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

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

A couple of weeks ago I did an article: The Fake Left-Right Paradigm – What is the REAL Political Spectrum the Monopoly Media is Hiding? where I broke down WHY the monopoly media misrepresents the REAL political spectrum and what the actual political spectrum looks like in the US. That meme went viral so now I am duplicating it for other countries. Can you help?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The case highlights a growing trend: organs being harvested from euthanasia victims.A report from The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and The Ottawa Hospital detailed the procedure. “Here we report the first case of successful cardiac transplantation after MAiD,” the medical team wrote. And, more ominously: “Provision of MAiD and death determination occurred in keeping with Canadian standards. Death was declared within seven minutes of initiating the MAiD protocol.”The Canadian was suffering from ALS (or Lou Gehrig’s disease), and had indicated his desire to donate his organs, but this is a “landmark case of a heart transplant following euthanasia.” According to the National Post: “The dead donor’s heart was removed, attached to a special machine that ‘reanimates’ or restarts the heart to keep blood flowing through the organs while keeping them warm, and then transported to Pittsburgh, where the transplant took place.”Continue readingHouse of South Carolina Judge Criticized by Trump Administration Burns Downby Miranda JeyaretnamPolice are investigating the cause of a fire that burned down the home of South Carolina Circuit Court judge Diane Goodstein, who had reportedly received death threats for weeks related to her work.State law enforcement is investigating the house fire on Edisto Beach, which began at around 11:30 a.m. E.T. on Saturday, sources told local news outlet FITSNews. Goodstein was reportedly not at home at the time of the fire, but at least three members of her family, including her husband, former Democratic state senator Arnold Goodstein, and their son, have been hospitalized with serious injuries.According to the St. Paul’s Fire District, which responded to the scene, the occupants had to be rescued via kayak. Law enforcement has not disclosed whether the fire is being investigated as an arson attack.Continue readingBlackRock & Blackstone Are Buying Local Power Companiesby Paul DraguGlobalist equity firms are scooping up local energy companies across the country — and it looks like they’re just getting started. The official reason is to invest in America’s artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.The buyouts are already triggering pushback and anxiety at the local level. The Associated Press recently reported that “private equity giants like BlackRock and Blackstone are buying local utilities to power AI-driven data centers, sparking ratepayer and regulator concerns.”Worries about rising power bills have been mounting in tandem with the buildup of AI data centers around the country. Earlier this year, the AP reported:Rising power bills are “something legislators have been hearing a lot about. … More people are speaking out at the public utility commission in the past year than I’ve ever seen before,” said Charlotte Shuff of the Oregon Citizens’ Utility Board, a consumer advocacy group. “There’s a massive outcry.Continue reading‘Military-Style’ ICE Raid On Chicago Apartment Building Shows Escalation in Trump’s CrackdownEtienne Note: This is the standing army the so-called “Founding Fathers” warned us about and simultaneously stuck us with….by Crime, News, dnyuz.comAt around 1 a.m. on Tuesday morning, armed federal agents rappelled from helicopters onto the roof of a five-storey residential apartment in the South Shore of Chicago, according to witnesses and local reporting. As they worked their way through the building, they kicked down doors, threw flash bang grenades, and rounded up adults and screaming children alike, detaining them in zip-ties and arresting dozens, they said.The military-style raid was part of a widespread immigration crackdown in the country’s third-largest city as part of the Trump Administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz,” which has brought a dramatic increase in federal raids and arrests.Continue readingThe Great Alzheimer’s Scam and The Proven Cures They’ve Buried for Billionsby A Midwestern Doctor• Alzheimer’s disease is commonly thought to result from abnormal plaque buildup in the brain that gradually destroys brain tissue. As a result, almost all Alzheimer’s research has been directed toward eliminating amyloid, even after the basis for much of this work was shown to stem from fraudulent research.•As such, despite decades of research and billions of dollars spent, this model has completely failed to produce useful results. The costly “groundbreaking” Alzheimer’s drugs only slightly slow dementia progression—at the expense of causing brain bleeding and swelling in over a quarter of those treated.Continue readingBibi has been Giving Money to Hamas. An Insidious Intelligence OperationBy Prof Michel ChossudovskyConfirmed by Israeli media. “Not Fake News”. Bibi has been giving money to Hamas“Hamas was treated as a partner to the detriment of the Palestinian Authority to prevent Abbas from moving towards creating a Palestinian State. Hamas was promoted from a terrorist group to an organization with which Israel conducted negotiations through Egypt, and which was allowed to receive suitcases containing millions of dollars from Qatar through the Gaza crossings.” (Times of Israel October 8, 2023, emphasis added)According to Netanyahu:“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” he [Netanyahu] told a meeting of his Likud party’s Knesset members in March 2019. “This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.” (Haaretz, October 9, 2023, emphasis added)Continue readingUS warned about possible attack on its embassy in Caracas, Venezuela saysBy Reuters, investing.comCARACAS (Reuters) -Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro said on Monday his government had warned Washington of a “false flag operation” by “extremist sectors of the local Venezuelan right” to plant explosives at the U.S. Embassy in Caracas.A false flag operation is when an act is carried out in such a way that a different party appears responsible.The White House and State Department did not immediately reply to requests for comment.Venezuela’s National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez originally reported the plot on Sunday in a message on his Telegram account, saying that the alleged plans had been reported to the United States through three different channels.He added that a European embassy was also alerted about the plans but did not specify which one. Venezuela severed relations with the United States in 2019, and U.S. diplomatic personnel left the headquarters that year.Continue readingTether Expands Hard Asset Strategy with More Bitcoin, Gold, and Landby Will IzuchukwuTether has purchased another 8,888 BTC, increasing its total on-chain holdings to 86,335 BTC. At current prices, that’s worth over $9.7 billion, according to CoinMarketCap.The company, however, claims its real stash is much larger. Tether reports holding over 100,000 BTC along with 50 tons of gold. It has also committed 15,000 BTC into Bitcoin XXI, a treasury management firm focused on Bitcoin strategies.This steady accumulation shows how Tether is doubling down on Bitcoin as a reserve asset. While most stablecoin issuers remain tied to U.S. Treasuries, Tether is openly diversifying into scarce digital and physical stores of value.Beyond Bitcoin, Tether has been moving aggressively into traditional hard assets. The company owns 70% of Adecoagro, a major agricultural group in South America.Continue readingWhy Libertarians, Conservatives, and Anarchists Should Get Alongby Christopher Cook[ Part 1 | Part 2 ]How many political ideologies have there been over the last 150 years?In all likelihood, a series of familiar words has begun flashing through your head. Communism. Fascism. Socialism. Conservatism. Libertarianism.Perhaps you drilled down a little further: Democratic socialism. Progressivism (America) and social democracy (Europe). Paleo-conservative, social conservative, fiscal conservative.Maybe you can describe some of the differences between Italian fascism and German Nazism, or between Marxism-Leninism and Maoism.Maybe you can list every single flavor of the libertarian rainbow, from most to least austere: Anarchist, minarchist, Objectivist, Public Choice School, Austrian (Misesian), Austrian (Hayekian), Chicago School…And so on.Every one of these ideological categories can be further subdivided, and there are plenty of others I didn’t mention. But what if I told you that at one level of analysis, there aren’t dozens of ideologies, but only two?Continue readingAmazon’s Ring Adds Facial Recognition to Home SecurityEtienne Note: Please see our article: Is Amazon A Mason? Making the Case that AMAZON is Part of Organized Crime´s Control of Perception Program at https://artofliberty.org/amason/by Sri Lanka GuardianAmazon’s Ring is introducing facial recognition for the first time on its home security doorbells and cameras, allowing users to identify friends, family, and neighbors. The feature, called “Familiar Faces,” will be optional for device owners and available starting in December, according to The Washington Post.While the technology aims to alert users when recognized individuals approach their homes, privacy advocates warn it could affect anyone who passes within range of a Ring device without consent. “They are not consenting to this,” said Calli Schroeder, senior counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center.Continue readingBook Review: Still Psyched Out by Kelly Patricia O’Mearaby The Solari ReportKelly Patricia O’Meara was one of the first courageous investigative journalists to document the dangerous drugging of our children with psychiatric medications, the absence of science to support doing so, and the relationship between highly drugged children and school shootings.Kelly’s articles for the Washington Times’ Insight Magazine started with “Guns & Doses” and ultimately led to her first blockbuster book, Psyched Out: How Psychiatry Sells Mental Illness and Pushes Pills that Kill, published in 2006. It was Kelly who first warned me in the 1990s about the drugging of our children. I remember sitting at Kelly’s dining room table and showing her how to calculate how much the large cap pharma stocks went up in value for each child they got on the “Ritalin treadmill.”Continue readingOSHA Admits It Told Healthcare Employers Not to Report COVID Vaccine Injuriesby Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D.The federal agency that oversees workplace safety exempted healthcare employers from reporting workers’ adverse reactions to mandated COVID-19 vaccines, according to a healthcare industry whistleblower who alerted The DefenderThe Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued the directive on June 28, 2021, to encourage vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic.The directive also stated that OSHA, a division of the U.S. Department of Labor, would not track workers’ COVID-19 vaccine adverse events — even though it acknowledged that the vaccines may cause injuries that would require employees to take time off work.OSHA continued to track reactions to other vaccines.A Labor Department official confirmed for The Defender that OSHA didn’t track COVID-19 vaccine injuries, and said those policies remained in place until February 2025.Continue readingRanked: The Top 50 Countries by Central Bank ReservesBy Marcus LuCentral bank reserves are considered critical for global economic stability, helping countries meet balance of payments obligations and buffer against economic or geopolitical shocksThe top 10 countries collectively hold $9.4 trillion in currency and gold reserves, accounting for over 60% of the global totalCentral bank reserves can be considered as a country’s financial shield, consisting of foreign currencies, gold, and other liquid assets. These reserves play an important role in stabilizing currencies and navigating financial crises.In this graphic, we visualize the 50 countries with the most central bank reserves, providing insight into the balance of global finances.The data for this visualization comes from The World Factbook. It compares the value of reserves (foreign exchange and gold) held by the world’s central banks as of 2024.Continue readingALL VACCINES Are WORTHLESS POISONS — Dr. Mike YeadonBy gregwyatt.comFormer Pfizer VP Michael Yeadon: “If you inject tiny doses of foreign protein into a person separated by two weeks, they become violently and permanently allergic to that substance.”“These diabolical people have included components in all jabs that your children have been given and you may have received so they sensitize you to every single basic food item.”Former Pfizer VP Michael Yeadon describes during an interview with Oracle Films posted to Rumble on July 3, 2025 research conducted by retired pharma R&D executive Sasha Latypova and writer and paralegal Katherine Watt that reveals why **all “vaccines”** are nothing more than poisons.As it turns out, “vaccines” do exactly the opposite of what it’s claimed they do—instead of preparing one’s immune system to fight off a specific pathogen, they sensitize a person to whatever’s been injected, priming them to have an anaphylactic reaction if they have a subsequent encounter with the injected material. Even if the injected material is normally benign—e.g., whey protein or peanut oil.Continue readingWaste of the Day: Corrections Earn Overtime, Vacation in One DayEtienne Note: Another example of organized crime “government,” this time at the State level in Illinois, completely robbing the population they are allegedly “serving.”By Jeremy Portnoy, RealClearInvestigationsTopline: Overtime pay is meant for employees working more than eight hours per day, but the Illinois Department of Corrections has found a way to circumvent that rule. Employees are using paid time off to stay home during work hours and then coming in later the same day to work overtime, according to a report from the state auditor released on Sept. 23.Key facts: Employees are more than happy to gain extra overtime hours and earn 1.5 times their regular salary, but the practice of “shift swapping” violates the Department of Corrections’ training manual, in the opinion of the state auditor. The department gets billed for overtime twice: first to pay an officer to cover for the employee on paid leave, and then again when the employee on leave returns later in the day.Continue readingMusk Says “Far More Than $100 Million” US Taxpayer Funds Funneled Into NGOs Fueling Chaos; Trump Briefed On Dark-Money NetworksBy Tyler DurdenUpdate (1010ET): Let’s recap what unfolded during Wednesday afternoon’s Antifa roundtable at the White House, hosted by President Trump.Several journalists shared firsthand accounts of being attacked by Antifa activists, but the real fireworks came from Seamus Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, who briefed the president and his cabinet on a complex network of dark-money NGOs and activist groups fueling unrest nationwide via the permanent protest-industrial complex.“We have identified dozens of radical organizations, not just the decentralized Antifa organizations, but dozens of radical organizations that have received more than $100 million from the Riot Inc investors,” Bruner told Trump.Elon Musk chimed in on X, commenting on a video featuring Bruner’s public briefing to the president about the dark-money NGOs, saying, “Way more than $100M of US taxpayer money.“Continue readingPublic Enemies: Government Bureaucrats as Societal ParasitesBy Thomas DiLorenzoThis article is adapted from DiLorenzo’s lecture at the Our Enemy, the Bureaucracy Mises Circle in Phoenix on Saturday, April 26.Economists have been studying and writing about government bureaucracy for quite a long time. Ludwig von Mises became the first “modern” economist to write a book on the subject with his 1944 Bureaucracy. The public choice school of economics, founded by James Buchanan and Gordon Tullock, among others, has produced a huge literature on the economics of bureaucracy, much of which is complementary to Mises’s pathbreaking work.This literature has produced many easy-to-understand insights about the essence of governmental bureaucratic behavior. For one thing, it is vastly different from decision-making in the marketplace. In the market people voluntarily “vote” with their dollars to express their preferences. There is a market feedback mechanism whereby if one pleases his customers he prospers, if one displeases his customers he fails. In government, by contrast, we are basically told: You need this, this, this, this, and this, and if you do not pay for it, we will make you live like a dog in a cage for several years. That’s called being sentenced to prison for tax evasion. There is nothing voluntary about it.Continue readingUpcoming Liberty EventsMises Institute Supporters Summit 2025 – October 16th-18th, 2025 – Wise Traditions Conference – The 25th Annual Weston Price Foundation Conference – Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, 17-19 October 2025Resist Digital IDs – Mass Non-Compliance Protest – Saturday, October 18th – 1:00 PM – Central LondonSDFA / CFA – LIVESTREAM, Saturday, October 18th, 2025Free Cities Conference: Returning to Prague – October 31st to November 2nd, 2025 – EventCHD 2025 Conference – November 7th-9th – Austin, TXFreedom Under Natural Law Conference – February 21st & 22nd 2026, On-lineDubFX, Woodnote, and Grant “Prezence” Ellman are going to be touring Europe Sept-December.
