissidents seem crazy BUT it is really the political leaders and their followers who meet the text book definition of psychopathy! If you have a friend or family member who thinks you are crazy for not believing in organized crime “government” this will have you grinning from ear-to-ear!Best parts of the documentary for me were learning about the psychopathy of “founding father” Dr. Benjamin Rush, who I had a positive view of for his support of medical freedom, until I learned about his “tranquilizing chair”. Pictures in the article. The best part was James breaking down dozens (hundreds?) of almost completely identical stories from almost every monopoly news outlet “explaining” why people believe in “Conspiracy Theories” like 9-11 and JFK. It’s almost like they are all reading off the same script… Get your popcorn on and throw it on the big screen!I have a little media campaign going on for my new book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many. The image below is my one-pager for podcast and radio talk show hosts. Can you help me forward this along to your favorite hosts? Some shows I’d like to do: Joe Rogan, Patrick Bet-David, Jimmy Dore, Redacted, Kim Iversen, David Knight, Theo Von, Breaking Point, Chris Martensen, Neil Oliver, Sabby Sabs, and Diary of a CEO. If anyone has any “Ins” it would be greatly appreciated!Amazon (A Mason?) has “Stolen the Buy Box” from us. Even though I am the author of To See the Cage is To Leave It AND have copies at Amazon.com ready for shipping (Liberty Literature is our store name) they are buying the book from our distributor (Ingram) and drop shipping from Ingram vs. letting us sell our own book. It sure smells like economic warfare to me. If you liked the book, would you please consider leaving us a review on the Amazon website since so many people use that as a barometer.I just updated this for 2025! Let me know what I forgot?Top Stories of the WeekDissent Into Madness – New James Corbett Documentary on the Weaponization of Psychology vs. DissentJames Corbett knocks the ball out of the park again: “What if the delusions of the dissidents are in fact real? What if their paranoid fantasies are not fantasies at all? In other words, what if it’s not the political dissidents who are crazy, but the politicians?”James Corbett’s new documentary traces how psychology has been used as a weapon against political dissidents, from Soviet “sluggish schizophrenia” diagnoses to early American psychiatric abuse including one of the most prominent “Founding Fathers.”Corbett examines Benjamin Rush, the “father of American psychiatry,” who invented a “disorder” called “anarchia” – defined as having too much love of liberty.Continue reading…Voluntaryist Charity Option of the WeekIn a previous life after I left the “Big 4” think tank I occasionally mention, I slung Internet for global ISPs (DIGEX/Intermedia and Savvis). When I started in the industry at DIGEX, the first person I met (who also started at the same time I did) was an amazing guy named John Ferrandino, he is an ex-professional and D1 soccer player (Hall of Fame at GMU) that remains one of the most charismatic people that I have ever met. He has been the life of every party, dinner and conversation he was ever in. A really superb individual and friend. He was in a tragic accident over a week ago and remains in a coma today after multiple surgeries. He has two kids and was “on the bench” when the accident happened so the worst time to have a tragedy like this befall a family. There is a fundraiser to help him out at https://www.gofundme.com/f/team-dino-support-john-ferrandino-in-the-fight-for-his-life#Voluntaryism for the win!Videos of the WeekDear Bobby, what is REALLY going on?Trump recommendedAvoid vaccines with (neurotoxic) aluminum and mercury and that they are trying to take them out of the injectionsAvoid Hepatitis B vaccine until 12 years-old because it’s a sexually transmitted infection and newborns don’t have sex!Avoid the MMR vaccine and take them separately (one for measles, one for mumps and another for rubella, but in different doctor visits)At least, space vaccines along years, never all in one visit, considering it’s 80 immunizationsAvoid Tylenol during pregnancy and breastfeeding and giving it to the babyNote: Tylenol is acetaminophen, also known as paracetamol, is a non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic agent used to treat fever and mild to moderate pain.

It is the force of attraction between the partially positive hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the partially negative oxygen atom of another. When it’s within the temperature range of liquid water, the bonds are constantly breaking and reforming. As it freezes, each water molecule forms four hydrogen bonds and a crystalline structure is created that is less dense than liquid, allowing it the ability to float and insulate the liquid water beneath it. And when heated into vapor, there are no hydrogen bonds, until it begins to cool, and the hydrogen bonds return it to a liquid state.Continue reading…Dr. Sam Bailey Interviews Sally Fallon-Morell, Founder of the Weston Price Foundationby Dr Sam BaileyFrom October the 17th to 19th, 2025 Drs Mark and Sam Bailey will be giving a number of live talks at the Wise Traditions Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.

European leaders have in recent months repeatedly accused Tehran of refusing to abide by the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action’s terms. A core, repeated claim is the Islamic Republic has collated a uranium stock over 40 times the level permitted under that deal. No supporting evidence for the charge has been provided, and the source of this information isn’t clear.Continue reading“Daily News of The Week”Of Two Minds – The Moral Decay of Debtbyoftwominds.comDebt has moral implications, and in denying this, we’re choosing a rendezvous with NemesisLet’s start with a household analogy. A married couple have four fine children, and since expenses are higher than income, they borrow money in their children’s names to fund their lifestyle and investments. Once the offspring reach 18 years of age, the debt their parents borrowed is theirs to service.The offspring didn’t get a say in how much money was borrowed or how it was spent, but the debt is now theirs to service (i.e. pay the interest) for their entire lifetimes, as the debt is simply too large to pay off with conventional wages.The economy changed, and since wages don’t go as far and costs keep rising, the four offspring borrow in their own children’s names to afford the basics of a middle-class life.The parents are now comfortably retired, drawing on their investments bought with borrowed money. The two generations behind them are now debt-serfs who funded their own lifestyles by borrowing even more money. Since the kind of house their parents bought for 3-times-income is now 6-times-income, the debt required to own a house and fund what is considered the minimum middle-class entitlements is multiples of their parents’ borrowing.Is anyone willing to call this offloading of ever-expanding debt onto future generations wrong, as in morally wrong, or have we lost the vocabulary and ability to declare the offloading of debt as morally disgraceful, a line that should never have been crossed?Continue readingSocial Security retirement age could jump as White House considers optionsBy Daniel MilleA potential increase to the retirement age is under consideration by the Trump administration.Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano addressed the matter during a FOX News interview, explaining that many options are being considered.The move is being discussed in part to keep Social Security from reaching insolvency.The Trump administration is reportedly considering many options to avoid Social Security insolvency, which includes raising the retirement age.When asked if he would consider raising the retirement age during a FOX News interview on Thursday, Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano said, “I think everything’s being considered, will be considered.”Why you should care:FOX Business, citing Social Security Administration data, reported that Social Security’s two main trust funds, the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and Disability Insurance (DI) funds, are projected to reach insolvency by 2034.Continue readingNo More Masked ICE In LA; Gov. Newsom Signs ‘No Secret Police’ Act In Latest MAGA Rebuke: “Kristi Noem Is Going To Have A Bad Day Today”By Dominic Patten“Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today,” exclaimed Gavin Newsom‘s press office X feed this morning, calling out the South Park–parodied Homeland Security Secretary by name. “You’re welcome, America.”The taunting post came just a few hours before the California Governor Saturday put pen to paper on Senate Bills 627, a.k.a. the “No Secret Police Act” and 805 a.k.a The “No Vigilantes Act” in a public ceremony in LA.“ICE, unmask, what are you afraid of?” said Gov. Newsom in Sat, surrounded by Mayor Karen Bass, LA County Supervisor (and ex-Labor Secretary) Hilda Solis, LASUD Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho and others. “This is not about the pronoun police, this is about the secret police,” Newsom added, quoting The Daily Show‘s Jon Stewart.Among the dangers of the newly enlarged ICE is that they are becoming a private police force, the term limited Newson stated, “that it appears to many of us have sworn an oath to Donald Trump, not the Constitution …this is not America.”Continue readingThe science of slumber: How sleep became the ultimate anti-aging treatmentby Willow TohiFor generations, “beauty sleep” was dismissed as a folk tale, a quaint notion with no basis in biology. But a convergence of clinical research from dermatology and sleep medicine is now revealing a profound truth: the path to radiant, youthful skin is paved with consistent, quality rest. Groundbreaking studies are moving beyond anecdotal evidence, providing scientific validation that sleep is not a passive state but an active, essential repair session for the body’s largest organ—the skin. This new understanding positions sleep as a non-negotiable component of skincare, on par with diet and sun protection, and challenges a culture that often prizes productivity over rest.Continue readingMilei Admits “The Market Is In Panic Mode” As Argentine Capital Exodus Acceleratesby Tyler DurdenFollowing his government’s resounding loss in local elections – seen as a harbinger of next month’s congressional races – Argentine President Milei is facing a renewed crisis as the embattled South American country’s currency is collapsing amid fears that he will scrap his defense of the peso (which has already cost hundreds of millions of dollars) and let it plunge as so many of his predecessors have done.“The market,” Milei said when collared by a local journalist for a brief interview late Friday, is “in panic mode.”In a desperate attempt to satisfy demand for hard currency and prevent the peso from cratering, the three-day intervention figure rose to $1.1 billion, a staggering amount in a country that, by economists’ best estimates, has less than $20 billion in liquid foreign reserves.Continue readingMaking Standard Time Permanent Will Be Healthier for Americans: Studyby Naveen AthrappullyAdopting a permanent standard time in the United States rather than changing times biannually is a healthier option for Americans, according to a Sept. 15 peer-reviewed study published in the PNAS journal.“Seasonal changes in time policy, such as switching between Standard Time (SDT) and Daylight Saving Time (DST), have been adopted by many countries, including the United States,” the study’s authors from Stanford University said. “While transitioning between SDT and DST has notable acute negative population health impacts, the chronic impact of these time policies on health has not been well evaluated.”Researchers looked at how SDT, DST, and biannual shifting between these two time setups affect people’s circadian rhythms and health. Circadian rhythm is a person’s innate 24-hour clock that regulates several physiological processes in their body.Continue readingIngenious space-saving Tiny Workshop named 2025 Shed of the YearBy Adam WilliamsThe Cuprinol Shed of the Year winner for 2025 has been announced. London’s Mike Robinson has won with his ingenious space-saving Tiny Workshop, which showcases an inspired use of shelving and spare parts.Described as small but mighty by Shed of the Year founder Andrew Wilcox, the Tiny Workshop was conceived when Robinson couldn’t find a shed that perfectly matched his small garden plot. Deciding to improvise, he bolted together two sets of heavy duty steel shelving units and went from there.The shed measures 3 x 1 x 2.4 m (9.10 x 3.3 x 7.10 ft). Two doors open at the bottom and top to provide flooring and rain protection, while the interior has been fitted with shelving and drawers, as well as a place to sit and enjoy the space.Inside, its workbench and tool walls are made from birch plywood offcuts and there’s also indirect LED lighting installed. Looking to the future, a newly planted green roof will continue to grow and cover it with greenery.Continue readingDavid Friedman’s Economics Jokesby David FriedmanI have a small collection of economics jokes, not jokes about economics but jokes that teach economics. Here are all of them:1. Two economists walked past a Porsche showroom with an elegant sports car visible through the window:First Economist: “I really want that car.”Second Economist: “Obviously not.”2. An economist and a businessman were walking in the wood when they encountered a large and hungry bear. The economist turned to run.Businessman: “You don’t think you can outrun a bear, do you?”(Contributed by Dennis Hanseman, editor of my Price Theory)3. What is sweeter than honey?Free vinegar.(From a Middle Eastern cookbook by Claudia Roden)4.

Reminds me of the famous quote from George Orwell’s 1984: “Actually, as Winston well knew, it was only four years since Oceania had been at war with Eastasia and in alliance with Eurasia. But that was merely a piece of furtive knowledge which he happened to possess because his memory was not satisfactorily under control. Officially the change of partners had never happened. Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible” – From 1984 by George Orwell which gave the world the word: DoubleThink to describe the acceptance of contrary opinions or beliefs at the same time, especially as a result of political indoctrinationContinue readingAnd Suddenly… The Robots AppearedBy: Gerrit De Vynck, Lisa Bonos via WPJensen Huang says, “The ChatGPT moment for general robotics is just around the corner.” Tesla’s Optimus robot is predicted to be the biggest product in history, topping over $1 trillion in the first few years.

As Trump said:“They pump so much stuff into those beautiful little babies, it’s a disgrace.”This was not anticipated based on prior media coverage of this event — and it represents a massive win.Although most of the spotlight fell on Tylenol, the evidence is undeniable: acetaminophen is NOT the root cause. At most, it weakens defenses and heightens vulnerability. The true trigger — then and now — is VACCINES.The most comprehensive review to date, by Prada et al, evaluated acetaminophen use during pregnancy:Continue readingFrom WMDs to “Narco-States”: How the US Sells Wars the Intelligence Doesn’t Supportby Alan MacleodThe provocations increased last week, as the Navy entered Venezuelan waters, raiding a Venezuelan fishing boat and detaining its crew. And on Tuesday, the U.S. carried out a strike on another small vessel, killing at least three people. Trump justified the attack, claiming that after the attack, “big bags of cocaine and fentanyl” were “spattered all over the ocean.”Tren de Aragua has become something of an obsession for the Trump administration. On his first day in office in January, Trump designated the Venezuelan gang a “foreign terrorist organization,” claiming that they have sown “violence and terror” throughout the Western hemisphere, and “flooded the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals, and vicious gangs.”In March, he invoked the 1789 Alien Enemies Act to declare that the United States had been “invaded” by Tren de Aragua. And in August, he put a $50 million bounty on the head of President Maduro, claiming that he directed both Tren de Aragua and the Cartel de los Soles (the Cartel of the Suns). This, the announcement stated, made Maduro “one of the largest narco-traffickers in the world.”Continue readingInfiltration: A Cardinal Function of the Zionist Movementby David Millerhat is the function of the Zionist movement? Let’s start with four statements that together define what the Zionist movement does by adding its functions cumulatively.The Zionist movement creates and sustains the “Israel lobby” to extend its ideological and political reach, shaping both foreign and domestic policy in the countries where it operates. It provides material support for ethnic cleansing and genocide, funneling millions each year through charities that aid in land theft and war crimes. It grooms children and youth into ideological loyalists through a vast network of schools, synagogues, youth groups and settler recruitment programs, including Birthright tours, the Masa journey and the Lone Soldier Program. Beyond all this, the movement systematically dispatches its adherents into broader society as lifelong agents of Zionist ideology. This is not a metaphor. It is infiltration.Continue readingCharlie Kirk “MAGIC BULLET” FOUND!by Peggy HallHey friends, did you hear the news?The bullet has been found.The missing bullet that has never been entered into evidence, has never been shown on the news or even been reported by law enforcement has somehow turned up — lodged into the bullet of “Man of Steel” Charlie Kirk.I break it all down for you here:Now before some people get bent out of shape with my analysis here, let me state emphatically:I’m not after Charlie Kirk. I’m not after Erika Kirk.I am after the truth.And I am looking for clues and I am drawing conclusions based on what I see and the patterns that emerge, and how those patterns match up with these very curious connections with Freemasonry, Scientology, Mormonism and Hermeticism (which is also connected to the “Dawn of the Golden Age” — sound familiar?)I’ve already done several videos touching on these topics, which you can view in my Charlie Kirk Youtube playlist here.Continue readingThe Processed Meat Industry Uses Dirty Tactics to Further Its Goalsby Dr. Joseph MercolaSodium nitrite is a chemical that creates artificial pink coloring in processed meats.

It is also effective in treating prolonged seizures.In the US, it is used as part of a three-drug cocktail for lethal injections:midazolam, to sedate;vecuronium bromide, to paralyze the muscles;potassium chloride, to stop the heart.Midazolam is known as a high-risk drug that should be administered only while under close medical observation.The most serious side effect of midazolam is respiratory depression, which can lead to respiratory arrest if not properly managed.Associated Press last year reported at least 16 people died in California over a decade following a physical encounter with police during which medical personnel also injected them with a powerful sedative. Midazolam was given in 15 of the 16 California cases, all by paramedics outside of a hospital. As AP noted:Continue readingFirst Circuit Affirms The Conviction Of An Innocent Man: The Ian Freeman Case -Convicted for selling Bitcoinby The Free Thought Project(Jacob G. Hornberger) On July 29, 2025, a three-judge panel of the First Circuit federal Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the criminal convictions and incarceration of libertarian Bitcoin activist Ian Freeman, who I have steadfastly maintained is an innocent man who federal officials railroaded into an 8-year prison sentence, which he is now serving.Here are my articles about the Freeman case, which explain in detail why this man is innocent:A person who is convicted of a crime in a U.S. District Court has the right to appeal his conviction to the federal Court of Appeals in the circuit in which the District Court is situated. To do that, he must file a Notice of Appeal. He must then file an appellate brief stating what exactly are the legal rulings that the District Judge made that void the conviction or that require the case to be sent back for a new trial. He must cite legal authority (i.e., legal opinions from similar federal cases) to support each of his points. There is something important to note about the defendant’s appellate brief: If he fails to challenge a particular ruling of the District Judge, he waives the point. That is, it is gone forever. He cannot later raise it during oral arguments or at a later time.Continue readingTrump Shocks World With Major Ukrainian U-Turn (…Or Did He Fool Us All?)by SimpliciusAs I was writing the previous report, Trump had tweeted something which has nearly “broken the internet”—at least the Russo-Ukrainian political side of it. I figured it would be more fitting to do a quick separate article on the matter, given that it seemed immediately obvious to me what was happening, and required no further rumination.Yes, ol’ Devious Don has shocked the world with a new “180-degree turn” on Ukraine, as expressed in his latest diatribe-as-tweet. In it, the Donald suddenly reverses course to fully back Ukraine fighting on and retaking all of its ‘historic’ land from Russia to the 1991 borders and even beyond, as he implies Ukraine could perhaps even march on Moscow, taking cues from Yushchenko’s latest enlightened turn.Some even see this as a kind of major declaration of war against Russia, and proof that the US will now funnel every imaginable weapon, and do everything in its power to “defeat” Russia in this mother-of-all-proxies .Continue readingIf Socialists Actually Understood SocialismEtienne Note: I “value-added” this article with some Dank Liberty Memes from: The Liberator.by Mises Wire, Emric EgbertIn light of recent developments in New York City, specifically on the recent primary elections and the emergence of self-described democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as a potential mayoral candidate, as well as the increasingly aggressive public engagement of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in their tour around the United States, and the fact that AOC’s chances of becoming the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee have doubled within one week, it has become clear to me that socialist rhetoric is gaining momentum in American political discourse.This trend is further reflected in survey data from the Pew Research Center, which shows that approximately 36 percent of U.S. adults aged 18 to 29 now view socialism positively. In response to these developments, it is imperative to contribute to the proper education and clarification of what these socialists are actually advocating for, or even what true socialism truly advocates for.Continue readingWhy the Government Is So Loved by So Manyby Mises Wire•Ryan McMakenOne of the most memorable passages in the memoir of the escaped slave Frederick Douglass is where he describes how one group of slaves would argue with another group of slaves over whose master was richer or stronger. Exhibiting a mixture of Stockholm syndrome with delusions of grandeur, these slaves, according to Douglass, “seemed to think that the greatness of their masters was transferable to themselves.” Moreover, Douglass noted that the slaves tended to not judge the behavior of their masters by any set objective standards, but in comparison to other masters.
