Translations: Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Italian, Turkish, Polish, German and FrenchI finished David Rogers Webb’s book The Great Taking over the Christmas break. I am embarrassed to admit that while we first reported on The Great Taking in October of 2023, and multiple times since in the Daily News from the Art of Liberty Foundation, it took me this long to really grasp the absolute true importance until I read the whole book. I had assumed I understood what was going on based on interviews I had seen with the author, boil downs, and discussions with others especially Matt White, an Art of Liberty Foundation Advisory Board Member, who has been in the middle of the fight to bring this to prominence and organize resistance. It wasn’t until I finally read the book and watched the documentary last month that it really clicked. The Great Taking is, quite literally, a 44 Magnum pointed at the face of humanity. There is a hollow point in the chamber and the hammer is cocked and the guy holding the trigger has killed before…Executive Summary of the Executive SummaryThe exact same money center banks and central banks that we are exposing at the Art of Liberty Foundation behind the theft of Trillions through fractional reserve banking, “bailouts,” “stimulus,” and other scams have been working quietly behind the scenes for decades to change the UCC in all 50 States AND engineer the “Dematerialization” of stock ownership from physical stock certificates and a status of private property to electronic ownership and a new legal definition of a “Security Entitlement.” To quote David Rogers Webb from the book:“There are now no property rights to securities held in book-entry form in any jurisdiction, globally. In the grand scheme to confiscate all collateral, dematerialization of securities was the essential first step. The planning and efforts began over half a century ago. That there was some great strategic purpose behind dematerialization is evidenced by the fact that the CIA was assigned the mission. The project leader was William (Bill) Dentzer, Jr., a career CIA operative… even though he had no background in any aspect of banking or finance, he was appointed New York State Superintendent of Banks by Nelson Rockefeller. This came after his nomination to the newly-formed New York State Council of Economic Advisors by its Chairman, former head of the World Bank, Eugene Black. [Etienne Note: In intelligence agency parlance this is called: Creating the Legend]Interestingly, Black’s father had been Chairman of the Federal Reserve in 1933 [Etienne Note: 1933 was the last “Great Taking,” see below] Within two years of assuming his position as New York State Bank Superintendent, Dentzer was named Chairman and CEO of the newly formed Depository Trust Corporation (DTC), a post he held for the next twenty-two years i.e., through the entire process of dematerialization. In the case of a financial crisis (or what appears to be the banks setting up an engineered financial crisis for this specific purpose) that would bankrupt fiduciaries such as stock brokers, pension funds, and broker-dealers… then the banks would assume the role of secured creditors and the specific stocks that you currently believe you own in your brokerage account are actually being held in a unsegregated “pool” where they can be electronically swept up through institutions like the Depository Trust in the US and Euroclear in Europe. You “might” eventually get a token settlement in depreciated dollars OR a new Central Bank Digital Currency in a dollar collapse or massive devaluation BUT the ownership of the assets will be taken from you and 98% of other market participants.The absolute priority claim of secured creditors to pooled client securities has already been upheld by the courts.The Last “Great Taking” was in 1933( The Guy Holding the Trigger has Killed Before)There is also a historical precedent where bankers engineered a financial crisis to steal real assets using “government” and “legislation” during the great depression.In 1933, the organized crime “government” confiscated the American people’s gold coin and bullion through Executive Order 6102 in a move that opened up the organized crime “banks” to be able to create unlimited fiat paper tickets and digital dollars through fractional reserve banking even though the process is inflationary and steals the value out of everyone else’s money. Prior to 1933, US dollars functioned as “warehouse receipts” for gold coin that was held at banks so you wouldn’t have to haul around the actual heavy gold. A US twenty dollar gold certificate was redeemable for a $20 one-ounce St. Gaduins Coin

FiveMemeFri – Marjorie Taylor Greene Backs Up My Epic Rant: MAGA “Was All a Lie”

+ The NEW 2026 Liberator Flash Drive – Uncensorable Evidence of “Gov’t” Illegitimacy & Criminality Dear Subscribers,Our main story this week is the Epic Rant I went on vs. Dr. Frank Tamburri who has been hosting: The Trump (Chump) Report, a weekly segment covering Trump, on Declare Your Independence with Ernest Hancock for a decade.I broke down the case that Trump was installed by Zionist interests who bailed him out financially (Rothchild Inc. restructured his major bankruptcy), most likely had him blackmailed in the Jeffrey Epstein/Mossad “Brownstone Operation,” “Created His Legend” as an astute businessman with The Apprentice (where his theatrical agent was Zionist Ari Emanuel, brother of Clinton Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel), and then financed his campaigns with over $400M of Zionist money from Sheldon and Miriam Adelson alone. Then.. Once installed… He cranks up the “aid” to Israel from $3 billion a year to over $20 billion per year… and bombs Yemen and Iran… and enables the genocide of the Palestinians with Palantir software and US weapons.Former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene came out today on the Kim Iverson show to, essentially, echo what I am saying:“I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people. What MAGA is really serving in this administration, who they’re serving, is their big donors…Those are the people that get the special favors. They get the government contracts, they get the pardons, or somebody they love or one of their friends gets a pardon.”“It’s the foreign countries. They are running the show here…That’s really what MAGA is. We are seeing war on behalf of Israel, we are seeing the people in Gaza, innocent people in Gaza, hundreds of thousands of them completely murdered so that they can build some new real estate development. Money can pour in and everybody can get rich there in the new Gaza,”The other major story is that we just published the 2026 Liberator Flash Drive with new content including the ePub copies of BOTH “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History.. Exposed! AND To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many.Substack Is Censoring Our Content… Now There are NO Major Platforms That Are Not Controlled.I was on The Last American Vagabond and Conscious Resistance Telethon/Fundraiser with a variety of other liberty-oriented content creators and shared some slides (below) showing that that right before Substack Announced their $100 MM Investment from BOND (”Ex”-Goldman Sachs, In-Q-Tel, Defense Innovation Board, Kleiner Perkins Partners) + The Chernin Group (Ex-News Corp) + Andreessen Horowitz (Funded other controlled platforms including Twitter, Facebook, FourSquare, BuzzFeed, and Medium), our growth on Substack, which had been growing significantly…12,000+ total subscribers across four different Substacks with hundreds of paid subscribers, a dozen plus Founding Members, etc.,suddenly fell off dramaticallyAcross all four Substacks… Simultaneously… almost as if a switch had been thrown…The first three images below are our top three Substacks… Which is what I shared with the audience.. tell the story…Other liberty-oriented creators sent me their Substack growth statistics showing the exact same fall off… at the exact same time… Below Left is Mike Winner… Below Right is Zowe Smith, everyone’s favorite Covid whistleblower from Vaxxed 3 and the author of My Life in the Thrill Kill Medical Cult.The censorship is now getting worse. Now Substack is simply not syndicating many of the the articles we publish to the folks who have subscribed to our publications. We have over 2700 hundred subscribers to The Daily News and another 600+ who subscribe to our once-per-day Daily News Digest version.We usually average between 600-1500 views of each story. Now we are seeing stories that have less than 20 views (which is probably just the folks who actually come to the home page… No distribution to the e-mail subscribers OR through the App… )We had hired two part-time employees to handle the publication of the articles and the customer service of our premiums. Now that is losing money AND we now need to spend additional capital to move off of Substack to a platform where we can’t be censored. We need some help to do it!Please don’t sponsor us on Substack! Please help us through our Sponsorship program on the Art of Liberty Foundation website. We have some great premiums to say THANK YOU! AND we will give you a free subscription to the Substack until we move to another platform.artofliberty.org/sponsorship-program/We are getting ready for our yearly sponsorship campaign to help fund those and other initiatives.

Rant Exposing Trump’s Criminality & Installation as Zionist PuppetThere is speculation BUT I stack the facts and evidence up in the transcript I illustrated with memes, visualizations, and historical photosI was on Freedom’s Phoenix with Ernest Hancock and went on an Epic Rant on another guest, Dr. Phranq Tamburri, who has been hosting a weekly segment on the show called: The Trump Report, which myself and others have nicknamed: The Chump Report.I have been miffed at the whole thing the entire time because:1. Trump is obviously an installed puppet, which is the focus of my rant, and where I cut the rant out and included the facts and evidence below in the transcript for many of my claims. Obviously there is some speculation on my part, but I stack up the facts that make the case below.2. I think the “Chump Report” has been tarnishing the reputation of Freedom’s Phoenix, which is one of my favorite voluntaryist talk shows. The segment legitimizes Trump/The Presidency and has left many voluntaryists scratching their heads.So I went off on him in this rant… Then I stacked up the evidence in the transcript/article with visualizations, historical photos, and memes…Continue reading…The Liberator – Our UNCENSORABLE, Credit Card-Sized Flash Drive Exposing the Organized Crime “Government”The Liberator– A credit card-sized flash drive (and FREE Dropboxes) full of liberty resources that expose the control system, make evidence of “government” illegitimacy and criminality uncensorable and provide the healthy alternatives of voluntaryism, freedom, love, tolerance, Agorism, and counter-economics.

Matta highlighted the viral “Baby Cyrus” case, where a child was taken at gunpoint over medical and vaccination disputes, then returned after public protests and media attention.Matta argues that financial incentives tied to federal funding encourage agencies, hospitals, and law enforcement to separate families and place children into foster care. The conversation also connects CPS practices to broader claims of government mishandling and trafficking of migrant children, criticizing both major political parties and mainstream media for failing to intervene.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 Saturday killing—committed by a Customs and Border Protection agent—is the third shooting by U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) and CBP in as many weeks, and comes just one day after tens of thousands of Minneapolis residents took to the streets in subzero temperatures to protest the federal raids in Minnesota.Close-up video footage, obtained by Drop Site, shows one agent push a person to the ground and then deploy a chemical irritant twice on the 37-year-old Pretti, who had gone to help the person pushed. Around eight agents then swarm and wrestle him to the ground. One of the officers then visibly unholstered his gun and fired multiple close-range gunshots at Pretti, a Minnesota resident who was reportedly on the scene as an observer. There are ten gunshots heard in all—at least five of them were fired at Pretti from a distance, while the person holding the camera shouts, “What the fuck did you just do?”Video footage obtained by Drop Site with slow-motion video analysis of the January 24th killing of Alex Pretti by a CBP agent.Continue reading…Chicago Dems Allowed Its Parking Meters to be Sold to a Private Company, Rates to Increaseby ABC and CBSSeventeen years ago, Chicago privatized its parking meters and sold them off to a private company that is now selling the meters to another private company. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has the opportunity to buy back the meters, but he said the cost is too high.When the city sold the lease for the meters, parking cost $3 per hour – the current cost is $7 per hour to park downtown.Continue reading…Lobbying firms took in a record $5 billion in 2025By Emma Sullivan and Hien An NgoLobbying activity surpassed $5 billion for the first time in 2025, as corporations, interest groups and other organizations increased their spending 14 percent during the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term.Spending reached $5.08 billion for the year, according to an OpenSecrets analysis of federal lobbying reports, up 11 percent from 2024 after accounting for inflation. Both the adjusted and non-adjusted increases represent the largest jumps since quarterly disclosures began in 2008.The record total came even as some of Washington’s biggest spenders, such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Realtors, cut back from their 2024 lobbying expenditures, with new groups making up the difference. In 2025, 15,768 organizations reported lobbying activity, up from 14,061 the previous year, an increase of nearly 12 percent.Continue reading…Stunning Epstein twist as Ghislaine Maxwell claims 29 friends cut ‘secret deals’ with DOJBy ROSS IBBETSON, ASSOCIATE EDITORGhislaine Maxwell has claimed that 29 friends of Jeffrey Epstein were shielded through ‘secret settlements’ by the Justice Department.The disgraced socialite filed a habeas corpus petition on December 17 seeking to overturn her conviction, arguing that prosecutors cut deals with Epstein associates while prosecuting her as if no such agreements existed.Maxwell alleges that 25 men reached undisclosed deals, while four alleged co-conspirators were known to investigators but never charged. She does not name the individuals.‘None of the four named co-conspirators or the 25 men with secret settlements were indicted,’ the court filing says.Maxwell argues that the alleged concealment of these deals undermined the fairness of her trial and violated her constitutional rights.Continue reading…FBI Raids Atlanta Elections Office. Is This the First of Many?by Paul DraguOn Wednesday, the FBI raided the Fulton County election facility in Georgia as part of an investigation into the 2020 elections.

This includes not just ICE but other Department of Homeland Security agencies like Border Patrol as well. The ultimate goal is to create a list of anti-ICE protestors, which the Trump administration believes are part of an organized network of domestic terrorists.Continue reading…What is the Science Behind Porn Addiction?by NofapTo date, the American psychological community has yet to officially recognize porn addiction as a disorder. However, a building body of scientific evidence and 100,000s of personal stories from the recovery community leads us to conclude that the unprecedented availability of pornography in the era of the Internet has resulted in an undeniable problem, one that is destructive to individuals and, consequently, society as a whole. This problem has come to be called “porn addiction” by many, including those of us in the community here at NoFap®.Our understanding of porn addiction is largely compiled from analysis of our surveys and the thousands of personal stories our users have posted to our forums, as well as reports gathered from other porn recovery websites. We bring to bear as much current brain science as we can to this body of anecdotal evidence. One of the main goals of NoFap is to increase interest in the topic of porn addiction in order to spur further scientific study, which will in turn deepen our understanding of porn addiction.Continue reading…Special Forces Training Center at Fort Bragg Has Evolved Into Murder Capital and Drug Trafficking Hubby Jeremy KuzmarovOriginally published at CovertAction MagazineIn his 2014 retirement speech, Admiral William McRaven, the former commander of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), called the era of the Global War on Terror the “golden age of special operations.”In a sense, McRaven’s comments were true as, in the absence of a draft, the U.S. military has come to rely on covert operations using small groups of highly trained shadow operators in fighting the country’s post-9/11 wars.Continue reading…Don’t Blame Boomersby Matt BrackenAS A BOOMER (b. 1957) who is being blamed for all the ills afflicting subsequent generations, I’d like to state the following.1. I did not vote to establish the private Federal Reserve in 1913. I was not born until many decades later.2. I did not vote to change our real silver coins (“money”) for copper coins painted silver. I was 8 years old in 1965.3. I did not vote to change our Silver Certificate Dollars (which could be exchanged for actual physical silver) to pure fiat Federal Reserve Notes. I was 11 years old in 1968.4. I did not vote to “close the gold window” in 1971. Nixon did that. I was 14 years old.What happened to all Americans was the planned and structured debasement of our federal reserve currency (it’s not real money). The 4 steps listed above allowed the politicians of both parties to print FRNs with no limits at all, always diminishing the purchasing power (”wealth”) of the beleaguered middle class.Continue reading…NexPhone revisits the long-running dream of combining your phone and laptopBy Monica J. WhiteAfter a decade of false starts across the industry, Nex Computer revisits the idea of replacing your laptop with a smartphone. By combining Android, Linux, and Windows in one device, the NexPhone may have made the vision a reality.For years, technologists have floated a simple, elegant idea: what if your mobile phone could become your computer whenever you needed it? Imagine it being your desktop PC at home, a laptop replacement when you travel, and a phone for everything in between.This idea is the driving force behind the NexPhone, a newly announced smartphone from Nex Computer that aims to combine phone and PC into a single device. It does this by shifting roles depending on context: it runs Android as a daily smartphone, can launch a full Linux (Debian) environment on demand, and can even dual-boot into Windows when needed.Continue reading…Four Causes, Seventy Thousand Diseasesby UnbekomingThere are four causes of disease. There are over 70,000 ICD diagnostic codes. The gap between these numbers is where the money is.A child eats processed food saturated with glyphosate, artificial colours, and preservatives for years. His body, doing exactly what it evolved to do, initiates a detoxification response. Mucus production increases to flush irritants. Inflammation rises to repair damaged tissue. A fever may develop to accelerate metabolic clearing. His mother, frightened by the symptoms, takes him to the doctor. The doctor examines him, perhaps runs tests, and delivers a diagnosis: respiratory infection, or allergic rhinitis, or asthma—depending on which symptoms present most prominently and which billing code applies. The diagnosis triggers a prescription. The prescription—an antibiotic, an antihistamine, a steroid, or all three—suppresses the symptoms. The child feels better, which is to say: his body’s repair mechanisms have been chemically interrupted.Continue reading…World’s simplest and cheapest snow plow…by Donna Hancock & The Art of Liberty Foundation Daily NewsWorld’s simplest and cheapest snow plow -Use angle irons to weld a triangular rack and tie a stone!These types of tools are commonly known as “snow drags” or “snow scrapers.” Here is how you can build your own DIY Snow Drag using basic materials.Continue reading…The Idolatry of Statism – Why Christians Should Oppose NationalismEtienne Note: We first published this on Christmas Eve and had hard copies on order.

The importance of self-defense lies in its role as a safeguard against both private and state aggression. Unlike modern states, which increasingly disarm their citizens and leave them defenseless, a private-law society would place no restrictions on the individual ownership of firearms or other weapons. In a genuinely free society, the preservation of liberty does not depend on armies or governments but on morally responsible individuals capable of self-reliance. Security must never be entrusted to the very institution that holds the monopoly on force; it must remain in the hands of the people themselves.The School of Salamanca—a group of 16th-century theologians and jurists—developed a profound understanding of natural law, laying the groundwork for modern concepts of individual liberty and resistance to tyranny. Among them, Francisco de Vitoria and Francisco Suárez affirmed self-defense as an inalienable right, grounded in divine natural law and applicable to individuals and communities, including cases of resistance to oppressive authorities. It is fundamental to emphasize that the Salamanca scholastics did not create natural law, but rather understood and articulated it.Continue reading…The Hidden Dopamine TrapAddictive ProgramingLiving Through DopamineConclusionby A Midwestern DoctorStory at a Glance:•Modern children’s content (especially fast-paced YouTube shows like CoComelon) is engineered to maximize watch time through rapid cuts and constant dopamine triggers, creating addictive patterns in toddlers that lead to overstimulation, irritability, and severe tantrums, and when screens are removed.•This deliberate design exploits the brain’s orienting response, rewiring developing nervous systems toward novelty-seeking while impairing sustained attention, executive function, and emotional regulation—effects supported by studies linking fast-paced media to ADHD-like symptoms and long-term attentional deficits.

Trump’s EPA Calls for Review of Fluoride Science While Ignoring Historic Ruling on Fluorideby Derrick BrozeOn Thursday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced plans for an “accelerated review” of the risks posed by fluoride in public drinking water. The move has been celebrated by some within the so-called Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, but criticized by others who argue that the EPA is ignoring a 2024 federal court ruling, which found fluoride to be harmful to the neurodevelopment of children.As part of the announcement, the EPA released a document titled “Fluoride Human Health Toxicity Assessment: Preliminary Assessment Plan and Literature Survey“ that detailed the agency’s plans for reviewing the science on water fluoridation.The document states that the EPA will draw conclusions regarding the “harmful human health effects of fluoride” or determine the levels of fluoride exposure associated with harmful health effects as part of a forthcoming draft human health toxicity assessment. The agency states that it will consider sensitive populations, including infants and children.Continue reading…Definitely DO NOT spray Rustoleum 214944 on your license platesUsers on social media (TikTok/YouTube) have demonstrated how this “Specialty Reflective Finish” spray creates a retro-reflective layer. When a speed camera’s flash hits the plate, the light bounces directly back, resulting in a white, unreadable glare in the official citation photo.Rust-Oleum 214944 is marketed as a safety spray for visibility, but for the liberty-minded, it has a “side effect”: it turns your license plate into a mirror that blinds the state’s automated tax collectors.Law enforcement agencies across the US (from Florida to California) have released warnings about the “proliferation of plate obscuring sprays.” They argue that even if the plate looks clear to the human eye, the “chemical interference” with their cameras constitutes a crime.Continue reading…Enhancing Fertility Naturally – (Updated for 2026 with info on how reproductive health is connected with ancient forest ecology)by Gavin MounseyI am reposting this for people that are hoping to start a family so you can have info on what toxins to avoid (environmental and psychological) and what foods you can eat to help ensure you bring a healthy baby into the world.I also share the update from the 2025 Year in Review – #SolutionsWatch at the end of the video above.In the video clip James (thoughtfully) reads out my message and update regarding what I have learned about the connection between old growth forests and human health (specifically reproductive health).I wanted to share this now (before I publish the last installment of the series on the ancient Fairy Creek forest watershed) as it offers one more reason (along with the long list of both scientific and spiritual reasons) why we need to protect rare ancient forest habitats.Continue reading…Greg Reese 5 Minute Video: The Causality of Government (Mindfulness Stops Distractions)by Greg ReeseIn the Mind-Wandering Discovery by Killingsworth & Gilbert, over a quarter-million data points showed that people were not focused on what they were doing for about forty-seven percent of their waking lives, and the less focus they had, the more unhappy they were. Decades of research show that nearly half of daily life consists of automatic behaviors executed without conscious decision-making. Unconscious automatic brain activity precedes conscious awareness by about half a second, and in most cases, will help keep you consciously oblivious to half of your waking life.There is a default setting that our nervous system goes into whenever we lose focus and wander. Scientific studies have identified it as The Default Mode Network. This is what Buddhism calls, ignorance, and Gurdjieff called waking sleep. Many spiritual traditions have diagnosed the human condition as one of chronic inattention, and have taught various practices to remedy this problem and help us wake up.Continue reading…TikTok users say they can’t upload anti-ICE videos. The company blames tech issuesEtienne Note: Reminder: Investigative reporting by Mint Press News that showed the content moderation team at Google is populated by both CIA AND Israeli Mossad/Unit 8200, content moderators at Twitter are populated by “Ex” FBI officials, the content moderation team at Facebook is populated by “Ex” CIA officials. The content moderation team at Tik Tok is populated by “Ex” State Department officials.by Scottie Andrew, CNNThe comedian Megan Stalter, who posts absurd character skits to an audience in the high hundreds of thousands across Instagram and TikTok, tried sharing a different kind of video on Saturday night. Driven by the death of Alex Pretti, the nurse shot by a federal immigration agent or agents that day, she had recorded herself urging her fellow Christians to speak out against ICE raids in Minneapolis.“We have to abolish ICE,” Stalter said in the video. “I truly, truly believe that is exactly what Jesus would do.”On Instagram, the video was reposted more than 12,000 times. But her plea never made it to TikTok. In a follow-up post on Instagram, she said she had attempted to upload the video to TikTok several times with no success, then had given up and deleted her TikTok account entirely, believing her content was being censored because it was about ICE. (CNN has reached out to Stalter for comment.)Continue reading…This $13 Billion Aircraft Carrier Can’t Get One Important Thing To Workby Brad HillWhen the world’s largest aircraft carrier was first undergoing sea trials, its advanced Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) struggled, which is understandable since it was a new and advanced system for aircraft carriers. Plumbing, on the other hand, the United States Navy has had a handle on for a good while. Until now, it seems. While the USS Gerald R. Ford has been launching fighter jets to assist with operations in the Caribbean, it has been suffering a series of mishaps with its toilet.The carrier has a crew of 4,600, which is a lot of individuals in one place not to have a working plumbing system. NPR submitted a FOIA request and received documents that showed the crew has been trying to manage this issue since 2023. The bulk of the problem has been from the Vacuum Collection, Holding and Transfer (VCHT) system. The VCHT system is identical to that used in the cruise ship industry, but the rest of the carrier’s plumbing is more complex than that of a cruise ship.One document the publication received states, “Every day that the entire crew is present on the ship, a trouble call has been made for ship’s force personnel to repair or unclog a portion of the VCHT system, since June 2023.” For more than two years, the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world has requested help 42 times for its toilets, with 32 of those calls taking place in 2025.Continue reading…America’s Favorite Cooking Oil Shows Strong Link to Obesityby Dr. Joseph Mercola at Mercola.comSoybean oil dominates the U.S. food supply.

There are similar algorithms on Substack, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, Tik Tok, YouTube and other monopoly tech platforms where, we believe, the organized crime banksters provided some of their unlimited fractional reserve currency to create, dominate and/or monopolize the leading search engines, video sites, and social media platforms to control perception and censor evidence of “government” criminality, corruption, and illegitimacy.by Richard Gage, AIA – ArchitectEarlier this month, 9/11 Truth activist Gene L., inspired by @S2Underground, succeeded in getting Grok, the AI associated with X, to reveal the set of secret X algorithms for our RG911 account. He learned about this scandalous reveal from @S2Underground on his X post.Grok terms the search “Semantic Contextual Scoring OHI_V3 object for the X account @RichardGage_911.” And it reflected “X’s internal semantic, contextual, and moderation analysis derived from the account’s bio” (our account!). X has since patched the Grok leak and included dismissive statements upon such searches:“fabricated or simulated internal scoring object that Grok (in certain prompted conversations around January 2026) generates when users ask for it directly, often following an initial query about account classification on X. This isn’t a real…But, it revealed that it stores startling data, facts, and opinions about our work here at RichardGage911, which was shocking to learn, such as a summary of our “Post History (persistent advocacy for controlled demolition evidence, critiques of official narratives on WTC collapses, accusations of government protection of ‘terrorists’ via non-declassification, ties to false flag framing including recent Gaza and 10/7 parallels, interviews/promotions of truth movement content, and responses to critics/skeptics), high media usage (videos of evidence presentations, physics arguments, event graphics), and engagement with aligned accounts (e.g., AE911Truth-related amplifications).

The study draws on data from more than 11 million participants via the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Health and Nutrition Examination and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and from the independent Gallup Daily Survey.The projections show a striking increase in the prevalence of obesity over the past few decades in the U.S. In 1990, only 19.3% of U.S. adults were obese, according to the study.

Building on that work, Atlas Island founder Mason has developed LiberArx, a modular vessel design intended to make long-term living at sea accessible even to those without specialist sailing experience. LiberArx is conceived as a solar-powered, self-sufficient floating home, prioritising personal freedom, mobility, and adaptability. The design features large open interiors and domestic living spaces, with a layout more similar to an apartment than a conventional boat. The LiberArx team is currently seeking someone to commission the first full-scale prototype, to be built in a Dutch shipyard at an estimated cost of $1.5 million. Anyone interested in being part of seasteading history by commissioning this first specialist floating home can find out more via the company’s official website: Liberarx or contact Mason directly at: Ma***@******rx.com. ArkPad: From Concept to Cashflow Seasteading company ArkPad, whose founder Mitchell Suchner received the 2025 Free Cities Conference Innovation Award, continues to expand operations beyond its flagship reef resort near Davao, Philippines. The existing resort currently operates 14 floating “glamphouses” less than a kilometre offshore, available via Airbnb and other platforms. To date, it has hosted around 3,200 guests, served an estimated 2,500 restaurant customers, and maintains an average rating of 4.7 stars on Airbnb. A recent video by Filipino travel vlogger Rish Mars (nearly half a million followers) about the resort has generated significant interest.ArkPad is now planning a second site off the coast of Próspera, Honduras, with construction intended to align with the 2026 Free Cities Conference. For those interested in ownership, units are available either outright or via fractional shares. Prices start from $45,000 in Davao and $95,000 in Roatán, with fractional ownership available from 1%.

The operation marked a dramatic shift in Venezuela’s political situation and has already begun to reshape expectations about the country’s future direction. While international observers remain divided over the legitimacy of the operation, many in the business community see the removal of Maduro as opening the door to political stabilization, renewed international engagement, and a more predictable environment for business. This is especially significant for CryptoCity, one of the flagship projects featured in the Free Communities Directory. We recently spoke with Tim Stern, CEO of CryptoCity, who expressed strong confidence that special economic zones in Venezuela will continue and are likely to thrive under the new conditions. Together with Venezuelan futurist José Cordero, Tim reported a noticeable increase in investor enquiries and early signs of rising property values in areas linked to SEZ activity.

Etienne’s Epic (Fact-Checked!) Rant Exposing Trump’s Criminality & Installation as Zionist Puppet

Etienne’s Epic (Fact-Checked!) Rant Exposing Trump’s Criminality & Installation as Zionist Puppet

There is speculation BUT I stack the facts and evidence up in the transcript I illustrated with memes, visualizations, and historical photosI was on Freedom’s Phoenix with Ernest Hancock and went on an Epic Rant on another guest, Dr. Phranq Tamburri, who has been hosting a weekly segment on the show called: The Trump Report, which myself and others have nicknamed: The Chump Report. I have been miffed at the whole thing the entire time because: 1. Trump is obviously an installed puppet, which is the focus of my rant, and where I cut the rant out and included the facts and evidence below in the transcript for many of my claims. Obviously there is some speculation on my part, but I stack up the facts that make the case below. 2. I think the “Chump Report” has been tarnishing the reputation of Freedom’s Phoenix, which is one of my favorite voluntaryist talk shows. The segment legitimizes Trump/The Presidency and has left many voluntaryists scratching their heads. You can find the entire interview HERE and below. The rest of the interview is very indicative of the Statist mindset. Most Statists have never really given any real thought to the legitimacy of “government” and when pressed to justify its legitimacy or acknowledge its obvious immorality, they will dodge, deflect, and change the subject to keep from having to admit that they were tricked (indoctrinated) into a world view that is obviously illegitimate, illogical and immoral. I actually get a good vibe from Dr. Phranq.. He seems like a good guy trapped into second hand ideas that were indoctrinated into him as a child and the pain of having to admit he was tricked by organized crime’s monopoly media and scripted political theatre into supporting/promoting a politician who has completely betrayed him and every other MAGA member and the conservative base of the Republican party.Transcript of the Rant with Fact-Check and EvidenceErnest Hancock Okay. So at the end, alright. Get your say, man. Give him what for. Tell him what’s up, we’ll let him respond.Etienne de la Boetie² Well, I should start out by saying that anybody who’s not familiar with my work. I am a voluntarist author. My book is called “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! In the book, I make the case that government, number one, is always illegitimate. It’s impossible to have a moral, logical, legitimate government. You can’t delegate a right if you don’t have a right yourself. If you don’t have the right to steal somebody’s money and call it taxation. If you don’t have the right to make up rules for everybody and call it laws, then you can’t delegate a right you don’t possess yourself to a representative to represent you in doing something that you do not have the ability to do yourself.Where did the government get the right to do all the things that it did if people can’t delegate, if we the people can’t delegate rights, we don’t have? The government has just essentially claimed them and is doing literally a Jedi mind trick on the population, where they force kids into these mandatory government schools and teach them before they’re old enough to really question the logic and morality of what they’re told. They’re running these unethically manipulative techniques that I break down in the book to get the kids into a religion of believing in the state and believing in the legitimacy, the necessity, and desirability of having a state.Just a couple more points on the complete impossibility of having a legitimate government. You cannot be bound by a social contract you didn’t sign. So if you didn’t personally sign the Constitution, you’re not bound by it. If Ernie and I can’t vote that Phranq gives us all of his money because there are two of us and one of him, then it doesn’t matter if there are three of us or four of us. Democracy is the moral equivalent of gang rape or lynching. And so “Government” really has been—it’s been the biggest scam in all of human history. And so number one, to have the Trump report for ten years and promote the legitimacy of something that’s obviously illegitimate on its face, number one, that’s dumb. It’s frustrating to have to listen to it because I’m a big fan of Declare Your Independence. I’m a big fan of Ernie’s work and everything like that. I just had to sit there and shake my head and go, I cannot believe that they’re pretending that this television performer, this clown is legitimate. Now, that’s my question.Ernest Hancock “We” “We” you’re throwing me under the bus here?Etienne de la Boetie² Point number one is that the government is illegitimate on its face. And then point number two is that everything that’s going on in Washington, DC—whether you believe—so I’m a voluntarist. I don’t believe in the legitimacy, the necessity, or the desirability of having a government. But even if you believe in having a government, “a strict constitutional government bound down by the chains of the Constitution”, almost everybody that has two neurons rubbed together should recognize by now that the government in Washington DC is being run as a criminal enterprise. Period. End of story. There are trillions of dollars that are missing from the Pentagon.Ernest Hancock, Are you saying the United States federal government is as bad, or worse, than Minnesota? Is that what you’re saying?Etienne de la Boetie² 100%. It’s thousands of times because we’re talking about trillions of dollars. We’re talking about trillions of dollars that are missing from the Pentagon alone, somewhere over $16,000,000,000,000 [Etienne: $21,000,000,000,000] according to the work of Dr. Mark Skidmore and Catherine Austin Fitts. Their website is MissingMoney.Solari.com, but you can put in Dr. Mark Skidmore and you can find the scholarship behind that. But there’s over a trillion missing from HUD, the post office, Amtrak, and other government programs that can account for over a trillion dollars. And then there’s been, according to an investigation Bloomberg did, over $16,000,000,000,000 [Etienne Note: $29 Trillion according to the Levy Institute at Bard College] that was handed to private banks and private companies like AIG and others during the TARP and the TALF and the Maiden Lane bailouts.It was funny because I wanted to get my facts and figures straight last night because I knew I was going to be on here making this point. And Wikipedia does not talk about this at all. They pretend it was the original $750,000,000,000. They don’t get into it. And so that’s one of the reasons why we create a Liberator flash drive because all the stuff that’s going down the memory hole about where all this money went, we make it uncensorable. One of the things that we have on our flash drive of freedom: The Liberatoris we’ve got some of the totals of not only did they give the banks trillions of dollars in these bailouts—private companies that already have an exorbitant privilege to create money out of thin air using fractional reserve banking where they’re stealing the value out of everybody else’s money. And that’s what’s paying for this monopolization of the media, and that’s why Trump’s on every channel, and that’s why there’s so much controlled opposition because they have got unlimited funds because they’re stealing TRILLIONS with a T.Trump is an Actor! – WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, center, held by “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, having his hair cut off by Donald Trump, left, and Bobby Lashley, right, after Lashley defeated Umaga at Wrestlemania 23 at Ford Field in Detroit on April 1, 2007.But the second point is that this is obviously a criminal enterprise, and Trump has obviously been installed as an actor playing the role of the president, playing the role of a billionaire. He’s probably made money now. But just as a reminder, if we go back in time, Trump declared bankruptcy four times, [Etienne: Actually six] and in his last major bankruptcy in 1993 [Etinne: Actually 1991], he was actually bailed out by Rothschild Inc. And the bankruptcy restructuring unit at Rothschild Inc at the time was run by Wilbur Ross, who ended up being installed as the Secretary of Commerce in the first Trump administration. So the Rothschilds are behind the state of Israel. So you’ve got a Zionist entity that bails Trump out, has him by the short hairs, and then he is given a television show. Phranq, out of curiosity, do you know who Trump’s theatrical agent is?Phranq Tamburri The actual agent. No. I do not. Go ahead.Etienne de la Boetie² You’ve been doing this for ten years, you haven’t figured out who Trump’s theatrical agent is?Phranq Tamburri NBC?Etienne de la Boetie² Trump is an actor for The Apprentice, and his theatrical agent is a gentleman by the name of Ari Emanuel. Ari Emanuel is a Zionist. He’s the brother of Rahm Emanuel, who was the Chief of Staff during the Obama administration and ended up being Mayor of Chicago. There’s a third brother named Ezekiel Emanuel, who’s a eugenicist, who thinks that everybody ought to die at age 75 and wrote a book about it, and he was on Biden’s COVID task force.Phranq Tamburri Wait, real quick. Why don’t you define “theatrical agent”? Since you’re coining that term, either that’s an official position that he hired, or that’s your interpretation. So he’s in the so-called phone book under theatrical agent? What do you mean by theatrical agent?Etienne de la Boetie² He’s one of the most famous theatrical agents in Hollywood.Phranq Tamburri Well, I know who he is. It’s just he doesn’t go by theatrical agent, but yes.Etienne de la Boetie² In fact, he is supposedly the theatrical agent that the movie/show Entourage is about. There’s a character in there that’s based on him [Ari Gold]. He’s one of the most famous super agents in Hollywood, and he was behind the scripting that gave Trump the gravitas to essentially run for president. So they took a guy who had four bankruptcies and had to be bailed out by the Rothschilds, and then they created a television show about him that made him look like a competent businessman after four bankruptcies and having to be bailed out and restructured multiple times, and who I believe they’ve literally had to keep afloat because he’s so incompetent. The New York Times investigation linked below, “Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father,” exposed that Trump has lied about starting with just a $1M dollar investment from his father and actually has received over $400M. The investigation was published in October 2018, won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting.He did not start with a million dollars. He was handed Fred Trump’s empire, $400,000,000 empire, and then ran it into the ground four times and had to be bailed out.If you watch the television show that they created for him to give him the gravitas to be elevated to the presidency, because they had him by the short hairs. And what I mean by the short hairs is number one, they had him because they bailed him out, and number two, he’s obviously in on the Epstein thing. They’ve obviously got him in compromising positions. He’s Epstein’s best friend. And so the Mossad has had this guy by the short hairs because I guarantee you they’ve got incriminating stuff on him through the Epstein files. So a guy that is a 100% pure puppet gets elevated and made to look like a successful businessman. He’s given the media training. He’s given the artificial gravitas.Etienne Note: It is actually over $424 million when you include 2016 campaign donations.Then he’s elevated into the presidency with hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars of Zionist money. Right now, it’s over $400,000,000 just from the Adelsons over the two election cycles. So you’ve got a Zionist theatrical agent. You’ve got a Zionist funder, and now he’s transferring—he cranked it up. We were giving 3,000,000,000 a year to Israel. Now we’ve given over $20,000,000,000 a year! We’ve given Palantir technology. We have helped the genocide of the Palestinian people by giving them the targeting software, Lavender, that Palantir helped develop, which allows the Israeli military to know when an entire family is in one room so they can get everybody with one Hellfire or one guided munition in one shot.Peter Thiel (2nd from right) co-founded Palantir Technologies with three Jewish entrepreneurs, Alex Karp (3rd from left and incumbent CEO), Stephen Cohen and Joe Lonsdale in 2013. The name Palantir is driven from Tolkien’s masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings which means “seeing-stone”. Here they are meeting with the Israeli military who is a customer. There is an obvious quid pro quo between the people who installed him, created his legend, and had him by the short hairs. Bill Clinton and a woman are seen in this image from the Epstein estate, released by the Department of Justice [Handout/US Justice Department via Reuters]In Washington DC, what Epstein was doing is known as a “brownstone operation”. So they had swept him up in a brownstone operation. They’ve obviously got incriminating photographs and video of him. They’ve obviously saved him from bankruptcy. They’ve obviously installed him in the presidency with $400,000,000 just from the Adelsons. And now there’s an obvious quid pro quo of him transferring billions of dollars to Israel. What’s the organized crime of government? These are just organized crime families. The US government’s organized crime, the Israeli government’s organized crime. I just did an Israeli talk show two nights ago, where we talked about the fact that Israel is running the same unethically manipulative techniques on their population as we’re running on our population to get them to go along with tricking them into having a ruling class, tricking them into government is legitimate even though it’s obviously not. It’s not logical. It’s not ethical. It’s not moral.They’re running this game where there’s this obvious quid pro quo where they’re spending hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars through AIPAC, to install congressional critters in the House and in the Senate and in the presidency. And then those congressional critters and executive branch moles then transfer—in the Trump administration alone, $20 plus billion that you can put a number on. There’s probably more that’s in military intelligence and help from Iran. If you included us striking Iran and striking Israel’s enemies in Yemen and in Iran, it would probably be way more than that. And now we’re threatening Iran, which is a policy where the number one beneficiary is Israel. I’ve been frustrated because, Frank, it doesn’t seem like you can figure this out.Phranq Tamburri Figure what out?Etienne de la Boetie² That organized crime Israel has installed a front man into the presidency that is transferring billions of dollars and enabling the genocide of the Palestinian people, and is literally stealing—has turned the White House into a private thing for his family that he’s personally benefiting in the most corrupt ways that have ever been seen in the presidency.Phranq Tamburri For Israel? Is that what you’re saying?Etienne de la Boetie² For Israel and for his own personal building up his own personal wealth in crypto scams and in real estate scams, and what’s going on with the Trump resort in a hotel in Saudi Arabia, and what’s going on with receiving $400,000,000 jets.

FiveMemeFri – US Carrier Strike Group & Aviation Assets Threaten Iran for Israel

+ The Unethically Manipulative Techniques That Made/Keep MAGA a CultDear Subscribers,Our main story this week is a video by Larken Rose exposing how Donald Trump supporters (I.E. The MAGA Movement) fit the textbook definition of a cult for continuing to support Trump after he has violated every single tenet of the conservative movement. From “Take the guns first, go through due process second” to masked goons on the street (acclimating the public to masked goons on the street) to taxes disguised as Tariffs to endless wars and continuing regime change operations, Trump has, quite literally, spit in the face of the conservative movement violating almost every single campaign promise.Additionally, it has become painfully obvious to anyone that isn’t delusional that he is obviously implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. In the Epstein scandal, we have what appears to be an Israeli Mossad “Brownstone Operation” to blackmail powerful and influential people by photographing and filming them in sexual activity with minors. Trump was close friends with Epstein, he was bailed out of Bankruptcy by Rothschild, Inc, whose family lineage have been the #1 funders of Zionist Israel, his theatrical agent that created his “brand” as a successful businessman (even after four bankruptcies) with “The Apprentice” was Zionist Ari Emmanuel, his campaign was funded by Zionists to the tune of over four hundred million dollars since 2016, and now he is transferring Billions of dollars to Israel and enabling their genocide of the Palestinians. Seems obvious to me that the organized crime bankers behind organized crime Israel have installed a puppet into the US Presidency who is transferring over $20 billion in dollars, weapons and software (Palantir) being used in genocide, and waging/threatening war on Israel’s enemies in the region especially Yemen and Iran.Etienne Note: It is actually over $424 million when you include 2016 campaign donations.In my article accompanying the Larken Rose video, I “value-added” the video with some of the behavior psychology behind the indoctrinated cult-creation techniques we are exposing in my new book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many.I break down how the organized crime system using “government” to rob, control and tax-farm the American people are exploiting knowledge of behavioral psychology to indoctrinate the population with a pseudo-religion (Statism – The completely indoctrinated belief in having an easily-rigged “government” and ruling class).I specifically break down Technique #16 from To See the Cage is to Leave It:Exploiting Behavioral Psychology to Satisfy (Most) People’s Biological Desire for a Leader / Father Figure – Evolutionary leadership theory posits that most humans have an innate, biological desire for a leader as an evolutionary survival mechanism from our tribal past.Inter-generational organized crime leverages its understanding of behavioral psychology to offer the choice of two potential puppet leaders to become “Pope” of the indoctrinated Statist religion: a “Blue” Government Leader marketed to appeal to urban liberals, and a “Red” Government Leader designed to appeal to rural conservatives. Many people fall for the fake “Hobson’s Choice” (and Brute Force Manufactured Consensus) and begin to self-identify with their preferred “leader.”It is easy to manipulate a pre-determined outcome by having one leader presented by the monopoly media as worse than the other to trick the population into “voting for the lesser evil.”OTHERI am getting ready for our yearly sponsorship campaign. I am looking for some “heavy hitters” to help anchor the campaign with some matching donations and/or challenge grants. Please e-mail me at Etienne (at) ArtOfLiberty.org if you would like to help.

Journalist Clare Johnston recorded the progress that her parents made after only one year of weight training. Her 82-year old mother, Rhoda, who was diagnosed with osteoporosis in her 60’s could barely walk upright without support at 80. After doing the protocol, Rhoda radically improved her mobility, balance, and safety, and she’s also significantly improved her bone density by 6.6%. Strength training increases bone density and muscle building faster than other types of exercise.Clare’s father, Michael, 81, began deadlifting 66 pounds and increased the weight to 207 pounds by the end of the year.The training protocol takes 1.5 hours, twice per week. The message of the couple and the trainer is that you are never too old, and if you are alive, you can do it!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.

More than 600 companies have been working with Trump’s ICE, including businesses in nearly every state.Continue readingDOJ to Charge Don Lemon Under the ‘KKK Act’ for Inciting Church Raid (VIDEO)Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice, has announced that they plan to charge disgraced former CNN anchor Don Lemon under the Ku Klux Klan Act,by Cassandra MacDonaldThe impending charges stem from Lemon’s involvement when a group of anti-ICE activists stormed a church in Minneapolis, disrupting a religious service and intimidating worshippers, on Sunday.The Ku Klux Klan Act, formally known as the Enforcement Act of 1871, prohibits conspiracies to threaten, injure, or intimidate individuals to prevent them from exercising their constitutional rights, including the free exercise of religion.Continue readingIn 2026, ICE detainees are dying at an alarming rateby Judd Legum, Rebecca Crosby, and Noel SimsIn 2025, 32 people died in the custody of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). That figure was the largest in more than two decades and tied for the highest number of deaths among ICE’s detainee population ever.2026 is only three weeks old, and it’s already shaping up to be much worse. In just 21 days, at least six people have died in ICE custody.Last year, ICE did not have six in-custody deaths until April 25. The early trends put ICE on pace for 120 in-custody deaths in 2026.Continue readingDeloitte, a $74 billion cancer metastasized across Americaby BeaverConsulting feesYou were never meant to hear the name “Deloitte” and you were never meant to know that the government has wasted $74 billion by working with them. Quietly, Deloitte is one of the largest contractors “building” American government IT systems. Medicaid enrollment, unemployment insurance, child welfare case management, food assistance eligibility. When you interact with a state benefits system, theres a decent chance Deloitte built it.In building the 600m row (and growing) database for somaliscan, I sorted through literally millions of invoices, and once name continued to appear; Deloitte. California’s unemployment fraud disaster that cost the state $32 billion? Built by Deloitte. Tennessee kicking 250,000 children off Medicaid? Built by Deloitte. The billion dollar software project in California that got cancelled after spending the budget? Ding ding ding, DELOITTE.Continue reading“Daily News of The Week”6 Habits of Highly Successful Entrepreneursby Paul O’BrienThe research isn’t vague anymore. Decades of behavioral economics, psychology, and entrepreneurship studies have piled up enough evidence to stop pretending success is random. Whether someone builds alone or inside a founding team, outcomes track to a small set of repeatable human behaviors. Put the right skills and habits inside a young organization and it compounds. Miss them, and no amount of hustle theater, demo day pitches, or motivational posters saves you.That matters because we finally know how to serve entrepreneurs better. I’ve written extensively about what separates founders who build durable companies from those who burn time and capital, pulling from personality research, venture outcomes, and ecosystem data. Academic work, including research coming out of Oxford University and aligned institutions, keeps reinforcing the same point: certain traits correlate strongly with entrepreneurial success, while others do not. Risk tolerance, openness, internal locus of control, and conscientious execution show up again and again in the data. Society is slowly learning that helping entrepreneurs doesn’t mean telling everyone they’re equally suited to founding a company. This means encouraging people to try, teaching them the methodology, and then helping those without certain traits partner with or co-found alongside people who have them.Continue readingBanks seize 367,000 homes as housing pain spreads across US… and it is about to get much worseEtienne Note: To understand the inherent criminality of the fractional reserve banking system creating money out of thin air and then stealing REAL assets when people can’t pay, see our previous article: The Credit River Case – First National Bank of Montgomery v. Daly Exposed That Banks Create Money out of THIN AIRBy Martha Williams, Us Real Estate & Consumer ReporterThe past year was difficult for homeowners — but experts warn that 2026 could be even more challenging.Foreclosures — when a bank or lender takes back a home after missed mortgage payments — rose 14 percent from a year earlier.In total, 367,460 US properties faced foreclosure filings in 2025, meaning they were in some stage of being taken over by a lender, according to ATTOM’s data.Experts warn even more homes may be seized in 2026. ‘If the job market weakens, and it may very well, then we could unfortunately down the road see the increase in the foreclosure rate significantly accelerate,’ said economist Michael Szanto.Indeed, the outlook for the housing market — and the wider economy — is increasingly bleak. In total, the US added only around 584,000 jobs in 2025, making it the weakest year for job growth outside a recession since 2003.Continue readingA NEW WAY TO GET RID OF ALUMINUM, OUR WORST ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DISASTERCoauthors: Jeff Lioon, Jonathan RickertAluminum is the environmental toxin causing the most human harm—an international health emergency no one speaks about. Although mercury and other heavy metals are more toxic, aluminum is far more common. It is in the air and on every surface, a worldwide contaminant that is just about everywhere. Avoiding it is impossible. Aluminum’s foul properties are ruthlessly concealed by an industry that is knowingly murdering us for profit. Because of them, cleaning up our air and other aluminum sources will not happen any time soon.Continue readingFed set to buy $55B in Treasuries over 4 weeksby AlexContinue readingThe ‘America First’ Lie: How the U.S. Loots Nations, Installs Dictators, and Calls it ‘Democracy’by Matt AgoristThey told us they were “restoring order” in Argentina and “fighting terror” in the Middle East. Instead, they created a blueprint for mass murder, economic theft, and a perpetual state of war.If you listen closely to the wind blowing in from the Caribbean this week, you can smell it. It’s the distinct, metallic scent of “democracy” being delivered at Mach speeds—a fragrance composed of cordite, burning infrastructure, blood, and, most importantly, crude oil.Continue readingAmericans Bear Almost All the Cost of Trump Tariffs, Study Showsby Brendan MurrayBloomberg) — President Donald Trump’s duties on imported goods are paid almost entirely by American importers, their domestic customers and ultimately US consumers, a study from a German think tank concluded.“Foreign exporters did not meaningfully reduce their prices in response to US tariff increases,” a report released Monday by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy said. “The $200 billion surge in customs revenue represents $200 billion extracted from American businesses and households.”The study found that only about 4% of the tariff burden is shouldered by foreign firms, with a “near-complete” pass-through of 96% to US buyers that pay the levies and then must either absorb them or raise selling prices. Manufacturers and retailers are next in line in deciding whether they’ll pass along their higher costs or deal with tighter margins.Continue readingMillions of Iranians Can’t Be Wrongby Kevin BarrettThe people of Iran have spoken. Massive, gargantuan, humongous protests, “the biggest and most beautiful protests the world has ever seen” as Trump would say, have brought countless millions of Iranians into the streets to send the theocrats (and parliamentary representatives) who govern them a message:“We love you! We love the Islamic Republic! We despise the Operation Gladio terrorists Israel and the US keep sending to murder our police officers and vandalize our property.”The patriotic pro-Iran protests were orders of magnitude larger than the comparatively minuscule “please fix the economy” protests infiltrated by the CIA’s Gladio killers and US-taxpayer-financed vandals. The largest “anti-government” protest (which was actually not anti-government at all, just pro-Iranian-economy) brought perhaps 10,000 people AT MOST into streets in downtown Tehran on January 8. Western propaganda media grossly inflated that already-generous number, falsely reported that most protesters were anti-Islamic-Republic rather than pro-economy, and hallucinated various ridiculous numbers of poor, innocent, peaceful demonstrators being killed by police. In reality, CIA-Mossad paid killers were hunting and killing police officers, while rooftop Gladio snipers were shooting at both police and protesters, as during the Maidan Square coup of 2014 and so many similar operations. By the time it was over, more than 100 Iranian police had been murdered, and Western-paid vandals had caused millions of dollars worth of damage, without advancing their regime change agenda one iota.Continue readingA Deep Dive Into Butyrate — Your Gut’s Powerhouse Moleculeby Dr. Joseph MercolaButyrate is a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) produced by gut bacteria that ferment dietary fiber. It serves as essential fuel for colon cells and maintaining overall systemic healthAdequate fiber intake — around 30 grams daily — is crucial for butyrate production. Without it, your body burns stored fat and protein, creating disease-causing byproductsButyrate strengthens your gut barrier, preventing intestinal permeability that allows harmful substances to enter the bloodstream and trigger autoimmune responsesResearch shows butyrate improves insulin sensitivity, reduces diabetes risk, lowers bad cholesterol, prevents colorectal cancer, and supports brain healthBoost butyrate by eating fiber-rich foods, resistant starches, fermented foods and probiotics, while avoiding processed foods, managing stress, and limiting unnecessary antibioticsContinue readingThe Myth of a Self-Financed Fedby Mises Wire, Jonathan NewmanThe estimated costs of the Fed’s building renovation project have risen from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion. Hilariously, the Fed admits that one of the factors for the revised costs is “differences over time between original estimates and actual costs of materials, equipment, and labor.” Translation: “Looks like we’re not so good at forecasting and stabilizing future price inflation.”At this point, extravagant government boondoggles are barely newsworthy. A few people batted their eyelashes last week at Trump’s proposal to expand military funding by half a trillion dollars but everyone has forgotten about it now because it was last week and attention spans are measured in seconds these days.But the Fed’s building renovations are causing more of a stir. Senator Tim Scott questioned Powell about it last June, and now the Department of Justice has issued subpoenas about Powell’s answers. Powell responded with an uncharacteristically blunt message, saying that the DOJ’s actions are a pretext—that this is all a part of a plot, led by Trump, to diminish Fed independence in its monetary policy decisionsContinue readingAI-powered “RoboCops” take up traffic duties in Chinese citiesby Brian WangThe total wealth that has left California is now $1 trillion.California had $2 trillion of billionaire wealth just a few weeks ago. Now, 50% of that wealth has left – taking their income tax revenue, sales tax revenue, real estate tax revenue and all their staffs (and their salaries and income taxes) with them.In other words, by starting this ill conceived attempt at an asset tax, the California budget deficit will explode. And we still don’t know if the tax will even make the ballot. If the measures passes, it could be held up with lawsuit challenges.California billionaires were reliable tax payers – 13.3% every year.Unless this ballot initiative is pulled, we will not stop the billionaire exodus. With no rich people left in California, the middle class will have to foot the bill.Continue readingMore than 8,000 US chain stores closed up shop in 2025 — heralding a ‘retail apocalypse’by Allison LaxTwo big-name retailers have already announced store closures just two weeks into 2026 — and experts warn that the retail-shuttering roundup is only going to get more bleak.Household name department store Macy’s announced last week that it was shutting down 14 “underproductive” stores, while Saks Global group filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday.The hard-hitting blows to the two megastores come after more than 8,000 chain retail stores across different companies occurred in 2025, including Rite Aid, Joann and Party City, according to data shared by Coresight Research to the Daily Mail.“America has been over-retailed,” said Ward Kampf, president of Northwood Retail. “We built and built, focusing on growth, expansion, and development, and now the focus is on profitability, performance and margins.”Continue readingCarney’s Beijing Gambit Triggers Trump Warning In The Form Of A Big Beautiful Mapby Tyler DurdenAfter over the weekend warning that he would impose a 10% tariff on imports from several European countries in response to their opposition to his Greenland takeover plan, later threatening the tariff could be raised to 25% within weeks if those governments fail to fall in line – President Trump has once again escalated, this time with an overnight Truth Social post of a map showing not just Greenland as part of the US but Canada too.The image features President Trump addressing European leaders in the Oval Office. In the background is a map with Canada, Greenland, Venezuela and Cuba shown them as part of the United States, draped over by American flag colors.The image is actually an edited version of a real photograph from when various leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen – were in Washington, DC in August 2025, for talks focused on Ukraine peace.Continue readingDark KievEtienne Note: See the next story down as well.The image is a visualization of a massive Russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine that occurred overnight on January 9, 2026.

The group, and its media arm, the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) have become the go-to group of experts for Western media, and are the source of many of the most inflammatory claims and shockingly high casualty figures reported in the press. In the past week alone, their assertions have provided much of the basis for stories in CNN, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, ABC News, Sky News, and The New York Post, among others. And in a passionate plea for leftists to support the protests, Owen Jones wrote in The Guardian Tuesday that HRAI are a “respected” group whose death toll proclamations are “probably significant underestimates.”Continue reading12 Ways to Switch to Reusable Stuff in a Disposable Worldby Daisy LutherWe live in a convenience-driven society. Fast food businesses thrive while home cooking flounders. Trips to the pharmacy can now be undertaken without getting out of your car, using the handy drive-through. Standard cleaning products are quickly being overtaken by disposable items you toss in the trash after one use. We’ve been brainwashed by the marketing companies to believe that the simplest things are wildly inconvenient, and that in our time-crunched society we must pay for shortcuts.All of this convenience has a high price tag. Not only are you spending money unnecessarily at the check-out counter for all of that convenience, but the planet is getting buried under mountains of rubbish. The average American produces 1600 pounds of garbage per year.Did you ever stop to think about how many disposable things you buy? We do our shopping monthly instead of weekly, and this makes it a lot more noticeable on our bill when we load up with things that will be thrown out. I just checked the price, and a 6-pack of good-quality paper towels would add about $15 to my bill. If you’re in a position in which every penny counts, that $15 could be buying you a necessity like food. Even if you have no concern about the landfills, you probably want to save money, right? Pennies each week add up to dollars each month, and hundreds of dollars over the course of a year.Continue readingSurging “Education” Spending Squeezing Homeowners Outby Alex NewmanSo-called “education” is raising property taxes, forcing citizens—especially those on fixed incomes—to sell homes. The indoctrination scheme isn’t just harming youth; it’s destroying private property.With government spending on “public education” ballooning, surging property tax rates to fund it in some states are forcing homeowners to cut back on living expenses or even to sell their homes — especially those on fixed incomes such as retirees. Vermont is ground zero but it is hardly alone.Government “education” is by far the largest driver of increased property taxes each year. With the whole national system costing over $1 trillion per year, almost half of that in most states is coming from local property taxes. And as costs of government “education” skyrocket, so do property taxes.Continue readingBait-and-Switch: Victims of the LA Wildfires Find That Local Government Wants Them GoneEtienne Note: I am adding a Flashback Video of Adam Corolla’s take on “rebuilding under the “9 Angry Lesbians Running the Coastal Commission” from our previous coverage: 10 Things You Should Know About The LA Fires + Best CA Fire Memes + Adam Corolla’s Take on Rebuilding Under the “9 Angry Lesbians Running the Coastal Commission”by Mises Wire, William L. AndersonAs our relative walked through what had been her family home, she began to cry as she recorded the destruction. Her place was one of the thousands burned down a year ago in the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles. Other relatives living in Altadena had to flee the Eaton Fire at about the same time, although their home was not damaged. Likewise, the childhood home of my wife’s cousins was also consumed in that same fire.Our relatives were just a few people affected by these two fires, which together destroyed almost 17,000 homes. In a place known historically for wildfires, this was almost unprecedented in its destruction, yet both fires could have been prevented had people in authority simply cared to act. Unfortunately, California governance once again has caught the people of LA both coming and going, as the cause of the Palisades Fire was due to deliberate decisions by authorities to protect so-called endangered plants instead of the residents of the city. After the fires, government officials have made it nearly impossible for people to rebuild.Continue readingLeaked Doc: Homeland Security’s Domestic Terror Obsessionby Ken KlippensteinDespite Donald Trump’s fixation with Greenland and the suggestion that military action is imminent, the 2026 Homeland Threat Assessment, a draft of which was leaked to me, focuses instead on domestic terrorism.The annual assessment, which has been prepared since 2020, purports to offer a holistic assessment to threats to the Western Hemisphere. These assessments have consistently focused on what you imagine: southern border security, the drug trade, immigration, and critical infrastructure protection in the United States.But this year’s assessment, marked “For Official Use Only” and not yet released to the public, identifies violent extremism on the part of American citizens as the priority and greatest threat.One phrase in particular stands out to me as new: potential terrorism based upon “class-based or economic grievances.” (The term has not appeared in any previous assessment.)Continue readingThe CDC Whistleblower from VAXXED Has Been Promoted to Lead Childhood Vaccine Adverse Events Researchby Amber BakerA senior researcher at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) William Thompson, PhD, who previously came forward in 2014 as a whistleblower claiming that the agency omitted statistically significant data related to MMR (measles-mumps-rubella)vaccine risks, has been promoted to oversee federal research into adverse experiences in childhood affecting long-term health outcomes for children. STAT News reported Thompson’s appointment in late December 2025.1Dr. Thompson, a longtime CDC scientist who advised Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on vaccine policy has been promoted to a GS-15 position, the highest civilian rank in federal service, with supervisory authority. In his new role, Thompson will help oversee research related to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), a category that includes traumatic and destabilizing experiences such as abuse, neglect, substance use in the home, food insecurity, housing instability, and other stressors known to affect long-term health outcomes.1Continue readingFury as Amazon Ring Cameras Are Hooked Up to ICE SystemEtienne Note: We make the case that Amazon is a “Control of Perception” company overfunded to dominate books, streaming, on-line retail, hosting, and other commerce while simultaneously spying on the public with Alexa and Ring doorbell camera that have been quietly “wired” into thousands of police stations, FBI “Fusion Centers” and now ICE in our Five Meme Friday Article: If you spin the “Z” Amazon spells: A Mason – Plus MORE evidence, that you can find here: https://fivememefriday.substack.com/p/fivememefri-how-to-get-our-bookBy Joe WilkinsAs US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents wreak havoc on American communities, big tech companies have been making themselves indispensable to the increasingly tyrannical state.Among them is Amazon subsidiary Ring, the company behind those AI doorbell cameras that have exploded in popularity over the last few years. Back in October, Ring announced that its devices would soon be looped into a network of Flock AI surveillance cameras. That network, an investigation by 404 Media found, has been available to local and federal police and enforcement agencies like ICE — leaving many worried that their Ring doorbell cams are now feeding into a government panopticon.Continue readingMapped: How Rent Prices Vary Across Major Cities WorldwideBy Niccolo Conte Article/Editing: Bruno Venditti Graphics/Design: Joyce MaSee visuals like this from many other data creators on our Voronoi app. Download it for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.Key TakeawaysNew York is the most expensive city in the world for renting a three-bedroom apartment in the city center in 2025.Rent costs vary widely by region, with North America and Western Europe dominating the top end.Rising housing costs remain a defining issue for cities around the world.

Or AIPAC is. AIPAC is a dirty word among Democrats because it refuses to criticize the Netanyahu government.California Governor Gavin Newsom and Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner are both refusing AIPAC donations. In New York City, progressive Democratic candidates are primarying two sitting congressmen, Ritchie Torres and Dan Goldman, and making the incumbent’s donations from AIPAC an issue.And not just Democrats. In announcing her resignation from Congress, the Republican firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that she takes no money from AIPAC– and “condemns Israeli genocide” — in contrast to Donald Trump, who has gotten over $230 million in pro-Israel money, and backs Israeli genocide to the hilt.Continue readingThe Central Banking Cartel Is Bleeding Us Dry And They Are Using The Statist Religion As The Hypodermic Needleby Gavin MounseyWe were raised to believe that taxes are the benevolent government’s way of caring for and protecting us with infrastructure, military, education and “health” care. We are told that this part of a “social contract” in which the state provides security, infrastructure, and collective purpose in exchange for taxation and civic participation.It`s all a big fat lie.Income tax was introduced as a “temporary wartime measure” and the government promised it would never keep taking people’s money like that just because it has the muscle to do so, yet here we are a hundred years later still paying a huge portion of our hard earned money from each paycheck.Continue readingThe Great Mind F*ck: Donald Trump was the star of the technocrats’ debutante ballby Collapse LifeThey say actions speak louder than words. That aphorism was palpable at the World Economic Forum in Davos this year, the moment Donald J. Trump — president of the United States and (arguably) the world’s greatest villain — appeared on the stage.First, the audience clapped politely. Then they rose into a standing ovation. They cheered and lifted their phones to record the scene the way people do when they know they’re witnessing something they will want to share with others later.Continue readingMilitary Buildup In The Middle East Continues, Including What Trump Describes As A “Big Flotilla” (Updated)by Howard AltmanThe U.S. is continuing to build up its military presence in the Middle East ahead of a possible attack on Iran. The USS Abraham Lincoln and its Carrier Strike Group (CSG) is now in the Indian Ocean, a U.S. Navy official told The War Zone on Thursday. The CSG was in the South China Sea until U.S. President Donald Trump ordered it moved west. In addition, more cargo jets and aerial refueling tankers have arrived in the region. Trump on Thursday said a large naval presence is heading to the region.These movements come as Trump has threatened to strike Iran over its brutal treatment of anti-government protesters, which has resulted in thousands of deaths.“We have a big flotilla going in that direction, and we’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters Thursday afternoon. “We have a big force going toward Iran. I’d rather not see anything happen, but we’re watching them very closely.Continue readingDonald Trump Warns of ‘Armada’ Heading To IranBy Brendan Cole and John FengPresident Donald Trump has touted a “massive” naval force was on its way to Iran in a warning to the Islamic Republic’s rulers, who are facing their biggest protests for years.Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Thursday “we have an armada.

A giddy 6/8 Irish jig that turns a global headline into a roaring Irish pub song packed with satire, sing-alongs, and spilled stout. Set in a warm, chaotic pub where the fiddle skips faster than common sense, Greenland Is Not Fer Sale tells a ridiculous tale of tantrums, nursery-rhyme logic, and the unstoppable wisdom of pub laughter. With skippin’ fiddle, cheeky tin whistle, tappin’ bodhrán, puffin’ accordion, and a crowd that won’t stay quiet, this Irish drinking song escalates from playful mockery into full cartoon chaos. The song leans hard into Irish folk humour — where exaggeration is tradition, ridicule is rhythmic, and even the silliest sulk can fuel a chorus. Sung in a theatrical Munster accent and built for foot-stompin’ sessions, this one’s made to be shouted back across the bar.libertarian Intentional Community RoundupFree State Project (NH) UpdateAnother day, another New Hampshire W!Defend the Guard ensures that state national guard troops cannot be deployed unless Congress has declared war.Campus Carry just made it out of committee!

Jorge Cálix of the Liberal Party / Partido Liberal de Honduras, PLH narrowly defeated the ruling party’s candidate backed by President Xiomara Castro (Libre Party). The election ended 12 years of leftist rule under the Libre Party and their open hostility to Prospera.Cálix was sworn in January 2026, promising a more centrist and investor‑friendly approach, emphasizing economic recovery, job creation, and stability. During the transition period (Dec 2025), Cálix publicly described Próspera as an “innovative but mishandled initiative” and called for “dialogue instead of confrontation.”He has indicated willingness to review the legal framework rather than erase it outright, stating that investors need legal certainty. In early January 2026, Cálix told La Tribuna and El Heraldo:“Honduras must honor its commitments, even as we reform, not tear down. We seek to ensure that ventures like Próspera benefit the Honduran people and respect sovereignty.”All of this is favorable for Prospera and while the outcome of the arbitration and potential $10 billion (USD) judgement isn’t expected until June-Sept 2026, the judgement will impact the current incoming administration so there is pressure for them to settle the case in the coming year.Prospera is HiringSenior Tech LeadOwn and build all Próspera softwareGovernance OperationsRun the ‘government’ machine – operational and legal in nature.Real Estate DirectorReal Estate Partner Lead LawyerThey are also looking to partner with entrepreneurs wanting to build a community layer in a relevant niche as an L2 partner.Prospera is offering a referral bonus of $7,500 for any candidate who’s hired and remains with them for at least four months so let em know you saw this in Five Meme Friday.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.

Larken Rose – Yes, Trump’s MAGA Movement Is Now Absolutely a CULT

Larken Rose – Yes, Trump’s MAGA Movement Is Now Absolutely a CULT

Larken’s Short 17 Minute Video Echoes our Work on Indoctrinated Cult Creation Using Monopoly Media & Behavioral Psychology Etienne Note: Check the bottom of this article for the opportunity to get three Larken Rose books + BOTH of my books, including To See the Cage is to Leave It, in our “Everything Bundle” with a Special Offer of Signed High-Resolution Hard Copies for “Going Paid” at the Founding Member level. Larken Rose – Yes, MAGA Is Now Absolutely a CULTLarken’s Short 17 Minute Video Echoes our Work on Indoctrinated Cult Creation Using Monopoly Media & Behavioral Psychology by Etienne de la Boetie2Larken Rose did a short video breaking down that case that the MAGA movement and conservatives that support Trump are absolutely, positively a CULT. This echoes my own work in my new book: To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many, where I break down 25 unethically manipulative techniques the organized crime “government” and monopoly media are using surreptitiously on the population that could be best described as CLASSIC, TEXTBOOK “CULT INDOCTRINATION TECHNIQUES.” One of the techniques that I break down in detail on page 40: Technique # 16: Exploiting Behavioral Psychology to Satisfy (Most) People’s Biological Desire for a Leader / Father Figure Evolutionary leadership theory posits that most humans have an innate, biological desire for a leader as an evolutionary survival mechanism from our tribal past. Inter-generational organized crime leverages its understanding of behavioral psychology to offer the choice of two potential puppet leaders to become “Pope” of the indoctrinated Statist religion: a “Blue” Government Leader marketed to appeal to urban liberals, and a “Red” Government Leader designed to appeal to rural conservatives. Many people fall for the fake “Hobson’s Choice” (and Brute Force Manufactured Consensus) and begin to self-identify with their preferred “leader.” It is easy to manipulate a pre-determined outcome by having one leader presented by the monopoly media as worse than the other to trick the population into “voting for the lesser evil.” The “leaders” might appear different on the surface, BUT will be completely in “Lock Step” on issues important to the owners. To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the ManyNew Book Exposes Trillion-Dollar Government & Hollywood Psychological OperationThe Art of Liberty Foundation, a start-up voluntaryist public policy foundation, announces a new book, To See the Cage is to Leave It—25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many. The latest book, by Art of Liberty Foundation founder Etienne de la Boetie2, exposes that the government and Hollywood have been running a multi-generational, trillion-dollar psychological operation on the population to indoctrinate them into accepting a ruling class, confiscatory taxation, and inflationary fractional reserve currency issued by private banks.Etienne and James Corbett discuss To See the Cage is to Leave It on The Corbett ReportThe book details 25 unethically manipulative techniques the “government” and monopoly media have been secretly using on the population, ranging from a hidden curriculum in their mandatory schools and scouting to the secret placement of propaganda in over 1,000+ movies and 1,000+ television shows. These techniques include subliminal messages and product placement of the American flag “anchored” to moments of high-positive emotion during the “programming”.Technique #1 is mandatory government schools running the Prussian model of education to indoctrinate children that “government” is legitimate, desirable and necessary before they are old enough to evaluate the logic and morality of that assertion.The goal of the program has been to get free and independent human beings to self-identify as “Americans” (or “Canadians,” “Russians,” Israelis, etc. as every “government” is, essentially, running the same playbook) and be tricked into a pseudo-religion calledStatism, the belief in having a “government,” using what can only be called classic, textbook “cult-indoctrination techniques.”Statism is the completely indoctrinated belief in the legitimacy, desirability and necessity of having a “government” even though there is no ironclad law of the universe that “government” is legitimate, desirable or necessary.The book posits that there is an inter-generational organized crime system centered around banking and central-banking that has been controlling the information the public receives about the legitimacy, desirability and necessity of “government” using mandatory schools and monopoly media to “legalize” fractional reserve banking and trillions of dollars in “bailouts” and “stimulus” that is handed to the controllers even though the system is inherently unfair, inflationary, and secretly stealing the value from everyone else’s money.This organized crime system has been using the exact same techniques used by disingenuous religions and cults to trick the population into a worldview where they are easily robbed, controlled, and trapped in a no-win game of rigged elections where the same interests secretly own both parties.The book includes multiple videos exposing the techniques that can be clicked-to-play in the ePub version and QR codes that can be scanned while reading the physical book to bring up the companion material.The award-winning documentary Theatres of War exposes the Department of Defense and intelligence agency involvement in more than 1,000 movies and 1,000 television shows. Click Image Above or Scan QR Code to Watch Short 1:51 Trailer.This short 8:32 example video shows how the American flag was “product-placed” an astonishing 469 times in just twelve Michael Bay movies, including Bad Boys, Armageddon, and multiple Transformers movies, as an example of one of the techniques covered in the book. Click the image above or scan the QR code to watch.The book also exposes a dozen+ sub-techniques used on Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Police and Military to indoctrinate obedience to hierarchical command and control and, ultimately, to get the police and military to set their morality aside and use violence on peaceful people for the “church leadership” of the indoctrinated cult.During “basic training,” military recruits are forced to undergo a variety of unethically manipulative techniques, including verbal and physical abuse, excessive stress, degradation and humiliation, sleep deprivation, isolation and the artificial conformity of the uni-form (single form) and shaved heads replacing individual physical appearance with a group appearance further reinforcing the artificially created group dynamic. The services are notorious for inciting peer pressure and collective punishment, including “blanket parties” where the non-conforming are beaten with improvised flails (soap bars or locks in a towel/sock). The Marines take the doors off the stalls in the bathroom so recruits can’t have even a moment of privacy to reflect on what is being done to them or the fact that they are committing to murder whoever the church leadership tells them to. They are injected with debilitating “vaccines” and forced to sing march cadences that normalize murder, among other techniques.Some of these techniques used in government-affiliated youth programs, including the Young Marines, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, and JROTC include the uniform (Single Form) and head-shaving, which replaces an individual’s appearance with an artificial, psychologically-reinforcing group appearance.Hare Krishnas, Rajneeshpuram members, Heaven’s Gate, Jim Jones’s People’s Temple Members, and Unification Church Members (Moonies) are other organizations that asked adherents to suspend individuality and shave their heads and/or assume the uni-form.Another technique exposed by the book is that the monopoly media has been using trick photography to give the “President” and “Church Leadership” the appearance of holiness through subliminal halos and/or photographing them in front of religious iconography.The Artificially Indoctrinated Holy Symbol of the American Flag is Manipulatively Woven Into the Burial Ceremony of the Deceased – A trick to get the participants to associate the memory of their beloved deceased with the flag, even though it is the policies of the ”church leadership” that are frequently responsible for their deaths.Paid-For Flag Worship Woven Into Stadium Events and Sports – Weaving flag worship ceremonies into stadium events is another type of unethically manipulative product placement of the flag and “Anchoring” technique. Everyone loves a football or baseball game, so the organized crime system pays teams, previously as much as $53 million a year, to add flag-worshipping events and military jet flyovers to important games to “anchor” the excitement and good times of an outdoor event to the flag and ”government.” The fact that the US “government” is paying the teams to participate proves it is artificial.Interestingly, the book breaks down the idolatry of Statism, where the hidden curriculum of the mandatory government schools, monopoly media, scouting, and police/military training circumvents the objective morality of the Judeo-Christian tradition with the subjective morality of indoctrinated Statism.This is a page from To See the Cage Is to Leave It exposing technique #20, where middle school children are taken to “Mecca” (Washington, DC), where they are taken to the “Cathedral” of the Capital (that looks like the Vatican… for a Reason!), and the “Temples” (Monuments”) where they are shown the “Deities” (Lincoln, Washington), where the environment is kept artificially hushed and reverent.They will be shown the “Holy Document” of the Con-stitution, which is kept preserved in helium under bullet-proof glass similar to other religious relics, in an atmosphere reminiscent of a church or cathedral.The book has a good news message: We don’t really need “government!” Everything the “government” does would be done better, faster, and cheaper by the free market without the waste, fraud, abuse, extortion, and unethically manipulative indoctrination. The book is dedicated to all the good people working for the “government” in the bureaucracy, police and military and features specific tips for helping to reduce the harm the “government” is causing in the world.The book breaks down how the military, especially, is NOT bound by the oath they took because of a well-recognized legal precedent known as fraudulent inducement. Because the organized crime “government” lied to the population about the legitimacy, desirability and necessity of “government”, used unethically manipulative indoctrination and propaganda techniques in mandatory schools and through monopoly media, and because “government” is illegitimate, illogical and immoral on its face, the military is not bound by the oath they took because there was “fraud in the inducement.”To See the Cage Is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many is available in a high-resolution hard cover version for $40, paperback for $19.84, and ePub for $7.77 at SeeTheCage.com There are five & ten copy “friends bundles” for spreading the word, and a $40 bundle with Etienne’s previous book “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! which offers a deeper dive into who is behind the program, the monopolization of the media.The book is available to bookstores and libraries through Ingram.
