5 Meme FRIDAY

PLUS…. 80 Canadian MDs Vaxxed & Dead…. Dear Subscribers,I am slamming and jamming on our upcoming book: Voluntaryism – How the Only “ISM” Fair for Everyone Leads to Harmony, Prosperity, and Good Karma for All! The goal is create the most comprehensive, easiest-to-read guide to how the free market can deliver everything the organized crime monopoly “government” provides but better, faster and cheaper without the waste, fraud, abuse and extortion. After all… If people understood they could get everything they want from the free market AND be wealthier with more harmony, why wouldn’t they give up “The Most Dangerous Superstition?”This week I break down how the free market would deal with Physical Protection, Policing & Crime in the absence of organized crime “government.” There are a few other sample chapters in the archive including: Without “Government” What Would We Do About Healthcare? AND Assassination Markets to Private Military Defense – Protecting the Country in a Future without “Government”We are raising the final $17,835 $17,634 needed to complete and publish the project.

Right now this market is dominated by a monopoly provider. In the absence of a monopoly provider, there’s no reason to think that private companies wouldn’t be able to provide the same service, at lower prices, with more efficiency and without the abuses of the monopoly police.Keep Reading…Videos of the WeekBritish Journalist Douglas Murray EXPOSED as Israeli Asset by LowkeyEtienne Note: The #1 weapon is control of perception. Can the organized crime system control the information you receive… through the algorithmic censorship of the DARPA internet or simply buying off the “journalists” you see on the BBC….The truth that Douglas Murray doesn’t want you to know is that he is directly an Israeli asset.Video Plays: Well, I’m joined now by Douglas Murray who’s on the Gaza border.Douglas, let me ask you first of all, why have you felt the need to go there? Well, I’ve covered every Israeli conflict since the 2006 Lebanon war.This is not journalism.We are talking about people who claim to be independent critical thinkers offering their services as assets of a foreign power.So much so that he received an award from the Israeli president for services in propaganda to Israel during the genocide in Gaza.Continue readingGreg Carlwood Interviews Hakeem Anwar, Founder of #TakeBackOurTech and Above.Phone on How to Stop Digital ID}About Today’s Guest on the Higher Side Chats: Hakeem Anwar is a technologist and educator who dropped his career in big tech to work on meaningful social movements.

Almost two-and-a-half decades on, the media appears to have lost all interest in that fateful, world-changing day. 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.

Critics contend that the J6 riots were provoked to prevent Republicans in Congress from objecting to the certification.The FBI said an unknown suspect placed pipe bombs under a park bench at the DNC and the Capitol Hill Club near the Republican National Committee building around 8 pm the night before the riot. 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.

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?

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.

Their libertarian ideology has spread quietly but effectively through the Legislature, shaping decisions on taxes, education, and public services.“What began as a fringe movement has become a political machine…“While there is no official count of legislators aligned with the Free State Project or libertarian ideology, credible reporting suggests that well over half of the 221 House Republicans regularly vote with the Free State–aligned bloc…“For the 2025–2026 legislative session, this bloc has a stranglehold on the House, chairing most committees, controlling assignments, and shaping the state’s budget and policy priorities — particularly around taxes, education, and public services…“At the top of this power structure stands House Majority Leader Jason Osborne, one of the most dominant leaders in recent memory… His authority, built through party discipline and the Free State network, ensures that a small, ideologically rigid minority can dictate the direction of our entire state. This bloc has had a sweeping impact on legislation in both the House and Senate.“They drove the dramatic expansion of the school [choice] program… They have sought to repeal licensing and regulations for daycare, healthcare, and housing.”Etienne Note: The New Hampshire Liberty Alliance ranks the legislators in NH on whether or not they vote pro-liberty or anti-liberty.

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. Unless one argues that all of the Mediterranean was primitive well into the nineteenth century, the argument of ill advancement holds no water.Continue Reading…Videos of the WeekFood, Not Lack of Exercise, Fuels Obesityby Dr. Joseph MercolaObesity is not caused by lack of exercise, as people in wealthier nations burn more calories daily yet still gain more fatEating ultraprocessed foods is strongly linked to higher body fat because they disrupt hunger signals and make calories easier to storeBody fat percentage, not BMI, is the most accurate way to measure obesity and related health risksModern ultraprocessed diets and lower immune demands in industrialized countries lower resting energy needs, making fat storage more likelyYou can restore your metabolism by removing vegetable oils, eating the right carbs for your gut health, reducing estrogen and EMF exposure, and avoiding ultraprocessed foodsObesity has become one of the leading drivers of disease worldwide, claiming more than 4 million lives each year.1 In the U.S. alone, rates have climbed steadily over the past century, transforming a condition once rare into one of the most pressing public health threats.

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. As the organization moves into a new chapter, we look ahead with clarity, purpose, and confidence in the Forum’s enduring mission.Continue readingYouTube: A Digital Form of Occupation Designed to Silence Palestinian Voicesby Matt SledgeLocal cops have gotten tens of millions of dollars’ worth of discounted military gear under a secretive federal program that is poised to grow under recent executive action from Donald Trump, according to a new report.Armored vehicles, video surveillance programs, and thermal imagers are all examples of the ware purchased by local police under a lesser-known cousin to another controversial program that gifts them the gear outright.The floodgates could be opened now that President Donald Trump has revoked an executive order issued by his predecessor, Joe Biden, meant to tamp down on the “warrior cop” trend.When paired with the increasing number of local agencies aiding mass deportation, the 1122 program — so named after a section of federal defense law — presents a danger to people facing off against militarized cops, according to Women for Weapons Trade Transparency.Continue readingAn Obscure Military Program Helps Local Cops Buy Armored Cars and Spyware.

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.

PLUS…. Landmark Report Finds Vaccination Is the Dominant Risk Factor for Autism Spectrum DisorderDear Subscribers,I wrote an article a couple of weeks ago entitled The Fake Left-Right Paradigm – What is the REAL Political Spectrum the Monopoly Media is Hiding? The 1st visualization in the article has become the most viral meme that we have ever created. The former champion was “Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss” that was also in the article. The REAL US Political Spectrum meme below ripped through Facebook, shared dozens of times that we could count. Some folks were downloading it and reuploading it so their version would be shared so we don’t know how far it went but we watched it pop up on meme syndicator websites and Substacks as well.In the article I tell the story about Marshall Fritz, who founded the Advocates for Self-Government, and popularized the Nolan Chart aKa The World’s Smallest Political Quiz, which has become the most successful libertarian educational tool of all time! Tens of millions of people have taken the Quiz and discovered libertarianism, the REAL political landscape, and the scam of the fake Left-Right political spectrum.I think our version is similarly important for many of the exact same reasons:It exposes the fraudulent nature of the fake Left-Right political paradigmIt helps normies better understand the REAL political spectrumCaveat: I think the Nolan chart/Quiz does a better job of defining the full political landscape BUT I think this chart (and the companion visualization below) does a SUPERB job at changing the way folks conditioned to the left-right spectrum will view & understand the world through that left-right lensIt promotes libertarianism & voluntaryism as alternativesIt helps people understand where libertarianism and voluntaryism sit on the left-right spectrum in the same favorable way as the Nolan Chart / QuizThe Companion Visualization Reframes Where the Republicans and Democrats REALLY FitBut wait… It gets better… It turns out… and I know you are going to find this hard to believe… that the other countries of the world are running the exact same scam… So the visualization has the opportunity to go viral in other countries for the exact same reason with the exact same results…So… We began creating V 2.0 with some improvements… AND for other countriesV 2.0 now includes the URL for a landing page on our website (ArtOfLiberty.org/REAL-Scale) where we are both collecting and promoting versions for the rest of the world.The landing page also has the article that explains:The REAL political spectrum,The history and overview of the Nolan Chart/World’s Smallest Political Quiz, Advocates for Self-GovernmentDirects folks to Advocates for Self-Government’s website where they can take the quiz for themselvesHere is the Australian version… When I ran this by Ron Manners, who runs the Mannkal Economic Education Foundation (The Australian Foundation for Economic Education) not only did he confirm we nailed it… But he Cc: in three heavy hitters in the Australian think tank and libertarian movement confirming to me that this is capable of circulating AND IS CIRCULATING at the highest intellectual levels around the world)Today we are launching Canada…. We have a variety of other countries in the works… and I am hoping that the folks in our audience can help us with the other countries we don’t have yet. Please email me at Etienne (at) ArtOfLiberty.org if you would like to help us create the two visualizations for your country!If you would like to help sponsor this endeavor, you can do so at ArtOfLiberty.org/SponsorWe have the article and all the existing countries at ArtOfLiberty.org/REAL-Scale which is the landing page for the project and the URL that every version of the visualizations will carry…I think Marshall Fritz would be pleased…Abigail Spanberger, is an “Ex” CIA Agent that is one of the DOZENS of intelligence agency and military alumni that appear to be getting funded and installed into political positions. We break that down in our expose: CIA Democrats (and Republicans!) – Are You Getting Your Politicians from the CIA? – I think the creator of this meme missed the point… She was ACTING!Have you seen our breakdown of the REAL Political Spectrum? ArtOfLiberty.org/REAL-ScaleTop Stories of the WeekWhy Did the US REALLY Give Argentina $20 BILLION Dollars? – Jimmy Dore, Etienne & Popular Information Break Down the ScamTreasury Secretary Scott Bessent Bails Out His Friend/Ex-Colleague & Soros Partner Rob Citrone Who Bought Up Argentina Bonds Before Bessent’s Rescue was AnnouncedEtienne 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_ScamsAt the Art of Liberty Foundation, our working thesis is not only that “government” is illegitimate and best thought of as a technique for robbing and controlling populations, BUT that the US “government” (and most other governments) are being run as criminal enterprises.It is now emerging that the two $20 Billion dollar rescue packages (IMF & US Treasury) that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent put together for Argentina directly benefits Bessent’s personal friend and ex-colleague at George Soros-connected hedge fund Discovery Capital. Specifics Below.The scam of banksters betting on and manipulating sovereign bonds is as old as the “founding” of the US Federal Government. I broke down a similar scam from the “founding” in my article The Shady History of the Con-stitution, where financial interests bought up revolutionary war debt issued by the Continental Congress for pennies on the dollar. Since the original “government” under the Articles of Confederation had no ability to “lay and collect taxes,” the promises had become worthless.Those same financial interests then took over the 1787 Philadelphia convention and rammed through an unauthorized replacement for the Articles of Confederation that created a “government” that could tax (steal), and then tricked the population into thinking it was legitimate through basically the same “control of perception” media system that we are under. I.E. controlling the newspapers of the day to pretend that a couple of dozen slave owners on a continent of three million people writing down on a fancy piece of paper that only they get to make up rules for everyone and steal the wealth of others is legitimate.Continue reading…Videos of the WeekInside Hebron: Living Under Israel’s “Smart City” SurveillanceMint Press News’ Mnar Adley Went to Palestine’s Most Surveilled City to Expose Israel’s Wolfpack AI – What She Found Broke Herby MintPress NewsEtienne Note: We have also covered ‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza, where the Israeli army has marked tens of thousands of Gazans as suspects for assassination, using an AI targeting system with little human oversight and a permissive policy for casualties.Mint Press News just published a powerful new documentary that exposes how Israel is using Hebron—the West Bank’s largest Palestinian city—as a testing ground for its “smart city” surveillance regime.Dubbed the “Wolfpack” system, this network of facial recognition cameras, AI-powered weapons, and militarized checkpoints subjects Palestinians to what Amnesty International calls “automated apartheid.”Entire neighborhoods are shuttered, streets renamed, and families forced to navigate sniper-equipped checkpoints just to reach their own homes.This is not speculative dystopia. It’s daily life in Hebron, and a preview of technologies being refined for export and deployment across the globe.Continue reading…The United States Military Is A CultEtienne Note: I am revisiting some of the articles in our uncensorable flashdrive O’ Freedom: The Liberator for a podcast episode I am shooting this week for The Higherside Chats with Greg Carlwood which we will, eventually, syndicate on this Substack. I am going to do a deep dive on the cult-indoctrination techniques used on the military and police for that podcast. I break down the basics in my new book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many, where I list a variety of techniques. I am going to dive deeper with Greg so I am syndicating some articles I had archived on The Liberator to prepare.

Two of the most economically moronic measures can be found in California and Illinois where leaders could be pushing high-tax residents out of their respective states.In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom is seeking a billionaire tax that would target roughly 180 individuals who are expected to remain in the state, like some voluntary canned hunt. In Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson is facing the same exodus of businesses as California. His solution? A head tax on the very large corporations is needed for the city to survive. Even the far-left governor, J.B. Pritzker, is opposing the move as economically suicidal. However, groups like the teachers’ unions are pushing for this and other new taxes to support, among other things, a bloated pension plan for its members.Continue readingDown The ‘Racist’ Rabbit Hole – Why Are So Many Arrested Minorities Booked As ‘White’?by Tyler Durden2025 has been a great year for noticing things that would have gotten one censored, canceled, or debanked just a few short years ago.In today’s episode, former DOE nuclear engineer Matt Von Swol notices something that’s been floating around for years; the insane number of minorities (mexicans and blacks) who are booked as “WHITE” when they get arrested – something which obviously manipulates ‘inconvenient’ crime stats – something that TPUSA’s Andrew Kolvet noted have been “widely corrupted to serve a racist agenda.’“I searched through thousands of arrests in my county and every single Hispanic individual who has been arrested is labelled as “WHITE”“ Van Swol posted on X.We cannot trust crime stats in America.

It inflicts horrific injuries, contaminates land and water, and renders entire regions uninhabitable for generations. In South Lebanon, its repeated use has scorched fields, homes, and bodies — turning landscapes into lingering sites of violence and toxicity.”Continue readingStudy Links Surge in Children’s Memory Problems to Wireless Radiation Exposureby Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.This article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.Children and teens in Sweden and Norway are experiencing an “alarming” rise in memory problems, which the authors of a new peer-reviewed study attributed to increased exposure to wireless radiation.“The steep increase in memory issues cannot be explained by changes in diagnostic criteria or reporting to the registries alone,” Lennart Hardell, M.D., Ph.D., one of the study’s authors, said in a press release. He added:“We urge our findings on increasing numbers of children having impaired memory to be taken seriously by public health authorities and consider children’s increasing exposure to wireless radiation as a possible cause.“Thus, we ask for measures aimed at decreasing exposure to RF radiation [radiofrequency radiation] to protect the brain and general health of children.”Continue readingThese Are Forecast To Be America’s Fastest-Growing States Over The Next 25 Yearsby Tyler DurdenOver the next 25 years, Texas is projected to gain 8.6 million residents, the highest absolute increase across states.Like Texas, Florida and California are projected to lead nationally in population gains, adding 5.2 million and 3.1 million people, respectively. In comparison, 18 states are projected to shrink.This graphic, via Visual Capitalist’s Dorothy Neufeld, shows America’s fastest-growing states by 2050, based on forecasts from the University of Virginia.Between now and 2050, the U.S. is projected to grow 9%, adding nearly 32 million people to its population.However, growth across states is forecast to vary widely. Utah, for instance, is set to grow nearly four times faster than the national average, at 35%. Meanwhile, West Virginia’s population is set to contract 15%.Continue readingHow NBA figures and mafia families allegedly stole millions in rigged poker games: “Very sophisticated cheating technologies”By kerry BreenX-ray tables. Hidden cameras. Pre-marked cards. Even special contact lenses. Prosecutors say the suspects charged Thursday in a high-profile illegal gambling bust made use of sophisticated technology to cheat victims out of millions.In a series of arrests Thursday morning, law enforcement officers across the country took several big names in NBA basketball and dozens of alleged criminal figures into custody on illegal betting charges. One case focuses on sports betting while another involves allegations of elaborately rigged high-stakes poker games.FBI officials said at a news conference that the poker ring was operated by organized crime figures from “La Cosa Nostra,” referring to known mafia families. The 31 defendants include alleged members of the Bonnano, Gambino, Luchesse and Genovese crime families, as well as Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups and former player Damon Jones. Miami Heat star Terry Rozier is charged only in the sports betting case.Continue readingVenezuela Says CIA-Linked Mercenaries Caught During ‘False-Flag Attack’by Brett WilkinsThe government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said Sunday that his country’s security forces captured a group of mercenaries aligned with the US Central Intelligence Agency, less than two weeks after President Donald Trump confirmed his authorization of covert CIA action against the South American nation.Venezuela “reports that it has captured a mercenary group with direct information from the US intelligence agency, CIA, being able to determine that a false-flag attack is underway from waters bordering Trinidad and Tobago, or from Trinidad or Venezuelan territory itself,” the Venezuelan government said in a statement.“This planned action perfectly evokes the provocation of the Battleship Maine and the Gulf of Tonkin, which gave rise to the war against Spain to seize Cuba in 1898 and allowed the US Congress to authorize involvement in an eternal war against Vietnam in 1964, from which they emerged defeated by the Vietnamese people after facing incalculable destruction and regrettable human loss,” the statement continues.Continue readingBREAKING — Landmark Report Finds Vaccination Is the Dominant Risk Factor for Autism Spectrum Disorderby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHFor decades, scientists have debated what drives the relentless rise in autism. Some have claimed it’s due to “increased screening” while others declare it’s anything but vaccines. Thousands of studies have explored genetic, environmental, and perinatal factors—but very few have ever examined vaccine and non-vaccine determinants together within a unified analytical framework.Now, the landmark McCullough Foundation Report titled, Determinants of Autism Spectrum Disorder, provides the most comprehensive synthesis on the possible causes of autism to-date. Thanks to the tireless work of Nicolas Hulscher, MPH, John S. Leake, MA, Simon Troupe, MPH, Claire Rogers, MSPAS, PA-C, Kirstin Cosgrove, BM, CCRA, M.

My AFSC was 3C0X1 (Communications computer systems operator). My highest rank was E-5 (Staff Sergeant), and I received an honorable discharge. I separated, because I realized 9 things about the military that would have kept me from joining in the first place if I had known them in 1999. None of these reasons are derogatory towards the troops. All of these reasons have to do with how the military treats the troops unethically. The purpose of this essay isn’t to defame servicemen and women. The purpose is to raise awareness of how the military system treats people and forewarn new recruits that they’re signing up to be treated unethically in at least 9 ways.Continue readingAffordable Heathcare Act Healthcare PLans Jump 26% A Yearby Nathaniel WeixelThe rates, pricing and other data for 2026 Affordable Care Act (ACA) insurance plans were publicly posted on the federal Healthcare.gov marketplace on Wednesday, just three days ahead of the start of open enrollment.The health research nonprofit KFF said the average increase in premiums for ACA plans will be 26 percent next year, based on data for “benchmark” silver plans, which are the midtier plans in each region that most people purchase and are used to set the subsidy amounts.But KFF found the amount that people pay for coverage is set to rise 114 percent on average because Congress has not extended the enhanced tax credits that help people afford insurance plans. Democrats have leaned heavily on expanding the subsidies as part of their challenge to the GOP-led continuing resolution that would reopen the government after funding lapsed nearly a month ago.Continue readingRevealed: Pentagon orders states’ national guards to form ‘quick reaction forces’ for ‘crowd control’by theguardian.comA top US military official has ordered the national guards of all 50 US states, the District of Columbia and US territories to form “quick reaction forces” trained in “riot control”, including use of batons, body shields, Tasers and pepper spray, according to an internal Pentagon directive reviewed by the Guardian.The memo, signed on 8 October by Maj Gen Ronald Burkett, the director of operations for the Pentagon’s national guard bureau, sets thresholds for the size of the quick reaction force to be trained in each state, with most states required to train 500 national guard members, for a total of 23,500 troops nationwide.As authority, Burkett cited Donald Trump’s August executive order that deployed the guard to fight crime in Washington DC. The same order required the secretary of defense to create “a standing National Guard quick reaction force … available for rapid nationwide deployment” in “quelling civil disturbances”.Continue readingTop Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military BasesBy Michael Scherer, Missy Ryan, and Ashley ParkerThe former White House adviser Katie Miller—mother of three young children, and wife of the presidential right-hand man Stephen—walked out of her front door one Thursday morning last month and was confronted by a woman she did not know. When she told this story on Fox News, she described the encounter as a protest that crossed a line. The stranger had told Miller: “I’m watching you,” she said. This was the day after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. It also wasn’t anything new.For weeks before Kirk’s death, activists had been protesting the Millers’ presence in north Arlington, Virginia. Someone had put up wanted posters in their neighborhood with their home address, denouncing Stephen as a Nazi who had committed “crimes against humanity.” A group called Arlington Neighbors United for Humanity warned in an Instagram post: “Your efforts to dismantle our democracy and destroy our social safety net will not be tolerated here.” The local protest became a backdrop to the Trump administration’s response to Kirk’s killing. When Miller, the architect of that response who is known for his inflammatory political rhetoric, announced a legal crackdown on liberal groups, he singled out the tactics that had victimized his family—what he called “organized campaigns of dehumanization, vilification, posting peoples’ addresses.”Continue readingTravel chaos as America’s eighth busiest airport HALTS FLIGHTS over government shutdown staffing crisisEtienne Note: The organized crime “government” is making the “shutdown” hurt average people when it shouldn’t have to. I broke down in my presentation to Liberty on the Rocks – Sedona – The Voluntaryism Conference how Canada, the 2nd largest air traffic control system in the world had privatized their air traffic control system over a decade ago and planes aren’t dropping out of the sky in Canada. There is simply no reason why air traffic control should be run by the organized crime “government.”by Ross Ibbetson, Associate Editor And Elena Salvoni, Senior Foreign News ReporterThe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been forced to issue a ground stop at Newark airport over a staffing shortage caused by the government shutdown.The advisory issued at 3.32pm ET says that the ground delay program – which halts flights at their origin – will be in effect until at least 10.59pm.Continue readingICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street Unconstitutionally To Verify Citizenship.by Ashley BelangerSocial media videos have confirmed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers patrolling US streets are actively using facial recognition technology to verify citizenship, 404 Media reported.In one video posted on a Chicago-based Instagram account, a self-described teenager and US citizen tells officers that he has no government ID. After he offers to show his student ID instead, the officer turns to another and asks, “can you do facial?” As the other officer pulls up an app to scan the teen’s face, the first officer tells the teenager to “relax” while alleging that “a lot of parents” tell their kids they were born in the US. The video ends after the officer takes the minor’s photo and asks the teen to verify that his name matches what the app’s database pulled up.Continue readingThe Business of KillingEtienne Note: Suicide isn’t just a problem in the Chair Force.. It is across the services. We have covered Marine Drill Instructors who have also been hit incredibly hard. I blame the organized crime “government” for running the unethically manipulative techniques I describe in To See the Cage Is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use To Control the Many. Many of these techniques are used to create stone-cold killers and many of the troops realize what they have been a part of and have to deal with the remorse. Many of these classic “cult-creation techniques” produce higher than average suicides in other unethically manipulative cults that ask their adherents to suspend their individuality and don the Uni-Form and Shave their heads….by Austin CampbellStaff Sgt. Quinte Brown never showed up for dinner. It was a monthly ritual he kept with his friends in the Air Force — tacos and tequila — meant to remind each other that they were still human. Brown was always early, the one who helped cook, played with the kids, and stayed late to clean up. But on that cold Sunday night in January 2023, his friends kept checking their phones, wondering where he was. For someone as steady as Brown, an unexplained absence was unusual.Continue readingJunkermann’s Strategic Lawfare Aimed At Substack Turns FarcicalEtienne Note: Our Substack is also referenced in the Junkermann’s DMCA / Lawfare Claim for syndicating the article: First Friends: How “Italy’s Donald Trump” Introduced Naomi Campbell to Jeffrey Epstein.

PLUS… Etienne Breaks Down: Governments Are Our Enemy! on Jerm WarfareDear Subscribers,Short note today… I had a great conversation with South African political cartoonist Jeremy “Jerm” Nell on his podcast Jerm Warfare which is the top story this week. I am slamming and jamming on my upcoming book Voluntaryism- How the Only “ISM” Fair for Everyone Leads to Harmony, Prosperity and Good Karma for All… I had my most productive week in months… We are still trying to raise some duckets to finish that up… If you are a “heavy hitter” interested in making a big impact, I would be happy to set up a zoom to take you through what we have cooking…Top Stories of the WeekGovernments Are Your Enemy! – Etienne de la Boetie2 on Jerm WarfareHas “Government” Been the Biggest Scam in History?In this conversation, Etienne de la Boetie2, an American author and advocate for voluntarism known for his critical views on government structures, discusses the concept of voluntarism and critiques the legitimacy and necessity of government. He argues that government is a scam that perpetuates crony capitalism and monopolises power, causing societal harm. The chat explores the role of media in shaping perceptions, the flaws of democracy, and the potential for a society without government. Practical steps for delegitimising government and the influence of banking on societal structures are also examined, culminating in a hopeful vision for a future based on voluntary interactions and REAL freedom.Continue reading…Videos of the WeekTech CEO’s are using this man’s behavioral science tool to turn our children into addictsStanford University Behavioral Psychologist Dr. BJ Fogg gave the tech companies the formula for screen addiction: B=M+A+T or Behavior = Motivation + Ability + Trigger.

I hope you will make time to check it out and read my article exposing how the organized crime “government” has known that their “vaccines” have been causing neurological issues in kids since at least 2000.A new documentary, An Inconvenient Study, which just won Best Film at the Malibu Film Festival, is shaking the vaccine industry to its very core.The film centers on what may be the largest vaccinated vs. unvaccinated study ever conducted, tracking 18,468 children over a ten-year period within the Henry Ford Health System. According to the data, unvaccinated children were found to be significantly healthier than their vaccinated counterparts — a finding that challenges mainstream assumptions about vaccine safety and public health.Here’s what the study revealed:• Vaccinated children were 4.29 times more likely to have asthma.• Three times higher risk for atopic diseases (like eczema).• Nearly six times higher risk for autoimmune disorders — a category that includes over 80 different diseases.• 5.5 times higher risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.• 2.9 times more motor disabilities.• 4.5 times more speech disorders.• Three times more developmental delays.• Six times more acute and chronic ear infections.• In nearly 2,000 unvaccinated children, there were ZERO cases of ADHD, diabetes, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, tics, or other psychological disorders.• The study’s conclusion is devastating. It states: “[I]n contrast to our expectations, we found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an overall 2.5-fold INCREASE in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition when compared to children unexposed to vaccination.”BUT… the study was never published.Why?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.

It smells like an engineered collapse where they are setting the country up for “The Great Taking” where they have changed the laws in all 50 states where the financial custodians (stockbrokers, pension managers, etc.) can KEEP your assets in a financial calamity. Are the organized crime bankers setting up a great collapse where they are going to try to hang on to both what they stole with fractional reserve dollars AND what they steal in a collapse?by Nick LichtenbergThe U.S. national debt has surged past $38 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury Department, just two months after surpassing previous forecasts to reach $37 trillion in August. This means the federal debt rose by $1 trillion in a little over two months, which the Peter G. Peterson Foundation calculates is the fastest rate of growth outside the pandemic.Continue readingFlorida Bill Would Require Medical Examiners to Include Recent Vaccination History When Investigating Sudden Deaths of Infants, Childrenby Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.This article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.A Florida lawmaker wants to legally require medical examiners to report recent vaccinations in all cases involving the sudden death of an infant, child or young adult.Florida Sen. Ileana Garcia on Tuesday introduced Senate Bill 188, which would amend existing Florida law by expanding the responsibilities of medical examiners when completing autopsies for sudden deaths, particularly in young people.If passed, the bill will require examiners to review and document the deceased child’s immunization and medical records and report all vaccines or “emergency countermeasures” administered 90 days before death to the national Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID) and Sudden Death in the Young (SDY) Case Registry, following protocols established by national health agencies.Continue reading38 Percent of Home Builders Cutting Prices, 68 Percent Offer Incentivesby mishtalk.comThe Freddie Mac average 30-year mortgage rate peaked at 7.62 percent in October of 2023.

Each battery has eight missiles on mobile trucks. This setup allows for quick deployment and fast strikes. The US Military is deploying the first missile battery.The LRHW is a road-mobile and air-transportable weapon system, armed with missiles that can travel at speeds in excess of 3,800 miles per hour, with a reported range of 1,725 miles. It communicates with the Army’s command and control networks via the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System.The LRHW system consists of Army ground support equipment—one battery operations center (BOC), four transporter erector launchers, a BOC support vehicle and up to eight All-Up Rounds plus Canister. The LRHW leverages a Navy-designed missile (a two-stage booster and the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (CHGB)) packaged in an Army canister.The real difference with today’s hypersonic weapons is that they combine multiple features that in the aggregate make them very hard to shoot down. Speed, maneuverability (unpredictability) and flight at relatively low altitudes (as compared to ballistic missiles) make modern hypersonic weapons survivable and more likely to reach the intended target. Existing missile defenses have a very low chance of intercepting.Continue readingInflation: Slowly the Middle-Class Diesby Mises Wire•Dann E. KroegerThat is where we are today. The Federal Reserve has used its tools to lock inflation into our lives for some time to come. For most citizens, our major challenge today is to fight the rise in prices for consumables that matter most to us: food, housing, clothing, and transportation.Over the past 5 years, the government’s official measurement—the Consumer Price Index (CPI)—shows a cumulative increase of about 20 percent. A visit to the store by any consumer, however, tells a much different story. We see price jumps much more than the 20 percent CPI. It is common to see some items jump 30 percent or more, and that continues in 2025.Frank Shostak, in his article “Inflation Is Not Price Increases. Inflation Causes Price Increases,” states, “Despite its popularity, the idea of a consumer price index (CPI) is flawed. It is based on the view that it is possible to establish an average of prices of goods and services, which is not possible.” The article continues, “Inflation is not caused by the actions of private citizens, but by the government: by an artificial expansion of the money supply required to support deficit spending.”Continue readingUnfettered and Unaccountable: How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Forceby J. David McSwane and Hannah AllamProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power.

Were they helpful?When Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers stormed through Santa Ana, California, in June, panicked calls flooded into the city’s emergency response system.Recordings of those calls, obtained by ProPublica, captured some of the terror residents felt as they watched masked men ambush people and force them into unmarked cars. In some cases, the men wore plain clothes and refused to identify themselves. There was no way to confirm whether they were immigration agents or imposters. In six of the calls to Santa Ana police, residents described what they were seeing as kidnappings.Continue readingHuman Respect in One Lessonby harmonyandprosperity.orgTheft and violence always reduce happiness, harmony, and prosperity.

Happier now or happier later, either way, we’re pursuing happiness.Continue readingVery Soon, ICE Will Know Exactly Where You Are All the Timeby Ellie Quinlan HoughtalingImmigration and Customs Enforcement will soon be tracking cell phone data.The immigration law enforcement agency has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, according to ICE documents obtained by 404 Media. ICE reportedly prefers the service because it also peels information from social media accounts.Redacted documents make reference to two products, both produced by the contractor Penlink. They are known as Tangles and WebLoc. Both were created by an Israeli company called Cobwebs, which merged into Penlink in 2023. ICE has reportedly spent upwards of $5 million for access to the software, Forbes reported last month.Previous attempts to monitor consumers’ location data for immigration enforcement were found to be illegal. A sweeping records request by the ACLU in 2022 found that DHS had obtained more than 336,000 location data points across North America by scraping app user data on hundreds of millions of phones during Donald Trump’s first term.Continue readingThe Apha-Gal Syndrome Is Unproven and Is a Globalist Tool in the War on Meatby Dr. Sam BaileyAlpha-gal syndrome is said to be a food allergy that develops after a tick bite, causing allergic reactions to red meat and other mammalian products. Dr. Sam Bailey explains the history and story behind this new ‘disease’ is really a tool for globalist agendas. According to experts, the ticks causing the disease have changed their patterns due to climate change. The World Economic Forum has been gaslighting us that consuming meat is endangering the planet due to climate change and claimed that beef alone was responsible for 25% of greenhouse emissions in 2010.The disease started when some people reacted negatively to the cancer drug Cetuximab. Researcher Thomas Platts-Mills was researching why Cetuximab caused allergies in some when he was bitten by a tick and developed alpha-gal allergies himself. Dr. Sam commented that it was a remarkable coincidence that a researcher who was being paid by a pharmaceutical company would come up with this idea and then he himself was bitten by a tick.Continue readingHe Co-Founded Wikipedia, Now He Says The Site Needs A Radical Changeby Tyler DurdenAuthored by Jan Jekielek and Lawrence Wilson via The Epoch Times,Wikipedia, a popular online encyclopedia millions of people treat as an authoritative source of information, is systemically biased against conservative, religious, and other points of view, according to the site’s co-founder, Larry Sanger.Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia and former philosophy professor, among stacks of reference books at a library in Columbus, Ohio, on March 26, 2007. Kiichiro Sato/AP PhotoSanger, 57, who now heads the Knowledge Standards Foundation, believes Wikipedia can be salvaged either by a renewed emphasis on free speech within the organization or by a grassroots campaign to make diverse viewpoints heard.Failing that, Sanger said, government intervention may be required to pierce the shell of anonymity that now protects Wikipedia’s editors from defamation lawsuits by public figures who believe the site portrays them unfairly.Continue readingCh 6: Statistical Coding System Designed To Measure Eugenicsby ZoweCHAPTER 6THE CODE FOR COVID-19 was announced as U07.1. 1 Code instructions for its use are an exception to the coding guidelines. U07.1 is a virus identifier code. Virus identifier codes are not permitted to be reported as a primary diagnosis. The intention for the U07.1 was as a primary diagnosis. The only other virus codes with that exception were those Dr. Fauci had been working on at the NIH: Zika and HIV.2 I found this anomaly suspicious. U07.1 also didn’t require any diagnostic testing, only the physician’s written statement. Reporting other diseases requires clinical documentation in addition to the physician’s statement.When this code came out, hospitals had just been forcibly bankrupted. Bonuses were available for using the diagnosis code. All healthcare institutions enforced the same mandates and protocols, without exception. The public health officials that controlled the coding system were all working together, and it was clear to me that the coding system was designed to enable the manipulation of health statistics at the expense of patients’ lives.Continue readingAI Not A Reliable Source Of News, EU Media Study SaysBy AFP – Agence France PresseArtificial intelligence assistants such as ChatGPT made errors about half the time when asked about news events, according to a vast study by European public broadcasters released Wednesday.The mistakes included confusing news with parody, getting dates wrong or simply inventing events.The report by the European Broadcasting Union looked at four widely used assistants: OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Microsoft’s Copilot, Google’s Gemini, and Perplexity.Overall, 45 percent of all AI answers had “at least one significant issue”, regardless of language or country of origin, the report said.One out of every five answers “contained major accuracy issues, including hallucinated details and outdated information.”Of the four assistants, “Gemini performed worst with significant issues in 76 percent of responses, more than double the other assistants, largely due to its poor sourcing performance”.Continue readingOpenAI launches AI browser Atlas in latest challenge to GoogleBy Juby Babu and Krystal HuAtlas browser challenges Google’s Chrome dominanceAtlas offers AI features like content summarization and task automationAnalysts see ad competition riskOct 21 (Reuters) – OpenAI on Tuesday unveiled ChatGPT Atlas, a long-anticipated artificial intelligence-powered web browser built around its popular chatbot, in a direct challenge to Google Chrome’s dominance.The launch marks OpenAI’s latest move to capitalize on 800 million weekly active ChatGPT users, as it expands into more aspects of users’ online lives by collecting data about consumers’ browser behavior. It could accelerate a broader shift toward AI-driven search, as users increasingly turn to conversational tools that synthesize information instead of relying on traditional keyword-based results from Google — intensifying competition between OpenAI and Google.Continue readingAcetaminophen: Not So Safe After Allby Anthony Colpo“Acetaminophen is one of the safest drugs around,” claims a September 25 Nature article, one of many written in the wake of the recent White House announcement linking the drug to autism1.The Nature claim is nonsense. Far from being one of the safest drugs, acetaminophen is a leading cause of poisoning hospitalizations.Also known as paracetamol, it is sold under numerous brand names, including Tylenol, Panadol, Excedrin, and, to the displeasure of yours truly, Calpol.I just typed “acetaminophen toxicity” into PubMed; it returned 6,927 results.By way of comparison, I also typed “ephedra toxicity” into the PubMed search field; it returned only 148 results.Those of you whose squatted and benched your way through the 1990s will remember ephedra, a herb that contains ephedrine. Ephedra has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is known as Ma Huang. Ephedra has thermogenic and anorectic (appetite suppressant) properties, and its thermogenicity is enhanced when taken along with caffeine. Unlike most fat loss supplements, the ephedra+caffeine combo has proven itself effective in clinical trials2345.Continue readingRethinking Cardiovascular Disease Treatment Methodsby Dr. Joseph MercolaCurrent treatments for heart disease fail to address root causes. Stents and bypass surgery only restore blood flow temporarily without tackling underlying endothelial dysfunction and inflammation driving heart diseaseDespite their ability to lower cholesterol, statins have limitations. While these drugs lower LDL cholesterol by 25% to 35%, they don’t address oxidative damage or rebuild vessel health, leaving underlying inflammatory processes unchangedExcess linoleic acid (LA) from vegetable oils fuels heart disease. Modern diets contain 7.2% LA, as opposed to 2.8% a century ago. This creates mitochondrial dysfunction and dangerous oxidized LDL cholesterol formationReducing LA intake shows measurable cardiovascular benefits. Limiting LA to under 5 grams daily reduces inflammatory markers like hsCRP by 15% and IL-6 by 10% within weeksContinue readingBig Food’s new front group exposed: Americans For Ingredient TransparencyBy Food BabeThere is something you urgently need to know. All of the progress we’ve made in in the last few months–with states passing laws that will soon ban and label harmful chemicals from our food–is now in serious jeopardy.Big Food & Chemical corporations have been quietly orchestrating their next move behind the scenes…And now they’ve made a big play.They just launched a new group posing as a consumer-advocacy campaign for ingredient transparency, but its real goal is to block states from banning food additives. (1)This name sure sounds nice on paper, which was very clever on their part – and goes hand in hand with their mission to pull the wool over the eyes of the American public and undo all of the grassroots work that we have been doing.The goal of this group is to undermine all of the Governors who have bravely enacted state legislation to get chemicals out of our food.Continue readingLow Interest Rates Don’t Have the Stimulus the Economy Cravesby Thomas EddlemIn the 2006 Mike Judge movie Idiocracy, the dumbed-down human population five-hundred years into the future have replaced water in drinking fountains with the salty sports drink “Brawndo,” and have even begun to water farm crops with Brawndo. Facing a nationwide famine as a result of repeatedly salting the crop fields, time-traveling twenty-first century slacker Joe Bauers suggests that the future-world dimwits use water for the crops rather than Brawndo. “But Brawndo’s got what plants crave,” the dimwitted White House advisors reply, echoing the official corporate marketing line repeatedly, “It’s got electrolytes.”The movie is a warning about the dangers of blindly accepting the official propaganda line, not thinking critically, and not doing any of your own research. And I can’t help but see this movie scene every time someone tells me that lower interest rates stimulate the economy. “But lower interest rates have got what the economy craves,” they say. “It’s got stimulus.”Continue readingDigital Prison Break: 100 Tactics to Escape the Surveillance StateBy Reinette SenumIt has finally arrived: The dreaded Digital ID. It has already been rolled out in various forms throughout 140 countries and is fast approaching U.S. shores.On October 13th, 2025, our very own California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law dubbed the Digital Age Assurance Act, AB 1043.If Newsom and California lawmakers have their way, the law will take effect on January 1, 2027, requiring people setting up new smartphones, tablets, and computers to provide their age or birthdate. Device and app makers must sort users into age brackets and provide these details to app developers, who will be held responsible for compliance. For older devices and software set up before 2027, there’s a grace period until July 1, 2027, for compliance to fully ramp up.CALIFORNIA PUSHBACKAlthough this law drew full support from tech giants like Google, Meta, OpenAI, and Snap — who I’m sure are smacking their digital lips over this one — it has spurred significant pushback from other arenas. Major Hollywood studios, including Amazon and Netflix, lobbied against AB 1043, arguing that device-based age verification could cause confusion when multiple family members share profiles, thus potentially undermining user experience and privacy.Continue readingNEW STUDY: 91% of Moderna mRNA Shot Recipients Develop Cardiovascular Side Effects with Measurable Arterial DysfunctionBy Nicolas Hulscher, MPHA new peer-reviewed paper from Taipei Medical University has reported that 91% of Moderna mRNA-1273 recipients developed cardiovascular side effects during the observation period—within one week of receiving the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine.Using advanced spectral pulse-wave analysis, the researchers detected statistically significant post-vaccine changes in arterial pulse amplitude and phase — patterns consistent with arterial dysfunction and increased vascular stiffness.These were objective, quantifiable changes in how the arteries function — the same alterations seen in hypertension, reduced vascular elasticity, and early endothelial stress.The study measured the radial pulse wave — the tiny pressure wave your heartbeat sends through your arteries — in 203 adults before and after Moderna vaccination.Continue readingExclusive: California Medicaid Provider Pays Parents Hundreds of Dollars to Vaccinate Their Kidsby Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.This article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.One of the largest Medicaid health plans in the U.S. is paying low-income parents hundreds of dollars in gift cards to vaccinate their children, an investigation by The Defender found.Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) — which serves about 1.6 million people in Southern California — gives parents a $200 gift card when their baby receives a flu shot and the rotavirus series of shots by age 1, according to its 2025 Medi-Cal Member Incentive FAQs sent to all of IEHP’s general practitioners, family practitioners and pediatricians.IEHP also gives a $50 gift card when a 12- or 13-year-old receives the first dose of the HPV vaccine, and an additional $150 gift card if the pre-teen completes the two- or three-dose series by age 13.Continue readingAutism Symptoms Could Be Added to U.S. Vaccine Injury Programby Amber BakerOn July 28, 2025, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said he planned to overhaul the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP. In September, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) announced it may add certain symptoms of autism to the official list of vaccine side effects eligible for compensation.1The VICP was established by Congress under the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) as an alternative to bringing a lawsuit against DPT, MMR and polio vaccine manufacturers to protect the childhood vaccine supply in the U.S. after manufacturers threatened to leave the country with no childhood vaccines unless they were shielded for all vaccine injury lawsuits. Although in 1986 Congress gave the vaccine companies partial liability protection for failure to warn (a legal responsibility taken over by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) through publication of Vaccine Information Statements (VIS), Congress did not give vaccine companies a liability shield for product design defect—failure to make a vaccine less reactive. In 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that vaccine manufacturers should not be held liable for product design defect in the manufacture of vaccines licensed by the government.Continue readingHow To Make Coconut Milk Ice Cream (3 Flavors!)By Food BabeAs you probably know by now, I don’t have any diet related dogmas (except avoiding industrial chemicals, pesticides, toxins and other additives in food), but I do follow my body’s intuition and listen to it very closely when deciding what to eat. I have noticed not eating dairy products on a daily basis has improved the way my body looks and feels tremendously. I used to be one of those gals that SWORE by greek yogurt for snack time… and now I can’t even think of having that stuff. My skin is brighter and less sensitive, my stomach feels flatter and my general energy soars when I pay attention to the amount of dairy products in my diet. But, if there’s one thing that gets me off my routine – it’s ice cream! I love it! And that’s why I’m always looking for ways to enjoy dairy free desserts and it’s why I created this recipe so I can enjoy ice cream all the time without sacrificing how I feel, the way I look or my energy level.Continue readingOzempic Literally Came From a Monster – And It’s Not AloneBy Jess CockerillThe toxic bite of a Gila monster can kill a human, but a specific ingredient in the cocktail of the lizard’s venom is the reason we have glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) agonists like Ozempic and Wegovy.At the end of the 20th century, endocrinologist Daniel Drucker was looking for a hormone similar enough to the human gut’s GLP-1, which would have similar appetite-suppressing and blood sugar-regulating qualities, without being broken down by the human body so quickly.Drucker had read about the work of endocrinologist John Eng, gastroenterologist Jean-Pierre Raufman and biochemist John Pisano, who had sequenced the proteins in Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum) venom and found two that looked like human GLP-1.Drucker and his team from the University of Toronto acquired a Gila monster from the Utah Zoo’s breeding program to dissect for further research. This work confirmed that the lizard species’ unique genes produce a protein, Exendin-4, that fit the bill, mimicking GLP-1 while hanging round in the human body for far longer.Continue readingPivotal Research On Creatine Finds Foundational Applications Way Beyond The Gym – Including Brain, Bone, And Healthy Agingby Tyler DurdenThere’s new science out on creatine monohydrate that reveals it’s way more than just a performance enhancer for athletes. In fact, it’s pretty amazing for a wide variety of applications throughout all stages of life. If you already take creatine, you know it’s great for increasing muscle strength, size and performance. But did you know it even helps maintain lean tissue strength without exercise? It’s also powerful when it comes to cognition and memory – including early-stage Alzheimer’s and sleep-deprived college students.The new studies (linked directly below) found Creatine to:Support muscle and function even without exercise. In studies of older adults and immobilized limbs, creatine users maintained more lean tissue and strength than non-users. One trial found older adults taking creatine for 32 weeks preserved leg-press and chest-press strength despite periods of reduced activity.Continue readingEU Declares War On Its Own Membersby NextBigFutureEXEC SummarySpaceX’s $17 billion acquisition of EchoStar’s AWS-4 and H-block spectrum enables broadband DTC (direct to cellphone) with 20x throughput over prior low-band spectrum from T-mobile.This mid-band S-spectrum offers excellent propagation characteristics but phones will need new chips to work with the spectrum band.The phones will have new chips to support the specific bands, antenna changes and better power management.DTC is an emerging service and we are going from it barely works in 2025 to a mature mostly 4G service in 2028. In 2025, SpaceX Starlink is the only continuous coverage service with basic texting, voice and low speed data service. All providers will build out coverage and reliability in 2026. I am projecting the DTC transition to 4G speed and services as satellites and satellite optimized phones are deployed in 2026-2028.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsFree Cities Conference: Returning to Prague – October 31st to November 2nd, 2025 – EventCHD 2025 Conference – November 7th-9th – Austin, TXFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineBitchill is a week-long retreat in Próspera, Roatán, taking place November 18–25, designed for Bitcoiners, entrepreneurs, and free spirits who value freedom and community.

PLUS… Larken Rose on the Fragile Fascism of Donald TrumpDear Subscribers,I usually don’t send Five Meme Friday out on a Saturday night, but since the top story is the article I wrote on the new award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Study, I wanted to get it out on a night that many folks might be able to see the film. The documentary covers the largest ever study of vaxxed vs. unvaxxed kids, where vaccinated kids have 453% more neurological issues than unvaccinated kids and 57% of vaccinated kids have been rendered chronically ill (asthma, eczema, allergies, autoimmune diseases, developmental delays, motor impairment, and more!). There are at least five more studies that I have reviewed (the film claims even more) that show the exact same thing. I have linked to many of them in the article and have reproduced the entire Henry Ford study in this Daily News article as well as added it to the “vaccines” folder in The Liberator, our uncensorable flashdrive full of evidence of “government” illegitimacy and criminality like this. What better example of criminality than mandating brain-damaging “vaccines” for the population you are tax-farming for over half their income in overt taxes, covert taxes, and inflation. Speaking of the Liberator, when I was writing the article I went to link to the PDF version of RFK Jr. most famous article ever: Deadly Immunity from Rolling Stone Magazine in 2006 that proves the US “government” (CDC, FDA, WHO, etc.) have known that the “vaccines” have been causing neurological issues in kids since 2000. It had mysteriously disappeared from the Dropbox. I put it back and linked it in the article but this is why the Flashdrives are the gold standard!In other news, the US version of my “pro-modified” meme on the REAL US Political Spectrum from last week’s top article: The Fake Left-Right Paradigm – What is the REAL Political Spectrum the Monopoly Media is Hiding? has been going viral so we decided to create versions for all the other countries that are running the same scam on their populations. Here is a version that Paul Hellier, the host of Fair Food Forager podcast, helped me create for Australia. If you can help us create one for your country, please email me at Ev******@**********ty.org or better yet use the contact form on the website as e-mail doesn’t always get through…Top Stories of the WeekAn Inconvenient Study – New Documentary Exposes Vaccinated Kids have 453% More Neurodevelopmental DisordersHenry Ford Birth Cohort: Vaxxed vs. Unvaxxed, Reported Vaccinated Kids Had 453% More Neurodevelopmental Disorders — 57% Rendered Chronically IllA new documentary, An Inconvenient Study, which just won Best Film at the Malibu Film Festival, is shaking the vaccine industry to its very core.The film centers on what may be the largest vaccinated vs. unvaccinated study ever conducted, tracking 18,468 children over a ten-year period within the Henry Ford Health System. According to the data, unvaccinated children were found to be significantly healthier than their vaccinated counterparts — a finding that challenges mainstream assumptions about vaccine safety and public health.Here’s what the study revealed:• Vaccinated children were 4.29 times more likely to have asthma.• Three times higher risk for atopic diseases (like eczema).• Nearly six times higher risk for autoimmune disorders — a category that includes over 80 different diseases.• 5.5 times higher risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.• 2.9 times more motor disabilities.• 4.5 times more speech disorders.• Three times more developmental delays.• Six times more acute and chronic ear infections.• In nearly 2,000 unvaccinated children, there were ZERO cases of ADHD, diabetes, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, tics, or other psychological disorders.• The study’s conclusion is devastating. It states: “[I]n contrast to our expectations, we found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an overall 2.5-fold INCREASE in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition when compared to children unexposed to vaccination.”BUT… the study was never published.Why?Continue reading…Videos of the WeekLarken Rose on the Fragile Fascism of Donald TrumpEtienne Note: Confirmed! I am in Memphis, TN which is a fraction of the size of Los Angeles and where 219 federally deputized officers and somewhere around 150 National Guard troops. The Memphis Police Chief summed it up: “Memphis is not DC. DC is 68 square miles. Memphis is 340 square miles. DC had 1500 National Guard in 68 square miles. We might get to 200, if that,” They have, allegedly, been here for over a week… It has been completely invisible… We have not seen anything resembling an occupying force. Granted they are probably in the ghetto vs. our nice suburban neighborhood in East Memphis… But they are invisible and we have heard no one discussing it at all… We don’t watch the news propaganda so it is invisible there as well..AoLF Board of Advisor Member Matt W: – I thought Rose might broach the subject of the push for the completion of the satellite (Star Link Et al.) and autonomous drone network tech (Palantir/Anduril Et al.) capabilities…This as we watch the horrific fast prototyping and testing on live humans in Ukraine and Gaza.

The Northrop Grumman-Colt launcher is being developed primarily to meet the U.S. Army’s requirements for a future Precision Grenadier System (PGS), a program that emerged after the XM25 was canceled.Rylan Harris, Director of Strategy and Business Development for Northrop Grumman’s Armament Systems business unit, provided an update on the company’s work related to PGS during a press briefing today. TWZ, as well as other outlets, were in attendance. Currently, the new grenade launcher from Northrop Grumman and Colt is an 11-and-a-half-pound semi-automatic design that feeds from five-round box magazines and looks like an oversized rifle.Continue readingThe Impossible Mathematics of Vaccine Salvationby UnbekomingThis essay relies entirely on the rigorous analytical work ofDenis Rancourt, Joseph Hickey, and Christian Linard, whose meticulous examination of mortality data and counterfactual claims has exposed fundamental impossibilities in the official COVID-19 narrative. Their courage in pursuing uncomfortable truths despite professional risks represents science at its finest – following evidence wherever it leads. Any errors in interpretation or presentation in this essay are mine alone and should not reflect on their exemplary research.On October 10, 2024, Dr. Peter Hotez sat before Congress and delivered testimony under legal obligation to tell the truth. He declared that COVID-19 vaccines saved 3.1 or 3.2 million American lives and averted 18 million hospitalizations. Without them, he claimed, the United States would have seen 4 million deaths instead of “1-plus million deaths.” These numbers, he assured the committee, came from studies by his “colleague and friend Alison Galvani at Yale.”Continue readingAluminium in Vaccines Is Harmfulby Brownstone InstitutePeter GotzscheIt has been surprisingly difficult to get an answer to a simple and highly relevant question: Is aluminium in vaccines harmful? After having studied the best evidence we have, the randomised trials, in great detail, I conclude that the answer is yes.Like lead, aluminium is a highly neurotoxic metal. We will therefore expect vaccines containing aluminium adjuvants to cause neurological harms if the aluminium enters the nervous system in neurotoxic amounts.The aluminium in the adjuvant is important for eliciting a strong immune response in non-live vaccines and their efficacy is related to their toxicity at the injection site.1-3 Immune-reactive cells engulf particles of aluminium adjuvant and distribute their load throughout the body, including to the brain, where they are killed, releasing their contents into the surrounding brain tissue where they can produce an inflammatory response.Continue readingAmerica First? Hegseth Announces Qatar To Build Air Force Facility Deep In US Heartlandby Tyler DurdenDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth just over a week ago delivered his America First rah-rah higher-military-standards and end-of-wokeness speech to some 800 Generals and Admirals gathered at Quantico. That’s all well and good – and a very welcome and refreshing break from the Biden era… but now he pivots to allowing the Gulf Arab country of Qatar to establish a foreign base in the heart of the United States(!?)…“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday announced a finalized agreement that will allow the Qatari Emiri Air Force to build a facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho,” writes CBS on Friday based on the Pentagon announcement.Until now, there is no foreign military base on American soil – only “joint training programs” or facilities where foreign pilots might have a semi-permanent presence under a US training program.Continue readingTrump Urges Pardon For Netanyahu At Knesset: “Cigars & Champagne, Who The Hell Cares?”by Tyler Durden“Hey, I have an idea Mr President: Why don’t you give him a pardon? Give him a pardon, come on,” Trump said, pointing at Netanyahu during his big Monday speech before the Knesset in Jerusalem, upon the historic release of all remaining Israeli hostages by Hamas.Trump stated: “By the way, that was not in the speech, you probably know.” He said this as pro-Netanyahu lawmakers gave Trump a long standing ovation, which actually happened more than once during and after the somewhat lengthy address. When Trump talked about the idea of a pardon, Knesset members shouted: “Bibi! Bibi!”Pointing at Herzog, President Trump said: “But I happen to like this gentleman over here, and it just seems to make so much sense.”That’s when he called Netanyahu “one of the greatest” wartime leaders, adding: “And cigars and Champagne, who the hell cares?”Continue readingJames Corbett: Your Guide to a World On Fire (2025 Edition)by The Corbett Reportby James Corbettcorbettreport.comOctober 12, 2025If you’ve been paying any attention at all to world events, you’ll have noticed something remarkable recently. Fiery, youth-led protests are threatening the government in country after country.Identified as “Gen Z Protests,” these youth uprisings have been sweeping the world in recent months, from Madagascar to Peru to the Philippines to Nepal to Indonesia.What on earth is going on here?As it turns out, I’m not the only one asking this question.After noting this worldwide protest phenomenon in a recent edition of New World Next Week, I made reference to my 2019 article, “Your Guide to a World on Fire.” Then, lo and behold, I received this comment from Corbett Report member angie.j:James, is there an update to this 2019 post (”World on Fire”) for 2025?Continue readingChronicle of a Collapse Foretold: The Paradox of World Trade Center 7 and the 9/11 NarrativeBy Kristen GaspariniAs we near the 24th and 25th anniversaries of 9/11, the time is right for soberly re-examining the official narrative of the event that defines our century, not by getting lost in a maze of speculations, but by paying attention to a paradox that can be analyzed with logic and common sense: that of World Trade Center Building 7, and the government report on how it fell.World Trade Center 7 (WTC7) was a 47-story, steel-framed skyscraper which, in less than seven seconds, collapsed symmetrically, pulverizing into its own footprint at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11. It stood between Vesey and Barclay Streets, 370 feet north of WTC1, the second Twin Tower that fell. WTC7 was not hit by an airplane. Its collapse, although stranger, received dramatically less media coverage than the Twin Towers in the days following 9/11, so much so that a majority of U.S. citizens are unaware that a third building fell on that day.Continue readingBitcoin crash proves crypto is a rigged casinoBy John RapleySomething strange happened in crypto-land this weekend. On Friday afternoon at around 4:30 pm, a large “whale” — a player big enough to noticeably move asset prices — began placing shorts on crypto. Short orders occur when traders borrow an asset, which they immediately sell, before buying it back at (they hope) a reduced price, repaying the loan and then pocketing the difference.Minutes later, President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on Chinese imports. The price of Bitcoin then plunged by 4%, whereupon most of the short positions were closed. Whoever was doing the trading walked away with a profit of $192 million. Nice work if you can get it.Of course, everyone else in the crypto space lost around $200 billion among them. The immediate suspicion was that someone in the administration knew what was coming and decided to make a fast buck.Continue reading“We Want Our Entitlements”: In November, Food Stamp Money Will Run Out For 42 Million Very Angry Americansby MichaelWhat do you think is going to happen when tens of millions of impoverished Americans suddenly stop getting their food stamp money from the government? It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that a lot of them will be extremely angry. Unfortunately, if the current government shutdown stretches into the month of November, we really will be facing a nightmare scenario. Vast numbers of extraordinarily frustrated people will be demanding their money, and if they don’t get it I have a feeling that we could see rioting and violence.I haven’t written much about the government shutdown because I was hoping that it would be resolved quickly.Sadly, that has not happened.Neither the Democrats or the Republicans are budging, and House Speaker Mike Johnson is warning that we are potentially facing “one of the longest shutdowns in American history”…Continue readingThe Jab That Keeps on Giving…300% Increase in ALS(Motor Neuron Disease) Drug sales reveals Singapore’s Hidden Health Horror Story!By Aussie17A big part of my job back in Big Pharma (for those who don’t know, I worked in three of the top 5 pharmaceutical companies, plus one in the top 20) was spinning a good story around sales numbers for the bosses. Nail the narrative, and you’re golden for another year. Botch it, and you’re packing your desk. I’ve been knee-deep in drug sales data for close to 20 years, so I know when something smells off—like a trend that’s too steady to suddenly go haywire.That’s why what I’m about to share has me—and a bunch of my ex-pharma buddies—losing sleep. It’s a slow-burn health crisis that’s slipping right past the mainstream headlines, but it’s real, and it’s building.I even had to double-check the numbers and run the trend lines myself (I’ll walk you through that in a sec). We’re talking about a spike in sales for Riluzole, the go-to drug for treating ALS, or Motor Neuron Disease (MND) as it’s sometimes called. This isn’t some flashy new med; it’s a 30-year-old staple that’s been as predictable as clockwork for decades.Continue readingSingle-seater eVTOLs duke it out for air race supremacyBy Paul RiddenWhat could be better than strapping yourself into your own personal electric flyer? Racing with some buddies of course, and that’s coming closer with the unveiling of the Jetson Air Games concept recently. Strap in, and join us for a demo vid.The Jetson ONE multicopter sees a pilot surrounded by a simple spaceframe, which takes to the air courtesy of eight props mounted to four arms in X configuration, and zipping to a reported top speed of 63 mph (102 km/h).We’ve been following the progress of Jetson Aero for a few years now, from its official launch of the ONE through development milestones and on to production. While it’s sure to be a ton of fun hopping to work in one of these things, racing them promises to take your breath away.It’s not a new idea. Australia’s Airspeeder has been racing electric flyers for a while now, but so far the sporty electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft haven’t had anyone in the pilot’s seat. Meanwhile, Jetson founder Tomasz Patan has become quite the capable flyer, introducing huge racing pylons last year for pilots to twist and turn around along a short course.The concept entered multiplayer mode back in May with the “world’s first Jetson Race“ – where company CEO Stéphan D’haene emerged victorious. After a quick pit stop helping Poland’s GOPR with a mountain rescue operation, the team made its way to Bentonville, Arkansas, for UP Summit 2025 and the latest flight demo.Continue readingICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair…I’m a resident’by Gregory Royal Pratt, Chicago TribuneRueben Antonio Cruz was sitting with a friend in Rogers Park when ICE agents pulled up onto the street.The immigration officers stopped their truck and went straight after them Thursday, Cruz told the Tribune.“They asked us if we have papers. I said I do but I don’t have them on me,” Cruz, a 60-year old man with heart problems originally from El Salvador, recalled in Spanish.The agents stood Cruz up, put him in their truck, drove around in circles, and asked questions, he said.Where was he born? What is his name? Who is his mother? Who is his father?“I told them, they are dead,” Cruz said. The agents said they needed the information anyway so they could look him up in their databases. Eventually, the agents verified that he is, in fact, legally in the country. And they let him go.Continue readingSam Altman says ChatGPT will soon sext with verified adultsEtienne Note: Weaponized time-wasters and cultural debasement. Chat GPT is one of those companies with a 666 hidden in their corporate logo.by Emma RothOpenAI will soon allow “erotica” for ChatGPT users who verify their age on the platform. In an X post on Tuesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the company will add support for mature conversations when it launches age-gating in December.“As we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our ‘treat adult users like adults’ principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults,” Altman writes. Earlier this month, OpenAI hinted at allowing developers to create “mature” ChatGPT apps after it implements the “appropriate age verification and controls.”OpenAI isn’t the only company dipping into erotica, as Elon Musk’s xAI previously launched flirty AI companions, which appear as 3D anime models in the Grok app.Continue readingTrump’s Gaza Peace Plan… A Wedding Without a Bride and GroomBy Larry C. JohnsonDonald Trump garnered some major political optics yesterday as he signed his Gaza Peace Plan, with a raft of European, Asian and Arab leaders sitting in the cheap seats watching the spectacle. But who has a signing of a peace agreement when neither of the two parties to the conflict are present? This is more than a bad joke… this is a scam. I can understand holding a funeral for the dearly departed even if the corpse ain’t present, but what took place Monday in Sharm El-Sheik was more like a royal wedding without a bride or groom present… Hell, neither chose to attend even via video conference.I can guess why Bibi didn’t show… The majority of those attending had recently granted official recognition to Palestine as a state and Bibi did not want any photos of him shaking hands with the lot. Israeli officials, speaking to the Hebrew press, continue to insist that there will never be a Palestinian state.Continue readingSCAN IT American travelers will be fingerprinted after flights as new ‘border’ law hitting 29 countries comes into forceby Chris Bradford ,AMERICANS heading to a raft of European destinations will have to comply with new border measures that are coming into force.And, it means travelers will be forced to have their fingerprints taken.This is because the European Union’s new Entry and Exit System has now come into effect – October 12.It affects travelers who are heading to 29 European countries for visits up to 90 days within a 180-day period.The new system monitors when non-EU citizens enter and leave the Schengen area.Travelers will scan their passports and have a photograph taken.The data is stored on a digital database.Travelers may have to answer basic questions about their journey.Not all EU countries are members of the Schengen agreement, and some countries that are in the Schengen zone are outside the EU.Continue readingNo amount of alcohol is safe, at least for dementia risk, study findsby Richard SimaFor years, the common wisdom and science was that a little bit of alcohol wasn’t bad — and even beneficial — for your health: A toast to moderation.But new research published in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine suggests that even light alcohol consumption can increase dementia risk.he finding comes from data of more than 550,000 adults ages 56 to 72, as well as genetics information from 2.4 million study participants. It adds to evidence that even small amounts of alcohol can be harmful to our health, including increasing the risk of cancer or disrupting sleep.Excessive alcohol consumption — more than 12 drinks per week — and alcohol use disorder have long been linked to dementia, an umbrella term for different types of progressive cognitive impairment, including Alzheimer’s disease.Continue readingFULL TEXT of the Henry Ford Health Care “Inconvenient Study”: Impact of Childhood Vaccination on Short and Long-Term Chronic Health Outcomes in Children: A Birth Cohort StudyImpact of Childhood Vaccination on Short and Long-Term Chronic Health Outcomes in Children:A Birth Cohort StudyLois Lamerato, PhD¹, Abigail Chatfield, MS¹, Amy Tang, PhD¹, Marcus Zervos, MD²˒³Continue readingGeofenced for Jesus? – Israeli Propaganda Campaign Targets US Churchesby Reinette SenumI’ve always said there was a reason Jesus was a storyteller, because he understood the power of story. And right now, we’re witnessing the perfect demonstration of this ancient truth playing out in real-time across America’s evangelical churches, where foreign operatives are infiltrating the most sacred spaces in our communities, not to deliver souls, but to deliver propaganda.Following my recent piece about Netanyahu handsomely paying American influencers thousands of dollars per post to flood social media with pro-Israel content, we now have the smoking gun evidence that this information war was officially launched on September 26th, 2025, just two weeks after Charlie Kirk’s assassination that landed him in what I suspect is a witness protection or worse, his grave. Not only did the state of Israel geo-tag everyone who attended Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, but they’ve now infiltrated America’s churches to begin psychological propaganda warfare against congregations who are simply trying to get closer to God and find inspiration in their faith.Continue readingThe Los Angeles Metro: Unacceptable Crime, High Costs, and Unnecessary ExpansionsBy Baruch FeigenbaumAs the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA), or LA Metro, reaches its thirty-two-year anniversary, this investigation of the organization’s operations has found that Los Angeles is served by a dangerous and costly public transportation system. For those reasons, Independent Institute is awarding LA Metro the eighteenth California Golden Fleece© Award, a dishonor given to California’s state or local agencies or government projects that swindle taxpayers or break the public trust. This report offers key recommendations for upgrading LA Metro’s service delivery.LA Metro’s mission is to “provide high-quality mobility options that enable people to spend less time traveling” and to “enhance communities and lives through mobility and access to opportunity.”[1] Based on those measures, the transportation system fails. LA Metro performs poorly in even the most basic areas, including safety, cleanliness, and service quality. Every transit agency must be minimally proficient in each of these areas. It is also financially reckless, allocating billions of dollars in countywide taxes to build unneeded rail lines and to mismanage its existing system. LA Metro should not be permitted to continue status quo operations. A detailed accounting of its problems demonstrates the need for fundamental reforms to the system.Continue readingThe BritCard Psyop: What Is True Digital ID in the UK?by Iain DavisThe proposed rollout of the so-called BritCard is a bait-and-switch psychological operation (psyop). The evident purpose is to frame the debate about digital ID in the UK by fundamentally misrepresenting what digital ID is.People often say “if you don’t have anything to hide what’s the problem?” There is no rational argument for allowing people you don’t know and have never met to have any power to control your life. The “nothing to hide” mantra is based on the historically illiterate assumption that you will never have anything to fear from authority. To offer this argument as a reason to adopt digital ID is so naive we might call it stupid.Of course, the likes of Trilateralist Starmer and Larry Ellison’s buddy Tony Blair will be delighted if we agree to a BritCard or a similar single, government issued identity app. But the whole point of arguing for and against the adoption of the mythical BritCard is to lead people to believe that if they reject the BritCard they will have defeated digital ID. And that is simply not true.Continue readingThe UK “Government” Can Now Take Money Directly from Your Account: What You Need to KnowBy g.calderHMRC, the UK government tax department, can now tell your bank to send them money from your account – without your knowledge – if they believe you owe them. This new power means they can directly access funds held in current accounts, savings, and cash ISAs. What’s worse is that this process will be automated and appeals will only be possible after the transfer is made. HMRC has a shocking track record of customer service, and its processes are infamously riddled with errors – so what happens when they wrongly take thousands from you because of their broken system? Is it even your money anymore?The mechanism, known as the Direct Recovery of Debts (DRD) was legislated after 2014-2015 consultation. It was paused due to backlash and kept quiet through the Covid years, but has just resurfaced once again.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsMises Institute Supporters Summit 2025 – October 16th-18th, 2025 -Wise Traditions Conference – The 25th Annual Weston Price Foundation Conference – Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, 17-19 October 2025Resist Digital IDs – Mass Non-Compliance Protest – Saturday, October 18th – 1:00 PM – Central LondonSDFA / CFA – LIVESTREAM, Saturday, October 18th, 2025Free Cities Conference: Returning to Prague – October 31st to November 2nd, 2025 – EventCHD 2025 Conference – November 7th-9th – Austin, TXFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineBitchill is a week-long retreat in Próspera, Roatán, taking place November 18–25, designed for Bitcoiners, entrepreneurs, and free spirits who value freedom and community.

The project aims to be one of the most ambitious development and sustainability projects in the Caribbean, with planned investment running into the billions of U.S. dollars. Destiny is led by entrepreneur and early crypto adopter Olivier Janssens, a major investor in X, SpaceX, and Tesla. Early indications suggest that the zone will have a high degree of autonomy and will be operated by a for-profit, commercial entity. Profits from the venture will be shared with the people of Nevis — including 10% to the government, 10% to the island’s sovereign wealth fund, and a direct 5% distribution to Nevisian citizens. Destiny is expected to have a strong focus on green spaces and emphasize harmony with the natural environment. The project will feature low-rise architecture, tree-lined neighborhoods, and open parks, creating a safe, family-oriented environment designed to attract residents, entrepreneurs, and visitors alike. We encourage you to visit the Destiny website and view Olivier’s introductory video to find out more. This will certainly be a project to watch!

PLUS… The Fake Left-Right Paradigm – What is the REAL Political Spectrum the Monopoly Media is Hiding?Dear Subscribers,My apologies for getting Five Meme Friday out late… Julie and I drove to my other hometown Fort Worth, Texas this weekend for my high school reunion. I think part of the reason that I have the courage to fight they organized crime “government,” when many don’t, is that I grew up among REAL cowboys in Fort Worth, Texas. The largest sports team at my high school was the rodeo team and Taylor Sheridan, of Yellowstone fame, was a high school buddy… We caught the Texas State Fair and the Texas-OU game, the biggest rivalry in college sports (Fun Fact I learned at the Game: Bevo, the UT Longhorn, poops and pees in an OU bucket!) and I took Julie to the Fort Worth Stockyards to better understand the cowboy culture of a town famous as the #1 destination for trail rides where the cowboys would (and still do) hit the bars, brothels, and honky tonks after being on trail for weeks at a time. It was cool to see my old friends and it is always heartening to find out that many of them are appreciative of my work exposing the organized crime “government” and monopoly media! The big story this week is a new article I wrote exposing the fake left-right paradigm and WHY organized crime’s monopoly media lies about and hides the REAL political spectrum. I have some e-mails out to folks to create other versions for other countries where we take out the Democrats, Republicans, RINOs, and Tea Party and replace them with Labor and Tories, and/or the specifics of each country. If you are in another country and your organized crime media is running the same scam, then e-mail me the specifics for your country to Ev******@**********ty.orgThis gets swapped out for a 13th man bucket when they play Texas A&M (Sorry Craig… I couldn’t resist ;-)Check out Hegseth wearing the completely indoctrinated religion of Statism that we expose in my new book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many – Do you think he is an indoctrinated “true believer” OR is he “running game” on the population? Top Stories of the WeekThe Fake Left-Right Paradigm – What is the REAL Political Spectrum the Monopoly Media is Hiding?If you were to listen to any of the major news networks, political shows, political commentators or state university college professors, the American political spectrum is a continuum with Communism on the far left, then Socialism as you move to the right, then what the news calls “Liberals” or “Progressives.”Then… “Moderates” in the middle…As you move to the right of the middle… There are “Conservatives”, “Libertarians” and “Fascists” on the far right.This is obviously completely false because libertarians have nothing to do with fascism, and fascism is not representative of a desire for more personal and economic freedom that the jump from conservatism to libertarianism represents…So what is the REAL political spectrum in the US… AND… Why does the monopoly media and monopoly academia misrepresent the political spectrum?Continue Reading and Check Out Even More Visualizations of the REAL SpectrumVideos of the WeekLowkey: Gaza Ceasefire EXPOSED: How Israel Lost The WorldEveryone’s favorite conscious artists and political commentator Lowkey breaks down the scam of Trump’s Gaza Ceasefire (That Isra-hell is already violating).

The case highlights a growing trend: organs being harvested from euthanasia victims.A report from The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and The Ottawa Hospital detailed the procedure. “Here we report the first case of successful cardiac transplantation after MAiD,” the medical team wrote. And, more ominously: “Provision of MAiD and death determination occurred in keeping with Canadian standards. Death was declared within seven minutes of initiating the MAiD protocol.”The Canadian was suffering from ALS (or Lou Gehrig’s disease), and had indicated his desire to donate his organs, but this is a “landmark case of a heart transplant following euthanasia.” According to the National Post: “The dead donor’s heart was removed, attached to a special machine that ‘reanimates’ or restarts the heart to keep blood flowing through the organs while keeping them warm, and then transported to Pittsburgh, where the transplant took place.”Continue readingHouse of South Carolina Judge Criticized by Trump Administration Burns Downby Miranda JeyaretnamPolice are investigating the cause of a fire that burned down the home of South Carolina Circuit Court judge Diane Goodstein, who had reportedly received death threats for weeks related to her work.State law enforcement is investigating the house fire on Edisto Beach, which began at around 11:30 a.m. E.T. on Saturday, sources told local news outlet FITSNews. Goodstein was reportedly not at home at the time of the fire, but at least three members of her family, including her husband, former Democratic state senator Arnold Goodstein, and their son, have been hospitalized with serious injuries.According to the St. Paul’s Fire District, which responded to the scene, the occupants had to be rescued via kayak. Law enforcement has not disclosed whether the fire is being investigated as an arson attack.Continue readingBlackRock & Blackstone Are Buying Local Power Companiesby Paul DraguGlobalist equity firms are scooping up local energy companies across the country — and it looks like they’re just getting started. The official reason is to invest in America’s artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.The buyouts are already triggering pushback and anxiety at the local level. The Associated Press recently reported that “private equity giants like BlackRock and Blackstone are buying local utilities to power AI-driven data centers, sparking ratepayer and regulator concerns.”Worries about rising power bills have been mounting in tandem with the buildup of AI data centers around the country. Earlier this year, the AP reported:Rising power bills are “something legislators have been hearing a lot about. … More people are speaking out at the public utility commission in the past year than I’ve ever seen before,” said Charlotte Shuff of the Oregon Citizens’ Utility Board, a consumer advocacy group. “There’s a massive outcry.Continue reading‘Military-Style’ ICE Raid On Chicago Apartment Building Shows Escalation in Trump’s CrackdownEtienne Note: This is the standing army the so-called “Founding Fathers” warned us about and simultaneously stuck us with….by Crime, News, dnyuz.comAt around 1 a.m. on Tuesday morning, armed federal agents rappelled from helicopters onto the roof of a five-storey residential apartment in the South Shore of Chicago, according to witnesses and local reporting. As they worked their way through the building, they kicked down doors, threw flash bang grenades, and rounded up adults and screaming children alike, detaining them in zip-ties and arresting dozens, they said.The military-style raid was part of a widespread immigration crackdown in the country’s third-largest city as part of the Trump Administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz,” which has brought a dramatic increase in federal raids and arrests.Continue readingThe Great Alzheimer’s Scam and The Proven Cures They’ve Buried for Billionsby A Midwestern Doctor• Alzheimer’s disease is commonly thought to result from abnormal plaque buildup in the brain that gradually destroys brain tissue. As a result, almost all Alzheimer’s research has been directed toward eliminating amyloid, even after the basis for much of this work was shown to stem from fraudulent research.•As such, despite decades of research and billions of dollars spent, this model has completely failed to produce useful results. The costly “groundbreaking” Alzheimer’s drugs only slightly slow dementia progression—at the expense of causing brain bleeding and swelling in over a quarter of those treated.Continue readingBibi has been Giving Money to Hamas. An Insidious Intelligence OperationBy Prof Michel ChossudovskyConfirmed by Israeli media. “Not Fake News”. Bibi has been giving money to Hamas“Hamas was treated as a partner to the detriment of the Palestinian Authority to prevent Abbas from moving towards creating a Palestinian State. Hamas was promoted from a terrorist group to an organization with which Israel conducted negotiations through Egypt, and which was allowed to receive suitcases containing millions of dollars from Qatar through the Gaza crossings.” (Times of Israel October 8, 2023, emphasis added)According to Netanyahu:“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” he [Netanyahu] told a meeting of his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. “This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.” (Haaretz, October 9, 2023, emphasis added)Continue readingUS warned about possible attack on its embassy in Caracas, Venezuela saysBy Reuters, investing.comCARACAS (Reuters) -Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro said on Monday his government had warned Washington of a “false flag operation” by “extremist sectors of the local Venezuelan right” to plant explosives at the U.S. Embassy in Caracas.A false flag operation is when an act is carried out in such a way that a different party appears responsible.The White House and State Department did not immediately reply to requests for comment.Venezuela’s National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez originally reported the plot on Sunday in a message on his Telegram account, saying that the alleged plans had been reported to the United States through three different channels.He added that a European embassy was also alerted about the plans but did not specify which one. Venezuela severed relations with the United States in 2019, and U.S. diplomatic personnel left the headquarters that year.Continue readingTether Expands Hard Asset Strategy with More Bitcoin, Gold, and Landby Will IzuchukwuTether has purchased another 8,888 BTC, increasing its total on-chain holdings to 86,335 BTC. At current prices, that’s worth over $9.7 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.The company, however, claims its real stash is much larger. Tether reports holding over 100,000 BTC along with 50 tons of gold. It has also committed 15,000 BTC into Bitcoin XXI, a treasury management firm focused on Bitcoin strategies.This steady accumulation shows how Tether is doubling down on Bitcoin as a reserve asset. While most stablecoin issuers remain tied to U.S. Treasuries, Tether is openly diversifying into scarce digital and physical stores of value.Beyond Bitcoin, Tether has been moving aggressively into traditional hard assets. The company owns 70% of Adecoagro, a major agricultural group in South America.Continue readingWhy Libertarians, Conservatives, and Anarchists Should Get Alongby Christopher Cook[ Part 1 | Part 2 ]How many political ideologies have there been over the last 150 years?In all likelihood, a series of familiar words has begun flashing through your head. Communism. Fascism. Socialism. Conservatism. Libertarianism.Perhaps you drilled down a little further: Democratic socialism. Progressivism (America) and social democracy (Europe). Paleo-conservative, social conservative, fiscal conservative.Maybe you can describe some of the differences between Italian fascism and German Nazism, or between Marxism-Leninism and Maoism.Maybe you can list every single flavor of the libertarian rainbow, from most to least austere: Anarchist, minarchist, Objectivist, Public Choice School, Austrian (Misesian), Austrian (Hayekian), Chicago School…And so on.Every one of these ideological categories can be further subdivided, and there are plenty of others I didn’t mention. But what if I told you that at one level of analysis, there aren’t dozens of ideologies, but only two?Continue readingAmazon’s Ring Adds Facial Recognition to Home SecurityEtienne Note: Please see our article: Is Amazon A Mason?

It was Kelly who first warned me in the 1990s about the drugging of our children. I remember sitting at Kelly’s dining room table and showing her how to calculate how much the large cap pharma stocks went up in value for each child they got on the “Ritalin treadmill.”Continue readingOSHA Admits It Told Healthcare Employers Not to Report COVID Vaccine Injuriesby Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.The federal agency that oversees workplace safety exempted healthcare employers from reporting workers’ adverse reactions to mandated COVID-19 vaccines, according to a healthcare industry whistleblower who alerted The DefenderThe Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued the directive on June 28, 2021, to encourage vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic.The directive also stated that OSHA, a division of the U.S. Department of Labor, would not track workers’ COVID-19 vaccine adverse events — even though it acknowledged that the vaccines may cause injuries that would require employees to take time off work.OSHA continued to track reactions to other vaccines.A Labor Department official confirmed for The Defender that OSHA didn’t track COVID-19 vaccine injuries, and said those policies remained in place until February 2025.Continue readingRanked: The Top 50 Countries by Central Bank ReservesBy Marcus LuCentral bank reserves are considered critical for global economic stability, helping countries meet balance of payments obligations and buffer against economic or geopolitical shocksThe top 10 countries collectively hold $9.4 trillion in currency and gold reserves, accounting for over 60% of the global totalCentral bank reserves can be considered as a country’s financial shield, consisting of foreign currencies, gold, and other liquid assets. These reserves play an important role in stabilizing currencies and navigating financial crises.In this graphic, we visualize the 50 countries with the most central bank reserves, providing insight into the balance of global finances.The data for this visualization comes from The World Factbook. It compares the value of reserves (foreign exchange and gold) held by the world’s central banks as of 2024.Continue readingALL VACCINES Are WORTHLESS POISONS — Dr. Mike YeadonBy gregwyatt.comFormer Pfizer VP Michael Yeadon: “If you inject tiny doses of foreign protein into a person separated by two weeks, they become violently and permanently allergic to that substance.”“These diabolical people have included components in all jabs that your children have been given and you may have received so they sensitize you to every single basic food item.”Former Pfizer VP Michael Yeadon describes during an interview with Oracle Films posted to Rumble on July 3, 2025 research conducted by retired pharma R&D executive Sasha Latypova and writer and paralegal Katherine Watt that reveals why **all “vaccines”** are nothing more than poisons.As it turns out, “vaccines” do exactly the opposite of what it’s claimed they do—instead of preparing one’s immune system to fight off a specific pathogen, they sensitize a person to whatever’s been injected, priming them to have an anaphylactic reaction if they have a subsequent encounter with the injected material. Even if the injected material is normally benign—e.g., whey protein or peanut oil.Continue readingWaste of the Day: Corrections Earn Overtime, Vacation in One DayEtienne Note: Another example of organized crime “government,” this time at the State level in Illinois, completely robbing the population they are allegedly “serving.”By Jeremy Portnoy, RealClearInvestigationsTopline: Overtime pay is meant for employees working more than eight hours per day, but the Illinois Department of Corrections has found a way to circumvent that rule. Employees are using paid time off to stay home during work hours and then coming in later the same day to work overtime, according to a report from the state auditor released on Sept. 23.Key facts: Employees are more than happy to gain extra overtime hours and earn 1.5 times their regular salary, but the practice of “shift swapping” violates the Department of Corrections’ training manual, in the opinion of the state auditor. The department gets billed for overtime twice: first to pay an officer to cover for the employee on paid leave, and then again when the employee on leave returns later in the day.Continue readingMusk Says “Far More Than $100 Million” US Taxpayer Funds Funneled Into NGOs Fueling Chaos; Trump Briefed On Dark-Money NetworksBy Tyler DurdenUpdate (1010ET): Let’s recap what unfolded during Wednesday afternoon’s Antifa roundtable at the White House, hosted by President Trump.Several journalists shared firsthand accounts of being attacked by Antifa activists, but the real fireworks came from Seamus Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, who briefed the president and his cabinet on a complex network of dark-money NGOs and activist groups fueling unrest nationwide via the permanent protest-industrial complex.“We have identified dozens of radical organizations, not just the decentralized Antifa organizations, but dozens of radical organizations that have received more than $100 million from the Riot Inc investors,” Bruner told Trump.Elon Musk chimed in on X, commenting on a video featuring Bruner’s public briefing to the president about the dark-money NGOs, saying, “Way more than $100M of US taxpayer money.“Continue readingPublic Enemies: Government Bureaucrats as Societal ParasitesBy Thomas DiLorenzoThis article is adapted from DiLorenzo’s lecture at the Our Enemy, the Bureaucracy Mises Circle in Phoenix on Saturday, April 26.Economists have been studying and writing about government bureaucracy for quite a long time. Ludwig von Mises became the first “modern” economist to write a book on the subject with his 1944 Bureaucracy. The public choice school of economics, founded by James Buchanan and Gordon Tullock, among others, has produced a huge literature on the economics of bureaucracy, much of which is complementary to Mises’s pathbreaking work.This literature has produced many easy-to-understand insights about the essence of governmental bureaucratic behavior. For one thing, it is vastly different from decision-making in the marketplace. In the market people voluntarily “vote” with their dollars to express their preferences. There is a market feedback mechanism whereby if one pleases his customers he prospers, if one displeases his customers he fails. In government, by contrast, we are basically told: You need this, this, this, this, and this, and if you do not pay for it, we will make you live like a dog in a cage for several years. That’s called being sentenced to prison for tax evasion. There is nothing voluntary about it.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsMises Institute Supporters Summit 2025 – October 16th-18th, 2025 – Wise Traditions Conference – The 25th Annual Weston Price Foundation Conference – Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, 17-19 October 2025Resist Digital IDs – Mass Non-Compliance Protest – Saturday, October 18th – 1:00 PM – Central LondonSDFA / CFA – LIVESTREAM, Saturday, October 18th, 2025Free Cities Conference: Returning to Prague – October 31st to November 2nd, 2025 – EventCHD 2025 Conference – November 7th-9th – Austin, TXFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineDubFX, Woodnote, and Grant “Prezence” Ellman are going to be touring Europe Sept-December.

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

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

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

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

THE SILENT COLD RAGE AT QUANTICOSometimes a photo says it better than words. The event at Quantico Virginia will go down in history, but not the way Trump and Hegseth expect. The Military at Quantico silently but clearly reacted to this unprecedented event. But not in the way Trump wanted or expected. For Trump it was, in Churchill’s immortal words,“Not the end, it’s not even the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning.”What the Trump Administration faced this morning was two words: COLD REJECTION. Rejection of the Trump Administration to lead the Commanders of the United States Military into the future of 21st Century warfare .The Military may salute them, the military may follow precise written legal orders, but the Military will not follow them into their retreat from the modern world, contracting into the Western Hemisphere like shriveling bullies afraid of the modern world and focus on “reestablishing order” in American cities. It’s quite preposterous.Continue readingObama-Era Mojave Desert Solar Plant Once Hailed As A Marvel Will Close As A Glowing Relicby Tyler DurdenAuthored by Beige Luciano-Adams via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),LOS ANGELES—It is a familiar sight for revelers traveling Interstate 15 from Southern California to Las Vegas: In the final stretches of the Californian Mojave Desert, just before the Nevada border, there is little else interrupting the vast, Martian expanse aside from a near-abandoned border town and this glittering relic of California’s renewable energy boom.A little more than a decade ago, the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System opened to great fanfare, with a $1.6 billion loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)—part of the Obama administration’s push to install green energy production on public lands—and a promise to help California meet its increasingly ambitious decarbonization goals.Continue readingNew Breakthrough Could Bring Holograms to Your Smart Phone and into Daily TasksBy Andy CorbleyUntil now, holograms have been created using lasers, but now researchers have used a new ensemble of components that could unleash this technology on the market.With their ubiquity in science fiction, and carrying the potential to transform smart devices, communication, gaming, and entertainment, holograms would be a major technological advancement, if we could find an easier way of projecting them.A team at the University of St. Andrews have found that ‘Holographic Metasurfaces’ (HMs) and Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) give a simpler and more compact approach that is potentially cheaper and easier to apply, overcoming the main barriers to hologram technology being used more widely.Organic light-emitting diodes are thin film devices widely used to make the colored pixels in mobile phone displays and some TVs. As a flat and surface-emitting light source, OLEDs are also used in emerging applications such as optical wireless communications, biophotonics, and sensing, where the ability to integrate with other technologies makes them good candidates to realize miniaturized light-based platforms.Continue readingAll COVID Vaccines Increase Cancer Risk, New Study Concludesby Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.This article was originally published by The Defender — Children’s Health Defense’s News & Views Website.COVID-19 vaccines and boosters — both mRNA and non-mRNA — pose an increased risk of six types of cancer and a 27% higher risk of cancer overall, according to a recent South Korean study of over 8 million people.Four South Korean researchers published the report last week as a letter in Biomarker Research, a Springer Nature journal.According to the study, COVID-19 vaccines and boosters are associated with a higher risk of breast, colorectal, gastric, lung, prostate and thyroid cancer, across all vaccine types and age groups.Mainstream medical commentators were quick to dismiss the findings, with MedPageToday describing it as “flawed.” But other medical and scientific experts disagreed.Continue readingIs Substack a Censored Platform?Etienne Note: I am starting to think we were bait-and-switched into Substack where they let our content be shared organically at first to get us on the platform and then began turning up the shadow-banning and censorship: My evidence: 1. We had Substack unsubscribe one of our subscription accounts from receiving e-mails… The account was still technically subscribed BUT the e-mails were turned off. How many of our other subscribers has that happened to as well? Substack plays the same game as Fedbook where in your Substack feed they will tempt you with articles from folks you have NOT subscribed to… Are they trying to move folks to controlled opposition accounts, AI-generated accounts, or time-wasters? I have seen other Substack authors complain about Substack actually changing the e-mail addresses of their subscribers so the account stays subscribed BUT the e-mails are going to a completely different email address… I knew I should have saved that story when it came by… Finally, our growth rate on Substack has stalled and our revenue is not trending down when it was going parabolic… Please consider “Going Paid” since freedom isn’t free!Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsMises Institute Supporters Summit 2025 – October 16th-18th, 2025 – Even’s LibertyWise Traditions Conference – The 25th Annual Weston Price Foundation Conference – Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, 17-19 October 2025Healing Beyond COVID: Vaccine-Induced Cancers & Immune Disorders“ – Saturday, September 27, 2025 – Grand Oaks ResortFree State Bitcoin – DIGITAL ASSETS CONFERENCE – Save the date: October 12th, 2025 at Wentworth by the Sea, NH!Resist Digital IDs – Mass Non-Compliance Protest – Saturday, October 18th – 1:00 PM – Central LondonFree Cities Conference: Returning to Prague – October 31st to November 2nd, 2025 – EventCHD 2025 Conference – November 7th-9th – Austin, TXFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineThe People’s Reset Conference – January 28th-February1st 2026 – Morelia, MXEarly bird ends August 31st!

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

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

His research illuminates the hidden impacts of mRNA technology, particularly on fertility and broader health, empowering individuals to question and act. Nic’s dedication resonates with The Truth Contract’s ethos, grounded in peer-reviewed evidence, he invites us to unite, challenge the status quo, and reclaim agency over our well-being.continue reading…Water is Lifeby Greg ReeseHydrogen bonding is what makes water very unique. It is the force of attraction between the partially positive hydrogen atom of one water molecule and the partially negative oxygen atom of another. When it’s within the temperature range of liquid water, the bonds are constantly breaking and reforming. As it freezes, each water molecule forms four hydrogen bonds and a crystalline structure is created that is less dense than liquid, allowing it the ability to float and insulate the liquid water beneath it. And when heated into vapor, there are no hydrogen bonds, until it begins to cool, and the hydrogen bonds return it to a liquid state.Continue reading…Dr. Sam Bailey Interviews Sally Fallon-Morell, Founder of the Weston Price Foundationby Dr Sam BaileyFrom October the 17th to 19th, 2025 Drs Mark and Sam Bailey will be giving a number of live talks at the Wise Traditions Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.

European leaders have in recent months repeatedly accused Tehran of refusing to abide by the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action’s terms. A core, repeated claim is the Islamic Republic has collated a uranium stock over 40 times the level permitted under that deal. No supporting evidence for the charge has been provided, and the source of this information isn’t clear.Continue reading“Daily News of The Week”Of Two Minds – The Moral Decay of Debtbyoftwominds.comDebt has moral implications, and in denying this, we’re choosing a rendezvous with NemesisLet’s start with a household analogy. A married couple have four fine children, and since expenses are higher than income, they borrow money in their children’s names to fund their lifestyle and investments. Once the offspring reach 18 years of age, the debt their parents borrowed is theirs to service.The offspring didn’t get a say in how much money was borrowed or how it was spent, but the debt is now theirs to service (i.e. pay the interest) for their entire lifetimes, as the debt is simply too large to pay off with conventional wages.The economy changed, and since wages don’t go as far and costs keep rising, the four offspring borrow in their own children’s names to afford the basics of a middle-class life.The parents are now comfortably retired, drawing on their investments bought with borrowed money. The two generations behind them are now debt-serfs who funded their own lifestyles by borrowing even more money. Since the kind of house their parents bought for 3-times-income is now 6-times-income, the debt required to own a house and fund what is considered the minimum middle-class entitlements is multiples of their parents’ borrowing.Is anyone willing to call this offloading of ever-expanding debt onto future generations wrong, as in morally wrong, or have we lost the vocabulary and ability to declare the offloading of debt as morally disgraceful, a line that should never have been crossed?Continue readingSocial Security retirement age could jump as White House considers optionsBy Daniel MilleA potential increase to the retirement age is under consideration by the Trump administration.Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano addressed the matter during a FOX News interview, explaining that many options are being considered.The move is being discussed in part to keep Social Security from reaching insolvency.The Trump administration is reportedly considering many options to avoid Social Security insolvency, which includes raising the retirement age.When asked if he would consider raising the retirement age during a FOX News interview on Thursday, Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank Bisignano said, “I think everything’s being considered, will be considered.”Why you should care:FOX Business, citing Social Security Administration data, reported that Social Security’s two main trust funds, the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and Disability Insurance (DI) funds, are projected to reach insolvency by 2034.Continue readingNo More Masked ICE In LA; Gov. Newsom Signs ‘No Secret Police’ Act In Latest MAGA Rebuke: “Kristi Noem Is Going To Have A Bad Day Today”By Dominic Patten“Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today,” exclaimed Gavin Newsom‘s press office X feed this morning, calling out the South Park–parodied Homeland Security Secretary by name. “You’re welcome, America.”The taunting post came just a few hours before the California Governor Saturday put pen to paper on Senate Bills 627, a.k.a. the “No Secret Police Act” and 805 a.k.a The “No Vigilantes Act” in a public ceremony in LA.“ICE, unmask, what are you afraid of?” said Gov. Newsom in Sat, surrounded by Mayor Karen Bass, LA County Supervisor (and ex-Labor Secretary) Hilda Solis, LASUD Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho and others. “This is not about the pronoun police, this is about the secret police,” Newsom added, quoting The Daily Show‘s Jon Stewart.Among the dangers of the newly enlarged ICE is that they are becoming a private police force, the term limited Newson stated, “that it appears to many of us have sworn an oath to Donald Trump, not the Constitution …this is not America.”Continue readingThe science of slumber: How sleep became the ultimate anti-aging treatmentby Willow TohiFor generations, “beauty sleep” was dismissed as a folk tale, a quaint notion with no basis in biology. But a convergence of clinical research from dermatology and sleep medicine is now revealing a profound truth: the path to radiant, youthful skin is paved with consistent, quality rest. Groundbreaking studies are moving beyond anecdotal evidence, providing scientific validation that sleep is not a passive state but an active, essential repair session for the body’s largest organ—the skin. This new understanding positions sleep as a non-negotiable component of skincare, on par with diet and sun protection, and challenges a culture that often prizes productivity over rest.Continue readingMilei Admits “The Market Is In Panic Mode” As Argentine Capital Exodus Acceleratesby Tyler DurdenFollowing his government’s resounding loss in local elections – seen as a harbinger of next month’s congressional races – Argentine President Milei is facing a renewed crisis as the embattled South American country’s currency is collapsing amid fears that he will scrap his defense of the peso (which has already cost hundreds of millions of dollars) and let it plunge as so many of his predecessors have done.“The market,” Milei said when collared by a local journalist for a brief interview late Friday, is “in panic mode.”In a desperate attempt to satisfy demand for hard currency and prevent the peso from cratering, the three-day intervention figure rose to $1.1 billion, a staggering amount in a country that, by economists’ best estimates, has less than $20 billion in liquid foreign reserves.Continue readingMaking Standard Time Permanent Will Be Healthier for Americans: Studyby Naveen AthrappullyAdopting a permanent standard time in the United States rather than changing times biannually is a healthier option for Americans, according to a Sept. 15 peer-reviewed study published in the PNAS journal.“Seasonal changes in time policy, such as switching between Standard Time (SDT) and Daylight Saving Time (DST), have been adopted by many countries, including the United States,” the study’s authors from Stanford University said. “While transitioning between SDT and DST has notable acute negative population health impacts, the chronic impact of these time policies on health has not been well evaluated.”Researchers looked at how SDT, DST, and biannual shifting between these two time setups affect people’s circadian rhythms and health. Circadian rhythm is a person’s innate 24-hour clock that regulates several physiological processes in their body.Continue readingIngenious space-saving Tiny Workshop named 2025 Shed of the YearBy Adam WilliamsThe Cuprinol Shed of the Year winner for 2025 has been announced. London’s Mike Robinson has won with his ingenious space-saving Tiny Workshop, which showcases an inspired use of shelving and spare parts.Described as small but mighty by Shed of the Year founder Andrew Wilcox, the Tiny Workshop was conceived when Robinson couldn’t find a shed that perfectly matched his small garden plot. Deciding to improvise, he bolted together two sets of heavy duty steel shelving units and went from there.The shed measures 3 x 1 x 2.4 m (9.10 x 3.3 x 7.10 ft). Two doors open at the bottom and top to provide flooring and rain protection, while the interior has been fitted with shelving and drawers, as well as a place to sit and enjoy the space.Inside, its workbench and tool walls are made from birch plywood offcuts and there’s also indirect LED lighting installed. Looking to the future, a newly planted green roof will continue to grow and cover it with greenery.Continue readingDavid Friedman’s Economics Jokesby David FriedmanI have a small collection of economics jokes, not jokes about economics but jokes that teach economics. Here are all of them:1. Two economists walked past a Porsche showroom with an elegant sports car visible through the window:First Economist: “I really want that car.”Second Economist: “Obviously not.”2. An economist and a businessman were walking in the wood when they encountered a large and hungry bear. The economist turned to run.Businessman: “You don’t think you can outrun a bear, do you?”(Contributed by Dennis Hanseman, editor of my Price Theory)3. What is sweeter than honey?Free vinegar.(From a Middle Eastern cookbook by Claudia Roden)4. An economics professor is in a car driven by one of his students; she asks him to put on his seat belt.“Why do you want me to put on my seat belt?”“To make it less likely that you will be injured in an accident.”“Then why don’t you take yours off?”Continue readingWhat Happens When You Can’t Explain the Lack of an Exit Wound?by Anthony ColpoThe guy pictured above is Andrew Kolvet. His X bio says he is “Christian. Proud husband and father. TPUSA Spokesman. Executive Producer of The Charlie Kirk Show. Son of Nevada. American.”Sure.I don’t know Andrew personally, but I can tell you one thing with certainty:He is one of the worst liars I’ve ever come across.Get a load of what he posted on X today:Well, that explains everything, then.Our unnamed physician – let’s call him Dr Doolittle – has finally solved the exit wound mystery using impeccable scientific rigor.Okay, so he’s a bumbling idiot who missed a large bullet even though it was “just beneath the skin” the whole time.Not to worry, the coroner got it in the end.The brilliant Dr Doolittle was pondering the intractable mystery of how a .30-06 can effortlessly leave exit wounds in much larger game animals, but not a pencil-necked human.Continue readingTrump and RFK Jr.’s Warning about Tylenol and Autismby Joseph HickeyUS President Donald Trump and Health Secretary RFK Jr. announced yesterday that the US Food and Drug Agency (FDA) would begin warning pregnant women of potential health risks from taking Tylenol (acetaminophen), including the possibility that exposing the fetus to the drug could increase the risk of autism.Mainstream media sources were typically over-the-top apoplectic in response, painting Trump and Kennedy as irresponsible threats to public health.However, such knee-jerk opposition to the warning-label update for Tylenol is not warranted, given that there is evidence in the scientific literature providing cause for concern about possible negative neurodevelopmental effects of Tylenol.For example:Ji et al., “Association of Cord Plasma Biomarkers of In Utero Acetaminophen Exposure With Risk of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder in Childhood”, JAMA Psychiatry (2020):Continue readingImagine There Was A Violent Cult Committing Atrocities With ImpunityEtienne Note: Israel is both a religious cult that was given a “State” where the same inter-generational organized crime system (bankers/central bankers) is having the pseudo-religion of Statism indoctrinated into the population in the same way that it is being indoctrinated into the US population: Mandatory “government” schools, youth programs, military indoctrination, monopoly media and others. I think the ultra-religious of any stripe are more susceptible to indoctrinated Statism and getting chumped and tax-farmed.by Caitlin JohnstoneListen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):Imagine there was a violent cult that used scriptures from an ancient religion to convince its followers to do evil things.Imagine the cult was given its own state.Imagine the cult was given machine guns, tanks and war planes.Continue readingEx-CIA Chief Gives Warm Welcome To Founder Of Syrian Al-Qaeda In New YorkEtienne Note: Al-Qaeda, the CIA’s puppet army, which was battling US force in Iraq so the military industrial complex could make billions, has now deposed the Syrian regime for the US and is welcomed with open arms by the same CIA chief and military commander that was, allegedly, battling him in Iraq. Reminds me of the famous quote from George Orwell’s 1984: “Actually, as Winston well knew, it was only four years since Oceania had been at war with Eastasia and in alliance with Eurasia. But that was merely a piece of furtive knowledge which he happened to possess because his memory was not satisfactorily under control. Officially the change of partners had never happened. Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible” – From 1984 by George Orwell which gave the world the word: DoubleThink to describe the acceptance of contrary opinions or beliefs at the same time, especially as a result of political indoctrinationContinue readingAnd Suddenly… The Robots AppearedBy: Gerrit De Vynck, Lisa Bonos via WPJensen Huang says, “The ChatGPT moment for general robotics is just around the corner.” Tesla’s Optimus robot is predicted to be the biggest product in history, topping over $1 trillion in the first few years. Venture capital is flowing into the robot space with over $5 billion invested in new startups since 2024. China has beat Tesla to market with a 4-foot-3, 77-pound humanoid that sells for $16,000. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.In an office park opposite an Amazon warehouse, the robots are at work.A trio of six-foot-tall machines with ostrichlike legs and two jointed arms work in shifts, walking off a charging rack to move boxes between two conveyor belts until it’s time to plug in again.This vision of the future of labor is a test station at the end of an assembly line for building humanoid robots designed to fill jobs in warehouses and auto plants. Human engineers nearby watch for mistakes as the machines are put through their paces.Continue readingBREAKING: White House Announces Tylenol–Autism Link, Opens Door to Vaccinesby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHToday the White House and HHS announced a potential link between prenatal acetaminophen (Tylenol) use and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), along with new actions to limit its use.In a MAJOR development, both Trump and RFK Jr. also acknowledged the possibility that vaccines contribute to autism. As Trump said:“They pump so much stuff into those beautiful little babies, it’s a disgrace.”This was not anticipated based on prior media coverage of this event — and it represents a massive win.Although most of the spotlight fell on Tylenol, the evidence is undeniable: acetaminophen is NOT the root cause. At most, it weakens defenses and heightens vulnerability. The true trigger — then and now — is VACCINES.The most comprehensive review to date, by Prada et al, evaluated acetaminophen use during pregnancy:Continue readingFrom WMDs to “Narco-States”: How the US Sells Wars the Intelligence Doesn’t Supportby Alan MacleodThe provocations increased last week, as the Navy entered Venezuelan waters, raiding a Venezuelan fishing boat and detaining its crew. And on Tuesday, the U.S. carried out a strike on another small vessel, killing at least three people. Trump justified the attack, claiming that after the attack, “big bags of cocaine and fentanyl” were “spattered all over the ocean.”Tren de Aragua has become something of an obsession for the Trump administration. On his first day in office in January, Trump designated the Venezuelan gang a “foreign terrorist organization,” claiming that they have sown “violence and terror” throughout the Western hemisphere, and “flooded the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals, and vicious gangs.”In March, he invoked the 1789 Alien Enemies Act to declare that the United States had been “invaded” by Tren de Aragua. And in August, he put a $50 million bounty on the head of President Maduro, claiming that he directed both Tren de Aragua and the Cartel de los Soles (the Cartel of the Suns). This, the announcement stated, made Maduro “one of the largest narco-traffickers in the world.”Continue readingInfiltration: A Cardinal Function of the Zionist Movementby David Millerhat is the function of the Zionist movement? Let’s start with four statements that together define what the Zionist movement does by adding its functions cumulatively.The Zionist movement creates and sustains the “Israel lobby” to extend its ideological and political reach, shaping both foreign and domestic policy in the countries where it operates. It provides material support for ethnic cleansing and genocide, funneling millions each year through charities that aid in land theft and war crimes. It grooms children and youth into ideological loyalists through a vast network of schools, synagogues, youth groups and settler recruitment programs, including Birthright tours, the Masa journey and the Lone Soldier Program. Beyond all this, the movement systematically dispatches its adherents into broader society as lifelong agents of Zionist ideology. This is not a metaphor. It is infiltration.Continue readingCharlie Kirk “MAGIC BULLET” FOUND!by Peggy HallHey friends, did you hear the news?The bullet has been found.The missing bullet that has never been entered into evidence, has never been shown on the news or even been reported by law enforcement has somehow turned up — lodged into the bullet of “Man of Steel” Charlie Kirk.I break it all down for you here:Now before some people get bent out of shape with my analysis here, let me state emphatically:I’m not after Charlie Kirk. I’m not after Erika Kirk.I am after the truth.And I am looking for clues and I am drawing conclusions based on what I see and the patterns that emerge, and how those patterns match up with these very curious connections with Freemasonry, Scientology, Mormonism and Hermeticism (which is also connected to the “Dawn of the Golden Age” — sound familiar?)I’ve already done several videos touching on these topics, which you can view in my Charlie Kirk Youtube playlist here.Continue readingThe Processed Meat Industry Uses Dirty Tactics to Further Its Goalsby Dr. Joseph MercolaSodium nitrite is a chemical that creates artificial pink coloring in processed meats.

It is also effective in treating prolonged seizures.In the US, it is used as part of a three-drug cocktail for lethal injections:midazolam, to sedate;vecuronium bromide, to paralyze the muscles;potassium chloride, to stop the heart.Midazolam is known as a high-risk drug that should be administered only while under close medical observation.The most serious side effect of midazolam is respiratory depression, which can lead to respiratory arrest if not properly managed.Associated Press last year reported at least 16 people died in California over a decade following a physical encounter with police during which medical personnel also injected them with a powerful sedative. Midazolam was given in 15 of the 16 California cases, all by paramedics outside of a hospital. As AP noted:Continue readingFirst Circuit Affirms The Conviction Of An Innocent Man: The Ian Freeman Case -Convicted for selling Bitcoinby The Free Thought Project(Jacob G. Hornberger) On July 29, 2025, a three-judge panel of the First Circuit federal Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the criminal convictions and incarceration of libertarian Bitcoin activist Ian Freeman, who I have steadfastly maintained is an innocent man who federal officials railroaded into an 8-year prison sentence, which he is now serving.Here are my articles about the Freeman case, which explain in detail why this man is innocent:A person who is convicted of a crime in a U.S. District Court has the right to appeal his conviction to the federal Court of Appeals in the circuit in which the District Court is situated. To do that, he must file a Notice of Appeal. He must then file an appellate brief stating what exactly are the legal rulings that the District Judge made that void the conviction or that require the case to be sent back for a new trial. He must cite legal authority (i.e., legal opinions from similar federal cases) to support each of his points. There is something important to note about the defendant’s appellate brief: If he fails to challenge a particular ruling of the District Judge, he waives the point. That is, it is gone forever. He cannot later raise it during oral arguments or at a later time.Continue readingTrump Shocks World With Major Ukrainian U-Turn (…Or Did He Fool Us All?)by SimpliciusAs I was writing the previous report, Trump had tweeted something which has nearly “broken the internet”—at least the Russo-Ukrainian political side of it. I figured it would be more fitting to do a quick separate article on the matter, given that it seemed immediately obvious to me what was happening, and required no further rumination.Yes, ol’ Devious Don has shocked the world with a new “180-degree turn” on Ukraine, as expressed in his latest diatribe-as-tweet. In it, the Donald suddenly reverses course to fully back Ukraine fighting on and retaking all of its ‘historic’ land from Russia to the 1991 borders and even beyond, as he implies Ukraine could perhaps even march on Moscow, taking cues from Yushchenko’s latest enlightened turn.Some even see this as a kind of major declaration of war against Russia, and proof that the US will now funnel every imaginable weapon, and do everything in its power to “defeat” Russia in this mother-of-all-proxies .Continue readingIf Socialists Actually Understood SocialismEtienne Note: I “value-added” this article with some Dank Liberty Memes from: The Liberator.by Mises Wire, Emric EgbertIn light of recent developments in New York City, specifically on the recent primary elections and the emergence of self-described democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as a potential mayoral candidate, as well as the increasingly aggressive public engagement of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in their tour around the United States, and the fact that AOC’s chances of becoming the 2028 Democratic presidential nominee have doubled within one week, it has become clear to me that socialist rhetoric is gaining momentum in American political discourse.This trend is further reflected in survey data from the Pew Research Center, which shows that approximately 36 percent of U.S. adults aged 18 to 29 now view socialism positively. In response to these developments, it is imperative to contribute to the proper education and clarification of what these socialists are actually advocating for, or even what true socialism truly advocates for.Continue readingWhy the Government Is So Loved by So Manyby Mises Wire•Ryan McMakenOne of the most memorable passages in the memoir of the escaped slave Frederick Douglass is where he describes how one group of slaves would argue with another group of slaves over whose master was richer or stronger. Exhibiting a mixture of Stockholm syndrome with delusions of grandeur, these slaves, according to Douglass, “seemed to think that the greatness of their masters was transferable to themselves.” Moreover, Douglass noted that the slaves tended to not judge the behavior of their masters by any set objective standards, but in comparison to other masters. Douglass himself, when a slave, had fallen into this mode of thinking, as recounted in this passage:Continue reading“I’m Not Afraid”: James Comey Fires Back After Indictmentby Tyler DurdenUpdate (2045ET):Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey has released a video statement in response to the indictments against him, saying, “I’m innocent… I’m not afraid… Let’s have a trial.”With just days to go until the statute of limitations ran out, disgraced former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on two of three counts sought by prosecutors – one count of making false statements and one count of obstruction of justice – just days after President Donald Trump issued a public demand for his Justice Department to act “now” to bring prosecutions against Comey.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsThe Network State Conference – October 3rd – SingaporeOmniwar Symposium – October 4, 2025, from 9am Eastern/ 2pm BST – Online- Please visit technocracy.news/digital to registerMises Institute Supporters Summit 2025 – October 16th-18th, 2025 – Even’s LibertySark Weekend – 25th-28th September 2025Free State Bitcoin – DIGITAL ASSETS CONFERENCE – Save the date: October 12th, 2025 at Wentworth by the Sea, NH!Resist Digital IDs – Mass Non-Compliance Protest – Saturday, October 18th – 1:00 PM – Central LondonFree Cities Conference: Returning to Prague – October 31st to November 2nd, 2025 – EventCHD 2025 Conference – November 7th-9th – Austin, TXFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineThe People’s Reset Conference – January 28th-February1st 2026 – Morelia, MXEarly bird eds Agust 31st!
