Was Bombing “Drug Boats” Public Relations for Planned Invasion? Dear Subscribers,Happy New Year! Well it didn’t take long for the US “government” to be right back on-track to be the most overtly criminal and corrupt in history. As I type these words the US has initiated what appears to be one of the largest thefts of natural resources the world has ever seen brazenly invading oil-rich Venezuela without a declaration of war.It has become abundantly clear that the campaign of bombing “drug boats” was a murderous public relations campaign to implant in the public consciousness the idea that the Maduro government was running drugs into the US as justification for a long planned invasion.This issue is dedicated to exposing the criminality of this invasion and resource theft. ReallyGraceful has a superb 12 minute explainer video that breaks down the background as our featured video this week.Simplicius has a great article breaking down the geopolitical escalations and the odds that the Maduro military and acting President were paid off/threatened to turn over Maduro to the US.Multiple authors breakdown how this extends the petro-dollar system after Maduro began selling oil in anything but the US Dollar. Reminder: Saddam Hussein was invaded and deposed after he transferred his oil-for-food earnings out of the US dollar into Euros. Libya’s Qaddafi was deposed after he backed the Gold Dinar as a competitor to the US Dollar.The organized crime bankers that we are exposing at the Art of Liberty Foundation, will kill anyone and invade any country to ensure that they get to keep creating little paper tickets and digital dollars to buy up the world. They have plenty of puppet politicians like Donald Trump and shave-headed cult members who will violate the law and a monopoly media system that will pretend the whole thing is legitimate on every single channel and screen.The Flock Camera story in the Daily News section has popped to one of our most shared stories ever. You won’t believe how easy it is to hack into Flock cameras and follow people around… I included a link to a website that let’s you find and report Flock cameras in your neighborhood.Personal Note – Julie and I finished our fast this week. I did eight days of water and the last two days as a dry fast aka The Hard Fast aka The Hebrew Fast. It was intense but I ended up shedding 20 lbs in 10 days and feel absolutely amazing. Was back in the hot room for 5:45AM yoga this AM and just hit the gym for power lifting. 2026 is already off to an amazing start!Top Stories of the WeekSimplicius – Major Questions Finally Answered About Trump’s Venezuelan Adventureby SimpliciusThe questions we raised in yesterday’s piece have finally been answered by the Trump administration itself. The main and most important was what exactly is the real situation in Venezuela vis-a-vis US control? Was the Maduro grab an isolated event, with the US not actually in control of anything on the ground and in the Venezuelan government?Continue reading…Venezuela: Will the Capture of Maduro Save the US Petrodollar?by Ricardo on X/TwitterRicardo, a commenter on the X/ Twitter platform, received 3 million views on his explanation of why the US dollar is the reason for Trump’s overthrow of Venezuelan President Maduro: the US economy is based on the US ‘petrodollar’. In 2018, Venezuela announced it would “free itself from the dollar” and it started accepting yuan, euros, rubles, anything BUT dollars for oil. The petrodollar is dying as BRICS countries are trading in other currencies.China is Venezuela’s biggest oil customer. China built CIPS, their own alternative to SWIFT with 4,800 banks in 185 countries to trade outside of the US dollar.The attack on Maduro is an admission that the US dollar can no longer compete on its own merits. When you have to bomb countries to keep them using your currency, the currency is already dying.Continue readingVenezuelan Acting President Blames “Zionists” For Maduro’s Captureby theyeshivaworld.comDelcy Rodríguez, the vice president of Venezuela who is now serving as acting president, accused Israel of orchestrating the U.S. operation that led to the capture of former leader Nicolás Maduro.Speaking in a televised address alongside senior figures from Maduro’s inner circle, Rodríguez blamed “the Zionists” for the events surrounding his arrest, echoing familiar rhetoric long used by Venezuela’s Chavista leadership to fault Israel and its allies for international pressure on the regime.“The attack on Venezuela has an undoubtedly Zionist character,” Rodríguez declared, offering no evidence to support the claim. She reiterated that Nicolás Maduro “is the only president of Venezuela,” despite his transfer to U.S. custody and a ruling by Venezuela’s constitutional court appointing her interim president during his absence.Continue readingTrump kidnaps Venezuela’s president to steal the country’s oilby Aaron MatéIn announcing the US military’s attack on Venezuela and kidnapping of president Nicolás Maduro, an operation that reportedly killed at least 80 people, President Trump laid bare his real motive.Invoking the 1823 Monroe Doctrine, which has underpinned decades of US aggression against Latin American governments, Trump bragged that “they now call it the Donroe Doctrine… American dominance in the Western Hemisphere won’t be questioned again.” The main target of that dominance is Venezuela’s oil reserves, the world’s largest. With US oil companies leading the way, Trump vowed, “we’re going to get back our oil… the money coming out of the ground is substantial.”While Trump intends it as a riff on his first name, his signature doctrine is additionally fitting for mirroring the behavior of a Mafia Don: using violence, threats, and theft to obtain wealth.Continue readingVideos of the WeekReally Graceful: What the Media Won’t Tell You About VenezuelaBest 12 Minute Explainer Video on What is Behind the Theft of Venezuelan Oilby reallygraceful“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 is a sign of freedom. A low divorce rate does not necessarily mean happy marriages; it means people are unable to escape the hellish ones. Take cultures with forced marriages and an insanely difficult — if not impossible — avenue toward divorce, and tell me how their low divorce rate is an indicator of a “healthy” society.Imagine punishing a man or a woman for wanting to escape a marriage they were forced into by authoritarian regimes or families. Or imagine punishing someone for changing their mind after having grown beyond their bad decision-making.Yes, we are all responsible for our bad choices, because someone has to pay the price, but no arbitrary government should get to decide that punishment for you. A bad choice in a romantic partner is not a crime since both are responsible. Wrong choices and your personal consequences are punishment enough. And what about the children who are innocent in this arrangement? Keep reading further.Continue readingAI Isn’t Taking Your Job — H-1B Is.

But I’m actually more than a libertarian. I don’t believe in the right of the State to exist. The reason is that anything that has a monopoly of force is extremely dangerous. As Mao Tse-tung, lately one of the world’s leading experts on government, said: “The power of the state comes out of a barrel of a gun.”There are two possible ways for people to relate to each other, either voluntarily or coercively. And the State is pure institutionalized coercion. It’s not just unnecessary, but antithetical, for a civilized society. And that’s increasingly true as technology advances. It was never moral, but at least it was possible, in oxcart days, for bureaucrats to order things around. Today it’s ridiculous.Everything that needs doing can and will be done by the market, by entrepreneurs who fill the needs of other people for a profit. The State is a dead hand that imposes itself on society. That belief makes me, of course, an anarchist.Continue readingTHIS WEEK: Pesticides are about to get a liability shield similar to the one for vaccines–unless there is a miracle or two.

It is being developed in coordination with the U.S. Department of War and the U.S. Department of Commerce, according to project materials and government statements.Deputy Secretary of War Steve Feinberg said the investment reflects a strategic shift in U.S. industrial and defense priorities.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsProspera World Tour – Berlin, January 7th 2026Prospera World Tour – London, January 9th 2026Prospera World Tour – San Francisco, January 21stThe People’s Reset – Morelia, Mexico – Jan 28th-Feb 1st 2026Principled Business Summit- Prospera, Roatán, Honduras, February 5–9, 2026MONEROTOPIA 2026-Roma, Mexico City, February 12TH-15TH 2026Entrepreneurship Beyond Politics: Mises Circle in Oklahoma City – Feb 21st, OKC, OKFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineMises Institute Libertarian Scholars Conference – March 19, 2026, at our Auburn, ALAustrian Economic Research Conference 2026 – March 19-21, 2026, Auburn, ALRothbard University-May 14-16, 2026, Auburn, ALLibertarian Scholars Conference 2026- March 19, 2026 – March 19, 2026 – Auburn, Alabama.Free Cities Foundation Conference – September 3–6, 2026 – Prospera, Roatan, HondurasMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekPrezence – Ours for the TakingAnother hit from the Truth Music Folder in The Liberator.libertarian Intentional Community RoundupThursday, March 5 – Sunday, March 8, 2026Concord, NHJoin the Free State Project at Liberty Forum 2026, where liberty-minded thinkers and activists from around the world come together to share ideas, forge connections, and turn the principles of freedom into action.The 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.

My Update to the Corbett Report + More Details..Dear Subscribers,Happy New Year!Julie and I got the seasonal detox that many call “the flu” after several days of dinners and drinks with her family and friends in Chicago… I call it Affluenza… (Root word: Affluent) It has been my first time being sick in over a decade… I forgot what it was like… I slept for two days straight (24th & 25th) and am still recovering… Since I (and Julie) didn’t eat during the worst of it, we decided to keep going with a water fast so we haven’t had any food since the 23rd.. Not really hungry… occasionally… but for the most part we have a hot tea with fresh squeezed lemons, honey or maple syrup, and cayenne or cinnamon a couple of times a day… I’m down 15 pounds and feel great! It’s such a superb way to clean up the system after the feasting and celebrations of the holidays! I’ll probably go another couple of days and break it over the weekend with some guacamole to begin to bring my digestive system back on-line so I can be frosty by next Monday.Thanks again to everyone who supported our work in 2025!

His crime? Creating a software tool that gave Bitcoin users comparable privacy to that which banks are expected to provide. Samourai Wallet, the brand and technology stack built by Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill, was shut down by the U.S. Government in April 2024 on a variety of charges, including money laundering, but only one charge stuck after a high-profile trial, the weakest charge of all, “unlicensed money transmission”.What does it mean to transmit money? According to prosecutors, custodial control over user funds is no longer a requirement to need an MSB license; “a USB cable transfers data from one device to another, and a frying pan transfers heat from a stove to the contents of the pan, although neither situation involves exercising ‘control’ over what is being transferred.” If the DoJ can indict a frying pan, then USB manufacturers better lawyer up!Continue readingJAMMED UP Passengers ‘trapped in cars’ in middle of road as self-driving Waymo vehicles stall during San Francisco power outageby Emma CrabtreeBIZARRE footage shows the moment driver less vehicles stalled in the middle of the road during a power outage, leaving passengers stranded.Autonomous vehicle service Waymo was forced to suspend operations in San Francisco for safety when almost a third of the city was left without power on Saturday night.As the power outage plunged areas of the tech capital into darkness, traffic signals failed and the driverless vehicles abruptly shut down, causing traffic jams throughout the city.“We have temporarily suspended our ride-hailing services in the San Francisco Bay Area due to the widespread power outage,” Suzanne Philion, a Waymo spokesperson told The U.S. Sun.“Our teams are working diligently and in close coordination with city officials to monitor infrastructure stability, and we are hopeful to bring our services back online soon.”Continue readingBREAKING: Our CENSORED Study Showing mRNA Injections Induce Severe Genetic Disruption Linked to Cancer and Chronic Disease Is Now Peer-Reviewed and Publishedby Nicolas Hulscher, MPHFinally, we declare a major victory against the Academic Journal Cartel and their PubPeer Mob enforcement apparatus.Earlier this year, our landmark study—“Synthetic mRNA Vaccines and Transcriptomic Dysregulation: Evidence from New-Onset Adverse Events and Cancers Post-Vaccination”— became one of the most-read and most-downloaded preprints in the world.Shortly thereafter, it was abruptly withdrawn by MDPI for a vague and unexplained reason:It was also wiped from ResearchGate, leaving no trace of this important study behind.We identified that this unethical removal was likely the result of coordinated Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex pressure and PubPeer mob attacks, intended to shield the deadly mRNA platform.Their efforts have failed miserably.Now, our landmark study — Synthetic messenger RNA vaccines and transcriptomic dysregulation: Evidence from new-onset adverse events and cancers post-vaccination — documenting severe, long-lasting transcriptomic disruption following COVID-19 mRNA injections has been officially peer-reviewed and published in the World Journal of Experimental Medicine, a PubMed.gov indexed journal.Continue readingThe Corbett Report – New World Next Year 2026by CorbettWelcome to New World Next Year, the annual wrap up of the New World Next Week video series from Corbett Report and Media Monarchy that covers some of the most important developments in open source intelligence news.

Utilizing a new technique, however, they could soon leave all the fruit intact, analyzing the leaves beside it instead.The process is currently being developed by scientists at Spain’s Universitat Rovira i Virgili, and was tested over the course of 11 weeks on 12 nectarine trees in a commercial orchard.In its present form, the technology utilizes two spectrometers to perform near-infrared and mid-infrared scans of the top surfaces and undersides of leaves immediately adjacent to the fruits. The manner in which the leaves absorb or reflect light emitted by each spectrometer reliably indicates the current ripeness of the fruit.“The leaves undergo physiological and biochemical changes as the fruit ripens, due to the direct connection between the metabolism of the leaves and that of the fruit,” says team member Dr. Daniel Schorn. “These changes are reflected in their spectral fingerprint.”Continue readingPastor Spent Millions of ‘Embezzled’ BLM OKC Money on Properties and Caribbean TripsEtienne Note: The organized crime banksters were spending so much money to divide and conquer that milllions were being siphoned off by the lower level criminals involved in the scheme.By Marty Vergel BaesThe former leader of Black Lives Matter Oklahoma City has been federally indicted for allegedly diverting more than £2.5 million ($3.15 million) in donations into a personal slush fund used to purchase property and finance a lavish lifestyle.The case against Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson, 52, details a multi-year scheme in which bail funds intended for protesters were allegedly siphoned into private accounts, sending shockwaves through the activist community and raising urgent questions about financial oversight in decentralised social movements.Dickerson, 52, was charged with 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering by a federal grand jury in Oklahoma City. As outlined in the US Department of Justice announcement, the alleged scheme unfolded between June 2020 and October 2025, spanning the height of fundraising efforts following the 2020 racial justice protests.Continue readingRussia expands biometric ID system (again)by Edward SlavsquatThe commercial enterprise that controls Russians’ biometric data has introduced new ways to use your face as a form of ID, resulting in unprecedented levels of safety and convenience in the Russian Federation.

Plans for a standardized “biometric turnstile system” for Russian schools are already being tested in Tatarstan.Authorities have stressed that schools will be able to choose whether or not to switch to biometric identification, adding that parents must first consent before their childrens’ faces are scanned and entered into Russia’s Unified Biometric System (UBS).Continue readingDOJ Releases Damning Epstein Files Implicating Trump Right Before Christmasby Peter Chappell, Tom Witherow, George Grylls, Washington Correspondent, Andrea Blanco, US ReporterThousands more documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein have been releasedGhislaine Maxwell sought to procure “intelligent, pretty and fun” women “from good families” for her friend “Andrew”The files relate to federal investigations into Epstein’s sex-trafficking operations in Florida and New York.

But beneath the colorful designs lurks a hidden journey. According to a new study, tattoo ink doesn’t stay in the skin; it travels and accumulates in the lymph nodes, potentially causing lifelong changes to the immune system. The findings offer no conclusion as to whether these changes are positive or negative, but suggest that pigment retention in lymph nodes can persistently alter local immunity.“Tattoos are not only a cosmetic treatment, but they are also associated with some important problems like the presence of some inflammation in the immune system, which we need further study [of] in the future,” the first author of the study, Santiago F. Gonzalez, told New Atlas.A complex admixture of the ink that is insoluble in bodily fluids grants durability to tattoos. While previous studies have linked tattoo ink ingredients to various health issues, research on the interaction of ink components with the immune response is scarce. To evaluate how tattooing affects the immune response, Santiago and his colleagues set up a mouse model.Continue readingWatch: T800 humanoid kung fu kicks its way to mass productionBy Stefan IonescuIt’s hard not to think of ‘T800’ without “The Terminator“ and “Skynet” coming to mind. However, EngineAI has created a robot with that exact name. This isn’t Hollywood science fiction; it’s an acrobatic, combat-ready machine that will soon be mass-produced for industrial applications, and is backed by a billion yuan in financing.EngineAI, a Shenzhen-based robotics company founded in 2023, has recently become the talk of the robotics industry, thanks to the T800’s tagline “Born to subvert.” Indeed, the robot’s demo showcased a high degree of mobility, as it demonstrated its ability to perform high-flying kicks and kung fu moves with ease. The machine could even spar with humans.EngineAI T800: Born to Disrupt! #EngineAI #robotics #newtechnology #newproductIn fact, the demo looked so slick that the company had to release a behind-the-scenes video to counter online allegations that the demo was created using CGI. Even the EngineAI CEO, Zhao Tongyang – a veteran in the robotics field – posted an Instagram video where the T800 kicked him across the room. Extraordinary commitment to his product!Continue readingThinking About Going to IRL Netflix House – Better Read the Terms and Conditionsby The Drey DossierThe subtitle of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! is: How Inter-Generational Organized Crime Runs the “Government”, Media and Academia.

We’ve already seen a couple of models from the likes of Samsung and Hisense, and it looks like more brands are getting in on the action next year. Whether it should feature in your checklist while shopping for a TV in 2026 depends largely on whether you’re really an early adopter, and if money is no object.Let’s quickly go over what Micro RGB technology is all about first. A conventional backlit LCD TV uses an array of white or blue LEDs to shine through an LCD panel and color filters to illuminate pixels on its screen. That’s great, and it’s worked for several years now. But this isn’t without its compromises on brightness, vibrance, contrast, and color accuracy.With Micro RGB, you’ve got microscopic individual LEDs – measuring just tens of microns in size – that each shine in primary colors. They’re something like four times smaller than those used in mini-LED TVs, which are today’s top-of-the-line category.Continue readingZero-pilot eVTOL pushes to achieve feat never done beforeBy David SzondyBoeing subsidiary Wisk Aero’s Generation 6 eVTOL aircraft has completed its historic maiden flight. On December 16, 2025 at 12:26 pm PST, the autonomous passenger carrier lifted off from the Wisk flight test facility at Hollister, California.First flights of eVTOLs are so common these days that they’re about as newsworthy as the announcement of a new flavor of potato chip. However, the Wisk flight is different because it is a Gen-6 certification model that’s claimed to be the first-ever candidate for FAA type certification of an autonomous, passenger-carrying eVTOL in the United States.Wisk has been developing its eVTOL for over a decade, with five previous iterations – each one signifying a distinct generation of development from proof-of-concept to pre-production prototype for FAA certification.Continue readingJunk-food Bans for SNAP Users To Begin in Januaryby Raw Egg NationalistAmericans using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in some states will be prohibited from purchasing certain kinds of junk food.Beginning in January, 18 states will restrict the purchase of certain foods.The ban is being carried out under the aegis of Health Secretary Robert F.

Hopefully the flu will fizzle out soon, as it seems to have done in the UK, before things get really crazy.Continue readingThe Hidden Connection Between Glyphosate and Kidney Diseaseby IRT News TeamChronic kidney disease now affects approximately 37 million Americans—about 1 in 7 adults—and many don’t even know they have it. While conventional medicine points to diabetes and high blood pressure as primary causes, emerging research suggests another culprit may be hiding in plain sight: glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicide that’s sprayed on much of our food supply.Dr. Michelle Perro, an integrative pediatrician with nearly 40 years of clinical experience, doesn’t mince words: “Glyphosate-based herbicides are kidney toxic.” This isn’t just speculation—it’s an observation supported by toxicology literature and increasingly recognized by researchers studying agricultural communities where glyphosate exposure is highest.Your kidneys perform over 400 vital functions every single day, filtering about 200 quarts of blood to remove waste and excess water. They regulate blood pressure, maintain mineral balance, and activate vitamin D for bone health. When kidneys fail, the consequences are devastating—and often irreversible.Continue readingFront Companies? Bombshell Report Exposes Network Of Somali-Linked “Empty” Daycares Across Minnesotaby Tyler DurdenLeft-wing Governor Tim Walz, under intensifying federal pressure, faces a widening Somali-linked fraud scandal in Minnesota. Federal prosecutors state that the scheme currently totals at least $9 billion, with the final figure potentially much higher. Recent reporting by Ryan Thorpe and Christopher F. Rufo alleges that some welfare funds were funneled into an overseas terrorist organization. Now, a bombshell video from a citizen journalist suggests the fraud extends beyond Medicaid into the state’s daycare system.Shirley claims his team uncovered more than $110 million in questionable payments to Somali-owned businesses on just the first day of their investigation, as part of a broader welfare fraud scandal totaling upwards of $9 billion.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsProspera World Tour – Berlin, January 7th 2026Prospera World Tour – London, January 9th 2026Prospera World Tour – San Francisco, January 21stThe People’s Reset – Morelia, Mexico – Jan 28th-Feb 1st 2026Principled Business Summit- Prospera, Roatán, Honduras, February 5–9, 2026MONEROTOPIA 2026-Roma, Mexico City, February 12TH-15TH 2026Entrepreneurship Beyond Politics: Mises Circle in Oklahoma City – Feb 21st, OKC, OKFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineMises Institute Libertarian Scholars Conference – March 19, 2026, at our Auburn, ALAustrian Economic Research Conference 2026 – March 19-21, 2026, Auburn, ALRothbard University-May 14-16, 2026, Auburn, ALLibertarian Scholars Conference 2026- March 19, 2026 – March 19, 2026 – Auburn, Alabama.Free Cities Foundation Conference – September 3–6, 2026 – Prospera, Roatan, HondurasMemes BonanzaTruth Music of the WeekRed Pill Friends by The Red Pill FriendsIt looks like the Red Pill Friends might be doing a tour in April on their way to the confluence conference in Austin.
