5 Meme FRIDAY

If you spin the “Z” Amazon spells: A Mason – Plus MORE evidenceDear Subscribers,Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!In my book “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!, I make the case that one of the hidden scams of Amazon is that if you spin the “Z” in Amazon into an “S” it spells: A Mason. The downward dip of the smile is a hidden reference to the Masonic Square while the arrow at the top of the smile is a hidden reference to the Masonic compass.The font of the letter “a” they choose for the logo conveniently makes a “g” when reversed and Amazon uses that single a(g) in the open box logo below that further reveals and symbolizes the Masonic logo for those “with eyes to see”.The final bit of Masonic symbolism in the Amazon logo is the hidden arrow in the smile that Amazon claims represents the fact that you can get everything from “A to Z” except… the arrow doesn’t really point to the letter “Z” in the logo…It actually points to the letter “O” which has additional Masonic significance:In Freemasonry, the phrase “Alpha to Omega” (from the Greek letters Α and Ω, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet) holds deep symbolic meaning, drawing from biblical references in the Book of Revelation (e.g., Revelation 22:13: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last”). It represents the eternal and all-encompassing nature of the divine, often referred to as the Great Architect of the Universe (GAOTU) in Masonic tradition.My thesis is that the inter-generational organized crime system behind banking, central banking is using “government” as a technique for robbing and controlling populations. As I break down in my article Who Runs the World? – Organized Crime’s Front Groups & Secret Societies, Free Masonry has long been one of inter-generational organized crime’s front groups. With an international network of lodges, members sworn to secrecy, and evaluated by degree, freemasonry gives the local lodge the ability to dominate local political systems by acting in unison and financing their own to control local political systems, the sheriff, police chief, courts. They even created the 1st “gang sign” the Masonic “Hidden Hand” visible in official portraits of dozens and dozens of Masons including those guilty of the murder of tens of millions through the imposition of socialism/communism (”government” 2.0) on their populations.Internationally, the leadership at the top of that hierarchical system, has the ability to project power globally by leveraging the local lodge networks in each country when needed. It doesn’t mean that every Mason is an unindicted co-conspirator, many are “Porch Masons” who have been duped into organized crime lodges to be used as window dressing. Many lodges and Masons have tried to stay true to Masonry’s stated goals of communicating to its adherents first principles, objective morality, and Natural Law. The Great Work.In another excerpt from “Government” that I wrote with Mark Passio: An Open Letter to Freemasonry – It’s Time to Clean the Lodge!, we honor these Masons and suggest they clean up the lodge system.Back to Amazon… What is the connection to Amazon?The most powerful weapon in organized crime’s arsenal is “control of perception.” Can the organized crime system control the information the population receives to conceal the theft of trillions through fractional reserve banking, no-bid “government” contracts, mandatory “vaccinations,” and scams like 9-11 and “The Covid?”Obviously, the ability to censor, manipulate book reviews and wage economic warfare against mom and pop retailers and non-cartel on-line sellers would be attractive.Our thesis is that the organized crime “government” took internet technologies developed on the taxpayer nickel and privatized the profits for defense industry insiders. The internet was invented by the Defense Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) later renamed the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Jeff Bezos’ grandfather, Lawrence P. Gise, was a DARPA co-founder. Google, Facebook, and other companies caught algorithmically censoring information on the DARPA Internet also have links to the intelligence agencies and Pentagram..err.. Pentagon.Here are a few paragraphs on Amazon’s many crimes from “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!:Amazon has been caught digitally burning books (remotely deleting books) on their “Kindle” and “Fire platforms, censoring books exposing The Sandy Hook hoax,9-11 Truth, engineered Islamic mass migration in Europe, and other government criminality, censoring books reviews including negative reviews of Hillary Clinton´s book “What Happened”.Amason Prime removed the award-winning documentary Vaxxed which exposed that the CDC has been lying about vaccines causing autism, other vaccine-awareness videos including Shoot-EM Up- The Truth About Vaccines, and Man-Made Pandemic. They also censored Flipping the Script: When Parents Flight Back (harmfulness of chemotherapy for kids), Root Causes (Harmfulness of root canals), Behind the Fear: The Hidden Story of HIV (HIV Scam) & Cancer Can Be Killed (how to cure cancer naturally),Amazon Prime (and Netflix with their $50M deal with the Obamas) are the prime outlets for the 800+ movies and 1000+ television shows funded/supported by the DoD and intelligence agencies that are product-placing the American flag, making government employees (FBI/CIA/ATF/Police, etc) the heroes, and using propaganda techniques like anchoring where scenes of high positive emotion are created and the “anchored” to the flag.So… Even though we know Amazon is untrustworthy, we are using their platform to get our books out to expose the illegitimacy and criminality of “government” and the theft of TRILLIONS.So.. While our usual advice is: “Even though you can get anything you want from A Mason in two days with free shipping… you shouldn’t.. if you can avoid it.”We also understand the realities of their superior distribution network vs. the monopoly “government” post office.

If you don’t trust AI they I would suggest watching the whole video.. I would suggest you do that, even if you skim the summary, to understand why it is important to watch the video.A widespread property tax fraud linked to school district bonds is causing millions of Americans to overpay taxes, risking mass bankruptcies and housing market collapse. Expert Mitch Vexler exposes the illegal overvaluation practices, the unsustainable $5.1 trillion bond debt, and calls for repealing property taxes in favor of a uniform state sales tax to restore fairness and affordability.Property taxes are a significant expense for homeowners across the United States, but what if much of what we pay is based on fraudulent valuations and illegal practices? Mitch Vexler, a real estate broker and business model expert, has been fighting against massive property tax fraud since 2016. His work exposes how school district bonds and central appraisal districts have been overvaluing properties, leading to exorbitant tax bills that many cannot afford.Continue 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.

Bill C-9 is a censorship bill. Its purpose is to restrict open and honest debate in this country. It is a political weapon to silence dissent, disagreement, or facts the government finds inconvenient or at odds with their agenda. This bill attacks the very foundation of a free and democratic society. It declares that the state is ‘the authority’ to decide what is acceptable speech and what is not.This bill isn’t drafted at the request of Canadians. Canadians love free speech. Canadians love to express their opinions, likes, and dislikes. Canadians like to share their perspectives, their ideas, and their concerns. The ability to speak freely is what people appreciate about living in a free country.The Federal government is at war with us. This government is at war with our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It is declaring that it will decide what speech is acceptable and what is not. It wants to become the moral authority in this country. This government is intent on replacing God. It is destroying what makes a western nation great and the envy of people around the world.Continue readingHow Milei Is Flirting With Failure in ArgentinaBy Doug Casey, International ManI think it will interest you not because of my moral case against taxes (a case which was new to most attendees), but because of the reasons Milei is flirting with failure (reasons that I don’t think most of the attendees had considered).—It’s a strange pleasure to be speaking at a tax conference. It makes me feel as if I’ve been accepted into polite company, perhaps even invited to join the elite.Since we’re at a tax conference, I think it’s appropriate to lay some philosophical groundwork. To ask some questions, and state some principles to help introduce myself. Like any sensible person, I despise taxes. So consider these propositions and questions:First, Why taxes are immoral and innately destructive.Second, Why taxes aren’t necessary.Third, What is the Milei regime doing wrong?Continue readingEighteen Years Ago: Journalist Gary Webb Was Murdered After Exposing CIA Drug TraffickingBy Christine ChungTravelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social mBy Jeremy KuzmarovOn December 10, 2004, the body of journalist Gary Webb, 49, was discovered in his home near Sacramento after a moving company worker found a note posted to his front door that read: “Please do not enter. Call 911 and ask for an ambulance.”Webb’s death was listed as a suicide, but Webb was found with two bullet holes in the head, indicating that he was executed.[1]In the days leading up to his death, Webb had told friends that he was receiving death threats, being regularly followed by what he thought were government agents, and that he was concerned about strange individuals who were seen breaking into and leaving his house.In the late 1990s, Webb had written a series of stories for the San José Mercury News, which provided the basis for his book, Dark Alliance: The CIA, the Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion (New York: Seven Stories Press, 1998).Continue readingedia history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization.In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to require applicants to provide a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children.Continue readingBREAKING: Peer-Reviewed Reanalysis of the Henry Ford Birth Cohort Study Finds Vaccinated Children Sicker Across All 22 Chronic Disease Categoriesby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHOur newly published, peer-reviewed critique and independent reanalysis of the Henry Ford vaccinated–unvaccinated birth cohort study (Lamerato et al.) — revealed at the U.S. Senate Hearing on September 9, 2025 — shows that the original authors failed to analyze or disclose the dramatic proportional differences present in their own data.Authored by John W. Oller, Jr., PhD; Daniel Broudy, PhD; and Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, this peer-review and reanalysis provides the first accurate proportional interpretation of the dataset.The Lamerato et al. study of a total population of 18,468 individuals between birth and 18 years of age during the years from 2000 to 2016 — of which the 16,511 in the vaccinated cohort received a median of 18 vaccines, whereas the 1,957 in the unvaccinated cohort received none at all — probably represents the most comprehensive real-world comparison of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children ever conducted within a self-contained whole population in a full-service integrated health system in the US.Continue readingBrown Bondi Double Bill: We Demand Better PsyopsBy Gemma O’Doherty2025 was the year of some of the most contrived media hoaxes and they’re desperate to cram in a few more before December is out. This weekend, the yids gave us a double whammy with some awful tripe from Bondi to put a dampener on the barby season and remind the groypers in Ausjailia who’s boss. We got another trailerload of manure from Brown University, Rhode Island. Where these psyops actually took place is anyone’s guess – they could just as easily have been thrown together in a seedy film studio on a back street of Haifa.The purpose as always: to justify more police state and control over the dummies, generate more fear, tighter gun laws, more surveillance, more hate speech laws and more taxpayer cash for phony defence budgets. Anyone for digital ID?Let’s get Bondi out of the way. Official story: Eleven killed after gunmen target Jewish festival in deadliest Australia shooting in decades, blah blah blah. Here we see a recycled crisis actor who also took part in the October 7 hollow hoax – they must be running out of assets. He oozes authenticity with all that cherry sauce stuck to his face. It’s probably a latex mask. They bandaged up his head but forgot to clean him off. Doctors these days! Still it makes for more donations in the GoFraudMeContinue readingTis the Season to Be Psy-Opped: The Bondi Beach ‘Shooting’Etienne Note: In my Subscriber letter for the Substack version of Five Meme Friday that will be published at FiveMemeFriday.Substack.com after this article so it can be included, I break down more suspicious evidence especially the case of Arsen Ostrovsky, a high-level, international pro-Zionist lawfare lawyer and propagandist (Mossad?) who arrived back in Australia two weeks before the attack, just in time to get “grazed” and interviewed by international media where he made pro-Zionist /pro-Israel talking points.Interestingly, even though he had allegedly received medical attention for his wound as he was wrapped in a bandage, the medical team didn’t clear the blood from his face. Equally suspicious, if you search his name on Substack, you will be able to reach Pro-Israel versions of his story. Still, there are many stories about him where Substack has the new age-restriction feature turned on, BUT the link to age verify is dead, prohibiting you from reading those articles. Interesting that this feature was turned on four days before this attack.Continue readingTHE DIRTY DOZEN: 12 REASONS TO BAN GLYPHOSATE HERBICIDES.By GMO/Toxin free USA TeamTHE DIRTY DOZEN: 12 REASONS TO BAN GLYPHOSATE HERBICIDES. TAKE ACTION TO TELL THE WHITE HOUSE & CONGRESS TO BAN GLYPHOSATE. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.1. RETRACTED: The study that served as the cornerstone of regulators’ assessment of glyphosate’s safety, leading to EPA approvals of glyphosate-based herbicides, has now been retracted. It has been revealed that the study, “Safety Evaluation and Risk Assessment of the Herbicide Roundup and Its Active Ingredient, Glyphosate, for Humans,” was ghostwritten by Monsanto. The Editor-in-Chief of Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, which published the study in 2000, cites these reasons for its retraction:The study’s conclusions regarding the carcinogenicity of glyphosate are based solely on unpublished studies from Monsanto.The authors did not include multiple long-term chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity studies that had already been published at the time of writing their review in 1999.Continue readingWhat Led Utah to be the First State Ever to Ban Fluoridation?By Fluoride Action NetworkDear Reader• Utah had one of the worst fluoridation overfeed accidents in US history.• From long before the accident, and continuously afterward, FAN has been laying the groundwork for stopping fluoridation.A recent academic paper describes how a major fluoridation technological failing and recent fluoride science helped push Utah to be the first state to ever ban fluoridation. Utah’s ban is even more consequential because it reversed mandatory fluoridation in the state’s largest population counties.The paper, by Brigham Young University engineering professor Robert B. Sowby, PhD, is titled Fluoride failure: From Sandy City’s water system incident to statewide ban and beyond. It describes in detail the series of technical and human errors in the city of Sandy Utah, in 2019, that caused a fluoride overfeed accident that raised tap water fluoride concentrations as high as 150 mg/L. That is more than 300x greater than the intended concentration of 0.7 mg/L and far higher than the EPA’s allowed maximum. A health report found the overfeed sickened at least 239 people with symptoms including vomiting and headaches. At least one child experienced serious long-term effects. He gave riveting testimony at Utah Senate hearings that helped gain passage of the ban.Continue readingHitler Was Controlled Oppositionby Sotiris RexAll the Axis powers combined had neither the resources nor the manpower to take on the Allies — not even close. It’s basic mathematics. What lunatic would open multiple fronts at once, surrounded by enemies, cut off from resources, and take on the massive (both in population and land) juggernaut of the Soviet Union without accounting for winter? Even if Blitzkrieg was successful, the Axis powers would still have to occupy massive stretches of land filled with hostile populations.The only reasonable explanation and deduction for the World Wars is that both sides’ puppet-leaders were working for the same bosses, whether they were aware of whom they were serving or not. Who were the bosses? The global banking cartel, their Swiss overlords, who found themselves literally in the middle of two World Wars, unscathed, untouched, unbothered, funding both sides of both conflicts, and somehow ending up with all the Nazi gold.Continue readingWhy Governments Prefer Cigarette Revenue over Safer Alternativesby Roger BateIn December 2024, Congress did something unusual: it introduced a bill that openly acknowledges tobacco harm reduction. The POUCH Act of 2024, sponsored by Rep. Jack Bergman (R-MI) and co-sponsored by Rep. Don Davis (D-NC), aims to prevent states and cities from banning or restricting FDA–authorized lower-risk products, including modern nicotine pouches and vaping products.It is a modest bill, but one that finally moves federal policy in a sensible direction. The basic premise is straightforward: if the FDA has determined that a product is appropriate for the protection of public health, states should not be allowed to ban it for political, fiscal, or ideological reasons. This should not be a radical idea, but within the chaos of American nicotine regulation, it almost counts as revolutionary.Continue readingWall Street’s $4 Quadrillion Backbone To Roll-Out Tokenized US Treasuriesby Tyler DurdenAuthored by Jesse Coghlan via CoinTelegraph.com,The Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation said it is set to bring tokenized US Treasurys onchain, and plans to expand to a “broad spectrum” of assets in the future.The DTCC said on Wednesday that it plans to “enable a subset of US Treasury securities” custodied at its subsidiary, the Depository Trust Company, to be minted on the Canton Network, a permissioned blockchain created by the fintech company Digital Asset.“This collaboration creates a roadmap to bring real-world, high-value tokenization use cases to market, starting with US Treasury securities and eventually expanding to a broad spectrum of DTC-eligible assets across network providers,” said DTCC CEO Frank LaSalla.The DTCC runs crucial market infrastructure for clearing, settlement and trading of US securities and reported that its subsidiaries processed $3.7 quadrillion in securities transactions last year.Continue readingTheyLied: Death by a thousand clicks – government censorship of Canada’s internetby TheyLiedNew report by The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), Dec. 15, 2025:CALGARY, AB: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announces its latest publication, Death by a thousand clicks: The rise of internet censorship and control in Canada, authored by veteran journalist and researcher Nigel Hannaford. The report outlines how recommendations from the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislative Review Panel in 2020 set the stage for a series of federal bills that have collectively transformed Canada’s once open internet into a state-managed digital environment that restricts what Canadians may access, share, and say online.The report highlights the following federal legislation:Online Streaming Act (C-11): Passed in 2023, this Bill gives the CRTC power to regulate online videos and other content, including material created by everyday Canadians. It also lets the government influence online “discoverability,” meaning it can push certain content to the top of your feeds while making other content harder to find.Continue readingHack Reveals the a16z-Backed Phone Farm Flooding TikTok With AI InfluencersBy Emanuel MaibergHey there,Back in October I wrote about Doublespeed, an a16z-backed startup that uses a phone farm to flood social media with AI-generated influencers. It’s one of the more dystopian startups we’ve seen, but its impact on our social media feeds was largely theoretical. Today, thanks to a hacker who discovered a vulnerability in Doublespeed’s operation, I have a story that exposes what these accounts look like, what kind of content they’re posting, and what products they’re promoting.-EmanuelDoublespeed, a startup backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) that uses a phone farm to manage at least hundreds of AI-generated social media accounts and promote products has been hacked. The hack reveals what products the AI-generated accounts are promoting, often without the required disclosure that these are advertisements, and allowed the hacker to take control of more than 1,000 smartphones that power the company.Continue readingU.S. Stillbirth Rates 17 Percent Higher Than CDC ReportingEtienne Note: They buried the headline: “The study comes on the heels of multiple large-scale studies that have identified reproductive and fertility impacts to those who received an mRNA COVID shot. A June 2025 Israeli study found that women who received their first mRNA COVID shot during early pregnancy, specifically between weeks eight and 13, were significantly more likely to experience pregnancy loss than expected. The study, the first national-scale analysis to examine gestational timing in relation to mRNA vaccination, found nearly four additional losses per 100 pregnancies in this group, representing a roughly 40 percent increase over the baseline rate. Most of these losses occurred during late-term pregnancy, with the majority happening after 20 weeks gestation and nearly half after 25 weeks—placing them in the category of stillbirths.7”Continue readingWhy Most Published Research Findings Are Falseby John P. A. IoannidisThere is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false. The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser preselection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance. Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias. In this essay, I discuss the implications of these problems for the conduct and interpretation of research.Continue readingAIPAC Head Hosts Fundraiser for House Candidate Who Swears AIPAC Isn’t Backing HerEtienne Note: Israel is starting to more secretly fund its organized crime politicians that vote to send billions to organized crime Israel.by Akela Lacy, Jonah ValdezThe American Israel Public Affairs Committee is not publicly backing any candidate in the race to replace Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky in Illinois’s 9th Congressional District. But in private, the group is fundraising for Democratic state Sen. Laura Fine, who has distanced herself from AIPAC and said she isn’t seeking its endorsement.AIPAC board president Michael Tuchin hosted a private fundraiser for Fine on Monday at his Los Angeles law office, where an Intercept reporter was turned away in the building’s front lobby. “The Intercept should not be here at all,” said a building security guard, relaying a message from fundraiser organizers.Continue readingTwo Brown University Students Are Linked to Other School Shootings – What Are the Odds?by Democracy Now, Redacted and ABCTwo Brown University students, Mia Tretta, who was reportedly shot in the stomach during a school shooting at Saugus High School in 2019, and Zoe Weissman, who was nearby during the Parkland school shooting in 2018, have dominated in the media and set the narrative.Former CIA agent Kevin Shipp said that it is suspicious when victims/ survivors appear on the scene at multiple suspected false flag or staged events that are unrelated. He explains why shootings at suspected orchestrated shootings almost always involve only lone shooters..Summary by JW WilliamsOn December 13, 2025, a mass shooting occurred at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, during the second day of final examination week for the fall semester. A gunman entered the school and killed two students and wounded nine other students as they attended a review session in preparation for final exams.Continue readingTHE OECD’S DRINKING DIVIDE: High vs. Low Alcohol Consumptionby pjayakody75Alcohol use stands as a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, especially among working-age adults. OECD data for 2023 highlights wide differences in consumption: Latvia and Portugal record the highest levels at over 11.5 litres of pure alcohol per person, while Türkiye, Israel, Costa Rica, and Colombia remain below 5 litres. Despite declines in average consumption across most countries since 2013, harmful drinking continues to pose risks. Around one in four adults reports heavy episodic drinking at least monthly, underscoring persistent concerns within specific population groups.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, HondurasMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekBand Aid – Do They Know It’s Christmas?A Christmas song proving we don’t need “Government”“Do They Know It’s Christmas?“ is a charity song written in 1984 by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia. It was first recorded by Band Aid, a supergroup assembled by Geldof and Ure consisting of popular British and Irish musicians, in a single day at Sarm West Studios in Notting Hill, London, in November 1984.“Do They Know It’s Christmas?” was released in the UK on 7 December 1984. It entered the UK singles chart at number one, where it remained for five weeks, becoming Christmas number one. It sold a million copies in the first week, making it the fastest-selling single in UK chart history until Elton John‘s “Candle in the Wind 1997“. UK sales passed three million by 1985. The song also reached number one in 13 other countries. In the US, it fell short of the top ten in the Billboard Hot 100, but sold an estimated 2.5 million copies by 1985. It had sold 11.7 million copies worldwide by 1989 and 3.8 million in the UK by 2017.“Do They Know It’s Christmas?” raised £8 million for Ethiopia within a year, far exceeding Geldof’s hopes. The success inspired other charity singles, such as “We Are the World“ (1985) by USA for Africa, and charity events such as Comic Relief and the 1985 Live Aid concert. Some critics and musicians said the song misrepresented Africa as barren or ignorant and that its lyrics contains factual inaccuracies; Ure said it was secondary to the purpose of raising money for the cause.“Do They Know It’s Christmas?” was rerecorded and rereleased with different musicians in 1989, 2004 and 2014. The 1989 and 2004 versions also raised funds for famine relief, All three reached number one in the UK, and the 1989 and 2004 versions were Christmas number ones.

His project, Destiny, targets entrepreneurs and investors looking for legal independence and crypto-friendly facilities.Continue readingThe 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.

REMINDER… We have a 15% discount at ArtOfLiberty.org/store until midnight PST TONIGHT!!Dear Subscribers,Happy Holidays! Some Random News Briefs and Thoughts:Earlier this year, I ran into Jeff Berwick at a party in Acapulco. We sat down and discussed my seven part investigation into Anarchapulco and why I think it is an intelligence agency front to crowd-gather and steer the developing voluntaryist and peaceful anarchist movement into controlled opposition voices, infighting, drugs and drinking, while smearing and tarnishing them with staged murders, Flat Earth, cartoonish anti-semitism (vs. legitimate criticims of political zionism and organized crime Israel), while ripping them off with scams ranging from crypto “pumps and dumps” including ARRR, Dero, XEQ, and SmartCash among others, Galt’s Gulch Chile, “The Shemitah,” Passport scams, and “God Energy” that flows from a $12,000 plastic tool box.In front of a crowd at the party, I took Berwick through much of the evidence that I had accumulated doing a real deal investigation and interviewing eight different witnesses including “cast members” from the HBO hit piece “The Anarchists,” former Jeff Berwick employees, and both Anarchapulco employees and attendees.In front of multiple witnesses, Berwick conceded that YES! There was a lot of evidence to suggest that the intelligence agencies might have been running a “smear and steer” at the conference and might have been behind the HBO hit piece that made everyone associated with Anarchapulco look bad… but he wasn’t in on it cause he was drunk at the time…. He invited me to present the findings of my investigation to Anarchapulco 2026.When I messaged the conference producer this week to give them the details for my planned talk: How the CIA “Smears & Steers” Political Movements, deals drugs into them, steers them into controlled opposition voices while stealing the oxygen from authentic resistance & events, I discovered the invitation had been rescinded.LOL.. What should I have expected from a proven serial liar and conman?The Bondi Beach shooting smells like a staged pro-Israel, pro-gun control psyop. I have a boil down from Gemma O’Doherty below but the key appears to be the obvious crisis actor: Arsen Ostrovsky filmed on the scene to make sure the pro-Israel talking points reached the global audience. Ostrovsky is CEO of the International Legal Forum- an Israel-based lawfare shop coordinating lawyers worldwide to crush any “delegitimization” of Israel.• Senior figure at Misgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy, a hard-line security / policy think tank.• Spent years operating out of Israel, then suddenly “moves back” to Australia and, within weeks, becomes the bloodied poster boy of the Bondi shooting – instantly framed as evidence of an “explosion of antisemitism.”Supposedly a survivor of October 7th, he arrived in Australia a couple of weeks ago, just in time to be “grazed” and interviewed. Other evidence of scripting and perception management:There was a video going around breaking down his background that was scrubbed off Substack and seems to be being suppressed on Telegram. Here is my screenshot below where Geopolitics and Empire posted it but then disappeared. It was a French language video if it pops up again can someone send it to me. Substack turns on age verification in Australia four days before AND it is being used to censor information. Search the term: Arsen Ostrovsky on Substack and there are articles that are being censored for age restriction but you can’t click through to verify age and see the article. Try it yourself. There is an obviously AI image of him being made up with stage makeup that is circulating widely to “poison the well” of the truth community. I say “obviously” because anyone who was “backstage” and wanted to expose this would have published more than one photo. “We create a pretend world. We are a global production company: We write the screenplay, we’re the directors, we’re the producers, we’re the main actors. And the world is our stage“. Retired senior Mossad agent (identified only by the pseudonym “Michael”) in a December 2024 interview on the CBS program 60 Minutes.REMINDER – We have an AMAZING Holiday Sales going on over at ArtOfLiberty.org/Store !

All you can do is lol but I continue to cover these psyops in the hope that just one normie sees through the media lies2025 was the year of some of the most contrived media hoaxes and they’re desperate to cram in a few more before December is out. This weekend, the yids gave us a double whammy with some awful tripe from Bondi to put a dampener on the barby season and remind the groypers in Ausjailia who’s boss. We got another trailerload of manure from Brown University, Rhode Island. Where these psyops actually took place is anyone’s guess – they could just as easily have been thrown together in a seedy film studio on a back street of Haifa.The purpose as always: to justify more police state and control over the dummies, generate more fear, tighter gun laws, more surveillance, more hate speech laws and more taxpayer cash for phony defence budgets.

Pro-tip: Get it with Larken’s The Most Dangerous Superstition, Anarchy Exposed, and with both my books in our “Everything Bundle”If 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!”Continue reading…Videos of the WeekEtienne and Former D1 College Football Player Dr. Barre Lando Discuss Its Hidden AgendasDr. 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?Continue 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.

You can view the other articles or subscribe on Telegram: https://t.me/Government_Scamsby silentcrownews.comTimothy Alexander Guzman, Silent Crow News – If someone or some organization can win an award for hypocrisy, the Trump regime would win in a landslide. Recently, US President Donald Trump has pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez, a former president of Honduras and a convicted drug trafficker known as the ‘Narco-Dictator’ who was convicted by a grand jury in New York City for importing 400 tons of cocaine and weapons into the United States. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Mr. Hernandez was convicted “for cocaine importation and related weapons offenses.” Let that sink in for a minute, Hernandez helped import more than ‘400 tons’ of cocaine and weapons into the United States, and Trump pardoned him, at the same time, a new war is on the table in Washington to remove Venezuela’s President, Nicolas Maduro for allegedly sending drugs into the United States. This is hypocricy on steroids.The Department of Justice published a Press Release on June 6, 2024, titled, ‘Juan Orlando Hernández, Former President of Honduras, sentenced to 45 Years in Prison for Conspiring to Distribute More Than 400 Tons of Cocaine and Related Firearms Offenses.’ The following statement explains in a nutshell what Hernandez was clearly involved in:Continue readingGavin Newsom, the King of Fraud, Lost $54 Billion, Knocking Out Minnesota Gov. Tim Walzby Ramin Real TalkEtienne 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. Her total compensation package also included other benefits.While Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is getting roasted for allowing $1 billion in fraud within the Somali community, Gavin Newsom, who lost $54 billion, is the Democrats’ top pick to run for president. Under Newsom, California has been scammed out of $32 billion in unemployment fraud, $13 billion in medical fraud and $6 billion in food stamps.California’s one-party rule has led to no investigation, no accountability, no consequences. No one is even asking questions. The liberal media wants Nesom to be president. So they look the other way.Continue readingWe Had 400 People Shop For Groceries.

Discovery (WBD), an American media conglomerate that owns an iconic movie studio, HBO, and other news and entertainment properties. The offer is meant to upend Netflix’s deal to purchase WBD for $72 billion, which WBD accepted last Friday.Paramount’s press release announcing the offer says that the $40 billion in equity financing will be “backstopped by Ellison Family and RedBird Capital.” The CEO of Paramount is David Ellison, the son of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, the second-wealthiest person in the world. RedBird Capital is an investment fund based in New York.

There are many reasons why, including the decrease in value (buying power) of the fiat money we’re forced to use to buy things that has not been made up for by an increase in the quantity of fiat money we have to accept as payment for the work we do.But there is another – subtler – reason. It is one a reader got me to thinking about that I think it’s worth all of us thinking about. It is how people renting vehicles – leasing them – is driving up the cost of buying vehicles.Continue readingIsraeli ‘Predator’ Smartphone Spyware Exposedby Kit KlarenbergAll my investigations are free to read, thanks to the enormous generosity of my readers.

This includes ‘Predator’, a highly invasive resource linked to grave human rights abuses in multiple countries. Intellexa’s menacing technology allows government customers to access target smartphones’ cameras, microphones, encrypted chat apps, emails, GPS locations, photos, files, browsing activity, and more. It’s just the latest example of an Israeli-linked spyware specialist acting with no consideration for the law – although one wouldn’t know that from Amnesty’s probe.Continue readingFDA Expands Probe Into COVID Vaccine-Related Deaths to Include Adultsby Suzanne Burdick, Ph.Dm, The DefenderThis 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.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expanding its probe into COVID-19 vaccine-related deaths to adults, after initially confirming that the agency was investigating the deaths of 10 children who died after receiving the shot.The “FDA is doing a thorough investigation, across multiple age groups, of deaths potentially related to COVID vaccines,” a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services(HHS) spokesperson told The Defender today. HHS provided no further details.Continue readingUSA demands visitors disclose 5 years of social media history…By Christine ChungTravelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization.In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to require applicants to provide a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children.Continue readingNearly Half Of Netflix Kids’ Shows Expose Children To LGBT Propaganda: Reportby Beth BreljeWhile Netflix and Warner Bros. lock horns over a possible merger, some parents are worried it will expand the LGBT messaging seen in nearly half of Netflix’s children’s programming to other programs that would come under its umbrella.Children’s programming is a powerful tool for changing culture by speaking directly to children.By age four, most children, 58 percent, have their own video tablet, according to Common Sense Media. But the shows aimed at children can’t be trusted with your child’s brain.Television producers are using their entertainment platforms to normalize LGBT values in the minds of very impressionable audiences, and it is becoming the rule, not the exception.Continue reading…Nick Fuentes Is Owned By The Fedsby Gemma O’DohertyThe golden rule of thumb when establishing who is controlled opposition in this matrix of misinformation is whether they are allowed to trend on Twitter or anywhere on social media. If the controllers want you to know about something, they will push it hard online and make it go fake viral: therefore we can conclude that the Epstein files, the Burke drama and the Charlie/Candace charade for example are psyops because they are given stratospheric boosting by the algorithm which makes normie/beginner trufers think ‘everyone believes them so should I’. They haven’t worked out yet that they are nothing more than actors on the Zionist stage, either under intense MK Ultra brainwashing like the Burkes or captured by blackmail like Charlie and Candace.Continue reading…FDA to Probe Safety of RSV Shot for Infants, Citing Deaths Reported in Clinical Trialsby The DefenderThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has launched a renewed safety review of the RSV shots given to infants to protect against the virus, Reuters reported today. The agency plans to investigate two monoclonal antibody shots: Beyfortus, made by AstraZeneca and Sanofi, and Enflonsia, made by Merck. Both are currently recommended for most infants in the U.S.The monoclonal antibody shots are not traditional vaccines. Instead, they’re designed to temporarily provide infants with “passive immunity” — which means antibodies, not created by their own immune systems, to fight the virus.Safety questions about the shots first surfaced during the summer, when Tracy Beth Høeg, Ph.D., then a senior adviser to the FDA, raised concerns, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spokesperson Andrew Nixon told Reuters.Continue reading…Machine-Speed Warfare: When Drones Decide Faster Than Humansby Tyler DurdenAuthored by Tamuz Itai via The Epoch Times,On June 1, 2025, 117 quadcopters—total cost under $120,000—flew from hidden launchers inside Russia and crippled 10 strategic bombers across five air bases in a single morning.Operation Spiderweb, as Ukraine called it.It was a public demonstration of a new form of conflict: When the price of precision falls far enough, scale becomes inevitable, and scale forces autonomy. That autonomy, in turn, moves the battlefield faster than human minds can reliably follow. We seem to be entering the era of machine-speed warfare.Continue reading…Airbus CEO said the future of commercial aviation could be a B-2 bomber-like plane with a cabin in the wingBy Taylor RainsAirbus’ CEO said the next generation of commercial aircraft could look like the B-2 bomber.The design combines the fuselage and wings into one giant wing with the cabin built inside.It promises better fuel burn and passenger space, but it may have few windows.The future of aviation could look surprisingly similar to the triangular paper airplanes you folded as a kid.In an interview with Tobias Fuchs and Martin Murphy at the German newspaper Bild, Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury said that over the next 30 or 40 years, planemakers may abandon the traditional tube-and-wing layout for a single, thick wing with the passenger cabin built inside.Continue readingRFK Jr’s MAHA Psyop: Kennedy Is a Fraud Who Has Conned and Betrayed the “Make America Healthy Again” Movement He Launchedby Alexis Baden-MayerBy the summer of 2023, I had stopped supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign because I learned he supported U.S. military aid to Israel in its murderous occupation of Palestine, but I was a true believer earlier that year in April as I watched his kick-off speech. I was so proud and hopeful when he highlighted the legal work he did against my nemesis Monsanto (now Bayer) on behalf of Roundup-exposed cancer victims. I listened with rapt attention as he quoted the infamous Ralph Reed to describe the “safe” type of cabinet secretaries the typical President picks, as those who “get the joke” (meaning they know, even though they’re paid by the public, that their real job is to protect corporate interests). I loved it when delivered the zingers, “I get the joke, but I don’t think it’s funny” and “I’m not safe; my job is to keep you safe.”Continue reading…Why Smart People Must Stay Away From Stupid People -Schopenhauerby Dostoevsky’s CornerWe’ve all met those people. The ones who walk around thinking they’re the smartest person in the room. When, honestly, they’re not even close. The coworker who confidently gives terrible advice. The friend who lies so smoothly you’d swear they rehearsed it. The random internet genius who knows everything except the actual facts. The ones proudly sprinting around with a full-blown Dunning-Krueger effect. And people like these seem harmless, but they are not at all. And believe it or not, we’re not the first to notice how dangerous, stupid, noisy, confused people can be.The 19th century philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer felt exactly the same way. He believed that unnecessary noise, whether literal noise or the noise of foolish people, is the enemy of deep thought. In his essay on noise, he even wrote that noise is the most impertinent of all interruptions. To him, nothing revealed human stupidity more clearly than how easily people accept or create pointless noise and distraction.Continue reading…University of Colorado will pay $10 million to staff, students for trying to force them to take COVID shotsby Calvin FreiburgerAURORA, Colorado (LifeSiteNews) — The University of Colorado’s Anschutz School of Medicine must pay more than $10.3 million to 18 plaintiffs it attempted to force into taking COVID-19 shots despite religious objections, in a settlement announced by the religious liberty law firm the Thomas More Society.As previously covered by LifeSiteNews, in April 2021, the University of Colorado (UC) announced its requirement that all staff and students receive COVID jabs, leaving specific policy details to individual campuses. On September 1, 2021, it enforced an updated policy stating that “religious exemption may be submitted based on a person’s religious belief whose teachings are opposed to all immunizations,” but required not only a written explanation why one’s “sincerely held religious belief, practice of observance prevents them” from taking the jabs, but also whether they “had an influenza or other vaccine in the past.”On September 24, the policy was revised to stating that “religious accommodation may be granted based on an employee’s religious beliefs,” but “will not be granted if the accommodation would unduly burden the health and safety of other Individuals, patients, or the campus community.”Continue readingAll the ways Israel is being cancelledby Nicole LampertSpain, Ireland and the Netherlands boycotting the Eurovision Song Contest due to Israel’s inclusion in the competition is only the latest attempt to “cancel” the Jewish state over its war against Hamas.Indeed, only this week, it emerged that Guinness World Records had informed the Matnat Chaim charity that its plans to bring together 2,000 people to donate kidneys couldn’t become an official record because it is an Israeli organisation. The London-based organisation claimed this was fair, as it was also banning submissions from the Palestinian territories unless they were done in co-operation with the UN (an organisation with which Israel now refuses to work due to perceived bias).Guinness World Records justified its policy on the basis of “just how sensitive this is at the moment”.“Sensitivity” has become a familiar refrain, as Israel has been cancelled by individuals and organisations in almost every area of public life since Hamas’s attack on the country on Oct 7 2023.Continue reading…Outrage builds as ‘Franken-milk’ made in labs prepares to hit US grocery shelvesBy Chris Melore, Us Assistant Science EditorA Frankenstein-like milk that comes from lab-grown ‘mammalian cell cultures’ is just months away from being sold in US grocery stores, but it’s already facing fierce resistance.Dubbed UnReal Milk, the new beverage is not produced by real animals, but comes from large lab tanks called bioreactors that use special animal cells which produce the same proteins, fats, and carbs found in regular cow’s milk.The makers of the milk alternative, Brown Foods, plan to start selling UnReal Milk in US stores in 2026, with public taste tests happening now.The company revealed it has a green light to sell their milk because it is using ‘generally recognized as safe’ (GRAS) ingredients and self-affirming its own safety data.It’s a common path many new food companies use instead of waiting years for full FDA approval.Co-founder of Brown Foods Sohail Gupta even told Forbes: ‘Though we are starting with cow milk, using our technology we can produce milk of any mammalian species, including human milk.’Continue reading…Etienne de la Boetie2 on the Higherside Chats with Greg Carlwood Exposes the Statism Psyop & Mind Control Techniques Used by “Gov’t” & Monopoly MediaGreg Carlwood:It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, people. 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. What is it all for? And how pervasive is the propaganda in our lives that convinces us all not only to participate, but that we’re actually lucky to be able to? Well, today we’re talking once again to Etienne de la Boetie2.Continue reading…The Disasters of Government Enterpriseby Mises Wire, Gregory BresigerIt’s a weekend in Pittsburgh and lots of people here and elsewhere around the country are waiting for a money-losing service called government transit.The system here, the same as many others throughout the nation, has two speeds—slow and slower. People search on their cellphones for when the buses are coming. Yet the system’s updates are often misleading. Buses never seem to come in the predicted time. Sometimes a promised bus—say one supposedly coming in ten minutes or less—will disappear from your cellphone. “The bus just dropped from my cellphone. That’s the second time it’s happened to me in the last few minutes,” said one frustrated rider. The bus information is worse than slow, it’s misleading.Yet I am not criticizing Pittsburg’s polite bus drivers who seem to suffer under the same problems as the riders: Their interaction with the incompetence of government reminds me of other government enterprises in other cities. (My childhood friend from New York City drove subway trains for several decades. He thought those running the system were “idiots”.) My target is more than sleazy, vote-hungry, pols on the hustings calling for more and more of this noxious thing called government enterprise.Continue reading…I See Them – A Poem of Awakening by Paul JenningsI SEE THEM!We shouldn’t play this rigged game,We should step off this train.Made up religions,To create control and division.Made up festivals – Xmas, valentines, easter, bonfire, Halloween mothers day, fathers day, to keep the economy growing,Make the world work faster without us sheeple even knowing.Use tech firms, tv screens, newspapers, radio and apps to subconsciously guide people into what to think and to do,Repeat the narrative enough times and we wont have a clue.They use fear to control populations as their number one tool,Fear pumped into us every day and it started at school.Fear has been used throughout the ages,To control the masses without using cages.Continue reading…Glyphosate “Safety” Study Ghostwritten by Monsanto Retracted After 25 Years of DeceptionTHE RETRACTION1. Based almost entirely on Monsanto’s unpublished studies The review’s “no cancer risk” conclusion relied solely on Monsanto-generated data. Even worse, the authors ignored multiple long-term mouse and rat carcinogenicity studies that already existed at the time — including multi-year toxicity studies showing tumor signals. None were incorporated.2. Evidence of ghostwriting by Monsanto Litigation records revealed that Monsanto employees secretly co-wrote portions of the paper, despite never being listed as authors or acknowledged. This alone violates the most basic principles of scientific integrity.3. Undisclosed financial ties The authors appear to have received direct compensation from Monsanto for producing the paper — again undisclosed, again violating journal standards.Continue reading…Why All the Guns In the US Will Never Matter During This Takeover Attemptby jchristoffHow many gun owners are there in the United States? The answer is…more than any other country in the world. There are over 100 million gun owners in the US. Approximately 43% of all homes in the United States hold at least 1 firearm. There are nearly 500 million legal guns inside the United States right now. If we add in illegal guns, there’s plenty more.Oddly enough, the communities that hold the most legal guns, have some of the lowest crime rates. That’s because criminals don’t generally want to engage with a population who are armed. This is also why most other governments have disarmed their citizens, by this point in the takeover attempt.Criminals can’t conduct crime effectively, when their victims are armed. In the video below, we have a great example of American gun ownership.Continue reading..Upcoming 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, HondurasMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekLove Vigilantes by New Order Including the Iron & Wine CoverA powerful song by New Order on one horrific aspect of sending hundreds of thousands or millions to war… Mistakes are made.

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. What is it all for? And how pervasive is the propaganda in our lives that convinces us all not only to participate, but that we’re actually lucky to be able to?

I break it down in our article: Is Amazon A Mason? – Making the Case that AMAZON is Part of Organized Crime´s Control of Perception Programby Greg ReeseAmazon Ring security cameras are now using facial recognition. 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. By 2024, Flock’s cameras have been installed across 42 states, in over 4,000 cities.Continue 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.

But there is one big name that has so far received very little attention.Let’s set the stage. 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.

Vance via LewRockwell.com, Memes added after by Etienne de la Boetie2.Etienne Note: I break down the unethically manipulative techniques used on kids in the “government” school system, scouts, explorers, JROTC, ROTC, and police and military training to produce immoral “order followers” who will murder for the “government” or use violence on peaceful people to raise revenue off their neighbors or imprison people in for-profit prisons for victimless crimes in my book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many.When I first wrote (“Murderers for Trump”) about President Trump ordering air strikes against “narco-terrorists” on boats in international waters in the Caribbean Sea, there had been three “lethal kinetic strikes.” The last time I checked, there have now been 21 such air strikes in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, with 83 people killed.Continue readingICE Is Detaining Military Spouses at Green Card Interviews — Families Call It a BetrayalBy Sohini Sengupta, By Kanika SainiThe last two weeks in San Diego just shredded the illusion that bureaucracy is slow, thanks to ICE. 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. I decided to syndicate this article because she rips Robert Malone, who I think epitomizes a Controlled Opposition shill and organized crime operative that has very obviously been, like many others, been given a media operation and is being circle-jerk interviewed and promoted by other controlled opposition media outlets and organizations.Sasha Latypova’s Article Begins….Breaking news: The FDA, after fake-regulating vaccines for 50 years, and specifically after 5 years of pretending to regulate mRNA shots, “found” 10 dead children ages 7-18. 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. Previously, a 120-stall Supercharger site in Barstow, California, was the company’s largest.Continue readingThe CIA STILL Ships in the Drugs!by The Corbett ReportSHOW NOTES AND COMMENTS: https://corbettreport.com/the-cia-still-ships-in-the-drugs/After the US left Afghanistan, opium production in the production plummeted off a cliff.

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.

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!

Democrat Tim Walz became the Governor of Minnesota in 2019. That year, SNAP benefits totaled $509,464,759 and increased to the staggering amount of $1,985,656,979 in 2022 – close to $2 billion!According to the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF), the numbers are inaccurate because they mistakenly included Pandemic EBT [electronic benefit transfer]. The USDA has not published its 2024 state activities report. Gov. Walz is refusing to share the SNAP data. There are 42 million people receiving SNAP benefits; the USDA reported that dead people are receiving benefits and that over 500,000 are double enrolled in SNAP.Continue readingJPMorgan Bank Flagged Over $1 Billion in Suspicious Transactions Tied to Jeffrey EpsteinEtienne Note: This article 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.

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.

Oh and it’s ALL filtered and excreted by your kidneys in the SAME EXACT WAY.”Sure, aluminum is filtered out of circulation in “the exact same way” by the kidneys, but that’s on the way out.Continue reading1 in 10 Adults Seriously Injured by a COVID Vaccine, New Survey Saysby The Vigilant FoxThis article originally appeared on The Defender and was republished with permission.Guest post by Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.Roughly 10% of all U.S adults who received the COVID-19 vaccine experienced “major” side effects, and over a third (36%) had “minor” side effects, according to a national survey conducted this month. 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). At ~63,000 followers we’re hardly a huge account, but an engagement rate of around 0.07% is incredibly low.Our content generally gets low-double digit “likes”.For what it’s worth, checkers that claim to able to detect these things say we aren’t shadowbanned.We’ve accepted that we’re in the soundproof free speech booth, allowed to say whatever we want as long as no one hears us.But, every so often, we get something to pierce the shield (at least a little bit).

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).

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 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.

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).

This is despite the April 2023 release of a bombshell court filing by the Office of Military Commissions, which concluded at least two of the alleged hijackers were CIA assets, having been recruited “via a liaison relationship” with Saudi intelligence. The same document offers illuminating insight into how the 9/11 Commission buried this, among other inconvenient truths.Continue readingBlockbuster: The Blaze Names Capitol Police Officer/ CIA Agent as a 94% Match for Jan. 6 Pipe BomberEtienne Note: This article 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.

The pipe bombs were discovered just before the riot and some police resources were redirected to investigating the dummy pipe bombs.Continue readingPelosi’s Net Worth Surged 2,297% Since First Taking Office 38 Years AgoEtienne Note: This article 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.

SchmidtHoping to save up to buy braces to fix her teeth, she falsely advertised herself in 2017 as 18 years old on a website that matches men looking for “companionship” with young women looking to make money.What followed would set off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of one of the men she would encounter, Representative Matt Gaetz, the Florida Republican.Continue readingThe REAL Political Spectrum… Around the World – THIS WEEK: EstoniaI am adding a new recurring feature to Five Meme Friday: The REAL Political Spectrum… Around the World! A couple of weeks ago I did an article: The Fake Left-Right Paradigm – What is the REAL Political Spectrum the Monopoly Media is Hiding? where I broke down WHY the monopoly media misrepresents the REAL political spectrum and what the actual political spectrum looks like in the US. That meme went viral so now I am duplicating it for other countries.Can you help? Please e-mail me at Etienne(at)ArtOfLiberty.org to help create a version for YOUR country OR suggest changes for a version we already have circulating.

This in-depth breakdown reveals how Big Tech’s AI boom hides a growing cash flow crisis.In The Big Short, there’s a quiet moment that defines Michael Burry.As his investors press him on why he wants to bet against MBS, the investor asks, “How do you know the bonds are worthless?”“I read them,” Burry says.The investor laughs. “No one reads them. Not even the guys on Wall Street.”Burry ends with “I don’t think they know what they made”That line became legend — because it was true. And it still is.Now, nearly twenty years later, Burry is reading again — and warning again.Only this time, the danger isn’t in mortgage bonds; it’s buried deep inside Big Tech’s balance sheets.Continue readingIs European Bread Healthier Than American Bread?by Dr. Joseph MercolaBread differs significantly between the U.S. and Europe due to wheat type, fermentation time, and chemical use, which shape not only taste and texture but also how your body digests itAmerican bread often uses hard wheat with high gluten, shorter fermentation, and chemical additives. This leads to denser loaves that strain digestion and trigger discomfort in sensitive individualsTraditional European-style breads typically ferment for 12 to 48 hours, allowing microbes to break down gluten and sugars while enhancing mineral absorption, flavor, and digestibility without chemical shortcutsGlyphosate residues are more common in U.S. wheat, where the herbicide is sprayed before harvest, disrupting gut microbes and increasing health risksChoosing or making bread with simple ingredients, like with real sourdough, lets you enjoy loaves that support digestion, provide nourishment, and carry forward traditions of food craftsmanshipContinue readingThese Are The 20 Most Chilling Insights From Yuri Bezmenovby Tyler DurdenAuthored by Doug Ross via Director Blue Substack,Yuri Aleksandrovich Bezmenov (1939–1993), also known as Tomas David Schuman, was a Soviet journalist and KGB operative specializing in propaganda and ideological subversion.Ideological subversion is the process of bending a society’s perception of reality so completely that it destroys itself.In the Cold War era, few voices pierced the veil of secrecy as profoundly as that of Yuri Bezmenov, a KGB defector whose chilling exposés on ideological subversion still resonate today. His warnings, drawn from firsthand experience in Soviet active measures, offer blueprints for destroying free societies—not through bombs, invasions or disease, but through the poisons of manipulated ideas and cultural decay.Continue readingYou Have No Idea How Screwed OpenAI Actually Isby Will LockettIt is almost funny how the world has only just cottoned on to the AI bubble. Every time I read the news, it feels like an arsonist complaining that the building is on fire. Every major banker, venture capitalist, financial pundit and media outlet that made AI hype their entire personality a year ago is now warning that when the AI bubble pops, it will crash our economy. Great… And whose fault is that, exactly? But what I find truly fascinating about this sudden snap back to reality is that it is totally surface-level. For example, none of these people have even tried to look under the hood of OpenAI, which is overwhelmingly responsible for this bubble. That is almost offensive, because they could probably build a mass grave with all the skeletons in their closet. So, let’s dig into OpenAI and put a name to these ghouls so terrifying no one can talk about them.Continue readingWhy Solarpunk is already happening in Africaby Skander GarroumHey there! 👋Skander here.You know that feeling when you’re waiting for the cable guy, and they said ‘between 8am and 6pm, and you waste your entire day, and they never show up?Now imagine that, except the cable guy is ‘electricity,’ the day is ‘50 years,’ and you’re one of 600 million people. At some point, you stop waiting and figure it out yourself.What’s happening across Sub-Saharan Africa right now is the most ambitious infrastructure project in human history, except it’s not being built by governments or utilities or World Bank consortiums. It’s being built by startups selling solar panels to farmers on payment plans. And it’s working.Over 30 million solar products sold in 2024. 400,000 new solar installations every month across Africa. 50% market share captured by companies that didn’t exist 15 years ago. Carbon credits subsidizing the cost. IoT chips in every device. 90%+ repayment rates on loans to people earning $2/day.Continue readingMinarchism Is Statism Liteby Mises WirePer BylundIt may be true that lovers of liberty, originally steeped in society’s preferred form of social democracy, must travel along the spectrum of the state via small (“minimal”) before reaching the conclusion that the state must go. But logically, this is not the case. To cure cancer, it is not necessary to reduce the size of a tumor bit by bit. The cure is to remove it. Similarly, if a rock upsets the flow of a stream, the solution is not to change the size or shape of the rock, to make it more streamlined, but to simply remove it.This logic seems impossible to recognize for those who have already adopted the minarchist position. Usually hiding behind questions like “but how would it work,” minarchists cannot get their heads around the meaning of anarchism. To them, as to any statist, without the state, society would immediately degenerate into a Hobbesian bellum omnium contra omnes (“war of all against all”). The assumption, which cannot be questioned, is that some form of control or supervised order is necessary for people to get along, solve problems, or coordinate their actions.Continue readingStablecoins: The US Dollar’s Unexpected Lifelineby Mises Wire•Rowan ParchiA paradox now sits at the center of global finance: the US government, in trying to stabilize its debt markets, has legitimized the very free-market forces that are eroding its monopoly over money.In mid-2025, the United States enacted the GENIUS Act, the first comprehensive legal framework for stablecoins — privately issued, fully backed digital dollars that move instantly across open blockchain networks rather than through the regulated banking system. The law gave official legitimacy to an already booming industry, but its deeper consequence reaches far beyond cryptocurrency. It has turned stablecoin issuers into a new and dependable class of buyers of US government debt.At a time when foreign central banks are cutting their Treasury holdings and America’s fiscal burden is swelling, this flow of private demand has become a genuine lifeline. And therein lies the paradox: by empowering private markets to create and circulate digital dollars backed by US Treasuries, the government has secured short-term relief for its mounting financial pressures — while allowing an ever larger share of the dollar system to evolve beyond its direct control. To keep control in one place it is losing control in another.Continue readingThe Third Rail: Covid-19 Vaccines and CancerBy Charlotte KuperwasserI’m going to touch on a highly controversial subject, one that has become the third rail among cancer biologists and the broader medical community: the possible link between Covid-19 vaccination and cancer. Because my laboratory’s mission is centered on cancer prevention, I cannot in good conscience ignore the elephant in the room.As my colleague, internationally renowned cancer biologist Dr. Wafik El-Deiry, and I articulated in the September ACIP meeting on Covid vaccines, nearly 50 publications have reported a temporal association between Covid-19 mRNA vaccination and the onset of cancer. Epidemiological studies (one from Italy and one from South Korea) have also described increased cancer incidence among Covid-vaccinated individuals compared to unvaccinated groups (albeit with caveats). These reports are mounting and it’s time we acknowledge that something meaningful may be occurring rather than dismissing them outright; this latter response seems to be the dominant reaction in academia, the media, and by our regulatory agencies.Continue readingHow Exercise Helps Maintain Healthy Vitamin D Levels in the Wintertimeby Dr. Joseph MercolaDuring winter in northern climates, sunlight is too weak to trigger vitamin D production, leaving many people — especially those with excess body fat — at risk for deficiencyA 10-week study found that exercise alone, without supplements or weight loss, helped maintain levels of active vitamin D in overweight or obese adultsPhysical activity altered enzyme activity in fat tissue, boosting the body’s ability to convert stored vitamin D into its usable form and preventing it from being broken downPeople with the most fat tissue saw the biggest improvements in vitamin D activation, showing that exercise is especially important if you’re carrying extra weightExercise trains your body to activate and protect the vitamin D it already has, offering a natural way to help maintain vitamin D levels through winter when sun exposure is limitedContinue readingThe Thinker – A Poem by Berton BraleyBack of the beating hammerBy which the steel is wrought,Back of the workshop’s clamorThe seeker may find the Thought,The Thought that is ever masterOf iron and steam and steel,That rises above disasterAnd tramples it under heel!The drudge may fret and tinkerOr labor with lusty blows,But back of him stands the Thinker,The clear-eyed man who knows;For into each plow or saber,Each piece and part and whole,Must go the Brains of Labor,Which gives the work a soul!Back of the motors hummingBack of the belts that sing,Back of the hammers drumming.Back of the cranes that swing,There is the eye which scans themWatching through stress and strainThere is the Mind which plans them-Back of the brawn, the Brain!Might of the roaring boiler,Force of the engine’s thrust,Strength of the sweating toiler-Greatly in these we trust.But back of them stands the Schemer,The Thinker who drives things through;Back of the Job-the DreamerWho’s making the dream come true!Continue readingWhat happens to your body after you drink a can of CokeBy David CoxAn amusing tale which regularly does the rounds on social media is that every time you consume a can of Coke, you lose 12 minutes of your life.While not entirely accurate – it’s an approximation based on Coke’s sugar content and how sugar consumption affects life expectancy, and doesn’t account for the other genetic and lifestyle factors which influence your lifespan – it has raised awareness of the health concerns relating to Coke. This has been newly highlighted by a number of recent studies.Last month, a paper examining the dietary patterns of more than 123,000 people in the UK over 10 years revealed that consuming a single sugary beverage such as Coke on a daily basis is sufficient to raise your risk of fatty liver disease by 50 per cent.This follows another study, published in January in the prestigious journal Nature Medicine, which linked such sugary drinks to millions of new cases of type 2 diabetes and heart disease around the world. The study authors described how one of the major issues is that people typically consume drinks such as Coke as part of a generally poor dietary pattern, low in the fruit- and fibre-rich foods that could have helped the body deal with the sugar load.Continue readingNASA Killed the First Moon Landing Crewby Research IntegrityI interviewed the widow of the man who was going to be the first man to walk on the moon, Virgil Grissom. He was the most beloved of all the astronauts. I interviewed his widow for four hours.It’s her opinion, not mine, with 100% certainty that he was murdered by the CIA for not cooperating with fraud in the Apollo program. She told me so. She said on January 26, 1967, he came home from work and said this, Han, for some strange reason, the CIA is all over the launch pad today inspecting the equipment.I’ve been here three years, he said. They’ve never been here before. Why did they show up today? The very next day, he’s dead from faulty equipment.Because a few days before this, he held a press conference without permission when he took a bunch of reporters up to the top of the rocket and affixed a lemon the size of a grapefruit to the top of the Apollo rocket, calling it a piece of junk. He was preparing reports, according to his widow, to give to Congress and the Senate that the CIA confiscated from his house the day he died before they even informed his widow that he had died. He knew they were 10 years or more away from going to the moon.Continue readingApple Launches TSA-ready Digital ID for Domestic Travelby Veronika KyrylenkoApple has launched Digital ID for the iPhone and Apple Watch. Drawing information from a user’s passport, the new feature is marketed as an “easy, secure, and private” way to verify identity during domestic travel, with additional use cases promised soon. With iPhones holding about 58 percent of the U.S. smartphone market, the update reaches a user base large enough to alter everyday identification practices.Digital IDs sit at the center of a broader global system built through what officials refer to as “public-private partnerships.” These alliances shape policies, set technical standards, and define the rules of planet-wide “digital governance.”Within that structure, Apple’s new update fits seamlessly. While offered to the public as a convenience feature, it will move society closer to a model in which identity, access, and compliance operate through a single device that people already carry without much thought.Continue readingA Top-10 Prepping List, Multi-Tool Not Included – Part 1, by St. FunogasBy SurvivalBlog ContributorIt was quickly apparent the author was an armchair prepper at best. Many of the non-negotiable items were overlooked, some items would be good for wilderness survival but not post-SHTF survival, and others were common everyday things we already own such as warm socks. Some of the items were unnecessary gadgets.Out of curiosity I did a search for other top-10 lists. The ones I found had the same issues. The worst one was a shameless list of the top-75 items every prepper needs which was nothing more than a collection of Amazon links the author would make money on. I saw more than one of those kinds of lists. Many things on the list clearly had nothing to do with survival of any kind other than the financial survival of the author.Most top-10 lists have water filters or purification tablets listed without ever mentioning how and where to get water in the first place; ferro rods but no mention of how to use one to heat the home; clothes but no way to wash them; and the list goes on. Every list has food as the number one item, lots of beans, rice, and freeze-dried stroganoff, but the rest of the list was clearly for a short-term event such as a hurricane. For short-term events, we should be stocking up on more of whatever it is we normally eat, not beans and rice. Many lists have the same 5-gallon buckets of beans and rice, along with hatchets, lean-to tarps, sleeping bags, and edible-plant books, with no mention of how they’re going to be hauling all those buckets of food to wherever it is they’re going with all that wilderness-survival gear. And why do the lists always have a tarp instead of an actual shelter from the elements, perhaps a tent?Continue readingA Top-10 Prepping List, Multi-Tool Not Included – Part 2, by St. FunogasBy SurvivalBlog ContributorContinued from Part 1.3. WOODSTOVECurrently, only 1.7% of American homes heat with wood with an additional 7.7% use it for their secondary source of heat. That leaves 90% of Americans without a sustainable way to heat their homes if the SHTF. Don’t be one of those 90% if you want to survive your first post-SHTF winter.Based on those numbers, for most preppers heat will be the second most difficult thing (after water) to prepare for on a long-term sustainable basis. And because it’s so difficult, it’ll be the most neglected topic among their prepping priorities. Don’t ignore it! For those who already have a woodstove, prepping will be easier: extra door-gasket cord and chimney pipe, and perhaps a backup woodstove. (Chainsaws will be covered separately.)Continue reading…A Top-10 Prepping List, Multi-Tool Not Included – Part 3, by St. FunogasBy SurvivalBlog ContributorContinued from Part 2.Click for see Part 1Now that we have a warm house, food, water, and a way to defend it all, we need a workable sanitation system. Many preppers won’t have enough water to waste it flushing toilets so an outhouse or composting toilet will be necessary. Regardless of whether you have a flush toilet or something else, find a way to save the urine. Not only is it the best garden fertilizer, it will also speed up the composting process as well. Best of all, fertilizing the pile with urine allows us to add things which we can’t currently compost. This includes all of our waste paper and cardboard, and high-carbon organic matter like straw, sawdust, and cornstalks. The composting bacteria need lots of nitrogen which urine providesUnlike feces, urine is sterile when it is first excreted so there’s no bacteria to worry about when handling it. If we’re just composting our kitchen waste without some of these high-carbon organic materials, at the end of a year the final amount of composted humus will be surprisingly small. Compared to today, our kitchen waste will be even less when we’re needing to get every molecule of nutrition we can from what we eat. No more trimming the tops off carrots, peeling potatoes, trimming the fat off meat, and no more leftovers. When breaking virgin soil to create or enlarge a garden, we’ll need a large compost pile to provide the necessary humus to speed up the soil-improvement process.Continue readingA Top-10 Prepping List, Multi-Tool Not Included – Part 4, by St. FunogasBy SurvivalBlog ContributorContinued from Part 3.See Part 1See Part 2Prepping for electricity was only on one of the top-10 lists I could find, and wasn’t mentioned at all even on most of the lengthier prepping lists. Of all the things we take for granted in our daily lives, electricity has to be one of the most common. If the Schumer hits the fan, there’s no need to step back to the 1800s and punish ourselves by living electricity free when there are some inexpensive, easy-to-use modern-day options. Too many preppers haven’t gotten past that 1800s mentality and modernized their thought, a conclusion I came to after seeing that every single prepping list I saw has candles or oil lamps on their top-10 or top-25 lists. That and the fact that typical top-10 lists fail to mention electricity altogether.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsBitchill – November 18th-25th – Prospera, Roatan, HondurasSan 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.DubFX, Woodnote, and Grant “Prezence” Ellman are going to be touring Europe Sept-December.

PLUS…. Cospaia – A Micro-Country without “Gov’t” from 1440-1826 in the heart of ItalyDear Subscribers,The top stories this week:Presentation by Denis Rancourt – If you thought “The Covid” was a real thing killing people AND/OR you don’t believe the “vaccines” were killing people, then Denis Rancourt’s presentation to World Council on Health will convince you. Covid hospital deaths were the hospital’s protocols, lonliness, masks, ventilators, and isolation…. UNTIL… the “vaccines” started… THEN the deaths REALLY cranked up…The Republic of Cospaia – a micro-country without “government” for almost 400 years… from 1440-1826 right in the heart of Italy. A really interesting story and video.Random thoughts:Alex Jones and Russell Brand stripped down on the Alex Jones show further demonstrating a term I coined after Alex Jones and Ye donned weird masks during an interview and made themselves and their followers/promoters look stupid: The Clownification of the OppositionAfter we released the REAL Political Spectrum for Canada last week, we had a member of the Canadian Parliament join our mailing list.We are releasing the UK versions this week, BUT… I never heard back from my UK folks on the final draft… How did we do? Are all the political parties in the right spot? Who else should be in the voluntaryist spot in the Overton Window visualization? E-mail me at Etienne (at) ArtOfLiberty.orgTop Stories of the WeekDenis Rancourt Presentation: Covid Excess Mortality: What Really Caused It, Really?by Denis Rancourt“Probably one of the most important presentations of the last few years” — Christof Plothe,World Council for HealthABSTRACT: I will present our group’s five years of rigorous analysis of excess mortality during the COVID-19 era, including The Netherlands as an example. High-resolution geotemporal patterns on several continents show that viral disease spread did not cause the observed excess all-cause mortality. The mortality patterns are contrary to aviation and societal transmission; instead, they synchronize with imposed local measures and institutional practices. Vaccine rollouts often closely associate with large mortality peaks, but we attribute this primarily to concomitant assaults and severe disruptions of care rather than the known direct toxicity of the injections. The COVID-19 pandemic event echoes historical pandemics and wars over millennia, which followed long periods of increasing economic predation causing large-scale socially heterogeneous extreme poverty and chronic health deficiencies, accompanied by shrill propaganda and fear. At the highest level, a solution would be to dismantle geo-economic and investor predation and the elite systemic corruption that drives it. This work supports evidence-based reform.Continue readingThe Republic of Cospaia: An Anarchist (Voluntaryist) Renaissance Cityby Power & Market, Ellie McFarland via Mises Institute with Video by Ceadda of MerciaEtienne Note: This Article is the 1st in a Series Focused on Civilizations without “Government” that is being syndicated as companion media for my upcoming book: Voluntaryism – How the Only “ISM” Fair for Everyone Leads to Harmony, Prosperity, and Good Karma for All. I plan to cover other examples including: Medieval Brehon Ireland, Medieval Iceland, Cospaia (Italy-1440-1826), and modern examples such as Cheran, Mexico and Prospera (Honduras).The Republic of Cospaia existed between 1440 and 1826. That’s nearly four hundred years. For comparison, the Republic of Cospaia existed for fifty-two years longer than Europe has known about the Americas. It is the longest-lived, most modern, most capitalist, and most Western anarchist society to ever exist. “Western” is important because often it is not enough to site anarchic native civilizations of the Americas and Oceania. Some argue that their anarchism was a result of their ill-advanced technology or their relative isolation. This bypasses all of that. Cospaia was as developed as any other mid-rural hamlet at the time of its conception. It continued to advance at a comparable rate to surrounding areas until its death in the early 1800s.

Many of the large non-profits tend to sweep people up in emotional appeals or shiny TV commercials, but before you open your wallet, I want to make sure you know who you’re supporting and where that money ends up.Click on the image below to watch. Content starts about the 5:00 mark.I’ve talked about plenty of unnatural disasters—Lahaina, Pacific Palisades, Jamaica, North Carolina—tragedies that hit ordinary people without warning. In moments like these, good-hearted people want to help. There are those in need, those willing to give, and then there are the massive organizations that swoop in, grab the headlines, and often, most of the donations too.Continue readingBiometric Consent is the Digital IDby Greg ReesePrior to the 2020 Lockdowns, Buy-Now-Pay-Later services were obscured from most of the market. Affirm was founded in 2012 by PayPal co-founder, Max Levchin, but was only used on high purchases by a small handful of merchants.After the 2020 Lockdowns, as people’s money became weaker, sudden partnerships with Apple Pay and Amazon, a Super Bowl ad and an IPO brought Affirm and the entire Buy-Now-Pay-Later scheme to a public already slipping into debt. The first year saw an over four-hundred-percent increase in people using Buy-Now-Pay-Later services to buy essentials including groceries, gas, and paying their utilities.Starting in 2024, Affirm has been gradually rolling out its new requirement for biometric identification.Once again, this is the old fashioned Problem-Reaction-Solution scheme being deployed. Under the guises of safety and fraud prevention, the Buy-Now-Pay-Later industry will soon require biometric ID. And Visa is following close behind. Visa launched their Payment Passkey in 2024, which allows you to voluntarily make purchases with your phone’s built-in biometrics. Visa aims to be “biometric-first” by 2026. The International banking cartel has made it clear that this is where we are headed. It’s the only way the Crypto-AI control grid can function.Continue 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.

The nonprofit, founded in 1971 by left-leaning political activist Ralph Nader, focuses on corporate money and influence in government. The donors have sprawling interests that touch nearly every aspect of American life, including tariffs, technology, taxation, online privacy and manufacturing.Continue readingUPDATE: Medicare freeze beneficiary secretly donates $2.5 million to Trump ballroomEtienne Note: This article 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.

Six days later, Trump blasted a pending Biden administration rule that would have barred Medicare from covering Extremity Care’s products.The Biden rule was initially scheduled to take effect in February 2025, but was delayed by the Trump administration until April 13 as part of a blanket regulatory freeze. On April 11, 40 days after Trump’s post, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced the rule would be delayed until at least January 1, 2026, allowing Extremity Care to continue charging Medicare for its products.Continue readingInmates will pay up to 83% more for phone calls, thanks to new FCC ruleEtienne Note: This article 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. You can view the other articles or subscribe on Telegram: https://t.me/Government_Scamsby Rebecca Crosby and Noel SimsLast week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to allow prison telecommunication companies to charge incarcerated people up to 83% more for phone calls. This permanent change comes after a July FCC decision to temporarily raise the maximum rate that telecom companies can charge inmates per minute.In 2024, the FCC established a cap of $0.06 or $0.07 per minute for inmate phone calls, depending on the size of the prison or jail. This followed the passage of the Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act of 2022, which clarified the FCC’s authority to regulate prison communication costs. The act was named for a grandmother who advocated for price caps after spending more than $100 per month to call her incarcerated grandson and sometimes skipped medication payments to afford the bill.Continue readingThe REAL Political Spectrum… Around the WorldI am adding a new recurring feature to Five Meme Friday: The REAL Political Spectrum… Around the World!

The vertical design and smart tracking functions of the towers offer big improvements over flat panel arrays.Currently, most solar farms consist of flat panels laid out across the ground or on rooftops. But in much the same way that this is an inefficient way to house people, it’s also not a great way to harvest the Sun’s energy. Tall skyscrapers can hold significantly more people on a small footprint, so why not apply that thinking to solar panels as well?That’s the kind of thinking that has been behind the success of Janta Power, a developer of unique three-dimensional solar tower systems. And the new injection of cash shows that there are investors who think that this company is on to something.Continue readingHi-Tech Holocaust: How Microsoft Aids The Gaza Genocideby Alan MacleodIsrael’s genocide is being powered by Microsoft. From creating a massive digital dragnet, aiding in the production of A.I.-generated kill lists, hiring hundreds of Israeli spies to run its internal affairs, and suppressing figures opposing the slaughter, the Seattle-based tech corporation has played a key role in the violence.MintPress has detailed the deep collaboration between the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Amazon, Google, TikTok, Apple, Palantir, and Oracle, but Microsoft’s relationship with the government and armed forces of Israel is potentially the closest, leading then-CEO Steve Ballmer to state that “Microsoft is as much an Israeli company as an American company.” MintPress explores the decades-long partnership between Microsoft and Israel, and the employees trying to break that marriage from the inside.Continue readingNew McCullough autism paper: Vaccines are the single largest contributor to the risk of autismby Steve KirschNow available on Zenodo McCullough Foundation Report: Determinants of Autism Spectrum DisorderConclusion: Combination and early-timed routine childhood vaccination constitutes the most significant modifiable risk factor for ASD, supported by convergent mechanistic, clinical, and epidemiologic findings, and characterized by intensified use, the clustering of multiple doses during critical neurodevelopmental windows, and the lack of research on the cumulative safety of the full pediatric schedule.In short, it’s the vaccines.The report is essentially a large‑scale literature syntheses, not new population data collections.

These individuals are overwhelmingly concentrated in politically sensitive departments, such as trust and safety, security, and content moderation, meaning that these ex-spies and intelligence officials are helping to influence what billions of people around the world see, read and hear (and deciding who is promoted and who is suppressed).Continue readingIs Skynet Close? Anduril’s Pilotless YFQ-44 Fury “Fighter” Drone Has Flownby Tyler DurdenBy Joseph Trevithick of The War ZoneAnduril’s YFQ-44A ‘fighter drone’ prototype has now made its maiden flight. The YFQ-44A is one of two designs currently being developed under the first phase, or Increment 1, of the U.S. Air Force’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program. The other is General Atomics’ YFQ-42A, which took to the skies for the first time earlier this year.A TWZ reader has shared pictures with us of the YFQ-44A in flight, which were taken earlier today at Southern California Logistics Airport in Victorville, California. The drone was also seen accompanied by two L-29 Delfin trainer jets acting as chase planes. We have reached out to Anduril for more information.Additional imagery of the YFQ-44A in flight is now beginning to circulate online.Last year, the Air Force announced that it trimmed back the field of prospective Increment 1 CCA designs to the proposals from Anduril and General Atomics. However, Fury’s story traces back to the late 2010s and an aggressor drone concept from a company called Blue Force Technologies, which Anduril acquired in 2023, as you can read about in extensive detail in this past War Zone feature.Continue readingEx-Mossad Head: We’ve ‘Boobytrapped And Manipulated’ Equipment in ‘All Countries You Can Imagine’by fluoridealert26% higher risk of fragility fractures in postmenopausal women• Risks found even at exposure levels from artificial fluoridationA new systematic review identified 27 studies of fluoride and bone fractures and found significantly increased risk of fractures in pooled analyses, especially in postmenopausal women [Mazzoli et al 2025]. This demographic has the highest risk of hip fractures, which are a major cause of permanent disability and death in older women. Following a hip fracture, 30% are dead within a year and 50% will never be able to walk without assistance.This review’s finding is consistent with a high-quality study in Sweden which is considered the most rigorous study of fluoride and bone fracture to date [Helte et al 2021] but was not included in the pooled analyses. Furthermore, this new paper included dose-response meta-analyses that found increases in fracture rates starting at water fluoride concentrations of about 0.5 milligrams per liter (mg/L), consistent with the Swedish study which found increased fracture risks in an area where the natural water fluoride concentration was 1.0 mg/L or lower. These exposures are in the same range as people experience who drink artificially fluoridated water at 0.7 mg/L. The paper summarized its key finding:Continue readingThis roof paint blocks 97% of sunlight and pulls water from the airBy Bronwyn ThompsonA roof paint that can cool your home and pull fresh water straight out of the air? It’s within reach, as scientists scale up production of a new kind of paint-like coating that shields roofing from the sun’s rays and harvests dew from its surface.Researchers at the University of Sydney and commercial start-up Dewpoint Innovations have created a nano-engineered polymer coating that not only reflects up to 97% of the sun’s rays, but also passively collects water. In tests, it was able to keep indoors up to 6 °C (~11 °F) cooler than the air outside.That temperature differential results in water vapor condensing on the surface – like the fogging on a cold mirror – producing a steady trickle of droplets.In trials on the roof of the Sydney Nanoscience Hub, the coating captured dew more than 30% of the year, generating as much as 390 mL of water per square meter (roughly 13 fluid ounces per 10.8 square feet) daily. This might not sound like a lot, but a 12-sq-m (about 129-sq-ft) section of treated roof could produce around 4.7 L (around 1.25 US gallons) of water per day under optimal conditions.Continue readingNew Study Finds Cognitive Impairment Is Skyrocketing Across AmericaBy Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA major new Neurology study analyzing more than 4.5 million U.S. adults has uncovered a striking trend: self-reported cognitive disability—difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions—has surged by 40% over the past decade.According to CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data, prevalence rose from 5.3% in 2013 to 7.4% in 2023, marking the sharpest increase ever recorded.Even just since 2019, rates climbed from roughly 6.4% to 7.4% nationwide—a 16% jump in only four years. The most dramatic rise occurred among younger adults aged 18–39, where rates nearly doubled, from 5.1% to 9.7%. This climb began around 2016 and continued steadily through 2023, with no signs of stopping.The implications stretch far beyond neurology clinics. The collapse in sustained attention, logical reasoning, and decision making abilities now pervades public discourse, workplaces, and relationships.Continue readingFluoride Linked to Bone Fractures in Pooled Analysis of 27 Studiesby fluoridealert26% higher risk of fragility fractures in postmenopausal women• Risks found even at exposure levels from artificial fluoridationA new systematic review identified 27 studies of fluoride and bone fractures and found significantly increased risk of fractures in pooled analyses, especially in postmenopausal women [Mazzoli et al 2025].

She said only 29 states cooperated, primarily red and some blue states.She said her team and DOGE found some of the most shocking fraud ever, resulting in the purging of 700,000 ineligible recipients since the president’s inauguration, and arrested 118 individuals.Some of the key findings she unveiled in the interview:SNAP spending surged nearly 40% under Biden, linked to $100 billion in expenditures.Continue readingIt’S Never Different This TimeBy Assaf Gilead/Globes/TnsAmazon and Google, which won the Israeli government’s Nimbus cloud computing deal, agreed to demands to set up a special reporting mechanism about data handed to foreign governments, as part of the contract, according to leaked documents seen by the Guardian, as part of a joint investigation with left-leaning Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and Hebrew-language outlet Local Call.Through a so-called coded system called the “winking mechanism,” every request to hand over data to a foreign government is accompanied by a report made in a way that seems to come straight out of a spy thriller.

Ascending to Schwab’s role, André Hoffmann – a Swiss billionaire and great-grandson of Fritz Hoffmann-La Roche, who founded the drug company Roche – and Larry Fink were selected as the interim Co-Chairs of the WEF.1 The WEF, as we know, is the controversial group that tells us that we, among many other controversial things, will “own nothing and be happy” by 2030.The two indicated in August that their ascendance signified a “pivotal transition” in the WEF’s agenda, writing:“We are honored to take on this leadership role on an interim basis at a pivotal time for the World Economic Forum.

This video actually shows us what the secret of the Trump family is related to their expressive health!!! Video HERE.None of us is really looking forward to the next great depression, even while we’re all expecting it to come. The reality is that rough financial times are worrisome for everyone, including the most prepared preppers amongst us. While you and I might be better off than our neighbors are, there’s still the possibility of losing our jobs, followed by our cars and then our homes.Since one of the marks of depression is high unemployment, there’s no guarantee that any of us will manage to keep our jobs or even find another job if we lose ours. While 75% of people managed to keep their jobs back in the Great Depression of the last century, it is the 25% of them who lost their jobs that we all focus on.Continue readingBREAKING: Peer-Reviewed Study Finds COVID-19 “Vaccines” Linked to 63 Serious Brain and Spinal Cord Adverse EventsBy Nicolas Hulscher, MPHThe study titled “COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination: Implications for the Central Nervous System,” authored by Kirstin Cosgrove, BM, CCRA; James A. Thorp, MD; Claire Rogers, MSPAS, PA-C; Steven Hatfill, MD; Nicolas Hulscher, MPH; and Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, was just published after successful peer-review in the International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences.Using VAERS data from January 1990 through November 2024, we compared adverse events reported after COVID-19 vaccination to those after influenza vaccination and all other vaccines combined. We focused specifically on the central nervous system (CNS) — the brain and spinal cord, which control everything from memory and thought to movement and vital body functions. In total, we identified 63 serious safety signals involving the brain and nervous system, ranging from meningitis and encephalitis to brain abscesses, herpesvirus reactivations, demyelinating syndromes, and even prion diseases — each breaching CDC/FDA thresholds that are supposed to trigger immediate safety investigations.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsBitchill – November 18th-25th – Prospera, Roatan, HondurasSan 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, ALDubFX, Woodnote, and Grant “Prezence” Ellman are going to be touring Europe Sept-December.
