<p>Episode 403 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! This week Jeremiah Morrell, Chase Peyton,  and Zach Burcham are the voices. We are joined by Indiana Parks Alliance, Tom Hohman is the President and John Goss is the Vice President of Advocacy. They are both retired from DNR Leadership and now working to advocate for funding in the State Parks system. This year park services and staffing have been reduced due to lower reserve funds for the parks. Reports of lack of mowing, pools being closed, and even the elimination of paper maps.</p>
<p> We talk about ways private groups can help solve the issue, and how user fees can bridge the gap. Lots of conversations about favorite parks and the impact they have on their communities. Everyone in Indiana is within an hour drive of an Indiana State Park. https://indianaparksalliance.org/</p>

There is a confirmed case of rabies in Henry County as a bat has been found in Baker Park. Health department officials say you should leash your dogs, cats, and ferrets. Uno is coming to a casino near you, perhaps. Do you want a date night at an UNO party in Chicago or Los Angeles? IndyCar just had an interesting weekend in Iowa, but one driver might not be able to race in Toronto. Will Linus Lundqvist get his IndyCar career back on track? </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 399 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! It’s an ensemble show this week. Jeremiah Morrell, Bones Harcourt, and Zach Burcham are your voices. A $30,000 fireworks show is happening at Memorial Park, Jeremiah caught himself a Facebook ban. Lots of state news this week; Governor Braun made some big changes on the IEDC board including some major donors to his campaign. He also froze tuition at all Indiana universities for the next two years. Four years at IU Bloomington is 48, Purdue 40k. The Indiana DNR is eliminating State Park maps, saving $110,000 a year. Response has been mixed. The NBA season is over, it’s a disappointment for the Pacers fan.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I was honored to (and surprised) to be asked as a guest on Jacob Winograd’s show The LCI Green Room over at the Libertarian Christian Institute to talk about the “Grill Pill”—a mindset that’s all about stepping back from the chaos of national politics to focus on what really matters: faith, family, community, and yes, sometimes literally grilling. He and I unpack the emotional toll of constant political engagement, why many of us are disillusioned with activism, and how to reorder our lives around what God has actually called us to. We talk about libertarianism, Christian cultural engagement, and the dangers of making politics an idol. This one’s honest, raw, and full of hard-won wisdom. Hope it helps you recalibrate.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 398 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! It’s an ensemble show this week. Jeremiah Morrell, Bones Harcourt, and Zach Burcham are your voices. Today is Juneteenth, the federal holiday. We take a civics lesson to understand what it’s all about and how it ties into the civil war. Indiana is going to authorize tolling any interstate highway. An Indiana State Trooper has been arrested for trying to steal from an online retailer, paving bricks and bad decisions are involved. The Stanley Cup is making the rounds in Florida, hopefully it doesn’t get mixed up with the deadly Brightline train. Finally, the Pacers are still in the finals…And Alex Palou is driving the SOLO cup car at Road America. Pour one out for Toby Keith.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 394 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! It’s an ensemble show this week. Jeremiah Morrell, Forrest Plank, Bones Harcourt, Mike & Blake McKown, and Nick Vance are the voices. This is Indy 500 race week. Bones made his first visit to the track to  see actual IndyCars in competition. Nick Vance came from New York for his first qualifying weekend. He comes race weekend, but got to spend the week here. Mike will be in photographer mode again. Forrest, Jeremiah, Zach, and Blake are just fans this year. Nick Vance is involved with the Elite IndyCar Facebook group which has over 13,000 members and is sponsoring two cars in the race this year. Huge controversy around team Penske and two of their cars are starting in the back. We have a shocking pole sitter in Robert Schwartzman at PREMA. Race weekend traditions and our predictions wrap up the show. The happiest week in Indiana us underway.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chris Spangle is joined by Alex Rosado, professional programs assistant at the Alexander Hamilton Society, to unpack the complexities of U.S.-China trade relations. They break down the legacy of Trump’s “Phase One” deal, why China fulfilled only 57% of its commitments, and how tactics like invoice manipulation and transshipment undermine global trade norms. The conversation also explores reshoring U.S. manufacturing, the AI and semiconductor arms race, and China’s internal demographic and economic challenges. Together, they examine how America can balance skepticism with strategy in navigating future trade.</p>

Zach Burcham is the producer who makes it all sound good. Indiana Lieutenant Governor, Micah Beckwith had more development in his SUV scandal as his office asked for one with “All the bells and whistles”, he also caught arrows for statements on the 3/5ths compromise, including from Governor Braun. Former Congressional candidate Gabe Whitley is going to federal prison for a few months. Bones breaks down the Kentucky Derby and who the local stories are. The Indiana Pacers are advancing to round two of the playoffs, but the TV package is annoying. It is May and IndyCars are on track. Producer Zach is running the Indy Mini Marathon Saturday.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode of The Chris Spangle Show, Chris welcomes William Dunstan, a Canadian political commentator and Young Voices contributor, for a wide-ranging discussion about U.S.-Canada relations, Canadian politics, and the impact of Donald Trump’s policies on Canada’s upcoming elections. Chris explains the long-running joke about Canadians on the show and reflects on the serious consequences of anti-American sentiment in Canada today. William outlines how tariffs, the “51st state” comments, and Trump’s rhetoric are reshaping Canadian nationalism and boosting the Liberal Party’s chances. They also explore the challenges young Canadians face, including housing affordability, economic stagnation, and why free tuition and rent control policies are missing the mark.</p>

Indy 500 testing is underway…As they are trying to fill time until the colts pick, Jeremiah names 40 years of Indy 500 winners, and Gordon Johncock’s biography makes an appearance.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Chase Peyton, and Bones Harcourt are the host voices. Zach Burcham is the producer who makes it all sound good. Indiana passed property tax reform. Governor Braun is not getting the expected warm reaction. Local income taxes are likely to increase. School funding is likely to decrease. Indiana is now faced with a 2.4 billion dollar revenue forecast dip as the state budget is being finalized. It is a perfect storm that just might lead to legalization of cannabis? Let’s talk about it. And why was the Masters so compelling this year?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 388 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Forrest Plank, and Bones Harcourt are the host voices. Zach Burcham is the producer who makes it all sound good. State Road 3 has partially washed out and is going to have an emergency closure. New Castle might get a “DORA” district, which could help with local tourism.  Indiana Property Tax reform is coming, reviews are mixed, but a local school corporation is getting eliminated because of it. Union Schools has a local enrollment of less than 3o0 students, but 9,000 online students. Lowest test scores in the state, and a 60 million dollar budget. More SUV talk from statewide office holders. Long Beach weekend and the Masters will dominate the sports landscape. Presley Sorah will be racing at Indianapolis in ARCA.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Michigan expanded its state-funded pre-K program by 20,000 seats—but only 6,000 children enrolled. Why are parents opting out of free preschool programs like Head Start and the Great Start Readiness Program? In this episode, Chris Spangle talks with Susanna Barnes Pettit, a social mobility fellow with Young Voices, about parental choice, preschool funding, and why families still prefer community-based options like parochial or nature-based schools. Chris and Susanna also explore how universal pre-K fits into broader education debates, discuss their own childhood experiences, and reflect on what parents truly want in early childhood education.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chris Spangle is joined by Aiden Grogan, a writer and Ph.D. student at Liberty University, to examine the economic consequences of tariffs, the myths of protectionism, and the real reasons manufacturing is returning to the U.S.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 387 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Chase Peyton, and Bones Harcourt are the host voices. Zach Burcham is the producer who makes it all sound good. There is a big controversy coming out of the top of state government. The Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State just got some big money SUVs that many might consider luxury models. The guys decide if its just too much. State Road 3 is set to become a construction zone through the heart of Henry County. There might be another dust up coming from county government. Did anyone get April fooled? And why is Chase Peyton so good at Fantasy IndyCar?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are tariffs taxes in disguise? Matt Cookson, a policy fellow at Young Voices and contributor at the Mises Institute, explains the complicated truth behind tariffs. Learn why the U.S. Constitution originally placed tariff-setting power in the hands of Congress and how it ended up under presidential control during the Roosevelt administration. Cookson details how tariffs actually harm consumers, disrupt supply chains, and inject uncertainty into markets. Plus, we discuss the political realities that make Congress hesitant to reclaim its authority and what steps they could take—such as repealing the 1934 Reciprocal Tariffs Act—to restore constitutional balance.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 386 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell and Zach Burcham are the host voices. Rusty and Ken Eckstein are our guests. They owned Mt Comfort RV in Hancock County, and recently sold the dealership to Camping World. Ken is active in the industry and recently worked to craft a bill with the Indiana General Assembly that will change how dealerships and manufacturers interact. Rusty shares the economic impact of the new federal tariffs on imported items that go into RVs, and how that affects the Indiana economy. More than 80% of RV’s are made in Indiana. Additionally, 10% of those campers are then exported to Canada, which is now enacting their own retaliatory tariffs on imported American products. Mt Comfort RV was also involved with the Indy 500, and we get some stories of their time “loaning campers” to drivers, and the special opportunities that created.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Adam “Mr Bones” Harcourt, Sean Row, and Zach Burcham are the host voices. The trade war has been cranked to 11, with the bourbon industry being turned on its head. That has Bones upset. Canada is threatening to turn off electricity for more than a million Americans. Is the Trump agenda to actually return to 1890s imperialism like the McKinley era? The stock market is down 10% in a month. Sean thinks we are as good at reading the stock market as ancient civilizations were at understanding volcanoes. “The market is angry”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Adam “Mr Bones” Harcourt, and Zach Burcham are the host voices. Our featured guest is Chad Malicoat, who just re-joined the Henry County council after a few years away. Indiana is reforming property taxes and we explore the impact that will have on local governments. Additionally, we discuss some possible bonding, needs for EMS, County Fair facilities, and the future of our bridge and culvert funds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nationally we talk tariffs and the impact it might have on our local economy, and the automotive industry. In sports, we have the IndyCar series back. They just had their biggest rating since 2011 in a race that wasn’t the Indy 500.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’ve been a longtime listener to this show, you know there are several things that we’ve emphasized over the years like the importance of friendship, healthy masculinity, and growing civil society within our local communities. For the last year, I have been hosting a podcast for Citizen 7, a local group dedicated to building deep friendships between men with the hope that it will spark redemptive change within Indianapolis. Big Hearted Indy is a podcast about friendship making a difference, and I think you will be encouraged by adding it to your podcast app. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is my favorite episode. My cohost Don Palmer and I welcome guest host Dave Neff, Rex Fisher and Mark Nottingham to the podcast to discuss their journeys of navigating careers, family life, and community investments. Listen in as they discuss their experiences with Edge Mentoring, Shepherd Community Center, and their entrepreneurial endeavors, providing valuable insights on balancing faith, work, and relationships in the vibrant city of Indianapolis. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 383 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Adam “Mr Bones” Harcourt, Forrest Plank, and Zach Burcham are the host voices. We have the ambassador from Tequila Mexico, Alex as well. Knightstown has had all kinds of turnover on the town council and the Police Department. A pothole was so bad that a semi flipped on I-70. DOGE continues, Elon Musk took a pulse of federal workers. The house passed a budget, we might be getting $5000 checks (probably not). Gene Hackman has passed, coach “Norman Dale” in the movie “Hoosiers” filmed right here in Henry County. Finally, IndyCar is back and the WAL/BHOL fantasy league is launching now!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode, I talk with Agustina Vergara Cid, an immigration policy expert, to break down the complex issue of birthright citizenship and President Trump’s day-one executive order attempting to alter it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We discuss the history and legal foundation of birthright citizenship, tracing its roots to the 14th Amendment and the 1898 Supreme Court case, Wong Kim Ark, which affirmed that anyone born on U.S. soil (except for children of diplomats) is an American citizen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Agustina explains how Trump’s executive order aims to deny citizenship to children of non-citizen visa holders and undocumented immigrants—something she believes is a direct constitutional challenge. We explore the motivation behind the order, the likelihood of it surviving court scrutiny, and how immigration laws in Europe and the U.S. differ, particularly in how they impact assimilation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also discuss:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The myth of “anchor babies” and why the 21-year waiting period makes it an unlikely incentive.</li>



<li>How countries like Germany have struggled with immigration assimilation due to restrictive citizenship policies.</li>



<li>The broader implications of Trump’s immigration strategy, including targeting legal immigrants and even denaturalized citizens.</li>



<li>The welfare state argument, whether immigrants receive massive government payments, and how cities like New York are handling recent arrivals.</li>



<li>Why Agustina believes America should strive for more Americans, not fewer, and the economic and cultural benefits of a strong immigration policy.</li>



<li>This was an insightful conversation about what it means to be an American, how immigration policies shape the nation, and the real-world impact of political rhetoric.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Agustina Vergara Cid, LL.B. and LL.M., is a Young Voices contributor focusing on immigration policy. Her commentary has appeared in The Orange County Register, Newsweek, and The Hill. Follow her on X: @agustinavcid</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chris Spangle kicks off the episode with a deep dive into why Super Bowl halftime shows always spark controversy, tracing the evolution of performances from marching bands to modern artists like Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna. He highlights how reactions often reveal deeper cultural and generational divides, touching on race, media consumption, and changing societal tastes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the second half, Chris is joined by Addison Hosner, COO of Young Voices, to discuss presidential pardon powers and their impact on the rule of law. They explore the historical context, the January 6 pardons, and the potential precedent these actions set for the future. Addison offers his expert perspective as an attorney, breaking down the legal and constitutional implications of high-profile pardons and why maintaining trust in the justice system is crucial for America’s future.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this conversation that blends pop culture and politics for a fresh, thought-provoking take.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Addison Hosner is the chief operating officer of Young Voices, based in Washington, D.C., and is a licensed DC and Florida attorney.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We start out the show with a couple of personal announcements about my family and career, and then Harry Price, Rhinehold and I deal with the fact that it’s hard to be a principled libertarian. First, there are some good things the government does at a local level. Secondly, the libertarian ideology is barely popular with libertarians. So I ask them, “what’s the point?” Harry gives me a good answer. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Forrest Plank, Chase Peyton, and Zach Burcham are the voices. Forrest is heading to the Army / Navy Game, we look at the random college football bowl games, break down the College Football Playoff and price out tickets for IU and Notre Dame next week. Chase professes his love for Boise State, and Jeremiah pulls a name out from the depths of his brain that shocks the room. There was an arrest in the New York City Hilton Murder, and the internet is going crazy for Luigi. Is a jury nullification trial coming down the road? Finally, YouTubeTV just raised their prices and we compare cable bills. Is it time to cut the cord to the cord?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Adam “Bones” Harcourt, Betsy Mills, and Zach Burcham are the voices. Classic Thanksgiving week episode, travel and food talk *favorites and hard pass items), BHOL alum Mark Brim is now a reporter in Sioux Falls South Dakota, and his report made the Tonight show with Jimmy Fallon this week. Did you know there is a Hoosier cafe in Arizona? IU lost to Ohio State, but looks likely to make the NCAA playoffs. Jeremiah digs into where teams might land. Hoping for some frozen college football games. And Formula One is coming to Fishers Indiana. Cadillac and GM are going to be the 11th F1 constructor with the Andretti Global entry. Ball State grad Dan Towriss has been the magic sauce to get it over the top? Betsy is fascinated by the Megan Stoner story, and will the DOGE program actually work?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 370 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Adam “Bones” Harcourt, Mark Fultz, and Zach Burcham are the voices. We can’t talk to Mark without talking about tipping. Twitter has competition in Blue Sky, Jeremiah rushed to claim his username before his rival got it. A 10 year old walked to a Dollar General a mile from his home in Georgia and his mom was arrested for it. We talk about how lucky we are that the sun goes down at 5:30. It went down in Maine at 4:00 today, and it went down yesterday in Alaska and won’t come up again until January. And did anyone get the Tyson/Paul fight to stream on Netflix?</p>

How does Indiana remove an elected official, if the need arises? Donald Trump is filling his cabinet…Is it 9D chess?  In Sports, Bones has built the ultimate Presidential football team. Coach Ike, GM Nixon, and Quarterback Washington make sense. But where do you put James Buchannan and James Madison? And can Obama work at slot receiver?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is finally over! Donald Trump won the presidency in one of the greatest political comebacks in American history. Why did Trump win, and why did Kamala Harris lose? We look at 2024’s fear-based political messaging from both sides and the mental health crisis it caused, the economic frustrations across America, and the disillusionment of younger generations. We also look at the Libertarian Party’s fifth-place finish and why, and we touch on the role of local community engagement in political change. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Sean Row, Forrest Plank, and Zach Burcham are your voices. It is the post election review show. A red tidal wave swept over Indiana and the country. Henry County’s own Jennifer McCormick and Don Rainwater were defeated by Mike Braun in the Governor’s race. Donald Trump is pulling a Grover Cleveland. We break it down, and make sense of the results. Did you know our county has more than 500 less registered voters than the last Presidential election? And our neighbors in Hancock County just elected a County Councilman who has been sitting in a Nevada jail since last summer? </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 366 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Brian Nichols and Zach Burcham are the voices. The Indiana Governor’s race is turning ugly.

Nationally, the Presidential race is shaping up to be a referendum on Donald Trump, yes or no. Brian attempts to get Jeremiah to consider the alternative. The Northern Lights were visible again, and it greeted my mixed apathy among the guys. Zach gave a memorable tour of the fieldhouse, and Jeremiah has traffic advice.</p>

The NFL is absolutely king, ratings are huge on any platform, absolutely sucking the air out of other sports. Chase Peyton preview Bears vs Colts, and tells stories of his NFL week one visit to Chicago. How much could a bike ride actually cost?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 362 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Jesse Riddle, Adam Harcourt, Sean Row, and Zach Burcham are the voices. Henry County has a burn ban in place, the first Harris vs Trump debate happened. Are cats and dogs being eaten by Haitian immigrants? (Did we actually write that sentence). We dig into Springfield Ohio and their 15,000 new immigrants and how communities handle it. More debate talk, a little bit of sports (IndyCar championship, NFL review, Tyreek Hill got detained), and Adam tries to kill off the penny.</p>

<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Zach Burcham are your hosts. This week we are joined by local ARCA driver Presley Sorah and Spotter/Graphic Designer Gavin Newton.

Presley and Gavin spent 2023 traveling the country as volunteers, and now as a driver and spotter. Presley will be racing on national TV at IRP on Friday night in the Circle City 500.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 355 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! </p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Betsy Mills are your hosts. Zach Burcham is the producer. Clay Morgan is our featured guest. We talk post city election feelings, city budget and utility concerns. There are some infrastructure improvements coming to the downtown area.</p>
<p>A large conversation takes place around the potential for replacing Joe Biden on the democrat ticket for President. Fundraising has dried up, multiple members of congress have called for him to step aside. We review the list and see who we could live with as an alterative. Finally, we talk about a potential innovative user fee to offset fuel taxes, and potentially reduce the number of delivery vehicles in neighborhoods. Could this help municipalities maintain local roads?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 354 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! </p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Chase Peyton are your hosts. Zach Burcham is the producer. Indiana just had a bunch of new laws take effect. Happy Hour is back, We have “Green Alerts”, Adult Websites are now more complicated. Good luck selling your farm to China. </p>
<p>Nationally, there was a big debate between President Biden and former President Trump, and a whole nation panicked. Can either candidate be replaced? And if so, who would get picked? What options will we have in Indiana? Likely only Chase Oliver as an alternate. RFK Jr is looking very unlikely on our ballot.</p>
<p>Sports includes Chase complaining about his fantasy football league, and McLaren firing another driver. Alexander Rossi is going to have to find a new place to race. Jeremiah has an idea about two dishwashers. And we wonder what the iron anniversary is about.</p>

<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Chase Peyton, and Zach Burcham are your hosts. Big news in the world of competitive eating, Joey Chestnut has been banned from the Nathans Hot Dog eating contest for July 4th. New favorite to win is James Webb, who won the Jack’s Donut hole eating contest, right here in New Castle. This weekend the Republicans will pick a Lieutenant Governor nominee, lots of Henry County locals are involved in the selection. BHOL Alum Logan Adams had a wild ride at Road America. IndyCar has a new TV deal with Fox and the guys talk about the great aspects and a couple drawbacks (Streaming TV issues). Chase leads a discussion of Caitlyn Clark and for some reason, Lord of the Rings.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 350 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Jesse Riddle, and Zach Burcham are our hosts today. The City of New Castle has found itself with a 10 million dollar shortfall, and the issue seems to be around health insurance funds. The Mayor plans to “trim the fat” and get things under control. Earlier this spring the city borrowed a little over 3 million dollars to meet immediate expenses.</p>
<p>The other big story is from Clark County Indiana, where there very politically connected former Sheriff has been jailed, and is awaiting trial for multiple felonies. We try to untangle the story…It is the most wild corruption story in our shows history. How did this happen under the nose of all of the local government officials?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 349 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! </p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Zach Burcham are our hosts today. Our special guest is Rex Bell. Rex is retiring after running Bell Contracting for 50 years. Rex tells us how he got started, stories along the way, and how he did it all with his original hammer. He says he never had any major injuries…His wife, Judge Bell tells us he nearly lost an ear, but Rex contends that it was just a flesh wound.</p>
<p>In addition to the 50 years in business, Rex found himself involved in Libertarian Politics and as an author. Rex won over 20 percent of the vote in a 3 candidate race for State Representative, gaining the highest vote percentage for a third party candidate in 100 years. He won precincts as a candidate for State Rep, Congress, and even in his 2016 run for Governor. All kinds of great stories along the way!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We cover a spectrum of issues such as Libertarian Party strategies, global political trends, the encroachment of digital currency control, economic policies, and even the potential societal collapse! That’s what happens when we check in with our fin Andy Horning. </p>
<p>We discuss the necessity for substantial change within American politics, skepticism towards incrementalism and the World Economic Forum’s vision for the future, financial challenges to welfare programs, and the power of a passionate minority to instigate political revolution. Andy also talks about his Senate run and the promotion of his book “Relighting the Torch,” proposing solutions to these issues. </p>
<p>Relighting the Torch – <a href="https://amzn.to/4aiSqaR">https://amzn.to/4aiSqaR</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 346 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! </p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, Brian Nichols, and Zach Burcham are our hosts. This is the live primary election special, sponsored by Weiland’s Flowers and Ink & Ale Brewhouse. </p>
<p>Live results come in through the program. Analysis on the top of the show of the statewide results, and the back third is the Henry County results. Outgoing council member Betsy Mills joins us in the middle of the program with her insights as well. Headline of the night is Commissioner Bobbi Plummer being narrowly defeated by Councilwoman Susan Huhn. And Dakota might have accidentally killed off a congressional candidate.</p>

<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Daktoa Davis and Zach Burcham are your hosts. The Candidate Series continues, sponsored by Weiland’s Flowers and Ink & Ale Brewhouse. </p>
<p>This week we are joined by County Judge David McCord, as he is running for re-election. Really educational episode, talking through what his court handles. Rapid fire cases, almost similar to the TV show, “Night Court” they might see 80 cases in a day. Anywhere from level 6 felonies, to traffic tickets, to small claims court. The Judge brought us data on the county inmate population, and we explored the idea of what, if any, influence our courts have on that headcount.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do you think of when you hear the words sex trafficking? Maybe your mind goes to 2012 in Uganda when the warlord Joseph Kony kidnapped tens of thousands of girls or the daring rescues of Tim Ballard shown in Sound of Freedom. Now, the words “sex trafficking” are being associated with Puff Daddy. These accounts of the suffering of women and men undergoing commercial sexual exploitation dominate our media and mental images, but they’re not the norm. The reality is that what was once called sex trafficking is happening in our own neighborhoods, and my guest, Mark Steenbarger of Point of View Story, is a filmmaker who works to liberate those trapped in a cycle of abuse. He shares with us the typical face of commercial sexual exploitation, what is being done to fight it, and how we can be vigilant with our own kids.  </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Caleb Franz is the host of Profiles in Liberty and author of “The Conductor: The Story of Rev. John Rankin, Abolitionism’s Essential Founding Father,” and he joins us to discuss Rankin’s Presbyterian upbringing in the South, his passionate opposition to slavery, and the influential letters he wrote to his brother, which sparked a broader public dissection of the institution of slavery. These writings, akin to ‘The Federalist Papers’ of abolitionism, played a crucial role in shaping the abolitionist movement, impacting figures like William Lloyd Garrison and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Franz also explores Rankin’s challenges, including physical threats and societal opposition, underscoring his importance as a unifying figure whose efforts transcended abolitionism. The episode delves into Franz’s book’s origin and evolution, Rankin’s legacy’s impact, and the importance of acknowledging the contributions of figures lost to history.</p>

<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Zach Burcham are your hosts. This is the second installment of the Candidate Series, sponsored by Weiland’s Flowers and Ink & Ale Brewhouse.</p>
<p>Tonight we have Southern District Commissioner Bobbi Plummer, and her challenger Susan Huhn, who is currently a County Council member. Topics range from county owned buildings, future jail expansion, county insurance cancellation, ARP funds, the Expo Center, Memorial Park, homelessness, and if they were a monarch for the day, what would they fix? Just over an hour, it’s a really valuable conversation between two leaders who want to be the top county executive for the next four years.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For years on this program, we’ve said that the best way to make change in our area is through something other than government action or even through starting a business… It is through a voluntary organization like a nonprofit. After a friend was killed in his neighborhood, Joe Garrison and a few other neighbors formed the North Shadeland Alliance to find ways to quell crime. In the process, they also built community, aided hungry neighbors, and built political power to get the attention of once-inattentive city officials. It was far easier than expected, and this story will greatly inspire listeners.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 334 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! </p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, and Zach Burcham are the voices.  We are joined by Representative Cory Criswell! We talk about the motivations to run for State Rep, what his expectations were and how they compare with his first term in office. We talk through the bills he filed, co-sponsored, and a general legislative update. Is Happy Hour returning to Indiana? We talk about the constituent survey results, and the interesting results. Does the district support legalization of marijuana? Straight ticket voting? And is class basketball going away? </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, and Zach Burcham are the voices.  Water pipes are popping all over Indiana, potholes are appearing, and it’s going to happen for the next few months. Dakota walks us through possible changes in Indiana state laws, including child care, happy hour, and a big tax break that might happen for some? The Bills and Chiefs game spotlight was stolen by Jason Kelce, the brother of Travis Kelce. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">John England, an Education Policy Analyst from the Libertas Institute, joins me again to discuss A.I. in education. While there are concerns about students’ reliance on A.I. like ChatGPT for homework, we discuss how A.I. does not necessarily degrade education and can be used effectively for idea generation and refining writing projects. John also mentions useful A.I. tools like Khan Academy’s Conmigo, an A.I. chatbot for teaching math. They further highlight the need for critical thinking in using A.I., especially with A.I. possibly providing information that may be 80% correct. Furthermore, they discuss how A.I. could potentially alleviate issues with overcrowded classrooms by serving as a personalized tutor.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With global waste projected to rise <strong><em>70% by 2050</em></strong>, we’re facing a <strong>trash avalanche of epic proportions</strong>. So how do we stop our cities from being buried in waste?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Studio Sponsor: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>Cardio Miracle</em></strong></a><strong><em> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart</em></strong></a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong>Brian </strong>digs deep with pioneering waste data expert <strong>Electra Coutsoftides</strong>, <strong>CEO</strong> of waste solutions firm<strong> X Works</strong>, on how data analytics can help propel cities toward a <strong>zero-waste future</strong>. They explore the overlooked world of <strong>global waste trading</strong>, where <strong>recyclables and waste commodities </strong>are <strong>imported and exported</strong> on a massive scale that will shock you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Electra </strong>explains how the <strong>EU </strong>is demanding digital passports to track waste origins and destinations. <strong>X Works </strong>provides software to meet these emerging regulations. Their platform also uses<strong> AI </strong>to analyze images of waste and identify mismatches between claimed and actual materials. This mitigates illegal dumping by verifying credibility along the supply chain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A key threat they are combatting is <strong>waste trading scams</strong> that cost companies huge sums of money. Scammers promise access to waste materials in exchange for large upfront deposits, then disappear with the cash. <strong>X Works</strong> certification and verification protects traders. This transparency and accountability will be crucial for managing the waste crisis ahead.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Looking locally, <strong>Electra </strong>discusses <strong>X Works </strong>partnerships with US logistics firms to bring their waste-tracking solutions stateside. With <strong>Brian’s </strong>firsthand view of overflowing trash in the streets of <strong>Philadelphia</strong>, it is clear smart waste policies are needed to avoid drowning in our own waste.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>X Works</strong> offers a technology-driven path ahead through the trash pileup projected in our collective future. Tune into this eye-opening discussion to learn about the overlooked world of global waste trading and hi-tech solutions that could just dig our cities out of projected trash overload!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do I have to be “pure” to be a libertarian? Can I be a good enough libertarian? In other words, Is it possible to be more libertarian than another person? Libertarianism isn’t a monolithic or rigid ideology; one doesn’t need to adhere to a “pure” form to identify as a libertarian. It’s a framework for social organization rooted in the belief that individuals cannot organize complex societies, necessitating a reliance on and trust in fellow humans. The path to embracing libertarianism, marked by relinquishing control, varies for individuals, and old beliefs shaped by prevailing political ideologies can influence this journey. While some might be perceived as “more libertarian” due to a deeper philosophical understanding or advocacy for radical solutions, the ideology accommodates diverse perspectives. Figures like Justin Amash, Murray Rothbard, and Ayn Rand exemplify this diversity within libertarianism. Though ideology is a constant measure for political positions, flexibility is integral for libertarian politicians navigating the art of compromise.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>What if everything we were told about COVID-19 was wrong? Today’s guest is blowing the lid off the COVID narrative.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Studio Sponsor: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>Cardio Miracle</em></strong></a><strong><em> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart</em></strong></a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When <strong>COVID-19</strong> first emerged, the medical community scrambled to understand this mysterious new virus. As a hospitalist working on the frontlines,<strong> Richelle Voth </strong>witnessed firsthand how protocols like <strong><em>Remdesivir </em></strong>failed to improve patient outcomes. After researching alternative therapies, she began utilizing repurposed drugs like <strong>Ivermectin </strong>with great success. <strong><em>However, she faced pushback for questioning official narratives.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this interview, <strong>Voth </strong>details how <strong>COVID-19 </strong>and its “accepted” treatments caused a disturbing array of <strong>neurological, cardiac, and other adverse reactions</strong> in her patients. She recounts one remarkable recovery where <strong>Ivermectin </strong>resolved acute psychosis in a patient with no other explanation. As more patients shared similar stories, <strong>Voth </strong>could no longer ignore the correlations. She explains her journey of overcoming fear to <strong>“Follow the Science”</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Voth </strong>provides glimmers of hope amongst the grim research emerging about <strong>COVID </strong>treatments. At her functional medicine clinic, <strong>Meehan MD</strong>, her team takes an individualized, root-cause approach to restore health in those suffering <strong>post-COVID/treatment complications</strong>. She discusses innovative lab testing and novel treatments personalized to each patient. Even for complex cases, creative medical detectives like <strong>Voth </strong>help patients reclaim their vitality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Host <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>explores why public trust in health institutions has eroded after years of shifting narratives, goalpost moving, and vilification of dissenting experts. <strong>Voth </strong>explains how physicians can rebuild trust through transparency, patient autonomy, and reclaiming the sacred patient-doctor relationship. She believes we can create positive change by giving patients ownership in their care.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>If you’ve felt gaslit by official COVID responses or are struggling with lingering symptoms, don’t miss this empowering conversation.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Richelle Voth</strong> brings integrity, clinical wisdom, and hope that recovery is possible, even from adverse treatment reactions. Together, we can re-envision a new era of medicine that honors the sovereignty of both patient and physician!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I recently hosted Joe Gulesserian, author of ‘The Practical MBA on Economics’, to discuss the evolving topic of artificial intelligence. We discussed both positive and negative impacts of AI on various industries and professions, from manufacturing and programming to white-collar work and even espionage. Joe also expressed concerns about the potential for extensive job loss and universal basic income in a society dominated by AI. However, he wonders if we could possibly see a more efficient world with a shorter work week. The conversation raises intriguing questions about the future of work, the economy, and society in the age of A.I.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>What if there was a REAL third option for West Virginia voters that could shake up the status quo? Libertarian candidate for Governor Erika Kolenich makes her bold case on why she should be the one to fill that role.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Studio Sponsor: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>Cardio Miracle</em></strong></a><strong><em> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart</em></strong></a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On today’s episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, we welcome<strong> Erika Kolenich</strong>, <strong><em>Libertarian candidate for Governor of West Virginia</em></strong> in 2024. <strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Erika </strong>dive deep into why she’s running and what she hopes to accomplish. They discuss the major problems facing <strong>West Virginia</strong>, like the crisis in the jail system and the failures of the <strong>Republican </strong>establishment to deliver on promises of change.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Erika</strong> outlines her plans for <strong>criminal justice reform</strong> to reduce overcrowding in jails by <strong><em>releasing nonviolent drug offenders</em></strong>. Erika argues this would also help fill job vacancies across the state. She also digs into cutting burdensome regulations to make it easier for small businesses to thrive. <strong><em>Her goal – bust down barriers and let the free market work its magic.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation shifts to a lively debate around social issues and the <strong>boundaries between parental rights, government overreach, and potential harm</strong>. They analyze tough questions around things like <strong>drag queen story hours</strong> through a libertarian lens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As they wrap up, <strong>Brian </strong>challenges <strong>Libertarian candidates to run smarter campaigns</strong> that focus on meeting voters where they are instead of just winning arguments. <strong>Erika </strong>makes an appeal to <strong>West Virginians </strong>to get involved with the <strong>Libertarian Party </strong>and support her insurgent campaign to shake up the establishment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you want to hear an in-depth discussion on the direction of <strong>West Virginia </strong>and a compelling case for a new voice in the <strong>Governor’s </strong>office, don’t miss this episode of<strong> The Brian Nichols Show!</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Could the purposes of the US Constitution really be contained in a single paragraph? </em></strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On today’s episode, host <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> explores this intriguing idea with constitutional expert<strong> Christopher Nesbitt</strong>. Their illuminating discussion tackles fundamental questions about <strong>America’s </strong>founding principles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Delving into the<strong><em> preamble of the Constitution</em></strong>, <strong>Nesbitt </strong>shares his motivation behind writing an in-depth “guide” to properly understanding every word within this vital section. He explains why comprehension has become so critical in today’s polarized climate.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation spotlights the overlooked differences between <strong><em>“liberty” versus “freedom”</em></strong> – a nuance many don’t grasp. <strong>Nesbitt </strong>offers insight through examining dictionary definitions from the era, helping clarify the <strong>Founders</strong>’ precise intended meanings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Analyzing modern applications, <strong>Nichols </strong>raises interesting examples related to<strong> COVID vaccine mandates</strong>. They debate potential <strong>conflicts between individual liberty and collective public good</strong>. This thought-provoking dialogue explores how constitutional principles apply to contemporary challenges.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout the wide-ranging nonpartisan discussion, <strong>Nesbitt </strong>emphasizes the unifying power of developing a complete grasp of the <strong>Constitution’s </strong>purposes. He makes a compelling case that shared understanding facilitates <strong>cooperation and progress.</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Can you punish a child under the NAP? What do libertarians believe about corporal punishment? Children should be guided and nurtured, not subjected to violence, due to their developing mental and emotional capacities. As noted by Dakota Hensley on WeAreLibertarians.com, children are unique individuals who require the guidance of family and community, emphasizing a collective responsibility. They are not property but young individuals whose form of individualism is distinct from that of adults. When parents fall short in their roles, the community is responsible for stepping in, and prioritizing the child’s welfare and development, potentially through forming a voluntary Child Protective Service. This dual support system shapes the child’s worldview and interaction with their surroundings.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Is America losing its global leadership role? <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f1fa-1f1f8.png" alt="🇺🇸" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> This congressional candidate argues YES – and reveals what’s needed to restore America’s power on the world stage.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Studio Sponsor: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>Cardio Miracle</em></strong></a><strong><em> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart</em></strong></a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Michael Nixon</strong>, a veteran and hospital executive running for <strong>Congress</strong> in<strong> Georgia’s 2nd district</strong>, joins host <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>to discuss his bid to flip the long-held <strong>Democratic </strong>seat. <strong>Nixon </strong>provides an insider’s perspective into the <strong><em>declining state of America’s military</em></strong>, explaining how poor leadership and dangerous policies have <strong>diminished troop morale and emboldened enemies</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sharing firsthand accounts from his deployments abroad, <strong>Nixon </strong>spotlights the shifting<strong> global perceptions of the U.S</strong>. over the past 20 years. Once viewed as liberators, <strong>American </strong>troops now face<strong> growing anti-American sentiments</strong>. <strong>Nixon </strong>traces the roots of this hostility and proposes solutions to restore <strong>America’s </strong>standing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pivoting to domestic issues, <strong>Nixon </strong>breaks down the <strong>economic struggles </strong>crippling his impoverished district. He slams the failures of career politicians from both parties to improve conditions for working-class Americans. Nixon lays out his vision for fiscal responsibility in D.C., eliminating government waste, and bringing industry and jobs back home.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Committed to<strong><em> bipartisan solutions</em></strong>, <strong>Nixon </strong>aims to forge unity around common-sense policies supported by both parties. By returning power to the states, securing the border, and upholding the rule of law, he believes <strong>America </strong>can reclaim its rightful place as the <strong>world’s shining city on a hill.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Learn why <strong>Nixon </strong>believes <strong>America’s </strong>future depends on electing citizen legislators willing to <strong><em>stand up to the D.C. establishment</em></strong>. Discover how his real-world experience can help strengthen America at home and abroad!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Studio Sponsor: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>Cardio Miracle</em></strong></a><strong><em> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart</em></strong></a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Could critical infrastructure already be held hostage by silent cyberwars secretly unfolding behind the scenes?</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On today’s episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong>Brian </strong>interviews cybersecurity expert <strong>Cyrus Nooriala</strong> on escalating cyber threats. Together they unpack and examine the <strong><em>precarious lack of security pervading both personal technology and business networks</em></strong>, leaving users and companies dangerously exposed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Delving into ominous examples like the <strong>Stuxnet virus</strong> and recent<strong> Iranian utility hacks</strong>, <strong>Nooriala </strong>outlines the constant probing of systems by state actors seeking leverage in global conflicts. With references ranging from <strong>Soviet </strong>tyranny to the suspicious<strong> Israeli </strong>border breach preceding recent violence, he constructs a disturbing narrative of<strong> cyber warfare rapidly intensifying across the Middle East <em>and beyond</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Exploring defensive fundamentals like <strong><em>network monitoring, penetration testing, and employee education</em></strong>, <strong>Nooriala </strong>stresses the multifaceted nature of<strong> business cybersecurity</strong>. He details how seemingly innocuous activities like pirated downloads can open companies to<strong> crippling lawsuits</strong> and <strong>security disasters</strong>. The conversation then begins its conclusion with a disturbing analysis of how cyber-attacks could lead to infrastructure sabotage and kinetic warfare.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While cautioning that <strong><em>absolute privacy remains impossible </em></strong>given legal backdoors in commercial encryption, <strong>Nooriala </strong>argues knowledge itself creates crucial protection against exploitation. He urges individuals to scrutinize the true reach of household technology, <strong><em>warning device cameras and microphones enable mass warrantless surveillance by Big Tech and government alike</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this riveting edition of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong>Nooriala </strong>pierces the veil shrouding the silent cyber battles unfolding across the globe. Tune in as he distills actionable methods for securing both personal and business digital worlds against the rising tide of cyber warfare threatening us all!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Studio Sponsor: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>Cardio Miracle</em></strong></a><strong><em> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart</em></strong></a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>What if everything you thought you knew about sales was just the tip of the iceberg? In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, guest Karl Becker argues that truly masterful selling requires going deeper to uncover powerful human truths most tactics never reach.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Host <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> and guest <strong>Karl Becker</strong> dive into the idea of<strong><em> “iceberg selling”</em></strong> – understanding the 90% that lies below the surface when connecting with potential customers. <strong>Becker </strong>shares his origin story of discovering sales as a survival tactic due to struggles with dyslexia, leading to a career coaching teams to <em>“bring out the best in individuals.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The two discuss<strong> key mindsets for sales success</strong>, including focusing on lifetime value of client relationships rather than short-term transactions. <strong>Becker </strong>outlines his<strong><em> “5 best practices of iceberg selling”,</em></strong> including doing research on prospects beforehand and guiding conversations by understanding “their world.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Becker</strong> explore ideas around qualifying ideal customer profiles, avoiding aggressive selling tactics, building rapport through genuine curiosity, and framing sales as a “journey” rather than a “sprint to the finish line.” <strong>Becker </strong>also shares suggestions for those new to sales on how to get started being an “effective communicator.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As takeaways, the two emphasize the power of the<strong> Golden Rule in sales</strong> –<strong><em> “treating others the way you want to be treated”</em></strong>. <strong>Nichols </strong>concludes that understanding context and “why people buy” allows you to truly<strong><em> “meet them where they’re at”</em></strong>, which <strong>Becker </strong>agrees is the key to sales success.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>What’s the secret blueprint that allowed a 28-year-old libertarian phenom to infiltrate a rural Indiana city council seat in the heart of America’s red state country?</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How often do we see <strong>Libertarian </strong>candidates fall flat on election day? <strong>Too often! <em>But what if this time was different?</em></strong> Listen in as host <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> interviews <strong>Clayton Soultz</strong>, a 28-year-old <strong>Libertarian </strong>who just won his election to the <strong><em>Jonesborough City Council in Indiana</em></strong>. Find out <strong>Clayton’s </strong>secrets to running a<strong> winning local campaign</strong>, like convincing the incumbent to step down, going door-to-door to meet constituents face-to-face, and focusing on issues voters truly care about rather than pushing rigid <strong>Libertarian </strong>ideology.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You’ll learn why focusing on<strong> likability and relationship building</strong> at the local level leads to more victories than national <strong>Libertarian </strong>figureheads preaching big ideas without local followthrough. Hear <strong>Clayton’s </strong>tips for <strong><em>picking winnable races in small towns </em></strong>thirsty for new leadership. Understand how to<strong> leverage single issues</strong> like water quality regulation and perceived state government overreach during COVID restrictions. Get fired up as <strong>Clayton </strong>describes his 60-year vision for the <strong>Libertarian </strong>slow march through government institutions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re fed up with <strong>Libertarian </strong>losses and ready for pragmatic winning strategies tailored to the hyperlocal level, this is the can’t-miss episode for you! <strong>Clayton </strong>shows how being the voice for disgruntled voters on issues that directly impact their lives is the antidote for ineffective purist politicking. Tune in to get his take on nullifying state and federal tyranny through municipal government participation. You’ll walk away understanding why <strong>Libertarians </strong>must contest elections at the lowest levels now in order to build the infrastructure and credibility needed to compete statewide and nationally down the road!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Andrew Wilson, author of ‘Remaking the World’, a book that offers a fresh perspective on the year 1776, outlines how this pivotal moment in history shaped the modern post-Christian West. While this year is chiefly remembered for the creation of America, Wilson speaks about the various critical moments and cultural shifts that occurred that year, ultimately shaping our present world. We discuss various topics, such as the impact of industrialization, romanticism, and enlightenment ideals, the evolving role of the church in society, and the importance of understanding history in the contemporary societal context.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Studio Sponsor: </em><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><em>Cardio Miracle</em></a><em> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”: </em><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><em>https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart</em></a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>They call themselves the “Fun Police” – but are they really just modern-day prohibitionists trying to ruin a good time? In this episode, we expose the truth behind these moral busybodies.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On today’s episode. we’re introduced to the concept of the “<strong>Fun Police</strong>” – self-appointed guardians of morality who oppose vices and nightlife. We explore how these naysayers have used social media to amplify their message of disapproval and condemnation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian’s </strong>guest, <strong>Bill Wirtz</strong>, explains the history of <strong>prohibitionists </strong>and <strong>temperance </strong>movements. We learn how they’ve shifted strategy over time – becoming more lenient on hard drugs but stricter on gambling, vaping, and sugary drinks. <strong>Bill </strong>argues for a classically liberal approach focused on informed adult consumers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian</strong> and <strong>Bill </strong>debate key issues like <strong>advertising</strong>, <strong>public health advocacy</strong>, <strong>changing cultural norms</strong>, and finding the right <strong>balance between freedom and regulation</strong>. They discuss the unintended consequences of outright bans and “quasi-prohibition.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The two share final thoughts on decentralization of policy, leading by example vs. government force, acknowledging harms vs. autonomy, and changing culture through open debate rather than imposition. <strong>Bill </strong>also invites listeners to check out his podcast series “<strong><em>The Fun Police.</em></strong>“</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode takes a thoughtful look at how we approach vices as a society. It’s an insightful dialogue that raises questions about the role of <strong>government</strong>, <strong>business</strong>, <strong>community</strong>, and<strong> personal responsibility </strong>when it comes to consumer choice. Give it a listen – you might be surprised at what side you come down on!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>What does it take to stand up for your rights and keep your business open during government lockdowns? Jen Jacobson Brusa shares her incredible story of grit and overcoming adversity.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jen</strong> started her cheesecake business, <strong>Beloved Cheesecakes</strong>, in <strong>Oregon </strong>right before the <strong><em>COVID lockdowns</em></strong> began. As a single mom of 3 boys, she knew she had to stay open to provide for her family. Even as the only business defying lockdown orders in her town, <strong>Jen </strong>stood firm in her convictions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Facing backlash but seeing <strong>God </strong>provide, <strong>Jen </strong>shared how her business ended up on <strong>Fox & Friends</strong>. Now, after 4 years, she has moved to a much larger location. <strong>Jen</strong> explains how letting go of caring what people think and finding freedom through following her values empowered her.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Diving into parenting styles, <strong>Jen </strong>contrasts indulgent parents doing everything for their kids with her approach of <strong>discipline</strong>, <strong>consequences</strong>, and <strong><em>not sheltering her boys from reality</em></strong>. She shares how through <strong>God’s</strong> faithfulness, her kids have their own strong relationships with Him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jen </strong>and host <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>explore how <strong><em>lack of grit and tenacity</em></strong> is a major issue with younger generations today. They discuss the entitlement mentality and need for problem-solving skills versus being handed everything. <strong>Jen </strong>emphasizes that overcoming challenges grows character and determination.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Want to order amazing cheesecakes yourself?</em></strong> <strong>Jen </strong>talks about <strong>Beloved Cheesecakes’ </strong>holiday flavors and <strong>nationwide shipping!</strong> She also shares where you can find her business on social media to order cheesecakes online!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>How are Gen Z becoming increasingly progressive and left-leaning? What’s the real impact of social media and how young people form their worldviews today?</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this eye-opening episode, host <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> digs deep with commentator <strong>Olivia Rondeau</strong> on the ideological shifts happening with younger generations. They explore how <strong>Gen Z</strong> are being shaped by social media platforms like <strong>TikTok, </strong>the emergence of <strong>“social death” </strong>for dissenting views, and the <strong>long-term risks</strong> if we don’t course-correct.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rondeau </strong>shares her first-hand experience getting sucked into <strong><em>leftist ideology</em></strong> online as a teen and how she eventually broke out. She contrasts the differences between past and present social media, explaining why<strong> today’s algorithms and influences</strong> make it far more difficult.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Rondeau </strong>also discuss constructive solutions, like the need for more nuanced right-wing voices to meet <strong>Gen Z</strong> where they are. <strong>Rondeau </strong>emphasizes that <strong>conservatives </strong>must be better at welcoming those who leave the left and <strong><em>not dismiss </em></strong>them as “<strong>unsaveable</strong>“.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This vital conversation breaks down all the key factors in generational shifts happening before our eyes. Learn why we urgently need a different approach to counter manipulation and reach young minds more effectively!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Studio Sponsor: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>Cardio Miracle</em></strong></a><strong><em> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart</em></strong></a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>A landmark new poll shows a monumental shift – with 2/3 of parents now supporting school choice, signaling a major change in the conversation around education options for families.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian Nichols </strong>welcomes <strong>Matt Frendewey</strong>, an education reformer with 15 years experience, to discuss a new <strong>YouGov poll </strong>showing <strong><em>overwhelming support for school choice</em></strong>. The<strong> 2020 pandemic</strong> exposed problems in traditional public schools, leading many parents to explore new options. Enrollment numbers show more families moving to charter, private, homeschooling and microschools.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The poll found strong majorities support <strong><em>ending zip code-based school assignment, expanding education savings accounts (ESAs) and expanding education tax credits</em></strong>. This support crossed partisan lines and was especially high among Black and lower-income Americans. More states are responding by passing new and expanded school choice laws.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Matt </strong>explains how the education system was founded on racist beliefs about the “inherited ability” to sort children. It remains focused on the system over individual students and their needs. The <strong>teachers union </strong>continues to defend this outdated model, while even many teachers are fleeing to start alternative schools. Attacks on homeschooling signal establishment fears about empowering parents.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Matt </strong>discuss how <strong><em>culture shapes policy </em></strong>– the shift in public opinion will drive more political changes favoring school choice at the state level. <strong>Matt </strong>predicts funding will become more flexible and portable, not limited to public-to-private transfers. Barriers like zip code restrictions will eventually fail to meet family demand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To conclude,<strong> Matt </strong>invites listeners to get involved lobbying their states if on the cusp of passing new laws, and to partner with <strong>Yes. Every Kid. Foundation. &</strong> <strong>Brian </strong>promotes his school choice bumper stickers and merch, promoting parent power over educational freedom.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Studio Sponsor: </strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong>Cardio Miracle</strong></a><strong> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”: </strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong>https://www.briannicholsshow.com/heart</strong></a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Are political debates ruining your holiday dinners? Brian Nichols and Jeremy Todd reveal the conversational landmines libertarians should avoid if they want productive discussion.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this info-packed episode, <strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Jeremy </strong>analyze the topics actually coming up around real holiday dinner tables. Beyond expected fare like the <strong>economy </strong>and <strong>2024 candidates</strong>, they note rising discussion of <strong>crime rates</strong> and<strong> immigration policy</strong>. Tackling the realities behind these hot-button issues, they explain why rational debate often falls flat and how to foster true dialogues.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jeremy </strong>stresses <strong><em>stopping reflexive arguments</em></strong> that entrench people deeper in their views. He advocates asking gentle questions to understand others’ mindsets before countering them. Learn tips like <strong>finding common ground,</strong> however small, ensuring those opposed still like you, and guiding people to arrive at their own conclusions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Shifting to libertarian solutions, <strong>Brian</strong> and <strong>Jeremy </strong>admit the <strong>Libertarian Party</strong> faces real voter skepticism and ballots stacked against it. Still, they share smart strategies for demonstrating the tangible impact of protest votes. These steps <strong>offer disenchanted citizens meaningful options</strong> for registering discontent while keeping alternative parties viable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Local-level activism</strong> emerges as the clearest path forward. <strong>Jeremy </strong>discloses how shockingly easy and impactful running for city council or county chair roles can be. Taking on even these ‘two hours a week’ commitments represents a powerful counterforce to the ‘oatmeal in suits’ currently populating halls of power through grassroots efforts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this deep-dive episode if you crave less polarized, more nuanced, and solution-oriented political talk. <strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Jeremy </strong>deliver beyond expected partisan squabbling to uncover communication insights that could truly <strong>enhance your next holiday gathering!</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How can equal opportunity exist when so many have so much wealth? What would be done about the 1%? Equal opportunity, though a sought-after ideal, remains elusive across various governance systems, including libertarianism. No society, regardless of its level of freedom or control, can claim absolute equality of opportunity in aspects beyond just education. In libertarianism, for instance, it’s unfeasible to mandate equal educational opportunities when affluent families have the means to elevate their children’s learning experiences. However, a distinction exists between open societies like the U.S. and closed ones like North Korea, where wealth and power are rigidly centralized. In more open societies, wealth is relatively fluid, with family fortunes often dispersing within a few generations, fostering opportunities across socioeconomic classes. In contrast, closed societies rigidly centralize and retain wealth within a select elite, stifling opportunity and mobility for the broader population.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 322 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts. Zach Burcham is on the producers desk. Mark Fultz is our special guest. It is Thanksgiving week. We compare notes on favorite meals, traditions, travel, and what foods are hated. How many meals can you squeeze into a day? This might be the episode that gets Dakota onto the federal watch list as we investigate the JFK assassination , 60 years after the tragic day in Dallas. Mark spent all day researching. Jeremiah has found a seasonal correlation for documentaries and the month. It’s almost time to go all in on Pearl Harbor?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Have cities gone crazy with “bail reform” and helping violent criminals get out of jail? Find out in this eye-opening talk with bail reform expert Ken Good.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, host <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>dives deep into the concerning impacts of bail reform with returning guest <strong>Ken Good</strong>, a bail reform attorney from <strong>Texas</strong>. They examine how p<strong>rogressive DAs and liberal policies</strong> have contributed to the <strong>rise in crime, violence, and chaos sweeping America’s major cities.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Good </strong>have an insightful discussion around the hypocrisy of the left when it comes to <strong>crime statistics</strong> and the real experiences of business owners and citizens in inner cities. They also explore the lack of <strong>criminal accountability</strong>, the <strong>decriminalization of offenses</strong>, and the frightening <strong>consequences of getting rid of laws around drugs</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Good </strong>provides excellent analysis around the failures of risk assessment tools, the problems with releasing everyone on personal bonds, and the importance of having accountability across the board for both misdemeanors and felonies. He talks about the reversible court decisions, politically motivated arguments, and poor public safety outcomes stemming from <strong>bail reform experiments gone wrong</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you want the truth about what’s really happening with crime and punishment in <strong>America</strong>, don’t miss this episode. Tune in to hear these two experts break down the facts and provide solutions around restoring safety through proper bail reform!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Do you want Washington bureaucrats deciding what prices stores can charge you? Changes coming to antitrust law could make that a reality.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join host <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> and special guest<strong> Carl Szabo</strong> as they dive into a HOT debate on <strong>antitrust laws</strong> and how proposed changes could lead to the<strong> government controlling prices</strong>. This controversial topic has huge implications for your wallet, with antitrust enforcers like <strong>Senator Elizabeth Warren’s </strong>“acolytes” aiming to limit big tech and e-commerce companies like <strong>Amazon </strong>and <strong>Google</strong>. Get the insider scoop straight from <strong>Szabo</strong>, an expert in internet law, on how this could<strong><em> reduce innovation and jack up costs</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Szabo </strong>don’t just present problems – they offer ACTIONABLE solutions normal citizens can take. Learn about the proposed <strong>One Agency Act</strong> which could streamline antitrust enforcement and preserve the consumer-friendly standard that’s fueled growth for decades. <strong>Szabo </strong>highlights specific cases where mergers and acquisitions were blocked despite benefiting consumers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The lively back-and-forth between <strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Szabo </strong>covers a range of angles on antitrust laws. They steelman the counterargument –<strong><em> does consolidation always lead to monopoly pricing power?</em></strong> How do you balance competition and innovation? <strong>Szabo </strong>argues today’s tech giants offer more choice than ever thanks to constantly improving quality and lowering costs. Tune in to hear the most compelling points made on both sides of this divisive issue.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond antitrust laws, <strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Szabo </strong>delve into broader themes like the importance of economic freedom and <strong>America’s </strong>unique innovative spirit. <strong>Szabo </strong>contrasts the creativity unleashed in <strong>America </strong>versus other parts of the world constrained by <strong><em>excessive regulation</em></strong>. You’ll come away with a deeper appreciation for the conditions that have made the <strong>U.S.</strong> a global leader in pioneering new technologies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you want an uncensored, razor-sharp analysis of<strong> antitrust laws</strong> from experts on the front lines, this episode is a must-listen. <strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Szabo </strong>pull no punches in scrutinizing policies they feel would stifle innovation and hurt consumers. Their knowledgeable discussion will leave you better equipped to evaluate changes that could impact your finances and economic opportunities. <strong><em>Tune in now to get pumped up and informed!</em></strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Studio Sponsor: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>Cardio Miracle</em></strong></a><strong> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”: </strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong>https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc</strong></a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>What happens when Americans are stranded overseas in danger with nowhere to turn? Meet the daring veterans behind Project Dynamo, a group risking it all on secret missions to save lives.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On today’s episode, host <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>welcomes back <strong>Project Dynamo CEO Bryan Stern</strong> for an eye-opening look at this unique nonprofit. When disaster strikes abroad and citizens have no government help, <strong>Stern’s </strong>team jumps into action. They’ve now evacuated over <strong>7,000 people</strong> from war/disaster zones worldwide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Stern </strong>takes us inside <strong>October’s </strong>mission to <strong>Israel </strong>during active rocket attacks. Dealing with canceled flights and closed borders, the challenges were immense. The team persevered despite taking enemy fire themselves, demonstrating their commitment to saving lives. Their work shows what everyday heroes are capable of.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation covers everything from coordinating with the <strong>Taliban </strong>to the dangers of cheering on <strong>Hamas </strong>without understanding reality. <strong>Stern </strong>stresses the need for truth and empathy amid polarization. His field insights add valuable nuance on complex global issues.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout the discussion, <strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Stern </strong>focus on real solutions over empty rhetoric. They offer encouragement that<strong><em> good people united by purpose can change the world</em></strong>. By supporting <strong>Project Dynam</strong>o, listeners have the chance to be part of the mission.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode offers an eye-opening look at unsung heroes making a difference. Listen as two thoughtful voices cut through the confusion to<strong> advocate empathy and tangible action</strong>. With powerful stories from the front lines, it’s a conversation that will restore your hope!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What should I do if I want to run? What do I need to prepare for? Aspiring political candidates should begin by identifying and understanding the core issues of their specific race, ensuring alignment with the local community’s needs. Gaining insights through attending city or county meetings and connecting with political parties at the county or state level is crucial for training and support. The journey to office involves active engagement with party insiders, voters, and media, emphasizing authenticity and relationship building. Resources like Ron Faucheux’s books and the Upward – Libertarian Activism podcast can provide additional guidance for those preparing to step into the political arena with integrity and commitment.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Studio Sponsor: </em><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><em>Cardio Miracle</em></a> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”: https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Get ready to reawaken America with Clay Clark and Brian Nichols in this can’t-miss discussion on taking back our country through grassroots activism and entrepreneurship!</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Clay Clark</strong>, founder of the<strong><em> Reawaken America Tour</em></strong>, joins <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> to discuss the mission behind <strong>Reawaken America</strong>: uniting patriotic <strong>Americans </strong>under the shared values of <strong><em>faith, freedom and entrepreneurship</em></strong>. The tour features speakers like <strong>General Flynn</strong> and <strong>Eric Trump</strong>, who offer inspiration for getting involved in politics and business to save the nation. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Diving into the roots of <strong>America’s </strong>slumber, <strong>Clay </strong>argues it stems from a lack of biblical literacy.<strong> <em>By returning to scripture, we can recognize the false prophets and agendas at work today.</em> </strong>For those wary of religion, <strong>Clay </strong>suggests focusing on the unifying facts of <strong><em>election fraud, medical fraud and media lies</em></strong>.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When asked how to motivate the apathetic, <strong>Clay </strong>emphasizes outreach through <strong>Christ’s </strong>return by recommitting to <strong>God</strong>, sharing the gospel, and raising strong families. While prophecy is unfolding, we should still take action as entrepreneurs – <strong>Clay </strong>shares uplifting stories of businesses grown through his <strong>Thrive Time </strong>workshops.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Want to get involved? <strong>Clay</strong> offers <strong>Brian Nichols’ </strong>audience a chance to <strong><em>win VIP backstage passes </em></strong>to an upcoming<strong> Reawaken America Tour</strong> event in <strong>California </strong>by requesting tickets on their website. Join other patriots to connect, learn and take the nation back!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this lively discussion on the state of the nation and our power to change it by tuning in to <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, where <strong>Clay </strong>provides inspiration, tough truths and practical steps for r<strong>eawakening and</strong> <strong>saving America!</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Studio Sponsor: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>Cardio Miracle</em></strong></a><strong> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>How can gun education counter violence while also empowering minorities? Alicia Garcia joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss second amendment rights, personal defense, and her lawsuit against Colorado’s Governor Jared Polis.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this engaging episode, host <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>and guest <strong>Alicia Garcia</strong> dive into the importance of<strong> self-defense for all individuals </strong>regardless of gender, size or ability. <strong>Garcia </strong>highlights the apathy around Second Amendment rights and her mission to<strong> preserve gun rights by suing the state of Colorado</strong> over their unconstitutional 3-day waiting period law.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Garcia </strong>explains how <strong>Colorado’s </strong>strict gun laws <em>prevent citizens from protecting themselves despite rising crime, homelessness and threats of violence</em>. She argues passionately that the right to bear arms is a natural civil right, and that the most vulnerable populations like women, elders and children deserve their right to self-defense.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Garcia </strong>have an insightful discussion on how society and parents have failed to teach self-reliance, confidence and situational awareness to the younger generations. <strong>Garcia </strong>stresses the need for real<strong><em> bonding, empathy, nature connection and mentors to raise strong, capable youth.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ultimately, <strong>Garcia </strong>implores people to get out of their echo chambers and have open conversations across divides. She believes that building bridges through thoughtful dialogue is the only way to move forward on the gun debate and make real progress.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this thought-provoking episode with <strong>Alicia Garcia</strong> on empowering self-defense, preserving constitutional rights, the importance of raising self-reliant youth, and creating change through open communication!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Studio Sponsor: </em><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><em>Cardio Miracle</em></a> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Libertarian politics can be frustrating. Brian Nichols has the solution on how to spread the message more effectively.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On this solo episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong>Brian </strong>tackles a common issue libertarians face – <strong><em>no one listening when they discuss their political beliefs.</em></strong> He explains it’s not the just messenger, but the audience, and libertarians need to identify their<strong> Ideal Voter Persona (IVP)</strong>. <strong>Brian </strong>outlines<strong> 3 types of voters libertarians should target:</strong> the disillusioned voter tired of the two parties, the politically “homeless” independent thinker, and the libertarian base wanting less government.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To win these groups over, <strong>Brian </strong>advises focusing messaging on shared values and pragmatic solutions, not just political philosophy. He evaluates the strategies of several libertarian presidential candidates like <strong>Josh Smith, Michael Rectenwald, Mike ter Maat, Jacob Hornberger and Chase Oliver</strong>. <strong>Brian </strong>critiques their outreach and recommends concentrating on 2-3 issues like inflation and dissatisfaction with the two major parties.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian</strong> stresses presenting libertarianism as an attainable alternative. <strong>Don’t just tout policies, explain their real-life impact on voters</strong>. He uses eliminating the <strong>Department of Education</strong> as an example – discuss the implications for students. <strong>Brian </strong>says no candidate is perfect, so libertarians should work together respectfully to improve messaging and outreach. <strong><em>Infighting will only turn voters away.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian</strong> challenges libertarians to focus on inclusive, collaborative solutions over petty internal conflicts. He uses a car dealership analogy to illustrate how buyers will be wary of obvious dysfunction. <strong><em>To earn votes, libertarians must run unified campaigns that clearly communicate benefits to voters.</em></strong> <strong>Brian </strong>says the libertarian message itself is strong, but outreach must improve to achieve electoral success.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This introspective solo episode provides pragmatic advice for spreading the libertarian message. <strong>Brian </strong>draws on his media expertise to outline specific steps for broadening the appeal of libertarianism. An essential listen for libertarian-leaning voters and anyone dissatisfied with the two major parties!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The NAP is the only requirement members of the Libertarian Party must agree to. Is that a good standard? The Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) serves as a unifying ethos for members of the Libertarian Party, mandating a collective agreement to abstain from using force to achieve political or social objectives. Although the political landscape is rife with diverse ideologies, the NAP acts as a common ground for Libertarians, distinguishing them from other political affiliations. Instituted by the party’s founder, David Nolan, in 1971, this pledge was designed to characterize the party as a non-violent political entity, especially significant at a time when violence was a common political tool. Despite its inherent imperfections, the Libertarian pledge is celebrated for its capacity to instill focus and cohesion among party members, transcending the multifaceted ideologies and beliefs that reside within its ranks.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Studio Sponsor: </em><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><em>Cardio Miracle</em></a> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Get ready for a fiery discussion on medical freedom, Big Pharma tyranny, and why RFK Jr. could be the perfect storm in the 2024 presidential election.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian Nichols</strong> welcomes <strong>Kevin Jenkins</strong>, an advisor to <strong>Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</strong>, to discuss<strong> RFK Jr.’s<em> independent presidential run</em></strong>. They provide context around why <strong>RFK Jr.</strong> is seen as a major threat to both establishment parties, given his outspoken criticism of the <strong>COVID-19</strong> response and refusal to bow to corporate interests.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jenkins </strong>argues<strong> RFK Jr. </strong>has the courage to <strong><em>fight the globalists</em></strong> and <strong><em>“tell the American people the truth.”</em></strong> He cites examples like<strong> RFK Jr’s</strong> focus on medical racism, parental rights, border security, and reparations. While not perfect, <strong>Jenkins </strong>says<strong> RFK Jr.’s</strong> boldness is waking people up worldwide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Jenkins </strong>touch on how <strong>RFK Jr. </strong>was proven right about <strong>COVID-19 </strong>vaccines not stopping transmission. They discuss medical apartheid and how <strong>RFK Jr.</strong> has consistently stood against vaccine mandates. <strong>Jenkins </strong>argues <strong>RFK Jr. </strong>“shook up the world” by questioning the official narrative.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Looking ahead to <strong>2024</strong>, <strong>Jenkins </strong>lays out a<strong><em> blueprint for RFK Jr. to win</em></strong>, arguing he must stay hyper-focused on <strong>“America First”</strong> issues rather than get distracted by consultants. They discuss a potential <strong><em>Trump-Kennedy ticket uniting against the “corporatocracy.”</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the end, both <strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Jenkins </strong>express optimism that brave leaders like<strong> RFK Jr.</strong> can help preserve <strong>America’s </strong>constitutional republic. <strong>Jenkins </strong>closes with a call to action for all patriots to join the fight by supporting leaders not beholden to the globalists.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Studio Sponsor: </em><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><em>Cardio Miracle</em></a> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Are you prepared for disaster? Learn how to survive economic collapse, pandemics, and loss of law and order from retired Air Force Colonel Drew Miller of Fortitude Ranch.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, host <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>interviews<strong> Dr. Drew Miller</strong>, founder of<strong> Fortitude Ranch</strong>,<em> America’s largest survival community</em>. They discuss how to prepare for disasters like <strong><em>economic collapse, pandemics, loss of law and order, and other scenarios</em></strong>. <strong>Miller </strong>explains that new technologies like <strong><em>AI, nanotech and biotech</em></strong> are increasing the likelihood of catastrophes that could lead to collapse.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Miller </strong>warns that threats like <strong><em>solar flares, cyber attacks, EMPs or bio-weapons </em></strong>could take down critical infrastructure like the power grid. <strong>With 90% of the population unprepared, the death toll could be massive.</strong> He criticizes the lack of government action to harden the grid against<strong> EMPs.</strong> Miller also alerts listeners to the coming <strong>H5N1 avian flu pandemic</strong>, which the <strong>WHO </strong>confirms is now spreading amongst cats in <strong>Poland </strong>near the <strong>Russian </strong>border.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Miller </strong>explore how the massive size of government has made critical systems vulnerable. With bio-labs worldwide, regulating biotech is impossible. <strong>Miller </strong>argues that gain-of-function virus research, though intended for good, enables individuals to <strong><em>engineer deadly pandemics</em></strong>. Survival will go to politicians in bunkers, criminals, and groups like <strong>Fortitude Ranch</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Miller </strong>explains how <strong>Fortitude Ranch</strong> provides affordable survival community memberships starting at $1000 per person annually. With 7 locations currently and expanding through franchising, <strong>Fortitude Ranch</strong> features lodging, food, training, ranges, and recreation. Members vacation up to 2 weeks a year for free at any location.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Miller </strong>emphasizes that city dwellers especially need a bug-out plan and location. He advises relocating to rural areas and joining preparedness networks. Listen to the full episode to learn how <strong>Fortitude Ranch</strong> can help you survive disasters with your mental and physical health intact!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Studio Sponsor: </em><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><em>Cardio Miracle</em></a> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>What happens when conspiracy theories turn out to be true?</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On this edition of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, host<strong> Brian Nichols</strong> has an in-depth discussion with <strong>Connor Boyack</strong> from the <strong><em>Libertas Institute</em></strong> about <strong><em>“true conspiracies”</em></strong> – theories that were once dismissed but later proven to be fact. They delve into a number of historical examples, including<strong><em> Project MK Ultra, Operation Northwoods, the Tuskegee Experiments</em></strong>, and more.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Boyack </strong>provides fascinating details on these “<strong><em>true conspiracies,</em></strong>” explaining how the government and other entities have deceived the public throughout history to advance certain agendas. He makes the case that we should be more skeptical when presented with narratives from official sources, given this track record of <strong>lies and manipulation</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Boyack </strong>also examine how emotions are exploited to manufacture consent, using recent <strong>Middle East</strong> conflicts as a case study. They discuss the techniques of <strong><em>“engineering consent”</em></strong> and how these psychological tactics are being employed in the modern <strong><em>“mind war.”</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition, the two liberty advocates talk about focusing your activism locally and outline strategies for creating change starting with your own family and sphere of influence. They share inspirational examples of young people who have made an impact after learning history and principles from resources like <strong><em>Boyack’s Tuttle Twins books</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This jam-packed episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> is full of eye-opening information about <strong><em>government conspiracies, war propaganda, mass manipulation</em></strong>, and more. Tune in to hear this insightful discussion about real conspiracies that have shaped world events and what we can do to spread truth!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The libertarian movement, still young and relatively small, contends with the appearance of gatekeeping due to its nascent stage and the intimate nature of its networks. Originating mainly in the 1970s, the movement has seen individuals attempt to assert dominance, forming distinct factions and perceived gatekeeping. Such divisions can sometimes hinder unity, exacerbated by the personal relationships within a smaller group where critiques can be direct and personal. However, gatekeeping holds limited power in the digital age, with easier access to diverse voices. Platforms like We Are Libertarians (WAL) aim for inclusivity, valuing all contributions to the movement. Depersonalizing criticism and fostering a more inclusive perspective can strengthen unity within the movement.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Studio Sponsor: </em><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><em>Cardio Miracle</em></a> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>What if AI takes propaganda to unimaginable new levels?</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gain a new perspective on <strong>artificial intelligence</strong> and <strong>propaganda </strong>in this thought-provoking episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, as host<strong> Brian Nichols</strong> and economist <strong>Joe Gulesserian</strong> dive deep into the <strong><em>rise of propaganda, its origins in WWI, and how AI could take disinformation to the next level.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Joe </strong>provides a historical overview, explaining how <strong>President Woodrow Wilson pioneered propaganda tactics in 1917</strong> to sway public opinion and support <strong>US </strong>involvement in <strong>WWI</strong>. He formed the<strong><em> Committee of Public Information</em></strong> led by journalist <strong>George Creel</strong>, who recruited media, academics and community leaders to spread pro-war messaging. This led to the world’s first <strong><em>“Ministry of Propaganda”</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation then shifts to how <strong><em>AI and automation could amplify propaganda</em></strong> in frightening new ways. <strong>Joe </strong>explains emerging <strong>AI </strong>capabilities like automated content generation, social media manipulation, and targeted messaging. He warns how bad actors could leverage these tools to spread disinformation at scale and sow division.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian </strong>poses thoughtful questions about the responsibility of citizens to counter propaganda in the AI age. He challenges listeners to get smart on <strong>AI </strong>and use it as a force for truth rather than deception. <strong>Joe </strong>offers ideas like leveraging <strong>AI’s </strong>pattern recognition abilities for rigorous fact-checking of media and government claims.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To ground the discussion, <strong>Brian </strong>brings up real-world examples like the spread of <strong>fake videos</strong> and claims about the <strong><em>Israel-Gaza </em></strong>conflict on social media. This highlights how <strong>AI </strong>propaganda tactics are already creating confusion about global events.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This thought-provoking episode will open your eyes to the <strong>dark side of AI.</strong> <strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Joe </strong>deliver an insightful dialogue full of history, hypotheticals, and calls to action.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of propaganda’s evolution into the algorithmic age!</em></strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 318 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! </p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts, Zach Burcham is your producer. The candidate series, sponsored by Weiland’s Flowers and Slick Pickle Sanitation continues! Our first look into the City of New Castle Clerk/Treasurer’s office. We have Corey Wayne Button and Ashley Huffman as our candidates. This is an open seat, so both candidates would be coming in fresh. Corey manages an auto parts business in town, and Ashley works at the city payroll clerk and as a realtor in the community. Major conversations around city budgets, transparency, and what role the office has in managing bill collections and payments.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Studio Sponsor: </em><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><em>Cardio Miracle</em></a> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Are you a small business owner struggling to grow your business online? </em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> is an absolute must-listen! <strong>Brian </strong>sits down with digital marketing expert <strong>Remso Martinez </strong>to uncover the <strong><em>keys to implementing a successful digital marketing strategy.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Remso </strong>shares his extensive experience consulting and coaching small businesses on how to leverage <strong><em>online marketing tools to drive more traffic, leads and sales</em></strong>. From starting with the basics like getting a website and social media presence to more advanced tactics like SEO, content marketing and email lists, <strong>Remso </strong>provides tangible, actionable advice</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A major focus of the discussion is helping small business owners <strong>understand their customers’ problems and pain points </strong>so they can create trust and value through content. <strong>Remso </strong>stresses going where your customers are, building long-term relationships, and quantifying your efforts with key performance indicators.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some highlights include common objections small businesses face when trying digital marketing, how to maximize limited resources and bandwidth as a solopreneur, and why integrating marketing and sales creates a powerful 1-2 punch.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Remso </strong>also announces the launch of his free eBook <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fsmallbizbook%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0uk5jKkbKoy1fkxlnykkyBhPO4TlSaLnsE0DDHR_vWSn-ZoQD5V4e3hNY&h=AT2LIuDRbGrZbVDm1QlCJk5NMEz31brWLVSyrrZFyuhZo9iaNy824_PdyeQUjBr9vdNYANAENKl7UMMgdyRG0_VdKubgpi7igJiKZ7V0jyTvDsQkhlStq5GYwShfO7QKbw&__tn__=-UK-R&c%5B0%5D=AT3h7bbqckVjTWUYMcKgC2CWbZcyhtNdLpe_pZ_HqK0O4PJSsXXbnq5eJtkSQmxA8xLFoV2IbsSJF38c82QzxQ2Sc08fwA7ExCaiK3sPUnMh7a3mNBSiBB94VE1dyPtV4PHsxAHxgeXS3YzU7VGElYK2834lXaqoPqmgIsdB5MXKsf8XaKfD"><strong><em>“The Small Business Owner’s Digital Marketing Handbook”</em></strong></a> which condenses many of the key digital marketing topics covered in this interview into an actionable game plan.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He shares why he created this resource – to empower entrepreneurs with the knowledge to implement digital marketing themselves rather than rely on expensive agencies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2Fsmallbizbook%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0uk5jKkbKoy1fkxlnykkyBhPO4TlSaLnsE0DDHR_vWSn-ZoQD5V4e3hNY&h=AT2LIuDRbGrZbVDm1QlCJk5NMEz31brWLVSyrrZFyuhZo9iaNy824_PdyeQUjBr9vdNYANAENKl7UMMgdyRG0_VdKubgpi7igJiKZ7V0jyTvDsQkhlStq5GYwShfO7QKbw&__tn__=-UK-R&c%5B0%5D=AT3h7bbqckVjTWUYMcKgC2CWbZcyhtNdLpe_pZ_HqK0O4PJSsXXbnq5eJtkSQmxA8xLFoV2IbsSJF38c82QzxQ2Sc08fwA7ExCaiK3sPUnMh7a3mNBSiBB94VE1dyPtV4PHsxAHxgeXS3YzU7VGElYK2834lXaqoPqmgIsdB5MXKsf8XaKfD"><strong><em><u>Grab the eBook using the link in the show notes for a crash course on SEO, social media, email, and more!</u></em></strong></a></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Struggling with depression or anxiety? Feeling alone and with no one to talk to? </em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This powerhouse episode of<strong> The Brian Nichols Show</strong> tackles the taboo topic of<strong> mental health</strong> head on. Host <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>is joined by guests <strong>Spike Cohen</strong> and <strong>Jonny McCoy</strong>, founder of the revolutionary app <a href="https://www.whiteflagapp.com/"><strong><em>WhiteFlag</em></strong></a>, as they dive deep into creating community support systems. <em>Get ready to have your perspective on mental health radically transformed.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Johnny </strong>shares his incredibly moving personal story of trauma and adversity that led him to eventually create <strong>WhiteFlag</strong>. After suffering immensely with no real support system, <strong>Johnny </strong>realized the incredible <strong><em>power of truly connecting with others going through similar struggles</em></strong>. <strong>White Flag </strong>allows users to instantly and <strong><em>anonymously </em></strong>find someone to relate to, no matter how dark or stigmatized the issue may be.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Spike </strong>also provides tremendous insight, drawing parallels between the mission of <strong>WhiteFlag</strong> and his own organization, <strong><em>You Are The Power</em></strong>. They both aim to empower individuals by showing them they are not alone. <strong>Spike </strong>explains the science behind why human connection is so critical in mental health crises and details tangible ways <strong>WhiteFlag </strong>has already saved thousands of lives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian</strong> then weighs in on how this <strong><em>decentralized, community-driven approach to mental health is visionary and revolutionary</em></strong>. By removing gatekeepers and embracing authentic peer support, <strong>WhiteFlag </strong>gets to the heart of what works. <strong>Brian </strong>shares his own struggles with weight and how connecting with someone going through the same thing was transformational.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Johnny </strong>and <strong>Spike </strong>deliver an inspiring call to action, inviting listeners to get involved with <strong>WhiteFlag’s </strong>mission. <a href="https://www.startengine.com/offering/whiteflagapp">You can also support their efforts by investing in <strong>WhiteFlag’s </strong>current crowdfunding campaign here</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whether you are struggling and need support or are healed enough to help others, <strong>WhiteFlag </strong>provides an incredible opportunity to change lives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Download the app and see the power of community that’ll give you a new appreciation for mental health and human connection!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Studio Sponsor: </em></strong><a href="https://cardiomiracle.com/?ref=3IO-jangCzqMc"><strong><em>Cardio Miracle</em></strong></a> – “The finest heart and health supplement in the world!”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"> </h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The tragic situation unfolding in <strong>Israel</strong>, holistic health solutions, and <strong>standing against evil</strong> – an emotional and enlightening conversation with <strong>Dr. Hadar Elbaz</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On this hard-hitting episode of<strong> The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong>Brian </strong>has an emotional conversation with<strong> Dr. Hadar Elbaz</strong> about the devastating attacks happening in <strong>Israel</strong>. As a native Israeli with family there, <strong>Dr. Elbaz </strong>provides heartbreaking firsthand accounts of the murders, kidnappings and torture occurring. They discuss why it’s critical we don’t turn a blind eye and how this echoes the horrors of the <strong><em>Holocaust</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Switching gears, <strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Dr. Elbaz </strong>explore holistic approaches to health and wellness. With <strong>Dr. Elbaz’s</strong> background in functional medicine and <strong>Chinese </strong>medicine, she explains how <strong><em>she treats patients by looking at root causes instead of just symptoms</em></strong>. This includes analyzing bloodwork, sleep, nutrition, mental health and more to formulate customized treatment plans using herbs, supplements and lifestyle changes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Dr. Elbaz </strong>outlines how in <strong>Chinese medicine</strong>, <strong>meridians </strong>and<strong> neurovascular points</strong> correlate to different organs and functions in the body. By treating these, along with adrenals, liver, gallbladder and more, the goal is to bring patients back into homeostasis and alignment. She also emphasizes the importance of proper sleep, movement, sunlight, community and other pillars of health.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout the conversation, <strong>Brian</strong> and<strong> Dr. Elbaz </strong>stress the significance of<strong><em> facing evil directly</em></strong>, calling it what it is, and standing up against injustice. While being tolerant, they agree <strong>society has become too politically correct at the cost of truth and morality</strong>. This poignant episode leaves listeners informed, enlightened and motivated to fight for good.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Libertarian </strong>candidate<strong> James Wiley </strong>is stirring up <strong>Colorado</strong> politics by challenging incumbent <strong>Congresswoman Lauren Boebert</strong> – hear why he believes <strong>Boebert </strong>has failed to uphold her so-called “values”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, host <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> interviews <strong>James Wiley</strong>, the<strong> Libertarian candidate</strong> running against incumbent <strong>GOP Congresswoman Lauren Boebert</strong> in <strong>Colorado’s 3rd district</strong>. The race is already shaking up <strong>Colorado </strong>politics, as <strong>Wiley </strong>accuses <strong>Boebert </strong>of abandoning her campaign promises.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Wiley </strong>discuss the controversial agreement between the <strong>Libertarian Party of Colorado </strong>and state <strong>Republicans</strong>, in which the <strong>LP</strong> agreed not to run candidates against <strong>GOP </strong>incumbents who pledged to uphold libertarian principles. <strong>Boebert </strong>refused, opening the door for <strong>Wiley’s </strong>challenge. <strong>Wiley </strong>argues <strong>Boebert </strong>falsely claimed to support liberty and has failed to hold the government accountable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Wiley </strong>lays out his platform focused on <strong><em>election integrity, investigating Covid crimes, and fighting child trafficking</em></strong>. He believes the <strong>Libertarian Party</strong> must overthrow and replace the<strong> GOP </strong>in <strong>Colorado </strong>to create real change. <strong>Nichols </strong>reflects on the need for people to speak out against problems rather than rationalize them away, using poor conditions in blue cities as examples.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Wiley </strong>states his goal is to eliminate the federal government entirely and shares his vision for an inevitable libertarian paradise with personal responsibility and freedom. He asks for support from voters interested in shaking up the status quo. <strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Wiley also </strong>discuss the importance of grounding politics in reality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this lively discussion on the state of politics in <strong>Colorado </strong>and beyond! <strong>Wiley </strong>makes the case for his underdog challenge to <strong>Congresswoman Boebert </strong>and outlines his bold libertarian vision!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With an uncertain economic future ahead, how can you protect your finances and prepare for the worst? Financial advisor <strong>Joseph Lombardi</strong> joins <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> to share crucial advice your family needs to hear.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian Nichols</strong> welcomes <strong>Joseph Lombardi</strong>, founder of <strong><em>IronHawk Financial</em></strong>, to discuss <strong>how families can financially prepare for economic uncertainty</strong>. <strong>Lombardi </strong>explains the <strong>4 major economic risks we face</strong>: <strong><em>interest rates, inflation, taxes, and projected market returns</em></strong>. He advises viewers to <strong>budget</strong>, <strong>pay down debt</strong>, and<strong> invest in alternative assets outside the stock market</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Lombardi </strong>points to the <strong><em>car repossession rate skyrocketing 1600%</em></strong> as an indicator of people overextending themselves financially. Full car lots also signal an impending downturn. Historically the car market falls, then housing, then stocks. Without savings and non-market assets, many will be caught unprepared when their home and retirement accounts lose value.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To prepare, <strong>Lombardi </strong>says <strong><em>budget every dollar, pay down high interest debt before investing, and convert paper assets like 401Ks to liquid, tax-free, divorce-proof assets with benefits beyond just returns</em></strong>. Most <strong>Americans </strong>just pay fees to fund someone else’s <strong>Lamborghini </strong>and get nothing in return.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Lombardi </strong>warns against market volatility. <strong>Returns won’t always be 10% yearly. <em>Expect corrections. </em></strong>With debt and no strategy, you’ll be blindsided. To eat this elephant, focus on one bite at a time. Isolate priorities, address them, then move to the next. His advice has protected clients for 20 years without losing anyone a dollar.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Don’t overextend yourself financially.</em></strong> <strong>Lombardi </strong>critiques those spending wildly on credit cards and racking up debt. Get your house in order first. Then build wealth sustainably. With expertise from an award-winning advisor, this video provides priceless advice to keep your family secure!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Are schools killing our kid’s creativity?</em></strong> Get ready to dive into a fascinating discussion on creativity, education, and empowering the next generation with <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>and bestselling children’s book author <strong>Chad Stewart.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In today’s episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Chad </strong>expose how traditional schooling methods are killing creativity in kids. They reference eye-opening research showing <strong><em>creativity scores dropping from 98% in 5-year-olds to just 12% by age 15</em></strong>. <strong>Chad </strong>shares his insights from personally presenting to over <strong>40,000 students</strong> on a national school tour. He observed how the industrialized education model of conformity and standardization stifles curiosity, risk-taking, and imagination.<em> Yet, creativity remains the number one skill employers desire globally.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Chad </strong>takes us behind the scenes of his award-winning children’s book series <strong><em><u>Britfield</u></em></strong>. <strong>Chad </strong>wrote <strong><em>Britfield </em></strong>over 10 years to provide an antidote to the saturation of nonsensical fantasy genres. The fast-paced contemporary adventure novels inspire kids to connect with relatable characters and themes. <strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Chad </strong>discuss how books like <strong><em>Britfield </em></strong>help instill <strong><em>critical thinking and problem-solving versus magical thinking.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The two explore solutions for nurturing creativity including homeschooling, modeling creative pursuits as parents, and giving kids space for free play and exploration. <strong>Chad</strong> shares how the homeschooling revolution is yielding some of the most incredible, well-rounded students he’s ever met. <strong>Brian </strong>emphasizes how focusing on the next generation, rather than just current affairs, is key for building the future.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Chad </strong>gives recommendations for parents and kids including writing stories together and turning interests into projects. He advises removing limiting vocabulary like “can’t” and finding ways to pursue passions. <strong>Chad </strong>recaps how <strong><em>Britfield </em></strong>is bringing creativity and empowerment to classrooms nationwide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This compelling discussion will give you hope and energize you to foster the promise in our youth. Tune in to learn how to spark creativity, reimagine education, and equip the next generation with the skills they need to thrive. <strong>Discover how we can each play a part in shaping the leaders of tomorrow!</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Forget politics as usual. This comic creator is using superheroes to spark a <strong><em>libertarian renaissance</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On today’s episode of<strong> The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong>Brian </strong>is joined by comic provocateur <strong>Jack Llyod</strong>, who is on a mission to <strong><em>shake up the culture using comics</em></strong>. Follow <strong>Jack’s </strong>journey from lawyer to teacher to comic scribe bent on vividly bringing voluntarism to life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jack </strong>unveils <strong><em>The Voluntaryist</em></strong>, his cosmic limited series that flips the script on the conventional comic universe. When a young man gains uncanny powers after a mysterious event, he’s marked for capture by the government goons. <strong><em>Will our reluctant hero embrace freedom or fall prey to the authoritarian regime?</em></strong> The philosophical underpinnings come to life in this action saga.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Jack </strong>analyze why libertarians have struggled in pop culture while progressives have thrived. <strong>Jack </strong>emphasizes the need for killer stories and stellar visuals to succeed, looking to trailblazers like <strong>Eric July</strong>. The independent comic renaissance opens new doors, and the enthusiastic response proves there’s a desire for edgy liberty stories.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian </strong>describes the importance of engagement through culture, using the power of mythos seen in everything from<strong> Star Wars to Harry Potter</strong>. <em>Compelling stories seed ideas in hearts and minds</em>. Thus, creators play a pivotal role in the war of ideas through art.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Jack </strong>issue a call to creative arms to produce culture that shifts freedom forward. <em>From music to movies, quality and execution are essential.</em> Passionate art to change worldviews is within reach. Find out more about Jack’s epic libertarian quest at <a href="https://volcomic.com/">Volcomic.com</a> – and get ready to join the comics insurgency!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover the shocking truth behind <strong>Black Lives Matter </strong><em>“security payments”</em> in this eye-opening interview!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian Nichols </strong>and <strong>Ted Harvey</strong> expose the utter hypocrisy of progressive politics in today’s episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show, </strong>as they dive deep into allegations against “<strong>Squad</strong>” member <strong>Cori Bush <em>funneling BLM donations to her husband’s “security firm”.</em></strong> Did <strong>Bush </strong>exploit a social movement to enrich her family?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Harvey </strong>then analyzes recent polls showing <strong>Trump </strong>beating <strong>Biden </strong>in a<strong><em> hypothetical 2024 rematch</em></strong> – is <strong>Biden’s </strong>radical left agenda backfiring with mainstream <strong>Americans</strong>? Could growing dissent over open <strong>borders</strong>, <strong>transgender athletes</strong>, and<strong> woke indoctrination</strong> hand <strong>Trump </strong>another victory?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Harvey </strong>and <strong>Nichols</strong> don’t just rant about problems – they discuss solutions. Learn communication tactics to persuade average voters on issues they truly care about. <strong><em>Should conservatives focus on national debates or hyperlocal outreach? </em></strong>Can the right message bring auto workers and unions on board?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Biden’s </strong>crises keep compounding, from <strong>inflation </strong>to <strong>looming recession</strong>. <strong>Harvey </strong>argues <strong>Republicans </strong>must become the party of the <strong>“forgotten worker”</strong> if they want to win. Powerful insight from two political insiders on how to defeat the left in <strong>2022 </strong>and <strong>2024</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An episode packed with shocking scandals, polling analysis, and actionable advice. Join two champions of liberty as they expose hypocrisy and light a path to save <strong>America</strong>!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today’s question is “Is it imperative to have a moral society for libertarianism to work? Or will liberty make society function better?” Let’s start by examining morality.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="&quot;Is it imperative to have a moral society for libertarianism to work?" width="1102" height="620" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nlWeyEkbEJs?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The foundation of libertarianism is something called the Nonaggression principle. It is the basic morality that our parents taught us as kids. Don’t hit people. Don’t take their stuff. Treat everyone with respect. Mary Ruwart called it the Good Neighbor Policy in her book Healing the World.</p>
<p>The foundation of government causes us to violate these basic principles. For example, social security takes money from one generation to give to another. Money is a symbol of labor and expertise, and an individual trades their time and effort for the money that is then redistributed to another individual who did not spend effort or time for that dollar. In a word, this is theft. It is immoral.</p>
<p>As private institutions have waned in power and impact, the government has grown in size and scope. As a result, Americans turn to politics to find meaning and seek protection and salvation. The problem is that politics pits one group against another. People begin to act immorally in pursuit of power.</p>
<p>The government also perverts the notion of what is moral. Social security is moral to some because it is a social safety net. Believing this is true necessitates ignoring the theft that takes place to keep the program afloat. Morality does not change because most people voted to make immorality acceptable.</p>
<p>Given these facts, waiting for society to become “more moral” is an impossibility and is unworkable.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Toure </strong>outlines actionable solutions those in restrictive<strong><em> “blue” states</em></strong> can take, emphasizing the need to sue municipalities and states denying gun rights.

Building relationships is critical.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Toure </strong>concludes with the challenges of leading<strong> Black Guns Matter</strong>, including <strong><em>fundraising</em></strong>. He makes an appeal for 2<strong>8</strong>00 supporters to donate <strong>$100 </strong>each towards purchasing a permanent building for empowerment programs at <a href="https://www.givesendgo.com/Solutionary">GiveSendGo – Solutionary Center: The Leader in Freedom Fundraising.</a></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Is Biden’s presidency unraveling?</em></strong> It’s even worse than that, according to <strong>Scotty Saks</strong>. According to <strong>Scotty,</strong> leading military insiders predict <strong>Biden’s </strong>downfall. But is <strong>America </strong>ready for what comes next? Buckle up as we analyze <strong>Scotty’s </strong>take on 3 years of <strong>Biden</strong>, the disastrous fallout, where we go from here, and how to take our country back.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian Nichols</strong> welcomes <strong>Scotty Saks</strong>, a 40-year mainstream media veteran turned whistleblower. He drops bombshells about <strong>Peter Jennings </strong>and <strong>Johnny Cash</strong> allegedly exposing media and music as <strong><em>“a Luciferian satanic cult.”</em></strong> In Scotty’s view, we’ve been brainwashed by mainstream narratives, but Scotty’s sources claim the military is quietly taking control to remove <strong>Biden </strong>and reveal the truth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Scotty </strong>describes an apparent executive order signed by <strong>Trump </strong>in his final days in office, leaving the military in charge, and leading to two factions battling for power. He believes the <strong><em>“White Hats”</em></strong> recognize <strong>Trump </strong>as the actual president and aim to expose the<strong> Deep State’s</strong> supposed crimes, including<strong><em> stolen elections, 9/11, JFK, and more via an Emergency Broadcast System</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Scotty </strong>recounts alleged eyewitness evidence of <strong><em>rampant pedophilia</em></strong>, citing his work with <strong>James Brown’s </strong>band. He argues <strong>Biden </strong>is just an <strong><em>“actor” under Obama’s supposed control</em></strong>, in his opinion, heading us toward a one-world government of central bank digital currency and <strong>WHO totalitarian health control</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian</strong> emphasizes keeping an open yet questioning mindset, rather than blindly believing or dismissing conspiracies outright. He observes people bravely engaging in once-taboo discussions, moving past the narrow Overton window of allowable opinion. <strong>Brian </strong>encourages listeners to tune in and engage with unconventional perspectives while maintaining a healthy skepticism. According to him, <strong><em>we must avoid remaining distracted and complacent, and instead carefully consider claims like Scotty’s, even if we don’t ultimately agree with everything presented.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Scotty </strong>concludes by urging local action and getting involved in city councils, county boards, and sheriff races to take back control. <strong><em>With elites supposedly captured at every level, change starts in our own backyards,</em></strong> he says. And while his shocking interview may alarm some listeners, we emerge with new perspectives, even if we don’t agree with everything said. <strong>Knowledge is power as we strive to reclaim America.</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Is a <strong>Trump-DeSantis presidential ticket in 2024</strong> the key to saving <strong>America </strong>from a<strong><em> fascist takeover</em></strong>? <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>explores this critical question with<strong> Carter Clews </strong>of<strong> Constitutional Rights PAC </strong>on today’s episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Clews </strong>dive deep into the current state of affairs in <strong>America</strong>, with <strong>Clews </strong>asserting <strong><em>we are in the midst of a fascist takeover by big government and big business </em></strong>that is trampling individual freedoms. He argues the conservative establishment is doing nothing to stop this, despite having the power.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Looking ahead to <strong>2024</strong>, they debate whether <strong>Trump</strong> alone or <strong>Trump </strong>paired with <strong>DeSantis </strong>or someone like <strong>Tulsi Gabbard</strong> or <strong>RFK Jr </strong>could turn things around. <strong>Clews </strong>believes the establishment will corrupt the election to install their chosen candidate.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Clews </strong>outlines four scenarios where he thinks the <strong><em>election could be manipulated, including corruption of the Dem primaries, general election fraud, taking out Trump directly, or even assassination</em></strong>. He stresses the need for citizens to pressure their representatives to take action.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Want to learn how to consistently make better decisions and take action? In this jam-packed episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong><em>former NFL exec</em></strong> <strong>Paul Epstein</strong> reveals his<strong><em> proven formula for playing offense in business and life.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Host <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> digs into<strong> Paul’s</strong> 15 years working for <strong>NFL </strong>and <strong>NBA </strong>teams. <strong>Paul </strong>shares how he learned to <strong><em>thrive in adverse environments</em></strong>, from selling the struggling<strong> LA Clippers</strong> to guiding the <strong>49ers </strong>through national controversy. Despite setbacks, he focused on <strong>controlling the controllables</strong> –<strong><em> his mindset, work ethic and attitude</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Paul </strong>also discuss the importance of<strong> will versus skill.</strong> <strong>Paul </strong>explains his hiring philosophy – choosing people based on skill but evaluating them on “will.” He only required three daily things: <strong>work ethic, positivity and coachability</strong>. This built loyalty and unleashed people’s potential.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Making fast, confident decisions is crucial but difficult. <strong>Paul </strong>introduces his <strong>“head-heart-hands” framework</strong>. First align your mindset and authenticity, then take action. If your head and heart agree, it’s a “green light” to move forward. If divided, solve the gap. This prevents analysis paralysis and indecision.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Playing offense requires <strong>decisiveness </strong>and<strong> comfort with imperfect action</strong>. Focus on daily progress –<strong><em> “experience, information, relationships” </em></strong>– not outcomes. <strong>Brian</strong> also shares how this mindset also helped him enable his 180lbs weight loss journey and how confidence comes from consistently acting on values.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Learn <strong>Paul’s</strong> complete playbooks for playing offense and making better decisions. Get his<strong> free confidence quiz</strong> and<strong> keys to build unshakeable confidence</strong> at<a href="%20PaulEpsteinSpeaks.com"><strong> PaulEpsteinSpeaks.com</strong></a>.</p>

We wrap the show up with a segment of “Am I the BHOL?”, a game show hosted by Zach, and Jeremiah and Dakota are the guests.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Were you <strong>pressured </strong>by your <strong>employer </strong>to take the <strong>jab</strong>? Did you<strong> lose your job</strong> fo<strong>r refusing the jab</strong>? Attorney<strong> Ben Carlisle</strong> returns to <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> to reveal your legal rights and options if your employer-mandated the vaccine – revealing the recourse you have if injured or fired over the jab. Get informed on your legal rights as an <strong>employee impacted by workplace vaccine coercion</strong> in this hard-hitting discussion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Ben</strong> expose the<strong> illusion of choice</strong> many employees faced when pressured to take the <strong>COVID </strong>shot. With families dependent on their jobs, workers felt compelled to comply despite hesitations. Yet <strong>Ben </strong>explains how collectively resisting could prevent forced mandates in the future. This lively discussion delivers <strong><em>uncensored truth on the wins, losses and realities</em></strong> facing employees impacted by employer vaccine mandates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You’ll learn the key differences between injury claims for mandated versus incentivized employees, why healthcare workers hold power through united opposition, whether wrongful termination lawsuits have worked, and what to do if misled by vaccine incentives. <strong><em>If you are one of the countless people dealing with consequences of employer vaccine mandates, do not miss this must-listen episode.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The Brian Nichols Show </strong>offers straight-shooting insights on using sales and marketing techniques for effective political communication. <strong>Brian</strong> and his guests tackle controversial topics through a solutions-focused lens. If you are seeking nuanced conversations on critical issues bypassed by mainstream media,<strong><em> this program delivers.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join attorney <strong>Ben Carlisle</strong> in this riveting discussion lifting the veil on employer vaccine mandates.<strong> From coercion to cover-ups, no stone is left unturned.</strong></p>

Sure it’s hard work, but nothing beats face-to-face time with actual voters.</p>

He reveals how they <strong>mobilized to Maui in just 16 hours</strong>, while the <strong><em>government took 6 days</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bryan </strong>makes an impassioned case: <strong>disaster response merits the same scrutiny as national security threats</strong>. By investigating failures in <strong>Maui</strong>, we can prevent future catastrophes. He argues if we could put a man on the moon decades ago, why can’t we save lives today?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But <strong>Project Dynamo</strong> needs public support to sustain their lifesaving work. <strong>Bryan</strong> makes an urgent appeal for you to <strong>donate</strong>,<strong> share their story</strong>, and<strong> raise awareness</strong>. Join him and <strong>Brian </strong>in this stirring call to <strong><em>empower everyday heroes </em></strong>filling the grey void when official help fails to arrive.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Vivek Ramaswamy</strong> DOMINATED the Chaotic <strong>GOP Debate!</strong> <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f631.png" alt="😱" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <strong><em>Here’s Why He’s Got the Establishment Running Scared.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian Nichols </strong>and returning guest <strong>Kenny Cody</strong> dive into the “undercard” GOP Presidential Debate. Political outsider<strong> Vivek Ramaswamy </strong>came out of nowhere (or did he??) to completely dominate the stage, stealing the spotlight from traditional <strong>Republicans </strong>with hi<strong><em>s bold, anti-establishment style.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">His sharp wit and maverick stance<strong><em> reminded many of Donald Trump’s breakthrough in 2016</em></strong>. But could <strong>Vivek </strong>actually<strong><em> INHERIT the MAGA movement </em></strong>and become the next standard bearer for the <strong>GOP</strong>?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Kenny </strong>argues <strong>Vivek </strong>understands the party’s base better than veteran politicians like<strong> Nikki Haley </strong>and<strong> Chris Christie</strong>. His meteoric rise proves <strong>Republican </strong>voters are <strong><em>DONE with the old establishment guard</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But not everyone is convinced <strong>Vivek </strong>is the next <strong>Trump</strong>. <strong>Brian </strong>sees key differences in their <strong>communication styles </strong>that could<strong><em> appeal to disaffected voters seeking substance over bluster</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The debate over <strong>Vivek’s </strong>future prospects gets heated. Will he earn a<strong> cabinet position, VP nomination</strong> or make <strong>a presidential run in 2028</strong>? And where does this leave<strong> Trump in 2024</strong>?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you want to find out why <strong>Vivek’s </strong>breakout debate is making waves and threatening the <strong>GOP </strong>establishment, do not miss today’s episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you <strong>tired of two-party politics</strong> and looking for real <strong>CHANGE</strong>? Learn how this<strong><em> small town Mayor WON with 60% as a Libertarian! </em></strong><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f62e.png" alt="😮" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On today’s episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong>Brian</strong> interviews <strong>Aron Lam</strong>, a nurse turned <strong>Mayor of Keenesburg, Colorado. </strong>After supporting <strong>Ron Paul </strong>and leaving the <strong>GOP</strong>, <strong>Aron </strong>joined the<strong> libertarian Mises Caucus</strong>. When searching for a winnable race, he discovered his town’s mayoral election had low turnout.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By getting involved locally first, <strong>Aron </strong>built relationships <strong>door-to-door.</strong> Instead of rigid ideology, he<strong> focused his campaign on fixing local problems </strong>like high water bills and business obstacles. His strategy paid off –<strong> Aron won the Mayor’s race with 60% </strong>of the vote on a shoestring budget.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since taking office, <strong>Aron </strong>has shaken things up. He removed obstructionist city officials, allowed a farmer’s market, and legalized selling eggs from backyard chickens. <strong>Aron </strong>is proof that<strong><em> libertarians can win local races by focusing on constituents, not just philosophy.</em></strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you a decision maker at your business? If you’re a CEO, CFO, the head of HR, or perhaps the owner of a small, medium or large business then you owe it to yourself to check out this fairly simple solution to save over 50% on your health care spend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Health insurance is usually one of the biggest overhead expenses after salaries for any company and it affects the bottom line of nearly every business. Imagine what your company could do if it paid out less than 50% in its health care spend – while also maintaining a similar if not improved plan for employees.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before you scoff and say that there is no way you can provide your employees high quality care at less than half the cost, just remember that only about 25% of every dollar spent in health care actually goes to caring for patients. There’s plenty of room to cut.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Why Health Insurance Is So Expensive?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reasons for expensive insurance is obviously a complicated question. However, it’s simplest to think of it in just a few ways – especially when we look for ways to bypass the rotten system to save real money for our business.</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>The insurance companies make money by paying out a lot in claims</strong>. This seems illogical at first glance but makes a lot of sense once you realize that the insurance companies are only allowed to use 15-20% of the total they pay out in claims towards profit and overhead. Therefore, the more in claims payouts, the higher amount they can profit.</li>



<li><strong>Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) hang onto the rebates</strong>. Instead of passing on the volume discounts (or rebates) onto the employers and employees they keep that percentage of charges. Just like the insurance companies, the more that is paid out in charges the greater revenue they get to keep leading to ever increasing pharmaceutical prices.</li>



<li><strong>Insurance brokers primarily make their money through commissions from the insurance companies</strong>. This incentive leads them to find only solutions for your company that involve large insurers. The only way you can actually save money is to bypass the traditional means of creating a health plan which most brokers are not aligned to do.</li>
</ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Building a Better Health Plan?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What becomes readily obvious as far as solutions go is that you must create your own self-funded health plan and find transparent PBMs and rational contracting to pay for services. Very few companies are prepared to do this which is why you need to find insurance brokers and third party administrators who can set it up for you. There are plenty around, you just need to seek them out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve had two on in the past whom I reference in the show. Of course, they are hardly an exhaustive list of players in the field but they would be a good start for anyone investigating these solutions for their business: Katy Talento of <a href="http://www.allbetter.health">All Better Health</a> and David Contorno of <a href="http://www.epoweredbenefits.com">Epowered Benefits</a>.  </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not having regular family meals can lead to increased substance abuse, unwanted pregnancies, depression, obesity, and lower academic standards. Reverend Leo Patalinghug, a Catholic priest who founded the Plating Grace Mission and the Table Foundation, and Dr. Michael Foley, a professor of theology at Baylor University and author of over 14 books, including “Dining With the Saints” join me to discuss the importance of family meals and building community around food. Both guests stress the importance of formal and familiar family meals and share personal experiences of how it has impacted their families. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In their new book, “Dining with the Saints,” they blend theology and food as a way to spark important conversations. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell and Zach Burcham are your hosts tonight. It’s blacksmith night as we have Francis Strole of Coal Iron Works and Greg Kountz of Kountz Metalworks. Coal Ironworks manufactures forging equipment for the home blacksmith. The founders have been involved in wild projects, including making a sword for the movie Thor. Giving back to the community, they host a number of maker’s events and training opportunities for people getting into the industry. They have turned Anderson Indiana into a destination for folks that want to create their own job. Francis is probably never going to be asked back to a career fair.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join host <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> in this episode as he sits down with <strong>Brittany Kosin</strong>, a former ER nurse and volunteer firefighter running for<strong> Warwick Township Supervisor in Pennsylvania</strong>. With a focus on <strong>local issues</strong> and <strong>libertarian solutions</strong>, <strong>Brittany </strong>aims to provide residents with a different choice in their township, <strong><em>respecting individuality and diverse opinions</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the key challenges in <strong>Warwick Township</strong> is escalating taxation, a major concern for residents. While the supervisors claim not to have raised millage, a significant number of <strong>home reassessments result in increased taxes, creating a disparity in property values</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Brittany proposes lowering the millage, given the township’s $16 million surplus, enabling it to function effectively while maintaining a strong foundation. Furthermore, she advocates for property rights, empowering owners to make decisions about their properties.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition to taxation, <strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Brittany </strong>delve into crucial <strong>economic issues.</strong> They explore the impact of<strong> permits on businesses</strong>, the<strong> amusement tax</strong>, and the <strong>proposed acquisition of water supplies by Aqua</strong>, emphasizing the importance of maintaining independence and self-reliance. Plus, discover how <strong>Brittany </strong>plans to <strong>empower the Volunteer Fire Company</strong> through<strong> tax incentives </strong>amid the challenges posed by the pandemic and declining volunteerism.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> and special guest <strong>Angie Wong</strong> in this explosive episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> as they delve deep into two critical issues shaping our society today.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First, they tackle the alarming rise of the <strong>“elderly caucus”</strong> in the <strong>2020s</strong>, with prominent figures like <strong><em>Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and Mitch McConnell </em></strong>taking the reins in <strong>Washington, D.C.</strong> The implications of ageism and mental capacity are fiercely debated, as these influential individuals shape laws that will impact our generation and those to come.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Next, they shed light on the hidden agenda of <strong>gender-affirming care in schools</strong>, a growing concern in first-world nations. <strong>Angie</strong> exposes the confusion caused among children and the lack of media coverage on this crucial topic. From government schools to <strong>YouTube </strong>influencers like <strong>Mr. Beast</strong>, the indoctrination is spreading, and <strong><em>Big Pharma’s influence is at the heart of the matter</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The future of our education system and the well-being of our children are at stake! Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that uncovers the root causes of these cultural wars and offers a path towards a more effective education system.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I was on a road trip and dropped in on my friend Kris Bex. He is one of the most well-read libertarians I know, and I wanted to ask him, “How does someone discover their own first principles?” It’s been my experience through reading and learning history that I feel less manipulated, and therefore less anxious, about the world today than many of my friends sitting on social media. Kris gives his perspective on why someone needs to understand their own fundamental principles, and what process they can use to do it. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this captivating episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, host<strong> Brian Nichols</strong> and guest <strong>JP Kirby</strong>, founder of <strong>Student Rights Inc.</strong>, delve into the unprecedented decline of confidence in higher education in the United States. Uncover the staggering <strong><em>$116 billion student loan forgiveness proposal under the Biden administration </em></strong>and its implications for the future of education and student freedoms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>American confidence in higher education has reached an all-time low</em></strong>, with many questioning the value of a college degree. <strong>JP Kirby </strong>sheds light on the indoctrination camps that exist on <strong>college campuses</strong>, <strong><em>breeding grounds for Marxist ideologies</em></strong> that stifle free speech and intellectual diversity.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 307 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts, Zach Burcham is our producer. This week we have Sheriff John Sproles and Captain Matt Pierce on as our guests. A kitten was rescued last Sunday. A new income tax is headed towards the folks of Henry County to pay for 911 service. Our main topic revolves around the Indiana Town Marshal system, where communities can create a police department. Sheriff Sproles expresses concerns that it creates “badge factories” where towns are giving full police power to individuals who don’t necessarily have the citizens as their focus. Long discussion around how the process currently works, what the Sheriff and his team have done to address the issue, and if residents still have full police protection. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Can someone be a libertarian while also being a racist, nationalist, or white supremacist? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The question involves the concept of what it means to apply the label “libertarian” to one’s identity. The traditional definition of libertarianism is the denial of force as a tool for political or social change. So it is possible that one could hold racist beliefs while not wanting to use government to implement their ends, however ugly they may be. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The problem is that Nazis, nationalists, and racists typically do not want their beliefs to stop at the end of their driveway. All three are a form of collectivism that usually lead the person to see force as a tool for social change. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Libertarianism rejects all forms of collectivism. We embrace individualism and individual rights. This means supporting the right of the individual to live their life as they see fit free from collective or state control. It means recognizing the dignity and worth of all individuals. Libertarians want to protect any minority group from the schemes of the majority in an effort to use its power to hurt those out of power.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Free markets demand peaceful cooperation between different groups or factions, so in a free society, there is no financial incentive to hold these beliefs. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This lessens the likelihood of these ideologies existing. Government force is necessary to enshrine and protect these twisted ideologies because the majority of people reject them.</p>

As they explore the significance of liberty and freedom, they remind us why America was once considered one of the freest countries in the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But this episode is not just a nostalgic journey. <strong><em>It sheds light on the significance of America first ideals, particularly for conservatives who have often felt overlooked in the larger liberty movement. </em>Kenny </strong>passionately argues that libertarians too should embrace these principles, which prioritize the core tenets of liberty and freedom.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Venturing into the realm of politics, <strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Kenny </strong>discuss how conservatives can leverage these ideals to secure victories and shape the future of governance.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As this throwback episode reaches its end, <strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Kenny </strong>inspire us to set the narrative rather than explain our beliefs. Drawing wisdom from historical figures like <strong>Thomas Jefferson</strong>, t<strong><em>hey highlight the power of shaping conversations and standing firm in our convictions.</em></strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Get ready for an electrifying episode of<strong> The Brian Nichols Show</strong> as <strong>Dr. Patrick Moore</strong>, former environmentalist and Greenpeace leader, returns to the program to <strong><em>debunk the debunkers and challenge the climate change conversation</em></strong>. In this captivating discussion,<strong> Dr. Moore</strong> <strong><em>reveals the truth behind the modern warming period and the role of CO2 in our atmosphere</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover <strong>Dr. Moore’s</strong> compelling argument that <strong><em>CO2 is not actually adding to the global atmosphere and oceans</em></strong>. Surprisingly, the <strong>CO2 </strong>we are putting into the atmosphere originated from there in the first place! Unveiling the fascinating connection between fossil fuels and the environment, he explains how the<strong><em> carbon in these fuels once existed in the environment and is now being replenished to a healthy level</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But that’s not all! Prepare to have your perspective shifted as <strong>Dr. Moore</strong> delves into the<strong><em> importance of CO2 for plant growth</em></strong>. Did you know that plants thrive on more <strong>CO2 </strong>than is naturally present in the atmosphere? Greenhouse growers worldwide intentionally inject additional <strong>CO2 </strong>into their environments to achieve astonishing growth rates. <strong><em>The increase in CO2 levels has even contributed to a 30% growth boost in natural forests and farm crops</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In his groundbreaking book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fake-Invisible-Catastrophes-Threats-Doom-ebook/dp/B08T6FFY6S"><strong><em>Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom</em></strong></a>“, <strong>Dr. Moore</strong> dismantles the myths and narratives surrounding global warming and climate change. Listen as <strong>Dr. Moore</strong> explores the downward trend in species extinction and uncovers intriguing insights about <strong><em>forest fires, polar bear populations, and the Great Barrier Reef</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>Don’t miss this thought-provoking conversation that challenges mainstream narratives and encourages scientific debate</em></strong>. <strong>Dr. Patrick Moore’</strong>s revelations will leave you <strong><em>questioning everything you thought you knew about climate change</em></strong>. Be sure to subscribe to <a href="https://rumble.com/c/c-1981094"><strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> on <strong>Rumble</strong></a> and <a href="https://sovren.media/u/bnicholsliberty/"><strong>Ben Swann’s Sovren Media</strong></a> for exclusive content, and visit<strong> Dr. Moore’s</strong> Twitter handle, <a href="https://twitter.com/ecosensenow">@EcoSenseNow</a>, to dive deeper into his work. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Experience the explosive drama in this gripping episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>! Join host <strong>Brian Nichols and returning guest Kenny Cody </strong>as they delve into the <strong><em>scandalous controversy surrounding Joe Biden and Hunter Biden </em></strong>that has the <strong><em>White House press corps turning against them</em></strong>. Brace yourself as the show<strong><em> uncovers leaks from whistleblowers and the IRS,</em></strong> exposing <strong>Biden’s </strong>lies about his knowledge of <strong>Hunter’s </strong>business dealings and the <strong><em>use of his name in negotiations</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With passion and hope, <strong>Kenny </strong>calls upon <strong>Republicans </strong>to step up and <strong><em>combat corruption in the federal judiciary</em></strong>. He critically examines leaked documents, text messages, and WhatsApp conversations involving the <strong>White House press corps</strong>, questioning the <strong>President’s </strong>decision to<strong><em> invite Hunter Biden to a state dinner</em></strong>. <strong><em>Shouldn’t the leader of the nation be protecting the integrity of the federal government rather than corrupting it to shield his own son?</em></strong> These questions ignite a fiery debate about ethics, accountability, and the role of the press secretary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the conversation intensifies, <strong>Kenny </strong>passionately expresses his disbelief in the press corps and the media, lamenting the<strong><em> lack of journalistic integrity and accountability</em></strong>. He yearns for a return to true journalism, where tough questions are asked and the truth is sought. <strong><em>Can the American people trust the press to deliver accurate information, or are they being deceived?</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Prepare for a jaw-dropping conclusion as the podcast episode tackles <strong><em>corruption within the Department of Justice and federal law enforcement agencies</em></strong>. While <strong>Attorney General Merrick Garland</strong> argues that the integrity of these institutions is crucial for American democracy and the safety of its citizens, critics argue that blindly defending these departments equates to surrendering our minds and power. <strong><em>Democracy demands accountability and the ability to criticize those in power. </em>Kenny </strong>urges viewers to vote out dishonest individuals and challenge the government’s actions, asserting that the current administration is eroding democracy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this thrilling episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong><em>where the truth is unveiled, and democracy hangs in the balance</em></strong>. Be sure to grab your own <a href="https://proudlibertarian.com/collections/the-brian-nichols-show/products/michael-scott-2024-unisex-t-shirt"><strong>Michael Scott 2024 shirt,</strong></a> and join the conversation on social media.</p>

And because we can’t help ourselves, we talk Oceangate and the submersible that met its demise.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>But not everyone is cheering for the LP’s revolution. </em></strong>They face fierce opposition from critics who accuse them of being too right-leaning and jeopardizing their credibility. <strong><em>Will the LP of Colorado’s bold strategy to attract more liberty voters while maintaining their libertarian roots be their ultimate triumph or downfall?</em></strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover how<strong> Mike ter Maat</strong>, a <strong>Libertarian </strong>candidate for the <strong>2024 presidential election</strong>, is revolutionizing <strong>American </strong>politics in this captivating episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>. <strong>Ter Maat</strong> firmly believes that the <strong>Libertarian Party</strong> provides a compelling alternative to the stagnant two-party system. His vision extends beyond winning the election; <strong><em>he aims to inspire a new generation of libertarian voters and thinkers</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this thought-provoking conversation, <strong>Ter Maat</strong> echos host <strong>Brian Nichols’</strong> mantra of meeting people where they’re at, focusing on the issues they genuinely care about, rather than engaging in fruitless arguments. He sheds light on the growing sense of authoritarianism in the <strong>United States</strong>, pointing out how the two major parties incessantly fight against each other, leaving little room for progress.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Ter Maat </strong>advocates for a bold strategy to ensure the <strong>Libertarian Party’s</strong> impact in the upcoming presidential cycle. By <strong><em>committing to the edgiest platform possible</em></strong>, he aims to distinguish the party from its counterparts. He vehemently opposes military intervention and passionately promotes fiscal conservatism. Additionally, he advocates for criminal justice reform and highlights the importance of market forces in the policing industry. <strong>Ter Maat’s</strong> platform,<strong><em> the Gold New Deal</em></strong>, seeks to reduce government spending, eliminate the national debt, and foster economic growth through the implementation of a gold-backed currency and free market principles.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With conviction, <strong>Ter Maat</strong> argues against <strong>Social Security</strong>, deeming it unethical to subject future generations to a system that offers, at best, a meager rate of return. He firmly believes that the federal government has no ethical or logical role in this business, and it is crucial to communicate this truth to the <strong>American </strong>people, as no one else will. He encourages voters to align with their principles and support the party that best represents their values.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When it comes to messaging, <strong>Ter Maat </strong>emphasizes the <strong><em>importance of appealing to undecided voters whose values align with libertarianism</em></strong>. He acknowledges the concerning presence of individuals who blindly follow instructions, regardless of their political affiliation. Nevertheless, he stresses the need to reach out to like-minded individuals and use language that resonates with them. <strong>Ter Maat </strong>encourages frustrated voters to engage in the political system in a manner consistent with their values, emphasizing that every vote counts. He also emphasizes the significance of speaking truth, even when it is uncomfortable or unpopular, and warns against distorting libertarian messaging to conform to certain demographics’ beliefs, as this can have dire consequences.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join<strong> Brian Nichols </strong>in this compelling episode as he delves deep into <strong>Mike ter Maat’s </strong>vision for a <strong>Libertarian America</strong>.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join <strong>Ryan Binkley’s</strong> movement to bring <strong>unity </strong>and bipartisan solutions to the <strong>United States</strong>! In this captivating episode of<strong> The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, host <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> sits down with <strong>Binkley </strong>to explore his powerful vision for a better America. From addressing <strong>financial</strong>, <strong>healthcare</strong>, and <strong>border crises </strong>to<strong> prioritizing American infrastructure</strong>, <strong>Binkley </strong>offers<strong><em> innovative ideas and a fresh approach to governance</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Binkley </strong>understands the urgency of addressing the <strong>national debt crisis</strong>. His strategy centers on promoting economic growth, reducing government spending, and reforming entitlement programs. He criticizes the government for sending billions of dollars to foreign countries while American infrastructure suffers. With <strong>Binkley’s </strong>leadership, <strong>American </strong>infrastructure will take precedence, and aid will be extended to foreign nations only when absolutely necessary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recognizing the lack of <strong>Republican </strong>representation in <strong>urban America</strong>, <strong>Binkley </strong>believes in the power of freedom and smaller government to resonate with these communities. He proposes a<strong><em> privately funded reinvestment in urban America t</em></strong>hrough community programs, schools, after-school initiatives, job training trade centers, and education. By uplifting our cities and creating opportunities, we can bridge the divide and empower all communities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Binkley </strong>sheds light on the <strong><em>staggering healthcare inflation rates</em></strong>, which exceed regular inflation by 40%. This unsustainable trend erodes our economy. To combat this, he advocates for a volunteer movement called “<strong><em>Serving and Volunteering for Education” (SAVE)</em></strong>. Volunteers will provide tutoring to young students, boosting education levels and reducing healthcare-related expenses in the long run.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Check out <strong>Ryan Binkley’s</strong> campaign for a stronger, united <strong>America</strong>! Tune in to this thought-provoking episode of<strong> The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, visit <strong>Binkley’s</strong> website, follow him on social media, and donate even just $1 to help him reach the critical milestone of 40,000 unique donors.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are the <strong>Republicans </strong>losing their fight against the <strong>Democratic Left</strong>? Join us on <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> as<strong> Kenny Cody </strong>from <strong>Newsmax </strong>uncovers the <strong><em>alarming lack of Republican leadership</em></strong> and their capitulation on critical issues. In this episode, we delve into the controversial debt ceiling debate and the<strong><em> shocking indictment of Donald Trump by Joe Biden</em></strong>, a move that has never been seen before.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The division within the <strong>Republican Party</strong> caused by the debt ceiling bill is on full display, with some <strong>Republicans </strong>voting in favor while others stand against it. The lack of collaboration and a unified party message is making the <strong>Republicans </strong>appear foolish in the eyes of the public. <strong>Kenny</strong> passionately argues that <strong>Republicans<em> must abandon centrism and bipartisanship in today’s political climate</em></strong>. Instead, they should fervently champion their core values against the socialist <strong>Democrats</strong>. He passionately discusses the targeted attacks on <strong>Trump</strong>, pointing out that he is the candidate the establishment, bureaucracy, and nanny state despise the most. The fear they hold for <strong>Trump’s </strong>potential in the 2024 election only fuels his confidence to shake up the status quo.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong><em>But what if Trump wins in 2024?</em></strong> <strong>Kenny</strong> explores the intriguing notion of a scorched earth strategy, envisioning <strong>Trump </strong>gutting federal departments and combating the deep state head-on. He boldly suggests that <strong>Trump’s </strong>indictment is nothing but a political ploy orchestrated by the current administration, <strong><em>weaponizing the Department of Justice against a political rival</em></strong>. And remarkably, this calculated attack might play right into<strong> Trump’s </strong>hands, boosting his momentum in the 2024 primary, where he is expected to be the <strong>Republican </strong>nominee.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Could this political disarray lead the <strong>United States</strong> down a treacherous path towards a <strong><em>banana republic</em></strong>? Will the indictment serve as a rallying cry for <strong>Republicans</strong>? Can independents be swayed by the perception that <strong>Trump </strong>is being <strong><em>unjustly targeted by the DOJ, FBI, and CIA</em></strong>? These crucial factors could shape the destiny of the <strong>2024 election</strong>, potentially leading to <strong>Trump’s </strong>triumph and a seismic shift in <strong>American </strong>politics.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Discover the shocking truth behind <strong>Randi Weingarten’s</strong> controversial reign as the face of the <strong>American Federation of Teachers</strong> in this riveting episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>! Join<strong> Brian Nichols </strong>and <strong>Steve Abramowitz </strong>as they fearlessly dissect <strong>Weingarten’s </strong>actions, shining a light on her advocacy for detrimental policies that have wreaked havoc on American students and families. In a no-holds-barred conversation, these podcast hosts spare no punches as they expose the <strong>devastating effects of school closures</strong>, <strong>mandatory masks</strong>, and <strong>vaccine mandates</strong>, all while<strong><em> Weingarten shamelessly seeks millions in aid for Ukraine.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Prepare yourself for a thought-provoking exchange as <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> and<strong> Steve Abramowitz</strong>, unyielding in their mission to uncover the truth, delve into the heart of the matter. <strong>Steve </strong>boldly names Secretary of Education <strong>Miguel Cardona </strong>as the second-worst figure in politics during the COVID era, (behind only <strong>Anthony Fauci</strong>). But the spotlight quickly turns to the <strong>National Education Association </strong>and its leader, <strong>Becky Pringle</strong>, as <strong>Steve </strong>fearlessly accuses her of subscribing to a<strong> Marxist </strong>communist ideology.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a stunning revelation, <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>and <strong>Steve Abramowitz </strong>expose the <strong><em>dark underbelly of the teacher’s unions</em></strong>, boldly stating that they have<strong><em> transformed into money laundering organizations funneling funds to Democratic politicians</em></strong>. They shed light on a shocking statement by a former teacher union boss, who shamelessly admitted that prioritizing children’s welfare would only occur when students themselves contribute to political campaigns. Alarmed by the <strong><em>indoctrination and manipulation of young minds</em></strong>, <strong>Brian </strong>passionately urges listeners to join the fight against this madness, declaring that it’s high time to stand up and denounce the blatant falsehoods.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Parents, heed the call to protect your children’s education! <strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Steve </strong>emphasize the crucial role of parental involvement in shaping the future of our youth. With a powerful example of<strong> Riley Gaines,</strong> an <strong>NCAA </strong>swimmer forced to compete against a transgender individual without prior notification, <strong>Steve </strong>reveals the stark reality of unisex locker rooms and the lack of transparency surrounding this contentious issue. <strong>Brian </strong>shares his frustration at the suppression of open discourse on this topic, celebrating <strong>Steve’s </strong>courage in engaging in these crucial conversations. Brace yourself for an eye-opening episode that will empower you to challenge the status quo and demand accountability for our children’s well-being.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this electrifying episode of<strong> The Brian Nichols Show </strong>as <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>and <strong>Steve Abramowitz</strong> take a stand against the oppressive policies propagated by <strong>Randi Weingarten</strong> and the<strong> American Federation of Teachers</strong>. Engage in this captivating dialogue, soak in the revelations, and join the movement to reclaim our children’s education from the clutches of misguided agendas. <strong><em>Together, we can ignite change and ensure a brighter future for generations to come.</em></strong> Subscribe now and be part of the revolution!</p>

I am a huge Indy 500 fan, and if you’re not, I would ask, “Why not?” It is incredibly exciting. Thanks to Tom for letting me fill in for him on some of the interviews. If ten-year-old me knew that one day I would get to interview Indy 500 drivers for Bob and Tom, he wouldn’t have believed it.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 301 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! Jeremiah Morrell and Sean Row are your hosts, Zach Burcham is our producer. There is this new era of tipping, and “tip flation”. We do the deep dive into the awkwardness of American tipping. What situations should you tip? Are we paying vending machines? This one will make you cringe, and probably rethink some of what we do. Also, a local landmark has closed, and a world record will be set next week in New Castle. And who will win the pole for the Indy 500?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A funny thing happened on the road to serfdom: while setting out to uncharitably critique libertarians, constitutional law professor Andrew Koppelman ended up being persuaded by F.A. Hayek on the importance of free markets. Still, he has some blistering critiques for other libertarian thinkers, and I’ve invited him on to discuss his new book “Burning Down the House: How Libertarian Philosophy Was Corrupted by Delusion and Greed” in an effort to find points of agreement and disagreement. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in the intersection of technology and society, you won’t want to miss this thought-provoking discussion between <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> and <strong>Thomas Banks</strong> on <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>. As a technology CEO with a passion for tech, Banks brings a unique perspective to the table as <strong>Banks </strong>and <strong>Nichols</strong> explore the implications of drone technology and the challenges posed by technology run amok.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In his book, ‘<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/151730668X/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1677212743&ref_=tmm_pap_swatch_0&sr=8-7"><strong><em>Indefensible</em></strong></a>‘, <strong>Banks </strong>explores the consequences of new technologies such as <strong><em>drones and AI</em></strong>, arguing that they have the potential to cause significant harm if used in the wrong way. From drones carrying explosives in <strong>Ukraine </strong>to the thousands of people killed while using their cell phones while driving, <strong>Banks </strong>reminds us that we must be careful when creating and using new technologies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the conversation unfolds, <strong>Banks </strong>and <strong>Nichols </strong>discuss both the positives and negatives of drone technology, including the need for companies to adjust to the changing landscape of technology and the concerns that come along with it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While <strong>Banks </strong>paints a worst-case scenario, he ultimately hopes that people will find ways to counteract the potential danger. He even discusses a mobile game in his book that attempts to solve the problem of an uncontrollable terror threat by redirecting drones. Whether you’re interested in technology, society, or simply enjoy thought-provoking conversations, this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> is not to be missed.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The pistol brace is a device that allows a firearm to be strapped onto a user’s arm and was initially created for disabled veterans to fire recreationally and in competition with only one arm. The ATF and the Department of Justice claimed that pistol braces are being found and commonly used in more shootings and gang activities. However, Parker explained that pistol braces do not make firearms more lethal and that this new rule is suppressing the ability of disabled American veterans to exercise their Second Amendment rights. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The ATF has projected 40 million pistol brace accessories on legally purchased firearms, which could mean tens of millions of gun owners becoming felons over this new rule. However, there is some optimism that the rule may be overturned, as the Fifth Circuit Appeals Court recently ruled that the bump stock ban was an unconstitutional usurpation of authority from Congress by the ATF.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Parker McCumber is an OEF Veteran, and entrepreneur who currently serves as a Field Artillery Officer in the Utah National Guard. He has over 11 years of experience in combat arms roles within the Army and Army National Guard. He is a Young Voices Contributor. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you fed up with the endless political bickering between the <strong>Democrats </strong>and <strong>Republicans</strong>? Are you tired of feeling like your voice doesn’t matter? Then you need to tune in to this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, where <strong>Brian </strong>welcomes <strong>Todd Hagopian</strong>, a veteran member of the<strong> Libertarian Party</strong>, to discuss the possibility of a third-party candidate in the upcoming election.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Todd </strong>and <strong>Brian </strong>don’t hold back as they dive into the need for sales and marketing strategies in politics and how a third-party candidate could use these tactics to their advantage. They discuss the potential for a third-party candidate, like a <strong>Libertarian</strong>, to challenge the two-party system and provide a viable alternative for Americans who are looking for real change.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But it’s not just talk – <strong>Todd </strong>shares real-world examples of how the <strong>Libertarian Party</strong> has become a refuge for many Americans who have had their rights infringed upon during the COVID-19 pandemic. He notes that the party was one of the few voices advocating for individual liberty during this time, and it’s this kind of bold leadership that sets the <strong>Libertarian Party</strong> apart from other conservative groups.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation then takes a deep dive into the state of the economy and how both sides of the political aisle have contributed to its current state. <strong>Todd </strong>argues that people are starting to see the negative effects of government programs put in place by Biden and his administration. He believes that people are feeling the effects of inflation and decreasing home prices, and that it’s time for a new kind of leadership to step up and make a real difference.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, <strong>Todd </strong>and <strong>Brian </strong>discuss the potential for<strong><em> Liberty Republicans to join the Libertarian Party</em></strong>. <strong>Todd </strong>makes a compelling case that money is a big factor in why<strong> Liberty Republicans </strong>are staying with the <strong>GOP</strong>, and he lays out a plan for how the <strong>Libertarian Party </strong>can attract these individuals and make a real impact.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if you’re ready to hear an honest and no-holds-barred conversation about the future of American politics, then you need to tune in to this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>. <strong>Todd</strong> and <strong>Brian </strong>will leave you feeling inspired and energized to make a real change in the world – so what are you waiting for?</p>

Four years of planning have led to them opening just last week. A community oriented taphouse with signature hot dogs and community style dining. First of its kind in New Castle, which had long been said to be the largest city in Indiana without a taphouse or a brewery.</p>

As a captivating Q&A session with the audience unfolds, Brian shares his journey towards libertarianism and his passion for understanding others’ stories.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Born and raised in Northern New York, <strong>Brian’s </strong>early interest in politics was shaped by his father, a 15-year legislator who exposed him to influential figures like Hillary Clinton (<em>*sensible chuckle*</em>). This foundation led to <strong>Brian’s </strong>involvement in college politics, where he faced challenges in effectively communicating his thoughts and ideas. But instead of giving up, Brian was fueled by a desire to better understand the culture of his generation, leading him on a path of exploration and discovery.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode, <strong>Brian </strong>not only shares his personal experiences but also provides valuable insights on how personal experiences can shape one’s political beliefs and voting behavior. But that’s not all. <strong>Brian </strong>also shares his unique perspectives on politics, economics, and culture, providing thought-provoking insights that will challenge conventional wisdom and spark lively discussions.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do you know what’s really in your <strong>CBD </strong>products? Are you concerned about the lack of transparency in the <strong>cannabis </strong>industry? Do you want to ensure that the <strong>CBD </strong>products you’re buying are safe and effective? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you won’t want to miss this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode, <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> interviews <strong>Brian Fitzpatrick</strong>, <strong><em>the CEO of </em></strong><a href="https://qredible.com/"><strong><em>Qredible</em></strong></a>, a company focused on making the <strong>cannabis </strong>and <strong>CBD </strong>industry more transparent and connecting consumers to quality brands. They discuss the importance of third-party verification and testing of <strong>CBD </strong>products, as well as the lack of transparency in the industry that has led to fraudulent misrepresentations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Qredible </strong>uses <strong><em>blockchain technology </em></strong>and <strong><em>artificial intelligence </em></strong>to verify and authenticate the products of brands in the <strong>CBD </strong>and <strong>hemp </strong>industry, providing consumers with assurance that they’re not unknowingly ingesting harmful substances. And with the launch of a<strong><em> free app later this year</em></strong>, consumers can easily access the research <strong>Qredible </strong>has compiled about the products they’re buying.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if you’re interested in learning more about how <strong>Qredible </strong>is making the cannabis industry safer for consumers, tune in and watch this episode now!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Ludwig, an independent housing policy researcher based in Washington DC, joins me to discuss how housing is becoming less affordable in cities due to supply shortages caused by strict zoning policies, and how this affects not just low-income families, but also middle-class families. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also explore strategies for addressing the issue, such as upzoning, which has been successful in California and Seattle and involves increasing the size of the allowable building envelope on a property. This approach is seen as less objectionable than completely tearing down zoning laws.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you a libertarian feeling frustrated and stressed about being ignored or even opposed in a world that doesn’t always value individual liberty? Then you don’t want to miss this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>! <strong>Brian </strong>shares his insights on how libertarians can use sales and marketing strategies to build trust with non-libertarians and win in the world of politics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Libertarians have great ideas, but they often struggle to connect with mainstream people because of their unconventional views. <strong><em>It’s time to break out of the groupthink mentality and reach out to those who may not be familiar with libertarianism</em></strong>. By using marketing and sales tactics, you can build trust with others and make a real impact.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brian </strong>also shares his personal approach to coping with the stress and frustration of being a libertarian. He emphasizes the importance of physical health, as it is the foundation for living a free lifestyle. He shares his personal journey from weighing 385 pounds to becoming a fitness enthusiast, and how this has helped him<strong> maintain his optimism and motivation</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Optimism and motivation are crucial when communicating with others about libertarian ideas. It’s important to lead with positivity and focus on the positive impact you can make. Change takes time, and it’s important to recognize that everyone has their own individual trigger event that got them thinking differently. By focusing on local issues that are relevant to your audience and meeting people where they are on the issues, you can make a real difference.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if you’re feeling frustrated and stressed as a libertarian, don’t give up hope! Tune in to <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> to learn how you can use sales and marketing strategies, prioritize your physical health, and maintain your optimism and motivation to win in the world of politics.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 295 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts. Zach Burcham is back in the producer’s chair. Andrew Bowman has made the long journey over from Brazil, Indiana to be with us. Spring storms have started hitting Indiana, and many communities got hit. McCormick’s Creek State Park took an F3 tornado directly into the campground, killing two campers, and shutting the park down indefinitely. We discuss the personal responsibility vs DNR responsibility for warning, safety, and general tree maintenance. As there have been reports of other dead trees falling and damaging campers in parks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second half of the show is around tax season. Property tax bills hit mailboxes, and there is some sticker shock. We try to talk our way through how it happened and what taxpayers can do about it. Additionally, there is a pending shortfall in 911 funding, and potentially a new income tax coming along to pay for it. Jeremiah wants to know what happens to the 911 tax money that everyone already pays? </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 294 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts. Chris Stayton is back this week as our producer. We are joined by Gunnar Landon, local R&B singer and concert promoter. Gunnar tells us how the local music scene is developed. We learn how tracks are built, the difference between digital music and old school covers. Gunnar has built the 765 Underground to create a platform for local artists to have a place to play in our community. There is a live music scene in other neighboring communities, but this is something completely different than before. Finally, we talk about Gunnar’s day job at MVP Barber shop, and the Barber Olympics may have been invented.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">James Czerniawski joins me to discuss two recent Supreme Court cases, Gonzalez v. Google and Twitter v. Tamana, which have implications for free speech on the internet and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Section 230 is a law that protects websites from liability for third-party content. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chenowski, a policy analyst, explains that repealing or reforming Section 230 could significantly impact speech online and limit access to new and diverse voices. The Gonzalez v. Google case involves a family suing Google over a terrorist attack in which an ISIS recruitment video was seen on the platform. The family argues that Google should be liable for recommending the video and aiding a terrorist organization. The case raises questions about liability for third-party content and the extent to which companies can be held responsible for the actions of their users.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you tired of feeling like you have <strong><em>no control over your child’s education</em></strong>? Have you ever wanted to take a more active role in what your child learns, but felt like you didn’t have the resources to do so? Well, <strong>you’re not alone.</strong> Many parents have felt the same way, and that’s why on this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong>Brian </strong>sat down with <strong>Jon England</strong>, an education policy worker at the <strong><em>Libertas Institute</em></strong>, to discuss how to give parents more control when it comes to the public education system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Jon England</strong> knows a thing or two about education. He was a teacher and principal in the public school system for 14 years before shifting his focus to empowering parents. During their conversation, <strong>Jon </strong>explained how the <strong>COVID pandemic</strong> revealed the amount of coursework children were doing, and how it gave parents a chance to see what their children were learning (or not learning). This realization has caused parents to become more involved in their child’s education, and <strong>Jon </strong>encourages parents to take advantage of the resources available to them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of those resources is the <strong><em>Utah Fits All Scholarship</em></strong>, which <strong>Jon</strong> discussed on the show. This scholarship allows parents to choose how their child is educated by giving them state funding that can be used for <strong><em>private school tuition, tutors, micro schools, curriculum at home, and other expenses</em></strong>. This gives parents the power to be the consumer rather than just a passive receiver of education. <strong>Brian </strong>even reflected on his own experience, where his mother took him to kindergarten orientation, and how it emphasized the importance of parents having more control over their child’s education.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Parents have also discovered that homeschooling can be more beneficial for their children, as it takes less time and allows them to build stronger relationships with their kids. The pandemic has forced parents to become more involved in their children’s education, as they discover the benefits of homeschooling and the issues present in public schools. In Utah, parents have even fought against mask mandates when returning to school due to the pandemic, which has caused them to delve further into what is happening in the school system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, if you’re a parent who wants more control over your child’s education, then this is the episode for you. <strong>Jon England</strong> and <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> discuss the resources available to parents, the benefits of homeschooling, and how the pandemic has forced parents to become more involved in their children’s education. <strong><em>It’s time for parents to take an active role in their child’s education and give them the best chance for success</em></strong>. Don’t miss this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ted Green is a director, producer, and writer who fell in love with the art of storytelling through film and has made several documentaries, many of them about sports, but also focusing on people and events that celebrate the triumph of the human spirit. His newest film, “The Best We’ve Got: The Carl Erskine Story,” is about Carl Erskine, a baseball player who played a seminal role in two of the great human-rights movements of the past century, first as a teammate and close friend of Jackie Robinson, then as a pioneer in the fight for people with special needs. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Carl Erskine and his wife Betty gave birth to their son Jimmy and discovered he had Down syndrome. Instead of institutionalizing him, they found themselves at the forefront of another fight for the recognition of the marginalized. Erskine went on to play a pivotal role in the development of the Special Olympics. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ted Green also talks about the Erskine Personal Impact Curriculum, which is designed to teach themes of inclusion, diversity, and acceptance using the stories of Carl and other individuals featured in the film. The curriculum has been distributed to schools in Indiana and beyond, with more than 70,000 books distributed so far. The goal is to inspire the next generation to positively impact the world.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do you ever get that sinking feeling when you think about <strong>filing your taxes</strong>? It’s a tedious and complicated process that takes up a significant chunk of your time and money. Well, what if we told you that <strong><em>there’s a better way to do taxes, one that’s simpler, fairer, and more efficient</em></strong>?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the latest episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong>Mike Saliba </strong>joins <strong>Brian </strong>to discuss the <strong>FairTax</strong> system, an alternative to the traditional income tax and sales tax system. This revolutionary tax system would change the way we think about taxes and potentially generate economic growth in the process.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But how does it work? The <strong>FairTax</strong> system is a single point-of-sale consumption tax on new goods and services that would replace the existing income tax, gift tax, estate tax, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax. This means that<em> instead of paying taxes on your income, you would only pay taxes when you purchase goods and services</em>. Sounds fair, right?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Mike </strong>and <strong>Brian </strong>discuss how the <strong>FairTax </strong>system would be beneficial to the economy and create a simplified tax system. They also talk about how this system is equitable, as all individuals would pay the same amount, regardless of their income level. Plus, it would be more efficient than the current tax system, as it would reduce the number of loopholes, deductions, and credits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But that’s not all! The <strong>FairTax </strong>system has bipartisan support and appeals to Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and independents alike. It would also eliminate the tax advantage of coming to the country without documentation and create a financial incentive to do so above board.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, if you’re tired of the traditional income tax system and want a better way to do taxes, tune in to <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> to learn more about the <strong>FairTax </strong>system. <strong><em>Trust us, your wallet (and your sanity) will thank you.</em></strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He discusses the bail process, the issue of bail disparities, and how the bail industry deals with risk assessment. Good argues against the bail project’s disparate treatment claim and that they are bonding out the most dangerous people who must stay in jail.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Do you feel like the government is taking advantage of vulnerable groups and stealing their property? If so, then you won’t want to miss this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>! <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> and <strong>Jim Burling, Vice President of Legal Affairs for the Pacific Legal Foundation</strong>, will discuss how to fight government interference and protect property owners.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode, you’ll hear about <strong>Geraldine Tyler</strong>, a 94-year-old woman who had her property taken away by the government due to unpaid taxes. She was left out <strong>$25,000</strong>, and the government doesn’t even have to return the property in 14 states! Burling will argue at the <strong>Supreme Court </strong>that this is a violation of the eighth amendment’s excessive fines clause and the fifth and fourteenth amendment’s takings clause. Will the <strong>Supreme Court </strong>recognize the injustices faced by vulnerable groups and put a stop to it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But that’s not all. <strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Burling </strong>will also discuss the <strong>Supreme Court case Wilkins v. United States.</strong> This case draws attention to the issue of equity, as those who can least afford it are the ones being targeted. <strong>Wilkins </strong>is a property owner from <strong>Montana</strong> who owns land along a dirt road in a rural national forest area. The <strong>Forest Service </strong>had asked the prior owner of the property for permission to access the road for timber harvesting, and the owner agreed, granting an easement for the <strong>Forest Service</strong> to use. What will the <strong>Supreme Court</strong> decide in this case?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re interested in protecting property rights and fighting against government interference, then this episode is a must-listen. <strong>Nichols </strong>and <strong>Burling </strong>explore how we can fight back against injustices faced by vulnerable groups, and you won’t want to miss it! So grab your headphones and get ready for a thought-provoking and engaging discussion on <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you ready to explore the power of <strong>building coalitions</strong> to create a more free world? In this episode, <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>and <strong>Larry Sharpe</strong> dive deep into the need for building coalitions to create a more free world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Larry Sharpe</strong>, a <strong>New Yorker</strong> fighting to restore normalcy and the state, joins <strong>Brian </strong>to discuss the problems with the current political system. They explore how building coalitions can be used to accomplish certain goals and how it could help us move beyond the never-ending feud between <strong>Democrats</strong> and <strong>Republicans</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation then shifts to the need for centralization and diversification within <strong>New York State</strong>. They explore the challenges of balancing the needs of people in urban areas with those in rural areas and how we can find a compromise that benefits everyone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The discussion then moves on to suggest alternatives for the current system, such as <strong><em>rank choice voting</em></strong>, <strong><em>ballot access</em></strong>, <strong><em>sane gun regulations</em></strong>, <strong><em>police reform</em></strong>, <strong><em>ending the War on Drugs</em></strong>, and <strong><em>supporting local people, unions, credit unions, and coops</em></strong>. They explore how these alternatives can lead to a more just society and help us move beyond the current political gridlock.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation concludes with a suggestion that if the government owes people money, they should be allowed to use it to start a coop, with the government matching the amount, and that if a business shuts down, be allowed to buy it, so they can still keep their jobs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Larry Sharpe</strong> critiques both parties for their lack of substantive solutions, noting that the <strong>Democrats </strong>have an answer of “<em>more money, more debt, more programs</em>,” while the <strong>Republicans </strong>have an answer of “<em>give me $10 a day</em>.” He calls on people to look beyond party allegiance and take the hand that will help them out of their troubles, regardless of whether it is a <strong>capitalist</strong>, <strong>socialist</strong>, or <strong>communist </strong>solution.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this captivating and insightful conversation on <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>. Tune in now to learn how building coalitions can create a more free world and how we can move beyond the current political gridlock.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you looking for a fun and educational book to teach your children about American history? Look no further than “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Calvin-Coolest-President-Austin-Petersen/dp/B0BVDW5VMB"><strong><em>Calvin the Coolest President</em></strong></a>,” the new children’s book written by<strong> Austin and Stephanie Petersen</strong>. Join <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> as he interviews the couple about their new book and how it can inspire young minds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a married couple with a shared passion for limited government and freedom,<strong> Austin and Stephanie Petersen</strong> have been working hard to spread the message of liberty. From <strong>Austin’s </strong>Libertarian presidential campaign in 2015 to their current work with AP4LibertyShop.com and their new children’s book, the <strong>Petersens </strong>are dedicated to creating value in the libertarian movement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Their new book, “<strong><em>Calvin the Coolest President</em></strong>,” is a fun and educational way to teach children about American history. Based on the life of <strong>Calvin Coolidge</strong>, the book is generated using <strong>ChatGPT </strong>and contains factual information about the former president. The illustrations in the book were created using an AI tool called <strong>MidJourney</strong>, which gives a unique depiction of <strong>Coolidge</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <strong>Petersens </strong>hope that their book will help parents and educators educate children on the importance of American history and inspire young minds to learn more. As <strong>Austin </strong>explains, “<em>We want to create something that not only teaches children about American history but also inspires them to want to learn more and be curious about the world around them</em>.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join <strong>Brian Nichols </strong>as he talks to <strong>Austin and Stephanie Petersen </strong>about their new children’s book and how it can be a valuable tool in teaching young minds about American history. Don’t miss this episode of<strong> The Brian Nichols Show</strong> and be sure to grab a copy of “<strong><em>Calvin the Coolest President</em></strong>” for the young readers in your life.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you concerned about the safety of your personal information in the digital age? Are you worried about the increasing threats posed by big tech, big brother, and hackers? If so, you won’t want to miss this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> featuring <strong>Glenn Meder</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode, <strong>Glenn Meder </strong>discusses the three main types of threats that are present in our society today. He sheds light on the organized nature of <strong>hackers</strong> who work with <strong>scammers </strong>to make money off of unsuspecting people. He gives an example of how scammers use fake ransomware notices to get people to call a number that is not actually Apple, which allows them to manipulate and pressure people into <strong>losing hundreds of thousands of dollars</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation is incredibly eye-opening, as it highlights the importance of being vigilant and informed in the digital space. It’s not just enough to trust that the companies we interact with online have our best interests at heart. We need to be aware of the tactics used by hackers and scammers, and take the necessary precautions to protect ourselves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Glenn Meder’s </strong>insights are invaluable, and he suggests looking up a video on <strong>YouTube </strong>that goes into further detail on this topic. And speaking of <strong>YouTube</strong>, <strong>Brian </strong>also mentions his fondness for <strong>Corridor Crew</strong>, a channel featuring CGI artists who have been experimenting with AI and showing the ways it can be used for good AND evil.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, as it offers valuable information on how to protect yourself in the digital age!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">School choice has been around for a long time, but what do the terms of vouchers, tax credits, and education savings plans mean? How can we give parents more control over their children’s education while ensuring students are not stuck in failing schools? Elizabeth Grace Matthew joins me to talk about the fundamentals of school choice and the need to expand these options to those most need it: students with economically disadvantaged schools. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also talk about how school choice is a bipartisan issue, with solid support from both Democrats and Republicans, and she shares a personal story about sending her kids to a parochial school in Philadelphia during the pandemic. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you ready for a thought-provoking conversation about the current state of America? Then you need to check out <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>! In this episode, <strong>Brian </strong>is joined by<strong> Matt Battaglia</strong>, master storyteller from <strong>Free the People</strong>, to discuss his new book <a href="https://www.amazon.com/House-Fire-Matthew-Battaglia/dp/1736860569"><strong><em>House on Fire</em></strong></a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This isn’t your ordinary political discussion. <strong>Matt’s </strong>new book <strong><em>House on Fire</em></strong> is a cautionary tale, taking elements of the past three years and fictionalizing them to make it into a story. It is emotionally driven and explores the darkest parts of society and the cycle of destruction that could occur if it continues. <strong><em>It’s like a dystopian novel come to life, and you won’t be able to look away.</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During their conversation, <strong>Matt </strong>and <strong>Brian </strong>discuss how<strong> stories have the power to change the world</strong>. They believe that it is important for people to <strong>tell stories to set narratives </strong>and respond to errors in order to<strong> preserve truth</strong>. They also delve into the current pandemic and the supply chain issues that have arisen, such as the increase in beef prices and difficulty in finding eggs. They suggest that M<strong>a</strong>tt’s new book can be read into in different ways, making it perfect for those who love a good debate.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But this isn’t just a discussion about politics and society. It’s about the <strong>power of storytelling</strong> and how it can make a difference in the world. <strong>Matt </strong>has been working for <strong>Free the People </strong>for some time, producing documentaries and the show <strong>Kibbe on Liberty</strong>, and has been drawing comics for many years. His experience in storytelling shines through in this episode, and you won’t want to miss a second of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, if you’re looking for a unique and engaging discussion about the current state of America and the power of storytelling, then <strong>The Brian Nichols Show </strong>is for you. Tune in to learn how to use sales and marketing to win conversations about political issues and hear from a master storyteller about his new book<strong> House on Fire</strong>. Get ready for a discussion that will leave you thinking long after it’s over!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Why does China want to invade Taiwan? My guest Zachary Yost is a co-host of the War Economy and State podcast and a young Voices Contributor, and we take a deep dive on the differences between Ukraine and Taiwan and how China would fare if they invaded. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
 <iframe loading="lazy" title="Why China wants to invade Taiwan: A deep dive into the conflict with Zack Yost" width="1102" height="620" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GnaxTuWMeHI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Taiwan is an island about 90 to 100 miles off the coast of mainland China, and officially it is the Republic of China with over 23 million people. It’s the side that lost the Chinese Civil War, and the government still claims it is the sovereign ruler of mainland China. Chiang Kai-Shek retreated to the island, and the US provided varying amounts of aid over the years. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the other hand, the People’s Republic of China claims that Taiwan is a breakaway province and not an independent country. The world no longer recognizes Taiwan as China, and it was removed from the Security Council at the United Nations in the 1970s in favor of the CCP government. The US has been a partner of Taiwan for a long time, and the US has provided varying amounts of aid over the years. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Taiwanese identity is a contentious issue within Taiwanese politics. While most of the population, especially younger people, identifies as Taiwanese, not Chinese, it is a lasting piece of historical fiction in the government they hold onto that they can’t really get rid of. Taiwan does not want to declare independence, which is a very nuanced issue. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, the comparison between Ukraine and Taiwan is usually rather simplistic and has an agenda behind it. In his article, Yost discusses the differences between Ukraine and Taiwan regarding their ability to defend against invasion. Ukraine has a vast land border that is easy to cross, while Taiwan is an island surrounded by water. Additionally, Russia and China have different border disputes, with Russia having mostly resolved its issues and China still having ongoing conflicts with India and Vietnam. Tactically it would be much more difficult for China to invade Taiwan, as the Taiwanese have prepared extensively for potential amphibious assaults for decades. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unlike in Ukraine, Yost suggests that it is in the US’s interest for Taiwan to remain independent but not in its interest to defend Taiwan itself. Taiwan is a more significant strategic partner for the US than Ukraine. Instead, the US should sell Taiwan weapons to facilitate its ability to deter and defeat an invasion. He argues that China has structural weaknesses, and the invasion of Taiwan would not herald the end of the world. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zack Yost is a freelance writer and researcher. He was a Fall 2021 Marcellus Policy Fellow with the John Quincy Adams Society and has been published in a variety of outlets. You can subscribe to his newsletter and follow him on Twitter @ZacharyYost. Co-Host of the War Economy and State podcast. He is also a young Voices Contributor. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 290 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, and Zach Burcham are your hosts. Alps Brau beer has been re-launched and Brad Klopfenstein is the driving force. A beer originally found in Indiana in the 1950’s through late 1970’s has now come back in force. Huge turnout for the launch earlier this month, the plan is for the product to be available in Central and Northern Indiana right away!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Brad’s driver tonight is Jim Merritt, who was a member of the Indiana State Senate for 30 years, retiring in 2020. Jim is considering a run for Governor of Indiana in 2024 and we talk about energy policy, criminal justice reform, and political labels. Should school board members have a party label on the ballot? And how much power should the office have, particularly in response to another pandemic?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How can cultural conversations help spread the Libertarian message? Tune into <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, where host <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> and guest <strong>Brian McWilliams</strong> of the <strong><em>“Mean Age Daydream” </em></strong>podcast discuss the<strong> power of cultural conversations</strong> in spreading the Libertarian message.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>McWilliams </strong>argues that Libe<strong>r</strong>tarians should take advantage of social media to engage people in conversations about trending topics and add their insight. He emphasizes that culture leads politics and engaging in cultural conversations is essential for political success. <strong>Nichols </strong>agrees and adds that Libertarians often have fun conversations about culture that can help spread the Libertarian message.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But it’s not just about having fun conversations. Nichols and McWilliams discuss the importance of <strong>prioritizing culture wars</strong> over election campaigns to spread the Libertarian message. They emphasize the <strong>need for leaders</strong> that people can look up to and emulate, rather than those who are “hot messes.” They cite a recent podcast episode about beloved author Roald Dahl as an example of how engaging in cultural conversations can help spread the Libertarian message.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conversation also touches on how culture is impacting discussions about the <strong>COVID-19 pandemic</strong>, with <strong>McWilliams </strong>pointing out how the<strong> New York Times</strong> published an opinion piece that allowed a discussion of the effectiveness of masks. Culture is being used to discuss how to live our lives, run our businesses, and educate our children, making cultural conversations essential for political success.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Nichols</strong> also shares his experience making YouTube shorts that have been successful in engaging people, even if they love or hate the content. He emphasizes the importance of using social media to get people engaged and shares a meme of a woman working out numbers in her head as an example of how people engage with content.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if you want to learn how to spread the Libertarian message through <strong>cultural conversations</strong>, tune into <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>. <strong><em>It’s time to prioritize culture wars and engage people on important topics.</em></strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you tired of conflicting information about masks and their effectiveness in preventing the spread of respiratory illnesses? Look no further than <strong>The Brian Nichols Show!</strong> For 3 years, we have been questioning the mainstream narrative and challenging the consensus, and now scientific studies are backing up their claims.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join host<strong> Brian Nichols</strong> as he dives into the science behind mask mandates and discusses how dissenting viewpoints are essential to the scientific process. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/21/opinion/do-mask-mandates-work.html">In a recent New York Times article</a>, <strong>Oxford epidemiologist Tom Jefferson</strong> concluded that there is<strong> no evidence that masks make any difference</strong> and that the studies that initially persuaded policymakers to impose mask mandates were flawed observational studies. But why were we forced to wear masks for so long without concrete evidence of their effectiveness?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions and <strong><em>challenge the mainstream experts and pundits who were wrong about mask mandates</em></strong>. From the Director of the CDC to conspiracy theorists and quack cure peddlers, the show covers it all. Tune in to The Brian Nichols Show and join the discussion today!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Brian Wohlgemuth and Vaughn Spargur join me to explain the basics of the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, where a Norfolk and Southern train carrying dangerous chemicals derailed and dumped about 50 cars on the ground. </p>

<iframe loading="lazy" title="Is Norfolk Southern Putting Profit Over Safety Regulations? Explaining the Ohio Train Derailment" width="1102" height="620" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Rg29Hoax2KA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite the severity of the incident, the mainstream media coverage has been inadequate but has shown the power of alt media to hold mainstream media more accountable. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We discuss the concerns around the chemicals being released and the lack of trust in the EPA to handle the situation. Additionally, we touched on other pollution issues in Ohio, including Superfund sites. People are getting their testing done privately due to distrust of the EPA’s testing practices, and the administration has been largely absent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The episode also covered a New York Times article that discussed Norfolk Southern’s profits and accident rates. The article revealed that the company paid shareholders nearly 18 billion dollars through stock buybacks and dividends in the past five years, twice the amount invested in railways and operations. The company neglected to invest in safety regulations, such as modern braking systems and stronger tank cars. A recent train wreck raised questions about the company’s safety protocols and inspection practices, and the recent strike was partially due to safety concerns. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We also discuss the controversy surrounding a 2015 safety regulation requiring electronically controlled pneumatic brakes for certain high-hazard flammable trains carrying at least 20 consecutive cars filled with liquid liquids like crude oil. The Trump administration repealed the rule in 2018 after lobbying by the railroad industry. According to experts, this rule wouldn’t have mattered with this accident.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jocelyn recently wrote on our Instagram (@podcastingap) and asked about creating something visual for YouTube. She said that it was exhausting and that she only did one segment. So how important is it to make a video version of audio content for YouTube podcasts? </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Q&A - Should I Do Video or Just Audio for My Podcast?" width="1102" height="620" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_luFwU8JobI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Creating a video for YouTube can be daunting, but is it worth it? To help with that decision, I want to refer you to a previous video on the pros and cons of video content. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I looked at her video to answer her question and explained what we had discussed. My first impressions are that it’s impressive for an audio-only podcast featured on YouTube. It’s really well done. I’d love to know what software you used for this, so please comment below and let me know, and I’ll let other people know.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You said it took a ton of time, which is understandable, but you have to evaluate the time commitment versus the number of people viewing it. It sounds like you’re already burnt out after doing one. Could you have gotten those 10 views with something that took you 15 minutes using the Headliner software, which is automated? You have to balance the quality vs. the time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Quality is always going to get you more views over time. Two years from now, if you’re putting in that time and dedication, you will have more viewers on YouTube than something a little bit simpler. For example, I use Headliner and other software to produce videos, but they get fewer views than the more complex and well-done videos. But what is that number? Is it 50 views per show with Headliner, which is automated, and 100 views for something you spent hours on? Is that a good tradeoff? In my mind, no. You’d be better off putting time into the content part instead of the distribution part. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Time is at a premium, and my central focus for distribution is a quality audio product. YouTube is a secondary service to give podcast listeners on the platform access to my content, and it is not my main focus. There are so many platforms for distribution and don’t try to do them all. Just put time into what gets you the best return for your goals. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, Jocelyn, take some time to evaluate your approach and decide what works best for you. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you ready to uncover the world of financial secrecy and corruption? Join <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> and guest , <strong>Raymond Baker</strong>, as they dive into the world of “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Trillions-Imperiling-Capitalism-Democracyand-ebook/dp/B09YDT98PY"><strong>Invisible Trillions</strong></a>” in this eye-opening episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>. <strong>Raymond</strong>, an expert with 35 years in the business world and author of “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Capitalisms-Achilles-Heel-Free-Market-System/dp/1119086612"><strong>Capitalism’s Achilles Heel</strong></a>“, argues that the separation of <strong>capitalism </strong>and <strong>democracy </strong>could lead to the downfall of our democratic capitalist system.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But it’s not all doom and gloom. <strong>Raymond </strong>suggests the solution lies in <strong>transparency </strong>and <strong>accountability</strong>, which can come from both the <strong><em>government and private sector</em></strong>. With <strong>Brian</strong>, they explore the role of both entities in solving this problem and the importance of leading by example.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this chance to gain insight from <strong>Raymond’s</strong> new book, “<strong><em>Invisible Trillions</em></strong>“, and learn how you can play a part in promoting fairness and transparency in the business world.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we delve into the heated debate over YouTube sensation – <strong>MrBeast</strong>.</p>
<p>His recent act of generosity – <strong><em>funding cataract surgeries for 1,000 people</em></strong> – has taken the internet by storm, with 59 million views in just three days. But, not everyone is applauding his efforts, including Twitch streamer and political commentator, <strong>Hasan Piker</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Piker </strong>questions the morality of a wealthy YouTuber providing access to life-changing surgeries while many Americans struggle to afford it. But, what if it’s the government’s failure to solve these problems that leads to individuals like <strong>MrBeast </strong>needing to step in in the first place?</p>
<p>By taking personal responsibility and making a difference, <strong>MrBeast</strong> is showing us the <strong><em>power of individual action and charity</em></strong>.</p>
<p><em>So, where do you stand?</em></p>
<p>Is <strong>MrBeast </strong>a true champion of social good and is using his platform to create positive change? Or is he simply taking advantage of the less fortunate while monetizing content?</p>
<p>Join us as we dive into this compelling debate and discover what it means to embrace<strong> self-reliance</strong>,<strong> individual responsibility</strong>, and<strong> private charity</strong>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Later, we explore the changes in the country’s political dynamic, including the influence of 9/11 and the pandemic on personal freedom. <strong>Chase </strong>says that it’s time for libertarians to step up, be professional in their messaging, and meet voters where they are. Embrace empathy and positivity, and watch as you connect with the next generation of voters and the <strong><em>Gen Z vote</em></strong>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Get ready to dive into the political side of the<strong><em> COVID-19 pandemic</em></strong>! On this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, host <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> is joined by Nick Hudson from <strong>Panda</strong>, a multidisciplinary organization that provides insightful analysis on COVID-19. <strong>Nick </strong>reveals that the pandemic is not just a medical issue, <strong><em>but a political one as well</em></strong>. Discover the surprising connections between the intelligence agencies of Western nations and the spread of COVID-19, including the use of fake videos and a<strong><em> plot to keep the truth from the public</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Explore the shocking claims that the COVID-19 pandemic wasn’t caused by a virus, but by the <strong><em>spread of panic and hysteria</em></strong> triggered by high sensitivity <strong>PCR tests</strong>. The conversation delves into the impact this had on healthcare standards, leading to people being <strong>isolated</strong>, <strong>moved from facility to facility</strong>, and <strong>denied treatment</strong>, resulting in <strong>increased deaths</strong>. The data does not support a viral spread, but instead supports the spread of testing kits.</p>
<p>This episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> is not just about the COVID-19 pandemic but also highlights the increasing awareness of political and global events among people. Join in as <strong>Nick </strong>shares his optimism for a better future and the growing number of people waking up to the truth. Don’t miss this thought-provoking discussion on misinformation, conspiracy theories, and censorship. Will our message be censored again on social media? Stay tuned!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Episode 287 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Zach Burcham, and Bash Crider are the voices this week. Bash is back to wrap up the conversation from last year around younger folks and estate planning options. Five simple takeaways. Is Crypto dead? Possibly, a little bit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The big story is around the business of many breweries closing, why are they disappearing? And will the new one in Henry County have a path to success? (Spoiler; yes it will). And ultimately for success, downtown areas like New Castle need to have market based apartments available. Bash shares the story of how difficult it is to find a place to live that isn’t government regulated.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And finally, a local story has made national news. A dog went missing on a road trip from California to East Central Indiana in New Mexico, but there will be a happy ending!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you tired of politicians making empty promises and not addressing the real issues in your city? Look no further than <strong>Libertarian </strong>candidate <strong>Ronald Tracy Robison</strong>, who is running for city council in <strong>Jacksonville, Florida</strong>. In this episode, <strong>Robison </strong>sits down with host<strong> Brian Nichols</strong> to discuss the negative impact of government intervention on the free market during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically in the supply chain and the resulting economic deficit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He also cites the <strong><em>shut down of 130 businesses and 67% of jobs not returning</em></strong> as a result of the safer at home law implemented by the Republican mayor. <strong>Robison </strong>also shares his thoughts on the negative impact of the CDC moratorium on the housing market, leading to a rise in <strong><em>crime and homelessness</em></strong>. He also discusses the current housing market in Jacksonville and how it is not as strong as it appears, with debt being moved from one sector to the next, resulting in <strong><em>higher costs for housing</em></strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But <strong>Robison </strong>doesn’t just point out the problems, he also offers solutions. He suggests that private companies can be contracted to fix infrastructure issues such as flooding in the Ocean Way area and proposes regular inspections to prevent similar issues in the future. He also expresses his support for <strong>school choice</strong>, and argues that property tax reform would be necessary in order to support school choice and vouchers for other schools.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from a candidate who truly wants to make a difference in <strong>Jacksonville</strong>. Tune in now and be part of the change you want to see in your community!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Are you tired of petty squabbles and infighting within the libertarian movement? Look no further, because in this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, we’re diving deep into the recent dispute between <strong>The Daily Wire</strong> and conservative media personality <strong>Steven Crowder</strong>. But this isn’t just another fight between two big names, it’s a reminder of the importance of <strong><u>unity and collaboration</u></strong> within the movement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’ll be breaking down the specific accusations made by <strong>Crowder </strong>and <strong>The Daily Wire’s</strong> response, as well as discussing whether or not the clauses in question are standard in the industry and if they were fair. But that’s not all, we’ll also be exploring the harm that this kind of public dispute causes to the movement’s reputation and effectiveness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Don’t miss out as we delve into the importance of putting aside personal differences and focusing on the<strong><em> bigger picture</em></strong> in order to further the liberty movement! </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, and Zach Burcham are your voices. Our special guest is Jeff Watterson, the ultra marathon runner. He is fresh off a 100 km run in the Bandera 100 in the hills of Texas. His plan was to do the 63 miles in about 13 hours, but he knew he had a problem by mile 9. We talk about how he engineered his way through the race to get to completion. Jeff stopped sweating and found a way to get to completion. He contends that anyone can do this. Is Dakota ready to try?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Join host<strong> Brian Nichols</strong> on this explosive episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> as he sits down with guest <strong>Tony Brasunas</strong>, a former corporate media insider, to discuss the shocking truth about the media’s role in dividing Americans. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tony, who is currently writing a book about his experiences called “<a href="https://www.redwhiteandblind.com/"><strong><em>Red, White and Blind</em></strong></a>“, shares his personal story of being terminated from <strong>Huffington Post</strong> for advocating for <strong>Bernie Sanders </strong>during the 2016 Democratic primary. In this episode, Tony delves into his book, which exposes the censorship and deception in the media and how it affects everyone, not just one side of the political spectrum. He also provides specific examples of censorship in recent events such as the <strong>Jeffrey Epstein</strong> <strong>case</strong>, the<strong> origin of the</strong> <strong>Coronavirus</strong>, the<strong> Hunter Biden laptop story</strong>, and the <strong>Russian bounties</strong> story. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Later, <strong>Brian </strong>and <strong>Tony </strong>share their final thoughts and discuss the importance of media consciousness and balancing one’s media diet to see different sides of issues. Don’t miss this eye-opening episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong> as we uncover the truth behind the corporate media’s manipulation of news narratives.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you tired of feeling left out of the cultural conversation? Are you ready to take a stand and shape the narrative to reflect your libertarian values? </p>
<p>Then it’s time to dive into the dreaded <strong><em>“culture war”</em></strong>! </p>
<p>In this episode of <strong>The Brian Nichols Show</strong>, <strong>Brian </strong>explains why it’s crucial for libertarians to actively participate in cultural conversations and work towards building a culture of our own. </p>
<p>With the influence of media, the entertainment industry, and social media on shaping public opinion, it’s more important than ever for libertarians to have a strong presence in the cultural arena. But it’s not just about promoting our own ideas, it’s also about defending our values and principles against those who seek to undermine them. </p>
<p><strong><em>Don’t wait any longer, join the culture war and make your voice heard!</em></strong> Together, we can work towards a world where freedom is valued over government control and coercion.</p>
<p><em>So, are you ready to take a stand and shape the narrative?</em></p>
<p>Listen to today’s episode to find out how you can make a difference!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <strong><em>The Brian Nichols Show</em></strong>, host <strong>Brian Nichols</strong> takes listeners on a journey to uncover the truth behind the COVID-19 lockdowns. From his own personal experience of fleeing a blue city and moving to the Midwest, to an in-depth analysis of the science and politics behind the lockdowns, this episode leaves no stone unturned.</p>
<p>Joining <strong>Brian </strong>is filmmaker, <strong>Hawk Jensen</strong> from the <strong>Sound Mind Creative Group</strong>, who has been working on a groundbreaking series,<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/follow-the-science-lockdowns-go-viral-premiere-hosted-by-tom-woods-tickets-499005527967"> “<strong><em>Follow the Science: Lockdowns Go Viral</em></strong>“</a>, that delves into the mysteries surrounding the pandemic.</p>
<p>They reveal the untold story behind the manipulation of minds, the suppression of dissenting voices, and the rewiring of our brains through technology, that led to <strong><em>mass compliance and acceptance of the lockdowns</em></strong>. As the pilot episode is about to be released, listeners will be the first to get a sneak peek of this highly-anticipated series.</p>
<p>But it’s not just about the past – <strong>Hawk </strong>is optimistic that the absurdity of the situation has awakened many people who are now questioning what they have been told, leading to a new world of individuals who are more aware of their own individuality and more resistant to control and manipulation.</p>
<p><strong><em>Don’t miss this eye-opening episode of The Brian Nichols Show, as we uncover the truth behind the COVID-19 lockdowns!</em></strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian welcomes back Angela McArdle, chair of the Libertarian Party, to discuss the progress and challenges the party has faced over the past year.</p>
<p>We start by discussing the financial state of the party, with Angela sharing that the LP ended the year on a strong financial point, with revenue close to $2 million, the strongest in 20 years.</p>
<p>Angela also talks about the outreach efforts the party has undertaken in the past six months, including a big Bitcoin live stream and outreach to the Bitcoin community, and building relationships with social media influencers in the health and fitness community. She highlights the importance of cultivating relationships with people who are not afraid of risk-taking and want to stand up for what’s right.</p>
<p>We also touch on the ongoing challenges faced by the party, including the fear of change and the risk of the consequences that come with it. We discuss the importance of building confidence within the party and the need for more members who are fearless and courageous. And finally, we wrap things up by discussing the importance of messaging, voter outreach, and fundraising when running for local office.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Join us as we speak with <strong>Jen Jacobson</strong>, owner of <strong>Beloved Cheesecakes</strong>, about her experience as a small business owner who fought back against the government mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
<p>Jen faced challenges and backlash from the government for keeping her business open, but she persevered and fought for her rights. Instead of shutting her doors during the pandemic, she chose to keep open and serve her customers. <strong><em>She showed that small businesses are ESSENTIAL to local communities; that they should not be shut down just because of a government mandate. </em></strong></p>
<p>Later, Jen shares her personal journey in Oregon and touches the ongoing divide between left and right on the COVID-19 issue. She outlines the challenges of being a small business owner and how she was able to overcome them and shares her thoughts on the current political climate in our country, including why it is so important for all opinions to be heard and respected.</p>
<p>We also discuss the double standard in politics and the importance of understanding voter outreach and fundraising for those running for local office.</p>
<p>Jen is a model for small business owners in standing up for their rights and for the importance of grassroots organizing. She is a great example that small businesses can be forces for positive change in the world, and <strong>we need more people like her</strong>.</p>
<p>Tune in for an inspiring and informative conversation!</p>

<p>**I know it’s Kevin McCarty. I can’t stop saying Mike McCarthy, and I don’t know why. The entire episode of the last podcast, I said it incorrectly but I assure you that I know the Cowboys coach isn’t the Speaker of the House. I apologize for when it happens repeatedly in the future.</p>
<p>My cohosts didn’t correct me because they thought I was trolling them into an argument and another thought I was doing a bit. Nope. Just stupid.</p>

<p>And finally, Congress is a mess. We try to figure out who is serious, and who isn’t. Will we get a speaker soon? Which immovable object moves first?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As libertarians, we often focus on individual liberty and personal responsibility when discussing how to solve America’s problems. But it’s also important to consider the perspectives and experiences of those around us.</p>
<p>Many Americans are struggling with a lack of economic opportunity and have been left behind by the current system. Increasingly, these individuals are looking to government as the only viable solution to their problems.</p>
<p>In this episode, we explore how libertarians can use empathy and understanding to better understand and connect with others, and ultimately sell libertarian ideas to a wider audience. We discuss the importance of listening and asking questions, as well as the role of storytelling and building trust. We also address common misconceptions about libertarianism and offer strategies for combating them. Tune in to learn how you can use empathy and understanding to more effectively advocate for libertarianism.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 283 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Zach Burcham are your hosts this week. Dakota was on assignment, so Jeremiah hijacked the show for motorsports. We have Hoosier and ARCA/NASCAR driver Brayton Laster in the studio, preparing to go to Daytona for Speedweeks. Gavin Newton is his PR man, graphic design rep, and noted driver wrangler…All while trying to finish high school. We get the first mention of “rizz”, the detail on how you go from figure 8 racing at the Indianapolis Speedrome, to Knoxville NASCAR dirt racing, and the Talladega high banks. Gavin, being the ultimate networker, tells the story of how he became best friends with Jimmie Johnson and the Carvana team.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian discusses the similarities between libertarians, sales professionals, and entrepreneurs. He argues that sales professionals and entrepreneurs should consider libertarianism as a means to not only enact their political ideas, but also the values they embrace in their daily business endeavors.</p>
<p>Brian highlights how principles such as avoiding debt, making smart investments, and understanding the importance of incentive structures are already enacted in the world of business and sales. He also discusses how libertarianism’s focus on individual responsibility and freedom align with the principles and values of those in the sales and business world.</p>
<p>Brian concludes by inviting sales professionals and entrepreneurs to consider libertarianism as a viable political option and to learn more about its principles and values.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you tired of feeling trapped by the two-party system in the United States? Do you believe that supporting third parties is not a wasted effort? If so, then you’ll love the new indie film “LET’S PARTY”.</p>

<p>This is a re-airing of our popular episode featuring the movie’s director, so don’t miss your chance to see it again and spread the word. Together, we can end the duopoly and open up the political landscape to new possibilities!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this special episode of the program, we are joined by former US diplomat Ethan Chorin to discuss the events of Benghazi – 10 Years Later.</p>
<p>Chorin was one of a few US diplomats posted to Libya in 2004 and was in Benghazi at the time of the attack on the US mission in 2012. We will delve into the political climate at the time, the aftermath of the attack, and Chorin’s thoughts on the current state of affairs in Libya.</p>
<p>Chorin brings a unique perspective to the conversation, having been on the ground in Libya during a crucial time in the country’s history.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 280 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, Zach Burcham are your hosts this week. Rex Peckinpaugh is back with a brand new book of poems and short stories. And some breaking news about his intent to seek another four years on the City Council. We also have Zach’s twin, Jared Burcham with a tale of community activism. Shots fired, disputes with city local government, and homeowners working together to solve problems.</p>
<p>Finally there is a residential development targeted for northern Henry Township which might bring an additional 100 or more homes into the community. Growing the tax base and possibly the population? Is this the turning point for a new era?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined once again by Jack Hunter from BASED Politics, this time talking about the recent release of “The Twitter Files” that is exposing all sorts of corruption behind the scenes.</p>
<p>Jack and I talk about the corruption that has been exposed, including how Twitter censors conservatives, how they use their power to get Democrats elected, and much more.</p>
<p>We also discuss how these files confirm what we already knew about Twitter and other social media companies: they don’t care about free speech, they’re helping the government and political actors censor speech, and even ban people for their political views. </p>

We may never know exactly where or how COVID originated in China but we can be certain that the unprecedented strategy to ‘lockdown’ was one that originated in China.</p>
<p>The Lockdown</p>
<p>Before when the COVID pandemic was just a regional epidemic in China, the CCP embarked upon a zero-COVID policy where they took extreme measures of shutting down their economy. As an authoritarian government they were able to use extreme measures to prevent the movement of people. This was accomplished by sealing citizens in buildings and delivering essential goods (sometimes) with very harsh penalties if people tried to escape.</p>
<p>How is the Lockdown Going?</p>
<p>Jennifer Zeng is familiar with the CCP as one who has escaped a political prison to the United States where she now reports on the Chinese government. And that government’s zero COVID policies seem to be taking their toll on their citizens as they are well into the third year of rolling severe restrictions. Protests are occurring all over the country and unlike the Tiananmen Square in Beijing in 1989 they aren’t isolated in just one city. The CCP is faced with troubling questions as to whether it can really trust the military? Would easing the restrictions embolden people and lead to increased calls for freedoms?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined once again by Jason Szeftel to discuss all of the recent happenings in China, namely, the recent nationwide protests in response to the CCP’s authoritarian response to COVID.</p>
<p>We’ll also talk about whether or not this is the end of the Chinese Communist Party and what it means for them going forward.</p>
<p>The world has been shocked by the images coming out of China over the past few weeks, with millions of people taking to the streets across the country. These protests have been met with varying levels of force by authorities.</p>
<p>Is this a sign that Chinese citizens are finally rising up against an oppressive government and demanding more rights? Jason has done extensive research on both China and its political history, and today he’ll help us sort through what these demonstrations mean for China’s future—and for our own!</p>

<p>When someone is arrested, three options await them before their trial: a judge can keep them in jail, release them, or assign them cash bail. While it is often thought that cash bail is needed to drive some back to the courtroom, this is often not true. Cash bail massively impacts the finances of the people who can least afford it, and it hampers their ability to move past a bad incident. My guest is David Gaspar, the National Director of Operations at The Bail Project. The Bail Project is a 501 nonprofit organization aiming to pay bail for people who cannot do so themselves. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m riding solo as I outline <strong>5 Ways to INSTANTLY Improve Your Persuasion & Communication Skills OVERNIGHT</strong>.</p>
<p>Persuasion is a crucial skill for anyone in business—whether you’re convincing your boss to give you a raise or trying to close a client on the phone. But it’s not as easy as it sounds. In fact, some people spend years learning how to persuade others and still don’t get it right!</p>
<p><strong><em>So, what are some ways that you can improve your persuasion skills and be a better communicator? </em></strong></p>
<p>It’s a question asked by politicians, business leaders, psychologists, and just about anyone who wants to be successful in life. The answer is not as simple as some would make it out to be.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>“Facts don’t care about your feelings.”</em></strong></p>
<p>Hmm, where have we heard that before?</p>
<p>While the “facts over feelings” approach to selling politics may be the favorite of some conservative talking heads, let’s look at the fact that the most persuasive people in the world use emotions.</p>
<p>If you’re a salesperson, you know that it’s easy to fall into a trap of thinking that all you have to do is present the facts about your product or service—but that’s not enough.</p>
<p>You’ve got to make sure your audience is emotionally invested in what you’re telling them. You can’t just tell them that your product is better—you have to show them why it’s better! And if you don’t do this, they won’t care about what you have to say—and then they won’t buy from you.</p>
<p>Today, I’m riding solo today to talk about the importance of not simply focusing on facts and figures when selling, but also on emotions and feelings</p>
<p><strong>OH</strong>!! By the way… <strong>are you a candidate or thinking of tossing your hat in the ring this coming 2023 election cycle</strong>?</p>

<p>Ron DeSantis was the bright spot for the GOP in the 2022 midterm elections. Why? He achieved crossover appeal by expanding school choice and parents’ rights in Florida. This pattern has also played out in Arizona and Texas. By this, I mean real reform that makes a difference for students, not red meat for talk radio. The Republican candidates that gave lip service to reform lost big. My guest Gary Frankel shares more.  </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you have family members who believe in big government, who think that taxes are good and that they’re paying into a system that helps everyone? How do you convince them otherwise? Do you try to educate them on all the ways that government harms people through its programs and policies, or do you just tell them about how it’s stealing from them?</p>
<p>On today’s episode, I’m heading over to Dan “Taxation is Theft” Behrman’s aptly named podcast, “Taxation is Theft” from back in 2020. The topic we discussed fits perfectly with everyone likely sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow – how do we sell liberty to those outside of our bubble?</p>
<p>We talked about some tactics for convincing people outside of our bubble – but let’s get real: most of us don’t have time for an hour-long conversation about politics at Thanksgiving. What can we do when faced with these conversations as quickly as possible? We’ve got some tips for that too!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by Chad Harman, Chief Executive Officer of Psycheceutical, who answers that very question and how his team at Psycheceutical is helping blaze the trail forward in this space.</p>
<p>Psycheceutical is focused on developing innovative solutions to society’s most pressing problems using psychedelics as medicines. Through their research, they’ve found that psychedelics are a powerful tool for treating mental health issues like depression and anxiety.</p>
<p>They believe that psychedelics have the potential to be used as a therapeutic aid for people with conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and even schizophrenia—all without the side effects of current pharmaceutical medications.</p>
<p>In this conversation, we discuss:</p>
<p>-The current state of our mental health crisis and what it’s doing to us as a society</p>
<p>-How psychedelic pharmaceuticals can help treat depression and other disorders</p>
<p>-How Psycheceutical is making this happen now instead of later</p>
<p>– How psychedelic medicines can help people with mental health problems</p>
<p>– Why there are so many misconceptions around these drugs</p>
<p> </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is the anniversary of the killing of John Kennedy in Dallas. While in Dallas a few years ago, I took a tour of Dealey Plaza with Robin Brown of JFK Custom Tours. It was so entertaining that I invited Robin to the show to lay out what he believes happened on November 22, 1963. We spend a great deal of time discussing the rise of defense contractors and the CIA in the early days of the Cold War. Then Robin explains his theory on the why, how, and who of President John F. Kennedy’s murder. Visit Robin’s website at <a href="https://www.jfkcustomtours.com/">https://www.jfkcustomtours.com/</a>.</p>
<p>Disclaimer: I really have no idea what happened to President Kennedy, and by having Robin on, I am not endorsing his ideas. Much of the history on the establishment of that period we share is absolutely true, and most facts on the assassination he shared did check out. I don’t know what happened. I just found him to be a fun person you’d enjoy. Come to your own conclusions.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Want to sell more?</p>
<p>Then try saying <em>less</em>.</p>
<p>Sounds counterintuitive, I know. But it’s true.</p>
<p>In fact, many of the most successful consumer brands and political organizations in the world do just that—and it works for them.</p>
<p>So, how can we do the same thing in the world of liberty politics?</p>
<p><strong><em>Can we sell more liberty by saying less?</em></strong></p>
<p>Here’s the thing: <strong><em>people are busy.</em></strong></p>
<p>They don’t have time to read long emails/posts or watch long videos—and they definitely don’t have time to sit through your long, rambling pitch.</p>
<p>Couple that with the fact that they have to worry about literally everything else in their lives and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. But what if we could cut through all of that clutter and get straight to the point?

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined once again by IFBB pro Marc Lobliner, this time discussing the culture of the GOP and what’s next for MAGA and Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Marc has been a close friend of mine for years and has always been one of my favorite people to talk politics with. He has a unique insight into the Republican party, which he brings to the table in this episode. We discuss whether or not Trump is still relevant, and what his future may hold. We also discuss the GOP, who they are and what they stand for, as well as the current state of the party and what’s next for the GOP.</p>
<p>It’s definitely one of my favorite episodes yet!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 278 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>Old school BHOL this time, its Jeremiah Morrell, Forrest Plank, Darrin Jacobs, and Zach Burcham making the show sound great. Mr Jacobs is going back to the Spiceland town council, he starts a new term in January. The local courts have a massive load of high level crimes; a bit unexpected for the community. Election season is upon us already. Announcements are coming fast and furious for the City of New Castle. Very competitive mayor race is coming.</p>
<p>National politics is staring us in the face, Trump is running for President, VP Pence is on a book tour. Apparently Mayor Pete moved to Michigan. We don’t know how to say this, but 40,000 mink were turned loose only 78 miles away from us. And if you wanted to see Taylor Swift in concert, we have TERRIBLE news.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by Maj Toure from Black Guns Matter to discuss the importance of building a culture of liberty when reaching out to black Americans.</p>
<p>Maj is an incredible advocate for liberty and self-ownership. His organization has helped bring many people into the Libertarian movement and he’s a true inspiration to us all.</p>
<p>We talk about:</p>
<p>-The importance of building trust in order to reach out effectively to black Americans</p>
<p>-How people can get started on their own journey towards freedom through Black Guns Matter workshops</p>
<p>-A radical program that will help violence reduction in black communities by using firearms as a way to empower young people and teach them how to be responsible gun owners</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the greater liberty movement, you’ll find more often than not that our candidates running for office are also our most vocal activists. But is that the best way to approach running for office?</p>
<p>It’s not uncommon to see a candidate run for office and then lose, only to then become even more vocal. As an example, when Ron Paul lost his bid for the presidency in 2008 and 2012, he became even more outspoken about it than before.</p>
<p>Today, we go back to 2020 when Larry Sharpe joined the program to help outline how both candidates and activists are needed in the great liberty movement, and how each serves very different/unique roles in the greater scheme of things.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The United States is often thought of as a melting pot, where people from all over the world come together and work together to build a better future. But it looks like that ain’t happening anymore. According to a recent study, Americans are more divided than ever before, as the report found that over the past three decades, Americans have become increasingly segregated by political ideology.</p>
<p>This is especially true when it comes to social media. The study found that most Americans now surround themselves with people who think like them, and as a result, are less likely to seek out different perspectives or engage in meaningful conversation.</p>
<p>So, what can we do about it?</p>
<p>On today’s episode, we go back to 2020 with my interview with Associate Professor of Philosophy Kevin Vallier joins the show to discuss his new book, “Trust in a Polarized Age”. We dive into what exactly has changed in America and why it’s causing us to distrust each other more than ever before. Kevin and I talk about the philosophical roots of our political polarization, why someone would want to live in a bubble, and how we can break out of it. We also discuss what it means to be “trustworthy” in today’s polarized political climate.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m sure you’ve heard that libertarianism is the political philosophy of selfishness and anarchy. But what if I told you that it’s not? What if I told you that libertarianism is the only political philosophy that offers us a chance to truly save the world?</p>
<p>On today’s episode, I present a series of reasons why libertarianism offers some brilliant solutions to many of the world’s problems. We’ll talk about 5 ways in which libertarianism can save humanity:</p>
<ul>
<li>Libertarianism recognizes the beauty and importance of individual identity and freedom</li>
<li>Libertarian education reforms will help children focus on true education versus blind indoctrination</li>
<li>Libertarian taxation reforms would unleash economic growth and prosperity by eliminating corporate loopholes while empowering entrepreneurs/business owners</li>
<li>Libertarian policies eliminate government overreach, allowing individuals and their communities to have more autonomy</li>
<li>Libertarianism can help prevent nuclear war”</li>
</ul>
<p>What are your thoughts? Do you think libertarianism can save the world? Let me know down below in the comments!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Election results are in! Thanks to Big Bounce, Weiland’s Flowers, and The Slick Pickle for their continued support of the program. Jeremiah Morrell and Zach Burcham are your hosts this week. Team elephant had a huge week in Indiana. We review the results. Voter turnout was the lowest in 8 years, but the straight ticket numbers were higher than ever for the GOP. More than 40% of voters cast straight ticket votes, nearly 80% of those went to the Republican candidates. Will that impact candidate recruitment and the next municipal election? Will legislators consider making any changes? And did this overwhelming straight ticket vote just put a felon in charge of a nearly million dollar budget in Henry County?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m riding solo discussing the 3 common biases you’ll face when selling liberty.</p>
<p>In this video, we’ll discuss:</p>
<p>– The first bias is the ostrich bias. This is when people refuse to acknowledge that a negative outcome is coming from a decision they made, so they “put their heads in the sand”.</p>
<p>– The second bias is confirmation bias. This is when people listen only to what they want to hear and ignore all other information presented to them.</p>
<p>– The third bias is bandwagon bias/groupthink. This happens when individuals with similar beliefs come together and form their own group, which causes them to “go along” with one another and ignore any opposing views that are presented to them.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 276 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>We wrap up the election cycle with a review/preview edition. Thanks to Big Bounce, Weiland’s Flowers, and The Slick Pickle for their continued support of the program. Jeremiah Morrell, Zach Burcham, Brian Nichols, and Forrest Plank are the voices. We review the candidate series, what takeaways we have had. It is Brian’s first time voting as a Hoosier, we talk about the differences in Indiana vs Pennsylvania and New York. Some predictions, some more detail from Forrest Plank on how the non partisan school board races work. And because we can’t help ourselves, we had to talk about Ross Chastain and the “Hail Melon”</p>

<p>After listening to his recent episode of “Part of the Problem” (How We Sell Our Ideas), I’ve got to say—he’s spot on.</p>
<p>Dave shares his take on how we sell our ideas, and it never hurts to take a step back and evaluate our actions in the context of what we’re trying to accomplish. If you want to sell your ideas, maybe you need to be more strategic about how you present them!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>History is a funny thing. Often, we think we know what happened either as we experience it personally or have trusted sources that give us an account. However, it depends on who is relaying the information, and the prior biases and perspectives. The goal of a good historian is to gather information from multiple sources and figure out what happened and why it played out the way it did. In today’s episode we focus on why the US ended up with a third party payer system left to the insurance companies to dictate payment and generally how physicians can practice medicine.</p>
<p>It Begins with Insurance</p>
<p>Dr. Christy Chapin has focused her research on the history of health care which includes insurance and finance. She believes that you must understand how we got to where we are today with insurance (private and public) dictating how medicine is practiced through payment mechanisms. It’s easy to look at Medicare and Medicaid and assume that there was always a large influence on health care’s practice through insurance reimbursement – but that’s not the case. In fact, most doctors assume it was the decade or two before the creation of Medicare in 1965 that insurance really came to be a big player in health care.</p>
<p>Actually it Begins with the AMA</p>
<p>The standard story is that wage controls coming out of WW II left employers with limited ways of attracting top talent since they couldn’t adjust employee incomes easily so they resorted to offering benefits like health insurance to entice the ones they wanted. Although that story is a handy explanation, it isn’t really borne out by the evidence either in uptake in the frequency of health insurance being offered to employees or its use more broadly in the marketplace. In fact, the creation of health insurance product came from the AMA as they looked to thread the needle and avoid corporate interests taking over medicine (worked out great, huh?) and a federal nationalization.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the AMA, by squashing all other physician led ways of organizing the delivery of health care, removed all other alternatives to their preferred method – insurance. Initially, the insurance companies agreed to not limit any claims, pay in full whatever charged by the physician, and pay wherever the charges originated (ie, the physician’s own lab, etc.). This led to cost over runs and then the endless government fixes including governmental insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) and the resulting changing of the landscape of medicine.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined riding solo, sharing my thoughts on Justin Amash’s remarks at the LP of Illinois State Gala, where he proposed that Libertarians should take “democracy, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights” as their messaging differentiators when trying to sell our ideas.</p>
<p>Is he right?</p>
<p>I can’t help but think that if we follow through with this strategy, we’ll end up selling a lot of things that are not inherently Libertarian—the same way that “Hope & Change” was a message that appealed to many people who don’t know what they’re getting behind when they hear it.</p>
<p>The truth is that most Americans aren’t really interested in hearing about democracy right now—rather, they’re interested in security and prosperity for themselves and their families.</p>
<p>Personally, I don’t think that message doesn’t address either of those concerns, but you tell me…</p>
<p>Does democracy sell?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently moved downtown in Indianapolis and frequently walk by the home of Benjamin Harrison, who was the 23rd president of the United States from 1889 to 1893. I became curious about the man and his time in office and looked into him, and he cared deeply about civics and what makes a community work well. Charlie Hyde is the President & CEO of the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site, and he joins me to discuss his legacy as President, how he was shaped by his service in the Civil War, and what the staff at BHPS is doing to pass on his values in the next generation through the Future Presidents of America program.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the second year in a row, the life expectancy of Americans dropped sharply. While COVID played the larger role, Fentanyl contributed as well. Last year was a record year for overdose deaths with an estimated 107,622, CDC says, an increase of 15% from the previous year, and 70% of fatalities were from the synthetic opioid. Especially hard hit were communities of color. According to statnews.com, “Black Americans lost 0.7 years between 2020 to 2021, and American Indian and Native Americans saw the largest loss of life expectancy of all — 1.9 years less than 2020’s life expectancy, and 6.6 years less than 2019’s.”</p>
<p>Finesse Moreno-Rivera is an expert in Criminal Justice Reform and research analysis. Moreno-Rivera has worked with federal and state institutions such as the D.C.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris Spangle fills in for Remso Martinez and explains why every business needs a podcast as part of their content marketing plan.</p>
<p>1. Land meetings with potential clients you might not otherwise have an opportunity to meet.</p>
<p>2. Build a relationship with potential customers and existing clients in a more intimate medium – It’s more personal than videos or written blogs.</p>
<p>3. Easily break down the complexities of your industry in a fun way</p>
<p>4. Cheap content marketing! – How much does a slick video cost that 150 people will watch on YouTube?</p>
<p>5. Build authority in your space.</p>
<p>6. Develop your presentation skills.</p>
<p>7. Build a community!</p>
<p>8. Build online traffic.</p>
<p>9. Use niche interests to talk to the right people.</p>
<p>10. Character-based marketing is more effective than the old model of advertising.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 274 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>We roll on with another edition of the candidate series! Thanks to Big Bounce, Weiland’s Flowers, and The Slick Pickle for their continued support of the program. We have the candidates for County Council District 2 with us; Melanie Wright (D) Mike Regner (R) in the studio. We talk about how ARP funds should be used, how to pay for new Merit deputies for the Sheriff Department. How does the council plan on possibly growing the tax base? Lots of talk of roads, rural broadband, and ways to improve the quality of living in the community. Finally, there is a large conversation about the way council interacts with boards and how they would be used. A very thoughtful conversation between two candidates who make their case for your vote next month!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s been a while since I’ve done an episode and it’s mainly because I’ve had a COVID rant percolating for some time. So I just had to let it out now that the president (accidentally?) mentioned that the pandemic of COVID-19 is over. In this episode, I cover mandates, vaccines, public health policy and much more. A frank discussion with you about where we are and where we need to go as a country with this irritating virus and resulting policies. This is an <a href="https://www.theparadocs.com/156">expansion on my speech from episode 156</a> and a broader discussion with <a href="https://www.theparadocs.com/143">Dr. David Graham in episode 143</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, we’re going back to an episode from the 2020 election cycle, as we listen to our conversation with Aaron Hamlin from the Center for Election Science who explains how approval voting can help fix our broken voting systems.</p>
<p>Aaron shares his thoughts on why approval voting is such a promising solution to the problems with our current voting systems and why we need to implement it sooner rather than later. He also talks about how approval voting could be implemented on a state-by-state basis and what it would take for that to happen.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by Jason Loftus, filmmaker and director of Eternal Spring (2022).</p>
<p>Eternal Spring is a documentary that shows the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, who have been targeted by the Communist Chinese Party for their belief systems. When Falun Gong was first introduced to China in the 1990s, it quickly gained popularity among Chinese citizens who were looking for a way to improve their health and spiritual well-being. By 1999, there were a reported 70 million practicing Falun Gong members in China. That same year, however, the Chinese Communist Party outlawed the practice of Falun Gong altogether and began a brutal campaign against its practitioners.</p>
<p>Today, we discuss the Falun Gong’s fight against Chinese Communist Party propaganda and persecution, as we dig into the story of a group of heroes who sought to highjack the CCP corporate television broadcasts in 2002.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by Connor Boyack from the Libertas Institute!</p>
<p>Connor and I discuss the ways in which his organization is changing hearts and minds to build a freer society by using writing not children’s books, but family resources in their Tuttle Twin series. We also talk about how they use market-based solutions (like Opportunity Sandboxes) to create change, and how they’re working to make people aware of the power they have to change their government.</p>
<p>It’s a great conversation about an important topic, so I hope you enjoy it!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey folks… a much more somber episode today, as today we remember the life of our good friend, Gary Collins. Gary passed away last month, stunning those of us who loved him and cherished his friendship.</p>
<p>Gary has joined us here at The Brian Nichols Show many a time, teaching us life lessons, how to live “the Simple Life”, and how to best balance our three-legged stool in life.</p>
<p>Today, I wanted to share some of my favorite memories and moments from my having Gary on the program over the years. Please take some time to listen to his words and take them to heart… life is far too short otherwise.</p>
<p>I’m going to miss you, my friend.</p>
<p>Until we meet again</p>
<p>In Memory of Gary Collins (1970-2022).</p>
<p>“Doing the right thing is always harder than doing the wrong thing.”</p>

        </div><p>From the Chris Spangle Show: Last Columbus Day, I decided to learn more about the history of the man and the day celebrating him. Since then, I’ve visited historical sites in Santa Domingo in the Dominican Republic and San Juan in Puerto Rico. I read books and watched documentaries to gain a better perspective of who Columbus was. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned, beginning with the history of the day, who wants to change it (or not) and why, and then share a basic history of Columbus and his voyages.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, we’re going back into the archives as we listen to my conversation with Mark Schneider on the future of nuclear energy.</p>
<p>Nuclear energy is one of the most controversial energy sources in modern society. Supporters claim it’s clean and cheap, while detractors point to safety concerns and nuclear waste as reasons why it should be phased out. But what do we actually know about nuclear energy? Is there a future for it? And what are some alternatives that might help us achieve a cleaner, more sustainable world?</p>
<p><strong>Original Show Notes (July 2021):</strong></p>
<p>Many people are turning away from conventional power, and opting for sustainable solutions. Nuclear power plants may not be spiking headlines, but they are being eyed as a viable option for the future.</p>
<p>The future of nuclear energy production is in strong hands because unlike many other aspects of life, nuclear power is an option that will ALWAYS be needed.</p>
<p>Mark Schneider joins the program to help show how the advancements in nuclear energy have created solutions that answer the questions of climate change, energy independence, and planetary prosperity.</p>
<p>But what about the common objections we hear about nuclear energy?</p>
<p>Are nuclear power plants safe? Are nuclear power plants efficient? Are nuclear power plants bad for the environment? Can nuclear waste be recycled?</p>
<p>Mark answers and overcomes all those objections (and more) on today’s information-packed episode of The Brian Nichols Show!</p>

<p>If we face America’s racial history squarely, will it mean that the American project is a failure? Conversely, if we think the American project is a worthy endeavor, do we have to lie, downplay or equivocate about our past?</p>
<p>Join us as we discuss the topic of black liberation through the marketplace in an optimistic tone that takes into account both hope and heartbreak in our nation’s history.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by John Odermatt to discuss Elon Musk officially positioning himself to move forward with his acquiring Twitter, PLUS we talk about him trying to avoid World War III/nuclear war over the Russia/Ukraine conflict.</p>
<p>This is a big day for Twitter, and it’s a big day for Elon Musk. The Tesla CEO has officially announced that he will be buying out Twitter from its current shareholders in an effort to turn it into a profitable company. But how will this work? And why does he want it so badly?</p>
<p>In addition to talking about the implications of this news for Twitter and Elon Musk himself, we also talked about how he’s been involved in some pretty controversial issues recently—like his trying to cool tensions in a possible WWIII/nuclear war situation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by some very special guests: donkeys!</p>
<p>Okay, no, that’s not true… actually, it’s me riding solo, but today, we’re talking about why you should never, and I mean NEVER, argue with donkeys.</p>
<p>Even if they say the grass is blue.</p>
<p>But… why not? Why would a donkey ever even suggest that the grass was anything other than green?</p>
<p>This week, we’re going to explore this question and more as I take you through the old tale of why you should never argue with a donkey, no matter what color it claims its grass is.</p>
<p>And how does this apply to sales and politics??</p>
<p>The answer might surprise you.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I’m joined once again by Spike Cohen to talk about how we can effectively build a culture of liberty.</p>
<p>To start, what is a culture of liberty? It’s not just the principles that we stand for, but also the way in which we implement them. How can we make sure that our actions are consistent with the values we espouse? And how do we build a culture that reinforces those values?</p>
<p>Spike and I talk about what it means to live as a libertarian in today’s world, and how you can make sure that your actions match your words.</p>
<p>We’ll also discuss how to identify opportunities for growth within yourself and within others, so that you can all work together toward common goals—and maybe even create some new ones along the way!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, we’re going back to January 2021, when I joined Matt Kibbe on his program, Kibbe on Liberty.</p>
<p>He and I talked about the biggest issue facing America at the time: how do we sell freedom?</p>
<p>We talked about how the problem of selling freedom has two parts—the first being that people don’t know what they want until they see it, and the second being that people think they want freedom but actually want something else (like security or safety).</p>
<p>We also talked about the importance of listening to what people are saying and not just assuming you know what they want. I’m a firm believer in the power of listening—after all, it’s how I got my start as a consultant. In fact, I used a lot of the same techniques that Matt and I talk about here to help me learn about my clients’ needs.</p>
<p>I hope you enjoy this trip to yesteryear as much as I did!</p>

<p>The Candidate series is back! Support provided by the Slick Pickle, Big Bounce Inflatables, and Weiland’s Flowers. This week we talk with Jeff Maurer who is running for Secretary of State.

Jess is a passionate advocate for freedom and equality, but she believes that the current wave of woke totalitarianism—which she calls “totalitarian equality”—has gone too far.</p>
<p>In this episode, Jess will explain how Britain’s efforts to enforce equality have led to totalitarianism, and how we can make sure that it doesn’t happen here.</p>
<p>Later, we dig into the broken NHS system, and how that has led to nearly 7 MILLION folks on the waiting list in the UK.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by Remso Martinez to discuss his new Substack venture, “Club Memos”, that focuses on creating a community of good people.</p>
<p>As we talk about how he got started, Remso shares his thoughts on how communities can help us grow and learn from one another. We then move on to discuss how he came to the conclusion that there are some things you can only learn through experience, which is why he believes that when it comes to knowledge exchange, it’s important to share what you know with others so that they can benefit from your experience.</p>
<p>We also talk about the importance of having shared intel and knowledge exchange within our communities in order to help each other out in times of need. The more people who are part of your community means there will be more people who have access to the information you have collected over time. This makes it easier for them to help themselves out when they need something specific or just want support from someone else who has been through something similar before them.</p>
<p>I’ve known Remso for about a number of years and have been thoroughly impressed with his ability to connect with others and create meaningful relationships with them. This quality is what drove him to start Club Memos—a group dedicated to connecting like-minded individuals who want to be part of something bigger than themselves.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Inflation. What is it? How does it impact people in different countries around the world?</p>
<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by Jorge Jraissati, Director of Alumni of Students For Liberty, to talk about the impacts of inflation and what we can learn about inflation from his home country of Venezuela.</p>
<p>Inflation is a phenomenon that impacts everyone differently depending on their circumstances. But in the end, it always comes down to money—and how much you have, or don’t have. It’s really important to understand how inflation happens so that we can prepare ourselves for the future and plan accordingly.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by Jon Miltimore from FEE to talk about why modern monetary theory loses to basic economics every time.</p>
<p>We go over the basics of MMT—its ideas of fiat currency, how it’s different from other forms of money, and why it’s so popular with politicians who have no idea what they’re talking about.</p>
<p>We also discuss how these ideas have been used to justify policies in for thousands of years—which hurt working people and make things worse for our economy long-term.</p>
<p>Finally, we’ll cover how the MMTers’ theory has been disproved in practice and how we can use basic economic principles to understand the problems with their theory.</p>
<p>In our discussion, we’ll look at:</p>
<p>-Why MMT is considered neo-Keynesianism</p>
<p>-How an understanding of money and banking are essential to understanding modern monetary theory</p>
<p>-The role of inflation in MMT and its effects on real wages</p>
<p>-Why inflation doesn’t help workers in a recession</p>
<p>-How monetary policy affects unemployment</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by Kenny Cody to talk about why Republicans need to start playing offense versus constantly playing defense to Democratic narratives.</p>
<p>We discuss how Democrats have found success in the past by telling voters they’re the party that cares about people, while Republicans are just the party of the rich. And we talk about how this strategy has helped them win over some of our own voters—which means if you’re a Republican and want to win elections, you need to start talking about issues that resonate with more than just your base.</p>
<p>We’ll also discuss some examples of how framing works in practice, and what Republicans can do differently this time around!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by Chris Russomanno, Libertarian candidate for Congress in New Jersey. He’s going to tell us why it’s time to end the wars, fix our money, and restore our civil rights.</p>
<p>We’ll be discussing how the United States is currently involved in an endless war on terror funded by The Fed’s endless printing of money that has cost us trillions of dollars while also infringing on our civil rights through mass surveillance, indefinite detention without trial, torture, and assassination by drone strikes.</p>
<p>Chris is a passionate advocate for ending the wars that have become a core part of our political system. He wants to fix our money system so we can finally get rid of the debt that has been strangling us for decades. And he believes that restoring civil rights will help us restore our country to its former glory.</p>

<p>Listen where we discuss how we can do a much better job of speaking to the issues that matter to people by simply asking them.</p>
<p>No matter what your political persuasion is or what your beliefs are on any particular issue, it’s important to remember that if you’re trying to persuade someone who doesn’t agree with you, it’s not enough just to tell them what they should be thinking—you have to meet them where they are, and ask them what they care about.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you ever feel like your government is making decisions without really knowing what it’s doing? Rodgir Cohen does, and that’s why he’s running for Redlands City Council. He wants to bring common sense and reason back to government.</p>
<p>On today’s episode, Rodgir and I discuss the danger of “do something” politics and how this type of thinking can lead to bad policy and harm innocent people. We also discuss why it’s important for citizens to be informed on issues so that they can make informed decisions.</p>
<p>I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I join Gavin Goodman to discuss why he’s running for Congress in Alabama’s 7th Congressional District.</p>
<p>Gavin is a Libertarian who believes that without choice, you can’t have liberty. He explains why he thinks the best way to promote personal freedom and civil liberties is through limited government: less taxation, less regulation, and more personal responsibility.</p>
<p>We talk about what the Libertarian party stands for and how it differs from the Republican and Democratic parties, why he thinks it’s important to have more people like him in Congress, and what his campaign is all about.</p>

<p>Episode 267 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Zach Burcham, Chris Spangle, and Brian Nichols are the voices. We get a network update, a surprise visit by Aaron Ewert, the Spangle Aldi anger is directly challenged by a buffet of groceries.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode I’m joined by Carla Gericke from the Free State Project to discuss the importance of setting your own narratives versus responding to the narratives set by others.</p>
<p>Whether it’s the media, a friend, or even a complete stranger, we are constantly bombarded with narratives about how things work. But what if we were in charge of setting our own narratives? What if you could control how you’re perceived and what people think about you?</p>
<p>That’s exactly what Carla has done with her life-long mission to create a libertarian community in New Hampshire that is completely independent from any government control.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today’s episode, I’m walking through 4 speeches/ads from 4 past presidents and outlining why they worked and what we can learn from them.</p>
<p>I want to start by saying that when you’re trying to sell something, there’s a lot of different ways you could go about it: You could be like Ronald Reagan’s 1984 “Morning in America” ad that was so effective at selling America on Reagan’s vision that it helped him win reelection in an absolute landslide. You could be like Bill Clinton in 1992 and appeal to their sense of patriotism and vision. Or you could be like Barack Obama in 2008 and use a personal narrative to draw people in and a sense of a unifying message. Or one like Donald Trump in 2016 who helped draw contrast to the pain the customer already knows versus a better future. (And if you want to see all four of these things done well, check out my video “4 EFFECTIVE Sales Pitches From 4 Former Presidents.”)</p>
<p>But the thing that makes these speeches/ads so effective isn’t just their delivery—it’s also the way they frame their messages in terms of deeper themes or values that resonate with people across demographics.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we’re joined by Demetrius Minor from Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty.</p>
<p>Demetrius is an advocate for criminal justice reform and he’s been working for years to get conservatives to rethink the death penalty.</p>
<p>And you know what? He’s right—there are plenty of reasons why conservatives should be concerned about the death penalty.</p>
<p>The death penalty isn’t cost-effective, it doesn’t deter crime, and it can be applied unfairly. It also doesn’t work as a deterrent and often isn’t even used as punishment by states that still have it on the books.</p>
<p>If you’re interested in learning more about Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty (CCADP), visit their website at https://conservativesconcerned.org/.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In survey after survey, the number one satisfier for physicians – by a long way – is their relationship with patients. Anything you can do to improve or deepen that relationship makes the work better and decreases the incidence of burnout. Obviously, barriers put in the way that detract from creating a deeper relationship with patients makes the job of medicine less desirable. One way a lot of doctors have gone is to practice using a direct care model which removes many of the obstacles in place within modern medicine from forming that all important bond with their patients.</p>
<p>Getting Help to Start a DPC Practice</p>
<p>Unfortunately, doctors don’t usually receive training in how to run a business and set up a practice like this. Even if they have heard about direct primary care (DPC) there are a lot of things to overcome to start up. First, they need to understand how the model works and what space, supplies, and equipment they need to begin. Second, they need to find ways of bringing patients in the door which requires marketing and sales. Finally, there is a lot they need to learn as far as running the practice since most of their training probably came in an academic setting or at the very least, an insurance based model for providing care.</p>
<p>That’s where today’s guest, Chris Habig of <a href="https://freedomhealthworks.com/">Freedom Healthworks</a>, comes in. He and his brother started the business initially to help their parents (who are primary care physicians) rekindle their love of medicine. What they’ve built is a company that helps doctors at every stage of the process setup, start, and run a DPC practice. Doctors can use as little or as much of their services as they feel they need but essentially Chris and his team take away a lot of the unknowns and help navigating medicine in this space.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Collectivists of many stripes—but one aim—have been eating away at our free society for over one hundred years.</p>
<p>If we want to reverse America’s current slide into authoritarianism and actively move towards a fully free society, we need to be as clear about our goals as the collectivists have been about theirs. And theirs have always been power and control—to that end, ingeniously using indoctrination masquerading as education.</p>
<p>So, what to do? Marsha Enright joins the program to show how Reliance College will focus on utilizing the Montessori method – an educational philosophy that has been ahead of its time for 100 years in understanding the importance of human development to optimal learning and growth – as the basis for her new college, Reliance College.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by Lt. Col Waldo Waldman to talk about leading with courage, building trusting partnerships, and reaching new heights in business.</p>

<p>These are just some of the questions we’ll be answering today.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>President Biden reportedly plans to announce a long-awaited plan to forgive up to $10,000 in student loans and extend the COVID pause in repayments one more time.</p>
<p>The forgiveness plan is expected to benefit most borrowers making less than $125,000 a year. It is designed to help young borrowers and give Biden’s Democratic allies a crucial boost ahead of the fall midterm elections.</p>
<p>The repayment freeze is expected to be extended until the end of the year.</p>
<p>Joining me to break this down is Clint Russell from the Liberty Lockdown Podcast!</p>

<p>Jeffrey Tucker joins me to talk about why we should be happy that a man who has been a part of the HHS since 1984 is finally stepping down, how much harm Fauci has done to public health and the trust in science, as well as what it means for our country moving forward.</p>
<p>We also discuss how this announcement should be a call to action for all of us, who have been fighting against government overreach into our lives, to continue fighting.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I talk about how the Libertarian Party will find success when they adopt the approach of knowing their market and meeting them where they’re at on the issues they care about.</p>
<p>Libertarians need to know that there are many people who have never been exposed to libertarianism before, so we need to meet them where they’re at on the issues that matter most to them. This is so we can show them how libertarian principles of individual liberty and voluntary association work for them.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 265 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, and Zach Burcham are your voices. Indiana tax refunds are really happening. Although none of us have our money yet. Is Eric a man of his word? Hagerstown is in the World Series, Dakota tells us how he saw it, everyone else fixes his reporting. Most importantly, Hagerstown beat Iowa and they play on. There is a new program that might pay you $5,000 to move to Henry County; Jeremiah demands a key to the city. And the cherry on top…A fire and brimstone billboard has been up in town. Councilman Aaron Dicken has crowdsourced a replacement and its SPECTACULAR.</p>
<p>And our brother Chase Peyton is getting married this weekend. Perhaps BHOL will get him a billboard too.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Liz Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and a former State Department official under George W. Bush, is best known for her conservative political views and her distaste for President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>She ran in the Republican primary for Wyoming’s at-large congressional district this week, but unsurprisingly lost to Trump-endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman by a whopping margin of 66% to 29%.</p>
<p>Cheney’s loss means that she’ll have to find another way to make herself relevant—and it looks like she has no shortage of ideas. After her loss, she said that she may consider running for PRESIDENT in 2024.</p>
<p>But here’s the thing: after losing so badly, it seems unlikely that Liz Cheney will be able to win another one anytime soon.</p>
<p>Her future…? Well… then she’ll just be a token Republican on some progressive panel on cable television.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I explain how we can learn from Ron Paul’s 2008 campaign when it comes to standing out from the crowd and building long-term trust.</p>
<p>Ron Paul was an outsider in the 2008 presidential race. He wasn’t part of the establishment and he had a lot of so-called “controversial” ideas that didn’t seem to appeal to many people. But despite this, he managed to get a lot of votes—and even more importantly, his message resonated with people who may not have voted for him but still felt something about what he said.</p>
<p>So how did he do it? Ron Paul spoke truth, even when it seemed like nobody else was listening. He spoke up for himself and his beliefs—even if nobody else agreed with him at first. And by doing this, he built trust over time, which allowed him to continue speaking truth until eventually his ideas were adopted by others who had been waiting for someone like him to show them what they could do together in order to change their communities and the world around them!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I talk about how Libertarians can learn a thing or two from Republicans and Democrats when it comes to building coalitions.</p>
<p>If you’re a Libertarian, then chances are you have your own little pond that you swim in—and that’s OK! But it’s also important to realize that every little fish needs to reach out of the water sometimes. That means reaching out to people who aren’t like you, having conversations with them, and learning from them.</p>
<p>You don’t want to be an echo chamber—you want to break past the “little fish in little pond” syndrome and build coalitions with people who aren’t exactly like you.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, Brian Peotter joins the program to talk about why he’s running for US Senate in Colorado as a Libertarian.</p>
<p>Brian is running on a platform of true liberty—one that promises no new taxes and no government interference in your life. He believes that Colorado needs an alternative to the status quo—a real option that will let voters make their own choices about what they do with their money and time.</p>
<p>Brian thinks that Libertarians are the best hope for restoring the American dream—and he thinks it’s time for Colorado to take the first step toward reclaiming its independence from big government.</p>
<p>We want to know: Do you think Brian can offer Colorado a real alternative?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Occasionally, you come across an interview or subject that blows you away with incredible claims that are both out in the open – and yet invisible. Today’s guest is an author and expert witness for some of the biggest pharmaceutical cases of this century, Dr. John Abramson. He reveals the rot that centers not only in the pharmaceutical industry but also the institutions that are constructed to serve as its guardrails – the medical journals, federal agencies, and guideline committees. In some</p>
<p>What Would Physicians Say if They Knew Medical Journals Had No Access to Data for Peer Review?</p>
<p>The most stunning aspect of the whole conversation centered around how the most prestigious medical journals conducted peer review without all of the clinical data. This means if anything was misrepresented or omitted there is no check on the truth of the claims from the study. Essentially, the journal and its reviewers are relying on the good faith submission of all important details from the study designers who are usually paid employees or have research paid for by the pharmaceutical manufacturers.</p>
<p>The most famous landmark case was with Pfizer withholding adverse event data (or misclassifying them to avoid statistical significance) on cardiovascular events (heart attacks and strokes) with their medication, Vioxx. Only when Pfizer was sued in a huge class action lawsuit did the actual clinical data get revealed showing that they had seen a signal for adverse events but intentionally did not disclose it (or the raw data) to the medical journal reviewers. Worse yet, once the error was presented, the medical journals spent very little time discussing the error. According to Dr. Abramson, this is in large part because up to 40% or more of medical journal revenue comes from study reprints. This financial incentive to find positive results and publish makes for a twisted system that incentivizes the promotion of new medications and devices when they may not be safe or very useful.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 263 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>It’s a hyper local episode covering the future of New Castle Indiana. Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, Zach Burcham, Patty Broyles, and Mike Broyles are the voices in your ear. Candidates are going to be filing in the next few months for every city election race. What issues are going to matter? We talk about downtown, investments, parks and paths. What makes a community livable? How does a city government influence that? The local schools are back in session. There was an active shooter alert that had police and local officials clearing every elementary school in town. We attempt to make sense of it all.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, we’re going to dig into strategic voting.</p>
<p>If you’re a libertarian, you’re probably wondering: which path is best for liberty? Should I vote for the Libertarian Party and hope for the best, or should I vote for the Republican Party and try to change it from the inside?</p>
<p>Fortunately, there’s an answer: strategic voting! When you use strategic voting, you put your vote where it will have the most impact—and that means voting for whichever party has the best chance of winning.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Mises Institute may sound like an academic institution, but it’s actually an organization dedicated to promoting the Austrian school of economics and libertarian ideals. And when it comes to money, they know what they’re talking about.</p>
<p>On today’s I’m joined by Tho Bishop to talk about how of all the economic problems, money is possibly the most tangled, and perhaps where we most need perspective.</p>
<p>Tho talks about how inflation is a tax on savers, and why this hurts everyone who isn’t rich. He also explains why central banks are not necessary, and how governments have ruined our money for centuries—and continue to do so today.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m going to talk about how we have to actually talk to people about the issues that matter to them, even when those conversations might become uncomfortable.</p>
<p>It can be scary to bring up the things that are most important to you. It can feel like you’re going out on a limb and opening yourself up for criticism or judgment. But it’s important! We have so many problems in our world today, and they’re not going away unless we talk about them—and don’t just listen, but also talk back.</p>
<p>So take a deep breath, and let’s get started!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Food shortages aren’t something from the past, we’re living in a period of massive food insecurity right now. The people causing this are the same people who locked down the global economy and are now pushing forward with their green agenda meant to tackle climate change, even if it means starving the world in the process. In this episode, Remso reviews a recent article published by the Brownstone Institute which explains everything you need to know, and how what is happening around the world will only make things tighter at home.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 262 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morell, Zach Burcham, Kyle Robbins have hosting duties; Sara Morrell is on producer duty. It is Brickyard week in Indy again. Marshall Pruett is the featured guest. We learn how he went from motorsports mechanic to the top of motorsport media. Kyle gives us the midseason USAC update, with a big Sprint car weekend upcoming. Big topics include how Alex Palou’s contract story has moved to the biggest sports story in Indianapolis and what might happen? IndyCar is growing, an Iowa grocery store just showed the world how to market. How can this regional sport move back to a full national presence? And what impact should it have on real lives?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 261 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morell, Dakota Davis, Zach Burcham and on loan from Aaron Ewert, we have Hunter Kirk who just moved from Tennessee to Indiana. The Indy Eleven Soccer club wants a billion dollar public/private stadium…Did anyone vote for this yet? Dakota is excited, deer hunting is going to be better for him at DNR properties. Indiana is calling a special session for the General Assembly for the first time in nearly 20 years. Expecting them to deal with Abortion, Tax Refunts, and Changing Gas taxes. And finally, we make a pitch to Hunter about why he needs to move to Henry County…And we figure out how wildly different Zach and Jeremiah like to vacation.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, three people were killed in this attack, but thanks to this brave young man, many more lives were saved than lost.</p>
<p>Brandon Williamson from Young Americans for Liberty joins the program to outline how this conversation on self-defense is a winning one, with this being a perfect example.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 260 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>It’s Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, and producer Chris Stayton in the building for another great round of BHOL. At the top of the show we remember Councilman Mike Thalls who passed away this week, a community pillar and friend of the show. The Henry County 4-H Fair is wrapping up; the guys have been getting involved and had a great time out there! Henry County had a high speed chase with some Ohio residents…Dakota wants a wall built…Jeremiah has another plan. Alex Palou is trending worldwide on twitter as he attempts to move from Chip Ganassi racing over to McLaren in the motorsports world; and our pal Kade Koger is headed to the ring to fight THIS weekend. And there was bowling perfection in Henry County. Worth every minute of a listen this week!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imagine how much better our country will be when we prove that the Free Enterprise System works for everyone, through the voluntary cooperation of people of good will.</p>
<p>From the Abolitionist to the Civil Rights movement- there has never been a movement that fights for equal ECONOMIC opportunity until now. It’s called ALPHA MISSION.</p>
<p>Thanks to some of history’s great thinkers, we have made progress in the past, and that is replicable today if we do the same things that they did.</p>
<p>Robert Blackwell Jr. joins the program today to outline how the “JUST DO BUSINESS” approach is the pathway for ending the generational poverty of black communities across the country, by proving that the Free Enterprise System works for everyone.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new poll from the New York Times revealed that a whopping 64% of Democratic voters don’t want Joe Biden to run again in 2024.</p>
<p>Oh, and even better – his overall approval rating has just dropped to 33%.</p>
<p>The results of the NYT/Siena College poll also found that only 13% of Americans believe the country is heading on the right track.</p>
<p>Of those who said they planned to vote in the 2024 Democratic primary and preferred a candidate other than Biden, 33% cited the president’s age as the most important reason, followed by his job performance at 32% and 12% simply just wanting someone new.</p>
<p>So, where does that leave Joe Biden for 2024? Heck, where does that leave the Democrats?</p>
<p>I break down what the Democrats might do (*Hillary Clinton has entered the chat*) on today’s episode!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Evolution 2.0 chronicles bestselling author Perry Marshall’s 10-year journey of in-depth research. As an Electrical Engineer, author of an Ethernet book and world-renowned business consultant, Perry connects the dots in a new refreshing way. He tackles hard questions about evolution with precision, making it clear when information is proven with hard data and when it can only be inferred.</p>
<p>This book will open your eyes and transform your thinking about life, evolution, and creationism. You’ll gain a deeper appreciation for our place in the universe. You’ll the see the world around you as you’ve never seen it before: adaptive, efficient, and incredibly elegant.</p>
<p>$10 Million Technology Prize: Origin of Information is one of the central problems in modern biology. No one knows where the genetic code came from; no one knows how the first cell developed. To solve this, the author has organized a Private Equity Investment group, Natural Code LLC. They are offering a prize, reminiscent of the X-Prize, for a natural process that produces coded information. The prize amount is $10 million USD!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being a man in 2022 is a LOT different than being a man in 1952 was… but what has changed?? And why has it changed? And why are men struggling now more than they ever have?</p>
<p>Cathy Reisenwitz from “Sex and the State” joins us on today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show to outline why so many men are a shell of themselves, and why our fetishization of yester-year only makes things worse.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is one common difference between the hiring process of most professionals with advanced degrees and those in sports and talent industries? The use of talent agents. People dedicated to finding their clients jobs, negotiating the terms, and essentially doing all of the analytical work to determine market value for the “talent.” </p>
<p>What if the Talent were Physicians?</p>
<p>Raised by a physician mother, my guest today is Ethan Nkana, who didn’t enter the world of medicine as a doctor but instead got his JD and MBA to enter the world of hospital administration. Ethan cut his teeth negotiating physician contracts, running operations, and more for hospitals. But he decided to get out and start a business working on the other side of the table with physicians in the negotiation process. His model is simple in that he uses the same as talent agents for musicians, artists, and athletes except his clients are doctors. </p>
<p>Ethan brings his knowledge at the <a href="http://rmpa.co">Rocky Mountain Physician Agency</a> of what hospitals want, where their pain points are, and what they worry about to help doctors maximize their compensation or work situation. Fortunately for Ethan, there are plenty of physicians now employed and looking for more.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m going to share five steps you can take to help your prospect better understand the value of your solution by attaching emotion to meaning.</p>
<p>Emotion is one of our most powerful drivers. It can help us make decisions and act on them, but it also helps us remember things better. When we attach emotion to something our brain makes it stick so we don’t forget it later on.</p>
<p>So how do we use this in sales and marketing? Well, if you’re trying to get people interested in buying your product or service, then you need them to be excited about it—and that excitement is going to come from how much of an emotional tie they see in the meaning of your solution.</p>

They believe the Republican Party and the conservative movement has failed to address the needs of the American people because they have “outsourced” their economic policy to libertarians.</p>
<p>Today, Charles Sauer (President of The Market Institute) joins the program and makes his case how it’s not the libertarians who are failing, but rather, the failed policies of the common good conservatives like Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, and JD Vance.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Texans, it’s time to TEXIT.</p>
<p>Today’s guest is Daniel Miller, President of the Texas National Movement and vocal advocate for TEXIT!</p>
<p>TEXIT is the term used to refer to Texas exiting the union and becoming an independent, self-governing nation. TEXIT is not Texas independence.</p>
<p>Rather, TEXIT is the process that gets Texas to independence.</p>
<p>TEXIT means that Texans determine their own laws and not 2.5 million unelected bureaucrats in Washington. It means that Texans get a government that begins and ends at the borders of Texas. It means an end to the giant sucking sound of $103-$160 billion dollars per year being siphoned from the pockets of Texas taxpayers. Most importantly, it means that for the first time in Texan’s lives that they control their own destiny.</p>
<p>TEXAS + EXIT = TEXIT</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With July 4th approaching closely, Americans look to their inner patriot to reflect on why they are proud to be an American in celebrating our independence from Great Britain.</p>
<p>With most excited about spending the holiday with friends, family, and colleagues, it is hard to deny that this is the most patriotic day of the year.</p>
<p>In the past few months, however, many on the left have questioned why any American should be proud of their country with the state it’s currently in, reflecting on the Uvalde massacre and the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.</p>
<p>It seems as if progressives will look for any reason they can to despise the country that has given them everything while attempting to make conservatives feel guilty for their belief systems being the reason</p>
<p>The United States is on the decline in their eyes. Unfortunately, this is no surprise, but conservatives must finally embrace the hate and be proud of their values.</p>
<p>Kenny Cody returns to the program to discuss all this and more on our July 4th Special!</p>

<p>There’s no space on the internet for people who value family, faith, free speech and enterprise. We are the muted voices of America.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rather than traditional top-down government, today’s guest (Fred Eberlein) advocates for a bottom-up approach that right sizes the Federal Government’s bureaucracy while re-aligning it with local needs, defined by “we the people”.</p>
<p>His book argues that Washington’s complexity and size provide camouflage to a political system corrupted by fundraising-centric politics. With no end in sight to the Federal Government’s chronic inefficiency, his book calls for removing Congress from its control over spending and returning that responsibility to state governments.</p>
<p>Washington will not be fixed by bi-partisanship or budget cuts.</p>
<p>Its reckless spending habits run too deep, as does the need for ever grander political campaigns. A Plan B is needed if the USA we cherish is to endure.</p>

<p>“If I had a dollar for every time I had someone tell me that they hate sales, well, I wouldn’t be in sales anymore.</p>
<p>I have friends in all of the STEM fields, and nearly all of them have a sense of superiority because they’re doing something with the “hard sciences”, and they all laugh at the idea of doing sales as a career.</p>
<p>And then it’s my turn to laugh.</p>
<p>Because regardless of their perception, they too are in sales, they just don’t know it (or refuse to accept it).</p>
<p>You see, everything in life is sales.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gov. Jared Polis (D-Colorado) has often been cited by libertarians as being “one of the most libertarian governors in the country”. A personal friend of former Libertarian Congressman Justin Amash and frequent guest on various libertarian outlets (like Reason), Polis has filtered with Libertarians for years.</p>
<p>But does his governance in Colorado actually hold up to his supposed libertarian bona fides?</p>
<p>Today, we dig through an article written by Joshua Sharf (Newsweek) who gives his not-so-rosy take on Gov. Polis’ supposed libertarian leanings.</p>
<p>“In the last month or so, the Colorado governor’s publicity people have been busy. Polis has written an op-ed in the Washington Post defending charter schools. Libertarian journalist Nick Gillespie recorded a glowing podcast profile for Reason. There was a holiday weekend puff piece in The Hill. And this Monday, the Wall Street Journal praised Polis for standing up to the climate lobby.</p>
<p>All of these pieces have one aim: to make the progressive Democratic governor look as though he’s not all that progressive—indeed, maybe he’s a moderate or even a liberal with libertarian leanings, who’ll keep the government off your back. I frequently hear out-of-state conservatives, hopeful for someone to pull the Democrats back from their current woke insanity, offer this description as their impression of Polis.</p>
<p>Those of us who’ve seen his governance here in Colorado up close and personal know better.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m joined by retired Colorado State Senator Ted Harvey, who serves as the Chairman of the Committee to Defeat the President (StopJoe.com):</p>
<p>“Work in politics long enough, and you start overthinking it. Who’s the target audience? What’s the key talking point? How do you persuade him or her to support you?</p>
<p>In 2022, Republicans cannot fall into the trap of second-guessing themselves and overcomplicating the talking points. The path forward is simple. All signs point to a “red wave.” Every indicator shows President Biden floundering. His approval rating is stuck in the 30s. Just this week, an ABC News/Ipsos poll revealed only 28% of Americans support Mr. Biden’s handling of inflation.</p>
<p>Republicans are running against Mr. Biden — end of story. That is the answer to all questions. The blueprint is simple: Expose Mr. Biden for his litany of failures since January 2021 — drive the point home, again and again.</p>
<p>Why? Because Mr. Biden is the worst American president in decades.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’ve been focusing on messaging here on the program for a number of years, so I thought it good to bring back up the importance of messaging and why effective messaging has been one of the areas we libertarians have been failing the most.</p>
<p>“Once we start to build this case that libertarian solutions work, then more and more people just by the virtue of seeing it work, the market is going to show, hey, this alternative way of doing things works, and all of a sudden, more people will start to gravitate that way.</p>
<p>We see it in the marketplace right now. And I believe it will be an inevitable reaction as well when people start to see it working within their own communities. And going back to the whole emotions versus logic and reason.</p>
<p>Isn’t it wild?</p>
<p>When you hear folks like Ben Shapiro, who will say very adamantly, that facts don’t care about your feelings? I mean, sure, facts don’t care about your feelings, but feelings sell. And that’s where we’re losing the battle. It’s the battle on actually appealing to people’s feelings, and appealing to people’s emotions.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, friend of the show Eric Brakey returns to outline why he’s looking to reclaim his old state senate seat in Maine, and what issue he’s looking to help address for your average voter in main. </p>
<p>“I’ve been knocking a lot of doors, talking with a lot of voters… I am running to reclaim my state senate seat that I held in Maine for I held it for two terms in the past from 14 to 18. And I left, I stepped aside from that to run for US Senate and Congress over two terms. Neither of those races worked out how we hope but we did get the message of freedom out there, which I think inspired a lot of new activists who are making a difference today. </p>
<p>But yeah, I am running to reclaim my old state senate seat. It’s been great to reconnect with a lot of my former constituents. So hopefully, who will be my constituents once again after this election cycle and boy people are hurting out there. </p>
<p>Inflation is is is really hurting people. I mean, it’s universal from truckers to soccer moms, I go door to door everyone is talking about the price of gas is concerned about how they’re going to afford their next fill-up, and man, we’re looking at, you know, gas station just down the road… For me, we’re looking at $5.21 a gallon for the lowest grade gas. </p>
<p>Boy, it’s it’s all of the warnings about inflation and the out-of-control spending and the printing of trillions of dollars out of thin air that us libertarians have been warning about for decades. Now. It’s all coming to a head. And nobody outside the liberty movement seems to have any idea how to talk about this. And, you know, it puts us in a great position where we are the ones with the answers, because we are the only ones who understand how we got here.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Chris Widener joins the program to outline how you can influence others by being winsome… and hey, you may even win some!</p>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">“One of the phrases that I coined is that in order to win some, you must be winsome. And, and I really believe that. You can’t be a jerk. </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading"> </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">You know, sometimes, the Bible says to speak the truth in love. And I think that’s a great merger, right? You want to speak the truth, but you want to do it in love. </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading"> </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">Some people, they won’t speak the truth. They say, “I’m not gonna say anything, everybody can do whatever they want to do, I’m not gonna say something’s wrong…” </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading"> </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">And they just love everybody. </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading"> </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">Well, a society of people doesn’t move forward if you just do that. </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading"> </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">But then there’s other people who just speak the truth. And they don’t demonstrate the love, and people’s look at them like, “Wow, well now you’re kind of a jerk.”</h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading"> </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">You know, speaking the truth in love means considering the other person’s interests and doing it out of helping the other person. But sometimes you need to say something that they’re not necessarily going to like. </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading"> </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">And you know, there’s an old biblical proverb that says, “wounds from a friend can be trusted.” I want people to know that even though it might hurt, you can trust me that I’m saying it, because I believe that it’s the right thing, and it’ll help you out. </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading"> </h6>



<h6 class="wp-block-heading">We need to be winsome, you know, the old Ronald Reagan, happy warrior kind of thing. And I just, I think that we would do far better if we could do that.”</h6>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 257 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, Zach Burcham, and newcomer to the podcast Devon Guffey are in the house. Bicentennial events are happening every weekend! We talk about the time capsule opening, what went right, what went wrong, and what has to happen for the one getting buried in a few weeks! Devon is a successful tournament fisherman, we get a glimpse into what makes that happen. How tournaments work, if electronics make a difference, and if he would ever consider getting his boat wrapped with his social media following.</p>
<p>Finally, Rush County had a tornado strike, and it dropped right on top of Jeremiah’s parents house. Thankfully nobody was injured, but there was significant damage to houses in the area. Jeremiah and the family are BLOWN away at the community response immediately after the tornado. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we’re actually talking about abolishing the IRS! But we’re doing it in a roundabout way! Listen as Steve Hayes from the Americans for Fair Taxation joins us to outline how the FAIRtax could actually help us abolish the IRS on our path of eliminating the income tax.</p>
<p>“We started working on this idea of eliminating the income tax, totally eliminating it, and replacing it with an excise tax – effectively what we had in the Constitution, which is a retail sales tax on the federal level.</p>
<p>It would be on new goods and purchases – and emphasize <strong>new </strong>– not used, but new goods and purchases, and retail services. If you go get your haircut, you get it if you’re a lady and you get a manicure, those are retail, those are going to be subject to the fair tax. <strong>The fair tax rate is 23</strong></p>
<p>The idea is that what you’re going to do is get your entire paycheck. <strong><em>Because we fund the government differently.</em></strong> We don’t fund it with an income tax and the payroll taxes like now – we fund it by giving you all of your money so that you’re in charge of how much tax you pay.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What if you could reach your target market on the exact issues they care about? That’s the question I answered (amongst many others!) when I joined the Inventor Network’s Virtual Summit last evening! Listen as I give my presentation, “Proven Sales & Marketing Strategies That WORK!” here on today’s episode!</p>
<p>“The world has changed over the past few years. With the advent of COVID-19, and what we’re doing today.</p>
<p>So not only has the world changed, but also, the world of sales and marketing has changed.</p>
<p>So it’s important for us to not only make sure we’re addressing what’s changed, but also, as we’re moving forward, make sure that the strategies we’re implementing in the world of marketing and sales are keeping up with the times as well.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m joined by Richard Blank (CEO of Costa Rica’s Call Center) who give us some real, authentic means to enhance the sales experience for both the prospect AND the salesman. </p>
<p>“Well, since I grew up in the 70s, and 80s, I loved going to arcades – and I’m a retro gamer. I don’t have a PlayStation or an Xbox. I’m an old-school gamer. And so my passion turned into an obsession. </p>
<p>And once I started making a little money and have the room here at the center, I started treasure hunting. And there are people down here with pinball machines and jukeboxes and a lot of toys that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. </p>
<p>And so call me Oscar the Grouch, I’ll be willing to drive a couple hours to find myself a classic rock cooler, or a pinball machine. And so most of these games are older than the agents here, I created a happy neutral environment so people can meet others from different departments that can let off steam – they can recharge batteries. And imagine an environment where you can hang out and play some games together. </p>
<p>And so, for me, I felt it was very important. It reduces attrition. When people are best friends with other people, they usually stay at a company.”</p>
<p> </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m joined by Hayward City Council candidate Michael Lema, who is seeking to bring liberty based solutions to Alameda County!</p>
<p>“I decided to run because, in March of 2020, I got out of the Marine Corps after serving five and a half years. And I got back in mid-March, March 15, and I went to go work my first job as a normal person again.</p>
<p><strong>And they laid me off right after my first day.</strong></p>
<p>They’re like, “Hey, come back in two weeks, this whole COVID thing is serious. We’ll call you when it’s time to come back to work.”</p>
<p>Two weeks rolled around, I call them back like, “Hey, I’m ready to go back to work.”, and they say, “Like not yet, call us back in another two weeks.”</p>
<p>So I call them back again in two weeks. And they’re like, “You know what, we’ll just call you.” And so I was laid off for <strong><em>two months</em></strong>, and I couldn’t take it anymore. So I got a new job, which is my current job, now as the lead journeyman electrician for a crane company. And that was going great. I got sent off to the field, though, to a national laboratory, where I’m at.</p>
<p>And my boss had given me an envelope with a paper in it saying I’m allowed to drive. And I was really confused. Why he said, “Well, in my county and in my state there was a statewide curfew that you were not allowed to drive after 6 pm.”</p>
<p>And that was the tipping point for me.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I confess that I hold a lot of biases when it comes to various surgical specialties. One such bias is that orthopedic surgeons – especially trauma – are not deep thinkers. My guest today completely turns that prejudice on its head as we discuss the role of nutrition and vitality in disease and recovery rates.</p>
<p>Setting the Hammer Down</p>
<p>Obviously, an orthopedic trauma surgery focuses their care on treating patients with fractures sustained in injuries. However, Dr. Miller now looks beyond the obvious mechanical or lab-based problems that patients present with. He uses some principles of functional medicine to seek the answers to what might afflict his patients. For instance, perhaps the pain in their joint isn’t from arthritis but from a dietary problem.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mahgdalen Rose returns to the program on a special solo episode, discussing why being controversial can only get you so far!</p>
<p>“It’s one thing to say everything controversial you can to get yourself trending on CNN or Twitter, Instagram.</p>
<p>But it’s another thing for soccer moms to go vote for you. It’s another thing for fathers to go vote for you. It’s another thing for business owners to believe that you’ll have their back if something happens in the state and they need more time and they need small business loans.”</p>

<p>Henry County is 200 years old; Jeremiah and Dakota are joined by Carrie Barrett and Scott Frost of the Bicentennial committee. There are activities happening all year long, but the 200th “birthday” was this week! A time capsule will be opened this weekend. Producer Zach Burcham is running in the torch relay. There is a Guinness Book of World Record to be broken later this month, and last weekend the Jack’s Donuts professional donut hole eating contest crowned an inaugural champion! </p>

<p>He knows what the county needs, and is not afraid to say it.</p>
<p>He is also a Libertarian, allowing him to approach our problems from an out-of-the-box and bipartisan perspective badly needed in politics today.</p>
<p>Today, Kelly returns to The Brian Nichols Show to outline why he’s running for Kern County Board of Supervisors!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sex work occupies a legally gray space in Johannesburg, South Africa, and police attitudes toward it are inconsistent and largely unregulated. This results in both room for negotiation that can benefit sex workers and extreme precarity, where the security police provide can be taken away at a moment’s notice.</p>
<p>There is growing concern about the appropriate role for police, if any, in society. Many people around the world are examining policing in response to incidents of violence within marginalized communities. In recent decades, police have taken on additional responsibilities as administrators of social welfare and adopters of community policing.</p>
<p>Yet, it remains an open debate whether policing and criminalization bring additional security and human rights protection, especially for historically stigmatized populations. Within this social context, Thusi examines the policing of sex work in Johannesburg, and whether a human rights approach to sex work should ever contribute to more policing, even if the policing is limited to sex workers’ clients.</p>
<p>Challenging discourses about sexuality and gender that inform its regulation, Thusi exposes the limitations of dominant feminist arguments regarding the legal treatment of sex work. This in-depth, historically informed ethnography illustrates the tension between enforcing a country’s laws and protecting human rights.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Reno Reset is real! And with it, a new leadership at the helm of the third largest political party in the United States – The Libertarian Party.</p>
<p>After 4 years of building an infrastructure, the Mises Caucus has officially secured leadership roles across the LNC.</p>
<p>Now what? Well, that’s why Stephen Decker and Jeremy Todd are joining me on today’s episode! Both had the opportunity to attend the Libertarian Party national convention this past weekend, and with that, give us their take as to what we can expect next now that the Mises Caucus firmly has grasp of the party.</p>
<p>“If I’m giving advice to the Mises Caucus, is that alright, it’s no longer about the Mises Caucus now. All right?</p>
<p>It is about the Libertarian Party, and you need to own that name, “<strong><em>The Libertarian Party</em></strong>“.</p>
<p>It is no longer “this person joined the Mises Caucus!” but “that person has joined the Libertarian Party”.</p>
<p>And so make us all one… <strong>help unify the party</strong>.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Social media and talk hosts have recently shared the blame for mass shootings, but these outlets are not the progenitor of ideas like the Great Replacement Theory. They’re exploiting the numbers built in darker corners of the internet. While this aired on March 20th, 2019, the information is still sadly as relevant today as it was after the New Zealand shooting. Harry Price and James Nease join me. Nease was one of the first people on 4Chan, and has been a moderator since its beginning. He explains the culture of what the media is mislabeling the “far right.” We also discuss the alienation of young men in today’s society and what steps we can take to bring people out of isolation and into healthy communities.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The customer is always right. Yep. We’ve all heard that saying many a time. And unfortunately, too many sales pros believe that this old way of thinking is actually true.</p>
<p>You know, the idea that the rep who does whatever their prospect asks and wants is the one who kills it month after month.</p>
<p>But is that really the case? Is the customer always right? Ask any seasoned sales professional, and they’ll tell you that not only is this plain wrong, but in fact, it’s an almost guaranteed way to sabotage any sale.</p>
<p>Instead of playing the role of order-taker, we have to play the role of consultant. And with that, it requires us to be assertive.</p>
<p>Now assertiveness itself can get a bad rap, as people can easily misinterpret assertiveness as pushy or rude. But what do we mean when we’re talking about assertiveness?</p>
<p>And what role does assertiveness play in helping you close more business?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today’s guest (Prof. Alex Salter) recently joined Phil Magness and wrote <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/3487438-the-zombie-economics-of-inflation-and-unemployment/">an article for The Hill</a> outlining how bad economic ideas can have a frustratingly long shelf life. Amid surging consumer and producer prices, the apparent tradeoff between inflation and unemployment has become a hot topic.</p>
<p>There’s just one problem: <strong>the tradeoff doesn’t exist</strong>.</p>
<p>Economists have known this for 40 years. Policymakers and commentators asserting otherwise should get with the program.</p>
<p>“In policymaking circles – public economics commentators – (those sorts of positions), there persists this myth that there’s a steady and exploitable trade-off between unemployment and inflation.</p>
<p>The idea is you can quote-unquote, “run the economy hot”, in which case you’re gonna get low unemployment, but you have to put up with high inflation.</p>
<p>Or if you want to try and bring down inflation, you have to put up with not-so-good labor markets, and higher unemployment.</p>
<p><strong><em>In brief, this view is bogus. There’s nothing to it.</em></strong></p>
<p>There is absolutely no reason why you can’t have strong labor markets, and low and stable inflation. You can even have strong labor markets with no inflation.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I joined Kyle Matovcik over on his program, “In Liberty and Health”. We covered a TON of topics (like my weight loss, my move from Philly, and more!), but we spent a vast majority of our time focusing on fixing our old, broken libertarian messaging.</p>
<p>Are we up for the task?</p>
<p>Give a listen!</p>
<p>“The voter doesn’t want to hear what it means to be a libertarian. Why? <strong><em>Because they don’t care. </em></strong></p>
<p>Why should they care? What does it mean to them – what being a libertarian means to us?</p>
<p>What they want to see is (and what we should be showing is), what do the libertarian ideas mean, for me, as it pertains to the political process. We have done a terrible job in being able to connect the dots. What we’ve done is we say, “look at this book, it’s amazing. It’s got all the amazing answers to life’s problems. And it’s all right here. And all you have to do is you have to read this book, and then another one, and another one, and another one.”</p>
<p>And we good idea, people with death, instead of saying, “Hey, I noticed that while you were at the grocery store, today, you are complaining about how the grocery cart isn’t as full as it used to be, when you’re putting $100 worth of food in into the cart? Well, maybe we can talk about how we got here, right? I mean, would that be something you’d be open to discussing?”, and then all of a sudden, you’re talking about something that’s real to them. And then you can start to position a libertarian solution.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 255 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out!</p>
<p>It’s our 5th annual Indy 500 preview show! Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, Zach Burcham, Mike McKown, and Blake McKown.</p>
<p>Jeremiah brought Brian Nichols to qualifying weekend, they discovered “Kirk Kirkwood”; The fastest pole speed in history just happened! The month has been mostly clean, but Monday we had our first major crash with Dalton Kellett, Blake tells us that the team is scrambling to get parts and pieces to get them back on track. Paul Tracy is in headlines still complaining over the 2002 finish – should it even be discussed any longer? Bronze badge fans are unhappy about the communication from the track. And we dive deep into the betting lines. Everyone picks a long shot and a dark horse!</p>
<p>Catch the guys at the race track this weekend, and watch Sunday on NBC!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Returning to the program today is Tim McMaster, Libertarian candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania!</p>
<p>“It’s really good to be out front and center with the local people. And as they say, ‘all politics is local’. </p>
<p>And I truly believe that, because every issue that we face on the local issue, if you just expand that out, essentially, that’s on the state level on the national level as well, with some exceptions.</p>
<p>But overall, people are concerned about the same things – how they’re going to feed their kids, you know, are they going to raise their kids properly? How are they going to educate their kids? Are they going to have anything to leave their kids? Is it gonna be all taken from your property taxes or some other kind of government extortion program? Those are really the top-of-mind things that I’ve really been focusing on.” </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 254 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! </p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, Zach Burcham, and Brian Nichols are in the house. Our special guest is State Representative Tom Saunders. Tom has been a staple of our program since the beginning; we talk about the possibility of suspending the gas tax and how that would possibly work. We take a deep dive into Tom’s career in the Legislature, fun stories, constituent services, and his run ins with the Governor’s office. Tom served alongside six Governors and tells how he got thrown out the back door of the office once. And how Governor O’Bannon took a liking to him. There have been significant changes in the way the legislature works, and Indiana is starting to resemble Washington in the lack of relationships among members.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1973, the US Supreme Court ruled on the Roe v. Wade case and concluded that Americans have a constitutional right to an abortion up to viability of the fetus. That has been the law of the land… until now (or at least very soon).</p>
<p>Roe v. Wade Overturned</p>
<p>A few weeks ago, a draft majority decision by the Court was leaked which showed that there was a majority of justices on the Supreme Court who were going to rule in favor of the state of Mississippi in their challenge to the Roe decision from nearly 50 years ago. Effectively, overturning the Roe decision would revert back the power to regulate abortions from the federal to the state level. Many states have been anticipating or preparing for the eventuality of this decision and have created ‘trigger laws’ which go into effect if and when Roe is reversed. Most of those states make abortion more restricted or outright illegal. However, some states have liberalized abortion making it legal right up until birth.</p>
<p>Challenges for the States</p>
<p>Elizabeth Nolan Brown, Senior Editor at <a href="http://reason.com">Reason</a> magazine, lays out a few of the problems with this ruling coming back to the states. Primarily, although the states can regulate what happens in their borders, it is very difficult for them to restrict what people do in other states. For instance, can states really stop women from crossing the state line and getting an abortion? Can they prevent mail order morning after pills?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does this sound familiar? </p>
<p>The looming threat of war hovers over the United States like a vulture circling its prey. A deadly virus is running through the population, forcing many to avoid highly populated areas. Furthermore, the nation is reaching a level of political division so severe that it threatens the stability of the country.</p>
<p>While you might think this is a description of the U.S. circa 2022, these were actually the circumstances that the nation found itself in at the beginning of the Adams administration. </p>
<p>This backdrop isn’t all these two periods of history have in common, either. As Americans today are engaged in a great debate over how to handle the spread of misinformation, it would behoove us to reflect on how the first generation of Americans overcame this very issue. </p>
<p>Efforts to contain misinformation have become a growing point of contention in the United States as of late. Social media giants flag and deplatform individuals who spread allegedly false information at an increasing rate. Of course, who gets to distinguish between genuinely false information and areas with legitimate room for disagreement is where things get messy. </p>
<p>Today, Caleb Franz returns to the program to outline misinformation throughout history, and the role free speech plays in fighting actual misinformation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Inflation has been felt at the grocery store, at the gas pump, at the car dealership, traveling…. okay, pretty much everywhere.</p>
<p>And yes, that means that the home building industry has been hit just as hard. How hard has it been hit? Well, returning to the program today is David Belman (Belman Homes) who outlines how the supply chain issues, when coupled with the increase in interest rates and inflation, has been a perfect storm for the home building industry.</p>
<p>“When you put all the regulation that you have in, in our [home building] industry, right now, it’s adding<strong> $94,000</strong> to the cost of a new home due to local state and federal regulation.</p>
<p>And you talk about these young kids and they’re going to work and trying to get money so they can buy a house and they can’t afford it because the government’s costing so much money before you even put a shovel on the ground.</p>
<p>So that’s what I’m really passionate about is really trying to help the housing affordability issue because it’ll help everybody because housing is something that everybody should have access to.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m riding solo, talking about why it’s okay to say “no” in both life and in sales.</p>
<p>Later, I dig into why I think it’s important we focus on celebrating greatness, and then finally, I wrap up by outlining my strategies to effectively listen to podcasts.</p>
<p>“As a matter of fact, it might be the thing that’s actually holding you back in sales.</p>
<p>There’s only one thing that each of us experiences in the exact same way. And that’s time. T</p>
<p>Time is the ultimate non-renewable resource.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter where you’re born, what family you’re born to, how much money you have your predicaments in life or any other extraneous situation you can think of time evens all playing fields, and saying the word know gives you control of dictating who does and who doesn’t get part of that time.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“My body, my choice” doesn’t seemingly apply to those refusing the COVID booster.</p>
<p>At least, that’s how it appears, as today’s guest (Ellie Puentes) was EXPELLED FROM COLLEGE for the the audacity of refusing to take the COVID booster… all this after having an adverse reaction to the second dose of her COVID vaccine!</p>
<p>Listen as Ellie outlines her experience being expelled by Union College and how far the COVID insanity gone.</p>
<p>” I’m fully vaccinated. I received my second dose back in September, but I got so sick from it to the point where I ended up hospitalized and continued to have something to this day.</p>
<p>And before getting the vaccine,<strong> I had no health issues. </strong>So when I got an email from my school, reminding me to get the booster vaccine, I sent out an email with my concerns, and my request for an exemption was <strong>denied</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>They denied my hospital documents</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>They denied a letter written by my doctor</strong>, you know, who’s known me longer than administration of Union, where he stated it’s ill-advised for me to receive the booster right now, and they <strong>denied</strong> that.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 253 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! </p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Chase Peyton, Zach Burcham, Joey Mulinaro, Kyle Robbins, and new face Grayson Jolsin are in the building to talk about the Kentucky Derby, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, F1 reaction from Miami, Zach’s completion of the mini marathon and much more. Joey owns a horse that ran at the derby this weekend, he and Conor Daly are hosting a live podcast with Indy 500 champ Alex Rossi and 500 pole sitter James Hinchcliffe on May 16th in Indy, and there is a special opportunity to win a suite pass for this weekend’s race with Joey atop the IMS Pagoda. And we can’t wait to play in Joey’s new motorhome from Mt Comfort RV all month long.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m joined by Michael Seifert (CEO + Founder of <a href="https://info.publicsq.com/">PublicSq</a>.) joins the program to introduce PublicSq – a platform that is connecting freedom-loving Americans with local community, reliable information, and the businesses that share their values.</p>
<p>“There is a whole separate economy emerging for the people that are just tired of the wokeness. And they just want a break.</p>
<p>And they want to support businesses that make them proud to be an American. That’s what people want to feel. And for us, you know, the goal is, let’s capitalize on that.</p>
<p>Let’s actually build that community with that mission at the forefront, especially for the small businesses and local communities. Our kind of mission is how can I help the one location coffee shop feel that same sort of magic, And it’s been pretty cool to see that come to life.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The conversation towards abortion/Roe v. Wade has always been a heated discussion… but does it have to be that way?</p>
<p>Returning to the program today is Oliva Rondeau, who joins us to walk through this often difficult and delicate subject, and how we can best avoid the usual demonization.</p>
<p>“The answer lies in communities, how these communities take care of their pregnant women and pregnant teens who are in a tough situation, and how we view these pregnant women and pregnant teens and try to end the stigma.</p>
<p>Because people make mistakes, it takes two people, like… we’re all adults here. So let’s let’s kind of end the, ‘us versus them’, </p>
<p>As we go more and more polarized and more and more separate, you’ll see that, as we demonize each other, the situation does not solve itself.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Returning to The Brian Nichols Show today is Dr. Patrick Moore (Author, “Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom”) to discuss how most of the scare stories in the media today are based on things that are invisible, like CO2 and radiation, or very remote, like polar bears and coral reefs.</p>
<p>Thus, the average person cannot observe and verify the truth of these claims for themselves. They must rely on activists, the media, politicians, and scientists – all of whom have a huge financial and/or political interest in the subject – to tell them the truth.</p>

<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, Zach Burcham, and returning guest Bash Crider are in the building. We recap this week’s primary results, following our candidate series as sponsored by Weiland’s Flowers, Big Bounce, and The Slick Pickle. Bash shares with us the need for estate planning for millennials (and everyone else), and finally we talk about crypto-currency, we try to understand what an NFT is, and Jeremiah sends Dakota down a conspiracy rabbit hole.</p>

<p>“I think it’s pretty obvious that the main thing we can take away is that it’s important for us when we’re speaking the truth and selling the ideas and solutions that we bring to the table from the liberty perspective, that instead of being squishy and trying not to offend, that It’s important to make definitive and declarative positions based on not only what you believe, but also in the face of that which you disagree with…”</p>

<p>“So this is how liberty dies… with thunderous applause…”.</p>
<p>I bet you’ve heard that phrase used when discussing politics, right? Well, like many other examples, it is just one parallel between the world of “Earthly politics” and the world of “Star Wars politics”.</p>
<p>Joining the show to help outline just how much our world and the Star Wars world share is host of “Beltway Banthas” and political commentator Stephen Kent!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today on The Brian Nichols Show, Clint Russel <a href="https://libertylockdownpodcast.com/">(Host, Liberty Lockdown</a>) returns to the program to help outline the top-3 issues we libertarians/liberty world should be focusing on in order to meet people where they’re at on the issues they care about – specifically with an election less than 6 short months away!</p>
<p>“Libertarians need to get out of the hypothetical… like we are dealing with the real ramifications – ramifications of statism. <strong>And we have answers</strong>.</p>
<p>And we also have the diagnosis as to why we’re in the position we’re in. So you don’t need to talk hypotheticals – like this is actually happening to people<strong> in their real lives</strong>.</p>
<p>And that’s why it’s such a fertile ground from which we can work, you know? Like, this is our opportunity – I really believe that this is the greatest opportunity in my lifetime, to try and <strong>help people</strong>. And if that’s what you are motivated by, well, then you should wake up every day just roaring to go.” </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m joined by Steve Harrison, author of “Can’t Sell Won’t Sell: Advertising, politics and culture wars. Why adland has stopped selling and started saving the world”:</p>
<p><strong>“The advertising industry has lost interest in selling.</strong>  According to the IPA, we face “a crisis of effectiveness”. And our politics are to blame. We’re now so left-leaning, we’re no longer willing to stoke capitalism’s engine of growth. Instead, we’ve embraced a new raison d’etre: we’re saving the world. </p>
<p>But how genuine is our commitment to social justice? Who’s buying our purpose-driven campaigns? And what of the angry mainstream who are alienated by the agenda we’re imposing upon them? Most urgently, as businesses close and millions of families face unemployment in the post-pandemic recession, will advertising rediscover its commercial purpose and help revive the free market? </p>
<p>Or will an out-of-touch industry double down on social purpose and drift further to the margins of British life? This is the choice we face, and it’s one that adland cannot shirk.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What would you do if you were fired by your employer over something you had said on social media? Would you be able to survive or would you have to scramble to find work? That scenario is exactly what was faced by today’s guest, general surgeon Dr. Buck Parker. And his solution was a surprising one.</p>
<p>Seeds of an Entrepreneur</p>
<p>It doesn’t appear that Dr. Parker never set out to find ways to be financially secure outside of medicine. His path through medical school and his general surgery residency seemed fairly traditional. However, there were signs that he had an entrepreneurial streak about him as he began a very small online business selling gym equipment. Following that, he landed a role on a reality TV series which led to another starring role on a second show.</p>
<p>Aside from practicing clinically as an acute care and trauma surgeon, Dr. Parker leveraged his appearances on TV and built up a following on social media through Instagram and YouTube. And that’s where the trouble began.</p>
<p>Losing Your Job</p>
<p>Dr. Parker’s termination within his hospital system in 2020 happened a lot like the old joke in bankruptcy. “How do you go bankrupt? Gradually and then suddenly.”</p>
<p>Parker’s CMO had been very upset with his YouTube channel and social media presence for some time and when Parker published a video stating that the highest risks for COVID are those who are obese, elderly, and with medical co-morbidities, it was the final straw. Perhaps it was because the video went viral and the light it shone on an institution that didn’t want any attention paid to it. No matter the reason, it was the end of the line for Dr. Parker’s Salt Lake City surgical career.</p>
<p>Overcoming Job Loss as a Miner</p>
<p>Perhaps by happenstance, Dr. Parker had researched and eventually took the plunge to mine <a href="http://theparadocs.com/140">bitcoin</a>. Fortunately for him, the price of bitcoin exploded from a few thousand a coin to tens of thousands from the time he started to the time he had been let go. It more than supplemented his income lost as a surgeon and gave him the financial freedom to be able to walk away and not worry about scrambling to get another job.</p>
<p>It’s now been almost 18 months since being let go and the CMO has been replaced and the hospital has been busy. So busy they actually asked him to return but he declined. For right now, Dr. Parker doesn’t see himself going back to medicine but time will tell.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Tara Murphy (candidate for Branchburg Township Committee, NJ) joins the program to outline what issues she’s focusing on during her candidacy, namely how she is taking on career politicians who have grown deaf to the needs and concerns of their constituents.</p>
<p>“I’ve lived in my town [Branchburg, NJ) for about 11 years. And more and more every year, there’s more building and less open space in the town.</p>
<p>And we get a lot of flooding because of it. And this is usually brushed off by the current township administration.</p>
<p>So I’m running for township committee this year against two Republican incumbents prioritizing open space and freedom for residents over the overdevelopment – both commercial and residential in the town, which is causing flooding. The town has been run by Republicans for<strong> at least 25 years, maybe longer. </strong>And there are <strong>no term limits.</strong></p>
<p>…last year, the mayor told me that businesses were more important than residents. In 2020, the township overturned a marijuana referendum, saying that the people did not know what they were voting for when they voted to legalize marijuana. The township also regularly disregards the master plan for building and grants variances very, very easily.</p>
<p>So that is why I’m running for township this year.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m joined once again by Mike ter Maat! However… this time, he’s announced that he’s seeking to be the Libertarian Party candidate for 2024!</p>
<p>“I think that the big basket, of course, is that the Democratic Party and the and the Republican Party have gone off the rails in terms of their respect for the Constitution.</p>
<p>They hate each other so much that they are willing to do anything to suppress each other, including lying to the media – they’re authoritarian bent is really coming to fruition.</p>
<p>Both parties now claim that the other is fraudulent, that others are cheating and that their presidential wins are not legitimate. Neither party cares about the Constitution anymore. And, and that comes to bear in people’s lives in very real ways.</p>
<p>And not just because people are sick of hearing them make fools of themselves on television, although that’s pretty significant.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m joined by Morgan Bonwell (Founder, Right Strategies) to discuss the importance of building a storybrand to help candidates and campaigns effectively meet their constituents where they’re at on the issues they care about.</p>
<p>“So, the story brand framework, steps follow the basic concept of a hero meeting a guide. First, the customer has a problem that needs solved. And they’re introduced to a guide. And that guide gives them a plan or a solution, and calls them to action, where they either achieved success, and how they can ultimately avoid failure.</p>
<p>So in the book, it talks about using this method in business and marketing your product.</p>
<p>But as I started to develop this concept, while implemented, implementing it in my own business, I was like, wow, <strong>candidates could really use this</strong>.” </p>

<p><strong>[ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES]</strong></p>
<p>As weeks go by with the economy stuck on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many economists are starting to sound the alarm that the impact of our economy screeching to a halt could cause as much, if not more long-term death and prolonged hardship than the virus itself.</p>
<p>Dan J. Mitchell, a libertarian economist with a Ph.D. in Economics from George Mason University and founder for the Center for American Prosperity is amongst those economists raising his voice in concern. Mitchell joins The Brian Nichols Show today to discuss one of his more recent articles that discusses that very concern, titled, “The Temporary Tradeoff Between Health Outcomes and Economic Outcomes”.</p>
<p>Listen as we discuss his article and then dig deeper into the dangers of a stagnant economy as it pertains to both the economic and physical health of the nation and more!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I am once again joined by Josie (https://twitter.com/KweenJosie) on The Brian Nichols Show, this time discussing Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter.</p>
<p>“Elon knows what people want. He knows how to how to reach people – he listens to them.</p>
<p>And he knows that there is a yearning for normalcy. And people don’t want a “New World Order” – p<em>eople just want the order of the world that they already have</em>.</p>
<p>So he sees that, and he calls himself a free speech solutionist. And I see him listening to the people and doing you know, he does a lot of polls, for instance. And he’s got such a big following that they’re not getting trolled, so he listens to the people – he takes consensus.</p>
<p>And I believe we’re going to see him doing a lot of what the people who are using his platform want to see done. “</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m once again joined by Kenny Cody to discuss “<a href="https://www.newsmax.com/kennycody/herschel-walker-trump-endorsement-georgia-celebrity-conservatism/2022/04/13/id/1065604/">The Rise of Celebrity Conservatism</a>“.:</p>
<p>“I think we really have to look at how much we can capitalize on Republicans and people who are celebrities and are ready to come out of their shells. Hollywood and the left ostracize celebrities that sort of have these right-leaning tendencies hit for their conservative belief systems. And now you have these two people (Herschel Walker & Dr. Oz) who are now running as Republicans with “R”s next to their name on ballots</p>
<p>And I think the shift within the Republican Party’s direction is a good thing, because you’re kind of making people come out unashamed to be with conservatives anymore.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(This episode originally appeared over on The Business Addicts Podcast: <a href="https://www.kevingwhite.com/podcast/episode/df912a1d/ep-7-walking-the-walk-with-brian-nichols">SUBSCRIBE HERE</a>)</p>
<p>Brian Nichols shares his story of hope with us in this episode. Going from living in addiction to making choices to change his life, he lost half his body weight and is now empowering all who encounter him to be their best selves.</p>
<p>Food addiction isn’t necessarily one that gets much publicity… but that doesn’t make it any less of a real addiction! Addiction comes in all forms and is not limited to the “mainstream” substances we might think of when we use the term.</p>
<p>Brian is the host of The Brian Nichols Show and serves as a Director of Sales Development in the greater telecommunications/cybersecurity industry. Having spent years working with C-Level executives to help them “future-proof” their company’s infrastructure for an uncertain future, Brian is taking that industry experiencing and bringing it to the liberty movement.</p>
<p>Instead of focusing on libertarians being right, Brian believes in teaching the basic fundamentals of sales and their application in the world of politics, teaching you how to ask better questions to help change people’s minds.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m joined by Jorge Gonzalez Moore (Author of<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Theory-Constraints-Economics-Reality-Progress-ebook/dp/B08ZJYHMQW"> <em>Theory of Constraints Economics: Reality, Freedom and Progress</em></a>) where discuss solutions available to solve our societal and economic woes:</p>
<p>“And this is a thing in theory constraints… As you have a system and you need to understand the system. What you want to understand is, <strong>what is the core problem</strong>, or the constraints of the system.</p>
<p>And all the rest are just undesirable effects of that a fundamental constraint, or fundamental core problem. Okay, let’s start listing all the undesirable effects that we see in our daily life dealing with economics.</p>
<p>And so the starting point is to list those sets of symptoms. And then, well, the end result, if we’re able to find the causality between each of those symptoms, should be the core problem.</p>
<p><strong><em>And that’s where we need to focus everyone to find a solution. </em></strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m joined by Matt Larosiere from the Firearms Policy Coalition</p>
<p>“You know, the fight for the Second Amendment is a fight.<em> It’s an ongoing fight.</em></p>
<p>And so we have to properly watch our opponent telegraphing their moves and respond to them. So this rule does not ban you from making your own good at home – doesn’t ban anything to do with 3D printing – what it is trying to do is to make a legal nightmare for people who want to help you do that for people who want to sell you the products….the incomplete receivers, the completion jigs and stuff like that.</p>
<p>That’s what they’re trying to get at with this rule. It does not actually touch home building. But it touches everything around it to the point that they’re trying to just raise the cost and complexity of building a gun yourself. <strong>And I think that’s just as horrible as trying to attack it at its core.”</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Travis Corcoran wrote a new book called Restoring Reason, and I love the concept. He talks about the Trivium, which is a system of thinking through concepts. The first three pillars of a liberal arts education are grammar, logic, and rhetoric. In other words, capturing knowledge, thinking it through, and then communicating those ideas. How can a systematic approach to information help us combat the discombobulating cascade of information we deal with on a daily basis? Listen as we outline it.</p>
<p>In his book Restoring Reason, philosopher Dr. Travis Corcoran demonstrates how the liberal arts provide us with a skillset to evaluate knowledge and draw our own conclusions for clarity, confidence, and freedom. Dr. Corcoran explains the trivium—knowledge, understanding, and wisdom—and the foundation it lays for making high-quality decisions for a high-quality life. Restoring Reason is an intellectual self-defense manual to make sense of the world we live in. Including an analysis of the five biggest social engineers today, including corporate interests and legacy media, this reproducible, systematic framework will help you see truth, deny falsehoods, and lead a fulfilled, independent life.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Jay Bhattacharya returns today to further our discussion on the dysfunction within the scientific community around COVID-19. Specifically, we discuss what exactly happened to Dr. Bhattacharya after he co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration where he and two other prominent academicians laid out a case for a more focused protection plan for the elderly than the widely adopted general lockdowns and mandates at the time. Dr. Bhattacharya was not surprised to face opposition to their plan – but the way it formed and by whom did. </p>
<p>A Government Bureaucratic Cabal?</p>
<p>After the publishing of the GBD, the attack against Dr. Bhattacharya and his co-authors was blistering, numerous, and seemingly coordinated. Those on the outside, and even Dr. Bhattacharya himself, believed that the scorn from media, government, and academia was due to a general disagreement with their position – not a coordinated attack. It turns out that FOIA documents of emails from Drs. Fauci (head of NIAID) and Collins (head of NIH) prove that they worked in tandem to discredit the GBD through their contacts within the scientific, media, and government communities.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Focus on those who are in your target market, and then focus on the issues they care about. </p>
<p>That’s the theme of today’s Morning Sales Huddle on The Brian Nichols Show!</p>
<p>“This is where we’ve missed so badly over the past few years, – we have in, our heads – who our ideal customer is based on what we want them to be,</p>
<p><strong>But not who they actually are</strong>.</p>
<p>So if you want to actually meet people where they’re at on the issues they care about, well, good, because that’s going to help lead to positive success.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Lewis Black (CEO of Almonty Industries) returns to the program to discuss inflation, supply chain issues, and semiconductor shortage:</p>
<p>“The demand for semiconductors through the COVID lockdown was quite unexpected. Obviously, there was an enormous demand for consumer goods, phones, computers, so we put a huge sort of drag on the sector.</p>
<p>Then we couple that with increasing demand across the board, as we’ve reopened, we’ve got a lack of raw materials to actually produce them. And then, just to really put the icing on the cake, this push towards a greener future has put a dramatic effect on the supply chain for semiconductors.</p>
<p>So for instance, a normal regular gasoline vehicle has somewhere in the region of <strong>800 to 1000</strong> semiconductors. <strong>An EV has more than double that.</strong> So if you’re looking to ultimately replace gasoline vehicles with EVs, you’ll know where you’re gonna need double the number of semiconductors to make that happen.</p>
<p>And this just doesn’t exist – that capacity… that outputs – does not exist currently.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“The best way to combat real disinformation is not gate-keeping and algorithmic censorship. It’s asking tough questions and having real conversations.”</p>
<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Arthur Long of The Chicago Thinker joins the program to discuss the <a href="https://disinfo2022.com/agenda">“Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy”</a> conference and how The Chicago Thinker smoked some of “the most trusted names in news”.</p>
<p><a href="https://thechicagothinker.com/the-chicago-thinker-staged-a-media-regime-takedown-this-week-heres-how-we-did-it/">From The Chicago Thinker:</a></p>
<p>“This week, the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics (IOP) and <em>The Atlantic</em> magazine hosted a <a href="https://disinfo2022.com/agenda">“Disinformation and the Erosion of Democracy”</a> conference, and we have to hand it to IOP Director David Axlerod for bringing in <em>true experts</em> on the subject. The conference featured some of America’s <a href="https://thechicagothinker.com/barack-obama-and-company-dishonestly-lecture-uchicago-students-on-disinformation/">greatest purveyors of disinformation</a>, such as Barack Obama, Brian Stelter, Anne Applebaum, and a few token conservatives, including Jonah Goldberg and <a href="https://thechicagothinker.com/rep-adam-kinzinger-denies-fbi-complicity-in-jan-6-capitol-riot-as-doj-reels-from-accusations-of-entrapment-in-michigan-d-c/">Adam Kinzinger</a>. </p>
<p>The media, government, and academia elites speaking at the conference weren’t expecting to be challenged as they self-righteously spewed more lies—but our team at the <em>Chicago Thinker</em> was prepared to hold them accountable. </p>
<p>Student journalists from the <em>Chicago Thinker</em> respectfully listened, asked honest questions, and reported. Our efforts soon went viral, garnering millions of views on social media. We successfully turned the IOP’s “Disinformation Conference” on its head and sparked a national conversation about the corporate <em>media’s</em> disinformation. </p>
<p>If this week has taught us anything, it’s that the regime media is incredibly fragile. If a couple hard-hitting questions from college students can rattle the elites to such a degree, just think what would happen if our peers at other universities follow our lead.</p>
<p>Here’s how we smoked some of America’s most corrupt, partisan liars.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My jaw dropped when I read the following: “When the nation was facing the COVID-19 pandemic without knowledge of when a vaccine would arise, at least 75 federal lawmakers held shares of Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and Pfizer — all of which eventually benefited from nearly $6 trillion in relief bills to produce, manufacture, and distribute vaccines to the American public. Congress was directly involved in the creation and passing of these relief bills.” Addison Hosner had a great article on the plague of insider trading in Congress, and the Young Voices contributor joins me to detail how we can stop it.</p>

<p>“No, we aren’t wasting our time trying to win arguments. Rather, we’re focusing and leading by example with conviction.</p>
<p>When you lead with conviction, it gives you the opportunity to win. And when you win, you don’t even need to think about wasting your time arguing or persuading.</p>
<p><strong>Good ideas, when backed with conviction, will win the day.” </strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show with guest Kerry McDonald, Senior Education Fellor from FEE (the Foundation for Economic Education):</p>
<p>“I mean there’s a lot we could dwell on in terms of what is negatively happening in education. But I think that there are<strong> a lot of good things happening</strong>. Actually, as difficult and devastating as the pandemic response has been over the past couple of years, the real upshot is that parents have been put in charge of their children’s education in ways that were unimaginable pre-2020.</p>
<p>Not only beginning in 2020, with school closures and recognizing the power and influence of teachers unions, and keeping schools closed influencing CDC policy, which we saw last year, I think it’s really just opened a lot of parents’ eyes. And they’ve been more interested and curious about various other education options for their children.</p>
<p>So we’ve seen not only kind of record rates of parents removing their children from assigned district schools for homeschooling, creating pandemic pods – that in many cases have now turned into full-fledged micro-schools – but we’ve also seen tremendous support for school choice policies that enable education funding to follow students instead of going to these bureaucratic school systems that are increasingly unresponsive to parent needs.</p>
<p>So there’s a lot we could say about the negative aspects of American education today, but I think there are <strong>tremendous positives as well</strong>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris and Julia discuss how education will function when libertarians design the system.</p>


<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="What would education look like in a libertarian society?" width="1102" height="620" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hU9XaZEXZ2g?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• First, as with everything we discuss, we are not talking about a utopian vision of education. Every effort involving human beings will be flawed because humans are flawed. We strive for the optimal outcomes for students. It is hard for one person to predict how education would unfold once the monopoly is lifted because markets empower millions of individuals to collaborate using their talents. One mind is less adequate than a million minds. This powerful creative opportunity is at the heart of a libertarian schooling model.<br />• Despite opposing government schools, we are not anti-school. We are pro-teacher, pro-education, and pro-parent. We believe a new way of educating students must flourish in the internet age. Rote memorization is no longer adequate for knowledge work. Students need skills in critical thinking, problem solving, and a structure that supports self-discipline. The future is gig work, and we need a system that supports a new way of working.<br />• Let’s define education. We often think of it as sitting in a classroom for 8 hours a day in a physical building. But education is really the expansion of an individual’s mind. If the old way of education produces no real growth in understanding for a person, it cannot be considered education. We firmly believe that every individual is a genius at something. Our goal is to empower parents to help their child excel at their natural abilities. Imposing the traditional “sit in a chair for hours on end, listen to a lecture and read this textbook” model handicaps the creativity of both the teacher and student.<br />• The internet gives us a model for innovation. A cheap and low barrier to entry thanks to little government interference allows for rapid innovation, change, and adaptation.<br />• From a broad view, K-12 schools may not look much different than they do now in terms of the subjects taught. The difference will come in smaller classroom sizes, more options for schools closer to parents, happier teachers that earn more based on effort and skill, and greater selection in curriculums and teaching methods.<br />• The classic liberal arts education is still relevant despite an emphasis on specialization. Exposure to, understanding, and mastering the broad spectrum of human knowledge enriches the life and potential of a students while helping them learn where their emphasis might be placed. While a person may not be proficient in math, English, history, or science, it is still beneficial to a growing brain.<br />• Parents, teachers, and administrators would work together to adapt their educational style and curriculum towards the needs of the student and community at large. Gone would be the days of Washington bureaucrats setting standards for 370 million Americans. One-size-fits-all does not work in the highly individualized world of education.<br />• Teachers will also have more control over their classrooms. Many are unhappy due to low wages and limited employment opportunities. As new schools flourish, their interests will align with their students.<br />• One example of what we are talking about is called Hope Academy. It is a charter school in Indianapolis that serves teens struggling with addiction. This high school serves as a safe place for students to grow intellectually and personally.<br />• One other aspect of the libertarian view of education: Students would not be required to go to school. This is controversial and scary on the surface. The reality is most kids want to go to school, and most parents will send their kids to schools. According to Mary Ruwart’s Book “Short Answers to Tough Questions, a survey was done in Boston in the early 1800’s and 90% of parents sent their children to school/ Noncompulsory education improves the performance of classrooms by removing the students that don’t want to attend. Disruptions prevent barriers to learning.<br />• Like many ideas offered by pro-government voices, truancy laws are a security blanket that help them feel as if they’ve done something good. In reality, if a student does not want to attend school, they won’t even under out current laws.</p>

<p>“New York State – for those of you watching or listening who may not know – is an absolutely beautiful, amazing state. It is a true example of diversity… whether you want the biggest city in the nation, beautiful mountains, falls, rivers, lakes, if you want the opera or if you want hiking, if you want skiing, or you have baseball, football, hockey, and basketball, whatever is your thing. It is here in this state, from beaches to mountaintops, wherever you can imagine. You want to go boating, you want to go fishing? Yes, it is here in this state.</p>
<p><strong>The problem isn’t the state. The problem is the government. The government is so oppressive. It literally breaks up families. </strong></p>
<p>My mom died in South Carolina my step-pop died in South Carolina because it couldn’t afford to live here. You, Brian, said you’ve already left your family and friends here.</p>
<p>So what’s the hope?</p>
<p>The hope is in getting people in New York State to realize there are answers.”</p>

<p>“The job of the salesperson is to sell value. So, if somebody questions what they’re selling us, you mean, “I should go back and sell them more?”</p>
<p>No, we don’t go back and sell more, we go back and <strong>help </strong>more, <strong>we add more value</strong> to what we’ve already sold.</p>
<p>If you’re selling something that’s worthwhile, why not keep selling them more of it? If it’s helping their business grow, value for value, there’s people who are willing to pay what you have to offer.” </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The US health care system is fraught with all sorts of problems. Many of these have to do with consolidation in the market and scores of rent-seekers (those using legislation and regulation to maintain their market share. Those issues can probably be best resolved with fundamental changes within the halls of government. However, some of these problems can be addressed with new technology which offers solutions not even dreamed possible a few years ago. And the driver of much of this innovation rests on block chain technology.</p>
<p>Block Chains to the Rescue?</p>
<p>The basics of block chains have been discussed on this show where we explained the basic concept of what it is and how it works (<a href="http://theparadocs.com/140">here</a> and <a href="http://theparadocs.com/141">here</a>). We also looked at some helpful business applications such as decentralized finance and how that could unlock capital and make for opportunities for small medical practices. However, the real allure of block chain is whether it can solve some of the bigger problems in health care and bring about real structural change to the problems that plague doctors and patients alike: information sharing, supply chains, and payment processing.</p>
<p>Patient Information Sharing and Storage</p>
<p>Big Data is big money and there is no more valuable data set than patient health information. Companies pay millions of dollars for this data to develop health processes and businesses to manipulate the data to change patient behavior, physician behavior, and new businesses. However, the biggest problem is that the patient has no ownership of their information meaning that they cannot decide if the data is used or be compensated if it is. The possibilities of the block chain allow for patients to control their information and dictate those to companies – not the other way around.</p>
<p>Additionally, patients owning and securing their own data would allow for more accurate and safer transfer of their personal medical information when traveling between medical systems, EHRs, or even health providers within the same system. In essence, a patient could only transfer the information they want and deem important to a particular provider and no more. A quick example would be to just provide personal demographic information to an imaging center and not all their health history.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Andy Horning has run more election cycles than not since his first run for Mayor of Indianapolis in 1999. He’s run as a Republican and Libertarian for the US House. He’s run as a Libertarian for Governor and Senate too.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show with Nick Beato from Blackchip DAO:</p>
<p>“There’s a massive cultural revolution occurring. We’re transitioning from these centralized traditional hierarchy, government structures, these voting mechanisms that, there’s only a couple of decision-makers in some of these big businesses.</p>
<p>And it impacts all of us. So we’re transitioning, and we’ve been hurt before we’ve been lied to before. Centralized authority is, they’re bound by, microeconomic variables. Whereas, when you create this pure democratic structure that is a DAO, that’s – that’s incredibly trustless – it’s the only structure that allows for people, complete strangers who have never met, that come from all walks of life to communicate and contribute to satisfy a particular mission.</p>
<p>And you know, we’re talking about a structure here that allows for everyone to have a voice… you can make proposals to the community, and you could vote on those proposals. And everyone’s equal. And I think it’s an incredibly, incredibly new concept for people.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, it’s you and me again for a one-on-one Morning Sales Huddle!</p>
<p>“Now, we’re going to be talking about the ideas of spreading positivity today. Because if you look around the world, everybody seems to be negative<strong> all the time</strong>. And it’s exhausting.</p>
<p>And frankly, I’m tired of it.</p>
<p>I think we need to be the change we wish to see in the world. And yes, it’s easy to follow, you know, the easy path. And that is the path of least resistance. And then many times ends up being the one where we complain where we go out and we spread negativity. But today I’ll talk about <strong><em>spreading positive positivity recklessly</em></strong>. </p>
<p><strong><em>You can do it</em></strong>.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show with Joshua Eakle from Students For Liberty:</p>
<p>“Students for Liberty is the largest international student group focused on furthering the values of classical liberalism. We have students in over <strong>114 countries on every inhabited continent.</strong> We, last year had, I think, almost <strong>3000 events</strong> with almost <strong>a million attendees</strong>.</p>
<p>And we’re growing like crazy, you know, this year where I think we grew our budget by 30, or 40%. And we’re just kind of experiencing meteoric growth moving upwards and onwards, spreading the values of liberty across the world.</p>
<p>Our mission is to educate, develop and empower the next generation of leaders for liberty. And we’re different from other student groups in the sense that we are truly decentralized and bottom-up.</p>
<p>So those of you interested in libertarian ideas, a lot of organizations like talk about it. But then when it actually comes to living those values, we have built our organization to operate in that way.”</p>
<p>– Joshua Eakle, Global Marketing Director of Students For Liberty</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“I fear the country I love is becoming like the country I left.”</p>
<p><em>Lily Tang Williams was a law school assistant professor at Fudan University, Shanghai, China who immigrated to America and became an entrepreneur and an educator. </em></p>
<p><em>Born to illiterate working-class parents in China’s western Sichuan province just before Mao’s Cultural Revolution, Lily Tang Williams grew up experiencing extremely poor living conditions, food rationing, social chaos, and Communist indoctrination.</em></p>
<p><em>In 1988, Lily Tang Williams decided to study in the U.S., leaving her position with only $100 in her pocket and $1200 in debt to her American sponsor, a Fulbright professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Though she could not speak English fluently she was determined to achieve success in this country, earning a Master’s degree in Administration and Planning from the School of Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin. </em></p>
<p><strong>Is the United States quickly becoming more like the communist state she fled? And if so, how did it get so bad, so fast?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Lily is now seeking the GOP primary for Congress in New Hampshire, with the goal of helping to “Keep the American Dream Alive”. </strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 246 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! </p>
<p>The candidate series continues, as sponsored by Big Bounce Inflatables. This week Jeremiah Morrell and Jesse Riddle chat with the GOP candidates for Henry County Prosecutor; Tony Saunders and Michael Mahoney. We cover everything from what the Prosecutor is elected to do, their past experiences in the law. Topics include administrative responsibilities of the office, how often trials happen, if Prosecutors have discretion in enforcing certain laws. Our local jail population has swelled in recent years and a new facility is coming online. How does that interact with the Prosecutor?</p>
<p>Great conversation with some folks who understand how the law enforcement world currently works.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jacob Beckley joined us on the program recently to discuss how his organization, The Beckley Foundation, is leading the fight against pediatric cancer by utilizing the CURE token.</p>
<p>This revolutionary way of funding healthcare has changed the way research is funded.</p>
<p>Well, today, Jacob returns to the program, but this time, he brings a friend… Jim Nasr, tech innovator and CEO of Acoer, which is an award-winning tech firm specializing in user-friendly blockchain development.</p>
<p>Today, they help outline the technical structuring and architecture of the <strong>CURE Chain.</strong></p>
<p><em>“Supporting childhood cancer research, patients and their families is a compassionate effort, and I’m pleased we are able to make even a small difference”, says Beckley, “but it’s the tip of an iceberg fraught with underlying problems in an industry disinterested in change”. He goes on to describe two fundamental healthcare industry problems at opposite ends of the delivery system. </em></p>
<p><em>“Researchers need to share data, every day, real-time, in an anonymous, secure system. COVID vaccines are an example of the speed and acuity that can be brought to bear through real-time collaboration. That same process needs to be replicated every day, in every way, on every research project. By the time professional papers are published and peer-reviewed, it’s already old news”. At the other end of the spectrum Beckley talks about his primary goal: patient access. “</em></p>
<p><em>All the medical research, innovation and development in the world is worthless if patients are unable to access it due to economics or geography. Healthcare access should not be limited to the wealthy, the insured, or the geographically well located. Healing is for everyone.”</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When someone mentions the furnishers of the American Revolution, they are usually referring to Samuel Adams or Paul Revere. These men capitalized on the abuse of authority perpetrated by the British to popularize rebellion. However, the most effective individual to furnish the revolution is perhaps the most forgotten.</p>
<p>Mercy Otis Warren used entertainment and satire to provide levity in people’s lives while feeding them a more subtle message about liberty and tyranny. This helped grow revolutionary sentiment, and even after the war, it allowed her to popularize liberty in the new republic. In this Season 2 finale, hear how Mercy Otis Warren risked life, liberty, sacred honor, and her deepest friendships in pursuit of liberty.</p>

<ul>
<li>Legislation like this <strong>empowers state governments to police and control speech online</strong>, violating the First Amendment rights of online businesses. These bills trample the First Amendment by allowing the government to force private businesses to host speech they’d otherwise remove or restrict. Internet platforms have a First Amendment protection to curate content and decide whether to host specific kinds of speech. </li>
<li><strong>NPR-ization of the Internet:</strong> Proponents of these laws claim they will protect free expression and free enterprise when <strong><em>they actually move us closer to state-run media and state-run internet</em></strong><em>. </em>This is exactly why our Founders created the First Amendment—to <strong><u>protect us from the government</u></strong> telling us what we can and cannot say.</li>
<li><strong>Unintended Consequences:</strong> The law would prohibit social media companies from moderating just about any content — as the court noted. That means social media platforms would be compelled to host hate speech, violent content, X-rated content, etc. With so much inappropriate content and spam<strong>, platforms would lose their value</strong> to users, especially given that the law prohibits them from curating (organizing) content in certain ways.</li>
<li><strong>In addition to being unconstitutional, these bills are short-sighted</strong>: laws like this may be appealing to those frustrated by some social media companies blocking some views and content, but they certainly<strong><em> backfire</em></strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Slippery Slope:</strong> The Constitution prohibits federal and state governments, not private actors, from restricting Americans’ right to free expression. <em>If the government can force private internet platforms to host certain speech, it’s a short stop before that’s applied to Christian bakers who don’t want to bake custom cakes for same-sex marriages or pro-BLM bakers who don’t want to bake custom cookies for the police union’s holiday party.</em></li>
<li><strong>Private businesses can’t become a vessel for the government’s preferred messaging </strong>or else we risk the First Amendment’s entire purpose: to protect private <strong>Americans’ and private businesses’ rights to think freely, speak freely, associate freely, and align their actions with their beliefs as they see fit. </strong>Internet platforms have a First Amendment right to curate content and decide whether to host specific kinds of speech. </li>
<li> <strong>Ripple Effects:</strong> These unconstitutional laws threaten all our First Amendment freedoms. If we accept the basic premise that a majority can enact a law that infringes the rights of the minority (or alternatively, if a minority can infringe the rights of the majority), we’re in deep trouble. <strong>Bottomline:</strong> Once you accept gov’t compelled speech in the social media context, it’ll just be a matter of time before there’s public pressure (whether from the majority or minority) to force another industry to do the same in another context. For example, Democrats could force oil and gas companies to disclose “facts” about climate change.</li>
</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Listener Ana and I have been talking a lot about the Eastern European view of the current Russo-Ukrainian War. She’s from North Macedonia, which is north of Greece, south of Kosovo, and next to Albania. Her country was founded in 1991 after the dissolution of Yugoslavia, and has been in the constant push and pull of the West and Russia’s sphere of influence. She gives us some perspective on life in this position as well as the growing concern in her nation about Putin’s militarism. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The deaths at the hands of police of George Floyd, Michael Brown, Breonna Taylor, and other Black Americans spurred national outrage—but now what?</p>
<p>To make progress on the complex issues surrounding race and policing, Americans must begin a conversation rooted in mutual respect and in facts. Laying the groundwork for productive engagement, </p>
<p><strong>Dr. Will Moravits</strong> joins the program today and details how police officers are trained in the use of force and the choices they confront. In his new book, “<em>The Blue Divide”, Moravits </em>analyzes the past decade’s highest-profile cases of police use of force against people of color and looks more broadly at the criminal justice system, use of force, and the tragic disconnection between police officers and the communities of color they are sworn to protect.</p>
<p>A former police officer, Moravits brings a uniquely informed, mutually sympathetic point of view that can be heard by everyone who has an opinion about American policing—good, bad, or unsure about what to do to ensure safety and justice for all.</p>

We talk about roads, executive power, land use, cannabis reform, education and much more.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time and beauty are two of our most visceral perceptions. Yet, their nature is seldom questioned.</p>
<p>In this groundbreaking new work, Dr. Adrian Bejan — a true ‘original’ among physicists — explains, in a scholarly yet colorful style, the scientific basis for the perception of time and beauty.</p>
<p>Organized into three main ideas, the book begins first with the perception of time. The author expounds on why we feel that time flies faster as we get older. Perceived time, also called ‘mind time, ‘ is different from clock time. In this context, time is another word for ‘perceived change’.</p>
<p>Next, readers will discover that beauty is appealing because beautifully-shaped images are scanned faster by two eyes. To observe our immediate surroundings and to understand them faster is highly advantageous to survival; hence, there is an underlying evolutionary advantage to our discernment for ideal ratios, shapes, and beauty at large.</p>
<p>Finally, time and beauty are jointly understood to explain why the global pandemic had decelerated our mind time. This understanding arms us with techniques to slow down our mind time (which accelerates with age), and to create the conditions for living longer and more creatively.</p>
<p>Scientists may have contemplated aspects of time and beauty separately. In contrast, the author submits an original and rewarding approach to understanding them together. In the process, key questions to our cognition are answered.</p>
<p>Why does the mind ‘try’ to make sense of a new mental image? Why is there a natural tendency to organize a new input and mentally position it among past perceptions? Through physics, the book offers a general answer: to empower the individual with speed and clarity of thought, understanding, decision-making and movement.</p>
<p>The same answer holds for the other disparate perceptions illustrated in this book, from time and beauty to ideas, message, shape, perspective, art, science, illusions, and dreams.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Anne Hutchinson’s story is perhaps one of the most quintessentially American tales of virtue, sacrifice, civil disobedience, and resistance. She stood against oppression on two separate continents and on both occasions she was forced to flee because she wouldn’t back down. Anne laid the foundation for the freedom of speech, the right to assembly, and the right to worship as one deems appropriate. Few in American history had given so much and gotten so little in return. Yet, her story is largely forgotten throughout history.</p>
<p>This episode of Profiles in Liberty attempts to elevate her to her proper historical prominence. She was a martyr of freedom and America’s first true foremother.</p>

<p>A decentralized autonomous organization, more commonly known as a <a href="http://hypebeast.com/tags/dao">DAO</a> is raising the $4 billion USD in capital needed to acquire the Broncos. One of the major players spearheading the efforts is <strong>Sean O’Brien.</strong></p>
<p>Sean joins the program to discuss buying the Denver Broncos, who are valued at just under $4 billion USD, making for the largest price tag in the history of North American sports.</p>
<p>If they successfully bought the franchise, it would give people partial ownership of the team and they will be given the ability to control how the team is governed.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Frustration. Confusion. Anxiety. <em>Despair</em>. These are the symptoms of sensory overload, a state of mind in which we increasingly find ourselves. We’re drowning in data supplied by entities with no regard for our best interests. </p>
<p>Your intellectual freedom is at stake, threatened by everything from academia and Big Tech to the media and government. Fortunately, you have a way to take back personal control, and it’s a solution founded upon ancient philosophy. </p>
<p>In <em>Restoring Reason</em>, philosopher Dr. Travis Corcoran demonstrates how the liberal arts provide us with a skillset to evaluate knowledge and draw our own conclusions for clarity, confidence, and freedom. Dr. Corcoran explains the trivium—knowledge, understanding, and wisdom—and the foundation it lays for making high-quality decisions for a high-quality life. <em>Restoring Reason</em> is an intellectual self-defense manual to make sense of the world we live in. Including an analysis of the five biggest social engineers today, including corporate interests and legacy media, this reproducible, systematic framework will help you see truth, deny falsehoods, and lead a fulfilled, independent life. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There’s no shortage of an alphabet soup of government agencies but the same exists within the nebulous public-private sphere of medical education and credentialing. These non-profit organizations were created to ensure a baseline within medical education institutions across the entire country for medical students, foreign medical graduates and residencies. However old and established these institutions are, they are still staffed by people who make decisions and are charged with maintaining the organizations financial stability.</p>
<p>But, since they don’t have any real competition, they can make financial decisions that are not always the best for the long term viability of the organization which can lead to problems in the future. Sometimes those futures become the present and people paying for their services, ie, medical students, residents, and foreign medical graduates take the brunt of their poor fiduciary planning.</p>
<p>The real financial risk to many of these organizations is similar to what threatens governments at the local, state, and federal level: pensions.</p>
<p>The Sorry State of NBME’s Pension Program</p>
<p>Charles Kroll is a forensic accountant which means he is adept at parsing financial reports and determining where money is flowing and where the inherent financial risks are to organizations. With the help of analyst Elizabeth Tremblay, they have analyzed the financial data from the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) – which conducts the testing for medical students – and have found troubling signs. Foremost is that the NBME has a retirement fund that is worth almost $300 million which is twice the value of the organization. On top of this, the retirement fund is still underfunded which means it is at some risk for default with an organization that clearly could not meet those extra payments since it is dwarfed by the size of the retirement fund.</p>
<p>Of course, the great risk is to medical students which would probably be on the hook to make up for the financial offset if the retirement fund becomes grossly underfunded. The only real source of revenue for the NBME is its examination fees. And for medical students, they are forced to pay whatever fee the NBME comes up with since there is no competition and alternative testing organization in the United States. The financial mismanagement of this and other organizations will fall hardest on those with no choice and the least ability to pay.</p>
<p>Defined Benefits are the Problem</p>
<p>Retirement benefits are usually of two main types, defined benefits and define contributions. It effectively shifts the risk either on the employer or the employee. In the private sector, defined benefits (guaranteed payouts over the length of your retirement) haven’t really existed for 35 to 40 years. Nowadays, private companies and most non-profit organizations offer 401Ks which are specified contributions but do not guarantee your future payouts – they are whatever they returns are.</p>
<p>What is so unusual is that all of these medical education boards use defined benefits as their retirement structure which puts their organizations and, by definition, their clients at risk for covering the gap of underfunding their benefits. According to Kroll, unless the organizations kill their defined benefits plans they will be at increasing risk for insolvency or at a minimum, jacking up fees to students.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those influenced by our recovery-centered culture for decades – which includes just about everyone in America today – The Freedom Model opens your eyes to the truth that the conventional view of addiction is patently false and addiction is really just another word for habits based on learned preferences. Addiction is a cultural construct based on a host of myths, junk-science, misinformation, fear, lies, and shaming. All of this is harmful to any individual’s belief that they have the ability to change their habits for the better.</p>
<p>The Freedom Model rejects these myths, damaging rhetoric, and tactics meant to coerce and create forced abstinence in the user. The Freedom Model helps each person bring their innate power of choice back front and center by challenging all of the pillars of addiction myths our society has constructed.</p>
<p>Today, Mark Scheerenm, Chairman of Baldwin Research Institute and author of The Freedom Model for Addictions joins the program to show how embracing freedom and autonomy over one’s self can help us shatter our old, outdated, recovery-centered culture in lieu of real results.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Behind every great man, there is an equally great woman. At least, so it is said. No matter how accurate it is, this was certainly the case with John and Abigail Adams. Abigail’s constant love, loyalty, friendship, and companionship allowed John to push the nation toward independence at a time when nobody would stand with him. Abigail’s advice would oftentimes go on to shape the history of this nation. Thus, she served as the backbone in more than just the life of John Adams. Abigail was, in many ways, the backbone of the infant American nation.</p>
<p>Just as she continued to advocate for greater equality of the races and sexes to her husband, she served as the leading voice for the liberation of all people in a time when women had hardly a voice in the first place. For these reasons and more, she comfortably sits in history as THE Founding Mother.</p>

<p>Jacob Beckley (Chairman of The Beckley Foundation & Founder/CEO of CURE Token) joins the program to outline how cryptocurrency and the blockchain help pool the needed talent from the medical, scientific, and business communities. allowing them to join forces on an entirely voluntary basis to create awareness, identify promising initiatives and support research into cures for the most virulent and underfunded forms of childhood cancer.</p>
<p>CURE is dedicated to using the power of decentralized finance to help rid the planet of dreadful diseases like cancer.</p>
<p>Partnering with global research teams and drawing from a wealth of experience in the innovation, technological, and charitable sectors, CURE aims to go one step further than simply becoming the world’s most successful charity token.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s easy to become despondent about controlling spending or eliminating waste through reform on government expenditures. We’ve all seen the headlines about the $1 million hammer or toilet seat and governments losing track of money. Also, with all the people who have been elected on the platform of ‘transforming’ government or making it efficient, there has been almost nothing but the exact opposite happen. It’s why the joke about death and taxes not only funny but very true.</p>
<p>To make matters worse, imagine government getting involved in the purchase of a product that is incredibly expensive and wasteful – US health care. This is a recipe for budget overruns, poor health outcomes, and a bottomless pit of spending. The opportunities for wasteful spending is so great and the lobbyists to keep the gravy train of spending so powerful that tackling it at the state level seems hopeless.</p>
<p>Yet that is exactly what Christin Deacon did.</p>
<p>Reforming New Jersey’s Health and Benefits Plan</p>
<p>Maybe it’s because Christin Deacon didn’t know any better but she looked at the amount of money being spent on New Jersey’s health and benefits and actually thought she could find some meaningful savings for taxpayers. To her credit, she asked the questions that no one had asked and pursued solutions that no one had seriously tried before. Through her persistence, Deacon helped save New Jersey citizens over $500 million per year for years. Those billions of dollars have been used to fill other gaps in the state budget and most importantly, haven’t been thrown away on poor contracts or inflated pricing.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Slavery may have been eliminated everywhere in the United States until 1865, but America started its journey toward abolition in Massachusetts in 1781. As much as they disdained the institution of slavery, it wasn’t the likes of Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, or Patrick Henry that kicked off that journey, but rather a slave woman by the name of Mum Bett.</p>
<p>The story of Mum Bett is a powerful one that highlights a woman who knew in her heart that she had a right to be free. What’s especially fascinating about this story, however, is how it showcases that the original intent of the idea of America was to eventually eliminate, not sustain, the evil institution of slavery.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Expanding Choice for Physician Board Certification (NBPAS) with Dr. Paul Mathew</h3>
<p>A rite of passage for doctors is completing a residency in a specialty. Sometimes, they complete multiple specialty trainings but ultimately sit at the end of their years of training for board certification. At one time, once a physician got board certified, they were considered a specialist for life and no further testing or training was necessary. That all changed in the 1990s as the governing board for all the specialties, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) began to require that new trainees only receive time limited certification. This meant they would have to undergo new testing or requirements in order to maintain their board certification.</p>
<p>Initially, this expiration was every ten years and usually just involved an exam. Physicians grumbled about retesting within their discipline which required time, money, and travel usually. Eventually, over the years, the testing and continuing education modules grew and expanded requiring more and more time and expense. Now, a physician who is triple board certified, like a hematologist-oncologist, would have to do testing every 2-3 years with almost continuous rounds of studying parts of medicine that he/she no longer practices. This can cost the doctor upwards of $40,000 every ten years!</p>
<p>Why NBPAS is Needed</p>
<p>As the onerous and expensive requirements for ABMS recertification continued to pile up, doctors from prestigious medical institutions from around the country decided that it was time for another choice for board recertification. The concern was not in the initial training and certification process but simply in the verification of continued mastery in the doctor’s field of practice. Therefore, they set out to create a board certification that recognized prior training but focused continued medical education that the physician felt best helped them in their day to day practice.</p>
<p>This allowed the new all volunteer board to decrease the annual certification price to only 30% of the ABMS price while also drastically eliminating all of the mind-numbing busywork that doctors say contributes nothing to their practice but grows their burnout. Doctors were upset over the perceived exploitation and lack of response to their concerns over the recertification process so another choice through the NBPAS is a welcome addition.</p>
<p>NBPAS is Now Accepted by URAC and NCQA</p>
<p>One of the main limitations in the acceptance of NBPAS by hospital credentialing committees is the fact that private insurance carriers couldn’t get credentialed by their credentialing bodies if they didn’t use ABMS credentialed physicians only. Hospitals were very hesitant to allow medical staff who were not qualified to get paid by insurance carriers as they feel that this puts their patients at risk for surprise bills. Fortunately, NBPAS has now obtained acceptance by NCQA and URAC which are the main credentialing services for insurance carriers. This paves the way for physicians to have a choice between the ABMS certification or NBPAS and still get paid.</p>

<p>Not only did Cheswell ride with Revere, but he was also by all accounts an American original. He was the first black officeholder in American history, a well-respected member of his community, the first archeologist of New Hampshire, and his town’s historian, to name a few accomplishments. His story has largely been forgotten, but it’s time for that to change.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The COVID pandemic has created a lot of interesting surprising and challenging political dynamics in countries all over the world. In the United States, we have a clear divide between those who declare themselves Democrats and Republicans in whether they support mandates and <a href="http://theparadocs.com/123">vaccine passports.</a> The treatment of children remains a subject of a tremendous amount of strife. However, our neighbors to the North in Canada are having the same political tension growing as exhibited by the Freedom Convoy.</p>
<p>What is the Fredom Convoy?</p>
<p>The Freedom Convoy began January 22nd as a decentralized protest movement in Canada led by truck drivers entering the nation’s capitol, Ottawa. According to my guest today, Warren Speyers, the convoy is seeking to end the vaccine mandates for traveling and generally moving into businesses. Speyers says the truckers are not looking to fight vaccination, rather, just the mandates and edicts which they feel are restricting their freedoms and businesses.</p>
<p>The convoy consists of not just truckers but also many other Canadians who share those same goals and values. Speyers says that there are all sorts of trucks, tractors, and even personal vehicles which line the streets around Canada’s Parliament. From Speyers’ description, the convoy has been met with lots of support from citizens in Ottawa. The protests have been largely festive celebrations with people packing saunas, hot tubs, and even their hockey skates along with their families. The truckers have been showered with food, meals, valentines, money, hot showers, and offers of diesel gas from well wishers.</p>
<p>The Canadian Government’s Response</p>
<p>Although the protests have been peaceful, the Canadian government has sought to end the movement without pulling its restrictions and mandates. On the day we recorded, February 14th, Prime Minister Trudeau and the federal government invoked the <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/15/canada-emergencies-act-what-power-does-it-give-justin-trudeau">Emergencies Act</a> which is essentially grants the federal government extraordinary powers to prevent massive violence, threats to Canadian sovereignty or a threat to public safety and health. In practice, the government has threatened to freeze and seize the financial accounts of anyone who financially supports or participates in the protest since most of those involved are owner-operators and not actually parts of large corporations.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there is one thing that seems obvious throughout the pandemic, public discourse on just about everything seems to have broken our brains. We are incapable of having discussions without vitriol and there appears to be a real desire to not simply win arguments but destroy our ideological enemies. This leads to all sorts of strange behavior like fracturing previously solid personal relationships between family members, friends, colleagues, and, in today’s example, patients and their doctors.</p>
<p>Going After Her Medical License</p>
<p>It began with a surprising email in her gmail account in the fall of 2021 for Dr. Meg Edison. A man identified himself as an investigator for the Michigan State Medical Board and was following up on a patient complaint for ‘misinformation.’ After a google search to feel comfortable that the individual was an actual state employee investigator, Dr. Edison gave him a call to find out what the nature of the complaint was against her.</p>
<p>It turns out that one of her long standing patients had lodged a complaint with the state board of medicine claiming that she was pushing misinformation at their child’s last visit. The claim consisted of the 3 allegations:</p>
<ol>
<li>That cloth masks were not a very effective barrier for protection from infection by COVID and they would do better to wear a higher quality mask,</li>
<li>That it was unlikely that the FDA would approve a pediatric vaccine, and</li>
<li>That even 70% of the deer in Michigan have been infected with COVID as shown by serology testing.</li>
</ol>
<p>As one can see, all those statements are correct and were true by government authorities even back in the fall of 2021. Fortunately, the story has a happy ending and the Board of Medicine found the complaint to lack merit and was summarily dismissed without any action taken against Dr. Edison.</p>
<p>How Organized Medicine Can Protect Doctors</p>
<p>Organized medicine can be an extremely challenging and aggravating landscape for physicians to navigate sometimes. However, when it comes to standing up for doctors, there aren’t many organizations that will do it. And when it comes to taking on the licensing boards, state regulatory bodies, or hospitals the only groups that have doctors’ backs are the professional groups. Dr. Edison made the point that it is important to find your niche in organized medicine and run with it to help foster relationships with other physicians and learn more about the state of medicine and different ways to practice.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rob Kendall is the most hated man in Indiana politics and media, and I barely tolerate him, but he makes a lot of good points about the big government path that Indiana Republicans often walk down. I play one of his critics and give him a chance to answer them, and in the process, he makes the case for ending the big-spending habits of Republicans in red states and why there is a better path than shrugging and saying “they’re better than Democrats.” </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not only has the COVID pandemic politicized our country – it has led to a lot of misinformation and a shutdown of communication. For instance, is there really asymptomatic spread of COVID? Or just pre-symptomatic and symptomatic spread? That might seem like splitting hairs but it can have a profound effect on policy for quarantining and testing. We’ve talked about this before on the show as well as general discussions on COVID policy which can be found <a href="http://theparadocs.com/146">here</a>, <a href="http://theparadocs.com/143">here</a>, and <a href="http://theparadocs.com/134">here</a>.</p>
<p>12 Myths and 12 Facts About COVID-19</p>
<p>If there is one certainty during this confusing pandemic it is that there are plenty of myths circulating in the media and popular culture about COVID. In fact, many of the things we think we know are wrong. Public officials get them wrong. Doctors and nurses get them wrong. The CDC and FDA get them wrong. Unfortunately, once we discover the truth, often the word doesn’t get out there widely enough to change behavior, regulations, or rituals. Dan Halperin points these out in his book on <a href="https://amzn.to/3GaKQkN">12 common myths and 12 uncommon facts about COVID-19</a>.</p>
<p>One great example of this is the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces. We have almost no instances of the virus transmitting in this manner and it travels almost exclusively through aerosol means. However, despite this, businesses, individuals, and regulatory agencies still act as if ‘deep cleaning’ and intense adherence to eliminating surface contamination will help prevent viral transmission. This is patently false but it’s been over a year since we have known this and yet we are still wasting our time practicing this type of hygiene.</p>
<p>Another example of a myth believed by many is the transfer of viral particles from asymptomatic individuals to uninfected people. There are almost no documented cases of this type of infection yet we treat asymptomatic infection almost as a common vector. It is important to note that there <em>is</em> pre-symptomatic spread but people who never develop any symptoms just aren’t infectious. It is also true that you never know if you’re about to become symptomatic but we could certainly change the way we approach close contacts if the infected person never develops any symptoms.</p>
<p>Is the Current Environment of Scientific Debate Akin to McCarthyism?</p>
<p>Not only has Dan Halperin written on the epidemiology of COVID but he has also weighed in on his concerns with the academic and public nature of scientific debate. He notes how one of the creators of the mRNA technology expressed some “strange views” which many did not agree with. But instead of rebutting the researcher’s concerns, he was virtually eliminated from history. His contribution to the development of mRNA technology was removed from Wikipedia and he has been eliminated from all common public forums.</p>
<p>Dr. Halperin says it feels a little like McCarthyism which happened in the 1950’s over concern that the Soviet Union and communists were infiltrating American government and society. At the time, most Americans were in favor of the practice of ‘blackballing’ people because of the perceived threat of nuclear annihilation from our Cold War adversary. Only through the lens of time can we now look back and find the practice objectionable and he suspects the same will be the case with our current lack of public acceptance of differing opinions on COVID.</p>
<p>Daniel Halperin is an epidemiologist and full professor at the University of North Carolina School of Public Health and the author of the book: Facing COVID without Panic: 12 common myths and 12 lesser known facts about the pandemic.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the 2022 Libertarian Party National Convention just a few short months away, the race to become chair of the Libertarian Party is heating up!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.briannicholsshow.com/254-whos-the-lps-target-market-with-angela-mcardle/">Past guest and current chair of the LP of Los Angeles, Angela McArdle, is one nominee seeking the nomination…</a></p>
<p>The other is today’s guest – Tony D’Orazio!</p>
<p>Tony is currently the first Vice-Chair of the Libertarian Party of New York and had previously served as Chair of the state party and an At-Large Committee Member before that. He also has been active at the county level – serving as vice-chair of the Monroe County Libertarian Party for three years.</p>
<p>Today, Tony joins the program to outline his vision for the Libertarian Party, who our target market is, what the top issues if the day are (and what our messaging should be), and how LP National did on addressing the government lockdowns.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Frederick Douglass is world-renowned for his escape from and advocacy against slavery in the mid-1800s. His personal journey is a story that embodies what it truly means to be an American. It can serve as an inspiration to all of us to do what is right.</p>
<p>Yet, his ideological journey is perhaps even more fascinating. Once jaded by the American system that had allowed him to suffer in chains, Douglass realized only after he took his freedom for himself that slavery is a system that runs counter to the blessings of the liberty promised in the U.S. Constitution. Nobody can truly understand the true purpose of the Constitution under they understand the wisdom of Frederick Douglass.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dr. Graham is the most frequent guest on the Paradocs Podcast and has appeared 5 previous times to discuss COVID (they can be found <a href="http://theparadocs.com/086" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://theparadocs.com/096" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://theparadocs.com/101" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://theparadocs.com/114" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">here</a>, and <a href="http://theparadocs.com/143" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">here</a>). Today, we talk a lot of COVID but also what it takes to retire amidst a pandemic. Do you need extra financial security during these times? What strategies work best? But mostly, we discuss Graham’s optimistic feeling on where we are with the pandemic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Pandemic is Ending</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dr. Graham’s very optimistic that we are in the final stages of the pandemic. Both from a scientific, social, and political aspect. Scientifically, we are closely approaching the point where nearly everyone in America has been infected or acquired immunity to COVID from vaccination., This will significantly reduce the chances of mortality and move future infections to less severe. Socially and politically we are definitely seeing a shift away from shaming and hysterical calls for zero-COVID towards a more rational approach of accepting the virus’ endemicity and learning to live with its presence without extreme mitigation measures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There also seems to be a real reckoning that most of what we did to prevent transmission was largely ineffective even within the ruling class. This is an important point that makes it less likely that these measures will be broadly pushed in the future. Of course, there are still further calls to now push vaccine passports and mandates but the utility of them is crumbling as we see that vaccination is hardly effective at preventing the spread of the virus. Pushes to continue mask mandates except to N95s are present in some communities (especially schools) has occurred but are being met with even more hostility from the lay public.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One Way Masking is Now Possible</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for N95s, it is clear that they are fairly protective for individuals and all other masks have limited utility. This means that if you are an individual who wants extra protection from others, you can simply don the N95 yourself. This also means, that others can operate in their lives in a pretty normal capacity without worrying about others. Since vaccinations and boosters are widely available, anyone can get the protection they want without having to worry about others and what their ‘status’ is. This is a huge leap forward and Graham argues is the way forward with schools and businesses as it allows those who want extra protection to protect themselves and those who choose not to to live a fairly normal life. It is probably the only politically feasible path forward for our schools and everyday life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Paxlovid is a Game Changer</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, Dr. Graham spoke a little in that he is more optimistic because Paxlovid, the novel protease inhibitor, is now approved and has had amazing therapeutic results for those at risk of serious complications with COVID. It also may serve as a platform or basis for future therapeutics in other respiratory viruses. Yet another reason to be optimistic on the future of the pandemic. You can listen to my latest discussion with Dr. Monica Gandhi to get her explanation of Paxlovid in <a href="http://theparadocs.com/154" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">episode 154</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(<em>The following is a speech I would give if I were allowed to replace the current head of the Presidential task force on COVID-19, Dr. Anthony Fauci. We have had a huge loss of trust in our public health institutions and a change must be made. This is the speech </em><strong><em>someone</em></strong><em> needs to make as they replace the current regime which has had a run through two presidential administrations.</em>)</p>
<p>My fellow Americans, it is a great honor to receive this appointment to head the US task force on COVID-19. I want you to realize that I approach this position with great humility recognizing that I can never have enough knowledge and must rely on others to gather the most complete picture on this virus. The fact that this is a new pathogen means that our knowledge is ever-evolving and we must be nimble in our course of action. </p>
<p>It has been a long and dark 22 months that we have been dealing with this pandemic. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and millions world wide. Make no mistake, this virus can be deadly.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, throughout the pandemic’s response, the American people’s trust in public health, modern medicine, and government authorities has eroded significantly. Large swaths of our population no longer trust voices whom they deemed trustworthy just two years ago. This is mostly the fault of those in charge of public health and I seek to reestablish that trust.</p>
<p>Of course, regaining lost trust is not easy. It requires those who were in authority to accept their missteps. It requires a whole profession to admit it was wrong…..</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 238 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, Zach Burcham, and Aaron Dicken are on the voices in your ear. A wild ride of an episode.</p>
<p>The local primary filing period is happening. We preview the declared candidates for State Rep, Sheriff, Commissioner, and County Council. Dakota wants the next Sheriff to have biceps that rival current Sheriff Ric McCorkle’s.</p>
<p>Henry County is burying a time capsule for the bicentennial celebration in June. Our audience has a chance to decide what goes in the capsule. And as an added bonus, one buried in 1972 will be opened as well! What goes in the capsule? How much BHOL can we get in it?</p>
<p>This episode is a fun journey through local politics, and contains wild speculation and a fair amount of opinion. Give it a listen, and see if you agree!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whether you are in medicine or not, you are affected by the board certification and board recertification process. The certification and recertification process is not only expensive but also stressful contributing to burnout with physicians. After completing a specialty residency training, candidates for board certification have to jump through a number of tests to become board certified. These include a written exam and then possibly other components like oral exam, case review or something else. That something else is the subject for today’s show – the Objective Structural Clinical Examination (OSCE).</p>
<p><strong>What is the OSCE?</strong></p>
<p>The OSCE is a new addition to the board certification process by the American Board of Anesthesiology whereby the trainees are subjected to various tests with ‘standardized actors’ to see how they can perform various personal skills like informed consent, canceling cases with surgeons, etc. This type of extremely subjective exam (despite the title) is ripe for interpretation that puts residents at the whim of cultural, personal, and acting disadvantages. The further question would be does this actually add anything to the skills of the physician?</p>
<p><strong>What do Residents (And Program Directors) Think of OSCE?</strong></p>
<p>The study conducted by Dr. Goudra looked at what residents thought of the value of OSCE was not good. In fact, 90% felt that it was a useless component that provided no benefit to determining whether someone was a good physician or better clinician. A previous study conducted by the ABA actually found that a majority of program directors also thought the exam was not worthwhile – yet it was implemented and still exists. This is about as good an example of the specialty boards’ complete lack of accountability and focus on revenue. We’ve talked about all their problems with recertification <a href="http://www.theparadocs.com/009">here</a>, <a href="http://theparadocs.com/020">here</a>, and <a href="http://theparadocs.com/126">here</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 237 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, Zach Burcham, and Jesse Riddle are on the mics. Huge episode! The General Assembly is back at it. Talk of concealed carry, more teaching regulations, A State Rep wants school board members to declare a party.</p>
<p>Muncie is getting Ax Throwing. The Oldest state employee just died. He was 104, and retired at 102; Jeremiah is SHOCKED at how much money he made. We have another Brandon Brown update, and the guys review “Don’t Look Up” the new Netflix movie by Adam McKay. And we have an Olympian to watch; we’re all big fans of Jonny Gustafson now. All in on the men’s luge in the Olympics!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If we started from scratch, what would genuinely free business and living environments look like?</p>
<p>At Próspera, they’re doing their best to find out.</p>
<p>Joel Bomgar (President) joins the program to promote Próspera: a new, private special economic zone taking shape on the island of Roatan in Honduras – and it’s arguably the most libertarian business and living environment in the world.</p>
<p>They’ve taken the lessons and best practices from other special economic zones and created something new under the sun:</p>
<p>* A business environment with the flexibility to lower costs, spur innovation and speed time to market by eliminating layers of regulation and cronyism. Próspera can create its own regulatory and tax structures; businesses can “import” their preferred regulatory frameworks from scores of countries, or propose entirely new structures.</p>
<p>* A community of residents, e-residents and workers with some of the strongest human rights and legal protections in the world. (Residents have a literal legal contract with the government, their rights fully enforceable.)</p>
<p>* A framework for governance as a service applicable to any nation that wants to jump-start investment and give citizens a faster track to prosperity.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 236 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, Zach Burcham, Mason Rottinghaus, and Jeff Watterson are in the studio. Greensburg is trying to pay people to move there. In fact, Muncie, Bloomington, West Lafayette, and many more are trying to get you to move there!</p>
<p>Jeff just completed the Tuscobia Winter Ultra in Wisconsin. An 80 mile winter run across a frozen lake, and a snowmobile trail. It’s not just about competing, it’s a matter of survival in below freezing temperatures. Less than half of the competitors finished the race, and Jeff was third overall! Buckle in, and listen to the story. You might be cold just listening to it.</p>

<p>Being physically fit has been and will continue to be one of the most surefire ways to avoid serious consequences of COVID.</p>
<p>This seems like common sense, yet today’s guest (Marc Lobliner) points out how many in our bureaucratic health institutions argue that the mRNA vaccines are the only means of true protection against the virus.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This THROWBACK episode brings us to February 2020, where I sat down with then-candidate Jacob Hornberger to discuss his seeking the Libertarian Party nomination, plus what he considers to be effective liberty-based messaging coming from the top of the ticket.</p>
<p>Original Show Notes:</p>
<p>Episode 100 is here! Not only do we have a new intro song to debut, but we’re also joined by and incredible guest! Today, I am joined by Libertarian Party presidential nominee/Mises Caucus endorsed candidate… the great Jacob Hornberger! Jacob joins the show to outlines how he would carry the libertarian message forward in the general election and why he would be the best choice to be that messenger.</p>
<p>And as an aside… thank you to each of you amazing members of the audience. Without your love, support, and encouragement, Episode 100 would never have happened. Here’s to the next 100 episodes of educating, enlightening, and informing!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pratik Chougule believes we need to be realistic vs. idealistic when talking about foreign policy. This THROWBACK episode brings us to a world where the United States and Iran were facing growing tensions and some in the neocon world to start beating the war drums.</p>
<p>Original Show Notes:</p>
<p>With commentators proclaiming that World War III is just around the corner due to increasing tensions between the United States and Iran, the United States’ foreign policy is at the forefront of the national conversation. With conservative pundits like Ben Shapiro singing the praises of President Trump’s more hawkish approach to the increasing tensions with Iran (which Shapiro has seemingly toned down in recent days), I thought it would be a great opportunity to have a former self-described “neocon” who ended up becoming a “foreign policy realist” on the show to discuss their own personal growth and change of mindset.</p>
<p>Joining the show is Pratik Chougule. Chougule is a researcher at Boston College’s Center for International Higher Education, where he is writing a book about American universities in the greater Middle East. He was previously an executive editor at The American Conservative and managing editor at The National Interest. During the 2016 election cycle, Chougule served as policy coordinator on the presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. From 2008-2009, Chougule was a George W. Bush appointee at the State Department in the Office of the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security. Chougule graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Brown University and holds a JD from Yale Law School.</p>
<p>Listen as Chougule discusses his take on foreign policy, his critiques of the traditional neocon/hawkish foreign policy, the rising tensions of Iran, and finally his perspective of where the world stands after the 2020 election with regards to foreign relations and policy.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Eric Larson has seen some of the worst of the pandemic over the nearly 2 years that have passed since mass hysteria hit the world in early-2020.</p>
<p>But with the new Omicron variant sweeping the globe (and seemingly pushing the dreaded Delta variant to the side), could this be a light at the end of the tunnel?</p>
<p>Is this thing actually coming to an end?</p>
<p>Dr. Larson gives his take, plus takes on the arrogance of Dr. Fauci and the insanity of vaccine mandates in light of Omicron.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On this THROWBACK episode, I’m joined by good friend, Elain Joan! Listen as we outline timeless truths in the worlds of sales, politics, and campaigning.</p>
<p>ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:</p>
<p>It’s hard to imagine, but we’re just 10 months or so away from the 2020 election. Wild, isn’t it? With the Democratic Debates seemingly taking the national conversation towards the brink of outright socialism, and Trump deciding whether or not to start World War III (I’m kidding of course… right?), it seems that most Americans are searching for a candidate that they can support that, well, isn’t as crazy as everyone else.</p>
<p>It’s why candidates like Mike Bloomberg have essentially decided to spend a substantial fortune on trying to win the presidency, and why the Libertarian Party has an absolutely epic opportunity to win over some hearts and minds by being the adult in the room.</p>
<p>But the real question for the Libertarian Party is, well, will the be the adults in the room?</p>
<p>That’s why I’m joined today by Elaine Joan, who is an independent campaign consultant and widely known political commentator, “Libertarian Redhead”, who helps me break down some of the problems in Libertarian candidacies past, how Libertarian campaigns can catch on in the future, and which candidates seeking the Libertarian Party nomination can lead the LP to the most success in 2020</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On this THROWBACK episode, I play Nostradamus and outline how, in January 2020, how important it would be for us to focus on taking on those sometimes difficult and, dare I say it, <em>impossible </em>conversations.</p>
<p>ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:</p>
<p>2020 will certainly present its share of challenges. Among them being that of having tough discussions with our friends, family, coworkers, etc… on issues that are politically and emotionally charged.</p>
<p>To start off the year, I wanted to take a second and go solo to discuss a phenomenal book I’ve been reading, “How to Have Impossible Conversation: A Very Practical Guide” by Peter Boghossian, where Boghossian outlines strategies to bring people who disagree into useful, productive engagement with one another.</p>
<p>Discussed today are some tools I’ve used (unintentionally, at that!) from the book, and some real-life examples of me using them both in my personal life and on the show with folks who have vastly disagreements with your favorite host.</p>
<p>And finally, as I mentioned at the close of the show, if you’re interested in sharing your story of utilizing some of these techniques yourself, email me at <a href="mailto:brian@briannicholsshow.com">brian@briannicholsshow.com</a> or tag me on social media (@BNicholsLiberty both on Twitter and on Facebook).</p>
<p>My conversation with Keith Rubino from March 2019: <a href="https://briannichols.fireside.fm/ask-a-democratic-socialist-with-keith-rubino">https://briannichols.fireside.fm/ask-a-democratic-socialist-with-keith-rubino</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Throughout the pandemic that has raged over the past two years, the press and public have leaned heavily on experts on navigating our way through uncertainty. The most prominent member of this class of public health experts is Dr. Anthony Fauci who is essentially the face of the pandemic response and sets policy used by most state, county, and local public health officials. Unfortunately, through a number of missteps and poor communication techniques, the trust in Dr. Fauci and public health in general have suffered tremendously this year.</p>
<p><strong>How Mistrust Develops</strong></p>
<p>Dr. Pomerantz points out that the loss of trust in public authorities is multifactorial and influenced by things like over reassuring the public, panicking and overreacting, flubbing the rationale for lockdowns, abandoning the flatten the curve plan, and insisting that public health be in charge of many aspects of the pandemic response. All of these points were areas where the public health authorities made mistakes leading to a continued erosion of trust in their abilities, motivations, and perception of expertise.</p>
<p><strong>Can We Rebuild Lost Trust in Public Institutions?</strong></p>
<p>Losing trust in public health, or the health system in general, is not one that should be viewed lightly. It can have profound long lasting effects. This is exhibited by the research from Dr. Sara Lowes (<a href="http://www.theparadocs.com/120">from episode 120</a>) where she found distrust towards modern medicine generations after unconsented medical experimentation in parts of previous colonial France (Congo). What is amazing is the passing down of distrust towards medical authorities for years despite obvious advances in medicine and ethics.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, for trust to be rebuilt there must be a tremendous effort put in by public health authorities. This begins with a big mea culpa for all their mistakes in messaging and getting things wrong (like mask flip flops, vaccines stopping transmission, etc.) and also the endless shaming and ‘othering’ of those who run contrary to their edicts. The most critical aspect of all of this is to bring back the part of the public that has been pushed out of the group by showing empathy. Unless that is done – and soon – we risk delegitimizing public health for generations.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On this THROWBACK episode, I’m joined by Congressman Thomas Massie!</p>
<p>Listen as we go back to November of 2019, where Trump was facing impeachment (the first time) and the Deep State establishment had just snuck through an extension of the Patriot Act into a continuing resolution passed through Congress right at the end of the year.</p>
<p>Original Show Notes:</p>
<p>At The Brian Nichols Show, my goal is to leave my audience educated, enlightened, and informed. For today’s episode, I feel confident that each of you will finish the show feeling that all three of those boxes were checked, as I am joined by the one and only, Congressman Thomas Massie!</p>
<p>Listen as Congressman Massie joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss his entry into the liberty movement/politics, the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, and the sneaky manner in which the establishment snuck in an extension of the Patriot Act into the most recent continuing resolution passed through Congress.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On this THROWBACK episode, I’m joined once again by economist Max Gulker!</p>
<p>Listen as we go back to the end of 2019 (right when the Democratic primaries were kicking off) when Andrew Yand was mixing things up in the Democratic primaries, where we discussed Yang’s economic policies, namely, his universal basic income proposal to give every American $1,000 a month.</p>
<p>Original Show Notes:</p>
<p>Andrew Yang is easily one of the most interesting candidates running for the Democratic Party nomination. His economic ideas have captivated his supporters, the “Yang Gang”, leaving a nice portion of Americans arguing it’s #TimeForYang.</p>
<p>Today, I have Max Gulker from the American Institute for Economic Research return to the show to offer his expert analysis of Andrew Yang’s economic policies, namely, his universal basic income proposal to give every American $1,000 a month.</p>

<p>Listen as we go back to the end of 2019 (right when the Democratic primaries were kicking off) when Elizabeth Warren was one of the leading voices on the Democratic stage, where we discussed Warren’s tax plans, anti-billionaire rhetoric, wealth tax, and plan to rule the American economy through the force of government regulatory agencies.</p>
<p>Original Show Notes:</p>
<p>If you have friends who are Elizabeth Warren fans, then this most definitely is the episode you should send their way, as today I am joined once again by Max Gulker from the American Institute for Economic Research!</p>
<p>Max joins the show to help me break down Elizabeth Warrens tax plans (one of her many plans), her anti-billionaire rhetoric, he proposed wealth tax, and outline her plan to rule the American economy through the force of government regulatory agencies.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This THROWBACK episode features Michael Torres discussing how school choice can help parents get the quality education their children deserve.</p>
<p>ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:</p>
<p>Our old, exclusionary, geographically-based education system is not educating children the way it promises to. Parents have been fighting for the ability to get their kids into schools that don’t constantly fail them decade after decade, only to be denied by the public education establishment, and the various policies promoted by the school choice movement give parents autonomy over their children’s education.</p>
<p>Joining The Brian Nichols Show today is Michael Torres from the Commonwealth Foundation. Michael is the Senior Communications Office over at the Commonwealth Foundation and joins the show to help dispel some myths regarding school choice and to speak to the value that school choice has in helping further our youths’ education.</p>

<p>Wait, you disagree?</p>

As a matter of fact, it takes millions of people, all with specialized skills – and what’s more, there are no central planners or people managing the process. So how do they do it?</p>
<p>That’s the premise of the new children’s book, “Nobody Knows How to Make a Pizza” by Julie Borowski! Listen as Julie joins the show to discuss her book to the liberty-loving audience of The Brian Nichols Show!</p>

<p>This book will make a great gift to any politico in your life!</p>
<p>ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:</p>
<p>Two men separated by time embark on parallel paths to succeed in the blood sport that is professional politics. In the aftermath of the 2016 election, a young political operative named Art Brown finds himself about to sit at the right hand of power in Washington D.C only to end up falling out of the insider-circles he spent years trying to find acceptance in.</p>
<p>The other man would start his political path as one of the most progressive statesmen in the south, only to evolve into the villain of the civil rights movement- George C. Wallace.</p>
<p>Filled with political intrigue and suspense that spans among generations, along with that classic gonzo humor Remso W. Martinez has become known for, “How to Succeed in Politics (and Other Forms of Devil Worship)” is a dark comedy that will force you to ask whether success at all costs is worth losing your humanity in the process.</p>
<p>Today’s episode features all that and more, as we are once again joined by Remso to discuss his newest book, “How to Succeed in Politics (and Other Forms of Devil Worship)”!</p>

<p>Indiana taxpayers are getting $125 back in a few months. Does it feel like anything, when we were getting $2400 chunks in 2020? The Biden administration is struggling in the polls. The 2 trillion dollar “Build Back Better” plan has stalled. Student loan forgiveness has not happened; payments are set to resume in February.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>DonorSee is a New Innovative Way to Run a Charity with Gret Glyer</p>
<p>When Gret Glyer decided to search for meaning in his life after a short stint in corporate America by flying on a whim to Malawi, he never expected that in less than ten years he would create and run a multi-million dollar global charity. In his search for a fulfilling life, Gret found much more – an innovative way to raise money for those in need.</p>
<p><strong>Using Video to Fundraise</strong></p>
<p>Soon after arriving in Malawi – one of the poorest countries on Earth – Gret recognized the tremendous material needs for so many and he sought to find ways to help. He began by blogging and asking for help but found that it didn’t resonate the way he had hoped. So on a whim, he figured he would harness the power of video and document those in need and then follow up after people had provided the financial support. He was struck by how capturing the need and success in video brought people the personal connection they rarely got with traditional charitable organizations was so powerful.</p>
<p>Later, he harnessed the powerful draw of video to launch an incredibly ambitious project to build a self-sustaining all girls high school – in 12 weeks.</p>
<p><strong>Building a School</strong></p>
<p>Prior to crowdfunding for the school, all of the projects Gret had done were small in their scope. He had never embarked upon a project this ambitious He would need to raise a little over $100,000 in just twelve weeks in order for the school to open in time for school that year. Perhaps the most critical steps of this project were that there was overwhelming support for the creation of the school within the village and he had a local partner who had a plan. Her plan was not just to build a school but how to fund it, staff it, and educate girls in a self-sustaining manner throughout the years.</p>
<p>So he then embarked on a fund raising plan to document by video weekly laying out the vision and then the construction of the school as they raised the money. Through this concept Gret pulled all the donors along the way to show exactly where their money went and the progress it made. Amazingly, his efforts raised the necessary capital to complete the school and it opened that fall in 2016. To this day, the Sunshine Academy is doing great graduating girls in a country where girls almost never receive secondary education.</p>
<p>DonorSee is Born</p>
<p>With this proof of concept, Gret launched DonorSee a few weeks later where people anywhere in the world can donate directly to a project and then receive a video update afterwards where they are usually personally thanked by the receiver of the funds. Projects range from buying a goat, paying for simple medical expenses, building homes, and paying for education. You can either pick out individual projects or donate monthly to random projects. No matter how you choose to contribute, you receive video feedback of the impact of your donations.</p>
<p>Relief Vs. Development</p>
<p>An important aspect to charity is being mindful of the impact that the donations have. We must be careful to separate relief from development. Sometimes, an individual just needs relief like after a natural disaster or medical emergency. But we must be careful to not provide services and goods that result in preventing the local economy from developing properly. That is why it is so important to have people on the ground with local knowledge to vet projects and makes sure the relief allows for human flourishing and not dependence.</p>
<p>To that end, Gret and his partners in Malawi <a href="http://www.donorsee.com/stem">started a very ambitious project to build a self sustaining STEM school</a> to train the next generation of scientists, doctors, and technicians to help move Malawi into the 21st century and serve as a bright example for other African countries.</p>

<p>When you run a business, one person you usually meet and hire is a health insurance broker. In theory, these brokers work with employers to secure the best deals for health insurance to meet the company’s health care objectives. However, in practice, the brokers serve as a sales force for the insurance companies who lavish them with bonuses, trips, and gifts. The seedy underbelly of the health insurance broker industry is that they are really not working to save money or get deals for their clients – the checks are written by the insurance carriers and that’s who they answer to.</p>

<p>(ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES FROM SEPTEMBER, 2019)</p>
<p>Have you been finding yourself questioning the narratives being promoted by those taking part in the Global Climate Strike?</p>

<p>Well, look no further than today’s episode, as I am joined by former Trump EPA transition team member and founder of JunkScience.com, Steve Milloy!</p>
<p>Listen as Steve and I discuss climate change, popular narratives surrounding climate change, the Global Climate Strike, Greta Thunberg, and the hidden agenda of the Green New Deal.</p>
<p>Bio: Steve Milloy is a recognized leader in the fight against junk science with more than 20 years of experience, and is credited with popularizing the term “junk science.” He is the founder and publisher of JunkScience.com, and an environmental and public health consultant.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 232 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, and Zach Burcham are your all too familiar voices.</p>
<p>We talk with Mary Hobbs, who started Beehive Body Company. A local small business that has grown fast, and has made a mark during the pandemic. We talk supply chain, sourcing goat milk, oiling Dakota’s beard, and that there is no shame in drinking a beer and taking a bath with a bath bomb.</p>
<p>Zach has a motorsports update, and we take stock in getting old…Our network patriarch just got married, and his new bride doesn’t know Steve Martin, Chris Farley, or John Candy. We can’t make sense of it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vaccine mandates, mask mandates, boosters, and variants have been a constant source of debate and controversy with the pandemic. My guest today is Dr. Monica Gandhi, an expert in immunology and infectious disease who runs the HIV clinic at UCSF. She has been a fairly prominent voice in support of the mask and vaccine mandates in her home state of California and city of San Francisco. She returns from her visit in June <a href="http://www.theparadocs.com/132">where we discussed the delta variant</a> for SARS-CoV-2 in which she guessed that it wouldn’t evade the vaccine or prior infection (spoiler alert: she was right).</p>
<p><strong>Do Vaccine Mandates Make Sense?</strong></p>
<p>Dr. Gandhi is the first to point out how she has been very supportive of mandating vaccines in the general population and specifically for health care workers. She has written extensively in many local and national outlets about the case for vaccines to reduce transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and hospitalizations. However, she has begun to rethink her support for these draconian measures because of a number of reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>It can cause a problem with mental health in those who are restricted from interacting normally with society.</li>
<li>It erodes the public trust in public health officials and well established measures.</li>
<li>Even when vaccinated and boosted, those individuals can still become infected and infect others limiting its value as a way to stop transmission in its tracks.</li>
<li>The political payback for politicians who support these measures may be significant at the ballot box.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Are there Good Therapeutics Coming Out?</strong></p>
<p>One of the more exciting developments out of the pandemic is the emergence of designer drugs for this coronavirus. The newest therapeutic drugs are protease inhibitors which can be developed with a specific virus in mind. These drugs work by blocking the ability of the virus to successfully hijack your cell’s ribosomes to create more viruses. Molnupiravir has been approved by the FDA but hasn’t been shown to be all that effective because it was not designed with this specific virus. However, the new drug Paxlovid has show extremely high efficacy approaching levels seen with the vaccine around 90%. The advantage of these drugs is obviously that as soon as you show signs of symptoms it can arrest the extent of the infection and prevent hospitalizations and worse outcomes.</p>
<p>Is Omicron Worth Worrying About?</p>
<p>Finally, the question of whether the new SARS-CoV-2 variant, Omicron, is one that should concern us was posed to Dr. Gandhi. Much like the Delta variant, she is very confident that those who have gotten an adequate immune response from vaccination or prior native infection should be well protected from serious harm. Additionally, reports out of South Africa and elsewhere have seemed to show that this variant causes a much more benign infection. She believes it is possible that this variant – if it is truly more infectious but benign – might be the world’s ticket out of this awful pandemic.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is Shane Hazel playing spoiler in Georgia in running as a Libertarian? Or are the Republicans just running terrible candidates that aren’t focusing on the issues their voters care about, so they’re looking elsewhere?</p>
<p>One Georgian GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene seems to think it’s the latter, which is why she shot out a <a href="https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1467852052571332617?s=20">tweet thread</a> raising the alarm on the rise of one Shane Hazel.</p>
<p>So, naturally, I asked Shane to return to the program to address those questions head-on, in another fun-filled episode of The Brian Nichols Show!</p>
<p>Shane Hazel: “…let’s just say for the sake of argument, I did cost the Republicans the [Georgia Senate] election, man, you better, as Republicans, you have to be extremely thankful look at what’s going on in DC right now.</p>
<p>With the ridiculous amounts of spending with the authoritarian overreach with you know, what was for Pelosi up there with the National Guard guarding Congress. Like, when when you see all of this and you go, man, the Republicans aren’t in control right now. They are not in control in the Senate. They’re not in control in the House. They’re not in control the White House.</p>
<p>Well, you’re welcome.</p>
<p>You’re welcome.</p>
<p>If I if I’m to blame for that you get as Republicans, you get to blame all of this on Democrats.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ThoughtWorld is a new social media site that aims to provide better market research and polling data than what the country has been accustomed to by crowd sourcing opinions from people like you and me while removing the censors. CEO Robert Ming is a former mayor of an Orange County, CA town that understands the need for policy makers to have accurate insights into the thinking of constituents, and sites like Twitter or Facebook don’t provide that. Robert and the company’s Chief Customer Officer, Lessie Russel, join me to discuss their site and its uses. Join now at <a href="https://thoughtworld.com/">https://thoughtworld.com/</a>.</p>
<p><strong>About ThoughtWorld</strong></p>
<p>ThoughtWorld is not just another social media platform, it’s the bridge to bring people together.</p>
<p>Civil society is on a dangerous road. The idea that people of differing views can collaborate together, have an honest debate with civility and mutual respect, and then reach a compromise that lets people move forward seems like a fairy tale. Instead, people believe conspiracy theories, fake news, hide their ulterior motives, go along with group think, and act out of fear. Frustration and misunderstanding leads to violence. The cycle needs to end.</p>
<p>ThoughtWorld is built to encourage people to think, find compromises, collaborate with others, and be unafraid to pose new ideas, even bad ones. Without freedom to think, we will never be able to find the compromises that will begin to bridge the great divide that has formed in our public debate.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Art Sobczak: “The only way to cut through the clutter is to have a message that is going to resonate with the prospect and what’s going on in their world, right at that very moment.”</p>
<p>If you want to have more opportunities to sell your solution, service, or idea, it starts with being <strong>smart </strong>and focusing on <em>who </em>you’re selling to versus <em>what </em>it is that you’re selling!</p>
<p>Art Sobczak is a renowned sales legend, author of “Smart Calling: Eliminate the Fear, Failure, and Rejection from Cold Calling”, and host of The Art of Sales Podcast and joins the program to show us how talking about the issues <strong><em>we </em></strong>care about is far less effective than talking about the issues our <strong><em>prospect </em></strong>cares about.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How does someone find themselves drifting away from leftism, and instead towards libertarianism?</p>
<p>That’s the theme of today’s THROWBACK episode, where I was joined by the ever-amazing Steffi (Cole) Petersen!</p>
<p>Original Show Notes:</p>
<p>I dare say that most of us know folks within the libertarian movement who came from the more conservative side of things, heck, with yours truly being one of them. But those who ventured to libertarianism from the left are much fewer in our ranks, despite them sharing our many of our values.</p>
<p>Today’s guest is one of those unicorns who went from leftist to libertarian, and I wanted to have her on my show to discuss her conversion as she started going down the libertarian rabbit hole; the one and only Steffi Cole.</p>
<p>Listen as Seffi talks about her path to libertarianism from the left, her involvement in libertarian politics and political campaigns (like Austin Petersen’s US Senate campaign), and more!</p>
<p>Bio: Steffi was born and raised in Michigan and “has been a passionate, hardworking nerd ever since she was little”. After learning about economics and watching lots of videos about government in 2009, she found herself in the Tea Party movement. She became a huge fan of Ron Paul during his 2012 Presidential campaign. In 2017-2018, she volunteered doing social media, graphic design, and volunteer training for the Austin Petersen for US Senate campaign. She is currently a YouTuber, Brand Ambassador for 1776 United, and liberty promoter for products, people, and ideas. She is on a journey to learn as much as she can about history, government, and the Constitution!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What happens when you take Go Fund Me and put it into an ecosystem of likeminded folks who want to build a community to care for each other’s health care expenses? You get <a href="http://joincrowdhealth.com">Crowd Health</a> which draws upon some of the concepts of crowd funding for one time health care expenses within its community. By taking people from all over the country and putting them into a community where there are expectations of caring for others, Crowd Health offers a solution to paying for health care expenses without breaking the bank.</p>
<p><strong>Is Crowd Health Insurance?</strong></p>
<p>If you’ve been paying attention to the US health care space for the last, well, forever, then you know that it is expensive and keeps getting more so. People stay at jobs they don’t like just to keep their health care coverage which is often not very good anyway. However, for those who are self employed or with a very small business, it seems their only option is to go out onto the open ACA exchange and grab a lousy and expensive plan that hardly covers anything.</p>
<p>Crowd Health offers an alternative to paying for health insurance. Although it definitely isn’t insurance since you are asked to pay into your own bank account each month to be prepared to pay others’ health expenses. There is also no guarantee that your expenses will be paid as you often have with a traditional insurance policy. However, oftentimes even with traditional insurance you don’t get everything covered and have to cover up to the deductible and everything over until you hit your out of pocket maximum. And that’s before considering the inflated prices paid by insurance companies.</p>
<p><strong>Is Crowd Health a Health Sharing Ministry?</strong></p>
<p>The answer to this question is more complicated. In short, yes and no. We discussed sharing ministries in <a href="http://theparadocs.com/083">my previous ventures with Samaritans</a> and an episode with <a href="http://theparadocs.com/048">Liberty Health Share</a>. Basically, in a sharing ministry you send your monthly ‘premium’ to someone in the community. If you have a health expense, you submit a claim after you pay the bill and people will then mail you checks to cover the expense. The down side of this process is that the delay to getting paid can be fairly long (months) meaning you will have to have the funds to cover the bill that might be fairly large. And people don’t often have that much money sitting around in the bank.</p>
<p>How Does Crowd Health Work?</p>
<p>CEO Andy Schoonover describes the fairly simple mechanics of Crowd Health. You take a group of like minded people who want an alternative to the traditional way of paying for health care. Then you have them commit to contribute a small amount to run the overhead of the community which helps pay for the technology and people tasked with negotiating with local hospitals, etc. and assisting patients with their navigation through the health care space. Community members pay the first $500 of a health care event and then request the community fund the remaining amount. Each community member then has the option of helping out or not. Each member carries a social credit score determined by how often they ‘help’, ask for help, or shop around for less expensive health care options.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stop talking about what you care about.</p>
<p>And if someone told you that that’s not a good idea…?</p>
<p>Then who are you taking advice from?</p>
<p>I go solo on today’s episode, as I address the most recent squabbles taking place in the Liberty Movement, this time focusing on messaging and solutions in regards to homelessness and sex work.</p>
<p>Why are we having this debate right now when the topic of conversation should be centered around the skyrocketing inflation, economic uncertainty, and the government response to the new variant? Great question… and I address on today’s episode.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The COVID Drawdown</p>
<p>Today we are going to discuss the COVID drawdown. Essentially, this is what must inevitably happen for us to return to lives of normalcy where we have typical interactions with others at family gatherings, sporting events, concerts, and business meetings. Unless we are prepared to radically change the way we live our lives and choose isolation (which probably has far greater physical and mental health detriments) then we have to consider how the drawdown occurs and what conditions ned to be present for it to happen.</p>
<p><strong>What HaS TO HAPPEN FOR THE DRAWDOWN TO OCCUR?</strong></p>
<p>We’ve talked to numerous experts who all have various opinions on how the pandemic will play out and what strategies will be needed to get to the ‘other side’ of the pandemic. You can find the initial conversation with <a href="http://theparadocs.com/143">Dr. Graham</a>, immunology with <a href="http://theparadocs.com/132">Dr. Gandhi</a>, and science ethics with <a href="http://theparadocs.com/134">Dr. Bhattacharya</a> on the episode list at the end of this writeup. The following is a short list of what conditions need to be present to return to normal:</p>
<ol>
<li>Broad acceptance of the fact that the virus, SARS-CoV-2 which causes COVID-19, will become endemic.</li>
<li>Recognition that the endemic virus cannot become eradicated and will absolutely infect everyone – probably multiple times.</li>
<li>Understand that vaccination including booster shots will not significantly stop transmission of the virus but only provide protection from serious illness.</li>
<li>Sterilizing immunity (protection from infection) for SARS-CoV-2 will be temporary whether one has had vaccination or prior natural infection.</li>
<li>Accept that no measures to stop transmission outside of severely draconian restrictions on movement and social interaction have middling effects on the spread of the virus.</li>
<li>We will have to be comfortable with no longer ‘looking’ for the virus with every respiratory illness and only test those whom we feel are at high risk or can use novel therapeutics.</li>
<li>Public health officials, politicians, and policy makers have to accept that there is very little that can be done to ‘contain’ the virus.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>What the Drawdown Will Look Like</strong></p>
<p>The drawdown will look different depending on what part of life you are looking.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Schools: </strong> Most schools will continue their current policies through the end of this school year. Next year, most school systems will have returned to pre-pandemic policies of no temperature checks, mask wearing, etc. Only the most heavily unionized schools or urban will mandate extreme measures like vaccinations. This will become even harder to enforce as the majority of the country has returned to normal and we see a striking similarity of outcomes between the two ways of schooling.</li>
<li>
<strong>Universities: </strong>Already there are differing policies in place between schools and the lack of differences with outcomes will move nearly all universities to eliminate all restrictions next school year.</li>
<li>
<strong>Mask Mandates:</strong> These will disappear completely by next year in almost the entire country. The political cost for maintaining these measures will be increasingly steep and politicians will declare victory over the virus and insist that their earlier measures did their job to save lives but are no longer needed.</li>
<li>
<strong>Vaccine Mandates:</strong> Despite attempting to impose these mandates through federal fiat on transportation and for air travel – these will disappear as more and more states reject their use.</li>
<li>Hospitals: Health care facilities will still likely be burdened with extraordinary personal protection measures like masking at all times throughout all of next year. The federal government controls this regulation and unless there is extraordinary political pressure these will continue. Perhaps the loss of workers in health care will encourage the removal of this rule but that will take longer than this year.</li>
</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Marc Clair: “I think that, in many ways, <strong><em>politics was like still like a hobby</em></strong>. To me, it was just a fun thing to talk about. Now, I can go to Libertarian Party conventions and hang out with like-minded people, and we can go party afterwards to hang out on Bourbon Street, we can make jokes about Mises and Rothbard. And we all get it and it’s not weird. It’s fun people you can get along with.</p>
<p>And that’s kind of like how I took it… and the candidates who run in the LP… we know they’re not going to win. And they know, they come on my show, and I invite them on, they tell me, they’re not going to win. And we all agree they’re not going to win. And it’s all fun, it’s all well and good.</p>
<p>But now, after the last year, <strong>this isn’t a game anymore.</strong> This is actually affecting everybody’s life now. No one can really say they’re not affected by this stuff at this point.”</p>
<p>Marc Clair from the amazing Lions of Liberty returns to the program discuss his focus on personal development, time spent in politics, and addressing the fact that politics aren’t a game anymore.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a whirlwind of a week, I’m finally getting back into the swing of things… so, today will feature one of our “THROWBACK” episodes, and then getting back into the swing of things before Thanksgiving with two AMAZING conversations dropping…</p>
<p>One with good friend and leader of the fearless crew at the Lions of Liberty, Marc Clair, talking about his journey away from the world of politics and instead towards personal development.</p>
<p>The other is with Justin Goodman from the White Coat Waste Project who digs into the Fauci #BeagleGate insanity, the insane places your tax dollars go (like animal testing!), and the true origins of COVID-19 (hint, it’s not a bat).</p>
<p>Today, we’re swinging back to August of 2019 with Aaron Hamlin from The Center For Election Science, who shows us how changing the way we vote can help us fix our broken voting system!</p>
<p>Original Show Notes:</p>
<p>“My vote just doesn’t matter…” Have you heard this before? Or perhaps have you caught yourself saying that exact same phrase? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. </p>
<p>As a matter of fact, I’ve said as much myself. With the “choose-one” voting system, many voters feel that their votes simply don’t matter in today’s electoral system. That’s where today’s guest, Aaron Hamlin, and the organization he co-founded, “The Center for Election Science”, comes into play.</p>
<p>See, Aaron and his team have been on a mission to help change the way that American voters look at the electoral system by helping promote and institute alternative voting methods, like that of the “approval voting”, can help third-party and independent candidates gain momentum, eliminate the “spoiler effect”, and actually win elections!</p>
<p>Listen to learn how The Center for Election Science has been promoting approval voting, some wins they’ve tallied up, and the future prospects of changing our outdated voting system!</p>
<p>Aaron’s Bio: Aaron Hamlin is the executive director and co-founder of The Center for Election Science.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A special Throwback episode featuring good friend of the show, Caleb Shumate!</p>
<p>With the Kyle Rittenhouse trial coming out on the side of self-defense, our throwback episode digs into why the ability to defend oneself is a human right, particularly for those who don’t have the physical ability to do so without the help of a firearm,</p>
<p>Original show notes from July 2019:</p>
<p>Man, I sure missed you all last week while I was on vacation! But thankfully, we’re back on track with our regularly scheduled programming, as this week I am joined by Caleb Shumate!</p>
<p>Caleb is a passionate advocate for liberty and storyteller with a deep appreciation of history. Today he joins the show to discuss one of his more recent articles over at The Libertarian Republic- “Colt Made Me Equal”: A Disabled Libertarian’s Case For Gun Ownership.</p>
<p>Listen as Caleb explains the importance of gun ownership, especially for those individuals who may be at a physical disadvantage when compared to those who might seek to cause them harm. We also touch on Caleb’s experience as someone with cerebral palsy and how despite his physical limitations, he has found himself rejecting the concepts of government handouts and has embraced libertarianism and constitutional conservatism.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 230 of Boss Hog of LIberty is out! Jeremiah Morrell, Jesse Riddle, Mark Fultz, Zach Burcham, and surprise guest Councilwoman Betsy Mills are in the studio.</p>
<p>Betsy had a huge night kicking off her campaign for State Representative in Knightstown on Thursday night. Jeremiah thinks he heard a key endorsement during the announcement. We talk about the opportunity for the district 54 race over the next 6-12 months.</p>
<p>Jesse is upset over emotional support pets being treated the same as service animals. Mark has some custom artwork available for Christmas on his etsy page! Jeremiah thinks Thanksgiving is the superior holiday. Are there regional thanksgiving meals that we didn’t know about?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s a one-one-one with you and me for today’s Morning Sales Huddle solo short.</p>
<p>Being bold and principled allows you to control the conversation, but also gives you the opportunity to plant seeds with the right people in your market.</p>
<p>Brian: “Instead of responding to narratives, we have to get better at confidently and articulately setting the narrative and thus setting the conversation. Otherwise, we’re constantly playing catch up and constantly trying to explain ourselves versus being bold and reaching people on the truth versus the bias.” </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stuart (LibertyDownUnder): “I see this over the place… see certain people stopping them [pro-liberty activists) from speaking out. We’ve had police coming to people’s houses door-knocking for memes that they’ve made online.</p>
<p>In Melbourne, we had the police who went to the house of a woman who was pregnant, because she shared one post on Facebook about the protests. People being locked up, a guy who got eight months behind bars, who ran Instagram account that was anti-lockdown. He got eight months behind bars because of it.</p>
<p>When we had the treaty protests, Facebook stopped the live streams. So you couldn’t even do live streams to show what’s happening on the ground. At the same time, the Victorian police got a no-fly order over Melbourne. So the civilian helicopters couldn’t fly over it and get aerial shots of having the protests were. So it’s their collaboration by the media outlets, social media and the police.”</p>
<p>Today, Stuart from LibertyDownUnder joins the program to highlight what is happening in Australia during an era of COVID. We’ve all seen the pictures and videos, but to hear the stories coming from someone on the ground, first-hand is truly eye-opening.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you run a business, one person you usually meet and hire is a health insurance broker. In theory, these brokers work with the employers to secure the best deals for health insurance to meet the company’s health care objectives. However, in practice, the brokers serve as a sales force for the insurance companies who lavish them with bonuses, trips, and gifts. The seedy underbelly of the health insurance broker industry is that they are really not working to save money or get deals for their clients – the checks are written by the insurance carriers and that’s who they answer to.</p>
<p>Who do the brokers work for? You or the Carriers?</p>
<p>I spoke to Katy Talento in <a href="http://theparadocs.com/111">episode 111</a> who runs a business where she unbundles health insurance for employers and helps them run an efficient and less expensive health care plan. One of the problems she saw is that insurance carriers bundle all these services and then charge a very large administrative fee to run the plan. Also, their plans rarely save you money as they build in enough profit to cover the agents who sell those plans – the brokers.</p>
<p>That’s the world that David Contorno is trying to combat with his company at <a href="https://www.epoweredbenefits.com/you-powered-symposium/">ePowered Benefits</a>. The business was founded with the intent of looking at real ways of not just unbundling but finding high quality and inexpensive ways to receive care. As Contorno said, “The only way to pay less for health care is to pay less for health care.”</p>
<p>Health Plans Are Gimmicks</p>
<p>Through his 18 years of experience in the health insurance broker field, David points out that most of the various plans sold by insurance carriers are really just gimmicks that don’t really change the cost of care. Whether it is an HMO, PPO, of some hybrid FFS plan – it ultimately just ends up being the same in failing to control costs. The reason is that the care comes from the same hospitals and with the same contracts no matter how they make the employers and employees pay with copays, deductibles, and coinsurance.</p>
<p>Even HSAs (health savings accounts) which are held up as a way to control costs by putting the patient in charge, rarely bring about the cost control as advertised. This is primarily because even using an HSA and picking where you get your care still is within the framework of hospitals, insurance contracts, and provider networks which all have massively marked up prices. Only by leaving the insurance network entirely can one see real savings.</p>
<p>Why Don’t the Brokers Work for You?</p>
<p>Simply put, the work that health insurance brokers do is to carry water for the insurance carriers. The carriers are the ones who pay their bonuses, provide them with expensive trips to Tahiti, and give them sales targets for selling their plans. The checks aren’t written by employers but by the insurance carriers. So naturally, the brokers respond first and foremost to what the carriers want. This doesn’t make them bad people but understandably their incentives are not aligned with those you’d hope.</p>
<p>The reason most brokers don’t even know they’re working for the wrong people is best summarized by the quote from Upton Sinclair, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it.”</p>
<p>David Contorno is the CEO and founder of ePowered Benefits. David spent 18 years as a traditional broker in health insurance but felt that it could be done in a better way.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eric Brakey from Free America Now returns to the program to discuss the blue-collar departure from the Democratic Party, women having to sign up for the draft(!?), and Young American’s for Liberty signing up 100,000 college liberty activists!</p>
<p>Eric Brakey: “This is a shift that has been taking place slowly over a long period of time, but has really accelerated to the point where you look at the US Senate… I think that Joe Manchin is perhaps one of the most interesting people of the moment because he is the last blue dog Democrat in that entire body…</p>
<p>…He is a conservative Democrat, not as conservative as I’d like, certainly, but he’s been the lone voice there… In 1992, West Virginia, voted for Bill Clinton by 13 percentage points. Fast forward to 2016; they voted against Hillary Clinton and for Donald Trump by 40 percentage points. So we’re talking about literally a shift of over a majority of the voting population there. So it has shifted, hard red. And why is that?”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hawk Jensen is a documentary filmmaker from Hollywood that has partnered with fellow artists to create a new documentary series called “Follow the Science: On Lockdowns and Liberty.” The goal of the SoundMind Creative Group is to establish some cultural literacy and defined terms around the events of the COVID pandemic. What did our society get right these past 19 months and what did our government get wrong, and why is it frowned upon to talk about it? This is an excellent conversation that needs to be had, and memorializing the pandemic from a critical view will be a helpful tool for future generations. They’re fundraising now at <a href="www.followthesciencefilm.com">www.followthesciencefilm.com</a>, so listen in and please consider helping donate towards the project.</p>
<p>Jensen is also the producer of The Witness Project, a short documentary series sponsored by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation that records the experiences of a number of individuals who were – and in some cases still are – victims of persecution by collectivist regimes in the 20th and 21st centuries. </p>
<p>In full disclosure, they are a paying sponsor of the WAL Network, and that is because we believe their project is worth partnering with.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Craig Elias: “There’s push, and there’s pull. And if there is no push, it’s really hard to pull someone enough to have them leave something they’re already generally happy with. And have them know or get to know the devil they didn’t originally know because the argument is; Better the devil I know, than the devil I don’t. And that’s why it’s so hard to move people from one place to another.</p>
<p>Craig Elias is the creator of <a href="https://shiftselling.com/the-book/introduction/">Trigger Event Selling</a><strong> , </strong>and the Chief Catalyst of <em>SHiFT</em> Selling, Inc.</p>
<p>For almost 20 years, Craig used <em>Trigger Event</em> strategies to become a top sales performer at EVERY company that has hired him – including WorldCom where he was named the <strong>#1 salesperson within six months</strong> of joining the company.</p>
<p>Craig’s <em>Trigger Event</em> strategies have:</p>
<ul>
<li>Won him a <strong>$1,000,000 prize</strong> in a global “Billion-Dollar Idea” pitch competition</li>
<li>Earned him coverage on<strong> NBC news</strong>, in<strong> The New York Times</strong>, <strong>The Wall Street Journal</strong>, <strong>Nikkei Marketing Journal</strong>, Business 2.0, The Globe and Mail, The National Post, Sales and Marketing magazine, Venture Magazine, Calgary Inc.</li>
<li>Earned his last company, the distinction as one of “Silicon Valley’s 40 hottest” and <strong>one of Dow Jones 50 most promising companies</strong> in North America</li>
</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The tides are turning…</p>
<p>I can feel it You can feel it. The corporate press can feel it.</p>
<p>Something big is happening. And why?</p>
<p>Because of us. We’re winning the battle for hearts and minds, and it starts with how we’ve been approaching politics.</p>
<p>Instead of arguing. we’re meeting people where they’re at on the issues they care about with real, tangible solutions. So, for today’s episode, I recap all that’s transpired since January here on the program, plus some exciting new changes happening both personally and professionally, and what to expect as we wrap up 2021 and head into 2022.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Original Show Notes from June 2019:</strong></p>
<p>The government stinks. I know it. You know it. We all know it. So, instead of sending your hard earned money to the government every year to do “societal good”, why not send it to nonprofits who actually, ya know, know what they’re doing and do it well? That’s where “We Do Better” comes into play.</p>
<p>We Do Better seeks to promote the freedom and well-being of all Americans by maximizing the quality and accessibility of public services and accountability in their provision. We Do Better is one of the leaders in advocating for charitable credits in cities, counties, states, and nationwide that allow taxpayers to direct a portion of their taxes to organizations that meet human needs in their communities. Listen as Rick Rivkin (part of We Do Better’s national team) joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss how easy it is to become an advocate of We Do Better’s mission.</p>
<p>Later, Rick discusses some of the wins that We Do Better has under their belt, different means of grassroots outreach that We Do Better has taken advantage of, and how easy it is for anyone to have their tax dollars go towards charities they care about rather than go to our inefficient government. Learn More About We Do Better: https://wedobetter.org/</p>

<p>And we talk about Halloween, how everyone celebrates, and when the last time we dressed up for a halloween party.</p>

<p>Henry County had quite the week. The Zoning Administrator position was filled, vacated, board members resigned, and another one was appointed to the position. The County Attorney was arrested for dealing meth, and a local school board meeting made headlines for getting physical. In good news, Jeremiah spotted a refurbished Sinclair Dinosaur in Greensburg, so some happy things are out there!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Learn Libertarianism – <a href="https://libertyexplained.com/%C2%A0">https://libertyexplained.com/ </a></p>
<p>Subscribe to the podcast – <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained">https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained</a></p>
<p>• “Of Two Evils, Choose Neither” Pastor CH Spurgeon</p>
<p>• Isn’t it ironic that both duopoly parties who sell voters a utopia of</p>
<p>perfection, riches, and paradise, still preach that to get there, you must first compromise your morals and accept their largely flawed, or at the minimum highly imperfect candidate.</p>
<p>• Does this sound like the starting point for the world they claim to be able to achieve? If you believe so much of your livelihood is dependent on who the President of the United States is, that inherently means that the Office of the President is MUCH too powerful.</p>
<p>• Unless you believe this is your last ever election on this earth, voting to give the duopoly candidate more power will only leave you with a worse choice 4 years down the line, this is why both parties pitch the line that “This election is too important” to: vote your conscience, express your true voice, reject both parties and stay home, or demand a better choice. So suck it up, hold your breath, vote for their candidate and your life will magically be improved.</p>
<p>• If enough people in any one state vote third-party that that thin Gold line on CNN/Fox/MSNBC says 2%,5%,10%, this wakes up the whole country to the possibility of an alternative and starts a narrative that the duopoly lives in constant fear of, free will and alternatives. Why can’t this be your state, and why can’t you be a part of it? Especially if your state is solidly Red or Blue anyway and your vote will have no impact on the result.</p>
<p>• Change takes courage.</p>
<p>• A vote belongs to you and not another party. If these two parties do not</p>
<p>represent you then an L vote will register as a visible, measurable</p>
<p>protest against them. It says “there’s a market for these ideas.”</p>
<p>• Exit polls are considered the most reliable of all polling. It often shows</p>
<p>that a candidate will pull small amounts evenly from the other two parties, but the vast majority of votes are from independents, first-time voters, or re-activated voters that now see an option on their ballot that represents them.</p>
<p>• The electoral college means your vote is negligible due to gerrymandering. So really, what have you got to lose?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Original Show Notes: Listen as Hillary explains how Chavez and the concepts of socialism took control of Venezuela through the use of divisiveness, cause by building resentment between the differing wage classes. Later, Hillary discusses the deteriorating of the Venezuelan economy caused by the socialist policies of Chavez, the death of Chavez, and the new rule under Maduro. Finally, we conclude by discussing what those in favor of socialism today should learn from the failed socialist policies in Venezuela so that we never fall in the same way as Venezuela has.</p>
<p>Again, I don’t ask this often, but if you could please share today’s episode with your family and friends, especially those in need of hearing the truth as to what socialism has done to Venezuela, that would be absolutely incredible.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Caleb Franz returns to the program with a special solo-short on today’s episode!</p>
<p>Show Notes:</p>
<p>We all know somebody who is in need of guidance, whether that be professional, philosophical, or personal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It’s not natural for us to want to go out of our way, and help shape someone’s life when yours is falling apart or just won’t come together in the first place.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yet this is exactly what we need to do to secure a better future, both for ourselves and as a movement.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Be the mentor that you wish you could have had when you were younger. </p>

<p>Original Show Notes:</p>
<p>Biden’s Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, says it “unquestionable” that federal policies trump state policies, as the White House imposes vaccine mandates on all of America. Brian Nichols joins renegade statesman Eric Brakey to question the “unquestionable.”</p>

<p>• Well let’s define “win”. Win in the sense of receive the most electoral votes in a national Presidential election? No, there is an infinitesimally small chance the Libertarian candidate beats the Republican or Democratic candidate for President. This race is generally viewed as a marketing tool to explain broader libertarian concepts as a result. The best evidence may be the interest of the listener tuning in because it is a Presidential year.</p>
<p>• This being said, the Libertarian Party’s job at a national level as a minority party is to use its support and voice to impact duopoly party policy in a way that expands individual freedoms and limits government interference.</p>
<p>• From this perspective, there are “wins” to be had in working with both parties. On a local level, any candidate can win an election, and given the old adage “all politics is local” it’s crucial to have</p>
<p>• Liberty-minded candidates on a local level to prove our party’s ability to govern.</p>
<p>• There are many Libertarians serving in government in local races. – <a href="https://my.lp.org/elected-officials/">https://my.lp.org/elected-officials/</a></p>
<p>• One other benefit of a third party is the impact of a candidate on the eventual victor. For example, in 2012, when Rupert Boneham ran for Governor of Indiana as Libertarian, one of his platform planks was expanding school choice into vocational training. The eventual victor, Mike Pence, tested the idea, it polled well, and he adopted it and ran campaign commercials on it. As governor, he enacted the policy.</p>
<p>• Do converted Congressmen count as wins? Justin Amash or Laura Ebke? – Any action that expands awareness of the Libertarian movement, and advances our overall goal of Liberty in our Lifetime is a win. Justin & Laura have had an immeasurable positive impact on our party and that goal, and we hope more sitting representatives and Senators, and local government officials, begin to act their conscience and identify with their true ideology in declaring for the Libertarian Party. The more willing to do it, the more publicly acceptable it instantly becomes. Social proof is a powerful concept.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>            </p>
<p>There are a lot of urgent care clinics all over the country. But few of them, to my knowledge, also operate as regular primary care clinics. But that is exactly what is happening today in the Houston, Texas area with the emergence of Next Level Medical. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense to leverage all the facilities needed for a primary care clinic – exam rooms, physicians, etc. and use it to deliver regular and sometimes non-urgent care. We’ve discussed <a href="http://theparadocs.com/035">free standing ERs</a> before that lower the cost of care with transparency so this seems like the next logical step with urgent care. We have also discussed <a href="http://theparadocs.com/069">pediatric urgent care clinics</a> but those never had the component of doubling as primary care.</p>
<p> What is Urgent Care? </p>
<p>Probably the most puzzling questions you can ask even someone who works in health care is: What is the difference between urgent care and emergency care? The answer is that it depends which is why you really need a better triage system that people (patients) can access before then head across town to either the ER or UC clinic. It’s this triage that is probably the most important way to keep ER visit costs low and less frequent. This is one of the services offered by <a href="https://www.nextlevelurgentcare.com/">Next Level Medical</a> to their members.</p>
<p> Why Urgent Care Membership? </p>
<p>At first, it seems strange that one would establish any sort of membership status with an urgent care clinic. But Next Level has made it work by basically selling it as a one stop primary care clinic. Or a primary care clinic on steroids that comes equipped with supplies for taking care of fractures, lacerations, laboratory studies, and imaging. And if you have the same staff working a regular schedule you can get physician continuity for patients making well care a very achievable goal.</p>
<p>Employers like the flexibility as it provides the primary care for their employees with convenience since there are clinics all over town. Additionally, the clinics can care for their employees who might get injured either at home or work. This added benefit means a whole lot less in expensive ER care and probably healthier employees since their primary care is taken care of without all the copays and hidden costs that keep lots of hourly employees from staying on top of their chronic conditions.</p>
<p> Doctors Like the Schedule </p>
<p>Doctors looking to become employed usually have to make a lot of concessions. First in their autonomy and second in the lack of control over their schedule. The amount of work they take home or ‘unpaid’ time can be large at times making a forty hour a week job quickly turn into 50 or 60. This is where Next Level can offer doctors the opportunity to truly do shift work, have a regular patient panel, but not take home their work and let the sophisticated call center triage their patients overnight.</p>

What if Average Joes decided not to go to the Las Vegas Dodgeball Tournament knowing they would face off with the Globogym Purple Cobras? All those moments reflect the portion of the Hero’s Journey where they must leave the place of comfort and familiarity in order to travel to face their challenges or antagonists head-on. Today we’re going to remind each other why the journey, despite fear, heartache, bruises, and challenges, is necessary to build up the hero in us all.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We Need To Talk About The Inconvenient Truth About the Green New Deal.</p>
<p>Original Show Notes From 2018:</p>
<p>Wow! What a year! This will be the final episode of The Brian Nichols Show for 2018! But don’t you worry, I have a special episode in store for you next week from my appearance on a different podcast… a podcast hosted by a dear friend of The Brian Nichols Show.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To wrap up the 2018 season of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by Max Gulker from the American Institute for Economic Research! Max is an economist over AIER and has holds a PhD in economics from Stanford University and a BA in economics from the University of Michigan. Prior to AIER, Max spent time in the private sector, consulting with large technology and financial firms on antitrust and other litigation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Max joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss one of his latest pieces from AIER- “The Inconvenient Truth About the Green New Deal”. With the rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her promoting of the “Green New Deal”, Max took an economist’s look at the topic to see the true economic consequences of passing a “Green New Deal” versus letting the market decide what the best solution would be.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We also take some time to discuss Max’s background, as he came to libertarianism from the left-side of the political isle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With that, I hope you enjoy this week’s episode! It has been an absolute pleasure sharing these 50 episodes with you during 2018. I cannot wait to kick things off strong in 2019! Have a safe and happy holiday with you friends, family, and loved ones.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Max’s Bio: Max Gulker is an economist and writer who joined AIER in 2015. His research often focuses on free markets and technology, including blockchain and cryptocurrencies, the sharing economy, and internet commerce. He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences, especially on blockchain technology. Max’s research and writing also touch on other economic topics, including governance, competition, and small businesses.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Max holds a PhD in economics from Stanford University and a BA in economics from the University of Michigan. Prior to AIER, Max spent time in the private sector, consulting with large technology and financial firms on antitrust and other litigation.</p>

Brad Polumbo returns to the program to address some of the latest hysteria, ranging from the “looming evictions crisis” that wasn’t, plus a look at the increased spending proposals being brought before Congress.</p>

<p>A fun wandering episode. New candidates for a variety of local offices. County Council and Sheriff are going to have all kinds of contested races. Muncie dominates the news. A school board member is arrested, someone got locked in a freezer in a green card marriage that was called off. The Indianapolis airport is expecting a record busy weekend. And a State Senator has recovered from a 10 day stay in the ICU after the virus, and is making headlines with his refusal to support vaccines.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Learn Libertarianism – <a href="https://libertyexplained.com/">https://libertyexplained.com/</a> </p>
<p>Subscribe to the podcast – <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained">https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained</a></p>
<p>• When it comes to the national Presidential debates, they are run by a Bipartisan (again not NON-partisan) Committee on Presidential Debates, formed on the (Bipartisan) National Commission on Elections goal of explicitly “turning over responsibility and sponsorship for the debates to the two major political parties”, again, the duopoly assigns itself control of election “fairness”.</p>
<p>• This was in direct response to the 1980 presidential election where third parties took over 8% of the vote and backfired in 1992 when Ross Perot took almost 20% of the popular vote as an Independent.</p>
<p>• The CPD is the definition of shady politics, as it sells sponsorships to the major corporate interests, signs secret memorandums of understanding with the duopoly candidates, has confirmed they share questions/topics with campaigns in advance, has 6 secretive donors who no American is able to know the identity of, maintains government tax-exempt status while not doing any of the required non-profit work necessary to retain that title, has detained a major party candidate for 8 hours after she attempted to access the debate stage, and has private, unidentified funding for the constant barrage of lawsuits by Americans who want a fair election.</p>
<p>• The best thing to do here is challenging the sponsors, as three major corporate interests ended their sponsorship in 2012 after public pressure due to non-inclusionary tactics preventing third party voices from participating. In 2020, the corporate sponsors include Anheuser-Busch, AARP, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation, The Kovler Fund, The National Governors Association, and Philips.</p>
<p>• The board includes several career government workers, former politicians, corporate and special interest CEOs, former media executives, College Deans & Presidents, and former political party chairs, aka no one with any incentive to ever consider a third-party voice.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Show Notes From Original Episode: On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by Michael T. Hutchins, author of Irreconcilable Politics: Our Rights Under a Just Government. Michael was trained as an economist and has over thirty years of experience in finance. Much of his career was in investment banking at Salomon Brothers and UBS. He is currently the executive vice president at Freddie Mac, responsible for the investments and capital markets division. Hutchins earned his PhD in economics from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.</p>
<p>In Irreconcilable Politics, Michael explores successful models in which differing political views exist yet do not impinge on agreements being reached, and also dissects the dynamics of modern social decision-making.</p>
<p>Listen as we discuss the theory of “collectivity,” needed reform to government structure, and modern social decision-making in the 21st century. Later, we discuss the concepts of voluntary government and the interrelationship between political ideology and centralized governmental decisions.</p>
<p>We conclude by taking a closer look at collective rules, services, and decisions, and why voting, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press are not in and of themselves sufficient control rights for citizens of a diverse country like the United States and discuss how our divided nation struggling to reach political agreement and how the structure of the federal and state governments interfere with this effort.</p>

<p>Subscribe to the podcast – <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained">https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained</a></p>
<p>• The “NAP” or Non-Aggression Principle is the belief that initiating or threatening any forceful interference against an individual, their property, or their right to liberty is morally wrong. While many libertarians vary on their definition or forceful interference, property, when/how to apply the NAP, and proper responses to an aggressor, the movement is largely built on the defining principle, which boils down to “don’t hurt people and don’t take their stuff”. It is in contrast to Pacifism in that it allows a forceful defense.</p>
<p>• Mary Ruwart in her book Healing Our World calls this the Good Neighbor Policy. “Therefore, our program for peace had two parts: 1. honesty, tolerance, and respect towards others and their property (i.e. refraining from threatening first-strike force, theft, or fraud); and 2. repairing any damage we caused by violating the first part. We will refer to this dual approach of honoring our neighbor’s choice and righting our wrongs as the practice of “nonaggression,” the Good Neighbor Policy, or libertarianism.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The late and great Steve Horwitz on the economics of liberty.</p>
<p>Original Show Notes:</p>
<p>Listen as Steve and I discuss a number of economic topics, starting with an in-depth discussion on minimum wage, universal basic income (UBI), automation, and artificial intelligence. Next, we discuss trade in the era of Trump, focusing specifically on the differences between “free-trade” vs “fair-trade” and the dangers of economic nationalism. We conclude today’s episode with a critique of democratic socialism while presenting a realistic libertarian alternative.</p>

<p>A lot has happened since we last met with Dr. Keith Smith from the <a href="http://surgerycenterok.com">Surgery Center of Oklahoma</a> back in 2018. <a href="http://theparadocs.com/012">Back then, we talked about how he brought the radical notion of full price transparency to the surgery space in 2009 all without taking any government payers</a>. We also spoke about how the system was rigged to enrich the hospital systems, insurance carriers, and PBMs (what’s new right?). So what’s happened since then and how has the center done with the pandemic?</p>
<p> Is the Surgery Center of Oklahoma Thriving or Just Surviving? </p>
<p>Not surprisingly, Dr. Smith says that the center is doing just fine and has increased its market share from other states. Additionally, the international community from Canada is now being allowed to come back into the US for their surgeries which are more backed up than ever. His surgery center is a great alternative for an increasingly backlogged health system that is strained under the COVID crush of patients.</p>
<p> Can Other Surgery Centers Dabble in Direct Contracting?</p>
<p>One interesting aspect to Dr. Smith and his crusade for more transparency and market forces within medicine is the development of using clearinghouses for arranging surgery. The clearinghouse is used as a quick means for posting prices anonymously and then linking the agreeable surgery center and potential payers who are either patients or employers.. This is a great way to ease into direct contracting for a lot of surgery centers that are still dealing with commercial and government contracts.</p>
<p> What is the Future for the Free Market Medical Association?</p>
<p>Dr. Smith says the <a href="http://fmma.org">FMMA</a> has grown significantly over the past few years as more and more facilitators, physicians, surgical centers, and administrators gather to learn how to harness the market to increase their book of business. Now that the pandemic has caused a lot of disruption in the market people are really starting to look for fresh solutions to survive and the FMMA feels like it has just what they need. Anyone can sign up and their next conference in in April 2022.</p>
<p> Dr. Keith Smith is the co-founder of the Surgery Center of Oklahoma which has 100% price transparency which opened its doors in 1997. He also founded the Free Market Medical Association which works to promote the free market in all health care transactions.</p>

<p>Henry County went “red” again, causing the cancellation of the Fourth Friday’s event this week. Meanwhile, youth sports are still happening. Concerts are occurring all over the state. We dig into the metrics of a “red” county and if it is a fair representation.</p>
<p>There is a farmer in Texas who is having his hay cut down by the city council for violating their grass ordinance. We have audio of the confrontation at the meeting.</p>
<p>Finally, the State Senate released their proposed maps. Big change for our area. A brand new Senator?</p>

<li>Just start! Most feel they need a master class in political science to work on campaigns. On-the-job training is the most effective way to learn. </li>
<li>Find a candidate that shares your value and contact their campaign to get involved. </li>
<li>Basic volunteering like envelope stuffing, door knocking, yard sign distribution, or phone banking are a good start. </li>
<li>Don’t take on too much. Sometimes a small campaign will ask a new person to be a campaign manager. This can lead to volunteer frustration and you’ll burn out quickly. While campaign work can be uncomfortable or time-consuming, it shouldn’t be frustrating.</li>
<li>Also check out our training podcast called Upward – Libertarian Activism. </li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Jesse Riddle, Mark Fultz, and Zach Burcham are your hosts for episode 222.</p>
<p>New proposed legislative maps are out. Jeremiah attempts to explain why the matter; Jesse objects to any of it. Millennials are about to hit 40…We take stock in where they are in life now, compared to Gen X and Boomers. We have a deep debate over summer, is it over? Or what triggers the end of summer? And Jesse introduces the topic of Havana syndrome, which Jeremiah pretends doesn’t exist…Just like aliens.</p>

<li>Learn Libertarianism – <a href="https://libertyexplained.com/%C2%A0">https://libertyexplained.com/ </a></li>
<li>Subscribe to the podcast – <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained">https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained</a></li>
<li>It is both! Libertarianism focuses on extending personal morality and ethics into societal organization. In other words, we want communities to follow the same rules we were taught as kids: Don’t hit others, don’t take their stuff, and don’t lie or cheat. </li>
<li>Unfortunately, government is organized around the premise that these things are ok if enough people agree. If voters collectively decide to murder or steal from other individuals with 51% of the vote, then they believe the morality changes. Libertarians don’t. </li>
<li>So enacting these values requires a mindset shift. It requires a mental shift for individuals that have lived under a different paradigm their entire lives. </li>
<li>The more one examines their values through this new way of thinking, the more empowering the ideology becomes. As individuals begin to think about taking responsibility for their own lives and communities, they get excited about the opportunities this new path affords. </li>
<li>One small example of this is the shopping cart. After purchasing items at a store, people will head to the their car in the parking lot and unload groceries. Once the cart is empty, a person faces a choice.</li>
<li>They can leave the cart in the middle of the parking spot to inconvenience both the next parker and the employee corralling carts. Or they can put the cart in the corral and maintain order. </li>
<li>Most put their carts away, but some don’t. The market has a fix for these “bad actors.” Most stores employ a coraller. Other stores like Aldis use financial incentives to persuade individuals to act in a responsible manner. </li>
<li>Suppose stores hired an armed security guard to threaten any person not returning the cart. Would this make the relationship between customer and store more or less tense? Would it cost the store business? The answer is yes. </li>
<li>Government operates this way. It rejects the peaceful path used by an Aldi and monopolizes force. In other words, it puts all other stores out of business or takes them over and standardizes the more violent approach. </li>
<li>Libertarianism advocates for the original peaceful path by reminding individuals of their personal responsibilities, their right to be left alone, and providing solutions to handle complex problems. </li>
</ul>

I’ve kept my mouth shut about politics and current events on most episodes but I really have to shed some light on some serious thoughts I’ve had regarding the state of our nation (and the world). Along with that, I’ll explain why I flew home on 9/11, the super-secret clubs at airports for high rollers, and why a TSA agent yelled at me for the third time this year. Enjoy.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Libertarian Party versus the Republican Liberty Caucus…?</p>
<p>No, it’s not a binary decision, but listen we go back in the archives on this THROWBACK episode as RLC executive director Alexander Snitker and I discuss the respective roles of the Libertarian Party and the RLC. We also tackle the question as to which organization is better at advancing liberty, the need for the Libertarian Party to take itself seriously, the issues with current [past] LP leadership, and the vision of the RLC going forward, including their partnering with Young American’s For Liberty’s “Operation Win at the Door” campaign.</p>

<p><strong>What is the single greatest thing about liberty?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>This answer probably varies for every individual, but mine (Chris Spangle) is the beauty of spontaneous order. Order comes from markets adjusting to the needs of individuals as judged by the price system (or what someone will pay for something). This order is displayed by geese flying in a V or people managing a roundabout without incident. </li>
<li>The classic parable of the efficiency of the marketplace is Leonard Reed’s I, Pencil. A pencil is made up of many parts from around the world to solve a simple problem: the need to write things down. No one person invented the pencil. It developed over time with each generation evolving and improving it. </li>
<li>Men and women around the world contribute cedar, lacquer, graphite, ferrule, factice, pumice, wax, and glue. They add the labor necessary to make it work. Numerous people are involved in the process, including people like the sweeper in the factory and the lighthouse keeper guiding the shipment into port. </li>
<li>He writes: </li>
<li>“There is a fact still more astounding: The absence of a master mind, of anyone dictating or forcibly directing these countless actions which bring me into being. No trace of such a person can be found. Instead, we find the invisible hand at work.</li>
<li>The lesson I have to teach is this: Leave all creative energies uninhibited. Merely organize society to act in harmony with this lesson. Let society’s legal apparatus remove all obstacles the best it can. Permit these creative know-hows freely to flow. Have faith that free men and women will respond to the Invisible Hand. This faith will be confirmed.”</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What is the greatest flaw of liberty?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The greatest flaw I have found are two-fold: </li>
<li>It is a pretty big paradigm shift to ask people to trust their fellow man in a market-based system, especially in a low trust society. </li>
<li>Libertarians, like all humans, are imperfect messengers and often fail at communicating the message in a way that helps close that trust gap.</li>
</ul>

<p>William the Conqueror has taken the throne of England, and the consequences for the English are severe. Once he passes away, things deteriorate until Henry I takes the throne and unites Anglo-Norman and Anglo-Saxon England. Without an heir, the country descends into “the anarchy” upon his death, and we look forward to the House of Plantagenet. </p>

<li>Some states have same-day voter registration, but it is rare. I oppose it due to fraud concerns. </li>
<li>Once you register, you’ll get a voter ID card or letter in the mail. It is always a good idea to call your county clerk or election board to verify your polling location. Sometimes they will shift it days before Election Day due to scarce resources. </li>

<li>Subscribe to the podcast – <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained">https://link.chtbl.com/liberty-explained</a></li>
<li>Video – <a href="https://youtu.be/B-ZKki1DVO0">https://youtu.be/B-ZKki1DVO0</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What is Liberty?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Liberty is the freedom to choose to do or not do a thing without interference from outside forces. </li>
<li>The less outside interference in a decision, the freer we are. </li>
<li>The most common form of interference being threats of violence or force if the wrong choice is made. </li>
<li>Liberty is often associated with the idea of free will, which is defined by Wikipedia as “the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded.” </li>
</ul>
<p><em>So What is the difference between Freedom vs. Liberty?</em></p>
<p>They are often considered synonyms that mean the same thing. Let’s look at the definitions of the words thanks to Wikipedia:</p>
<p><strong>Freedom:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Freedom, generally, is having the ability to act or change without constraint. In philosophical discourse, freedom is discussed in the context of free will and self-determination, balanced by moral responsibility. (Wikipedia)</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Liberty</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Broadly speaking, liberty is the ability to do as one pleases. It is a synonym for the word freedom. </li>
<li>In modern politics, liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behaviour, or political views. </li>
<li>Sometimes liberty is differentiated from freedom by using the word “freedom” primarily, if not exclusively, to mean the ability to do as one wills and what one has the power to do; and using the word “liberty” to mean the absence of arbitrary restraints, taking into account the rights of all involved. </li>
<li>In this sense, the exercise of liberty is subject to capability and limited by the rights of others. Thus liberty entails the responsible use of freedom under the rule of law without depriving anyone else of their freedom. </li>
<li>Freedom is more broad in that it represents a total lack of restraint or the unrestrained ability to fulfill one’s desires. For example, a person can have the freedom to murder, but not have the liberty to murder, as the latter example deprives others of their right not to be harmed. Liberty can be taken away as a form of punishment. In many countries, people can be deprived of their liberty if they are convicted of criminal acts.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>There’s a third word we’d add to this mix, and it is “autonomy.” From Merriam-Webster.com:</p>
<p>Definition of autonomy</p>
<p>1: the quality or state of being self-governing</p>
<p>2: self-directing freedom and especially moral independence</p>
<p>3: a self-governing state</p>
<ul>
<li>Ok. Enough philosophizing. What does this actually mean to you? Liberty and Freedom are the goal for libertarians. Individuals should be able to govern themselves because the individual knows how to plan their life in coordination with others better than one person could govern another. We reject the idea that one person can constrain another’s free will without their consent. Currently, the governments that we live under limit our ability to be truly free. </li>
<li>This does not mean that one can do whatever they wish. There will still be laws and consequences in a truly free society. The difference is that each person actively participates in the crafting of those rules. Murder, fraud, theft and other crimes would still carry penalties as they violate the free will of others.</li>
</ul>

<p>In 2021, this episode stands true as we see how libertarian solutions can partner with Federalists to accomplish winning liberty policy solutions at local and state levels (looking at you, Corey DeAngelis and the amazing work done with school choice!)</p>

<p>A big struggle for doctors is when they watch what goes on in the state and national legislatures and realize that there is very little knowledge of what they do, how they practice, and what they did to get where they are. There are no better examples of this failure to understand the nature of what physicians do than the debate over the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) in 2013.That episode was what put the fire in the belly of today’s author, Dr. Matt Moeller, to write his article that went viral and later led to a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0997284706/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0997284706&linkCode=as2&tag=ericlarson-20&linkId=1fe1b6cce5f352280a76b1c0456e4674"> book</a>.</p>
<p> Professional Stresses </p>
<p>There are quite a few stresses that cause lots of problems for practicing doctors</p>
<ul>
<li>Inconsistent schedules making a home life difficult to plan</li>
<li>Multitasking by expecting doctors to do multiple things at once</li>
<li>No downtime to get away from work where patient concerns (following up lab results, etc.) never stop even on vacation or after hours</li>
<li>Rules and regulations</li>
</ul>
<p> The Difference Between Income and Wealth</p>
<p>Doctors usually command a big income but don’t accumulate wealth until much later in life. This puts them at a disadvantage as income is taxed much more heavily than wealth. It also makes it much harder for doctors to catch up financially to others who began working in their 20s and compounded their wealth and were not as saddled with student debt.</p>
<p> How Do You Discourage Doctors?</p>
<ul>
<li>Keep technology complicated and makes doing their job harder.</li>
<li>Insecurity among medical staff with their pay and jobs in perpetual jeopardy</li>
<li>Turning them from decision makers into decision implementers (algorithm medicine)</li>
<li>Escalating productivity expectations</li>
<li>Increased responsibilities with decreased autonomy leading to learned helplessness</li>
<li>Placing more barriers between physicians and their patients</li>
</ul>
<p> Solutions to What Ails Health Care </p>
<ul>
<li>Simplify costs and reimbursement and increase transparency</li>
<li>Reform tort laws</li>
<li>Increase the role patients have in their own health through expanding HSAs</li>
<li>Prevent chronic illnesses</li>
<li>Reign in the numbers and salary of administrators</li>
</ul>
<p> Dr. Matthew Moeller is a gastroenterologist in Grand Rapids, MI and the author of What It’s Like to Become a Doctor that addresses the journey through medicine training. The second half of the book spends time addressing the problems in medicine and some potential solutions.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Ron Paul was right.”</p>
<p>Ron Paul was trending, Scott Horton was trending… Are people trying to pay attention?</p>
<p>After 20 years of a failed foreign policy in the Middle East, President Joe Biden brought American troops home, signifying the end to our two decades of occupation in the region.</p>
<p>However, warhawks and neocons galore are looking for any opportunity to hold on to the narrative, pointing to the unraveling and chaos unfolding and Afghanistan.</p>
<p>Do they have a point? We dig into all this and more with Kenny Cody on today’s episode.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>George Wythe was perhaps the Founder to influence this nation the most. Many other men did great and courageous things, but it was Wythe who ignited the fire of liberty in so many of their hearts. While he is today largely unknown, George Wythe was the mentor to several Founders who went on to become Senators, Supreme Court Justices, and even Presidents – including Thomas Jefferson.</p>
<p>For the season one finale, learn about the man who earned so much respect and admiration from the men that we respect and admire today. Wythe devoted his life to training future generations in the tradition of liberty. It was that same devotion that in many ways likely lead to his suspicious and mysterious death.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Original Show Notes:</p>
<p>[Feb. 2018]:</p>
<p>On this special episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian is joined with former White House/Congressional policy adviser and former FreedomWorks Vice President, Dean Clancy! Brian and Dean dig into the latest budget deals, the Libertarian Party and promoting libertarian policy, and discuss how we can address the gun control issue after the latest public shooting.</p>
<p>Is the Trump budget actually a fiscally conservative budget? Is it better to have a government-controlled by one political party, or split control between two political parties? Is the Libertarian Party actually the best means to promote libertarian principles and to enact libertarian policy? And finally, how do gun rights activists win the debate with gun control. advocates?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hear it all the time with my clients whenever they need to convince themselves that their genuinely great podcast, book, or website idea is actually a nightmare waiting to happen. “I’m an introvert, I can’t host a show” or “I’m scared of public speaking so I can’t talk to crowds.” What kills me are when people are at the peak of greatness and then they self-sabotage or end things mid-stride because of “imposter syndrome.” Today I discuss safeguarding your valuable time, why being an introvert can be your very own superpower, killing imposter syndrome, and we wrap things up with a short interview with the great “Entrepreneur on Fire” himself, John Lee Dumas.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Check out this debate between Marc Clair and Eric Brakey on whether or not the Edward Snowden reveal was a net negative or positive for liberty. I had the opportunity to moderate said debate over on the amazing new platform, TownSircle.</p>
<p>TownSircle enables public figures to come to the table and engage in the important issues of the day by offering pledged donations towards charity to help those in need as a means to facilitate debate.</p>
<p>Now, Eric and Marc didn’t exactly need nudging to take part in this debate, but we were still able to provide over 1,500 meals to those in need thanks to the money raised!</p>
<p>Check out the original link to the TownSircle debate page <a href="https://townsircle.com/events/88">here</a> and learn more about TownSircle <a>here</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>George Washington is often referred to as the Father of our nation, the indispensable man, and the first President of the United States. These are all mostly true, except that the last accomplishment may not be his, from a certain point of view. Indeed, Washington was the first President under the Constitution, but it was Samuel Huntington who became President before him under the Articles of Confederation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do Catholics, Boomers, Boy Scouts, and women in the Army have in common? Actually, probably not the best question to start off. Caleb Franz from “Profiles in Liberty” joins the show to discuss how Boy Scouts impacted him as a kid. From the fun of youth to learning lessons that moved him into adulthood, Caleb and Remso discuss why they believe scouting matters now for than ever for young people, why they think Boy Scouts of America have strayed from their foundations, why men and women need to embrace their differences, and much more in this episode which confirms both of them are basically getting old.</p>

<p>Things are changing again. Some businesses are adding mask requirements again. New York City has introduced a NYC Pass, that is essentially an apple wallet passport card….The predictable outcome. Major events are happening, but for how long? Garth Brooks is potentially putting his scheduled stadium tour on hold. The NFL is still planning on holding firm…for now. Is the needle moving either way? Stats say that vaccines are up significantly again this week.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is empathy?</p>
<p>“Empathy is as simple as two things…</p>
<p>You’ve got to understand about empathy. Number one, empathy is really just curiosity; it is a desire to understand and seek out.</p>
<p>The second part of empathy is tha you are not empathetic towards positions or belief systems – you are empathetic towards people.</p>
<p>And so empathy is something that you show to a person. And it is essentially a curiosity about that person showing genuine interest and curiosity in that person.” – Jeremy Todd</p>

<p>A 5:00 monsoon stole Dakota from us, It looks like a there might be an infrastructure bill coming through Congress. More COVID talk and “guidance” coming from the CDC and locals. The Olympics are happening, but other than one storyline, it does not seem to be connecting with the American viewer. Jeremiah thinks it might be because of time zones.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Benjamin Rush may only be the second most famous Benjamin from Philadelphia, but his impact on this nation was revolutionary. Much of our current medical understanding of mental health and addiction started with him. He was a passionate writer and patriot. Dr. Rush championed political reforms that our country has just recently been catching up to, such as criminal justice reform. His social advocacy is just as impressive, as he was an early proponent of women’s education through “Republican Motherhood.”</p>
<p>Still, perhaps his most significant contribution come later in his life, as he devoted his final years healing the broken friendship of the two titans of the revolution, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. In doing so, he managed to provide the nation with a pathway forward.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people are turning away from conventional power, and opting for sustainable solutions. Nuclear power plants may not be spiking headlines, but they are being eyed as a viable option for the future.</p>
<p>The future of nuclear energy production is in strong hands because unlike many other aspects of life, nuclear power is an option that will ALWAYS be needed.</p>
<p>Mark Schneider joins the program to help show how the advancements in nuclear energy have created solutions that answer the questions of climate change, energy independence, and planetary prosperity.</p>
<p>But what about the common objections we hear about nuclear energy?</p>
<p>Are nuclear power plants safe? Are nuclear power plants efficient? Are nuclear power plants bad for the environment? Can nuclear waste be recycled?</p>
<p>Mark answers and overcomes all those objections (and more) on today’s information-packed episode of The Brian Nichols Show!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>            </p>
<p>Ask any primary care physician and they will tell you the toughest thing about helping their patients change lifestyle is that they don’t have enough time or contact with the patient. Especially when it comes to weight loss control, primary care docs are stretched so thin on time that they struggle to have the impact they’d like on their patient’s healthy habits or lack thereof. </p>
<p> Weight Loss Begins with Awareness </p>
<p>It’s no surprise that a successful weight loss program begins with awareness that you have a problem with weight and your lifestyle. Dr. Egan, says that to be successful one must stay focused on a number of things. All of these are a priority with her management style at her new practice: </p>
<ul>
<li>Relationship with food. One must pay attention to why they are eating and to recognize healthy and unhealthy options. This is all with an awareness of how we are often left with no perfect options because we don’t have the right ingredients, time, or abilities.</li>
<li>Movement. This goes beyond just saying someone needs to exercise. The movement program must be created with the specific patient in mind and their input.</li>
<li>Medications. Sometimes once the other parts are optimized, it is best to look at medications to supplement the rest of the weight loss program. A well designed drug regimen including hormonal treatments can be the difference between success and failure.</li>
</ul>
<p> How to Pull Off Weight in Primary Care</p>
<p>Dr. Egan is teaming with Dr. Bitner (<a href="http://theparadocs.com/115">from episode 115)</a>  and using an entirely new model of care to help women lose weight. Instead of trying to develop a multidisciplinary clinic through an insurance based model, they have decided to go with a membership model where they limit the number patients to allow for more time and contact with the physicians. It’s similar to direct primary care but probably more accurately described as direct contracting. I suspect it will be a much more successful model for getting patients the results they want than through the traditional insurance model.</p>
<p> Dr. Egan is an internist who is board certified in weight management and will be starting at True Women’s Health in August, 2021.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Richard Henry Lee came from one of the most powerful families in colonial Virginia in the 18th century. He was born into a life easier than most. The wealth and resources that he could potentially have at his disposal would have set himself up for a life of luxury. Yet, Lee chose a very different path.</p>
<p>Rather than become corrupted by the lifestyle of the Virginia aristocracy, Richard Henry Lee put his life and fortune on the line time and again to further the cause of liberty. Indeed, even after America achieved Independence, his passion and conviction drove him to make some rather unpopular choices because he believed it to be the right thing to do. The conviction of Richard Henry Lee is something that we can all learn a thing or two from.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Follow the Science!”</p>
<p>Raise your hand if you’ve heard that at least once over the past year and a half. Yes, I see 99.9% of you raising your hands.</p>
<p>How many of you have been told that our ideas of freedom are “dangerous”? I have, by some of my oldest friends.</p>
<p>Well, in today’s episode, not only should you feel vindicated, but you can proudly state that Freedom is Nature – that Freedom is Science – as today I am joined by J.A. Jones Distinguished Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Adrian Bejan.</p>
<p>Dr. Bejan was awarded the Benjamin Franklin Medal 2018 and the Humboldt Research Award 2019. His research covers engineering science and applied physics: thermodynamics, heat transfer, convection, design, and evolution in nature.</p>
<p>He is ranked among the top 0.01% of the most cited and impactful world scientists (and top 10 in Engineering worldwide) in the 2019 citations impact database created by Stanford University’s John Ioannidis, in <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__click.icptrack.com_icp_relay.php-3Fr-3D23198311-26msgid-3D923304-26act-3DUYV7-26c-3D1411105-26destination-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Fjournals.plos.org-252Fplosbiology-252Farticle-253Fid-253D10.1371-252Fjournal.pbio.3000384&d=DwMFaQ&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=wsdhPNlWwYBzB4Nbw7Ed_w&m=1Y7dyX8E3mZl1yrbP2tix5AI6fRmZFi2SG6d_0UzJHo&s=C4vyOZjvqTYq0zAS_5ZW3RGJ0M_jLdOI6Y4E7JduFro&e=">PLoS Biology</a>. </p>
<p>He is the author of 30 books and 685 peer-referred articles. His h-index is 101 with 79,000 citations on Google Scholar. He received 18 honorary doctorates from universities in 11 countries.</p>
<p>Dr. Bejan is most noted for his contributions to modern thermodynamics and the development of “constructal law.”</p>
<p>Dr. Bejan explains today how constructal law not only validates the “it just makes sense” solutions that liberty provides, but scientifically backs it as the necessary component for nature to progress.</p>

<p>Steve Remus joins the program today to discuss his candidacy for Arizona governor. With Steve running for governor in Arizona, we are given a great chance to learn about top of mind issues that are taking place in Arizona, but also how tricky it has been not only to differentiate himself from the 15 Republicans are running and the 5democrats who are running… 20 plus people running and now we have some libertarians tossing their hats in the ring as well.</p>
<p>It’s time for libertarian solutions to step up. So with that being said… on the show with Steve Remus here on The Brian Nichols Show!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>            </p>
<p>Being an expert has a lot to do with muffins. Or rather, when I was eating a fresh muffin the other day for breakfast it certainly got me thinking about experts.</p>
<p>You see, I eat my muffins differently than the rest of my family. They break off the top of the muffin and butter the top and then the bottom. I felt like it would be better to cut my muffin down the middle so I could eat a muffin top with every bite (since the tops are the best). Well, this brought teasing from my kids and wife.</p>
<p>The other day, my daughter got a broken muffin so she had to eat it ‘my way’ by buttering it down the middle. She admitted after eating it that I was right and my way was better. We both considered ourselves experts in what we liked to eat.</p>
<p> Who Is an Expert?</p>
<p>The definition of what an expert is is fairly well defined but the exact qualifications is not. Being an expert is probably more a matter of degrees of knowledge and mastery than any absolute number. I am certainly more an expert in all things medical than most people, but when compared to other physicians that would sometimes not be the case.  </p>
<p> Is the Expert Really an Expert in What We Are Discussing?</p>
<p>The biggest problem with the use of the term expert over the last year and a half of the pandemic is that we proclaim people experts when they can’t possibly be experts. No one has lived through a unique respiratory viral coronavirus pandemic such as we are having. Yet, many proclaim that they know the best treatments, mitigation measures, and modeling predictions. Certainly, some have a better foundational knowledge than others but since this is brand new there is no way anyone can be an expert in this particular disease/phenomenon.</p>
<p> Stay Humble</p>
<p>Ultimately, if you are in this space where you might not really be an exact expert in what is being discussed, you need to acknowledge it and accept some humility that you can’t know. Also, you have to be open the possibility that you may, in fact, be completely wrong. Even experts in their own specialized field are occasionally wrong and must recognize that and be even more cautious when giving ‘expert opinion’ on topics in which they can’t know as much.</p>
<p> Self reflection on who an expert is and whether they might be wrong is critical.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>            </p>
<p>Being an expert has a lot to do with muffins. Or rather, when I was eating a fresh muffin the other day for breakfast it certainly got me thinking about experts.</p>
<p>You see, I eat my muffins differently than the rest of my family. They break off the top of the muffin and butter the top and then the bottom. I felt like it would be better to cut my muffin down the middle so I could eat a muffin top with every bite (since the tops are the best). Well, this brought teasing from my kids and wife.</p>
<p>The other day, my daughter got a broken muffin so she had to eat it ‘my way’ by buttering it down the middle. She admitted after eating it that I was right and my way was better. We both considered ourselves experts in what we liked to eat.</p>
<p> Who Is an Expert?</p>
<p>The definition of what an expert is is fairly well defined but the exact qualifications is not. Being an expert is probably more a matter of degrees of knowledge and mastery than any absolute number. I am certainly more an expert in all things medical than most people, but when compared to other physicians that would sometimes not be the case.  </p>
<p> Is the Expert Really an Expert in What We Are Discussing?</p>
<p>The biggest problem with the use of the term expert over the last year and a half of the pandemic is that we proclaim people experts when they can’t possibly be experts. No one has lived through a unique respiratory viral coronavirus pandemic such as we are having. Yet, many proclaim that they know the best treatments, mitigation measures, and modeling predictions. Certainly, some have a better foundational knowledge than others but since this is brand new there is no way anyone can be an expert in this particular disease/phenomenon.</p>
<p> Stay Humble</p>
<p>Ultimately, if you are in this space where you might not really be an exact expert in what is being discussed, you need to acknowledge it and accept some humility that you can’t know. Also, you have to be open the possibility that you may, in fact, be completely wrong. Even experts in their own specialized field are occasionally wrong and must recognize that and be even more cautious when giving ‘expert opinion’ on topics in which they can’t know as much.</p>
<p> Self reflection on who an expert is and whether they might be wrong is critical.</p>

<p>Two big topics tonight. The USA is leaving Afghanistan, and former President Bush is questioning the decision to get out, because of the vacuum it will provide. Dakota attempts to argue the point. Does it work? The Biden Administration has issued an Executive Order on the issue of “Right to Repair” which is wide ranging from cell phones to tractors. This leads into a debate about McDonalds ice cream machines.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Benjamin Franklin is one of the most well known Founding Fathers in history. He was as world renowned in his own time as he is historically renowned now. Yet few today fully understand or appreciate some of his most significant contributions. There is so much more to Benjamin Franklin than being a signer of the Declaration of Independence or flying a kite.</p>
<p>Most significantly, more than anyone else, Benjamin Franklin defined what it even means to be an American. He gave us our identity. And furthermore, he taught us that the most significant impact we can make on the world must begin at the local level.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The world is on a dangerous path and preparing for doomsday tomorrow might be a good insurance policy, yet, it is far from a sustainable lifestyle for the true reality we live in. Remso speaks with Craig Eyermann from the Independent Institute, where they discuss Biden’s insane spending levels, Jerome Powell’s cautionary signals about the rate of inflation, and whether the Federal Reserve would truly force us into a Venezuela/Zimbabwe hyperinflation scenario. They also dive into the reasons why crypto surges when inflation increases and ultimately why Remso is taking the unpopular stance of defending traditional investing practices and the US dollar.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Features versus benefits.</p>
<p>This is the great battle that has been waging on for over a generation at this point within the greater libertarian movement. </p>
<p>On one side, you have the features folks… those who are focused on educating and good-ideaing their target prospects to death. </p>
<p>Then, there are the sales folks. Those folks are the ones who focus on actually selling. And we don’t do that by talking about features all day long, but rather the benefits of those features and problems that they solve. </p>
<p>Sales professional Jeremy Todd returns to the program to help outline how the libertarian movement can stop focusing on features and specs that nobody really cares about, and to start meeting people where they’re at, solving their problems, and offering real solutions that yield a tangible benefit.</p>

Listen to the first episode then subscribe here – <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/podcasting-and-platforms">https://link.chtbl.com/podcasting-and-platforms</a>!</p>
<p>Where do I begin? This is often the first question asked by a new podcaster (and old ones looking to start a new brand). This question usually paralyzes someone looking to start a show. They’ll look at other shows, see 4 years of growth and think, “I have no idea how to replicate it.” Or, “Who would listen to me? I am not an expert.” This resistance is completely normal, but it isn’t an excuse for procrastinating. In this episode, I talk about the 5 or 6 years of talking myself out of starting this show because I want you to know that is a common reason people never begin. It is the first hurdle to building a great show. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Towards the tail end of summer, I had a viral tweet that was retweeted by Rob Schneider that highlighted the rampant inflation taking place, particularly as it pertains to the impact on the building and greater construction industry. </p>
<p>Well, today’s guest just happens to be the original author of that post from over on Facebook, and is one owner of a Belman Homes and host of The Home Building Hero Podcast, David Belman!</p>
<p>Listen as we discuss how despite the focus having shifted away from the skyrocketing prices increasing construction costs, the very real implications of government policy are still rearing their ugly head, like how all new homes are overpriced by 25% just to cover the added costs of government regulation. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>John Adams often gets the short end of the stick. He’s not the most popular founding father, he was incredibly disliked in his own day, and he’s hardly ever referred to as a “hero of liberty.” He was modest, brash, temperamental, and not particularly wealthy. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin often overshadow Adams due to their contributions to the revolution.</p>
<p>However, the importance of his legacy is not one that should be understated. He was one of the earliest and loudest voices for Independence. He is largely the reason why many of his fellow founders were able to leave such a large and impactful footprint. And most importantly, his commitment to the truth in the face of heated passion set a shining example for all liberty lovers to follow.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you’re like me, then the idea of having an entire conversation about money, monetary theory, money supply, and the rules that govern them does not sound compelling in the slightest.</p>
<p>However, get ready to have your expectations and preconceived notions blown away, as today we’re not only making monetary policy interesting but showing how your average person can actually help have a direct say in the rules but the Federal Reserve follows when dictating monetary policy.</p>
<p>Alex Salter joins the program discuss his new book, “Money and the Rule of Law”, which focuses on applying basic fundamentals of economics from a micro standpoint an helps us understand how we can take a system that can be sometimes incredibly confusing, make it easy to understand and help show your average person the value embracing the new idea of money being held to the same rules as our economic structures.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thomas Jefferson is the founding father that captures our imagination more than any other. He was a philosopher, a scientist, a linguist, a musician, and so much more. His words in the Declaration of Independence have become America’s mission statement, proclaiming to the world what this nation is suppose to be about. Yet he’s also arguably the most divisive founding father, largely due to his relationship with one issue: Slavery.</p>
<p>While it’s true that there is a certain contradiction with Jefferson owning slaves while preaching freedom, there is often key context missing when we review this aspect of his life. In truth, arguably no southern founding father was as consistently vocal against the evils of slavery as Jefferson. In this episode, we look into his true legacy on the matter.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the fastest-growing demographics in the American electorate is Gen Z.</p>
<p>And while many in politics like to do an “old man yells at cloud” routine when discussing issues with Gen Z, we at The Brian Nichols Show understand that Gen Z is quite literally the future, and with that, share a lot of fundamental beliefs that those in the Liberty Movement share as well.</p>
<p>So how do we effectively meet Gen Z where they’re at?</p>
<p>Isabella Riley joins the program as an old soul in Gen Z, but helps us better understand how to effectively communicate and reach those interested Gen Z voters who are curious to explore alternative solutions beyond what has been presented to them as the “status quo” by the older generations their entire lives.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Would the Democratic Party really run someone as inauthentic as Kamala Harris when voters are demanding authenticity? </p>

<p>Anna James Zeigler returns to the program to show who else the Democrats might consider, and if they do run Kamala Harris, how that could be great news for the Republicans (Ron DeSantis, anyone?).</p>

<p>Tired of that phrase over the past year and a half yet?</p>
<p>Well, perhaps you shouldn’t get too comfortable with retiring that expression to the back corners of your mind, as a very fervent (and loud) group of pro-bureaucratic “experts” have been digging their heels in while defending the government’s COVID narratives.</p>
<p>Today’s guests join the program to help destroy narrative after narrative, as their new docuseries “Follow the Science! (On Lockdowns and Liberty)” help tell the actual story of the pandemic.</p>
<p>From telling the stories of those harmed by the “experts” reckless top-down policies that labeled them {“essential” or “non-essential” to digging into the actual science presented by leading epidemiologists and other leading voices who have been sounding the alarm bells from the beginning, the Sound Mind Creative Group is here to tell the full story of the pandemic.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meeting people where they’re at… it’s not just a fancy expression I like to say a lot on the program, but rather, the best way to actually get someone believe you care about them and the problems they’re facing.</p>
<p>Jess Mears has found amazing success in taking this model and using it on the new social media site, “Clubhouse”, as it’s giving her the chance to have some simply amazing conversations with fascinating people that libertarians would miss in our tribal Facebook groups.</p>
<p>Taking it a step further, most of these fascinating people are actually quite “liberty-curious”, and are open to having the non-threatening conversations on a platform like Clubhouse.</p>
<p>Jess digs into all that (and more!) on today’s episode.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Jesse Riddle are your host lineup for tonight! Making his grand return to the show is Steve Horwitz, the distinguished professor of free enterprise at Ball State University. Zach Burcham is our producer this go around!</p>
<p>The economy is off to a clunky re-start. We examine the dynamics of fuel/energy conditions, lumber pricing is wild, homes are off the charts expensive. Labor markets have been difficult for employers, state governments are adjusting policies. Shortages of vehicles, depreciating assets are actually appreciating. How do we make sense of all of this?</p>
<p>And you get an elevator pitch for Austrian Economics, and much more!</p>
<p>Great episode and fantastic to have Steve back on the program!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Zach Burcham are your hosts for the fourth annual Indy 500 race preview episode! Joining us are Mike McKown, Forrest Plank, and in the producer’s chair is Blake McKown, auditioning for BHOL 8 the Ocho.</p>
<p>Anticipation is building for the biggest gathering of humans in one place since the pandemic began. Masks are “required” but most folks are only wearing them when walking around. Some drivers have been critical of the continued expectation of face coverings, with the CDC relaxing standards.</p>
<p>There was controversy around qualifying procedure, Scott Dixon starts from the pole for the fourth time. Race traditions are slightly modified for everyone going into a reduced capacity race, but everyone is optimistic! Take advantage of the favorite and sleeper picks, and take them to the betting window!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">WTF are all these ads? Spangle, you swore you would never have ads on the We Are Libertarians Network!! </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Why are there ads now on your shows?" width="1102" height="620" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/26YDTIb3Mbg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Longtime listeners have heard me say that many times over. And it was undoubtedly true. Advertising adds a layer of complexity and annoyance that turns off listeners… But then I discovered I need money to run a business (and We Are Libertarians has become a business over the last year). It turns out that income is very helpful when existing marketing channels die! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our mission is to reach the politically homeless and give them a more gentle start than OD’ing on praxeology right away. (That has its place!) After social media stopped being a driver of growth for the podcast and our other shows, I had to pivot to find new listeners for this strategy to work. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So we have moved all of our shows to a new podcast host that allows us to do a couple of things: </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1. We can run promos for each other’s shows. I recently had a meeting with the founder of Wondery, and someone asked him how they grew their network. He said it was all about cross-promotion! All 13 of our podcasts have different audiences, and advertising in these shows helps increase the overall audience. The Chris Spangle Show is in the top 1% of all podcasts in terms of downloads and, and I want to share that with libertarian creators I love to give them a chance to grow. I had the benefit of organic social reach, and new podcasters do not. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">2. We will then take that new audience and sell ads to them. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Ugh. Gross. Monetizing listeners feels dirty, you greedy capitalist bastards…”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yeah, but that money is then going to buy ads on other podcasts. With companies like Spotify, Spreaker, and Pandora now selling ads like Facebook and Google, we can purchase ads for the We Are Libertarians brand in shows outside the libertarian space. How do I know this is a good strategy? The largest advertiser on commercial radio is now podcasts. Jordan Harbinger spends $40,000 a month buying ads on other shows and makes three times that back.  Our Patrons give us the capital to run the network and to make all of this work. Thank you to them for being the backbone of this “blue ocean strategy” for libertarianism. Our recent ad buy of $500 in the past month was made possible by your contributions.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our hosts and I are creating an institution in the WAL Podcast Network that will last generations like Reason or Cato. A decade on, WAL is the longest-running libertarian podcast due to the loyalty of our audience and the dedication of our hosts and co-hosts. Our hosts are incredibly talented and dedicated. They put hours a week into their shows for no pay, and when they make money, it’s invested back into their shows. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a few years, we will have part-time or full-time employees dedicated to audio content that informs and entertains the fastest growing political movement instead of 20 of us working on this as hobbyists. That only happens if our audience continues to promote the shows to friends, by financially supporting us through Patreon and by supporting our advertisers. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have a business and want to reach our audience through ads, click here to <a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/WALNetworkSalesDeck.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">see our sales deck</a>. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If not, then check out ways to <a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/support/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">support the show here</a>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Learn from Chris Spangle, founder of We Are Libertarians for a look at why he launched We Are Libertarians as a digital platform and how it has been instrumental in his mission. Chris will share his perspective and there will be time for some Q&A and dialogue with Jess Mears. WAL has 8 shows. The Chris Spangle show has had 4.3 million downloads since 2012. 100K likes on FB and 20K on IG. We have the largest Patreon of any explicitly libertarian show on that platform. Between my day job as a digital director for a radio show, WAL, and the Patdown, I’ve managed three brands that have over 30 million downloads.</p>

<p> How? While the debate over bold/principled versus practical/pragmatic messaging has taken the greater liberty movement by storm, longtime Libertarian activist Carla Howell joins the program to show how both a bold AND practical message can sell liberty, so long as that message is helping solve people’s problems.</p>

<p>This is where Dr. Noorchashm argues that anyone who has had COVID-19 and cleared the disease should not get vaccinated. A near immunological certainty is that once you have cleared a viral infection, you have immunity that is at least if not more robust than immunity you can acquire from a vaccine.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the span of two years, podcast advertising has become a billion-dollar industry. Why? Changes to social media and search engines aren’t getting the same results as they used to. Let’s be honest. Why would anyone want to financially support them? Plus, the loyal audiences of audio brands have a better return on investment. Need more convincing? Look up <a href="http://www.edisonresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/The-Infinite-Dial-2021.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1nJdijfWvEyM__R2GlzeGbxdXOCo32-oR3Gy40RYCkhlSK1j_8RuwAi24" data-type="URL" data-id="http://www.edisonresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/The-Infinite-Dial-2021.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1nJdijfWvEyM__R2GlzeGbxdXOCo32-oR3Gy40RYCkhlSK1j_8RuwAi24" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Edison Research’s Infinite Dial</a>. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As our ability to market the shows using Big Tech wanes, we need a new way to find potential libertarians and tell them there is an optimistic and hopeful path for the future of this country. We are buying recurring ads on other podcasts promoting the network, but it takes revenue to do that, so we are offering advertising on our entire network beginning in June to fund it. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the longest-running libertarian network, this audience has been our partner in growth for almost a decade. Many longtime listeners know I’ve wanted to stay completely listener-funded, but it’s time to pivot to reach our next level of growth. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We are looking for advertisers that will enhance the lives of our listeners, and we have six slots available for companies that are looking to grow with us. I am offering this to our audience members first. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Volume matters in advertising, and no other libertarian brand can offer you over 40 episodes across 9 shows a month while reaching tens of thousands of people for one easy monthly payment. It is simple. Email me at <a href="mailto:chris@chrisspangle.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">chris@chrisspangle.com</a> for the sales deck and let us start supporting your business as you support ours.</p>

<p>This is the episode where all technology decides to break. A rare audio only episode that was off the rails before the show even started. The guys try to pick up the pieces and had a classic fun, wandering episode. We talk art, skateboarding, getting old, Riddle scamming Rocket League, Pato O’Ward making an NFT and Jesse tries to explain it to us. Local fire department did some great work, and we lost Uncle Bobby Unser.<br />Our program is community supported on Patreon.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Back in January, I joined Matt Kibbe on his program to discuss the failures of libertarians to effectively market ideas. </p>
<p>We know that the best way to communicate with people is not to tell them what you <em>think</em> they should know, but to listen to their problems, answer their questions, and establish yourself as a source of trusted information others can turn to in times of doubt. </p>
<p>During that time of answering their questions and establishing trust, telling stories is a crucial tool in the toolbelt in helping illustrate our ideas and our solutions.</p>
<p>Matt now returns to the program to help show how best to tell stories that inspire and drive people towards “buying liberty” as a solution to the problems in their lives, and how he and his amazing team at Free the People have been helping tell amazing stories that show how libertarians are problem solvers.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What are the two emotions that drive buyers into action?</p>
<p>Love and…?</p>
<p>Fear.</p>
<p>Knowing that, how is fear being using to sell us on massive government policies with price tags ranging from the billions and even trillions of dollars. </p>
<p>Dr. Patrick Moore is one of the co-founders of Greenpeace and joins the program today to outline how easily fear can be used to motivate policy, actual science be damned, and how the contemporary environmental movement has focused less on saving the environment than it is being anti-humanity. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        Today’s episode strikes right to the heart of the reason I started this podcast – the injustice of maintenance of certification. If you’re a doctor, you know all about the unfairness of this system which requires more money, paperwork, money, testing, money, time away from patients and families, and money. It contributes to physician burnout. For patients, it is why your doctor might retire early, look stressed out, or be unavailable when you need him or her most.</p>

<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/221" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/221</a></p>
<p>We got the chance to talk to recently retired Darrel Radford, who has been covering the local news beat since the 1970’s, topics include the local newspaper industry, how times have changed for the news business. Darrel also has a book available called “Images of America” and is running a BHOL special! Just mention the podcast!</p>
<p>Greg Pence skipped the Presidential address for a local Repubican dinner; Henry County had a high speed chase, and Jeremiah gets on his soapbox about playing the game of theatre for sporting events. Dakota wants the old normal back…Folks have had their vaccination opportunity…When is it over?<br />

<p>Episode 203 is racing laden as we move into the spring season! John has written a brand new book “Indy Split”  that is going to be available at  <a href="https://octanepress.com/book/indy-split/indy500_CART_IRL_USAC_racing" rel="nofollow">https://octanepress.com/book/indy-split/indy500_CART_IRL_USAC_racing</a>  and on Amazon. We examine the politics inplay and how reunification happened…But most importantly; buy a copy of the book…A mere podcast won’t do the story justice.<br />
Indy 500 plans have been announced. It will be the biggest in person gathering since the pandemic began. </p>
<p>Kyle is waging a war against the equine community for canceling the third annual last ever Hoosier Hundred, and moving the race to Terre Haute….No more dirt racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hello friends,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I wanted to give you a couple of updates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My attendance and attention to the main show will be a little spotty for a month as Matt Wittlief and I begin recording the first episodes of the long-teased history podcast for patrons. Originally called “Ideological Origins,” it is now called the <strong>“History of Modern Politics”</strong> after Matt pointed out my original title kind of sucked.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="256" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/modernpolbumpersize-1024x256.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-42134" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/modernpolbumpersize-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/modernpolbumpersize-300x75.jpg 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/modernpolbumpersize-150x38.jpg 150w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/modernpolbumpersize-768x192.jpg 768w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/modernpolbumpersize-1536x384.jpg 1536w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/modernpolbumpersize.jpg 2000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We initially recorded two episodes years ago under the title Defined. Listen to episodes one and two on the public podcast feed here: <a href="https://link.chtbl.com/history-of-modern-politics">https://link.chtbl.com/history-of-modern-politics</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>We will post twice a month, and WAL patrons will have them 6 to 9 months before anyone else.</em> You’ll also have access to our outlines, videos of the episodes, and reading lists. We plan to make it public eventually, but really, this is a thank you for patrons that support the show at $10 and above. Look for the first one next month.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Patrons at the $10 and above level: </strong>The content will be posted on Patreon, and you will get it in your Patreon podcast RSS feed. You also get lifetime access to <a href="http://.historyofmodernpolitics.com/">HistoryOfModernPolitics.com</a>. Just shoot me a message with your preferred email, and I will get you set up there if you choose that interface.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.patreon.com/wearelibertarians" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.patreon.com/wearelibertarians">Join WAL Plus here</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sign up for free emails now and we will alert you when the shows are published to the public feed. – <a href="http://.historyofmodernpolitics.com/">HistoryOfModernPolitics.com</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">HMP is a show I’ve wanted to do for a long time. As I began reading more in 2017, I noticed the debates raging today are re-hashed arguments from history but with different faces. Matt and I have always talked about defining the libertarian, conservative, and progressive movements while highlighting the important people a person ought to know if they’re going to speak intelligently about politics (which seems more like a hindrance than anything these days). As we talked about where to start, the timeline kept moving away from 1994 AD and more towards 94 AD. So that is where we will begin.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can see more about the show as well as the very tentative outline of shows at <a href="https://www.historyofmodernpolitics.com/about">HistoryOfModernPolitics.com/About</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have four goals for this:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>To understand modern politics, people must have an understanding of how current arguments have developed. One can learn a lot of insight about current events by examing the past.</li><li>To understand the long fight for societal liberty and personal freedom and why it cannot be squandered.</li><li>To define modern libertarianism, conservatism, and progressivism through intellectual history.</li><li>To guide the listener to resources to learn more about the subjects briefly covered in the series.</li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My podcasting career’s central mission is to create independent thinkers immune from manipulation by politicians and their grifters. Maybe at one point it was to tell people what to think, get people elected, or take over a movement, but I view my role differently after almost 20 years in politics and media.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If we can show an audience how to think by guiding them through our confusing information ecosystem, it liberates them. Once someone knows critical players, where most of them find their ideas and those central arguments are, these informed individuals are harder to control and manipulate.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The We Are Libertarians Podcast Network’s mission statement is to “Sound Smarter” while talking to your friends. Learning about the ideas of liberty enriches a person, and I hope this new vehicle will significantly benefit you.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The second thing is just a general update on what I plan to do now that we can’t do much on social media.</strong> I threw myself into doing more shows and interviews, and I have to be honest, I don’t enjoy it nearly as much as researching. I am going to leave that to Brian, Remso, and Tricia.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Patron Tom asked why I haven’t restarted the WAL group or why I am not making an aggressive push towards another social channel? This sounds so sad to say, but it takes a ton of time to run a good meme page. lol. It takes a lot of energy to market a podcast network for free, and do I want to partner with other channels that will dry up? Besides, like the lead water pipes of Rome, social media is slowly making us all crazy. I prefer everyone start a Liberty and Chill to meet their neighbors.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if I am not arguing with other libertarians on social media while searching for memes, where will I put this extra energy? A solid CSS on Saturdays, the History of Modern Politics, another season of Liberty Explained, and all the reading and writing that goes along with that. Good content that people cannot stop talking about is the best marketing, so I will aim for that. I hope you’ll help us out and share it with friends.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How can we help public sector workers exercise their First Amendment rights without fear of coercion from unions?</p>
<p>Americans for Fair Treatment CEO David Osborne returns to the program to show how AFFT’s mission has become increasingly important in recent years. </p>
<p>Since the June 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Janus v. AFSCME, government workers are now free to exercise their right not to pay a union and still keep their jobs, but the process of resigning from a union, introducing new ideas for workplace support, and avoiding workplace intimidation all remain daunting.</p>
<p>Listen as David outlines how AFFT gives those employees a voice and the resources to protect their rights. </p>

<p>Now, this is an all-day event, but yours truly will be moderating a panel at 10:00 am EST… The panel’s focus?  The Altered states of combat: Veteran trauma and the quest for novel therapeutics in psychedelic substances (History + overview of current treatments)  </p>
<p>This panel will feature 4 veterans who have used psychedelic therapies to combat PTSD, Trauma, opioid addiction, and I would love to show them some support from the phenomenal Brian Nichols Show Audience.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New Jersey was one of the hardest hit states by the COVID pandemic, and the government’s response to COVID likely ended up causing more pain than the virus alone. </p>
<p>Governor Phil Murphy even went as far to say that worrying about the Bill of Rights was “above his pay grade” when being pressed on his administration’s lockdown tactics.</p>
<p>Gregg Mele decided that enough was enough, and announced that he was seeking to unseat Phil Murphy as governor under the Libertarian Party. Gregg joins the program to outline specifically why he is running for governor, and what he would do differently when compared to the current Murphy administration.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the Swamp Explained,” Chris Spangle and Rob Quartel go in-depth on how Washington works. The show is hosted by Chris Spangle of the We Are Libertarians network. Rob Quartel is a 45-year fly on the wall in Washington, DC. Rob has worked for Republican presidential campaigns, government agencies like the EPA, and has been confirmed by the Senate to the Us Federal Maritime Commission. He’s also been a candidate for Congress and Senate. Given his experience and iconoclastic viewpoints, Rob gives us great insight into the swamp that makes up our nation’s capital.</p>
<p>In this episode, we cover new developments in the Swamp now that Biden is President and the missed opportunities to change Washington by the Trump Administration. We cover the future of lockdowns, and Rob asks the new Bad Boy of Libertarianism what he did to get censored. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“The goal of the proposal is ….”</p>
<p>Now, to judge how a proposal did, one would want to look at the actual outcomes of said proposal, versus just looking at the intentions of the proposal.</p>
<p>And yet, when it comes to government programs and policies, it is the intentions that lawmakers seem to focus on.</p>
<p>Nolan Gray is a housing researcher at UCLA, a former NYC city planner, host of the YouTube “Pop Culture Urbanism” (where he dissects housing & city questions from famous movies & TV shows), and joins the program to specifically address California’s extreme environmental laws and where they ended up exacerbating the very problems they were seeking to address. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“You’re not a real libertarian.”</p>
<p>Heard that one before? Whelp, if you’re listening to the program, then not only have you likely heard that before, but you’re also likely done with that mindset, as our goal here is to bring liberty to people’s lives <em>now</em>.</p>
<p>To help more things forward, a surge of “libertarian unity” has been sweeping the party. Today’s guest is Trent Ortner from the Redacted Caucus, who joins the show to outline why a unified LP is an LP that can be dangerously successful in uniting all constitutionally protected organizations and groups; for the purpose of restoring liberty to the United States..</p>
<p>Find the Redacted Caucus Online: <a href="https://redactedcaucuslp.org/" rel="nofollow">https://redactedcaucuslp.org/</a><br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The government lockdowns in response to the COVID-19 pandemic absolutely decimated small businesses.  On top of that, major cities across the US were already seeing mass exoduses due to increasing cost of living, increased taxes, and the fact that cities are losing their initial appeal as hubs of commerce and activity.</p>
<p>Scott Beyer returns to the program to outline how a “Market Urbanism” approach to handling our cities woes could help put those cities back on course.  It’s getting government out of the way that helps solve these problems, and more often than not, it’s the government getting in the way in the first place that caused the problems to begin with.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To come out of a devastating emotional event or suffer from physical trauma or injury is a journey many of us know all too well. In today’s episode, I catch up with my old friend Sophie who had to overcome one of the most severe health crisises anyone can encounter- a stroke at the age of 24. From finishing her masters to starting her PhD, all while developing her body to become a precision athlete and bodybuilder, Sophie is one of those rare individuals who was knocked down emotionally and physically and managed a comeback few could imagine. If you need the motivation to start lifting, this is the episode for you.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2020 brought a lot of unprecedented challenges, with dozens of states taking unconstitutional actions to “protect” their citizens.  One such state is New Jersey.</p>
<p>With the crackdown on civil liberties in response to the COVID pandemic, Governors like Phil Murphy unintentionally fired up activists all around the country.  In New Jersey, the pro-liberty movement is alive and well, and that’s in large part due to today’s guest: Michael Rufo (NJLP VP of Political Affairs).</p>
<p>Mike ran for office as a Libertarian in past elections, but now is focused on helping bring pro-liberty policy to New Jersey by helping coordinate with Libertarian candidates to offer substantive, effective policy prescriptions to bring to the voters. </p>
<p>Listen as Mike outlines specific policy and tactical proposals for New Jersey on today’s exciting episode!  </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The data, facts, and realities of COVID were far away from what the media and public health institutions were presenting to the world at the advent of the pandemic. </p>
<p>And while the controlling narrative was that of lockdowns and fear in response to COVID, organizations like PANDA have been working with some of the top minds in public health, focusing on the hard data and analytics of the pandemic to help <em>save lives</em>. </p>
<p>Returning to the program is Nick Hudson, co-founder of PANDA, who just gave an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80Vz7tZLuBI" rel="nofollow">amazing talk </a>at  the inaugural BizNews Investment Conference where he crushed the common myths and misconceptions promoted by pro-lockdown, anti-science politicians and unelected bureaucrats.</p>
<p>What do epidemiologists and immunologist think of Dr. Fauci? What’s the story about the COVID variants? Are asymptomatic people a danger to others?</p>
<p>All that (and more) discussed on today’s special BONUS episode.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you state lockdown in response to the COVID pandemic?  And if it did end up locking down, did your state follow the science data and reopen once government lockdowns were shown to have no impact on the virus?</p>
<p>Joining the program is Anna Zeigler (The Federalist) who joins the program to put the spotlight on one Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.  Listen as we did into DeSantis’ skyrocketing to national prominence over the past year, how he was one of the first executives at a state level who actually followed “followed the science” and didn’t hamstring his state’s economy with unscientific lockdowns, and outlines now has a real shot a being the GOP nominee in 2024.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the Swamp Explained,” Chris Spangle and Rob Quartel go in-depth on how Washington works. The show is hosted by Chris Spangle of the We Are Libertarians network. Rob Quartel is a 45-year fly on the wall in Washington, DC. Rob has worked for Republican presidential campaigns, government agencies like the EPA, and has been confirmed by the Senate to the Us Federal Maritime Commission. He’s also been a candidate for Congress and Senate. Given his experience and iconoclastic viewpoints, Rob gives us great insight into the swamp that makes up our nation’s capital.</p>
<p>In this episode, we cover new developments in the Swamp now that Biden is President and the missed opportunities to change Washington by the Trump Administration. We cover the future of lockdowns, and Rob asks the new Bad Boy of Libertarianism what he did to get censored. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Jesse Riddle host; Zach Burcham is our producer and cameraman! We have three elected officials in the building with us tonight. County Commissioner Bobbi Plummer, County Council President Susan Huhn, and Councilwoman Betsy Mills.</p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/216" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/216</a></p>
<p>Indiana has a challenge to its home rule law and the ability of counties to set policy. Specifically House Bill 1381 dealing with zoning for development of wind and solar installations in counties. Henry County officials have been at the front lines of the debate. We also get into the conversation about if solar projects are coming to Henry County and how an ordinance governing them will be developed.</p>
<p>We also get updates on the counties efforts to get live streams in county government; a new shell building; the counties EAP program, and more. Jeremiah went to a Pacers game and isn’t sure he is going back any time soon! <br />

<p>So, what can we as libertarians do better to avoid these pitfalls of the past? 2020 Libertarian Party vice presidential candidate Spike Cohen returns to the program to help outline what libertarians <em>shouldn’t</em> do, and where the Libertarian Party is headed as we move towards the 2022 elections.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Donald Trump proved that there was an untapped market within the GOP that a persona like he could take advantage of – populism.  Now, this isn’t a new discovery, but rather something that hasn’t been effectively utilized by GOP politicians in decades.  </p>
<p>Instead of learning from what Trump was able to do successfully in his use of Republican populism, many GOP leaders have rejected that approach, leaving many of those voters looking for a path forward. </p>
<p>Jack Hunter joins the program to dig into this Republican populism, and with that, how advocates in the liberty movement can utilize that populist sentiments in the GOP to help promote pro-liberty policy.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, Zach Burcham, and Mike Broyles are your hosts for the 198th edition of Boss Hog of Liberty, with our featured guest being Kyle Robbins, USAC Silver Crown racer.</p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/215" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/215</a></p>
<p>Late breaking news: Round three of stimulus bucks are coming. The President says you should check your bank accounts this weekend; you might be wildly wealthy? Some discussion about the dependency that these multiple stimulus checks are going to have on folks, particularly those who will have kids receiving hundreds of dollars a month for the next year.</p>
<p>The big topic tonight is racing! Kyle Robbins is a New Castle native. We track how he went from quarter midgets into Ford Focus Sprints, dirt and pavement sprints, and now into the USAC Silver Crown Series racing against the biggest names in the sport. Working around some of the biggest names in motorsports. Last year he was racing Kyle Larson who won last weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race. Great conversation about how a family racing team gets on the track for the full season!<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I went through an incredibly difficult low point in my life after finishing college in 2017, but an unexpected trip to Iceland ended up causing something inside of me to take a step back from my struggles and truly remember what it is to have fun and a sense of awe and adventure again. From watching glaciers tip over to drinking straight from a waterfall’s stream and riding an ATV for the first time on a trail meant for experts, I got more than I gambled for on that trip. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Finding common ground is one of the most challenging aspects of political discourse in 2021.  In a world where “the others” are looked at with skeptical eyes, it’s more important for us to enter into good-faith dialogue whenever and wherever we can on issues of agreement. </p>
<p>One such area the left and right (should) be finding common ground is that of the death penalty.  Today we are joined by Professor David Dozier, professor emeritus in the School of Journalism & Media Studies at San Diego State University and author of “The California Killing Field”.  David joins the program to make the case as to why the death penalty is as anti-liberty as they come, how to have good-faith conversations with those we disagree with, and how to enact common policy goals into action. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where is America headed?  Pay attention to the news for more than 10 seconds, and you’d believer we’re one step closer to Hell in a handbasket than ever anticipated. </p>
<p>And who to blame?  Well, the corporate media is sure to make sure the proverbial finger is pointed at the “young folks” – namely – the Millennials and Generation Z.  As a Millennial, I’ve got a better reading as to where we’re at, but what about Gen Z?  Where are they at?  And are they actually the generation deserving off all the blame?</p>
<p>Mahgdalen Rose joins the program as a prominent voice in Generation Z, and joins the program to help outline where Generation Z is at in terms of politics, economics, culture, and more. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell, Zach Burcham, and Jesse Riddle are your hosts for the 197th edition of Boss Hog of Liberty, with our featured guest of Billy Cardwell, founder of Aurora Financial Strategies.</p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/214" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/214</a></p>
<p>Fun and educational show! Brief chat about the new guidelines in Indiana for the COVID vaccine. Now anyone 50+ is eligible, along with teachers, front line folks, and any veteran. Congress is slowly working their way towards approving the $1400 that was “promised” months ago.</p>
<p>This is our HUGE financial episode. Discussion on Wall Street Bets, Cryptocurrency, and individual speculative account apps like Robinhood. Great discussion about who should use the services of a certified financial advisor and what to consider when getting one. Riddle asked the most important question…How DO these guys get paid?<br />

<p>Gen Z activists don’t seem to mind so much with tackling some of these issues, and today’s guest is one such activist, as Olivia Rondeau joins the program to make her case as to why identity politics can’t hold up to the value that liberty and free markets bring to traditionally underserved/underrepresented communities. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Julie Simpson, an Independent Nurse Practitioner with MedExpress joins us to discuss heart health. </p>
<p>The month of February, which is recognized as American Heart Month, provides an opportunity to reinforce awareness of heart health and encourage Americans to take steps to reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease through the adoption of healthier behaviors and lifestyles – especially during a pandemic. </p>
<p>And now, with COVID-19, people with certain heart conditions must be even more vigilant about practicing a healthy lifestyle and taking care of their heart by eating healthy and exercising to try to protect it from harm. The virus attacks the respiratory system which can weaken the lungs making the heart work harder to pump blood throughout the body. This added stress can be harmful for people with heart disease. </p>
<p>Heart disease is the number one killer of both American men and women, according to the CDC. In addition, other cardiovascular conditions, such as high blood pressure or hypertension, are far too common. In fact, 1 of 2 adults in the United States suffers from high blood pressure, which when uncontrolled can have serious health consequences. The American Heart Association states that some individuals experience few or no symptoms before having a heart attack or stroke. Periodic cardiac screening tests and blood pressure checks can detect issues before symptoms develop, which can help to prevent major health issues down the road.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the recent shutdowns in Texas due to the massive winter storm and associated power outages, the idea of energy independence is back at the top of people’s minds.  So, how do we juggle the pursuit of energy independence while also being conscious of our greater impact on the environment?</p>
<p>Jack Kerfoot is a scientist, energy executive and author of FUELING AMERICA: An Insider’s Journey, and joins the show to make his case that climate change and energy independence requires us removing government roadblocks to the development of new renewable energy projects, and providing incentives to attract the people and resources necessary.</p>

<p>We got a gigantic snowstorm. Still digging out in Indiana, but we are far better off than Texas. How did everyone handle it? Ted Cruz got caught going on vacation. Rush Limbaugh passed away, folks can’t seem to say anything nice without stepping in it.  The Colts stole a quarterback from the Eagles, and Michael McDowell won the Daytona 500.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Kid Again Indiana is an organization with a mission to support kids with life-threatening conditions and their families by giving illness a time-out through year-round adventures. Indiana Executive Director Katie Pappas joins us to talk about their mission. Their website is <a href="https://akidagain.org/chapter/indiana-chapter/">https://akidagain.org/chapter/indiana-chapter/</a>. </p>
<p>Having a child with a life-threatening condition is a reality no family wants to face. But the reality is every year, more than 27,000 children in the U.S. are diagnosed with a life-threatening condition. We’re trying to get the word out to eligible families in the greater Indianapolis area about how they can take advantage of the support from A Kid Again.</p>
<p>Finding moments of joy and escape from the fear and anxiety of medical appointments and treatments is so important not just for the child, but for the parents and siblings as well. Whether it’s a virtual magic show or a day at the zoo, A Kid Again helps families feel a sense of normalcy through consistent activities at absolutely no cost to the family. And this matters. More than 90% of families served by A Kid Again report increased feelings of hope and that their family was strengthened because of the support from A Kid Again.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On this week’s show, we talk to Chris Gray, Executive Director of the Indiana Council on Problem Gambling about the expansion of gambling in Indiana and how that affects Hoosiers.</p>
<p>The Indiana Council on Problem Gambling strives to generate awareness, promote education, and be an advocate for quality treatment of problem gamblers in the State of Indiana. The ICPG was founded in 1996 by a group of individuals and organizations whose goal was to ensure that help was available for problem gamblers in a time of increasing types of legalized gambling in Indiana. The ICPG seeks to work with all individuals and organizations involved in gaming activities that address problem gambling in Indiana. The Council believes that success will result from these partnerships. Their website is <a href="http://indianaproblemgambling.org/">http://indianaproblemgambling.org/</a>.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Politics are always downstream from culture.”</p>
<p>Raise your hand if you’ve heard that famous utterance from the late Andrew Breitbart at least once in your life.  Well, as cliche as it may sound, we see it first hand in the manner in which our society has so quickly adapted to the promoted culture of the Hollywood and leftist elite.</p>
<p>So, is it possible to help reign in the power?  Or at least, to use it to our advantage?</p>
<p>Phil Labonte from All That Remains joins the program to dig into that, the “black pill”. and more!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chelsea Haring-Cozzi, Executive Director of Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention joins us to discuss the complexity of helping those who experience homelessness. Chris Spangle asks her about encampments on the circle, who falls into homelessness, and what organizations network together to solve the issue.</p>
<p>“CHIP” is the homeless coalition for the City of Indianapolis. CHIP collaborates with and supports dozens of local shelters and service providers in the City to create a community response that makes homelessness rare, short-lived, and recoverable. CHIP’s support comes in a variety of ways:</p>
<p>·      <strong>Securing funding for housing and services</strong></p>
<p>·      <strong>Conducting important research </strong>that is used by all local homeless service providers who want to make sure their programs and housing solutions are fitting the needs in the community.</p>
<p>·      <strong>Advocating for policy change </strong>at the local, state and national levels for policies that support solutions to homelessness</p>
<p>·      <strong>Providing a variety of programs </strong>and training opportunities to improve the quality and effectiveness of the homeless system of care. For example, the Street Reach program provides financial assistance to people who are experiencing homelessness by helping them overcome barriers to permanent housing like paying a security deposit to rent an apartment or paying a utility bill. Since 2017, more than 700 individuals have either moved into permanent housing or made significant steps toward doing so with the help of Street Reach.</p>

<p>Big recap of the Indiana General Assembly active bills. Legislation regarding the Libertarian Party ballot access has been defeated. Henry County Council President Susan Huhn testified before the Utilities committee regarding a bill that would substantially change home rule and the authority of planning commissions. The local police department is getting plate readers that will observe everyone as they come and go in town…What could possibly go wrong?</p>
<p>Finally – The Henry County Commissioners have been found in violation of open door laws for making a change in county attorney in private phone calls instead of at public meetings.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While the election of 2020 is still in the rearview mirror, believe it or not, it’s time we start looking ahead towards the 2022 elections!  Libertarians already have a disadvantage when it comes to name/brand recognition, so it’s incredibly important for those LP candidates to start off early!</p>
<p>Today’s guest is doing just that, as I’m joined by Pennsylvania Libertarian Gubernatorial candidate Joe Soloski!  Joe joins the program to paint the vision of what a Soloski Administration would focus on as top priorities, how crazy the laws are on buying alcohol in PA (no seriously… they’re bonkers), and how Joe Soloski would leave PA more free.</p>

Oh, the Indiana Republicans are trying to kill Libertarian ballot access; Florida wants to steal the olympics from Japan. And what ever happened to our $1400?<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts for the 191st edition of Boss Hog of Liberty. Liberty defender Sean Row is our featured guest, and rumored to be headed to DC to defend Trump during the impeachment trial. Celebrity producer this week is Zachary Burcham.<br />
<a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/208" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/208</a></p>
<p>Joe Biden was inaugurated, Pence and Trump left in their own unique ways. We talk about the 17 new executive orders and what they might actually mean. Jeremiah makes a case that the Presidency is too powerful and executive orders are terrible governing. Biden has big plans for another $1400 or as Sean says, another $2000 in Bernie Bucks. By the way, the BERNIE MEMES are off the charts today. Stole the thunder of the inauguration. Somehow we are debating a $15 minimum wage as pandemic relief that won’t come into place for 5 years? And will student loans actually get forgiven? <br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kelly McBride, Executive Director of the Domestic Violence Network (DVN), joins us. The Domestic Violence Network is a nonprofit organization that has existed for over 20 years to bring all members of the Central Indiana community together to change the culture that leads to domestic violence through advocacy, education, and collaboration. Their work is focused on education with the idea that informing our community on issues related directly and indirectly to domestic and other types of violence will change the culture that leads to that violence. DVN does not provide direct services to survivors of domestic violence, but our work is heavily based on prevention so our service providers can focus on serving those impacted by these human issues. Their website is www.dvnconnect.org.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Between the pandemic lockdowns and the silencing and de-platforming of entire businesses, how can small businesses survive? Remso talks with Dan Smotz, a podcaster and business owner whose entire Facebook presence was erased without previous flags or warnings as to why. Facebook not only took down his personal profile, show page, and business pages, but also that of his wife’s business pages as well. Dan explains what has happened since, and Remso does a live consultation for how small businesses can survive and thrive during these “interesting times.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chelsea Haring-Cozzi, Executive Director of Coalition for Homelessness Intervention and Prevention joins us to discuss the complexity of helping those who experience homelessness. Chris Spangle asks her about encampments on the circle, who falls into homelessness, and what organizations network together to solve the issue.</p>
<p>“CHIP” is the homeless coalition for the City of Indianapolis. CHIP collaborates with and supports dozens of local shelters and service providers in the City to create a community response that makes homelessness rare, short-lived, and recoverable. CHIP’s support comes in a variety of ways:</p>
<p>·      <strong>Securing funding for housing and services</strong></p>
<p>·      <strong>Conducting important research </strong>that is used by all local homeless service providers who want to make sure their programs and housing solutions are fitting the needs in the community.</p>
<p>·      <strong>Advocating for policy change </strong>at the local, state and national levels for policies that support solutions to homelessness</p>
<p>·      <strong>Providing a variety of programs </strong>and training opportunities to improve the quality and effectiveness of the homeless system of care. For example, the Street Reach program provides financial assistance to people who are experiencing homelessness by helping them overcome barriers to permanent housing like paying a security deposit to rent an apartment or paying a utility bill. Since 2017, more than 700 individuals have either moved into permanent housing or made significant steps toward doing so with the help of Street Reach.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2020 has show just how unprepared government is in terms of being able to address immediate problems and concerns on a public policy perspective.  And with that, those groups that have been traditionally marginalized are learning first-hand how important it is to take one’s own personal autonomy into their own hands. </p>
<p>Today’s guess is Ermiya Fanaeian from SLC Pink Pistols, who joins the program to make the case as to why “armed queers don’t get bashed”, and how despite our other political differences (Ermiya is more left when it comes to economics), the importance of defending the ultimate minority – the individual – is paramount.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts for the 190th edition of Boss Hog of Liberty. Justin “Juice” Kelly is our featured guest. Celebrity producer this week is Zachary Burcham.<br />
<a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/207" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/207</a></p>
<p>Fun episode catching up with Justin. He is still hosting the Juice in the Morning Podcast; and producing for HI Entertainment. Big things are on the horizon for that group! Parler got de-platformed. The market is speaking – the value of Facebook and Twitter has gone down billions this week. Is Amazon going to be liable for denying web services? </p>
<p>The president got impeached; again. We explore the differences this time and if there is a chance he is convicted in the Senate. Jeremiah and Dakota both think they should give the nation an inoculation against more Trump. <br />

<p>Full slate of topics this week; fireworks over trash and recycling service at the city of New Castle council meeting; we take a deep dive into the coup at the US Capitol building; did the President incite a riot? Did he abandon his people? What is the future going to be now? We walk through the events of the day and try to make sense of it all. But we’re going to do it with our normal frivolity, because we can’t lose our way.<br />

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://freethepeople.org/author/mkibbe/">Matt Kibbe</a> is joined by Brian Nichols, host of <a href="https://briannichols.fireside.fm/">The Brian Nichols Show</a>, to discuss the failures of libertarians to effectively market ideas. In his day job as manager of a sales team, Nichols has learned that the best way to communicate with people is not to tell them what you think they should know, but to listen to their problems, answer their questions, and establish yourself as a source of trusted information others can turn to in times of doubt. By becoming less aggressive and more open, libertarians could go a lot farther towards making inroads with the average American looking for answers to problems, like government lockdowns, that are actively affecting their ability to live and prosper.</p>

<p>Marketing specialist and podcaster Brian Nicholas, my good pal, joins the show to discuss Marketing & Sales 101, and how these basic principles should apply to political campaigning.</p>
<p>How do we meet people where they’re at? Is education or listening more key to winning votes? Just how important are name recognition and cults of personality in political success? And how do we respond to America’s populist moment?</p>
<p>We discuss all this and more. (Plus, his take on pickles will leave you shook!)</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>COVID-19 is a threat.  Yes, it’s a very real disease that kills lots of people.  </p>
<p>However, the government lockdowns and the related intrusions on civil liberties pose a serious threat not only to lives, but to civilization itself—a threat must be resisted.</p>
<p>At this juncture, the science is quite clear on what key policy responses should be—or should have been.   But this is no longer about the science, if it ever was. </p>
<p>What is required now is a mobilization against what is essentially an enormous public relations machine that is fuelling fear and removing agency from people’s lives the world over, which is why today’s guest is on the program!  </p>
<p>Today’s guest is Nick Hudson from PANDA (Pandemics ~ Data & Analytics). PANDA is a collective of leading scientists, actuaries, economists, data scientists, statisticians, medical professionals, lawyers, engineers and businesspeople working as a collective to replace bad science with good science. </p>

<p>Christmas is in the books; we review gifts received and what was noteworthy. COVID has peaked in Henry County (we think) and we have hit the red phase. Maximum restrictions are now in place. Nashville Tennessee had a bombing just off lower Broadway in the bar district that they guys like to visit. And there is either $600 or $2000 coming your way. How is it going to work out?<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What used to be shocking has somehow become the new normal in our politics, workplaces, and universities.  Sexual predators stalk interns at work and teenagers abroad.  Parents try to buy a place for their kids in college. <br />
 Pharmaceutical companies refuse to acknowledge the Opioid epidemic they helped create.  Banks issue credit cards no one ordered, ruining the credit scores and reputations of thousands.  It happens so frequently that we can no longer dismiss these cases as a few bad apples. </p>
<p>Clearly, something in the system is rotten.</p>
<p>Today’s guest is cultural anthropologist Grant McCracken , who argues that while most Americans are committed to morality and share basic standards of decency, we’re also becoming inured to scandal and shame, and hopeless about the possibility of change. </p>
<p>What if we decided to fight it instead? </p>
<p>Grant McCracken has a solution—the revival of an ancient idea called honor.</p>
<p>BIO: Trained as an anthropologist (Ph.D. University of Chicago), Grant has studied American culture for 25 years. He started the Institute of Contemporary Culture at the Royal Ontario Museum, where he did the first museum exhibit on youth cultures and has taught at the University of Cambridge, MIT, and the Harvard Business School. He is a long-time student of culture and commerce. Many academics prefer to look askance at interactions of culture and commerce. He has explored this theme in two books: Culture and Consumption I,and Culture and Consumption II. He has also looked at how Americans invent and reinvent themselves.  He had explored this theme in two more books: Big Hair and Transformations: identity construction in a contemporary culture. A student of American culture. Plenitude published in 1997 looked at the new explosive growth of contemporary culture. In Flock and Flow, he shows how contemporary culture and commerce change. Two years ago, he published a book called Chief Culture Officer with Basic Books that argues that culture now creates so much opportunity and danger for the organization that need senior managers who focus on it full time. He is hoping this will create a new occupational destination for graduates in the arts and humanities. This year Grant is affiliated with the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard.</p>

He was very closely involved in Cuban baseball at the time, and his own son Antonio Castro was the team Trainer.” – David</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Libertarians are underdogs.  The game is rigged against us. The Republican/Democrat duopoly colluded to effectively prevent any 3rd party from winning.</p>
<p>So what should we do? Is it hopeless?  Should we just give up?</p>
<p>The good news: underdogs win all the time.  David beat Goliath.  Washington beat the British Empire.  Trump beat Hillary.  The Viet Cong beat the US military. <br />
 Microsoft beat IBM.  Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson.  Nigel Farage beat the European Union.</p>
<p>It’s these essential lessons that libertarians must learn from  in order to have any semblance of success.  And that’s why today’s guest spent so much time on his awesome article over on Substack, “How Libertarians can Take on the Duopoly and Win”, as today I’m joined by Curt (Libertarian) from Checkmate the State. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have we been here before? Well, maybe not exactly… but close enough!  That’s the argument that today’s guest, Professor Jim Morone makes, and why we should look to the past when trying to figure out what lies ahead.  History also shows us that demographic changes (like Latinos moving right) and arguments about the merit of divided government have been features of our politics since the very beginning.</p>
<p>While the events of today are unprecedented in many ways, boosted by intense tribalism and rampant disinformation, there are examples from our country’s past that we can look to understand the democratic institutions that are, as of now, holding strong.</p>
<p>BIO: James A. Morone is the John Hazen White professor of political science and public policy at Brown University. He is author of two New York Times notable books and the award-winning Hellfire Nation: The Politics of Sin in American History. He has won university-wide teaching awards five times and been elected to the National Academy of Science, Engineering, and Medicine. His most recent book, the recent Republic of Wrath: How American Politics Turned Tribal, From George Washington to Donald Trump, published in September. The New York Times says it “offers a fresh theory to an already sizable pile of explanations for our dismal politics.” Jim lives in New Hampshire</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Aaron Dicken are your hosts for the 187th edition of Boss Hog of Liberty. Zach Burcham runs the board to get us on the air. Hannah Davis is our featured guest.<br />

<p>COVID Vaccines are rolling out. Local front line responders are getting them starting this Friday. Christmas packages are in danger of not showing up, because they are all in warehouses and the system is overwhelmed. Jeremiah is officiating a wedding, but the ordination kit is stuck in USPS hell from Seattle. We talk about how parents are trying to manage the pandemic’s ever changing conditions. Hannah is trying to work full time, travel, and breast feed her daughter. Did you know there is a whole movement of shaming for not doing it right? Hint – Whatever you choose, someone says you are wrong. Learn more than you ever expected to know about feeding infants!<br />

<p>Indiana University is getting hosed by the Big 10, because rules don’t matter if you have money. Who is surprised?  COVID numbers are increasing in Indiana, just as a vaccine is approved. Counties in our area are right at the tipping point of getting to the “red” zone. Finally, we update the story on the Henry County Open door violation complaint. The story continues to develop.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I decided to test out a new app called Stereo with a friend. While it didn’t go totally as planned, Aja and I had a great conversation about developing a new media brand. What does it take to step a foot on the ledge and jump in a creative field? What goes into making a podcast or creative work successful? It was a great look at the psychology needed to launch something new. Follow Aja at @fullmetalratchet on Instagram and Tik Tok, or on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mtini2">Facebook here</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Full-Metal-Ratchet-112641107168416">here</a>. She does wholesome, fun content that is desperately needed in the world at this moment. </p>
<p>I’ll be doing more conversations like this on the Stereo app in the future, so follow me there @chrisspangle. Next time, the comments will work and the audio will be better so it will be a little more interactive. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Turae Dabney of PUP joins us to share their mission. Since its inception in 2008, and the initial project which transformed salvaged roof material from the RCA Dome into bags, wallets, and other products, PUP has been devoted to using design and responsible reuse to make Indianapolis a better place to live – to create the responsible and resilient city of the future. Notable projects since the “Dome Bag Project” include PUP Stops (the transformation of old Bush Stadium seats into seating along IndyGo bus stops throughout the city) and the Amtrak Collection (backpacks, bags, wallets, and accessories made from upcycled leather from Amtrak train seats). At PUP, they’re always on the lookout for innovative and creative ideas and projects that focus on reuse and sustainability. They invite all designers to the conversation and believe we will not be an equitable society until true diversity of thought and design is represented at the table.

<p>Selling the ideas of libertarianism is easy, so long as we’re applying the ideas of libertarianism to the problems the “consumer” has identified.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Secondly, the flagship podcast will shift from We Are Libertarians to The Chris Spangle Show. The network will still be the WAL moniker. Brand confusion became a problem in 2020 because the network and show were named the same thing. With a diverse group of approaches to liberty, each host needs the freedom to share their opinions without being tied to the flagship show. <a href="https://briannichols.fireside.fm/">Brian Nichols</a> and <a href="https://ontherun.fireside.fm/">Remso Martinez</a> especially made significant gains in their audiences, and this change will help their growth by making it clear that this is a collection of opinions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It also benefits my show as I can book more mainstream guests, and our listeners can share the show without people thinking they’re being indoctrinated from the get-go (they’ll find that out later). It also accompanies my new blog at <a href="https://chrisspangle.substack.com/">ChrisSpangle.com</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One small change to the website is that we are no longer blogging or accepting submissions. We are a podcast network, so we are drilling down on that alone. We will still share articles on our social media and sending out the daily Libertarian Aurora email. I will be personally writing at ChrisSpangle.com through Substack. Just a reminder that if someone signs up for the <a href="http://libertarianaurora.com/">Libertarian Aurora</a> in Mailchimp, we add them to the Substack due to the paywall.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>By Vaughn Spargur</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a recent newsletter/article my friend Chris Spangle worried that libertarianism does not have an answer to what he has observed. Specifically that the cities which did not have riots which got out of hand used lots of cops and called in the national guard. It’s not a happy observation. It seems to go against what we libertarians believe and want in a society. For those of us who believe that government is not the solution, but the problem, it is a scary concept to have to consider.<br /><br />In response, I will first point out that “riots”, the way cities respond to them, and the outcomes are not things that can be looked at in a vacuum, but must be looked at in the historical context of the situation. Riots happen for a reason. They do not just materialize out of thin air. Even if we accept the idea that in the current situation the US finds itself, the only way to prevent the riots from doing too much damage is through lots of bodies which are wearing police and national guard uniforms, it does not naturally follow that they are the only possible way to prevent riots from getting out of hand in all situations and contexts. In the current context we have to ask then, what is causing the protests which are sometimes turning into riots? And this is partly where Chris’s fear is found unfounded.<br /><br />The protests occurred because a large enough group of people are fed up with what they believe to be injustice being meted out by the justice system, first at the hands of the police, and in every step afterwards. Since at least in this context, the police are a major cause of the riots, they can’t also be the only way to solve them, unless they change drastically.  While it is true that enough police and NG bodies can mitigate the damage caused by riots, it is a short term solution. Eventually the Guard will have to be sent home, the police will have to get back to their other tasks, and if the source of the problem has not been fixed, the protests and even riots will return when no one is prepared.  Martin Luther once said that “the riot is the language of the unheard”. If we want to stop the riot, we must stop and truly listen to the complaint that has caused so much unrest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So then, if there were no government and therefore no state appointed law enforcement officers, how would the individual small business owner protect himself from a mob intent on committing violence? Would we be dependent on people like Kyle Rittenhouse to show up and protect this business from the looting? No. The fact that Kyle Rittenhouse even felt it necessary to show up to protect businesses is a symptom that the current system failed. A system in which police departments (and other law enforcement) have the monopoly on law enforcement. A great example of how this could work is the founding of the San Francisco Patrol Special Police who were founded by local businessmen to protect their immigrant workers from the abuse of not only anti-immigrant activists but also harassment from the government “law enforcement”. Up until recently this police force was completely separate from the city government and was truly a “private police force”. And because they were paid by the local businessman directly they were much more accountable for the way in which they treated the workers and customers of those businesses. Even today, we see many neighborhoods and storefront areas hiring security companies to help protect their properties. Because our current police forces are government backed and funded through the taxes we pay we cannot change to a different law enforcement organization if we are not satisfied with the one we currently have. This removal of a means to keep the police accountable to the business owners and citizens of an area is one of the reasons we are having the protests (which sometimes spur riots) in the first place!<br /><br />Now would a stateless society always succeed in protecting every person’s property? No. But as we can see now, the current paradigm isn’t working all that well either, and in many cases contributes to the circumstances that create the anger that causes some people to lash out in ways that are not right or helpful. A heavy presence of police/National Guard can only prevent riots in the short term, especially when that same police dept is what the protestors/rioters are most upset about. When we are in the midst of tumult it is hard to look past the here and now for long term solutions. But, if we want to see an end to this cycle of anger, we have to stop and actually listen to the complaints of the unheard.</p>

<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/200" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/200</a></p>
<p>Huge lineup of guests this week. Returning friends of the show, Aaron Dicken, Clay Morgan, Darrin Jacobs, and Corey Murphy all sit in. Clay pitched the idea to the Courier Times Newspaper of a story about how we have very diverse political thoughts but still maintain a friendship. We spend half the show trying to explain that and the other half with Jeremiah being a terrible friend. There are some election updates, and we discover Parler (or is it french, and called Parlay?)</p>
<p>REALLY fun episode! Enjoy and tell your friends.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Americans today don’t trust each other and their institutions as much as they once did.  The collapse of social and political trust has arguably fueled our increasingly ferocious ideological conflicts and hardened partisanship.  But is today’s decline in trust inevitable or avoidable?

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Umoja Partnership is a partnership of many faiths, from different cultures, on two continents, united in our service to change lives by keeping children in school. In Chulaimbo, Kenya, at least 20% of the school-aged children have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS and other diseases. The Umoja Project has developed a compassionate and comprehensive network of care to respond to the needs of these children, ensuring that they stay in school and perform to the best of their ability. Congregations, schools and families from Indiana and the Chulaimbo region of western Kenya are responding to the needs of Chulaimbo’s vulnerable children. Through our shared efforts, a new generation of community leaders is emerging. Visit their website here <a href="http://theumojapartnership.org">http://theumojapartnership.org</a>/.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• “Of Two Evils, Choose Neither” Pastor CH Spurgeon</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Isn’t it ironic that both duopoly parties who sell voters a utopia of</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">perfection, riches, and paradise, still preach that to get there, you must first compromise your morals and accept their largely flawed, or at the minimum highly imperfect candidate.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Does this sound like the starting point for the world they claim to be able to achieve? If you believe so much of your livelihood is dependent on who the President of the United States is, that inherently means that the Office of the President is MUCH too powerful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Unless you believe this is your last ever election on this earth, voting to give the duopoly candidate more power will only leave you with a worse choice 4 years down the line, this is why both parties pitch the line that “This election is too important” to: vote your conscience, express your true voice, reject both parties and stay home, or demand a better choice. So suck it up, hold your breath, vote for their candidate and your life will magically be improved.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• If enough people in any one state vote third-party that that thin Gold line on CNN/Fox/MSNBC says 2%,5%,10%, this wakes up the whole country to the possibility of an alternative and starts a narrative that the duopoly lives in constant fear of, free will and alternatives. Why can’t this be your state, and why can’t you be a part of it? Especially if your state is solidly Red or Blue anyway and your vote will have no impact on the result.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Change takes courage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• A vote belongs to you and not another party. If these two parties do not</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">represent you then an L vote will register as a visible, measurable</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">protest against them. It says “there’s a market for these ideas.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Exit polls are considered the most reliable of all polling. It often shows</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">that a candidate will pull small amounts evenly from the other two parties, but the vast majority of votes are from independents, first-time voters, or re-activated voters that now see an option on their ballot that represents them.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Well let’s define “win”. Win in the sense of receive the most electoral votes in a national Presidential election? No, there is an infinitesimally small chance the Libertarian candidate beats the Republican or Democratic candidate for President. This race is generally viewed as a marketing tool to explain broader libertarian concepts as a result. The best evidence may be the interest of the listener tuning in because it is a Presidential year.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• This being said, the Libertarian Party’s job at a national level as a minority party is to use its support and voice to impact duopoly party policy in a way that expands individual freedoms and limits government interference.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• From this perspective, there are “wins” to be had in working with both parties. On a local level, any candidate can win an election, and given the old adage “all politics is local” it’s crucial to have</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Liberty-minded candidates on a local level to prove our party’s ability to govern.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• There are many Libertarians serving in government in local races. – <a href="https://my.lp.org/elected-officials/">https://my.lp.org/elected-officials/</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• One other benefit of a third party is the impact of a candidate on the eventual victor. For example, in 2012, when Rupert Boneham ran for Governor of Indiana as Libertarian, one of his platform planks was expanding school choice into vocational training. The eventual victor, Mike Pence, tested the idea, it polled well, and he adopted it and ran campaign commercials on it. As governor, he enacted the policy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• Do converted Congressmen count as wins? Justin Amash or Laura Ebke? – Any action that expands awareness of the Libertarian movement, and advances our overall goal of Liberty in our Lifetime is a win. Justin & Laura have had an immeasurable positive impact on our party and that goal, and we hope more sitting representatives and Senators, and local government officials, begin to act their conscience and identify with their true ideology in declaring for the Libertarian Party. The more willing to do it, the more publicly acceptable it instantly becomes. Social proof is a powerful concept.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Woody Myers presents himself as the medical doctor Indiana needs to beat the pandemic. But he’s also quite wealthy and talks very little about how his financial good fortune came to be. One of his jobs was CEO of Corizon Correctional Healthcare, the company once in charge of medical care for prison inmates in Indiana.</p>
<p>Corizon has been accused of abuse and neglect of many inmates over the years, including during Myers’ time as CEO. One family whose daughter was lost under Corizon’s care has sued for justice. They joined Rob Kendall to discuss their heartbreaking story.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the question on the lips of so many of your family and friends. A Presidential Election season is the one time of year your loved ones will allow you to speak about politics without rolling your eyes. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But what happens when you don’t have the answer? We Are Libertarians exists for this crucial moment. We want to prepare you to have answers when talking to others about politics and libertarian ideas. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What are the different arguments made by libertarians around a particular issue? What are our principles? And how can you share this information easily and quickly? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The main show and brand are often in the weeds, long, and discuss multiple angles of a news story. Sometimes we might embarrass you in front of others! It’s a 300 level class, and you need a 100 level class. We wanted to build something optimized for sharing with friends and family. That’s why we made Liberty Explained. </p>



<div class="wp-block-buttons aligncenter is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex"></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This project is for sharing. Change takes courage. It requires us to get out of our comfort zones and share the message so desperately needed for our age. If you won’t, then who will? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have your back and will keep creating the content you need to change hearts and minds effectively. Please keep sharing. 1If you need anything in particular let me know at spangle@wearelibertarians.com. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In Liberty,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chris Spangle</p>

<p> </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• When it comes to the national Presidential debates, they are run by a Bipartisan (again not NON-partisan) Committee on Presidential Debates, formed on the (Bipartisan) National Commission on Elections goal of explicitly “turning over responsibility and sponsorship for the debates to the two major political parties”, again, the duopoly assigns itself control of election “fairness”.</p>
<p> </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• This was in direct response to the 1980 presidential election where third parties took over 8% of the vote and backfired in 1992 when Ross Perot took almost 20% of the popular vote as an Independent.</p>
<p> </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• The CPD is the definition of shady politics, as it sells sponsorships to the major corporate interests, signs secret memorandums of understanding with the duopoly candidates, has confirmed they share questions/topics with campaigns in advance, has 6 secretive donors who no American is able to know the identity of, maintains government tax-exempt status while not doing any of the required non-profit work necessary to retain that title, has detained a major party candidate for 8 hours after she attempted to access the debate stage, and has private, unidentified funding for the constant barrage of lawsuits by Americans who want a fair election.</p>
<p> </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• The best thing to do here is challenging the sponsors, as three major corporate interests ended their sponsorship in 2012 after public pressure due to non-inclusionary tactics preventing third party voices from participating. In 2020, the corporate sponsors include Anheuser-Busch, AARP, The Howard G. Buffett Foundation, The Kovler Fund, The National Governors Association, and Philips.</p>
<p> </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">• The board includes several career government workers, former politicians, corporate and special interest CEOs, former media executives, College Deans & Presidents, and former political party chairs, aka no one with any incentive to ever consider a third-party voice.</p>

<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/196" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/196</a></p>
<p>Huge issues with ballots being requested in Delaware County by a precinct committee-person. The Indiana State Police and Secretary of State’s office are involved in trying to sort out the mess. Jeremiah questions why so many feel the urgent need to vote remotely and early in our rural areas. Are there other agendas at play?</p>
<p>We wrap up our School Board candidate series with Chris Lamb, running for one of the two inside seats. We talk red for ed, priorities, handling the pandemic and more.<br />

<p>• The “NAP” or Non-Aggression Principle is the belief that initiating or threatening any forceful interference against an individual, their property, or their right to liberty is morally wrong. While many libertarians vary on their definition or forceful interference, property, when/how to apply the NAP, and proper responses to an aggressor, the movement is largely built on the defining principle, which boils down to “don’t hurt people and don’t take their stuff”. It is in contrast to Pacifism in that it allows a forceful defense.</p>
<p>• Mary Ruwart in her book Healing Our World calls this the Good Neighbor Policy. “Therefore, our program for peace had two parts: 1. honesty, tolerance, and respect towards others and their property (i.e. refraining from threatening first-strike force, theft, or fraud); and 2. repairing any damage we caused by violating the first part. We will refer to this dual approach of honoring our neighbor’s choice and righting our wrongs as the practice of “nonaggression,” the Good Neighbor Policy, or libertarianism.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A common question asked of libertarians, anarcho-capitalists, and individualist anarchists among others are, “Who will build the roads?” This question is asked under the false pretense that only the government can build the roads. Individuals could easily build and maintain roads and be much more efficient than the government. Pieces on this topic are a dime a dozen. Most of these pieces support free-market roads from a capitalist perspective, but there are socialist (albeit the laissez-faire socialism of Benjamin Tucker) reasons to support them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chief among the reasons for free market roads is that they hurt corporations and help small businesses. A corporation has to ship goods across the country, across multiple roads, across multiple locations each and every day. A small business, on the other hand, can either get something local or only needs to ship something to and from one location. Shipping costs for corporations will skyrocket, causing people to buy from local small businesses who will have lower prices in comparison. New small businesses will also rise up to meet the growing demand for more products.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One criticism of free-market roads is that roads are a natural monopoly. Road companies could raise rates too high. Although I doubt this could happen (at least, in an individualist anarchist society), this would provide a major benefit to the environment. If rates go too high, people could use the bus. The bus could take many people to one location and only have to pay for one vehicle. People would leave their cars at home, significantly reducing carbon emissions. The owner of the road would have to reduce rates to encourage people to use their own cars instead.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In an individualist anarchist society, free-market roads would be owned either by individuals as sole proprietorships, by cooperatives, or by local communities. The road owner could hire an independent contractor to fix and repair the road and hire multiple ones to build new roads. This is because of the prevalence of mutual savings banks, providing low-interest loans to prospective business owners. Few would decide to work for someone else but that’s a paper for another day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the best ways, if not <em>the</em> best way, to crush corporations is to use the free market. Free-market roads do just that and even if tolls were too high then people could use the bus. The competition between the road companies and the bus companies will ensure that prices are low. The free market is the best way to spread wealth equally and give the workers power. That’s why it is the driving force of laissez-faire socialism. Free-market roads ensure that workers are given power, power over their wages and incomes, without ceding that power to a central authority, either a corporation or a government. Free-market roads will punish corporations at small business’ benefit. They are one of the best expressions of laissez-faire socialism as exemplified by Benjamin Tucker.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Healthcare is an endless debate in America, one that gets brought up every few years. Republicans and conservatives have their useless corporate plans to solve this healthcare problem. Democrats and liberals have their own useless government plans. The true solution to this healthcare problem lies not in dependence on corporations nor dependence on government but in independence. We should take healthcare out of the hands of the government and corporations and put it into the hands of the people.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The core of an individualist anarchist healthcare system is health insurance cooperatives. They provide low-cost health insurance and are owned by the patients, not anyone else. <a href="https://www.verywellhealth.com/what-is-a-health-insurance-co-op-2615262">They</a> keep costs low due to having thousands of members and being non-profits. <a href="https://www.healthpartners.com/hp/about/community-engagement/uganda/benefits-of-the-health-coop/index.html">They</a> can also lead to healthier habits with members getting sick less often and they protect members from large costs so they don’t have to borrow money or sell assets to pay for care. Doctors also financially benefit and see improved quality of care at their health centers. Being owned by the patients and non-profits, health insurance cooperatives also cover pre-existing conditions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cooperatives are not the only part of individualist anarchist healthcare. Another key part would be deregulation, making health insurance competitive by having lower costs to entry and making it high quality and low cost. Burdensome regulations cost more than they help. A 2004 <a href="https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/expand-health-coverage-deregulate-health-care">Cato</a> article showed that healthcare regulations cost $339 billion in 2002 but only provided $170 billion in benefits, placing a net burden on society of $169 billion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Occupational licensing reform would be another component of deregulation. <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/opinions/improving-health-care-through-occupational-licensing-reform/">Together</a> with loosening scope of practice rules, it can provide low-cost healthcare without reducing quality. It can also benefit nurse practitioners. Occupational licensing reform overall could benefit workers in other sectors, <a href="https://reason.com/2020/01/15/occupational-licensing-hurts-the-little-guy/">allowing</a> <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/occupational-licensing-who-it-hurts-the-most/">them</a> a lower barrier to enter into the marketplace and decreasing costs (leading to lower prices for goods) by saving Americans $200 billion a year. This would allow the free market to reign, eating away at corporations’ share of the market. This would lead to a society of small businesses, sole proprietorships, and cooperatives; one that is composed of associated producers, not wage slaves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Healthcare is an endless debate, argued for decades. It is time for a solution, one that doesn’t rely on the government or the corporations but one that relies on the people. Individualist anarchist healthcare is that solution. It allows people their independence, their autonomy, and their ability to follow their self-interests without impediment. It allows people their liberty and that’s why it’s a superior system.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Within every organization, movement, and religion there is always a need for people who truly understand the beliefs, platform, and building blocks of the group and who seek to protect them from corruption. Theoreticians, who help guide the intellectual underpinnings of the movement. However, while they are important, it is just as important that this quest for purity does not become a witch-hunt or a contest to see who is the “most pure”. The theoreticians cannot be allowed to demand a purity that does not allow for the praxeological working out of the movement in real life. Having grown up as the son of a very conservative Baptist preacher, and then became one myself, I understand the need for purity and the fight against heresy. However, I have also seen what happens when that quest goes too far. When purity becomes more important than the cause itself, and everyone becomes obsessed with being the “purest believer”, the movement begins to die as it splinters into hundreds of tiny groups all claiming to be the only “true believers”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the fundamentalist (Christian) movement started in the early 20<sup>th</sup> century, it was a very ecumenical movement. There were fundamentalists within almost every major and even minor non-Catholic denomination in the US. Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, and Pentecostals to name a few. There were people from all denominations that were concerned by heresies creeping into their churches that were denying the very basics of what it meant to be a Christian. These fundamentalists then defined what the most basic and necessary beliefs of Christianity were, and bonded together across the denominational lines to take a stand against anything that changed Christianity into something unrecognizable.  It allowed for and understood that there were many differences of belief between denominations that while strongly held were not central to what it means to be a Christian. They called these basic tenants the fundamentals of the faith. And all the other disagreements, while important, did not invalidate one’s identity as a Christian.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, once the fundamentals were agreed upon, the quest for purity did not end. Some of the people involved in the movement were not happy with stopping there. They wanted to be even purer. And so they began to add more and more beliefs to their “fundamentals” until churches began to make the length of a man’s hair an issue worth dividing over. When the fundamentalist movement started, its growth was exponential. They were focused on reaching the world with their message. (the Gospel/the good news). However, churches began to compete against one another, trying to prove that each one was the “purer” church, the better church. And slowly, the focus went from outreach to being the purest. Every year a new heretic was found and cast out from the “real believers”. More and more doctrines were added to the “basic fundamentals” until fundamentalism was no longer about the basic doctrines of Christianity, but was now a labyrinth of legalism and “purity” worried more about what people within the movement thought then reaching people outside with their “good news”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The opposite extreme (throwing out all of one’s beliefs for the sake of outreach) is also dangerous. But, it is important to not let the fear of corruption prevent one from reaching out with the message they feel is the good news. The liberty movement is at such a crossroads now. We must seek to keep a balance between staying true to our core beliefs, to the things we all can agree on, and reaching out to bring more and more people into the liberty fold. Yes, it is important that we not compromise on the core ideas behind libertarianism. But it is just as important that we do not allow our quest for “purity” to make enemies out of those who should be our allies. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I discussed on <a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/459-social-media-breonna-taylor-verdict-amy-coney-barrett/">We Are Libertarians</a> this past week, I’ve been toying with the idea of ending active participation in social media for years now. Still, I love writing and talking to people those thoughts. In short, this is a better space to do what I enjoy doing than on social media. If you appreciate the things I share, follow me here.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As WAL grows, thinking in public becomes more precarious. I’d rather do it with a limited group of interested people that want to participate in a discussion. This service, Substack, would allow me to write what I share on social media and share articles and create easy community threads.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am working through my ideology, and that requires pushback from multiple corners. I encourage you to comment and share thoughts about the items or ideas. Hopefully, we can continue to build a better community of free-thinkers through this project. This is a healthier way to organize political discussions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most posts will be paywalled, but I will give it away free for a while so people can see what it is before joining. The paywall is not JUST a naked grab for cash. It is a security system. Keeping the content private allows others to share their thoughts comfortably. WAL Patrons, past or present, get free lifetime access. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This daily email will be separate from the Libertarian Aurora email. That will continue. </p>

<li>It is both! Libertarianism focuses on extending personal morality and ethics into a societal organization. In other words, we want communities to follow the same rules we were taught as kids: Don’t hit others, don’t take their stuff, and don’t lie or cheat. </li>
<li>Unfortunately, the government is organized around the premise that these things are ok if enough people agree. If voters collectively decide to murder or steal from other individuals with 51% of the vote, then they believe the morality changes. Libertarians don’t. </li>
<li>So enacting these values requires a mindset shift. It requires a mental shift for individuals that have lived under a different paradigm their entire lives. </li>
<li>The more one examines their values through this new way of thinking, the more empowering the ideology becomes. As individuals begin to think about taking responsibility for their own lives and communities, they get excited about the opportunities this new path affords. </li>
<li>One small example of this is the shopping cart. After purchasing items at a store, people will head to their car in the parking lot and unload groceries. Once the cart is empty, a person faces a choice.</li>
<li>They can leave the cart in the middle of the parking spot to inconvenience both the next parker and the employee corralling carts. Or they can put the cart in the corral and maintain order. </li>
<li>Most put their carts away, but some don’t. The market has a fix for these “bad actors.” Most stores employ a coraller. Other stores like Aldis use financial incentives to persuade individuals to act in a responsible manner. </li>
<li>Suppose stores hired an armed security guard to threaten any person not returning the cart. Would this make the relationship between the customer and store more or less tense? Would it cost the store business? The answer is yes. </li>
<li>Government operates this way. It rejects the peaceful path used by an Aldi and monopolizes force. In other words, it puts all other stores out of business or takes them over and standardizes the more violent approach. </li>
<li>Libertarianism advocates for the original peaceful path by reminding individuals of their personal responsibilities, their right to be left alone, and providing solutions to handle complex problems.  </li>
</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Recently, I read a <a href="https://c4ss.org/content/53402">response</a> to my article “<a href="https://c4ss.org/content/53268">The Conservative Anarchist</a>.” It had some fair points and was a fair criticism. One of the main criticisms was that my belief that appealing to the Left was useless would make anarchism more right-leaning. On that, I disagree. I feel that appealing to the Left will be the doom of anarchism. I didn’t go into too much detail in my original piece but here I’m going to explain my justification.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To me, the Left (or, at least, the Mainstream Left) constitutes social democrats, statist socialists, communists, and progressives. State intervention is ingrained in these ideologies. They support nationalization, single-payer healthcare, free college, high taxes on the wealthy, a large welfare state, regulation, and a host of other “big government” ideas. Anarchists can continue appealing to a crowd who views the State as an inherent good but I believe we need to chart a new path.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can’t convince me that Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and Ilhan Omar would drop everything they believe in and support gun rights, abolishing taxes, free-market healthcare, or privatization. If anarchists try appealing to this crowd by adopting their ideas, they’ll end up as part of the crowd. It’s like the pigs in <em>Animal Farm</em> who overthrew the farmer only to slowly become what they fought against. If we try appealing to these groups, we will doom anarchism. At that point, it’s just like pigs in the farmer’s clothes. What’s the difference between them and the other farmers? What would be the difference between anarchism and social democracy or communism or progressivism or statist socialism? If Kevin Carson supports a wealth tax and Elizabeth Warren does too, you tell me what the difference is between the two.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Appealing to the right (that is the libertarians, moderate American conservatives, Appalachian conservatives, and Sovereign Citizens who aren’t racist or homophobic or whatever) would not make anarchism more right-leaning. We share a commitment to liberty and the free market (at least, individualist anarchists do). That gets us in the door. We can promote pro-life anarchism that keeps abortion legal but reduces it through reducing poverty and the like. We also don’t need to drop our belief in socialism. We support private alternatives to public institutions, whether that is through unions of egoists or self-employment or whatever. That allows us to separate ourselves from other, statist socialists. We can’t do this if we appeal to these statist socialists.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I thought Spooky’s piece was a fair criticism. That was my weakest piece with no clear direction. I also admit my definition of conservatism was wrong. I meant Appalachian conservatism and only learned later that Appalachian conservatism was different from American conservatism. However, my point still stands. Appealing to the Left is a losing battle. If we water down anarchism to appeal to these leftists, what would be the difference between us and them? What’s the difference between pigs in the clothes of the farmer and the other farmers?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts for the 176th edition of Boss Hog of Liberty. Chris Guffey makes it sound awesome on the producers desk. Rob Kendall and Zachary Burcham join today as guests.</p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/193" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/193</a></p>
<p>After a surprise week away the crew is back! Donald Rainwater is surging in the polls in the race for Governor. We detail the career of Eric Holcomb and why the environment has been so successful for the Rainwater Campaign. We officially look at this race as a toss up with just over a month to go.</p>
<p>Washington has entered full crazy mode after the passing of Justice Ginsberg, and we talk through what “should” be getting done. Jeremiah reminds everyone that if the Republicans gave Merrick Garland a hearing and simply voted against him in 2016, everything would have been much smoother right now.<br />

<p><strong>What is the single greatest thing about liberty?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>This answer probably varies for every individual, but mine (Chris Spangle) is the beauty of spontaneous order. Order comes from markets adjusting to the needs of individuals as judged by the price system (or what someone will pay for something). This order is displayed by geese flying in a V or people managing a roundabout without incident. </li>
<li>The classic parable of the efficiency of the marketplace is Leonard Reed’s I, Pencil. A pencil is made up of many parts from around the world to solve a simple problem: the need to write things down. No one person invented the pencil. It developed over time with each generation evolving and improving it. </li>
<li>Men and women around the world contribute cedar, lacquer, graphite, ferrule, factice, pumice, wax, and glue. They add the labor necessary to make it work. Numerous people are involved in the process, including people like the sweeper in the factory and the lighthouse keeper guiding the shipment into port. </li>
<li>He writes: </li>
<li>“There is a fact still more astounding: The absence of a mastermind, of anyone dictating or forcibly directing these countless actions which bring me into being. No trace of such a person can be found. Instead, we find the invisible hand at work.</li>
<li>The lesson I have to teach is this: Leave all creative energies uninhibited. Merely organize society to act in harmony with this lesson. Let society’s legal apparatus remove all obstacles the best it can. Permit these creative know-hows freely to flow. Have faith that free men and women will respond to the Invisible Hand. This faith will be confirmed.”</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>What is the greatest flaw of liberty?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The greatest flaw I have found is two-fold: </li>
<li>It is a pretty big paradigm shift to ask people to trust their fellow man in a market-based system, especially in a low trust society. </li>
<li>Libertarians, like all humans, are imperfect messengers and often fail at communicating the message in a way that helps close that trust gap.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kevin Carson and I had a tiny Twitter fight on the wealth tax (taking place a few days ago as of August 21, 2020). He defended such an anti-individualist and authoritarian measure and I criticized it. Twitter, however, is not the place for discussion (seeming to be nothing but a swamp of radicalism) and here I shall disprove the idea that a wealth tax is in any way beneficial to workers or the poor or to the nation as a whole.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first major problem with a wealth tax is quite obvious. If such a tax were implemented, the wealthy would abandon the country and take their money and businesses elsewhere. This would lead to mass poverty and hurt hundreds of thousands or even millions of families. In a 2006 Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/2006/07/16/old-money-new-money-flee-france-and-its-wealth-tax/49ac2ec7-c1b2-423e-a89b-699750275cd4/">article</a> on France’s experimentation with a wealth tax showed that it led to capital flight. The French tax raised $2.6 billion a year, but cost the economy $125 billion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’d like to see this in action in the US, look at cities affected by white flight. Black people moved to the city hoping to start a new life. White people, fearing the idea of having to live next to someone not of their race, moved away and took their businesses and money elsewhere. The new black residents don’t have the skills to run the now abandoned factories and businesses (and, even if they could, the sheer number of them would be too much to handle) thus leading to widespread poverty and disrepair to infrastructure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second major problem is that it raises too little revenue for it to be effective. <a href="https://www.npr.org/2019/03/01/699261950/why-a-wealth-tax-didnt-work-in-europe">According</a> to the OECD tax economist Sarah Perrett, the wealth tax was ineffective “because many assets were exempt, and wealth taxes were easy to avoid.” Asked about its track record, she responds, “I would say, in general, it hasn’t been great.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How then can we redistribute wealth? Mutual banks privatized currency, deregulation, and the free market. This will allow individuals the means to found their own businesses and have fewer barriers to enter the market. This will allow the raising of incomes and eat away at corporations and their wealth. We see this in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9pthhpd7So">Vietnam</a> and <a href="https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/588250/taco-bell-failed-mexico-takeover">Mexico</a>. In Vietnam, street food is so abundant and cheap that corporations like Burger King and McDonald’s cannot enter the market. In Mexico, tacos are so common and so cheap that Taco Bell could not enter the market. Mutual banks and privatized currency will allow individuals the ability to borrow the money to fund a startup. Deregulation will allow the coat of doing business to be low. This will create so much competition that no corporation could survive and there would be better products, cheaper products, and lower prices. This will be like the situation in Vietnam and Mexico but across all sectors of the economy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My friend believes in authority, not liberty. His belief that the free market cannot redistribute wealth is proof he is a statist dressed in anarchist clothes. The wealth tax would create job loss and result in the decimation of the American economy. Just because my colleague has a Wikipedia page doesn’t mean he is right.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I mentioned in “An Individualist Feminism” that if wealth was universal then abortion would be rare beyond medical reasons. I have no doubt that we can reduce abortions significantly without the need for statist intervention. Numbers vary but abortions for medical reasons account for <a href="https://savethestorks.com/2017/05/real-reasons-women-abortions/">4%</a> to up to <a href="https://www.verywellhealth.com/reasons-for-abortion-906589#:~:text=Common%20Abortion%20Reasons.%201%20Not%20financially%20prepared%3A%2040,or%20non-prescription%20drugs%2C%20alcohol%2C%20or%20...%20More%20items">12%</a> of total abortions done. Most abortions are due to being unable to afford to provide for the child or because of not being ready or something like that. Those are reasons that can be eliminated. We can make sure those reasons aren’t reasons anymore. The ideas mentioned here should reduce abortions significantly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first thing we must do if our goal is to get rid of abortions is to eliminate poverty. Mutual savings banks will allow the poor and middle class to launch their own startups, create jobs, increase incomes, lower prices, raise wages, and more. Women could start their own businesses and save a little each day. Then, if they get pregnant, they can have their own paid leave. Being their own bosses, they could determine their own hours and take breaks whenever they need them. They could also have their children close by and still run their business, shutting down when they need to.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also a case of women who work for wages. I believe that mutual banks, among others, would lead to a society where self-employment would be the majority. However, some will want to work for wages. For these women, there could be a paid family plan paid for through voluntary taxation. It would be available to any woman and would be distributed by charities, mutual aid groups, women’s organizations, churches, etc.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The second thing that is essential to reducing abortion is providing contraception and sex ed. For contraception, the competition between so many companies could make it extremely cheap. There could also be groups that provide funding for schools to provide teens with free condoms and such. Now, for sex ed, we could have community-run schools or private micro-school sole proprietorships (a one-room schoolhouse owned and operated by one person, the teacher) and they could decide how to teach sex ed. Community-run schools (run by teachers, parents, and with input from students) would keep out anyone who supports abstinence-only (as one voice alone could not alter the whole school’s curriculum) and if the micro-school is teaching it then just change schools or use online schools.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is okay to be opposed to abortion. It is okay to think abortion is murder (as Dorothy Day did). It is not okay to want the State to intervene. Government intervention always hurts more than it helps. Statist intervention in abortion creates back-alley abortion and that hurts women and jeopardizes their lives. The State takes away individualism and replaces it with collectivism that does nothing but destroys. The solution to abortion lies in granting women their individualism and allowing them the opportunity to live their lives according to their will, which is to allow them to pursue their self-interests. Only then can we truly be pro-life.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Society has many vices like alcoholism, prostitution, the use of unsafe drugs, etc. The State has made these vices crimes thus ensuring the proliferation of such societal diseases. Liberals and conservatives believe the cure to such ailments lies in the hands of the ever-expanding government. Many Christians have been duped into believing the State can create a moral society. The true solution to the problems of our society lies in liberty, not authority. If we allow all to pursue their self-interests then we will see a moral society, a stateless society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This concept, that liberty cures vices, is an old idea, showing up in the works of the egoists like Tucker. In State Socialism and Anarchism, Benjamin Tucker wrote, “Interference with another’s business is a crime and the only crime, and as such may properly be resisted. In accordance with this view, the Anarchists look upon attempts to arbitrarily suppress vice as in themselves crimes. They believe liberty and the resultant social well-being to be a sure cure for all the vices. But they recognize the right of the drunkard, the gambler, the rake, and the harlot to live their lives until they shall freely choose to abandon them.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How can liberty cure these societal ills? It is human to better oneself. The vices are proliferated through poverty, itself a disease that liberty can cure. If everyone had universal wealth (achievable through mutual banks, deregulation, occupancy, and use, privatized currency, and the free market) then we would see dramatic drops of crime, prostitution, drug use, abortion, and others.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let’s explain why. Take prostitution for example. Now, I have no problem with it, but I would not pay for one or anything like that. This is mostly out of a belief that by using the services of one I would have diminished my worth in the eyes of a future girlfriend or boyfriend. This does not apply to the prostitute themselves as I feel it’s a rather genius and lucrative business for those who decide to do it (thus I feel it should be legal and only for those who want to do it and don’t need to). Also, you can find and have sex for free, so I’d consider it a waste of money.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anyway, one of the main reasons women (and some men) turn to prostitution is out of a need to escape poverty. Many in many countries are<a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J134v09n03_04"> </a><a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J134v09n03_04">ethnic minorities</a> in impoverished neighborhoods who lack an education. If the neighborhood had, say, a mutual bank then they could borrow money, start a business, and raise their incomes. This business will create jobs and wealth, allowing the new business owners to have the money to get an education and providing them the skills to expand their business or create new ones. This new business will lead to a chain reaction as the business buys components to build its product or products, leading to new businesses popping up to provide those components and new jobs to satisfy the growing demand for those components. If it’s a store, it’ll buy its products from factories or farms and that will lead to the same scenario. The store will start a chain reaction where new factories and farms will pop up to provide these products and jobs will be created.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Drug use is caused by those in poverty looking for an alternative method to satisfying their need to escape the black hole that is poverty. Lack of education prevents them from getting a job so they resort to selling drugs. It’s the same situation as prostitution. The many sellers of drugs increase the prevalence of drugs in the neighborhood and the likelihood of use. The poorest areas have the highest drug use rates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Putting prostitutes in prison won’t help their situation. Making drugs illegal won’t help end drug use rates. Demonizing and making safe drugs like LSD, DMT, peyote, magic mushrooms, and ibogaine illegal really won’t help. Ibogaine can cure <a href="https://drugabuse.com/how-does-ibogaine-treat-opiate-addiction/">opioid</a> addiction and LSD <a href="https://alcoholrehab.com/drug-addiction-treatment/lsd-helps-alcoholics-quit-addiction/#:~:text=Research%20suggests%20that%20LSD%20night%20be%20good%20for,effect%20may%20last%20as%20long%20as%20six%20months.">alcohol</a> addiction. Making these things illegal doesn’t help anyone. It hurts people, it separates families and destroys communities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If Christians want a moral society then the answer lies not in authority, but liberty. Authority creates the poverty that fuels these vices. Authority profanes morality and curtails the self-interests and liberty of individuals. This prevents people from bettering themselves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">True liberty is liberty from poverty and the State. If we allow people this liberty and grant the opportunity to pursue their self-interests, providing them the means to do so, then we will create a moral society. We will create a society free of most crimes. This idea is key to attracting Christians, Christian fundamentalists, conservatives (at least, the Appalachian ones), and even other religious people like Muslims to the anarchist cause. A free society is a just society and a just society is a moral society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">No one needs to force his views upon others. In an individualist anarchist society, everyone is achieving his goals without interfering in another’s (as the natural law states), leading to peace and good in the world. We need a cure to these societal diseases. Authority is not that cure. Liberty, however, is. Whether you are Christian or secular or religious or atheist or Muslim or Hindu or Buddhist, liberty benefits all.</p>

<p><strong>What is Liberty?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Liberty is the freedom to choose to do or not do a thing without interference from outside forces. </li>
<li>The less outside interference in a decision, the freer we are. </li>
<li>The most common form of interference being threats of violence or force if the wrong choice is made. </li>
<li>Liberty is often associated with the idea of free will, which is defined by Wikipedia as “the ability to choose between different possible courses of action unimpeded.” </li>
</ul>
<p><em>So What is the difference between Freedom vs. Liberty?</em></p>
<p>They are often considered synonyms that mean the same thing. Let’s look at the definitions of the words thanks to Wikipedia:</p>
<p><strong>Freedom:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Freedom, generally, is having the ability to act or change without constraint. In philosophical discourse, freedom is discussed in the context of free will and self-determination, balanced by moral responsibility. (Wikipedia)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Liberty</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Broadly speaking, liberty is the ability to do as one pleases. It is a synonym for the word freedom. </li>
<li>In modern politics, liberty is the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one’s way of life, behaviour, or political views. </li>
<li>Sometimes liberty is differentiated from freedom by using the word “freedom” primarily, if not exclusively, to mean the ability to do as one wills and what one has the power to do; and using the word “liberty” to mean the absence of arbitrary restraints, taking into account the rights of all involved. </li>
<li>In this sense, the exercise of liberty is subject to capability and limited by the rights of others. Thus liberty entails the responsible use of freedom under the rule of law without depriving anyone else of their freedom. </li>
<li>Freedom is more broad in that it represents a total lack of restraint or the unrestrained ability to fulfill one’s desires. For example, a person can have the freedom to murder, but not have the liberty to murder, as the latter example deprives others of their right not to be harmed. Liberty can be taken away as a form of punishment. In many countries, people can be deprived of their liberty if they are convicted of criminal acts.</li>
</ul>
<p>There’s a third word we’d add to this mix, and it is “autonomy.” From Merriam-Webster.com:</p>
<p>Definition of autonomy</p>
<ul>
<li>1: the quality or state of being self-governing</li>
<li>2: self-directing freedom and especially moral independence</li>
<li>3: a self-governing state</li>
</ul>
<p>Ok. Enough philosophizing. What does this actually mean to you? Liberty and Freedom are the goal for libertarians. Individuals should be able to govern themselves because the individual knows how to plan their life in coordination with others better than one person could govern another. We reject the idea that one person can constrain another’s free will without their consent. Currently, the governments that we live under limit our ability to be truly free. </p>
<p>This does not mean that one can do whatever they wish. There will still be laws and consequences in a truly free society. The difference is that each person actively participates in the crafting of those rules. Murder, fraud, theft and other crimes would still carry penalties as they violate the free will of others.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Republicans typically run on a call for law and order. Is it law and order when there’s riots in Kenosha and Portland and Milwaukee? Is it law and order when poverty exists and its ill effects trickle down into our families and our communities, creating crime and a sense of dread and hopelessness? Is it law and order when women have to resort to prostitution to get by and men resort to violence and drugs to stay afloat? The answer is no. This is not law <em>and</em> order. This is law, not order. What we need is order, not law.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By “order, not law” I am referring to government law. Government law is what causes disorder and chaos. When there is government law, there is no peace. What we need is natural law which I wrote about in “Defense in a Stateless Society.” If the natural law is allowed to exist untouched, then there will be order and peace and liberty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Government law puts women in prison for prostitution, keeping mothers and daughters away from their families; puts drug users in prison, preventing them from getting help for their addiction and could make it worse; prevents the little guy from making it in the world, ensuring the continued domination of corporations. When riots happen because of government law, it always increases power with new laws. When more start, it demands more power. Did the first set of new laws not stop this? It wasn’t able to prevent riots the first time. How can we be sure these new laws will help? We can’t because it will never be satisfied and there will always be new laws because the old ones just never seem to be enough.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The police follow government law, not natural law. They’ll always be on its side. That’s why you don’t see cops who are anarchists or libertarians. The police will even ally with right-wing militias who also embrace government law. Now, this does not mean police are bad. We need police. However, we need private police (as written in “Defense in a Stateless Society”). These police will follow the natural law and there will be so many of them that the competition will keep prices low and quality high. This will lead to cops who won’t kill or act out of line, unlike the monopoly that is the public police.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Law <em>and</em> order are not possible. There can be law. There can be order. There can never be law and order. Government law is the antithesis of order and if there is no order, there is no liberty. We need to emphasize order, not law. It is a rebuke of that tired idea of law and order. It is a belief in true liberty. It is a belief that we need natural law. We don’t need unnatural, government law.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I ran a Senate campaign against Dan Coats and met him a couple of times. He was incredibly decent to us when he didn’t have to be. I am friendly with many people that worked for him when he was a Senator from my home state, and they speak to his character. He is not a bomb-throwing partisan and is a classic Reagan Conservative.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He and I have vastly different views on the size and role of government, given that he sat at the endpoint of intelligence gathering powers so considerable that I consider it the greatest threat to our liberty. He has been in meetings I’ll never attend, and he knows more than I do. These two pieces of information tell me that he is someone I ought to listen to, mostly when we agree.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The most urgent task American leaders face is to ensure that the election’s results are accepted as legitimate. Electoral legitimacy is the essential linchpin of our entire political culture. We should see the challenge clearly in advance and take immediate action to respond.” <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/17/opinion/2020-election-voting.html">See his opinion piece on the upcoming election here</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is no greater danger to our way of life like losing the legitimacy of our elections. History shows that it is the beginning of the end if we let that go for conspiracy theories. There is no going back.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every voter must take the process seriously and doggedly track their vote. Get engaged with the process and learn about the system that has so much influence over your life. Reality is different than what the media portrays.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He also said this about the President:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“<a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/09/15/woodward-book-former-intelligence-director-dan-coats-concluded-would-useless-speak-out-against-donal/5803115002/">Coats believed Trump has no moral compass</a>, couldn’t shake the suspicion that Trump must be beholden to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and that he – along with Mattis and Tillerson – thought Trump was an “unstable threat to their country.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I gave Trump the benefit of the doubt for many years due to the media’s unwillingness to let him govern. I read all the books like Woodward’s Fear and shrugged. Aren’t the leftist media and Democrats supposed to oppose a Republican President? Out-group criticism is unpersuasive.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In-group criticism from Coats, Tillerson, Mattis, Bolton, Kelly, Elizabeth Neumann, Miles Taylor, and other traditional Republicans that risk something by speaking out are persuasive. “Attacks” from the media leaks from his staff. How many of his people should we listen to before we take it seriously? When Paul O’Neill trashed George W. Bush through the book The Price of Loyalty, it was easy to write that off as a disgruntled employee. What about nearly every employee from former friends like Omarosa and Anthony Scaramucci to long-time Republicans like Coats and Bolton willing to give him a shot?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are a lot of things he pushes that are right. The press gaslights people. Social media shouldn’t censor the right. We shouldn’t be involved in foreign wars. I liked Gorsuch and the tax cuts. I was willing to not criticize the outrageous stuff because I liked some of the policies. But then Trump veered the bus towards QAononopolis while adopting a domestic policy that resembled John McCain’s foreign policy. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">2020 was the year that he began validating critics. He can’t govern and won’t learn. The evidence has reached levels that the “fake news” and “deep state” arguments can’t erase. The unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans to COVID-19 due to his CDC and FDA’s failures should be enough to disqualify him from public office, let alone the lyin3g and cover-ups. But then add in the gassing of citizens for a political ad, the desire to invade American cities, the stoking of racial division, adding to the debt double what Obama added in 8 years, proposing a health care plan through executive orders, and… well, you get the idea.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At a certain point, I had to eat humble pie and realize I got Trump wrong. He’s not just an incompetent goof that never got a fair shake but makes us laugh. Donald Trump is what his detractors say he is. He’s a big government progressive from the right with fascist tendencies. He confirms it daily, but his supporters laugh it off as trolling. At a certain point, I had to stop laughing along with him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am unhappy with my choices for President, and I will be voting for Jorgensen as a visible protest against the power held by our current Federal Government. As I scroll through my feed, I see so much latent support for President Trump. A libertarian might get grief for supporting Trump, but endorsing Biden would be disqualifying to so many. Bill Weld’s mere “vouching” of Clinton forever tarnish his goodwill in the movement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Given the incompetence, corruption, and abuse of power, I fail to see how his re-election is a win for liberty. Biden offers the same fight as the last 100 years: big-government progressivism. That’s a muscle that libertarians know how to exercise. Trump offers a new seduction for statism from the right, and many libertarians are failing to fight off the siren songs of his propaganda.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reality is that any libertarian policy came in the first two years when adults were still in the building, but that’s over. The C team always staffs a President’s second term and much less gets done. In this case, the F team will show up, and America will continue to slide into a banana republic. That might excite the collapsatarians, but <a href="https://independentpoliticalreport.com/2011/01/libertarian-party-of-indiana-exhibits-surprising-strength/">liberty is more attractive in times of stability</a>. Voters are more likely to experiment with new ideas when their bank accounts are full. They’re more likely to cling to the state when their stomachs are empty.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Zac Efron made his splash in the docuseries genre at the end of the summer of 2020, having starred and produced in Netflix’s “Down to Earth”.  </p>
<p>The series promised to “explore healthy, sustainable ways to live”, which piques the interest of the growing number of eco-conscious, young people.  However, it is in the solutions presented by Efron and the series that raises the concern of today’s guest, as today I am joined by noted American author, energy theorist, and industrial policy pundit, Alex Epstein.</p>
<p>Alex is the author of New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels.  Alex joins the show to help highlight some key flaws in the approach Efron takes in his approach to offering top-down, government solutions to various problems identified throughout the series. </p>
<p>The first two episodes we focus on specifically dig into the energy sector (Iceland) and clean drinking water (France), where it is argued that government policies have been net positives for those respective communities and that their models can be applied here in the same manner. </p>
<p>Alex takes a different approach, offering a thoughtful rebuttal to the solutions offered by the series… but you’ll have to listen to find out more!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><mark style="color:#00b1fd" class="has-inline-color">House Debate over HEROES Act and impact over Elections</mark></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In May 2020 the “Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act” or HEROES Act was introduced to Congress. The HEROES Act was created in order to make emergency appropriations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and was built off of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The CARES Act was passed in March 2020 as part of the economic relief package. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some changes regarding mail-in voting were also included in the HEROES Act. There were concerns by the Republican Party on how this bill would effect voting during the House debate. In the House debate, Republicans often accused the Democratic Party of changing the election laws because it benefits them. Representative Robert Aderholt from Alabama argued that the election mandates would allow for voter fraud and ballot harvesting.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The House of Representatives defines ballot harvesting as “the practice in which political operatives collect absentee ballots from voters’ homes and drop them off at a polling place or election office.” Representative Rodney Davis of Illinois said it created more of a federal election rather than serve the American people. The HEROES bill does provide alternative methods of returning ballots such as allowing another person to return a ballot. The bill affirms that a state,<strong> “</strong>may not put any limit on how many voted and sealed absentee ballots any designated person can return to the post office, a ballot drop off location, tribally designated building, or election office”.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also no effect by the bill on ballots submitted by overseas voters and absent military.  Davis shared the similar concerns expressed by Representative Aderholt, as it would leave the ballots unchecked and open to fraud, as well as the timing of new election rules. Both Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Doug LaMalfa of California addressed the matter of collecting ballots from other voters’ homes as it would seem like a form of coercion.   </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Democratic Party argued that they wanted to find a way to find voting safe and accessible. Democratic members of the House like Representative Brenda Lawrence of Michigan claimed that it was a measure used to make sure individuals could vote during the pandemic.  Representative Stony Hoyer of Maryland stated, “It protects our Democracy by allocating additional resources to protect the 2020 census and secure our elections, as well as ensuring the postal service provides its essential service.”  In May 2020, the HEROES Act moved on to the Senate with hearings being held in the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.   </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><mark style="color:#05b0f9" class="has-inline-color">Senate Hearing on the new Postmaster General</mark> </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On June 2020, Louis Dejoy was appointed the 75th Postmaster General of the United States, by the bipartisan postal board of Governors. He was chosen after the last Postmaster General Megan Brennan retired. Dejoy’s qualifications include more than 35 years as the chairman and CEO with New Breed Logistics, as well as a contractor with the US Postal Service. The Democrats accused Dejoy of implementing delays in the mail, and that the board that appointed him was Republican-controlled.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An investigation was launched by Senator Gary Peters from Michigan, where operational changes were implemented by causing delays. During Dejoy’s hearing by the House oversight committee, Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York suspected that he is “doing exactly what President Trump said that he wanted on National Television, using the blocking of funds to justify sweeping changes to Hobble mail-in voting.”  Earlier this week, Representative Maloney served a subpoena to Postmaster Dejoy and Board of Governors Duncan, over documents that were requested by the House and Senate.  Dejoy’s subpoena requested the following documents by September 16th, 2020:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“All documents and communications drafted, sent, or received by Postmaster General<br />DeJoy after June 15, 2020, in person, over the telephone, or through emails, texts, or any<br />other forms of communications, whether through official or personal technology<br />platforms, with individuals who are or were associated in any way with … The Trump<br />campaign or any other political organization, including employees, advisors, consultants,<br />and intermediaries, regardless of whether they were paid or unpaid or acting in a formal<br />or informal capacity, the dates of each of these communications, and a detailed<br />description of the content of each conversation.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><mark style="color:#09abf1" class="has-inline-color">The Post Office</mark> <mark style="color:#2cb3ed" class="has-inline-color">in the Constitution</mark></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the House Oversight Committee Hearing, Democratic Representative Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts cited the mail as a constitutional right. Representative Lynch also stated that Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers, was the first Postmaster General.  Article 1 section 8 clause 7 states that “The Congress shall have Power to….establish Post Offices and post Roads.”  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Constitution puts Congress in charge of the Post Office.  However, the US Postal service is not run by Congress but by the Federal Government. The Federal Government became involved due to the Post Office Act of 1792. The history section of the Mission Statement of the United States Postal Service states, “The Act included provisions to facilitate freedom of the press, the privacy of personal correspondence, and expand the nation’s physical infrastructure, all vital to our nation’s growth and prosperity.”  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a result, a lot of time and money is being spent on the Postal Service. Presently there are 200 federal laws enforced by the Postal Inspection Service. Currently, the Post Office has a $71.1 billion operating revenue. The US Postal service also reports that they have the largest retail network that is “bigger than McDonald’s, Starbucks and Walmart combined,” with a revenue of $12.7 billion.   </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some of the adjustments that had to be made currently failed to make it to Congress.  Representative Gerald Connolly of Virginia also claimed that some of the changes that Dejoy wanted to make were very untimely due to the pandemic and election year. He also argued that the changes that Dejoy wanted to implement were not brought before Congress. Robert Duncan who was a chair with the US Postal service board admitted that there were some changes with the postal service that had to be made with modernization. Duncan had claimed that he had tried to contact Congress multiple times about the changes that had to be made.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><mark style="color:#14adee" class="has-inline-color">Delays and Recovery</mark></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dejoy testified that some of the changes he wanted to make were not supposed to cause delays and that there has been some recovery with the mail volume being down 15%.  He also argued that there should be a recovery system for some of the changes that are being made with the postal service it was just taking a while. However, Representative Maloney argued that some of the delays in her district of New York were still occurring.   </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not only were there concerns about the current changes taking place, but how future legislation can affect mail-in voting. Representative Jody Hice, a Republican from Georgia mentioned the HEROES act during the oversight hearing, “In the HEROES Act is the requirement that both the states cannot be involved in requiring voter ID and so we are going to have tens of millions of ballots sent out across the country to many people that are perhaps deceased or have moved into states, are not going to be able to have any notoriety if the Democrats have their way and then we will have the ballot harvesting taking place.” Dejoy testified that the post office was going to put in two weeks of overtime before the election deadline to ensure the ballots do get delivered<strong>.</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><mark style="color:#0aa5e8" class="has-inline-color">Mail-in Ballots and Election Deadlines with no Changes in Legislation</mark></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During his Senate hearing, Dejoy stated that there will be no changes in election policy with mail-in voting. This can be a challenge because mail-in ballots are anticipated to occur more than usual because of COVID-19. Legislation has also not taken into consideration the deadlines with the mail-in ballots. Chairman Maloney introduced the “Delivering for America Act” that would help protect the operations and organizational structure of the US Postal Service, “At this juncture in our nation’s history, when the number of Americans voting by mail for this Presidential election is expected to more than double from the last, Congress must protect the right of all eligible citizens to have their vote counted.” This Act would prohibit any changes being made with the postal service on January 1, 2020, until the COVID-19 pandemic ends.<strong>      </strong></p>

<p>Massive menu changes at Taco Bell, Jeremiah is finally upset. Dakota reveals his 3 a day habit of cheesy burritos with extra disturbing on the side. Move developments on the Henry County government front. Finally, we get more virus stories…Either 200 people or a quarter million people got it in Sturgis South Dakota. Jeremiah thinks universities are going to throw students off campus to protect their own revenue, and IU made national news for someone tying a couple boats together at Lake Monroe and having a good time.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’re going back to where we started on today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, as today I am joined by the first “big guest” on the show (from way back from Episode 7 in Feb. 2018), Dean Clancy!</p>
<p>Dean returns to the show to discuss a venture he’s been working on over the past few years, with the end goal of lowering the cost of healthcare.  </p>
<p>Dean proposes that the best means to get the ball rollings is via “HSAs for All” which would “give every American access to affordable, high-quality health care by giving every American access to a tax-free Health Savings Account owned and controlled by the patient.”</p>
<p>Listen as Dean outlines how an HSA model would work, the benefits of an HSA for All approach, how we actually go about implementing the proposal.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The past few weeks have changed the entire tenor of the 2020 election.  In what was shaping to be landslide victory for Biden, an air of uncertainty has taken hold of the political winds, as ANTIFA and violent rioter and looters take to the streets of Americas largest cities, causing massive mayhem and destruction.</p>
<p>These mobs have gotten more aggressive in recent weeks, with shootings taking place on the regular.  Senator Rand Paul and his wife were assailed by a mob while walking back to their hotel from the White House, despite Rand Paul being one of Black Lives Matter’s best allies on the right.  </p>
<p>It was this final act that started to change the minds of voters who were considering the Libertarian candidate in Dr. Jo Jorgensen as an alternative to Trump vs. Biden, with one such voter being that of Austin Petersen!  </p>
<p>Austin joins the show to discuss the shift he has experienced over the past few weeks in response to the riots/Paul’s being harassed, and why, yes, he’s seriously considering voting for Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Tune in to learn why he’s reconsidering!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the police, the Black Lives Matter movement received a much needed added boost back into the national conversation in recent months.  </p>
<p>However, as peaceful protests have more recently been descending into rioting and looting at the hands of bad actors who are co-opting the BLM movement (like ANTIFA, looters, etc…), we’ve watched the positive sentiments towards BLM wane, meaning meaningful criminal justice reform is getting more and more difficult.</p>
<p>Joining the program is friend of the show, Brad Polumbo!  Brad has been doing great work in digging into economics and criminal justice reform, and today, Brad joins the show to discuss how the riots have not only set predominantly minority communities back by decades, but have truly damage the ability to move forward some substantive criminal justice reform.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I see many anarchists and liberals call for abolishing or defunding the police. In these stressful times, they are letting emotions get in the way of reason. While I am critical of how our statist police are, I am also critical of these solutions the mainstream Left propose or lack thereof. A society without police is a society without laws and a society without laws is in perpetual chaos. Anarchism is the abolition of the State. It is not the abolition of law entirely.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If we didn’t have police anyone could kill, steal, rape, pillage, and plunder like barbarians. The people cannot be expected to settle their disputes by themselves, especially those that involve violence. There must be a mediator. CHAZ proves this. CHAZ was a <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/06/20/my-terrifying-5-day-stay-inside-seattles-autonomous-zone/">crime-ridden</a> disaster without police and increased Seattle’s <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/07/02/seattle-sees-525-percent-spike-in-crime-thanks-to-chop-mayor-durkan/">crime rate</a> by 525%. Multiple <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/crime-law/2020/06/18/guest-post-defunding-or-disbanding-police-is-dangerous-idea-if-done-hastily/?outputType=amp">criminologists</a> and <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/12/defund-police-violent-crime/?arc404=true">sociologists</a> have shown that police are needed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, I believe our modern, State police are a detriment to society through their wanton violence and excessive force. I do not hide my dislike of them. However, I know that police are needed. We must find a way to have anarchist police and we have had such a way for over a century. They are Tucker’s private defense agencies that I wrote of in my first <a href="https://c4ss.org/content/53102">piece</a>. Benjamin Tucker called for privatizing the police but they’re not the same as the Rothbardian private defense agencies. These would defend your property from being invaded. They would make sure that once you left your property it would still be yours when you returned. They wouldn’t be judge, jury, and executioner. They would offer the best service at the lowest cost.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In an unpublished piece, I wrote that conservatives and libertarians only support the opposite of what liberals believe because they just want to trigger them even if it makes no sense. That piece was referring to how conservatives and libertarians believe more guns reduces crime as opposed to the liberals’ belief that less guns reduce crime (both are wrong in that reducing poverty reduces crime and guns are neutral, neither a cause of crime nor a reduction). It seems liberals and anarchists have begun to do the same but with police. Conservatives love police so liberals and anarchists want to abolish them to trigger them. Both come out of not logic or reason but a malice that holds that the other side is always wrong and anything they support you must support the opposite. It’s illogical and, as anarchists, we should be better.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We must remember that society is an organism and it has cells (communities in this case) and those cells have organelles that help the cells function and keep society alive and moving forward. Benjamin Tucker recognized this in his call for private defense agencies. We must have private or community-owned versions of the organelles of society like police and prisons and fire departments. Calling for their abolition is like saying you want to abolish roads. We can privatize the roads and the police. If you get rid of one of the organelles of a society, the whole thing falls apart. If all of your cells lacked a mitochondria, you’d be dead. Likewise, if society lacked police, it’d be dead. Anarchy is order. Getting rid of police breeds not order but chaos. That is nothing close to anarchism.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the first 45 minutes, Mark Blyth explains why were are going through global turmoil. The rest are solutions I disagree with because they will add to the unrest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Long story short, the transition to a global economy and the internet age was poorly managed due to destructive interventions (as is the result of central planning). This caused resentment amongst different classes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here in America, The middle and upper classes over the past two generations crafted tax, drug, and immigration laws that allowed them to build McMansions while sending the lower economic classes to prison and limiting market access. Only in the last decade has an effort been made to reform education (which was led by Conservatives) to correct this imbalance. As families were destroyed and policing became more militarized, resentment grew in communities of color and low-income white areas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, millennials were told, as I was, in high school by guidance counselors that they’d have no problem finding a job upon graduation from college with a salary of $60K a year. We graduated high school in the middle of the 2002 recession. We graduated from college in the middle of the 2008 recession. We entered our peak earning years in the middle of the COVID-19 downturn. Millennials have limited upward mobility because Boomers cannot or will not retire as the cost of living goes up, and medical advancements have people living longer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So you have a highly educated millennial generation that grew up in wealth and are unable to recreate the lifestyle their parents had due to the higher cost of living and a lack of employment opportunities. (Look up the 1830 revolution in France for a parallel.) They’re saddled with massive student debt they can’t repay. You have some communities of color or economically disadvantaged people that have an even harder time accessing job markets for a myriad of reasons. They can include poorer education, criminal records, a lack of knowledge on things like applying to college or filling out resumes, troubled home lives, and other terrible outcomes from the Drug War and 80/90s Crime Bill policies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The comfortable are now faced with the consequences of their political choices since the 1970s by these groups uniting to change the system they see as oppressive and the cause of their misery.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The left rightly blames those bad policies. The right rightly blames the elites that deny they’ve been massively wrong for 50 years. Those elites don’t want those two groups uniting against them, so politicians pit everyone against each other.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have to focus on the root: Bad economic, foreign, and domestic policies that led to alienation, division, and poverty. If the voter didn’t ask the politician to overlegislate, the cop wouldn’t have so many interactions with the public, Blake doesn’t get shot, unrest doesn’t happen, Kenosha shooter never goes on the streets, and two people live. We have to stop arguing over step five in this process.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This talk is a start to the origins of unrest.</p>

And on top of the traditional struggles third party candidates face, our “pick-one” voting systems have only entrenched the “lesser of two evils” in our government, by giving us the same, tired, “red team vs. blue team” battle.  </p>
<p>With legitimate third party candidates (like Dr. Jo Jorgensen), Americans deserve to have more than one choice for the most important position in the land.  </p>
<p>That’s what Aaron Hamlin, founder and executive director of the Center for Election Science, has made his primary goal; to change the way we vote away from our broken “pick-one” voting system, and instead, seek voting systems that encourage more candidates, forcing those seeking elected office having to truly compete in the marketplace of ideas. </p>
<p>Listen as Aaron outlines his voting system vision, the impact that changing our voting systems will have on third party candidates’ electoral success, and the current successes Aaron and team have had in already changing voting systems in major cities (with great success!).</p>

<p>We are officially reliving 1968. And we added a pandemic just for fun. Colleges are shutting down, but they still want to play football. COVID finally got under control enough for sports to come back, but complete civil unrest has sports on the verge of ending for the year. What is going to happen? Is the NBA going to strike? NFL stopped practicing…But what changes are being asked for? </p>
<p>Oh, and there are national conventions for the GOP and the Democrats going on. Does anyone pay attention any longer? And Governor Holcomb says you should wear your mask another month or so…You were still paying attention, right?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Libertarians are beginning to fetishize violence in the name of gun and property rights. At its core, libertarianism is a nonviolent solution to the world’s problems. I have no interest in perverting the ideology to fit the times. An anti-leftist mentality leads people to dehumanize others by collectivizing them. It’s a rejection of individualism. Libertarianism demands empathy and recognizes the dignity of every human being, regardless of political ideology. Don’t become the thing you’ve sworn to destroy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you don’t know anything about guns or gun owners, I didn’t either fifteen years ago. I’ve learned in that time that 99.9999% of gun owners don’t act like a seventeen year-old kid with an AR-15. That fact that one had the ability will make every gun owner examine their own situations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is good because the “gun debate is over” will end up revisited by the public as more instances of vigilante justice take place. BLM has lost a great deal of its public approval because of violence and death. Canonizing this child is a stunningly tone-deaf stance that breeds resentment amongst those ignorant of gun culture by affirming their worst fears about gun owners.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My colleagues call for abolishing prisons which is an idea that, if enacted, would lead to a society in perpetual chaos. Anarchists of all stripes seem to believe that society under anarchism would be some utopia with naturists and vegans and hippies running around collecting flowers and singing Kumbaya. Instead, the results of their ideas would lead to wanton destruction and crime-ridden streets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I understand the reasoning of my colleagues in that prison in our modern, statist society hurts more than it helps. It has a bias towards minorities thanks to our faulty police system and that hurts communities and families (and individuals must have a community and a family to rely on). The State seems to put people in prison for benign reasons. My problem is the idea of abolishing prisons. Instead of returning prisons to the people and reforming them, these anarchists support abolishing prisons entirely. This is an overcorrection and would hurt society as a whole.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I mentioned in my <a href="https://c4ss.org/content/53102">first article</a> the idea of community-owned prisons. These would replace our State-owned prisons. They would be run by non-profits, funded through donations from the local community, and would be staffed by locals. They would be private (not the same as the barbaric corporate prisons we call private) and free market thus being high quality and low cost yet would be community owned (as donations require the non-profit to cater to the needs of the community).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Prison in an individualist anarchist society would only be for murderers. There are Six Crimes that violate the natural law (arson, assault, murder, theft, rape, and pedophilia) and only one requires prison. Some conservatives may be up in arms as that would mean pedophiles would walk free. That’s a key difference between murder and the rest of the Six Crimes. Restitution and compensation can punish the guilty and force them into poverty not to mention the shame that comes with the crime. The victim in each case can be recompensed or repaid. However, murder cannot be repaid. It is a crime that takes away a precious gift that you can’t get paid back. If we abolished prisons then killers could walk free. No one would want to live in such a society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I know defending prisons is unusual for an anarchist. I am prepared to be the bad guy. I expect to be called not-a-real-anarchist or, worse of all, an ancap. I’ve been called that several times despite identifying capitalism as a form of collectivism in my <a href="https://c4ss.org/content/53229">second article</a>. I just believe that we must have practical solutions not radical ideas. I know anarchism is radical, but I’m talking about radical in the sense of being impossible to accomplish. You can’t get Appalachians or Midwesterners or liberals or conservatives or any group to support abolishing prisons.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The natural law and the Six Crimes I mentioned would be a hard sell but there’s some reason behind it. That reason is that a crime isn’t a crime unless it violates another’s property and the punishment should be repayment except for murder. There’s no reasoning behind abolishing prisons. That seems like something the Yippies would call for as a joke in the 1960s. We must recognize that not everyone is a granola girl or hippie who lives out in the forest, foraging for berries and practicing some strange, New Age, pagan religion that worships nature. Anarchism is not utopian. It is a political philosophy like any other. We must recognize that humans are error-prone and that we need a way to deal with these errors.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/wisconsin-braces-more-outrage-protests-wake-jacob-blake-shooting-n1238102">Three people were killed last night</a> in the Kenosha riots after the shooting of Jakob Blake. A suspect is <a href="https://www.facebook.com/str34mtv/posts/179513520359459">a 17-year old ki</a>d that is presumably part of the boogaloo. Portland is also <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/portland-police-declare-riot-after-protesters-break-windows-enter-city-hall">seeing clashes</a>. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For a decade, Glenn Beck has talked about exit ramps. Essentially, he would say, “If we don’t wake up and recognize where we are in terms of historical cycles, we can’t go backward.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If we don’t exit now, we will end up in very bad places.” The far-left and the far-right are dragging us there. Those of us in the middle, I would bet 70-80% of this country, have to stop making arguments that give license to deadly places, or every citizen will be forced to participate in their fight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I don’t know what the total plan looks like yet. I just know that it begins with standing “athwart history, yelling Stop, at a time when no one is inclined to do so, or to have much patience with those who so urge it.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The next step is placing unity above division. Unity is a foundational principle of America, and it’s worth fighting for. Over the last 30 to 40 years, we’ve let private institutions and communities erode, and we’ve lost the language to talk to each other as a result. Diving into uncomfortable conversations with people on supposedly opposite teams is coming. Is it before or after significant violence?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The center has to start fighting back with the same passion as extremists do to create a lane for noon-crazy people. Republicans and Democrats are pushing a vision of America that most of us will never and do not experience. People vote for it because they see no alternative. Speaking up creates one.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The left Libertarians are mad Jo Jorgensen went on Ben Shapiro, one of the biggest talk radio shows in the country. Last week the right Libertarians were pissed off. With all due respect to these wings, appealing to the worst of the dying two parties with messaging that America has already rejected is a foolish strategy. I’m not interested in doing this to grow your club. I want to spread the liberating idea that each of us can seek prosperity, harmony, and justice in a less divisive and nonviolent way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Libertarianism is the only political ideology that won’t force others to participate in world views they reject. We should keep that offer front and center.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Exit polling consistently shows that Libertarian voters are not R or D voters. They’re new or re-activated voters that feel they’ve finally found representation. These numbers also disprove the “stolen vote theory.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Appearances on shows like this are to identify those people and not to win over Republicans that will end up “going home” on Election Day. (That’s why polls show high numbers for L candidates and then sink on Election Day. Voters don’t have the courage to actually make a change.)</p>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>The Republican National Committee issued a resolution stating that due to constraints on the size of this year’s Republican National Convention, it will not be adopting a new party platform, leaving in place the one from 2016.</p><p>The resolution says the platform committee would have agreed to continue supporting President Trump and his administration but did not want to have a small group draft a new platform for the party. – <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/gop-no-new-2020-platform-trump-agenda">Fox News</a></p><cite>Party platforms are mostly a waste of time as no one outside of a movement reads them, but they do serve some important functions. First, it is a historical record of the concerns of a large segment of Americans. Second, it is useful for a party to debate where it stands. This clarifying conversation makes the members examine their priorities. <br /><br />Lastly, it forces leadership and candidates to abide by a non-binding standard of ideology. It is an inter-party check and balance. For instance, many LP delegates vet a Presidential candidate by asking if they’re familiar with the platform as a barometer of the candidate’s respect for the delegates.<br /><br />When the GOP says it has no real platform and throws in the towel to a President, that’s a strong signal that an institution is no longer willing or capable to impose the will of the majority (delegates) on a minority (the candidate and leadership). <br /><br />When the parties are unwilling to enforce basic notions of representation in their own organization, then the government is sure to follow. Democrats will follow suit and we will be worse off for it.</cite></blockquote>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“<a href="https://mailchi.mp/358a34acf559/covid-19s-impact-on-podcasting?fbclid=IwAR1MpLTtej0lSE4Dxh1FHbPIpBfJZfqGxkrw6ngOo_g_NHuUqXEFeBJZSq0">Podcasting is seen as more trustworthy than traditional media coverage of the current pandemic.</a>” So said a survey recently done by Media Monitor.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I say this as someone that does shows with show notes usually running 20 pages… There is a difference between what I do as a podcaster that does preparation and a traditional media outlet. They have an editorial process of one or two layers where editors challenge facts used in journalistic pieces. The chances of the New York Times reporting on COVID-19 is more thorough than mine are pretty damn good.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The mainstream media has glaring flaws, especially when reporting on politics. Any person with a brain can see they are tilted left. It just means seeking out as many angles as possible to find the truth. One should be just as careful with podcasts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Political podcasts have the same slant towards their team, and MORE incentive to tell you what you’d like to hear to keep you coming back. The quickest way to build an audience is with tribalist impulses: us vs. Them thinking, identifying enemies and scapegoating them for problems, cleverly mock the opposition. Hating someone or something gives people meaning in a time when people desperately need community.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s a great growth strategy to position oneself as a contrarian on most issues. A host that rejects conventional wisdom and reveals secret truths will pigeonhole themselves to having to oppose the reality shared by most humans on Earth. Breaking with the strategy before reaching ridiculous conclusions will alienate their audience. If income is tied to catering to conspiratorial crowds, then the host is likely to keep heading down that road. The silent majority of their audience will just walk away.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I used to do this type of stuff, and then I grew up. It is soul killing for both the broadcaster and their audience. For instance, my mood significantly improved when I stopped listening to Ben Shapiro on a daily basis. Constantly being outraged at the left was exhausting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I love podcasting because the barrier of entry is so easy and it has given people like myself a platform. I’ve worked hard to build WAL. It’s been 9 years of 20 hour workweeks for no pay, and that effort has brought an audience of tens of thousands a week because of trust.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Around 2018, I realized what a huge responsibility that is, which is why there has been a marked shift in our show. I decided I needed to serve the audience instead of asking them to serve me. We now get called boring by critics because we aren’t looking to tickle ears. Presenting truthful information from dozens of sources is labeled as boring by some.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Which illustrates the real problem. It’s YOU. Individuals set the incentives for media based on what they download and what they click. Tweets at a podcaster influences their content choices (another difference between traditional and new media: audience influence). YOU LOVE to be lied to, manipulated, propagandized, and when a broadcaster stops, you stop paying attention.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Everyone in the media equation is held accountable except for the group that sets the incentives. Alex Jones and the New York Times are held accountable by public opinion, but never the audiences that encourage the behaviors walk away unscathed… Because it isn’t good broadcasting to chastise an audience.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is no doubt the media will use a Laura Loomer to unfairly paint all Republicans as Laura Loomer. Studies show more liberals know about QAnon than conservatives due to coverage by major media. That perception isn’t helped by cowardly Republicans that stay silent on the growing movement of conspiracy theorists in their own party out of fear of alienating that vote or wanting to ignore it to avoid more bad press. By avoiding it, they end up getting more bad press, so I am sympathetic to the right’s views that they just can’t win with the media.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The constant scrutiny of the right causes Republicans to run towards Whataboutism due to outrage over the hypocrisy. This reads as tacit consent and abandonment of principle. If one truly cares about fighting predatory behavior by powerful men, then articulating that towards one’s own in-group means more than criticizing the out-group. So for instance, if I take to task Trump’s cheating on his pregnant wife with a porn star and a Christian Conservative friend mentions Joe Biden’s accusations, this hypocritical statement shows they care more about power than treating women as Christ treated women.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This inconsistency then breeds more hypocritical coverage by the media. “Look! They don’t believe what they say!” Then it is a tit-for-tat that continues to define down the norms in society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a classical liberal that wants an individual to define their own norms while society makes space for those values to be lived out, I am not terribly upset about that. I do somewhat care about these conversations because I am being forced to participate in these differing worldviews.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The solution is to ignore the press and for us to stop letting them live rent-free in our heads. Constant hand-wringing over the power of the press continues to prop up their power. This obsession is a function of the President’s need to be liked by the New York Press that spent decades dismissing him. As much as he says he doesn’t care about fake news, all evidence points towards a man that cares about good press more than doing his job well. The right has adopted this obsession while pretending this person is a truth-teller that rejects the opinions of others. Again, another inconsistency that leaves the rest of us scratching our heads.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As of this writing, Democrats are worried about Trump’s possible defunding of the United States Postal Service or the USPS. They believe he will sabotage the upcoming 2020 election and, while I agree with them on that, I believe we should get such a vital service out of the hands of the government and into the hands of the people by privatizing the postal service.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My version of privatization is the individualist anarchist version, the Lysander Spooner version, of privatization. All post offices should be sold to local people. They would be sole proprietorships and provide services to the local community. Mail trucks would be owned and run by independent contractors who will buy the mail from the post office and deliver it. I believe this is called a union of egoists (although I have little knowledge of Stirner as I am no fan of his amoral egoism). Should the mail truck fail to deliver the mail then the post office will find a new delivery service and consumers will be compensated. Mail processing plants would either be cooperatives or sole proprietorships using a lights-out manufacturing methodology where the whole factory is automated (my preferred choice).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">People would be charged a monthly fee for using the post office (which we already do now through taxes albeit yearly). The many post offices (about 200,000 already existing plus the many more that will spring up) will have so much competition that prices will be low. The independent contractors will be so numerous that delivery costs to and from the mail processing plant will be low and higher quality meaning they’ll be faster than our current system. This competition between delivery services and the post offices will ensure that the monthly fee consumers will pay will be low. All the while, no corporation could survive or even enter the market due to all this competition.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As anarchists, we should not fear the word “privatize.” Some of our so-called “anarchist” detractors (statists in disguise) will call us ancaps but just because Rothbard would support something similar doesn’t mean we shouldn’t. He advocated for corporate privatization, but we advocate for individualist privatization. His supporters advocate for survival of the fittest (despite being the inevitable victims of such a system), but we believe that if all compete then all survive. The fittest shall prosper and his weakest neighbor will succeed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To get such a vital service like the post office out of the hands of the corrupt, we must get it out of the hands of the State, the very breeder of corruption. We must give it to the people where competition and the free market will ensure fair prices, low prices, high quality, and greater variety. Corporations don’t have to be involved. As anarchists, we must remember this. We should call for privatizing the post office.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">David French of the Dispatch has been <a href="https://frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/how-much-of-the-right-is-a-financial">wondering out loud</a> if most of the right-wing media and institutions have turned into platforms for grift after the <a href="https://reason.com/2020/08/21/wall-funding-scandal-exposes-steve-bannons-false-populism/?fbclid=IwAR0uqGMGq8Z3pMJ5DRJ45agd5bmk2sU5ygYP196yY8siBirYs60XEm5LM1M">arrest of Steve Bannon</a>. This is a natural end for any media based around a movement. As conservatives were pushed out of mainstream media, they left outlets that sought facts and balance. The incentive changed from “being accurate” to “appeal to the base.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A movement dies when it focuses on purity and stops trying to appeal to outsiders. Truth is hard to figure out in a large, complex society. It takes effort to listen to different perspectives, evaluate the information, and then to draw independent conclusions, especially when everyone around you is focusing on purity. Peer pressure produces conformity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ideology is easy to figure out. Read a couple of books, read the right twitter timelines, and then parrot it. The Tomi Lahren’s of the world offer nothing new or interesting, but they tickle the ears. Eventually the passions of the moment fade, people grow up, and they move on. Candy for dinner seems alluring until day seven.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Appealing to people’s passions instead of pushing them to think is a great business model. Many people get rich off of it and defines decency down to the point where a Bannon sees an audience as a cash register. At first, the discerning ones point it out and are name-called for saying it out loud. Then eventually everyone else sees it and norms are re-enforced.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conservative movement is a long way off from the founding of National Review. Buckley brought in every stream of thought in the movement to battle it out on the pages of his magazine to make his movement smarter. It was about ideas and not cults of personality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the dust settles from the Trump era, I’ll be curious to see if that spirit can return. The Dispatch is certainly trying and I recommend it as the only conservative outlet worth reading or hearing. Will all the rest be held accountable for allowing the worst behaviors to flourish by tacit approval? Or will everyone pretend the past five years didn’t happen?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Before whataboutism is applied to absolve one side of any wrong-doing by accusing the other, this is not just a problem for the Republicans. Any grouping of human beings focused around an idea suffers the same challenges, and these impulses should be identified and guarded against.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My <a href="https://rss.art19.com/episodes/2abbd804-c222-4e05-8525-1c0f76127c35.mp3">conversation with Dave Smith is up</a>. He was perfectly respectful and I appreciate him having me on. It was a good conversation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You know I prep for everything, and I figured I’d share my prep notes with you here. I wanted to write out my points so I was as fair as possible. I had a conversation with a friend on the board of the Mises Caucus that checked me on some things as well as some long-time party members. Both were helpful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It may help fill in my message somewhat. I don’t know that I got it through clearly, but that happens in a conversation. Here is the gist of what I mean when I criticize the “Mises Crowd.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Chris Spangle - Part Of The Problem #624" width="1102" height="620" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/97lRN5tRIQs?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">—-</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">My ultimate message: The split of Rockwell/Rothbard vs. Koch has to come to an end. Libertarians will be the major force in the coming 100 years thanks to demographic shifts and advancements in technology.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Any movement that focuses on purity and not new recruitment finds itself in a death spiral. We are our worst enemies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have to create space for more than just one faction because that’s what libertarianism ultimately leads to: spontaneous order, harmony amongst multiple cultures, peaceful and voluntary exchanges.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We can’t reject the experiences of others just because we aren’t impacted. Empathy is a core tenet of making libertarianism work.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dave cares about the movement. That’s why I am willing to have this conversation knowing the unfair criticism coming to the brand I’ve spent a decade building. The proof is in the Mises Caucus group announcing I’m coming on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Three separate groups within this faction that play a role in terms of division.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>1. The official Institute and Caucus.</li><li>2. The Podcasters</li><li>3. The anon bots and commenters</li></ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>The Koch vs Rothbard fight which plays a role.</li><li>My time in the LP dealing with Ron Paul bots. This is consistent with the experiences of many in the party.</li><li>Mises Caucus’s “takeover the party” mentality turns off other factions that they need to collaborate with. Instead of working with long time members, they treated old-timers with disdain and arrogantly thought they could just outgrow the people that have spent 40 years building the party.</li><li>What do they stand for? Ron Paul’s message of noninterventionism and Austrian economics is largely held by most of the party and movement. It is an attractive message.</li><li>What does it appear they stand for? Fighting the personal battles of leadership and podcast hosts with a never-ending Nixonian list of enemies to vanquish.</li><li>The anon bots identify their enemy and swarm on them. It may not be the intention of Dave of the Institutions for this to happen but it does.</li><li>2018 convention had 13 LibSocs, and they pretended it was a dangerous threat to the party. The Audacious caucus has been a longtime joke for a reason. Radicals have never gotten about 40%. Most of the party structures are Harry Browne-style libertarians.</li><li>They scapegoated left Libertarians to gain a following and ended up creating more left Libertarians than had existed before. Pre-2018 it was basically Shipley.</li><li>Anyone that seems to break with the messaging of leadership is then shunned by the rank and file.</li><li>Leadership occasionally cherry-pick and elevate others for scorn.</li><li>Criticism isn’t dealt with fairly or heard. (Dave is leading by having me on.) Heise calls me a liar over a difference of opinion. To disagree usually means being called a liar.</li><li>Ultimately, it is the introduction of the alt-right style of political discourse into the movement. Identify an enemy. Us vs. Them. Factionalize. Demonize. Mock. Alienate. Harass. Scapegoat. Claim to be reasonable. Stretch the truth. Call someone a liar even when it is a difference of opinion.</li><li>This is a weapon that is then used to try and bully other factions into caving to the pressure.</li><li>It is used to raise money. – <a href="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fec.gov%2Fdata%2Fcommittee%2FC00699785%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR1RCz3w-9vxz2u1sdICye4HE7hX92624AvNzusCdjQLANY-psQdkEO2GwI&h=AT2dYg5hmTSGyWp8llLSP2vqG4JCZe62wuyg6Qmzl6kpaTI4rmfrzQRy4thVYfysd9oIdmFgiNCFlkdaSd2-bLublwYx3TQ5ZZrtT8BBBUdeFT0rEc-S4cnSQisKotC23C1Vn5pHW-A3v70kNIQeUM3UUiwglIs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00699785/</a></li><li>That is why they’re 25% of a thousand libertarians at a convention.</li><li>Jacob H. Saying a principled 1% instead of 3% is a horrible message to the parties that got 3% and ballot access.</li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Caucus itself has a welcome message in the Party, there is just a continuation of problems that keep the fighting dragging on and on.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The third is eventually going to eat the first two if they aren’t careful. It is already moving them rightward. That would be an enormous loss for the libertarian movement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is a creep rightward away from classical liberalism and openness and towards alt-right ideas within the third grouping. (Namely, a monarchical system that would lead to a Bismarkian state that enshrines the power of modern-day Junkers to fight the left.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dave is in a position to influence the third group away from this seduction and back towards a more sane, libertarian politics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The reviews are in:</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Individualism, community, self-sufficiency, self-reliance, and faith are the values of the people of Appalachia. It is in these values that we find an anarchism that has existed in the cities and rural communities for decades. However, most Appalachians don’t refer to it as such. To them, it’s just life. This life, however, is a unique brand of anarchism, much like all things that exist in Appalachia.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Appalachian anarchism is a syncretic thought that combines Christian anarchism with individualist anarchism along with aspects of traditionalist conservatism and agrarianism. It is Christian anarchist in that faith is held dear to Appalachians who let the Bible guide them; despite 70% being unchurched and their native Christianity being decentralized and opposed to religious hierarchy and established churches. It is individualist in its opposition to communism and acceptance of self-reliance and self-sufficiency. It is traditionalist conservative in its views of social issues, being opposed to abortion and supportive of the traditions of the mountains among others. It is agrarian in its support of the back-to-the-land movement’s components; namely smallholding, self-sufficiency, community, and autonomy. All these mix together to create a rugged individualist yet conservative anarchism.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Appalachians live this conservative anarchism everyday. Many spend their whole lives living without government or something close to it. Wallins, Kentucky doesn’t even have a government (as a result of its being demoted from a city to an unincorporated community back in 2010 after failing to elect a mayor in 2008) and Harlan, Kentucky has a mayor who’s a non-presence who most residents don’t even know the name of.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This isn’t mentioning the sheer number of unincorporated communities that dot the Appalachian landscape which have no government yet live peacefully. There are 62 of these little communities in Harlan County alone. The only government presence is the Harlan police and they only seem to patrol the streets of Harlan (though I only lived in Baxter and Wallins so I’m open to corrections). There’s also a post office (though some of these communities don’t have that anymore) and the Harlan County Rescue Squad. Other than Wallins’ volunteer fire department (which one of my cousins volunteers for), that’s as far as government presence goes and those could easily be cooperatives or privatized. These unincorporated communities are small and anarchist and are a key characteristic of Appalachian life (although they do exist elsewhere) and exemplify Appalachian anarchism.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many people see Appalachia as a hotbed of conservatism but that’s only those who vote and, even then, their personal views are nothing like the views of the candidates they vote for. I know this because of personal experience. My cousin (not the firefighter) supports Trump but could probably be a PETA spokeswoman and is vegan/vegetarian and I have many friends who are conservative but are generally more “leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone” types. If you average the turnout of Kentucky’s 5th district, Tennessee’s first three districts, and Virginia’s 9th district (all of which make up Central Appalachia), you’ll find that only 42% vote. Considering that those that do don’t always agree with their choice, you’ll find that Appalachia as this conservative hotbed is nothing but a myth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The only thing preventing Appalachians from calling themselves anarchists is that they don’t know what that means. Anarchists forget that the large majority of Americans know nothing about anarchism or the philosophies of Benjamin Tucker and Lysander Spooner, William Greene and Stephen Pearl Andrews, or even Pyotr Kropotkin and Mikhail Bakunin. The few who do associate it with violence. We wrap ourselves in these bubbles and assume everyone knows about anarchism. Progress will never be made by believing this.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some will assume that Appalachian anarchism can’t be anarchism because of anarchism’s association with labor. It being conservative must make it anti-labor. That is far from the truth. Appalachia has had labor disputes for decades and its people are always on the side of the worker. Bloody Harlan was in 1931 and was a war between coal miners and coal operators among others. There were movies about it and it’s one of the most well-known labor disputes. Harlan even had a protest against Black Jewel last year.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anarchism is as Appalachian as poke sallet. It is not the progressive kind championed by contemporary anarchists but it is something Appalachians know well and is something anarchists should capitalize on. Appeal to Appalachian values and relate anarchism to places like Wallins and Harlan and explain how it’s not different from their lives now. That’ll expand anarchism to these mountains where it would grow and blossom.</p>

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey there, friends!  Another great BONUS episode for you this week, as I am once again joined by friend of the show and friend of the host, Gary Collins!</p>
<p>Gary returns to the show to talk about something that’s truly missing in our society… personal responsibility.  It sounds cliche, when looking at all of our problems as a country, the main culprit is in the lack of personal responsibility on behalf of the your average citizen, your average voter, and our politicians.  </p>
<p>Listen as Gary and I dig into this into detail, discuss the direct impacts the lack of personal responsibility has on our healthcare costs, and more!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A common idea on the internet is this idea of “redpilling” and that if you take the “red pill” you awaken to a new way of thinking. This usually includes becoming a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) and anti-feminist (although it may also include a belief in the racist idea of race realism or the radical support of “free speech” unless someone says something they don’t like). All of these are illogical but this essay shall focus on anti-feminism and how it is a complete rejection of individualism and liberty.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The term “red pill” implies the gaining of new knowledge beyond your contemporaries like Neo in The Matrix. However, redpilling is anything but. Frequently, it is a regressive idea that forces one to adopt a primitive mindset and separate people into ideological tribes. The redpillers are often cast as victims and defenders of liberty and free speech while their critics are “SJWs” and “libtards” who always have hurt feelings as if feelings were a bad thing. There is no gaining knowledge with redpilling and those who advocate for it and anti-feminism are far from intellectuals and may even be anti-intellectual.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Individualism demands that all individuals be allowed their natural rights and that includes the right to the fruits of an individual’s labor. Women aren’t allowed this right due to traditional gender roles and the sexism innate to corporate society (men have also not been afforded this right but due to different reasons). Women aren’t even allowed to sell their labor at a price determined by a free market without interference. They must sell their labor at a price well below their male counterparts. While I am critical of the liberal solution to these problems, I am also critical of the idea they don’t exist.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is also an innate sexism in the law. The illegality of topfreedom (female toplessness) and prostitution are examples. One could argue that prostitution and abortion would be rare in an individualist anarchist society due to wealth being universal and, thus, reducing the need to resort to prostitution or to abort for any reason beyond medical; however, making them illegal means that one does not see women as autonomous beings but as products of the State in need of correction like an iPhone or Kindle. Government intervention is the suppression of individualism and liberty and incompatible with any ideology claiming to promote freedom.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How does feminism help men? Men face their own problems in society such as traditional gender roles and suppression of feelings (ironically, redpillers will claim feminism hates men but mock people for having feelings which shows their hatred of men and support for the false image of men that toxic masculinity is). Men are not allowed to feel and those that do are mocked not just by men but by women too. Ask some women if it’s ok for a man to cry or show emotion and they’ll say yes “as long as he’s not some crybaby.” This implies that men can cry but have to have a limit. If you said the same of a woman, she’d claim you’re a misogynist.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Traditional gender roles prevent men from cooking around the house or cleaning. Men can’t even take the bottom role in sex or else he’ll be considered gay even if he’s having sex with a woman. Black men have it worse and are expected to be tough and masculine far beyond other guys. Feminism fights this and the problems mentioned in my previous paragraph.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many men, and redpillers like Blaire White and Carl Benjamin, believe feminists believe in female supremacy. Camille Paglia and Christina Hoff Summers, claimed champions of individualist feminism (not related to the individualist feminism promoted by this essay and any subsequent ones) also endorse this idea to distinguish their feminism from everybody else’s so they can be not like the other girls. I should remind my readers of the often-ignored statistic that only 7% of all Americans are on Twitter. Any movement found on Twitter (conservatism, liberalism, anarchism, progressivism, feminism, etc.) is much more radical than in real life because average Americans don’t promote their views on social media and radicals do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While I have been critical toward feminists like Gloria Steinem for her anti-pornography and anti-prostitution stances (which I regard as sex-negative and a way to make women feel ashamed of their bodies), I would not claim the whole movement is represented by her nor would I say the same of redpiller and feminist-turned-anti-feminist Laci Green or radicals like Shulamith Firestone (whose belief in ideas like “women won’t be free until artificial wombs exist” implies a belief in a sexually segregated and sexist society).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some anti-feminists believe feminism ruins seduction with all its consent rules. Consent is a simple, “Do you want to have sex?” followed by “Yes.” Many feminists support things like BDSM and femsubs. There are feminist porn stars like Nina Hartley and Asa Akira. There are feminist strippers like Annie Sprinkle. Feminists don’t hate men or think everything is sexist. Anita Sarkeesian (who I don’t agree with on violent video games but will admit has gotten too much undeserved criticism) has said that she thought everything was sexist or racist when she was younger but realized she didn’t know much and was generally obnoxious. This is common for anyone who just joins a movement. First comes the ultraradical phase followed by a mellowing out.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I could go into more detail but we’d be here all day. To answer any unanswered questions, I will say this: Feminism prioritizes equality. It’s not female supremacy. It doesn’t want to ruin sex or love. It doesn’t want to prioritize women over men. It seeks equality. The feminists you think of as female supremacists are a small minority. Prioritizing their views over the views of others and believing the minority represents the majority is collectivism. Ayn Rand called racism collectivism for the same reason and I would argue anti-feminism is too. Anti-feminism is illogical and a rejection of individualism. As individualist feminists and/or men, we should work with other feminists to make sure our views are represented, not attack them as against us and our problems and solutions to said problems or others that plague our society.</p>

<p>Indy 500 is happening in “Maugust” The race is happening, just not in the normal way. No fans. Finding a way to get cars on a track when we have lost months of sports, and potentially no NCAA football.</p>
<p>This is the first time we have legalized sports betting in Indiana. Scott Dixon is the favorite, the longest of longshots is Max Chilton. Where will the winner come from? Big money to be made? We’re going to make the best of what will be the most unique year in our lifetimes and see what happens. And Mike worries if there will be masks in the victory lane photos.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Poverty creates crime so, therefore, if you eliminate poverty then you eliminate crime. Not all crime, though, but most of it. This is a simple concept that has been known for decades yet I see libertarians and conservatives attempt to disprove this notion. Jordan Peterson, the supposed champion of masculinity, blames relative poverty (or the idea that your neighbor has a Ferrari F40 and you have a Ford F150) and FEE <a href="https://fee.org/articles/cause-and-effect-crime-and-poverty/">claims</a> crime creates poverty. Both are symptoms of the statist poison that runs rampant among these so-called “liberty” types who just believe the opposite of liberals even if it makes no sense. Liberals falsely believe guns create crime so the conservatives and their pet libertarians believe the opposite: that guns prevent crime. So, they get some pretty blonde to go out on Fox News and regurgitate this idiotic belief because they’d rather cuck the libtards than present an actual policy. The American people, not seeing a good policy on the conservative or libertarian side, will migrate over to the liberal side even if that side is wrong too.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Guns are neither the problem nor the solution. They are neutral. That does not mean we should restrict them as they give the individual equal footing with the State. If we outlawed guns, we’d be at the mercy of the State. They are important tools for the individual to protect himself, his family, and his liberty. But we can’t solve the problem of crime by arming ourselves alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Why does poverty create crime? When someone is poor then they need things. Maybe it’s food, maybe it’s water. This costs money. Maybe there are no jobs in the area or, for some reason, no one will hire you. What do you do? You steal, you deal drugs, you become a prostitute, you do a host of other crimes. If someone threatens your way of life, you resort to violence because you’re so desperate that you’d do anything to prevent yourself from going back. Again, this isn’t all crime but it is most of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Go anywhere on Earth and where you find high poverty rates you find high crime rates. Tijuana, Mexico is the murder capital of the world and has a high poverty rate. Chicago has one of the highest crime rates in America, higher than 95% of US cities, and has a 21% poverty rate. Harlan, Kentucky has a crime rate higher than 84% of cities and a 32% poverty rate. Before anyone brings race into this, Harlan has a 92% white population yet has a crime rate a little below Chicago’s.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gun rights advocates have failed guns. The longer they claim that more guns stop crime, the more gun control bills that will be passed. Most Americans assume that advocates don’t care about people and with the “just ignore it” attitude that many so-called “gun rights” groups and advocates seem to have I don’t blame them. They have failed liberty and the individual.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How does one deal with poverty then? Reduce regulations, open borders, and establish mutual banks. These are libertarian/anarchist and free market solutions. In some way, each one of these allows people to create their own business and thus create jobs, increases wages and incomes, and reduces the size and strength of corporations. Reducing regulations allows more people the opportunity to afford to enter the market because regulations are tools of corporations to prevent new businesses from competing with them. Open borders allows immigrants to come here and either work or start their own businesses. Workers could work here, earn a salary, send part of it back to their home country, and spend part of it here. That would create jobs both here and abroad and reduce poverty not just here but globally. Mutual banks would allow the poorest person access to seed capital to found their own businesses thus creating jobs and rejuvenating the neighborhood, especially in poor Appalachian and African-American areas. All the while you could repeal gun laws.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Libertarians and conservatives won’t accept the simple fact that poverty creates crime because they don’t support actual policy but slogans to trigger liberals. Anarchists aren’t any better with some supporting candidates who pledge to abolish the government on day one as if that was in any way possible, not to mention that that would lead to chaos (as the transition to an anarchist society is a slow and gradual change).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Poverty and crime is a disease and the free market and mutual banks are the cures. Liberals are prescribing placebos and the libertarians and conservatives don’t even recognize the illness not to mention the underlying cause. If they were actual doctors, they’d get their licenses revoked. Each has failed the poor, guns, liberty, and the American people.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ayn Rand wrote that “Fascism, Nazism, Communism, and Socialism are only superficial variations of the same monstrous theme – collectivism.” However, I think this should be changed to reflect all the forms that collectivism, the enemy of liberty, can take. This new maxim would be “Fascism, Nazism, Communism, Statist Socialism, <em>and Capitalism</em> are superficial variations of the same monstrous theme – collectivism. ” For my libertarian readers (and conservative readers if I have any), the idea that capitalism is a form of collectivism sounds ludicrous and many capitalists (such as Ayn Rand) think collectivism is an enemy of capitalism. But they are one and the same.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The epitome of capitalism is greed. The hoarding of property and wealth into the hands of a collective, the richest 1%, is this greed manifested. Capital for establishing businesses is hoarded (as is property) and, thus, the people are deprived of universal access to wealth. Capitalism is, in this way, no different from its sisters, communism and statist socialism, who seek to hoard property and wealth into the hands of the State and party leaders. In fact, capitalism, like its sisters, is a creature of the State and would be incapable of existing in a free society. Even so-called “anarcho”-capitalism would lead to a corporate authoritarian State.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Compare communism, statist socialism, fascism, and Nazism to capitalism. You will find the Five Forms of Collectivism have a lot in common. Chief among these similarities is that each requires the hoarding of capital and property into the hands of a few and each requires a government to be on the side of said few. Whether it is through regulations that protect corporations and punish small businesses (as in capitalism), by taxes that punish people and prevent the accumulation of Wealth (as in statist socialism), by preventing any and all private enterprise from existing (as in communism), or by banning free trade and instituting economic planning (as in fascism/Nazism), the State will intervene to protect the collective. This collective may be party leaders, corporate executives, or both.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The enemy of the free market is the capitalist, who expects the government to cater to his needs, and the statist socialist, who expects the government to cater to his needs. The capitalist expects regulations to help prevent smaller businesses from competing with big businesses and the statist socialist expects regulations to help prevent big businesses from competing with small businesses. Many thought it was weird to see Texas Senator Ted Cruz and New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez collaborate on a <a href="https://www.vox.com/2019/5/31/18645974/ocasio-cortez-cruz-lifetime-lobbying-ban">bill</a>, but they believe the same thing. One wants the government to intervene to protect the elites and the other thinks government intervention will help the poor. However, government intervention will always help the elites. Look at Venezuela. Policies to protect the poor merely insulated the elites. It is absurd, then, that some anarchists come to Maduro’s defense because he calls himself a socialist. It is a pathetic and vain attempt by anarchists to get the broader Left to recognize them — like some poor guy trying to get a Twitch girl to notice him by any means necessary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The best economic system is that which empowers and enriches the individual and that is laissez-faire socialism which is a key component of individualist anarchism, the only political ideology in which an individual is truly free. Collectivism in any of its Five Forms is the enemy of the individual.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">State and Local Representatives push for Federal Agents departure</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After two and a half months of the protests occurring, state and local representatives of Portland have been negotiating with the US government for the removal of federal officers.  Oregon’s Attorney General Ellen Rosebaum filed a lawsuit against federal agents for seizing and detaining protestors without probable cause.   Governor Kate Brown has received criticism over how she has ignored the violent protests within her State.  The Senate Republican Office of Oregon wrote a letter stating that she has, “been confronted with clear evidence of violent anarchists engaging in unconstitutional activities that result in significant harm to law enforcement and jeopardize the safety of Oregonians.”  President Donald Trump has stated in a press conference that the local and state leadership need to do their job and clean up their city.  He stated in a tweet regarding Governor Brown and the riots, “If she can’t do it, the Federal Government will do it for her.  We will not be leaving until there is safety.”</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Riots last for another Week</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A statement from Governor Brown’s office upheld that Immigration Custom Enforcement (ICE) officers and all Customs and Border Protection will leave Portland on July 30th, claiming that they brought violence to the communities.  The rallies were peaceful for a few days and then a press release from DHS released on August 1st, stated that the protestors started a fire outside the courthouse.  When Federal Protective Services (FPS) tried to extinguish the fire, some of the protestors reacted by throwing objects at them.  A few days later more activists assaulted Police Officers and no federal law enforcement was involved.  DHS released a statement that the, “Oregon State Police (OSP) responded to an approximately 20-person fight two blocks away from the courthouse on the other side of a nearby city park.  Violence was directed at uniformed OSP officers during the incident.”  At 1 AM the next day the protestors broke into the Portland Police Association building and started a fire inside, while the police officers attempted to disperse the crowd.  The last declared riot was on August 6th, where the demonstrators vandalized and attempted to burn down another police station.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Testimonies from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ)</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A Senate subcommittee was held on August 4th regarding free speech in light of the events that took place in Portland.  Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregan claimed that if the federal agents had any identifiers it was impossible to know and that the protestors were put in unmarked vehicles without giving any probable cause.  The acting Director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services, Ken Cuccinelli has denied some of these accusations by saying that the identifiers were visible, although the officers names were not identified because they were being doxed.  Director Cuccinelli also argued that, “The use of unmarked vehicles by law enforcement is common to avoid potential attacks by criminals on a nightly basis.”  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When asked by Senator Mazie K. Hirono of Hawaii, about the protesters who were assaulted by federal agents, Cuccinelli said that they were under review by the Inspector General of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and it may take some time to review because they are looking at other cases in addition to Portland.  The Inspector General stated that their review will “include examining the training and instruction that was provided to the DOJ law enforcement personnel; compliance with applicable identification requirements, rules of engagement, and legal authorities; and adherence to DOJ policies regarding the use of less-lethal munitions, chemical agents, and other uses of force.”  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some of the testimonies that were presented stated that it was a peaceful protest where federal officers came in and assaulted non-violent demonstrators.  Senator Merkley and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island used Chirs David as an example.  David was an army veteran, who took part in the protests.  When he went up to the federal authorities to question why protestors were arrested without probable cause, he was assaulted and tear gassed by federal officers.  Cuccinelli addressed this issue by stating, “…I understand there to be a great deal of respect for law enforcement, nor I assume anyone on this committee expects them to be perfect, while at the same time holding them to the kind of higher standard… We have to continue to enforce the law while correcting whatever mistakes do arise without stopping the enforcement of the law.”       </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Senator Ted Cruz criticized the Democratic Party for referring to the Federal Agents as Gestapo and Stormtroopers.  When Senator Cruz reiterated what was said Cuccinelli replied with, “…we ask them to put a gun on, and stand between us and evil every day, and these folks do it, and they do it dutifully and they do it professionally, and that includes in Portland…”  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">White supremacy was also discussed by several members of the committee because that was also considered domestic terrorism.  Erin Nealy Cox, an attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice, stated that before the activities took place in Portland most of the domestic terrorist cases were white supremacy involved.  When asked what DHS was trying to investigate terrorist hate groups, Director Cuccinelli stated that some of the efforts were increasing track of analysis and communication with local and state authorities.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Statements Accuse Antifa and White Supremacy to be Present at Portland</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Andrew Ngo, Professor Johnathan Turley, Nkenge Harmon and Kyle Shideler, were a part of the second panel during the testimony.  Ngo, an editor of The Post Millennial, states that the Youth Liberation Front, a faction of Antifa was involved in the demonstrations.  Professor Turley also confirmed that Rose City Antifa were in charge of the protests.  Ngo states that these demonstrations in Portland have been ongoing since the 2016 Presidential election of Donald Trump.  He established, “Local politicians have been nurturing and allowing this extremism to go on….”   </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to Kyle Shideler who was a part of Center for Security Policy (CSP), Antifa has been “relying on support organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America, The International Workers of the World, Refuse Fascism and the National Lawyers Guild….”  Shiedler has also accused Antifa of creating allyships through memorandums of “understanding not to interfere with criminal activity in exchange for protection.”  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Professor Turley, from Georgia University Law School testified on how groups like Antifa were a problem in listening to opposing views, especially in academic settings.  Turley stated that he has known some law professors who have been attacked by Antifa members who would then require police protection.  Antifa would use methods like no platforming and censor speakers at university with opposing views.  Turley claimed, “In my written testimony I explore ways in which congress can enforce free speech through a mix of measures through federal enforcement to federal funding.  It is by no means an easy task because Government enforcement itself can chill free speech.”  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition to statements that Antifa was a part of the riots in Portland, Nkenge Harmon Johnson, a lawyer also offered her testimony.  She stated that white supremacist groups showed up to the Black Lives rally to escalate the situation.  Harmon alleged that the local police even assisted some of the white supremacists, sometimes armed, who appeared while the rally was occurring in front of the federal courthouse.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What rights do the Portland Demonstrators have?</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are some polarizing viewpoints of events that occurred between the Federal Agents and the demonstrators.  The Senate Democrats state that the protesters constitutional rights were violated because they were not read their rights and the Federal agents did not identify themselves.  The Federal departments denied their refusal to read rights and said that there were identifiers.  However the officers refused to give their names because of doxing of some of the activists.  Free speech has been a common theme throughout the debate on the Portland demonstrations.  There has been accusations of censorships on both sides, of the far left shutting down opposing views and rioting in retaliation.  For the police there have been allegations of using white supremacist’s of silencing Black Lives Matter or Antifa.   </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Antifa and Black Lives Matter do have rights but that can only go so far with the federal and state law, as well as the constitution.  Christopher B. Dolan, a lawyer from San Francisco, claims that there is no statute of federal officers requiring to give their identification.  The local police department in Portland are required to identify themselves unless it compromises their safety, impairs the performance or if their supervisor gives them permission to withhold information.  Groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter do have the right to peaceably assemble, as is covered by the first amendment.  However other groups are still covered by that right so others can have a free exchange of ideas.  Freedom of speech also include individuals like Prof. Turley who speak out against the violence that has been committed by Antifa.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        One commonly used expression regarding the current COVID pandemic is herd immunity. People are obsessed with reaching herd immunity as soon as possible so that we can put this pandemic to bed. It is hoped that the development of a vaccine will get us the herd immunity of 60-80% far quicker than waiting to reach it through natural infections. But my guest today is convinced her modeling puts the actual immunity threshold at only 10-20% meaning we may already be there in some cities and countries.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Government strikes again!  Only this time, they’re going after one of our own.  </p>
<p>Cliff Maloney, president of Young Americans for Liberty, joins the show to discuss that absolutely terrible (and almost entirely politically driven) decision by the City of Dallas to shut down YAL’s “Mobilize 2020” conference with only a few days notice, costing YAL over $200,000 in non-refundable deposits and leaving nearly 1,500 young liberty activists scheduled to attend stunned.</p>

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Double the episodes for you this week, as this episode features Nico and Shaine from the What’s HAPAning podcast to dig into something we really have discussed much at length here on the show, and that’s one of keeping up with the culture. </p>
<p>With both Nico and Shaine being prominent figures on social media with strong followings, they obviously are hitting at the right nerves, and with that, have a unique perspective on how to approach culture while also advancing liberty (and guess what… it’s gonna sound a tad familiar…).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In my <a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/hensley-refuting-chodorov-thinking-about-private-property/">first article</a>, I articulated a moral objectivist (or moral universalist) law called the natural law which I shall call the Law of Nature. “An individual shall not violate the property of another individual” is that law in ten words. In that piece, I listed the Six Crimes that violate that law as theft, assault, murder, rape, pedophilia, and arson. The last five are pretty simple but theft can encompass many things. Today, we shall define theft.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In an individualist anarchist society, theft is taxation, robbery, perjury, kidnapping, and chattel slavery (wage slavery is abhorrent but is different from chattel slavery and I won’t conflate the two). In some way, each component of theft involves the stealing of an individual’s property (either person or property).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Taxation is theft. It is the stealing of a person’s money. Every individual has the right to the fruits of his labor. However, until the State can be abolished, we must find the least bad tax to fund a government and, hopefully, a shrinking one. The least bad tax is Henry George’s land value tax, a tax endorsed by anarchists, progressives, libertarians, conservatives, socialists, and capitalists. It is enough to fund our government now. We can abolish all others. I do support a second tax, however. That is a carbon tax. It combined with encouraging more Americans to go off-grid would reduce carbon output. In general, I support the taxes advocated by the late great economist Milton Friedman. Although, I feel his NIT-funded guaranteed minimum income could be funded instead by an LVT or carbon tax.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Robbery is theft. It is the stealing of an individual’s money or possessions. Whether that involves robbing a pawn shop or a Food City or breaking into someone’s house, it is theft. No more detail needed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perjury is theft. It is the taking of an individual’s person. When someone lies in court, their words will either send an innocent person to prison, force them to pay a large fine, or prevent a victim or their family from seeing justice served. In the first case, it is basically kidnapping. In the second, robbery. In the third, it is aiding the criminal and thus the person is as guilty as the one accused. This applies to lying for a killer, lying to protect a thief, or making a false rape accusation. Each is theft and deserves the punishment as decided by the court which is either prison for murderers or compensation/restitution for the rest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kidnapping and chattel slavery are theft. They are the stealing of an individual’s person. I’m not going into that stupid belief in voluntary slavery. Slavery is slavery. If we had voluntary slavery then half the poor would be slaves and that includes a large percentage of black people. It is a ridiculous belief only supported by racist AnCaps. Even Rothbard who’d do whatever he could to appeal to the Racist Right thought it was stupid and an oxymoron.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is important to determine what theft is and what it encompasses. That way we know what is just and what is not. It is important that we codify the law of an individualist anarchist society and it can be expressed in ten words, “An individual shall not violate the property of another individual.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Frank Chodorov was an American writer who was associated with the Old Right, a branch of conservatism that was anti-imperialist, laissez-faire, traditionalist, and for limited government. Chodorov himself was an individualist and advocate of Georgism (the ideology supporting a tax on the unimproved value of land or land with no houses or farms or windmills or anything of the like on it). Chodorov actually hated the word “conservative” and preferred the word “individualist.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He hated taxation and once flirted with anarchism. He rejected it, though, due to its being against violence and perceived support of violence. Today, I shall disprove his reasonings and, hopefully, convince those like him to take up the cause I so dearly support: Individualist anarchism.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the absence of a State, unoccupied property is free for the taking unless protected. The reason for this is because only the State allows this idea that property not in use belongs to someone. If we apply this logic to, say, a dollar on the sidewalk then no man would dare pick one up for fear of being arrested for something he had assumed was abandoned. I go into more detail on this in my piece “<a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/hensley-the-individual-and-property/">The Individual and Property</a>.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, any private property advocate would regard the idea of unoccupied property being abandoned as nowhere close to the idea they so desperately hold on to. I say that private property in that sense is theft. If I see unowned property and you prevent me from acquiring it then you have stolen it from me. You haven’t laid claim to it through a private defense agency or ADT or some other home defense system (even a “Beware of dog” or “Trespassers will be shot” sign would suffice just something that establishes ownership) yet you deny me the right to take it? Theft.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I refute the idea that this so-called “private” property is in any way libertarian or anarchist on both sides, left or right. Ownership exists until you have abandoned it and abandonment occurs as soon as you leave. Chodorov believed that this would be remaking society in my own image. This is an illogical argument. We already practice occupancy and use every day. If you leave a couch on the side of the road, you’ve abandoned it. Someone else will take it. If you see loose change on the sidewalk, you pick it up. Do you worry you’re stealing it? No, of course not. It was abandoned. I am merely extending this to all property.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chodorov’s criticism of violence in anarchism is just. I am opposed to violence and feel its use hurts anarchism. At the time of this writing, former Vice President Joe Biden was criticized for wanting to arrest “arsonists and anarchists.” He, like most Americans, associate anarchism with violence. Their beliefs are wrong but seeing the anarchists of today encourage violence and the anarchists of the past use violence I understand where they’re coming from. The State uses violence to enforce its laws. If you use violence to combat it, you’re no better. Using violence to accomplish your goals makes sure your goals will never be achieved no matter what they are.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chodorov claimed a man couldn’t enjoy the fruits of his labor without private property. This may have been true under Bakunin and his beliefs in collectivism which is the enemy of liberty but this is not true in an individualist anarchist society. Individualist anarchism is for personal property and the hoarding of property that is private property. It is for individual ownership of property. It just happens to believe ownership stops when said property has been left alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Private defense agencies, home security systems, and the like will ensure the owner keeps his property after he has left. It is a just idea that allows every individual the ability to own property and distribute it equally without the hoarding of property that occurs under statist socialist or capitalist systems.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I haven’t read everything by Chodorov but I like what I’ve read. However, no person is immune from criticism and through criticism we evolve ideas and develop them. This article, I hope, will convince libertarians on the right and conservatives to look up individualist anarchism and read more on it and become advocates themselves. It is essential we evolve it and reach out to those on the Right without rejecting them or insulting them. We must explain our ideas simply so that everyday people can understand them and not believe we’re the same as the statist socialists. We start by addressing their concerns and introducing our rebuttals.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Dakota Hensley an individualist anarchist and Christian anarchist from Southeast Kentucky. Follow him at @<a href="http://www.twitter.com/DakotaAHensley">DakotaAHensley</a>.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Suppose that I left a dollar on the sidewalk. I left it unattended for an hour. Do I have any right to complain when I come back to find it missing? I never informed anyone that the dollar was mine. I never left a little note telling passersby that that dollar was my dollar. To them, it had been abandoned and, thus, free for the taking.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, suppose I left a dollar on the sidewalk with a sticky note that read, “This dollar belongs to Dakota Hensley.” I come back an hour later and find it missing. The difference here is that by leaving a note I informed passersby that that dollar was my personal property. I have every right to have the thief found and pay me compensation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Imagine our scenario but, instead of a dollar, it’s an acre of land with a house, a lake, various crops, solar panels, and a rainwater collector. The ideal house, basically. One day, I go to my job as sole proprietor of a candle shop. While gone, a homeless woman finds my house and, not seeing any signs of ownership, assumes it has been abandoned and takes possession of it. I have no right to complain. I never left a sign to tell others that this was my property nor did I have my property insured.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If I lived in an individualist anarchist society, I could’ve called the private defense agency I’m subscribed to to take the thief away. She has stolen my property and, thus, will be taken to the local community-owned courthouse to be given a heavy fine to be paid to me. To prevent further theft, I would erect a sign to notify all passersby that this property is mine. Even if I didn’t put up a sign, my property would still be protected. The sign just warns those who accidentally commit a crime.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This applies to intellectual property too. A patent or trademark, much like the sign I mentioned, warns others that this idea is your idea and anyone stealing it will be prosecuted. That does suggest one question, however. Can intellectual property be abandoned? Yes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re dead, if the idea you created doesn’t make money anymore, or if the idea hasn’t been used in some time, it’s been abandoned. Therefore, I have every right to make a cartoon featuring Mickey Mouse or Peter Pan or Felix the Cat. While I do think IP has been abused, an artist’s ideas are their ideas. As a writer, I would not like it if someone stole one of my ideas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I should also add that I have pirated things before. I don’t consider piracy a violation of intellectual property. Piracy is not theft. Piracy is copying. The violation of intellectual property that I am talking about is taking someone’s original idea and making money off of it. Piracy doesn’t involve stealing and selling something as your own. It’s giving away copies of something for free.<br />Property in an individualist anarchist society would operate on occupancy and use. It would operate on the idea that individuals have the right to use abandoned property to suit their needs. If that property is being occupied then it is the occupiers to use. Such a society is fair and maximizes individual liberty.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What’s the libertarian answer to policy issues that plague major cities across the nation? Enter “Market Urbanism”.</p>
<p>Market Urbanism is the cross between free-market policy and urban issues. The theory calls for private-sector actions that create organic growth and voluntary exchange within cities, rather than ones enforced by government bureaucracy. It is thus a call for city growth and management in the classical liberal tradition.</p>
<p>Market Urbanists believe this model would produce cheaper housing, faster transport, improved public services and better quality of life.</p>
<p>Today I’m joined by Scott Beyer. Scott is an urban affairs journalist and founder of the Market Urbanism Report. He writes columns for Forbes, Governing Magazine, the Independent Institute, and HousingOnline.com, and gives regular speeches and media interviews.</p>
<p>He recently completed a 3-year cross-country trip to study U.S. urban issues, and will soon write a book on what he learned. After that, he wants to pursue a similar travel/book project covering the fast-growing cities in Asia, Africa and Latin America.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Dakota Hensley an individualist anarchist and Christian anarchist from Southeast Kentucky. Follow him at @<a href="http://www.twitter.com/DakotaAHensley">DakotaAHensley</a>.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Can an anarchist be socially conservative? Yes. I see no reason why someone who is anti-abortion or has fundamentalist views on sex or drugs can’t be an anarchist. Anarchism of all types is about a society in which no one forces their beliefs on others. That is why we oppose the State. As long as that is respected, your personal views don’t matter.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There was a conservative anarchist. Her name is Dorothy Day, a Christian anarchist and anarcho-distributist who died in 1980 (about nine days before John Lennon, actually). She wrote extensively in her organization’s penny-a-copy newspaper, The Catholic Worker. Going through the hundreds of articles she wrote, one will begin to see a few topics that she wrote about often. She wrote about cooperatives and communes (especially farming communes), about the need to care for the poor, about her support for private property and collectives, and how she thought pre-marital sex was wrong and abortion and birth control was genocide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In The Catholic Worker, in December of 1972, she wrote, “I feel that, as in the time of the Desert Fathers, the young are fleeing the cities–wandering over the face of the land, living after a fashion in voluntary poverty and manual labor, seeming to be inactive in the “peace movement.” I know they are still a part of it–just as Cesar Chavez and the Farm Workers’ Movement is also part of it, committed to non-violence, even while they resist, fighting for their lives and their families’ lives. (They, together with the blacks, feel and have stated this, that birth control and abortion are genocide.)”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">About pre-marital sex, she wrote in September of 1963, “I have been asked to express myself on these matters, especially since there has been a pamphlet published in England by the Quakers which is said to condone premarriage sexual intercourse “if the parties are responsible.” My reaction to this is that of a woman who must think in terms of the family, the need of the child to have both mother and father, who believes strongly that the home is the unit of society.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anarchist distributism would do well in Appalachia, an area that prides itself on its individualism yet has a strong sense of community. Combine it with an ardent social conservatism and it would explode here. Many forget that Appalachians don’t vote. Turnout is quite low here. Even if you, like me, aren’t a social conservative, you can alter your message and focus on the aspects of anarchism that could appeal to social conservatives</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many forget that most social conservatives would be okay with “leave me alone and I’ll leave you alone.” My readers may think that I’m too sympathetic to the far right. I should remind you that only 7% of Americans use Twitter. The conservatives on Twitter (much like the liberals) are a small, small fraction. The average conservative is much like Dorothy Day. They hold conservative views on social matters but do support things that strengthen the individual and community and would be open to anarchism if it was presented to them in a friendly package.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dorothy Day was a model for how one can be conservative and an anarchist. While I am not a social conservative, I know and am friends with many. I believe her work could appeal to conservatives, Appalachians, Southerners, Christians of all denominations, and the Right. If we ignore conservatives, we’ll doom anarchism.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Marshall Fritz founded the Alliance for the Separation of School and State and Advocates for Self-Government, and was perhaps best known as the creator of the World’s Smallest Political Quiz, a 10-question survey that places quiz-takers in one of five categories: Libertarian, Liberal, Centrist, Conservative, or Statist. Fritz passed away in 2008. In this video from a California Libertarian Party conference in 1991, Fritz gives an introduction to libertarianism by answering four questions about it: What are libertarianism’s basic principles? How does it compare to the ‘left’ and ‘right’? Who would be better off in a libertarian world? How can you prove the principles of libertarianism work?</p>

<p>We are joined by our long time friend Joey Mulinaro of Barstool Sports. We talk about his incredible year, impressions, being “drafted” by Barstool, and much more.</p>
<p>There is a little mask talk, how it affects sports…Indy 500 is a month away and it is happening. Will be the largest gathering of humans since the pandemic started. ALL of the sports are going at once. Is this the new golden age in sports? NBA, NFL, MLB, Racing, NHL all at the same moment?</p>
<p>And we are all really happy we got to shower. Turns out a city is desperate for clean water. BHOL land found that out this week.</p>

<p>Chris Spangle, Harry Price, and Rhinehold are joined by T.K. Coleman for a discussion on the path necessary for building a libertarian world. We discuss the myths that keep us believing in the efficacy of government, what role race plays in society, and how we can innovate our way to a better world. This is one of our favorite episodes ever and a great one to share with friends.</p>
<p>T. K. Coleman is the Director of Entrepreneurial Education at the Foundation for Economic Education and Co-Founder & Education Director of Praxis. He is a prolific writer and speaker with a singular mission: to awaken people to their own creative power. T. K. describes himself as an entrepreneur first and a motivator second. He’s a strong believer in the idea that he has a responsibility to face the everyday challenges of creating value in the free market if he’s going to spend his life trying to get other people to believe in free markets.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Fin dePencier is a liberty activist based in Toronto, and incoming contributor to Christian Watson’s podcast, Pensive Politics.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On July 15th, In one of the most confounding compromises of internet security the world has ever seen, <a href="https://www.inverse.com/culture/a-complete-list-of-every-twitter-account-hacked-on-july-15">130 Twitter accounts</a>, including Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Barack Obama were hacked, displaying a message soliciting donations to a black-hole bitcoin address. But stealing just over $100,000 of bitcoin doesn’t even register as significant in comparison to the gravity of America’s most important political social media platform being breached in such alarming fashion. If the hacker’s primary intention was to steal money, they could have tweeted misleading information about American equity markets and profited off the reaction, for example. Little is known about this catastrophe, including who was behind it, but the bitcoin was purely a smokescreen. By asking the questions: who has the incentive, who has the capability, why is this happening now, a shortlist of suspects can be compiled.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The victims of this hack were mostly elite from the private sector, companies themselves, and former government officials like Barack Obama. Curiously, not a single sitting government official had their account commandeered. Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-Va.), founder of the Congressional Task Force on Digital Citizenship<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/the-technology-202/2020/07/16/the-technology-202-twitter-just-proved-it-can-t-keep-the-accounts-of-global-leaders-safe/5f0f4d1c88e0fa7b44f75526/"> told </a>The Washington Post,  “This data breach in particular underscores just how troubling it is to have a president who dictates policy ad hoc over Twitter and practices the opposite of responsible digital citizenship,”<em> </em>The prospect of a hacker sending out a phony military threat from the President’s account, something he has voluntarily done many times, is terrifying. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hackers<a href="https://www.newsweek.com/twitter-bitcoin-hack-direct-messages-stolen-1518247?fbclid=IwAR0D99nqNpcY4w1LfpxLSmRH3PMKXUZsWRV0NF-VyBBpLyLnwkD871sgZ0o"> reportedly</a> got access through a backdoor that allows Twitter to tweet on someone’s behalf, a ridiculous security flaw that doesn’t have any justifiable utility. Brian Krebs, a cybersecurity journalist who worked at The Washington Post from 1995-2009 <a href="https://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/07/whos-behind-wednesdays-epic-twitter-hack/">talked</a> to a hacker operating under the pseudonym Lucky255. Lucky took over the hacker account @6, formerly belonging to Adrian Lamo. Lamo is famously known for hacking the servers of the New York Times, Microsoft,  as well as reporting whistleblower Chelsea Manning to US authorities. “The way the attack worked was that within Twitter’s admin tools, apparently you can update the email address of any Twitter user, and it does this without sending any kind of notification to the user,” said lucky. Twitter has some serious questions to answer about its internal policies. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Why, if this was a bitcoin scam, would Twitter be unable to stop the tweets? It’s not a bitcoin scam man, that is speculative. This is way more sophisticated than that,”<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6uaHgVkd2U"> Said</a> veteran journalist Tim Pool, an expert in the field who famously<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZCBRHOg3PQ"> interrogated</a> Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and one of Twitter’s top lawyers, Vijaya Gadde on the Joe Rogan Experience. The tweet from Binance’s account appeared at 2:13 pm, Obama’s tweet appeared at 2:35, Warren Buffets tweet at 5:27. Most of the tweets occurred around 5:30. The fact that Twitter’s engineers couldn’t stop this intrusion hours after it was first initiated means that Twitter’s most fundamental functions of content regulation were compromised. “These attackers were the equivalent of stealing a McLaren F1, taking it for a joyride and then crashing it into a telephone pole 4 minutes later…There is so much more damage that could have been done,” <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/17/twitter-hack-130-people-targeted-in-cyberattack-that-hit-vip-accounts.html">said</a> Alex Stamos, former Security Chief at Facebook. He’s right, the hack was an unprecedented security breach, and the culprit could have unleashed absolute mayhem. The sophistication of infiltration combined with the hackers’ refrain strongly indicates that this was the work of a state or state-sponsored intelligence agency. Who else would do this just to show they have the power? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just one day before the hack, President Trump signed the Hong Kong Autonomy Act (HKAA), a piece of legislation that will completely transform how U.S foreign and economic policy treats Asia’s recently deceased financial center. The law imposes incredibly punitive sanctions on virtually anyone who aided or participated in the Chinese Communist Party’s encroachment on Hong Kong, and also stipulates in section 4, some of which included below, that such people will have their assets seized: </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Sec</em><em>. </em><em>4</em><em>.  </em><strong><em>All property and interests in property that are in the United States</em></strong><em>, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person, of the following persons </em><strong><em>are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in:</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>(a)  Any foreign person determined by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, or the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State:</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>(i)    to be or have been involved, directly or indirectly, in the coercing, arresting, detaining, or imprisoning of individuals under the authority of, or to be or have been responsible for or involved in developing, adopting, or implementing, the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Administrative Region;</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Two days before the hack, the United Kingdom banned Huawei, the state-owned telecom provider which former Canadian Prime Minister Steven Harper described as “an extension of the Chinese surveillance state.” The Trump administration has successfully convinced every member of the intelligence-sharing alliance, “The Five Eyes” to ban Huawei from installing telecom infrastructure in their countries, except for Canada. because 5G is the bootloader for two revolutionary technologies: blockchain and artificial intelligence, China is doing everything in its power to salvage Huawei’s future as a 5G provider around the world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On July 6th, 9 days before the hack, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the Trump administration was considering a ban on Chinese state-owned TikTok. The Democratic National Committee has<a href="https://reclaimthenet.org/democrats-tell-staffers-to-delete-tiktok-on-their-phone/"> forced</a> their staffers to delete the app, and the Republican National Committee says this has been their policy for quite some time. Republican and Democratic communications teams need to effectively argue that Tiktok is significantly more dangerous than any of the American social media companies to justify their ban, already a hard sell before the hack considering the numerous privacy scandals U.S social media companies have been engulfed in. This happens right as bipartisan support for the banning of TikTok emerges. Large organizations will be re-evaluating the already flimsy assumption that U.S social media companies have the requisite security guarantees that we know don’t exist with Tiktok. The attack could force the Trump administration to shelve the Tiktok ban proposal, a major win for China, as well as force public officials to rethink having an account on Twitter, the paramount medium to circumvent legacy media channels and speak directly to followers. If China does see Tiktok as a goldmine of espionage intelligence gathering, it makes sense that they would do something drastic and offensive to maintain that asset. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In former national security advisor John Bolton’s new book, he said something approximating the following: “ I don’t remember a single moment during my tenure at the white house when the president didn’t make a move that wasn’t in service of helping his chances of re-election” Unfortunately for Trump, not every American voter differentiates between U.S intelligence having a backdoor into a platform and Chinese intelligence wholly owning one to pull data at will. Trump knows the prospect of banning Tiktok will be incredibly unpopular, especially with the army of millennials who have helped crown Tiktok as the most downloaded social media app in America. Supporters of the app will make the argument that ‘if we ban Tiktok we should ban Twitter too.’ </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The United States and China are undeniably in a new cold war. It is an intelligence war, a trade war, an information war, a biochemical war, and a technology war. It’s highly likely the July 15th Twitter hack was the latest in a series of offensives between the two countries. It could be a warning shot meant to intimidate the American government and indicate that it’s within China’s power to do something more consequential in the future. Analysts are implored to re-evaluate the significance of other recent bizarre twitter statements, like Elon Musk’s tweet that Tesla’s stock price was “too high imo. (in my opinion).” It’s possible this was an isolated hack that Musk wouldn’t have wanted to reveal to the world and Chinese Intelligence’s first warning that they had this power. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another suspect could be a faction within the U.S intelligence community that has an interest in forcing regulation across the tech industry or catalyzing a mass exodus of government officials from the platform. Senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and Historian Niall Ferguson says that there are only two bipartisan issues in Washington D.C: opposition to China and regulation of the tech companies. Russian intelligence is another suspect. On July 17th, intelligence authorities from the U.S, the UK, and Canada all accused the Russian government-linked group APT29 of stealing COVID-19 vaccine research. Just today, the Justice Department <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-21/u-s-accuses-chinese-hackers-of-stealing-virus-trade-secrets?srnd=premium-canada">released </a>an indictment against Li Xiaoyu and Dong Jiazhi, two Chinese men who are accused of stealing terabytes of coronavirus research from 11 different companies on behalf of Beijing. Countries targeted included the U.S, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Japan, Lithuania, the Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the U.K. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cyber-attacks will only get more malicious and more sophisticated. Hydro grids, medical records, sewage systems, and many more critical infrastructure components are all now digitized and susceptible. On May 9th, a major port in Tel Aviv, Israel was<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/19/world/middleeast/israel-iran-cyberattacks.html"> compromised</a> by Iranian intelligence, disrupting operations. Israel also<a href="https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/iran-cyberattack-on-israel-tried-to-increase-chlorine-in-water-report-629910"> thwarted</a> a cyberattack in April of this year where Iran attempted to tamper with an Israeli water supply by increasing the levels of chlorine to poisonous levels. “We will remember this last month, May 2020, as a changing point in the history of modern cyberwarfare,” said Israel’s National Cyber directorate Chief Yigal Unna. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are three crucially important things to understand about the Twitter hack: it had nothing to do with siphoning Bitcoin, the culprit could have inflicted exponentially more damage, and this was very likely the work of an intelligence agency. Connecting the dots requires analysts to look at every aspect and motivating factor of the attack: why twitter, why those officials, why at this time, why the Bitcoin distraction. More dangerous and sophisticated cyberattacks await.<br /></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Caedyn Wheeler is a free-market partisan, economics and philosophy nerd, artist, intermittent writer, and kangaroo-boxing enthusiast.</em> Her website can be <a href="https://www.caedynwheeler.com/">found here</a>. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="viewer-6d5pb"><strong>Disclaimer:</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>I am not inherently against equality, but I’m not for it either. THIS IS NOT A PRO-DISCRIMINATION ARGUMENT BASED ON ARBITRARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF ONE’S BIRTH.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ll state my bias right off the bat: I’m a proponent of individual freedom, autonomy, and consent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">______________________________________________________________</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Three years ago I would have considered myself a feminist or at the very least an egalitarian. My thought process behind this was simple: “people should not be arbitrarily discriminated against because of things they can’t help. People should not be treated unfairly.” And hurrah, here we are today and I still agree with that sentiment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What changed? I saw a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvD5q2Z9l-w"><u>video</u></a> by Taleed Brown, (excellent content creator, highly recommend), and it made me question holding equality as a core principle. Keep in mind, I entered this with the bias that I WAS for equality and equality was inherently good. However, after much thought on the matter, I decided to forego my principle of equality and replace it just with freedom, within the confines of autonomy and consent.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the video, there are five core arguments I found against equality, and I’d like to outline those here and state why I agree with them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Equality Means Nothing More Than Synonymy</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Differences are different. Crazy how I came up with that, I know. People are not synonymous with one another. <em>Individuals have different inherent and learned merits</em>. This is not to say that one group is always objectively better. I find that illogical. As a society, we have integrated equality into being one of our core values, so when we notice people’s different skill sets, we still say they are equal. This doesn’t make sense. Different is okay.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Doctors and artists have different merits. They are not equal careers, <em>they are not comparable</em>. Equating them for me would mean measuring them by the same systems, which then gets caught on semantics. They are not equal, they are both valuable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Equality as a concept can’t be left on its own without further context. The equal punishment of both sexes for being gay should satisfy cries for equality, it is equal treatment. Things of this nature should not be argued against on the basis of equality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I would still find issues with this treatment of individuals because it violates their freedom, consent, and autonomy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because of the ambiguous nature of the concept of equality, it is open to <em>moral manipulation</em>. It can mean anything, and therefore it cannot stand alone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Opportunity is Not Impartiality</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Equality of opportunity not equality of outcome” 16-year-old me cried. People should not be rejected from things like employment because of their gender, race, or orientation. From there it’s all fair game.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is equality of opportunity, right? Wrong, 16-year-old me. This is impartiality of opportunity, freedom of opportunity. Impartiality simply means individuals should not be discriminated against due to irrelevant circumstances of their birth. Impartiality uses objective criteria.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“<em>Equality of opportunity is just as meaningless</em>.” No one is born equal, there is no physical equality, why force it? Embrace differences.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Taking a turn from embracing irrelevant differences, the example in the video used was “pedophiles do not have the equal opportunity to work in elementary schools”. The pedophile is treated the same as all other applicants; equally. Though this may be due to the circumstances of their birth, this is NOT irrelevant to the objective criteria of whether or not to hire them. It is just for them NOT to be hired.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Historically, Equality Hasn’t Meant Equality</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Historically, <em>equality has meant freedom from oppression and subjugation, not equality to it.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The example used: Women’s right to vote and the Civil Rights Movement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Women didn’t want the right to vote to be equal to men. They wanted the right because they didn’t want to be subjugated under the law. If equality in and of itself was the goal, they would have been just as happy with men also being subjugated under the law. <em>Both end in equality.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Civil Rights Movement wanted to end systematic racism and oppression, not equalize it. The problem with the treatment of black Americans was that the treatment was <em>unjust, not unequal</em>. “Equality does not ensure freedom from oppression, the only thing that would ensure that is freedom from oppression”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Social Freedom > Social Equality</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Socialists may push for social equality, fascist may push for identitarian equality. This is under the assumption that equality has previously and always will produce optimal results. Staying true to its definition, that is hardly the case.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Like the old Russian Joke: peasant Ivan is jealous of his neighbor Boris, as Boris has a goat. A fairy comes and says it will grant Ivan one wish. Ivan wishes Boris’ goat would die.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All for equality, equality for all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Intellectual Consistency</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Example used: People who hold equality as a core principle above all else should be happy if the people here in this picture are either voluntarily holding hands, or are all slaves being forced together. Both ways, equality has been achieved.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/973f84_9696e529d6f84441ac4ab0b816eb407d~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_700,h_464,al_c,q_90,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01/973f84_9696e529d6f84441ac4ab0b816eb407d~mv2.webp" alt=""/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Equality is not philosophically good or bad. It lacks context, and therefore, I do not hold it as a core principle. <em>A noble cause, an empty ideology.</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The word “Democratic Socialism” did not have any significant impact in American political culture until Bernie Sanders brought it up in the public sphere in 2016. When Bernie Sanders spoke about it during his rallies, he was talking about Democratic Socialism as a prophecy where all Americans would be equal to one another without any prejudice and with the exact same opportunities. What truly attracts the American people about Democratic Socialism is the “free stuff” that Bernie has promised to deliver if he were to become the next ruler of America. Free healthcare, free education, $15 minimum wage, job guarantee…etc., are all proposed policies that Mr. Sanders is selling to the American people. They all sound good because it looks like the taxpayer will have access to these free stuff without spending a dime. Moreover, it looks like a $15 minimum wage will improve the life of everyone regardless of where they live.  The youngsters are thrilled about Bernie’s platform because they believe that their student loans would be canceled and that they will be all guaranteed to get a job as soon as they graduate college.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Interestingly, in one of his speeches that he delivered in 2015 at Georgetown University when he was a seeking the nomination for the Democratic Party; Bernie defined Democratic Socialism in a very unclear but utopian way. He goes by saying this: </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQs_lmpQh6Q"><em>“It means building on what Franklin Delano Roosevelt said when he fought for guarantee economic rights to all Americans.  And it builds on what Martin Luther King Jr. said in 1968, and he said it and I quote: ‘This country has socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor.’ My view of Democratic Socialism builds on the success of many other countries around the world who have done a far better job than we have in protecting the needs of their working families, their elderly citizen, their children, their sick and their poor. Democratic Socialism means that we must reform a political system which is corrupt, that we must create an economy that works for all, not just the very wealthy.”</em></a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this broad definition, Mr. Sanders, however, has not given a clear and precise elucidation of Democratic Socialism as a political ideology. What he expressed was not a definition but a sentiment. A definition and a sentiment are two different things. The way one may feel about something does not necessarily define what that thing is. The definition of Democratic Socialism that Bernie Sanders gave is not what Democratic Socialism is. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_socialism">Democratic Socialism is a branch of socialism. It combines political democracy with the means of production being owned by the government.</a> Political democracy in the sense that the people get to elect their leader, but they don’t get to control the means of production. Doesn’t it sound like straight-up socialism? Bernie leaves that crucial detail out of the public sight. Bernie’s speech was very similar to that of Lenin a century ago when Lenin became the ruler of Soviet Russia. <a href="https://reason.com/2019/06/05/perils-of-democratic-socialism-2/">Lenin preached equal economic opportunity for everyone as well as free access to good and services. We, nonetheless, saw how his Democratic Socialist regime quickly escalated into a brutal dictatorship.</a> Those who are enamored with Democratic Socialism ignore that once the government is in charge of the means of production, they are no longer free to decide for themselves. The government will control all aspects of their lives like Big Brother did to its citizens in <em>1984 </em>of George Orwell. Bernie’s intentions may be genuine, but painting socialism into Democratic Socialism to better appeal to the masses then blindsiding them in the long-run is an inevitable outcome if the American people were to choose that kind of political regime. Whether it is Democratic Socialism, socialism or communism; wherever it was tried, it has brought economic stagnation, despair, decay, and death. Democratic Socialism is in no way different than socialism in its substance. They are just different in shape. One imposes a dictator or a one-party system to rule while the other gives the option to the masses to elect the person who will eventually drag them into the abyss<strong>.</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Dakota Hensley an individualist anarchist and Christian anarchist from Southeast Kentucky. Follow him at @<a href="http://www.twitter.com/DakotaAHensley">DakotaAHensley</a>.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A week before the writing of this article, I wrote another that stated that we should privatize the police. When people hear that, they think of the anarcho-capitalist idea of the same name. The difference between that and mine is monumental.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The AnCap idea is to have communities or, more likely, corporations hire a police force similar to the ones we have now. They would keep the streets free of crime. The problem is that said police would be used to collect rent and would ban squatting. They’d perform roughly the same functions as state police, with the caveat that they’re privately funded. These police wouldn’t be so kind to those on the streets and, with private courts, the people they interact with may get unfairly long sentences.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The idea I present, instead, is one where individuals hire a group to protect their personal property (including their person and their family) from criminals. These security workers would protect the fruits of your labor while you were away. Street and road companies (and cooperatives) would also be able to hire a private defense agency of this kind.<br />The difference between these two approaches is best illustrated by comparing two thinkers on the issue. On the one hand, the Rothbardian idea of private police imagines a police force similar to the state run version. Tuckerite private defense agencies, on the other hand, defend your personal property without being beholden to corporations or other larger forces. One could lead to a fascist state whereas the other would not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A society where each business could create its own laws would be open to one business acquiring all the others and establishing its own authoritarian state. Unlike an individualist anarchist society with mutual banks, an AnCap society would not have the infrastructure in place to allow the people to acquire the funds to establish their own businesses, leading to a situation where some people are unable to become associate producers, and would instead be wage slaves.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alternatively, the only law to govern an individualist anarchist society is what Lysander Spooner called the natural law. This law is known by children, it is known by men and women, it was known by ancient peoples, and it shall be known by future peoples. It is ten words. “An individual shall not violate the property of another individual.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This natural law would be the only law in an individualist anarchist society. It will be the law the private defense agencies will follow and the law the people will follow. It criminalizes the actions that violate property rights which I call the Six Crimes. They are arson, assault, murder, rape, pedophilia, and theft. The punishment for all but one is compensation and restitution. Murderers (including those who attempt murder) would be sent to a community-owned prison funded through voluntary taxation if they are found guilty after their lawyer argues their case. A jury at the local community-owned courthouse (also funded through voluntary taxation) shall decide what the rate of compensation or restitution is for non-murder crimes after hearing the case.<br />The private defense agency would be similar to how ADT works now. For a monthly subscription, they’d give you a sign to stick in your yard to let would-be criminals know that your home is being protected by one of a few thousand defense firms. They would also have an emergency contact number that subscribers could call for free and non-subs would have to pay a small fee for. The competition between so many firms would make the subscription and fee low while also having quick response times and better quality service. They wouldn’t kill as that could hurt subscription rates and could also increase their insurance costs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is another substitute for the police which we can call the “Watchmen.” The Watchmen would patrol the streets, deter crime, and defend the personal property of the local community. They would be composed of local citizens, funded through donations (thus forcing them to have high quality service), and membership would be voted on by the local community. This will deter any bad apples from getting in. If someone is racist and wants to join, the community can veto them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">An anarchist society would still be defended and wouldn’t be a chaotic mess. It would have low levels of crime and wouldn’t have to deal with the slaughtering of minorities done by the gang of criminals we have the misfortune to call our police force. The free market ensures quality and low prices, and a free market defense industry would provide us with the world class protection we deserve.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many libertarian podcasts can you think of that go into detail as to what is happening in China?  I mean, let’s be real… most of it is just general commentary about propaganda, censorship, and planned economies. </p>
<p>For over a year, today’s guest has been working on a book about China and just started his new podcast, the “China Unraveled” podcast, to explain what’s actually going on inside the country. </p>
<p>Jason Szeftel joins the show to discuss all that’s happened during China’s quarantine, its multi-layered coverup, its evolving Orwellian propaganda, the virus’s impacts on the international economic system, and more!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">Six years ago today, Eric Garner was <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2014/dec/04/i-cant-breathe-eric-garner-chokehold-death-video" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">brutally murdered</a> by NYPD cops.</p>
<p>He was nonviolent. He was nonresistant. He was a good man.</p>
<p>Daniel Pantaleo, the cop who killed Garner, had a history of abusing his power and racism against black men.</p>
<p>Pantaleo was never held criminally or civilly liable for Garner’s murder. He was not even fired from NYPD until five years after the murder.</p>
<p>No other cops complicit in Garner’s death were held accountable.</p>
<p>Garner died struggling to say “I can’t breathe” over and over. His dying words have become a battle cry for justice in the years sense.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Many people agree that the murder of Garner and the protests that rose up around the country (and the world) immediately afterwords marks the unofficial start of the modern Black Lives Matter movement. In those six years, BLM and their allies have made important gains, both in local and federal police reform efforts and in raising awareness about the prevalence of systemic racism.</p>
<p>I pray for a day when BLM is no longer needed, but God knows they have been needed the past six years and will likely be needed for many more. Until the state’s power is stripped, until enough of us are willing to acknowledge the existence of white privilege and systemic racism, until enough of us are willing to strongly confront our own racism as well as the racism of our friends and family, BLM will continue to be needed.</p>
<p>Thank God for the work they’ve done so far, and please God let their work be accomplished sooner than we can reasonably hope.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">I served in the Marine Corps from 2014 – 2019. To be blunt, I enjoyed some of it and hated some of it. OK… I hated most of it. But I will say one of the greatest perks has to be the vast diversity of people I was exposed to, many of whom I now call friends. At this point in time, I have friends from almost every race, religion, and every U.S. time zone (as well as a few others). Most of them, like me, served their obligatory 4-year contract honorably and have branched out into a wide array of careers: mechanics, truck drivers, electricians, welders, pipe fitters, Equipment operators. On second thought, “a wide array” would be better off replaced with “skilled trades” (I guess after seeing how commissioned officers think and act, most enlisted decide that a college degree is more of a liability than an asset).</p>
<p>Of course, one of the obvious career choices for the transitioning veteran is law enforcement and as such I know quite a few police officers. It is these friends who I have tried to keep in touch with as much as possible recently. Mostly to just to make sure they know I want them to go home every night safe and sound. I know this is mind blowing to some, but <em>it is possible</em> to want law enforcement reformation without wanting beaten/dead cops.</p>
<p>I also like to hear their side of things. It reminds me that I am, nor anyone else, 100% correct. I would like to give you a little insight as to what is going on in police officer’s minds (at least the good ones). I will not name names or departments but here is a summarized version of a pretty productive conversation me and a police officer had.</p>
<p>(<em>Note: I had plenty of counter arguments but I’ll save them for the sake of brevity. I’m certainly still an advocate for defunding police and nearly all government for that matter. But I also think there are plenty of good officers out there, even if I don’t agree with them. And trust me, I don’t. With that being said its important to look at the world from their eyes because if you think “ACAB”, then you haven’t seen the reality of violence that occurs every day in some American cities.</em>)</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> You don’t think this is a race issue?</p>
<p><strong>Officer:</strong> I think that oversimplifies the problem. African-Americans are held back in our society but not because of “police brutality”. I work in a district where the term minority means nothing because its predominately black. The four things that I see holding African-Americans back are:  the welfare state, education, the destruction of the family unit, and culture. I see it every day.</p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> OK, but our judicial system as a whole is definitely racially biased.</p>
<p><strong>Officer:</strong> Our judicial system is class biased. Poor people get fucked by the courts every day and it’s regardless of race. Just look at OJ, the whole world knew he did it, but the man could afford top of the line lawyers. Do I think it should be different? Absolutely. Lawyers are the worst. I don’t know what the perfect system looks like. I think we’re close, but we definitely need some sort of change. From the top down, not the other way around.</p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> What’s the deal with curfew?</p>
<p><strong>Officer:</strong> So, the first night the riots broke out we arrested 24 people. 20 were from out of state. The goal with the curfew is get the residents that live here in their homes, ideally the only ones left in the streets will be the rioters from out of state. And their the ones who are really instigating the fights and destruction of property.</p>
<p><strong>Me: </strong>Do you think department actions across the country are counterproductive? Shutting down peaceful protest before they turn violent only seem to be agitating the people more.</p>
<p><strong>Officer:</strong> I can’t speak for every cop or department, but I can say that neither I nor my department have stopped anyone from peacefully exercising their constitutional rights. We are arresting the violent people. Just two weeks ago, before the protest, we were being congratulated for having one of the greatest working relationships with our citizens in the state. It’s the media that is creating this divide. They are the ones instigating.</p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> Yeah, but for the most part its been people with cell phones, not reporters from cable news, who have been capturing these viral videos.</p>
<p><strong>Officers:</strong> And they are always short with no context. You never see the officer getting punched in the face, only the resulting tackle. Trust me, were getting roughed up out there. The first night I had a friend get stabbed in the neck and two other officers were shot. I get that its our job and I’m not complaining or saying that because we get hit, we should use deadly force, I just hate seeing a 30 second cell recording used as evidence that we are going around needlessly beating people.</p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> The ones who do should be tried in court, correct?</p>
<p><strong>Officer:</strong> Yes absolutely, and I haven’t met another cop yet who thinks that what Derek Chauvin [the police officer who murdered George Floyd] did is acceptable.</p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> Would you agree there is an accountability issue?</p>
<p><strong>Officer:</strong> Maybe for some departments, especially smaller ones where they are closer knit. My department is huge, I see cops get fired all the time for breaking the rules. Even minor infractions can cost your career. I know someone who was almost fired for using Narcan to successfully resuscitate a drug addict because he did not have proper Narcan training prior to the event. But yea I’m sure there are departments out there still using the “Good Ole Boy” System. It’s not right but at the end of the day no one wants to rat on their friend.</p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> Trust me, I know what you’re talking about. I have seen it time and time again in the military. What do you think about defunding or demilitarizing the police?</p>
<p><strong>Officer:</strong> I buy all of my gear already. The idea that taxpayers are buying me top the line gear is just false. I was issued a Glock, belt, mags, ammo, and some accessories (mace, tazer, cuffs, ie.). I purchased a new sight for my service pistol, and then had to pay for training on the new sight before I could use it. I also had to use sick days just to attend the training. I paid for my vest and plates not my department. It doesn’t make sense to me how you can want police to be better trained and at the same time want to cut spending for training.</p>

<p>It is Jeremiah’s birthday, so he got Mark a gift. We tried to talk through the news. Trump tweets, Supreme Court decisions, a horse died in Wisconsin, Charlie Daniels died, Masks are required in Indy, and the NFL might change the name of their football team. Will Guffey get over it?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">As an undergrad getting ready to start my sophomore year in physics, I am enthralled just walking in the footsteps of the giants that came before me. To be honest though, I am just as excited learning about these giant’s personal lives, beliefs, and philosophies (is it to late to be a history major?). Sure, Johannes Kepler derived that planetary velocity is directly correlated with its distance from the sun so that the area created by the sweep of its radial vector is always constant given equal spans of time. But if you want a fact that you won’t forget, allow me to introduce you to astronomer Tycho Brahe.</p>
<p>Tycho was Kepler’s employer and he was, to put it lightly, a prideful son of a bitch. He is most famously known for his solid silver prosthetic nose, which he wore after losing his real nose in a sabre duel. Though the cause of the duel is largely conjecture, many historians claim that a mathematics dispute led to an argument, which then led to the skirmish.</p>

<p class="has-drop-cap">If late 16<sup>th</sup> century astronomers aren’t your speed, there are a plethora of recent scientists each with their own quirks and personal beliefs. My personal favorite is Albert Einstein. Mainly because at the age of 13 or so, I saw a poster in science class that featured Einstein’s charismatic face and the quote “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind”. For one reason or another, the image of that poster has stuck with me to this day. I was not brought up religious, but from an early age I had made up my mind that all of <em>this </em>was no coincidence. Though Einstein was not Christian, I think he would agree. Einstein was actually raised in a Jewish household, but in his adult life he very vocally denounced all Judeo-Christian versions of God. He equally separated himself from atheism but had no qualms with the label of agnostic. Reading his responses on religion in personal letters gives the sense that he is anything but agnostic. Perhaps, much like his theory of general relativity, his thoughts were just too complex to be labeled with any “ism”.</p>

<p>While Einstein may have possible been the most groundbreaking Physicist of the 20<sup>th</sup> century, his denunciation of an anthropomorphic supreme deity is, to no surprise, a common occurrence among the scientific community. Only about 30% of scientist in the U.S. admit to being “slightly”, “moderate”, or “extremely” religious. Compared with the national rate of 67%, the wide margin of difference is undeniable. The minority who practice both science and religion, I would imagine, are able to reconcile their beliefs with the data presented by their scientific research without too much difficulty. Aside from arguments made by the most devout creationist there is hardly anything in Christianity that prohibits a man or woman from such reconciliation. Still, the divide between the two is ever growing, with some scientists claiming religion to be a direct threat to their scholarly endeavors. The most notable in my mind is Richard Dawkins, author of <em>The God Delusion</em>.</p>

<p class="has-drop-cap">Biology tends to be the most controversial. We have all watched the protesting of evolution being taught in schools as well as the questionable morality of stem cell research. However, another field that seems to be in direct conflict with religion is my line of study, physics. While physics is a broad field with many sub fields, I think at its essence, it is the study of cause and effect. Universal laws of the universe are discovered and derived from both observational data as well as mathematical models. With every advance in physics the causal nature of universe is further revealed, adding to idea that our lives are pre-determined. In fact, many physicists both past and present, acknowledge their belief in a grand unifying theory of everything. A theory such as this would provide evidence for fatalism which directly conflicts with the teachings Christianity.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p><strong>We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes.</strong></p>
<p><cite><strong>Pierre Simon Laplace, <em>Laplace’s Demon</em>, 1814</strong></cite></p></blockquote>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">I won’t sit here and pretend to be privy to some secret cosmological truth after just two semesters of college. Better men than me have spent their entire lives pondering, only to leave this planet just as confused, if not more, than when they entered. A theory of everything would shake the foundations of my beliefs, no doubt, but I must admit I would commit my life and career to searching for such a theory if given the chance. Maybe this suggests that I would make a bad scientist, or perhaps that I am a bad Christian. Though I have no solid answers, what I do have is a head full of questions.</p>
<p>Do we really have free will? Will science ever prove it one way or the other? Will I be able to serve the Lord while simultaneously looking for evidence that many will use to claim his absence? If there is no free will, what should government look like? Why the hell are libertarians so intent on defending the individual’s free will?</p>
<p> My Christian beliefs offer a lot of relief to the headaches I endure. I believe the first answer is yes, God endowed each of us with the freedom to act on our own volition. For the last question, I can only offer my own reasonings: if God gave each of us free will, who am I to take it away? And for everything in the middle, I guess that only God knows.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p><strong>You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.</strong></p>
<p><cite>The Apostle Paul, <strong>Galatians 5:13</strong></cite></p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="has-text-align-center"><em>By J. Lee Miller, Jr.</em></h3>
<p class="has-text-align-left">Every Fourth of July if you are my friend on Facebook you get to endure two things from me. The first is a posting of the Declaration of Independence (the original Brexit) and my “’Murica meme dump.”</p>
<p class="has-text-align-left">All throughout the year I collect pro-America memes. I am sure you have seen memes like these: the ones that say “There are two kinds of countries in the world: the ones that use the metric system and the one that has been to the moon.” Most of these are tongue in cheek, over the top, made to be utterly ridiculous on purpose – you know, the American way. Some are a little more… <em>spicy</em>. Some push my libertarianism out there to get people thinking a bit: “Let us spy on every home and watch every street corner – Said no founding father. Ever.”</p>
<p>However, this year it just doesn’t feel the same. Mainly due to the George Floyd protests, I am just not sure I can do it this year. How can I put out all these statements of being pro-America when America does so much wrong?</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>Please don’t misunderstand me. I already knew that black lives mattered. I was for defunding the police before it was cool. <em>The 13th</em> lives on my “continue watching” list on Netflix. But everything in recent months just made it feel different. It made me think <em>should July 4th be my second favorite non-religious holiday</em>? I am not scared to challenge my own beliefs and see what happens, so I began thinking more about it.</p>
<p>I was watching a TED talk by Baratunde Thurston, “<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://youtu.be/RZgkjEdMbSw" target="_blank">How to Deconstruct Racism One Headline at a Time</a>” one day attempting to expand my – what I already considered extensive knowledge for a white person – knowledge and understanding of racism and systemic oppression.</p>
<p>During the hilarious and thought-provoking talk, a line struck me, and I simply could not get it out of my head. Thurston stated, “This word game reminded me that there is a structure to white supremacy; as there is to misogyny; as there is to all systemic abuses of power – Structure is what makes them systemic.” I simply could not get this out of my head. <em>Structure is what makes them systemic.</em></p>
<p>I will admit to you, for all my “wokeness” that I was so proud of, I had difficulty with the idea of “systemic racism” or “systemic misogyny.” For some reason it just conjured up in my mind this dark smoke-filled room with just white people or men or simply white men planning and plotting how to keep this other group down. <em>Yes, those things probably did happen in the 1950’s but its 2020 – people aren’t doing that anymore</em>, my mind would say. What I did not understand though was that is exactly the thing about systems of oppression: they do not need a smoke-filled room to implement oppression because <strong>it’s a system which works no matter who is in it</strong>. This is why good cops are mad right now, why teachers get upset when public schools are criticized, and politicians who try to do their best get so frustrated – there are good people trying to do good but the system around them perpetuates the negative outcomes. A system of oppression continues to work regardless of who oversees it. This TED Talk though had really got me thinking. I was really putting some pieces together and I just could not get it out of my head.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>A couple of days before watching the TED Talk, I was reading the Declaration, like all Americans do, just for fun. Just soaking-in some of it’s good phrases. Shortly, after listening to this TED Talk, it hit me that the Declaration of Independence challenged the systemic abuses of power in England. The Declaration states that “all men are created equal” throwing into the face of the king any idea that he is somehow better than other people simply because he is king. Going on to state that people have rights not because the king gave them in the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_Rights_1689?wprov=sfti1" target="_blank">Bill of Rights 1688</a> or the <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_Rights_1689?wprov=sfti1" target="_blank">Magna Carta</a></em>, but rather by God, a power that even the King of England could not deny. The Declaration goes even further by stating that in order to protect these rights “governments are instituted by men” not by a king, but men – the people. The Declaration detailed the many abuses of power that the King, and in many ways Parliament too, had enacted on the colonies at the time. If you set this list of grievances side by side with the American Bill of Rights, it becomes abundantly clear why the Bill of Rights was so important to the founders.</p>
<p>I would argue the Declaration setups every single advancement made in this country in the fight against systemic abuses of power by this government. Abraham Lincoln saw that the end of the American institution of slavery began with the words “all men are created equal.” In The Gettysburg Address, Lincoln challenges every American from the grave:</p>
<figure class="wp-block-pullquote">
<blockquote><p>The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.</p>
<p><cite>Pres. Abraham Lincoln, <em>The Gettysburg Address </em>| November 19, 1863</cite></p></blockquote>
</figure>
<p>I am beginning to believe it is these words that every liberty movement, from then until now, has unconsciously looked toward and knew it was their duty to further – that truly all people are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with rights that no person or government can alter, and it is our duty to those who have gone before us to further this idea. It is for this reason that we need to continue to challenge the current system of oppression not simply because it is the right thing to do but because it is the most American of ideas.</p>
<p>While I hold the Declaration of Independence dear, perhaps it is time for an update to the list of grievances against our current system and a reaffirmation of these rights:</p>
<ul>
<li>The officers of this government take the lives of citizens without trial or conviction.</li>
<li>This government enforces warrants with no notice to the occupants of the building.</li>
<li>This government has placed the number of barriers between its citizens and economic mobility so as to inhibit their economic progress.</li>
<li>This government on a consistent basis has unequally applied convictions to people of color.</li>
</ul>
<p>I will not pretend to be capable of such elegant writing as the writers of the Declaration of Independence, but I think you get the idea. It is time to list our grievances again to hold our leaders accountable, or even still run for office ourselves, to change the system of oppression that we currently challenge.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>For me this year and from now on, when I celebrate the Fourth of July I will not simply light some fireworks, eat some burgers, and celebrate leaving England. I will celebrate my fellow Americans for standing up to a system of oppression by the greatest military force at time, for ending the American institution of slavery, for establishing a woman’s right to vote, the <em>Civil Rights Act of 1964</em>, LGBTQ+ rights and that Black Lives Matter.</p>
<p>Let us not simply focus on the bad but recognize and celebrate how far we have come while focusing on where we still need to go. While I do not like everything America has done or is doing, I do love everything that she is supposed to be.</p>
<p>Happy Independence Day.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Need a laugh?  Let’s be real… America needs one, giant, collective laugh right about now.  </p>
<p>Well, in order to laugh, we need something to laugh at, which is why Adam Nutter joined the show!  Ha!  </p>
<p>See Adam?  I can make jokes too!</p>
<p>All kidding aside (until the episode, that is!), Adam is a stand-up comedian and host of the podcast “Nerds With Words”, which is a comedy podcast hosted by Adam and his associate, Neil Wood.  Adam is a self-described libertarian, which prompted me to ask, “how can libertarians share libertarian ideas, yet still be funny/not overtly political?”.</p>
<p>What transpired is a nearly hour-long conversation of fun, good laughs, and some A+ content.  </p>
<p>I’ve been sitting on this episode for a few months, so I apologize in advance for some of the dated references.  However, with today being July 4th, I thought this would be a great episode to share that will let you decompress from the intensity of the 24/7 news cycle. </p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“I have to vote for the lesser of two evils until the good candidate has a chance to win.”</p>
<p>You might think this sounds pragmatic, but really, it’s nothing more than glory-seeking cowardice.</p>
<p>Pioneers have defined our world. The first ones to stand against slavery will never have a stories written about them, but without them, we’d still have people in chains. The first people to leave their feudal lands will not be remembered in textbooks, but without them, we’d all be living in hay huts and praying at the feet of a monarch. The first humans to refuse to take their neighbor’s lands will not have their faces etched into monuments, but without them, we’d still be living in spear-wielding tribes of endless war.</p>
<p>Imagine a world where these brave people waited for the ideas of life, liberty, and freedom to become popular. If they waited to be the first of the winners instead of the last of the losers, we would never have evolved past homophobic, murderous, barbarous cavemen who lived short lives of meaningless death, emptiness, and hate.</p>
<p>I have a hard time persuading someone who espouses this “not right now” viewpoint because it’s not a matter of information. I can teach people good and bad things based on observational cause and effect. But I can’t teach someone courage. Being brave enough to do the right thing is something you either are or aren’t.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Zachary Burcham are your hosts, with guests Rusty Ecstien of Mount Comfort RV andPat Bremer of Small Trailer Enthusiast. Chris Guffey makes everyone sound good on the producer’s guest.<br />

<p>It is Independence Day Weekend and there is nothing more American than the great road trip. When you think roadtrip, you think about the RV. We found two experts that explain the industry. 90% of all of them are made in the state of Indiana along with nearly the entire supply chain. </p>
<p>In the face of COVID-19, people have changed the way they vacation and the RV industry has gotten slammed by new customers who don’t want to fly or stay in hotels, but still want to get away. Demand has been wild. Inventories are half of what they normally are, and you can barely even find a pickup truck on new dealer lots. </p>
<p>Jeremiah, Zachary, and Pat all share their big road trips and how they were able to make great vacations happen. Of course once you decide where you are going, you can probably give Rusty a call and he will hook you up with one of your own.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey liberty friends! I have a challenge for you: Think of someone who is passionate about something that you aren’t that excited about. Ask them where that passion came from. This is why:</p>
<p>I think the divide between the left and the right is less about hating each other and more about not loving each other.Yes, before you go looking for exceptions, there are people who hate each other, but this is not the majority of your friends, family, and co-workers.</p>
<p>Most right-leaning folks are OK with social freedom. Most left-leaning folks are OK with financial freedom. In spite of the media and politicians telling them to be fearful of the other side, we generally know these are lies, exaggerations, and distortions of the truth that people just want to be equal and free.</p>
<p>As a former right winger myself, I was always irritated with the left, not because of their hatred for my business (which they never explicitly voiced), but because they said and did NOTHING as my business was destroyed by regulations, taxes, and mandates.</p>
<p>But, in fairness to them, I remember that I didn’t really say much about social freedom until the Tea Party movement came along. After marching, working, and talking with people who had suffered from government’s equally brutal stranglehold of social issues, I was unable to go back to being quietly supportive. Being active in battles that weren’t my own didn’t just change my life, it changed the way I was received. I was trusted by the left in spite of my right wing history because I was no longer gently applauding from the sideline.</p>
<p>I don’t think preaching tolerance of the other side is working because I think we’re (mostly) tolerant today. What keeps us divided is that we allow the other side to exist, maybe even nod our heads at them or give them a polite back on the back, instead of heading into battle with them.</p>
<p>I don’t think the bulk of humanity looks at the murder of George Floyd or the crippling regulations on business and says, “Oh hell yeah, that is super cool!” But I do think the majority of folks have been tricked or tricked themselves into silence about one issue or the other.This has undoubtedly made me a better person, to explore issues that I don’t feel compelled to explore. I hope it will do the same for you, my friends!</p>
<p>This is where passion comes from. Don’t worry about losing the fire for your current passion. The beauty of love is that it is drawn from a well that never runs dry.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I often mention that libertarians need to have folks we can point to in the private sector as examples of libertarian principles flourishing in action.  Today’s guest is just such a person, as today I am joined by the Chief Marketing Officer of TigerFitness.com and Owner/CEO of the fastest growing supplement company, MTS Nutrition, Marc Lobliner.</p>
<p>Marc is a self-described “libertarian” but stated in viral tweet that said,</p>
<p>“I’m not Trump’s base. Not even close.</p>
<p>I just can’t ride with nearly everything the Democrat party stands for anymore.</p>
<p>I wonder how many Independents are like me?”</p>
<p>With that, I reached out to Marc to have him on the show to discuss just that: being politically independent/homeless outside of the traditional two-party system.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4 class="has-text-align-center"><em><strong>By Kyle Jacobs</strong></em></h4>
<p>In <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/2020/06/21/does-america-have-a-race-issue/" target="_blank">part one</a> I made the claim that racist individuals exist, and that very little could be done to combat this. I argued that the solution lies in limiting our ever-expanding government. I believe both points to be true, however I must admit it is slightly unfair for me to place <em>all </em>the blame on the government and their operating agencies. After all, government is nothing more than a slightly skewed reflection of ourselves. Looking inward at ourselves, we see a host of problems that arise on a national level and disproportionately affect racial minorities.</p>
<p>In part one, I hinted that racism, at the individual level, does not pose a significant threat to people of color. I’d like to take a moment and play devil’s advocate with myself in order to show how our actions, even at the most basic individual level, are compounded and exaggerated when multiplied by the entirety of the U.S. population.</p>
<h3>Workplace Discrimination.</h3>
<p>I want to preface this by saying I am by no means a condemning the free market. I believe it possible to advocate for a capitalist society while simultaneously pointing out its flaws. The American free market system is not without its flaws. And I believe some of the biggest flaws are due to the sneaky hands of government guised as the free market. Regulatory capture tends to prohibit minorities from creating innovative local business as do arbitrary permitting laws. However, the overall point I am trying to make is that racism exists outside of government so these will have to be ignored for now.</p>
<p>Just looking at the flaws in ourselves, we see that employers are much less likely to hire people of color. Putting numbers to this problem we see that employers are more than <em>twice </em>as likely to call an applicant back for potential interviews if there is no indication of the applicant being black. Not only does having dark skin place you at a disadvantage but by simply having a “black” name you may be subjected to discrimination by employers you will never meet. While it may only take Jerry Smith about 10 applications to receive a call back, a man with the name of “Jamal” or “Tyrone” will have to complete more than 20 applications.  </p>
<h3>Predatory Loans</h3>
<p>After the financial crisis of 2008, many of the banking industry’s misdeeds were brought to light. One action that banks took, intentionally or not, was to give people of color subprime loans. This was completely unrelated to the typical factors in loan decisions such as credit score and annual income. In fact, researchers found that that a black family with a yearly income of $200,000 thousand were <em>less </em>likely to receive a prime loan then a white family making $30 – $50,000 a year.</p>
<p>While subprime lending mostly ended after the bursting of the mortgage bubble, this does not mean that the relationship between people of color and banks has improved all that much. The problem is that black people are now much less likely to even be approved for loans. This is especially true for small black businesses.</p>
<h3>Racial Profiling</h3>
<p>One of the most frustratingly common tendencies that people across America have, is the tendency to call the police on our fellow citizens. This is at its heart a problem for all races, white people included. There is no reason in my mind why the capable adult should ever resort to calling men with guns to his neighbors’ home for loud music before ever even having attempted to remedy the complaint on their own. In my opinion, this stems from an unhealthy nonconfrontational mindset that is corrupting American minds. I have yet to hear someone try to justify passive aggressiveness as a virtuous trait, and yet I have heard many people say when talking about the uncourteous activities of neighbors that, “next time I will just call the cops”.  Though this is a problem across all races, people of color tend to be the greatest victims. Chan McNamarah’s scholarly article, “White Caller Crime”, points out the ludicrous nature of activities that black people have been engaged in, only to be interrupted by police.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>“Black people had the authorities summoned for sitting in Starbucks, Waffle House, sleeping in university common rooms, eating in university classrooms, making purchases, returning purchases, smoking cigarettes, moving into apartments, leaving apartments, going for walks, …”</p></blockquote>
<p>It is hard to make the argument that police and therefore government solely bear the weight of racism given that everyday hundreds of white Americans see black Americans partaking in peaceful activities only to assume that some crime must have taken place. Sadly, for many black people the result of this profiling and the consequential government intrusion, is a charge and sentence for a “crime” that would have never had taken place in the first place.</p>
<h3>“We the people…”</h3>
<p>To utter the phrase “you need to pull yourself up by your bootstraps” to black man or woman is either racist or ignorant. Personally, I believe that for most people this mindset stems from the latter trait. The statistics showing the oppression of people of color are not apparent unless you actually spend time reading and researching. This is something that the average person just does not do. Make no mistake, oppression is occurring.</p>
<p>When we refuse a man or woman employment based solely on their name, refuse to give them loans so that they can engage in business, and then assume that any activity they partake in deserves investigated by police, we are oppressing said man or woman. I say <em>we </em>because all of this is at the hand of us, not the government. It is easy to separate ourselves from the actions our government takes. It is not so easy to separate ourselves from the actions of the free market, which is a much more accurate reflection of who we are as a society. No, you and I may have never worked for a bank. We may have never worked in the hiring department of a company of any size. We may have never dialed 911 on any person because we suspected a crime occurring. But that does not change the fact that these grievances are occurring everyday by people just like you and me. Citizens of America.</p>
<p>Our government is racist. We, as a society, are as well.  </p>
<h4>References</h4>
<p>I relied heavily on outside sources for all the statistics that went into this. Whether you choose to agree with my premises and conclusions, I encourage you to take the time to do the research.</p>

<p>In the wake of the George Floyd murder, NASCAR has found itself above the fold in almost every newspaper in the country with driver Bubba Wallace. We talk about the background of Bubba.<br />
First the confederate flag was banned from NASCAR races and then a noose was found in the Petty Garage that fields the 43 car for Wallace. We talk about the investigation, the results, and the way all parties involved handled it. And how the internet reacted throughout.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An almost-war with Iran.</p>
<p>A failed (but needed) effort to remove Trump from office.</p>
<p>Australian wildfires.</p>
<p>Coronavirus.</p>
<p>Race riots.</p>
<p>Murder hornets?</p>
<p>If you are thinking that surely we have seen the the worst that 2020 has to offer, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I ardently believe you are wrong. The November election is taking shape to be a storm that could easily make these other disasters and near-disasters pale in comparison.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Yesterday’s primary elections (aside from bringing in several significant victories for the Democratic Socialists of America) provided yet another terrible preview of the disaster that the November election has the potential to be. We saw massive polling lines, some of them several hours long. We saw an extremely reduced number of polling places: for example, Jefferson County, KY had but a single polling place for over 610,000 voters. We are still seeing an incredibly slow publication of results due to the large influx of mail-in ballots.</p>
<p>While the “precaution” of cutting back on the number of polling places was done under the guise of protecting voters from COVID-19, it was done in a way that often disenfranchised minority voters and urban voters (this is especially true in Kentucky and New York City). I wrote previously about how this pandemic has caused a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/2020/03/17/a-clash-of-democratic-ideals/" target="_blank">clash between the democratic ideals</a> of mass enfranchisement and public safety. I have also written previously about how this clash has (and will) <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/2020/03/17/do-you-want-a-house-of-cards-season-5-election/" target="_blank">cause chaos and distrust</a>.</p>
<p>The primaries that took place across the nation yesterday, as well as the Georgia primary that took place earlier this month) have done nothing but make me double-down on the sentiments I expressed in those earlier pieces: our general election this year is in significant peril and I am not at all convinced that our rotting democracy is strong enough to withstand the coming storm.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Make no mistake: it is incredibly likely that Trump, his team, and his sycophantic GOP allies in state and local governments across the country will use the pandemic as cover to drive-down voter turnout through nefarious and various methods of disenfranchisement that not even Richard Nixon could dream of. Polls in urban areas will be limited in number and heavily policed. Polling places will be moved, combined, and shut down at the last minute (intentionally) in order to spread confusion among the electorate. They will make every effort to limit mail-in voting and other alternative voting methods.</p>
<p>Deliberate and racially-targeted voter disenfranchisement is Trump’s best hope at winning this election. He knows it, and so should you.</p>
<p>Even if the entire November election is on the up-and-up, it is already predestined to be illegitimate. If Trump wins, he will never escape the accusations of abusing his power and influence to disenfranchise voters. If Biden wins, he will never escape the allegations of mail-in voter fraud. For these reasons (and a plethora of others), America is in a lose-lose situation.</p>
<p>America has withstood hotly contested elections before. But after decades of waning public confidence and four years of Trump chopping away at institutional integrity (especially the integrity of the Justice Department), I doubt our democracy can survive an election where the winner will be considered illegitimate by default by 40+% of the population. No, American democracy has it has existed before will be nothing but nostalgia after November, 2020. The rumors and outright evidence of fraud and disenfranchisement, the almost certain recounts, the inevitably slow-to-report results, the possible delayed elections will all make sure of that.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’m very sympathetic to the idea of just dropping the conversation about race entirely. After all, it was an amazing vision that Martin Luther King Jr had when he conjectured, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” And while we once believed that humanity was a genus with several different species, scientific progress has shown us that there is only one human species and every single human is a member of that species. I am eager to embrace both dreams and facts, especially when both indicate passionately that this whole “race” thing is a farce.</p>
<p>But I can’t.</p>
<p>If I found out I had cancer, I cannot simply stop thinking about it and hope that it goes away. I have to remove it. That takes thoughtful action not only my part, but on the part of my family, friends, co-workers, and medical physicians. I would have to make arrangements and plans and be very specific about how my life would need to change before and after the operation.</p>
<p>Racism is a cancer and just like a cancer, it takes otherwise good parts of us and pollutes them with bad parts. We don’t always see it, but we feel its effects. And so we need to talk about how we’re going to treat it. Because, like it or not, we, as a society, have racism/cancer, and so we, as a society, have to go through an unpleasant procedure in order to get back to our normal, healthy selves.</p>
<p>Our standard conversations revolve around how bad or systemic the racism has gotten. Most everyone has a bias and would like to issue a prognosis that fits their world view. On one extreme, we have people that say almost everything and everyone is racist. They over-diagnose and exaggerate. They sometimes selectively apply it to excuse one kind of racism that they like (i.e. affirmative action, “killing people for being white is not racist”) and then condemn all white people as at fault for these problems no matter how much they try to be allies. They will even dismiss open-minded people who try to understand as individuals who can never understand and will always be part of the problem merely by existing.</p>
<p>On the other extreme, we have people say that this cancer is almost dead and retreating quickly. They believe that if the doctors would stop going on about it, it would die off. They tend to completely ignore the rationale for the drug war and, even if they accept that it was originally racist, will insist that plenty of white people are getting locked up because of it too, so it’s not linked to race anymore. They enjoy looking at a sample that is cancer-free and will exclaim, “Look, no racism here!” while conveniently denying other samples where the cancer has radically progressed.</p>
<p>Let’s balance these two sides. No, America is not one gigantic barely functioning racist cancer patient. There are huge swaths of the country that have put race aside. Maybe you, reader, live in a place like me, where if you have a Confederate flag on your car or get a tattoo of a Swastika, you will endure both property damage and physical harm. Maybe you even live in a place where social correction goes too far, where if you ask the wrong question, you face social exile or lose friends and family. But that doesn’t mean that these other areas don’t exist or can afford to be ignored.</p>
<p>Allow me to share a personal example. In perhaps the greatest error of my life, my dog developed a limp and I gave him aspirin. The aspirin took away his limp completely and he was a normal, healthy dog. We went mountain climbing together! Then, one day, he stopped eating and began howling in pain. It turns out that limp was cancer that went untreated for five years and it had spread to his stomach. It was inoperable and I had to put him down to end his suffering. I don’t regret killing him with intention that day; the part that haunts me is how I killed him through ignorance. I gave him aspirin when he needed surgery.</p>
<p>My point is that we have to stop fighting about how much cancer is there and start talking about treatment. It will grow in large or small quantities alike. And it will effect the good cells we’ve got if we do nothing.</p>
<p>The Doll Test became famous during Brown v The Board of Education. In it, they had a white doll and a black doll and would ask students, individually, both white and black, to point at the ugly, bad, or stupid doll. Invariably, they would point at the black doll. When asked to point at the pretty, good, or smart doll, they would point at the white one. Only when asked which one they looked like would the children point at different dolls. This means the white kids felt all of these good things that the white doll symbolized and the black kids felt all of these bad things that the black doll symbolized.</p>
<p>You might be heartbroken upon hearing this, but the news gets worse. They conducted the test again recently and found the same results in our current generation (you can view a compilation here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkpUyB2xgTM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkpUyB2xgTM</a>).</p>
<p>I want to think that we’re so much better than we were during the age of Jim Crow and before the Civil Rights Act. But we’re not. Maybe better in that we’re not calling people “boy” or “nigger” out in public. Legally, we’ve fixed quite a bit. But we’re stuck in the same mentality. The effect of some people feeling like they ugly, bad, and stupid persists. And any psychologist worth their salt will tell you that this absolutely effects their self-evaluation and their decisions.</p>
<p>It’s not just a problem that can be dealt with by black people alone. We must remember that the Doll Test involves many races coming to the conclusion that skin color determines more than it should and these kids will grow up into adults that we always hope grow beyond these prejudices. That hope has not come to fruition. If a black person and white person apply for the same job with identical resumes, the white person is far more like to be hired (you can read about the results of this test here: <a href="https://cos.gatech.edu/facultyres/Diversity_Studies/Bertrand_LakishaJamal.pdf">https://cos.gatech.edu/facultyres/Diversity_Studies/Bertrand_LakishaJamal.pdf</a>).</p>
<p>I am not an idealist. I understand that some people will be racist and there will always be these people. Let’s go back to the cancer analogy; our body is bombarded with cell mutations constantly. Most of them are benign, they aren’t healthy, but they won’t spread. They are freak accidents in which your body will recognize and fix the mutated cell or strand with a healthy one. I would say this is an acceptable place for the evil of racism, to exist in the form of a bad idea among people who are replaceable and powerless.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this kind of racism is not a benign cancer. It forms societies and gets involved. It forms voting blocs and multi-million dollar clubs. This is not some occasional swamp trash human making his way to the city and being laughed off. Racists are people that make it to popular debate stages, legitimize themselves through junk science and social media presence, and make demands. They’ve got enough of a voice that even our youngest children feel inferior or superior based on skin color before they even step foot outside of the home and into the classroom.</p>
<p>We’ve got to talk about it. We’ve got to kill this cancer for good. I feel like most people are in a reasonable head-space where we can make this happen. We just have to stop fighting about how bad it is and make a plan to get rid of the bad that it is. We have to do this together. Dreaming about a world that is cancer-free is great. And now it’s time to stop dreaming and make it a tangible goal.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Porter Enstrom is an undergraduate student at Georgia State University studying business economics and the philosophy of criminal justice.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The killing of George Floyd sparked national outrage and focused the country’s attention on police reform, yet many Americans believe “if you didn’t do anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.” These Americans are being deceived because far too often police officers are shielded from liability and we, the tax paying citizens, are forced to pick up the tab for their misconduct.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The time has come to require police officers to purchase personal liability insurance and stop paying for their egregious abuse of power that often violates our constitutional rights.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We would rightfully expect law enforcement with a history of misconduct to be disciplined by their respective departments, yet Pew Research Center conducted a study in 2017 and<a href="https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2017/01/11/behind-the-badge/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> found 72%</a> of police officers believe poorly performing officers are not held accountable. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If we can’t trust police departments to hold officers accountable, surely police officers can be sued for damages when they violate our rights, right? Wrong.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Joanna Schwartz, Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law, found that <a href="https://www.nyulawreview.org/issues/volume-89-number-3/police-indemnification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">99.98% of dollars paid</a> to victims of civil rights violations were by governments and not by the individual officer. This payment scheme is unfair to tax paying citizens and produces almost zero incentive for police departments to correct officer behavior.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not only is this behavior dangerous, it’s extremely expensive for the taxpayer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2006, 92 year old <a href="https://www.ajc.com/news/local/city-pay-slain-woman-family-million/GWqsgDArzmOhvpb7iPY6FI/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kathryn Johnston</a> was shot and killed by three Atlanta police officers executing a “no knock” warrant at her residence in West Atlanta. It was later found that one officer planted bags of marijuana in the house – this led to all three officers pleading guilty to <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/three-former-atlanta-police-officers-sentenced-prison-fatal-shooting-elderly-atlanta-woman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">federal charges</a> of “conspiracy to violate civil rights resulting in death.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 2010, a lawsuit against the Atlanta Police Department on behalf of Ms. Johnston was settled for <a href="https://www.ajc.com/news/local/city-pay-slain-woman-family-million/GWqsgDArzmOhvpb7iPY6FI/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$4.9 million</a>, all paid for by city taxpayers through indemnification.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The fact of the matter is that private insurance companies mitigate risk far better than any police department can even hope to accomplish.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Insurance companies have profit incentives to reduce risk of law enforcement behavior by imposing stricter sets of rules, identifying best practices, increasing premiums or even rewarding good behavior with discounts. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">John Rappaport, Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School, researched how insurance companies regulate police departments and found that “insurers prioritize policies on certain high-risk matters such as the use of force, vehicle hot pursuit, domestic violence, and the handling of intoxicated or mentally ill individuals.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If an officer repeatedly engages in misconduct – insurance companies would naturally raise premiums or impose a deductible in order to disincentivize bad behavior and mitigate their risk of coverage. This process is called loss prevention. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Loss prevention can include rewarding officers and departments for good behavior. John Rappaport found that law enforcement agencies who participated in accreditation with the <a href="https://www.calea.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies</a> (CALEA), a non-profit focused on certifying and auditing police departments, were given premium discounts from <a href="https://chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=12645&context=journal_articles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">20% to 25%</a>. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some insurers decrease payments for non-conventional programs such as “<a href="https://coffeewithacop.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Coffee with a Cop</a>” to build community trust and mitigate risk. Blaming officers for police misconduct is easy but fixing the structural problems of accountability is where true progress can be made.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The truth is if you didn’t do anything wrong, then you might not have anything to worry about – unless you pay taxes. Insurers will provide the necessary check and balance that government – so far, has failed to do. Our communities deserve better than to be handed a bill for millions of dollars’ worth of misbehavior. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4 class="has-text-align-center"><em>By Kyle Jacobs</em></h4>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>…but that doesn’t mean that the solution is we just “stop being racist”. Things are never that simple. The real problem is that racists have too much power.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">When you take your grandpa to the buffet and he makes a rude racial comment, you’ll probably apologize: “He’s just an old man I’m so sorry”, tip a little higher, and go about your day. The greatest grievance to come from all this is maybe a disheartened waiter and some embarrassment on your end. I do not mean to be dismissive of offensive comments made by old men, truly, but no riots or looting will ever ensue from the situation described.</p>
<p>Imagine that you vote that same man into governmental office. Any office would offer him enough power and influence to become a real public threat but for the sake of simplicity, let’s give this man the presidential office.  The havoc that he and his administration could wreak is unimaginable. The most obvious solution of all of this is: do not vote for a racist. Again, I <em>wish </em>it were that simple. Racism is usually not so easy to spot though. After all, Grandpa has never said the N-word; he’s laid back and he fly fishes! (If there’s anything that has major voter appeal, its fly fishing.) Adding another step in our hypothetical, let’s assume we all really thought he was a decent guy. But then he got into office. Now he’s using language and signing policy that is negatively affecting minority communities. Is not the solution still obvious? Just vote him out of there next election cycle. Problem solved!</p>
<p>No, problem not solved. And for many, many reasons. For one thing, it is only a matter of time before another closet racist sneaks their way into office. Over a hundred years have passed since slavery’s abolition but despite the continual march of time we are still dealing with it. Maybe one day all of this will be for irrelevant, but I think it’s safe to assume our children and their children will be dealing with racism in some form or another. It is unacceptable to have a system in which a racist can claim the most powerful office in the world, be it every other 8, 12, or 100 years.</p>
<p>Another reason is that by simply just voting him out, we have done nothing to remedy all the pain and harm already caused. To bring some perspective from current events, voting out Donald Trump in 2020 will not bring George Floyd back, it will do nothing for the migrant parents forever separated from their children, nor for the countless others that have been disenfranchised by his administration. The laws and policies created under his guiding hand will likely stay for some time to come. Legislation is hard to pass, and it’s even harder to repeal. The war on drugs has been largely recognized as a failed initiative for some time now. Even worse, it has been used to disproportionately target and incriminate black people. Fifty years ago, Nixon’s plan of “eradication, interdiction, and incarceration” was being sold as a solution to Americas problems. It is still being carried out by law enforcement across the nation today. If Trump manages to finish his wall before his term ends, I’d imagine it will stay standing for a long time if not forever.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">The solution I offer to racism may seem radical to some (especially to those who are not familiar with libertarians or their philosophy): we need to strip the government of its power.</p>
<p>We gave the government the power to control what substances we consume. They used that power to target minorities.</p>
<p>We gave the government the power to determine our justice. They used that power to jail a black mother for lying about her address to get her children in a better school district, while at the same time allowing Brock Turner to only serve three months for rape.</p>
<p>We gave them the power to regulate our self-defense. Now black citizens in the most crime-laden cities across the nation are either left defenseless or criminalized (to a great extent) for exercising their constitutional rights.</p>
<p>We gave them the power to regulate our charity. They used that power to create a welfare state that penalizes hard work and dedication to the point that a single black mother loses more by working then she gains.</p>
<p>We gave young men and woman a few months of trainings and then handed them Glocks. We told them “keep the streets safe” and gave them qualified immunity. This has directly led to countless shootings of unarmed black men and women.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">I want to drive home this point: unfortunately, racism is still alive today. I pray that given enough time our children will look at that word in their history books and not have the slightest idea of what it means, but for that to happen we need strip powers away from the institutions that prey on racial minorities. A lot of black men and women may feel that a limited government may mean less protection from your fellow man. It is my firm belief that it is not your fellow man that you need protection against. Though recent events have been troubling to say the least, they have sparked a unity between black and white people across not only the country but the entire world. We have been united by a common enemy. It’s an enemy that guises itself in good intention.</p>
<p>While I don’t believe all politicians are corrupt, we cannot afford to give even the righteous one’s power. Because one day, they will be replaced by someone who is corrupt.</p>
<p>It is going to be a long journey before black people can heal from trauma that has already been inflicted. The first step has already been taken: the people have been united. The second step is to stop further harm. I pray that we can find a peaceful means of transitioning to a truly free society. A society in which all men and women are not only created equal, but remain equal in the eyes of the law, regardless of race.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I won’t have any direct spoilers, but this is a review about <em>The Last of Us Part II</em>. So, if you don’t want to hear anything at all about it, stop reading now!</p>
<p>Before I really rip apart this shameful game, I really have to establish what makes good writing so good and bad writing so bad. It’s not a matter of preference, it is absolutely quantifiable.</p>
<p>William Shakespeare was an absolute giant when it comes to dealing with death. Each life that gets snuffed out is powerful, from villain to hero. The loss of life hits the comprehensive reader on many different levels. Most are sad, undoubtedly, but Shakespeare makes sure that each one has meaning, mixing other emotions into this sorrow like a master baker folding flavors into a dough.</p>
<p>He is not blunt or singular when it comes to illustrating death. Sometimes, the answer to the question of death is more questions. Julius Caesar’s fall is one of many great examples where one event sparked a fire in the cast and the audience alike to look inside and question concepts from power and revolution to friendship and betrayal.</p>
<p>You might say, “What if the writer wishes to convey the senseless or irrational loss of life? Wouldn’t making death important detract from that?” And that’s a great point! But Shakespeare, along with other notable existential and nihilist authors like Camus and Crane, are able to make an audience see these greater messages in the killing of their cast. Conveying a message of futility in the struggle is a message in and of itself, albeit a depressing one.</p>
<p>In life, death leaves us heartbroken and we can fail to see the momentary reason behind it. We, the readers, have an advantage over in-person disasters because we exist both inside and outside of the story. Like the characters in a play, we can be at a loss for understanding in the moment. But the perk to being a reader is existing both outside and inside all of the cast members for maximum perspective.</p>
<p>I am not trying to sound entitled here; making a statement with these tragedies is not for my benefit as an audience member. The reader is not owed an explanation by virtue of reading. Rather, this is a benefit for the writer to make their statement. There are some elite few, like Franz Kafka, that are careful to make every sentence they write worthy of paragraphs worth of analysis. Of course, this is a ridiculously high bar. But at the very least, even the lowest entry level author knows better than to let the death of a character go to waste.</p>
<p>Shakespeare should be required reading if you are a writer that attempts to deal with the realm of death. And you’re about to see why. Even if you can’t hit this high standard (nobody can, it’s OK), you see how death, in both small and large quantities, gets the sanctity needed to reach the reader with both feelings and a lessons.</p>
<p>So now that we’re familiar with what it takes to be the best, let’s see how some folks managed to be the worst.</p>
<p>The group of writers for <em>The Last of Us Part II</em> collectively failed the art of the script worse than any single amateur ever could. The first death is shocking and stupid. The rest of the deaths are just plain stupid. It’s clear they try to give these major murders and sacrifices some kind of impact with the “music” (I’ll get to this later), lighting (or lack thereof), and timing (which is really just making the scenes last for a long time). It becomes obvious pretty much everybody is gonna die and because they all lack personalities entirely, it’s only natural to detach yourself from their fates.</p>
<p>It does not help that the characters, including the central characters, lack any type of dynamic. They are all one-note in their emotions. Even when a character changes his/her mind about a course of action, the change is neither based on new information or new perspectives but some intangible and inexplicable mood, closer to a demon taking over their bodies than an actual change of heart; the idea that anyone on the team thought to give any character core values is laughable to all unfortunate souls who have finished the game.</p>
<p>At various points, the game plays through flashbacks like in a psychological thriller in which the protagonist remembers something that makes them behave differently than before. You’ve probably seen cases of moderate amnesia or seeing an item that causes childhood recollection used to this effect. But no one has memory loss. And no triggering object or event occurs. The director primitively crammed these hallucinations of the past as a tool to force the characters to stay on the script. By doing so, not only does the player have no idea who the characters are, it’s painfully blatant that the characters don’t know who they are either. They’re just doing whatever the writers wanted them to do based on how much coffee they’d had (or not had) on that particular day.</p>
<p>When somebody manages to live, it’s actually disappointing. The only idea the writers might have had is that everything ends in oblivion, all people are one dimensional meatbags, and death is a welcome break from this boring, slow slog of through life (and game). But sometimes an random bland person escapes in the game and so we’re left with not just an effort-free waste of time, but an effort-free waste of time that isn’t even worthy of conversation or critical thinking.</p>
<p>Game writers can potentially kill their whole cast of characters powerfully (see <em>Red Dead Redemption I</em> and <em>II</em>). But the lives of the inhabitants in this litter box of a game are like <em>Pikmin</em> or <em>Lemmings</em>. In these two games, while its advantageous to keep as many alive as possible, it’s cartoonish and silly when these minions inevitably die. Part of the charm is that the deaths are frequent and funny. Like these two games, <em>The Last of Us Part II</em> has so many deaths that you await them with a gleeful anticipation, completely devoid of devastation. It only adds to the comedy that somebody on the writing team saw fit to try to name these people and give them brief, unsympathetic, inconsistent, and yawn-worthy personalities, which is akin to the chore of memorizing the names and attitudes of cattle before they go to the slaughterhouse.</p>
<p>I am not opposed to simple, fun, and violent interactive media. Movies like <em>Joker</em> and <em>Shoot ’em Up</em> are legitimate diversions. <em>Call of Duty</em> and <em>Battlefield</em> franchises send out hordes of humanity at you while you indiscriminately wipe them out. It might look like the direction I’m going is the same one every alt-right Christian club goes after any video game depicting violence debuts. “If you kill people for fun in a game, you’ll kill people in real life!” they screech. I assure you, that is nowhere close to my point. I experience a euphoria from a good-old-fashioned bloodbath in a video game that makes me a very peaceful person outside of gaming sessions. Movies and games like this are just entertaining releases and no sane observer would ever be confused into thinking they demand imitation.</p>
<p>No, the danger of <em>The Last of Us Part II</em> is that without any semblance of reasoning why people live or die due to unapologetically lazy writing, it accidentally tells us to disengage in matters of death. It’ll either happen or it won’t, so why care? I can’t think of a more dangerous message to send than one that says, “Look at you guys getting all riled up about police brutality and contagious diseases. You can’t make a difference. And you might screw it up worse if you try. Let it go.”</p>
<p>The world is at the apex of an awakening to untreatable sickness and brutal murder. COVID-19 and the George Floyd backlash have given us over to talking about disease and assassination. Incredibly, this matches the game’s two motifs: viruses and murderers. How lucky did Naughty Dog (the developers) get when the circumstances of the world matched those of their creation? Had the game even been mediocre, they’d have organized a parade in the studio to celebrate this lucky break.</p>
<p>Heartrendingly, it turns out Naughty Dog actually knew how bad this game was. Instead of rushing the game when the world was hit by this crisis, like you’d expect a multi-million-dollar company to do, they actually tried to DELAY it until after the pandemic had passed. While it was too late to salvage this negligent project, at least somebody there had the sense to try and cover it up. The game was already a half-assed, half-witted, no-talent turd, so they attempted to make it forgettable by releasing it during a more mellow time. Unfortunately for them, the virus and protests grew in focus through new release date, cementing its place as a LEGENDARY standard for failure in the video game industry.</p>
<p>I should say that failing, even on a massive scale, is not always notable. <em>Shaq Fu</em> and <em>Umbrella Corps</em> were terrible games that had us demanding refunds. <em>Dragon Age II</em> and <em>Postal III</em> were let-downs because of how good the predecessors were. <em>The Last of Us Part II</em> combines the features of a horrendous game with the collapse of colossal disappointment. I wouldn’t be writing this review if it were just a bad game. This is the worst game ever made. And I mean ever.</p>
<p>I know this is an easy take. Even one day after it’s release, it’s universally hated. Even the good Metacritic scores, if you look carefully, tend to come from video game retailers who need the sales to survive. There’s scheduled a TV show based on <em>The Last of Us</em> on the schedule and the producers for that are already distancing themselves from this dismal trash.</p>
<p>The gameplay is slow, boring, and repetitive. I re-watched some of the big fights online to make sure I remembered them correctly for this article and was pleased that the YouTubers recognized how boring they were and trimmed down these thirty minute-ish repetitive grinds down into the couple of minutes where at least something is happening. The rest of the game is merely travelling between these dull fights. You’d like to get it over with quickly, but you constantly have to craft items that have no imagination in order to progress. The crafting is cumbersome and time-consuming. It’s not even that complicated, a real mental stimulation would have been welcome, but it was just a time drain.</p>
<p>The graphics, especially with character’s faces, take several massive steps backwards, especially when compared to other titles on the PS4. Most blood is just the color red on the given character model. There is an attempt to mask this with some liquid blood leaking over it, but the disconnect between the two dimensional blood and the spattered liquid blood makes it look even worse. It’s the equivalent painting a wall yellow and then taping a few pieces of wheat on it to represent a field. At one point, a character throws up and next the camera takes an angle in which you can see in front of her. The vomit is nowhere to be found. A character has his throat slit and the screen flashes to turn his skin green and his blood purple before going back to regular colors. I don’t know why they thought making him look like a space alien for a couple of seconds would make it more horrifying. For a game that is aggressively gross, they miss every opportunity to make the grotesque situations immersive. These glaring errors combine with the missteps addressed already to make it so that you’ll never have to worry about being “sucked in” to the game.</p>
<p>The soundtrack might also be the worst ever. I just listened to it and it’s mostly ambient noise with an occasional stock chord progression from a guitar and/or tambourine thrown in whimsically. I am not a musical theorist, so I don’t have the precise words to explain how feeble the attempt was. It hits the ears like a mix of a last-minute homework assignment and a cassette that got left on by accident in the middle of a lifeless, windless field. This becomes a huge problem that further ruins big moments. There are two artistic ways to go about amplifying tensity; the first is to have no music, the second is to have a crescendo. Instead, what we get is a middle ground where people are sneaking around corners or being strung up for crucifixion to the tune of a babbling brook and a lackadaisical strum on a banjo even though no brook or banjo are anywhere to be found. Did somebody forget to tell the artist this music was for an action-based zombie game and not a redneck sauna?</p>
<p>The performance they turned in on the voice acting inexcusable and unforgivable. If it was your kid’s 3rd grade school play, you’d walk out. A group on horseback will have one rider make the inflections with her voice like the horse is moving and the other will not. In one particular winter scene, a group of people inside a warm building can be heard chattering their teeth. Two people come in after riding out in the cold all day and speak as though they’ve been at the Bahamas. There’s got to be at least eight different ways to say, “Where is she?” which is a line that comes up frequently. Depending on who you’re speaking to, you might be desperate, direct, inquisitive, pleading, etc. But you’ll only ever hear it spoken one way. There’s lots of grunts, groans, and screams, that don’t match up with the action on the screen in sound or intensity. This is likely sloppy work on the programming side. If an attack happens, you’ll hear a random “hurt” noise, but the type of hurt was not considered by either the actors or the programmers.</p>
<p>If you think about it, the odds are quite low that you actually get to experience the worst product in any specific field. You will probably never use the worst broom of all time because it won’t test well, won’t be on the shelves for long, and the reviews will be so bad that you’ll stop yourself from purchasing it. There is a slim chance you will ever hear the worst songs ever written because they won’t be on the radio, the album won’t find a producer, and a good agent will step in and force an artist to drop a song from a track list if it tests poorly. For you to experience the absolute worst of something, you usually have to be incredibly unlucky, like getting hit by a bolt of lighting in a city or having an icicle fatally drop on your head.</p>
<p>Which makes <em>The Last of Us Part II</em> particularly momentous. All of the safeguards that should have stopped most of us from experiencing a truly 0 out of 10 game failed. The retail stores needed the sales, so they compromised their integrity by saying it was good. The studio over-hyped the game, submitting it for the most anticipated game of the year award in each of the last few years (it one on more than one occasion). Current events created a market need for a story that involves death through illness and mobs. With the entertainment industry suffering because of the downturn in the economy and the restrictions in place, the developer had to stick with the worst writers, musicians, graphic designers, testers, and actors they could access. Then they had to make them famous and disperse their abysmal work on a global scale.</p>
<p>Video games are wonderful things that can fill children and adults with a desire and a hope that they can be a superhero someday. Playing <em>The Last of Us Part II</em> is like watching your dog get hit by a car. There’s nothing good about it and nothing to be gained. At best, it’s harrowing and you will go through a healthy process so that you can move on. But it can also haunt you and scar you. Not in a way that helps you grow, but in a way that keeps you from growth. Surrounding this game is a league of superior games that tell you to fight disease, make good decisions, and stand up when you see someone being murdered by authorities. Conversely, this half-hearted submission unintentionally takes the stand that caring about important stuff is a waste of time.</p>
<p><em>The Last of Us Part II</em> will live forever as a testament to a complete lack of effort. That’s actually a good thing, we can always use a reminder for what results happen when we give our barest minimum. My fear is that it will also be remembered for its glorification of surrender.</p>
<p>It’s one thing to be the worst game ever made, it has that locked up with no competition. But it’s another thing to tell a world of fighters to just give up. Who you are matters. What you do matters. Don’t let the folks who gave you this appalling affront to gaming tell you differently.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger marched into Galveston, Texas with approximately 20,000 Union soldiers. Upon arriving and taking control of the formerly-Confederate state, Granger read <em>Order No. 3</em>, which declared the freedom of the state’s remaining 250,000 slaves, effective immediately. (The full ext of <em>Order No. 3</em> can be found at the bottom of this post.)</p>
<p>These 250,000 slaves were some of the very last to be freed in America. Their freedom came two months after Robert E. Lee had surrounded to Grant at Appomattox, Virginia. Their freedom came two years after President Lincoln issues his <em>Emancipation Proclamation</em>. Late as it was though, their freedom that arrived on June 19 marks the commonly agreed to final abolition of slavery in America (except for the pesky little clause in the 13th Amendment that continues to permit it, of course).</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Americans typically view July 4, 1776 as our collective “independence day”. I’ve long been of the opinion that this is bullshit. That date and the <em>Declaration of Independence</em> did nothing for enslaved Black Americans; that date and document did nothing for women; they did hardly anything at all for the poor, marginalized, and non-politically connected. July 4th was the independence day for a few of the elite of American colonial society, nothing more. So long as some are oppressed, none of us are truly liberated. So long as there is tyranny, none of us are truly free.</p>
<p>Juneteenth though, that is a different story. Rather than a day when freedom, liberty, and justice were recognized <em>for some</em>, Juneteenth is a day when freedom, liberty, and justice were (at least in spirit, if not in action) acknowledged <em>for all</em>. And that is a day worth celebrating.</p>
<p>Obviously, the emancipation of those final Texas slaves did not fulfill all the promises laid out in the Declaration of Independence for all Americans. The vile history of Jim Crow, Southern redemption, segregation, mass incarceration, etc. all attest to this tragic truth. But, the Juneteenth emancipation – despite the shortcomings of America in the decades that followed – still stands worlds above July 4 as a day to celebrate independence and humanity.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p><em>GENERAL ORDERS, No. 3</em></p>
<p><em>Headquarters District of Texas<br />
Galveston, TX, June 19, 1865</em></p>
<p class="has-drop-cap"><em>The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property, between former masters and slaves and the connection heretofore existing between them, becomes that between employer and hired labor. The Freedmen are advised to remain at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts; and they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back, folks!  Brad Polumbo returns to the show this week, and what a perfect time for him to come back on, as one of Brad’s main focuses (criminal justice reform) is leading the headlines across the nation in response to the George Floyd murder at the hands of the police. </p>
<p>Brad joins the show to specifically focus on ending qualified immunity and ending no-knock raids, two proposals currently being considered by the House and Senate thanks to the work of Congressman Justin Amash and Senator Rand Paul, respectively. </p>
<p>Brad and I conclude by looking at the Libertarian Party and what is holding Brad back, despite being a registered Libertarian, from considering the Libertarian Party seriously in the 2020 election.  </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>The idea of “Jubilee Economics” has been appearing in the public discourse more and more since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. But what exactly is Jubilee? Who does it help? Why should it be implemented?</em></p>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Through this <a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/category/jubilee/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">eight-part series</a>, </em>Heretic <em>editor Ryan Lindsey gives an ethics- and faith-based case for the radical economic and social concept of Jubilee.</em></p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<h2>Debt and Racial Justice</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">This was not a planned part of my series on Jubilee economics, but given the way that systemic racism has once again reared its ugly head in America over the past few weeks, I felt like there was no way for me to ethically avoid discussing the connection between debt and racial injustice.</p>
<p>Specifically, I want to take a look at student debt, and the way that it hinders economic progress and reinforces racial wealth inequality.</p>

<p class="has-drop-cap">According to the Center for American Progress, as of 2016 the median white household’s wealth was $126.1k, whereas the median black household’s wealth was just $10.1k. The disparity between average wealth was (is) even greater: $935.6k for white households but only $102.5k for black households.</p>
<p>Contrary to many conservative talking points, this is not the result of “cultural issues”, “laziness”, or a “lack of industriousness” – those are nothing but thinly-veiled dog whistles to the prejudiced. No, this racial wealth inequality is the direct result of America’s racist past and present. It is a fact that centuries of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, and other forms of systemic racism have led to general generational wealth disparities between white and non-white Americans.</p>
<p>This racism is easy to track in American public policy:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <em>Land Act of 1785</em> transferred land (wealth) to white men only.</li>
<li>The <em>1866 Homestead Act</em> failed to transfer public lands available to white farmers to newly freed black farmers and communities.</li>
<li>Throughout the Jim Crow era, white people were able to use violence to steal the land and wealth of black people with zero legal repercussions (see the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://tennesseeencyclopedia.net/entries/memphis-race-riot-of-1866/" target="_blank">Memphis Race Riot of 1866</a> or the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.history.com/topics/roaring-twenties/tulsa-race-massacre" target="_blank">Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921</a>).</li>
<li>The Federal Government routinely denied patents to black innovators and gave them to white copycats.</li>
<li>Black citizens were largely excluded from many New Deal economic assistance policies that whites benefited from.</li>
<li>Black World War II veterans were largely excluded form the GI Bill, which was pivotal in establishing a white middle class.</li>
</ul>
<p>In his 1974 work <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1007/BF03040684" target="_blank"><em>Wealth Distribution and its Impact on Minoritie</em>s</a>, Robert S. Browne presented shocking figures about racial wealth inequality showing that black families owned only 1.9% of total American wealth, with approximately $18.3 billion in assets compared to the $941.9 billion owned by white families. In 1966, black families owned only:</p>
<ul>
<li>3.5% of the total value of American home equity</li>
<li>1.2% of the total value of government bonds</li>
<li>1.2% of the total value of farm equity</li>
<li>1.2% of the total value of business equity</li>
<li>1.1% of all the money in banks</li>
<li>0.1% of the total value of all stocks</li>
</ul>
<p>This trend of severe inequality has continued into the present day. It is so powerful that not even the mythical leveler that many like to imagine education being cannot overcome it. A 2011 study by the Insight Center for Community Economic Development shows that regardless of education level, white Americans in general still have more wealth than black Americans. In fact, a white college drop-out or holder of a 2-year Associates Degree is likely to have more wealth than a black American with post-graduate education.</p>
<ul>
<li>Black high school dropouts have an average of $1.5k in wealth; white high school dropouts have an average of $34.7k.</li>
<li>Black high school graduates have an average of $3.2k in wealth; white high school graduates have an average of $78.3k.</li>
<li>Black Americans with some college have an average of $7.1k in wealth; white Americans with some college have an average of $86.2k.</li>
<li>Black college graduates have an average of $23.4k in wealth; white Americans college graduates have an average of $180.5k.</li>
<li>Black Americans with post-BA/BS education have an average of $84k in wealth; white Americans with post-BA/BS education have an average of $293.1k.</li>
</ul>
<p>All of this is a direct result of racist culture and public policy.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">In the script of the American dream, education is supposed to lead to wealth. However, the facts and history make it clear that this is not the case for black and brown Americans.</p>
<p>In order to finance higher education, black families already suffering from generational wealth inequality are forced to rely much more heavily on student debt (and riskier forms of student loans) than white families. These risks are only enhanced by other racial disparities in American universities, such as for-profit universities that regularly engage in race-based targeting.</p>
<p>These racial disparities continue even after graduation, in the forms of lower levels of familial wealth, discrimination in the job market, lack of opportunities, etc. All this means that black students are more likely than white students to default on their student loans, have high interest rates, and overall higher debts. The American dream says that education is the key to wealth and success. But for far too many black Americans, higher education is a debt trap that only serves to perpetuate racial wealth inequality.</p>
<p>At every level of high education, black students in general have to take on high levels of student debt than white students. Thus, cancelling student debt (Jubilee!) at every level of higher education would disproportionately help black students and families, which would begin to help level out the racial wealth inequality in America.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Now, this is not to say that cancelling student debt would cure racial wealth inequalities. The problems of student debt and racially unequal access to capital are linked, but still very independent problems. I believe that debt cancellation is a tool to relieve racial inequality, not cure it. The fact that black college graduates still have less wealth on average than white high school drop-outs (as I pointed out earlier) is impacted by student debt, but is much more driven by an utterly insufficient amount of assets and capital for black communities.</p>
<p>Education alone is unable to address the centuries-long discrimination against black Americans from capital and wealth, the systemic economic racism of this country. In truth, I believe that the most just approach to racial wealth inequality would be (in addition to student debt cancellation) a large-scale, thorough, and extremely comprehensive reparations program. This program must result form a cultural shift and it must acknowledge America’s history of economic injustice, and the terrible consequences of those injustices in the present day. This system of reparations should compensate for the sins of history and seek to level racial wealth inequality.</p>
<p>In other words, we need a Jubilee.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Christian Watson is a political writer based out of Georgia and a Young Voices Advocate. He can be found on Twitter at @</em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/a7f6acaa310654476a503d84194a61a77c3d8a95?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FOfficialCWATSON&userId=5686760&signature=bded987d132fd333" target="_blank"><em>OfficialCWatson</em></a><em>.</em> He also hosts a podcast titled, “<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/2204d7b7af6d13d9fbd143dc4b688b2046f2a7ed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpodcasts.apple.com%2Fus%2Fpodcast%2Fpensive-politics%2Fid1499924822&userId=5686760&signature=b5fe042ec4651919" target="_blank">Pensive Politics</a>.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the mass outrage over George Floyd’s unjust death <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/a9bcdc352c39d3465915b65e45ac1aed060b0823?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2020%2F06%2F10%2Fus%2Fprotests-black-lives-matter-george-floyd.html&userId=5686760&signature=664a877e1a4a01c9" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">continues</a>, the decades-old mentality of “law-and-order” has re-emerged in American political discourse, and unfortunately, many</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">conservatives have jumped on the bandwagon. But that line of thinking does nothing to fix the problems at hand—because less punitive crime prevention methods are both ethical and more effective. That’s why conservatives should pursue alternatives to strict law-and-order that better reflect their ethics—namely <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/90dc22486cb0c0d3e8b62c866e2665bcc72eedcb?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apa.org%2Fmonitor%2Fjulaug03%2Frehab&userId=5686760&signature=619d3bedcad406b3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rehabilitation</a> and <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/be8393f3d0b683b6a631549a9f69e65180de121e?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcops.usdoj.gov%2Fhtml%2Fdispatch%2F05-2018%2Fwalking_a_beat.html&userId=5686760&signature=a0f6b0500124ba0d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">community policing</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a speech on June 1, President Trump <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/ea700dfa3b447d2b048e0b360fa4f95c784ac630?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftime.com%2F5846347%2Ftrump-law-order-george-floyd-protests%2F&userId=5686760&signature=129b3c89756994ac" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">declared</a> himself the “President of Law and Order,” and since then, he’s regularly <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/5a48dfe22d46cc45c7c8382c9fa58764945cd294?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FrealDonaldTrump%2Fstatus%2F1270018789250400257&userId=5686760&signature=4d97f9e22ca5d857" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">harped</a> on that theme. Meanwhile, one writer for the <em>Federalist </em>even <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/dbe097d77b05bb0dc8f0a07abb775ca23d4bfe23?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthefederalist.com%2F2020%2F06%2F03%2Frepublican-leaders-need-a-lesson-in-law-and-order-from-richard-nixon%2F&userId=5686760&signature=a276e550ff51b8ad" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">called</a> for conservatives to embrace the Nixonian War on Drugs-era law-and-order. But, for anyone interested in genuine reform, this a terrifying prospect. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Law-and-order rhetoric doesn’t even reflect true American conservative principles, anyway. True conservatives revere America’s founders, who rebelled against a legal order established by a foreign king they deemed anathema to their own self-determination. And while a law-and-order mindset reserves problem solving for pressing issues like crime prevention and community stewardship solely for government agents, many conservatives support community <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/682c4c89ca254351a36f431d2a4652c5dfdf93d8?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalreview.com%2F2016%2F08%2Fwelfare-reform-20th-anniversary-conservative-poverty-solutions-still-needed%2F&userId=5686760&signature=ff352af677667b58" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">solutions</a> to these matters. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The conservative ethic is <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/ecfe60ce88afc93d36accdfd7d9d8499e807fed4?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkirkcenter.org%2Fconservatism%2Ften-conservative-principles%2F&userId=5686760&signature=089f496203fabf0c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">expressed</a> by philosopher Russell Kirk in his essay “Ten Conservative Principles,” in which Kirk advocates adherence to “custom, convention, and continuity” — in other words, tradition. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The American conservative tradition is one of defiance against injustice. Founding events like Patrick Henry’s rebellion-inciting “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech, or the Boston Tea Party’s then-illegal anti-tax protest—from which the modern-day conservative Tea Party took its name—gave shape to this tradition. Unlike law-and-order supporters, the Founders, who conservative pundits <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/27caa9207bfd2de18731590ffae6585e4a3e3cd7?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DcmVO_SdnnvU&userId=5686760&signature=2720825ee82c5d07" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">praise</a> continuously, <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/bb51fd6719f0f499a2e76e022ee05b936a9e1ebb?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.history.com%2Fthis-day-in-history%2Fstamp-act-imposed-on-american-colonies&userId=5686760&signature=f19a16977a071299" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">abhorred</a> laws that harmed their rights. In The Declaration of Independence, the Founders even <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/73048850637ce0ab3f879ef107912265fbd28e8b?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ushistory.org%2Fdeclaration%2Fdocument%2F&userId=5686760&signature=13453e4274533ac6" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">encouraged</a> the people to “alter or abolish” the government if it became corrupt. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’m not advocating for a revolution, but like the Founders, American conservatives should hold government powers to a high standard. And by endorsing practices like community policing and rehabilitation, conservatives do just that in a manner consistent with their beliefs. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During his first inaugural address, beloved conservative figure President Ronald Reagan famously said that “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Though conservatives in general honor Reagan’s legacy, <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/f7361bad6639f433dd7be29c949cf9706be36c65?url=https%3A%2F%2Fobserver.com%2F2015%2F08%2Flose-one-because-of-the-gipper-republicans-fail-the-reagan-test%2F&userId=5686760&signature=6756205c172720ad" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">holding</a> every other presidential contender to his example, and while most conservatives want less intervention from the government on most social issues, still many see the government as the <em>solution </em>to lawlessness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In conservative circles, issues of education, religious freedom, gun rights and welfare are all met with a similar refrain: Keep the government away!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So why in the world don’t conservatives treat criminal justice the same way? Instead of law-and-order, which is punitive and diminishes the community’s power to address the causes of crime, conservatives should advocate for methods that empower individuals within their own community. </p>

If conservatism pushes for small government, then community-oriented solutions are the only alternative. Also, community approaches to criminal justice trump punishment-based ones. In Ohio, for example, in 2011 Republican Governor John Kasich implemented a criminal divergence program, which <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/901e2aac640f166abd1ae596f4e489e81e59ade5?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnationalreentryresourcecenter.org%2Fposts%2Freforming-a-system-an-inside-perspective-on-how-ohio-achieved-a-record-low-recidivism-rate%2F&userId=5686760&signature=dee3d060d3316371" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shrunk</a> the state’s recidivism rate to 31.2 percent over the course of a year — the <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/2d7ab52a7464731b8ba6aaf25f883b8407067991?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnationalreentryresourcecenter.org%2Fposts%2Freforming-a-system-an-inside-perspective-on-how-ohio-achieved-a-record-low-recidivism-rate%2F&userId=5686760&signature=303800190ee9bbd0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lowest</a> “since Ohio began tracking the figure using current methods in 1991.” This program involved classic community-oriented strategies, such as “diverting first-time, non-violent offenders to intensive community programming and away from the corruptive influence of career criminals in Ohio’s prison system.” More generally, the <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/12f851cda93fbeb429cc20bbcfb73275aa257825?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nccdglobal.org%2Fnewsroom%2Fnews-of-interest%2Fpunishment-fails-rehabilitation-works&userId=5686760&signature=bdf8c2e9773c0785" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">results</a> of rehabilitation and community-based practices are in step with Ohio’s sterling success. Less crime means less law-and-order, and more consistent conservatism. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ultimately, conservatives already have the answer to criminal justice reform deep within their ideological precepts. As Ronald Reagan once <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/e9a0e995083beedb00d6fe0e5c44456264641d23?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DxhYJS80MgYA&userId=5686760&signature=023ef5baed147cb4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wagered</a> during a speech on Aug. 12, 1986, “The nine <em>most terrifying words</em> in the English language are: I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help.” </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The question remains: Will conservatives remember their roots, or buckle to the throes of passion? </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I will try to say this carefully: If you insist on being a left or right libertarian, you are sowing seeds of discord and are a liability to the movement. It’s alright if you’re still left or right for now, but it will have to change. Allow me to explain.</p>
<p>We’re almost all familiar with the political compass, but a refresher never hurts. On the far left, there’s economic slavery. On the far right, there’s social slavery. At the very top, there’s those who want both both kinds of slavery. At the very bottom, there’s those who want neither kind of slavery.</p>
<p>All libertarians are going to be close to the bottom. And I don’t want to demean those who are close to the bottom. This is a good start! But it is not the finish line. Saying that a little bit slavery, regulation, or oppression is tolerable or necessary is a problem that must be ironed out.</p>
<p>Most libertarians have good intention for being left or right. Right libertarians believe that limited power can be a tool to keep property respected and use it to stop any specific group for getting an unequal amount of rights. Left libertarians believe that limited power can be used to stop discrimination and keep corporations in check.</p>
<p>But these are fundamentally untrue. The spirit of all of these things is a fair goal to achieve. But politicians don’t use authority, even a little authority, to abuse the people you think. Property regulations, inequality, discrimination, and crony corporations are not decreased by government; they are increased by it. Only through immense cultural pressure will government ever pretend to do the right thing.</p>
<p>This is why we must reject all slavery. No amount of it is acceptable. It’s fair to be more passionate about one or the other. But we must understand the level of desperation by those who are passionate about economic and social freedoms as well. I can spend 100% of my time talking about financial or personal freedom; having a specialty and a focus is great! I only ask for acceptance that the other half of this is what makes our equation make sense.</p>
<p>So why is this so important? Why can’t we just have libertarians that don’t care so much about economic or social slavery, use them when they’re right, and ignore them when they’re wrong? The short answer is unity. And we won’t get either economic or social freedom without it.</p>
<p>I continue to believe that most conservatives and liberals are libertarians. And we will show them that message by unifying. Yes, there are some conservatives who want limitless economic freedom but are only OK with individual freedom so long as you keep it in your home. But I don’t think that’s the majority. Yes, there are some liberals who want limitless social freedom but want to regulate all economic interactions through a tyrannical government regime. But I don’t think that’s the majority.</p>
<p>I find that when I criticize conservatives or liberals for their policies, they are eager to separate themselves from these positions of control. This is a good thing. Are there conservatives and liberals that embrace controlling aspects over people’s lives, either economic or social? Yes. Horrifyingly, these people tend to find their way into leadership. I know of almost no conservative that would ban couples from adopting children. I know of almost no liberal that would ban all air travel for non-politicians.</p>
<p>Yet, these are actual policies put forward by politicians who claim to lead conservatives and liberals. And, by extension, their followers find themselves defending these ideas they would never have had the audacity to put forward themselves.</p>
<p>The two extremes, left and right, are equally bad. Choosing between economic and social slavery is a false choice and most people know it. But we feel we have to choose. And, by the nature of government, lives literally depend on the outcome of these elections.</p>
<p>This is why unity is of paramount importance. They are looking for somebody that clearly has their interests in mind. They will not support a movement that tolerates a little bit of slavery for any aspect of their lives. The idea of losing that freedom is what has led them to become Republicans and Democrats to begin with. So we cannot appear to be 90% in favor of any area of liberty.</p>
<p>We need to believe in 100% liberty for both economics and socialization. And if we settle on any destination other than this, then we settle on failure through division and ignorance.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Liturgical services have an officiant, they have acolytes, and they have a congregation. So does racism.</em></p>
<p class="has-drop-cap">First there are the officiants. In religious services, this role takes the form of a priest, a rabbi, a worship leader, a pastor, an imam, etc.</p>
<p>In racism, the role of officiant is held by those who are the direct perpetrators of racism and racial injustice. These officiants can take many forms, from the edgy friend that likes to tell awful jokes to the politicos who pass laws and policies that harm our black and brown neighbors (for example, policies that disproportionately neglect schools in majority-minority areas, enact stricter penalties for drugs more popular among minority communities than whites, or provide public assistance unequally).</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Next, there are the acolytes. In religious services, the acolytes are those who have ceremonial duties that they perform as a functional and ceremonial part of the religious service. Candle lighters, cross-bearers in processionals, those who pass out the Eucharist, and church bell ringers are all examples of acolytes.</p>
<p>In a sense, the acolytes are the enablers of the officiants in religious liturgy, and this is their function in racism as well. The enablers, the acolytes of racism are those who give their explicit approval to the despicable racist actions occurring around them – those who laugh at and encourage the racist jokes. The enablers, the acolytes of racism are those who carry out the racist policies such as the ones mentioned previously – the bureaucrats, the police, the soldiers, the administrators.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Last, there is the congregation. In religious service, the congregation is the most obvious group. Congregants are those who attend the service (and in some ways at some times participate in the service). Those who sit in the pew, those who sing along with the opening music, those who read along in their sacred texts, or offer prayer requests. Once the officiant and acolytes are identified, everyone else is the congregation. We congregants depend on the efforts of officiants and acolytes and for the most part, we simply go along with their actions and follow their words during the time of liturgical service. The congregants are the bystanders, those who witness what is happening but take no action to intervene in the course of events.</p>
<p>In racism as well, the congregants are the bystanders, those who hear the racist joke and don’t laugh, but don’t tell the friend to cut it out either. The congregants are the bystanders: those who witness their congressperson support racist legislation but are too lazy to do anything about it; those who see the cop bullying a group of immigrant kids and keep on walking the other way; those who witness the continuation of segregation in our schools, cities, and churches but make no efforts to change things.</p>
<p>As I write about congregational bystanders, I think of myself all too often. I think about the nights spent with friends when countless (intentional and unintentional) racist things have been spoken with not nearly enough opposition from me. I think of Thanksgiving and Christmas lunches, where a family member makes a racist claim or expresses a racist attitude, with not nearly enough opposition from me. We congregants often make excuses for each other and ourselves in times like this: “Well, you know Grandpa, he’s just from a different generation,” or “That’s just how she was raised,” or “Yeah, that was racist, but he’s a great guy.”</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Congregants provide a critical piece of feedback to officiants and acolytes. We let them know that what they are doing is good, or uninteresting, or confusing. We are their feedback loop, their audience. Bystanders also teach their fellow bystanders a very important and dangerous message: being racist, doing racist things is acceptable because white bystanders are fine with it and you can get away with it. We bystanders create safe spaces with our silent complicity of racism – but not safe spaces for the marginalized and oppressed among us, no; safe spaces for those doing the marginalization and oppressing. We create safe spaces top foster racism, to let it swell and boil unchecked in society. It is from that toxic swamp of racism maintained by our complicity that so my horrible actions rise up from – the hunting and lynching of Ahmaud Arbery, the murder of George Floyd, the meeting of peaceful protestors with riot cops and rubber bullets. The complicity of the congregants creates an obvious atmosphere that undeniably says that when white people do terrible things to black or brown people, the rest of the white congregation has their back.</p>
<p>Even when we congregants don’t do anything explicitly bad or racist (as is often the case), that is not nearly enough. If we are not being explicitly anti-racist, if we’re not challenging our friends, family, cops, and public officials when they say and do racist things, then we are guilty through complicity. We are maintaining the environment of social permissiveness towards racism, and by doing this we make the bodies of our black and brown neighbors the bread and their blood the wine of our unholy Eucharist.</p>

<p><cite>Howard Zinn</cite></p></blockquote>
<p>In matters of oppression and evil, there is no such thing as “neutrality”. That there could be is a lie pushed by conservatives and moderates (who are effectively nothing but conservatives themselves).</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>As many before me have pointed out, racism is a vast evil that is plaguing America. It is an oppressive force that marginalized, exploits, crippled, and kills individuals and communities of color every day.</p>
<p>And you have to take a side. You can either be anti-racist or you can be racist (either directly our through complicity). Neutrality is a lie.</p>
<p>As the great historian Howard Zinn said, “You can’t be neutral on a moving train.” He was right. We’re on a train and there are people and systems driving it somewhere bad. You can shovel more coal in the firebox. You can jump off. You can try to stop it. Or you can just sit in your chair and wait for the train to arrive where it’s going – you can be neutral.</p>
<p>Except you can’t be neutral. The train is moving whether you like it or not, and you’re on it with the rest of us. You’re either resistant or complicit, but never neutral.</p>
<p>Stop settling for the lie if neutrality. Stop settling for merely not “being racist”. commit to anti-racism today. And commit to it every day from here on forward.</p>

Social evolution is a good thing and refusing to memorialize the bad actors of history is not the same as erasing history. If you can’t remember historical figures and events without memorials and statues, then you need to work on your memorization skills. Or maybe you’re just severely lacking in that area.</p>
<p>(Besides, we all know the real Confederate flag is nothing but white anyways.)</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The past three months have been an absolute whirlwind… </p>
<p>COVID-19<br />
Nationwide lockdowns<br />
Meat Shortages<br />
Skyrocketing Unemployment<br />
George Floyd’s Murder<br />
Black Lives Matter Protests Nationwide</p>
<p>But now it’s time to put things in perspective.  Now it’s time to not only map out how these all connected, but how they are all caused by the actions (or inaction) at the behest of the state.  </p>
<p>To help outline this case, Matt Kibbe from Free the People and Kibbe on Liberty (BlazeTV) returns to the show to help outline how the state has been the root cause of nearly all the problems our country has had to grapple with over the past three months.  </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Prison Industrial Complex (PIC) is a complex system that uses police, the courts, and prisons to violently enforce the will of the political and economic elite. The PIC has a mutualistic relationship with racism and classism – the PIC depends on those evils to exist and expand, and the bigots and elites in society (and their enablers) use the PIC as a tool to advance their vile agenda.</p>
<p>The PIC operates under the guise of “public safety” – I don’t agree that we need the PIC to keep us safe. In fact, I contend that we would be much safer without the PIC, and that we should work to build safe, healthy, and equitable communities that are not dependent on police, prisons, and punishment.</p>
<p>The PIC has not always existed, it’s not an inherent part of society that we can’t live without. In fact, the modern PIC as we know it has only existed for roughly 200 years, and even in 2020 there are places were communities rely on each other rather than police, courts, and prisons.</p>
<h3>Does PIC Abolition Endanger Public Safety?</h3>
<p>All of us who are sane and not sociopaths want safe and healthy communities. But how do we actually create safe communities? Can we forge safety by more-heavily policing our streets and imprisoning more and more of our neighbors? Or rather, is safety better fostered by dealing with the root causes of the acts called “crime”?</p>
<p>Something I earnestly believe is that no harm – not even the very worst kinds – happens without a reason. It seems obvious to me that simply locking up or executing a harmer does nothing to address that root reason, the problem that lead to the harming (such as drug addiction, generational poverty, violence, mental illness, etc.). In fact, it seems to me that taking these people out of their communities, away form their neighbors, friends, and families, and then isolating them in often violent and abusive environments (jails and prisons) would do very little but make these root problems worse.</p>
<p>I do not want to underappreciate the seriousness of the harm that day-to-day crime has on individuals and communities. But I also do not want to just worry about the symptoms and ignore the disease. I am convinced that in order to reduce overall harm, we all must work to change the underlying social, political, and economic conditions that fertilize these harms.</p>
<p>An easy example to look at to show this point is that of drug use in communities. When those addicted to drugs are provided with health care, effective treatment options, and harm reduction strategies/facilities, the overall potential for the harm that they might otherwise cause is significantly reduced, much more so than if the same people were simply arrested, railroaded through a trial, incarcerated for a few years and then sent back out into even worse circumstances than they were in beforehand. Now, I am morally skeptical of the idea of using public funding for just about anything. Nevertheless, it is undeniable that when public funds are directed towards police and prisons, funds are cut or deprived from social programs such as harm reduction facilities, women’s shelters, homeless shelters, food programs, etc., thus leaving the underlying ills of society unaddressed.</p>
<p>If we are going to use public funds to attempt to keep communities safe, shouldn’t we invest in strategies that will actually result in meaningful, long-term success? Multiple studies have proven that states and areas with more prisons and higher incarcerated populations absolutely do not have lower crime rates than other states and areas. When the PIC claims to be protecting you, it is nothing but a naked emperor. The PIC tells you that it is essential to safety and social order – in reality though, the PIC does the opposite: It is is one of America’s largest terrorist organizations. The PIC makes the lives of almost every non-elite (especially the poor and black and brown people) more endangered and more chaotic. The poor and black and brown are often targeted for how they look, where they live, and for their vulnerability. When people try to use the police to solve problems, they are often far more disruptive than the original problem could have ever been.</p>
<p>If we continue to remove members of a communities instead of restoring their relationship with said communities, if we continue terrorizing huge sections of the population with the PIC’s enforcers, if we continue to ignore the systemic violence at the root of all surface-level violence, then safe and orderly communities will be nothing more than a myth.</p>
<h3>Alternatives to the PIC</h3>
<p>I do not have the answers to what could replace the PIC. I have ideas, but no concrete answers. I’m not a policy wonk and I’m certainly not an architect of institutions and social systems. But I can tell when a system is rotten to the core and evil, and I know that such a system needs to be abolished. For me, the question of PIC abolition is primarily a moral one and only secondarily a practical one.</p>
<p>Thankfully, I don’t have to have all the answers. Millions of people from other parts of the world are already far less reliant on police and prisons than we are here in the U.S., and those societies also suffer from far less harm from crime. We can also see numerous examples of communities that have invested far more into housing, health care, food security, education, and employment than a PIC, and have seen continually lower crime rates.</p>
<p>Not only the best, but truly the only way to create a world of safe, strong, healthy, and orderly communities is to ensure that basic needs are met for all and that those most in need of community are not isolated from it. That world is the alternative to our current PIC system.</p>
<h3>The Abolitionist Legacy</h3>
<p>It has taken over 200 years for the PIC to build itself into the monolith that it is today, so obviously we cannot expect to dismantle such a complex system that has ingrained itself into our social fabric easily or quickly. But it can be done.</p>
<p>I use the term “abolitionist” when referring to my stance on the PIC intentionally. I mean to directly refer to those brave abolitionists who boldly called and worked for the end of slavery. These abolitionists did not believe that slavery could simply be reformed or made more humane and prudent. Hell no. They knew that it needed to be abolished. As a PIC abolitionist, I too reject the notion that this vile cancer can be satisfactorily reformed to be more just or even effective. The goal should not be to make the PIC better, the goal is to hammer the system into non-existence (though reformist damage control tactics can certainly be valuable in the meantime).</p>
<p>The first slavery abolitionists began working decades, some would say centuries, before they finally won. Likewise, the struggle for PIC abolition will be long, difficult, and full of setbacks. But believing that the PIC can be abolished is the first step.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">Compared to the previous decades’ snail-paced policing and criminal justice reforms, the past two weeks have see absolutely sweeping changes. These changes weren’t won through votes – they were won through open, disruptive, and occasionally destructive rebellion in the streets across America.</p>
<p>Whatever your opinion of the protests and riots that have sprung up across the country in the weeks since George Floyd’s murder, you cannot deny their effectiveness, at least in the short term. These successes offer a devastating critique to power of the political right, for which I am exceedingly glad. They also have razed many of the criticisms from the left about the effectiveness of rebellion and potential of chaos. The left’s arguments in favor of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/12/our-road-to-power" target="_blank">gradualism</a>, in favor of the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://socialistcall.com/2019/05/21/democratic-socialism-revolution-chris-maisano/" target="_blank">path of least resistance</a>, and of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/07/socialism-revolution-electoral-politics-mass-action" target="_blank">working within in the system</a> are not thoroughly refuted by any means, but those who make those less-radical cases are forced to at the very least reassess many of their preconceptions.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Many of these victories are small. Many are symbolic. Some are large and undeniably meaningful. All leave room for improvement, and none of them were without cost: in the past two weeks, over 10,000 protesters/rioters have been arrested; countless more have been assaulted and brutalized by cops; and of course, the lives of the black and brown martyrs that sparked this fight can never be regained by any amount of positive change.</p>
<p>The following is a list of rebellion’s victories so far. Of course, it is an incomplete list – many victories will never be known outside of the neighborhoods they occurred in – but it is an impressive list all the same.</p>

<p class="has-drop-cap">Of course, the full ramifications and effects of these changes have yet to be seen. There is certainly a moral case to be made (one that I tend to agree with) that changes forced through coercion and violence can only take us so far, and often have unintended consequences. There is also the unavoidable fact that many of these changes did not come from a sincere sense of justice among those with power, but rather from their desperation to placate the rising masses.</p>
<p>The rebels who have grasped these achievements are fueled from a fire from below, and they are just getting started. Those with power would be wise to take them and their concerns seriously.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article is a rebuttal to another article, <em>In Defense of the Term “White Privilege”</em> by our Editor Ryan Lindsey, which can be viewed here: <a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/2020/06/08/in-defense-of-the-term-white-privilege/">https://hereticjournal.home.blog/2020/06/08/in-defense-of-the-term-white-privilege/</a></p>
<p>Unless you’re an unfeeling bowl of oatmeal living under a rock, you probably feel somewhat strongly one way or the other about this issue already. For the sake of creating a new perspective, allow me to make a comparison that is far less upsetting.</p>
<p>Think of a phenomenon like the water going higher up on the beach at night. You could say the tides are rising. Or you could say the land is sinking. While both attempt to identify a true event, only one of these statements is true; the tides are rising, the land is not sinking.</p>
<p>As a casual observer, the error might not matter as one strolled by on the shore. But let’s say you were building a harbor. If you believed the land was sinking, you might create your docks so that they rose when the land sank. Of course, you would realize your mistake when your docks would submerge, elevate, and break. If your docks were built to compensate rising water, your calculations would be affirmed and the ships there would anchor properly.</p>
<p>This is where the term “White Privilege” goes astray. It is inaccurate verbiage. By definition, privilege is “a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group.” The allegation when using the word is that white people have rights they should not have.  It is specifically stating that minorities don’t need more rights, advantages, or immunities, but that white people need less.</p>
<p>It is vital to note that the term is attempting to describe a reality in America. White people are treated as humans much of the time. Racial minorities are treated as sub-humans and tokens much of the time. White privilege is a good attempt to say what’s wrong, but it’s time to update the language to convey what is actually occurring. At one time, thinking the sun revolved around the earth was good enough for simple farm work, but as we extend our grasp into the cosmos, it becomes necessary to let go of old views and exchange them for better ones. If we care to grasp the facts of the universe so that we can navigate nature more accurately, we must trade out the old observations for the new ones. We appropriately forgive a child’s mispronunciations for a while, but at a certain age, there comes a time to issue corrections. America is well past that deadline.</p>
<p>Much like our doomed harbor, “White Privilege” has had some very practical failures due to bad analysis. If the intent was to fill a critical vacuum with crusaders seeking to give minorities the same rights as white people, it has failed miserably. The term has become weaponized by corporate media and elitist censors to silence dissenting opinions from white people. The focus has become how they should have to deal with these same atrocities that the marginalized members of society deal with daily before being permitted to speak. In more radical circles, it is a phrase used to ask how they should be forced to pay some kind of compulsory penalty for the crimes of their ancestors and the color of their skin.</p>
<p>Indeed, it becomes “reverse racism.” Or, other other words, just racism. And it flies in the face of history. Various kinds of restitution have been paid in this country and it has not even moderately alleviated our situation. No amount of monetary or hedonist benefit can replace a destroyed culture, a pillaged history, and a decimated community. We must move the crosshairs off of rights that white people have and onto the rights that others do not have. The goal isn’t to live in a country where white joggers and black joggers are gunned down equally. It is to have no joggers gunned down. And this is a terrain “White Privilege” cannot traverse. It is ill-equipped because it is ill-conceived.</p>
<p>Sometimes actual racists are angered by the phrase. I have absolutely no sympathy for them. But it also angers potential allies. Creating discomfort for people who agree with you or who are open to your message is a bad method of advancing the goal of equality. Using an inaccurate term that brings white people down is not just bad literary technique, it’s a terrible tactic. You lose people that want to see minorities prosper on equal footing.</p>
<p>Yes, some people are needlessly worried that the greater movement is trying to gain ground by tearing down the existence of white people and shaming them. This is something I personally witnessed in debates and on college campuses. Those rogue voices silencing me for my skin color did not feel like a simple minority assault at the time. It wasn’t until I got much older when I realized the loudest voices weren’t representative of all of the voices. But I was an enemy of equality for much longer than I should have because the elitist “White Privilege” goons marked me as an enemy ripe for deserving guilt.</p>
<p>It’s easy to make fun of my discomfort; it’s nowhere close to the oppression a minority person experiences in either magnitude or frequency. But isn’t the point to end oppression and not to shift it? I was an awfully open-minded person searching for answers to this problem and “White Privilege” scared me off. If it scared away someone like me, how many other alliances does it also sever?</p>
<p>Those who use the words “White Privilege” have every right to do so. A person who has been attacked can employ any means necessary for self-defense. I refuse to blame the victims for choosing a few arbitrary words incorrectly. We should be able to see past this mistake and recognize the need to aid in the defense; fixing the problem instead of overreacting to an innocent blunder in language (a blunder that fixing the problem will render negligible). We should bring all people up to a point where we all have maximum rights. But if we want to be successful in this self-defense, it’s time to cast the concept of “White Privilege” aside so we can begin to repair the bridges that it burned down.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">If you ever want to shock a room full of white libertarians or conservatives into a frenzy, just use the term “white privilege” unironically. For those who have based their entire identities and ideologies in a radical (to the point of irrational) individualism, the very notion that not everything that’s gone well in life is due to their merit or work is repugnant, and that reasonable notion is at the core of what white privilege is.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Let me clarify what white privilege is not.</p>
<ul>
<li>White privilege is not the belief that all white people have easy lives.</li>
<li>White privilege is not the belief that all non-white people have hard lives.</li>
<li>White privilege is not the belief that white people need to give up their privilege.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, what does believing in white privilege mean?</p>
<ul>
<li>It means believing that <em>in general</em>, white people have less social/economic/political/criminal limitations placed on them than non-white people.</li>
<li>It means believing that <em>in general</em>, non-white people have more social/economic/political/criminal limitations placed on them than white people.</li>
<li>It means that those with privilege should acknowledge that fact, and acknowledge the implications of their privilege and the implications of what not having said privileges could be.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you still don’t understand, or don’t agree that this idea has any basis in reality, I beg you: take four minutes to watch this excellent illustrative video.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="720" height="405" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4K5fbQ1-zps?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div>
</figure>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Now, unfortunately the term white privilege is controversial to many. For one thing, it instantly brings up the topic of race, which is pure anathema to many on the right. For another, as I previously pointed out, it forces a denial of the irrational form of radical individualism that many people cling to.</p>
<p>The fact that the term is so abrasive to many with a more conservative bent makes many others believe that it should not be used. The claim has been made that a term that is so incendiary will do nothing but make people uncomfortable and turn them away from your message.</p>
<p>My response to this: <em>so wha</em>t?</p>
<p>Centering conversations about race and racial issues around white comfort is just another piece in a long history of drowning out black and brown voices with white ones, and of valuing white comfort over black and brown experiences and feelings. In fact, I would gladly contend that any conversation about race that does not make conservatives and reactionaries uncomfortable is pointless, watered-down, and essentially complicit with the long history of racial and social injustice.</p>
<p>Another argument made against using the term white privilege is that it is rarely used to describe things that are technically even privileges. For example, an example of white privilege is the fact that white drivers are less likely to be stopped by cops than black drivers. The argument could (and has been) made that this is not actually a privilege per se, but rather a right to travel unmolested. And technically, that argument is right. But it also makes the terrible mistake of centering the conversation around white experience.</p>
<p>If you are a white person who opposes the term “white privilege” for this reason, imagine yourself as a person of color who lived up without the advantages associated with white privilege. Imagine that you harassed by cops on a regular basis, Imagine that you were followed around by employees in every retail store you went into. Imagine that you had to get a job at 14 to help your parents pay bills. Imagine that you were less likely to get a loan, to be given a job interview, etc. From that perspective, the advantages associated with white privilege surely would appear as actual privileges, right? For many black and brown people, those advantages are not the default like they are for most white people. If you can empathize with them and look at society from <em>their </em>baseline, then I imagine you’ll find white privilege to be a far more accurate term.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">If you essentially believe in the concept that term “white privilege” is conveying, but disagree with the term itself, I have one question for you: who are you centering your conversation around? Should conversations about race and racial issues be had with white comfort held in the highest regard? I should hope not.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, actor John Boyega gave an impassioned and important speech to a group protesting the killing of George Floyd, police brutality, and the enormity of systemic racism against black and brown people in America (and other Western countries).</p>
<p>Like the character Finn who he played in the three latest episodic Star Wars movies, Boyega is not afraid to stand up for his beliefs. Like Finn, Boyega is willing to speak truth to power. In a world where the president is actively quoting segregationist sheriffs on Twitter, public figures boldly and unapologetically stomping down hateful ideologies is crucial for those who are still learning about the world and developing their moral codes.</p>
<p>I say, three cheers for John Boyega, a true fighter for The Resistance.</p>
<p><strong>The following is the text of this speech, from June 3, 2020:</strong></p>
<div class="wp-block-group">
<div class="wp-block-group__inner-container">
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
</div>
</div>
<p><em>I want to thank every single one of you for coming out. This is very important, this is very vital</em></p>
<p><em>Black lives have always mattered, we have always been important, we have always meant something, we have always succeeded regardless, and now is the time – I ain’t waiting, I ain’t waiting. I have been born in this country, I am 28 years old, born and raised in London and for time every black person understands and realizes the first time you were reminded that you were black. Every black person in here remember when another person reminded you that you were black.</em></p>
<p><em>So none of you out there, all those other protesters on the other side protesting against what want to do, protesting against what we want to try and achieve, damn you, because this is so vital.</em></p>
<p><em>I need you guys to understand. I need you guys to understand. I need you to understand how painful this shit is.</em></p>
<p><em>And that isn’t the case anymore. There is never a case anymore. We are going to try it today.</em></p>
<p><em>We are a physical representation of our support for George Floyd. We are a physical representation in our support for Sandra Bland. We are a physical representation on our support for Trayvon Martin. We are a physical representation of our support for Stephen Lawrence, for Mark Duggan.</em></p>
<p><em>Today is about innocent people who were halfway through their process. We don’t know what George Floyd could have achieved, we don’t know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today we’re going to make sure that won’t be an alien thought to our young ones.</em></p>
<p><em>It is very, very important that we keep control to this moment and we make this as peaceful as possible. We make this as peaceful and as organised as possible. Because you know what guys, they want us to mess up.</em></p>
<p><em>They want us to be disorganized, but not today. Not today. Not today. This message is specifically for black men. Black men.</em></p>
<p><em>Black men, black men, we need to take care of our black women. We need to care of them. They are us. They are us. They are our future. We cannot demonize our own. We are the pillars of the family. Imagine this, a nation that is set up with individual families that are thriving, that are healthy, that communicate, that raise their children in love. Have a better rate of becoming better human beings. And that’s what we need to create. Black men, it starts with you.</em></p>
<p><em>We can’t be trusted no more. We have to be better. You don’t understand. I’m speaking to you from my heart.</em></p>
<p><em>Today is about innocent people who were halfway through that process. We don’t know what George Floyd could have achieved. We don’t know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today we’re going to make sure that that won’t be an alien thought to our young ones.</em></p>
<p><em>I’m sure you all came today, you left your kids, and when you see your kids, they’re aimlessly playing. They don’t understand what’s going on. Today’s the day that we remind them that we are dedicated, and this is a lifelong dedication.</em></p>
<p><em>Guys, we don’t leave here and stop. We don’t leave here and stop. This is longevity. Some of you are artists. Some of you are artists, some of you are bankers, some of you are lawyers, some of you own shop stores. You are important, your individual power, your individual right is very, very important. We can all join together to make this a better world.</em></p>
<p><em>We can all do it together to make this special. We can all join together.</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">On Tuesday, June 2, the hashtag #BlackOutTuesday flooded <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/blackouttuesday/?hl=en" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/blackouttuesday" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlackOutTuesday?src=hashtag_click" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. Millions of users on these social media platforms changed their profile pictures to simple black squares. In fact, when I logged on to Instagram in the morning, I had to scroll for over a minute before anything but a wall of black appeared in my feed (other than a few ads and promoted posts).</p>
<p>Now, it’s easy to mock those of us who participated in this. After all, how much good can a hashtag and black square posted on your profile really do? I used to feel that way myself, until this past weekend when I attended a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.facebook.com/RobertRobinsonPhoto/posts/2708827756012894" target="_blank">local Black Lives Matter protest/march</a>. Before the protesters took to the street itself, most of the several hundreds of us in attendance stood on the sides of one of our city’s busiest roads holding pro-BLM, anti-police brutality signs and raising fists. We drew a lot of reactions of passing drivers – most of them, thankfully, were positive.</p>
<p>The reaction that stays with me the most though was that of a young black boy, probably no more than 10 years old, sitting in the back of his parents car. As they drove by us all, he stared out at the signs, trying to take them all in. He raised his fist in the symbol of power back at us and was smiling as big as I can remember anyone ever smiling in my life. For at least those moments, <em>he </em>knew not only that his life mattered, but that a huge part of <em>his community</em> also knew this, and it obviously meant the world to him and his parents.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">That’s the power of solidarity – waving our signs, in some ways we weren’t really doing anything: we weren’t passing criminal justice reform laws, we weren’t getting bad cops fired, we weren’t actively tearing down the structures of systemic racism, etc. But we were simply saying “I see you, I hear you, I’m trying to stand with you”. To those who must often feel like society and its structures are saying the opposite, that does matter. And if something as simple as holding signs of solidarity on the side of the side of the road reminds the downtrodden and oppressed that they are not alone, then I have I hard time believing that blacking out social media couldn’t have done the same thing.</p>
<p>Now of course, simply showing solidarity is not enough. It matters and it helps, but it’s never enough. True solidarity will be lived and acted out, not just shown. Showing solidarity is just the start of meaningful activism, it should never be the end.</p>
<p>If you (like many others) first showed solidarity with the BLM movement on #BlackOutTuesday by posting a black square, good job! Despite what some naysayers might say, it’s never to late to start. But you can’t stop now: keep speaking out. As Ginetta Sagan said, “Silence in the face of injustice is complicity with the oppressor.” Never go back to being complicit with oppression. Keep standing up. Go to your local protests. Demand structural changes and tear-downs. Donate to bail relief funds. Listen to your black and brown friends and community members. Learn when it is appropriate to shut up and when it is appropriate to speak up, and do so.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Christian Watson is a political writer based out of Georgia and a Young Voices Advocate. He can be found on Twitter at @<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://twitter.com/OfficialCWATSON" target="_blank">OfficialCWatson</a>.</em> He also hosts a podcast titled, “<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pensive-politics/id1499924822" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pensive Politics</a>.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While Americans struggle with the economic and social fallout of COVID-19 and slowly transition back to normalcy, former Vice President Joe Biden is safely in his Delaware basement, lecturing black Americans like me about their political preferences.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During an interview with the popular urban radio show “The Breakfast Club,” he aggressively <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/36455fa8758f70163f0fd07c3864916458df723b?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DAXYRcpyWNeA&userId=4496244&signature=cbdf1ff8ec5354ee" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">quipped</a> to host Charlamagne Tha God that if African Americans have trouble deciding between him and Trump, they “ain’t black.” Oh, please. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Shortly after political anger descended upon the presidential candidate, he quickly <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/df76845136e4f0c07bc7f436ffef587b443aa073?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bet.com%2Fnews%2Fnational%2F2020%2F05%2F22%2Fjoe-biden-black-voters-apologizes.html&userId=4496244&signature=914508b44d493acc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">apologized</a> for being too much of a “wise guy.” Jonathan Capehart, in an opinion piece for the Washington Post, whole-heartedly <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/3aa7b1e32d0f00909a93a609b17292574be0dcf9?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fopinions%2F2020%2F05%2F22%2Fcome-bidens-you-aint-black-comment-was-clearly-joke%2F&userId=4496244&signature=7dafc63029b23a94" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">agreed</a>, using the common refrain used to cover for irresponsible behavior: It was just a joke. But there’s nothing funny about Biden’s record on race-related issues, which include disparaging remarks toward African-Americans and other minorities, the general use of race as a political toy, and legislation that has devastated minorities. Understanding Biden’s past is of utmost importance. Biden’s “cavalier” remarks, as he labels them, must be taken in light of his record.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For instance, during a rally in Danville, North Carolina in 2012, Biden <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/0d7ca6bbc2327a3bdeb4737efacced73e3eae577?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com%2Fnews%2Fbiden-tells-african-american-audience-gop-ticket-would-put-them-back-in-chains%2F&userId=4496244&signature=c9d873f4b32ea945" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">told</a> an African American audience that Republicans would put them “back in chains” with their financial policies. Demonizing your political opponents by likening them to slave-era political actors, especially as a public official as well-known as Biden, is simply unethical. Furthermore, in a speech in Iowa, he <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/ea6b6cd6cc0ff6361e13f80d7b08699ad7aa17d7?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DidpevmeoK1A&userId=4496244&signature=24422565c883c220" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> that “poor kids were just as bright as white kids.” Yikes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Biden’s list of gaffes goes on and on and on and on (but unlike Queen of Neo Soul Erykah Badu, his cypher is staying put and gathering moss). Now, I don’t mean to suggest Biden is a racist. These gaffes could have been just that — a poor choice of words unique to his common-man political approach. The only person who knows the contents of Biden’s heart is Biden himself. But words <em>do </em>matter. At best, Biden’s gaffes simply reflect an unhealthy attitude toward race, indicative of his era. At worst, they provide voters a window through which to view his past policy decisions that have devastated African Americans.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, Biden has been <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/d8c6519d2bac508a52462cb3ab95e4896cf124b4?url=https%3A%2F%2Fabcnews.go.com%2FPolitics%2Fbidens-key-role-1994-crime-bill-attacked-trump%2Fstory%3Fid%3D63325008&userId=4496244&signature=3988f1228d7bf9fe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">chided</a> by many for both crafting and <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/efcf62cfbd63aae8a9972ddd21de21e71fb6c782?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2019%2F06%2F25%2Fus%2Fjoe-biden-crime-laws.html&userId=4496244&signature=79c5731f30a74f53" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">supporting</a> the crime bill known as the Violent Crime Control And Law Enforcement Act. The bill, which became law in 1994, reflected a strict law-and-order mentality toward criminals. Biden championed the “Three Strikes” provision of the bill, which <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/d93dc481e4d39af5b0b683b220181280bfeca633?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcriminal.findlaw.com%2Fcriminal-procedure%2Fthree-strikes-sentencing-laws.html&userId=4496244&signature=899c889233a7c77b" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sentenced</a> individuals to life upon a third offense, <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/5645d3b683d27164dbe6dd79378e7badb67a0e1e?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Fworld-us-canada-33545971&userId=4496244&signature=dee2c5cc76f1aefe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">provided</a> it’s a “serious violent crime.” </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This bill <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/dbfc17b948d9613767850a375cf73c5b195db36c?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aclu.org%2Fblog%2Fsmart-justice%2Fmass-incarceration%2Fhow-1994-crime-bill-fed-mass-incarceration-crisis&userId=4496244&signature=248fe9f191683c05" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">created</a> a legal environment that allowed mass incarceration to flourish. And black American’s were hurt the most. But to then-Senator Joe Biden in <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/62c7b9745dfc20b4f3836925b58ff651815674ae?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2019%2F03%2F07%2Fpolitics%2Fbiden-1993-speech-predators%2Findex.html&userId=4496244&signature=2ed413b6e4c68ead" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1993</a>, this was simply the best way to deal with “predators on our streets” who were, in his words, “beyond the pale.” </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During that same 1993 speech, Biden claimed that the root cause of criminal’s actions simply didn’t matter. “It doesn’t matter whether or not the person that is accosting your son or daughter…whether or not they were deprived as a youth,” he said. He continued, “I don’t want to ask ‘what made them do this.’ They must be taken off the street.” </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If extenuating circumstances aren’t considered, how do you fix an issue? You don’t. And that’s why Joe Biden’s policies hurt black Americans so gruesomely. Biden’s words shockingly dehumanized people who had run-ins with the law, and paved the way for the retributive attitude toward criminals that plagues the justice system to this day.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And Biden hasn’t changed much in recent years. He’s <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/61bfab254e2f0f8d2b557fa20a50978fa39cf212?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fstory%2Fnews%2Fpolitics%2Felections%2F2019%2F11%2F18%2Fjoe-biden-says-marijuana-may-gateway-drug-opposes-legalization%2F4226908002%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR3JxPfjwkMF6qhSM3yjHpCPHWen6g-oGlhfcI7Dpj-VunJ5wRge1yBFFfg&userId=4496244&signature=77410f83db9214e2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">against</a> marijuana legalization because he claims it’s a “gateway drug,” despite <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/c04972b787bf73b37d017632a51b491263dee8f2?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthline.com%2Fhealth%2Fis-marijuana-a-gateway-drug&userId=4496244&signature=3e2a4ef823135b94" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">clear evidence</a> to the contrary.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You were right to call bullshit on the media when they spent months trying to imply that every Donald Trump rally was a hornet’s nest of violence. They weren’t.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This propaganda by leftist reporters didn’t match the experience of the thousands of rally attendees across the country, including mine. It diminished further their limited credibility. That is a big roadblock in the moment we are now having. By exaggerating the little things so often, the big things aren’t a big deal to Americans.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now we are faced when a moment where Trump is truly raising the temperature towards violence in an effort to look like the tough guy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Violence galvanizes the opposition and decreases the likelihood of ending rioting. As looters and rioters destroy property, your anger grows. As police commit brutal acts to quell the violence, their anger grows. Those on the fence leave it and join a side. As the sides clash, resentment grows. It’s a cycle we’ve been experiencing since the 1970’s and I truly think it’s brought us to the brink of Civil War within our lifetimes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So Trump is gambling that his rhetoric will stay that way and no Governor actually asks him to send in troops. He gets to pretend he’s willing to restore law and order without the outrage of actual bloodshed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He wrongly assumes looting was down last night due to his threats. The National Guard was finally activated and in place in most of these cities. The Guard cannot be mobilized instantaneously.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Riots burn themselves out within days for a few reasons. First, the additional bodies on the streets. Second is community involvement. Third is the fear of consequences as local agencies get better at catching the bad guys.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So Donald Trump had no effect in decreasing violence last night but he will take advantage of your ignorance for personal gain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He does it in other ways.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you’re a small business owner, his over the top rhetoric puts your business more at risk by increasing the participation of the other side. He’s not protecting you. He’s using you as a pawn to win an election.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He says he loves the second amendment. The purpose of the second amendment is to ward off tyranny and to protect life and property. He is not encouraging community-based solutions to aid the police in their efforts. He’s proposing to expand the power of the centralized state to include No Quarter invasions on American cities. That means assuming guilt and killing on site. No judge or jury or due process. When the next conservative movement like the Tea Party emerges, do you want a Geworge Soros-backed Democratic President to have this power? Maybe he didn’t mean it… but why would he say it if he felt it was inappropriate?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He’s standing outside of a church that was used by past Presidents for worship holding a Bible upside down. This location and object are meaningless to the man. He’s cynically exploiting them for campaign ads.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He’s the head of the CDC that issued the guidelines that closed down your churches. He has pretended it was terrible, but I got a postcard from him taking credit for the shutdowns in March. Once his base shifted, so did he.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To my fellow Christians: we are called to be peaceful witnesses in the world of brokenness and violence. We are to live apart from this world by loving the Word to such a depth that it changes our hearts. They’ll know us by our acts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To retreat into our entrenched identities of race, color, socioeconomic group, or career means loving the world more than loving our values. Embracing the man has brought the credibility of most major Evangelical figures to ruin. In a Postmodern society, credibility and trust are the key to changing hearts and minds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Why do Republicans support him?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because Donald Trump feels right. Political language is incredibly powerful and he’s a master at it. He reinforces only a few ideas repeatedly and in short phrases. He uses humor to punish the people you hate to get you to love him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Growing up as a baby Republican, I heard more times than I can count that “blacks should abandon the Democratic Party. They don’t have their best interest at heart, but the victimhood keeps them paralyzed by fear.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Trump has now created a white, “conservative,” identity group. He galvanized this movement by hating the right people. You want to see them suffer because you feel victimized by their dismissive attitude and smugness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The press. Democrats. Higher education. ANTIFA.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">His all out assault on liberal culture feels so good after being put down for so many years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To support his right-leaning culture of victimhood, he’s even created his own universe of “race pimps.” Sean Hannity is your Al Sharpton. Sebastian Gorka is your version of Jesse Jackson. OAN is a hive of opportunists willing to sell you their book full of half truths in an effort to launch into full time grifting.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now connect that to economic insecurity felt these past three months. Connect that to the mocking of protestors and being dismissed by 80% of the country last month. That really sucked.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s how black men and women have felt every day of their life. They’re not you’re enemy. They’re asking you to partner with them in changing it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Black voters stay with Democrats as a form of self-protection. Their alternative is a party that refuses to even HEAR about systemic issues. Instead we have found every opportunity to escape the conversation by lumping everyone into one group.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Black Lives Matter are seperate from a violent anarchist that’s watched The Joker one too many times and wants to hit people with bike chains. They’re different that the organized out of state looters that rob stores to make a killing on Facebook Marketplace.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The President doesn’t want you to see a difference. If you don’t then you’re easier to control.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The President wants to bamboozle you into believing he cares about you by pretending he’s one of us, and you’re letting him get away with it and looking like fools in the process.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many of you are saying, “but all Presidents do this.” You’re right. The magic wand of whataboutism is not an out. You can’t change what a Democratic President does but you have the power to change your party. Your fellow Republicans are your responsibility.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many of you may not understand the constant hate of Trump. It exists because most of your fellow Americans can’t believe that so many of you are living and voting so counter to what you say you believe. It is like watching your friend date a person that you know is wrong for them, and maybe even dangerous, and you don’t know how to help them see it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just as with Barack Obama, the cult of the Presidency is growing at an alarming rate. The members of the now-dead Tea Party are making that possible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What’s the solution? Stop supporting the growth of government in any way. Don’t support any policy that grows the greater threat to liberty in an effort to diminish the power of lesser threats.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you go looking for fodder on AntiFa, you will not have to search hard. The list is extensive: The bike lock guy, Portland, Twitter accounts, etc. These acts and calls for violence are indefensible. They are not anti-fascist, they are anti-human. Sometimes, violence is justified. Sometimes, it is not. And AntiFa is no stranger to that second camp.</p>
<p>I will not gloss over how truly wicked and misguided some of their members are. In America, they often injure, ridicule, and beat Trump supporters for his fascism and yet either stay silent or even voice support for Democratic fascism, especially in the area of thee economy. In the UK, AntiFa had a mass protest against Brexit because, according to a spokesperson, they wanted centralized economy and currency, which are principle components of fascism. At times, they actually stand for, instead of against, fascism.</p>
<p>So why in the world would I ask for solidarity with AntiFa?</p>
<p>You will note that my first two paragraphs are pretty vague generalities. That’s because AntiFa is not actually an organization. You can shoot your mom, say you’re AntiFa and acted because your mom is a fascist for giving you a bedtime, and boom, AntiFa did it. Without an official structure, nobody can speak for all of AntiFa to either support or condemn these activities.</p>
<p>But this is precisely the reason why we should unite with them. Grassroots movements with good causes need the correction to come from the inside. If you hate their missteps, then fix them. And you can do so by acting against fascism appropriately and accurately. When you condemn the bad actors from the outside, you’re just a detractor. When you do it from the inside, your voice will be heard and potentially heeded. Good examples are superior to change than outside critics.</p>
<p>Being anti-fascist is something to be encouraged. As a parallel to this topic, there are a lot of people who are not racists. But they allow racism to continue with their silence. We want more people that are anti-racist. Fascism has gripped the entire globe and letting it go unhindered is failing to live up to your responsibility as member of the human race. We should all condemn fascism, loudly, proudly, then speak up and act up when we see fascist policies make their way into our law books.</p>
<p>Fascism is awful in every way. It is economically and socially antagonistic towards freedom, self-ownership, and individualism. If you are reading this and you are not a complete caricature of a Disney villain, you are anti fascist. Think of what you would do to stop Nazis from taking over the country (the libertarian in me wants to say they already have, but I digress). Would you take actions to stop it? Voting, protesting, physical confrontation, etc? If so, you are AntiFa already.</p>
<p>And that’s why declaring them a terrorist organization is so problematic and authoritarian. You can make ANYONE who speaks ill of fascism and label them AntiFa since there is no official standard. There’s no central website to sign up or single place where you pay for a membership. You don’t have to carry a card or associate with specific criminals to be labelled as AntiFa. It is up to the government to decide if you are AntiFa or not. And, as I said already, you probably are. President Trump unilaterally branding them terrorists gives him executive power to ruin their rights across the board. And it’s only a matter of time before their loss of rights are yours as well.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was May 9th, 1970.  Less than a week earlier, four students were shot and killed by National Guard troops on the campus of Kent State.  In five more days there would be another shooting on the campus of Jackson State, two students killed by National Guard troops.  Protests against the war were in full swing on campuses all over the country.  Many of them included acts of violence that were hard to watch.</p>
<p>President Nixon was distraught at the protests and especially the killings that took place, as several close to the president observed.  As H.R. Haldeman wrote in his diary, “I am concerned about his condition … he has had very little sleep for a long time and his judgement, temper and mood suffer badly as a result.”  Nixon was having a very human reaction to the civil unrest and death that had occurred under his watch, it was haunting him.</p>
<p>So, on that morning of May 9th, he made a strange decision and walked to the Lincoln Monument where protesters were gathered and speaking out against the war to start up a conversation with them.  Nixon remembered the conversation, which lasted about an hour, to be a civil one in which the protesters were “overawed” to be speaking to him.  Protesters and Nixon’s staff remember it differently, mostly ramblings without sentence structure and trying to make small talk by Nixon.  At one point he said “I know probably most of you think I’m an SOB.  But I want you to know that I understand just how you feel.”</p>
<p>He did listen to their complaints and concerns.  He talked about traveling to Prague, Warsaw and Asia, but it was hard for those listening to really grasp what he was trying to say.  Overall I think he just wanted to re-engage in human interaction, to feel part of the larger society with which he had been largely removed in his role as President.  To try and convince someone, even if it was himself, that he wasn’t a bad guy.</p>
<p>Fast forward to June 1, 2020.  President Trump has been watching the protesting play out in the streets of cities of the country over the death of George Floyd.</p>
<p>Only it wasn’t just about Floyd, but a long history of similar instances that have happened over the years.  This was just the next evolution of the societal reaction to those events.  Trump to this point had tweeted out some comments that were mostly not well received, some containing language from former white supremacists, but had largely not been a public factor on the issue.  He affirmed his displeasure with the death of Floyd but focused more on the reaction that led some to violent response due to their frustration.  Then it became apparent that opportunists were engaging in looting as communities fought to keep the violence down through self policing by protesters, civilians standing guard over businesses and homes, and police departments were scrambling to stop the violent actors while also overreacting in places to peaceful protests as well.  Curfews then started to be invoked.  Finally, on May 31, 2020, during one such protest in Washington DC near the White House, the president was moved to a bunker for approximately 30 minutes while DC police worked to push the protesters back.</p>
<p>The image of a weak president unwilling to do anything to stop the violence was forming.  This was something that Trump couldn’t let continue, he had an election to win in the fall.  Unlike Nixon he didn’t appear deeply personally affected by the events playing out in front of him.  So he decided to take action to assure to the people that he was a strong leader and he would solve the problem himself if needed.</p>
<p>In a 7 minute speech, the President called once again to support investigating the death of George Floyd and respected peaceful protesters while calling out the violent actions the result of antifa, labelling them as terrorists.  He even threatened to call out the military to operate on domestic soil to stop the violent actions if the states didn’t ‘get tough’, something unthought of as a possible suggestion by a president in quite a long time.</p>
<p>However, while he was extolling the respect he had for peaceful protest, the DC Police were violently breaking up a lawful peaceful protest that was taking place just outside of the White House.  Tear gas was deployed.  Batons and shields were swung at protesters and media in an effort to quickly clear the area.  The reason why became clear soon, the President wanted to finish his speech and then walk to a church that had become a symbol to his supporters of the violence that was taking place for a photo op.</p>
<p>The church had briefly caught fire and was quickly put out but it was a rallying point that he felt he could use for bolstering his image. He wanted the people to see him being a strong leader and a man of god and law and order.  Unlike Nixon he wasn’t interested in trying to re-engage with the people, with society itself.  He wasn’t trying to hear the complaints of the people who were protesting.  He wanted a boost in his approval ratings.</p>
<p>Unfortunately for President Trump, all of this was caught on video and broadcast to the world, the violent pushing back of a peaceful protest for a photo op.  The emperor’s clothes were laid bare.  This was no Nixonian moment of self reflection and inner turmoil, this was a cynical attempt to display strength for political, and possibly narcissistic, reasons.  It highlighted to anyone who was on the fence that he was willing to do.  What kind of mindset he was operating within.</p>
<p>When your actions make Nixon seem compassionate and thoughtful that should make anyone who understands their place in history and what impact they have on society give pause to reconsider what they are doing.  At least, it would for most people.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The second part of our “Portrait of Spike Cohen” series with a completely different name because frankly, this title was too good not to pass up. Spike comes to us leaving the Libertarian Party National Convention victorious, having earned the nomination for Vice President. We discuss the immediate praise and backlash Spike experienced literally hours after clinching the nomination, and so much more as he aims for the general election. Oh, and Remso recorded this shirtless in solidarity with Spike’s #Nipplegate scandal, but luckily you don’t have to see that…</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the pandemic, I tried to drive home the point that government power is mainly illusionary, and politicians end up following the lead of public opinion. If they say shut down our businesses and we don’t, there isn’t much they can do about it. There is power in numbers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Protestors and rioters are proving that none of us ever had to stay inside. None of us had to close our businesses. We could have ignored their authority if we had chosen to do so. Conservatives have internalized “law and order” so profoundly that they’re terrified of government.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The hairdresser’s civil disobedience in Dallas transformed policy there because politicians realized the population was no longer controllable. Americans are beginning to lose the Stockholm Syndrome created by the two-party system, and they’re looking for a better way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am a libertarian because I believe in organizing society through nonviolent means. I want to live in a world where problems are solved through peaceful, voluntary interactions. I got here through utilitarian arguments: The current system based on violence can never work.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our worlds are made up of the 100 people we regularly interact with. Centralizing power means we are forced to expand our sphere of concern to billions of people we will never meet. It is driving us all to insanity because the human brain is not designed for it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first steps to staying sane are as follows:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list"><li>Choose to seek out alternative solutions to the ones we’ve chosen in the past.</li><li>Choose peaceful solutions to personal interactions.</li><li>Choose personal responsibility for yourself and take responsibility for your community.</li><li>Choose peaceful politics based on these values.</li><li>Stop participating in politics that don’t.</li><li>Spread the word.</li></ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So often I am asked, “What is the libertarian solution to this problem?” The solution is that you have to ask yourself how you’d handle this situation if you were faced with it. THAT is the libertarian solution as long as you’re not hurting people or taking their stuff.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Read the Declaration of Independence. You’ll see that Americans are falling short in fulfilling parts of its original promises and you’ll see this system now resembles that of King George. I’m no Loyalist.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The best argument for Trump’s Presidency is that it has ripped the mask off of how politics works. Everything one needs to know about the psychology of both the President and the system upheld by Republicans and Democrats can be found in his tweets this week.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I highly doubt most police or national guardsmen want to be on the front lines of riot duty. The President views them as a monolithic tool to force compliance. He is saying that there are no limits to what he will ask these men and women to do to another bloc he dislikes. Individualism is at the heart of libertarianism. It is impossible to support the two-party system in its current state.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The police have outsourced their morality to politicians, and they have a financial incentive to stay employed. They will reject their conscience and follow orders in many cases. Conversely, the rioters have lost sight of the humanity of the police. They don’t consider the grief they’re indiscriminately causing for business owners. Social media commentators choosing to ignore racial injustice by invoking tired tropes like “what about Chicago” deny the humanity of their neighbors.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Politics dehumanizes us and forces us into groups that politicians can control. We feel like we have to grab control of the government to prevent those other groups from using the state to oppress us. Voting becomes self-defense.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Without the police or soldiers, politicians are people with wrong opinions and no power. To stop this death spiral of violence, we have to walk away from tribalism. We have to stop demanding that politicians use the state to force other people to live against their will.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Protestors are asking for an end to violence against black men and women. They’re asking for their humanity and dignity to be fully recognized by both the system and society. They’re asking America to fully live up to the promises made in the Declaration of Independence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I wholly support the protestors and their message. I won’t allow myself to be pitted against natural allies because politicians and media want to exploit our differences.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Christians should always practice the golden rule. If I want my rights, dignity, and humanity to be recognized, then I must stand with anyone else, asking for the same. It is not enough to believe the right things either. I have to be vocal about my values because that is the right path to change. As Billy Graham said, “Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If conservatives are shocked that 80% of the country didn’t support their lockdown protests, it is because they have no credibility due to their silence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I entirely reject violence as a tool to achieve political or social goals. Nonviolence is the core of my values, and as a result, I reject both ANTIFA, violent protestors, and looters. I reject politicians that seek to continue a violent system and the individuals that choose to carry out this broken vision of societal organization.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a pacifist.</p>
<p>I believe that when Jesus said “turn the other cheek”, He meant it; that when Jesus said “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”, He meant it; that when Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount, He meant every word he said. If you choose to look at the teachings of Jesus from this perspective, it’s clear that humans are meant to love each other, unconditionally. I’m not about to claim that this is something I do, but it is something I try to strive for (with varying degrees of success).</p>
<p>When I came to view unconditional love as an important goal, I could no longer ever view violence in a positive light. Even when violence is used in defense, or in other ways generally accepted by the law and society, it’s still a tragedy. In my mind, I don’t see how I can love one someone unconditionally while at the same time using force against them, in an effort to harm them. I don’t believe that unconditional love and violence can coexist.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>Perhaps second only to struggle to be a consistent pacifist is the struggle to resist being a privileged pacifist. It’s easy to preach pacifism when my skin color doesn’t lead to persistent abuse and harassment from the police. It’s easy to preach pacifism when my body isn’t being deliberately pummeled by tear gas canisters. It’s easy to preach pacifism when my ability to live and thrive isn’t threatened daily by this world’s systems and powers.</p>
<p>It’s never surprised me that conservatives would scoff my convictions. It did surprise me when the sneers at the very mention of pacifism came from the left though. I hadn’t yet thought the thoughts I mentioned above, and did not realize that many pacifists are really just fair-weather pacifists: their privileged lives mean that they very rarely, if ever, are actually faced with violence so the choice of pacifism is one they can take lightly, due to their privilege, in order to maintain a haughty, snooty sense of enlightened, liberal smugness.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>The reality of pacifism (at least a pacifism born from Christ) is that it is (or should be) the opposite of privilege.</p>
<p>I need to check myself. If my pacifism is truly emerged from my belief in Jesus and commitment to His ways, this means that my pacifism must be defined by the true witness of witness of Jesus, and not the other way around. What I mean by this is that I should be modeling my pacifism off of Jesus’, rather than seeking to form my interpretation of the Gospels around a cushy, privileged form of first-world pacifism.</p>
<p>If I take true Christian pacifism seriously, I <em>will</em> both have and provoke serious enemies. I <em>will</em> make a mockery of and satirize the pageantry and customs of the elite state and capital powers. I <em>will</em> be divisive, in secular and religious circles. I <em>will</em> align myself with the marginalized against those with power. I <em>will</em> practice civil disobedience, when needed in order to do good. And yes, Christian Pacifism <em>will</em> largely render null my bourgeois notions of “property violence”.</p>
<p>My pacifism <em>must</em> accommodate the whole life of Jesus – the radical, the confronter, the unafraid, the temple stormer, the leveler. If it doesn’t then I need to look inside myself and determine where my core ethic truly comes from, whether that’s a desire for civility, being agreeable and liked, rejecting polarization, over-valuing comfort and social standing, etc.</p>
<p>I am one-hundred percent convinced that Jesus commands His followers to be pacifists. I am also now one-hundred percent convinced that true Christian pacifism leaves little (if any) room for comfort and privilege.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve been using the WAL social media this month to share a book recommendation daily to deepen the knowledge of our audience. <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/147949.We_Are_Libertarian_Book_Recommendations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Past books can be seen here. </a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s book recommendation is about the criminal justice system and its treatment of black Americans, The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over the last three months, protests popped up, challenging the authority of the state to rob individuals of their fundamental rights. After every death of an innocent black man at the hands of a police officer, people of color say the same thing: Fully fulfill the promises that this country made in the Declaration of Independence. Hold the government accountable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have to ask those that supported lockdown protestors but not the peaceful demonstrators in the streets this question. If lockdowns had continued for not just one month but decade after decade, would you be angry at being ignored? Would you feel rage at the 80% of the country that did not support you, that mocked and dismissed you, and at a government that refused to listen? How would that rage be expressed?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every human being has the right to life, liberty, and property. A Byzantine system of laws exists to keep black Americans from that promise. The right is uncomfortable this past decade because it is experiencing what much of this country has always felt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Libertarians generally frame their struggle against the government through the lens of oppression by the state. That boot is on the neck of black men at a higher percentage than that of white men. The evidence is concrete and irrefutable. We just witnessed the state put its knee on the neck of George Floyd. What will our response be this time?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Will it be indifference by saying, “Whites get killed too.” “What about Chicago?” “I won’t listen because of looters”?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Will those that do care move on after week, changing nothing?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Or will we finally come together to fight for the rights and dignity of every human being? When a government fails to hold itself accountable, the people are duty-bound to force the state to comply with its original promises. The task is not impossible, and it takes a majority of Americans to end injustice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first step is to understand the problem. Yesterday’s book was Rise of the Warrior Cop, and today’s is the New Jim Crow. These books sufficiently inform readers about what has happened in the last two weeks as well as a path to ending it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many black people have to be murdered before the smug white liberals realize that their insistence on growing the state makes them culpable? How many black people have to be murdered before racist conservatives realize that they are the finders and supporters of the modern-day KKK?</p>
<p>There are no good cops, because the entire system is rotting to the core. Burn that system down. Abolish the police.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>Police as an organization, policing as the system that exists in America, is based on oppression, racism, and violence.</p>
<p>Without the cops, who is there to enforce the racist war on drugs? Without the cops, who is there to unjustly lock up tens of thousands of people, an insanely disproportionate number of whom are black and brown? Without the cops, who is there to perform all these lynchings of black men with legal authority and protection?</p>
<p>There’s no one!</p>
<p>To put on a cops uniform and badge is to sell yourself to that system. From the moment you put it on to the moment you take it off, you are making yourself just a cog in that racist, authoritarian system. That’s not me dehumanizing cops, that’s what they do to themselves by their choice in profession. Their good intentions are irrelevant.</p>
<p>The system of policing requires the degradation of the under-privileged and marginalized. Being a cop means willingly being a part of that system. Willingly being a part of that system is nothing but a way to degrade yourself and slowly suffocate your own humanity.</p>
<p>Now, thankfully — unlike skin color — the profession of being a cop is a choice. I beg cops to go AWOL, to take that uniform off and throw it away for good. You can save your humanity and be a part of making good in this world, rather than enforcing the system of privilege and violence and power. Good men and women can be underneath cop uniforms, but that uniform chains them down.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>The following is an excerpt from Alex Vitale’s work, <em>The End of Policing</em>:</p>
<p><em>Reform won’t save us. The origins and function of the police are intimately tied to the management of inequalities of race and class. The suppression of workers and the tight surveillance and micromanagement of black and brown lives have always been at the center of policing. Any police reform strategy that does not address this reality is doomed to fail. We must stop looking to procedural reforms and critically evaluate the substantive outcomes of policing. We must constantly reevaluate what the police are asked to do and what impact policing has on the lives of the policed. A kinder, gentler, and more diverse war on the poor is still a war on the poor.</em></p>
<p><em>What we are witnessing is a political crisis. At all levels and in both parties, our political leaders have embraced a neoconservative politics that sees all social problems as police problems. They have given up on using government to improve racial and economic inequality and seem hellbent on worsening these inequalities and using the police to manage the consequences. For decades, they have pitted police against the public while also telling them to be friendlier and improve community relations. They can’t do both.</em></p>
<p><em>We are told that the police are the bringers of justice. They are here to help maintain social order so that no one should be subjected to abuse. The neutral enforcement of the law sets us all free. This understanding of policing, however, is largely mythical. American police function, despite whatever good intentions they have, as a tool for managing deeply entrenched inequalities in a way that systematically produces injustices for the poor, socially marginal, and nonwhite.</em></p>
<p><em>Is our society really made safer and more just by incarcerating millions of people? Is asking the police to be the lead agency in dealing with homelessness, mental illness, school discipline, youth unemployment, immigration, youth violence, sex work, and drugs really a way to achieve a better society?</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s hard to imagine, but we’re already almost to June!  Isn’t that wild?  Feels like just yesterday we were in March…</p>
<p>Well, though most of us have been locked down, time still moves forward, meaning we are one day closer to the 2020 Election!  And with that, candidates are having to reach voters in different ways versus traditional door-knocking and shaking hands at parades, making podcasts a great forum for candidates to flesh out their ideas in a thoughtful and articulate manner.  </p>
<p>So, if you’re running for office, be it as a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, etc… email me at <a href="mailto:brian@briannicholsshow.com" rel="nofollow">brian@briannicholsshow.com</a> to discuss coming on the show! </p>
<p>One such candidate is that of Elliott Scheirman, Libertarian congressional candidate against incumbent Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw (TX-2)!  Listen as Elliott outlines his libertarian alternatives to that of Congressman Crenshaw and why he would be the best candidate to move liberty forward as representative from Texas’ second congressional district. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s perhaps the most unnatural thing a person can do. Turn the other cheek when struck. Washing the feet of your enemies. Serving those who wish ill upon you. Why should we grant kindness to those unworthy of it?</p>
<p>Let’s examine Mary Poppins. I know, I know, not exactly a philosophical font, but it has a distinct message and a rather powerful one at that. For all of the colorful characters in the film, there is actually only one dynamic character. Mary Poppins herself is always firm and pleasant. Burt is always goofy and upbeat. The children, Jane and Michael, want magic and then experience magic, but their demeanor never changes. Mrs. Banks begins the movie having already converted to a revolutionary for women’s rights and she ends with that same goal.</p>
<p>It is Mr. Banks who embarks on an unwanted journey from a rigid man of routine into a gleeful father and husband. It’s easy to lose focus on him amidst the joy and high jinks of the rest of the cast. But he’s the most important character in the entire film.</p>
<p>This is not to say the other characters serve no point. Actually, quite the opposite. Mary Poppins, Burt, the children, and several other wacky characters combine for an environment of love, magic, and joy. Ultimately, it is this culture that gives them the strength to make an end to the suffering of the film’s odd mix of protagonist and antagonist (Mr. Banks). While he is clearly the reason the wife is not free to express her political beliefs, the maids sulk around, and the children live sheltered lives, he is still sympathetic. Burt reminds the kids that their father is struggling. He might deserve to struggle based on his behavior. But leaving him to suffer alone is not going to change his oppressive nature.</p>
<p>Michael has earned tuppence and wants to feed the birds with it. His father wants him to invest it in the bank. In the end, Michael gives the tuppence to his father, forfeiting his own fun for his father’s appeasement. When Mr. Banks is sacked, he stares at the tuppence. How great a sacrifice Michael made for him! How hard was his heart to take that bit of hard-earned joy from his son? In a fit of overwhelming humor, Mr. Banks gives the tuppence to Mr. Dawes Senior, the sulky bank owner. Upon doing so, the ancient-looking owner dies of laughter, much to the delight of his son (Mr. Dawes Junior) who had never seen his bookish father so happy in his very long life.</p>
<p>Now, Michael could have done what was fair and just. He could have kept his tuppence and fed the birds. But his sacrifice set in motion a feeling enthusiasm and joy in Mr. Banks and, by extension, the fellow bankers. This joy is eventually delivered back to Michael and his family. His father fixes his kite, flies it with the kids, and Mr. Banks uses his wife’s “Votes for Women” sash to act as the tail, sailing her once dark secret from him proudly into the air for the word to see. He accepts his wife and children as individuals whom he cherishes.</p>
<p>It’s not often possible to directly track how the good that goes around comes around. But it is nevertheless true. The world of Mary Poppins is fantasy, but the man who’s heart changes, Mr. Banks, lives in reality. He never goes on a magical journey. His story is real. He represents the villains in our lives, our authority figures and bosses that deserve a swift kick in the shins. But if we give them that kick, our situation only gets worse. If we give them our tuppence, our service, we will help them to enter our world of magic; our world where people are good to each other. And isn’t a lifetime of a cheerful relationship better than feeding the birds for a few minutes?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">To those of you who are more upset about the incidents of looting and vandalism occurring in Minneapolis than the fact that the cops there flat-out murdered George Floyd (and murder people like him on a regular basis), all you’re doing is making your reactionary, largely racial, prejudices obvious to the rest of us.</p>
<p>Every time yet another black person is killed by the police, and your condemnation of protester behavior is stronger than your condemnation of the murderous thugs with badges, your racism is is showing.</p>
<p>Every time you choose to dismiss the legitimacy of mass people’s protests movements and groups like Black Lives Matter over the actions of a few who take advantage of the chaos to rob and harm, you’re racism is showing.</p>
<p>It’s obvious in times like these.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Just to be absolutely, abundantly clear: poor people who’ve barely been scraping by for decades looting an insured store owned by some corporate welfare-supported conglomerate or bank is in no way even remotely as bad or as condemnable as the epidemic of white supremacy that is killing and ruining thousands of George Floyds all the time.</p>
<p>It is fair to say that looting is wrong, and that it should be discouraged. It is fair to say that it is counter-productive and self-harmful. I’m not denying those things. But to be screeching about the looting while staying silent or subdued about the killing of George Floyd is nothing short of covert racism being made overt. It’s nothing short than valuing capital over life. It’s nothing short of valuing privilege over justice.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Police are the vanguard of state power. Every law passed is enforced by the police. Otherwise, politicians are people with bad opinions. They must uphold the basic rights found in the Constitution. The rights of a person in custody are supposed to be protected first and foremost. Most citizens have intentionally allowed society to demonize “criminals” to protect our rights instead of worrying about the rights of the accused.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />Multiple officers stood by as one man chose to deny the right to life that George Floyd inherently had. Why did they do nothing? Maybe they didn’t see Floyd as a human deserving of rights. I don’t know their motivations, but I do know that Americans are asking police officers to enforce too many laws, which puts them in a hostile relationship with the people they are supposed to serve. It is creating an environment where the public becomes less human and more “a criminal” to some in the law enforcement profession. They’re too busy to build relationships with the communities they serve.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />Voters generally beg politicians to create environments that require deadly force to solve society’s problems. Then they cheer on state power by calling police heroes. While their work is far more dangerous and precarious than mine, police officers are not a special class of citizen with super rights. I don’t think the vast majority of officers want to be considered unique, nor are they evil, and I think they want to see crimes within their ranks prosecuted. I think they have a terrible job that they ought to quit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />A bureaucratic state has one fatal flaw: it refuses to hold its own accountable. Government is a monopolization on force, and it uses this power to absolve itself of wrongdoing. From impeachment no longer working as a check and balance to police shootings not being prosecuted, the system protects itself.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />We protect the system with this “All ____ are heroes” bullshit. Patriotism has historically been used to manipulate well-meaning citizens into letting power off the hook. As an individualist, I firmly reject that. Patriotism is collectivism, and it becomes nefarious when it is used to support moral and ethical violations within a system. Great atrocities can happen when an agent of the government can absolve their conscience by saying, “What can I do? I am just following orders.”<br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When they deny basic human rights to the people in their care, they should be held accountable for their actions. When they see other police officers doing nothing, they become complicit. When they don’t keep their own accountable, we must.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />If the system creates a lack of consequences for illegal acts, more illegal acts become more frequent. When the force of law no longer reigns in immoral acts, then it is time to use the power of public opinion to bring the administrative state to heel.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Zachary Burcham are your hosts this week as Dakota Davis is off being an essential worker! </p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/179" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/179</a></p>
<p>This is the conclusion of the spring candidate series, sponsored in 2020 by Weiland’s Flowers. <br />
Huge episode with the four Republican candidates for Henry County Council at Large. Three incumbents seeking reelection Clay Morgan, Harold Griffin, and Betsy Mills; along with challenger Travis Lyall.</p>
<p>How does each candidate view their role as a councilperson? What should be happening with food and beverages taxes in the wake of a pandemic? How do the candidates want to fund a new jail? We talk about bonding priorities and processes. How does the council interact with land use? What are the views on the future of Memorial Park and the groups associated with it? And finally we discuss the council calling for the resignation of the incumbent county coroner.<br />
This episode is longer than normal, but a critical conversation about the future of a county. We think you will find it informative, entertaining, and worthwhile.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week, Libertarian Vice President nominee Spike Cohen was involved in two different controversies. Both involved his inability to keep his shirt on. After his nomination, the internet noted a few pictures of him at the beach posing for pictures for a fundraiser. Then again, in light of the backlash, he took his shirt off again on a libertarian podcast. You can see this appearance on the Kris and Jessi show here:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/KryssiandJess/videos/173377340771797/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/KryssiandJess/videos/173377340771797/</a></p>
<p>Of course, this made the already wild uproar hit a fever pitch. And thank God it did.</p>
<p>“How will people take the libertarians seriously if their candidates take their shirts off?” or some variation of this question seems to be the debate. Thankfully, this question is very easy to answer with multiple correct answers. If you kill half a million civilians overseas, your party is actually the real joke. If you care about a shirtless guy and not about the millions of people wrongly imprisoned, maybe you need to get your priorities straight. And, of course, yeah, he’s a bit odd, but he’s smart and kind and that matters more to me than to get hung up about his attire (or lack thereof).</p>
<p>So now let’s look at the effect of this controversy. A few thousand people have tuned in to listen to the show already (I am writing this less than six hours after it was produced). It has not even gone live on major podcast players yet. But people are tuning in that usually never tune in to libertarian podcasts. And what do they hear when they tune in? A message of understanding, self-empowerment, and unity with people that are naturally left or right leaning. He is engaging with people are have either not been reached at all, or are only being reached by a single political party and used and abused like tokens.</p>
<p>Yes, you’re going to see people that weren’t going to vote for him anyhow that are angry about Spike embarrassing them. To be fair, they have a right to be embarrassed about shirtlessness. But if this shames them to the point where they will support Donald Trump or Joe Biden, they have no idea what is truly embarrassing. Their support was lost with or without the shirt. Over the course of a long campaign, even an ideal and safe candidate will do something that voters are ashamed of and they will either stay home or vote for the duopoly.</p>
<p>But you’re also going to see outsider attention. Some will start off by insulting him or laughing at him. That’s how I got to know Spike better; saying I didn’t understand him or his campaign. What happened? He and his supporters addressed my concerns. They did not dismiss them. He understands EXACTLY what he is doing when he takes his shirt off. After finding out he’s nice guy that cares what you think, you’ll start to hear what he has to say.</p>
<p>In the show above, he brings awareness to the murder of George Floyd at the hands of law enforcement. Someone comments on the show that they are scared and have to hold up their phones every time they run in to police because she’s a minority and has seen this behavior before. She felt used by Joe Biden and marginalized by Trump. Spike brought her a little bit of liberty’s light that she had not heard before.</p>
<p>This is how it will begin for everyone. You’ll be shocked. Major media will be happy to put a camera on him to try and humiliate him. They have already begun to make this a story, bringing much attention on his chest, yes, but also some accidental attention to his message. The message will be delivered incidentally. And it will have a profound impact. It already has.</p>
<p>Spike Cohen is serving the party by reaching people and touching lives that are unreachable by “normal” libertarians. This is more than just a nice boost. It is a critical impact. Without reaching these people, libertarians will never gain enough people to win at anything. I have been spoken to by several non-libertarian friends about this incident (by the end of tomorrow, I’m sure the number of these interactions will quadruple). Yes, they laughed at me for a couple of seconds. Then we talked about the episode and I laughed at them for an hour. Well, not laughed at them, but watched them blossom to the message of freedom that they heard in a way they’ve never heard of before.</p>
<p>Might Spike lose? Of course, he’s a Libertarian. Maybe this effect doesn’t show up at the polls in the way you want. But people are hearing about alternatives to Democrats and Republicans for the first time. This is the first step; being seen and heard. Yes, he’s a bit of a weird guy. We all are. But he’s not a psychopath like every other politician on the ballot. In fact, he’s a sweet, compassionate, and intelligent guy. And he’s using his weirdness to grow a movement and party that is mired in mediocrity and difficulty. Hate it all you want, but this is our only shot at salvation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No. There we go, shortest article ever.</p>
<p>Alright, I’m kidding around. But I’m serious about answering the question. Exploring this answer helps us define the terms and actually opens us up to a new conversation that is more relevant to modern economics than these terms which have largely lost their meaning and intent.</p>
<p>If your attention span is short, I’ll answer it now: It’s likely very rare, but I would surmise that it is possible. You’d have to be very specific about both parts of the term. Let’s start with the Dictionary and expand from there.</p>
<p>Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.</p>
<p>Capitalism: an economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.</p>
<p>They do seem exclusive on their face, don’t they? But there’s actually a pretty simple way to make them fit together and it has to do with incentive. In capitalism, the private owners are looking for profit. What if they profited more by sharing their trade tools and product with others? Sounds like a business, sure, but what if they shared ownership of their tools and not just lending the tools out?</p>
<p>This is probably why voluntary socialists and capitalists seem to have so much overlap. Indeed, Adam Smith noticed that lending individual tools out every time when participating in a company was inefficient and wasted money. Even if lent out for free, permission would still need to be gathered from each individual. Can you imagine a McDonald’s where each fryer or grill was individually owned? At any time, the owner could remove privileges and hamstring the entire operation. Capitalists note that it is expedient that profits be paid individually based on work that is often done collectively. It is not against any kind of rule to work alone, but division of labor and human interest suggests that better success is going to come with multiple workers doing various tasks for a single product.</p>
<p>So we’ve seen how a capitalist might fit the definition of a socialist, let’s turn it around now. The owners might choose to share their items and make it theirs. But it is still theirs and not someone else’s; it is still ownership. So no corporate person can close their doors or take their money or their product. Their labor and their fruits do not become exported to anyone else. They might choose to share a label or brand, for commercial reach and consistency purposes, but the actual gains are internalized. This is much closer to a libertarian or voluntary socialist society than the one adopted by essentially every country on earth.</p>
<p>Both are technically compatible in this sense. You can still individually own the fruits of your labor while voluntarily donating the means of labor to a collective. Even so, it’s obvious to see why they clash; this is a very technical case, when the philosophies are expanded, the area of similarity, which is already small, potentially drops off. Most socialists would like wages and profits spread equally instead of by volume or type of labor which then puts it into opposition with capitalism. Most capitalists would want businesses, even the worker friendly ones described above, to compete with other businesses, which is usually against most socialist principles.</p>
<p>The reason I performed this exercise at all, though, is so that we can change the conversation. While there are areas of differentiation, they are clearly not opposites. Even if we use other definitions, like socialists wanting people to be equal and capitalists wanting compensation based on output, they are not mutually exclusive. Many, even most people, believe in equality in opportunity and payment based on difficulty and length of work, which borrows a bit from both economic systems.</p>
<p>Some economic philosophers actually had this debate in the last century, which has been largely lost to history now. It was a matter of praxeology (the study of human activity, though it doubles as a word you can use if you want to sit by yourself on the bus) versus mathematic economy. The mathematics desired for central planners to do what is best for people based on equations that identify maximum output. Praxeologists desired for markets to develop based on what people want and what they are willing to give. Generally speaking, socialists went with mathematics and capitalists went with praxeology, and this is why socialism became associated with centralized authority and capitalism became associated with markets. Neither definition is historically accurate, this is simply how the ideas and conversations evolved until today.</p>
<p>I won’t elaborate because it goes beyond the purview of the article. But the understanding of capitalism and socialism might help explain why you feel like you have a foot in both camps. You probably do and you have more in common with those who oppose your preferred economic model than you think.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This afternoon, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/499184-trump-demands-governors-allow-churches-to-open" target="_blank">President Trump ordered that the nation’s Governors allow their churches to reopen this weekend</a>, deeming them essential to America.</p>
<p>A few thoughts on this:</p>
<ol>
<li>The Church is essential, but not to America. The Church is the opposite and enemy of empire, whether that’s the empire of Babylon, Rome, or Washington D.C. Stating that The Church is essential for America is like stating that Jesus’ ministry was essential for Herod’s reign – it’s a nonsensical claim that totally misses the subversive, liberating nature of the former and the evil, binding nature of the latter.</li>
<li>The Church is essential, but the Church building is not. I look forward to returning to in-person fellowship at my Church’s building very much, but not to the point where I’m willing to endanger the elder and immuno-compromised members of that community. If congregational fellowship has suffered over the past few months, that’s the fault of the congregants, not an inherent result of not meeting physically.</li>
<li>Christians, stop letting the GOP use you as pawns. You honestly think Trump cares about your churches? Only for the votes he can so easily get from them.</li>
</ol>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alrighty, strap in.  This is a marathon episode. </p>
<p>First 10 minutes: I don’t usually do this, but I took some time to start the show to give you a quick update in regards to the LNC Convention taking place virtually this weekend, especially when considering that the once-favored candidate to win the nomination (Congressman Justin Amash) has withdrew his name from consideration.</p>
<p>Post LP Chat: Now for the meat and potatoes of the episode!  Bill Ottman, CEO of Minds.com, joins the show to discuss the importance of freedom as it pertains to our use of social media, traditional media, publishers, and more!  Oh, and he shot me over an awesome <em>Verified</em> badge on Minds.com, so that’s legit. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For new folks to the LP Process… Candidates must collect “tokens” to get into the official debate. It is a way of determining who has serious support. It is somewhat of a straw poll, but it is the case that some will cast a token because they want to hear more. So, Monds, is sort of newer, and people may want to hear more. But let me give you my analysis of where the race stands.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="291" height="570" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/97837798_10106114360594204_892864129642004480_n.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-38854" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/97837798_10106114360594204_892864129642004480_n.jpg 291w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/97837798_10106114360594204_892864129642004480_n-153x300.jpg 153w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/97837798_10106114360594204_892864129642004480_n-77x150.jpg 77w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 291px) 100vw, 291px" /></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The threshold to win is 50% plus 1, so a little over 500 votes. While Hornberger leads in tokens, his lead is misleading. His base is around 25% of the delegates, as is Smith and other Mises Caucus choices. For a caucus that is less than 3 years old, that is an impressive growth of the percentage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hornberger’s attacks on Amash did not sit well with delegates from the other camps. This is a tiny camp of people, and turning the guns inward to win is felt more deeply than in other parties. While he has strong positives from folks, he also draws the most detractors. The biggest criticism other than the Amash jabs were his statements that he would rather get one percent in the popular vote with principled people than four percent in the Matt Welch debate on Sunday. Once Johnson hit three percent, several states have enjoyed automatic ballot access for four years, and they weren’t happy to hear that from a candidate that has spent 20 years sniping the party from outside.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Delegates are usually made up of the longest-serving party volunteers from around the country. Many of them have been involved for decades. This explains why Harry Brown’s running mate from 1996 (Jorgensen) is performing so strongly. She has long-running, deep friendships with the delegates.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gray has many Sharpe/Johnson/Amash folks supporting him, but he had a rough week through the debates, and the jury nullification “scandal” hurt. I also heard from some delegates that they were unhappy he went after Jorgensen in some of the debates. If I am on his campaign, I am apprehensive that Monds beat me in tokens.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vermin has a ceiling like Hornberger at a little under 20% of delegates. His supporters are all younger people in the party. Of the many I have privately spoken to, they’re not fans of Hornberger, Gray, or Jorgensen. So, where do they go when he is eliminated? Many of them went to Jorgensen a week ago in the LPKY delegate poll.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Monds is getting momentum at the right time: Days before the vote (allegedly Saturday). He is a hybrid of pragmatic solutions and radical messaging. He has been in the party for a long time and has many great relationships. I would bet he is everyone’s second choice versus a week ago after strong debate performances.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That is where you want to be. When you look at the ten rounds of the run-off vote, you’ll notice Hornberger never really grows. Jorgensen is/was the second choice, and it is why she won on the tenth ballot. Pay attention to the comment section of these debates. The “second favorite” candidate is usually the candidate that gets a mention in a favorable light but does not have strong support or hate either way. The good news is that they were mentioned.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="959" height="1024" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-at-May-21-19-00-14-959x1024.png" alt="" class="wp-image-38855" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-at-May-21-19-00-14-959x1024.png 959w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-at-May-21-19-00-14-281x300.png 281w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-at-May-21-19-00-14-140x150.png 140w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-at-May-21-19-00-14-768x820.png 768w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-at-May-21-19-00-14.png 1322w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />The race is wide open. The fan favorites, Hornberger and Supreme, likely do not have enough broad support to make it to the end unless some deal is struck with the Monds, Gray, or Jorgensen campaigns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most delegate eyeballs will be on the Stossel debate tonight, and that can change things.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hornberger is not out of this, but his attacks on Browne and Amash still linger. Can he re-assure the party faithful that he can carry the banner despite his past? Can Gray and Jorgensen show enough fighting spirit to retain their second-place status and avoid the “boring” tag? Can Supreme convince enough delegates to get in on the joke? Can John Monds breakthrough with a stellar performance and impress delegates seeing him for the first time as a Presidential candidate?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After Amash dropped out, everyone focused on Hornberger, Vermin, Gray, and Jorgensen. I think <a href="https://www.facebook.com/johnmonds?__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&eid=ARCenbGxB39ryVR4R5uf5D4vU4k_6_9uB5slxe-JtGEvjiKITLDOA4cdl1exZ_jaWgf8b5gfJIeinTJX&fref=mentions">John Monds</a> is about to sneak into the top tier and could make an upset. He gives radical ideas in a pragmatic and has shown in Georgia that he has broad appeal. He got over a million votes in a two-way race in 2008. I felt his debate performance tonight was very strong, and by the end, he had converted some folks in the live stream comments. Here is his closing statement, and I think you’ll see what I mean.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a former delegate to the Libertarian Party conventions, my criteria for selecting a candidate to support in the Presidential race are as follows:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list"><li>An understanding of the libertarian philosophy.</li><li>Temperament and Character</li><li>An understanding of the job of President.</li><li>Experience in running for office.</li><li>The ability to attract media.</li><li>Would I be embarrassed or proud in recommending them to friends and family?</li></ol>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Monds may be the only candidate that ticks those boxes for delegates at the upcoming convention in a fulfilling way.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Another life taken. Another public lynching. Another news story. Another act of recorded black death.</p>
<p>It is disturbing that our nation has become comfortable with weekly broadcasts of black bodies falling to the ground. It’s become an unsolicited prime time series that we all hope and pray will be cancelled from the collective consciousness of America’s civic memory… The death of Ahmaud Arbery is not an anomaly but a historical pattern of behavior that binds every American to an unexamined history of our nation.</p>
<p><cite>Rev. Dr. Otis Moss, III – May 17, 2020</cite></p></blockquote>
<p>The following video is powerful and haunting, and I thank Rev. Dr. Otis Moss, III and the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for producing this.</p>
<p>It wraps up at just under 23 minutes. For those of you who have accepted the reality of systemic racism, it will be affirming. For those of you who still deny this reality, ask yourself this: if, just if, systemic racism might be true, isn’t it worth 23 minutes of listening to confirm that?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>The idea of “Jubilee Economics” has been appearing in the public discourse more and more since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. But what exactly is Jubilee? Who does it help? Why should it be implemented?</em></p>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Through this <a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/category/jubilee/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">eight-part series</a>, </em>Heretic <em>editor Ryan Lindsey gives an ethics- and faith-based case for the radical economic and social concept of Jubilee.</em></p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<h2>Inequality Leads to Financial Crisis</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Before diving into this part of the series, I want to urge you to first watch this brief video about global wealth inequality. It’s slightly less than four minutes long, but does a great job of providing some context for the rest of this piece.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="720" height="405" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uWSxzjyMNpU?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><figcaption>Global Wealth Inequality</figcaption></figure>
<p>If you’re anything like me, many of the figures in that video are shocking. 300 people have more wealth than all the other inhabitants of China, India, the U.S., and Brazil combined? How can this be? And how have so many of us accepted this state of inequality as normal, and even as right and morally justified?</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">The ancient Jewish laws and customs had strict rules against charging interest on loans. The very concept of interest would have been foreign and even repugnant to many in that society. Their entire understanding of loaning was that loans were given to those in difficult times who did not have enough – loans were a way for the haves to help the have-nots, and the Jewish scriptures made it clear that the haves not be seeking profit from the misfortune of others in the form of interest (Leviticus 25:35-38).</p>
<p>Turning to the Gospel of Luke, we can see that this anti-interest sentiment was clearly endorsed and espoused by Jesus. (Keep in mind that Luke wrote this gospel with a rather bourgeoisie audience in mind – the fact that there are so many instances of radical social and economic teachings in the book attests to the unrivaled radicalness of Christ, given that if any of the Gospels were to have watered down that aspect of Jesus’ teachings, it would have been this one.)</p>
<p>First, here is a passage from Luke 6:</p>
<p class="has-small-font-size"><em><sup>32 </sup>“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. <sup>33 </sup>If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. <sup>34 </sup>If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. <sup>35 </sup>But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. <sup>36 </sup>Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.</em></p>
<p>A common refrain of those who oppose Jubilee economics and the cancellation of debts is that cancelling debts would result in the end of lending, and this will ultimately hurt the poor and desperate who need loans the most. The late Mennonite theologian John Howard Yoder addressed this claim in his seminal work, <em>The Politics of Jesus</em>:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>But how can one avoid the freezing of credit if one rejects the bait of profit? In the Sermon on the Plain Jesus gives the answer. The rich should be generous, rejecting the fear of not being repaid, because God will take care of them.</p>
<p><cite>Rev. John Howard Yoder, <em>The Politics of Jesus</em>, 1968</cite></p></blockquote>
<p>Jesus tells a Parable in Luke 12 that shows the opposite of “the rich being generous” happening:</p>
<p class="has-small-font-size"><em><sup>13 </sup>Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” <sup>14 </sup>But he said to him, “Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?” <sup>15 </sup>And he said to them, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” <sup>16 </sup>Then he told them a parable: “The land of a rich man produced abundantly. <sup>17 </sup>And he thought to himself, ‘What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?’ <sup>18 </sup>Then he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. <sup>19 </sup>And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ <sup>20 </sup>But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ <sup>21 </sup>So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.”</em></p>
<p>This parable tells of a rich man who rejects generosity in favor of ever more hoarding. Jesus spoke this parable to crowd made up of already-hungry people, many of whom were impoverished themselves. The injustice of hearing of the rich building ever-and-always larger barns to store their excess would have been all to real for these folks.</p>
<p>The Bible is full of lessons about the morality of being satisfied with <em>enough</em>, rather than always striving and conniving for <em>more</em>. We can see this in the story of the manna sent to the desert for the wondering Hebrew tribes, as they were told to only gather what they needed for that day. We can see this in the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000. We can see this when Jesus prayed for all to receive their <em>daily </em>(not weekly, or monthly, or yearly) bread.</p>
<p>One of the many lessons of the Bible is that the earth is abundant. There is more than enough for everyone, so long as we all share, reject greed, and embrace radical generosity. As William Tyndale, the man who translated the Bible into English in the 16th century, said: “Whatever we have that is superfluous we owe to those who do not have enough.” The mirror of this lesson is that acquiring and holding on to more than you need while others’ needs are unfulfilled causes problems.</p>

<p class="has-small-font-size"><em>Woe to you who join house to house,<br />
    who add field to field,<br />
until there is room for no one but you,<br />
    and you are left to live alone<br />
    in the midst of the land!</em><br />
Isiahah 5:8</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>While the earnings of a minority are growing exponentially, so too is the gap separating the majority from the prosperity enjoyed by those happy few. This imbalance is the result of ideologies which defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation.</p>
<p><cite>Pope Francis, November 2013</cite></p></blockquote>
<p class="has-drop-cap">One of the several causes of the global financial crisis that began in 2007 is the ride of wealth and income inequality. In the lead-up to that crisis, the richest 85 people on earth – enough to comfortably fit on most passenger airplanes – had as much wealth has the poorest <em>half </em>of the world’s population. That’s over 3,500,000,000 people. When incomes increase across all wealth levels, generally speaking the rich spend less of that increase than poor people do. Rather than spend the bulk of that income increase, the rich are more likely to “save”. The trick is that in our financial system, saved money doesn’t just simply sit in a bank account waiting to be used. No, “saving” is not an accurate term at all. Rather, “savings” are lent out to people – many of whom are poor or middle class – in a variety of ways.</p>
<p>And of course, that money is lent out with interest (which Jesus opposed). As the interest compounds and is paid on without end, more and more money is funneled to the rich from the rest of us. This leads to an increase in inequality, which leads to more money being lent out to those on the short end of inequality, which leads to more money being transferred to the rich. etc.</p>
<p>This awful cycle continues until lenders begin to worry that they’ll lose the money they’ve lent out, and so they stop or slow down their lending. Of course, this leads to an overall slowdown of economic activity (due to our system being built on fiat and debt), which causes a recession. And of course, recessions lead unemployment and stagnant or falling incomes.</p>
<p>Now, I’ll be the first to own that that is a simplified version of the 2007 economic collapse, but I still believe it holds valuable truth and can help shed light on what happened and what will continue to happen. Former Canterbury Archbishop Rowan Williams as warned of the danger caused by income inequality and debt for years, saying that the two cause “a spiral of asymmetry, which is where the gap between the creditors and debtors gets wider and wider. There is no particular reason why this should ever stop, that is unless we decide to try and stop it.”</p>
<p>The 20th and 21st centuries have (so far) been a continuing story of financial crises across the entire planet.</p>
<ul>
<li>The Great Depression of the 1930s and 40s</li>
<li>The energy crisis of the 70s</li>
<li>The developing world debt crisis of the 1980s and 90s</li>
<li>The East Asian financial crisis in the 1990s</li>
<li>The American and European Financial Crisis of the late 2000s</li>
<li>The economic collapse brought on by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic</li>
</ul>
<p>In the 1950s and 60s, the number of governments that struggled to pay their national debts averaged four every 20 years. Since the 1970s, that number has risen by four almost every year. Similarly, the number of times that banks required bail-outs worldwide has increased from once in the 1950s and 60s to nearly 30 times at present.</p>
<p>These crises are not inevitable!</p>
<p>Without resorting to aggressive and inefficient government tax policies, or to the idealistic notion of Jubilee that I advocate, one way to help reduce inequality is through unions and workers advocacy groups. A revival of blue and white collar unions (and a strong alliance between the two) would do wonders to raise wages for the workers of the world.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>Of course, inequality is not just linked to economic problems. Try to take in this staggering fact: according to the United Nations, nearly 1 billion people do not get enough food to eat. Think of that fact beside the massive amounts of food waste and decadence that many of us exist in every single day.</p>
<p>Kate Pickett and Richard Wilkinson, in their book <em>The Spirit Level</em>, show that richer countries with more equal societies tend to do better than rich and unequal societies in areas like physical/mental health, child well-being, and crime and violence. This is good news, gospel. More equality is better for everyone. Maybe not financially better for everyone, but better all the same.</p>
<p>Go back and re-read the passages from Luke 6 and 12. Put aside your preconceived notions about wealth, inequality, capitalism, etc. and ask yourself: <em>What was Jesus saying about inequality, greed, and generosity?</em></p>
<p>How does economic inequality affect different demographics of people? What (if anything) do you think Jesus would have to say about this?</p>
<p>How can you help make your society more equal?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="has-text-align-center">I’m #InOnTheJoke… Are You?</h3>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>(Note: This is my endorsement as the Editor of </em>Heretic <em>and as a contributor to the </em>We Are Libertarians<em> network. It is not the endorsement of the network itself.)</em></p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">First, I laughed at them.</p>
<p>Then I was mad at them.</p>
<p>Then they won me over.</p>
<p>Like many, this was my path to embracing the campaign of Vermin Supreme and Spike Cohen in their magical campaign for the Presidency and Vice Presidency.</p>
<p>When I first saw that Vermin Supreme was running to be president in 2020, I chuckled. For years I’ve enjoyed Vermin as a performance artist, and I was happy for the chance to see him produce more content. Then I noticed that he was being taken seriously by many in the Libertarian Party, and I got angry. I’d seen the campaign’s <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/inonthejoke" target="_blank">#InOnTheJoke</a> tagline, and I was indignant that this time it was <em>my </em>party, the Libertarian Party, that was the brunt of the joke. How dare Vermin and his running mate Spike Cohen make a mockery of my party!</p>
<p>Then, I actually listened to Vermin and Spike. It’s funny how actually listening to someone’s message can change your mind about them. After getting over my stubbornness and deciding to seriously give my ear to Vermin and Spike, they won me over almost instantly.</p>
<p>I was angry that they would make the Libertarian Party less respected by the establishment. The joke was on me though: they helped me realize that the establishment never would respect we heretics who stray outside of the two-party system. I was worried that my friends wouldn’t even consider voting for Vermin. The joke was on me though: many of my friends take the idea of Trump v. Biden far less seriously than they do Vermin’s candidacy. Most of all though, I was scared that Vermin and Spike didn’t actually stand for anything, that they were just here for the laughs and good times. The joke was on me though: these two fantastic men have built a campaign fueled by empathy, love, generosity, and goodwill with an incredible potential to make meaningful change in America’s political imagination. Now I’m proud to say that I and <em>Heretic</em> are in on the joke.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Vermin Supreme and Spike Cohen are brilliantly exposing our systems of power in America as the joke that they are. Do you think that Vermin’s jokes about a “pony-based economy” and utilizing zombies for energy production are bad? Wait until you see how the Feds handled the COVID-19 pandemic. You think that Vermin wearing a boot or Spike tearing his shirt off are tasteless acts? Wait until you learn what Donald Trump and Joe Biden have done to women. You think that Vermin and Spike are only this race for their own gain? Wait until you hear about all the insider trading that the “respectable” men and women in Congress get rich from.</p>
<p>You think Vermin and Spike are too absurd to be taken seriously? In a world were the policies of committing genocide in Yemen, drone-striking weddings and funerals, printing money out of thin air, and letting the crooks on Wall Street walk free while inner city dealers are locked up for life are taken seriously, being called “absurd” is high praise indeed.</p>
<p>Vermin Supreme and Spike Cohen have started something that could turn politics on its head, and it will if they are able to gain the Libertarian Party’s presidential nomination. They are trying to ignite a nonviolent revolution that exposes the politicians, the bankers, the fat cats, the bullies as the stumpy little Wizards of Oz that they are. They are radical apostles of anarchism – not of the smashing windows variety or the corporate domination fetish, but the purest form of anarchy imaginable: a world were love and empathy make our decisions rather than fear and anger.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">I have never had the pleasure of meeting Vermin Supreme (though I would very much like to someday), but from what I’ve heard him say and based on the accounts of trusted friends who have had said pleasure, I believe him to be an incredibly kind, gentle, wise, and human person. I have had the pleasure of meeting Spike Cohen online briefly (during <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NElIDyxtwAM" target="_blank">a debate the two of participated in</a> on the topic of privatized police). He was enormously intelligent, charismatic, and exceedingly gracious to me (as I imagine he is to everyone).</p>
<p>All other issues of policy, philosophy, and piety aside, I can guarantee you that supporting Vermin and Spike means supporting two decent and thoughtful men – can you say the same about supporting Joe Biden or Trump?</p>
<p>If I haven’t convinced you or swayed your mind any, let me end this with some voices other than mine.</p>
<p>The following is an endorsement for Supreme/Cohen written by my friend and fellow member of WAL, Hodey Johns:</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-facebook wp-block-embed is-type-rich">
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<post href="https://www.facebook.com/TheHodeman/posts/10219364496281434" data-width="552"></post></div>
</figure>
<p>The following is a ten-minute, mini-documentary on Vermin and Spike’s campaign and crusade:</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">

</figure>
<p>I sincerely hope that I have in some small way either increased your resolve to support Vermin Supreme and Spike Cohen if you are doing so already, or have swayed your opinion in favor of them even just a little.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-text-align-center">(Note: this blog post is merely a slightly-refined response from a conversation I had with<em> Heretic </em>and <em>We Are Libertarians </em>contributor Hodey Johns about this subject.)</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>Unfortunately, I believe that at the time of the Russian Revolution, there were (and still are) very few ideologies that didn’t see violence as an acceptable means to an end. That includes most of the 18/1900s socialist revolutionaries. I think there were a lot of those socialists who viewed violence as an acceptable means of revolution (unlike thinkers such as Tolstoy and Orwell) but who did not see intentional, ongoing systemic violence to maintain said revolution as a good thing (unlike statists such as Lenin, Stalin, et al.). This group of people didn’t realize that once violence is embraced, it can’t just be shut off once your goals are met – when used as a means, it almost inevitably becomes an end itself.</p>
<p>Imagine this hypothetical scenario: the libertarian bottom unity movement gains tremendous strength over the next few years and and a variety of circumstances (war, massive economic collapse, etc.) make a violent overthrow of the state by a bottom unity coalition possible. Let’s say this coalition is victorious and libertarian revolutionaries now control the country. Unfortunately, the members of this coalition most prone to violence and the most willing to use it are the brutalists, the neo-confederates, the nationalists, and their ilk in the libertarian movement. They take advantage of the fighting and chaos and fear and hijack the revolution from the rest of the bottom-unity coalition: instead of a libertarian paradise, America ends up being a brutalist fascist hellscape.</p>
<p>Would it be fair to blame all libertarians who took part in that revolution? Or to condemn the entire ideology of bottom unity libertarianism that fueled the revolution? Of course, everyone who partook in this hypothetical future revolution would bear some responsibility for what happened – unintended consequences must still be dealt with. And of course, the concept of bottom-unity would need to be looked-over and refined. But by and large, I think the answer to both questions is something along the lines of “well yes, but mostly no”.</p>
<p>This is how I view the Russian revolution. A bunch of good meaning people were duped into believing they could use violence for good and in the end they were taken advantage of by brutalist bad actors. Thus, it is both unfair and inaccurate to condemn all the socialists or their varied forms of socialist ideology for the despicable violence and authoritarianism that came from the USSR.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Someone recently taught me that the terrible twos are caused by a child that knows what they want but do not possess the words or sophistication to express their thoughts. Adults have the same problem when talking about politics or religion. It’s common to become frustrated by opinions that we know are wrong but can’t articulate why. The antidote for this is reading and other forms of self-education.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When I was a young conservative, I was a parrot for talk radio show hosts and didn’t have my own beliefs. I realized that when I couldn’t refute Abdul-Hakim Shabazz and Andrew Horning, I had to stop getting mad and start getting smarter. Some may say that I’m still a long ways off on the smart part but at least my thoughts are my own.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Learning about politics doesn’t have to be a large time commitment. Read the following daily: The New York Times (news), Vox (left), the National Review (right), Reason (Libertarian), and Zero Hegde (fringe). You’ll have a complete view of the news in 15 minutes. And please listen to the We Are Libertarians Podcast.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are two forms of obedience. Rational obedience and irrational obedience. For most Americans, staying inside for a month to stop the spread to reduce hospital overruns was rational obedience. It was a short sacrifice they were going to make anyways out of rational self-interest.‬</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‪When the metric went from “no hospital overruns” to “two weeks without a COVID-19 death to lift shutdown”, it became irrational obedience.‬</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‪Even the barely educated like myself know we will likely will never have a cure due to antigen shift. This disease is something we will live with for the rest of our lives and shutting down the economy will not eradicate it.‬</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‪We live with risk mitigation every day and this is no different. It’s now just another concern we have to add into list of concerns we have as we navigate life.‬</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‪In 20 years of working in mass media, I’ve found that, individually, people can be dumb but large groups of people can be incredibly intuitive. Unlike government officials, the public is increasingly more comfortable with the risks we now face and are adjusting to it. ‬</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‪As governments try to deny Americans the right to make decisions they feel are appropriate, the more unruly people will become. In a country with 30% unemployment, the worst outcome is civil unrest.‬ ‪The most likely outcome is that even the most obstinate politicians will realize over the next couple of weeks that they’ve lost the will of the people and will begin lifting all restrictions.‬</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Never underestimate the deep cowardice of politicians when faced with the wrath of their constituents.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Your patriotic duty is not to spend money. It’s to save money and to become self-reliant.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We are a country of people that live paycheck to paycheck to rent to landowners living paycheck to paycheck in a country full of businesses living month to month in a country that can’t pay its bills. That isn’t financial stability. It’s a sickness.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the credit bubble bursts, it’s going to be a worldwide depression that’s far worse than what we are experiencing now. Things like $1200 checks, stimulus bills, PPP, or borrowing to pay for entitlements may have some short-term benefits, but the long-term consequences could be devastating. Or it could just mean a permanent lack of growth with entire generations never having a chance to live out their dreams.

<p>Also, I’m sure you’ve noticed that we have a guy in our movement running for president who wears a giant yellow and black hat that states, “TAXATION IS THEFT”.  Well guess what… ya’ll are in for a treat, as that guy, one Mr. Dan “Taxation is Theft” Behrman, is joining us this week for another fun-filled episode!</p>
<p>And with that, Dan joins me to not only discuss his candidacy and big yellow hat, but to focus specifically on Dan’s primary mission: reaching folks from the Republican and Democratic parties and showing them the value of liberty.  We also take some time to discuss Dan’s new book, “In Defense of Chaos”, and then wrap things up by digging into the 2020 election and the prospects of growing the liberty movement. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Since it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of <strong>brave knights</strong> and <strong>heroic courage</strong>. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.</p>
<p><cite>C.S. Lewis, <em>On Stories, and Other Essays on Literature</em>, 1982</cite></p></blockquote>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Today is the 76th birthday of American filmmaker and storyteller, George Lucas.</p>
<p>Yes, <em>the </em>George Lucas. The creator of Star Wars. The perfecter of Sci-Fi. The apostle of space opera.</p>
<p>As you may have gathered, I am a Star Wars fan. No, who am I kidding – I’m an obsessive Star Wars fanatic. I love the story, I love the characters, I love the worlds.</p>
<p>But I won’t bore you with an outpouring of obscure Skywalker trivia or reflections on the Battle of Crait. For Lucas’s birthday though, I want to briefly go over 5 reasons why I love the franchise – and why you should too.</p>
<p>(This is not an exhaustive list of all the reasons I love Star Wars. If you don’t believe me, ask my wife or coworkers.)</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<h3>1. “Luminous Beings are We, Not this Crude Matter.”</h3>
<p>This is probably my favorite quote from all of Star Wars, at the very least my favorite from the Original Trilogy. Jedi Master Yoda tells this to the Jedi-in-training Luke Skywalker as the latter is struggling to connect to The Force, the energy that binds and connects life and everything in the fictional universe.</p>
<p>Luke is struggling to break free of the veil he’s had over his eyes his whole life: a veil that makes the universe seem like a purely physical manifestation; a veil that keeps Luke from seeing the deeper connections that link all of us together – good and bad, weak and mighty, rich and poor – we are all connected.</p>
<p>This sounds like a lot of us in reality as well. We can get so focused on the here-and-now and material concerns that we become numb and blind to our common humanity and the inherent value in that that binds us all. Every now and again, we all need to be reminded: “Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.”</p>
<h3>2. Luke Skywalker’s Struggle with Violence</h3>
<p>Luke Skywalker is a starfighter pilot. A Rebel warrior. A Jedi Knight. It seems obvious that violence would be a part of his life, an inescapable aspect of the roles he choose to take on and grow into. However, it would be more accurate to say that <em>the struggle to reject violence</em> violence is the crucial facet of this character.</p>
<p>In the Original Trilogy, when does Luke Skywalker truly become a Jedi Knight? When does he embrace his destiny and make the choice that his father was unable to? When is Luke at his peak “goodness”? I would argue strongly that this moment does not occur until the end of the final film in that trilogy, <em>Return of the Jedi</em>. At this point, Luke has given into anger. He has tried to kill Vader and the Emperor. He has succumbed to his rage.</p>
<p>Then, something wonderful happens. With his nemesis at his mercy, Luke pauses and realizes the path he is going down – and he rejects it. He tosses his lightsaber away, and with it he tosses away the last things that were holding him back from returning the light of the Jedi to the galaxy. He spares his enemy and truly become a Jedi</p>
<p>Now, Luke still struggles with violence – that’s undeniable. We see this when he nearly kills his own nephew in a moment of fear and panic. But again – as his final act – Luke redeems himself at Crait by confronting evil and saving his friends without ever raising a weapon.</p>
<p>Luke’s back-and-forth struggle to reject violence and rage mirrors many of our own struggles, and shows us that there is always hope of being better.</p>
<h3>3. The Tragedy of Anakin Skywalker</h3>
<p>I’m about to make a bold claim, but one that I will gladly defend to the death: Anakin Skywalker is the most tragic character in all of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Ever.</p>
<p>He is a slave turned warrior. A warrior turned hero. A hero turned monster. And finally, a monster that embraces it’s last sliver of goodness.</p>
<p>He was a child desperately seeking meaningful attachment who was cut off from those he cared about, forged into a weapon, and then told to make and find peace.</p>
<p>In so many ways, he never had a real shot. The Jedi Order – despite Obi-Wan’s best efforts – had nothing to offer him. Palpatine had his claws in him from Skywalker’s youth. He experienced loss after loss after loss.</p>
<p>Looking back on it, it’s amazing that Anakin remained good and as hero as long as he did. There’s a stark contrast there – one man, Anakin, exhibits the very best of life, and monster, Vader, exhibits are worst potential.</p>
<h3>4. Troopers!</h3>
<p>They often go unnamed, and most of them even go through the entire saga without showing their faces. Nevertheless, the various troopers of Star Wars should never – never – be taken for granted.</p>
<p>The Clone Troopers, Battle Droids, Stormtroopers, Rebel Soldiers, First Order Troopers, and Sithtroopers all add so much depth and scale to the universe. None of the stories would be complete without them.</p>
<p>Most of the time, these troopers go along as extras in the background. However, they occasionally get the chance to shine (namely in the Clone Wars show). And it’s in these moments that their shared being-hood (I can’t accurately say humanity here) is on full display, even in the Battle Droids.</p>
<h3>5. The Corruption & Redemption of the Jedi</h3>
<p>Watching the severely underappreciated Prequel Trilogy, it should be obvious that the Jedi Order is bogged down in corruption, hubris, and apathy. The Jedi are subservient to a galactic bureaucracy and fail to help many of the desperate and helpless on even their own base-planet. They’ve gone from peaceful guardian-monks to State police and soldiers. Their order is a travesty.</p>
<p>This is never told to us explicitly until <em>The Last Jedi</em>, when Luke Skywalker says essentially all of that to the naive Rey. It’s weird to realize that the heroes of the franchise are so faulty, so mired down in a Order that has, to be frank, grown terrible.</p>
<p>I don’t like this <em>per se</em>. It makes me sad. But it’s important to remember how quickly good intentions can sour with complacency and arrogance. The faults of the Jedi also give us a chance to see their redemption though. As Rey and Luke go on to show, the legend of the Jedi outshines the Order’s mistakes, and they can still try their damnedest to live up to that legend. Just because the Jedi’s past is full of filth, doesn’t man their future can’t be bright.</p>

<p class="has-drop-cap">Like I said at the start, this is not in any way even close to being an exhaustive list of all the reasons I love Star Wars. Goodness, the more I think about it I’m not even sure if these are my top five reasons. I could right a book with hundreds why each movie, book, and show should be loved.</p>
<p>Instead I’ll just close with this:</p>
<p>Thank you George.</p>
<p>Thank you for dreaming and for staying true to your visions. If you hadn’t grabbed a pencil and notepa to start writing the wacky and inspiring adventures of Luke Starkiller, Mace Windy, and the Whills over forty years ago, my imagination sure would have been a lot poorer off. My childhood, and my whole life, would have been a lot less fun and have a lot less heart.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>The idea of “Jubilee Economics” has been appearing in the public discourse more and more since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. But what exactly is Jubilee? Who does it help? Why should it be implemented?</em></p>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Through this <a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/category/jubilee/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">eight-part series</a>, </em>Heretic <em>editor Ryan Lindsey gives an ethics- and faith-based case for the radical economic and social concept of Jubilee.</em></p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<h2>How to Start a Jubilee</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Look back through history. Often times it easy to focus on the bad – the wars, the disasters, the plagues, the genocides, etc. But for now, let’s focus on the overlap of the good and the political. Think of one positive political change, preferably one that has happened during your lifetime.</p>
<p>Once you have that change in mind, expand on it: think about all the individuals, groups, events, and processes that were involved in making that change go from a dream to a reality. I’m almost one-hundred percent certain that you’re list will be long and never fully complete.</p>
<p>The point is that positive change always starts off as someone’s dream. To have a better future, we must first imagine a better future. To have a future where people and nations are no longer enslaved in debt, we must first imagine that future. Then, we can start the good work of implementing the dream.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">In parts <a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/2020/04/28/the-case-for-jubilee-economics-pt-1/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">I</a> and <a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/2020/05/02/the-case-for-jubilee-economics-pt-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">II</a> of this series, I wrote about the Jubilee traditions that the ancient Jewish culture had established in order to cancel debts, free the enslaved and imprisoned, redistribute land and wealth, and leave the earth to provide from its own abundance.</p>
<p>Centuries before the time of Christ, the Israelites were conquered by the Babylonian Empire and brought into exile. Eventually, the Jews were allowed by Babylon to return to their homeland of Palestine. Nehemiah – a Jewish leader – was appointed to rebuild the holy city of Jerusalem after the Jew’s return from exile. Many in the lower classes of Jewish society were hoping that the time in exile would have been transformative in an economic and social sense, but were grossly disappointed when soon after the exile happened, times of bad harvest were resulting in many people once again drowning in debt. Children were being sold into slavery, the rich and elite were once again conducting an economic conquest of the nation’s land, and inequality exploded.</p>
<p>As is almost always the case, those suffering from injustice were the first to cry out against it. Nehemiah was touched with concern and compassion and for those afflicted by debt and joined their protests. And just like the positive political change you thought of at the start of this article, this story too has a happy ending: the rich and powerful returned the land and wealth they had unjustly acquired, and the burden of debt was lifted (or at least lightened) for many.</p>
<p>This story is recorded in Chapter 5 of the Old Testament book of Nehemiah, in verses 1 through 13:</p>
<p class="has-small-font-size"><em>Now there arose a great outcry of the people and of their wives against their Jewish brethren. <sup>2 </sup>For there were those who said, “With our sons and our daughters, we are many; let us get grain, that we may eat and keep alive.” </em></p>
<p><em><sup>3 </sup>There were also those who said, “We are mortgaging our fields, our vineyards, and our houses to get grain because of the famine.” </em></p>
<p><em><sup>4 </sup>And there were those who said, “We have borrowed money for the king’s tax upon our fields and our vineyards. <sup>5 </sup>Now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children are as their children; yet we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have already been enslaved; but it is not in our power to help it, for other men have our fields and our vineyards.”</em></p>
<p class="has-small-font-size"><em><sup>6 </sup>I was very angry when I heard their outcry and these words. <sup>7 </sup>I took counsel with myself, and I brought charges against the nobles and the officials. I said to them, “You are exacting interest, each from his brother.” And I held a great assembly against them, <sup>8 </sup>and said to them, “We, as far as we are able, have bought back our Jewish brethren who have been sold to the nations; but you even sell your brethren that they may be sold to us!” They were silent, and could not find a word to say.</em></p>
<p><em><sup>9 </sup>So I said, “The thing that you are doing is not good. Ought you not to walk in the fear of our God to prevent the taunts of the nations our enemies? <sup>10 </sup>Moreover I and my brethren and my servants are lending them money and grain. Let us leave off this interest. <sup>11 </sup>Return to them this very day their fields, their vineyards, their olive orchards, and their houses, and the hundredth of money, grain, wine, and oil which you have been exacting of them.” </em></p>
<p><em><sup>12 </sup>Then they said, “We will restore these and require nothing from them. We will do as you say.” </em></p>
<p><em>And I called the priests, and took an oath of them to do as they had promised. <sup>13 </sup>I also shook out my lap and said, “So may God shake out every man from his house and from his labor who does not perform this promise. So may he be shaken out and emptied.”</em></p>
<p><em>And all the assembly said “Amen” and praised the Lord. And the people did as they had promised.</em></p>
<p>I can’t help but smile and pump my fist in the air when I read that story. Excitingly, this is not the only example of Jubilee in Old Testament. Even more excitingly, these stories from the Old Testament are not even the only evidence of debt cancellation – times of Jubilee – took place in the ancient world.</p>
<p>American sociologist <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://twitter.com/davidgraeber?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" target="_blank">David Graeber</a> (author of <em>Bullshit Jobs</em> and <em>Debt: The First 5000 Years</em>, among other works) has studied the history of debt and debt cancellation extensively. In <em>Debt: The First 5000 Years</em>, Graeber discusses how in ancient Mesopotamia (a region that mostly includes Iraq, Syria, and Kuwait) bad harvest years often led to massive amounts of debt slavery, and how farmers were forced to flee their homes and communities or face severe punishments as a result of being unable to repay debts. These farmers that fled often formed nomadic bands that would roam the region, plundering and causing all kinds of civil and political unrest. Eventually, the pressure of these nomadic bands forced the elite to reckon with the situation they had created. Graeber writes that:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>Kings periodically announced general amnesties [or] ‘clean slates’… Such decrees would typically declare all outstanding debt null and void (commercial debts were not affected), return all land to its original owners, and allow all debt-peons [slaves] to return to their families.</p>
<p><cite>David Graeber, <em>Debt: The First 5000 Years</em></cite></p></blockquote>
<p>Graeber goes on to speculate that the examples of Jubilee that the Jewish people in exile witnessed in Babylon – combined with their ancient Mosaic tradition of Jubilee – inspired the lower-class Israelites and Nehemiah to adopt the radical policies of Jubilee economics when they return to Palestine.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">I wrote about the debt catastrophe in Jamaica in <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/2020/05/02/the-case-for-jubilee-economics-pt-2/" target="_blank">part II of this series</a>. Unfortunately, Jamaica’s situation was not at all unique. In the 1980s and 1990s, a large majority of developing countries were affected by debt crises. Insane amounts of money had been loaned to these countries by American, British, and Japanese banks in the 1970s, and that lent money had originally come from oil-rich countries such as Saudi Arabia, which had restricted the oil supply to hike up the price, brought in huge cash flow that they lent to these international banks rather than spending.</p>
<p>At the start of the 80s, the U.S. government began increasing the interest rates on these debts, at the same time that the prices of the exports from these indebted countries was falling steadily. Developing countries were even less-able to repay their debts, but new loans were still being given by the International Monetary Fund and World Banks to governments that were used to pay their creditor banks, and the burden of debt continued to compile.</p>
<p>The governments of these developing nations were forced to cut spending on public goods and services (without any private alternatives in place) and replace their economies with cash crop exports. The results of these changes was horrendous, and led to protests across the globe in the 90s. In the mid-90s, many groups and activists began to call for a “millennium jubilee” to mark the year 2000. Over 70,000 people protested a meeting of rich states in Birmingham in 1998. Over 20 million across the world signed petitions for these international debts to be cancelled.</p>
<p>Slowly but surely, some world leaders began to respond. Schemes were created to cancel the debts for some countries, although large strings (more accurately, ropes) were attached to these schemes, such as complying with even more IMF and World Bank policies. For example, Tanzania had to privatize their water utilities. Malawi was forced to sell off their country’s grain reserves, one year before a deadly food crisis outbreak.</p>
<p>At this point, over $130 billion worth of international debt has been cancelled for nearly 40 countries. Millions of people now have access to much-improved health and education services as a result. In fact, in countries that have experienced debt cancellation, the number of children enrolled in primary/elementary school has increased from 6 out of 10 in the year 2000 to 8 out of 10 by 2010.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, in many countries such as Jamaica and El Salvador, the destructive and dehumanizing cycle of debt has continued largely unhindered.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">The South American country of Ecuador was strangled by debt all throughout the 1980s, 90s, and 2000s. Social activist movements in the country sprang up and protested against the payment of debts, debts that had been taken on almost entirely by pat dictators without public support. The people of Ecador demanded a public audit of their nation’s debts, in order to sort out which should be viewed as legitimate and which should be viewed as illegitimate.</p>
<p>In 2008, then-President Rafael Correa launched that audit. The result was the “illegitimization” of many of the nation’s debts, due to illegalities to do with the taking on of the debt, and the nature of the former regimes. The audit also found that these debts had caused “incalculable damage” to Ecuador’s economy. President Correa simply announced that his country would no longer make payments on these debts, and the lenders were forced to renegotiate the debts, resulting in the total cancellation of several.</p>
<p>We can see from the ancient world, the Old Testament, and the turn of the century that Jubilee economics are possible. But first they must be imagined.</p>
<p>How was the Jubilee discussed in Nehemiah brought about, and how can we apply those lessons today?</p>
<p>How does that positive change relate to the positive change you thought of at the start of this article?</p>
<p>What kind of unjust debts should be cancelled today?</p>
<p>How can more ethical lending be encouraged (on personal, commercial, and international fronts)?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Systemic racism is no myth. The shooting of Ahmaud Arbery leaves no doubt.</p>
<p>My apologies for the delay on this story. I was waiting for more information to come out (I didn’t want the MAGA hat kid thing to happen all over again). The following article does an excellent job investigating any doubts you may have about the facts of the case:</p>
<p><a href="https://thedispatch.com/p/a-vigilante-killing-in-georgia?fbclid=IwAR0hZQrXDU4I6BofL8dL4IdlD6g32jCYK9cK-7AKJbg_7cKt8p4LBplWv_w">https://thedispatch.com/p/a-vigilante-killing-in-georgia?fbclid=IwAR0hZQrXDU4I6BofL8dL4IdlD6g32jCYK9cK-7AKJbg_7cKt8p4LBplWv_w</a></p>
<p>At one time, I was a big denier in systemic racism. For me, the proof was in my reality; if you harass a black person, you get your butt kicked in a very real way. Cars with Confederate flags get keyed in parking lots around me. My last job had a guy say something casually racist and then get stabbed on his way out of the door. But after examining and travelling to places outside of my bubble, I could see that my case was not all cases. There are areas of this country, even nice, wealthy areas, where somebody can shout the n-word at a black man. And if you object on behalf of the black man, eyes will not be on the racist or the black man; they will be on you. Objecting means you become the threat.</p>
<p>I understand the mind of a skeptic. Even after accepting the truth, it’s hard to fathom anybody, even one isolated person, could still operate that way. And even more unbelievably, systemic racism is more than just an individual case. I grant that eliminating racism from the hearts and souls of every person is too lofty (though noble) a goal. For a system to form, there have to be multiple pieces. And the murder of Mr. Arbery gives us four distinct and clear points of racism that acted together.</p>
<p>1. The 911 caller. It’s embarrassing to see anybody trying to defend the 911 caller. Even if he’s not racist (which flies in the face of how he described Arbery to the dispatcher), he’s the ultimate Karen. After seeing Arbery go through a construction site for an unfinished house, he decided not to let it go, but instead to call 911. I used to play games with my friends at vacant lots like these. I still cut through them when I walk around the neighborhood. I have done so for a long time. Never have I once felt like I was being examined with suspicion or up to no good. The caller is specific; this is not just a man jogging in a construction zone, this is a BLACK man jogging in a construction zone.</p>
<p>2. The shooters. Anyone with common sense getting in the face of an unarmed man with a loaded shotgun on the street had better be an overwhelming reason to do so. Even by their own statements, these men knew nothing about what Arbery was up to. They claimed that somebody had been robbing houses and so they wanted a word with this jogger. If somebody wants a word with you by jumping you with guns ready to fire, that somebody is a psychopath. If they were really all that concerned, they could have called the police or followed him or taken a picture. Instead, they got in his face with a gun. If self-defense ever applied, it applied for Arbery.</p>
<p>3. The prosecutor. Public prosecutors are only supposed to drop cases if there is absolutely no evidence of crime at all. Even if the chances of conviction are slim to none, they have an obligation to work as hard as they can to represent justice for their side. In America, usually the problem is the opposite of this case; prosecutors tend to over charge and convict. Their resumes are filled with pride in being able to charge cases that seem hopeless. In this particular case, the prosecutor not only dropped the case, he made excuses on behalf of the defense. He claimed the video showed Arbery starting the assault (it didn’t) and that another account detailed Arbery robbing a house moments before the shooting (it didn’t). The prosecutor covered for the shooters; his literal job was to cover for Arbery.</p>
<p>4. The media. Don’t get me wrong, I understand most media is insanely left wing. Honestly, had the media, both news and social, not gone off about this, Arbery would have gotten no justice. But this does not excuse the media that vilified him. You’ll remember Botham Jean, shot in his own home by an officer, was criticized in the media because he had marijuana in his home at the time he was murdered. Trayvon Martin, also killed by a vigilante, was revealed to have drug paraphernalia. Regardless of how you feel about ANY of these shootings, the defamation was completely unrelated to the case. Arbery apparently had a criminal record 5 years prior to his death. The only reason to bring it up in the context of this case is if you are more interested in a smear campaign than the truth. It would be bad enough if just one news source went after Arbery’s character following his murder. But it was a whole series of outlets that decided on this tactic.</p>
<p>Many of us, myself included, are tired of talking about race constantly. I believe that this is because, personally, we’ve put it past us. We don’t change our values based on skin color. But this does not mean that this system of equality matches other existing systems of racism. We are getting better about getting rid of the dark history of racism in this country. But as Mr. Arbery’s innocent blood will tell you, it’s not good enough yet. So we keep fighting and keep demanding justice. To end on a positive note, the system of equality eventually overwhelmed the system of racism in this case. These guilty parties are being destroyed in the media and, after far too long, the legal system caught up with them. Sadly, stronger systems don’t make weaker systems disappear entirely. It takes effort and awareness. But the work is worth it. Arbery’s life would have been better had he been allowed to continue jogging. And our lives would have been better as well.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">Last month, while millions of Jews and Christians around the world recounted the Passover story from Exodus, the Mosaic account of the ten plagues on Egypt likely no longer seems just like some distant, ancient world mythological story. Our modern plague of COVID-19 is almost certainly not as deadly as those, but it’s nothing to underestimate. Over the past couple of months, we’ve all be subjected to now-familiar stories of exhausted nurses, inadequate supplies, and daily deaths. We’re all well aware of the devastation and fear that this virus has spread through urban areas, prisons, and poorer areas/countries that lack healthcare resources and infrastructure comparable to many “first-world” nations.</p>
<p>At the same time, crippling layoffs and floundering businesses around the world threaten us all with yet another bitter recession full of desperation and stunted dreams. And instead of joining together to get through this pandemic together, to many of us (myself included, at times) are drawing battle lines against our neighbors who are not prioritizing social-distancing and economic fears the same way that we are.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Whatever else one might say about COVID-19, it certainly is apocalyptic. Now, before you say I’m exaggerating, I don’t mean this in an end-of-the-world apocalypse sort of way, but instead in the more literal, traditional theological sense of <em>apocalypse</em> as an <em>unveiling</em> – as an extreme revelation of the true state of things.</p>
<p>This pandemic has ripped the band-aid off of truths about our society that many of us were previously able to (happily) ignore. Many of these truths are ugly and wretched. This apocalypse has exposed: the reality of public corruption and incompetence; obscene, inhumane inequalities in healthcare provision; the mass incarceration of so many; our society’s sad choice to warehouse so many of our grandparents and elders in underfunded pit stops where they live and wait to die in isolation (even in times of no pandemic); the extreme differences in whose’ lives truly matter in America.</p>
<p>Fortunately, COVID-19 has revealed some other truths, too. It has inspired many acts of solidarity and compassion, each act alone being full of proof that humanity has a divine spark. The pandemic has shown a spotlight on the incredible efforts of nurses, doctors, delivery drivers, teachers, and grocery clerks. It’s reinvigorated a cross-class labor movement. And, more than just occasionally, the virus has shown that millions of our fellow members of mankind – from all creeds, faiths, ideologies, and walks of life – will leap after the chance to be the keeper of their brothers and sisters, even if only by doing something as simple as wearing a face mask or staying home.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hate to make this pitch as a man, but if you’re a woman, I really hope you’ll consider joining the liberty movement today.</p>
<p>On one side, there’s Trump. All we really need to do is talk about the obvious. “I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything… Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.” Look, I get that it’s not rape. Just like saying, “If you’re rich, black people will let you do anything. Throw chains on them, I don’t even ask,” isn’t technically slavery. It’s just saying how stupid and easy to control they are. It’s really no surprise the Women’s March happened upon his election, he hasn’t been nice to them. Telling a contestant that the fantasy of her dropping to her knees is a pretty sight… Yuck.</p>
<p>On the other side, there’s Biden. Even if the Reade allegation turns out to be unable to be proven, this does not dismiss the many, many pictures of him grabbing little girls in filthy ways. For so many men, the #MeToo movement woke them up to seeing the uncomfortable look on women being assaulted and taking action. For Biden and the left, he’ll do it in front of cameras and not a single person stops him. Perhaps most disturbing of all is the surge of people that say they believe Tara Reade… and will vote for their rapist anyhow. It is a position that started with just a few scattered and unverified Twitter accounts. Personally, I thought they were so bad they couldn’t be real. Now it’s boldly proclaimed and headlined by the New York Times: “I Believe Tara Reade. I’m Voting for Joe Biden Anyway.” It’s now a mainstream opinion that when it comes to Democratic political victory. Women aren’t just tokens, they’re obstacles.</p>
<p>I want to stress that this is not a call to change political parties. The Libertarian Party is about to run a pro-life candidate for president. He’s free of all the hush money to porn stars and groped little children that the other two flaunt in our faces, but it’s still a legitimate concern.</p>
<p>No, what I’m asking for is a change in revolution, not a political one, but a social one. The liberty movement in America was founded by women and today we still have women hold an equal standard as men; it’s utterly non-negotiable. If you are molested, I don’t care if it’s 60 years or 6 seconds after the attack, you should be encouraged to speak up. Not just an “I hear you, I see you,” like Alyssa Milano delivered to Reade, but a full, “I will go to bat for you.” Yes, I know some claims are sometimes false, but that’s all the more reason to take the charges seriously and investigate them deeply. And even if it can’t be proven and the statutes of limitations have run out, at least we know you’ve spoken your side and can act accordingly.</p>
<p>Join the liberty revolution. Stop casting your efforts and placing your rights into the hands of monsters. You, the individual, are the smallest minority. We will not merely tolerate your voice; we need it. We crave it. Stop shouting through a plastic bag the patriarchy of old has held over your head and lift up the megaphone that activists all over the world are desperate for you to use. Please, for my sake, not even just yours, I hope you’ll consider it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">An undeniable silver lining of the COVID-19 pandemic is the stunning decrease in all sorts of pollution. Urban skylines are clear, bright, and blue. Marine life is re-entering waters they were forced to abandon long ago. Carbon dioxide levels are plummeting. Noise pollution is lower than it has been in decades.</p>
<p>These are happy occurrences and should be viewed as such by all of us. Some though, take things too far, making the claim that we (humanity) are the real virus that is afflicting the planet. While there is a root of truth to this claim – humanity has been severely negligent to the planet and has often not hesitated to harm the environment for our own selfish gain – comparing humanity to a virus is a form of gaslighting, a way to distract from the real problem and causes of environmental degradation.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Like it or not, the claim that we are the virus treads dangerously close to ecofascism (a philosophy well-exemplified in the Marvel villain Thanos, who desires to wipe out half of all life in order to lessen life’s impact on the environment). More so, the claim that <em>we </em>are the virus – we average, ordinary people – totally shifts the blame for ecological disaster onto us, while the reality of the situation is that 100 multi-billion dollar companies and and a handful of governments are responsible for nearly all pollution on earth.</p>
<p>Why shift the blame for the vast bulk of pollution from them to us?</p>
<p>That’s not environmentalism, it’s capitalist and state propaganda <em>yet again</em> passing the buck. It’s the elites trying to pass their guilt onto us, to blame us for their decadence. They have gaslit a great many otherwise sound environmentalists into believing that average and impoverished people literally dying would be good for the world. And within that gaslighting lays the fact that they would prefer millions of us to die so that they can continue their exploitative and destructive practices.</p>
<p>Are we the virus? No.</p>
<p>Is exploitation and lack environmental regard the virus? Yes.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="has-text-align-center">The Benefit of Ritual</h3>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Since early March, my wife and I’s local church (like all other sane congregations) has cancelled in-person services in favor of online times of worship. These streamed services still take place during the same time (Sunday at 10am) and largely follow the same pattern (opening song, welcome statement, announcements, children’s time, liturgy, etc.).</p>
<p>I’ll fully admit that some Sundays it’s difficult to motivate myself to pull the service’s livestream up on out T.V. – maybe I’m in the middle of an exciting chapter, or I want to do my exercise routine, or I want to go on a walk – but I’m happy to say that so far every week, we have tuned in and participated in the services. And I’ll also fully admit that at times it can feel a bit hokey trying to actively listen and participate in a service taking place on the television. I hardly imagine that I’m the only one who feels that way.</p>
<p>Many Christians are probably asking themselves what the use of tuning in to these streamed services is. This is likely especially true due to how much many modern churches rely on emotional engagement, an <em>experience</em>, to enthrall their congregants. To be fair, if you attended church in order to get something out of it, in order to feel like there was a productive something that happened during that time, there might not be much use in these streamed services. But I would contend that aside from a mere experience – or even things more substantial like learning and fellowshipping – going to your couch to listen to (and hopefully participate in) a service is a good thing to do for it’s own sake.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">For Christians, I would contend that maintaining the practices and rituals of church is an inherent good. Ritual in and of itself can have tremendous value, even when you feel like the ritual gave you no significant emotional, mental, or spiritual experience.</p>
<p>Christians are called to be a people set apart, not just spiritually, but culturally and civically as well. Just like you can participate in certain civic rituals in order to be “more” of an American (shooting fireworks on July 4th, participating in capitalism, voting, keeping up with pop-culture, etc.), so too can participating in religious rituals help you to be “more” of a Christian.</p>
<p>Obviously, these religious rituals vary not only by denomination but by specific congregations too. I’m not trying to claim that any certain ritual or set of rituals is right or superior over others, but just that whatever your rituals as a Christian are you should keep them up (as best as possible). Not because there is any sort of of magic or experience that the rituals will generate (though they might), but because these rituals help to set Christians apart. They help to provide an outward contrast of “the world” and the Church. They help to establish a separate Christian polity.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">On Sunday mornings, get yourself up and tune into church. Contemplate the prayers. Think about the scriptures. Take communion (even if your cracker and juice have to be substituted with a tortilla chip and salsa – yes, I’ve done this).</p>
<p>In times when the structure of the Church as we know it is challenged – in this case by circumstances – it is critical to maintain our set apart culture. To fail to do so – to let our religious rituals fall away – would be to give this terrible pandemic one more victim that we had the power to save.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“If you want to lead them, you must place yourself behind them.” – Lao Tzu</em></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The above quote is a thought provoking view of one of the original libertarians in world history concerning the idea of effective leadership.  It has been repurposed through history in different cultures using different wording and is still a revered insight into strong leadership by raising up followers to greater heights by getting out of their way and inspiring them instead of ordering people around and not letting their abilities shine.  It is also how in a political organization that isn’t in power can still use its position to effect change and direct the flow of politics from a less than advantageous position.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unfortunately, that sentiment is not what this article is about.  Instead, it is about the failure of trying to convince the world to embrace your ideas while consistently showing them a side of your organization that is hopelessly lost in the past, with no forward thinking and foresight that people are looking for in these times.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Covid-19 has gripped the nation and regardless of your views on its severity or the political ramifications of society’s response, the fact remains that it has disrupted how the citizens and organizations of the country interact with one another.  Technology that isn’t exactly new is now being embraced by people to continue functioning and moving forward.  And while this should probably have happened sooner, a crisis like this has always been the catalyst for driving technology adoption throughout history.  One could go back to the 1918 influenza pandemic to track the changes in our technology at the time that it helped push forward, including vaccines and the discovery of DNA.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, one of the aspects of the country’s re-examination of how it functions has left the Libertarian Party in a situation that its own reticence to embrace that technology before has placed it.  On May 2nd, 2020 the Libertarian National Committee voted to postpone the 2020 National Convention, originally scheduled for Austin, TX the weekend of Memorial Day.  It had become apparent that continuing on with the convention would be untenable and a change should be made to accommodate the uncertainty of the times.  The vote was nearly unanimous with only one person voting against the postponement.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unfortunately, instead of having a new date or a plan in place to deal with the postponement, the LNC heard from Daniel Hayes of the Convention Committee who provided a report that did little to sway the LNC into action.  After some deliberations, the LNC voted to recess and give themselves 10 days to provide a gameplan for what will happen with the convention, scheduling to meet again on May 9, 2020.  Apparently in the next week they will be able to come to a conclusion for a problem that has been apparent for the past previous two months.  It is not exactly certain what the extra 10 days will provide that couldn’t be accomplished in the preceding 60, but that is where we are now.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are many issues that come from this which include:</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Thousands of people are now having to cancel reservations for travel and  housing without any information on when or where a rescheduled convention will take place.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>How will the delegate allocation be affected without any clear plan in place.  Some delegates will likely not be able to change their plans to accommodate a different date or location so states are now waiting to hear on the new plans and then get in touch with existing delegates as well as alternates that were chosen to see if they can even fill their allotments for the new convention time and place, which has yet to be decided.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Some states are closing in on deadline dates in their ballot access requirements.  If the new date is too far into the year the LP may be missing out on getting a candidate on these ballots.  Without knowing what the date will be, it is anyone’s guess on whether this will be an issue or not.  Are contingency plans going to be put into motion?</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>What is the financial impact of the cancellation going to do to party finances.  There are reports that there is not enough money currently in accounts to refund all convention packages.  While many will be carried over to the rescheduled convention, a large number will not and may cause an impact to the party’s ability to fight ballot access issues in the upcoming election.</li>
</ul>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These and many other issues provide problems that leaves many to wonder if anyone is considering or working to mitigate them.  However, there is one issue that came out of the meeting today that has been a problem for years that has always been pushed to another time and is now making the Libertarian Party look like it is stuck in the 20th century.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The resolution that was adopted states that the postponement will be to a PHYSICAL location on a new date to be determine.  An online or hybrid convention will not be considered because it would most likely violate the bylaws of the party.  For years it has been apparent that the party is not willing to move forward with technology advances that could streamline the voting both at convention and in running the convention itself.  In 2018, the convention was plagued with delays caused by archaic voting techniques of writing names on a piece of paper and handing them in to be counted manually, rechecked, challenged, etc.  This caused so many delays that the convention came to a hard end with an altered LNC membership vote procedure and an even more altered vote for the Judicial Committee that many considered to be out of order.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Libertarian Party bylaws prevent the use of electronic voting equipment or methods and as a result, in a time of current events, shows a lack of foresight into dealing with situations that could cause a convention to take place that will be considered by many to be, at best, less than representative.  At worst, it could lead to calls of the convention being illegitimate.  By not doing something about this situation in the past the party has no one to blame but itself.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yes, there are similar problems in the US Senate and House of Representatives where electronic voting was considered after 9/11 but being government entities they showed their incompetence in delivering real solutions and they are now having to deal with this lack of forward thought with haphazard methods.  But they are the government.  The Libertarian Party is trying to convince the people of the United States to embrace them and when it came time to deliver a huge knock it out of the park moment, the party merely whiffed at the plate.  An opportunity to show that we have thought about how to best handle was completely missed.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To be clear, an online or hybrid convention could solve a lot of issues for the party if it were to be considered.  Those who would make good delegates that represented their state parties well but cannot attend the convention because of funds, work obligations, family obligations or personal health issues could attend electronically.  Electronic voting, either on site or through an online convention could speed up the process and allow for more time for debate of important issues instead of standing around for hours waiting for the results of manual voting procedures to take place. </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many organizations are moving to online conventions this year.  Red Hat just had their annual showcase fully online, Microsoft will be doing the same for Build.  Stockholder meetings are held online and have been for years.  The Constitution Party this weekend held their convention online.  Some state libertarian parties have held theirs through zoom meetings.  There are companies and systems in place that can easily handle a thousand delegate convention with voting verification and attendance by non-delegates as well AND be cheaper than an in person convention.<br /><br />Make no mistake, this will be the way of the future as companies have been showing for several years now.  To not even have considered this as a contingency after all this time is an embarrassment.  Instead of being the party of the future we appear to everyone looking from the outside in as a relic of the past and far less organized than the other political parties that exist. </p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I doubt that much will change in the next week.  Some offer letters will be put together for alternate days and locations for some time in early July most likely and the LNC will vote on those limited options that will be presented and completely miss out on actually leading from behind in the political environment that we exist.  A footnote relegated to nothing new, nothing original, just philosophy that doesn’t prove that it is better by actually being better.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How do we expect to inspire others to achieve more and look to the future when we can’t get out of our own way long enough to even see the problems that need to be worked out?  We spend so much time and energy arguing about which brand of libertarianism is the best that there is nothing left when it comes to adequately preparing to perform the job of leading that we are trying to tell the country that we are ready to embrace.</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The time for solving this was years ago.  How we respond now to these issues that will affect the party may not be able to correct those mistakes of the past.  But when we look back in a few years, will we see the stepping up of the best of us to achieve something better?  Or just more of the same that has left us scratching our heads for a solution that has evaded us.</p>
<p></p>

<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Through this eight-part series, </em>Heretic <em>editor Ryan Lindsey gives an ethics- and faith-based case for the radical economic and social concept of Jubilee.</em></p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<h2>Why Some Debts Should be Unpaid</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Imagine a linear spectrum drawn on the ground with these two statements at opposite ends:</p>
<ul>
<li>Debts should always be repaid.</li>
<li>Debts should never be repaid.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you asked everyone you knew to arrange themselves on that spectrum based on which statement they believed in more, where do you think the bulk of people would be? How do you think the spread of people would change if you clarified that you weren’t talking strictly about financial debts?</p>
<p>I imagine that at first, you would see a fairly even spread of people across the spectrum, but there would be a definite imbalance towards the first statement (that debts should always be repaid). However, after clarifying that not all debts are financial, I believe you would see the opposite imbalance form.</p>
<p>Not all debts are financial, but all debts are moral issues complete with ethical (and religious/spiritual) implications and considerations. To view the very idea of debt as something that can be solely isolated to the physical realm is wrong, because debt (of any type and any amount) creates and sustains a power dynamic between moral agents.</p>
<p>Just as it is dangerous to over-spiritualize the idea of Jubilee, it’s equally dangerous to over-materialize the concept of debt.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Palestine in the time of Jesus was a and occupied by a great foreign power, the Roman Empire. Debt was one of the chief tools that the Romans used to oppress the Jews. Rural farmers were forced to sell their land to pay taxes to the Romans and their puppet-king, and once they were saddled with debt, massive percentages of what they produced had to be given to their creditors in order to avoid total destitution. Much like in our society, the have-nots were funding the decadency and oppressiveness of the haves.</p>
<p>If unforeseen circumstances arose like a bad harvest, famine, drought, – a <em>pandemic</em> – then the debtors were in even greater trouble. Many of them were faced with the options of completely selling their land and possessions and selling themselves and their family’s into a form of indentured slavery. Many ended up in “debtors’ prisons” (Matthew 18:23-25).</p>
<p>These debts were forced on people through an unjust system and compounded by events beyond their control.</p>
<p>Given that context, this passage from the fourth chapter of the <em>Gospel of Luke</em> takes on a fresh light:</p>
<p><em><sup>16</sup> He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, and went according to his custom into the synagogue on the sabbath day. He stood up to read <sup>17 </sup>and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written:</em><br />
<em><sup>18 </sup>“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,<br />
    because he has anointed me<br />
        to bring glad tidings to the poor.<br />
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives<br />
    and recovery of sight to the blind,<br />
        to let the oppressed go free,<br />
<sup>19 </sup>and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.”</em><br />
<em><sup>20 </sup>Rolling up the scroll, he handed it back to the attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at him. <sup>21 </sup>He said to them, “Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.”</em></p>
<p>This passage from <em>Luke </em>records Jesus quoting from the prophet Isaiah right at the start of His ministry. But what is the good news that He’s bringing?</p>
<p>Almost universally, Biblical scholars agree that the “year acceptable to the Lord” mentioned in that Isaiac passage is the “year of Jubilee”. As discussed in Part I of this series, Jubilee in the Jewish context that Jesus was speaking from is a time of debt forgiveness, slaves being freed, and land/wealth redistribution (Deuteronomy 15, Leviticus 25). Traditionally, Jubilee was meant to happen every seven years. This ensured that inequalities could not persist over long periods of time and that the culture could not long be out of a Jubilee mindset.</p>
<p>Considering how many of the Jewish people in Jesus’ time were literally trapped and enslaved by debt, Jesus’ call to cancel debt, free the prisoners, and return confiscated land would surly have been good – but radical – news.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">The claim that all debt should be repaid is rooted in the idea that all debt is just. But that’s clearly not the case.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>It is no good talking about the morality of debt without talking about the creditor’s responsibility… A great deal of what we have see is unethical, whether the international system since the 1970s, or sub-prime lending more recently.</p>
<p><cite>Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury</cite></p></blockquote>
<p>Over 80% of Americans live in debt. The average American’s debt amount in 2018 was nearly $38,000. Paying back on these debts often means cutting back on essentials, such as food, medical savings, transportation, or housing. By far, the main reason that most people get into serious debt is a change in circumstances, such as unemployment, a decrease in income, a separation or divorce, injury or illness, and quick rises in prices of basic goods and services.</p>
<p>At the same time, the average income in America has stayed flat at best, and often has fallen significantly when inflation and future inflation are taken into account. According to MarketWatch, as of 2018, 50 million American households could not even afford basic living expenses and nearly half of Americans could not cover an unexpected $400 emergency.</p>
<p>While the scale of the injustice is different (in good and bad ways), people in America and the rest of the world today are suffering from debts caused by forces outside of their control. Where is the moral justice in that?</p>
<p>This unjust debt trap isn’t just crushing non-elite individuals though. Powerful states across the world are also using debt to crush their weaker peers (just as the Roman Empire did to Palestine). Take the island nation of Jamaica for example.</p>
<p>Jamaica’s debts are massive. Around 33% of every dollar the Jamaican government collects is used to pay foreign lenders. The debts have resulted in price increases for all Jamaicans: when the prices go up, they are forced to borrow more in order to survive, thus compounding the national debt with high levels of personal debt. Many Jamaican’s income goes straight to their lenders, which they are never able to pay back in full. It’s a lose-lose situation for everyone – creditor and debtor alike.</p>
<p>Jamaica has had high debts for over 40 years, after their government borrowed huge sums of money to deal with an economic crisis caused by oil prices in the 1970s. The Jamaican government has since then continually received loans from Western financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. These creditors have insisted on massive cuts in public spending on services such as healthcare and education, all while ramping up the interest rates on the debts they loan out. According to the World Bank, since 1970 Jamaica has been loaned $18.6 billion, repaid $20.7 billion, but still “owes” $7.4 billion.</p>
<p>These cuts (while justified from a libertarian point of view, of course) were often poorly implemented and the services were replaced slowly, if at all. This has resulted in further devastation to the Jamaican economy and the pain that individual Jamaicans feel. In 1990, 59 out of 100,000 mothers died during childbirth. By 2010, that number increased to 110. In 1990, 97% of Jamaican children completed primary school. By 2010, that percent had dropped to 73%.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the island nation has been awfully impacted by forces totally outside of their control such as climate change, increasingly-strong hurricanes, and global economic crises. Ironically (and infuriatingly) climate change and the various economic crises are caused almost solely by the Western states and institutions that are already enslaving Jamaica in debt.</p>
<p>Success, true success, in Jamaica does not mean paying back all the  money to the banks and institutions. It means restoring the economic dignity of the Jamaican nation and people.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<h3>Parting Thoughts</h3>
<p>The Bible says that the ministry of Jesus would be good news to the poor and enslaved. What is <em>your </em>role in fulfilling that good news?</p>
<p>Are the debt situations in first century Palestine comparable to the modern debt situation?</p>
<p>An insane amount of Americans and non-Americans are living in debt. Why? Some of it can be chalked up to personal irresponsibility, but obviously not all of it.</p>
<p>Why do so many people feel such a tremendous obligation to pay – and to collect – debts?</p>

<p>And of course, being the kind soul that I am, I am making that process as easy as possible for you, as I am joined by yet another one of our fantastic Libertarian candidates, Sam Robb!</p>
<p>I had the great fortune of meeting Sam while moderating the Libertarian POTUS Debate over on “The Exchange” (along with the other amazing candidates!), which prompted Sam and I connecting to have him on the show to get to know more about his candidacy, his path to liberty, and his vision for the Libertarian Party as we approach the May convention!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mark my words; the liberty movement will never get enough people to outgun, outnumber, or outmaneuver the government. But we will still defeat it. Because, one day, we will stop trying to kill our oppressors and start trying to love them.</p>
<p>Don’t twist my words, it is philosophically sound to fight back violently against people that hurt you. But I contend that we’ll have better results if we turn the other cheek. There are many who would turn their guns against an armed person that means to do them harm (even if that harm is justified), there are few who would turn their guns against their helpful hand, their friend, their family.</p>
<p>That’s not to say it does not happen. Innocent and unarmed and loving people HAVE been executed and persecuted, even in mass, even in particularly gruesome ways. But historic examples of this often go to further my point. Martyring Christ and His apostles only made their Gospel stronger. Had Christ overthrown Caesar, His legacy would have died with the empire. The guillotines of France resulted in another monarchy whereas the murdered students were the ones to thank for winning more freedom.</p>
<p>The revolt that I call for is not one of guns and bombs and land mines and flame throwers and war. The revolt I call for is one of baked goods and hugs and wellness checks and community service and kind words. Make no mistake, this peaceful revolt is still a revolt. All five of those things I ask for have, at various times, been illegal or suppressed. And all five examples I listed of the traditional revolt have often been authorized and accepted. This is as radical and unorthodox of a revolution as I could possibly suggest.</p>
<p>This is not a denunciation of those who elect for the natural response to being enslaved, beaten, and killed. A victim is under no obligation to behave in a specific way, and I make no exception for my plan. I simply offer an alternative, one that I believe has been and will be more successful. I do not see us ever killing police and soldiers at a rate where they cannot be replaced. If Vietnam taught us anything, it’s that even if a people do kill their attackers, they often end up with the same police and military authority that they tried to avoid. I hope to avoid the choice between American Imperialism and Soviet Tyranny.</p>
<p>Brave people take up arms and stare down death in the name of love. But I think it takes an even higher degree of bravery to stare down death with no weapons at all. To hold up a rose in one hand and a note of compassion in the other and say to your enemies, “This is for you” is extremely dangerous. You may die. But if you do, would you prefer your legacy be a firearm and a rotting corpse or a flower and a message?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Denying Amash the LP Nomination Over “Purity” Concerns Would be Insane</h3>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Yesterday, Michigan Congressman Justin Amash announced that he was seeking the Libertarian Party’s 2020 Presidential nomination (it was also confirmed that he had officially joined the Libertarian Party, making him the first Libertarian congressperson in history).</p>
<p>One would think – given Amash’s excellent track record as a political independent, libertarian bonafides, Federal experience, and personal likability – that libertarians would be thrilled, overjoyed, absolutely moving heaven and earth to welcome Amash into both the Presidential race and party. But no, that’s not the case.</p>
<p>There are those who seem to think that Political parties are primarily for pontificating ideas, for making converts to an ideology, or for expressing purity. I say that’s absolute hogwash, and if that mentality bars Amash from getting the Libertarian Party’s nomination, then the whole apparatus deserves to be shattered, burnt to a crisp, and forgotten about as anything but a stupid, silly joke.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Political parties are for winning electoral and political victories. Spreading ideas and making converts is the role of organizations like We Are Libertarians, the Reason Foundation, the Cato Institute, etc. Personally, I think that spreading ideology is the more important function of the two, but that doesn’t mean that each organ of the libertarian movement should be primary dedicated to that.</p>
<p>If you want to be pure and spread ideology, find an outlet to do that (there are many). But please, leave the Libertarian Party alone to do what it needs to do – win electoral and political victories. And given the current sorry state of the Libertarian Party’s presidential candidate lineup, Amash is the best shot at doing that.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>The idea of “Jubilee Economics” has been appearing in the public discourse more and more since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. But what exactly is Jubilee? Who does it help? Why should it be implemented?</em></p>
<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Through this eight-part series, </em>Heretic <em>editor Ryan Lindsey gives an ethics- and faith-based case for the radical economic and social concept of Jubilee.</em></p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<h2>Introduction to Jubilee</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">The ministry of Jesus as recorded in the Christian Gospels was full-to-the-brim with Jesus challenging the presumed authorities of those with power in His society. Jesus was not afraid to confront and disregard the authority of everyone from the orthodox religious leaders, to the elite financial figures of Palestine, or even the whole Roman Empire itself.</p>
<p>Many of these stories and parables are undeniably concerned with economic matters.  In most translations of the New Testament, Jesus uses the verb <em>aphiemi </em>regularly, which means to completely cancel, to send far away, to liberate, to forgive what is owed. Sewn all through the Gospels (the canonical four as well as many apocryphal gospels) are instances of Jesus explicitly posing a challenge to economic inequalities and poverty. No financial or political powers of the day were safe from Christ’s severe critique.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">One of the ways that Jesus took on (again, explicitly so) the powers of the time was through His call for a reinstatement of Jubilee. But what is Jubilee?</p>
<p>Put simply, Jubilee is a time when debts should be cancelled, the enslaved and indentured should be set free, land and wealth redistributed, and the earth’s abundance allowed to provide. (Keep in mind that I am coming at explaining Jubilee from a strictly Judeo-Christian perspective, though I think that – while are justifications may differ – the ethics-based case for Jubilee is applicable to the secular as well. Good ideas are good ideas, regardless of whether they were birthed in secularism or religiosity.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Sadly, the economic and social radicalness of Jesus’ ministry fell out of favor with most Christian sects once Constantine and the Roman Empire co-opted the faith in the 4th century, and the radical edge has largely remained either worn down or sheathed since then. Jubilee has not been spared from this attempt at “respectability politics/religion”.</p>
<p>This series on Jubilee will try to show how Jesus’ challenges to the economic power system of His time can be (and should be) applied to the economic and political powers that laud over us here and now. My own journey into understanding and seeking Jubilee not only challenged, but shattered, my personal ideas about the role money should play in my life. I hope the same happens for any readers who are critical or skeptical of Jubilee.</p>
<p>More than mere changes in personal opinion though, I hope that this series challenges your preconceptions about the structure of our economy and how it should work (especially those preconceptions with a more conservative or typical-libertarian bent). It is these structural economic and power injustices that changes in personal beliefs and feelings must take a swing at.</p>
<p>I hope that at the very least, this series on Jubilee is somewhat evocative. May we all work to end the burden of debt and to foster an economy and polity that puts people first, always.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Harry Turtledove is a master of alternate-history fiction<strong>.</strong></h3>
<p>I recently completed Harry Turtledove’s novel <em>How Few Remain</em>. This is the kickoff novel of Turtledove’s lauded “<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Victory?wprov=sfti1" target="_blank">Timeline 191</a>” series, and tells the story of the second war between the American states.</p>
<p>The novel starts off right at the start of General Lee’s assault into Pennsylvania (which includes the famous battles of Fredericksburg and Gettysburg), but in this history rather than being repelled back to Virginia, Lee’s forces are victorious in surrounding Washington D.C. This prompts France and the British Empire to intervene on behalf of the Confederate States to end the war, and under that combined pressure Lincoln is forced to yield.</p>
<p>This seems like a simple enough premise for an alternate history story, but the incredibly well thought-out implications of this change that Turtledove expands in throughout the rest of <em>How Few Remain</em> are breathtaking. SPOILERS AHEAD – A few of the most interesting (in my opinion) are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lincoln is ousted from office and the Republican Party is all but viewed as a joke for the next several decades.</li>
<li>The CSA and USA share a contentious and often-militarized border straight through the middle of North America.</li>
<li>The British and USA build massive Great Lakes fleets to try and dominate those waters.</li>
<li>Lincoln becomes a socialist agitator in the American west.</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>Now, of course all of this is just alternate history that never happened. But I think that this story (and stories like it) can present a fascinating and very useful way to look at history, by thinking about what <em>didn’t</em> happen as opposed to what <em>did</em>.</p>
<p>Just like in many pieces of art how negative space is just as important as positive space, so too should the implications of the tapestry of history be viewed by the “negative space” of historical events. Only looking at what happened gives one an incomplete breadth of understanding and stifles the historical and prophetic imagination.</p>
<p>And besides, as Turtledove makes clear, thinking about <em>what if?</em> can be a hell of an enjoyable experience as well.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two episodes in one week!  How about that!?  </p>
<p>Your second episode for the week features former Libertarian congressional candidate and current Los Angeles County Libertarian Party Chair, Angela McArdle!  Angela has been busy out in LA despite the COVID-19 lockdown, as she is leading “Protest The Lockdown:<br />
Los Angeles, CA” on May 1! </p>
<p>Listen as Angela and I discuss the planned protest in LA in response to the COVID-19 lockdown, the opportunity the liberty movement has during the pandemic to educate and inspire people and bring people into the movement, and then wrap things up by discussing the seemingly(?) inevitable Libertarian Party presidential contest: Justin Amash vs. Jacob Hornberger.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">For those unfamiliar with the economic concept of scarcity, the most simple way I can put it is this: it is the historical idea that there is an unbridgeable gap between limited resources and abundant needs. Now, I’ll leave the discussion of whether or not this idea should be taken seriously or not for another day. For now, I just want to briefly look at how the ideology of scarcity has been leveraged to make us do awful things to each other: to compete rather than cooperate, to hoard land and other resources (even those as basic as toilet paper), to be willing to fight wars over material things, to seek domination and power over others rather than fostering our collective capacity to care for each other.</p>
<p>The orthodox economic, social, and political systems use this idea of scarcity to justify violent and domineering hierarchies that have set us on a dangerous collision course with our very planet. But if we are supposed to assign value based on how scarce something is, how could we value any resource or “investment” more than the health of our planet?</p>
<p>So many aspects of our shared planet – the core’s magnetic properties, the perfectly-tilted axis, the moon, our celestial neighbors, etc. – underscore the incredible rarity of our planet and its ecosystem.</p>
<p>Given that knowledge, any decision that jeopardizes our ability to live and thrive on this planet should be treated with the harshest skepticism and extreme interrogation. I would advocate for the immediate, non-violent, abolition of any governmental or economic system that is dependent on the exploitation and destruction of the planet.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">It is not absurdly self-centered and dangerous to think that our ecosystem on Earth could be unique.</p>
<p>Is is absurdly self-centered and dangerous for the world’s states and capitalists to think they can plunder and pillage Earth without consequence.</p>
<p>Each of us has only one life. One life to see the world, to build our families, to experience what brings us joy and growth, to love as much as is possible. Rather than trampling the planet underfoot for the gain of state and capital, let us liberate ourselves from this cycle of destruction and nourish the Earth as it has nourished us.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you think public discourse can’t get worse, it can.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One segment of the population that is experiencing the fallout of 22% unemployment. This group is not just the working poor that was laid off. It is and will be the owners of small businesses soon. They’re the ones standing in mile-long food bank lines. As in-artful and un-careful as the protestors are, their pain is real and deserves a voice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are also a lot of really scared people concerned about their health. They’re the vulnerable, the front line workers, and “essential” employees. Their life is going to be radically different for a long time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There’s also a third group of people, and I would place myself in this camp. Financially, I am fine. I am not all that concerned about the virus for myself. I am worried about loved ones and potential economic fallout. I am bored as hell and uncertain about the future. While my situation is better than the other two groups, I am restless and anxious. I am doing my best to keep it together, and every minute I spend on social media, it becomes that much harder.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Across the board, there is a lot of grief. It could be placed on the deserving party: an unseen biological event that really could not have been prevented (while it could have had less impactful economically or biologically.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead, it has the potential to make an enemy of neighbors with fears and anxiety stoked by charlatans and opportunists from all quarters of the society hoping to profit. In the 1920s and 1930s economic upheavals, it wasn’t the lower classes forming radical groups. It was the middle class that had lost something.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What happens when one segment of a population sees the action of another as an existential threat? What happens when one group sees another leaving their homes and view it as an act of aggression? What happens when this hysteria spreads over social networks? What happens when the “health” group weaponizes law enforcement agencies to keep unemployed people unemployed?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hopefully, nothing happens. Our standard of living is extremely high and there are release valves like spacious homes with heat, food, AC, toilets, internet, television, and a lot of hobbies. I hope that’s enough.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Things shared on social media contribute to an overall stream that feeds public opinion. Hoping one side dies, sharing bad data, going out of the way to be a dick to someone in the comments, and other ill-advised posts do matter in the long run.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I try to remember that every single person I am seeing in the news, online, or in my DMs is someone dealing with some bullshit right now. I have to constantly check my pride and remember that someone was a snarky jerk because they’re hurting or scared about something else. Every single word spoken or typed contributes to the type of society I want to live in.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As weeks go by with the economy stuck on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many economists are starting to sound the alarm that the impact of our economy screeching to a halt could cause as much, if not more longterm death and prolonged hardship than the virus itself.</p>
<p>Dan J. Mitchell, a libertarian economist with a Ph.D. in Economics from George Mason University and founder for the Center for American Prosperity is amongst those economists raising his voice in concern. Mitchell joins The Brian Nichols Show today to discuss one of his more recent articles that discusses that very concern, titled, “The Temporary Tradeoff Between Health Outcomes and Economic Outcomes”.</p>
<p>Listen as we discuss his article and then dig deeper into the dangers of a stagnant economy as it pertains to both the economic and physical health of the nation and more!</p>

<p>We talk property taxes, bills came in the mail. Do you have to pay them? Word is you have an extra 60 days, but they kinda need your money now. Jer’s township taxes went up 400% so he went on a hunt for answers. Turns out he got a great deal in 2019.</p>
<p>We think COVID restrictions might be loosening up a bit…Golf courses are staying open, possibly allowing carts too? Are parks next? How much longer will we keep the economy shut down? We talk about protests or how to communicate with the decision making overlords.</p>
<p>The big debate is…Do we social distance until there is a vaccine or herd immunity, or just until hospitals can keep up and not be overwhelmed? What did you sign up for?<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trump is insisting that <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.newsweek.com/stimulus-checks-may-delayed-trump-requires-us-treasury-print-his-name-them-1497916" target="_blank">his name be added to the millions of physical stimulus checks</a> being sent out to millions of Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic.</p>
<p>This is absurd in many levels – it defies precedent; Congress had more to do with getting this relief passed than Trump; it’s delaying the delivery of this desperately needed cash.</p>
<p>It’s also sad and pathetic. Imagine how insecure this weak man must be to insist on something so trivial and petty.</p>
<p>The pastor Addison Hodges Hart puts it well:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>The ego of this buffoon would be considered too much for a character depicted in serious fiction. It would lack verisimilitude. For that matter, so does Trump.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deaths are marked by doctors or coroners that generally have a great awareness of why a patient died. State boards of health, the CDC, and Dr. Fauci can’t change the data.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What incentive exists for hundreds of doctors across the nation to falsify records and risk their license? What direct power does the Federal Government have in forcing these individuals to do their bidding? Who stands to benefit from forging the death count? By saying Fauci should be fired for predicting a lower body count, the right is saying “more bodies are a bad thing.” If he had control of this number, why wouldn’t he preserve his job, and why wouldn’t the government inflate it to a number that is closer to original predictions? Why risk the loss of credibility.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">COVID-19 starves the body of oxygen and disrupts the other organs, which causes underlying issues to speed up death when the other person would likely have lived longer. The disease caused the death even if the heart stopped working. “He died in a car crash, so mark him as a COVID-19 death” is not happening as the Ron Paul Institute absurdly put it in a hypothetical situation that seems to be gospel now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let’s continue the question of “who benefits?” By creating what is essentially a conspiracy theory around the coding of deaths, commentators don’t have to admit that they were wrong three weeks ago. Richard Epstein should be commended for his humility is saying he made the most significant error of his career. Surely a lot of people that spend their lives studying economics had to have examined the incentive structure in this cockamamie argument?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Talk radio and TV show hosts and opinion journalists can pick up a phone and find the truth. It doesn’t benefit them to do so. It is better to intentionally lie to their audience because the audience WANTS their ears tickled. They want to have information that fits their bias. If the person seems “too left” or “too right,” those book sales, ratings, affiliate link clicks or email sign-ups may dry up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are enough honest examples of government failure in this pandemic to de-legitimize the role it plays in our lives. We don’t need to lie to them. People are desperate for accurate information that won’t manipulate them. If we are to be the alternative to the mainstream media, we can’t engage in the same behavior as the “enemy of the people.”</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve been spending the morning thinking about the <a href="https://nowhearthis.fireside.fm/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">conversations </a>I’ve had with nonprofit leaders the past few days. The word that I keep thinking of is “sacrifice.” Our society is eager to honor military service and thank soldiers for their sacrifice on behalf of the common good. We go out of our way to say thank you to those that wage war.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We don’t say “thank you” to those who wage peace enough. Employees at charities are every bit as heroic as our medical workers right now. Food banks, suicide hotlines, and substance abuse support systems are stretched thin. The stories from every organization leave one in tears with the struggle taking place in the lives of those they serve.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, we don’t even consider the sacrifice made by the working poor. The economically disadvantaged are shouldering the majority of pain right now to keep the country healthy. What I have had to give up is minuscule to what others have had to give up. The grief in households across this country is profound, and whatever we can do to alleviate the stress of people is imperative.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Call your favorite nonprofit. Thank employees for their work. Then ask how you can best support them. Reach out to neighbors and friends and check on them. Show kindness to the people you talk to online.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hope is always our greatest ally in times of trouble. It comes in the form of a friend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are reading this and you’re out of work, I want you to know that you are seen and appreciated even if you are struggling. Your job was essential to you, and you are worth so much more to the world than your employment status. Your family, your friends, and this community loves you, and we thank you. If you need help, reach out to them. If there is anything I can do to help make your burden lighter, please message me.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me get this out of the way: I can’t stand Bernie Sanders. He’s inauthentic about his wealth, he didn’t apologize to the women sexually assaulted during his campaign until he decided he wanted to run for president again, and he’s frequently supported expanding government at the expense of American lives, freedom, and rights.</p>
<p>That being said, it’s time to recruit his followers for liberty.</p>
<p>I can hear you now: Why? If he was such a terrible human being, why should his followers be any different? If they love a reprehensible person, don’t they love things that are reprehensible and are, as a result, necessarily toxic to liberty?</p>
<p>Let’s take this apart a little bit. Libertarians have gathered plenty of people who used to be Trump supporters. Is it because they loved his typos, his scandals, his fake news, his tariffs, or his expansion of debt? No. Generally, they loved business, lower taxes, and somebody who speaks positively about family values. Of the problems I listed with Bernie Sanders, how many of his supporters do you know that absolutely love his deception, his masking of molestation at his office, or his fascist tendencies?</p>
<p>I’m guessing none. If you do know one, leave them alone and stay far away.</p>
<p>What are the things they love about Bernie Sanders? I decided to read forums from his supporters and find out their top issues. And all of them have libertarian answers.</p>
<p>1. Medicine is not affordable for too many. This is absolutely true and it is an opportunity for libertarians to really hammer home some messaging. Even without dismantling the entire system, just getting rid of bad government policies makes medicine cost about one-tenth of its current cost. Sanders offered to force other people to pay for drugs and procedures, liberty lovers can do even better by making those costs appear closer to the cost of groceries than the cost of a new car. If we get rid of the crony policies that prop up the pharmaceutical and hospital industries, medical prices fall even further. And here’s a pro-tip for pushing this area, Bernie Bros HATE cronyism.</p>
<p>2. Student loan debts are out of control. It’s hard to think of anything the government has screwed up more than education. And, through a series of licenses, restrictions, and regulations, they’ve managed to botch higher and secondary education until it would be unrecognizable by the free market. This includes how to pay for it. Libertarians, for years, have supported getting rid of the ridiculous and artificial costs that drive up education. Socialists like Bernie Sanders love to use the word free, but when they use it, they mean taking somebody else’s money and paying for it. You know who can offer actually free education? Libertarians. The market has had to be forcibly restrained from giving people access to the best education on earth from the comfort of their internet connection at home.</p>
<p>3. The working class is not making enough money. They certainly aren’t. The Fed operates by giving privileged banks some money, who, in turn, give it to crony allies and politicians, then give SOME of the rest out via loans, which have to be paid back to, surprise surprise, the banks. Libertarians, if they had only two policy points, they would be “End the wars, end the Fed.” What did the market pay workers before government flattened out wages to workers? Companies were forced to pay employees a percentage of their profits; and it wasn’t a small percentage either. Henry Ford didn’t mince words: “There is one rule for the industrialist and that is: make the best quality goods possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.” While the Bernie Bros have settled for trifling over a few extra dollars an hour, libertarians can offer them ownership, a stake, and a chunk of the profits with their company. Paycheck to paycheck living becomes a distant nightmare.</p>
<p>4. We’re too involved in combat overseas. This one is almost too easy for most libertarians to capitalize on, but let me add some ammunition to your established talking points. Famously, Bernie Sanders opposed the Persian Gulf War, the Iraq War, and the Yemen War. But he voted in favor of wars in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan. Liberty-minded folks oppose political wars 100% of the time, not just 50%. If there is to be conflict, let it be fought by those who are actually fighting, not by others. The hard truth is that Bernie Sanders voted to let government use America’s children to die for him only a little less than most other politicians. I would imagine his supporters would welcome an alternative to be anti-war all of the time.</p>
<p>There’s a multitude of other issues, of course. Some require more finesse than others. But the field is ripe. If we can’t evangelize from people like Bernie Sanders, the tragic reality will be that we can’t ever get the numbers we need to fight statism. Almost everyone remembers a time when they discovered liberty for the first time. You have the opportunity, right now, to create that moment for someone else. When you pass by your neighbor, friend, or coworker who has that popular Bernie bumper sticker, you have a choice. You could key their car. You could ignore them and keep walking. Or you could say, “Hey, I’m heard Bernie dropped out of the race. If you’re not all that excited about Biden, would you mind talking with me about alternatives? By the way, I think Trump is really gross, too.” I’m positive that just saying those words will yield positive results for you. They have for me.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I took advantage of some quarantine free time to rearrange a couple of my bookshelves (full disclosure, I was somewhat motivated to do this by Hillary Clinton’s recollection of Bill’s habitual book reorganizing in <em>What Happened</em>)<em>.</em> While I was doing this, I came across several books that I believe are wholly excellent and worth reading, and wanted to give a few of them a brief shout-out.</p>
<h3><em>American Gods</em> by Neil Gaiman</h3>
<p>This modern fantasy is an epic blend of ancient myth and modern life – almost like a dark Percy Jackson novel written for a more mature audience. Gaiman’s writing is engaging as always, constantly pulling you further into the story, and this book’s messages are a genuinely insightful reflection (maybe in some ways a condemnation) on the ways that modern American culture places value on things and ideas.</p>
<h3><em>The Road</em> by Cormac McCarthy</h3>
<p>This book is beautiful, but it will break your heart. <em>The Road</em> is a suspenseful examination of a relationship of a father and son, and it peels away your preconceptions of what can and cannot be an act of love. This book is equally surprising and predictable at different points, but it’s always rewarding. McCarthy does a great job of making you feel every ounce of dread, sorrow, and hope that the characters feel.</p>
<h3><em>The Politics of Jesus</em> by John H. Yoder</h3>
<p>This book is gonna have a pretty niche audience of readers who truly love it, but I highly recommend that any Christian or former-Christian who is even slightly interested in politics and social living give it a look. Yoder – one of America’s premier theologians of the 20th century – lays out an excellent case against modern Christendom, expertly using the chiefly the Gospel of Luke as a scalpel to cut away the cancers of empire, violence, and materialism from his beloved religion.</p>
<h3><em>The Dark Lord Trilogy</em> by Luceno & Stover</h3>
<p>This is (as the title suggests) actually three books published together in one addition. These three books should definitely be read together though, as together they are an absolutely epic SciFi character study of Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader.</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Labyrinth of Evil</em> by James Luceno</li>
<li><em>Revenge of the Sith</em> by Matthew Stover</li>
<li><em>Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader</em> by James Luceno</li>
</ul>
<p>Now, I am a hardcore Star Wars fan, so I’m sure this appeals more to me than most. That being said, this books are truly great SciFi novels (especially Stover’s take on <em>Revenge of the Sith</em>), and any fan of the genre will truly enjoy them.</p>
<h3><em>Golden State</em> by Ben Winters</h3>
<p>This dystopian novel is a fearful look forward at what the future could have in store for our society if our collective ability to trust and be trusted continues to erode away. Imagine a world that was nearly destroyed largely because the people could no longer (for legitimate and illegitimate reasons) trust institutions, and so the world responded by literally criminalizing even the whitest of lies.</p>
<h3><em>American Nations</em> by Colin Woodard</h3>
<p>This book forever changed the way that I view America. Woodard provides a well-researched and documented history of the colonization and spreads (and declines) of civilizations on the North American continent. If you’ve ever felt that America is simply to large, to diverse, to conflicted, to effectively govern, this book will affirm that suspicion. Woodard goes through North America region by region and lays out exactly how the myth of “one unified American people, one American nation” is – and always been – a total fabrication.</p>

<h3>About Children’s Bureau, Inc</h3>
<p>Children’s Bureau, Inc. is a private nonprofit that has served children and families since 1851 and we’re here because many families need help to overcome the challenges that sometimes lead to unhealthy behaviors and threaten a child’s well-being.</p>
<p>We offer an array of human services to Indiana children and families.  Guided by our vision of a healthy family for every child, highly-trained case managers identify and address issues that tear families apart.  They do so in different ways:</p>
<p>Prevent – Empower families with professional support and community resources to eliminate issues that lead to entry into the child welfare system.<br />
Intervene – Work with families who find themselves in the “system” to accomplish the required goals to keep their children.<br />
Protect – Recruit and strengthen foster and adoptive homes.<br />
Support – Mentor older youth transitioning from foster care to independent living.</p>

<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/173" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/173</a></p>
<p>Back in Zoom form again. Local golf courses and all Indiana campgrounds are closed.  Liquor stores are now drive through only. The first local has been arrested for violating a stay at home order (after stealing a car).<br />
Local officials are using Google data of cell phones for policy? Is that what we want?</p>
<p>President Trump might be pardoning Joe Exotic!?</p>
<p>Finally, how does this end? When do the restrictions end? And will any policymakers be brave enough to be the first to let go of the restrictions? <br />

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tucker Carlson opens with a clip from the World Health Organization proposing entering people’s homes to “extract” the sick to protect public health. Some localities are floating the idea of closing groceries. Civil unrest is the inevitable outcome. Even if you dislike Tucker Carlson, he makes several points here very effectively. Mainly that only keeping grocery stores makes it a central gathering place for everyone in a zip code and it becomes a hot spot.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I said two weeks ago and have said consistently: People were always going to adjust their behavior to protect themselves and their family and governments enforcing shutdowns make things worse. Are you avoiding places because of your own self-interest or because the government said so?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s enforced unevenly and benefits those with the best lobbyists. It makes absolutely no sense to close things like parks or open-air businesses for instance. Many businesses would have (and did) shut down voluntarily to protect their employees and customers.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hermann Biggs served as the head of the New York City Department of Health until 1917. He built it into one of the most impressive public health departments in the world. Biggs once treated a top Tammany Hall official, and in turn, the official helped provide equipment far beyond what most hospitals or pharmaceutical companies had available. He also protected the department from politics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Biggs moved on to the state level, and when it came time to appoint his successor, a new mayor wanted to give the position away as patronage. The jobs in the Department of Health weren’t patronage positions, so Mayor Hylan and Tammany Hall began a smear campaign to drive out some of the top scientists and doctors from the department.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the department leaderless, Royal Copeland was appointed to lead the department on January 1, 1918, by the Mayor. Copeland was the dean of a homeopathic medical school, and while not a doctor, he was a loyal Tammany Hall man. He had no belief in the modern medical system that had just developed within the last few decades. Imagine Bill DiBlasio appointing an anti-vax television doctor to serve as the head of the department.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Copeland immediately began cleaning house and replacing people with party loyalists. For instance, a deputy commissioner of health with 20 years’ experience resigned, and the Mayor’s doctor replaced him. In just nine months, Tammanny gutted the best health department of 20-year veterans and all of its credibility. To save the reputation, Copeland began a campaign to stifle criticism by calling it unpatriotic to speak critically of him or the department.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On September 15, 1918, New York City reported its first case of the deadly H1N1 flu. The once-greatest public health system would enter the most lethal pandemic in history with political appointees and not doctors or scientists at the helm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In previous outbreaks of polio, the health department carefully monitored the disease and effectively closed down the city twice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In 1918, Tammany Hall’s man did nothing. After three days of rapid growth in cases, he finally made influenza and pneumonia reportable diseases though he added: “other bronchial diseases and not the so-called Spanish Influenza is said to be responsible for the illness of the majority of persons who were reported to be ill with influenza…”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As John M. Barry tartly writes in his book “The Great Influenza,” “A few more days and even Copeland could no longer deny reality. People could see the disease all around them.” He then imposed a quarantine on the city.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Politics and public health should always be separate. Politicians will make decisions for the health of the political institutions first and the citizens they serve second. Many great people serve in public health departments, but Mayors, Governors, Presidents, and legislative bodies still control their limited budgets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many parallels in this story mirror our current crisis. As we move into a debate about the government’s role in public health, everyone should remember that politicians will always use propaganda to create antipathy for institutional knowledge brought by experts. They will engage in cronyism. Bureaucratic inaction and incompetence take place because publicly funded institutions will never have the resources needed due to budget constraints. These are not exclusive to Tammany Hall or Donald Trump. It is the feature and not the bug.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oh. And Royal Copeland was later rewarded for his loyalty to Tammany Hall with a seat in the United States Senate.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Barry’s book The Great Influenza is an excellent read and provides the source material for this story.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While things seem grim at the moment, it is essential to look back 100 years and see the progress we’ve made after other horrible disruptions as a society.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In World War I, old-world mentalities that didn’t respect human life met new world technologies. Over 20 million people died in four years. It was common to lose a million men in single campaigns, with some days killing over tens of thousands of soldiers. The Great War was the most brutal war in human history.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It ended with the 1918 influenza. It was a ruthless killing machine that claimed many of its victims within 12 hours in a horrifying death. Perhaps two-thirds of the deaths came in the first 24 weeks. Some believe half the deaths took place from September to December in 1918, and the rest over two years. It killed more people in 24 weeks than AIDS did in 24 years. In total, 17 million to 100 million people died in the pandemic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over 5% of the world may have died in two years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The concept of germs and cells were controversial new discoveries. Vaccines, sanitation, toilet paper, toilets, and electricity were still novel concepts. Radio and television didn’t yet exist. Ventilators and ICU beds would have been alien technology. Air conditioning had not yet been invented. In most of the world, the sick would still have to tend to their crops to eat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During this time, the Wilson Administration used the Espionage Act to jail journalists that wrote truthful articles about the war or pandemic. It’s called the Spanish Flu because Spain had the only free press in the world due to its neutrality in the war. The rest of the world thought Spain was unique, when in fact, their governments and media were suppressing the truth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, the Postmaster General censored periodicals through the mail, which was the main source of news. He stopped delivering any journals that didn’t enthusiastically support the war.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Attorney General Thomas Gregory had the Library of Congress report the names of patrons that checked out certain books and said the government needed to monitor “the individual casual or impulsive disloyal utterances.” He revised John Adams’ Sedition Acts. It became punishable by 20 years in jail to “utter, print, write or publish any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language about the government of the United States.” Even if the statement was factually accurate, the offender could be imprisoned.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Federal government enforced the law by creating the American Protective League. Within a year, 200,000 Americans became confidential informants. They used violence to silence dissent, punished “slackers” and “food hoarders”, and investigated why neighbors hadn’t bought enough Liberty Bonds that helped fund the war. Like in Orwell’s 1984 or North Korea today, willing citizens organized spying rings to turn in fellow citizens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Wilson Administration didn’t stop there. John Berry writes in his great book “The Great Influenza, “The War Industries Board allocated raw materials to factories, guaranteed profit, and controlled production and prices of war materials, and, with the national war labor board, it’s at wages as well. The Railroad Administration virtually nationalized the American railroad industry. The Fuel Administration controlled fuel distribution (and to save fuel it also instituted daylight savings time). The Food Administration – under Herbert Hoover – oversaw agricultural production, pricing, and distribution. And the government inserted itself in the psyche of America by allowing only it’s voice to be heard, by both threatening dissenters with prison and shouting down everyone else.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The same individuals that survived war, plagues, famine and the loss of liberty went on to fight the Great Depression and a Second World War that killed 75 million people.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They went through all of that, and yet, America and the world became more prosperous and freer in the second half of the 20th century than any generation that existed previously in human history.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even if the present is tough, the future of a society is not always guaranteed to come crashing down in flames. Humans are always finding ways to become safer, healthier, and more prosperous.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Individuals in 1918 probably didn’t think our level of abundance could be possible, but it was. We should never give in to the idea that we are at a point of permanent financial ruin where liberty has been lost forever and our children will never have what we had. Our history proves it isn’t guaranteed.</p>

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>

<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts! Chase Peyton and Chris Guffey co-host today as we social distance and do our first show remotely via Zoom.</p>
<p>Back on the air, but not in the studio, the team is reunited to talk about the COVID 19 status in Indiana. Money is on the way. Was it the right thing to do? Will it end up in the right hands? All four of the guys are “essential” workers and still working. No easy answers but we try to talk through it.</p>
<p>We miss each other, bars, restaurants, barbers, and the studio…But everyone agrees that the Tiger King has captured our imagination. A full breakdown of random thoughts follows. And Chase is down low afraid of the Amish.<br />Our program is community supported on Patreon.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">By almost any measure, it’s difficult to think of a more illiberal allegedly-democratic head-of-state than Putin. Vladimir Putin was first appointed as Prime Minister by Boris Yeltsin in 1999. When Yeltsin infamously left office, Putin became the acting president of Russia until he was officially elected in 2000. He won reelection in 2004 but was constitutionally barred from a third consecutive term in 2008. In an unprecedented move, the new president named his predecessor as Prime Minister, a position that Putin filled for four years. Then, also unprecedentedly, in 2012 Putin began his third presidential term and was reelected in 2018 (his fourth term is <em>scheduled </em>to end in 2024).</p>
<p>Throughout his time as the head of the KGB and both the President and Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, he has steadily and effectively concentrated power with whatever position he was currently occupying. As he has shifted from President to Prime Minister over the past 20 years, any observer of Russian politics can clearly see that the power of each office has shifted with him. When Putin is president, the prime minister is little more than a figurehead. When Putin is prime minister, it’s <em>vice versa</em>.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">No reprieve from Putin’s stranglehold on Russia is in sight. His fourth presidential term still has four years to go, but he is already laying the groundwork to not only strip the presidency of it’s power in 2024, but to simultaneously massively beef-up the autonomy and authority of the office of prime minister.</p>
<p>Putin’s quest for unlimited and unrestrained-by-terms power is insultingly obvious and even ham-fisted at times. But it’s working. No formidable rival has arisen in the past 20 years to truly give Putin a run for his money. His cabinet is doing nothing to restrain him. The Russian legislature is rolling over for him.</p>
<p>Even more importantly, most of the Russian people seem to want him there. Yes, Putin’s true approval numbers of likely lower than what are officially reported, but he has returned a measure of respect to a nation humiliated by the fall of the Soviet Union and largely resentful by cultural modernism. That respect is based in fear and notoriety to be sure, but it’s a type of respect all the same.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Putin is not content with using his power just in Russia though. Throughout his tenure, he has made Russia more and more interventionist. From brute-force military assaults against Chechnya and Georgia, to fueling civil wars in Syria and Iraq, to outright annexing a huge part of Ukraine, Putin is a man with his eyes and appetite set on the world. He has corrupted the integrity of his own country’s electoral system and now he is trying to corrupt the integrity (what little of it remains) of democracies across the West.</p>
<p>His goal is nothing less than to rebuild a new empire as expansive and powerful as the USSR of old, if not even grander.</p>
<p>Now, how liberals, libertarians, and other non-hawks should respond to Putin’s aggression and rising empire is a difficult question that I do not have an answer for. I can say with certainty that tools like sanctions, proxy wars, and trade wars will lead to nothing good and should be avoided at all costs. But how does the liberal world deal with a force of nature like Vladimir Putin?</p>
<p>Hopefully we figure it out before the more hawkish members of the Western world get their way.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">It’s been said that Russia didn’t truly lose the Cold War, that their power simply fractured and the pieces were hidden away in various places, waiting for a new strongman to rise when the time was right and rebuild the nation to it’s Soviet-level of power.</p>
<p>It seems clear to me that Vladimir Putin is the fulfillment of that prophecy.</p>

<h3>About Matthew’s Voices</h3>
<p>Matthew’s Voices was formed in July 2016 by Jason Fishburn-Grooten.</p>
<p>The name is inspired by the Gospel of St. Matthew 25: 42 – 45 (New International Version). It reads:</p>
<p>For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me. They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’</p>
<p>Matthew’s Voices offers access to, and addresses the need for the arts in populations in our city that often go untouched, unloved, and underserved.</p>

<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">For the first time in my life as a market consumer, I cannot run to Walmart and get any grocery item I want. For the first time, I cannot turn a random impulse entering my brain into an Amazon package on my porch two days later. For the first time, I’m being forced to put my consumerism and materialism in check.</p>
<p>Thank goodness.</p>
<p>Over the next few weeks (possibly months), almost all of us will have to learn to go without luxuries and decadent services we have grown accustomed too. It will be frustrating and annoying, I’m sure. But personally, I am looking forward to being less of a mindless consumer, habitually and indiscriminately buying stuff and being more of a man who enjoys and appreciates what I have.</p>
<p>The dampening of consumerism brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic will be temporary, but hopefully the decrease of materialism won’t be.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p><em>(My intention is not to take away from the harm that the coronavirus is wrought on earth. If what I’ve said here as came across that way, please forgive me. All I have meant to do is to look for a silver lining to all of this.)</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In my view, “lives” vs. “the economy” is a false choice. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let’s say the <a href="https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf">Imperial College</a> study Trump cited was correct and 2 million Americans died suddenly in the next three-six months. How catastrophic economically would that have been? Increased medical debt, time off for bereavement, lost institutional knowledge, lower productivity and morale due to grief would be significantly higher. We will still face these economic challenges but at a much lower number. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The projections for my state have been as high as <a href="https://covidactnow.org/">136,000</a> deaths, and I saw today some estimating less than a <a href="https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections">1,000</a> because our hospitals won’t be overrun (hopefully). </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A large percentage of the country is still working and businesses are functioning, albeit in a different way. Those changes will create new revenue streams and opportunities in a couple of months. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Companies and individuals are hoarding cash, and that will be released once we get some signs of relief. That’s why the market has these historic gains the second some good news takes place. When people can get out to restaurants, they are going to go out will tip well. Companies laid employees off in an effort to avoid paying the new Congressionally-mandated paid time off they couldn’t afford without sales coming in. Most companies will rehire the majority of their employees the second they can open.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whole Foods, Amazon, Instacart and other companies are about to see work strikes due to unsafe conditions. Liability lawsuits against multiple companies are inevitable. The “let’s get back to work crowd” is not factoring in the people that don’t want to be around other human beings. Would the workers upset two weeks ago make the same choice today? It should be the business and worker’s choice and not that of the government.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some form of sheltering-in-place would have been necessary even with a ton of tests. The lack of tests meant that American society had to choose between very high death counts or still-too-high death counts. It’s a pandemic and some form of a recession was inevitable. It’s better to have human beings alive, safely in their homes, and hoarding cash for when they can spend it. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I know there is no room for a gray area in our society anymore and we all let discourse distill down into the lowest IQ argument possible. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The reality is that a pandemic is going to cause death and economic destruction. Societies can only control to what degree and some timing on things. Our responsibility is to stay as educated as possible on the different threads within something like this and make good choices for our communities, families, and ourselves.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center"><em>This will be our final daily installment of the</em> Getting Through COVID-19, Together<em> series. We will continue to add to it on an irregular basis throughout the remainder of the COVID-19 crisis.</em></p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<h2>Just Stay Home</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">As the time spent social distancing and self-quarantining stretch on and begin to be measure in weeks – even months – rather than days, the temptation to give up on these tactics and return to your “normal” life will grow and grow. I know I’m feeling the itch to leave the house and hang out with friends and and visit family, and my area of the country hasn’t been experiencing this isolation for nearly as long as other areas.</p>
<p>This temptation needs to be resisted though. The curve hasn’t been flattened enough yet and there is still no widespread effective treatment for the coronavirus. If we all try to live our normal lives again now, the past month of distance and isolation will have been for nothing. All the curve-flattening that has occurred so far will be undone, and easily-preventable deaths will happen.</p>
<p>We need to accept that this way of living is our new normal, for <em>at least</em> another month. I don’t like that any more than anyone else but it is what it is. For many of us, the best thing we can do to make sure that as many people make it through this pandemic with their lives and health as possible is to just stay home.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Our self-imposed (and in some places state-enforced) quarantines are how we live now for the near-future. So what can we do to handle this in the best way possible? How can we cope with the increasing feelings of anxiety and isolation?</p>
<p>I can’t answer these questions for everyone, but I can say what I’ve been doing.</p>
<ul>
<li>For one thing, writing the posts for this series has been a good outlet for me. The writing has allowed me to inject some positivity into the world and has forced me to think like a helper.</li>
<li>I’ve also been reading and exercising much more vigorously. Improving my mental and physical state has not only allowed me to pass time, but to pass it constructively.</li>
<li>I’m fortunate enough to be married, so I’m not having to be alone during this time. Taking advantage of the “forced un-busyness” to spend more quality time together is a definite positive side-effect of this pandemic.</li>
<li>My wife and I have used <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://discordapp.com/" target="_blank">Discord</a> and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.twitch.tv/" target="_blank">Twitch</a> to keep in contact with our close friends. Through Discord, we can have voice and video calls with large numbers of people (which is far better than just text chats) and through Twitch we’ve been able to play various party games together (I highly recommend the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://jackboxgames.com/" target="_blank">Jackbox party packs</a>).</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The New York Times has written an essential article that every American needs to read. Click here to read “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/28/us/testing-coronavirus-pandemic.html">The Lost Month: How a Failure to Test Blinded the U.S. to Covid-19</a>.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you are upset at having to shelter in place, here are the people to blame:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Dr. Robert R. Redfield, 68, a former military doctor and prominent AIDS researcher who directs the C.D.C., trusted his veteran scientists to create the world’s most precise test for the coronavirus and share it with state laboratories. When flaws in the test became apparent in February, he promised a quick fix, though it took weeks to settle on a solution. The C.D.C. also tightly restricted who could get tested and was slow to conduct “community-based surveillance,” a standard screening practice to detect the virus’s reach. Had the United States been able to track its earliest movements and identify hidden hot spots, local quarantines might have confined the disease. (Chosen by Trump)</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Dr. Stephen Hahn, 60, the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, enforced regulations that paradoxically made it tougher for hospitals, private clinics and companies to deploy diagnostic tests in an emergency. Other countries that had mobilized businesses were performing tens of thousands of tests daily, compared with fewer than 100 on average in the United States, frustrating local health officials, lawmakers and desperate Americans. (Chosen by Trump)</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Alex M. Azar II, who led the Department of Health and Human Services, oversaw the two other agencies and coordinated the government’s public health response to the pandemic. While he grew frustrated as public criticism over the testing issues intensified, he was unable to push either agency to speed up or change course. Mr. Azar, 52, who chaired the coronavirus task force until late February, when Vice President Mike Pence took charge, had been at odds for months with the White House over other issues. The task force’s chief liaison to the president was Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, who was being forced out by Mr. Trump. Without high-level interest — or demands for action — the testing issue festered. (Chosen by Trump)</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Past administrations and all Americans – <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/03/pandemic-coronavirus-united-states-trump-cdc/608215/">We Were Warned</a>: When the inevitable inquiry into the government’s response to COVID-19 happens, it will conclude that signs of a coming crisis were everywhere. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Donald Trump just heard about the Imperial Study today where they estimated 2.2 million Americans would die. He just said in a press conference: “If we can hold it down to 100,00-200,000 deaths, it’s a horrible number, we all together have done a very good job.”‬</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All of this <a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/spangle-the-buck-has-to-stop-somewhere/">was somewhat preventable</a> had his <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/28/us/testing-coronavirus-pandemic.html">agencies deregulated quicker</a>, but now, the MAGA crowd will find a way to defend the President on a pile of mass casualties in six months.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For the President to view 100,000 Americans dying as a victory is truly the most insane thing I’ve ever heard an American politician imply. My entire life I’ve heard Republicans rail against the “bigotry of low expectations” and I hope they won’t accept that as a good outcome.</p>

<h2>Replenish the Blood Supply</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Since the COVID-19 pandemic swept across America, over 4,000 blood drives have been canceled across the country, resulting in an extremely dangerous shortage in America’s blood banks.</p>
<p>For more information on this shortage, listen to Chris Spangle’s interview with the CEO of the Red Cross in Indiana.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-rich wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="720" height="405" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MFRkRg9tRYQ?version=3&rel=1&fs=1&autohide=2&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div><figcaption>Now Hear This is a conversation with leaders in Indianapolis that are working to improve the lives of Hoosiers. Our goal is to empower you to join in their work and make a difference while informing you about the unseen aspects of life in Indiana. Now Hear This airs weekends on Q95, Fox Sports 1260AM, Alt 103.3, Real 98.3 and iHeart Radio stations in Indianapolis as an effort to share the work of local nonprofits with listeners.</figcaption></figure>
<p>This shortage needs to be reduced, and fast. As the nation heads into Spring and Summer, the chances of destructive and deadly weather events intensifies. Accidents that require blood typically pick up during these months as well. At it’s current level, there is not enough blood to meet a very plausible need.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">To help avert this coming crisis, there are two main things you can do:</p>
<ul>
<li>Work with the Red Cross and local organization with space to organize a blood drive.</li>
<li>Find an existing blood drive and donate.</li>
</ul>
<p>Visit <a href="https://www.redcross.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">redcross.org</a> for more information. If you can do either of those things, you could quite literally be saving lives.</p>

<h2>Use Your Crafting Skills for Good</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Among hospitals, nursing homes, other health care services, and the public in general, there is a terrible lack of medical masks. There is a litany of reasons for this shortage, but rather than looking for who to blame, let’s look at how we can help.</p>
<p>Many hospitals and other organizations are not only accepting, but asking members of their communities to make homemade masks for their staff members. While these masks are certainly not as protective as legitimate medical mask, they are definitely better than nothing.</p>
<p>One business that is really leading the way in this effort is the fabric and crafting store Joann. <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.joann.com/make-to-give-response/" target="_blank">On their website</a>, they are providing instructions for how to make various types of masks out of multiple kinds of fabric. They are also opening up their stores and donating fabric to crafters willing to make these much-needed masks.</p>
<p>There are also many patterns for DIY masks available online. <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://shared.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/sewing/DIYFaceMask_coah.pdf" target="_blank">Here’s an example</a>.</p>
<p>Additionally, if you are not crafty you can donate to help those who are. Joann is accepting donations, but there are also many other hospitals and other organizations helping to fund these masks, such as <a href="https://www.providence.org/lp/100m-masks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Providence’s 100 Million Masks project</a>.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Aside from masks, I have also seen a desire for headbands with buttons from nurses and doctors all over social media. The buttons on these headbands can help hold up the masks and take pressure and pain off of their ears.</p>
<p>Here’s what I’m talking about:</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-reddit wp-block-embed is-type-rich">
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="embed-reddit">
<blockquote class="reddit-card"><p>      <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/lifehacks/comments/fpkshc/wearing_a_face_mask_for_an_extended_period_of/?ref_source=embed&ref=share">Wearing a face mask for an extended period of time.

</div>
</div>
</figure>
<p>I myself am not crafty at all. But I can donate. I encourage everyone to help out in this area, as you are best able.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">For whatever reason, I only recently decided to listen to the audiobook version of Hillary Clinton’s 2.5 year-old post-mortem of her own 2016 presidential campaign, <em>What Happened</em>. I had just finished the much newer book <em>A Very A Stable Genius</em> by a pair of <em>Washington Post</em> reporters and saw that <em>What Happened</em> was available for free as an audio book from my local library. So I figured “Why not?”, and took the plunge.</p>
<p>And what a plunge it was.</p>
<p><em>What Happened</em> is a 560 page book, which equates to a roughly 18.5 hour-long audiobook. Hillary Clinton, in her very own voice (a touch that I personally thought was nice), has been reading to me for the past several weeks on my daily walks and through my more mundane hours of work. Now, not all of this length is justified – like almost anything written by a politician, easily 20% of the book is made up of redundancies, rabbit trails, and unimpressive pontificating. That being said, the book does cover a lot of ground. Everything from the childhood of Hillary’s mother to Trump’s response to the Central Park Five, from the election night on November 2016 to the launch of Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential run, from a UBI-esque policy proposal to calls to war with Russia – <em>What Happened</em> covers it all.</p>
<p>I’m by no means a fan or supporter of Clinton. I didn’t vote for her in 2016, and I stand by that choice. But I don’t hate her either, I’m not one of these “Lock her up!” folks. I view her just about the same as I view 99% of politicians – I think she often has well-enough intentions but she’s easily seduced by power. I will say that I think she’s much more competent than many other politicians though.</p>
<p>I won’t sugarcoat it – I didn’t enjoy this book. Parts of it were truly interesting and informative, to be sure. But just as much if not more reeks of a person refusing to take responsibility for her own shortcomings and the shortcomings of her failed campaign. Every time Clinton makes a good point or lays out a solid critique of an opponent, she ruins the moment by immediately following with some sort of self-righteous diatribe.</p>

<p class="has-drop-cap">A large portion of this book is basically a wonkish essay on policies that the Democratic Party should start/continue to champion. She lays out the major domestic and foreign policy views of her campaign and explains how she came to hold those views in a surprising amount of detail. While I don’t agree with many of her proposals, I do appreciate her thoughtfulness. She also talks about a view policies that her campaign flirted with but ended up not launching. One of these was fascinating to me: a UBI program based on the royalties program in Alaska.</p>
<p>Hillary writes a lot about how she had prepared for a heavily policy-centered campaign – how she had hired a whole team of policy writers and researchers and had literally tens of thousands of pages of proposed legislation and executive orders written up during her bid for the White House. I imagine this approach was decided on when she still believed that 1) Bernie would not pose a serious challenge and 2) that her eventual Republican opponent would be a Jeb Bush or Scott Walker figure.</p>
<p>She described in great detail the frustration that she felt when Bernie an Trump hijacked the nation’s attention and dashed her hopes of a policy-centered election. She was quite frank with her admission that she struggled to pivot away from this approach. I felt frustrated for her – personally, I would much rather have had a policy-centered election as well, and her sense of being robbed of that quickly rubbed off on me.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Throughout <em>What Happened</em>, Hillary kept saying that she took responsibility for her defeat… right before blaming Bernie or Joe Biden for not campaigning for her enough, Trump for fueling sexism, Putin for manipulating American voters, the GOP for eroding democracy, or James Comey for reopening the investigation into her.</p>
<p>Aside from the complaint that Bernie and Biden didn’t do enough – they campaigned like crazy for a candidate neither of them really cared for all that much – I do think that there is weight to her accusations. Trump and his team (primarily Steve Bannon) did intentionally and deliberately inflame some of the worst impulses in America. Rather than rejecting racism, nativism, and sexism, Trump embraced them as weapons. Vladimir Putin did – and continues to – infuse Russian propaganda into American minds and he clearly leveraged the power of the Russian state to help Trump win. The GOP has used gerrymandering and various voter-suppression techniques to dampen voter turnout, primarily in minority-dense urban areas or rural swing districts.</p>
<p>The most damning accusation of all though, and the one that holds the most water is against James Comey, the former director of the FBI. Clinton rightly acknowledges that – while her lead was clearly narrowing in the final weeks of the election, Comey’s decision to publicly announce the reopening of the investigation in her emails in late October, 2016 blasted her hopes of winning away. Her polls never recovered from that setback, and the results of early-voting (done before the announcement) and the results from votes cast on election day show a clear decline in her popularity among undecided and independent voters.</p>
<p>Whether or not you believe that Comey was justified to do what he did, Clinton makes it very difficult to believe that he did not cost her the election.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap"><em>Whew. Thank God she did not become president</em>. I had this thought more than once while reading <em>What Happened</em>. While he domestic policies were no worse than those of a standard moderate Democrat, her foreign policy ideas – though well-thought out and explained – are horrifyingly hawkish.</p>
<p>She barely acknowledges that her support for the War in Iraq was a mistake, and she still clings on to the idea that the War in Afghanistan needs to continue. She derides Trump’s trade war with China while calling for a no-fly zone in Syria and essentially a declaration of war against Russia. Yes, you read that right: a declaration of war against Russia. She heaps praises on Democratic hawks of ages past like Lyndon B. Johnson, who oversaw the slaughter of millions in South East Asia.</p>
<p>Clinton truly embraced the worst parts of both major party’s foreign policy platforms. Her one redeeming quality in this arena is her support for the Iran Nuclear Deal.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">One part of the book that is eerily timely now is when Clinton is writing about Trump’s inability to effectively manage and staff the executive branch of the Federal Government. She mentions several times that she is terrified of how his administration would handle a genuine crisis. Keep in mind that <em>What Happened</em> was published in September of 2019.</p>
<p>Flash forward to the Spring of 2020 and we are seeing Clinton’s fears play out in real-time.</p>
<p>As the COVID-19 pandemic runs through America and the world, leaving thousands of dead, shut down cities, and ruined economies in it’s wake, Trump and his administration have been utterly incompetent in how they have handled the crisis. I would even make the case that he has been criminally negligent.</p>
<p>Clinton’s fears that Trump would go on to be an impulsive, bull-headed, and incompetent leader have been proven true by this crisis. Her hopes that he would rise to the occasion have been killed.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">There is much more I could (and maybe will, someday) write about <em>What Happened</em>, but I’ll leave it at this for now.</p>
<p>If you are a big fan of Hillary Clinton, then you’ve already likely read or listened to this book. If you haven’t you should – I imagine you’d like it. If you are political junkie, you enjoy a good semi-memoir, or are interested in being heavily involved in the Democratic Party, then you should read it as well. You might not enjoy it, but you’ll learn something from it, I’m sure.</p>
<p>For everyone else: this is a trudge, don’t bother.</p>

<h2>Help Keep Students Fed</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">It’s a sad truth, but there are likely tens of thousands of students, maybe even hundreds of thousands who rely on the breakfasts and lunches they receive from their public schools every day. While the COVID-19 pandemic has the overwhelming majority of public schools shut down at least through late April, that needs does not disappear.</p>
<p>Many school districts are continuing to provide meals for students during this time – some districts are providing for all students who ask and others are only able to provide meals for their students in lower-income families. However, some districts are unable to provide any meals at all, and some parents that live in districts that are providing meals have difficulty getting them due to transportation or scheduling issues.</p>
<p>So what can we do? Well, first you can call your local school district(s) and confirm whether or not they are able to provide any meals during this time, and what students will have access to that information.</p>
<p>If the district can provide meals and you have the ability/availability, you can see if there’s anything you can do to help. Maybe you can donate food, or money, or even help put the lunches together. Maybe you can help hand-out or deliver the meals.</p>
<p>If the district is unable to provide meals to any or all students, you’ll need some more creativity. Maybe you can canvas your neighborhood and see if there are any families that need food assistance for their children. Maybe you can get in touch with a local food bank and churches to work to keep those kids fed.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">There’s a dark temptation among many with a more libertarian or conservative bend to say good riddance to the lack of food being provided by public schools. After all, isn’t it a families job to feed their children?</p>
<p>Regardless of the merit that line of thinking may or may not have, the fact is we’re talking about kids here. If their parents are unable to provide due to genuine irresponsibility, that’s not the children’s fault. Regardless of our feelings on welfare or public school, let’s put those aside for now and make sure that kids are fed. We can tackle those other issues later.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Trump Doubles-Down in His Fight with Venezuela</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">The desperation of the Trump administration to complete the regime change that began last year in Venezuela is on full display today.</p>
<p>After the failure of Juan Guaidó and his supporters (including the U.S. government) to topple the Maduro dictatorship, many western hawks were counting on civil unrest and civilian protests to finish what they had not been able to. To be sure, that was (and is) a much more attractive alternative than either an American-backed coup or a flat-out invasion/military intervention. Personally, I agree with the hawks like Bolton that the Maduro regime needs to end, but I strongly oppose their proposed methods of making that happen.</p>
<p>For a while, looked like popular protests might actually be able to oust the Venezuelan despot. Then coronavirus stole the show. As the viral pandemic swept in, protesters left the streets and Maduro’s position as leader has become much less precarious.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Of course, that can’t be allowed to stand. Thus why Donald Trump has unleashed broad charges of “narco-terrorism” against the Venezuelan president and many members of his inner-circle, as well as a $15 million bounty for Maduro’s capture. (History buffs may recall that these are the exact type of charges that were used by the Reagan administration to capture Panamanian dictator Manuel Antonio Noriega in 1988.)</p>
<p>While the U.S. government should be focusing on how it can 1) help the country recover from COVID-19 and 2) support the rest of the world in doing the same, they are instead continuing their Cold War-esque crusade against a South American strongman.</p>
<p>This is not a defense of Maduro, who is a brutal and tyrannical bully. There’s very little I have good to say about him. But I also have very little good to say about trumped-up charges against a foreign leader during a time of crisis. Hopefully, as Donald Trump continues to go the way of Neocons with Venezuela, he continues to fail as they often have.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On February 26, 2020, there were 56 cases of confirmed COVID-19 in the United States. That was the day that Donald Trump said we were “going down and not up” in cases because he was in denial. We are now over 80,000 cases as of today, and it is much, much higher than that due to a lack of testing. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The obvious reactionary comment is “there wasn’t testing.” Who was in charge of testing? What administration and agencies had taken control of building testing? Had Donald Trump taken this more seriously in January when he was briefed on it, we could have avoided quarantines. (Donald Trump famously does not read intelligence briefings.) </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sheltering in place was necessary because the FCA and CDC didn’t allow private labs to act faster. Other countries did it the right way sooner. They had a lot of tests, traced back connections with the sick and quarantined them, and masks were worn across the country. We didn’t do that. America and its government took this seriously too late. It took Tucker Carlson for Trump to take it seriously, and let’s be honest, Joe Rogan for the rest of us to care. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Conservatives and MAGA nation are the ones morphing from “it is a hoax” to “this is just hype” to “it is hurting the economy.” Don’t think the rest of us don’t notice your shifting concerns. The truth is that the buck has to stop somewhere, and Trump supporters never seem to realize their President IS the government and DOES have power and responsibility. If you’re upset that the economy has been “destroyed” by shelter-in-place, then put the blame where it belongs before giving an individual or an institution more power. </p>

<h2>Stop Calling it the “Chinese Virus”</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">COVID-19. Coronavirus. SARS-CoV-2. Even just “the virus”. Any of those names are great ways to refer to the virus currently placing the world in a state of pandemic. They are accurate. They are clear. They are responsible.</p>
<p>On the other hand, calling it anything along the lines of the “Chinese virus” – as President Trump has been fond of doing – is less accurate and certainly not responsible. And the only thing it really makes clear is that you are insensitive to the feelings and concerns of others; that you value edginess over sensitivity.</p>
<p>The last thing the world needs right now is more division, especially not the vile division of racial and ethnic animosity. Calling COVID-19 the “Chinese virus” only deepens the already tragic fault lines between the West and China.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Since the disease truly became a global pandemic, there have been multiple instances (mainly in America) of Asian-Americans facing hostility, discrimination, and even violence. The website <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.asianpacificpolicyandplanningcouncil.org/stop-aapi-hate/?fbclid=IwAR3JVKlK6InoJIVAS2brulW7EGgoVTSPsbiwZxQ16TyRgD4F5VYXI8gTqD0" target="_blank">Stop AAPI Hate</a> has recorded over 150 such incidents. Asian-Americans have been yelled at, spit on, and sprayed with cleaner, and avoided.</p>
<p>You cannot convince me that the president calling COVID-19 the “Chinese virus” hasn’t encouraged this kind of behavior. It has, it absolutely has. And anyone else who continues to call it this is as well.</p>
<p>This is probably the simplest way we can all heal each other through this pandemic yet: all you have to do is not call it the “Chinese virus”. You have a choice between calling the disease any of many inoffensive, not-racially charged names or an offensive, racially charged name.</p>
<p>Why on earth would a decent person pick the latter?</p>

<h2>Don’t Hoard</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">“Give us this day our daily bread”. For Christians, these words almost certainly sound familiar, as they are part of <em>The Lord’s Prayer</em>. For all of us though, this time demands that we not only recognize those words, but heed them as well.</p>
<p>But what exactly does this line from a prayer two millennias old have to do with all us getting through COVID-19 together?</p>
<p>This line of the prayer clearly says “Give us this day <em>our daily</em> bread”. On a purely individualistic level, it might be logical to grab as many cans of food, bottles of cleaning spray, and bundles of toilet paper as you can. But then what is left for your neighbors? And how can you justify having an absurd surplus when others – especially those most vulnerable to this virus – are in need? An extreme individualistic outlook is not compatible with the call to take “our daily bread”, and it will not help all of us get through this pandemic.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">The next time you’re at a grocery store, and you’re tempted to load your cart as full as possible with Tylenol, bread, Germ-X, etc. take a moment to be grateful that the shoppers before you left product for you and yours. Then, return that kindness and communal thinking by making sure to leave some for the next of your neighbors that will be there.</p>
<p>You don’t need 20 containers of Clorox wipes. You don’t need 10 loaves of bread. You don’t need all the chicken breasts and ground beef that the butcher has prepared. You might want it, but you don’t need it all – but all of us need some.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-center"><strong><em>The following article was written by Steven K. (The author has asked that his full last name not be used.)</em></strong></p>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has impacted the entire world in a matter of months and has wreaked havoc on entire industries. Air travel, hotel and accommodations, ride sharing, dine-in restaurants, sports, clothing retail, luxury cruising, general entertainment industries, and so many more have been brought to their knees thanks to the pandemic.</p>
<p>It is impossible to predict when exactly American life will return to normal, if ever at all. The virus has exposed serious weaknesses in our government’s ability to respond to such a disaster and Americans have been forced to re-evaluate their values and priorities. Eventually travel and business restrictions will be lifted, however, it seems obvious that both the free market and legislators must seriously consider how to prevent and prepare for the next viral outbreak or general disaster. Where capital is invested in the future will be a hot topic of conversation once the smoke clears. How employers operate and consumers purchase will also change.</p>

</ul>
<h2>Working from Home</h2>
<p>Perhaps the most obvious adjustment to American life will be an expansion of working from home for office workers. Telecommuting is not a new concept but plenty of major corporations have been hesitant to direct their employees to work from home full-time, at least until now.</p>
<p>In a not so bold prediction, those positions that can be done from home, will be, at least on a more regular basis. I would predict that in just five years from now Americans will look back and ask why it took so long to get to widespread telecommuting – the benefits if it include a decreased chance of: viral infection spread; workplace violence incidents; in-person sexual harassment; vehicle accidents; as well as fewer carbon emissions, lower building maintenance and supply costs, and more personal freedom for employees.</p>
<p><em>Back to <a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/#TOC"> Table of Contents</a></em></p>
<h2>House Arrest & Criminal Justice Reform</h2>
<p><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="According to The Hill (opens in a new tab)" href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/488155-philadelphia-police-to-delay-arrests-for-some-non-violent-crimes" target="_blank">According to <em>The Hill</em></a>, in March of this year “the Philadelphia Police Department instructed its officers to temporarily stop making arrests for certain nonviolent crimes until next month amid the coronavirus outbreak.” Officers identified the offenders and completed necessary paperwork before releasing the offenders from detainment and only after ascertaining that the offender was not a threat to public safety. This virus has forced law enforcement to prioritize its efforts due to resource constraints and has left many asking, <em>why were we ever imprisoning people not deemed to be a threat to the public?</em></p>
<p>Inmate processing centers and county jails are breeding grounds for bacteria and infectious diseases. Considering the resources required to maintain these facilities and the risk they can pose to the health of the inmates and correctional officers, house arrest may become a more popular means of serving time.</p>
<p>Additionally, the Philadelphia Police Department’s actions beg the questions, <em>should prostitution and low level drug possession really be considered criminal offences?</em> A case is easily made that a legalized and regulated prostitution would be safer for all parties involved then it being outlawed. Should those with small amounts of drugs be treated as hardened criminals in need of punishment or people in need of help? I’ll be looking for new criminal justice reform laws from states and municipalities to ensure resources are spent on serious matters in the future.</p>
<p><em>Back to<a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/#TOC"> Table of Contents</a></em></p>
<h2>Walk-Up & Drive-Through Services</h2>
<p>Across the nation, restaurants are providing drive-through and carry-out services but are not allowing patrons to dine-in (the idea here is that there is a reduced chance of spreading COVID-19 if customers do not stay and eat at the restaurant). In an effort to reduce the need for customers to enter the establishment at all, expect to see a walk-up service, like you would find at a Rally’s, Checkers, or Cook-Out return to McDonalds and Wendy’s.</p>
<p>We will also see a renewed effort from businesses like Target and Walmart to encourage customers to take advantage of their drive-up/pick-up services. These services allow the customer to remain in their vehicle while store associates gather and deliver ordered products directly to the customer. This initiative can reduce theft, loitering, store maintenance costs, and maybe most importantly, the spread of viral infection. I expect to see major grocery chains across the nation as well as drug stores follow suit.</p>
<p><em>Back to<a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/#TOC"> Table of Contents</a></em></p>
<h2>Home Entertainment</h2>
<p>The home entertainment industry will be heavily invested in. As movie theaters appear more obsolete and outdated by the minute, major film production studios will release films directly to their respective streaming services the same day as theaters. Its not difficult to imagine a time when Disney+ will offer two tier pricing, the lower tier featuring classic films with commercial breaks and the higher priced tier featuring no commercial breaks, all films, and yes, theatrical releases in the comfort of your own home.</p>
<p>In this hypothetical setting, movie theaters become an opulent luxury. Theaters of the future will have seating for perhaps just 20 individuals per showing but will offer state of the art comfort, high quality food and beverage, and will perhaps be rented for anything from film showings to video game tournaments (or even remote work conferences).</p>
<p>Also prepare for a wider range of options in your streaming services. Many major streaming services have already reduced their streaming quality in Europe due to increased data use strains as more employees are working from home. I expect to see options to cut my streaming quality down significantly, as someone – who frankly – has never bought into the high definition craze.</p>
<p><em>Back to<a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/#TOC"> Table of Contents</a></em></p>
<h2>Medical Legislation</h2>
<p>The Coronavirus has revealed just how vulnerable our medical system is to supply shortages. Medical masks, ventilators, and staff shortages are a much talked about issues and I expect to see lawmakers place new requirements on medical facilities to keep larger amounts of supplies on-hand.</p>
<p>The virus has also forced lawmakers to address burdensome government regulation like state specific nursing licenses and certificates of need. Many states are slow to recognize out-of-state licenses. For example, it was just announced on March 17th that Massachusetts would recognize medical professionals and nurses licensed out-of-state  to practice in their state in this emergency situation. Georgia governor Brian Kemp has made his support clear for reforms in health care regulation, specifically in doing away with or modifying certificate of need requirements.</p>
<p>On another note, one has to wonder what sort of government regulation will be passed that directly impacts the individual. The 2019 measles outbreak was used to make the case for mandatory vaccines. Even political commentator and <em>self-professed</em> libertarian Ben Shapiro has expressed support for mandatory vaccinations (though its difficult to rationalize how mandatory medical treatment is in-line with libertarianism). Regardless it is a mainstream view held by many on the left and right side of the aisle. Considering the economic toll Coronavirus has had on the American economy and the measures lawmakers are willing to take to reduce its impact, its very plausible mandatory vaccinations are headed our way.</p>
<p><em>Back to<a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/#TOC"> Table of Contents</a></em></p>
<h2>Immigration & Foreign Policy</h2>
<p>The Coronavirus pandemic is not coming to an end any time soon. Globally, this may just be beginning. As of this writing there are still countries in south and central America that have not even had a single confirmed case. So who is to say an immigrant does not bring the virus to America in October of this year or next February and cause a whole new outbreak? As the son of an immigrant, I have nothing against them or their brave and bold decision to seek a new life in America. Legal immigration should be a much less expensive and complicated experience and immigrants are already screened for infectious diseases. However, I expect the screenings will be enhanced.</p>
<p>In regards to America’s foreign policy: it stands to reason that “Mr. Made In America”, Donald Trump will call for new incentives in American manufacturing and production. The President has remained consistent in his determination to see America lessen its reliance on foreign nations for goods and services, and considering China’s failure to even alert the world to the Coronavirus, I expect to see more “Made in America” stickers.</p>
<p><em>Back to <a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/#TOC">Table of Contents</a></em></p>
<h2>Hotel & Accomodations</h2>
<p>The hotel and accommodations industry has been sucker punched. CEO of Marriott Arne Sorenson stated on March 19th that the corporation would be pausing all corporate travel, hiring, new hotel openings, and any marketing and advertisement. Many hotels will close and those that remain open may see entire floors shut down, food and beverage areas closed, and staff reductions.</p>
<p>Where does the hotel and accommodations industry go from here? Perhaps a whole new format closer to the Airbnb way of doing things. New properties may look much more like multi-family townhomes, duplexes, or villas. A front desk check-in is no longer required if your phone can function as the key, and selling off this sort of property would perhaps be much easier then a giant multi-story 600 room hotel. What good is an asset if it can’t generate revenue and no one wants to buy it? Indeed cruise lines can sadly relate.</p>
<p><em>Back to<a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/#TOC"> Table of Contents</a></em></p>
<h2>Home Education</h2>
<p>Americans place a great level of dependence on the traditional education system. Many schools closed in early March of this year and there is a real chance they won’t open back up this school year. The Coronavirus has required many students to simply stay home. Parents are having to get creative in how they continue to educate their children this year. There is a decent chance some may enjoy homeschooling their children and decide to try it again next year. In an effort to decentralize education, some municipalities and states may look to encourage alternatives through tax breaks or vouchers. However, as homeschooling becomes more popular, regulation of home schooling may become more prevalent.</p>
<p>On the university side, many campuses have entirely closed down. Virtual university is nothing new but I expect to see a new focus by higher learning educators to encourage online courses. After all, is university such a great place? <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="According to Rainn.org (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.rainn.org/statistics/campus-sexual-violence" target="_blank">According to Rainn.org</a> 11.2% of all students experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence, or incapacitation (among all graduate and undergraduate students). Again per RAINN, male college-aged students (18-24) are 78% more likely than non-students of the same age to be a victim of rape or sexual assault. Countless campus scandals from Evergreen State College to UC Berkeley have left some wondering if in-person higher learning is really worth its price tag.</p>

<h2>Automation</h2>
<p>It is impossible to know the true mortality rate of the Coronavirus in America because so many of those infected will never be tested. Imagine if the Coronavirus would have spread faster and had been a much more crippling or deadly disease to a wider range of people. If our farmers, truck drivers, and those in food processing were infected and simply too ill to work, our nation could have starved.</p>
<p>Automation’s impact in society is a genuine concern by many and is the fundamental rationale for former Democratic candidate for president Andrew Yang’s Universal Basic Income proposal. However, automation may be what keeps food on the shelves during the next viral outbreak. I expect to see grocery stores that may have never seriously considered self-checkout bring the technology in-store and self-driving trucks to be a not-so-distant reality.</p>
<p><em>Back to <a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/#TOC">Table of Contents</a></em></p>
<h2>Online Voting</h2>
<p>The 2020 election has thus far been a disaster. The Democratic Iowa caucus was an abomination, there have been reports of Russia meddling in the nomination process, and Michael Bloomberg’s attempt to buy the election (among other issues) has already brought the election’s integrity into question. Now with entire states shutting down, too many voters have been discouraged from making their voices heard.</p>
<p>An obvious response here is municipalities and states embracing online voting. Online voting has its concerns, including privacy and accuracy, but it seems clear we cannot rely on the traditional model any longer.</p>
<p><em>Back to <a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/#TOC">Table of Contents</a></em></p>
<h2>Increased Tax Rates</h2>
<p>Donald Trump’s <em>Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017</em> was a major victory for Republicans and the President. It, along with regulation cutting, appears to have helped the economy – it certainly didn’t hurt. That said, before the virus, the federal government was running a $1 trillion deficit. That deficit would have been unimaginable 20 years ago. Any honest Republican would tell you they were happy for the tax cuts, but spending must be reigned in or the nation will be in trouble. In the middle of this pandemic, the federal government and its many departments and agencies feel as though they have a blank check and spending will run amok. Eventually tax rates will rise with no meaningful spending cuts on the horizon.</p>
<p>A hopeful prediction would be that Donald Trump and Congress will finally see the need to balance the budget and start paying down the debt. Imagine an America that in a time of crisis can afford to incur some debt without concern. But that’s no prediction, that’s a libertarian fantasy under the current regime.</p>

<h2>Share Your Happy Moments</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">We all need some good news right now. Every single one of us. Even for the most privileged among us – those who still have jobs, have remained healthy, have plenty of food, etc. – these are stressful times. The constant barrage of updates on the COVID-19 pandemic has absolutely swelled and overwhelmed every other story in the world. Even the presidential election has been lowered to a distant second-place in the media.</p>
<p>Coronavirus is everywhere and it often seems like it’s everything.</p>
<p>Our newsfeeds and dashboards are filled with almost entirely bad news, and that’s exactly why it’s important to post your happy moments. People need to see that there are still happy things happening all over the place everyday, that there are reprieves from the stress and anxiety. In times like these, it’s important for you to find ways to enjoy yourself and relax, and it’s also important that you share these moments.</p>
<p>For example, I started working on my summer garden yesterday. I had a great time preparing the soil, starting the seeds, and planning my planting. It was a beautiful afternoon that made me feel better, so I thought it might make someone else feel better as well.</p>
<figure class="wp-block-embed-facebook wp-block-embed is-type-rich">
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<post href="https://www.facebook.com/100005528891734/posts/1271633393030945/?d=n" data-width="552"></post></div>
</figure>
<p>So please, by all means:</p>
<p>Post that picture of your puppy<br />
Show off the pancakes you made<br />
Celebrate your spring cleaning<br />
Share the funny meme you just saw<br />
Talk about the book you just finished<br />
Retweet that heartwarming video<br />
Post to your friends about missing them and happy memories<br />
Talk about what you’re grateful for</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">An interesting consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic has been that many critics of social media have had to reevaluate their view of it. Critics who have (reasonably) argued that Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram make us more distant from each other, strangely more disconnected and jealous and hateful, now have little choice but to concede that these platforms are giving their users an incredibly important way of staying socially and emotionally healthy while maintaining a practice of social distancing.</p>
<p>But that case will quickly fall apart if social media becomes completely overwhelmed by depressing news of the economy and plague.</p>
<p>Please, share your happy moments.</p>

<h2>Sheltering the Homeless</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">The homeless are already an extremely at-risk demographic for this plague. Many have compromised immune systems. Many have other pre-existing conditions.  Due to warrants, mental health issues, drug-use, and lack of resources, many will not seek treatment even if they begin to show symptoms of the virus. Homeless individuals also spend a surprising amount of time in dense groups – “homeless camps” are often densely packed areas by necessity, and time spent in transit stations and other public areas results in a an increased risk of exposure.</p>
<p>Additionally, many homeless individuals with jobs are losing them at a rate higher than the rest of us. Working banquets or as kitchen staff at restaurants are both extremely common jobs for this group of people, but those have quickly dried-up. And for those who still have jobs, the shutdown of public transit has made getting to and from work near-impossible.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">On top of all of this, a huge share of the homeless shelters these members of our communities rely on are shutting down. Many parts of the country have put restrictions on gatherings of more than 10 people, which means that even the shelters that are remaining open can only shelter 8 or 9 homeless (plus 1 or 2 volunteers) rather than 40, 50, 60+ homeless individuals.</p>
<p>Thankfully, the coronavirus pandemic began raging through most of America after the bitterly-cold months of winter had passed, and that will make the next few weeks or months more tolerable for the homeless members of our communities. But there are still going to be nights below-freezing, weeks of down pour, and in some areas even snow.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">In our effort to practice social-distancing, we cannot let our communities forget our homeless brothers and sisters. So what can we do about this?</p>
<p>Those of us who are people of faith can work with our community leaders to set up our churches, temples, mosques, synagogues, etc. as temporary homeless shelters on below-freezing nights.</p>
<p>We can petition our county and municipal governments to (at least) temporarily ease up on the permits required to operate these shelters.</p>
<p>We can continue to donate food and clothing to local organizations that gather and distribute supplies to the homless and impoverished.</p>
<p>We can help our newly out-of-work neighbors with rent, bills, groceries, etc. to ensure that the homeless population doesn’t increase.</p>
<p>There are surly countless other ways to help address this issue, and if you have more ideas I’d love to hear them.</p>

<h2>Help Recovering Addicts Stay Sober</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">As many public and open-to-the-public spaces continue to be shut down, Alcoholics Anonymous (and similar groups) will struggle to find meeting locations. This will be especially hard on groups that are comprised of more than ten people. The idea of having online meetings will be insufficient for many: many AA members are experiencing homelessness and often lack internet-access, especially with libraries being closed. Besides, meeting online surely does not nurture the same feelings of solidarity and support as in-person meetings.</p>
<p>Add the lack of meetings available to the increasingly-worse economy and social isolation, and we are set up for an explosion of relapses.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">If you have friends or know someone struggling with alcoholism or substance abuse who relies on programs like AA, you can help them maintain their sobriety through this time.</p>
<p>Call or text them, check in on them somehow. Ask how their doing, hold them accountable, show that you care.</p>

<p><strong><em>The following is a guest submission from Casey Callison.</em></strong></p>
<h2>Supporting Local Musicians</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">It’s no secret that the food industry is struggling right now. In many cities and states there are requirements that forbid dine-in eating. This has been causing a lot of issues with restaurants not able to get the customers they need to keep their doors open, which has led to the layoff (some temporary, some not) of too many wait staff and cooks to count. What’s not being talked about are the musicians that are also adversely affected by the shutdowns.</p>
<p>Many musicians – whether it be local or world-renowned – are being hurt because of gathering limits and restaurant/bar closures. Every single touring musician I’ve been following has had to cancel tour dates and lay off their road crews because of it. The arenas and venues can’t pay the staff that would normally work those shows. Locally based musicians can’t get gigs in the bars and restaurants they normally call home, and nobody is out to tip the buskers who play their hearts out on the street corners for tips.</p>
<p>However, the silver lining is that people have found creative ways in order to combat the suppression of art that’s happening during the self-quarantines. People like Neil Young, Marcus King, and Willie Nelson are playing shows that are being streamed live to Facebook and YouTube. Here in Springfield, Missouri, a local music shop (<a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Springfield Music (opens in a new tab)" href="https://springfield-music.com/" target="_blank">Springfield Music</a>) is doing a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.facebook.com/SpfldMusic/videos/143950760288174/" target="_blank">local artist spotlight</a> where they bring in a local artist to play for a while and provide a virtual way for viewers to tip, if they feel so inclined.</p>
<p>I spoke with Jake English, of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.facebook.com/HOLDINGENGLISHMUSIC/" target="_blank">Holding English</a> and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.facebook.com/therosyhips/" target="_blank">The Rosy Hips</a>:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>The timing of this virus is especially bad because we just made it through winter, which is slow for shows, and gigs were about to start ramping back up. Savings that were made through spring and summer gigs are starting to run out for a lot of us. There have already been a lot of gig cancellations – like last night we had a gig cancelled due to the situation.</p></blockquote>
<p>(Follow them on Facebook for news of live stream events. You will NOT be disappointed.)</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">So check in with your local bands. Follow them on Facebook. Watch their live streams. Send tips if you’re able. They’re working hard to provide a light in our world that cannot be replaced. They pour their hearts and souls into their work every single day, not just when we see them on stage. They deserve a good living just like anyone else because this world would suck without art.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each of us is used to being bribed. It’s not as directly as when members of Congress accept bribes but it is quite real. Let’s start with the bribery we’re both familiar with.</p>
<p>I’ll be blunt, whenever a Republican and Democrat square off for the presidency, while I will likely vote for the libertarian, anybody else, or nobody at all, I actually do have a personal favorite between the two. One that I hope wins in spite of how much I dislike them both. It’s an easy choice. The Republicans usually cut my taxes by almost half, between the tax on my business and then the following income tax. They usually have rhetoric that, as a straight, white, Christian, male, make me feel comfortable. Democrats, conversely, have actually targeted me during tax time. A Democrat in office took away my health care coverage. They make me feel awful for being a straight, white, Christian, male.</p>
<p>I’m being bribed. I make imagination that Republicans actually care about me more than Democrats, in fact, outside of politics, I’m treated pretty equally by everybody. But they know that people like me suffer when Democrats are in charge and prosper when Republicans are in charge (alright, let’s not give them TOO much credit, let’s say suffer LESS when they are in charge).</p>
<p>But the Democrats have their bribes, too. The health care that was taken from me was given to their ilk. The tax money taken from me was given to their brood. They are bribing their people with my wallet and my freedom. Just like my side does to them. It’s just a giant see-saw, we’re all taking turns on which one’s tribe suffers. So why, then, am I not a Republican, pushing for my side, trying to get the maximum amount of time in the power position on this back-and-forth?</p>
<p>Because it’s still bribery. I can’t, in good conscience, rejoice in my tax cut when I know so many others suffer because of Republican policies. I can’t strut around happy to be a straight, white, Christian, male when I know so many others are hurting due to being non-straight, non-white, non-Christian, and non-male. My good fortune is coming at the expense of others. And that’s not fortune at all, it’s just theft.</p>
<p>That takes us to the coronavirus. The bribery has not stopped. Various bailout plans have come before the Senate, all of which hurt someone and help someone else. $1.5 trillion to help stock brokers, taken out against our children. $1 trillion to the poor, at the expense of small businesses. $800 billion to the unemployed, paid for by inflation against the cost of all consumer goods. Some of these plans help me. Some of these plans hurt me. But all of these plans hurt someone.</p>
<p>Congress is engaged in debates right now, arguing about who should pay and who should receive. Like true politicians, the considerations are rarely about who needs the most help, but who will be the largest voting bloc. “Who’s the easiest to bribe? Pay them from the pockets of those who are the most difficult to bribe.”</p>
<p>The elderly are scared. Those with compromised immune systems are scared. The unemployed are scared. The business owners are scared. Drowning men grasp at straws. I don’t blame anyone for wanting or, in most cases, desperately needing a bribe right now. But there’s no reason drowning men should be drowning one another to reach these straws. Solutions need not come at the burden of others.</p>
<p>When you speak to your family, remember ALL of those who are hurting. If you find yourself trying to triage the situation, dictating who should be the focus and who should fall by the wayside, you’ve been brainwashed into speaking like a politician, ready to rob Peter to pay Paul if Paul suits his agenda better than Peter. If you think everyone should quarantine for several months, what will you do to help those who live paycheck-to-paycheck and, if you print money, how will you justify that to the children who must pay it back? If you think everyone should carry on as usual, what will you say to those newborns with compromised immune systems or the elderly who have not had time to prepare for complete withdraw from a world that moves on without them?</p>
<p>I am glad I stopped taking bribes, now more than ever. It’s easy to look at some of these bills and cheer them on, knowing they benefit me. But that’s why bribery is evil; I’m not supposed to ask where the money came from, so long as it lands in my pocket. If you’re ever going to stop being a pawn, you simply have to start thinking about others. You can and should still stand up for yourself. Paying a bribe is as evil as receiving a bribe. But evil means lead to evil ends, especially in government. It takes some creative thinking that corporations, the media, and politicians are unable, or, more accurately, unwilling, to do. But we’ve already seen the markets find these solutions during this crisis, they just require your help and support. They might not be offering you someone else’s money, like the Republicans and Democrats are undoubtedly doing right now, but they’ll offer you something even better; a ticket off of the bribery train. And that freedom is worth a lot more than any money you could take from your neighbors.</p>

<h2>Spread Helpful Tips and Information</h2>
<p class="has-drop-cap">This is one of the easiest ways we can help each other during this time of social-distancing and pandemic.

By sharing helpful tips and useful information with each other, we can help our friends, families, and communities at virtually zero cost to ourselves.</p>
<p>If you go grocery shopping and notice that a store has a large stock of toilet paper, eye contact solution, rice, bread, any item that is experiencing shortages, let your family and friends now. (Or, better yet, offer to pick some up for them if you’re able to.)</p>

<p>If you discover a great recipe that involves common pantry items that most people will have, share the recipe with others so they can enjoy it too.</p>
<p>If you see a social media post (from a credible source, of course) describing how to tell the difference between COVID-19, common cold, and seasonal flu symptoms, share it so that others will know the difference too.</p>
<p>If you know of a restaurant offering special discounts, free delivery, etc., let other people know</p>
<p>If you find a wonderful new author to read or website to browse and learn from, spread the word.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">The possibilities for this are truly endless. We’ll run across certain special pieces of knowledge of the next few weeks, and we can do the most good by doing our part to make sure that as many of these pieces as possible are put together.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>James Czerniawski is a contributor with Young Voices. You can follow him on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/JamesCz19">@JamesCz19</a></em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Ajit Pai, has been making a concerted effort to drive the United States forward in the deployment of 5G networks around the country. That’s great, because 5G is the next step in expanding our communications technology, enabling faster internet speeds and empowering advancement in a wide array of technologies. It’s <a href="https://www.techrepublic.com/article/5g-tech-expected-to-contribute-2-2-trillion-to-global-economy-by-2034/">projected</a> that 5G will “contribute almost $2.2 trillion to the global economy between 2024 and 2034,” so it makes sense that Chairman Pai wants to capitalize on that opportunity. Recently, he put forth a <a href="https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-seeks-promote-innovation-59-ghz-band-0">proposal</a> that would free up broadband for companies to implement 5G technologies. <br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the country is in the race to 5G against other countries, most notably China, freeing up broadband that was being limited in use is definitely a key way to expedite that process. An important thing to note is that the FCC is taking a relatively hands-off approach in trying to spur innovation and growth in the race to 5G. By allowing for partially unlicensed use of spectrum, companies can experiment with different kinds of ideas and products that they otherwise would not be able to. <br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Chairman’s proposal would put us on a path to a 5G future, where a variety of next-generation tech — like <a href="https://www.govtech.com/fs/infrastructure/5G-Can-Enable-Smart-Cities-If-Policymakers-Allow-It.html">smart cities</a> and <a href="https://www.pcr-online.biz/2019/08/16/how-5g-will-boost-the-smart-home-market/">homes — could become a normal part of everyday life</a>. It could also bring us one step closer to a country whose roads are only driven by fully <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/why-5g-is-a-crucial-technology-for-autonomous-vehicles/">autonomous vehicles</a>. <br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Smart cities are a great example not only of how 5G innovation benefits the private sector, but also the public sector. It can empower cities to be much more efficient. For example, 5G tech can help with the reduction of wasteful spending. Smart-city tech is driving more accurate <a href="https://www.smartcitiesworld.net/opinions/opinions/what-5g-means-for-smart-cities">waste management</a> programs, water metering and environmental monitoring, which can save cities money. And for residents, one of the great benefits of smart cities lies in the improved infrastructure to monitor traffic, which map-based applications rely on to plan routes. More accurate and efficient routing can improve the quality of life for people who spend an average of <a href="https://www.thecarconnection.com/news/1122782_study-americans-spend-18-days-in-their-car-per-year-forge-close-bonds-with-a-vehicle">8 hours</a> every week in their cars.<br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The expansion of 5G would also unleash further innovation in smart-home tech. One of the chief benefits from having a smart home is the ability to manage multiple appliances and functions from a central hub. By improving the <a href="https://www.instanttechnews.com/news/2020/02/21/smart-homes-m2m-market-latest-innovations-drivers-and-industry-key-events-2023/">machine to machine</a> (M2M) technology that drives smart-home communications, homeowners can experience increased control over their home, and greater efficiency of utility management, like water and electricity. A projected <a href="https://www.instanttechnews.com/news/2020/02/21/smart-homes-m2m-market-latest-innovations-drivers-and-industry-key-events-2023/">46 million</a> homes in the United States will be empowered with smart home technologies by the end of 2020, making the impact of developments in this space hard to overstate. This can also lead to <a href="https://www.safewise.com/faq/home-automation/home-automation-benefits/">savings</a> for many families. Indeed, an expansion of 5G will allow companies to invest in the automation of homes further, dropping the price of home automation systems from as high as <a href="https://www.nbcpa.us/2018/10/smart-home-technology-worth-incorporating-next-build/">$3,500</a> closer to <a href="https://www.nbcpa.us/2018/10/smart-home-technology-worth-incorporating-next-build/">$1,000</a>.<br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And let’s not forget the auto industry. Autonomous vehicles are the future, and expanded 5G will get us there <a href="https://www.itp.net/91563-5g-will-fuel-the-driverless-experience">faster</a>. And as more autonomous cars hit the roads, it will likely <a href="https://roadsafetyfacts.eu/how-can-automated-and-connected-vehicles-improve-road-safety/">improve road safety</a>, putting a significant dent into the tragic <a href="https://www.nsc.org/road-safety/safety-topics/fatality-estimateshttps://www.nsc.org/road-safety/safety-topics/fatality-estimates">38,800 deaths</a> on the road that happened in the U.S. last year alone — over <a href="https://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/2016-nhtsa-fatality-report/">90%</a> of which are deemed to be caused by human error. Our <a href="https://www.iotworldtoday.com/2019/10/23/5-autonomous-vehicle-technology-uses-in-shipping-and-logistics/">shipping</a> network would fundamentally change, too, with goods being transported at a faster pace than ever before. <br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the race to 5G, it’s important for government regulators like the FCC to continue fostering an environment that allows for innovation that pushes boundaries. If lawmakers try to over-regulate out of fear of the unknown or a desire for control, then the country will quickly fall behind in the advancement of tech that helps <em>millions</em> of Americans. It was only recently that the United States regained its place in the <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/us-regains-place-in-top-5-of-worlds-most-innovative-economies-2019-07-24">top five</a> most innovative countries, and so it’s paramount that the country strives to retain this status and always search for opportunities to improve. Chairman Pai understands this, which is why his efforts are so encouraging.<br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The FCC, under Chairman Pai, envisions a future where all industries are beneficiaries of 5G deployment around the country. He has transformed the FCC into a forward-thinking regulator, offering a glimpse at a future ripe for tremendous technological advancement.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I walked into work this morning with birds singing on a sunny morning and flowers sprouting near the patio. It is an odd juxtaposition to experience a beautiful spring day in the middle of a pandemic where feelings of anxiety and grief are creeping in.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The same can be said about the news. Hospital officials are scrambling to prepare for the worst-case scenario and within days or weeks, they will know if we face a Cat 1 or Cat 5 biological hurricane. If you can help sew masks, then please do this to help your local healthcare system. <a href="https://www.cleveland19.com/2020/03/20/indiana-hospital-is-asking-public-sew-face-masks/">Here is a guide</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through the news, signs of hope are emerging. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Between warmer weather, the incredible efforts from the <a href="https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/bayer-preps-u-s-donation-malaria-med-chloroquine-to-help-covid-19-fight-report">medical</a>, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/19/business/ford-gm-ventilators-coronavirus/index.html">manufacturing</a>, and <a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/news/health/2020/03/18/eli-lilly-offer-free-coronavirus-testing-indiana/2869930001/">pharmaceutical sectors</a>, and social distancing and quarantines, it is my hope that we will be spared the fate of Italy and China. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Within the week, massive amounts of testing will be in our local areas for free which means we can just isolate those with COVID-19 and begin getting back to work. When we have really good news like a drug that stops it or full testing across the country, we will open back up and the markets will pop. People will go back to work and the economy will resume. Hang tight and be hopeful. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When this is over, the leaders through this crisis will be the big and small businesses and their employees (us) that sacrificed a lot financially to make this shorter and less deadly within America. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the flip side, it is disappointing that it has to threaten America before our private industries will go to the extreme to save the lives of humans. That being said, Lilly, GM, Tesla, and the private labs currently working around the clock to build tests, drugs, and ventilators to flatten the curve are full of heroic individuals trying to build capacity. Shutdowns to this magnitude wouldn’t have been necessary if we had done this a lot sooner, and that falls on the government sector due to their dysfunction and inability to lead. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Big things can happen when the human race applies its varied expertise to a single problem through peaceful and voluntary cooperation. The message from this ought to be clear: Organizing society through government does not help, it makes things worse, and we can do better without it.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="has-drop-cap">Today I finished (thanks to my abundant reading time provided by COVID-19) Sam Anderson’s premier book, <em>Boom Town: The Fantastical Saga of Oklahoma City, its Chaotic Founding, its Apocalyptic Weather, its Purloined Basketball Team, and the Dream of Becoming a World-Class Metropolis</em>. (Don’t worry, I’ll just refer to it as <em>Boom Town</em> from here on.)</p>
<p>Before I started this book, I would never have thought that the words “fantastical saga” could ever be used to describe Oklahoma City (OKC). Within the first five pages though, I realized that the crown jewel of America’s reddest state had existed a truly fantastical saga thus far. Anderson’s journey through OKC’s history and culture is a startlingly pleasurable and interesting ride – the mundane become magical, meteorologists become wizards, washed-up pop stars become civic heroes, and the Houston Rockets become abominable villains.</p>

<p class="has-drop-cap"><em>Boom Town</em> tells the story of OKC through several main lenses. There is OKC through the lens of its NBA team, the Thunder (primarily the dominant 2011-2014 Thunder). There is OKC through the lens of its oligarchs and Chamber of Commerce throughout the decades. There is OKC through the lens of civil rights leader Clara Luper and the “east side”. There is OKC through the lens of <em>The Flaming Lips</em> frontman, Wayne Coyne. There is OKC through the lens of weatherman-extraordinaire, Gary England.</p>
<p>Anderson melds all these different OKCs together into a portrait of a city and people that desperately wants to be more than they are. They truly embody the Thunder’s motto: “Fighting for tomorrow, today”. The city was founded on a gamble, and has continued gambling with its future for more than a century. <em>Boom Town</em> is the story of a minor city that wants more than anything to be a major city (or at least, <em>the </em>minor city, <em>America’s </em>minor city), and it will do anything and take any risks to get there.</p>
<p>The story of OKC is equal parts a blueprint and a warning for other minor and/or up-and-coming cities across America. There are dozens of stories of risks that paid of tremendously (fighting to become the state capital, for example), dozens of stories of risks that failed (the great expansion, for example), and dozens of stories of risks that have yet to pan out one way or the other (the trading of James Harden to the Rockets, for example).</p>
<p>More than anything, <em>Boom Town</em> shows the severe and long-lasting impact that individuals can have on their community. One person, with enough brains, grit, planning, or dumb luck can shape the destiny of a whole city without even realizing it. I’m looking at you, Mayor Couch.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p class="has-drop-cap">Perhaps the biggest praise I can give <em>Boom Town</em> is that it made me – someone who has never watched an NBA game, never played basketball, never cared about it all – deeply interested in the OKC Thunder. Those sections of the book, describing the triumvirate that Harden, Durant, and Westbrook were, were by far some of my favorite portions of this  just-over-400-pages read.</p>
<p>Since starting Boom Town, I’ve watched scores of clips from 2012 and 2013 Thunder games. I’ve read articles about Durant and Westrbrook’s compatibility (or lack thereof). I’ve watched slideshows showing the progression of the mythical Harden beard.</p>
<p>If that is not a testament as to the excellence of Anderson’s writing, then I don’t know what is.</p>

<p>Over 4,000 blood donation drives have been canceled and the blood supply is critically low across the country. Surgery and emergency patients are greatly at risk due to this, and they are calling for volunteers to help work virtually to arrange drives. They will keep everyone safe during a drive as well. COVID-19 does NOT spread through the blood. They desperately need blood drives organized in every community around the country. They will also need help responding during the approaching tornado season. Visit <a href="http://redcross.org/" rel="nofollow">http://redcross.org/</a> to donate or to organize a blood drive.</p>

<p>In the coming months, many industries – white and blue collar – will be hurt severely by the economic fallout of COVID-19. One of the industries that is already feeling the pain of this pandemic is the food and drink industry – restaurants, breweries, food trucks, bars, etc.</p>
<p>Many states and cities are ordering the closure of these establishments. Even in areas where they remain open, a large majority of customers are going to stay away. This has already resulted in large numbers of food-industry workers being left temporarily unemployed and laid-off.</p>
<p>Small, locally-owned restaurants will be especially hurt by this. One way we can all help alleviate their pain while still practicing social-distancing is to find out which restaurants/bars/etc. in your area are remaining open and providing curb-side pickup or delivery service. Many cities, newspapers, magazines, and community websites are already making lists of these places to help you do this. If not though, it’s as easy as a Facebook post asking your friends if they know of any. Check out mine from earlier today:</p>
<p>Obviously you don’t have to eat out every day. But personally I’m going to try to purchase from some of these establishments once or twice a week.</p>
<p>It’s critical to keep yourself safe and healthy during all this, bu it’s just as critical to do the same for your community. Here’s one way we can all do just that.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Conner Drigotas is the Director of Communications at a national law firm and is a Young Voices contributor.</em><br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The financial strength of a nation is like an ocean tide — it ebbs and it flows. The tide had been rushing in for a while now, but the COVID-19 pandemic is poised to upend all that progress, already sending <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/15/traders-await-futures-open-after-fed-cuts-rates-launches-easing-program.html">stocks plummeting</a> amid uncertainty and fear. As a recession seems inevitable, how will states fare? The picture for many, unfortunately, is bleak. According to <a href="https://www.moodysanalytics.com/-/media/article/2019/stress-testing-states-2019.pdf">Moody’s Analytics</a>, 20% of states would struggle to make ends meet in even just a moderate recession.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Planning for the worst, then, is just common sense. Given the sweeping impact the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have, states lacking adequate funds to weather recessions should cut costs <em>now</em>. Cutting — or cutting back on — unnecessary programs would be a quick way to free up money to bolster necessary services and put states — and more importantly, citizens — in a better position to ride out the storm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unnecessary government programs typically fall into two categories: those better provided by the private sector, and those the government shouldn’t be involved in to begin with. Programs and services better provided by the private sector are those that private firms can offer at a lower cost, or perform more efficiently. Fortunately, this is already happening. Simple problems like potholes are being fixed by<a href="https://www.pavingforpizza.com/"> pizza companies</a>, if you can believe it. And more complex problems like air quality are being addressed by massive corporations like<a href="https://s2.q4cdn.com/056532643/files/doc_downloads/ESG/WAL-071_2018_GRR_Full_Book%5B1%5D.pdf"> WalMart</a>. Like has happened in these cases, companies can do well by doing good. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This philosophy, dubbed “<a href="https://hbr.org/2011/01/the-big-idea-creating-shared-value">Creating Shared Value</a>” by Harvard Business Professor Michael Porter, reduces the strain on government and strengthens the economy by providing mutual benefit for citizens, industry, and governance. Empowering communities and localizing authority can help promote stability and better service delivery for citizens. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Advocates of bad programs have argued for higher taxes to maintain them, but states can’t tax their way to prosperity. And raising taxes exacerbates the problem both leading up to and during a recession.  For example, higher-taxed states<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-top-10-states-people-are-moving-out-of-us-2019-5"> lose more people</a> to outward migration. Those who remain are left with an unsustainable system. Indeed, Moody’s report specifically calls out high-tax states, <a href="https://www.moodysanalytics.com/-/media/article/2019/stress-testing-states-2019.pdf">saying</a>: “states that rely the most on commodities and very progressive income taxes experience the most potential stress.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Smart financial planning is a proactive and preventative measure. Lesser risk of credit downgrades could prevent a slide into a major recession and help protect poor and vulnerable Americans. Because during recessions, states will take on extra debt, raise taxes, and otherwise risk long-term financial stability. Too, the quality of services may decrease as the financial pressure builds. Those kinds of decisions compound a recession’s negative effects and contribute to greater ones.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nevertheless, governors and state legislators continue to push for expansion of their pet programs. Governing bodies rarely give up power, even when the results for citizens could be better and more cost efficient. Times have been good, but the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to do <a href="https://fortune.com/2020/03/16/coronavirus-stock-market-predictions-goldman-sachs-sp-500-dow-jones-investing-2020/">significant damage</a> to our economy — and indeed already has in <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/stock-markets-erase-nearly-all-gains-since-trump-inauguration">many states</a>. Protecting people, then, means providing stable and reliable services that add value without increasing risk. Responsible governance in at-risk states requires cutting back on unneeded programs before payment on the bill is due. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If Bernie Sander does not drop out of the presidential race now, he needs to at least stop lying about his intentions. He’s no longer running to win, but rather, just to hurt Joe Biden. And he’s putting the health of voters and the country at risk to do it.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>After Super Tuesday, Bernie’s campaign was mortally wounded. After the following Tuesday (when Bernie lost both Michigan and Washington) his campaign was on life-support. After yesterday’s elections, it’s dead.</p>
<p>At this point, Bernie wasn’t really expected to win Illinois, and he certainly had no hope of winning Florida. But losing Arizona doesn’t just hurt Bernie, it kills him. His campaign has been limping on for the past two weeks based on two key claims:</p>
<ul>
<li>He can secure enough delegates to either have plurality and/or prevent Biden from having a majority</li>
<li>He wins with young voters, Hispanics, and working-class Whites</li>
</ul>
<p>The first claim became apparently-false by last week. And as far as the second claim goes, Biden has thoroughly stolen the working-class Whites block from Bernie and he’s been slowly-but-surly chipping away at the youth vote. Yesterday’s election in Arizona proved that Bernie has lost the Hispanic block as well, with Biden handily winning the state and exit polls showing him slightly more of the Hispanic vote than Bernie.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>Bernie no longer has any path at all (short of Biden suffering a medical trauma) to the nomination. He barely has a path to breach 1,000 delegates total. He’s done for, and every second he stays in the campaign hinders Biden’s ability to pivot towards facing Trump in the general.</p>
<p>Now, personally I don’t have a problem with Bernie staying in and attacking Bide from the rear. But he needs to stop lying to his supporters about his intentions. He needs to be straight and just admit that his campaign at this point is little more than a vanity project meant to spite the inevitable juggernaut that was Joe Biden’s primary campaign.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>Given the pandemic that many in the United States are desperately trying to alleviate through social distancing, Bernie needs to also be realistic about what continuing to encourage millions to come out to densely-crowed polling places for the next three months could cost the nation’s health.</p>
<p>It seems terribly irresponsible to me for Bernie to continue to do this. He can’t win and to still call for the exact opposite of social distancing in light of that is psychotically negligent. It’s in the country’s best interest that the Democrats shut down their already-over primary as soon as possible.</p>
<p>Not only would Bernie be hurting Biden’s already uncomfortably-slim chances of defeating Trump by continuing to campaign, but he would also be incredibly selfish to so in the shadow of COVID-19.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>(The following contains spoilers for the show <em>House of Cards</em>.)</h4>
<p>I am a huge fan of Netflix’s <em>House of Cards</em> (minus that last season – we don’t talk about that here). For anyone who watched the show, one of the arcs that must stand out the most is the hotly contested-election between the incumbent South Carolina Democrat, President Underwood, and the Republican challenger from New York, Governor Conway. This election was set in the year 2016 and took place in Season 5 of the show.</p>
<p>To put it simply, the <em>House of Cards</em> 2016 election made our real 2016 election look like an incredibly boring, run-of-the-mill exercise in well-oiled democracy.</p>
<p>Underwood fostered fears of terrorist attacks and bio-weapons to centralize, disrupt, and discourage voting. He strained the electoral systems of many states to their breaking points so that several governors and state election boards were unable to certify the results, leading to a months-long constitutional crisis, from which he ultimately rose as the victor.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator" />
<p>Now, I do not think that President Trump has nearly enough political acumen to pull something so Machiavellian off (though some of his surrogates might). But I still think there is a lesson to be learned from the fictional <em>House of Cards</em> election. There are warnings to heed.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator" />
<p>Consider today’s scheduled Democratic Primary election in Ohio. It cancelled by the governor, then un-cancelled by a judge, and then re-cancelled again (more forcefully) by the governor. For the poll workers, election officials, and voters it was chaos.</p>
<p>(I wrote yesterday about this <a href="https://hereticjournal.home.blog/2020/03/17/a-clash-of-democratic-ideals/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="conflict between public safety and reliable elections (opens in a new tab)">conflict between public safety and reliable elections</a>.)</p>
<p>But let’s say that there wasn’t this confusion and Ohio elections weren’t cancelled: the COVID-19 pandemic alone causes enough strain on the integrity of today’s elections. Keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of volunteer poll-workers are elderly retirees – surly it’s not in their health’s interest to help at the polls today? Think about the many thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of voters who would be discouraged from turning out today to vote. Think about how the closure of polling places in many locations (due to their proximity to particularly vulnerable people) causes an inadvertent centralization of voting locations and voter suppression?</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator" />
<p>Let’s say that – as many experts have warned – the COVID-19 pandemic fades in the Summer but resurges worse than it is now in late Fall and Winter (right around the November election).</p>
<p>Apply all the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic that I laid out in the previous paragraphs (and the many I certainly didn’t mention) and apply to them the hotly contested November general election between Biden and Trump.</p>
<p>Is it not plausible to think that – given all these COVID-19 considerations – chaos could overwhelm and break America’s already untrusted and fragile electoral process? Is it absurd to think that some states might not certify results? Is it ridiculous to imagine Democratic swing-state governors and secretary of states refusing to certify results to deny Trump a clear victory?</p>
<p>Is it absurd to think that a President who fancies himself a king might even postpone the election if it was looking like his defeat was likely?</p>
<p>And then postpone it again?</p>
<p>And maybe even again?</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator" />
<p>An obvious solution to this problem would be online and mail-in voting. But the reality is that America does not have that sort of electoral infrastructure, either at the state or Federal level. And the amount of legislation that would go into making that take effect – again, both at the state and Federal level – would need to be passed soon in order to change that. Aside from those concerns, both of those alternatives provide nefarious actors even more opportunities to sew hijinks in the process and leave more opportunities for incompetence to disrupt results (see the 2020 Iowa Caucuses).</p>
<p>No, the unfortunate truth is that America’s 2020 election could easily turn into a completely illegitimate, easily-hijacked, easily-manipulated sham of a procedure. Is it a certainty? Of course not. Is it a plausibility that should not be dismissed? I think so.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The timing of the coronavirus pandemic during the middle of the Democratic Primary raises an important question that all small-d democrats probably wished they would never face – which democratic ideal is more important: reliable and trustworthy elections, or a communal ethic promoting the general welfare.</p>
<p>Most of the time, a democrat (again, small-d) would argue that the two go hand-in-hand. However, with the social distancing and self-quarantining needed now to prevent this pandemic from being absolutely catastrophic, that’s no longer the case.</p>
<p>The governor of Ohio has tried to postpone his state’s primary election, proposing it be moved from March 17 to sometime in June. The governor claims that it would pose to great a danger to voters to have them gathering in large masses at polling stations. An Ohio judge has blocked that proposal though, stating that moving the election so last-minute would set a dangerous precedent of executives interfering in elections.</p>
<p>I can’t say that either of them wrong, and I’m glad it’s not my choice.</p>
<p>In this age of Trumpism and ever-growing oligarchy, coronavirus is yet another force testing democratic ideals and institutions to their limits.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw this brief passage being shared around by some of my friends on social media today, and loved it. I haven’t been able to confirm an original source for it yet, but I wanted to share it still:</p>
<p class="has-text-color has-background has-drop-cap has-black-color has-light-gray-background-color">And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.</p>
<p class="has-text-color has-background has-black-color has-light-gray-background-color">And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal.</p>
<p class="has-background has-light-gray-background-color">And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed.</p>
<p><em>(If you know who this should be attributed to, please let me know.)</em></p>
<p>I don’t want to distract from the seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic and the suffering it has and will cause. And I certainly don’t want to be mischaracterized as thinking this pandemic is ultimately a good thing. But I also, on a personal level, want to to make the best of this situation as I can.</p>
<p>I think that’s the best any of us can hope to do, really.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I know people are afraid right now because we are going through something together no one on Earth has previously dealt with. What happens next health-wise and economically (in my opinion)?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Obviously I’m not a doctor, but universally, I hear it sounds like most people will have a normal flu experience. If you’re reading this, you’re statistically ok. In people over 70, it’s a rough experience. Kids are not as affected. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The issue is that it spreads exponentially. So not 2, 4, 6, 8 cases. It’s 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc. It pops all of the sudden and that’s expected within two weeks. When that happens in an area, hospitals that are normally at 100% capacity all of the sudden see needs at something like 500% capacity. That means breathing machines (it’s a lung virus) and beds are sparse. THIS is the deadly part. Doctors are then forced to remove life support for savable patients to keep a younger or healthier person alive. That’s a horrible, yet avoidable, situation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Shortness of breath seems to be the hallmark symptom versus the normal flu or allergies. I am not saying “don’t go to the doctor and get tested.” To spare those in grave situations, get tested or seek help when you really need it. I am concerned there will be a rush to get tested due to a scratchy throat and it will make the spread worse. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If I get it, I am only seeking medical treatment if I really need it. There’s no cure and there’s nothing they can do for a mild case. There’s no need for staff resources to be used on a 36 year old healthy male with a fever. Antibiotics treat bacteria and not viruses. Taking them when you don’t need them could potentially be harmful in other ways. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The ONLY way to keep the healthcare system from being overwhelmed is through separation. A communicable disease needs community. Every single person reading this is part of the solution. Every single one of us must make a sacrifice for the good of our loved ones and our neighbors. For some that sacrifice is forgoing events we love and being bored at home. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For others, it’s going to be a much greater sacrifice. Economically, this just became a very hard year for many of the economically disadvantaged. The Federal government will float some stimulus, but with the size of our population, it’s a drop in the bucket for most. As we’ve seen with testing, the government is ill equipped to help us in serious ways. We must choose to voluntarily choose to help people in the need in the coming months. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Does that mean offering childcare for healthcare workers? Extra food for the family next door that you know is struggling? Donating extra to charities that are on the front lines but have dropping income due to tightening budgets by corporate sponsors? Looking after an elderly neighbor? Everywhere we turn, someone is going to need help in the coming weeks and months. Our souls will be enriched and our communities will be stronger by answering this call. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With talks of mandatory shut downs, there’s a lot of concern. It’s been done everywhere else, and it’s why I’ve been actively encouraging you to stay in unless you’re buying a 2-3 week cushion of goods and food to supplement your trips to the store. I believe we will see two-week quarantines at first. We are not special or immune because we are Americans. This is happening. If there are shut downs, I think grocery stores, banks, pharmacies and hospitals would stay open. You will be able to get food. You only need a cushion. You don’t need to take more than you need. Inventory unsold is often given to local food banks by companies like Walmart and Kroger. If you take too much and it rots, the people that need it the most may not get it. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Depending on the jurisdiction, we will have the ability to walk around, visit friends and family, and go to work in some cases. I think governments will start with two week time frames (within a week) and then evaluate before lifting the emergency declarations. It’s possible some levels of forced quarantine will happen for months based on my conversations. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a libertarian, I’m wildly uncomfortable with this. I also see the bars full. There couldn’t be clearer information on what not to do and many people are choosing to leave others vulnerable. It’s going to be a logical leap for local officials to use force when voluntary choices aren’t made because they don’t want to be seen doing nothing. It’s better to choose to do the right thing than to be forced into it. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is not permanent. This is not Marshall law. It’s not being welded shut in your home with tanks rolling through the streets. The military is being activated because in times of emergencies, the Guard and active duty help swamped local agencies with manual labor. They’re also planning MASH units at local hospitals to help local health care systems. If I’m wrong then you can clown me in the FEMA camps for it. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The bottom line is that this is not the end times.  This can be a great opportunity to bond with neighbors and family in a way our modern, busy lifestyle often prevents. It’s a moment to pause, rest, read, relax, volunteer, exercise and build relationships with people we often feel disconnected to. We should move past the anxiety of losing routines and embrace the chance to try some different things. Things will return to “normal” eventually.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I could write volumes about economics. Reading economics textbooks and theories has enraptured my mind and filled my spare time for the past few years. Many models come and go, but there are, undeniably, two major players on the stage today: Capitalism and Socialism. And both actors are quite dead.</p>
<p>It breaks my heart to say such a thing about either one. This title is not meant to be clickbait; it’s just true (Though I admit, I am trying to grab your attention). I can’t possibly even so much as dip a toe into either theory in a single blog, but I think I can explain why both are on a gurney and not merely on life support rather quickly.</p>
<p>Of the twenty-nine and counting economic schools of thought, capitalism is, by far, my preference thus far. I haven’t studied any that even come close, if I’m honest. Even ideas based on capitalism usually deviate in ways that make it, in my summation, much weaker. One of the reasons capitalism, in modern terms, is completely dead, might actually be the fault of its founder, Adam Smith. He never saw fit to name his “theory” since, while it had principles, it was not actually a theory at all but rather a set of observations. As the name “Wealth of Nations” indicates, the precepts are based on what practices create the most prosperity for societies, intellectually, socially, and materially.</p>
<p>While capitalism was earth-shattering for the peoples who adopted it, the words themselves quickly became lip-service. Socialists managed to name capitalism at about the same time as other capitalists named capitalism. Of course, socialists branded the name to people who were remarkably un-capitalist and they weren’t trying to be honest about it. The bad labeling lasts to this day; crony allies of politicians, sprawling corporations, and carpet baggers were all given the title of “capitalists” by those who absolutely loathed capitalism and these efforts were successful through today.</p>
<p>That being said, between the socialist intentional lies and the evildoers willing to accept the title of “capitalist,” we no longer have any existing dialogue today about actual, legitimate capitalism. Perhaps the final dagger was Keynes, who nefariously called himself a savior to capitalism all the while injecting centralized regulation and authoritarianism. After his book, “The Economic Consequences of the Peace” was produced, the Nazis embraced his vision for the economy and, sadly, the rest of the world followed suit soon after, adopting the model and income identity equation the Nazis used; not a single country does not use this model today.</p>
<p>But capitalists should have expected resistance and remained true to their roots. But the roots are completely ripped from the beautiful soil in which they were planted largely because very few remained true to Smith’s findings. How many capitalists today believe that property rights should be based on usage and not on purchase? Or believe schools should disband and teachers own their classrooms? Or insist we pay workers a percentage of profits with help from union representation? Or recommend that we dismiss borders and dissolve a country so that we can exists as markets and people? I would assume none at all, unless you follow me closely. Regardless, this thought process is dead in practice and dialogue. I would have to re-frame the entire concept of capitalism before I could even carry on a conversation about it. After so long, I might as well drop the name “capitalism” entirely and call it “Smithism” or “Hodeyism” because the ideas, I can safely assume, will be brand new and foreign to whoever I am conversing with.</p>
<p>Socialism is even less tricky to dismiss as completely eradicated. While the capitalists have been tricked into an incorrect definition of their economic model, the socialists, more or less, seem to have no idea what their model is. “What socialism means to me” followed by pretty much any statement is essentially what socialism is today. Which is a shame, because socialism, in the very name, is actually quite specific. While socialists often fought with one another, the goal was always the same: Total social equality. While this sounds like a justice or rights movement, the economic theory was more vital than either; people are treated differently if they are physically, mentally, or financially different.</p>
<p>You might do a spit take in reading that last sentence. Mentally and physically equal? Like, everyone is just as intelligent as another? This is not an exaggeration and each socialist philosopher has come up with some very fascinating ways in which, they believe, this leveling out of abilities is to be achieved. Most of them, like in the case of Proudhon or Marx, involve a ton of exile and even genocide, which is why most socialist solutions are not palatable to me, personally. I’m open to a society of people morally understanding they are giving away their rights to learn more or less than another person, but I wouldn’t join one and I would weep for the souls who did.</p>
<p>Much can be made of the usual tripe; that Venezuela and the USSR and China aren’t “real” socialism. It’s true! They were often far more forgiving and allowed for greater degrees of freedom than socialist economies call for. The USSR wasn’t even real Communism; that is to say, a specific kind of socialism where goods were produced and used in their own specific and isolated communities. These communities shared resources among each other, constituting a strict violation of Marxist credo. Yet those who say these countries aren’t actually socialist are technically saying the opposite of what they usually mean. They will explain how banning media, talking with your neighbors, non-government sanctioned romances, medicinal breakthroughs, entertainment, and choice of food were responsible for such egregious offenses against the people. They are right that these are to blame, but they fail to realize that these practices are absolutely core to socialist theory. They say it is not socialist, but if we’re to be correct, it is perfectly socialist, it’s just not what they want socialism to be.</p>
<p>Both are lost to the times. “Capital” and “Social,” even as root words, have evolved into meaning something very different from their intended purpose. “Capital” today refers to the principle part of a loan; loans were something Smith considered quite abhorrent, especially from the perspective of centralized banking. If something is “socialized” today, it means all of society pays for it to use as a public good; a direct violation of equality unless the service being socialized is distributed equally as well.</p>
<p>I enjoy discussing and researching both, for their own merits, but I make no excuses for my tragic findings. When I discuss the economics of either capitalism or socialism today I am viewed upon like a madman; like a time traveler who uses the same words but the meaning are jumbled about. But even if this is so and I’m insane, then we need to stop using either word; they have both become unrecognizable in both theory and practice. They are dead. Any successful economic movement will likely have absolutely nothing to do with the reality of capitalism or socialism. The bodies make for remarkable autopsies to study and learn from, but they are bodies nonetheless.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Steven K., a contributor to </em>Heretic<em>, recently interviewed Shane Hazel, the Libertarian Party of Georgia’s candidate for U.S. Senate. (Steven has asked that his full name not be released.)</em></p>
<p><em>The following has all been provided by Steven.</em></p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>Shane Hazel, a Georgia raised Marine Combat Veteran was nominated at the Libertarian Party of Georgia’s 2020 Convention to run for United States Senate. Hazel previously ran in 2018 for Georgia’s 7th Congressional District and since then has hosted the podcast <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="The Rebellion with Banks and Shane (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.rebellionpod.com/" target="_blank">The Rebellion with Banks and Shane</a> </em>along with political consultant, Banks Wise.</p>
<p>Libertarians should give <em>The Rebellion with Banks and Shane</em> a listen. While featured conversation topics on the show vary widely from the Anti-Federalist Papers to the war on drugs to Libertarian Party in-fighting, the show also introduces listeners to liberty minded legislators across the nation. The podcast has featured guests such as Maine’s Eric Brakey, West Virginia’s Mike Folk, Virginia’s Nick Freitas, and Georgia’s Matt Gurtler.</p>
<p>Hazel has no easy path to victory in November. He will face Republican incumbent David Perdue and the Democrat nominee in the general election. In 2014’s senate race the Libertarian received only 1.9% of the vote and in 2016 only 4.2%. Despite the odds this could be an exciting campaign for the liberty minded. Shane has made many interesting friends and acquaintances through his show. It will be interesting to see what kind of endorsements he may receive, what fundraising may look like and perhaps more importantly, how effective he will be in influencing debates and conversations.</p>
<h3>Interview</h3>
<p><strong><em>Steven K.:</em> How were you introduced to libertarian principles?</strong></p>
<p><em>Shane Hazel: </em>My brother Brett introduced me to Ron Paul somewhere around 2005. It was a gentle, “you should  check this guy out.” And interestingly enough due to just having experienced first-hand the lie that was the Iraq war thru OIF I, II& III I was primed to hear the truth Dr. Paul delivered.</p>
<p><strong><em>SK: </em>Those who supported you in 2018 have patiently waited to see what you may do this election year. You previously ran as a Republican and picked up nearly 30% of the vote in the primary your first time out against an incumbent. What led to you leave the Republican party?</strong></p>
<p><em>SH: </em>The Republican Party led me to leave the Republican party. As a hometown, family man, Marine combat vet, that tought the Constitution, Inalienable rights and Austrian economics to be treated with hate and vitriol to the degree I was, was eye-opening. I knew Republicans voters had strayed from their beliefs, but given the contrast between the incumbent Rob Woodall, with a 50% constitutional voting record and an even worse spending record, I believed they would drop him given this opportunity. But most Republicans are all talk, will vote out of fear of “democrats” and don’t do their homework on their reps, especially the office holders in the GOP. They predicate themselves as the party of “fiscally responsibility, constitutionally adherence, ardent supporters of the troops, Christ-followers and the defenders of rights.” However, reality is the party leadership down to the county chairs are corrupt liars that care about only one thing, power. The flagrant abuse of power and outright lies to control the narrative and election for the bought-and-paid-for incumbent was just astounding. They are literally controlled opposition for the democrats. I had to see it for myself, and glad I did.</p>
<p>Then I found the Libertarian Mises Caucus, organized by Michael Heise. He had recruited Libertarians back to the LP based on principle while outing Nick Sarwark for his absolute disregard for principle. Furthermore he had brought in fellow podcasters Tom Woods, Dave Smith, Larry Sharpe, Michael Boldin and seriously principled candidates like Josh Smith & Jacob Hornberger. That’s when I decided to talk to Michael Heise on my show, and I was sold. The passion, fire and energy are roaring back and to be part of this movement truly humbling.</p>
<p><strong><em>SK: </em>Politics today is enamored with Donald Trump. Where do you see politics going once Donald Trump is no longer in office?</strong></p>
<p><em>SH: </em>I think we are already seeing a decentralization. The US Empire is falling no matter what the politicians and propaganda machines tell you. Despotic federal gun, drug, property, military, currency, and surveillance laws are being nullified across the nation every year which is amazing. This will continue and speed up as we get closer to the economic collapse of the Fed. And once it collapses, there will be no other choice. Our job is to convince people to decentralize as peacefully as possible.</p>
<p><strong><em>SK: </em>Your opponent Congressman David Perdue voted for <em>H.R. 1158: Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020</em>. This act funds Departments of Defense, Commerce, Justice, Treasury, the Department of Homeland Security, and so many more. How would you have voted for <em>H.R. 1158</em>?</strong></p>
<p><em>SH: </em>Hell no! As I will on most everything that doesn’t reduce the size, scope and spending of government. Debt equals enslavement and the government has enslaved millions not yet born. How Americans have lost sight of this can be squarely placed on the government indoctrination system.</p>
<p><strong><em>SK:</em> Can you identify any particular departments of the Federal Government you would vote to fund today (assuming those departments were going to be held accountable and funded only what you believe would be needed to accomplish its mission)?</strong></p>
<p><em>SH:</em> Americans ran out of money over $23,000,000,000,000.00 ago. Maybe $24 trillion by the time I finish this interview. It’s really simple, I can’t sign off on enslaving future generations. The aristocratic combination of government and corporations has a come to Jesus moment coming and I’ll be happy to hasten it for what they’ve done to peaceful people around the world for the last 100 years.</p>
<p><strong><em>SK: </em>What legislation would you champion that you believe would benefit Georgians, and why?</strong></p>
<p><em>SH:</em> I will support any bill/policy that transfers power, treasure and property back to the people where it belongs, along with any bill that removes restrictions on individual rights.</p>
<p><strong><em>SK:</em> Who as a United States Senator would you be most excited to work with in Congress? Is there any particular legislation you would support that has been previously proposed by sitting members such as Mike Lee’s <em>Open Waters Act</em> (repealing the<em> Jones Act</em>) or Rand Paul’s <em>Penny Plan</em>?</strong></p>
<p><em>SH:</em> Mike Lee and Rand Paul on the Senate side. Thomas Massie, Andy Biggs, Justin Amash, and Chip Roy in the House. These guys all have grade-A constitutional voting records. I love Thomas Massies’ <em>H.R. 899 Abolish the Department of Education</em> bill. But, I’ll be more than happy to work with anyone I can from either party to end all the wars (including the drug war), end the federal reserve, and end the empire abroad. And as a Senator and a veteran, I think working with President Trump especially on a peaceful foreign policy would be a great honor.</p>
<p><strong><em>SK:</em> The entire nation had its eyes on your state May of last year when Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed into law additional abortion restrictions. Abortion also happens to be one of the most controversial topics among libertarians. 2016’s Libertarian Party nominee for President Gary Johnson identified as pro-choice and former Congressman Ron Paul identified as pro-life and believed states should decide how to handle the issue. Some libertarians identify as personally pro-life but struggle to imagine a means of enforcing abortion restrictions without infringing on freedoms of association or privacy.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Please share your views on abortion and the kind of legislation you would support related to the issue if any.</strong></p>
<p><em>SH:</em> I hate this topic. Usually I have a pretty good answer for just about everything, and here I don’t. Killing peaceful people is wrong, that includes babies. Government isn’t the answer for anything, including killing babies. Giving people that are known murderers, cheats and liars power over others isn’t going to solve the problem of people murdering babies. Look the government has power over it now and over 70 million babies have been murdered, many with money taken by force from peaceful people that don’t support killing babies. We’ve got to face facts; government is not the solution to our problems this is just one more example.</p>
<p><strong><em>SK:</em> How can readers learn more about your views and how to support your campaign?</strong></p>
<p><em>SH:</em> We have a ton of content on <em>The Rebellion</em> which will continue during the campaign. You can like and subscribe to our <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="YouTube channel (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCbDr2CmSmYCxHO3-YuN87Q?view_as=subscriber" target="_blank">YouTube channel</a>.</p>

You can donate at <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="ShaneHazel.com (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.shanehazel.com/" target="_blank">ShaneHazel.com</a>, and thank you in advance for donations and sharing on social media.

Imagine that!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Never fear though, everyone’s favorite quarterly journal will still be around – just under a different name and with some changes.</em></p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>Over the past few months, I’ve been thinking a lot about what <em>WAL Reader</em> has been during it’s first year and what I want it to be. I’m extremely happy with what I was able to do with the journal during the past year and I’m very proud of many of the contributors who have written wonderful content for our readers. Most of all, I thank Chris Spangle for letting me be apart of the <em><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="We Are Libertarian (opens in a new tab)" href="https://wearelibertarians.com/" target="_blank">We Are Libertarians</a></em> network despite our differences. This has been a wonderful – and educational – experience for me.</p>
<p>That being said, as I have evolved personally over this past year, <em>WAL Reader</em> must as well. I want to expand the scope and imagination of the journal; I don’t want to exclude any ideas that can contribute to a better, more thoughtful world.</p>
<p>Effective immediately, <em>WAL Reader</em> is relaunching as <em>Heretic</em>. Our mission is to share and foster ideas, art, and discussion that take on the power-mongering and demagogic orthodoxies of the day.</p>
<ul>
<li>We reject today’s <strong>political orthodoxy</strong> to find a society based on cooperation and peace, rather than threats and force.</li>
<li>We reject today’s <strong>cultural orthodoxy</strong> to foster civility, unity, and goodwill where hatred and animosity reign.</li>
<li>We reject today’s <strong>economic orthodoxy</strong> to imagine an economy that recognizes the inherent value of all and doesn’t prop up the elite.</li>
<li>We reject today’s <strong>religious orthodoxy</strong> to find faith based in love, hope, and virtue, rather than fear and material prosperity.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you can’t escape the nagging feeling in the back of your mind or pit of your stomach that there’s better solutions for our problems than what mainstream thought is telling and selling you, <em>Heretic </em>is meant for you.</p>
<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>
<p>I am very excited for this evolution of the project and am highly anticipating the wonderful content all our current and future contributors will provide. I look forward to seeing what new opportunities this new direction will bring to the journal.</p>
<p>Thank you all for your loyal readership so far. And as always, if you wish to contribute to the journal yourself, you can do so <a href="https://hereticjournal.com/submissions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">here</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Okay, no, we’re not all going to die.  But it certainly feels that way the way everyone has been reacting to the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).  What’s even more wild is that just a few short weeks ago, the biggest news item was Biden, Bernie, and the Democrats!  Amazing how quickly things can change, eh?</p>
<p>Well, with so much in the news, there was no way I could break it down for you on my own, so I called in backup, as this week I am joined by the great Bird and Car from the Friends Against Government Podcast!  These gents joined me on the show today to bring their own unique senses of wit and snark to help dissect what exactly is going on with this whole coronavirus pandemic (officially a pandemic!).  </p>
<p>Later, we take a step back into the world of politics and analyze the Democratic Primaries with Joe Biden seemingly taking the nomination by storm, having routed Bernie Sanders on Super Tuesday (and the following week as well!) and to give our best guesses as to who the Democrats will nominate as their vice presidential candidate… </p>
<p>Hillary?  AOC??  NANCY PELOSI???</p>
<p>You’ll have to listen to find out!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So if you’re “the rich” that could afford a ticket, this guy thinks you should have your money stolen by the venue to pay for “the poor.”</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="592" height="266" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-at-Mar-12-11-58-39.png" alt="" class="wp-image-38544" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-at-Mar-12-11-58-39.png 592w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-at-Mar-12-11-58-39-300x135.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-at-Mar-12-11-58-39-150x67.png 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a person that works in industries based around entertainment and advertising, I am completely sympathetic to people in a panic right now. I am building a business, and I don’t have months of salary stashed away for a job loss. That still does not entitle me to other people’s money. It’s a catalyst to take personal responsibility a little more seriously and plan better.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Work isn’t a welfare program. You trade time and work for money. If you’re not working, then an employer shouldn’t be forced to pay you. Your general welfare is your responsibility, and not the responsibility of taxpayers or employers. If paid time off of any kind is important to you, then negotiate that before you voluntarily agree to accept employment. The idea that someone else has to be responsible for our financial well being is childlike thinking and leads to the personal financial crisis that most of us are facing. The panic of not having income should be the catalyst for personal growth, not political action.</p>

They probably thought it through.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They probably also considered the impact on their employees too. The “evil businessman” bit really doesn’t work as the NBA, the NCAA, and hundreds of other businesses are walking away from millions in revenue this month out of concern for their employees and the public good.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My least favorite critique of liberty lovers is that we lose. They’ll find a complaint about a person or small policy point and say something like, “See, this is why nobody takes you seriously,” or, “Yeah, this is why you guys always lose.”</p>
<p>Let us concede the point. There is, likely at this very moment, some person who calls themselves a libertarian, saying or doing something stupid. There’s too many liberty lovers on this planet for one of them to not be making a mistake. I’m not going to water it down here, let’s assume it is a legitimately bad mistake. Maybe they’re not using the best wording when talking about their principles. Or maybe they’re being a jerk or a bully. Or maybe they’re just being an oddball.</p>
<p>Yeah, we had a guy dance naked at a convention once. But we have never murdered 500,000 innocent people overseas.</p>
<p>Yeah, our propositions to decrease the scope of the federal government are often struck down. But we have never jailed 600,000 people for growing a plant.</p>
<p>Yeah, we had a guy stick his tongue out during an interview. But we have never misplaced a nuclear warhead.</p>
<p>Yeah, our guy didn’t know the name of a city. But we have never allocated billions of dollars to build fighter jets that will never be flown.</p>
<p>I cannot possibly defend everything that every freedom embracing person is doing at any given moment. I’m sure whatever weird or silly behavior you are noting is exactly what it is, weird and/or silly. And I am aware that these moments of indiscretion will always be used as excuses for why authoritarian maniacs win and we peaceful revolutionaries lose.</p>
<p>So fine, call me a “loser.” If you feel like a winner butchering civilians, incarcerating families, losing nukes, and wasting money, then I really don’t know care. Whatever the game you’re “winning” at is not a game I intend to play.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />China and then Italy have given Americans a 50 day lead to prepare for COVID-19. The vitality of the disease is high so crowds spread it easily and quickly. I highly recommend you watch epidemiologist <a href="https://youtu.be/E3URhJx0NSw">Michael Osterholm on Joe Rogan</a>. It’s airborne and durable so it doesn’t die off quickly. During the Chinese New Year, <a href="https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/coronavirus-wuhan-neighbourhood-sees-infections-after-40000-families-gather-for">40,000 families</a> gathered for a pot luck dinner and it was the gas on this fire.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The disease is obviously bad, but playing a central roll in deaths in China and Italy were the total overwhelming of local healthcare systems. A lack of staff, ventilatiors, beds and other resources led to a lot of casualties. The best way to cut the spread of a disease is through “<a href="https://qz.com/1816060/a-chart-of-the-1918-spanish-flu-shows-why-social-distancing-works/">social distancing</a>.” Diseases in kids drop massively during a Christmas break. It’s not panic or mass hysteria. It has a precedent in past pandemics. It’s partly why the Spanish Flu killed 100 million and the next deadliest pandemic killed 3 million.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While America has a good healthcare system compared to China and Italy, we obviously have problems or Bernie wouldn’t be as popular as he is. Public health officials have warned for decades that our hospitals are not prepared for a pandemic. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anyone that organizes an event is now faced with a choice: Keep the revenue and risk making attendees and staff sick. This leads to potential liability issues knowing the information we have from the past two months. Mainly, it’s an ethical choice: can the organizer live with the consequences of losing lives to keep their revenue? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The answer is overwhelmingly no. For the NCAA and the NBA, they’re willing to sacrifice millions for the good of their communities and employees. No one in the government ordered these greedy capitalists to take this action. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To anyone that believes government is necessary to function in a crisis, look into the fiasco of testing kits. At every level, government has been unable to distribute the tests. That’s not even complicated biology. That’s logistics, and it should have been done long before this month. Meanwhile, the <a href="https://twitter.com/andrear9md/status/1237879211840303104?s=21">Cleveland Clinic</a> developed a new test in nine days that cuts the test time from 2 days to 8 hours. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Having researched this for days now, I’ve changed my mind. I think COVID-19 is a pandemic that poses a serious threat to the lives of a lot of people. Through social distancing, voluntary sacrifices by individuals and corporations, and free market solutions, we can avoid the disasters of China and Italy and save a lot of lives. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris Spangle talks to Fiona Harrigan and Jakob Puckett about libertarian solutions to climate change and energy policy. </p>
<p>Enis wrote in and asked:</p>
<p>There has been one thing that has been bugging me quite a lot though; how would climate change and pollution get tackled in a libertarian society? </p>
<p>While most current governments are not great at it either, ideas such as carbon tax actually make a lot of sense. That could in fact encourage people to invest more in clean energies, which are actually more profitable than fossil fuels. I have had direct experiences with unregulated businesses operate despite their utter lack of care for the health of the citizens. What do you think we as libertarians can do to promote sustainability?</p>
<p>So we answered it. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Christian Watson is a political writer and contributor for Young Voices. He can be found on Twitter at <a href="https://twitter.com/officialcwatson">@OfficialCWatson</a>.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In what country might a prisoner lose their life as an outcome of an ill-proven, hotly-contested case? If you thought of totalitarian regimes like North Korea or Iran, you wouldn’t be wrong. But it also happened in Alabama, where Nathaniel Woods was wrongfully executed last week. <br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anyone with even basic knowledge of the case can easily sniff out the injustice surrounding Woods’ conviction. The story <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/supreme-court-temporarily-halts-execution-alabama-inmate-nathaniel-woods-n1150711">goes</a>—in 2004, four police officers came to the home of Nathaniel Woods and his roommate, Kerry Spencer. They meant to <a href="https://www.wftv.com/news/trending/supreme-court-issues-stay-alabama-inmate-set-execution-2004-killings-birmingham-cops/46WCUCGQFJDQRJUYLFENMIHUDM/">serve</a> Woods a misdemeanor assault warrant, but, when they arrived, they walked into the “ambush” that prosecutors <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/supreme-court-temporarily-halts-execution-alabama-inmate-nathaniel-woods-n1150711">claimed</a> Woods had set up. Spencer shot three officers and injured the fourth—grounds for the death penalty in most states.<br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Spencer ended up <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/alabama-executes-nathaniel-woods-jr-linked-to-killings-of-3-police-officers-no-last-words">admitting</a> to the murders, explaining that Woods had nothing to do with it. <br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, then, Woods was convicted as an accomplice. In Alabama, that <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/supreme-court-temporarily-halts-execution-alabama-inmate-nathaniel-woods-n1150711">qualifies</a> you for the death penalty. <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/nathaniel-woods-execution-cast-scrutiny-alabamas-death-penalty/story?id=69433694">Woods went to trial</a>, and was given poor representation and suffered through botched trial proceedings. Too, there was unheard evidence that, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/nathaniel-woods-execution-cast-scrutiny-alabamas-death-penalty/story?id=69433694">according</a> to Robert Dunham, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, would’ve dismantled the “ambush” claim and could’ve helped to acquit him of the accomplice charge. <br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nathaniel Woods was killed by lethal injection. And some Alabama officials <a href="https://www.alabamaag.gov/Documents/news/Attorney%20General%20Steve%20Marshall%20Statement%20on%20the%20Execution%20of%20Cop-Killer%20Nathaniel%20Woods.pdf">cheered</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Those same people would say that the death penalty is an effective deterrent to serious crime, and, thus, a legitimate form of punishment. But a mountain of scientific consensus debunks that. A 2008 survey <a href="https://files.deathpenaltyinfo.org/legacy/files/DeterrenceStudy2009.pdf">conducted</a> by the <em>Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology</em>, for example,<em> </em>revealed that<em> </em>almost 90% of leading criminologists don’t believe the death penalty deters murder. <br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even if you doubt them, empirical evidence demonstrates that states without the death penalty have significantly <a href="https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/facts-and-research/murder-rates/murder-rate-of-death-penalty-states-compared-to-non-death-penalty-states">lower</a><em> </em>murder rates than states with it. Why, then, do <a href="https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/state-and-federal-info/state-by-state">29 states</a> still use this ineffective punishment model? <br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, given the irreversible nature of execution, it must be a perfect system in order to actually be just. But the system isn’t perfect—at all. In the United States, the number of innocent people executed is staggering. Newsweek <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/one-25-executed-us-innocent-study-claims-248889">reported</a> that one in every 25 people convicted for the death penalty are innocent. The real number, then, is even higher than that. It can’t include everyone wrongfully killed. <br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our immediate solution shouldn’t be to kill, but to pursue a more humane way of dealing with violent offenders—like simple incarceration. After all, when innocent people are convicted and put away, they still have the chance to fight, win and rebuild their lives. In fact, some do so <a href="https://www.npr.org/2019/10/02/765786518/jury-awards-27-million-to-massachusetts-man-wrongfully-convicted-of-murder">quite successfully</a>. The death penalty systemically denies them that right, which is simply unacceptable for a true justice system. The risk of error is too great to allow this practice to stand.<br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unfortunately, Woods isn’t not the only example of someone in America being executed for a crime they didn’t commit—and he certainly won’t be the last. That, of course, runs in stark contrast with the American motif of liberty and justice for all. His execution is a poignant, compelling reminder that the government shouldn’t be allowed to play God—especially with such a tragically bad track record. <br /></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Missouri’s presidential primary is today, and I can proudly say that I’ll be voting for Tulsi Gabbard.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I had a few options today:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="m_8247393133075881069MsoListParagraph"><strong><i>Get a Republican ballot and vote for Bill Weld</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"><em> –</em></span></strong> I am still a fan of Weld’s, and genuinely think that he’d be an extremely competent and effective president. And I’d get to vote against Trump .</li>
<li class="m_8247393133075881069MsoListParagraph"><strong><i>Vote for Yang</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"><em> –</em></span></strong> Over the past few months, Yang became my favorite of the Democrats running for congress. Unfortunately, he suspended his campaign after new Hampshire, so this would be a purely for my own gratification.</li>
<li class="m_8247393133075881069MsoListParagraph"><strong><i>Vote for Tulsi</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"><em> –</em></span></strong> I’ve been a Tulsi fan for four years now (though I admit, she’s done/said some things during the course of her campaign that give me pause), and she’s still actively running.</li>
<li class="m_8247393133075881069MsoListParagraph"><strong><i>Vote for Biden –</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"><em> </em></span></strong>I can’t stand Biden, but I think he has a decent chance of beating Trump (who can’t stand even more).</li>
<li class="m_8247393133075881069MsoListParagraph"><strong><i>Vote for Bernie<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i><em>–</em></strong> Bernie is marginally better than Biden, but that’s not saying much. I think he’d be an incompetent and ineffective president, and I think his natural tendencies are authoritarian. I also think he would get crushed by Trump in November.</li>
<li class="m_8247393133075881069MsoListParagraph"><strong><i>Stay home</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"><em> –</em></span></strong> anyone I really support has 0% chance of winning or has already dropped-out, so voting is basically a waste of time for me.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<p class="MsoNormal">Out of these options, I’m only able to proudly choose voting for Tulsi. Neither Bernie nor Biden align with my morality. And even though I favor Yang slightly over Tulsi, he’s dropped-our and she hasn’t.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Besides all of that, Tulsi is a phenomenal peace advocate, far better than any of her competition. Tulsi has centered her campaign on being pro-peace, which in my opinion is the main thing any morality-concerned campaign should be centered around. She has spoken clearly and boldly against the imperialists in both main parties for years, and has repeatedly drug her warmongering Democratic rivals (Biden, Buttigieg, Bloomberg, etc.) through the filthy mud they deserve. She is the only candidate who I feel confident would not start a new war or expand a current international quagmire.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I refuse to support a candidate who does not take peace seriously, and Tulsi is the only remaining candidate giving an anti-war message the centrality it deserves. I am proudly voting for peace today; I am proudly voting for Tulsi Gabbard. I urge anyone horrified by warfare and imperialism to do so as well.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(And for the Bernie Bros who will inevitably blame me and people like me for Bernie’s inevitable defeat in Missouri, I have three words: I don’t care.)</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s not a radical boast to say that racism has been losing steam. White nationalism is rightly and frequently taken to task. Just a mere decade ago, moronic statements from these lunatics were usually accompanied by some kind of explanation as to why the quote in question was foolish. Now, they can be presented without comment and the person making the statement will possibly find themselves without work or housing due to public backlash.</p>
<p>Sexism is also a losing campaign. Such adherents are desperately trying to link chromosome superiority of one sex over the other, only to be rebuked by the scientific method. Of course, both racism and sexism are far from eradicated; there’s some dipstick saying something of this kind virtually every day on some type of platform, but society has largely forced them into small cults of irrelevance.</p>
<p>So is it possible for things to get more bleak for racists and sexists aside from total extinction? Indeed, the answer to this question does not bode well for adherents to these garbage philosophies. Recently, a manager was fired for complying with a customer request to not have a “colored” server.</p>
<p>Story available here: <a href="https://www.theroot.com/olive-garden-manager-fired-after-complying-with-custome-1842119114">https://www.theroot.com/olive-garden-manager-fired-after-complying-with-custome-1842119114</a></p>
<p>How is this a setback? Well, I work in the restaurant industry. I don’t want to say that racism and sexism is prevalent, that be be hypocritical in light of what I’ve just written. But, when you serve hundreds of thousands of guests every month, one or two are bound to be of dubious mind when it comes to tolerance and let it show. At least monthly, we have a guest that requests to not sit in a section served by a Latina. And, daily, we have guests that refuse to be served by a male. The manager usually has no idea this occurs; the host feels pressure to make the guest happy and can easily comply with the request. The server who benefits from the racist/sexism against a coworker is more than happy to take their money. Of course, we talk (“Can you believe those guys over there told the host they didn’t want a Mexican to help them?”) so we know who they are, but, until now, we’ve been under tremendous corporate pressure to comply.</p>
<p>But this new story establishes a precedent that will likely become more and more popular. In fact, even this story comes about one year after a staff was fired for asking a black family to move to accommodate someone who was uncomfortable with them (<a href="https://www.theroot.com/buffalo-wild-wings-employees-fired-after-racist-seating-1839604536">https://www.theroot.com/buffalo-wild-wings-employees-fired-after-racist-seating-1839604536</a>). And these instance are going to become more and more common. The requests were always there, but now the threat of losing your job comes from complying with them.</p>
<p>“The Customer is Always Right” is an altruism of the food industry that won’t survive this new momentum. The market will no longer stand to cater to customer bigotry. And good riddance to it, I say.</p>

<p>Welcome back, folks!  This week, we get to learn about making libertarianism happen in real life! </p>
<p>I KNOW!</p>
<p>This week I’m joined by the CEO of the Startup Societies Foundation, Joe McKinney!  The Startup Societies Foundation is a non-profit that supports an ecosystem of entrepreneurs building libertarian micro-experiments.  </p>
<p>Today Joe and I focus on entrepreneurs putting liberty into practice, as we dig into a practical “how-to-guide” for entrepreneurs to build small libertarian experiments using Special Economic Zone frameworks, at low cost.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the past month, I’ve used <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-primary-forecast/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>FiveThirtyEight</em>‘s Democratic Primary Forecast</a> and the always-fun <a href="https://www.270towin.com/maps/blank-2020-electoral-map" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">270ToWin map generator</a> tools to produce a timelapse of the national Democratic primary. I started this project the day of the Iowa Caucuses, and have collected data up to the results of Super Tuesday (although, technically votes in CA are still being counted, the state is clearly a <em>W</em> for Bernie Sanders).</p>
<h3>The Rise and Fall of Bernie Sander’s “Revolution” in 44 Images</h3>
<p><a href="https://walreader.home.blog/2020/03/05/timelapse-of-the-democratic-primary-from-iowa-to-super-tuesday/#gallery-171-1-slideshow">Click to view slideshow.</a></p>
<h2>Methodology</h2>
<p>For those of you unfamiliar with <em>FiveThirtyEight</em>‘s forecast tool, one of it’s many useful features is to provide a range of percentages of each state’s votes that each candidate it likely to get, and then to provide an average vote percentage for each state.</p>
<p><em>For example: as of the morning of March 3, Sanders wins between 14% and 35% of the vote in 80% of simulations in Missouri. His average vote total in these simulations is 24%. In the same state, Biden wins between 28% and 54% of the vote in 80% of simulations. His average vote total in these simulations is 41%.</em></p>
<p>I then took these average percentages for each state and found the difference between them.</p>
<p><em>From the previous example with Missouri, on average Biden leads Sanders by 17%.</em></p>
<p>After finding that difference, I used the following scale to determine how likely a candidate was to win the state.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li><em>Safe – Leading by 21% or more</em></li>
<li><em>Likely – Leading by 20-16%</em></li>
<li><em>Lean – Leading by 15-11%</em></li>
<li><em>Tilt – Leading by 10-1%</em></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>After that, it was simply a matter of applying color-coding to that scale and filling out the map through <em>270ToWin</em>.</p>
<p>Originally, I was generating one map per day. However, as events began to unfold more quickly (Bloomberg’s brief surge, the Nevada Caucuses, two debates, etc.), I began making two or four maps per day to reflect the quickly-shifting landscape.</p>
<h2>Key Takeaways</h2>
<h3>1. The South was always Bernie’s weakness and Biden’s strength.</h3>
<p>Even when things looked at their worst for Joe Biden’s campaign (right after the Iowa caucus), most of the South was only tilting towards Sanders. Bernie never had a secure hold on the South as a whole, and only ever had a significant lead in Louisiana, Florida, and Georgia.</p>
<p>Biden’s total domination in the Southern states on Super Tuesday should not have been terribly surprising to anyone.</p>
<h3>2. Things can change very, very fast.</h3>
<p>Between February 3rd and 6th, Bernie went from doing decent in the West and some of New England to literally leading in every single state.</p>
<p>Between the South Carolina primary on February 29 to March 4, Joe Biden went from doing decent in the South to owning it, as well as making tremendous gains in the Midwest, Great Plains, mid-Atlantic, and New England.</p>
<p>Things are moving fast in this primary now. Multiple states are voting almost every single week for the next couple of months. Debates are going to keep happening. Endorsements will pile on.</p>
<h3>3. Debates performances matter.</h3>
<p>This can probably be seen most clearly with Bloomberg’s polling. In mid-February he was gaining significant traction in many Southern states, New York, and some Great Plains states.</p>
<p>Then he was in a couple debates.</p>
<p>After that, his polling plummeted and that was reflected in the vote totals of Super Tuesday and his almost-immediate departure from the race.</p>
<h3>4. Joe doesn’t have this in the bag…yet.</h3>
<p>After Biden’s indisputable thrashing of Sanders, Warren, and Bloomberg this past Tuesday, it would be easy to say that Biden’s path to the nomination is wide-open. But as we can see from Bernie’s massive wave that overwhelmed almost the entire country after Iowa that became a mere shadow of it’s former self within a few weeks, nothing is ever set in stone until someone gets a majority of delegates of the convention in Milwaukee decides the nominee.</p>
<p>Now, I am willing to say that the race is now Biden’s to lose. But I also said in early February that the race was Bernie’s to lose. And clearly, he figured out a way to do that.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris Spangle, Harry Price, Rhinehold, and Hodey Johns answer the following questions fro Jeff Bennett in another installment of The Path To Libertarianism Q&A. </p>
<ol>
<li>00:23:09 –  in a Libertarian Utopia how does policing work or how are major crimes (murder, grand theft) handled? Is policing centralized or multiple entities more like private security? If it is separate entities how does punishment work? </li>
<li>00:45:24 – going off of the Survival of the Fittest convo, how do Libertarians avoid “the rich getting richer and the poor poorer” when everything is privatized. (Due to the poor not being able to afford the same private services as the rich) </li>
<li>00:59:50 – how do public services, most specifically roads, street lights, and public access ways work in Libertarian environment? </li>
<li>00:1:12:03 –  how does currency / central banking work? Is gold the standard? Is cryptocurrency the answer? </li>
<li>00:1:27:42 –  I don’t believe that our society could go completely Lib overnight and that it would take some evolving to a truly libertarian society in America. How does the party band together to start making the changes needed to lay the groundwork for the future and what do those steps look like?</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that Super Tuesday is almost completely over (the final CA totals likely won’t be known for days), it’s safe to say that Biden overwhelmingly won.</p>
<p>Here’s a look at the Democratic primary race so far:</p>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" data-attachment-id="123" data-permalink="https://walreader.home.blog/2020/03/04/5-takeaways-from-super-tuesday/img_8093/" data-orig-file="https://walreaderhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/img_8093.jpg" data-orig-size="1701,1019" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}" data-image-title="img_8093" data-image-description="" data-medium-file="https://walreaderhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/img_8093.jpg?w=300" data-large-file="https://walreaderhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/img_8093.jpg?w=720" class="wp-image-123" src="https://walreaderhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/img_8093.jpg?w=1024" alt=""/><figcaption>Blue = Bernie<br />
Red/pink = Biden<br />
(At the time of writing, CA was still counting votes but called for Sanders, and ME was still counting votes but Biden had a slight lead.)</figcaption></figure>
<p>Here are some key takeaways from last night’s elections:</p>
<h2>1. Bernie is the Walking Dead</h2>
<p>Bernie’s hopes for being the Democratic nominee in June (slight as they were) died last night, even though he doesn’t realize it yet.</p>
<p>This whole campaign, Bernie’s promised to rally disaffected non-voters, rev up youth turnout to the polls, and unite the labor vote – none of those things have happened in any meaningful way. Bernie’s base is loyal to the death, but it’s not growing.</p>
<p>At time of writing, Biden has overtaken Bernie both in the popular vote and total delegate counts. Bernie’s campaign ran into massive wall last night and learned that his “revolution” wasn’t nearly as powerful or large as he tricked his supporters (and himself) into believing.</p>
<h2>2. Biden Isn’t Just a Regional Candidate</h2>
<p>Biden’s strategy to secure the nomination always relied heavily on dominating the so-called SEC Primary, the states in the Southeast. A lot of pundits speculated that his strategy relied too heavily on the SEC states though, and that he would fail to gain traction in are regions (especially heavily majority-white states).</p>
<p>His surprise wins in Minnesota, Massachusetts, and (probably) Maine dashes that theory. As Van Jones said, in 72 hours Joe Biden went from being a joke to a juggernaut.</p>
<h2>3. Warren is Bernie’s Kryptonite</h2>
<p>By staying in the race, Warren is mortally wounding Bernie’s campaign for very little gain of her own.</p>
<p>As the <a href="https://jacobinmag.com/2020/3/elizabeth-warren-bernie-sanders-democratic-primary-polls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Jacobin pointed out (opens in a new tab)">Jacobin pointed out</a> earlier this week, the right half of Warren’s support had already peeled away from her to one of the more moderate candidates. The only supporters she has left (outside of some moderates simply seeking to nominate a woman) are overwhelmingly left and many would likely rally to Sanders if she dropped out.</p>
<p>The oddest part about her refusal to concede is that she’s not even racking up that many delegates. She placed a distant third in her home start and only barely reached the 15% viability threshold in a few other Super Tuesday elections. She’s not going to be a force to contend with in a potential brokered convention.</p>
<h2>4. Bloomberg Fizzled Out</h2>
<p>While you could make a reasonable argument that Bloomberg possibly cost Biden California (and maybe Colorado), overall the potential titan of a Bloomberg conquest was over-hyped.</p>
<p>He performed well in a few states (mainly Tennessee and Arkansas), but overall his entire campaign was just a massive waste of $500 million.</p>
<h2>5. Never-Trumpers, Rejoice!</h2>
<p>As I’ve written before, I am not a fan of Biden and I will not vote for him in this primary or the general election.</p>
<p>That being said, I ardently believe that he is the best Democrat to take on Trump in November, and given the choice between Biden and Trump, Joe is a clear “lesser evil”.</p>
<p>Remember that “beating Trump” really only means winning a few thousand more votes in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina than Clinton did in 2016. With Biden’s strong union and African-American support, he can do that. Bernie in the other hand has always struggled with African-American voters and his adamant calls to totally ban fracking make his campaign DOA in a PA general election.</p>
<h2>6. Bonus!</h2>
<p>In all the noise around the Democratic elections yesterday, many forgot that there were several Republican primaries also.</p>
<p>Just in case anyone was wondering, Bill Weld’s Republican candidacy time outs Trump from the GOP’s nomination is still failing.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[In recent years, conservatives have used stock market gains as a catch-all reason to defend Donald Trump. For decades, libertarians have pointed to long-term declines in the rate of extreme poverty to promote a profit-based economic system.

Both of these habits are indicative of putting to much value in economics. For the conservative, economic growth can hide a multitude of sins. For the libertarian, long-term material betterment for the many can justify immediate inequalities and exploitation for the few.

Economics are overrated though. It would be nice if one could simply look at positive income and stock market trends in a country and definitively say “this is a good place to live”, but you can’t and anyone who says otherwise is wearing blinders. There’s more to societal progress than economic growth. Take for example, the following chart:
<div class="wp-block-group">
<div class="wp-block-group__inner-container">

</div>
</div>
<!-- /wp:post-content -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

This chart clearly shows a correlation between consumerist countries with higher GDPs and households consisting of only one adult. Now obviously correlation and causation aren’t the same thing, but I think a link between the two axes is undeniable. Even if no such link exists, this chart goes to show that economic growth and activity alone are no where near sufficient for judging the health of a society or the state of a country.

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

A “strong” economy by no means makes a place good, and a “weak” economy is by no means the end of the world.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Other than “they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps”, a supreme belief in the power and virtue of charity is the typical conservative response when confronted with socioeconomic problems that the state is attempting to solve.</p>
<p>The assertion that charity can – and should – address all social and economic ills (everything from drug rehabilitation to homelessness to medical bills) is noble in intent, but tragically short-sighted. You see, charity depends on there being well-off and poor people; the haves and the have nots. Charity often inadvertently reinforces class and social walls. Charity treats the symptoms, rather than curing the disease.</p>
<p>Now don’t get me wrong – in our present social state, charity <em>is</em> needed. We have a fever of inequality and desperation and until the disease can be cured, it <em>is</em> good to make the symptoms more bearable. But let’s be careful to make sure that we aren’t making the symptoms more bearable just to avoid the much, much more difficult work of egalitarian, systemic change.</p>
<p>Charity should be seen as a temporary method of treatment necessitated by the current system – not as some grand voluntary endgame.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A quick story about sports. I promise, it’s relevant.</p>
<p>I remember talking about sports with my friends a few years ago and Tom Brady’s name came up. As with most celebrity figures, people had vitriolic feelings one way or the other about him. A few of us, myself included, had finished reading the Wells Report which made it quite clear that he had participated extensively in a cheating scandal. There were a few in the room who loved Tom Brady and refused to read the Wells Report, but watched his rather substantial highlight reel more regularly. It was difficult to deny, watching him play, that he was one of the best quarterbacks of all time. We progressed past the whole topic with no consensus.</p>
<p>During my drive home, I thought to myself, having seen two pieces of compelling evidence, that I somehow had to make a choice. He was either a dirty cheater or an athlete with incredible talent. It took me several minutes to realize that these two things were not mutually exclusive. I did not have to believe my eyes only half of the time. He could be a great player and a rotten sportsman simultaneously.</p>
<p>Why is it that I, among other friends, felt the need to either deify or demonize him? I had all of the information in front of me, but I felt forced to choose which set of information to believe and which to discard. The answer was something that transcends mere bickering about sports: Tribalism. That night, we were divided into teams that either loved him or hated him. And that left no team interested in hearing the truth, excepting the truths that reinforced their team.</p>
<p>This was on my mind today as the news wrapped up, with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez making headlines for her statements about religion. As a theological scholar as well as a political analyst, this made for bait I simply don’t have the capacity to resist. In one video, she stands boldly before her peers, telling them that if Jesus were here today, His ideas about loving our enemies and welcoming strangers would be considered incredibly radical and uncomfortable to some of the self-professed Christians in Congress. I loved it. While I would be the first one to shove a wedge between church and state, I have seen the state and its inhabitants makes it difficult to operate as a church and stay true to the teachings of Christ by both law and culture. Indeed, the environment on capital hill is one of demagoguery and lies which are very antithetical to Christianity.</p>
<p>But, just as I was inspired by this video, I saw two more tweets from her that made me feel the exact opposite way about her. She lashed out at two Congressmen who believed in creationism, telling one that he didn’t believe in science and the other that he can’t believe in chromosomes as a creationist. Of course, to all but the completely indoctrinated atheist, this is totally absurd. It would be akin to a Christian of accusing an atheist that he believes in magic since that’s the only explanation for the Big Bang. Of course, AOC isn’t the first person I’ve heard state this moronic belief and the example I used is one I’ve heard an idiotic Christian spout off. Both are either intentionally misleading or woefully misinformed. I will let the “evil or stupid” debate play out on another stage, I’m no judge of character.</p>
<p>But I found myself unable to talk about both statements because everyone would go to their respective tribes. They either love her or hate her and any statement that contradicted their bias was not to be heard out. It’s unfortunate. And, as liberty loving people, I hope that we would push ourselves to get past this. I hope I don’t sound to condescending; I struggle with it too! Going back to the Tom Brady subject, I find it incredibly hard to accept both truths even today. But it’s a challenge worth engaging in.</p>
<p>I like to think of it as a buffet. If it looks good, let’s fill up our plate with it. And if it’s gross and moldy, let’s pass. We should treat each individual dish with an discerning but honest eye. The tendency, philosophically and metaphorically speaking, is to say that every food item at this buffet is either good or bad. If we say that it’s all good, we run the risk of eating some pretty gross food and filling our bellies with some average dishes instead of only a few spectacular ones. If we say that it’s all bad, we starve needlessly. When we seek the truth, we should be ready to dig in and ready to walk away after assessing the dish for ourselves.</p>
<p>Liberty lovers should be used to this. Tom Woods, one of the greatest advocates for liberty in our lifetime, has said a handful of supremely indefensible and, frankly, stupid things. He’s got 1500+ episodes on his podcast; believe me, if you talked that much, you’d say some stupid things eventually, too. Of course, as a personality, he does not accept these blunders as errors and will defend them and belittle those who call them out. But this role, the role of assessing what he says is intelligent and what he says is misguided or wrong, is not his role to be in; the role is ours. Many are eager to throw him under the bus entirely, dismissing volumes of grand work due to a few bad phrases. Unknowingly, they also toss out the liberty lovers that joined because of him. Many others are blindly defend his every word, trying to force these few lowlights into a position among the highlights. They will claim it as genius and are unwilling to entertain that he is a human who committed a human action; a mistake. Likewise, they unknowingly poison the fount that liberty comes from.</p>
<p>Challenge yourself. When you hear the name of someone, ANYONE, your brain will trigger a response based on your previous bias. This isn’t always bad! If you hear that Harvey Weinstein is hosting a private audition, maybe don’t show up. To revert to the analogy, I’m not telling you to go ahead and eat questionable food. But you are allowed to look without it hurting you. Let’s take AOC and Tom Woods for who they are: People. People who say smart things and dumb things. Maybe you prefer the food at the Tom Woods buffet more than the AOC buffet. That’s OK, but that doesn’t mean one is all good and the other is all bad. The advantage of ditching tribalism is that we can recognize wisdom and folly from any source.</p>

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let’s not mince words here: America, as well as every country on earth, is far closer to being socialist than capitalist. It’s not particularly close. The real question capitalists should ask themselves is how it got to be this way. And the answer does not lie with the tenacity of the socialists, but the anger from themselves.</p>
<p>The evidence of government-run socialism’s harm to the masses is self-evident and requires only an elementary knowledge of history or economics. So why, then, are they so successful, even while their advances slowly create a larger a larger wedge between rich and poor, the vary thing they claim to hate. But the question is already answered by the sentence. They claim to hate the disparity and it’s a message that resonates well for those who struggle with finances. And, if we’re permitted honesty, almost everyone struggles with finances in at least one aspect of their lives.</p>
<p>It’s not capitalism that must change. It’s the salesmen. Capitalism has done it’s job and done it well, taking peasants, casting out their burlap and replacing it with silk, taking homeless, putting roofs over their heads, and taking the destitute, giving them access to luxuries from all over the globe.</p>
<p>Yet capitalists waste so much time on fights that only further galvanize the socialist cause. Instead of going appealing to the huddled masses that benefit the most from ending the Federal Reserve, ending perpetual war, and ending false scarcities that drive up the costs of food and housing, they appeal to the elite, defending monstrous tax breaks. Or, even worse, they look at the budget and start not by axing the subsidies that go to the ultra-wealthy, but the subsidies that go to single mothers and starving kids.</p>
<p>The message does not need to be watered down or sound any less radical than it is. I mean… Ending the Fed and all wars is not exactly a small request. This is not a call to increase or even retain entitlement spending. It’s a call to show not just the poorest among us, but the average person, how ending these entitlements helps humanity. Capitalism is not just letting the rich be rich, it’s a death sentence to segregation, racism, religious warfare, homophobia, pollution, and all manners of societal issues.</p>
<p><strong>If you aren’t a compassionate capitalist, you’re not just a poor messenger; you’re not a capitalist at all.</strong> You don’t understand the philosophy. And you’re only assisting in the slow encroachment of authoritarianism that is poisoning every last one of us.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ve seen this video shared around a ton the past few days with comments mocking Biden, calling him “senile”, “stupid”, dumb”, “retarded”.</p>
<p>Back off.</p>
<p>He’s not any of those things, he’s just got a stutter.</p>
</p>
<div class="jetpack-video-wrapper"></div>
<hr />
<p>I do not support Joe Biden.</p>
<p><span class="text_exposed_show">I will never vote for Joe Biden.</span></p>
<p><span class="text_exposed_show">There’s so, so much to criticize Biden for, from his complicity in the Obama administration’s crimes to his constant collaborating with Republicans.</span></p>
<p><span class="text_exposed_show">But for goodness’ sake, please stop mocking him for his stutter.</span></p>
<p><span class="text_exposed_show">I had to have speech therapy all through almost all of elementary school (my name is Ryan and I struggled to say Y and R sounds), so believe me I know firsthand how embarrassing speech impediments can be and how cruelly others can react to them.</span></p>
<p><span class="text_exposed_show">I still fall into slurring and mild stuttering if I talk too quickly (or even at a normal pace, if I’m not consciously trying not to or if I’m nervous, tired, etc.). There’re times it still makes me feel stupid (though thankfully, no one has been mean enough in several years to say something to me along those lines).</span></p>
<p><span class="text_exposed_show">Until you know what it’s like to always be desperately searching in your head for a word or sound without finding it; until you know what it’s like to see a word coming up that you have to read allowed and dread it; until you know what it’s like to be so embarrassed by your voice that you just don’t talk, shut up.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The most common challenges to Christian pacifism are a host of hypothetical scenarios: <em>What if someone broke into your house?; What if someone threatened your family?; What if someone [fill in the blank]?</em></p>
<p>The problem with these challenges though, is that they are aiming towards an entirely different goal post than than the one Christian pacifists are. All of these hypothetical challenges are predicated on the assumption that <em>effectiveness</em> is the goal: how <em>effectively</em> does pacifism protect you and yours?</p>
<p><strong>But effectiveness isn’t a theological category or a moral standard.</strong></p>
<p>I am not a pacifist because I believe the practice of pacifism is effective (though <span>I do think that pacifism and peacemaking are a lot more effective than the world often gives them credit for being), I’m a pacifist because I believe that that is part of living in the way of Jesus. </span><span>There are countless scenarios when the practice of pacifism can result in pain, loss, death even. But Jesus never promised security and strength to his followers (just the opposite actually).</span></p>
<p>I don’t think Jesus would be asking <em>What do I do to the person threatening me?</em>, but rather <em>How can I help the person threatening me?</em>. And if that answer likely would have resulted in his own harm, I don’t think that would stop him (see, the Crucifixion of Christ).</p>
<p>Furthermore, I readily admit that there are situations I can foresee where I likely would use violence. This however is not proof that pacifism is not attainable – it’s proof that I have yet to truly attain it. It’s not proof in the unholiness of pacifism – it’s only proof that there is is still plenty of sanctification left to be done in me.</p>
<p>The way of the cross is the rejection of violence, so any acceptance of violence is – at the least – a temporary denial of the power of Jesus’s way.</p>

<p>Tia Brewer and Shane Beal of Hope House are working towards opening the first recovery house for women in Grant County, Indiana. </p>
<p>Marion, like most other cities, is experiencing a surge in substance use issues and a lack of recovery homes. Hope House Marion is opening in March of 2020 and will provide sober living environments for both men and women. More importantly, they will provide Hope for those seeking recovery. Hope House Marion believes that providing people in recovery with safe, structured, and stable living environments is the key to making Marion a better community.</p>
<p>Hope House Marion was created by members of the recovery and faith community to provide safe, structured, and stable housing for men and women living with a substance use disorder.</p>

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>
<p>Go to https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow and become a member today, and join me in making the LP the very best it can be!</a></li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[</p>
<p>I recently finished the book <em><a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/files/624/624-h/624-h.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Looking Backward</a></em> by Edward Bellamy, published in 1888. If that name sounds familiar to you, there’s good reason: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bellamy?wprov=sfti1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bellamy</a> was one of the best-selling authors of the 19th century and one of the ideological leaders of the populist movements of that time. </p>
<hr />
<p>I’d give this book a 2 or 3 out of 5 if the dang ideas in it weren’t so interesting and fleshed-out. For that reason, I give it a 4 out of 5. As a novel though, it falls flat.</p>
<p>This book is a political/sociological manifesto disguised as a novel – paragraphs of philosophical minutiae are disguised as “dialogue” and the entire plot is just the outline of an essay with random settings thrown in here and there. The characters serve absolutely no function and have zero depth until the last 5 pages.</p>
</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the ideas that are expressed very thoroughly in these pages are fascinating – especially considering that they came from 1888 (though, given that it was 1888, the author’s racist and sexist views do occasionally slip out). It is well worth a read for anyone who rejects the idea that the present economic and political order is the pinnacle of human progress. </p>
<hr />
<p>I’d be curious to know how many of <em>Looking Backward</em>‘s readers thought this was a tale of a utopia or a tale of a dystopia.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Presidents’ Day often involves reflecting on the men who who were presidents. For many, this day is often a time to viciously criticize our least favorite of these men. (Believe me, it takes very little prodding for me to bring up the <a href="https://www.cato.org/publications/commentary/hitler-mussolini-roosevelt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fascism of FDR</a>, the <a href="https://law.seattleu.edu/Documents/ailj/Spring%202015/EagleWoman.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Native American slaughters of Lincoln</a>, <a href="https://www.umbc.edu/che/tahlessons/pdf/historylabs/Oliver_North_an_faculty:RS13.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reagan’s Iran-Contra affair</a>, etc.).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regardless though of whether this reflection takes on a positive or negative light, it is almost always limited to the men themselves, and not the presidency as an institution. But if we did more of that, we might see that the ever-present “badness” of American presidents is due far more to the presidency itself than to any of the presidents’ own moral failings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The presidency is and always has been a black hole of power, and presidents are essentially term-limited Caesars. There is supreme truth that power corrupts and a simple fact of humanity is that we are not made to withstand the crushing gravitational forces of power that come with a position like the presidency. Even the best of humankind when faced with the temptation that comes along with that power will see their morality crumble.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are no good presidents. Yes, decent, moral people can (and have) occupied the Oval Office, but the presidency itself is a rotten role requiring the shedding (at least, temporarily) of goodness. Any one who wants to be simultaneously a good person and President will ultimately fail at one of those things.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back, folks!  I hope you all enjoyed last week’s episode with Libertarian Party Presidential candidate Jacob Hornberger (I know I certainly did!).  Keeping up with phenomenal guests, I am today joined by Ammo.com’s Lead Writer and Chief Historian, Sam Jacobs!</p>
<p>Sam joins the show today to discuss one of his recent article over at Ammo.com, titled “Deplatformed: How Big Tech Companies & Corporate America Subvert the Second Amendment”.  Sam, a self identified “Jacksonian-Conservative”, takes a different approach to the tech censorship and deplatforming that has taken place in the past few years when compared to the traditional libertarian’s perspective.</p>
<p>Listen as Sam and I have a fun back-and-forth discussion where we volley our differing takes to one another, leaving the conversation on a solid ground of understanding each other’s position, and more importantly, that we were able to find some, <em>gasp</em>, COMMON GROUND!</p>
<p>Read Sam’s Article: <a href="https://ammo.com/articles/deplatformed-big-tech-companies-subvert-second-amendment-social-media-guns" rel="nofollow">https://ammo.com/articles/deplatformed-big-tech-companies-subvert-second-amendment-social-media-guns</a><br />

<p>Sam’s Bio: Sam Jacobs grew up in Southern New England, probably the part of the country with the weakest gun culture. However, from a young age he believed firmly in the right of self defense and the right to keep and bear arms. This, coupled with 12 years of education in public schools and an argumentative nature, meant that he was frequently getting into debates with his teachers about the virtue of the Second Amendment. A precocious student of history and the Constitution, Jacobs became interested in both the practice of armed self defense throughout history as well as the philosophical underpinnings of the Second Amendment.</p>
<p>Jacobs has an affinity for the individual and the common man against centralized forms of power and elites, whether they be in the government or the private sector. In particular, he is interested in the ways in which private companies work to subvert the legislative process and to undermine American freedoms outside of normal legal channels. He considers the resolution of how corporate power can hem in Constitutional freedoms to be the most pressing political question of our age.</p>
<p>The private sector and the public sector are increasingly indistinguishable from one another, both because of behind-the-scenes corporate chicanery that undermines the legislative process and because private companies are rapidly becoming far more powerful than the federal government. Thus, it is more important than ever to both fight the incursion of private companies into our government and to become independent and self-reliant enough to make it difficult for private companies to hem in your rights.</p>
<p>So Sam believes.</p>
<p>Jacobs is the lead writer and chief historian with Ammo.com, and is the driving intellectual force behind the content in the Resistance Library. He is proud to see his work name-checked in places like Bloomberg, USA Today and National Review, but he is far more proud to see his work republished on websites like ZeroHedge, Lew Rockwell and Sons of Liberty Media.</p>
<p>How many firearms does Sam own and what’s his everyday carry? That’s between him and the NSA.</p>

<p>Indiana counties are starting to become “2nd Amendment” Sanctuaries, Henry County took action this week. Local election field are set for the primary, we have the full breakdown. Nationally, the field is starting to thin for the Democrat nominee. The “panel” makes their picks. Bernie and Mayor Pete are the favorites.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Andrew Yang 2020 is <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/02/andrew-yang-drops-out/606352/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">no more</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I admit it. Over the past several months I’ve gone from being extremely skeptical of Andrew Yang and his ideas to a proud member of the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/yanggang?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">#YangGang</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, I’m not sure if I would have voted for him in in a general election (to be fair though, I’m not sure if I’ll ever vote for anyone in a presidential general election again), but I was all on board with his Democratic primary bid. With the exception of Tulsi Gabbard, he was the only Democratic candidate I was enthusiastic about and could support with a clear conscience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I love the concept of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Universal Basic Income</a> (UBI). I believe that it is vastly superior in all ways to other “progressive” proposals for a federal jobs guarantee or mandatory national service, and it offers to a treatment for poverty that goes far behind the oversimplified idea of “lifting yourself up by your boot straps” that conservatives plaster everywhere. By injecting UBI into mainstream political discussion, Andrew Yang performed a tremendous public service; that alone makes he former candidacy an overwhelming net good for our political discourse.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yang was the only candidate whose ideas made me look forward to the future. As a 24 year-old, I am under no elusion that within my working lifetime automation will not only affect, but likely displace almost any job available to me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Conservatives and libertarians like to pretend that the coming AI revolution is just another advancement in technology, little different than the transition from wagons to Model Ts – that’s delusional. Progressives are under the assumption that they can legislate away the AI revolution – that’s equally delusional. Yang’s ideas and intense combination of pessimism (for our current trajectory) and optimism (about our potential future) made me realize that AI and automation aren’t paper tigers to be ignored or boogeymen to be feared. AI and automation have the potential to revolutionize labor as it has existed for centuries and to largely eradicate the scourge of “<a href="https://www.vox.com/2018/5/8/17308744/bullshit-jobs-book-david-graeber-occupy-wall-street-karl-marx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bullsh*t jobs</a>” and menial jobs that leave their occupants underpaid and unfulfilled.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alas, with Yang’s withdrawal form the race, there’s little reason to expect that whoever wins the presidential election in November will have any serious or worthwhile responses to the questions Yang brilliantly made so many aware to. Likewise, I see little reason for me to go to the voting booth.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The following story was gleaned from a conversation between Phillip Yancey and a friend of his who fought in World War II.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>The Battle of the Bulge was so chaotic that taking prisoners (especially wounded prisoners) was impossible. Instead, a special American unit was sent out each morning to kill wounded German soldiers left on the battlefield — it wasn’t an option to allow them to rejoin the Nazi army and the Americans didn’t have the ability to treat or confine them, so killing them was seen as a mercy.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>On one of these search‐and‐kill mornings, an American found a German soldier, sitting with his back against a tree — not wounded, just too exhausted to move and left behind by his brothers. The American raised his gun to shoot.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“Wait a minute,” the German soldier wearily said in perfect English. “Give me a moment to pray.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“Are you a Christian?” asked the American</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“I am,” the German replied.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>“I am too.”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>So the American sat beside his German brother in Christ. They read their Bibles together, shared favorite scriptures, and they prayed. They showed each other pictures of their families and then prayed for each other’s families.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>So what happened?</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Then the American stood up and said “You’re a Christian, and I’m a Christian. I’ll see you in heaven.” And then, he blew the German’s brains out.</em></p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the insanity of Christians contributing to war.</p>

<p>Welcome to the theatre! It is a State of the Union and Iowa caucus breakdown. Really fun wander through the optics of national level politics. Will the theatrics make it all the way to the May, Indiana primary? Sean Row thinks Bernie is the only help for the Democrats to beat Trump. Jeremiah thinks Joe Biden is in serious trouble. Dakota says that Mayor Pete has gone full corrupt and is buying the voter app conspiracy theories. </p>
<p>We are pretty sure that Zach just tore up the notes Pelosi style.</p>
<p>We think we know who won the caucus, but do we really know? Jeremiah declares himself the winner of Nevada, New Hampshire, and New Mexico.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 100 is here!  Not only do we have a new intro song to debut, but we’re also joined by and incredible guest!  Today, I am joined by Libertarian Party presidential nominee/Mises Caucus endorsed candidate… the great Jacob Hornberger!  Jacob joins the show to outlines how he would carry the libertarian message forward in the general election and why he would be the best choice to be that messenger.</p>
<p>And as an aside… thank you to each of you amazing members of the audience.  Without your love, support, and encouragement, Episode 100 would never have happened.  Here’s to the next 100 episodes of educating, enlightening, and informing!</p>

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>
<p>Go to https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow and become a member today, and join me in making the LP the very best it can be!</a></li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;">Why Civility is Worth Defending<br />
<em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/ryan-lindsey/">Ryan Lindsey</a></em></h3>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">What do you do with the mad that you feel<br />
When you feel so mad you could bite?<br />
When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong…<br />
And nothing you do seems very right?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">What do you do? Do you punch a bag?<br />
Do you pound some clay or some dough?<br />
Do you round up friends for a game of tag?<br />
Or see how fast you go?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">It’s great to be able to stop<br />
When you’ve planned a thing that’s wrong,<br />
And be able to do something else instead<br />
And think this song:</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I can stop when I want to<br />
Can stop when I wish<br />
I can stop, stop, stop any time.<br />
And what a good feeling to feel like this<br />
And know that the feeling is really mine.<br />
Know that there’s something deep inside<br />
That helps us become what we can.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I don’t know about the rest of you, but 2019 America seemed like a pretty brutal place. It’s like we were all in sync and in agreement on two things and two things only — people that aren’t like you are trash, and you should go for their jugulars anytime you get a chance.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Politicians, celebrities, bankers and financiers, media personalities and talking heads, neighbors with opposing views — it seems like all of us are just lurking around like brutish, ugly toads waiting to trounce one another. We’ve knotted our likelihood of feeling happy to our ability to witness and inflict embarrassment, inconvenience, or pain on the enemies we’ve all fashioned each other in to.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We’ve praised nastiness. This is obvious among the right-bent portion of society (I mean, come on — Donald Trump is their idol), but it was equally prevalent among the lefties as well. And don’t think you get a pass on this centrists; some of the most condescending and stuck-up skim-milk rhetoric in history has come from y’all this past year or so.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We get a thrill from the suffering of others. That might sound dramatic but it’s true, it is. Maybe you saw someone losing their job and becoming a pariah because it was uncovered that they maintained a rather racist presence on social media, and you just really, really liked that. Maybe you saw a news story about someone who was a gun control advocate get robbed or assaulted, and you reveled in the “irony”. Maybe you saw the fault lines in a certain president’s mental state start to crack and you just couldn’t get enough of the presently-occurring meltdown. Maybe you witnessed someone’s hopes and dreams crumble around them as their political campaign imploded.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Maybe it’s just me who really enjoyed seeing multiple peoples’ lives get ripped to shreds last year, but I doubt it.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">This is all in a strange juxtaposition to the fact that reminders to empathy’s existence are also seemingly increasingly bombarding us nowadays. Take, for example, the surprising (but delightful) revival that Mr. Rogers and his neighborhood have had in the national consciousness these past few years. Even though the man has been dead for over a decade now, all the sudden there have been multiple movies made about him, even more books and magazine articles (of which this very piece is just a small part of the trend) written about him, and countless conversations are conducted about him every day.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Is this all just a matter of us not practicing what we preach? That wouldn’t be terribly uncommon. Or is the problem that we simply didn’t really learn anything at all from watching <em>Mr. Rodger’s Neighborhood</em>? Did Fred fail at his mission of trying to make us better at loving each other? Was he really doing nothing more than playing with puppets to no avail?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So all the while that we can’t stop screaming “Fuck you!” at each other, we’re also totally enamored with a gentle, kind, and wise pastor from Pennsylvania who just happens to be the king of that critical part of human relation called empathy (don’t worry though King Friday — you’re still the best royalty around).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It’s bonkers.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It makes no sense.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It’s really pretty infuriating.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What exactly are we all doing wrong?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And how disappointed would Fred be in all of us?</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-540 aligncenter" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14.png" alt="flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14" width="355" height="73" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14.png 1600w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-300x62.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-1024x211.png 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-768x158.png 768w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-1536x317.png 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The cause of the quagmirical crossover of our collective crankiness towards each other and impassioned interest in Fred Rogers lies — I believe — in a disconnect between out feelings and actions. We get that empathy is important, we just don’t act on it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We hear a lot about empathy. A lot to the point where it often it often sounds hollow. The word is everywhere — t-shirts, book bags, bumper stickers, campaign speeches, Instagram accounts all reminding us that we can choose empathy, making it feel as if choosing to empathize with others is all it would take to fix a world that so often feels broken. But if we want to fix the world, then we have to take our empathy and do something with it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Doing something with it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Easier aid than done, right?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Fortunately for us, there’s Mr. Rodgers.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">You see, he didn’t only tell us how important empathy is (that’s the part of his message that we all seem to have down for the most part). He also used his show to explicitly show us what empathy can look like as action rather than just as an electronic pulse in your gray matter.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Take for example Fred’s famous foot bath with with Officer Clemmons (who was black) at the height of the battle over segregated swimming pools. Mr. Rodger’s didn’t just vaguely tell us to try and empathize with everyone; he got someone who represented a group that desperately needed empathy and action, and showed the children of that day exactly what they could do practically in their lives to spread love.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Empathy without action is just a pointless jolt of nice-feeling chemicals to your brain. Mr. Rodger’s showed us how to do more.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-538 aligncenter" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/90-903192_mister-rogers-neighborhood-classic-trolley-mr-rogers-neighborhood-e1580653118932.png" alt="90-903192_mister-rogers-neighborhood-classic-trolley-mr-rogers-neighborhood" width="920" height="366" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/90-903192_mister-rogers-neighborhood-classic-trolley-mr-rogers-neighborhood-e1580653118932.png 920w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/90-903192_mister-rogers-neighborhood-classic-trolley-mr-rogers-neighborhood-e1580653118932-300x119.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/90-903192_mister-rogers-neighborhood-classic-trolley-mr-rogers-neighborhood-e1580653118932-768x306.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If Mr. Rogers was still alive today, what do you think he’d have to say about the state of things? What would Fred’s state of the union sound like? (I mean, I know would probably include pleasant melodies and some puppet appearances, but what would the meat of it be?)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In all honesty, he’d probably be disappointed but not all that surprised — it’s not like the public atmosphere the last couple decades of his life were all sunshine and roses. I think he’d be genuinely shocked that we were still at war in the Middle East to the extent that we are. I think he’d be disgusted by the scenes coming from the CBP camps in New Mexico and Texas. I think he’d be puzzled by our insistence on trying to solve increasingly minuscule problems in public political death matches at the national level. But aside from all that, what I think would shock, disgust, and puzzle him the most though would be just how absolutely uncivil we’ve all become.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">You see, in all things (at least, from what I’ve been able to see of his life) Fred Rogers was civil. This doesn’t mean that he wasn’t passionate or unable/unwilling to take sides in heated matters. This doesn’t mean that he would partake in compromises with evil or would sacrifice his moral values for quaint calls of “unity”. It means that in all things Fred Rogers never lost sight of the humanity of the people he disagreed with. He didn’t have enemies, he just had neighbors who didn’t agree with him sometimes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Seriously, imagine if he were still alive and someone tried to bait Mr. Rogers on Twitter. Maybe Fred had just made a sad comment about the separation of immigrant children from their families and @RealDonaldTrump had this to say:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:80px;">Dopey @YourNeighborFred143 is low energy and wants open borders! He’s just jealous that my ratings were always higher than his – a real embarrassment to television who tries (and fails bigly) to influence YOUR CHILDREN! Sad!</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Would Mr. Rogers “clap-back” with some sassy retort? Would he take the opportunity to dissect piece-by-piece why the president’s policies were awful? Would he get drug into some sort of mud-slinging match between his fans and the MAGA crowd.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nah.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I’m not gonna pretend to have an inkling of an idea what he would say, but I think it’s pretty obvious some of the things he wouldn’t. And unfortunately, many of those responses that he’d avoid would be our first resorts.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Obviously I don’t know for sure, but I’d bet a fair amount that if Mr. Roger’s had one idea for improving America in 2020, one plea for all of us to heed, it would be for all of us to not forsake kindness. To be civil.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-540 aligncenter" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14.png" alt="flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14" width="355" height="73" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14.png 1600w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-300x62.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-1024x211.png 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-768x158.png 768w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-1536x317.png 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now, I don’t want this call to civility to be confused with the attempts by some politicians to replace principle and moral-fortitude with mere cooperation. (I’m riding on the coattails of Fred Rogers, not Joe Biden or Mayor Pete.) Civility doesn’t mean compromising your values or avoiding tough fights that matter.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-535 alignleft" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ryan_q1.png" alt="Ryan_q1" width="463" height="256" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ryan_q1.png 1014w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ryan_q1-300x166.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ryan_q1-768x425.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 463px) 100vw, 463px" />On the contrary, I’d say part of civility is standing up and speaking out against policies and actions that are inherently uncivil, inherently anti-social. Speaking out against ICE tactics is not an uncivil act. Protesting efforts to impose authoritarian society barriers on the populous is not uncivil. At least, those things aren’t inherently uncivil. But vilifying those with positions different than — or even counter to — yours and seeing them as a policy obstacle first and a fellow human second or third… well, that is uncivil.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What if we followed one simple principle I like to call Rogerism: whatever you fight for, do it civilly. If you can’t do that, then figure out how to. After all, in theory, it should be pretty easy, right? Just embrace your own feelings, empathize with others, and act in a way that respects them (and that respects and acknowledges your own ability to be an empathetic and decent person).</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">But why? What exactly is so important about civility? Why did Mr. Rogers put such a high value on it?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I think the answers to these questions are numerous, and I can’t say exactly why Fred Rogers championed civility so much. That being said, I’ll give three of my best guesses/reasons as to way I think that all of us should strive to maintain Rogerism in our own lives and interactions.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">First, I believe that civility is worth defending because it is essentially the manifestation of living virtuously. Civility is a natural side-effect of acting out the virtues in your day-to-day interactions.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now, there’s a fair amount of debate as to what “the virtues” are, what they stand for, why they’re significant, etc. Addressing these issues would (and does) take up lengthy, lengthy tomes of philosophy of religion so out of necessity I’ll have to ignore those questions here. But for the purpose of this article, just know that I personally accept the following to be “the virtues”:</p>
<ul style="text-align:justify;">
<li>Kindness</li>
<li>Truthfulness</li>
<li>Friendship</li>
<li>Patience</li>
<li>Hope</li>
<li>Justice</li>
<li>Courage</li>
<li>Joy</li>
<li>Simplicity</li>
<li>Humility</li>
<li>Generosity</li>
<li>Character</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Look at these qualities. Think about them. Do you think you can be practicing these traits and acting uncivil at the same time? If your list of virtues is different than this (which it probably is), that’s fine — regardless, I do not think it possible to live in a consistently virtuous manner and a consistently uncivil manner. The two adjectives (virtuous and uncivil) are simply incompatible.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-536 alignright" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ryan_q2.png" alt="Ryan_q2" width="433" height="346" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ryan_q2.png 825w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ryan_q2-300x240.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ryan_q2-768x613.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px" />Can you be expressing kindness while also being uncivil? Or be truthful to yourself while denying your own self-evident ability to foster civility? Do the acts of being a good friend and an uncivil opponent go hand-in-hand? Does practicing incivility show a strong sense of patience? Doesn’t incivility show more of a lack of hope than an abundance of it? And is the aim of incivility really justice, or just personal vindication? Is it more courageous to work through issues with mutual respect and courtesy or with insults and buffoonery? Aren’t the least civil among us often the most prideful? And if you think about it, don’t disrespect and ill-will often rob you and others of joy? Surely there are better ways to be generous than being generous with vitriol? And wouldn’t civility be better constant character trait than incivility?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Call them the virtues, call them living well, call them whatever you want — the fact remains that civility always, always aligns more closely with them than incivility.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Secondly, I think that incivility inevitably metastasizes from our words and thoughts and infects our actions in tragic ways that hurt the most vulnerable among us. If we foster an attitude of contempt for our own literal neighbors just because they have different social views than us, then how much easier is it to feel disgust for our political opponents across the country who we never meet? If we can be disgusted by our domestic political opponents, how much easier is it to dehumanize people across the globe, especially in countries and cultures quite different from ours? If we can dehumanize people in cultures that seem absolutely bizarre to us, then how much easier is it to just go along with the program when our president tells us that we bombed them and invaded them and occupy them?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This might seem like a stretch, but I don’t think it really is that much of one. If we’re incapable of respecting and empathizing with the people down the block, how are we supposed to truly value the humanity of Iraqis or Iranians or North Koreans or Syrians or Russians?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If we detest our own family members because of their opinions, how are we supposed to care about the lives of the homeless, the drug-addicted, the sexually-exploited, the economically depressed outside of our own orbits?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And of course I’m not about to make the ridiculous claim that simply making our domestic discourse calmer will cure all our social ills and usher in an era of world peace — many presidents who history considers to be “civil” and “respectable” were frightful warmongers and social authoritarians. But at least the civility gave an air of gravitas to the violence and gave it more weight than it has now. It’s a start, a definite step in the right direction. We should practice and promote civility because goodness is contagious.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Maybe, just maybe, if I show some small kindness to other people, then they’ll show some small kindness to other people, and maybe — just maybe — we’ll start a chain reaction that spans the globe.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-540 aligncenter" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14.png" alt="flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14" width="355" height="73" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14.png 1600w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-300x62.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-1024x211.png 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-768x158.png 768w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-1536x317.png 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The third and final reason I will go into for justifying the importance placed on civility comes from another lesson from dear Mr. Rogers: “You were a child once too.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>You were a child once too.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Just imagine if we all took this simple six-word phrase and ingrained it into every encounter we were a part of. And I don’t just mean in the sense of rediscovering the innocence and sense of wonder that came with childhood, but what if we started trying to truly, actively apply this motif to others as well.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>They were a child once too.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Maybe we’d start viewing different ideas as something to learn from, rather than something to fear. Maybe we’d start viewing our “enemies” as “just not our friends, yet”. Maybe we’d start realizing that our own meanness is often just our own hurt in a different shape, and that maybe mean people are really just hurting people. Maybe we’d be quicker to give out hugs or to share our snacks than to give out <em>ad homs</em> and share our wrath.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Just think about this simple phrase the next time you get in an argument with someone (I promise to try as well). I bet it’s a lot harder to view someone as a sub-human piece of shit when you force yourself to remember that they were once a child too. They were once innocent and they probably had big ‘ol dreams for their life and wonderful, magical ideas about how the world could and should work. They were probably hurt somewhere along the way (like you probably were) and they probably lost a lot of that beautiful childhoodness (like you probably did).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-537 alignleft" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ryan_q3.png" alt="Ryan_q3" width="397" height="214" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ryan_q3.png 833w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ryan_q3-300x162.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ryan_q3-768x415.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px" />And chances are, now they’re just trying to do what they genuinely think is right (just like you are).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In fact, I want to try this exercise out now with myself. Over the last four years, I’ve made no secret about how deep my disdain for Donald Trump is. But looking back on my own thoughts and behavior, I see a troubling trend of me viewing him exactly like he views so many others. I treat him like he treats the people that I get mad at him for for treating badly. Yikes.</p>
<p style="padding-left:40px;"><em>Dear Donald,</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:40px;"><em>Now, I’m not going to mince words — I’m sorry, but you are often extremely rude and mean, you take offense and lash out viciously at the slightest slights, and it’s hard for me to disbelieve that your ego is out-of-control. I think you’re dangerous to a lot of good people.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:40px;"><em>But you were a child once too. And I’m genuinely trying to be sorry for all the things that happened to you that have made you feel insecure or like you lacked anything, like you weren’t enough. Were you bullied and got tired of it, so one day you decided to become the bully instead? I know I’ve been at that bridge and crossed it on the wrong side before. Did you parents not love you tenderly enough, or give you attention when you really, really did need it? Maybe you were — like me — always the last to get picked for kick ball or two-hand touch football or whatever. That sucks man, it really does.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:40px;"><em>Whatever it is that happened to you, some things not to terribly different probably happened to me too. And maybe I didn’t end up with all your issues, but I’ve probably got plenty of my own that you either already took care of or never had to begin with.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:40px;"><em>I hope you have a good day and make kind choices. And please, let’s make a deal, just give Twitter a rest for a few hours and I’ll do the same with Facebook.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:40px;"><em>Best,</em><br />
<em>Ryan</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I can honestly say that that made me feel better. Why don’t you try it now?</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-540 aligncenter" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14.png" alt="flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14" width="355" height="73" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14.png 1600w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-300x62.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-1024x211.png 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-768x158.png 768w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/flourish-clipart-wiggly-line-14-1536x317.png 1536w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 355px) 100vw, 355px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Like I said before, I don’t think that rebuilding some sense of civility is the key to solving all of our problems as a country and species. I just think it’s a great place to start, and in the life and lessons of Mr. Rogers we have a great teacher to show us the way.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So what do you say — do y’all wanna keep slinging mud at each other and hitting ourselves upside the head, or do we want to start being unrelentingly kind, fiercely empathetic, and insistently intimate?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We all like Mr. Rogers, but do we like Rogerism?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Only Libertarian Position<em><br />
By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/sam-coppinger/">Sam Coppinger</a></em></h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-510" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/11same-here.png" alt="11Same here" width="1838" height="551" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Few issues provoke such strict battle lines to be drawn within the libertarian movement as the Electoral College. Moreover, unlike the few similarly-contentious topics, opinions on the Electoral College do not even seem to track to obvious differences in ideology or worldview (e.g. leftism vs. capitalism, incrementalism vs. vanguardism, moderation vs. radicalism, or even social progressivism vs. social conservatism). It seems odd there could simultaneously be strong libertarian arguments for both mutually exclusive sides of this single issue, but that’s because, simply put, there are not. Any “libertarian” argument in its favor is nothing more than a false or mistaken application of libertarian principles.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It must first be recalled that the libertarian ideology is built on the bedrock belief that all people, regardless of race, gender, national origin, physical and mental ability, or any other fundamental characteristic are inherently of equal metaphysical value. The very concept of natural, negative rights is derived from this belief — if it were not accepted that all people are equal simply by virtue of their personhood, there would be no rational argument that they all deserve the same rights. Such an assertion could still hypothetically be made, but it would have no concrete, logical basis, and would consequentially be vulnerable to perversion at any moment. With egalitarianism understood to be the most fundamental of all libertarian beliefs, one can also make the connection that libertarian ideology would dictate that the government always treat people equally, all else held constant. Clearly, such a demand would also logically preclude government from offering any kind of either preferential or discriminatory treatment on the basis of location of residence. From the perspective of the federal government, all United States citizens should be subject to the same laws and treatment regardless of state of residence. A New Yorker must be equal to a West Virginian; a Texan equal to a Vermonter. Under the Electoral College, this notion is plainly violated.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_521" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-521" style="width: 943px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-521 aligncenter" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/chart.png" alt="chart" width="943" height="639" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/chart.png 943w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/chart-300x203.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/chart-768x520.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 943px) 100vw, 943px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-521" class="wp-caption-text">This chart shows the ratio of population to electoral vote for each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia. As you can see, an individual’s vote in states further to the right on the graph (like Wyoming, Vermont, Delaware, etc.) has much more electoral weight than an individual’s vote in states to the left on the graph (like California, Texas, Florida, etc.).<br />(Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Electoral College system cares not for individuals, but for states — arbitrary political collectives which should carry little significance to anyone of the libertarian bent. Under the current system, states are awarded votes based on the sum total of the number of U.S. Senators and Representatives they have in Congress. This means that the smallest number of votes a state can possibly have is three. If we take the lowest population state, Wyoming, with an estimated residency of 580,000 people, this means there is one electoral vote for every approximately 193 thousand people. Contrast this with California, the most populous state, with 39.6 million people and 55 electoral votes, working out to one vote for every 720 thousand people. In terms of representation, this means that the voice of any singular Wyomingan is given nearly four times the weight of a Californian’s. Far from treating all people as equals, this system sees the federal government clearly play favorites on the basis of state origin. Such an arbitrary and disparate valuation of individual worth by the government should be utterly anathema to anyone who even dabbles with remotely libertarian thinking.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-510" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/11same-here.png" alt="11Same here" width="1838" height="551" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Through observation of popular discussion surrounding the Electoral College, two things become rapidly evident: firstly, that its support is heavily subsidized by the rural fetishism that deeply permeates American culture, and that most arguments against its abolition can ultimately be traced to nakedly partisan realpolitik. Visible across all manner of American media is a toxic tendency to associate rural, inland living with true Americanism, and urban, coastal living with illegitimacy, crime, dishonesty, collectivism, and other negative concepts. This can be seen in everything from Christmas movies where people in the big city “lose sight of what’s important” and end up “coming home” for the holidays to be with family, to country music that hails the Middle American “Heartland,” and more. There is most certainly a strong whiff of systemic racism and white supremacy to this phenomenon as well, but that may best left for another discussion.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-517 alignleft" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/sam_q1-1.png" alt="Sam_q1" width="334" height="382" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/sam_q1-1.png 434w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/sam_q1-1-263x300.png 263w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 334px) 100vw, 334px" />Regardless, this same mentality heavily fuels adoration for the Electoral College. When those who live in or near major coastal metropolises are seen as sub-American collective masses, and rural Americans in the breadbasket as the true heirs of the Founding Fathers’ vision, it becomes much easier to justify privileging the latter at the expense of the former. What makes it easier yet is when one perceives the former group to be little more than a pack of wild animals trying their damnedest to plunder the hard-earned wealth and eliminate the God-given freedoms of the latter. This is where the shameless partisanship imbued in the Electoral College debate begins to show itself. Much like how conservatives throughout history have defended gerrymandering, poll taxes, unnecessary voter ID laws, narrow voting time windows, land ownership requirements, and even blatant exclusions of the vote entirely to all but white men, they also defend the Electoral College on the basis that it restricts the power of those who they believe are likely to vote against their particular political interests. It is commonly (and wrongly, as will later be addressed) believed that were the Electoral College system to be abolished, only the few largest cities in the country would dominate presidential politics, and leverage that power to more or less enslave “real, hard-working” (rural, white, blue-collar) America in order to provide welfare and “free stuff” to those in the coastal cities (namely, people of color, immigrants, LGBT people, and the poor). It’s actually rather jarring how shameless conservatives are in their willingness to simply deny or restrict the franchise of people whom they prejudiciously expect to hold different values than themselves.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_513" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-513" style="width: 417px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-513" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/magnolia_minnesota_small_town_dirt_road_29688818602-e1580605049711.jpg" alt="Magnolia" width="417" height="684" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-513" class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO BY TONY WEBSTER (Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Such illiberal sentiment gets at another key element of why the Electoral College is such a travesty: it disgraces the very notion of democracy. Before getting into how this is the case, however, perhaps it may be necessary to establish why exactly one ought to care. It is worth at least acknowledging that, of course, democracy is not a flawless system by any stretch of the imagination. There is some validity to the old metaphor of two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner. Luckily, the American system of a constitutional republic certainly avoids, or at least places obstacles in the way of, some of the most dangerous aspects of democracy, like populist mob rule, under which the majority could simply vote to abolish all legal protections of the rights of minorities. That’s not remotely to say the rights guaranteed under the Constitution, especially those of marginalized people, have always been respected (local law enforcement looking the other way regarding lynchings in the Jim Crow South comes to mind…), but even so, having a concrete list of rights the government is even theoretically obligated to respect is tremendously important — and luckily there are groups like the ACLU which help people take action against the government when it oversteps its bounds. To get back to the primary topic at hand, though, the point is that having some form of democracy is utterly essential to maintaining an environment where anything even remotely resembling libertarianism can exist. If majority rule it can be used to trample on the rights of minorities, then minority rule is an evil so great it oughtn’t even need a description why. Despite its flaws, democracy is still indescribably preferable to all its alternatives (fascism, theocracy, communism, autocratic monarchy, etc.). Many libertarians frequently attack the notion of democracy for many of the aforementioned reasons, apparently failing to realize that, by doing so, they are only helping to pave the way for something immeasurably worse.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-510" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/11same-here.png" alt="11Same here" width="1838" height="551" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With a common understanding of democracy as a general good, or at least a flawed guardian against tremendously greater evils, it logically follows that that which harms democracy harms the defense against its evil alternatives. As addressed earlier, the Electoral College is precisely such a harm. Under the Electoral College system, the voice of the people is stifled, manipulated, and ignored in despicable ways utterly indefensible by any moral or rational being. It is currently mathematically possible for a president to be elected in the United States while winning less than 22% of the popular vote — and since less than have of eligible voter do, in fact, it is in turn possible to be elected president by the will of about 10% of the country. Now, the specific circumstances of this hypothetical scenario are extraordinarily unlikely, but the case study is nonetheless very effective at illustrating the problems of the Electoral College.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-507 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/sam_q2.png" alt="Sam_q2" width="1062" height="212" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Arguably the most egregious problem with the system is the winner-take-all element, which effectively silences the voices of everyone who dissents from even the narrow-majority opinion of the arbitrarily-defined state within which they live. A Republican voter in New York or a Democratic voter in West Virginia may as well not even submit a ballot in presidential elections, because their vote will undoubtedly be thrown aside once the vote total in each respective state inevitably runs blue and red.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_509" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-509" style="width: 315px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-509" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/1_times_square_night_2013-e1580605347934.jpg?w=315" alt="1_times_square_night_2013" width="315" height="560" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-509" class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO BY CHENSI YUAN (Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This result is the logical conclusion of a system which favors states over actual people, and highlights why that is such a poor manner in which to go about organizing an election. States are naught but landmasses whose borders are determined by conflicts, accords, and geographical features entirely irrelevant to the personhood of those who live within them, and should honestly have no significance in federal elections whatsoever. As far as the federal government is concerned, the people of the United States ought not to be considered Texans, Californians, Nebraskans, or Wisconsinites — all that should matter is that they are Americans. Any system of national election ought to be on the basis of individual votes, not collectivism which regards states as individuals in and of themselves. The voices of those who differ from the dominant preference of the region in which they reside should not be simply washed away. The irony is that the very majority rule which proponents of the Electoral College claim to fear is actually part and parcel of the Electoral College system, albeit on the state level.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-508 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2020/02/sam_q3.png" alt="Sam_q3" width="289" height="623" />The fear of tyranny by the majority also often leads many Electoral College defenders to claim any system based on people rather than landmasses would result in those in the few largest cities in the country essentially ruling over everyone else. Simply put, this characterization is spectacularly flawed on all counts—so much so, in fact, that it is difficult to even begin deconstructing it. Firstly, the assertion is just empirically false. The sum population of even the top five largest cities in the country (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Phoenix), by 2018 estimates, is about 19 million. Compare to the 2018 US population estimate of 327 million, and the proportion is a measly 5.81%. Even expanding to the top ten cities, and to metropolitan areas rather than just cities, the population total becomes about 87 million, or 26.6% of the country. A healthy chunk, to be sure, but still nowhere near enough to control an election alone. However, even more assumptions and nuances require attention. These numbers include children and immigrants, who obviously are not eligible to vote. They also neglect to consider that a majority of eligible American voters simply choose not to. There is also a baked-in assumption behind this claim that all people who live in cities will vote one way (namely, Democratic). In reality, obviously, cities are extremely diverse places with a broad range of political opinions and voting patterns.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With all these considerations in mind, even the 26.6% figure is a tremendous overestimate of the political influence of these areas. However, still none of this truly gets to the heart of the problem with this narrative, because even in the case that the statement was accurate, how would it be at all unjust that a larger amount of people have a larger say? Even if the US was a nation of gargantuan megacities, how would this change the basic libertarian, and moral, principle of one person, one vote? Even if 99% of the country’s population lived within a single square mile, it would still be the libertarian case to value all votes equally. It is not the distance away from others which determines people’s value, but the very fact that they are people.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the noblest intentions of the Electoral College system was the desire to prevent an illiberal, charismatic, populist strongman who could be backed by a foreign power from winning an election due to ignorance, naiveté, or misinformation on the part of the voters. It should take no more than a newspaper from November 9th, 2016 to prove that the Electoral College has completely and stupendously failed in this regard. Not only did it fail to prevent precisely this situation from occurring, but it actually caused it to occur when it otherwise would not have. Donald Trump lost the popular vote by the biggest margin ever for a winning presidential candidate (that such a concept even exists is an illustration of the absurdity of the system), and would not have been elected under a different electoral system. Far from restraining the fleeting will of a woefully misguided electorate, the Electoral College system ignored the will of the people and caused the election of the most corrupt, unpopular president in the history of the country.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The intentions of the Electoral College were undoubtedly noble and understandable from the perspective of a proponent of liberty. The Founding Fathers, despite their countless personal flaws and hypocrisies, were immensely brilliant statesmen, made crucial contributions to the liberal and libertarian philosophies, and crafted the most libertarian governing document ever written. However, they, like all human beings, were not beyond reproach, and the Electoral College was one of their many errors. The system fundamentally contradicts basic liberal values, makes a mockery of democracy, is propped up by collectivist, prejudicial, partisan sentiments, and has failed to perform the duty it was intended to. It is high time to do away with this archaic, unjust, failed system and begin the discussion as to what ought to replace it. A sheer popular vote, still under a plurality-based, first-past-the-post system, would be nearly as problematic as the current Electoral College, and should not be used, either. It would not produce a direct democracy, as many opponents ignorantly claim (direct democracy would mean abolition of the republic of elected representatives in favor of legislation via public referenda, which is not on the table in any case), but it would nonetheless continue to produce undesirable outcomes and fuel dangerous populism. Promising electoral systems may include ranked-choice, under which candidates of many parties are ranked by voters in order of preference, range, under which voters rate each candidate on a certain scale, or even approval, under which voters simply indicate in a binary manner whether they would approve of particular candidates or not. Any of these systems, and likely countless others, would solve nearly all problems of the Electoral College, in addition to providing other benefits such as a healthier and less polarized national political discourse, the alleviation of the political pendulum effect, under which elections become forms of increasingly-extreme revenge by one political party against the other, the growth of more than two parties as credible alternatives, and the possibility of more than one candidate per party to run, so that different visions within a party can compete with one another without causing total division among the party ranks. It’s time for the United States to let go of the past, honor its spoken values, and abolish the Electoral College</p>

<h2>The left has been suspicious of private property</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">since Pierre-Joseph Proudhon brazenly declared it to be nothing more than theft in 1840. His friend, Karl Marx, saw it as the root of capitalism’s exploitation, a superfluous invention of the bourgeoisie that would be dispensed with in the future. Anarchists’ generally see it as an agent of control. Even the most sympathetic socialists treat private property as a necessary evil. Those on the left who refuse to denounce private property are all-too-quickly labeled as faux-socialists, unwitting capitalist apologists, or even disingenuous counter-revolutionary agents.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On the right, private property rights are often so strongly enforced that they trump even the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Such a strong defense of private property is ironic, precisely because the justification for private property is typically based on “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”, especially the right to life. These “background rights” perform the justificatory work for private property rights.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I want to engage this conversation from a third direction. I want to begin from a neutral position, neither assured of private property’s virtue nor its defamation. To start, I think we need a tight definition of what private property is. Then, I think we need to explain the fact that so many independent societies throughout history have lighted on the idea of private property. What particular problem did property solve? Then can it be justified to the satisfaction of socialism? To avoid suspense, I’ll sum my conclusions now:</p>
<ol>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Private property is no different from personal property.</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Private property is common to many cultures because it solves the problem of how to divvy up the common world.</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Private property can be justified for socialists when it is based on the background right to life and the pursuit of happiness.</li>
</ol>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:left;">The distinguishing feature of Communism is not the abolition of property generally, but the abolition of bourgeois property. But modern bourgeois private property is the final and most complete expression of the system of producing and appropriating products, that is based on class antagonisms, on the exploitation of the many by the few. In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">– Karl Marx, <em>The Communist Manifesto</em>, Chapter 2</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There is, in the leftist tradition, an important metaphysical division of the concept of property. The first, largely implicit in Marx’s work, is the split between productive property and consumables. Marx paid little attention to the latter if he mentioned them at all. He, like all the great economists of his day, focused almost exclusively on the “means of production”. The productive property were the things you needed to produce consumables, which included the tools, machinery, and raw and pre-fabricated materials of which the consumable consisted. When Marx speaks of abolishing private property in the above quote, he intends only this productive property. He is also quick to defend the productive property of the “petty artisan and of the small peasant”, saying, “There is no need to abolish that; the development of industry has to a great extent already destroyed it and is still destroying it daily.” Marx is saying there is no need to abolish the camera of the photographer or the laptop of the freelance writer. So he means only the large-scale productive property, i.e. the factories, great machinery, and other types of great capital that requires a social body to utilize it. The consumable property goes by the name of “personal property” while the large-scale productive property goes by the name “private property”.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This division saves the left from the accusation that communism or socialism removes your right to use your tooth-brush exclusively. In other words, you have to share your tooth-brush with other people. This argument is devised to reduce socialism to absurdity. If you wouldn’t want to share your toothbrush, you couldn’t even share food-stuffs or water or air, at least not as you eat, drink, and breathe it. So it does make a compelling argument against which socialism must resolve. The division of property into personal and private is the traditional solution. However, the division of property introduces its own problems. The most important of these and the only one I will treat here is the indistinguishability of personal from private property.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-482 alignleft" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/charles_q2.png" alt="Charles_q2" width="435" height="266" />We can see the crack in precisely where Marx claimed there is no need to take away the private property of the individual proprietor. Here Marx is admitting that the tools of the individual crafter should belong to the individual crafter; their productive powers are thus not sufficient reason to socialize them. The common understanding is that it is then only those tools that require social operation which must be socialized–I am ignoring here a similar argument that certain types of property of, e.g. land, must be socialized irrespective of how it is used for the simple reason that Marx did not make this argument. The problem with the argument that only social operations must be socialized is that even socially operated machinery is individually exclusive as it is used. To make this concrete imagine an assembly line of ten persons. Each person has a specific spot on the line and performs their unique task. Each spot on the assembly line then may legitimately be conceived of as the exclusive property of the individual proprietor.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">While such a conception is dangerous because each individual proprietor, save the first and the last, would be faced with a monopoly on either side of themselves, that is a single provider of the materials they need to do their work and a single consumer of their finished product (viz. the unconsumable, partially-worked commodity). It is more harmonious to conceive of them as all part of a single entity, each cooperating rather than competing. Still, even under the auspice of cooperation, each has an exclusive need to be able to use their part of the whole. The right to exclude others from their part is no different for the workers on the assembly line than it is for the individual proprietor whom Marx exonerated from the abolition of private property. We have only two ways of resolving this inconsistency: either abolish all private property, including the photographer’s camera and the writer’s laptop or do away with the distinction between personal property and private property altogether. As we agreed above that the former is absurd, we are left only with the latter.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What does this mean? It means that we cannot, as Marx commands, abolish private property. This means that capital and capitalist can’t simply be dispensed with. This is not a vindication of capitalism, as those on the right would like to assert. While getting rid of capitalists is not an option, what is left open to us is the modification of what can and cannot be done with private property. That is precisely what the rights of property owners entails them to do. The rights of private property ownership have their limitations, even the most right-wing libertarian will agree. For example, your “right” to own a gun and your “right” to do with your private property as you please, cannot be combined to justify any homicide you may like to commit.</p>
<h2>What lies behind the left’s condemnation of private</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">property is the capitalist’s claim of a right to the surplus-value of a worker’s labor. This claim is justified, according to the apologists of capitalism, by the “ownership” of the means of production. Ownership then it is implied, entails the right to allow others to use said means to produce products for less than the value those products fetch at market. The chief problem the left has with private property then is that it can be used as a means for the exploitation of other people’s labor. Marx details of the process in the first volume of <em>Capital</em>. But even there, private property does not so much create the exploitation as it is simply the vehicle for it. Property relations are social relations, not between human beings and things, but between human beings and other human beings. This is what makes economics political in the first place.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-483 aligncenter" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/charles_q3.png" alt="Charles_q3" width="1150" height="206" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Given this, our question becomes: can the capitalist really justify the right from ownership? To answer this question we will need to examine what justifies private ownership in the first place. I’ll start with John Locke’s justification of private property. In brief, Locke argued that the private consumption of the material world was vital to every individual. We cannot consume in common, even if we produce that way. This makes private property necessary in order to be enjoyed. The question for Locke then became, how is it that I come to exclude the whole of humanity in order to enjoy this or that particular thing? Or more concretely, by what right do I pluck an apple from the common tree so that I may eat it and by eating it, exclude all others from its enjoyment? When did it become mine alone to enjoy? We all agree that after digestion, it is exclusively mine, but when did it first become so? He traces back the right to my act of plucking the apple. With this labor expenditure, I have the right to that apple. So, generalizing from this, it is my labor that makes things mine. Locke would go on to lay the foundations of the first labor theory of value, but it is his labor theory of property that concerns us. This theory is the basis of private property rights upon which capitalism is founded.</p>
<h2>Unfortunately for the bourgeoisie and Marx alike,</h2>
<p><figure id="attachment_496" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-496" style="width: 342px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-496" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/textile_machinery_at_cambrian_factory_llanwrtyd_1293993-e1580599635834.jpg" alt="Textile_machinery_at_Cambrian_Factory,_Llanwrtyd_(1293993)" width="342" height="447" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/textile_machinery_at_cambrian_factory_llanwrtyd_1293993-e1580599635834.jpg 545w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/textile_machinery_at_cambrian_factory_llanwrtyd_1293993-e1580599635834-230x300.jpg 230w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-496" class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO BY PERCY BENZIE ABERY (Wikimedia Commons). Textile factory machinery lays dormant in the Cambrian Factory. Such machinery qualifies as “private property” due to the social operation required to use it, whereas the clothes the machinery workers wore would be “personal property”.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">the private property right established by Locke is not one based solely upon labor. Labor identifies which particular things are justified, but it does so under the pretense that we are going to use them. Locke himself said that one cannot claim a thing, merely to deprive others of its enjoyment. Ultimately then, it is the need to eat, in conjunction with the labor of plucking that justifies my claim to the apple and so the right to exclude the rest of humanity from the apple’s enjoyment.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Marx misses this. Elaborating in <em>Capital</em> that the value of commodities comes entirely from the labor required to produce them. We may deduce from this that the justification for using commodities according to Marx would come entirely from having labored to acquire a thing, either by producing it or trading “dead labor” for it. Use, the consumption element of commodities, plays little to no role in Marx, who argued that either goods and services have a use-value or they do not, there are no quantifiable degrees of use-value. Equally, there would be no reasoning for use in owning, only labor. For Marx ownership is derived merely from labor and trade.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-484 alignleft" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/charles_q4.png" alt="Charles_q4" width="450" height="222" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/charles_q4.png 1056w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/charles_q4-300x148.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/charles_q4-1024x506.png 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/charles_q4-768x380.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" />But no one asserts this claim more than the bourgeoisie. The capitalist claim of ownership is justified entirely by the idea of labor exchanged for a good. That Marx and capitalism agree so completely on this subject is the greatest tragedic irony of the post-enlightenment history. Locke, as I said, founded the labor theory of property and of value on the unquestionable human need to consume individually. Labor alone is therefore insufficient to justify ownership of anything, and correspondingly, it is insufficient to justify the total value of anything. We lack the consumptive side, the input of use-value. This is where Marx made his most fatal error. He said that “use” could not be counted in the final estimation of value. He assumed more than argued that “use” has no quantifiable value because it is a quality, i.e. things either have a use-value or they do not. This is wrong.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Use-value, it turns out, <em>is</em> quantifiable, and what is more, it is quantifiable in units of labor. I have made the argument for use-values quantifiability before (see <a href="http://charlesmrupert.com/2017/10/29/the-genius-and-folly-of-karl-marx/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Genius and Folly of Karl Marx, Part Two</a>). What is confusing for us is that the labor-units for use-value are inverted from units of labor in exchange. They act like negative numbers to positive ones, so that use-value functions more like “labor saved” while an exchange-value represents “labor expended”. For example, to make a hammer, it might take X amount of total (socially-necessary) labor to produce and bring the hammer to market, this–according to Marx–would be the hammer’s value, assuming there was someone out there with a use for a hammer. However, this is just the minimum that the hammer’s manufacturer would want to sell it for, it does not represent the value of the hammer to the user. The final value is how much labor it saves its consumer over the amount of labor that consumer would have to shell out for it. A hammer’s cost then is subjectively determined by the consumer, not by the producer, and it is never objectively derived as Marx hoped to prove.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-494" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/918px-karl_marx_por_openclipartvectors.svg_.png" alt="918px-Karl_Marx_por_OpenClipartVectors.svg" width="918" height="1024" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/918px-karl_marx_por_openclipartvectors.svg_.png 918w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/918px-karl_marx_por_openclipartvectors.svg_-269x300.png 269w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/918px-karl_marx_por_openclipartvectors.svg_-768x857.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 918px) 100vw, 918px" /></p>
<h2>But all is not lost for Marx, because both use-value and</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">exchange-value are determined as units of labor. In other words, labor remains the sole source of value for everything in exchange, just as Marx said. Private property becomes justifiable in the twin aspects of labor: labor-spent and labor-saved. I ignore here a metaphysical discussion of labor-saved, except to say that Marx himself saw labor-saved as the “value of capital”. It was the private aspect of capital that Marx and the left railed against. The “means of production” of which most capital consists is problematic only when in private hands.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_499" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-499" style="width: 280px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-499" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/john_locke_by_sir_godfrey_kneller_bt-e1580600431570.jpg" alt="John_Locke_by_Sir_Godfrey_Kneller,_Bt" width="280" height="371" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/john_locke_by_sir_godfrey_kneller_bt-e1580600431570.jpg 1527w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/john_locke_by_sir_godfrey_kneller_bt-e1580600431570-226x300.jpg 226w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/john_locke_by_sir_godfrey_kneller_bt-e1580600431570-772x1024.jpg 772w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/john_locke_by_sir_godfrey_kneller_bt-e1580600431570-768x1018.jpg 768w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/john_locke_by_sir_godfrey_kneller_bt-e1580600431570-1158x1536.jpg 1158w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-499" class="wp-caption-text">John Locke, painted by SIR GODFREY KNELLER (Wikimedia Commons).</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This, however, is where libertarian socialism breaks with Marxism. It is not the private nature of the ownership of the “means of production” that is the problem. The problem is the fact that capitalists are not and never were the rightful owners of them. Capitalism is contradictory because it violates the justification for private property ownership established by Locke. Capitalists maintain their claim to rightful ownership through the justification of expenditure of labor, but since they have neither the desire nor a possibility of using the “means of production” exclusively their claim of ownership over them is wholly unjustified. It is, in fact, the workers and ONLY the workers who can meet both necessary conditions for ownership. First, they do have an exclusive need of the materials in question, and second, they (through the extraction of surplus-labor) have paid for them. This argument holds true for other forms of “rent”, for example, the tenant who uses the house has the priority claim to ownership of the house if they pay rent.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-485 alignright" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/charles_q5.png" alt="Charles_q5" width="376" height="470" />What is exploitative about capitalism is that the rightful owners of the means of production are not the “legal owners” according to the political structures drafted by capitalists. The inherent villainy of private property is a Marxist red herring, no pun intended. The upshot of this concept of private property is that we have a clear path and reason for removing capitalism’s exploitative element. It will require workers to become the rightful owners of the enterprises in which they work, as is suggested by Dr. Richard Wolff. But it goes beyond just that, it will require the abolition of the form of rent everywhere in society, except where the rentee is the public. It will also require a guarantee of income, but for reasons that are not expressly clear here. But that is all. We needn’t abandon private property nor do we need outlandish distinctions, (e.g. private property vs. personal property or labor vs. “socially necessary” labor) that prove only necessary to bolster the failings in Marx’s theory. The solution is more simple and more elegant, ownership of property is the right of the people who need it, who use it, and who paid for it; and not the state, the community, the government, or investors.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;">Religious Freedom in America<br />
<em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/hodey-johns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hodey Johns</a></em></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The very first part of this very first Amendment states: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Of all of the rights deemed untouchable by government within the Bill of Rights, this was deemed the most important right of all, even before speech and press. But in spite of its founding, the United States did not become a place of freedom for believers until recently. This unparalleled strength was not handed to us, it came through bloodshed, martyrdom, and massacres.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In this article, I will examine the journey of several religions within the USA, complete with some of their darkest moments. I offer up these historical situations not to criticize this country, but to praise it. The pioneers of this nation navigated uncharted waters, both literally and figuratively, especially in the religious sense. They did not do so perfectly, but it was during a time in world history where believing in a non-state-sanctioned faith meant certain death. Americans made mountains of life from these valleys of death.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-453" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h1.png" alt="Hodey_H1" width="554" height="233" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h1.png 1198w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h1-300x126.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h1-1024x431.png 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h1-768x323.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Contrary to the coloring books you might get in Elementary School, there is not one single belief system that was held by the natives who lived here. There were thousands. I hate grouping them all together as they each are worthy of study, but I put them together for a noble reason. When one was put on trial, members of the various indigenous faiths banded together to fight against oppression.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In spite of Constitutional protection, the collection of Native American faiths was almost immediately illegalized. How could this happen? Simply, because they were not considered Americans. And it was assumed that those who became official citizens would implicitly give up their beliefs. The punishment for believing in this religion? Death. More accurately, since practicing an illegal faith nullified citizenship, government protections would not apply.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The result? Countless massacres. Literally countless, since killing them neither merited legal reporting nor demands for explanation. On the record, there are well over one hundred incidents of round-’em-up-shoot-’em-dead mass murders, almost all of which include women and children and number in the double digits.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But initially, even with this bloodshed, it wasn’t enough to just illegalize the religion inside of the borders. In 1883, the Department of the Interior successfully argued that the persecution of the faithful wasn’t enough. Citing a few prayers in which the believers asked that white people leave the land, they were deemed a foreign threat and actively hunted. Even in their own reservation, practicing any native faith was met with state sanctioned violence.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On the Hopi Reservation, since wearing long hair was a sign of thankfulness to the divine for falling rain, it was mandated that their warriors have haircuts. On all reservations, ceremonial face painting was banned on pain of death. The following is an actual quote from the Commissioner of Indian Affairs:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“The use of this paint leads to many disease of the eyes among those Indians who paint. Persons who have given considerable thought and investigation to the subject are satisfied that this custom causes the majority of cases of blindness among the Indians of the United States.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This type of misinformation was met with deadly force supported by the public at large, usually resulting in between twenty and two hundred natives being tied up and executed. In December of 1890, it all came to a head. On the heels of two large massacres already that month, the Lakota natives, a mixture of Miniconjou, Hunkpapa, Paiute, and Sioux, participated in the Ghost Dance. The dance was performed around a campfire with the hopes of making the whites leave them alone. The result was the opposite.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On December 29th, 1890, the United States Army rounded up around 250 natives of Lakota, mostly women and children, slaughtered them, and buried them in mass. Proudly, the attackers took a picture of the aftermath, which I have included with this article.</p>

Such devastating massacres were horrifically common and performed by both state agents and groups of vigilante civilians.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This picture should break your heart. This is what it did for thousands of United States citizens. While it was meant to be a trophy for an accomplishment, colonial descendants saw, many for the first time, what killing people for their faith really looked like. The army tried to call it the Battle of Wounded Knee. The people that paid their salaries correctly called it the Wounded Knee Massacre.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-473 alignright" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/hodey_q1.png" alt="Hodey_q1" width="352" height="401" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/hodey_q1.png 580w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/hodey_q1-264x300.png 264w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 352px) 100vw, 352px" />While not enamored with the natives, the people still demanded a stop to these actions. By 1892, while Native American religions were still against the law, it was no longer lawful to murder their ranks. And while the practitioners could be jailed, that required a trial. Trials are more expensive than bullets, and so many were finally free to practice their faiths without must reprisal for the first time. The Wounded Knee Massacre was horrifying. But it marked the beginning of an end. After that day, only one other massacre ever occurred in the USA and even that massacre was minimal in casualties and completely unsanctioned.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Those who are on the inside of the fight to legalize recreational drugs know of the contributions the native faiths have had in this fight. Peyote, a spineless cactus used in religious ceremonies by several different tribes, was given an exemption 1994. Naturally, it wasn’t long until marijuana advocates used this amendment in court to represent other exemptions. Drug legalization, if it happens, on the rare occasions it happens, owes its origin to the fight of the practicing natives.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In spite of the positive momentum, it wasn’t until 1978 that these religions become officially legal. Prior to that, conviction meant up to 30 years in prison. It took over 150 years of peace between the two sides to put an end to the bloodshed. There is work to do. Thankfully, this work continues to get done and indications are almost entirely positive.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-454" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h2.png" alt="Hodey_H2" width="478" height="204" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h2.png 1157w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h2-300x128.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h2-1024x437.png 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h2-768x328.png 768w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h2-1102x473.png 1102w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The right to believe also includes the right to not believe… doesn’t it? It should. But in practice, it did not until recently. Thomas Paine, a founding father, was a noted atheist, but had to keep this a secret from the public. Most of his public speeches and writings mention God, masking his true beliefs for fear of reprisal.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I am already sure several atheists are going to be upset with me including them in this study. But I mean no harm or insult. Even if they do not consider themselves a faith with any distinguishable practices, their struggles and successes have contributed to the framework of religious freedom in this country. And it is in that dimension that I observe their contribution to our both current state and future.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Specifically, one legal case represented a major win for atheists, but it also furthered religious freedom and weakened judicial prejudice. While many have not heard of <em>The State of Tennessee versus John Thomas Scopes</em>, any English Major has likely been required to read “Inherit the Wind,” the play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee. While the narrative was fictionalized, the sensationalization of the event is certainly warranted.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Mr. Scopes never spoke at his own trial, as the trial itself outgrew him pretty quickly. His crime? Teaching Darwin’s <em>Origin of Species</em> on top of the mandated reading of “Genesis” (from <em>The Bible</em>). Such teachings were directly opposed to the curriculum. The two biggest names in the field of lawyers picked up opposite sides of the case and the nation was treated to a showdown between Clarence Darrow for the defense and William Jennings Bryan for the prosecution.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bryan had the popular position. His position was also enviable because Scopes himself made no effort to refute the allegations against him. In essence, he confessed his guilt immediately, but he took issue with a sentence. Yet Darrow was cunning. After losing public confidence, he called Bryan, the prosecutor, to the stand. Bryan, perhaps out of either duty or hubris, accepted. A picture of this exact moment is available with this article. Citing the heat in the courtroom, you might notice that this trial took place outdoors. However, the more likely explanation is that neither lawyer was opposed to the spotlight. But I digress.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On the stand, Darrow managed to get Bryan to admit that, since the sun was not around, who could say how long the “days” were in which God created the universe? Bryan admitted it perhaps could have been a few minutes extra and Darrow capitalized on the mistake. If a few extra minutes could have slipped in, why not a few extra eons?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-474 alignleft" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/hodey_q2.png" alt="Hodey_q2" width="427" height="356" />The biggest success was that while the court found Scopes guilty, the jury nullified his sentence. The judge still fined him $100, but it set a precedent. Now, those with alternative views in regards to creation and the origin of humanity were free to teach these alternatives without risking time in jail. And going through a massive trial for a small fine was such a waste that the ruling, in essence, legalized these teachings.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The victories keep coming. Atheists, like many other religions in the USA, still have a ways to go. The good news is that this progress has not stopped. In 1994, Supreme Court Justice David Souter ruled that “government should not prefer one religion to another, or religion to irreligion.” While not enforced, seven states still have laws prohibiting atheists from holding public office or being used as a witness. It is only a matter of time, it seems, before these trivial laws and this black stain on our history will be erased forever.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-455" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h3.png" alt="Hodey_H3" width="515" height="228" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h3.png 1080w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h3-300x133.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h3-1024x453.png 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h3-768x340.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Even Christian denominations were not friendly with one another for a majority of our country’s existence. Aside from Roger Williams and his small Rhode Island, all of the other early American colonies were established and divided based on specific religious persuasion. And while all of these were offshoots of Christianity, that did not prevent outright hostilities and violence between these factions. Scholars looking into the numbers of the Constitutional Convention find it evident that even the founders were aware that the fledgling nation was not opposed so much about the size and scope of government as they were opposed to religious unity.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The reader has likely covered these quarrels in a history class. Thanks in large part to the leadership and persuasion of the founding fathers, an unsteady truce took place in the aftermath of the American Revolutionary War. But there were other denominations still to come that were not lucky enough to have a Thomas Jefferson, a James Madison, or an Alexander Hamilton speak on their behalf and make peace with the rest.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mormons were unfortunate to have the ultra-controversial Joseph Smith as their founder and eventual martyr. While details of his death remain clouded, the Illinois Governor Thomas Ford did not mince words when asked about protecting him or any other Mormons. He remarked that they “…expect more protection from the laws than the laws are able to furnish in the face of popular excitement.” In short, since enough people want them dead, it’s open season.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Unlike some religious minorities before this time, where killing a follower of the faith was merely permissible, Missouri actually issued Executive Order 44, demanding the wholesale murder of Mormon practitioners “on sight.” This fell out of favor, of course, but was not rescinded actually until 1976, not coincidentally, the same year the Native Americans saw their faiths become legalized.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It was not until settlers taking offshoots along the Oregon trail were forced to do business with the Mormons that the faith regained legitimacy. The passengers found that the hospitality from this group contradicted the media’s portrayal of barbarism.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I have submitted some anti-Mormon political cartoons from the time in the hopes that you will observe them and see similarities to other marginalized persons today. It might have made for a good laugh back then, but it resulted in a great deal of agony. Mormonism has recovered well, becoming the fastest growing religion in the world in several recent years, so it is with pride that we can anticipate closing this dark chapter.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Catholics didn’t fair too much better. While they dodged much of the murder of some other religions in the USA, they remained largely discriminated against for longer periods of time. While the Mormons fled persecution to the west, the Catholic movement had a different plan. They began to cohabitate and socialize with their enemies. Most Protestant schools received funding for their schools from taxpayers. This method of finance was declined to Catholic parochial schools. Instead of throwing in the towel, Catholics raised the money themselves.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The anti-black movement, having been instrumental in overthrowing Joseph Smith’s faction due to his belief that no man, including black men, should be held in slavery, turned its wrath on Catholicism soon after, who actively allowed black men in their ranks. I have included two cartoons from the era. One shows not only propaganda against Catholics, but black men within their ranks in. The other shows the grasp of Rome as an ape arm. By the end of the 1920s, these objectors called themselves the Klu Klux Klan and were louder than ever.</p>

</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Catholics matched that volume. In 1925, they boldly built the <em>Church of the Little Flower</em> in one of the largest Protestant areas of the United States; Royal Oak, Michigan. Within two weeks, the KKK had burned the cross on their front lawn. The Church erected a new cross. And the KKK burned that down. The congregation kept replacing that cross until 1936 when the entire Church was burned down. Astonishingly, the Church was rebuilt, with each piece used in the construction being made fireproof. Having weathered the storm, the Church topped off their building with a “cross they could not burn.” In defeat, the KKK stopped after failing to be able to burn either the Church or the cross.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Having lived side-by-side with Catholics for decades, the country finally welcomed John F. Kennedy as the first Catholic president in 1960. Unable to make the stigma about their beliefs stick, religious freedom won out over racism. There have been hiccups, to be sure. The Affordable Care Act directly attacked Catholic practices, but the ability to unify with other denominations has resulted in even these relatively new persecutions to be largely exempted.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-475 aligncenter" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/hodey_q3.png" alt="Hodey_q3" width="1486" height="472" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/hodey_q3.png 1486w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/hodey_q3-300x95.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/hodey_q3-1024x325.png 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/hodey_q3-768x244.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1486px) 100vw, 1486px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">While not a traditionally western religion, Sikhism is the ninth largest religion in the world. The adherents are required to carry a small dagger called a Kirpan with them, due to religious remembrance. Though an extremely small minority here in the United States, they led a significant boycott against all air travel for forcing them to violate their faith while on a flight.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As a testament to their commitment, in 2013 the TSA exempted this religious artifact from the standard ban. This decision has led to multiple liberty-minded challenges, including the right to defend yourself while travelling and the right to wear religious garments privately through checkpoints. Classically wearing a traditional turban, Sikhs are under a great deal of scrutiny, especially during air travel. But by reaching out to other religious and political minorities who wear or carry items of intimate and religious nature, they gained victory for more than just themselves.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-456" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h4.png" alt="Hodey_H4" width="411" height="214" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h4.png 547w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/hodey_h4-300x156.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 411px) 100vw, 411px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-weight:400;">I can’t possibly cover the contributions of all religions in one article. I regret not including Shintoism and Judaism with their struggles to be recognized and how their successes have helped us all. Protestants are not the villains here and they find themselves on the forefront of the revolution today in respect to Church property and taking care of the homeless on their terms. </span><span style="font-weight:400;">Author Irving Dilliard said, “Jehovah’s Witnesses have done more to help preserve our freedoms than any other religious group.” </span><span style="font-weight:400;">Please accept my regrets that I can’t fit in more. As I finish this piece, I feel akin to a man who has already overeaten at a buffet and then sees something else he desperately wants to consume. Even the examples I mentioned here deserve further exploration, but an overview will have to suffice</span><span style="font-weight:400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight:400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight:400;">The United States is among the most religiously tolerant countries on earth. We did not get here for free. And while there is much work to be done (we regularly rank outside of the top 20 most tolerant countries) in the area of religious freedom, we are the ones to look up to.</span><span style="font-weight:400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight:400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight:400;">Much of the story of America is a story about freedom slowly eroding in the courts and by public demand. Fortunately for us, religion has been a single, but major exception. This is not just food for thought or fun facts. By using religious freedom, other freedoms are taking shape in the form of the drug war weakening, privacy protections increasing, school choice strengthening, family rights expanding, and more.</span><span style="font-weight:400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight:400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight:400;">In a non-religious context, these fights are not doing particularly well. Yet when religion is involved, Americans find themselves winning fights for those of every religious and non-religious persuasion. Perhaps unaware, when we accept those of different faiths and learn more about them, we do substantial damage to tyranny at large. The most oppressive governments in the history of the planet have either mandated only a single religion or none at all. Religious liberty may never set us completely free, but it keeps even the worst of tyrants in check.</span></p>

<p>Jennifer McCloud (SVP & Chief Advancement Officer) and Jessica Ledesma (Match Specialist) of the Starfish Initiative join Chris Spangle to discuss their work connecting economically disadvantaged youth with mentors that will help scholars develop in the area of college readiness/Access, career exploration, and character. Visit their website at <a href="https://www.starfishinitiative.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.starfishinitiative.org/</a>.</p>
<h3>About The Starfish Initiative</h3>
<p>Starfish Initiative is a college access and readiness program serving economically disadvantaged high school students in Marion County, Indiana.</p>
<p>We believe that mentoring is the key to improving the educational attainment and future of today’s youth. To that end, we match every student in the Starfish program with a college-educated, volunteer adult mentor whose job is to help walk their student into college. Thanks to the guidance of their mentors, 100 percent of the Starfish Scholars who completed the four-year program have graduated from high school and 98% have been accepted by colleges or universities across Indiana — and beyond.</p>
<p>Starfish was founded in 2003 by a group of local businessmen, concerned that many of the academically promising but economically disadvantaged students in Indianapolis were not getting the preparation for post-secondary education they needed to be the future leaders of the community. They founded Starfish Initiative — the name taken from the famous “Starfish Story” — to help economically disadvantaged students. Currently, Starfish serves approximately 425 students in 45 public, private, charter and magnet high schools.</p>
<h3>About the Show</h3>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/ryan-lindsey/">Ryan Lindsey</a><br />
</em>(Letter from the Editor for <a href="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2020/01/walreaderissueiii.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Issue III</a>)</h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I owe all of this magazine’s readers an apology. I let the tentative quarterly schedule for <em>WAL Reader</em> fall apart,and the original October 2019 release date for this issue has long since passed. I apologize for not publishing this issue before now. I had several personal and professional events occur that limited my time to work on this, and once most of that was cleared up, the Holidays were here. I’m not trying to make excuses, but I am trying to reassure you that the tardiness of this issue is not something that I expect to happen again (at least not to this extent).</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_441" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-441" style="width: 262px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-441" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/lindsey-3-e1580505736797.jpg?w=262" alt="Lindsey 3" width="262" height="319" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/lindsey-3-e1580505736797.jpg 1689w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/lindsey-3-e1580505736797-246x300.jpg 246w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/lindsey-3-e1580505736797-840x1024.jpg 840w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/lindsey-3-e1580505736797-768x937.jpg 768w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/lindsey-3-e1580505736797-1259x1536.jpg 1259w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/lindsey-3-e1580505736797-1679x2048.jpg 1679w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-441" class="wp-caption-text">WAL Reader is back after an extended break. Thank you for your patience and for reading the brilliant submissions in Issue III!</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I also owe an apology to the contributors for this issue. They wrote brilliant pieces for this issue and met their deadlines, and I feel as though I did not keep up my end of the bargain with them. Please do not let this keep you from contributing in the future – your writings are truly appreciated. Speaking of contributions and this issue, that is another reason why this is being published so much later than expected – several of the contributors from the first two issues were unable to write for this one. Additionally, I think the theme of trying to point out some of the good things about America and our government turned a lot of people off. While that is understandable (especially considering the mostly-libertarian pool that our contributors come from), it is unfortunate. I think trying to appreciate the good things that have happened and are still going on is something that most of us (especially libertarians) could be much better at. It<br />
was difficult to get people to write for this theme, and thus I kept delaying this issue in hopes of attracting more contributions that never came.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">All that being said, while this issue is significantly less in quantity than the previous issues have been, I do not think that the quality of the content has gone down – if anything, it’s improved. I am excited to have this issue finally released, and think that all the articles in here are well worth the time to read with perspectives ranging from a libertarian-socialist to a neoliberal and subjects going from religious liberty to Mr. Rogers.</p>
<h2>One Last Apology (For Now, At Least)</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There’s an article form the last issue of WAL Reader that I regret publishing, and if I could go back I would not include it. I want to make that clear here and now and explain my reasoning for this.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If you’ll recall, the theme of Issue II was “immigration”. I am still immensely proud of that issue as a whole and love the wide variety of libertarian thought on the matter that was presented. That being said, I think that the article titled “Must Libertarians Believe in Open Borders?” went to far. I knew that this was a right-leaning article (you could probably gather that from the title alone), but in hindsight, I believe that it made several claims that and assertions that are far more based on xenophobia, right-wing talking points, and a sense of Euro-centrism/supremacy than they are in thoughtful, libertarian discourse. Blatantly comparing refugees (created by Western imperialism) to “invaders” crosses a line that I am not willing to cross, even with my commitment to intellectual diversity.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-442 alignright" src="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/letter_q1.png" alt="Letter_q1" width="430" height="211" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/letter_q1.png 632w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/letter_q1-300x147.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px" />I realized this regret after the shooting at the El Paso WalMart last summer. When it came out that the shooter was motivated by a hatred for Hispanics and immigrants, and inspired by language referring to immigration as an invasion, I couldn’t help but see the similarities between the shooter’s stated influences and the article I had published. I never want to be in that situation again.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">While I remain dedicated to intellectual diversity and largely opposed to “cancel culture”, I equally remain dedicated to decency and anti-racism/anti-xenophobia. I don’t want it ever to be said that something I publish inspired or fostered a sense of hatred for others. I’m afraid that “Must Libertarians Believe in Open Borders?” might have done that.</p>
<h2>The Future of <em>WAL Reader</em></h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">One of the bright sides of <em>WAL Reader</em>‘s unintentional sabbatical is that it provides me with an opportune time to… reset the magazine. I’ve learned a lot from organizing and writing for and publishing these last three issues: what works well and what doesn’t; what part of the process I enjoy and what parts I trudge through; what content resounds with readers and what seems to fall flat; what parts of running a magazine I am good at and what parts of it I am not.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I want to be pushing out more content on a regular basis. The nature of a quarterly magazine makes it difficult to write about current events, especially given that the news cycle refreshes so incredibly rapidly. It also makes it hard to maintain a connection with an audience, when new content is only being delivered once every few months. I want to increase the use of the magazine’s website. I would love to put something out on that site at least weekly, allowing us to reflect more on current events as they happen. I am also going to try and do better about using our social media to better connect with our readers.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The scope of <em>WAL Reader</em> needs to change. On a personal level, my interests have shifted greatly in the past year from political theory to religion, history, arts, and ideas. If I am going to continue running this publication (and enjoying myself while I do), I need to be able to shift the focus of the magazine to match my shift in interests. This is not to say that I’m not going to accept contributions relating to politics, or government, or economic theory – on the contrary, I welcome them! – but I will not personally be so focused on producing or recruiting content like that. I want the magazine to include more book reviews, more reflections on history, more creative pieces. I want the magazine to still be open to a wide range of libertarian thought, but I want to open it up to more ways of thinking as well.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">To reflect this change in focus, the magazine’s name will be changing with the next publication. I want this magazine to be a bullhorn for voices and opinions that go beyond or against the political, social, religious, and economic orthodoxies of society at large and the libertarian movement – to be heretics. Come the next issue, <em>WAL Reader</em> will be ending but it will also be reborn as <em>Heretic</em>. (More information on this will be posted on our social media and website in in the weeks leading up to <em>Heretic</em> Issue I.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I want <em>Heretic</em> to reflect everything that has gone well with <em>WAL Reader</em> but to also reflect several changes for the better. I don’t want to rush this project, but I feel certain that it will be worth the wait.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts, Chris Guffey is the producer!</p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/162" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/162</a></p>
<p>State Representative Tom Saunders joins us for our annual Statehouse update.<br />
He introduced five bills this year, we discuss each of them. Ranging from a bil that would require governments to offer owned parcels to adjoining residents. A bill that would eliminate straight ticket voting in Indiana (Only 8 states still have it). And a bill that would affect the who can serve on local planning commissions.</p>
<p>Tom also serves on the Roads and Transportation committee. There is a bill moving through the statehouse that will eliminate all handheld devices starting July 1st. No more texting, talking on handset, using apps, or websites while driving. There is also a possibility of cameras being installed in construction zones to enforce existing laws.</p>
<p>We also dig into the results of the #RedForEd rally and what steps have been taken to respond to their requests. </p>
<p>Finally, Indiana second amendment groups have been getting traction following Senator Greg Taylor’s filing of a bill restricting gun sales to those 21 and over, limiting magazines to 10 rounds, and banning bump stops.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I’ll keep it short and sweet this week… today I’m joined by Joe Hauptmann, who is the former Chair of the Libertarian Party of Indiana and current campaign manager for Dr. Jo Jorgensen. </p>
<p>Dr. Jo Jorgensen was the Libertarian Party Vice-Presidential Nominee with Harry Browne in 1996. </p>

<p>In 1992, she was the Libertarian Party’s candidate for South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District. After a statewide televised debate with her Democratic and Republican opponents, Dr Jorgensen’s debate performance was widely praised in the media, and the Greenville News referred to her as “a rose between two thorns”.</p>

She graduated in 1979 from Baylor University with a B.S. in Psychology and in 1980 from Southern Methodist University with an M.B.A.</p>
<p>After earning her M.B.A., she put her education to work as a Marketing Representative for IBM. Relocating to Greenville, SC in 1983, she started her own software sales business.After taking a break to be a stay-at-home mom for her two children, she joined a software duplicating company as part owner, later taking over as president and full owner. She founded a business consulting company in 2002 and continues working with select clients.</p>
<p>Dr. Jo Jorgensen is a Life Member of the Libertarian Party. She supported Ed Clark for president in 1980 and has been voting Libertarian ever since. She officially joined the Libertarian Party in 1983 and has served as Greenville County chair, state vice-chair, and national marketing director for the Libertarian Party.</p>

<p>We chat with newly appointed County Councilwoman Betsy Mills and current Coroner candidate Stacey Guffey. We talk about what the council is doing to bring a new jail to the county, will it be in a different location, how would it affect downtown New Castle, what would replace the old jail? Talks of a possible brewery coming to the old location?<br />
Stacey Guffey tells us about his role in the community as an SRO (Student Resource Officer) at Tri HIgh, formerly being the Henry County Coroner, and his plans as he seeks a new term in county government. Stacey tells all on how to get out of parking and speeding tickets in Sulphur Springs.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s hard to imagine, but we’re just 10 months or so away from the 2020 election.  Wild, isn’t it?  With the Democratic Debates seemingly taking the national conversation towards the brink of outright socialism, and Trump deciding whether or not to start World War III (I’m kidding of course… right?), it seems that most Americans are searching for a candidate that they can support that, well, isn’t as crazy as everyone else.</p>
<p>It’s why candidates like Mike Bloomberg have essentially decided to spend a substantial fortune on trying to win the presidency, and why the Libertarian Party has an absolutely epic opportunity to win over some hearts and minds by being the adult in the room.</p>
<p>But the real question for the Libertarian Party is, well, will the be the adults in the room?</p>
<p>That’s why I’m joined today by Elaine Joan, who is an independent campaign consultant and widely known political commentator, “Libertarian Redhead”, who helps me break down some of the problems in Libertarian candidacies past, how Libertarian campaigns can catch on in the future, and which candidates seeking the Libertarian Party nomination can lead the LP to the most success in 2020</p>
<p>If you’re considering running for elected office as a Libertarian, then please consider this as a complimentary consulting session between two seasoned political veterans (tips are appreciated in the form of shares, reviews, and Patreon support).</p>
<p>Bio: Elaine Joan is an independent campaign consultant and political commentator; you may know her as Libertarian Redhead on Facebook and Twitter. She has previously been a Libertarian Party of Tennessee Executive Committee member. She has a track record for lobbying legislative issues like 3rd party ballot access, ending the death penalty, and civil asset forfeiture. In 2018 she took a position as the Data Director for Elect Liberty PAC during the midterm elections in New Mexico and she is currently working with Voice for America PAC in Indianapolis.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With commentators proclaiming that World War III is just around the corner due to increasing tensions between the United States and Iran, the United States’ foreign policy is at the forefront of the national conversation.  With conservative pundits like Ben Shapiro singing the praises of President Trump’s more hawkish approach to the increasing tensions with Iran (which Shapiro has seemingly toned down in recent days), I thought it would be a great opportunity to have a former self-described “neocon” who ended up becoming a “foreign policy realist” on the show to discuss their own personal growth and change of mindset.</p>
<p>Joining the show is Pratik Chougule.  Chougule is a researcher at Boston College’s Center for International Higher Education, where he is writing a book about American universities in the greater Middle East.  He was previously an executive editor at The American Conservative and managing editor at The National Interest.  During the 2016 election cycle, Chougule served as policy coordinator on the presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee.  From 2008-2009, Chougule was a George W. Bush appointee at the State Department in the Office of the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security.  Chougule graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Brown University and holds a JD from Yale Law School.</p>
<p>Listen as Chougule discusses his take on foreign policy, his critiques of the traditional neocon/hawkish foreign policy, the rising tensions of Iran, and finally his perspective of where the world stands after the 2020 election with regards to foreign relations and policy.</p>

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>
<p>Go to https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow and become a member today, and join me in making the LP the very best it can be!</a></li>

<p>It is a host only episode. Talking about the changes in “vice laws”. Under the cover of impeachment darkness, the federal government snuck changing the tobacco age from 18 to 21 into a “must pass”  spending bill. Without real detail, the FDA changed the rules, without grandfathering in those who were already legal. Mason Rottinghaus reports his troubles.</p>
<p>Illinois just legalized marijuana, Indiana has table games and dealers at the Racinos, including our neighboring Anderson casino. Massive regulation just came down on the vape community, but local mom and pops were carved out.<br />
Mayor Pete called decriminalizing all drugs. Quite an interesting week for personal liberty.</p>
<p>Chase Peyton, and Chris Guffey are finally facebook friends, after the NFL Fantasy Football season concluded. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2020 will certainly present its share of challenges.  Among them being that of having tough discussions with our friends, family, coworkers, etc… on issues that are politically and emotionally charged. </p>
<p>To start off the year, I wanted to take a second and go solo to discuss a phenomenal book I’ve been reading, “How to Have Impossible Conversation: A Very Practical Guide” by Peter Boghossian, where Boghossian outlines strategies to bring people who disagree into useful, productive engagement with one another.</p>
<p>Discussed today are some tools I’ve used (unintentionally, at that!) from the book, and some real-life examples of me using them both in my personal life and on the show with folks who have vastly disagreements with your favorite host.</p>
<p>And finally, as I mention at the close the show, if you’re interested in sharing your story of utilizing some of these techniques yourself, email me at <a href="mailto:brian@briannicholsshow.com" rel="nofollow">brian@briannicholsshow.com</a> or tag me on social media (@BNicholsLiberty both on Twitter and on Facebook).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ho ho ho!  It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and with that, I’m riding solo this week as we wrap up a phenomenal 2019 and start looking ahead to 2020!</p>
<p>Today, I read some of the awesome reviews you guys have posted for the show over on Apple Podcasts (and even take a suggestion from one of them!).  Later, I cover some topics that ya’ll wanted to hear about- The proposal to raise the smoking age from 18 to 21 and whether or not Justin Amash should consider taking on the role as “impeachment manager”.</p>
<p>This will be the last “new” episode of the year, with next week’s episode being my appearance on the “Friends Against Government Podcast”, where I enlighten Bird and Car about the classic Christmas song from Pennsylvania, “Dominick The Donkey”.  Oh, and we talk about politics and such, too.</p>

Mike Broyles and Scott Frost are cousins who have now saved four buildings in our downtown area. We talk about what can be saved, what they might tackle, and if they do it alone, or have a partner in city government? And what is next? Perhaps a theatre? Listen to find out!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Criminal justice reform is a topic that many members on the left and the right have started to agree on (much in thanks to libertarians for paving the way), but despite the progress, our criminal justice system still harms millions of non-violent offenders to this day. </p>
<p>Today I am joined by Conner Drigotas to get his perspective on criminal justice reform, why it’s so important for us to pay attention to criminal justice reform, and the very real human impact and harm that our current criminal justice system inflicts. </p>
<p>Conner’s Bio: Conner is the Director of Communications and Outreach for a nonprofit public interest law firm offering free legal services to those hurt by public-sector union officials.  He is also an adjunct professor at Lehigh University where he teaches business communications.  Prior to joining the his current firm, Conner managed local, state, and federal political campaigns, and worked in the financial industry developing financial strategies for at risk populations.</p>
<p>Conner earned his MBA from Lehigh University and holds undergraduate degrees in Government & Law and Psychology from Lafayette College.  A native Mainer, Conner enjoys the great outdoors and spends his free time hunting, camping, and fishing with his wife Danielle.</p>

<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/154" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/154</a></p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts! Radio Host Rob Kendall and Teacher Steven Vitatoe talk education. #RedForRed happened at the statehouse. 12,000 folks protested testing methods,  required community service, and funding methods.</p>
<p>Did Rob catch then drinking on their day off? Should the schools have used E-Learning days instead of just closing or denying days off?</p>
<p>In honor of Rob Kendall’s unique relationship with educators, we printed some tee shirts!<br />
The Boss Hog team is exploiting Rob’s name and image to benefit the New Castle Career Center’s welding program, one of the best trade school programs available in Indiana, led my Steven Vitatoe. <br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have friends who are Elizabeth Warren fans, then this most definitely is the episode you should send their way, as today I am joined once again by Max Gulker from the American Institute for Economic Research!</p>
<p>Max joins the show to help me break down Elizabeth Warrens tax plans (one of her many plans), her anti-billionaire rhetoric, he proposed wealth tax, and outline her plan to rule the American economy through the force of government regulatory agencies.</p>

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>
<p>Go to https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow and become a member today, and join me in making the LP the very best it can be!</a></li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Great episode of Boss Hog of Liberty!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts!</p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/153" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/153</a></p>
<p>There is a grassroots movement coming through Indiana. Yard signs have been popping up, schools are going to be closed next week. An event called #RedForEd is happening at the statehouse. More than 500,000 school kids won’t be in class, and over 11,000 educators are expected to be in attendance. The same factors that swept Glenda Ritz into office in 2012 appear to be coming together again.</p>
<p>We are joined by Jennifer McGowan, currently the Vice President of the local teachers association and 8th grade science teacher at New Castle. Also joining us is Alicia Criswell, extension educator in Wayne County and former public school teacher.</p>
<p>We discuss the multiple issues with public education in Indiana, not limited to low pay, high stakes testing, federal and state mandates, and more. The question is, what changes do people actually want? And what is possible? Great, open discussion!</p>
<p>And someone finally explains “E-Learning Days” to Jeremiah</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Libertarian Party is the largest, pro-liberty political organization in the United States, yet the LP has never surpassed 3.5% in a nationwide election.  So, what’s the problem…?  Is it the message, or the party?</p>
<p>Well, my guest today believes that part of the problem is the party, which is why he’s made it his goal to bring his private sector expertise to the LP and is seeking to be the next chairman of the Libertarian Party.  Returning to The Brian Nichols Show is the “Libertarian-in-Chief”, Todd Hagopian!</p>
<p>Todd joined the show last year to discuss the Libertarian Party, the greater libertarian movement, and to dig into the upcoming 2020 presidential election and who should lead the LP as the nominee.  </p>
<p>This time, Todd joins the show to discuss his candidacy to be the next chairman of the LP, with his main goals being to professionalize the party, create consistent branding for the party, and to focus on winning targeted, local elections.  </p>
<p>Later, Todd answers questions from the audience, ranging from “What are some mistakes the LP has made, and what are some things they’ve done right?” to “How important is it for the LP to engage the youth vote, including the newest batch of voters in Gen Z?”</p>
<p>As I wrap up the show, I give my take on Todd’s candidacy (oh, and a special surprise, too!).  </p>
<p>And as a final ask, if you leave today’s show inspired and want to take action within the Libertarian Party, make a small donation of $25 and sign up to become a member using my exclusive link! -> lp.org/briannicholsshow </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        Moving from academic medicine to private practice is a scary thing to do for any doctor. But what is it like for a specialist is the city with the highest concentration of her specialty to find patients?<br />
 <br />
My guest today is Dr.Rudrani Banik, who treats patients with vision disturbances, headaches, and other neurological conditions related to the eye. By leaving academics (partly since she still does research) and striking out on her own, she recognized the need to do more than just practice medicine.</p>

<p>But have no fear, I’ll be back in the swing of things next week, as we’ll be joined by recently announced candidate for Libertarian Party Chair, Todd Hagopian!  </p>
<p>Until then, have a great weekend, and I’ll see you all next week!</p>
<hr />
<p>Hey everybody. Stephen Ignoramus here and welcome to Call Me, Ignorant. So pleased you could be with us. Call Me, Ignorant is a live conversation show. Whether with an interesting content creator, an expert in a field, a controversial figure or with a fellow human being trying to spread a message, Call Me Ignorant will try to solve the problems of the world, conversationally speaking.</p>
<p>My guest today is Brian Nichols. Brian is a writer, a liberty advocate and the host of the Brian Nichols show and his goal through his show is to discuss today’s news in an objective manner to ultimately find common ground between individuals of differing ways of thinking. I am very excited to talk to him today about those goals, how he started his show and other liberty minded things.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our old, exclusionary, geographically-based education system is not educating children the way it promises to.  Parents have been fighting for the ability to get their kids into schools that don’t constantly fail them decade after decade, only to be denied by the public education establishment, and the various policies promoted by the school choice movement give parents autonomy over their children’s education.</p>
<p>Joining The Brian Nichols Show today is Michael Torres from the Commonwealth Foundation.  Michael is the Senior Communications Office over at the Commonwealth Foundation and joins the show to help dispel some myths regarding school choice and to speak to the value that school choice has in helping further our youths’ education.  </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Great episode of Boss Hog of Liberty!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis host the city of New Castle Ward 1 candidate night.<br />
 <a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/150" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/150</a> </p>
<p>We talk with Mike Guffey – Republican candidate for City Council. Mike is running for an open seat and is in a two way race with Glenn Ryan who was unable to join us for the night. We talked about the city budget, the future of downtown, and what his vision is for New Castle.  Mike shared his memories of the town and weighed in on 1400 plaza and the possibilities of the city owning more buildings.</p>
<p>Councilman Clay Morgan joined us at the end of the show, following the county council meeting, and the vote to raise taxes to pay for a new jail/rehabilitation facility. In a 5-1 vote, the council voted to increase income taxes .2%; in addition to the .25% increase for public safety that was enacted four years ago.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        Dr. Kris Held is the president of the AAPS and is an ophthalmologist in private practice in San Antonio, TX. She is suing the state of Texas to have the right to dispense drugs to her patients in her office. This would improve patient safety, reduce costs by over 50%, and is already being done in 44 states and the District of Columbia. We discuss her lawsuit, how she practices as a surgical specialist without insurance, and more.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2015, the Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges held that the Fourteenth Amendment requires states to license and recognize same-sex marriage per the Equal Protection Clause.  While millions celebrated the decision (including libertarians), many social conservatives found the ruling to be an attack on state’s rights and the institution of traditional marriage.</p>
<p>Joining me on today’s episode is a dear friend, Thomas K. C.  Thomas is a law student, a former libertarian, and a proponent of reverting America back to the days pre-Obergfell to restore America’s valuing of traditional marriage and traditional social values.  Thomas also is a strong proponent against social progressivism.  While Thomas and I disagree, we still ended up having a respectful conversation to best understand where the other side was coming from, undoubtedly leaving the audience educated, enlightened, and informed.</p>

Stay Away from Libertarians has received rave reviews, from The LoConservative, The Daily Wire, Blast Off!

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>
<p>Go to https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow and become a member today, and join me in making the LP the very best it can be!</a></li>

<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis host the city of New Castle Ward 3 candidate night. Incumbent Jerry Walden and challenger Chris Guffey. What does the next four years look like for our town? Should the city be investing in new buildings? We talk 1400 Plaza TIF district, the Castle Theatre, and the Armory. </p>
<p>Long term, what does the city look like? Could state road 3 be more walkable? Eliminate a driving lane, and add a walking/bike path? What would the reaction to that be?</p>
<p>In local news, the County is holding a meeting this THURSDAY discussing the likely increase of income taxes to pay for a potential new jail facilty.  Will anyone vote against it? Will anyone speak against it?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two men separated by time embark on parallel paths to succeed in the blood sport that is professional politics.  In the aftermath of the 2016 election, a young political operative named Art Brown finds himself about to sit at the right hand of power in Washington D.C only to end up falling out of the insider-circles he spent years trying to find acceptance in. </p>
<p>The other man would start his political path as one of the most progressive statesmen in the south, only to evolve into the villain of the civil rights movement- George C. Wallace.  </p>
<p>Filled with political intrigue and suspense that spans among generations, along with that classic gonzo humor Remso W. Martinez has become known for, “How to Succeed in Politics (and Other Forms of Devil Worship)” is a dark comedy that will force you to ask whether success at all costs is worth losing your humanity in the process.</p>
<p>Today’s episode features all that and more, as we are once again joined by Remso to discuss his newest book, “How to Succeed in Politics (and Other Forms of Devil Worship)”!</p>

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>
<p>Go to https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow and become a member today, and join me in making the LP the very best it can be!</a></li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        What’s the deal with nurse practitioners (NPs)? Why is there so much anger from physicians and NPs when it comes to how patients are treated? Every day on my twitter feed I hear about how nurse practitioners  are “acting like doctors without the necessary training” and are “dangerous because they know nothing.” Meanwhile my friends who are NPs and PAs cite studies that claim they provide better care than physicians. Both camps’ arguments are hogwash.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While in Dallas, Chris Spangle took a tour of Dealey Plaza with Robin Brown of JFK Custom Tours. It was so entertaining, that he decided to invite Robin on the show to lay out what he believes happened on November 22, 1963. We spend a great deal of time discussing the rise of defense contractors and the CIA in the early days of the Cold War. Then Robin explains his theory on the why, how, and who of President John F. Kennedy’s murder. Visit Robin’s website at <a href="https://www.jfkcustomtours.com/">https://www.jfkcustomtours.com/</a>. </p>
<p>Disclaimer: I really have no idea what happened to President Kennedy, and by having Robin on I am not endorsing his ideas. Much of the history on the establishment of that period we share is absolutely true, and most facts on the assassination he shared did check out. I don’t know what happened. I just found him to be a fun person you’d enjoy. Come to your own conclusions. – Chris Spangle </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you know that nobody knows how to make a pizza?</p>
<p>Wait, you disagree?  </p>
<p>Okay, let’s try this- Did you know there’s not a single person on Earth who has the skills and knowledge to make something as deceptively simple as a cheese pizza?  As a matter of fact, it takes millions of people, all with specialized skills – and what’s more, there are no central planners or people managing the process. So how do they do it?</p>
<p>That’s the premise of the new children’s book, “Nobody Knows How to Make a Pizza” by Julie Borowski!  Listen as Julie joins the show to discuss her book to the liberty-loving audience of The Brian Nichols Show!</p>

Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts. Chris Guffey is in the producer’s chair. Liberty Defender Sean Row is the third chair, and our featured guest is Henry County Prosecutor Joe Bergacs.</p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/147" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/147</a></p>
<p>This episode focuses on the local criminal justice system. Jails are full; taxes are likely going up. What can the courts and prosecutors do about it? This week Marion County announced it would no longer be prosecuting simple possession of cannabis. Will Henry County follow suit?</p>
<p>Henry County has been combating rising jail populations with the creation of drug courts and veterans courts with some success. What role does the state have in the rising jail populations?</p>

<p>Today I’m joined by Carla Gericke from the Free State Project, which is a historic mass migration of more than 20,000 people who have pledged to move to New Hampshire for liberty.  </p>
<p>Today I wanted to have Carla join the show to talk more about the Free State Project, the work they’ve been doing, and how the prospects of liberty look for New Hampshire.  We also dig into Carla’s personal path to liberty, her activism, and her candidacy for NH Senate.</p>

Over half of all hospitals in the United States are not for profit entities – but do they really look differently than for profit institutions? That is the question that few politicians or those debating health care speak about. In many instances, one would be hard pressed to know whether hospitals are for profit by how they run.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you been finding yourself questioning the narratives being promoted by those taking part in the Global Climate Strike?  </p>
<p>Did you raise and eyebrow when Greta Thunberg gave her captivating (and divisive) speech at the United Nations?  </p>
<p>Or perhaps have you found yourself feeling uneasy at the prospects of a “Green New Deal”?  </p>
<p>Well, look no further than today’s episode, as I am joined by former Trump EPA transition team member and founder of JunkScience.com, Steve Milloy!</p>
<p>Listen as Steve and I discuss climate change, popular narratives surrounding climate change, the Global Climate Strike, Greta Thunberg, and the hidden agenda of the Green New Deal.</p>
<p>Bio: Steve Milloy is a recognized leader in the fight against junk science with more than 20 years of experience, and is credited with popularizing the term “junk science.” He is the founder and publisher of JunkScience.com, and an environmental and public health consultant. Milloy is a biostatistician and securities lawyer who has also been a registered securities principal, investment fund manager, non-profit executive, and a print/web columnist on science and business issues.</p>
<p>Milloy has also authored over 600 articles/columns published in major newspapers/web sites, including the Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, FoxNews.com, Financial Times, National Post (Canada), USA Today, Los Angeles Times, Washington Times, New York Post, New York Sun and other print and web outlets.</p>
<p>Milloy was the co-founder and managing principal of Free Enterprise Action Fund (2004-2009), the first pro-free enterprise activist mutual fund, which merged with the Congressional Effect in July 2009.</p>

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>
<p>Go to https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow and become a member today, and join me in making the LP the very best it can be!</a></li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boss Hog of Liberty is back again!<br />
Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts. Chase Peyton is back with sports and trolling as a co-host; Brad Brewer is our featured guest of Right New Network makes his first appearance, Chris Guffey does his best as producer.</p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/145" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/145</a></p>
<p>Brad has become a media member, covering local Trump rallies, including the NRA convention and had the best coverage of a guy throwing a cell phone at the President. His day job is as an executive with a local credit union. We talk about the reasons why someone might want to consider using them instead of a bank.</p>
<p>Finally, everyone is fed up with potholes, but we like to complain when the construction season starts. I-70 is nearly gridlock in our part of the world. We discover why the interstate was SHUT DOWN for hours over the weekend and if it will happen again.</p>
<p>Local news – your taxes are going up, the theatre might not be sold? And the city budget process is underway.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you feel like life is too stressful and far more complicated than it needs to be?  Or do you feel like you’re on a treadmill to nowhere, grinding in life each and everyday, thinking there is something wrong with yourself for feeling this way?</p>
<p>Well, look no further than today’s episode, as I am joined by a man who is an Amazon best selling author, simple living advocate and educator, nutrition and health expert, adjunct college professor, professional speaker, and greater of “The Simple Life”; Gary Collins. </p>
<p>Gary spent almost a decade investigating our food, drug and health care systems, and has a unique perspective into what is making Americans obese, stressed out and ill.</p>
<p>Today, Gary joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss “Off The Grid” and “The Simple Life”, which are his Best Selling book series’ on Amazon to share his story and help others in their pursuit of a better life.  Listen as we discuss Gary’s background, his own venture into living off the grid and enjoying the simple life, and his foolproof, three-step plan to personal success.</p>

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>
<p>Go to https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow and become a member today, and join me in making the LP the very best it can be!</a></li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        Serving the poor in health care is a mission that many enter medicine to do. Whether that is through medical missions, working free clinics, or in some other way – doctors are doing what they can to help the poor receive care. Some choose to work in underserved regions of the country both urban and rural that are paid in part by the federal government. These clinics are called federally qualified health centers. The question we must ask is if these clinics are the best way to serve the poor.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Should Mass Shooters Get the Death Penalty?  Your first reaction is likely, “Well, yes.  Duh”.  And if that was your reaction, no worries, it used to be my reaction, too.  That is until I started to look at the death penalty differently, much in part thanks to today’s guest- Hannah Cox, National Manager of Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty. </p>
<p>Hannah first joined the show last year to discuss the mission and work over at CCATDP, which is a national network of conservative Republicans and Libertarians calling for a re-examination of the American system of capital punishment.  Today, Hannah joins the show to discuss whether shooters should get the death penalty and to hear CCATDP’s position on the Trump administration’s resuming the practice of executing death row inmates for the first time in more than 15 years.</p>
<p>Bio: Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty is a project of Equal Justice USA, a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization working to transform the justice system by promoting responses to violence that break cycles of trauma.</p>
<p>“Conservative Republicans and Libertarians are increasingly looking at the facts and deciding that the death penalty must be ended,” says Hannah. “This is especially true for younger voters on the right who are often leading the way on criminal justice reform as we become increasingly aware of the risks of executing innocent people and the opportunity costs involved with this wasteful system.”</p>
<p>Hannah’s First Appearance on TBNS: <a href="https://briannichols.fireside.fm/34" rel="nofollow">https://briannichols.fireside.fm/34</a><br />

<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>
<p>Go to https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow and become a member today, and join me in making the LP the very best it can be!</a></li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I dare say that most of us know folks within the libertarian movement who came from the more conservative side of things, heck, with yours truly being one of them.  But those who ventured to libertarianism from the left are much fewer in our ranks, despite them sharing our many of our values.</p>
<p>Today’s guest is one of those unicorns who went from leftist to libertarian, and I wanted to have her on my show to discuss her conversion as she started going down the libertarian rabbit hole; the one and only Steffi Cole. </p>
<p>Listen as Seffi talks about her path to libertarianism from the left, her involvement in libertarian politics and political campaigns (like Austin Petersen’s US Senate campaign), and more!</p>
<p>Bio: Steffi was born and raised in Michigan and “has been a passionate, hardworking nerd ever since she was little”.  After learning about economics and watching lots of videos about government in 2009, she found herself in the Tea Party movement.  She became a huge fan of Ron Paul during his 2012 Presidential campaign. In 2017-2018, she volunteered doing social media, graphic design, and volunteer training for the Austin Petersen for US Senate campaign.  She is currently a YouTuber, Brand Ambassador for 1776 United, and liberty promoter for products, people, and ideas.  She is on a journey to learn as much as she can about history, government, and the Constitution! </p>

<li><a href="https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow" rel="nofollow">The Libertarian Party</a>: <a href="https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow" rel="nofollow">What’s the best way to advance liberty?
<p>That’s a question I get asked often. You can be an activist, an entrepreneur, a media personality, or politics.</p>
<p>That’s why I decided to become a member of the largest pro-liberty party in the United States, the Libertarian Party.  I started my show with the goals to educate, enlighten, and inform, while also advancing the principles of liberty.</p>
<p>The LP is the largest political party in America that, at its core principles, embraces the values of individual liberty, property rights, and non-aggression.  The other two major parties have embraced tribal warfare versus principled debate. It’s time we stop feeding the beast and put our money where out mouths are.  </p>
<p>That means putting petty bickering and nonsensical arguments aside and actually advancing liberty.  </p>
<p>The LP, like every political party, has its flaws. </p>
<p>But instead of focusing on those flaws and tossing stones from the cheap seats, it’s time we take personal responsibility (like we promote on a regular basis) and take some responsibility in making the LP the best it can be.</p>
<p>Go to https://www.lp.org/briannicholsshow and become a member today, and join me in making the LP the very best it can be!</a></li>

<h3 style="text-align:center;">How the Two-Party System Failed Me, and America<br />
<em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/michael-joesten/">Michael Joesten</a></em></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In 1996 the best and brightest presidential candidate for the Republican party was Senator Bob Dole. As Dole emerged as the best hope against the second reign of the evil Clinton empire, I remember watching his campaign stops and speeches. I was several years out of college and had strongly identified as a conservative due to the messages of smaller government and more individual freedoms.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-145 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/dole_clinton.png" alt="Dole_Clinton.png" width="422" height="416"/>And then he said it. Dole said something that hit me like a ton of bricks and made me question everything I had believed about the Republican party and conservatism up to that point.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On a campaign stop, Dole was crowing about how he had led a blue-ribbon panel that had saved social security until 2034.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Saved until 2034? Then what? This was your answer to everything? Kick the can so far down the road that some other poor saps will have to make impossibly hard decisions long after you have passed? This was the viable option? This is what we could count on from the brightest minds on our side?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The questions continued. What good were any of them? On one hand I was hearing messages of smaller government and more personal responsibility, but on the other hand candidates were trying to convince us of how important they and their policies were. It really started to become clear to me that the Republicans were just as interested in controlling our lives as the Democrats were. I felt betrayed and hopeless that no matter who won; government would get larger and more intrusive.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Then by almost by some weird cosmic design, during that very campaign, I switched on C-Span who was covering the Libertarian Party Convention. I watched Harry Browne, the LP candidate, describe what his first days in office would look like. He talked about how he would undo all previous and overreaching executive orders; he talked about pardoning all federal non-violent convicts; he talked about ending the “useless and insane” war on drugs; he talked about securing our Second Amendment rights; he talked about ending welfare entitlements and “replacing them with nothing”; and he talked about vetoing any legislation that came before him that was not expressly authorized by the Constitution.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This is what I was looking for! A party with candidates that were not interested in advancing policies that intruded on my life. It was amazing that there was a party (and not the Republican party) that believed, in the words of Ronald Reagan, government was the source of problems and not the solution to them.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But what was the role of government then? I began my study of libertarian principles and I have not stopped since. I started by reading Harry Browne’s book, Why Government Doesn’t Work and Charles Murray’s, What it Means to be Libertarian. I felt vindicated that a system of government could exist where people were free to choose everything and anything that they thought was important to their own fulfillment, as long as they didn’t violate the rights of others.</p>
<figure id="attachment_146" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-146" style="width: 1200px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-146" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/height.630.no_border.width_.1200.jpg" alt="height.630.no_border.width.1200" width="1200" height="630"/><figcaption id="caption-attachment-146" class="wp-caption-text">Harry Browne at the 1996 Libertarian Party national convention. (Image from C-Span footage.)</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The more I learned, the more I wanted to learn. I had always been a student of the American Revolution, but now I felt more like a kindred spirit with the Founding Fathers in our classical liberal beliefs. I learned more about their influences, like Adam Smith and John Locke.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I found great comfort in different resources that promoted libertarian principles like the Cato Institute and Reason Foundation. I began studying libertarian economists Ludwig Von Mises, Murray Rothbard, Henry Hazlitt and others.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The more I learned, the more I despised the two ruling political powers and their successful attempts to squeeze out political choice. It has become very clear that not only is there little political difference between the two parties, but that they are less concerned about the balance of power as they are in the preservation of their dual power.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">My beliefs have evolved to almost the point of anarchy. I strongly believe that no government is preferable to a well-meaning government. The only purpose for government in my mind is to enforce contracts and protect individual liberties.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The learning continues. Besides thought leaders who write books, articles, and appear on TV, I learn much from regular people, like me, and their posts and comments on social media. Groups like <em>We Are Libertarians</em> and <em>Liberty Memes Community Group</em> are especially helpful. What better way to reason through issues of the day and how they are best solved by individuals, than to engage with individual people?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back, folks!  For those of you new listeners joining us, thanks for taking some time to listen to today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show!  </p>
<p>Today’s episode sticks true to one of the main principles we maintain here at The Brian Nichols Show- talking to people we don’t necessarily see eye-to-eye with and trying to find areas of understanding or agreement.  I’ve been very vocal in my opposition to the tactics that today’s guest, Arvin Vohra, utilized during his tenure as vice-chair of the Libertarian Party.  </p>
<p>I even went as far to spend an entire episode tackling each of his controversial statements and gave my best argument as to why I believe that hyperbolic and controversial marketing is not helpful in recruiting more people to the Libertarian Party and the greater liberty movement.</p>
<p>With that being said, Arvin came on the show to not only promote his candidacy (Arvin is running to be the Libertarian Party candidate for the 2020 POTUS election), but to answer some of the tough questions I had in regards to his past controversial statements.  Listen as Arvin discusses his candidacy, his approach to marketing liberty, and his vision for the libertarian movement.</p>

<h3 style="text-align:center;"><em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/rhinehold/">Rhinehold</a></em></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I hear it a lot, being a Libertarian running for office: those Libertarians and their “crazy” ideas. Letting people choose to live their lives as they see fit, not as the government forces them to? How would we all survive? How would that work? Isn’t that something that only works in small widespread farm communities?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When debating people, I make no bones about being a Libertarian. “<em>Oh,</em>” I hear, “<em>you’re an anarchist.</em>” I’m not sure where that one comes from, but it seems like it’s mostly made up by people who just can’t grasp the thought of people being able to decide on things for themselves. “<em>You just want the old and poor to be left alone.</em>” Apparently, without government assistance, which means taking money from one group of people, by force, and giving that money to another, we as humane individuals would never help people in need. “<em>Libertarianism was a nice idea when we were an agriculture society, but it doesn’t work in large urban areas.</em>” No, that is when it is needed most, if there is no one around you telling you want to do, you don’t need a form of government that protects you from anyone. And my favorite: “<em>you’re just selfish!</em>” Yeah, that’s me, the selfish one who wants to give people more power over their own lives.</p>
<h2>What is Libertarianism?</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For those that read those quotes and didn’t see immediately what was wrong with them, let’s start by enlightening you about what libertarianism is and what it isn’t.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Boiled down, the libertarian philosophy is this: “<em>People should be free to live their lives as they choose as long as they do not directly prevent others from doing the same.</em>” What a radical idea!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">That does not mean that Libertarians are for no government. To infer that means that you read only the first half of that statement and skipped the second. Yes, there are a group of people (often labeled as Anarcho-Capitalists) who are for totally free markets with no regulation. And there are other groups like voluntaryists, anarchists, etc. But there are also minarchists that are part of the libertarian view. Look at it like Christianity. To be a Christian you must believe that Jesus is your savior, but there are many ways of going about living your life beyond that and expressing your faith. Look at how many different types of Christians exist.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In relation to the markets, let’s take a closer look. If two people enter into a contract, that contract is a legally binding document. What does that mean? It means that if one side or the other attempted to violate that contract, they are in violation of the law (meaning government). That is governmental regulation. With no governmental regulation, contract law is meaningless, contracts are meaningless, and no one can be held accountable for anything in them. Anarchists will argue that private organizations can enforce them, but isn’t that just another word for government if you give a body the legal right to use force over others?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This is directly applicable to the second part of the basic libertarian principle: Government’s place is in regulating the interactions between individuals. If two people agree to the terms of a contract, the government is there to ensure that the contract is followed as agreed upon. It is also there to ensure that there is no fraud taking place when the contract was agreed to or afterwards. But, it is not there to determine if someone made a bad decision or unwisely agreed to something that someone else may think was not in their best interests. That is up to the individual signing the contract to decide.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-180 alignright" style="color:var(--color-text);" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/q1-1.jpg" alt="q1" width="468" height="278"/>Government should also be involved to ensure that all markets are free. Monopolies prevent this free market from working. Government should therefore be there to make sure that no one person or company has a complete monopoly over any one area of the markets. Unfortunately, most monopolies that exist today do so not just with the acquiescence of government, but with their support. They could not exist as monopolies without government getting involved. This usually plays out with licensing of a business, a way for current business owners to ensure that no new entrants into a market are allowed to compete for the part of the market that they have already acquired.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Government should also not be for picking winners and losers. Trying to punish a company because it is doing well or those who are running the company have different politics than the current administrations should be forbidden. Unfortunately, today, this happens frequently and is a current way that the two major parties play individuals against each other for their votes.</p>

<h2>Beyond Markets</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The government should be ensuring that people are not infringing upon other’s rights to live their lives as they choose. We should not be telling adults that they cannot buy beer on a Sunday, or sign a contract on Sunday, or buy a pack of cigarettes or whatever drug of choice they choose, it should be left to the individual to decide. However, if someone were to harm another while taking those drugs of choice, they should be arrested and punished for that behavior. If you want to drink a fifth of scotch at home, the government should not tell you that you can’t, but the minute you get behind the wheel of a car and endanger the rest of us… Sorry, your right to make your own choices ends at that point.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Who do we choose to love? Who do we choose to spend our time with? I don’t see how that is any business of any government agency. What goes on between two consenting adults is between them, not anyone else who might have a large group of people who think it is ‘icky’. That’s no one’s business but their own.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Libertarianism is not about leaving the poor and old to fend for themselves and it is certainly not about selfishness</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quite the contrary, we should be helping our fellow man who is in need. But we should decide when and where that help comes from. If a single mother of four is working hard to put her children through school and take care of them but has a rough month, perhaps she chooses not to help that month. Under our current system, she has no way of doing that. The government gets its cut before she has any say in the matter. So more often than I feel comfortable with, that person ends up in worse shape and eventually needs help that they wouldn’t have needed had they been able to make that choice for themselves.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Here is a current example of our welfare system in the United States. Three men are eating lunch on a park bench. A homeless man comes up and asks for some money to buy some food. The first two men say sure and each get five dollars out to give to him. They then look to the third one who says he can’t do it right now. What do the two men do? They hold him down and take the money from him and then give the fifteen dollars to the homeless man. That third man, who was going to take that money home to help feed his children is left to fend for himself now. Now that is not compassion. That is selfish. You’re selfish if you’re only willing to help another if you know that others are also helping him. That is what our welfare system is about, making sure that you are giving your money to help the poor and elderly as long as you know that everyone else is too.</p>
<h2>Libertarianism is Relevant</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Libertarianism is about the here and now more than ever before</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I have never understood the argument that in a rural society, libertarianism is ok, but in a city environment, well, it’s just not workable. Really? When do you need protection to make your own choices and have the government work out the disputes between you and your neighbors more than in a large urban city? If I am being drunk and obnoxious at home on a large farm with 200 acres, who cares? If I drive my car drunk around my property, who cares? But if I am being drunk and obnoxious or driving drunk in a city with a large population? Other’s rights are being violated. Nothing in libertarianism says that you have to put up with that situation, it is an infringement upon you.</p>
<h2>How Have the Other Parties Done?</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">People think that ensuring that individuals are free and enjoying their liberties is “crazy” and continue to elect the same two parties to office thinking that it is doing any good. Let’s take a look at what they have done to our country.</p>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;">Education</h3>
<figure id="attachment_185" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-185" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-185" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/school_bus_invasion-e1556205900335.jpg?w=310" alt="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" width="310" height="635"/><figcaption id="caption-attachment-185" class="wp-caption-text">(Photo from Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In 1979 the Department of Education was formed. It was only to have a small budget of 14.5 billion and employ less than 100 people. Today, its budget is well over 32 billion and it employs over 5000 people, 90 percent who were deemed “nonessential” during a recent government shutdown. The education spending rate has increased three times as fast as other non-defense discretionary programs, 30% vs. 8%. We have gone from spending $3000 per pupil to $6000 (adjusted for inflation). What have we gotten?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">According to Lisa Snell’s article “Stimulus Won’t Change the Education System’s Status Quo” in Reason Magazine: “The average reading and math scores for 17-year-olds on the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), the nation’s benchmark for student achievement, are no better today than they were in 1971; SAT verbal scores show a decline (from 530 in 1972 to 504 today); and SAT math scores have been essentially flat (from 509 in 1972 to 515 today). U.S. graduation rates were 78 percent in 1972 and are 74 percent today; and U.S. 15-year-olds score below the international average on science and math literacy when compared with 30 OECD countries—American kids rank behind students from Poland, Hungary, and France to name a few.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So, we have created a bureaucracy that is eating itself, injecting politics further into our school system, and creating students that are worse off than they were before we got involved. And the answer that we hear from Washington? More spending, more control, more of the same.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And they call libertarians crazy.</p>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;">Government Debt</h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When you run out of money at the end of the month, what do you do? Cut spending? More often than not. Increase your income? Some people get second jobs or other income for that. Do you just keep spending and borrowing more? More citizens are doing that and finding out that it doesn’t work well in the long run. Unfortunately, our government hasn’t learned that lesson yet…</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-181 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/q2-1.jpg" alt="q2" width="456" height="260"/>The US experienced high growth in the 50s and 60s, yet our debt remained largely unchanged when compared with inflation. However, starting in the 1970s and skyrocketing since, it has ballooned up to 16 Trillion dollars. But, that’s not the worse part. You see, what the politicians won’t tell you is the dirty little secret that those numbers are just public debt. That is debt that the government owes to the public or other entities outside of the government. That’s not our total debt. Our total debt, as of today, when including money that the government has borrowed from itself (largely in the shape of the Social Security Trust Fund and other pension plans) is…</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">$22,027,542,672,770.63.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Yes, that is over 22 trillion dollars that our government must pay back. This number can be tracked for a current snapshot or over time by using the US Treasury’s Debt to the Penny. Don’t just take my word for it, go look it up yourself.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So, why don’t we hear that number? Why only the 16 Trillion? Well, other than the obvious “it sounds better”, the short answer is that the government doesn’t seem to want anyone to know that it has been raiding our Social Security trust fund for decades. Even Bill Clinton who is touted with “running a surplus” is hiding those numbers. At no time during the Clinton administration did our national debt decrease. Our public deficit did go down a year or two, but only by a little and only on the public side of things. But our Intragovernmental Holdings still increased more than the public debt decreased.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The people who are in power now are wanting you to give them the power to spend more money, on top of all of the money they already owe. Does that sound like a sound plan to you? Do you think that we can continue to spend money at this rate, or higher if Washington had its way, and not eventually have to pay up? I can only say I am glad they are not in charge of my finances.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And they call libertarians crazy.</p>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;">Prison Population</h3>
<figure id="attachment_184" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-184" style="width: 367px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-184" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/prison_cell_block-e1556205963800.jpg" alt="Prison_cell_block" width="367" height="723"/><figcaption id="caption-attachment-184" class="wp-caption-text">(Photo from Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Every year since 1972 our prison population has increased, until this last year. There are currently over 2 million people behind bars in the US, or better put, one out of every 133 of us. We have 5 percent of the world’s population but 25 percent of its prison population. We incarcerate more than any other country, including China. And this year the prison population went down, not because there were less crimes, but because of budget constraints more prisoners were let go before finishing their sentences. And the fastest growing segment of that population: nonviolent, first time offenders of drug laws. Our war on drugs has failed miserably and we continue to take a hard stand against an activity that less than 100 years ago would have taken an amendment to the US Constitution to enforce.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The funny thing is that taking drugs is not illegal. It cannot be illegal according to the Supreme Court. Instead, they make “possession” of the drug illegal. It’s an interesting work around that has resulted in the increase of drug use, the cost to the taxpayers in the billions, and the incarceration rates in the US to skyrocket. Worse, because of the federal laws, the government can’t regulate the drugs like they can with cigarettes and alcohol. And it can’t be taxed either. Individuals with problems are less likely to get help for fear of being arrested, funding to help those people is not collected and we put nonviolent drug users in the same prisons as violent convicts, an atmosphere that is more likely to turn them to a further life of crime than they would have if they were left alone.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And they call libertarians crazy.</p>
<h3 style="text-align:justify;">Miscellaneous “Do Not Dos”</h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We are just touching the surface here and I could (and may) write a book about all of this, but let’s speed things up with a short list of some of the things you can’t do in Indiana (the state I personally live in) because of the actions of the two parties (other states are probably as messed up as we are):</p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Properly choose the school you send your children to (private or public) unless you are rich.</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Walk onto a plane with a bottle of water (federal law).</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Drive your car without a seat belt on.</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Buy alcohol on Sunday.</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Sign a contract on Sunday (no car sales on Sunday as a result).</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Play poker online (federal law).</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Play poker at a table, with real cards, unless on a body of water and approved by the state.</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Possess marijuana (federal and state law).</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Carry drinks into a restaurant or bar.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why Continue to Support the Duopoly?</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So, you’ve heard that the Libertarians are a crazy bunch, that their ideals are outdated or only work in a “utopia”. All I ask is that you take a look back at the way the Democrats and Republicans have run this state and this country and ask yourself.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Who are the crazy ones? The Libertarians who want to give us more control over our individual lives as long as we don’t violate the rights of others. Or the Republicans and Democrats who have given us over half of a century of declining education, declining standards of living, increased spending, increased debt and continually pass more and more laws that tell you how to live your life?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Or are the crazy people the ones that keep sending the same people back to the state house and Washington thinking that “this time” things will be different. Isn’t that like taking the milk out of the refrigerator and tasting that it is bad and then putting it back in thinking that tomorrow it will be good again?</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-182 aligncenter" style="text-align:justify;" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/q3-1.jpg" alt="q3" width="641" height="284"/></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">My recommendation is to throw out your preconceived notions about what others have told you about Libertarian thought and the Libertarian Party and take a closer look at what we are really saying, what we really stand for. Don’t let the people who have run this country into the ground make up your mind for you. You can go to the <a href="https://www.lp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Libertarian Party’s website</a> and see for yourself what the crazy Libertarians are talking about.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The three liberty podcastin’ pros reflect back and share their behind the scenes secrets of their combined 15+ years of podcasting experience – when they knew they “made it” as podcasters, why it somehow always ties back to Tom Woods, how they have refined their process over the years, the reasons to go into podcasting, how to find your podcast voice, and have a ton of laughs along the way in this edition of <em>Libertarians in Living Rooms Drinking Liquor!</em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;">Did Trump Lose the Shutdown Fight? Depends on Who You Ask?<br />
<em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/ryan-lindsey/">Ryan Lindsey</a></em></h3>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I was convinced that Trump’s total cave on the longest federal shutdown in history was a mortal wound to Trump. If he had kept the shutdown going indefinitely or until congress finally surrendered border wall funding to him, I was fully convinced that the 2020 race was his to lose. I was equally certain that if he was the one to blink first, that the tables would flip, and his reelection would be nearly impossible against any but a few of the DNC’s contenders.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But then, two days after the shutdown ended, I overheard a conversation among several people who I know to be fundamentally decent and intelligent individuals who had gladly voted for Trump in 2016. They were discussing the end of the shutdown, but what they were saying didn’t align at all with what I (perhaps arrogantly) had assumed they would be saying. What I heard from them was nothing but praise for their president – he had been perfectly reasonable and given the Pelosi and the Democrats every opportunity to end the shutdown on their own; he was just making sure that federal workers would begin getting paid again (after not caring about that for over thirty days); he was simply setting the stage to better justify executive action and a national emergency later on; etc.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">An Isolated Incident of Loyalty?</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I was surprised, and frankly I still can’t empathize with their sentiments – if I had voted for Trump based on his campaign promises and “tough guy, never-back-down” persona, I would have been livid at the absolute disaster of the shutdown, which was rendered meaningless by his willingness to let Pelosi walk all over him. Why weren’t they fuming, why didn’t they feel betrayed? I thought (and hoped) that they were just a minority of Trump supporters. Surly most of his 2016 voters felt the same indignation and sense of being duped as Ann Coulter, Steve Bannon, Michael Savage, and many others in the conservative-populist movement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No, I had assumed wrong again. A couple more days after overhearing that conversation (four days after the shutdown ended) I tuned into the local conservative FM talk radio station on my commute to work. I was curious to see what the local morning show host, Nick Reed (who, to his credit is often extremely nonpartisan and has strong libertarian streaks on many issues), had to say about the shutdown ending and the backlash Trump has received from many of the more “prestigious”, “elite” conservative opinion directors. For most of my drive, Reed was taking calls from listeners who were giving their two cents about Trump reopening the government. My dread over the state of the GOP increased as one after another, callers justified the president’s actions. Narratives of 4, 5, 6, 12D chess filled the airwaves.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_152" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-152" style="width: 344px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-152 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/nickreed.png" alt="NickReed.PNG" width="344" height="260" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-152" class="wp-caption-text">Nick Reed of KSGF’s <em>Nick Reed Show</em>. (Facebook Live)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, I personally do not buy into this whole idea that Trump is actually a political chess master. I think the claim that a political novice with no knowledge of how the gears of bureaucracy and congress turn is somehow the most genius man to ever sit in the White House is absolutely bogus and has no backing at all in reality. In my opinion, the president has just slightly more political acumen in his whole body as the lowliest congressional aid has in their right arm (that is not an indictment on his character or abilities as a campaigner – those are separate issues all together). I still firmly believe that Trump lost the shutdown battle and that in any rational world the whole fiasco would have absolutely crippled his reelection campaign. Clearly that wasn’t the case though. Trump’s 2016 supporters either didn’t care about their man’s defeat or they were convinced that it wasn’t a defeat at all.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">The Power is His</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course, a couple of weeks after caving into Pelosi and Schumer, Trump signed a declaration of a national emergency in regard to the border and his cherished wall project. He couldn’t get what he wanted from congress, so he would use alleged executive authority to get his funds instead. While this move was received with horror from most members of the mainstream media and many federal officials, it was not an unprecedented powergrab. American presidents have spent the better part of two centuries acquiring power that is not constitutionally theirs – particularly the previous two, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By this point, it was not surprising at all when I almost immediately saw conservatives who had denounced Obama’s powergrabs cheer on this act of executive overreach by Trump. Even some people who I had considered libertarians were supportive of this move. Republican congressmen like Thomas Massie and Justin Amash who spoke out against the national emergency declaration received a solid thrashing from conservative media and activists.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-151 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/make_america_great_again_hat_27150179783-e1555081338414.jpg" alt="make_america_great_again_hat_27150179783.jpg" width="4680" height="1817" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But of course they did – those people were not truly opposed to the executive actions of Obama and Bush, they were just opposed to who was taking the action. In their minds, Trump not only needed but deserved this power.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Loyal to a Fault</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I wasn’t taking one critical factor into account: you should never underestimate how loyal Trump’s supporters are to him personally. They’re not loyal to his ideals or his policy proposals, they’re loyal to him. If Trump says he won a fight, then he won that fight in the minds of the Trump cultists, regardless of what the facts or reason say.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The cult of personality that is seducing the GOP has finally changed – Ronald Reagan has lost his throne to Trump.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-153 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/undaunted_1-e1555081469544.png" alt="Undaunted_1" width="317" height="392" />Embarrassingly, this is a mistake I have made with Trump multiple times since he first announced his plans to take the presidency nearly four years ago. I underestimated his supporters’ unconditional loyalty to him all throughout the entire Republican primary and general campaign. When he won the election, I was forced to take a step back and admit that to most of his supporters, Trump’s actions ultimately did not matter. All that mattered to them was that he was him. But still, I forget that lesson occasionally. Why?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe it’s because I’m not above the fray and have also fallen into different cults of personality at times. Upon honest reflection, I do think this is a temptation I have become better at resisting, but still, maybe I make myself forget about the Trump cult of personality because I am ashamed of my own follies in that area. Ask anyone who knew me during 2012 to 2016 and I’m sure they could tell you all about my obsession with Ron and Rand Paul, and the blinders I wore when it came to their shortcomings. It’s not a part of my past that I am particularly proud of in that regard.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Personality cults are just as much a threat to society as partisanship is – maybe if we are all able to reflect on our actions and loyalties (and the actions of those we are loyal to) we can begin to root out the cults that lead us. In my experience, the centers of personality cults are, at best, fallible men, and at worst, manipulative charlatans obsessed with gaining power over you. I hope that the Cult of Trump begins to dissolve before the next election (and that other personalities will not rise to take his place). If we’re going to live in a democratic republic, I’d rather live in one where leaders were chosen based on their character and proposals, rather than simply their persona.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“My vote just doesn’t matter…” </p>
<p>Have you heard this before?  Or perhaps have you caught yourself saying that exact same phrase?</p>
<p>Don’t worry, you’re not alone.  As a mater of fact, I’ve said as much myself.  With the “choose-one” voting system, many voters feel that their votes simply don’t matter in today’s electoral system.  That’s where today’s guest, Aaron Hamlin, and the organization he co-founded, “The Center for Election Science”, comes into play.</p>
<p>See, Aaron and his team have been on a mission to help change the way that American voters look at the electoral system by helping promote and institute alternative voting methods, like that of the “approval voting”, can help third-party and independent candidates gain momentum, eliminate the “spoiler effect”, and actually win elections!</p>
<p>Listen to learn how The Center for Election Science has been promoting approval voting, some wins they’ve tallied up, and the future prospects of changing our outdated voting system!</p>
<p>Aaron’s Bio: <br />
Aaron Hamlin is the executive director and co-founder of The Center for Election Science. He’s been featured as an electoral systems expert on MSNBC.com, NPR, Free Speech TV, Inside Philanthropy, 80K Hours, and Popular Mechanics, and has given talks across the country on voting methods. He’s written for Deadspin, USA Today Magazine, Independent Voter Network, and others. Additionally, Aaron is a licensed attorney with two additional graduate degrees in the social sciences.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview that<br />
libertarians ‘don’t believe in immigration’. <br />
She doubled down on this assertion the next day in an Instagram message.  It appears that she is either uninformed and<br />
speaking from a place of ignorance or she is purposefully and willfully misrepresenting<br />
libertarian positions in an effort to keep control of Democrats who are becoming<br />
increasingly more distrustful of the direction the party is taking.</p>
<p>Let’s assume, to be fair, that it is the former instead of<br />
the latter.  The Democratic Party has a<br />
long history of ignoring the actual positions of libertarians and trying to<br />
make them out to be more radically conservative than the Republican Party.  This is a failing that, IMO, helped cause<br />
Hillary to lose in 2016.  Hillary spent<br />
millions on efforts to fight against Gary Johnson and libertarians, and in<br />
doing so insulted the very people who could have put her over the edge in<br />
several key states that would have swung the election her way.  AOC hasn’t seemed to have learned this<br />
lesson.  In every election in modern<br />
times there are around 35% who are going to vote Democrat, no matter what.  There are around 35% who are going to vote<br />
Republican, no matter what.  It’s that<br />
remaining 30% that decides who wins elections and libertarians make up a large<br />
percentage of that voting bloc.  </p>
<p>However, let’s look at the facts as they exist, the facts<br />
that AOC doesn’t seem to be aware of.</p>
<h2>Immigration</h2>
<p>From the very first day that the Libertarian Party was<br />
formed, it has been staunchly pro-immigration. <br />
In fact, through the 80s and 90s the platform called for the abolition<br />
of the border patrol and called for free and open immigration.  An example from the 1988 platform:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>We hold that human rights should not be denied or abridged on the basis of nationality. We condemn massive roundups of Hispanic Americans and others by the federal government in its hunt for individuals not possessing required government documents. We strongly oppose all measures that would punish employers who hire undocumented workers. Such measures repress free enterprise, harass workers, and systematically discourage employers from hiring Hispanics. </p>
<p>Undocumented non-citizens should not be denied the fundamental freedom to labor and to move about unmolested Furthermore, immigration must not be restricted for reasons of race, religion, political creed, age, or sexual preference. </p>
<p>We therefore call for the elimination of all restrictions on immigration, the abolition of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol. and a declaration of full amnesty for all people who have entered the country illegally. We oppose government welfare payments to non-citizens just as we oppose government welfare payments to all other persons. </p>
<p>Because we support the right of workers to cross borders without harassment, we oppose all government-mandated “temporary worker” plans. Specifically, we condemn attempts to revive the Bracero Program as government imposition of second class status on Mexican-bom workers. </p>
<p>We welcome all refugees to our shores and condemn the efforts of U.S. officials to create a new “Berlin Wall” which would keep them captive. We condemn the U.S. government’s policy of barring those refugees from our shores and preventing Americans from assisting their passage to help them escape tyranny or improve their economic prospects. </p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="https://lpedia.org/Document:National_Platform_1988#17._IMMIGRATION">https://lpedia.org/Document:National_Platform_1988#17._IMMIGRATION</a></p>
<p>Now I’m not sure how this squares with her assessment that<br />
libertarians are ‘anti-immigration’ at all. <br />
While during the period immediately following 9/11 the platform did<br />
change to allow for some libertarians to accept a small amount of border control<br />
to prevent terrorism,  in a reactionary<br />
measure, that language was removed this past convention and returned to calling<br />
for free and open migration.  A position<br />
that cannot be said for the current Democratic Party.  Look at the policies put forward on<br />
immigration from the Democratic Party candidates for president, they are<br />
falling over themselves to not be for open borders.  The LP is, always has and will continue to do<br />
so, no matter what misinformation AOC has.</p>
<p>In fact, before she was in grade school, the LP was fighting against the then Democratic Party President, Bill Clinton, who reneged on a campaign promise to allow the Haitian refugees to enter the US.  After being inaugurated reports of boats being built and readied to make their way to the US caused him to keep the previous Bush era block against Haitian refugee status intact.  They did this by defining the Haitian boat people as economic rather than political refugees despite the fact they were fleeing the results of a violent coup, leading to the murders of fifteen hundred supporters of the democratically elected Jean-Bertrand Aristide who was ousted in the coup.  </p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
<p>Citing numerous murders of repatriated Haitians, violations of Haitians’ civil rights, and imprisonment and harassment upon repatriation, these groups tried to change the status of the Haitian boat people to political refugees. Human rights groups asserted that the United States was in violation of the 1951 Convention and subsequent 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, and President Bush was found to be in violation of the Refugee Act of 1980. However, by defining Haitians as economic relief seekers and not refugees, the United States was allowed to maintain its repatriation policy.</p>
<p>Taking office in 1993, President Bill Clinton had opposed Bush’s repatriation/interdiction policy and promised that he would be generous toward Haitian refugees. Coast Guard personnel remarked that seven hundred new boats were built by Haitians awaiting Clinton’s presidency. However, in a reversal of opinion, Clinton reinstated Bush’s policy.</p>
<p>In 1993, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed that only those refugees who actually make it to U.S. soil on their own could be considered for refugee status and that anyone interdicted would be repatriated. This controversial policy, along with continued interdiction at sea, remains in effect in the early twenty-first century.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="http://immigrationtounitedstates.org/536-haitian-boat-people.html">http://immigrationtounitedstates.org/536-haitian-boat-people.html</a></p>
<p>If all of this sounds familiar, Clinton put in place the<br />
very same rules that AOC is now attacking Trump on and while she is correct<br />
now, the Democratic Party has never been for free and open immigration.</p>
<h2>Marriage Equality</h2>
<p>The Democratic Party adopted marriage equality in the 2012 Platform because then president and candidate Barack Obama was in favor of it.  However, before 2012, the party had been largely against Marriage Equality.  In fact, Bill Clinton was responsible for some of the legislation that prolonged homosexual couples from obtaining this equality.  </p>
<p>Libertarians, however, since the founding of the party in<br />
1971, have called for marriage equality. <br />
The position has always been that marriage should not be an area that<br />
the government is involved in.  However,<br />
if they are involved, that involvement must be applied equally.  So, it was nice when the Democratic Party<br />
finally came around to Marriage Equality in 2012, but libertarians were wondering<br />
what took them so long.</p>
<h2>Anti-War</h2>
<p>The Democratic Party has been a tepid opposer of wars of aggression throughout its history.  Most recently in 2002 they were very opposed to military action in Iraq (but not Afghanistan) but agreed to the action politically.  Protests existed while Bush was in office, but once Bush left and newly elected Barack Obama was inaugurated, all pretense of being against the war stopped.  The protests stopped, new unconstitutional military action was even employed, and the Democratic Party remained silent on any kind of opposition to these actions.  It seems that they are anti-war, when the war is started by the opposing party only.</p>
<p>Libertarians, on the other hand, believe in a non-aggression<br />
principle, something we have to agree to when joining the party, and only<br />
support the use of violence as a defensive measure.  For anyone who is against aggressive military<br />
action around the world, the Democratic Party is not the place to be, it is<br />
with the Libertarian Party.  The<br />
Democratic Party has lost all standing to claim being anti-war.</p>
<h2>Summary</h2>
<p>One would hope that a representative engaging in political discourse would actually learn what their opponents believe before calling them out on those positions.  Straw man fallacies are not helpful in any kind of meaningful political discussion, especially from an elected official who should know better.  ESPECIALLY from an elected official that has been the subject of such attacks against them recently, one would imagine they would be more understanding of how harmful to the ultimate goals they are trying to accomplish that ends up being.  It is my hope that AOC opens up a google search and looks at the Libertarian Party Platform and give it a glance to at least not sound so ignorant about something when she speaks as it does not help her cause, or the Democratic Party’s cause, in any way to make such declarations that are so easily refutable.  I’m including a link to the most recent Libertarian Party Platform (2018) in case there is a problem with AOC not being able to figure out how to use google.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        February marks the month designated by the American Heart Association as its “Go Red for Women” campaign to raise awareness of the real risk of heart disease in women. Too often, men are seen as the victims of heart attacks and people forget that women can suffer from heart disease as well. In fact, women die more from heart disease than men, right?</p>
<p>Well, not exactly. And that’s what we discuss in the show.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you happy?  Or are things so chaotic in our world that you find it difficult to take joy in the things you use to take joy in?  Are you looking for happiness in the right places?</p>
<p>All those questions and more get tackled in today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, as I am joined by documentarian of the travel series, “Straight No Chaser”, Tim Preuss!</p>
<p>In 2015, Tim got involved in politics and internet marketing with the launch of his podcast,the “Tim Preuss Podcast”.  After nearly five years and over 500 episodes, Tim took a turn and decided to venture into traveling the U.S. and documenting it along the way.  It was this turn that led to Straight No Chaser.</p>
<p>Listen as Tim talks about his journeys across the United States, the people he got to meet along the way, and where people seemed to be finding the most happiness in their lives, despite sometimes finding themselves in the darkest of circumstances. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/ryan-lindsey/">Ryan Lindsey</a><br />
</em>(Letter from the Editor for Issue II)</h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">First, I want to say thank you to everyone who read (and especially those who purchased) Issue I of <em>WAL Reader</em>. I truly hoped all of you enjoyed it and/or learned something valuable from it – I know that everyone who contributed to the inaugural issue put a lot of work into it.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_238" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-238" style="width: 323px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-238" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/ryan.jpg" alt="ryan" width="323" height="323" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ryan.jpg 960w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ryan-300x300.jpg 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ryan-150x150.jpg 150w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ryan-768x768.jpg 768w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ryan-270x270.jpg 270w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ryan-526x526.jpg 526w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ryan-334x334.jpg 334w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-238" class="wp-caption-text">We’re back! As happy as I was with our first issue, I really think Issue II has raised the bar even more. Thank you for taking the time to check out our magazine – I think the main focus of “immigration” is especially important right now.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Secondly, of course, I want to thank all of you who are now reading the second issue (and again, a special thank you to those of you who purchased it in one form or another). I am extremely proud to be putting out the magazine you’re now holding or looking at on a screen. While I think the first issue was a great success, I believe this second issue has raised the bar.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I am thrilled with the variety of subjects covered in this issue – contributors to this issue talk about the death penalty, universal basic income, the importance of family, reparations, and more. I’m excited that the variety of the magazine’s content is continuing to expand and stretch.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Of course, as you can likely tell from the cover and table of contents, the primary focus of this issue is immigration, one of the most contentious issues among Americans and libertarians. Several talented writers have contributed articles about immigration from a variety of viewpoints about the issue (including positions ranging from open borders to strict border control). I think anyone can find something in this section that they agree with, something that will challenge them, and (undoubtedly) something that will irk them. That’s good, that’s what I want to happen. There’s a bit of fun in being irksome every once in awhile.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:justify;">My Quick Thoughts on Immigration</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Personally, I support open borders, seeing as how I refuse to support violence against non-violent people doing nothing more than crossing an imaginary line drawn up by an imperialist federal government in the 1800s. I believe that cultural diversity (just like intellectual diversity) is a great, great thing – no single culture is superior to others in all (or even most) aspects and all cultures have something to gain from one another. I utterly reject the sense of “Western supremacy” that is present in so many American political ideologies. That being said, I’m not foolish enough to believe that cultural mixing never leads to cultural clashes. Obviously not all aspects of every culture are compatible, but I believe that most of those difference can be resolved peacefully and without government, if the populace is willing to put in the work required for peace.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-235 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/r2q1.png" alt="r2q1" width="399" height="189" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/r2q1.png 995w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/r2q1-300x142.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/r2q1-768x364.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px" />Furthermore, I believe that immigration is a boon for the economy, on the local, regional, and state levels. More individuals means more potential for innovation, contribution, and consumption; I know that potential is not always realized, but it’s still there and worth building up. It makes sense to me that workers from less-developed areas of the globe will be more willing to work the important jobs in America that an increasingly privileged populace is unwilling to. That being said, I’m not naive enough to believe that immigration will never lead to temporary displacement of blue-collar workers or that capitalist employers will never take advantage of immigrant labor in extremely exploitive ways. But I also do not believe that those unfortunate realities can be solved by government border control and economic protectionism.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_237" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-237" style="width: 304px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-237" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/oscar-martinez-valeria.jpg" alt="oscar-martinez-valeria" width="304" height="226"/><figcaption id="caption-attachment-237" class="wp-caption-text">Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his daughter, Valeria drowned in June, 2019 while attempting to cross into the United States. Desperate to better his daughter’s life, Óscar attempted to enter the country illegally after their asylum request was rejected. (Photo from North Texas Dream Team)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Lastly on immigration, I want to utterly denounce the concentration camps that the government is currently running on the Southern border and the gestapo-esque ICE raids on non-violent people throughout the country. The Trump administration’s actions towards migrants is disgusting and I would feel morally-bankrupt if I didn’t use my platform to say so. It’s disgusting how many people believe that migrant children in DHS’s custody do not deserve soap, blankets, or basic childcare. It’s cruel to mock the struggle of migrants trying desperately to better their situations. It’s absurd to support Trump’s desire to force asylum-seekers to wait in the dangerous situations they are attempting to escape from.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For that reason, this issue of <em>WAL Reader</em> is dedicated to Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his daughter, Valeria, who drowned in the Rio Grande river while trying to enter the U.S. after their asylum request was denied. An awful picture of their bodies has been circulated in the media recently and was even mentioned during the first Democratic 2020 primary debate. The image on page 6 is Óscar and Valeria as I imagine their family would like them to be remembered.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:justify;">Echo Chambers</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Like I said at the beginning of this letter, I was very pleased with the first issue of <em>WAL Reader</em> and for the most part, I was very pleased with the feedback I received. By and large, our readers seemed happy with We Are Libertarians’ newest deliverable. However, I was not at all happy with the response to one of the articles in particular (if you follow <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WALReader" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>WAL Reader</em> on Facebook</a>, you likely know which article I’m talking about).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For Issue I, Kenton Merrill wrote <a href="https://walreader.com/2019/05/03/black-red/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a thoughtful and well-researched article</a> on the history of and in favor of the libertarian-socialist ideology. This was one of my favorite articles in the issue because it did challenge so many ideas that I have taken for granted before, it made me think a whole awful lot. Personally, I think thinking’s a good thing.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I guess a lot of libertarians didn’t want to be challenged though. Several individuals and groups not only denounced the article, but the entire magazine and We Are Libertarians network, claiming that we were all “commies”. What a bogus, hilariously-idiotic claim.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Let me be clear: if you are the type of person to launch personal, <em>ad hom</em> attacks against someone due solely to a disagreement on theoretical societal models, <em>WAL Reader</em> doesn’t need your readership or involvement. Unlike many political and libertarian outlets, <em>WAL Reader</em> (and We Are Libertarians in general) does not pride itself in being an echo chamber; in fact, we pride ourselves in exactly the opposite. If an echo chamber is what you’re looking for I can suggest a few other outlets, groups, and caucuses that might be better suited to your tastes (I won’t name those here).</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-236 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/r2q2.png" alt="r2q2" width="1235" height="247" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/r2q2.png 1235w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/r2q2-300x60.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/r2q2-1024x205.png 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/r2q2-768x154.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1235px) 100vw, 1235px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now that that messy bit of housekeeping is out of the way, I hope you all enjoy Issue II of <em>WAL Reader</em>. Again, all I ask is that you read through the following pages with an open mind. I want to thank all the writers who contributed to this issue, as well as Donald Keller for designing this issue’s cover. And of course, to Chris Spangle for starting, growing, and sharing the We Are Libertarians label.</p>
<p>If you want to check out Issue II (which I highly recommend), you can do so <a href="http://walreader.com/e-mag/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><em>By <a href="http://Burning or otherwise desecrating the Americ-an flag is an especially derisive gesture, like urinating on the Washi-ngton Monument or the graves at Arlington Ce-metery. It is an act of such heinous disrespect for the history of the United States and for the millions of men and women who have risk-ed or given their lives to preserve what that flag stands for, that many Americans might react to such a gesture with utter disgust, nat-ionalistic pride, vitriol, or a desire for justice, whether in a court of law or a back alley. Th-ese reactions are under-standable.  Yet, an empathetic case at least as compelling could be made for the outlawing of certain fl-ags which represent a past attempt at disun-ion, and therefore are antithetical to what the American flag represe-nts in their symbolic i-mport: namely, any and all flags associated with the Confederate States of America (especially the battle flag known colloquially as the &quot;sta-rs and bars&quot;). After all, did not the better part of half a million Amer-icans perish to save the union and to ensure its constitutional guarant-ee of liberty would be upheld for all citizens regardless of their im-mutable characteristi-cs?  No, we will not ban the &quot;stars and bars&quot;; we wi-ll not ban the flag of t-he Soviet Union; we wi-ll not ban the flag of N-azi Germany nor any of their other iconogra-phy. We will never aga-in make illegal the de-secration of the flag of the United States of America. The display or destruction of any of these symbols, or any others, no matter what their supposed signific-ance, is protected spee-ch under the First Am-endment of the United States Constitution. N-ot only has this been confirmed in the Supr-eme Court, but it is apparent a priori, since the meaning of any wo-rd or symbol is not inh-erent. More important-ly, free speech must in-clude any and all spe-ech, save threats to violence, no matter how noxious any given indi-vidual finds that spee-ch. Otherwise, the First Amendment becomes an utterly meaningless provision. For, if one sy-mbol can be protected from scrutiny or degra-dation due to its subje-ctive valuation, why ca-nnot any other?  To make symbols sacr-ed is a practice best left to the ecclesiastical au-thorities of the Middle Ages. In a republic such as ours, we must welc-ome heretics, blasphe-mers, dissidents, and the flags which they ch-oose to hoist or burn. If some opinion or symbol offends, the onus of res-ponsibility falls upon the offended, not the of-fender, since they must remain civil and respe-ct the other party's rig-ht to free speech. This seems to be something we have largely forgo-tten, or perhaps not yet learned, as evidenced by the recent uptake in unprovoked political vi-olence, such as the su-cker-punching of white supremacists or the as-saulting of speakers on college campuses. Even in mild forms such as the tossing of milksha-kes at right-wing figur-es, aggression against others for expressing t-heir views is as disturb-ingly authoritarian as the prohibition of flag burning." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">James Hanmer</a></em></h3>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Yet, an empathetic case at least as compelling could be made for the outlawing of certain flags which represent a past attempt at disunion, and therefore are antithetical to what the American flag represents in their symbolic import: namely, any and all flags associated with the Confederate States of America (especially the battle flag known colloquially as the “stars and bars”). After all, did not the better part of half a million Americans perish to save the union and to ensure its constitutional guarantee of liberty would be upheld for all citizens regardless of their immutable characteristics?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No, we will not ban the “stars and bars”; we will not ban the flag of the Soviet Union; we will not ban the flag of Nazi Germany nor any of their other iconography. We will never again make illegal the desecration of the flag of the United States of America. The display or destruction of any of these symbols, or any others, no matter what their supposed significance, is protected speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Not only has this been confirmed in the Supreme Court, but it is apparent <em>apriori</em>, since the meaning of any word or symbol is not inherent. More importantly, free speech must include any and all speech, save threats to violence, no matter how noxious any given individual finds that speech. Otherwise, the First Amendment becomes an utterly meaningless provision. For, if one symbol can be protected from scrutiny or degradation due to its subjective valuation, why cannot any other?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">To make symbols sacred is a practice best left to the ecclesiastical authorities of the Middle Ages. In a republic such as ours, we must welcome heretics, blasphemers, dissidents, and the flags which they choose to hoist or burn. If some opinion or symbol offends, the onus of responsibility falls upon the offended, not the offender, since they must remain civil and respect the other party’s right to free speech. This seems to be something we have largely forgotten, or perhaps not yet learned, as evidenced by the recent uptake in unprovoked political violence, such as the sucker-punching of white supremacists or the assaulting of speakers on college campuses. Even in mild forms such as the tossing of milkshakes at right-wing figures, aggression against others for expressing their views is as disturbingly authoritarian as the prohibition of flag burning.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">The month of June commemorates the impact the LGBTQ+ community has made here in the United States and around the world. June was chosen for pride month because of its connection to the Stonewall riots which occurred in June of 1969. The LGBTQ+ community’s struggle for marriage equality has been a long and hard struggle. Although the Libertarian Party has supported marriage equality since the moment of the party’s conception in 1971, gay marriage only became legal a few years ago in the United States and in many countries around the world it is still illegal. This is one of the many reasons why pride month is important in our society because individual liberty is non-negotiable for a free society.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_243" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-243" style="width: 394px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-243" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/image1.png" alt="image1" width="394" height="217" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/image1.png 519w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/image1-300x165.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-243" class="wp-caption-text">Photo provided by Broward County Libertarian Party</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There is nothing abnormal about consenting adults choosing to engage in behaviors that don’t harm others, two same LGBTQ+ partners choosing to be together doesn’t violate the rights of others. Preventing LGBTQ+ people from participating in the workplace, the government, marriage, etc. is a violation of their individual liberty and personal choice. This doesn’t stop people who seek to violate the rights of the LGBTQ+ community though. A society is as free as it is willing to protect its vulnerable members, therefore pride month is important in the US. Pride month shows the LGBTQ+ community that there are people nationwide that are willing to stand up for their rights against those who would seek to deny the LGBTQ+ community the same rights as straight people.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">LGBTQ+ rights, like all civil rights, are promoted by Libertarians because Libertarians believe that individuals should have the right to pursue their own destinies without the threat of government force. An important value to libertarians is the belief that aggression is inherently wrong and telling two consenting adults that they can’t engage in love or participate in work because of who they choose to love is an act of aggression against them. In order for a society to be a free society, its members must be free. In the land of the free and the home of the brave, LGBTQ+ rights are values that are as American as apple pie and we are better off as a country for it.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">I guess sometimes the best thing to do is just come clean, be open with one’s self and just start with step one of the process of growth and recovery. Hello, I’m Remso W. Martinez and I’m a former lover of Universal Basic Income.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-251 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/yang.png" alt="yang" width="373" height="409" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/yang.png 2669w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/yang-274x300.png 274w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/yang-934x1024.png 934w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/yang-768x842.png 768w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/yang-1402x1536.png 1402w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/yang-1869x2048.png 1869w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px" />It started as a summer fling, like with a girl your parents warned you about, the type of girl your friends have heard rumors about, but everywhere you go, everyone just runs over to tell you how much trouble she is. That’s the problem though; you like trouble, and she’s sending you all the right signals.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This sultry minx, however, was a breed all her own, nobody could claim ownership over her. First I was told she was seen dancing around with Milton Friedman, then I was told she had a dalliance with Martin Luther King Jr. but her first real love was John Locke. Stories were told that French anarchists dug her style, she shacked up with socialists from Scandinavia all the way to American academia. This femme fatal has gone by many names too, ranging from “Basic Income” to “Guaranteed Income”, but everywhere she turns up, the same problems follow.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It’s easy to look back and say its all the woman’s fault, she made me crazy and convinced me the radical ideas she whispered so seductively into my ears were really mine. The truth is though, I was really using her as an excuse, I loved the idea of her but when she wound up in my bed, dancing in my head, I realized this constant back and forth flirtation had to end.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-249 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/milton.png" alt="milton" width="410" height="273" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/milton.png 749w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/milton-300x200.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/milton-718x479.png 718w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px" />Universal Basic Income, in all its names and forms, promises to be everything to everyone. It’s like water because it can be ice and gas and liquid, it can be anything anyone wants it to be but in all actuality, its plain poison. This policy is like any other welfare program, a bandaid on a bullet wound. It ignores that the natural state of man is poverty. It deceives you by telling you that through means of taxation, you’re really just getting your own money back; however, does that justify the theft of it in the first place?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">From beltway libertarian think tanks to #YangGang bros trying to “secure the bag”, the desire for the formulation, perfection, and central planning seduces us like an exotic perfume on a dangerous woman. Is Universal Basic Income better than our impersonal, broken welfare state? Yes, the government is if nothing else good at sending the checks out on time, yet this is equating a horse carriage on fire to a car on fire, you can’t simply rebrand a broken product and hope that consumers can look past the missing pieces, dents, and history of false goods.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So here I am, hurt because I allowed myself to be. Deceived because I deeply wanted to believe, but believe me, beneath her soft exterior, she’s poison calling herself medicine, an economic and cultural suicide pill named Desire. Save your-self the trouble, the next time you think she’s actually good for you, block her number.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Restorative justice is a principle I believe in – I desire a world that makes new, rather than continues to down the tired old path of tearing down. We have tried an eye for an eye for long enough, how about we try something new? Why not try liberation from the washed up ways of faux justice? Restoration is an idea that can break toxic cycles of revenge. It can attempt to make things whole again; this includes the idea of reparations.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Just to be clear, I don’t know exactly how legitimate, ideal reparations will look in the modern age. I don’t know how the exact payment will take place.

This essay intends to explore ways in which reparations can become a reality, and argues that reparations themselves are libertarian.</p>
<h2><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-260 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/cadenas.jpg" alt="cadenas" width="257" height="141"/></h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I believe that if we, as libertarians, are going to take the Non-Aggression Principle seriously, we should be looking to defeat institutions that violate such principle – yes, taxation is theft, but justice also allows for aggression in return. Institutions such as colonialism, racism, imperialism, toxic masculinity are as American as apple pie. I have often read comments on the Internet and talked with people who say things such as “reparations will start a race war!” or those of us who favor such things are “living in the past.” The truth is that slavery was not that long ago, and many who were under the conditions of slavery are still trying to rebound from a system that benefits from inheritance, private property, and white male privilege. No, these systematic institutions are not always easily visible from my personal eyes, but listening to people and trying to understand where they are coming from go a long way.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It was determined by Demos Report, in association of the Institute for Assets and Social Policy at Brandeis University which found that as recently as 2011, the median white household income had $111,146 in wealth holdings, while the median black household income had only $7,113. This racial economic injustice disparity is the direct product of centuries of policies that deliberately excluded and oppressed African Americans. (<em>1</em>)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As Dane Posner, co-member of the Libertarian-Socialist Caucus of the Libertarian Party put it:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Private property ownership in America has been passed down through generations by individuals who slaughtered, or benefited from the slaughter of this land’s original inhabitants. Following the violent seizure of this land, dwellings, factories and other profit-generating structures were constructed through forced involuntary slave labor. <span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:var(--color-text);">Following the abolition of slavery in the United States, former slaves and their descendants were left without homes or compensation for their labor. If the so-called ‘non-aggression principle’ is the pinnacle of all libertarian philosophies, the only just compensation for the centuries of NAP violations that built this country from the ground up would be reparations in the form of money and/or property, at the expense of the descendants of those who benefited from the violent seizure of land, who profited from the involuntary ‘free’ labor of slaves.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-256 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/colonialism_imperialism.png" alt="colonialism_imperialism" width="1471" height="612"/></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The more closely property norms are examined, the further one can see the blood, violence, and illegitimate ways in which private property is acquired. The Native Americans understand this and effects of U.S. colonialism and imperialism.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There is a strong sense of divisiveness that the topic of reparations emits. “Well, I did not personally own any slaves, why should I pay?” My answer to that is the U.S. has already paid reparations to Japanese Americans who were victims of internment camps through the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, signed into law by President Ronald Reagan, and Germany paid reparations to those who were victims of the Nazi regime. Paying the descendants of oppression is not going to kill us. Is it that people believe we are too late to pay for our shames? When is too late? I think now is the time.</p>

<h2>Types of Reparations</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The idea of reparations has two main components: the right of the victim of an injury to receive reparation, and the duty of the party responsible for the injury to provide redress. (<em>2</em>)</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_261" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-261" style="width: 337px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-261" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/ronald_reagan_signing_japanese_reparations_bill.jpg" alt="Ronald_Reagan_signing_Japanese_reparations_bill" width="337" height="234" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ronald_reagan_signing_japanese_reparations_bill.jpg 750w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/ronald_reagan_signing_japanese_reparations_bill-300x208.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-261" class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO FROM THE RONALD REAGAN PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY (Wikimedia Commons). President Ronald Reagan – considered by many to be the most conservative president in the 20th century – signs a reparations law in 1988.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The main ways reparations can be sought by individuals is through judicial systems, or they can be policies introduced by the state to address the concerns or needs of a wider populace. The first strategy is vital in creating legal precedent, the second is certainly a more efficient way to recognize the concerns of groups of people as a whole. While using the state is unpopular amongst libertarian circles (and understandably so), there is and has historically been a libertarian case for using force to combat injustice. Such things like marriage equality and desegregation are examples of this.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The United Nations’ Basic Principles and Guidelines on the Rights to a Remedy and Reparation for Gross Violations of International Human Rights Law and Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law (<em>3</em>) describes the five formal categories of reparations as restitution, compensation, rehabilitation, satisfaction, and guarantees of nonrepetition. The first two of these are the main focal point of the discussion, given that these two of the four listed below have already happened in some situations.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:justify;">Restitution</h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Restitution simply restores something that was lost. It measures to serve victims of injustice in restoring what was taken away. This can include a variety of things related to slavery, but most notably return of property.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:justify;">Damages Compensation</h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The provision of compensation for economic damages that were passed down is currently the most talked about reparation in the political arena. These damages can include monetary loss, but also consist of physical or mental damages that were done.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:justify;">Rehabilitation</h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This can include psychological, medical, social services, and legal assistances.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:justify;">Satisfaction</h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Consists of various measures which include the cessation of human rights violations and abuses, searching for the disappeared, truth-seeking recovery and reburial of remains, judicial and administrative sanctions, public apologies, commemoration, and memorialization.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:justify;">Guarantees of Non-Repetition</h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">These are reforms which insure of the prevention of future abuses, including: civilian control of the military and security forces, strengthening an independent judiciary, protection of civil service and human rights workers, the overall promotion of human rights standards, and the establishment of mechanisms to prevent and monitor social conflict and conflict resolution. Guarantees of non-repetition have already happened in the form of equal rights acts, desegregation and actions that have given African Americans a fair chance in the workplace.</p>

<h2>Murray Rothbard</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Even Murray Rothbard was open to the idea when he wrote the <em>Ethics of Liberty</em>. Albeit, Rothbard admitted the complexities of the situation, this was during his “New Left” stage.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We have indicated above that there was only one possible moral solution for the slave question: immediate and unconditional abolition, with no compensation to the slavemasters. Indeed any compensation should have been the other way—to repay the oppressed slaves for their lifetime of slavery. A vital part of such necessary compensation would have been to grant the plantation lands not to the slavemaster, who scarcely had valid title to any property, but to the slaves themselves, whose labor, on our “homesteading” principle, was mixed with the soil to develop the plantations. In short, at the very least, elementary libertarian justice required not only the immediate freeing of the slaves, but also the immediate turning over to the slaves, again without compensation to the masters, of the plantation lands on which they had worked and sweated. (<em>4</em>)<br />
(From: <em>Ethics of Liberty</em>, chapter 11: “Land Monopoly, Past and Present”.)</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">*Author’s Note: <em>Even though Rothbard supported reparations for the living slaves, I want to be intellectually honest in saying that I do not believe he would support reparations in the form of compensating future generations for the sins of the past. However, his views are very much worth noting in this piece.</em></p>

<h2>Noam Chomsky</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When Noam Chomsky, a fellow libertarian socialist and most notably an Anarcho-Syndicalist, was asked at a Harvard University discussion forum about whether or not he would be supporting reparations, he said: “<em>Would I? Very much so.</em></p>
<p><figure id="attachment_262" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-262" style="width: 370px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-262" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/slavepopulationus1860.jpg" alt="SlavePopulationUS1860" width="370" height="295" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/slavepopulationus1860.jpg 1280w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/slavepopulationus1860-300x239.jpg 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/slavepopulationus1860-1024x817.jpg 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/slavepopulationus1860-768x613.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 370px) 100vw, 370px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-262" class="wp-caption-text">MAP PROVIDED BY U.S. COAST GUARD. This map shows the percentage of county populations comprised of slaves in 1861. Some counties’ populations were more than 90% slave. (Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“<em>Not just African Americans. We ourselves didn’t own slaves, but we – me – are rich and privileged because of the torture of blacks for centuries. And yes we own them reparations.</em>” said Chomsky.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Later, he suggested that any group of people abused by U.S. imperialism should be paid back, saying: “<em>The same with the remnants of Native Americans. Same with countries that we’ve destroyed. What about Iraq? I mean we’ve devastated Iraq, killed hundreds of thousands of people, generated millions of refugees, created sectarian conflict that’s destroying the place. Is it our responsibility? Sure.</em>” said Chomsky.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“<em>I think the call for reparations is very legitimate,</em>” he added. (<em>5</em>)</p>

<h2>Reparations as a Call to Action</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">An anarchist idea which I am intrigued by is the idea of reparations as a verb. This is the idea that as the Black Autonomy Network puts it:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">…isn’t a demand to be made of the state, not for 40 acres and a mule (with inflation adjusted) or anything else. Along with reparations as a demand, we are also not interested in it delivered through capitalist property relations or economics (any economics). We agree with Saidiya Hartman when she says “I refuse to believe that the slave’s most capacious political claims or wildest imaginings are for back wages or debt relief. There are too many lives at peril to recycle the forms of appeal that, at best, have delivered the limited emancipation against which we now struggle.” We re-conceptualize reparations as an action, an attack on the order built off of our stolen labor – our stolen lives – which confines our existence to slavery, to wages and debt, to prisons and death, not just 500 years ago but today, here and now.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:var(--color-text);">As libertarian socialists, many of us view the act of reparations as the forms taken in which our liberation already exists. The ways in which our communities have had to exist outside of the law, outside of the economy, to take care of ourselves and each other… The autonomous zones that form in riots when we kick the police our of our neighborhoods. The breakdown of property relations when we loot the commodities we can’t afford but are told to want, only separated from us by the threat of state violence and a window, and share them with strangers on the streets. These acts of survival and attack carry in them the forms of organization and social relations that will open space for anarchy, and it is from these that we move to the liberation of territory, the destruction of work and the economy, and the abolition of the state and its physical manifestations. (</span><em style="background-color:#ffffff;color:var(--color-text);">6</em><span style="background-color:#ffffff;color:var(--color-text);">)</span></p>

<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As a libertarian socialist, many would say that the only true way of making reparations whole is through the transfer of private property. This may be true, but I also lean favoring pragmatic ways of working toward justice and equality. In ordinary western libertarian circles, words such as “equality” may be seen as one for the progressives, but in my view it is as libertarian as the word liberty itself. If liberty isn’t for all, then it isn’t liberty at all. That, to me, includes economic justice.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-257 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/k2q1.png" alt="k2q1" width="418" height="223" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/k2q1.png 947w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/k2q1-300x160.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/k2q1-768x410.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px" />I challenge libertarians of all ideological backgrounds to consider reparations in the present time. Using the state as a response to aggression to carry out justice, I’d argue, is not only progressive, it’s libertarian.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">No, I don’t have all the answers. However, I do stand with those who dream of a better America <em>–</em> one in which the systems which it has been built upon are finally completely torn down <em>–</em> a country that actually takes justice seriously. My hope is that someday we truly mean it when we utter the words “Liberty and Justice for ALL.”</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">On the 4th of July every year we celebrate our independence once again. While reading our declaration, it brings to question whether or not we still have the liberties, accurate representation, and fair and just laws that were hard fought to attain. It brings to mind that we may need to seek our independence once again. Not to separate ourselves from a tyrannical dictator, but to free ourselves from a government that has long since for-gotten what liberty is.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We celebrate, every year, the day we declared that our nation shall be free and independent of an empire that sought to control us without adequate representation and the fight for this freedom would take another seven bloody years to attain after this declaration.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-267 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/capture.png" alt="Capture" width="424" height="481" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/capture.png 590w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/capture-265x300.png 265w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px" />Our forefathers stated in their <em>Declaration of Independence</em> that all men are created equal and are endowed with the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and that government should be derived from the consent of the governed. They set fourth to make each independent colony a state (or country) of it’s own with independent local governments to better handle their own people and for each state to reflect the will of their people through lo-cal representation, unlike the detached control Brittan had.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In the midst of rebellion for our independence, we formed the <em>Articles of Confederation</em>. An agreement between these thirteen independent states to help preserve ea-ch other’s independence and fully legitimize congress to vote on common laws for each state government to abide by. By 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed and our in-dependence was attained.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A mere six years later in 1789 we revised the <em>Articles</em> and “in order to form a more perfect union” the constitution was signed. This has been the state of our union and the basis of our operating principles since.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is with this history in mind that I am sad to see that we have forgotten our fight for liberty and the mechanisms that caused us to seek independence two-hundred and forty three years ago are coming to pass again.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Let facts be submitted to a candid world:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has refused approval of laws, the mo-st wholesome and necessary for the public good.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has prevented passing laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspend-ed in their operation till federal consent should be obtained; and when so suspended, has utterly neglected to attend to them.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people by gerrymandering, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature by vote, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has called together voters at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them in-to compliance with its measures.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has dissolved or intentionally hindered representative parties repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness its invasions on the rights of the people.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, where-by the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have turned to the police for their exercise; the people remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of their laws.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has endeavored to pr-event the population of these States; for the purpose obstructing t-he laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions to procure private lands for a wall in this endeavor.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has obstructed the administration of justice by refu-sing to permit laws establishing a jury of peers for all cases where judgment may restrict the rights of a person, incur imprisonment, or otherwise incur a large debt to be owed.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has made judges dependent on its political will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries, with due reliance on contributions by jurisdictional lawyers who seek in-kind rulings to subvert justice itself.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has erected a multitude of new prisons, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass the people for citations or imprisonment with victimless crimes; to, with-out warrant, search the property of the people and confiscate their sub-stance by way of civil as-set forfeiture.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has affected to render the military in-dependent of and superior to the Civil Power and has forced conscription of the people into this service against their will.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has combined with companies to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving its permission to their acts of pretended legislation:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">For protecting them, by a mock trial from punishment for any murders or unjust acts which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">For imposing Taxes on us with-out our consent;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">For depriving people in many cases, of the benefit of trial by jury;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">For transporting people beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">For abolishing many systems of foreign laws in global provinces, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule of democracy on other lands;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">For ignoring the Bill of Rights, abolishing our most valuable laws and altering fundamentally the natural freedoms inherent to each of these rights;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">For suspending the people’s ability to act independently for their own needs, with full domain and consent for their own bodies and declaring itself invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, poisoned the water of our towns, made a crime of owning plants, and with this, has destroyed the lives of our people.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> is at this time trans-porting armies to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unbecoming of a civilized nation.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has constrained our fellow citizens to bear arms against their family, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Government</em> has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to extremitize the inhabitants of other nations, the merciless terrorists whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by silence and a POTUS, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, unfit to be the leader of a free people.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We cannot let our freedom become forgotten in river of time. Slowly eroded year after year until the immovable boulder that was once our constitution has become a pebble in the hands of a tyrant.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Can I be honest? Immigration is not a pet issue of mine.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It has never ranked highly in my political awareness, I don’t tend to traffic in the latest statistics or partisan trends, and I don’t subscribe to any of the sensational viewpoints. As with so many other policy areas, the debate has been forced into two largely opposing viewpoints: those who would seemingly allow unhampered immigration and those who would crack down heavily and spend more resources attempting to wall off vast stretches of border territory.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_272" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-272" style="width: 6004px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-272" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/ezgif.com-webp-to-jpg-e1563223057342.jpg" alt="ezgif.com-webp-to-jpg" width="6004" height="3686" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-272" class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO BY BRENDAN MCDERMID (REUTERS)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But I’ve been a bit frustrated by some of the talking points that have been floating around in conservative, even Christian, circles around the issue. Often, in politics, we like to boil our arguments down to sloganeering or pithy retorts that, while sometimes powerful for a moment, don’t actually amount to adequately capturing or explaining the true issue at hand. Immigration is no exception. So, as I’ve done with other topics in the past, I thought I might attempt to bring some clarity to the issue to help you think more clearly the next time you find yourself discussing this heated subject.</p>
<h2>A Fundamental Misunderstanding of the Union</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Conservative arguments regarding immigration are unsurprisingly often rooted in a sense of national unity, a sense of patriotism and common culture. Conservatives also commonly consider themselves staunch supporters of Constitutionalism and believe that their positions represent an originalist interpretation of the Constitution and the views of the founders themselves.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The problem with this view is that it demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the original union of states. The United States has never constituted one nation, a singular entity with common culture. Undoubtedly, most European colonists did share some common values in regards to political culture but they also widely differed both in demography and politics as well. Take, for instance, the difference between the more Puritan northeast with its varying degrees of religious intolerance, with church membership requirements and trinitarian laws, and the southern states like Virginia, with its much more religiously tolerant political climate.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As Brion McClanahan adroitly states, “<em>We can’t be a ‘nation’ because a ‘nation’, by definition, is a people with similar language, customs, traditions, religion, etc. Northern and Southern Americans certainly have some things in common, maybe many, but their differences are often night and day. Everyone knows it, they just don’t understand why that is important.</em>“</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is from this fundamental founding fact that we further consider that the states reigned supreme in early America as the primary political entity. An American was a citizen of his/her state first and foremost, then secondarily a citizen of the United States. And, under that original Constitutional order, the primary task of immigration was reserved to the states, not the general government.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This sentiment was expressed well by the <em>Kentucky Resolutions of 1798</em>, drafted by Thomas Jefferson in response to the <em>Alien and Sedition Acts</em> earlier passed by Congress, the relevant resolution explaining “<em>That alien friends are under the jurisdiction and protection of the laws of the State wherein they are: that no power over them has been delegated to the United States, nor prohibited to the individual States, distinct from their power over citizens.</em>“</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Given this background, the Constitutionality of immigration proposals changes perspective dramatically. Consider that so-called “sanctuary cities”, within this paradigm, become not some exclusively progressive phenomenon of gross unconstitutionality, but a bold act of nullification in response to federal encroachment. Consider as well that the Constitution gives states the freedom to define voting requirements apart from a handful of protected categories. This offers much needed perspective to past outrage over states giving illegal aliens driver’s licenses or the potential right to vote. Whether those actions are positive or wise is one matter, but their Constitutionality is another.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-277 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/a2q1.png" alt="a2q1" width="377" height="207" />Many may confuse the powers of the general government to control the process of naturalization vs. the powers of the states to control immigration into their borders. Michael Boldin of the Tenth Amendment Center refers us to the 18th century definition of naturalization as “<em>The act of investing aliens with the privileges of native subjects</em>“, which is far different from any sense of control over whether one is free to enter, reside within, work in, or leave any given state. Granted, at the time, those “privileges” of native subjects did not include vast welfare program benefits and access to public infrastructure and resources. But that is not in itself an argument against proper Constitutionality.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As much as conservatives may like to view their position as Constitutional, the history begs to differ. Allowing immigration control at the state level, allowing federalism to handle conflicts and differences from state to state, would help greatly in achieving a more just state of immigration in America.</p>
<h2>Welfare State</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Despite the way that it might be portrayed, there are no clear two, three, etc. solutions to immigration within any of the prevailing political philosophies. And libertarianism is no exception. There is a spectrum of positions within libertarian circles that are held, spanning from completely immediate open borders, to some form of border security and immigration restriction, even up to a wall, with a myriad of positions between.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Those extremes are not held by only fringe figures within the movement. “Open border” libertarians usually include more progressive-leaning converts and those from policy think tanks like the CATO Institute, as well as some within the “Anarcho-Capitalist” category of libertarian philosophy. But there are just as many prominent figures who do not support unhindered immigration. Many of those affiliated with the Mises Institute or influenced by its benefactors, like Lew Rockwell and Hans Herman-Hoppe, find completely open borders to be antithetical to liberty. Even Murray Rothbard, patron saint of pure Anarcho-Capitalists, adjusted his view over time and, in later life, made what many consider to be an aboutface on the principle of immigration:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">However, on rethinking immigration on the basis of the anarcho-capitalist model, it became clear to me that a totally privatized country would not have ‘open borders’ at all. If every piece of land in a country were owned by some person, group, or corporation, this would mean that no immigrant could enter there unless invited to enter and allowed to rent, or purchase, property. A totally privatized country would be as ‘closed’ as the particular inhabitants and property owners desire. It seems clear, then, that the regime of open borders that exists <em>de facto</em> in the U.S. really amounts to a compulsory opening by the central state, the state in charge of all streets and public land areas, and does not genuinely reflect the wishes of the proprietors.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But it is here that we see both a commonality and departure with the modern conservative argument for restricted immigration and the libertarian argument for the same. Whatever position the libertarian of today holds regarding immigration, they hold it, if they understand the philosophy, based on a full and healthy regard for property rights. Whereas the conservative argument is often made that one cannot have a welfare state and open immigration more or less on the merits of pragmatism more than principle.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is here that I want to call into question the purity of the conservative’s intentions with this argument. It is good and well that they recognize the insolubility of the welfare state and free immigration and in some examples they may even cede the case that, in an ideal world, without that welfare state, immigration should be free. If this is the case, then I’d argue the conservative actually holds a libertarian position already. As with arguments regarding the feasibility of socialism, once the ideal is ceded, for instance that “in an ideal world, socialism would be possible”, the argument forever becomes how to approach that ideal; the argument is basically already won and becomes a mere simple exercise in logistics.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For modern conservatives who argue against free immigration on the basis of the welfare state, I would also call into question their consistency. With the demise of the Tea Party movement of the previous decade, honest conservative opposition to the welfare state is virtually nonexistent. Where do we truly see conservatives pushing for rolling back Great Society programs like Medicare or Medicaid? When has the repeal of Social Security been a leg of a party platform? Where is the abolition of the Federal Reserve, effectively welfare for the financial sector, a priority? As we have said before, at root, almost all government programs at some level represent a form of welfare. And yet, a conservative would not dare question the existence of most of these programs. Their political support and, indeed, their own livelihood often rests on their existence and health.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-278 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/a2q2.png" alt="a2q2" width="1509" height="266" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But, worst of all, arguing for tougher immigration restrictions and border security investment while also mourning the existence of the welfare state represents unwitting hypocrisy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">How? Simply this. That the erection of such a wall, the protection of such borders, all represent the effective subsidization of those whose property is located near those borders. It is wealth redistribution at a foundational level.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If this point does not resonate immediately, let us consider another similar example. Every year, hurricane season in the United States threatens to damage billions of dollars in lives and property along the eastern coastline of the United States. Federal and state programs like FEMA flood insurance and disaster response are large programs which reduce the burden of those living in the affected areas in the case that damage should occur. But if the brunt of paying for these programs rests with those who receive no direct benefit from them, these programs effectively shift the burden from the property owners to others. Instead of making pure economic decisions of cost and benefit of living in an affected area, they are distorted by subsidized programs; in other words, welfare programs.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Border security is very similar. Only a small number of states border non-US territory and far fewer residents live in close proximity to it. Those residents would receive greater benefit from such programs at the expense of those who see far less benefit. Instead of choosing to relocate or bear the costs of security themselves, that security would be subsidized and the costs distorted.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Would other U.S. citizens benefit? Most likely. But let’s call it what it is. Immigration restrictions, a border wall, all represent a growth of the welfare state, not a reduction.</p>
<h2>Border Security</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A common refrain concerning free immigration that seems to have grown in popularity in many circles is that of locks on the doors and windows of a home. “<em>You want free immigration?</em>” they ask. “<em>Would you not lock your doors or your windows? Then leave your home open for anyone to come in at anytime, your property and persons unprotected? This is what you must accept in order to have more open borders.</em>”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">At first, this sort of reasoning may seem persuasive. But is it an actual analog or parallel to something like a border wall or tougher immigration restrictions?</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-275 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/usbp-atv-patrol-carousel.png" alt="USBP-ATV-Patrol-Carousel" width="1200" height="450" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/usbp-atv-patrol-carousel.png 1200w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/usbp-atv-patrol-carousel-300x113.png 300w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/usbp-atv-patrol-carousel-1024x384.png 1024w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/usbp-atv-patrol-carousel-768x288.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">First, we should think on why, exactly, we have locks on our homes. The simple answer would be that there are valuable items, possessions and people, inside, in a concentrated quantity, and secure walls and entrances help to provide a mostly sufficient means of protecting those valuables from most undesired access. But no one that I am aware of is asking that immigrants be provided unfettered access to someone’s personal possessions or personal homes. Someone desiring to cross the border into another political boundary is actually more akin to a stranger walking in your front yard.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now, many may very well object to free people freely moving within even their own personal land boundary and there are also solutions to that. The white picket fence around one’s yard is classic Americana and serves as a friendly reminder to neighbors and passersby that they are welcome, just at a distance. As well, many other options are readily seen surrounding homes and businesses, from chain link fences of various heights, to barbed wire, to electric fencing, etc. But, even so, out of those who would object to inviting a stranger into their own home, far fewer would object to a stranger passing through their yard on their way to somewhere else with no intent to harm property or remain unwanted. And, even so, this is an issue that already exists without the factor of immigration and the absence of fences around the average suburban home indicates that even a modicum of security granted by a fence around their own yard is not worth the monetary cost or peace of mind that it provides.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-279 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/a2q3.png" alt="a2q3" width="379" height="215" />But even this analogy does not describe a massive wall protecting political borders. Instead, imagine that we had not a yard but an estate, spanning multiple acres. In this instance, a stranger passing through one corner of an otherwise vast property, the lengths of which would not even be visible, their presence not felt at all, would reduce that otherwise small number of objectors to a handful. And while that presence may still not be desired, the amount of labor and cost to erect and maintain a sufficient bulwark against intrusion upon a land of that size would make such a construction very rare.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And yet, this is still not a representative case. For one, the land that would be protected, in the case of even the smallest countries, much less huge swaths of land like the American Union, represent these same economic calculations but at a monumental scale. The land that might be trespassed upon in these cases belongs to no clear private owner with clear delineations of borders or is public property to which none has exclusive claims. We must ask ourselves: if a household would not find it worth the cost to erect even a decorative fence with little added security, what fiscal motive would there be to protect land with little to none of the same value as a home would contain?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But secondly, and more importantly, tougher universal immigration restrictions and border walls actually represent something even more unjust. It is obvious that those in America are viscerally split on issues of immigration and yet both sides within the spectrum seem to demand an “across the board” solution for everyone: wall or no wall; vetting or no vetting. Recall that government intrusion by force in any area of life, especially immigration, does not only restrict the freedom of those wishing to immigrate but it also restricts the freedom of those who wish to have them immigrate; those who wish to do business with, rent to, and live alongside those wishing to immigrate.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Indeed, imposing tougher border security on borders as vast and unrepresentative of the political populace is not failing to keep one’s own home locked.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-280 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/a2q4.png" alt="a2q4" width="405" height="338" />In this example, imposing tougher border security on borders as vast and unrepresentative of the political populace is actually forcing others to keep their own homes locked.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This was very telling during the middle years of the Syrian Civil War crisis, when governments in Europe and the Americas were pressured to take on refugees. The debate largely centered on whether governments had a responsibility to take on these refugees and whether they were right to force their citizens to take on that burden. While it is right to make a distinction between whether any moral duty to care for the “sojourner” or refugee extends any further than the individual, it is equally heinous to actively prevent those who would desire to take on such a burden and responsibility themselves from doing so.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Any human being is free and just to determine what is done with their own property. It is quite unjust to force another to do what you yourself would rather have done with it.</p>
<h2>The Bottom Line</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I offer no sweeping policy proposition for reaching sanity or a lasting resolution on the issue of immigration in the United States. As with other situations where we find ourselves “between a rock and a hard place”, there may exist simple principles that would guide our ideal destination with no simple path available to realize them. But if we care about liberty, any possible solution must take into account these points and others.</p>

<hr />
<p style="text-align:justify;">As I write, there are several thousand non-European refugees outside Calais, all trying to enter the United Kingdom. Because they are disrupting travel across the Channel in the main holiday season, the British media has no choice but to report on their presence, and to keep reporting. Their presence is followed by the British public in part because of the disruption, but mainly, I think, because of what they visibly represent.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Britain, together with every country like Britain, is faced with an inward movement of peoples no smaller in extent than the mass-emigrations from Europe that settled North America and Australasia, and perhaps as great in its effects as the incursions from across the Rhine and Danube that transformed the Western Provinces of the Roman Empire. We face a mass-immigration from the Third World that may eventually double or treble our populations, and that will, by inevitable force of numbers, make us minorities in what we have so far considered to be our homelands.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What have we, as libertarians, to say about this?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The mainstream response, I suggest, has been unsatisfactory. For the libertarian mainstream, the only legitimate use of force is to protect individual rights. Since movement across a border is not in itself a violation of individual rights, closing the borders is, by definition, an illegitimate use of force. Therefore, the libertarian mainstream is formally opposed to immigration control.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Of course, libertarians are not blind. They are usually aware of the crime and welfare dependency, and of the demands for accommodation to the ways of the newcomers – demands increasingly backed by threats of terrorism, or by actual terrorism. They are also sometimes aware of how the arrival of the newcomers has been used as an excuse by our ruling classes to abolish freedom of speech and association, and to create a multicultural police state, and to reverse the gradual equalisation of classes that has taken place since about 1850. Many are quietly troubled by the demographic projections.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_285" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-285" style="width: 336px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-285" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/hans-hermann_hoppe.jpg" alt="Hans-Hermann_Hoppe" width="336" height="224" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-285" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by HENRIQUE VICENTE (Wikimedia Commons) Hans-Hermann Hoppe has been one of the most controversial voices in libertarian and populist circles, especially in regards to issues surrounding immigration.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Their response, though, has been to look more at treating symptoms than at addressing the cause. They call for a smaller welfare state, to discourage the more undesirable sort of newcomers. They call for an end to the censorship and coerced association laws. Or they turn for comfort to a partial reading of Hans-Hermann Hoppe, and insist that neither mass-immigration not its effects would exist in a free world.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But none of this will do. State welfare will not be abolished in the short term. Even if it were, coming here to beg in the streets would be a better option for many immigrants than staying put. It is difficult to argue for freedom of speech, when it will only provoke rioting and the sort of targeted murders we saw in Paris earlier this year. And, whatever solutions might have emerged in a free world – however the problem might not have emerged in a free world – we live in a world of overextended states. These have crowded out alternative institutions, and these institutions are a work of many decades or even centuries.</p>
<h2>We Are Where We Are.</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Either mass-immigration must be stopped with the means currently at hand, or it will not be stopped. This means passports and visas, and agencies empowered to seek out and return those who slip through the first line of immigration control. Where the refugees in Calais are concerned, it means deporting them to the last non-European country they left, and making sure that no more of them are allowed to reach the northern shores of the Mediterranean.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This is, I hasten to add, only part of the solution. Our governments must also stop turning much of the Third World into slagheaps soaked in human blood. They must stop veering between support of local tyrants and their more recent insistence on forms of government inappropriate to actual conditions. They must, so far as possible, leave other peoples to work out their own destinies in their own ways. This will, I have no doubt, reduce the outward push behind the migrants. Even so, we must secure our own borders.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-290 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q3.png" alt="q3" width="674" height="368" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now, for many of those libertarians who accept the existence of a problem, this solution is itself a problem. An ideology that cannot be followed in extreme cases must be a false ideology. If the non-aggression principle is not to be consistently applied, is it worth applying at all?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I appreciate the difficulty. At the same time, it is a manufactured difficulty. It would not have been recognised as a difficulty by most of our intellectual ancestors. If many libertarians, when they think about mass-immigration, are now beginning to look like scared ostriches, or the more double-joined Indian fakirs, this is not because of any defect in the libertarian fundamentals. It is because, over the past few decades, libertarianism has been reinterpreted in ways that part company with reality. To be specific, the non-aggression principle has been raised from something to be desired within circumstantial constraints to an abstract and absolute imperative. If the only legitimate use of force is to protect individual rights, all other uses of force are illegitimate, and must be rejected out of hand by libertarians.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Let us consider how distant this imperative is from reality.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>First</strong></em>, look at the nature of the imperative. It is not something written into the basic laws of the universe. There is a line of verbal trickery, culminating perhaps in Ayn Rand, that tries to establish individual rights with the same firmness as we recognise the nature of a circle, or are able to know the melting point of lead. But, unless you want to claim that God wants us to be free – a claim attended by difficulties still unsettled after several thousand years – your assertion of rights is no more than a request for other people to leave you alone. If your request is rejected in whatever degree, you must either put up with being less free than you would like, or choose between defensive force and escape.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_291" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-291" style="width: 450px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-291" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/wien_-_westbahnhof_migranten_am_5_sep_2015.jpg" alt="Wien_-_Westbahnhof,_Migranten_am_5_Sep_2015" width="450" height="300" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-291" class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO BY BWAG@GMX.NET (Wikimedia Commons). Thousands of migrants from Africa and the Middle East wait to board a train in Germany. (Wikimedia Commons).</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Second</strong></em>, there is no reason to believe that most people want to be free in the sense demanded by libertarians. This is not to deny the value of freedom. When those who want to be free are enslaved, everyone else may suffer. But most people, in all times and places, have been content to be free only in the sense allowed to teenage children, or to the citizens of an authoritarian police state. They want to be free to choose what colour shoes to wear, or whether to lie in on a Sunday morning. Beyond that, they are willing to leave all the other choices to custom or the direction of those set over them. Wherever this has not been the case, freedom has generally been granted unrequested from above, or it has been demanded as one item in a package of more highly-valued goods.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><strong>Third</strong></em>, what most people do want is an identity beyond themselves. This may be provided by a religion. Most often, it is provided by a sense of shared nationality. People join together with those who share their blood, their language, their basic assumptions and habits of thought. They research and celebrate their history. They take consolation for their own death as individuals in the belief that their nation will continue indefinitely into the future.</p>
<h2>As with the Non-Aggression Principle,</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">nationhood is not an abstract imperative. It is, however, an immensely powerful desire, shown in all times and places of which we have knowledge. People will kill for their nation. They will die for it. When committed for the sake of their nation, they will condone what would otherwise be thought the most shocking crimes. They regard their own lives and property as leasehold interests in a freehold held by the nation as a whole. However they began, and whatever else they do, states are regarded as legitimate so far as they perform their duties as agent of the national freeholder.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">You may insist: “<em>I am not part of any collective. I have no group interests. I am a sovereign individual.</em>” In a country like England, you will not be killed for saying this, or shunned by your neighbours. But your wishes will be ignored. You will be punished if you are caught breaking the laws of your country, or if you refuse too openly to pay your taxes. Again, there is no abstract right or wrong in this. It is just what happens, and what most people want to happen.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If, on the other hand, there are enough people in a nation who share your belief – or if the authorities choose with sufficient firmness to outlaw national feeling – the natural consequence is that your nation will lose out to other nations that remain more cohesive.</p>
<h2>This Brings me to Immigration.</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The scale of what we presently face seems likely to turn majorities into minorities. I repeat that this is neither good nor bad in the abstract. But there are plain dangers in belonging to a separate and visible nationality that lacks its own territory and machinery of state. Though often tolerated, minorities are not always tolerated. They are under permanent threat of a range of harms bounded by forced assimilation and murder.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-288 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q1.png" alt="q1" width="434" height="511" />The Israelis know this very well. Where non-Jews are concerned, they operate one of the most restrictive immigration policies in the world. They flatly refuse any “right of return” to the descendants of the Arabs they once expelled, and they are surrounding their country with steel fences. Israel is their Jewish State, and they will do whatever it takes to keep it so. The white Rhodesians and white South Africans have discovered the same truth. It was a truth discovered by all the peoples displaced by European settlers – why else did the Maoris and Red Indians fight such hopeless wars of resistance, once the immigrant ships began arriving in earnest? Though it cannot be forthrightly discussed, given our multicultural police state, it is a truth known well enough in Britain and every country like Britain.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What all this means for libertarians is that we have, for the past few decades, been trying to explain and influence the world with the equivalent of a non-Euclidean geometry. Not surprisingly, our movement has got nowhere. Not surprisingly, many of us are now scratching our heads and asking how, if we have been reasoning correctly from our premises, what we conclude about mass-immigration is so at variance with what we and most other people really believe.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_287" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-287" style="width: 4320px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-287" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/migrants_at_eastern_railway_station_-_keleti_2015.09.04_1.jpg" alt="Migrants_at_Eastern_Railway_Station_-_Keleti,_2015.09.04_(1)" width="4320" height="3240" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-287" class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO BY ELEKES ANDOR (Wikimedia Commons). Refugees sit, lie, and wait in a Budapest railway station, waiting to move further into the continent.</figcaption></figure></p>
<h2>The Answer, I Suggest,</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">is to bring libertarianism back to the realities of human nature. Lack of belief in wide-open borders should cease <span style="color:var(--color-text);">to be regarded as at best a derogation from the orthodox view. Instead, we should accept that we are members of a nation, and that our nation is </span><span style="color:var(--color-text);">precious to us – so precious that we want it to be free. There are sound utilitarian arguments for freedom of speech and association, for due process of law, for minimal taxes and regulation, and for a non-interventionist foreign policy. Though they do not exist in the abstract, rights do exist in a nation state, where they can be seen as nodes in the permanent circuitry of power.</span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-289 alignleft" style="text-align:justify;" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q2.png" alt="q2" width="455" height="357" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Whether directly or by secondary benefit, free people are happier than unfree people. This is to be welcomed. And a free nation, there can be no reasonable doubt, is richer and more powerful than less free nations, and is better able to defend its territory and its way of life.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Considered in this light, libertarianism is not a prescription for letting be done to ourselves what we did to the Maoris. It is instead part of a strategy for group survival and advancement.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_284" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-284" style="width: 377px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-284 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/160303-d-bd182-032.jpg" alt="160303-D-BD182-032" width="377" height="251" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-284" class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO BY BEN WHITE (Wikimedia Commons). Refugees from Syria and Iraq get off a boat in Greece.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">None of this means asserting that we are morally or genetically better than other nations. We do not need to hate other nations, or to wish them ill. We may find it useful, now and again, to learn from them, or to encourage them to learn from us. If the most vocal opponents of mass-immigration at present are authoritarians, this is entirely an accident of fashion. There is no necessary connection between wanting our own country for ourselves and wanting a despotic government. Just as authoritarians and libertarians both wear trousers, or drink coffee, there is no reason why they should not both believe in their nation – though they might have radically different ideas of how and to what extent it should be governed.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">That we belong to a nation, and that we want our nation to be free, is a better start to a conversation with non-libertarians than the usual output of the libertarian movement. It is also a better start to a conversation with ourselves.</p>

<p>Before explaining the issue that is illegal migration of humans, is is necessary to first dispel several social stigmas:</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_302" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-302" style="width: 392px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-302" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/migrant.jpg" alt="Migrant" width="392" height="261" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-302" class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO BY THOMAS CASTELAZO (Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p>I unequivocally reject the notion that those who believe in border control are the bigots, racists, and xenophobes they are often branded as by the media. Most are justifiably concerned that an unmitigated flow of people will change the world around them.</p>
<p>Undoubtedly, they are correct to believe this. Since it can take 21 years or more (<em>1</em>) in order to get into the United States legally, allowing the 4.4 million people waiting (<em>2</em>) to get into the United States immediately sounds like it might funnel too many families in a tube that is not large enough. These figures do not include the portion of the planetary population that does not bother to try to legally immigrate due to the prohibitively long waiting time. The goal of this article is not to dismiss these concerns – in fact, I acknowledge their validity – but to respond to them using examples from economics, history, mathematics, and ethics, in an effort to make the intensity of information match the intensity of intention for those who are concerned.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-303 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/section_image.png" alt="Section_Image" width="707" height="173" /></p>
<h2>Absurdity 1: Economical Brokenness</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We should not forget that enforced borders, whether by a wall, gate, or human deployment, is a socialist agenda (<em>3</em>). This often seems like a petty insult aimed to infuriate the Republicans, but it is accurate nonetheless. Indeed, tax-payers at large are forced to sponsor a system and structure that does not benefit everyone equally (and is actually quite damaging to some (<em>4</em>)). It exists in direct opposition to capitalism as there is but a single entity that would be tasked with such enforcement, removing it from the competitive market.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The flippant response to those who favor open migration is often, “<em>Then I hope you don’t lock your doors at night,</em>” which is not only is a false dichotomy, but also incidentally proves the very capitalist nature of open borders. If each individual is charged with defending his or her own property, businesses will be created and they will expand and compete to protect these homes. The expectation is that monopoly on border control would look much like any other government monopoly; overly expensive and ineffective.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-296 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q1-1.png" alt="q1" width="355" height="404" />To the political philosopher, the fact that this protectionism is a mandate of socialism is hardly a shock. A system of government that taxes based on income and redistributes based on population must, by rule, have control over the incomes of the population as well as the quantity of the population in order to maintain any sort of economic stability whatsoever.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There is an oddity among the right-wing today as a result of not being well versed in political science. In general, they loathe welfare yet support limiting immigration, supporting a wall which, unbeknownst to them, is necessary to keep the welfare state alive. Their diagnosis of the situation is spot on; the model we use for welfare is not sustainable and countries that used it are falling apart one-by-one (<em>5</em>). Their issue is with the financial logic. Border control allows the government to continue this broken system for a few more generations, whereas countries that do not protect their borders (<em>6</em>) learn they must adopt policies that do not involve welfare (<em>7</em>).</p>

<h2>Absurdity 2: Historical Blindness</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">U.S. Historians take particular note in finding that those who drafted the Constitution intended for it to pertain to all people (<em>8</em>) who considered themselves Americans. In fact, the authors specified when a certain qualification pertained to only legal or naturalized citizens, the rest of the document, by default, was established for everyone else. When asked to elaborate, Thomas Paine stated that anyone of “good character” (<em>9</em>) could call themselves an American citizen. Congress reaffirmed this through legislation in 1790, granting that anyone who had lived in the country for two years was an automatic citizen. The process would become faster to those who migrated by boat in the early 1900s, who often could have their entire family achieve citizenship after a few hours (<em>10</em>), after a brief screening for diseases and dangerous background. With the technology today, the processing speeds would be even quicker by the same standards.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Of course, this process had to end in order for welfare to establish itself. The first programs (<em>11</em>) began in the 1930s, after the Supreme Court had issued several rulings, starting in 1872 (<em>12</em>), that allowed Congress to crack down on the number of these opportunity seekers. History teaches that these immigrants flooded into the United States in order to build better lives for themselves and the notion of anchor babies and welfare leeches came after the borders were restricted and federal programs were established, not before them.</p>

A group of newly-arrived immigrants arrive and pass through Ellis Island in New York. <br />(Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This was already well understood by those who had heeded the situation in Europe and followed the battles of the economists that raged after the fall of feudalism. Fixed borders did not mask bad economic policy, they enabled bad economic policy. There is much written about the Germans seizing the area of Alsace-Lorraine and how this course of action led Europe and, tragically, America, into both World Wars. What is not as well researched, except by economists, is why Germany had a need to seize this land to begin with.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is nearly forgotten in the modern era how the government needed no income tax (<em>13</em>) to operate. It wasn’t until 1892 that America established the first peacetime income tax to help pay for the debt. Sadly, that tax was justified by debt and, in doing so, ignored the warnings from Europe that such a course of action leads to wars over borders. The United Kingdom technically beat the Germans in the race to create an income tax, but they had natural borders as defined by an ocean around their island. Germany was not so lucky. In order to tax income, a country must know which citizens are theirs. They also have an economic incentive to take more money, which means claiming more people.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_300" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-300" style="width: 323px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-300" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/border_patrol-e1563398428732.jpg?w=323" alt="" width="323" height="538" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-300" class="wp-caption-text">Government agents lead suspects in custody during an immigration sting on June 5, 2018 in Castalia, Ohio.

<p style="text-align:justify;">This shattered the peace in Alsace-Lorraine, where French and German people once peacefully lived side-by-side. After changing their tax code, Germany violently seized the region. Taxation, by direct correlation, necessitated borders, which, in turn, necessitated war. The French, not yet having implemented the income tax, did not understand Germany’s sudden thirst for land, people, and violence. German Historian Heinrich von Treitschke said of the seizure in 1871, “<em>We Germans who know Germany and France know better what is good for the Alsatians than the unfortunates themselves. In the perversion of their French life they have no exact idea of what concerns Germany.</em>”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This infection did not end there and did not end with the wars. Instead of the peace that had come under individualism, countries urged the populus to divide along racial and national lines for the purposes of paying taxes to their respective countries. This then inspired imperialism, nationalism, and the perverse propaganda (<em>14</em>) that countries would push against one another. Austria-Hungary, once a bastion of diversity that encompassed over twelve different ethnicities, saw itself torn apart as each ethnic subset adopted income taxation and, consequently, closed borders.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Most economists embraced the new global system. Many, like Keynes, even promoted perpetual warfare (<em>15</em>) and preparation for warfare as a means of job creation and thereby the generation of false income which could then be collected by government taxation. Having personally experienced the division, war, suffering, instability, and excess taxation that comes along with closed borders, the Austrian economists pushed back, theorizing that it wasn’t just happenstance that closing borders and government regulated economies came to life at the same time war, poverty, and carnage had also begun to spiral out of control. Ludwig von Mises saw the promise in a young Friedrich Hayek, who was a brilliant economist but a government socialist nonetheless. Mises did not change Hayek’s heart with economic appeal, but with history, and it was the brutal history of border control and resulting social programs that evangelized Hayek (<em>16</em>) into the premier opponent of Keynes in the modern age.</p>

<h2>Absurdity 3: Mathematical Ignorance</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The left loves to separate with identity politics; a favorite talking point of their once honored son, John Edwards, is that there are really two Americas. For the sake of argument, let’s assume he’s right and look at the “in” crowd and “out” crowd separately. Let’s start with legal Americans first and look at that breakdown (<em>17</em>). In 2019, 122 million taxpayers will lead to a federal deficit of $900 billion on the federal level and $858 billion on the state level after GDP. That’s a shortfall of $14,400 per person annually.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There are 8 million illegal immigrants (<em>18</em>) working in the United States right now. Illegal immigrants account for over 3% of the overall GDP (<em>19</em>), a bit lopsided because of the volume of production jobs they work. With the GDP almost exactly $1 trillion (<em>20</em>), that means these workers put $30 billion in the system.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-297 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q2-1.png" alt="q2" width="1442" height="285" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Even when using the craziest numbers that one can find (<em>21</em>), even statistics that have been widely discredited because they over-inflate the problem, (<em>22, 23, 24</em>) illegal immigrants cost the United States $116 billion per year. This penalty towards the deficit is only $10,750 per undocumented worker after the GDP. That’s less than 75% net debt than the average American worker. What’s more, these numbers include the large sums of money (<em>25</em>) just trying to identify, catch, and deport them. If the deficit is the primary concern in the matter, then we’d save even more money just letting them stay.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The objection still exists that open borders will let people that are more draining than our current illegal immigration population. This is admittedly true, but it actually makes the equation more absurd when it comes to the issue of entitlement spending. (Recall that entitlement programs are non-traditional discretionary spending and therefore payouts are determined by the number of recipients in the program (<em>26</em>).) The amount of money given out will not increase because more people want to take advantage of it; instead, the amount of money given out will decrease. The size of the pie is fixed, it’s the size of the slice that changes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Let me ask you this rhetorical question: is it easier to get rid of welfare if it pays out $20 per month or $2000 per month? Mathematically speaking, if the goal is to get rid of the welfare state, we’d be better off letting the most destitute immigrants in and kicking the citizens out.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-303 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/section_image.png" alt="Section_Image" width="707" height="173" /></p>
<h2>Absurdity 4: Ethical Nonsense</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Of course, I’m being a bit facetious. There’s an ethical dilemma at hand that outshines the math and I encourage final exploration. The final argument that can be made is, sure, they aren’t as much of a burden, but shouldn’t they not be a burden at all? After all, while one of them might not cost as much as the average American, they’re not Americans at all, so who are they to contribute even a single cent toward the national debt?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-298 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q3-1.png" alt="q3" width="380" height="405" />While this might be a natural legal argument, it is also wildly immoral. It assumes that two lives must be separated and treated unequally simply due to the location of their births. While families have an innate authority to raise their children how they see fit, political entities can make no such claim. Simply, it is discrimination to say who can enter and who can leave an imaginary line. Moreover, it is discrimination that we place in the hands of government officials to hand out as they deem necessary. I needn’t list their poor track record regarding discrimination here, there’s a word count I have to stay under.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This is not how a beacon of light to the world is supposed to operate. While we place the task of which refugees are allowed to escape here and which ones are condemned to die in the hands of the presidency, we would do well to remember how badly this betrays the value of diversity. While some supercomputer someplace is determining which visas are approved based on how much money they might be able to raise for us, emblazoned on the Statue of Liberty is a reminder that we were supposed to let people in based on how much they could help themselves:</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;padding-left:30px;">Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,<br />
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;<br />
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand<br />
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame<br />
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name<br />
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand<br />
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command<br />
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.<br />
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she<br />
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,<br />
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,<br />
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.<br />
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,<br />
I lift my lamp beside the golden door! (<em>27</em>)</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This poem boldly declares that nothing is special about “ancient” and “storied” lands and that should include America. It shouldn’t matter where someone is from. We value people above property. At least, we used to.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_305" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-305" style="width: 3504px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-305" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/us-mexico_border_deaths_monument.jpg" alt="US-Mexico_border_deaths_monument" width="3504" height="1778" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-305" class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO BY TOMAS CASTELAZO. Decorated coffins line the US-Mexico border fence as a memorial to migrants who have died trying to cross the border. The year and number of dead are marked on each coffin. (Wikimedia Commons).</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">America is at a crossroads. We have a choice to make. On one hand, we can clean our home so that guests can arrive. We have plenty of rooms, we just need to fix them up a bit. We have policies bankrupting our home that we need to look at. We have regulations against defending ourselves that we should examine. If we take care of these problems that we are already facing, more guests bringing their talents will only help us.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On the other hand, we can bar the door. Reinforce it. Add concrete to the walls. Paint over the windows. Hire snipers. Put up razor wire. If we do all this, we can live in our dirty home and pretend there’s no problem for another few years at least.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">At every level, this is an absurd choice to make. Let us hope that we choose wisely.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/james-hanmer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">James Hanmer</a></em></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There are few words more indelibly attached to the American myth than those so eloquently put by Emma Lazarus in her 1883 sonnet, “The New Colossus,” in which she writes, “<em>Give me your tired, your poor / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.</em>” These words are now immortalized in bronze for all casual New York City tourists to pore over perfunctorily as they shuffle through the Statue of Liberty museum. Yet, they are worth a closer look, not only for the poetically inclined, but for those considering the United States’ immigration policies in 2019.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In the modern era, most substantive debate on immigration (which unfortunately seems increasingly hard to come by) is centered around the skills and attributes which the ideal immigrant would posses, and how we should go about screening for these attributes. Many suggest taking a cue from our neighbors to the north and adopting a comprehensive points based system. Others contend that those with a certain amount of capital — generally a substantial amount — to invest in the American economy should be prioritized for citizenship, irrespective of all other considerations. Still others say a potential immigrant’s educational background is of the utmost importance.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_311" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-311" style="width: 370px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-311" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/statue_of_liberty_tablet.jpg" alt="Statue_Of_Liberty_Tablet" width="370" height="471" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-311" class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO BY Robert Scott Adams (Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Any of these would be preferable to our current, highly ineffectual, lottery-based system, or to the seemingly diametrically opposed proposals currently offered by the most outspoken members of either major party; namely, porous or open borders from the left, and severely restricted immigration via physical barriers — while not addressing the economic hospitality which attracts illegal immigrants in the first place — from the right.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Granted, fluid borders may be a tenable solution in the not-too-distant future, if global poverty and crime rates have fallen to a sufficient degree that border security is no longer a real concern, but in this era of cartel-dominance and mass lawlessness in Mexico and Central and South America, it is obviously an irresponsible, if not suicidal, proposal. Even to the extent that one could make a valid argument for open borders, it would still be essential to keep track of the identity of every person entering the country, which is obviously not happening currently.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The worst conversations about immigration happening on the right veer into xenophobic and jingoistic territory, wherein skin color is somehow equated with a potential immigrant’s value to American society. Such morally abhorrent notions do not even deserve a refutation. However, these conversations (hopefully) represent a statistically irrelevant portion of those who purport to call themselves conservatives.</p>
<h2>Clearly then,</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">there are not a wealth of solutions on the table, or at least within the overton window, that are satisfactory to Americanized, libertarian sensibilities.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-307 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q1-2.png" alt="q1" width="472" height="301" />That is to say, none of the aforementioned solutions take into account the sentiment espoused in those 14 lines of verse penned by an idealistic poetic a century ago. None are able to sufficiently reconcile the American dream, to reconcile the fact that we truly are a nation of immigrants, with the practical concerns of economic stability, national security, cultural stability, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Fine, then what are some solutions? You may be asking at this point. Very well, they are as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Require all potential immigrants to be conversationally fluent in English within six months of arrival, and literate within one year.</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Require all potential immigrants to be able-bodied or minded, so that they will be able to find and secure gainful employment and therefore not rely on government subsidization.</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Turn away any potential immigrants with violent criminal history.</li>
<li style="text-align:justify;">Prioritize potential immigrants based on literacy in English first, education or professional training second, and net worth (with higher amounts of wealth being considered more desirable) third.</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-308 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q2-2.png" alt="q2" width="430" height="233" />This system could perhaps be described as a modified Ellis Island model, as it places primacy on an individual’s ability to adapt to the American way of life, yet still takes into account education or professional training and wealth as tertiary and quadranary considerations, respectively. Equally as importantly as these criteria, though, is simply streamlining the process to accommodate the greatest sustainable number of immigrants as quickly as possible. Every inefficient cog in the mechanism not only wastes tax dollars, but encourages illegal immigration or false claims of refugee status, which can seem like expedited means of starting a better life.</p>
<h2>And what of refugees?</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Well, this is where things get complicated. An ideologically libertarian immigration system, such as that laid out above, is incompatible with our current, interventionist foreign policy. This is because our meddling in the affairs of politically unstable states, most prominently in Latin America in the past, and in the Middle East currently, creates a surplus of refugees, many of whom naturally seek asylum in the United States. To implement a sustainable amnesty program, at least in good conscious, the United States must also adopt a non-interventionist foreign policy. Of the current candidates running for president, Tulsi Gabbard seems quite good in this respect.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-309 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q3-2.png" alt="q3" width="975" height="291" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As far as border security is concerned, a wall may be beneficial if built on all federally owned lands on the United States-Mexico border, though the use of eminent domain to non-consensually seize private property for this purpose would, of course, be unconscionable. That being said, even if a wall were to be erected along the entirety of our southern border, which it almost certainly never will, constant surveillance of the border would still be necessary. Perhaps more crucially, cities, municipalities, or locales which declare themselves “sanctuaries” for illegal immigrants must comply with federal authority. An integral part of the American ethos, especially economically, is fairness, the open access to opportunity, which is corrupted by these insubordinate jurisdictions, since they allow individuals to essentially ‘cut in line’.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Going forward, any fruitful steps taken by those looking to work through our immigration debacle will be achieved through rational, civil argumentation. The media’s constant fear-mongering and unwillingness to foster any kind of productive dialogue with their political adversaries, and congress’s unwillingness to compromise, are the two biggest roadblocks standing in the way of solution.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;">A Historical Survey<br />
<em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/rhinehold/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rhinehold</a></em></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As immigration issues have become a greater issue at the forefront of American politics in the past few years, I have noticed some common misconceptions and myths surrounding the whole concept of immigration, policies and positions of the various sides discussing the contentious debate. I intend to address many of these over a series of articles, however I wanted to start with looking at a history of immigration law in the United States and how we got to where we are now.</p>
<h2>I.</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Originally, as most people who were here during America’s founding were either recent immigrants or very few generations removed from their families’ immigration, there was not the stigma on being an immigrant that came into part of the society that would later form. While there was trepidation against giving visitors and new immigrants who have not shown their integration into American society certain privileges, it was decided early on that important positions within the government and voting for those positions would be limited to citizens, both naturally born and naturalized. In the U.S. Constitution, the power to regulate naturalization, to ensure an agreed upon set of standards for immigrants to become citizens, was given to the new federal government, but regulation of who could reside within the United States was not.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-387 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q1-4.png" alt="q1" width="407" height="260" />Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, for example, had a continual back and forth on the issue of immigration – Jefferson was generally much more open to people coming to America while Hamilton (ironically, as he was himself an immigrant) wanted more restrictive immigration. But even their opposition never veered into trying to prevent people from immigrating here, only about the role they would play once they arrived and how to test for their individual assimilation into American society before giving them power in government.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For the next several decades after the founding, there was little movement on this issue – it was clear that those with a nationalistic bent of wanting to limit immigration into the country were in the minority. But, as more generations were born here and saw their birth as some sort of special position and viewed allowing immigrants to come in as some sort of “affront”, the minority nationalistic views started to increase. This was especially true in the 1840s as an increase of immigration from Ireland, due to the Irish Potato Famine, started to become a concern to some members of society.</p>
<h2>II.</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This led to the eventual formation of the American Party (The Know-Nothings) in the 1840s out of the demise of the Whigs that also spawned the Republican Party. While the Know-Nothings were virulently anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic, anti-anything they felt was “un-American”, their numbers were not great in a majority in any meaningful way. In fact, the name Know-Nothings comes from the practice party members had of saying they ‘knew nothing’ of the party when asked if they were members.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_386" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-386" style="width: 298px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-386" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/knownothingflag-1.jpg" alt="Knownothingflag-1" width="298" height="212" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-386" class="wp-caption-text">Photo provided by THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS (Wikimedia Commons). A flag of the “Know-Nothing” American Party warns against foreign influences in American government and society.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In the 1850s – specifically in 1852 – the party achieved some state and local election success and assisted in the passage of the <em>Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854</em>. This act repealed the <em>Missouri Compromise</em>, stoking tensions over slavery and resulting in armed conflicts known as “Bleeding Kansas” setting the stage for the upcoming Civil War. However, this was the apex of the American Party’s power, in the 1856 election their presidential candidate (Millard Fillmore) carried one state and congressional strength dropped to 12 representatives.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Due to infighting, the party ended up falling apart in 1856, but continued as regional blocs. The Anti-slavery Know-Nothings went on to join the Republican Party, keeping the rest of the anti-immigration and anti-Catholic views intact (as we will see later with Henry Cabot Lodge for example), while the anti-slavery Know-Nothings continued to push the country into the Civil War by directing political power in the south under a reformed Constitutional Union Party.</p>
<h3>III.</h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">After the civil war, anti-slavery southerners formed the first iteration of the Ku Klux Klan and terrorized the southern states for a period of time during reconstruction. However, the anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic views survived within the new Republican Party and additionally led to two more attempts at creating an American Party in the 1870s and 1880s. The 1886 California-based American Party was created to call for the exclusion of Chinese and other Asians from industrial employment. Immigration of Chinese in the pre-Civil War era, helping build the Transcontinental Railroad, as well as the Gold Rush after had increased the nativist concerns of many living in the western states, especially California.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It was in 1882 where things in the United States started to turn. New laws were passed that had huge precedents for later actions by the country. In that year the Chinese Exclusion Act and the Immigration Acts were passed, for the first time excluding immigration based on illness or mental acuity and also on an entire nationality by the federal government. Until this time the power of immigration had not been granted to the federal government by the constitution. However, when challenged on its constitutionality, it was upheld, not because the power was given to the federal government within the U.S. Constitution, but because the majority of justices felt that the U.S. should have that power and awarded it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">From that point the nativists started recruiting and picking up steam. Still not in the majority, but gaining strides. Most notable was Henry Cabot Lodge who upon entering the congress in 1887 started pushing for a literacy test. The tests were designed to exclude members of those races Lodge felt was “<em>most alien to the body of the American people</em>”. Lodge, as a Republican, was a staunch defender of black voting rights, but felt that there was genetic inferiority in people immigrating from specific areas of Europe, specifically the eastern and southern European lands.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A few years later, in 1894, Charles Warren, Robert DeCourcy Ward and Prescott F. Hall, three of Boston, MA’s elite aristocracy, created the Immigration Restriction League. They believed that the immigrants from southern and eastern Europe who were starting to immigrate to the U.S. in increasing numbers were ethnically inferior to Anglo-Saxons. Henry Cabot Lodge would eventually go on to be their face in the U.S. congress, helping push through their long desired literacy test.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-388 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q2-4.png" alt="q2" width="1120" height="419" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But they were being thwarted. Even though supporters like Teddy Roosevelt and Henry Ford were backing this effort, it was still being defeated in Congress. Then two things happened to change the story and eventually bring about the successes for the Immigration Resistance League and Henry Cabot Lodge had worked towards for so long.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">First, World War I ravaged the European continent and caused many displaced people from the eastern and southern European areas to flee from their homes, looking to the United States as a place of safety. This resulted in some cities in the eastern U.S. to start to see more immigrants than it had previously. And not just immigrants, but what many considered to be “the wrong kind” of immigrant.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Second, Charles Davenport and Madison Grant started looking into a new area of science that they called Eugenics. They believed that they were beginning to understanding the genetics of the human animal. Using information learned from watching plants intermix, along with some personal biases and flawed use of the scientific method, they created a now debunked form of genetic science that mistakenly sought to prove inequality among the different races. Their goal was to “<em>build better human stock</em>” but as their methods were inherently flawed, they failed to see how they created a largely fake science.</p>
<h2>IV.</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For some time, several events converged: the influx of immigrants into American urban areas; the pushing of nativist beliefs by proponents like Lodge and the Immigration Resistance League; trade unions that were concerned about new immigrants causing their trade union wages to be deflated; and finally, the popularization of the new eugenics movement.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_385" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-385" style="width: 407px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-385" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/chinese_work_crew_vpl_66958_10985351363-e1563827954794.jpg" alt="Chinese_work_crew_VPL_66958_(10985351363)" width="407" height="239" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-385" class="wp-caption-text">Photo provided by THE VANCOUVER PUBLIC LIBRARY HISTORICAL PHOTOGRAPHS COLLECTION (Wikimedia Commons). A group of Chinese immigrants pose for a photo while working on American railroads.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">All of these elements led to the reforming of the Ku Klux Klan in 1915 (with an extremely anti-immigration, anti-catholic, demanding allegiance-to-the-flag, respect-for-authority nationalist agenda) and to the passage, finally, of a literacy test for immigrants.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There was still enough nativist (know-nothing) political power to pass the first real exclusionary quota system, allowing only a certain number of people to immigrate into the country from various countries of origin. There was a flaw though: as immigration levels from eastern and southern Europe were rising – something they were trying to stop – it was decided that they would base those quotas on the U.S. Census information from 1890, four decades earlier. The quota law was passed in 1924 and put into effect in 1929. This severely curtailed the number of immigrants allowed into the U.S. from eastern and southern Europe by an extremely large number.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-389 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q3-3.png" alt="q3" width="424" height="259" />This was the height of nationalism in the U.S. – nationalism hasn’t been seen at those levels until more recently in our history. Soon after the passage and implementation of the laws, the Great Depression hit and the number of people wanting to immigrate to the U.S. dropped. Then when World War II began, people fleeing Germany to the U.S. were caught up in the new laws that were woefully unprepared for handling such a crisis. The result was that many of the people seeking safety from Nazi Germany were denied entry into the America and eventually captured by the Nazi regime and killed. The <em>RMS St. Louis</em> was one of the more notable tales of this occurring, but by far not the only one.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It was these events that helped lead to the unmasking and eventual end of the “science” of eugenics. Other scientists had started calling the underlying science into question and found the incredible biases that the methods of the institute that Davenport had founded had used. But it was the German officers before, during, and especially after the war who pointed to Grant and Davenport’s work as the basis for their own policies of discrimination that ultimately put the final nail in the coffin of eugenics.</p>
<h2>V.</h2>
<p><figure id="attachment_391" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-391" style="width: 421px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-391" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/trump-e1563828259262.jpg" alt="Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump makes campaign stop in St. Louis" width="421" height="546" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-391" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by BILL GREENBLATT (Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Unfortunately, the story doesn’t end with the defeat of eugenics and the quelling of nationalistic fervor in the aftermath of the lessons learned from Nazi Germany. The quota system remained in effect until 1965 when the immigration laws were reformed to eliminate the per-country quotas, but – as most people reading this know – once federal bureaucracy is in place, rooting it out is often more difficult than it is to get it put in in the first place. So we have been left with a mishmash, cobbled together immigration system that not only defies the U.S. Constitution’s limit of powers and the individual private property rights of U.S. Citizens, but also puts U.S. law in the position of treating people entering the U.S. into a group identity methodology – guilty until proven innocent and violating their inalienable rights.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We’ve created a prohibition on the free movement of human beings, a freedom that according to our founding ideals is present unless the person has been subject to due process. It creates the very situation we are trying to avoid; the damage of the human condition of those seeking to come here to be part of our great country by forcing them to sneak, hide, deal with traffickers and coyotes and other nefarious individuals looking to make money and power from the now created black market of human movement. It pits the government against business owners by telling them who they can and can’t hire at their own businesses. It tells private citizens who they can and can’t have living with them on their own property or who they can rent their property to.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We literally created the very problem of illegal immigration that the nationalists now want to use as the excuse for further limitations on immigration, just as the government does with the war on drugs and did with prohibition of the sale of alcohol. It seems the one defining characteristic of the American people today is the inability to look to our past and learn from our mistakes, continuously repeating them in ways that cause pain and suffering to millions of people every year.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;">Justin Amash’s Pursuit of Happiness<br />
<em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/remso-w-martinez/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Remso W. Martinez</a></em></h3>
<blockquote><p>…we owe it to future generations to stand up for our constitutional republic so that Americans may continue to live free for centuries to come. Preserving liberty means telling the Republican Party and the Democratic Party that we’ll no longer let them play their partisan game at our expense.</p>
<p>Today, I am declaring my independence and leaving the Republican Party. No matter your circumstance, I’m asking you to join me in rejecting the partisan loyalties and rhetoric that divide and dehumanize us. I’m asking you to believe that we can do better than this two-party system — and to work toward it. If we continue to take America for granted, we will lose it.</p>
<p>— Justin Amash</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In July of 2018, I was couch crashing at a friend’s apartment in Washington D.C. He was a member of the House Freedom Caucus, and for the first time during his brief time working in the House of Representatives felt like he could truly be his authentic self. Why did he fee this way? Because two weeks earlier he had went on Facebook Live and announced he would be leaving politics permanently.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“<em><span style="color:var(--color-text);">Maybe I’ll do something drastic and become a Libertarian,</span></em><span style="color:var(--color-text);">” he said, puffing on a cigarette on his back porch. “<em>Maybe I could do many things, but I’m out the door at this point.</em>“</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This was an odd conversation to be having. After years of being a failed political consultant, I had finally been making inroads within the Republican Party, only to be here listening to an elected Republican tell me he was considering jumping into the obscure third party I had spent years trying to separate myself away from.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-371 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/amash_twitter.png" alt="Amash_Twitter" width="290" height="241" />Now, almost a full year later, I’m seeing a similar situation play out with ex-Republican Justin Am-ash. This is a story about Amash that has really nothing to do with him. Everything that could already be said about him has already been said, but frankly a lot of “insiders” and “experts” are missing the bigger picture. Justin Amash’s decision to leave the Republican Party isn’t a game ch-anger, it’s not a signal of the times, and it’s not a fist step to the “yellow brick road”.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The first two campaigns I ever staffed and managed were with Libertarian and Independent candidates. They were both bright, intelligent men offering solutions to the problems their constituents had; they listened, they reached out, and for a bright minute on both campaigns it seemed like both men could have been starting on a successful path to elected office.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Voters don’t want solutions however, they want accommodations and conveniences. Both men, running outside of the two-party machine, could deliver what voters wanted but couldn’t give them that sense of tribal identity they so craved. Voters all want to think that they are independent, strong-willed individuals, but they fear judgement and ostracization more than they fear bad policy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-380" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/remsoq22.png" alt="remsoq22" width="771" height="571" />When you look at the large and growing number of independents in America, what is not understood in the data and charts is that there are no “independents” really. Split ticket voters make up a minuta of the overall voting populace and, more often than not, these so-called “independent voters” typically vote for one party their entire lives. That’s the funny thing about voters – they want a loving relationship without the commitment. They want to be gifted without giving anything in return. They want to vote for one party without ever having to be held accountable for the party’s actions. They want to support a politician’s successes but have plausible deniability when they fail or mess up.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">American voters are that ex-girlfriend of yours that used to say that they didn’t want anything exclusive, but then threatened to set your car on fire because she saw you laugh at the blonde barrista’s joke when you ordered your coffee at Starbucks.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_372" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-372" style="width: 416px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-372" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/gettyimages-1146793324.jpg" alt="U.S. Rep.

(Photo by Bill Pugliano / Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Justin Amash won’t win re-election in his district for the same reason Gary Johnson came in last for U.S. Senate in New Mexico (a state where he had been a popular governor for two full terms) during the contentious 2018 mid-term elections: because American voters feel undying loyalty to political parties who are far from loyal to them.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bernie Sanders has union money and Angus King has his own money, but men like Amash? Good intentions are only going to go so far. All that work he did for his district, all those votes he made that his constituents liked? All those things he did went out the window as soon as he tossed out his “R” card.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;"><em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/dale-melchin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dale Melchin</a></em></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The most effective way to pursue liberty and ensure it exists for future generations is to be a good person and, by extension, a good parent, and to take back parental responsibilities that have been stolen by the public school system.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Here are five steps to achieving this.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:justify;">The first step</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">is to resolve to be a good person now. People can small fakery from a mile off and your children (and other family members and close friends) will be able to smell it coming off of you even more.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Being a good person consists of being an ethical person; keeping your word; being organized in your living quarters, you finances, your friendships, and every other area of life you control. Tracking toward doing this will lower your stress levels and increase your energy for parenting. This helps ensure that you are not being short with your children and building trust, rather than mistrust.</p>
<h2>The second step</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">is to resolve any personal internal issues (or be tracking towards that). No one is perfect and most of us will not be saints in this life and will have to rely upon the grace of God when we get to the end. This applies to being a good person, but tracking down and resolving any character issues, self-sabotage, or flaws that will cause problems in your family is a strong step to ensuring liberty in your family.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It will make you into someone that your children (and peers) will want to be around and be like.</p>
<h2>The third step</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">is to resolve to get good at persuasion, logic, and making things interesting. (Personally, this is hit-and-miss for me.) I have a lot of people who eyes glaze over when I talk about liberty. However, if you learn to slip little bites of liberty into your conversation and use the various tools out there for teaching your children about liberty, then you will definitely increase your chances of transmitting the ideas of liberty to your children.</p>
<h2>The fourth step</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">is to resolve to have a stable relationship with your spouse. This is probably the most important step of all five I am laying out here.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">You cannot effectively teach your children anything if you do not have a good relationship with your spouse; they will pick up on your negative relationship. Do not have children if your marriage is a wreck, and if you already have children (especially young children), get on the path to fixing things before it is too late.</p>
<h2>The fifth step</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">is to resolve to be a peaceful parent. If you have to use physical force to get your kids to do something, that’s a sign of weakness as a parent. (I lived with this as a child, so perhaps I am overreacting.) But if your interactions with your child are characterized by physical force, then something is wrong with you and something is wrong with your family relations. (By physical force, I mean hitting, slapping, spanking, and angry, intimidating yelling.) Those things serve to break the spirit of a child and make them afraid of you. This does not include restraining or moving them if they are making a scene, or raising your voice if they are in danger (i.e. “get out of the road!”). If you want your children to like you and adopt your ideology, then you have top be consistent, and that includes your parenting.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This does not mean that you allow them to make you into a door mat. You can calmly teach them that actions have consequences without hitting them or being short with them. The key is honest communication. You can tell your child that they are getting on your nerves and tell them to stop pulling the dog’s tail or tapping a toy on the table. Granted, this involves making a commitment of time and learning how to push your child’s buttons the right way, without force. It also involves a certain amount of self-care, communicating with your spouse or partner, and being able to take turns. Sometimes, it just involves grit and commitment to the ideal, no matter the cost. If we can learn to do this, then we can undo the morass of tyranny that has been foisted upon us by the public school system.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Of all the ways that we humans can exert power over each other, I would argue that homicide – the taking of life – is the most potent, the most irreversible. Taking life is a completely final act that cannot be undone and erases all the potential (for evil and for good) that the taken life had. Taking life causes catastrophe for those close to the victim and the perpetrator, it results in a massive crater on the fabric of communities.

I’d venture to say that the overwhelming majority of Americans, of all political and ideological persuasions, believe that killing in self-defense is morally permissible. Many probably believe that some cases of preemptive killing are justified. But very, very few believe (or at least would admit that they believe) that killing unarmed, helpless, res-trained people is a tolerable practice.

<p style="text-align:justify;">At the time I’m writing this, America has executed 1,500 prisoners since the death penalty was resumed in 1977. According to the Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC), 155 people have been exonerated from death row since 1977. This means that for every ten people on death row who are executed, one has been proven innocent. While I am grateful that 155 lives were saved, I can’t help but worry that many more of those who were killed were innocent (or at least, not guilty of the heinous crimes they were killed for).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The stories of the death row inmates who were exonerated are full of civil liberties violations, laziness and corruption in the courts, and a whole lot of chance. Almost all of those who were exonerated were saved due to an outside benefactor stepping in on their behalf – that’s a luxury many prisoners sentenced to die are not awarded. Let’s take a look at a few of these exoneration cases:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:justify;"><em>Jerry Banks was exonerated in 1980 after being convicted of two counts of murder in 1975. During his initial trial, the state purposefully withheld evidence (</em>Banks v. State, 218 S.E.2d 851 (GA. 1975)<em>). Once this was discovered (by chance), his conviction was overturned. His wife divorced him shortly after his release and Banks killed himself.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:justify;"><em>James Richardson was exonerated in 1989 after being convicted of killing all of his seven children in 1968. During his initial trial, the prosecution lied about Richardson’s childrens’ life insurance policies, ignored other more likely suspects, withheld evidence, and used perjured testimonies (</em>Richardson v. State, 546 So.2d 1037 (FL. 1989)<em>). His trial received attention once two journalists began looking into it and raising questions.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:justify;"><em>Adolph Munson was exonerated in 1995 after being convicted of first degree murder and kidnapping in 1985. During his trial, the prosecution withheld a large amount of exculpatory evidence from Munson and his lawyer (</em>Oklahoma v. Munson, 886 P.2d 999 (Okla. Crim. App. 1994)<em>). Munson was released after two appeals and one of the experts who presented “evidence” at his original trial was stripped of his license.</em></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;text-align:justify;"><em>Isiah McCoy was exonerated in 2017 after being convicted of first degree murder in 2012. During his trial, the prosecution manipulated and intimidated both McCoy and the jury, and lied to the judge (</em>McCoy v. State, Nos 558 & 595 (DE 2012)<em>). He was exonerated once the prosecutor’s misconduct was revealed by chance. The prosecutor was only temporarily suspended.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">These are just four of examples of death row exonerations, but I can guarantee you this: almost all of the 155 death row exonerations since 1977 are filled with the same amount (or more) or prosecutor misconduct, corruption, and incompetence. Almost all of the 155 death row exonerations occurred only because an outsider stepped in to help or asked questions or bothered to take a second look at a trial. It’s abundantly common for criminal trials to be mishandled. It’s not nearly as common for those mishandlings to ever be made public knowledge.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_320" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-320" style="width: 379px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-320" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/aptopix-death-penalty-maryland-jpeg-04f63.jpg" alt="Image: Sylvester Schieber, Vicki Schieber, Kirk Bloodsworth, Ben Jealous" width="379" height="261" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-320" class="wp-caption-text">PHOTO BY PATRICK SEMANSKY (Wikimedia Commons). Kirk Bloodsworth (center) was the first death row inmate exonerated due to DNA evidence. He was exonerated in 1993 – who knows how many innocent people where executed in prior decades who could have been saved by modern science.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It boils down to this: you can support having a death penalty or you can oppose the government killing innocent/undeserving people, but you can’t do both. The death penalty has killed innocent people and it will continue to do so. The only way to stop the state from using capital punishment to kill innocents is to abolish it – no amount of reform or extra precautions will make the death penalty process 100% foolproof; government is simply to corrupt and incompetent to be trusted with this awful power (this is a truth that should be easy to accept for both libertarians and small-government conservatives).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">To support the death penalty is to believe that a certain amount of innocent death is an acceptable price to pay for what is essentially a revenge killing. This is an extremely, dangerously out-of-control utilitarian idea. It is also an idea that is completely devoid of any sense of empathy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If you happen to believe that inevitable innocent death is an acceptable cost to maintain a state death penalty, then ask yourself this: would you feel the same way if you were falsely convicted and on death row?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I doubt it.</p>
<h2>An Extension of White Supremacy</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It’s well-known that those who are poor, black, or generally outcasted from society are tread upon especially hard by the American criminal justice system. Appeals and the thousands of hours of manpower and research that go into them are expensive, and most death row inmates can’t afford them. Aside from a benevolent benefactor of some sort (which is no sure thing) a successful appeal is nothing but a dream to many of those sentenced to die.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Not only does the death penalty unfairly affect the poor, but it is also used disproportionately against black Americans. According the Equal Justice Initiative based in Montgomery, Alabama, 13% of the American population is black, but 42% of death row inmates are black and 34% of those executed are black. Additionally, over 80% of executions involve white victims, although whites only make up around 50% of murder victims. It’s no coincidence that in the late 1800s and early 1900s as lynching decreased that executions increased. It’s also worth noting (as the Connecticut Supreme Court pointed out when they banned capital punishment in their state in 2015) that “<em>the 13 states that comprised the Confederacy have carried out more than 75% of the nation’s executions over the last four decades [since the death penalty was reactivated in the U.S.].</em>”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It’s not always popular to point out that racism still haunts American society and civic institutions, but I earnestly believe it’s the truth and it’s a truth I wish more libertarians and liberals would embrace. If you don’t believe me, take a minute to examine the 1987 Supreme Court Case <em>McCleskey v. Kemp</em>. McCleskey was a black man who was accused and convicted of killing a white police office in Georgia and was sentenced to death. McCleskey and his lawyer argued in a writ of <em>habeas corpus</em> that statistical studies showed that Georgia’s application of the death penalty depended heavily on the race of the accused as well as the race of the victim. Multiple studies showed that black men who killed white victims are far more likely to receive the death penalty than other racial combinations of perpetrators and victims.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-319 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q2-3.png" alt="q2" width="445" height="319" />The Rehnquist Court considered those studies and, surprisingly, agreed with the studies findings – they concurred with McCleskey that in Georgie, and likely most of the U.S., that race played a significant role in the application of the death penalty. Unfortunately, they went on to describe this racial bias as “<em>an inevitable part of our criminal justice system.</em>” Even the United States Supreme Court recognizes the extreme racial bias in the criminal justice system as a whole and in capital punishment in particular. And not only did they recognize it, they labeled it as acceptable. In a 5-4 decision, the court decided against McCleskey.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Even if you are able to support capital punishment in a theoretical sense, seeing how much the actual practice of it is distorted by class and history should give you pause. Racial angst is on the rise, and the unequal application of the death penalty is one of the many reasons why. I’m not going to make the foolish claim that abolishing the death penalty would solve America’s racial disparities, but I can’t help but believe that it would be a definite step in the right direction to racial reconciliation.</p>
<h2>A Better Way Forward</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When the death penalty is stripped of all the legalese and conservative rationalizations all that’s left is revenge killing, plain and simple. I for one think that revenge is sorry substitute for justice and has no place in our civic institutions, and I’d like to think that most you would agree.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-318 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/q1-3.png" alt="q1" width="1468" height="692" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I am convinced that the death penalty hurts everyone involved – those sentenced to die, those who do the sentencing, the families of victims, the executioners, etc. Thankfully, I believe there’s a better way.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What if our system of justice went deeper and was more meaningful and satisfying than “an eye for eye”? What if the focus was on making things right with both victims and perpetrators, rather than on making sure some people get “<em>what they deserve</em>”?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I’m sure many of you are at least vaguely familiar with this idea of restorative justice. American criminologist Howard Zehr defines restorative justice as “<em>a process to involve, to the extent possible, those who have a stake in a specific offense and to collectively identify and address harms, needs, and obligations, in order to heal and put things as right as possible.</em>”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When our current system asks <em>What laws were broken?</em>; <em>By who?</em>; and <em>What do they deserve?</em>, restorative justice asks <em>Who was hurt?</em>; <em>What do they need?</em>; and <em>Who is obligated to address these needs?.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Restorative justice has a place in even the most heinous of circumstances. Take for example the Rwanda genocide – the men responsible for the genocide were tasked with rebuilding the country; you can still them working to fix roads and farms, armed with shovels and other tools. (One could say that they literally beat their swords into plows.) Rather than facing death (which I’m sure many would argue they deserved) they work to restore their home to what it was before. They aren’t getting off easy by any means – they’re spending the rest of their lives undoing the damage they contributed to and facing their victims. I would argue that this “punishment” requires more from the perpetrators and gives back more to the victims than capital punishment ever could.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If restorative justice can work to heal the wounds of genocide, then surly it can be used to heal the wounds of murder. There are countless stories of the families of victims eventually writing and talking with, meeting, and even befriending the individual who killed their loved one – they work together to heal each other, realizing that most criminals are victims themselves and not all that different from us “respectable folk”. There are far too many of these stories to recount here, and they’re too beautiful to only give a brief summary, but I have to ask anyone reading this to please take fifteen minutes or so to at least look up the story of Hector and Susie Black – their story touches me every time I read or listen to it.</p>
<h2>One Last Thing</h2>
<p><figure id="attachment_323" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-323" style="width: 286px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-323" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/5cd5b1652000003200981283.jpeg" alt="5cd5b1652000003200981283" width="286" height="418" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-323" class="wp-caption-text">Don Johnson (Photo by the TN Department of Corrections)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The final story I want to tell is that of Don Johnson, who was executed in a Tennessee prison this past May. Johnson murdered his wife, Connie Johnson, in 1984 and was soon convicted and sentenced to death. In prison, Don became a Christian and soon became respected and befriended by many of his fellow prisoners and even a few of the prison guards. He regretted his actions tremendously and dedicated the rest of his life to serving those imprisoned with him however he could. Johnson was denied clemency by Governor Bill Lee multiple times. He asked for the money that would have been spent on his last meal to go towards feeding the homeless (a request that was also denied). As he was led into the execution chamber, he forgave those who were killing him and asked for forgiveness again from all those he had hurt during his life. He sang hymns until he passed out and died.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(<em>Note: the information about Johnson’s final days and minutes is from one of Johnson’s close friends, Shane Claiborne, who has written extensively about ending the death penalty in his book</em> Executing Grace.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Don Johnson did something horrible, but he clearly wasn’t beyond redemption and good was coming from his life. When you think about the death penalty from now on, I’d like you to think about Don’s final days. Think about all those who are executed as people first and as criminals second (or not at all). Some of the names of those executed in America are in this article, in the lines between columns.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The idea of restorative justice isn’t easy – it could require a tremendous amount of imagination, compassion, and empathy in many cases. But I think it’s an idea worth striving for, worth realizing. It just might help us save our humanity.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;">Efron is Truly Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile as the Sinister Ted Bundy<br />
<em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/remso-w-martinez/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Remso W. Martinez</a></em></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">He doesn’t have that “evil” look to him as some actors do. You can close your eyes and think of onscreen serial killers and you’ll probably see faces like Malcolm McDowell from <em>A Clockwork Orange</em> or perhaps Christian Bale from <em>American Psycho</em>. Zach Efron however, the Disney star turned silver screen heartthrob, doesn’t need that “evil” look because, just like the real-life serial killer he’s based on, its what goes on in his mind and how he manipulates those around him that makes him a truly terrifying cinematic monster.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Based on the life and times of serial murderer Ted Bundy, Efron channels his classic boyish charm and golden charisma to bring to life one of America’s most infamous killers for a new generation. Much like the millions of Americans who only knew of Bundy from his wild and truly captivating televised interviews and confrontations in the courtroom, I knew essentially nothing of Bundy other than he was a killer of women, and damn good at it.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_329" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-329" style="width: 5994px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-329" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/extremelywicked_ff_00006_slide-cb75cf67e26ad3bf32cb6819efaabc7c85abd693.jpg" alt="extremelywicked_ff_00006" width="5994" height="3996" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-329" class="wp-caption-text">ZAC EFRON’S portrayal of infamous serial killer Ted Bundy lives up to the film’s namesake. (Brian Douglas | Netflix)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Throughout the film, the director Joe Berlinger leaves much to the imagination as the viewer isn’t clued in on much other than that Efron’s Bundy is incredibly personable, his onscreen girlfriend Liz is both incredibly paranoid yet deeply in love, and almost everyone involved in the case ranging from the cops to the defense counsel and even Bundy’s fling-turned-baby mama Carol Anne are being pulled along by the string of innuendo, misdirection, and deception Bundy is using to make it seem like the connected murders that all point to him is nothing but one giant conspiracy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There are moments during the film where it is rather easy to divorce the reality of the story from the movie itself. You know Bundy is guilty, but at times you catch yourself asking “<em>what if?</em>” You want to trust the system which is piecing together commonalities between the murder victims from state to state, but you honestly can’t tell whether he killed all those women or not. When Bundy finally becomes his case’s pro-counsel, it’s almost easy to believe with his air of confidence and knowledge of the legal system that for a sliver of a moment he may be innocent.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-328 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/bundy_q1.png" alt="bundy_q1" width="508" height="212" />Because of the emotional <em>tour-de-force</em> from scene to scene, you begin to realize that all that is going on is what makes Bundy such a terrifying person. He makes you trust him, even like him at times, and in several fleeting moments, you find yourself rooting for him. When the truth comes out and Bundy does, in his only solitary moment of honesty, admit to his girlfriend Liz how he murdered a female college student with a hacksaw, all the shock and horror the film was building upon makes you look at Efron in absolute shock and horror, realizing that what makes Bundy so lethal is that you didn’t want to believe he was evil in the first place. When the truth sinks in and you know in your gut he is the epitome of despotism, you feel that at times watching the film you were an accomplice and a fool for thinking for one fleeting moment maybe this Ted Bundy story would divert from the cold hard history the film is rooted in.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The look at the criminal justice system in this film shows a rather competent police force investigating the connected killings, a legal system at times tugging at the barriers of what it can and can’t get away with, and a media circus that can’t get enough of the mad show of incompetence and intrigue that reminds us of modern day court cases that steel all our focus and interests for all the wrong reasons.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">From OJ Simpson to Casey Anthony, these cases remind us that while the court of public opinion might find them guilty, sometimes it is the Law which is right and the outside-observing peanut gallery which is wrong. That’s what makes these situations so much worse when the obvious evidence says one thing but our guts say something different entirely. The film takes this very real predicament and puts you solidly into the shoes of the character who ends up being the real protagonist, after all, Ted’s girlfriend Liz who tells Ted during a visit to jail that she does love him despite all the controversy and damning evidence, “<em>that’s the problem.</em>”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Liz, played by Lily Collins (who famously appeared on the Masterpiece Classics version of <em>Les Miserable</em>) ends up stealing the show from the captivatingly interesting Efron as the audience falls into Liz’s pit of confusion and despair, love and hatred, as she embodies the pain and loss of knowing a loved one may have actually committed the atrocities they had been accused of. Her tears and depression make you ask yourself how you would dare continue living normally if your sibling, parent, friend, lover, someone you felt you could be completely vulnerable with, turned into the monster that you could only imagine encountering in your most terrifying of nightmares.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">My only complaint with the film, however, is probably that the film is missing something most serial killer films placed into the horror/drama category perform in excess: plain old blood and gore that drives the whole thing home. Perhaps this absence of seeing the murders take place, not knowing or seeing Bundy actually murder the victims, is why the film is so captivating; we want to see the murders in the way we go to a Godzilla movie expecting a giant monster fight, but alas, we never see Efron’s Bundy so much as harm anyone unless you count the Florida cop Bundy assaults as he attempts to flee from the law during his second escape from behind bars.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_327" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-327" style="width: 1320px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-327" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/bundy.jpg" alt="bundy" width="1320" height="816" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-327" class="wp-caption-text">Ted Bundy (center, handcuffed) is led smiling out of court in 1977. His abilities to charm and manipulate people continue to be infamous to this day – during his trial, he even gained a large fan club following. (Donn Dughi | Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As a former political operative, part of watching this film feels familiar and somewhat voyeuristic. No, none of my clients were killers or criminals (well there is always that one guy that makes me wonder…) but they were all talented liars. They weren’t bullshit artists in the way you’d encounter a TV evangelist or a used car salesman, these people were so good at lying at times they could even fool themselves of their sainthood and innocence. Bundy’s false courage, empty tears, and hallow love remind us all that there are parts of humanity that would do anything to survive, and everything to paint the truth their way.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Bundy is dead, justice was served, but televising his case for the world to see was perhaps one of the worst things we could have ever done to our court system. Bundy’s ability to run the show at times without a doubt showed some sycophants, psychopaths, and villains that if you try hard enough, you too could convince a portion of the country that the deadly lion is really the innocent mouse. Looking at how Bundy was able to convince hoards of young women to attend his trial and plead his innocence, I’m never surprised to see people believing the most outrageous of political lies even when we know the people saying they are proud and open criminals themselves.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile</em> is one of Netflix’s best produced films. This is a film that should be on everyone’s watchlist whether you enjoy crime films or not. The suspense is authentic, the acting is on point, and the story is one I bet you haven’t seen before. Ted Bundy will be a case you’ll want to dive into further, and then ask whether this was a one-off case for the ages or if it was the start of a trend more deteriorating and tragic than we could assume: a media circus and complete shitshow that shows where there is blood, there are almost always going to be great ratings.</p>

THE LIZARD PEOPLE | Joshua S. Porter, self-published 2019. Cover illustration by Simon Lindenthaler</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I’ve never read anything like <em>Punk Rock vs. The Lizard People</em> though.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Joshua S. Porter’s newest novel novel is a wacky and incredibly fun journey through the perils of teenage angst and rebellion against lizard alien overlords, that’s also masterfully interwoven with lessons about grief, social commentary, and thoughts on all of our individual quests for significance and meaning.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Imagine a world where social media was introduced in the late 1970s, where Jim Henson (yes, that Jim Henson, the Jim Henson of <em>The Muppets</em>) is a dark, revolutionary outlaw; a world were seemingly benevolent vulture-like reptilian aliens have a seemingly-benevolent rule over humanity; a world where punk rock, <em>Stranger Things</em>, and <em>Black Mirror</em> all collide – that’s just the tip of the iceberg.</p>
<h2>Alternate History</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The premise for the book seems fairly simple at first – in the 1970s, alien visitors arrive in Washington D.C. and meet President Gerald Ford. They claim to be entirely benevolent and that their civilization has evolved past the crude acts of conflict and warfare. They promise to help introduce a new ear of peace and technological advancement for humanity, but they must do so gradually – humanity is a fragile flow and if the garden hose is turned on it full blast, it will perish rather than flourish. Of course, on of the first pieces of technology they introduce is the Internet and social media.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Enter our protagonist, 17 year old Danny Thomas – just an 80s teenager nerding out on tech, movies, and music. His group of friends is a bunch of Breakfast Club-esque misfits. None of them fit in with their self-obsessed peers, who occupy them-selves with posting selfies and being “influencers”.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Danny and his friends begin to suspect (with the assistance of a renegade lizard person and some mysterious posts found on the Internet) that the aliens did not actually have the best of intentions when they introduced social media to humanity. This puts them directly at odds with society, their high school classmates, and the alien and human authorities. What follows is a bizarre and extremely entertaining adventure to stop the aliens nefarious plot.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">While all these alien hijinks may sound bonkers, the book definitely touches on a variety of heavier topics. The finale dives into a deep examination of the crazy lengths that we will go to to feel significant. The final chapters explore the ways that tragedy effects us and we handle our grief. And predictably, after reading I imagine you’ll be forced to reevaluate your use of social media after wrapping this up – I know I did.</p>
<h2>A Nostalgia Trip</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I wasn’t alive in the 1980s, so I can’t say that this novel (set in 1987) brought me any sort of deep nostalgic experience. That being said, if you did live through that decade – especially if you were a teenager back then – I’m sure you would have that sort of experience.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Porter was extremely thorough in how he crafted the story’s primary setting (Portland, Oregon, 1987). The cultural references were spot on in every instance, from popular song names to arcade games to leisure activities.</p>
<h2>An Obvious Passion Project</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Punk Rock vs. The Lizard People</em> is the first installment birthed from Porter’s newest venture, <em>The Word Virus: The Annals of Pestilence</em>. This project is an “anthology of ongoing fiction presented as physical books and through a serialized audiobook podcast”. After reading this book, I’m very excited to see what comes from <em>The Word Virus</em> next.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_330" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-330" style="width: 346px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-330" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/07/author-shot1.jpg" alt="author-shot1" width="346" height="310" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-330" class="wp-caption-text">JOSHUA PORTER IS NO STRANGER to either punk rock or writing. He was the frontman of the former raw-rock band Showbread and wrote six novels before Punk Rock vs. The Lizard People.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I’ve kept up with Josh Porter’s artistic career since around 2009, back when he was the frontman for the band <em>Showbread</em> (still my favorite band to this day). I’ve read his previous six books (some of them multiple tipunmes). I’ve followed his various side-projects (check out the music of <em>Church of Agony</em> and the <em>You Hate Movies</em> podcast sometime). For anyone familiar with his previous work, The Word Virus – and this book in particular – are the obvious culmination of his art so far. This books combines so many of the themes and archetypes that flowed through Showbread’s lyrics and the pages of Porter’s previous novels (especially <em>Nevada</em> and <em>An Edict of Worms</em>).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Porter’s adoration of human life, Jesus Christ, skepticism of modern capitalism/ consumerism, and his general punk-rock attitude have all found their home in his newest piece of work.</p>
<h2>A Multi-Media Experience</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">One of the more unique and appreciated features of <em>Punk Rock vs. The Lizard People</em> is that it’s more than just a book to read. Throughout the novel, there are footnotes instructing you to listen to certain songs during certain parts of the story to enhance your experience. I was skeptical that this would be of any benefit at first, but after three songs in I was convinced this was the way to read the book.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Additionally, the entire novel can be listened to in audiobook form, read by Porter himself. Personally, I preferred reading the novel, but I still appreciate the effort Porter went to to make his work accessible to everyone, regarding of reading ability or personal preference.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The only thing that could make this better is if they’d made a movie out of it too.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back to The Brian Nichols Show!  As always, my goal is to educate, enlighten, and inform, and today is no different, as I am once again joined by the one and only, Larry Sharpe!</p>
<p>Larry should be a stranger to none of you, as he was easily the most notable Libertarian candidate seeking elected office in 2018, as he ran on the Libertarian Party ticket in my home state of New York, garnering both national attention and a fantastic base of libertarians along the way.</p>
<p>Larry returns to the show to discuss the outcome of his 2018 run, what he learned along the way, and digs into the reason Larry is still out talking to voters across New York State (and other states) as a part of his “#FullSharpe” campaign.</p>
<p>Later, we discuss his new media empire, “Sharpe Way Media”, and his new radio show, “The Sharpe Way”.  And finally, Larry gives his take on the tribalism America is currently facing and his predictions for 2020 and beyond. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Man, I sure missed you all last week while I was on vacation!  But thankfully, we’re back on track with our regularly scheduled programming, as this week I am joined by Caleb Shumate!</p>
<p>Caleb is a passionate advocate for liberty and storyteller with a deep appreciation of history.  Today he joins the show to discuss one of his more recent articles over at The Libertarian Republic- “Colt Made Me Equal”: A Disabled Libertarian’s Case For Gun Ownership.</p>
<p>Listen as Caleb explains the importance of gun ownership, especially for those individuals who may be at a physical disadvantage when compared to those who might seek to cause them harm.  We also touch on Caleb’s experience as someone with cerebral palsy and how despite his physical limitations, he has found himself rejecting the concepts of government handouts and has embraced libertarianism and constitutional conservatism.</p>

It feels like the 1973 ruling of Roe v. Wade might actually come before the US Supreme Court.<br />
 <br />
As a physician and hospital, the social and ethical questions that surround abortion are both personal and professional. What is the obligation of institutions to perform abortions? How about the physicians or nursing staff?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On America’s 243rd anniversary of declaring independence from the stranglehold of King George, Michigan Congressman <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://reason.com/2019/07/04/justin-amash-declares-independence-from-republican-party" target="_blank">Justin Amash declared</a> freedom from the stranglehold of the two-party system in <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/justin-amash-our-politics-is-in-a-partisan-death-spiral-thats-why-im-leaving-the-gop/2019/07/04/afbe0480-9e3d-11e9-b27f-ed2942f73d70_story.html" target="_blank">this morning’s Washington Post</a>.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“Today, I am declaring my independence and leaving the Republican Party. No matter your circumstance, I’m asking you to join me in rejecting the partisan loyalties and rhetoric that divide and dehumanize us. I’m asking you to believe that we can do better than this two-party system — and to work toward it. If we continue to take America for granted, we will lose it.”</p></blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Amash is a true believer in the Founding principles of the country and couches his Hayekian-libertarianism in the rhetoric of that generation. In terms of messaging, it is a brilliant strategy to show how far adrift we are from the principles laid out in our founding documents. <br /><br />I have long advocated that libertarians should use the Founding as a yardstick to delegitimate our current government in the minds of the average American. Utopian concepts are hard to sell, but the myths of America are firmly set in their minds. It is the intellectual equivalent of wrapping medicine in cheese slices for your puppy. <br /><br />In his opinion piece, Amash ties the current moment to Washington’s Farewell Address. <br /></p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p><em>True to Washington’s fears, Americans have allowed government officials, under assertions of expediency and party unity, to ignore the most basic tenets of our constitutional order: separation of powers, federalism and the rule of law. The result has been the consolidation of political power and the near disintegration of representative democracy.<br /><br />These are consequences of a mindset among the political class that loyalty to the party is more important than serving the American people or protecting our governing institutions.</em></p></blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br />In a Facebook comment today, a Republican fought back for his dying brand by saying, “[Amash] is expeditiously trying to become a national name to have a run at the POTUS position. He is a fake. A fraud. A phony.” <br /><br />He cited Amash’s sinking poll numbers amongst Republicans in Michigan’s third district as the real reason he’s abdicating his Congressional seat. The commenter sees it as a cynical ploy to promote Justin Amash. <br /><br />My response? Republicans should be concerned that a Constitutional conservative has been rejected by their party. Thomas Jefferson or George Washington would not be welcome in the modern Republican Party. This person clearly doesn’t know Justin Amash, and the more they do, the more they’ll realize they are wrong. (<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://wearelibertarians.com/72-a-conversation-with-congressman-justin-amash/" target="_blank">Fortunately, you can learn more about Amash by listening to his interview with Brian Nichols.</a>)<br /><br />The commenter is right that Justin Amash will run for President as a Libertarian. Party officials won’t confirm that they’ve had talks with Amash in an official capacity. Despite this denial, the national Chair shared an article by Amash recently, and staff members of the national party all shared the Amash’s piece today (while <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://wearelibertarians.com/wal-daily-100-hodey-accidentally-trolls-the-lp-by-helping-it/" target="_blank">finding any excuse</a> not to share <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://wearelibertarians.com/category/podcasts/debates/" target="_blank">debates between the currently declared candidates</a>.) State directors for social media, outreach, and fundraising have been identified in multiple states. <br /><br />Personally, I will vote for Justin Amash. I would not vote for any other currently declared Libertarian, Republican, or Democratic candidate. Amash doesn’t have the baggage or suspect presentation of Bob Barr. He has the philosophical foundation and boldness that Johnson could never muster. <br /><br />Amash is intelligent, accomplished, and the majority of Americans will embrace him. This is a chance for the Libertarian Party to make gains like never before. Not only could they see increased electoral success, but hearts and minds could be won for liberty as no Libertarian candidate has done in our generation. <br /><br />This advancement requires the various factions of the libertarian movement to stop arguing and start working. Hopefully, libertarians will rise to this occasion. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, some free advice for Amash from an old LP veteran: Stay away from Ron Nielson and Russ Verney and the failed strategies they pursued. They focused on grassroots organizations in single states to win in the Electoral College. Focus on the Ron Paul strategy of big events and rallies and media across the country. Top-of-ticket LP candidates are marketing opportunities for the ideas of liberty. Ron Paul built a movement with his strategy, and Bob Barr and Gary Johnson have been left in the dustbin of history. Amash has always been the heir apparent to Ron Paul, and it is time to pick up that mantle. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to The Brian Nichols Show!  If this is your first time joining us here at The Brian Nichols Show, thank you so much for taking half an hour of your day as you join us on our journey of learning and spreading liberty!  </p>
<p>Today is no exception, as I am joined by the CEO of Students for Liberty, Dr. Wolf von Laer!  Students For Liberty is a rapidly growing network of pro-liberty students from all over the world, who’s mission is to educate, develop, and empower the next generation of leaders of liberty.  Student’s For Liberty is the largest libertarian student organization in the world, who’s strategy is that of empowerment, identifying the top student leaders, and training them to be agents of change in their communities.</p>
<p>Dr. Wolf von Laer received his PhD in Political Economy at King’s College London in March 2017. Wolf lived and studied in the US, Turkey, Spain, Germany, the UK, Sweden, and Argentina.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A congresswoman recently brought the public’s attention back to migrant camps on the southern border by calling them concentration camps. While <a target="_blank" href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/concentration%20camp" rel="noreferrer noopener">Merriam-Webster</a> would agree with her definition, it read like hyperbole. Everything seems to be hyperbole in 2019, so it is hard to know what matters anymore. Like every other issue in the news, we’ve descended into unproductive, and often untrue, debates about these camps. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A year ago, We Are Libertarians spent dozens of hours researching this issue from every angle. We listed every source we could find, and we tried to present a fair and honest look at what is happening. Almost all of this information is still relevant. Judging by the website hits and reactions, your friends WANT to hear this show. Please listen for yourself, and if you find it informative, <strong><em>please share it.</em></strong> This issue really matters. <a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/294-separation-of-immigrant-children-at-the-border/">Here is the link with the show prep</a>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-audio"><audio controls src="https://aphid.fireside.fm/d/1437767933/b2a2192a-f217-4d52-862d-afefb761659e/c46e54c0-da57-43ac-bfa6-73ff141cd646.mp3"></audio></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">While the episode is a year old, the fundamental facts have not changed, but the conditions have.</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/alvarombedoya/status/1141940694149423104?s=20" rel="noreferrer noopener">Six children have died due to poor conditions</a>. Infants and children <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/21/us/migrant-children-border-soap.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">aren’t allowed to bathe</a>, toilet facilities aren’t working, necessary items like soap and toothbrushes aren’t provided, and dangerous overcrowding is taking place. Diseases are rampant, but health care is minimal. Fear not, the guards have adequate face masks to protect themselves from the unhealthy air. They’re also <a target="_blank" href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/inside-a-texas-building-where-the-government-is-holding-immigrant-children" rel="noreferrer noopener">punishing kids for losing their lice combs</a>. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/27/us/immigrant-children-sexual-abuse.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">Thousands of children were sexually abused</a>. The government has <a target="_blank" href="https://reason.com/2019/06/24/u-s-government-says-migrant-children-deserve-dirty-traumatizing-conditions/" rel="noreferrer noopener">argued that all of this is acceptable</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If an individual perpetrated this, it would be an episode of an SVU. Morality doesn’t change when something is done in the name of the collective. Morality doesn’t change because they are immigrants, either. As believers in natural rights, all prisoners should be treated with dignity. I find it hard to understand how Republicans will continuously advocate for the rights and dignity of the unborn but have little empathy for immigrants being neglected in American prisons.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe the left was right in the mid-2000s when they warned that indefinite detentions and inhumane treatment at places like GITMO would lead to moral rot. Public opinion, and then government policy, usually cut its teeth on the people that provoke no sympathy in the minds of a population. We must be careful, or prisoners in a country with ever-expanding laws will begin allowing our people to be tortured by government bureaucrats ending in death. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a target="_blank" href="https://wal.fireside.fm/417" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oh, wait. </a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why is this happening?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whenever laws are passed, executives have multiple ways they can execute the laws. Trump has chosen to interpret immigration laws rigorously and is changing the way <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/20/podcasts/the-daily/immigration-asylum-mexico-trump.html">legal immigration (asylum) is handled</a>. This has pushed detention centers far beyond their capacity, and Democrats in Congress see this as a winner politically, so they aren’t increasing funding. In the meantime, children are being tortured so that politicians can win elections. Over the past few weeks, there has been an enormous influx over the borders because of Trump’s standoff with Mexico. People are concerned they won’t be able to get it. <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/06/24/andalzuas-park-rio-grande-four-bodies-one-woman-three-children">Three children and one woman died yesterday</a>. I’ll also direct your attention to a <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/allow-basic-necessities-be-donated-immigrants-detention-centers">petition asking Congress</a> to allow private donations to be made to those in custody. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But Obama did it! This is true, but it also wasn’t at this magnitude. Secondly, this argument nods to the fact that this is morally repugnant, but it should be allowed because the other President did bad stuff too. If conservatives feel this is disgusting, then why not lead instead of blaming the other party? Why aren’t Democrats calling on their leadership to fix the problem? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Conservatives fail to understand that border controls are like taxes. Labor is a resource in a market, and interfering with the free flow of labor has unintended consequences in the same way that aggressive (or any) taxation stalls an economy. Liberals fail to see that bureaucracy will always lead to failed outcomes (AKA people dying) because of bad incentives, slow change, and limited resources. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve found this story to be very difficult, personally. It is hard to think that people are just ok with the conditions of these children. While I may lean more open-borders than closed borders, I can see the need to follow our laws as written. The rule of law is an important principle is a society founded on laws. I can see why a person could say, “I don’t want immigrants to enter my country for X reasons.” What I don’t understand is a nonchalant shrug, or worse, a sociopathic defense of what amounts to torture for the most vulnerable humans on the planet. Often, people want to turn away from the human costs that result from using government force to avoid feeling guilt or shame. We outsource hard questions to the government, and politics inevitably leads to a lack of empathy for our fellow humans. This sad episode in American life illustrates the moral cost of such a choice. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to The Brian Nichols Show!  For you first time listeners, I am your humble host, Brian Nichols, and here at The Brian Nichols Show, our goal is to educate, enlighten, and inform.  </p>
<p>Today is no exception, as I am joined by Congressman Justin Amash. Congressman Amash has been making headlines as of late, with his being the first Republican in Congress to assert that President Trump committed potentially impeachable offenses in regards to his actions and potential obstruction of justice as it relates to the Mueller Investigation.</p>
<p>Congressman Amash joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss his tenure in Congress, the principles that he leans on when crafting legislation, the rationale behind his public statements regarding President Trump’s “impeachable offenses”, and the manner in which populism and nationalism have taken over the Republican Party in an era of Trump.  </p>
<p>Later, we discuss Congressman Amash’s fierce opposition to the surveillance state, focusing on his staunch opposition to the Patriot Act, FISA, and his recent attempts to reign in FISA Section 702, which would have helped put a stop to warrantless FISA surveillance.</p>
<p>We conclude our conversation by addressing the elephant (or porcupine?) in the room… Will Congressman Amash seek to fight President Trump at the ballot box in 2020 by primarying Trump as a Republican, or rather as the top of the Libertarian Party ticket?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 117  of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!</p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/130" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/130</a></p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts. Full house tonight with Kade Koger in the co-host seat, summer intern Mason Rottinghaus is back. Chris Guffey pushes the buttons in the producer’s chair.<br />
The big topic tonight is employment. What makes you want to work somewhere? The Indianapolis Business Journal podcast recently talked about giving employees paid time off to volunteer. Unemployment is historically low. Labor is a sellers market. The crew examines what drives you to work somewhere? Is it all about the money? The people? The schedule? Kade is an employer, Mason is about to start a career, Jer, Chris, and Dakota are in their careers.<br />
Great conversations around a huge issue!</p>
<p>We also talk about our absolutely laziest habits. It is confession time. <br />
Confess your laziness by emailing <a href="mailto:dakota@bosshogofliberty.com" rel="nofollow">dakota@bosshogofliberty.com</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The government stinks.  I know it.  You know it.  We all know it.  So, instead of sending your hard earned money to the government every year to do “societal good”, why not send it to nonprofits who actually, ya know, know what they’re doing and do it well?</p>
<p>That’s where “We Do Better” comes into play.  We Do Better seeks to promote the freedom and well-being of all Americans by maximizing the quality and accessibility of public services and accountability in their provision. <br />
 We Do Better is one of the leaders in advocating for charitable credits in cities, counties, states, and nationwide that allow taxpayers to direct a portion of their taxes to organizations that meet human needs in their communities. </p>
<p>Listen as Rick Rivkin (part of We Do Better’s national team) joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss how easy it is to become an advocate of We Do Better’s mission.  Later, Rick discusses some of the wins that We Do Better has under their belt, different means of grassroots outreach that We Do Better has taken advantage of, and how easy it is for anyone to have their tax dollars go towards charities they care about rather than go to our inefficient government. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        There has been no shortage of ink spilled arguing how we fix our broken US health care system so today I will use the spoken word instead. Fundamentally, we all want the same things from the system: Quality care, Affordable care, and Access to care. The real question is how do we move from here to there? Are there people who have fixed these problems even on a small scale that we can use as guides to work things out? Finally, should we look off shores for solutions to our woes?</p>

This week, we feature Steven Vitatoe, who leads the welding program at the New Castle Career Center and also provides instruction at Ivy Tech, the local community college. Students who complete the program are almost all placed into jobs immediately, have no student debt and are earning north of $20 to $25 an hour.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey guys!  Thanks for stopping by for another episode of The Brian Nichols Show!  This week I had the pleasure of interviewing David Osborne of The Fairness Center!</p>
<p>The Fairness Center is a nonprofit, public interest law firm that provides free legal services to those hurt by public-sector union officials.  Having worked with The Fairness Center as a chapter leader at the America’s Future Foundation in Philadelphia, I wanted to make sure I brought them on my show to talk about the great work they do helping those public sector employees stand up for their rights against the corrupt union officials.</p>
<p>After listening to today’s episode, be sure to take a second and share today’s episode with FIVE of your friends… that’s it… only five!  And if you could, swing over to iTunes and give the show a rate and review so we keep moving up the podcast rankings, thus allowing us to spread the message of liberty even further!</p>
<p>David Osborne Bio: David R. Osborne is President & General Counsel at the Fairness Center. David helped to launch the Fairness Center in 2014, provides advice and counsel to clients, and directs and manages the firm. Prior to joining the Fairness Center, David practiced law in Florida, where he had previously served as clerk to a Florida Supreme Court justice.</p>
<p>David received his Juris Doctorate from the Florida State University College of Law, graduating magna cum laude. He enrolled in law school after working as official staff for a member of Congress from Orlando, Florida.    </p>
<p>David is a member of the Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Florida state bars and has been admitted to the United States Supreme Court and the Federal District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. He is based in central Pennsylvania, where he is also President of the Harrisburg Chapter of the Federalist Society and a State Advisory Committee member for the United States Commission on Civil Rights.</p>
<p>The Fairness Center Bio: The Fairness Center is a nonprofit, public interest law firm that provides free legal services to those hurt by public-sector union officials. Being, above all, client centric, we vigorously pursue our clients’ goals through a cohesive, wholistic approach to representation, advocating for our clients both in the court of law and the court of public opinion. As we pursue our bedrock principle of excellent representation on behalf of our clients, the firm’s seasoned litigation attorneys employ a variety of strategies to further our clients’ best interests. Our attorneys have the experience and knowledge to engage in complex civil litigation, and can handle matters ranging from administrative charges and hearings to filing traditional and class action lawsuits in federal and state courts.</p>
<p>Our firm has filed a wide variety of lawsuits on behalf of individuals who are both union and non-union members, and for organizations seeking to push back on injuries caused by the actions of public-sector union officials. This includes representing teachers who want to do what they love without supporting a union with which they disagree; a graduate assistant who wants an education without union involvement; a homecare worker who wants to protect his working relationship from union intrusion; taxpayers who want their money to support education, not union activity; a firefighter’s local union trying to protect its firefighters’ right to disaffiliate from a large, state union; and religious objectors to unionism who want to support that in which they believe, not what union officials choose for them.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts.  We are joined by attorney Sean Row and Purdue University Student Mason Rottinghaus are the featured guests. We talk about the cost of college, massive student loan debt, and the prospects for getting rid of it. Mason is entering his sophmore year at Purdue. Students have to navigate a myriad of programs, loans, and funding sources. Did you know there isn’t an established sticker price for dorm room selection? Who pays attention when picking their meal plan?</p>
<p>The politico’s are starting to pay attention. Serious proposals from Senator Elizabeth Warren and others have started the conversation. Should the federal government fix this? Should the states or universities be responsible. Oregon has an interesting program. Purdue has the “Back a Boiler Program” and tuition freezes for 8 years and counting. Students sign up for tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands in debt. Eventually, we are all going to pay for it. The question is how and when.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts. Our featured guest is Dr Eric Schansberg, author and professor of Economics at Indiana University. With a broad background in public policy and a history as a political candidate, he is a perfect guest for the program. Tonight we talked about the theory of Universal Basic Income or as Andrew Yang calls it, the “Freedom Dividend”. A fascinating conversation about how we could see the next 100 years of public policy play out.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back to The Brian Nichols Show!  It’s always a fun time when you get to interact with other libertarian podcasters, and this week is no exception, as I am joined by Banks and Shane from “The Rebellion”!  </p>
<p>Now, most of you are likely familiar with at least one-half of this dynamic duo, as I was joined by Shane Hazel back in the summer of 2018 to discuss his candidacy for US Congress in the great state of Georgia.  Upon settling back into some normalcy post-campaign, Shane decided to team up with his campaign manager, Banks Wise, and together they formed “The Rebellion”.  </p>
<p>“Armed with truth bombs, timeless principles and an ample dose of humor, Banks & Shane navigate the tempestuous sea of life and politics.  Ready to bring down the Empire?  Welcome to The Rebellion.”</p>
<p>After you’re finished with today’s episode, do me a favor and swing over to Banks and Shane’s show and be sure to subscribe to their podcast.  They do a lot of great work over there and I cannot recommend their show enough.  </p>
<p>Also, for those of you looking for a particular interview with a particular Congressman, please stay patient… with some events/tweets being sent last weekend regarding a particular President, we had to get flexible with scheduling, and we are officially back on the books with said Congressman for the beginning of June… so have no fear, the interview is near!</p>

We review the end and if it was satisfying to our panel of nerds and then discuss what parallels there are in modern politics and Game of Thrones. What is power? Is it moral or immoral?

<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts. Indy 500 preview episode!<br />
Full breakdown of the Indy 500 field, the absolute david vs goliath of Juncos making the race and McLaren missing it. Zach Burcham and Mike McKown are back again with the full insider breakdown. We give the breakdown to Chris Guffey on what to expect in his first experience.</p>
<p>Matt Peiffer joins us as a first year “yellow shirt” for the track and tells us about his experiences. Matt is also working with Indiana Department of Child Services, raising money for youth in the foster care program. Jeremiah and Sara found a “ten dollar” outfit, but it was incomplete. You can participate by clicking here: #InTheirShoes – <a href="https://bit.ly/2HtGIzW" rel="nofollow">https://bit.ly/2HtGIzW</a><br />
Finally – we get the FULL breakdown of the betting odd, and there are some gentlemens wagers on the winners. Jeremiah thinks Jack Harvey is a STEAL at 200-1.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boy oh boy are you guys in for a special episode today, as today I am joined once again by, “easily one of the best of the best”, Matt Kibbe!  </p>
<p>Matt returns to The Brian Nichols Show to discuss his newest venture over at BlazeTV- Kibbe on Liberty, where “Libertarian Matt Kibbe puts aside politics to have mostly honest conversations with mostly interesting people.”</p>
<p>Listen as Matt and I start off by discussing the importance of liberty organizations that engage young people, like that of what Cliff Maloney is doing with Young Americans for Liberty (YAL).  Later, we dig into his new show, Kibbe on Liberty, have a fun-filled chat about Hayek, and then dig into Trump, the Mueller Report, and Bob Barr.  Finally, we conclude by discussing Matt’s 2020 “wish list” of presidential and touch on the topic of one Congressman Justin Amash’s possible future endeavors…</p>
<p>Matt’s Bio: Matt Kibbe is the President and Chief Community Organizer at Free the People, an educational organization turning the next generation on to the values of liberty. We reach the “liberty curious” through social media, video, and storytelling. Kibbe is also an Executive Producer at CRTV, where he produces “The Deadly Isms,” a documentary series about the dangers of all flavors of authoritarianism.</p>
<p>He is the Co-Founder and Partner at Fight the Power Productions, a strategic communications firm focused on video production, social media branding, and compelling storytelling.</p>
<p>He is also a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Austrian Economics Center in Vienna. In 2004 Kibbe founded FreedomWorks, where he served as President for 11 years. Steve Forbes said, “Kibbe has been to FreedomWorks what Steve Jobs was to Apple.”</p>
<p>Against his better judgment, Kibbe occasionally gets involved in politics, serving as Senior Advisor to a Rand Paul SuperPAC, and creating AlternativePAC to support liberty candidates. Back when Yoda was a teenager, Kibbe worked as Chief of Staff on Capitol Hill, as Budget Director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and at the Republican National Committee.</p>
<p>Dubbed “The Scribe” by the New York Daily News, Kibbe is most recently author of the #2 New York Times bestseller, Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff: A Libertarian Manifesto. In his spare time he appears on Old Media, including FOX News, MSNBC, CNN and HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher. Most of his best material is lifted from his three liberty-minded cats, Roark, Ragnar, and Rearden.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        Today, we continue our journey discussing physicians who are using direct patient care through a membership model as disruptors in the health care field. Direct primary care is one of the most disruptive and innovative models to emerge in recent years and more and more specialties are looking for ways to adopt the insurance-free notion of providing care to patients. Now we can add an OB/GYN to the ever growing lists of physician specialties as I discover the practice of Deborah Herchelroath, DO.</p>

<p>Crowd Funded Government is a new approach to government funding that can be applied to all levels of government. Crowd Funded Government would eliminate any undemocratic influence of lobbyists.

<p>Listen as Theodore and I discuss how we would get to a “crowd funded government”, some challenges it may face, and what a truly “crowd funded government” would look like. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 111  of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!</p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/124" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/124</a></p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts.  We are joined by attorney Sean Row and Purdue University Student Mason Rottinghaus are the featured guests.</p>
<p>We talk about the cost of college, massive student loan debt, and the prospects for getting rid of it.<br />
Mason is entering his sophmore year at Purdue. Students have to navigate a myriad of programs, loans, and funding sources. Did you know there isn’t an established sticker price for dorm room selection? Who pays attention when picking their meal plan?</p>
<p>The politico’s are starting to pay attention. Serious proposals from Senator Elizabeth Warren and others have started the conversation. Should the federal government fix this? Should the states or universities be responsible. Oregon has an interesting program. Purdue has the “Back a Boiler Program” and tuition freezes for 8 years and counting.</p>
<p>Students sign up for tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands in debt. Eventually, we are all going to pay for it. The question is how and when.</p>
<p>Also have some local updates on 1400 plaza construction and a rant on primary “elections”</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

The obvious way to begin is to start with defining libertarian socialism. <em>Libertarian Socialism</em> is a social system which believes in freedom of action and thought and free will, in which the producers possess both political power, and the means of producing and distributing goods. <em>(<a href="https://medium.com/anarchist-faq/a-1-3-d47bb6fcd7f1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2</a>)</em> The traditional definition of Socialism is worker ownership of the means of production (not just “what the government does”). <em>Capitalism</em> is private ownership of the means of production. It is rooted in private property; capital, or the private means of production (the words will be used in a way that is interchangeable during the course of this piece). Personal property consists of consumer and non-capital goods and services. In socialism, one can still own things, socialists are simply against private property. It is important to differentiate between <em>private</em> and <em>personal</em> property. <em>Propertarianism</em> is unfortunately the norm of American libertarianism. The idea of propertarianism is a right-libertarian philosophy which is rooted in advocating for the replacement of collective entities with contractual relationships. Propertarian ideals are most commonly cited to advocate for a state or other governance body whose main or only job is to enforce contracts and private property. The <em>working class</em> are the individuals who do not own capital. They are on the bottom of those vertical relationships. I will discuss more about the idea of a vertical vs. horizontal society later on.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Coming from the libertarian right, I always felt uncomfortable with some of the rhetoric the right would spew. People I respect but disagree with on policy, would often make claims which stated along the lines of “Libertarians don’t care about the poor!” or “Libertarians just want poor people to die.” Harsh claims, which I often ignored; however, through the years of attending various libertarian events, it often felt as though critics were right. Even with the feelings of doubt, my firm faith in what they call the “free market” kept me repeating conservative platitudes. Into the Trump era, there was a larger sense of isolation, pushing me further and further left – from the often demonization of immigrants, to the lack of empathy for the poor, calling the poor “lazy” or entitled. The bond between conservatives and right-libertarians did not make sense to me, even early on in my young libertarian life when I was a Ron Paul, Young Americans for Liberty, and Students for Liberty activist.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-169" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/q1.jpg" alt="q1" width="445" height="188" />However, even as a right-wing libertarian activist, I have kept my two biggest issues consistent along the way; the issues I value most are immigration and foreign policy. These issues, I did not realize until I became left, are rooted in colonialism, racism, and, to a greater extent, profit. The libertarian-right likes to turn immigrants and people we bomb into dollar figures, while saving money is a good thing in a capitalist economy, I think that we, as libertarians, need to dig deeper. We need to do better. Yes, taxation is theft, but so is colonialism and profit. <em>Profits</em> are the unpaid worker wages.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">All immigrants should be welcomed, yes; and too often the United States’ policies are a direct reason for refugees and victims of the imperialist empire. One of my favorite authors and critics of U.S. foreign policy is Noam Chomsky, who says that “<em>Everyone is worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there is really an easy way. Stop participating in it.</em>” <em>(<a href="https://tubitv.com/movies/189478/power_and_terror_noam_chomsky_in_our_times?autoplay=true&utm_source=google-feed&tracking=google-feed" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">3</a>)</em> But these atrocities can be directly linked to capitalism, war profit. It has been said that there will be no peace until capitalism is abolished, and I’d concur. The days of dinosaur ideas which demonize immigrants and put poor brown people in danger need to come to an end. It is time to try another way.</p>
<h2>Mutual Aid</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">To me, there is no real point of liberty if the policies we advocate do not help our fellow human beings. Decentralization, civil liberties, and open borders advocates have a long history of mutual aid, and a passion for a cause bigger than oneself is what draws me to the idea of human liberty. In a word, empathy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Peter Kropotkin developed theories of mutual aid based on the concept of the autonomous individual. Those theories emphasize an open model of voluntary cooperation in mutual aid groups, rather than induced cooperation. <em>(<a href="https://www.amazon.de/Help-Gegenseitig-behindern-politische-Wahrnehmung/dp/3826050177" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">4</a>)</em> Not surprisingly, mutual aid examples include unions and “fraternity” societies which developed during the Great Depression, and it is often thought of as the cornerstone to the self-help movement. Practices like alcohol and drug rehab, mental health help, and HIV support are areas where mutual aid practices are used. Mutual aid solidifies what it means to be truly human. When we share our resources and help the most vulnerable, we are helping not only others, but ourselves – through a greater sense of community.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In 2018, I helped found the Libertarian Socialist Caucus of the Libertarian Party (LSCLP). Currently, we are the largest caucus in the party by the measure of Facebook likes. As members, we do not believe any one person speaks for the caucus itself; we are horizontal and decentralized. Recently, the national Libertarian Party announced that it is making “<em>There Ain’t No Such Thing as a Free Lunch</em>” their theme for the 2020 convention in Austin, Texas. In response to this, the LSCLP will be handing out free food to the needy, in a showcase that direct action and mutual aid really do work. It may be true that “there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch”, but to me, that sounds like a greater incentive to help those who can’t afford their lunch. (At the end of this piece, I have provided the Statement of Principles of the caucus for those interested in learning more about the LSCLP.)</p>
<h2>Communism and Anarchism</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">At its core, communism is anarchist. I describe <em>communism</em> as a philosophy which calls for the abolition of the state, capitalism, wage labor and private property, in favor of worker ownership of the means of production. Ironically, I view communists (and the left in general) to have a stronger support of the right to bear arms than the reactionary right. Karl Marx said that “<em>under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.</em>” <em>(<a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/communist-league/1850-ad1.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">5</a>)</em> Marx believed in an armed working class to defend itself from conditions that would transmit inequality. An armed working class makes for a more horizontal world, not the control which neoliberals desire and leftist are more pro gun than the modern republican who under Trump has done more to dismantle gun rights than Democrats did at any point during the Obama era.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-170" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/q2.jpg" alt="q2" width="383" height="226" />The U.S. is so far to the right that Bernie Sanders is considered a radical leftist by many. But folks like Bernie are still capitalist; they do not advocate for changing the system; rather, they advocate working within that same capitalist system to meet their goals. Throughout most of the world, libertarianism is leftist and the word <em>left</em> has a different meaning than it does in the States. Leftists historically believe in an armed working class and direct action above political action. What we often call leftists in the U.S. are often really just neoliberal reactionaries, who very rarely have sound, principled policies.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Most libertarians probably do not realize that the English word “libertarian” (l<em>ibertaire</em> in French) was originally popularized by French Anarcho-Communist Jacques Élisée Reclus in his 1896 work <em>L’anarchie</em> but can be traced even earlier in Reclus’ letter to P.J. Proudhon, who was an anarchist in the <em>Mutualist</em> school of thought. The word soon after, became synonymous with Anarcho-Communism and later used Libertarian Socialists to emphasize that we stand for liberty and equality alike. Clearly, this comes from a deeply left-wing culture that existed in France at that time since the French Revolution, like the famous slogan “<em>Liberté, égalité, fraternité</em>” (“Liberty, Equality, Fraternity). <em>(<a href="https://societyandspace.org/2015/04/30/pierre-joseph-proudhon-anarchism-and-geography-federico-ferretti/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">6</a>)</em></p>
<h2>Libertarianism is Not Capitalist</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Libertarianism is not about the privileges of riches, property ownership, or the fetish of consumption as seen in the modern American economy, but an idea of humanity first. I believe in liberty for all – that includes the poor, the disenfranchised and the those whom society looks down upon. American libertarianism is unique in that it is obsessed with right-wing propertarianism. This obsession has been a detriment of the ideas of liberty. We need more individuals in the liberty movement who have a sense of solidarity, community, and empowerment for the working class.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Libertarianism has historically always stood for liberty, equality, solidarity, until it was appropriated by the right in the U.S. Individuals like Mises, Rothbard, Ayn Rand, Reagan all contributed to pushing the ideas of liberty, and the political arena in the U.S., further and further right. In fact, Murray Rothbard bragged about stealing the word libertarian from the left when he said, “<em>One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, ‘our side,’ had captured a crucial word from the enemy . . . ‘Libertarians’ . . . had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over…</em>” <em>(7)</em> These people stand for prosperity, not anything that remotely comes close to liberty for all. As a libertarian, I use the traditional meaning of the word.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As Libertarian-Socialists, we have the belief system that is essentially one in which a socialist economy develops naturally through class consciousness and without regulation or government force imposing a socialist economy. Our view is that capitalism is being imposed on the population because governmental policies (enforcement of private property) and the government stepping back would allow socialism to form naturally. Abolishing the state rids ourselves of private property protections which capitalism imposes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Liberty goes beyond a non-agression principle – liberty encompasses a non-exploitation principle. It means that liberty transcends our current capitalistic system into a system that benefits all, not just those with the capital. In order to join the LSCLP, one must agree to the Non-Exploitation pledge. This pledge states that “<em>I certify that I oppose all forms of aggression, exploitation, and hierarchical relations of domination to achieve economic goals.</em>”</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_171" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-171" style="width: 3072px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-171" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/automation-e1556201394792.jpg" alt="automation" width="3072" height="1549" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-171" class="wp-caption-text">Automation could be a goal, rather than a fear. If society wasn’t fixated on capitalism and consumerism, the Lib-Soc view is favorable to the automation of menial labor. (Photo from Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Among other things, liberty means automation is a good thing; once we put the factories into the hands of the workers, instead of automation meaning their survival and livelihood is in question, it suddenly means more time off; time spent with family, friends – relationships blossoming, goals made, and natural interests tended to; it means that capitalistic red tape will become a thing of the past.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Imagine a world where one can spend time doing what they love, no matter their financial situation. A world that gives power to the individual. This is true empowerment, the total opposite of capitalism. It is often said by right-wing apologists of capitalism that capitalism is the so-called “natural way of doing things” – I would argue that there is nothing natural about the poisonous greed of capitalism. The idea of the economy itself is man-made. Truth be told, it is not a spontaneous force of nature rather an invented idea. As we progress as human beings, we can change ideas. It is rather senseless to elevate the ideas of capitalism above humanity.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-172" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/q3.jpg" alt="q3" width="421" height="233" />Liberty with solidarity is horizontal. Many of my fellow libertarian socialists say they do not believe in charity, we believe in solidarity. Charity enables us to look down upon our fellow human beings; it gives a sense of handouts and hierarchy, but solidarity equates to being one with our fellow human beings. It serves as a great sense of humanity, which I feel we have often lost in our material, capitalistic society where our lives become consume, produce, rinse and repeat. Through mutual aid and a horizontal world, our lives are more enriched.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Essentially, “mutual aid society” is a neutral umbrella term for any association of people that – autonomously of other social institutions – create their own system of mutual support based on some material needs, be it health care, food, housing, safety, and so on. These could historically be centered around immigrant communities, or based on geographical or workplace affinity. So it is not a totally isolated society, like some of the utopian socialist villages for instance, but part of a larger society.</p>
<h2>Types of Libertarian Socialism</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Socialism is a system that deals with the economics in human relations, not the relationship between man and the state. The state can be massive or nonexistent or somewhere in between in a socialist society. In a capitalist society however, a state is required to enforce private property.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There are many flavors of anarchist socialism and state socialism alike – the types I will be discussing are the anarchist flavors, which include mutualism, communism, and syndicalism.</p>
<h3>Mutualism</h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mutualism is a theory largely associated to Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. In his writing <em>What is Property?</em>, Proudhon argued that “<em>all capital, whether material or mental, being the result of collective labor, is, in consequence, collective property.</em>” Mutualists believe that a free market would open up equality for all. They argue that when we abolish the state, private property ceases to exists, and in turn, so do monopolies. The LSCLP is generally mutualist; though, of course, the caucus has a wide spectrum of views.</p>
<h3>Anarcho-Communism</h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Anarcho-Communism is an idea of horizontal associations. It emphasizes automation, abolition of wage labor, advocating for workers councils with the guiding principle of “<em>From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.</em>” Right-wing libertarians love to talk about whether something is truly voluntary but An-Coms actually walk the walk. They believe in a free and voluntary society, not just in terms of our relations with the state but also in terms of our relationship with the economy. Capitalism is not voluntary. Not on any level. The choice it brings to the table is between poverty, starvation, and death or selling ones basic labor for needs. Through the owning of land, private property, the capitalist leeches off the working class, in turn making himself the middle man between basic survival and freedom. In essence, there is little difference between this concept of capitalist hierarchy and the serfdom of a feudal society.</p>
<h3>Anarcho-Syndicalism</h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Anarcho-Syndicalism has been associated often with Noam Chomsky and is focused largely on the labor movement. Syndicalists believe that unions have the power to bring upon revolutionary change. The basic principles of this movement resides in solidarity and direct action. The idea of worker solidarity is that all workers – no matter the age, race, gender, creed, or ethnic group – are in a common situation with relation to their boss; this is known as class consciousness to many anarchists, but has been popularized by the syndicalists movement, in particular. They believe that the idea of bosses should be abolished, and in turn, all workers should make direct decisions in order to form a democratic workplace. The IWA (International Workers Association) is an international syndicalist group with the interest of achieving these goals. The group is a federation of unions from various countries. In that sense, syndicalist unions, lifeboat associations, healthcare schemes in present day Greece, the French <em>Bourse du Travail</em> in the late 1800s, or the local <em>barrio</em> defense and supplies committees in 1936 Barcelona are all examples of these societies.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It was Benjamin Tucker in his piece <em>Socialism: What It Is</em> <em>(<a href="http://fair-use.org/benjamin-tucker/instead-of-a-book/socialism-what-it-is" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">8</a>)</em> who said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><figure id="attachment_174" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-174" style="width: 225px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-174" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/tucker01-e1556202134205.jpg" alt="tucker01" width="225" height="587" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-174" class="wp-caption-text">Benjamin Tucker <em>(Photo from Wikimedia Commons)</em></figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Socialism… is… the recognition of the great truth that Liberty and Equality, through the law of Solidarity, will cause the welfare of each to contribute to the welfare of all… Today… society is fundamentally anti social. The whole so-called social fabrice rests on privilege and power, and is disordered and strained in every direction by the inequalities that necessarily result therefrom… Socialism says that what’s one man’s meat must no longer be another’s poison; that no man shall be able to add to his riches except by labor; that in adding to his riches by labor alone no man makes another man poorer; that on the contrary every man thus adding to his riches makes every other man richer; that increase and concentration of wealth through labor…, increase of capital in the hands of the laborer tends, in the absence of legal monopoly, to… the physical, mental, and moral perfecting of mankind, and the realization of human fraternity… The man who subscribes to that… however bitterly he may attack the thing which he mistakes for Socialism, is himself a Socialist; and the man who subscribes to its opposite and acts upon its opposite, however benevolent he may be, however pious he may be… is not a Socialist, but a Thief… Socialism… is… the great Anti-Theft Movement of the nineteenth century… Thou shalt not steal! That commandment is Socialism’s flag. Only not as a commandment, but as a law of nature. Socialism does not order; it prophecies… It says: When all men have Liberty, thou wilt not steal…</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">A large number of people, who see the evils of usury and are desirous of destroying them, foolishly imagine they can do so by authority, and accordingly are trying to abolish privilege by centring all production and activity in the State to the destruction of competition and its blessings, to the degradation of the individual, and to the putrefaction of Society. They are well-meaning but misguided… Other people, who have not yet seen the evils of usury and do not know that Liberty will destroy them, but nevertheless earnestly believe in Liberty for Liberty’s sake, are led to mistake this effort to make the State the be-all and end-all of society… and, rightly horrified… But the very reasonable and just criticisms of… State Socialism, when analyzed, are found to be directed, not against the Socialism, but against the State… Liberty insists on Socialism, nevertheless, – on true Socialism, Anarchistic Socialism: the prevalence on earth of Liberty, Equality, and Solidarity.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Clearly, Libertarian Socialism isn’t statist socialism nor is it an oxymoron, rather it is the original anarchist movement with a rich tradition.</p>
<h2>Living Conditions</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The U.S. has 6 empty houses to every homeless person. <em>(<a href="https://www.mintpressnews.com/empty-homes-outnumber-the-homeless-6-to-1-so-why-not-give-them-homes/207194/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">9</a>)</em> Homelessness is massive issue and can be wholly attributed to capitalism. Though housing is necessary for security, emotional well-being, identity, and overall basic survival, I believe there is no greater condemnation of the capitalistic society than two things: its denial of housing and the excess of food, while millions remain homeless and hungry. The capitalist class always blame the victims, yet private property rights seem to matter more than human rights. The fear of homelessness helps capitalism maintain its power. During the time of industrial capitalism, the unemployed were used by the ruling class to signal to the workers that they were lucky to have their jobs, and if they rebelled, they could be unemployed. Since then, after the 2007-2008 recession, as we move along further into post-industrial capitalism, the homeless are a warning to those potentially rebellious workers not satisfied with the status quo with their loss of wages, lack of stability and benefits, and to students of my generation, we are often called the zero generation: zero hope, zero jobs, zero possibilities, zero employment, who are in debt for their schooling.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-175" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/q4.jpg" alt="q4" width="432" height="179" />The message is to accept the declining status quo or end up homeless. Houses should be built for people to live in, not to remain empty. <em>(<a href="https://truthout.org/articles/homelessness-one-of-capitalism-s-many-inevitable-products/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">10</a>)</em> I am not saying the solution should come directly from the state, however, I am saying that capitalism is a failure in yet another area of our lives. Black Lives Matter in Louisville has recently started helping families get into low income housing. This is a wonderful example of direct action and mutual aid.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_176" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-176" style="width: 3264px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-176" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/vacant_houses_in_antwerpen_2-e1556202776412.jpg" alt="Vacant_houses_in_Antwerpen_2" width="3264" height="1397" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-176" class="wp-caption-text">Over eighteen million homes sit vacant in the United States alone, more than enough to house every homeless American multiple times. (Photo by Mark Ahsman, from Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Martin Luther King, Jr., in his speech to Southern Christian Leadership Conference Atlanta, Georgia, August 16, 1967 said that “<em>Capitalism forgets that life is social. . . I dream of a world without the isolation of capitalism. A world where my fellow human beings can be who they are, and do the things they love.</em>”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Health care is another exception where I as a libertarian step aside my fellow libertarians and endorse Medicare for All. We have all heard the argument that the U.S. is the only modern developed country without healthcare for its citizens, but recently a think tank connected to the Koch Brothers themselves even did a study to attempt to disprove the costs of Medicare for All, and they found that the costs are cheaper than what we are paying into the system now. This study was published by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. <em>(<a href="https://www.mercatus.org/system/files/blahous-costs-medicare-mercatus-working-paper-v1_1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">11</a>)</em> Is this solution ideal? Not at all. However, pragmatically, it is miles better than individuals being bankrupt due to our immoral healthcare system which has left the poor to die.</p>
<h2>Propertarianism vs. Libertarianism</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The reason why Propertarianism is not Libertarianism is because the propertarians frankly, advocate for exploitation, authority, subjugation, domination, and tyranny. I know right libertarians disagree, find it appalling and outright untrue, but it’s the truth: the right advocates for an authoritarian system of hierarchical domination. Call it Capitalism, private property, or propertarianism, there is no liberty in the status quo – unless, of course you own the means of production. Otherwise, you are a wage slave.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In Capitalism, individuals work in companies which I call private tyrannies, the boss gives the orders which generally must be followed unconditionally or the employee is dismissed. This is despotism, which Merriam-Webster calls “<em>The exercise of absolute power, especially in a cruel and oppressive way.</em>” So, a boss is exploiting their workers, who are selling themselves out to obey commands of an authority, just to have food on the table. Where is the Liberty in such a situation?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A corporation is a hierarchical chain of domination, where the commands come from above and are handed down below, from the CEO to the mid managers, to the lowest tier employee, while the wages grow as you move up the ladder of authority, the working conditions shrink as you go down in it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It’s an authoritarian system of domination, where your boss has near complete control over the lives of their employees, the boss decides how many sick days you are allotted, how much you can sleep or rest, he decides when you can take a lunch and eat or go to the toilet, he decides when you will have a holiday if you want to go to a vacation with your family, he decides whether he will give you a day off so that you can see your kid’s recital, and more recently, in a rather intrusive trend, they can even spy on your social media posts and if you criticize them on Twitter for example, you can get let go.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Kim Stanley Robinson summed it up well when he said “<em>If democracy and self-rule are the fundamentals, then why should people give up these rights when they enter their workplace? In politics we fight like tigers for freedom, for the right to elect our leaders, for freedom of movement, choice of residence, choice of what work to pursue – control of our lives, in short. And then we wake up in the morning and go to work, and all of those rights disappear. We no longer insist on them. And so for most of the day we return to feudalism. That is what capitalism is – a version of feudalism in which capital replaces land, and business leaders replace kings. But the hierarchy remains. And so we still hand over our lives’ labor, under duress, to feed rulers who do no real work.</em>” <em>(<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Mars-Trilogy-Stanley-Robinson/dp/0553573357" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">12</a>)</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Essentially, as an employee, you are a servant to your master. And that is what Capitalism is. Albeit, there are various degrees to the servitude but when we peel back the layers, capitalism is exposed. The layers of capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, and racism are ideas which often are not seen at the surface, but once pulled back, are exposed for what they represent.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-177" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/q5-e1556204065937.jpg" alt="q5" width="319" height="279" /></em>There is no real liberty in Capitalism, so let us stop pretending that the capitalists stand for liberty. Support of homosexual marriage or drug legalization, pales in comparison to the support of the neoliberal policies of Capitalism.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If a society has hierarchy, domination, and exploitation, then that is not Liberty. Liberty is the exact opposite: horizontality and equality, that is what Libertarian Socialism is about.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">To conclusion, liberty for me as a socialist is about empathy, inclusion, equality and solidarity. The idea of Liberty in the U.S. has been hijacked by the right, over the course of the past 50+ years; however, this is our opportunity to take it back. In the era of Trumpism, I want to see dignity. In a time of inequality, I want to see hope for the poor and the down-ridden. In times of war profiting, may there be an urgency for peace. Let us remove the bigoted barriers of movement. Let us open our hearts and minds and may empathy win.</p>

<h3>Libertarian Socialist Caucus of the Libertarian Party:<br />
Statement of Principles</h3>
<p>We, the members of the Libertarian Socialist Caucus of the Libertarian Party, join our voices with libertarians everywhere to resist the authoritarian state and its politically privileged, ruling class. We hold that every human being on this planet deserves respect for their autonomous choice to live a life that is fully self-determined, and reject the idea that coercive systems of domination have any place in the lives of a voluntary, open society of equals.</p>
<p>We emphatically reject that exploitation, oppression, and hierarchies of domination are voluntary or without aggression, and in seeking the radical goal of complete and equal liberty – the full autonomy and self determination of all people, we hold that hierarchies must neither exploit nor dominate other human beings. As libertarian socialists, we envision society as universalized mutuality, and as maximal, consensually-sustained social experimentation. We concur that “imposed communism would be the most detestable tyranny that the human mind could conceive, and free and voluntary communism is ironical if one has not the right and the possibility to live in a different regime, collectivist, mutualist, individualist – as one wishes, always on condition that there is no oppression or exploitation of others.” As such we reject all state secured privileges and monopolies, all totalizing visions, and all imposed, absentee, hierarchical, central planning by the state, state capitalism, and its politically connected ruling class of politicians, lobbyists, bureaucrats, bankers, corporations, CEOs, and their violent enforcers, of our lives, the economy, and the means to human flourishing and productivity.</p>
<p>In its place we seek radical decentralization of the economy, and the complete flourishing of freely associated, directly accountable relationships and institutions that maximize individual autonomy, and full control by individuals over their own lives and over the things which directly affect them. Libertarian socialists will often support a diversity of voluntary mutual associations such as worker managed coops, mutual banks, informal peer to peer networks, artisan self employment, non exploitative markets, barter, communes, and gift economies. We reject attempts to do away with the violent state’s “crutches” for the most marginalized and at-risk among us, while still maintaining its “teeth”, and we seek abolition now of its most violent and oppressive elements. We ask the coercive state and its ruling class to stand down and allow for people to, in mutuality and solidarity, take direct action to improve their own lives and the lives of their neighbors, for “we do not wish to liberate the people, we wish for the people to liberate themselves”.</p>
<p>We, the members of the Libertarian Socialist Caucus of the Libertarian Party, join our voices with libertarians everywhere to resist the authoritarian state and its politically privileged, ruling class. We hold that every human being on this planet deserves respect for their autonomous choice to live a life that is fully self-determined, and reject the idea that coercive systems of domination have any place in the lives of a voluntary, open society of equals.</p>
<p>We emphatically reject that exploitation, oppression, and hierarchies of domination are voluntary or without aggression, and in seeking the radical goal of complete and equal liberty – the full autonomy and self determination of all people, we hold that hierarchies must neither exploit nor dominate other human beings. As libertarian socialists, we envision society as universalized mutuality, and as maximal, consensually-sustained social experimentation. We concur that “imposed communism would be the most detestable tyranny that the human mind could conceive, and free and voluntary communism is ironical if one has not the right and the possibility to live in a different regime, collectivist, mutualist, individualist – as one wishes, always on condition that there is no oppression or exploitation of others.” As such we reject all state secured privileges and monopolies, all totalizing visions, and all imposed, absentee, hierarchical, central planning by the state, state capitalism, and its politically connected ruling class of politicians, lobbyists, bureaucrats, bankers, corporations, CEOs, and their violent enforcers, of our lives, the economy, and the means to human flourishing and productivity.</p>
<p>In its place we seek radical decentralization of the economy, and the complete flourishing of freely associated, directly accountable relationships and institutions that maximize individual autonomy, and full control by individuals over their own lives and over the things which directly affect them. Libertarian socialists will often support a diversity of voluntary mutual associations such as worker managed coops, mutual banks, informal peer to peer networks, artisan self employment, non exploitative markets, barter, communes, and gift economies. We reject attempts to do away with the violent state’s “crutches” for the most marginalized and at-risk among us, while still maintaining its “teeth”, and we seek abolition now of its most violent and oppressive elements. We ask the coercive state and its ruling class to stand down and allow for people to, in mutuality and solidarity, take direct action to improve their own lives and the lives of their neighbors, for “we do not wish to liberate the people, we wish for the people to liberate themselves”.</p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;">The Heart of Libertarianism is a Love for Your Neighbor and for Justice<br />
<em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/ryan-lindsey/">Ryan Lindsey</a></em></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Our core beliefs and convictions should translate into a worldview, and (if you feel inclined to be civically engaged) that worldview should mold and shape your ideology. Too often though, it’s the other way around – our political ideologies shape our sense of morality and personal philosophies. This has certainly been the case for me at times in my life, and is still a bad habit that is easy to get sucked into.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Maybe it’s the visceral nature of modern politics, the desire to fit in with our families and friends, or the inherent hesitation most of us share to admit when we’re wrong. For whatever reason though, nothing good comes from adhering to any political ideology that you have not arrived at as a result of a thought-out and considerate worldview. Once we begin doing that, a tribal, us-vs-them mindset is inevitable. No matter our good intentions, once tribalism takes hold we begin simply trying to rack up points – what we accomplish is irrelevant so long as “we” win and “they” lose. We trade important ideological achievements for small, technical team victories (and let me tell you, when it comes to victories, libertarians don’t have much to brag about).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For me to properly and fully explain the ins-and-outs of the particular brand of libertarianism I subscribe to, I believe I should first explain my worldview – after all, that’s where my ideology comes from. Maybe some of what I say will be relatable for you, but maybe none of it will. Everyone’s journey to the libertarian ideology (or whatever other ideology you practice) is different. If nothing else though, I hope that you will reflect on your own ideology and (if needed) reevaluate how you got to this point.</p>
<h2>Early Beliefs</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Like the majority of libertarians, I was not raised in a household that was in any way libertarian. Born and raised in Southwest Missouri during the 90s and early 2000s, I was surrounded by Republican partisanship and Americanized, fundamentalist and Southern Baptist Christianity. Even as a kid, I listened to Rush Limbaugh on the radio and checked out every book his brother David wrote from the local library. There was always an American flag waving within sight (and I don’t believe that “always” is an exaggeration).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It was a great childhood – I really don’t think I could have asked for any better. But it’s undeniable that in many ways, my childhood was one of intentional and unintentional indoctrination to view conservatism as an ideology that was literally holy and anything “less” than conservatism was less than holy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As a result, I lived my life until young adulthood believing in the goodness of the wars on terror and drugs, strict immigration control, and legislating morality. I fully believed that the government had every right to determine our lives for us (though I never would have phrased it like that at the time).</p>
<h2>First Contact</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The first major shock to my statist worldview (again, like many libertarians) came from the former U.S. Congressman from Texas, Ron Paul. I followed the 2012 GOP presidential primary closely and was initially amused and increasingly angered by what Paul said during the debates. I couldn’t believe that someone who I viewed then as entirely unpatriotic could be taken seriously by anyone, let alone be let on a Republican debate stage.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-137 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/ryan_quote_1-e1555076909549.png" alt="ryan_quote_1" width="352" height="212" />I began digging into Paul out of curiosity – I watched videos of his past speeches and ’08 debate appearances and I read articles he wrote. I was still fully in the conservative statist camp, but I had for the first time in my life began seriously looking at another sort of ideology.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">One of the many clips I stumbled across was the “Giuliani Moment”, an exchange from a 2008 debate between Rudy Giuliani and Paul over the motives of the 9/11 terrorists. In this exchange, Paul makes the bold claim that many terrorists hate America because the American military is always bombing and occupying their Middle Eastern and African countries. Giuliani explodes at Paul, saying the claim is absurd, but Paul – rather than backing down – doubled down on his claim that actions have consequences, and encouraged the debate viewers to imagine how they would feel if another country did to America what America does to other countries.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Essentially, Paul was asking them (and me) to have some empathy, to apply the golden rule to foreign policy. In all honesty, at the time I did not value either empathy or the golden rule. Little did I know that all my values were about to be turned upside down.</p>
<h2>Finding Christ</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In the time period that I begin exposing myself to these initial ideas of a liberty-centered ideology and a worldview built on empathy, I was also going through several other identity transformations, the most meaningful of which involved my faith.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-138" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/ryan_quote_2-e1555078295919.png?w=193" alt="ryan_quote_2" width="193" height="391" />To shorten a long story, I had set out on a personal mission to eradicate Christianity from my life and ended up doing exactly the opposite – I definitely did come to believe many of the teachings I had been raised on as misguided at best, but in return I found something I could finally, truly believe in. I choose to accept Christ and to believe that He actually meant what He said.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Among many other things, this meant believing that when Jesus said “turn the other cheek”, He meant it; that when Jesus said “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”, He meant it; that when Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount, He meant every word he said. If you choose to look at the teachings of Jesus from this perspective, it’s clear that humans are meant to love each other, unconditionally. I’m not about to claim that this is something I do, but it is something I try to strive for (with varying degrees of success).</p>
<h2>Peacemakers</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When I came to view unconditional love as an important goal, I could no longer ever view violence in a positive light. Even when violence is used in defense, or in other ways generally accepted by the law and society, it’s still a tragedy. In my mind, I don’t see how I can love one someone unconditionally while at the same time using force against them, in an effort to harm them. I don’t believe that unconditional love and violence can coexist.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_136" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-136" style="width: 388px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-136 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/the_deserter.jpg" alt="The_Deserter" width="388" height="256" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-136" class="wp-caption-text">“The Deserter” BY Boardman Robinson. This cartoon from 1916 depicts Jesus Christ being executed by firing squad by soldiers from five different European nations, which were at war with each other at the time. I believe Robinson’s imagery reflects the true nature of not just war, but of all violence, as counter to Christ-like love.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p>For those reasons, my embrace of pacifism came soon after my acceptance of Jesus into my life. I want to be a “peacemaker”, like Jesus asked us all to be.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I don’t want to harm anyone, I don’t want to contribute to the harming of anyone – that’s not what I want my life to be used for. To me, this expands beyond simply physical harm, but mental and emotional harm too. Again, this is an aspiration I fail at constantly – physically I am not a violent person at all (though I admit, I’ve never been truly tested), but I do catch myself saying intentionally mean things, or getting unreasonably defensive. However, I still think it is an important aspiration to keep working towards; it’s something I truly believe.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Unfortunately, the violence that we regularly participate in is not always as obvious as physical violence or cruel words.</p>
<h2>The State is Violent</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">By the time I embraced pacifism I had already shed the majority of my conservative political positions and traded them for more progressive stances that I believed at the time to be more in line with the acts of love Jesus asks of Christians.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-139" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/ryan_quote_3-e1555078717169.png?w=314" alt="ryan_quote_3" width="314" height="206" />Just as I no longer supported physical violence on a personal level, I no longer supported it on government level either (or so I thought). I no longer supported D.C.’s wars, I was adamantly against the drug war and the prosecution of other “vice crimes” with no direct victims, and I became a staunch advocate for ending the death <span style="color:var(--color-neutral-600);">penalty.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">At the same time though, I also began believing in policies such as increasing taxes on the rich, breaking up large corporations, and expanding environmental regulations. (This shift in policy alignment again demonstrates the importance of making sure your ideology is backed by solid philosophy – even though I held a conservative ideology for most of my life, since it was an essentially hollow ideology, there was nothing inside me to halt my embrace of progressive economic ideas.)</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_135" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-135" style="width: 230px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-135" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/ericgarner-e1555079136941.jpg?w=230" alt="Police Chokehold Death" width="230" height="229" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-135" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Jason DeCrow (AP). Protesters rally in New York City on Dec. 5, 2014 against the grand jury’s decision to not indict Daniel Pantaleo, the NYPD officer who murdered Eric Garner for selling untaxed cigarettes.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I didn’t embrace progressivism out of a desire to control people’s lives or to grow the government – I had (as I still believe most progressives do) the best of intentions. I just wanted to help people, and I thought that government institutions, bureaucracy, and taxation/regulation were the best tools to do that. I still held private charities in high regard, but they seemed to be a far less efficient and powerful force than the government for positive change (and in many ways, I still believe that – unfortunately, charity in America is a somewhat atrophied muscle).</p>
<p>I had to reevaluate my progressive belief system when Eric Garner was brutally murdered.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">He was a man – a black man, whom the social justice warrior in me claimed to care so much about – who was robbed, beaten, choked, and killed by agents of the state, the police. And for what? For the crime of not paying taxes to the state. While it didn’t happen instantaneously in my mind, the tragic murder of Eric Garner started me on the path that eventually led to my realization of what a strong, expansive, government – the type of government I had wanted – brings about: inevitable violence.</p>
<h2>Anarchism</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Eric Garner wasn’t the only one hurt by government laws and policies I had urged on. The more I looked into how these laws and policies were enforced, the more disgusted I became. The sheer number of good people that were undeservingly hurt by law enforcement was appalling. It didn’t matter to me that I wasn’t the one directly committing the violence on these people – by advocating for expanded government, I was part of the cause of their hurt; the police and enforcers were just my all-to-willing, all-to-capable proxies.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This was a reckoning for me – how could I unhypocritically call myself a pacifist, someone unwilling to cause harm, while supporting policies that inevitably harmed people.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The answer was simple: I couldn’t.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">After having this revelation, I soon stumbled across Max Weber’s principle that all government authority is rooted in a monopoly on violence. This may seem like an overly-general statement, but I believe it’s true. Think about it: if governments were unable to use force or threats of force, would they even have a tiny fraction of the power they have now? I doubt it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-140 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/ryan_quote_4.png" alt="ryan_quote_4" width="337" height="237" />I have come to believe that all laws are ultimately backed up by violence. If you accept this premise, then you cannot in good conscience support laws that you would be unwilling to use violence yourself to enforce (after all, law enforcement are arguably just the proxies of the citizenry). In my case, as a pacifist, using violence for almost any reason is something I will not take part in, so I cannot in good conscience support the actions of the state that are dependent on violence.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I long for a world free of violence, of force, of aggression. I’m tired of individuals (myself included) abusing each other directly, and I’m tired of people using institutions to abuse each other. Wanting a world free of these things means wanting a world free of the state as we know it. It means being an anarchist.</p>
<h2>More than the NAP</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There is a axiom common in libertarian circles called the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP). This is an incredibly simple concept: aggression is wrong, so it is never moral to initiate violence or force. I believe that in general this is something most rational people can agree to.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(Many libertarians have taken this concept a step further; as I’ve already explained, pacifists reject all violence, not just the initiation of violence. We have a NVP (Non-Violence Principle)).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-141 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/ryan_quote_5.png" alt="ryan_quote_5" width="399" height="215" />Neither the NAP nor the NVP are enough though. Simply agreeing to not use force against each other does not a happy, civil society make (though it is a good start). Libertarians need to understand that not all coercion comes from the barrel of a gun and not all tyranny comes from the state. Far to often, libertarians (especially those with a bend to the right) are willing to accept actions that are morally-questionable at best under the guise of “supporting free markets”, or “individual rights”. Unfortunately, our ardent defense of “individual rights” often leads us to forgetting about what is morally right.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Humanity must take on practices and actions that degrade and diminish anyone. Paying an illegal immigrant $5 an hour might technically be a “voluntary transaction”, but it’s not right. Denying health care to impoverished people may be an “individual right”, but it’s certainly not morally right. Non-aggression and non-violence aren’t enough. Libertarians (and all people of goodwill) need to embrace and practice a principle of non-exploitation.</p>
<h2>Pragmatism Works</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now, just because I’m an anarchist doesn’t mean I’m delusional. I’m fully aware that the state is not going away anytime even remotely soon, and probably it never will. I’m fully aware that politics and political action are important parts of the modern world and good can come from them (sometimes, at least).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I’m not one to ever view political action or accomplishments as grand, great goods. It seems to me that even the best political actions are often little more than damage control measures, rectifying to some extent the previous sins of the state. Fortunately though, that “damage control” can sometimes make the lives of literally millions of people better.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Take for example two of the most obvious libertarian wins of the past few decades: the legalization of marijuana and homosexuality. It’s honestly incredible how far these two issues have come in America. Through various state and federal legislative and referendum efforts, millions of people are now free to use and sell marijuana (in an admittedly limited capacity). In almost all legal/public areas of life, the government no longer discriminates against people simply for being homosexual, and they enjoy more personal liberties now that an any time before in America.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Of course, the tragic reality is that millions of Americans still remain imprisoned by cages or felony records due to marijuana, and the shameful treatment of LGBT people by the government (and society) still resonates today. Like I said, most of the progress made with this issues has been damage control to undo previous state injustices. That does not change the fact though, that these advancements were made through political actions and from within the framework of the state. To deny the good that can come from political action is bewildering to me.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_143" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-143" style="width: 5616px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-143" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/william_weld__gary_johnson_28299106572-e1555079478928.jpg" alt="William_Weld_&amp;_Gary_Johnson_(28299106572)" width="5616" height="2325" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-143" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Gage Skidmore (Wikimedia Commons). Former Governors Gary Johnson (NM) and Bill Weld (MA) made up the Libertarian Party’s presidential ticket in the 2016 election. This ticket was generally popular among the more pragmatic elements of the LP. In my opinion, even though this ticket had obvious weaknesses (Johnson’s lack of specifics and administrative planning, Weld’s frequent break from libertarian principles), it was the best presidential ticket any party has put forward in decades and these two set a great example of how libertarians can be politically-involved.</figcaption></figure></p>
<p>If libertarians want to make the world more free through political action, we must be pragmatic. Seeking grand, sweeping, immediate change at the political level is an absolute waste of time, money, and other resources. (Not to mention the fact that a quick and sweeping dismantling of the state would result in little but chaos, more bloodshed, and a reemergent, even larger state.) Change comes incrementally, and often slower than we would like. This is not to say that we should compromise our principles, but simply seek to accomplish as much as is possible and realistic.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>In Conclusion,</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I’m a Christian, so I’m a pacifist. Due to my pacifism, I’m an anarchist. As an anarchist, my only political option is to be a libertarian. Now, none of that is to say that Christianity, pacifism, or anarchism are necessary facets of libertarianism (though I would argue that some sort of serious anti-violence belief is an inevitable result of Christianity, and anarchism is a necessary part of pure pacifism). Those are just the philosophical elements that make up my worldview which led me to the political ideology of libertarianism.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-142 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/ryan_quote_6.png" alt="ryan_quote_6" width="449" height="235" />Likewise, it’s perfectly reasonable to have a pacifist or anarchist philosophy and not practice political action at all, libertarian or otherwise. (In fact, many anarchists make the claim that political action/participation is disqualifying from the label.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Like I said though, everyone’s journey to finding an ideology is different, and whatever your ideology is rarely determines whether you are a good, moral person or not (something else we could all stand to remember a bit more). Personally, I won’t abide by any ideology incompatible with love, peace, and human progress. What about you?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;">A Libertarian Journey and Political Autobiography<br />
<em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/dale-melchin/">Dale Melchin</a></em></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">My journey into libertarian thinking has been a path fraught with peril, full of twists and turns, hills, mountains, valleys and the like. While it was never anything physically threatening, my journey has been an important part of the larger adventure that is my life.</p>
<h2>We’ll go back, way back…</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The first time I was in anyway politically cognizant of anything was in the 3rd or 4th Grade. I remember being in a debate with one of my classmates on the merits of George H. W. Bush vs Bill Clinton. We were tasked with coming up with political posters – I don’t rem-ember what my would-be opponent had on his poster, but I remember writing the following on mine: <em>Vote Clinton: A bigger, brighter, more jobs future!</em></p>
<p><figure id="attachment_122" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-122" style="width: 356px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-122 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/minsk_tractor_works_-_main_assembly_line_open_day_2017_2.jpg" alt="Minsk_Tractor_Works_-_Main_Assembly_Line_(Open_Day_2017)_2.jpg" width="356" height="267" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-122" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Uladzimir Minsk (Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p>Looking back on it, the poster had a Trumpian style to it; blame it on my original parents (I’ll explain that term later on). My dad was a union shop rat and my mom was a nurse’s aide. I didn’t get along well with them, especially my dad. (I’ll refer to them by their first names henceforth as Tom and Shannon). I don’t remember the institutions that Shannon worked for, but Tom worked for Case IH and the time leading up to President Clinton’s first term paralleled with the reactivation of the local Case Plant in East Moline, IL. I believe when this happened that Tom was either getting ready to go back to that job, dodging responsibility and on unemployment, or working for a small business where he was about to get fired because he didn’t get along with the owner or a supervisor of his. I can’t remember which it was.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Needless to say, he was a Democrat who felt entitled. At this time, I was probably a bit touched with that poison. I didn’t understand the why behind that philosophy. I went to a public school where when I wasn’t learning math or being asked to take drugs for “hyperactivity” I was learning about nonsensical left-wing philosophy being put into our brains by means of the Weekly Reader in our Social Studies class. Nevertheless, I went on.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I was taught that business and business owners were bad and that somehow we were being exploited, and that we weren’t responsible for the st-ate we were in. “They” were responsible, and if we could just get the government to do more and make them give us more we would be better off. That’s at least how I was understanding things.</p>
<h2>Now, let’s zoom around</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">the STAR Labs particle accelerator and open a time portal and travel forward four years to 7th Grade (that’s a reference to <em>The Flash</em> TV show, by the way). I was still listening to the same nonsense put into my head by my school teachers as well as my parents. However, a new way of thinking was starting to emerge.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I had gotten into a political debate with my best friend Jonathan and lost. I couldn’t answer his questions about my views. He and his family who I had become friends with were dreaded Republicans; the enemy, or so I thought. Even though his folks were more successful (his father was an accountant at John Deere and his mother was the leader of a very successful nonprofit to do with horse therapy), they were good, decent people.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On top of that, they were Christians. This family was also responsible for my encounter with Jesus Christ at a camp that was affiliated with their church. While I wish I could go more into that story, I bring it up now because it is relevant. After I embraced the Christian faith (as I knew it at the time), I also embraced what I thought was the right way of political thinking: Republican Conservatism. It’s kind of a joke to me now because many conservative Christians feel that Jesus would be a Republican, even though that’s now the furthest thing from the truth – but I digress.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">With my newly reaffirmed faith, I encountered the arguments in favor of hard work and, God blessing that, the Constitution, markets, and, most importantly, the sanctity of human life. Or so I thought.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I mention this because the family I eventually fell in with, the one that I now identify with as mine, helped to solidify my thinking on these topics. Ray (the man that I call dad), while quirky, helped me learn to ask questions and think critically and help me install a Christian, but still critical, filter around my to help me sort the truth from nonsense. I learned arguments, a functional (not theoretical) way of how logic works, and most importantly how to have a critical mind. However, this put me on that path to being a strong and firey fundamentalist Christian and a Neo-Conservative.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-123" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/liberty_university_-_panoramio-e1555011424828.jpg" alt="Liberty_University_-_panoramio" width="3169" height="1100" /></p>
<h2>Fast-forward again to</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Liberty University. I eventually became a Calvinist and fell in with the Christian Reconstruction/Theonomy/Dominionist crowd. This was mainly through books. I also began to look at the U.S. Constitution more heavily and began to believe and think that we were a country of Christian origin; that the only mistake The Founding Fathers made was that they did not explicitly incorporate the Constitution in the name of Jesus Christ. But, as you can probably guess, I wanted the Constitution and the Ten Commandments to be the law of the land, along with aspects of civil laws of the Judicial Republic and Kingdom of Israel. You can guess what that meant for aspects of my views of others and their lifestyles.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now, I ask that you do not stop at this point. These beliefs began to be a problem for me because my views at this time were beginning to isolate me from others. There weren’t many Christians in my area that adhered to this point of view – even the Calvinists that were around me thought I was nuts. Democrats hated me and Republicans thought I was hilarious since I wasn’t afraid to hurt feelings, but they often didn’t really agree with me either. I was more or less a small boat in an ocean.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-125" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/capture2-1-e1555012607526.png?w=343" alt="Capture2" width="343" height="112" />And yet for all of the conflicts I was getting into because I believed my view was internally-consistent and all these “morons” couldn’t see the truth, I was getting more and more isolated, and eventually it hit me hard. Nothing was working for me in the other aspects of my life, and it was my fault. I believed all the right things, but I wasn’t succeeding. I was too much in my own head and I needed action, and most importantly, I needed Faith. Not in myself, nor in politics, but in the Ancient Faith of Orthodox Christianity.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Now, this isn’t going to be a journey into that segment of my life specifically. There is a lot of “intersectionality” in my story, and I’m telling you, reader, all of this so you get the rich tapestry of a life lived.</p>
<h2>I had put down the politics</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">and spent several years studying martial arts, reading my Bible and other books, and going through a failed engagement. This all had pushed me to the point where I laid politics down and embraced the fullness of the Faith. I decided to give mys-elf the grace to try – even if it was done poorly – to try to embrace people. To look at them as beings of intrinsic worth that Christ wanted to save, and not as “morons”. To look at life from the perspective that we are all on a journey.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-124 alignright" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/2000px-cross_of_the_russian_orthodox_church_01.svg_-300x533.png" alt="2000px-Cross_of_the_Russian_Orthodox_Church_01.svg_-300x533" width="245" height="435" />Eventually I met my wife and for the most part we were apolitical-conservatives. We would talk about the ideas, but we found a diversity of thought in Christian Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy is trans-ethnic and cuts across several countries. The main thing that unites Orthodox Christians is the Sacraments. Despite political differences, we all had the one thing that united us and we were all the better for it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">My journey into Orthodoxy lead me to try to relax, to think, to contemplate, to meditate, and to try to free myself from the attachments, as much as I could that trouble us so much. I relished, embraced, and studied Orthodoxy. It was a much needed break and detergent from the madness of the world. It helped me get my head on straight. It helped free me fr-om the constant changing, shifting, and arguments of We-stern Christianity that happened daily and could last for years. Orthodoxy did this for me because it is rooted in the history of the ancient apostolic teaching. So many of the issues that were trends in other strains of Christianity were resolved within Orthodoxy. And my mind was much less stressed from it. That rest caused me to free my mind to pursue things like my painting business and other jobs and finally learn more about myself.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:justify;">Eventually, I rejoined</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">the political journey again in 2012-13. (There would be several changes in my life that I would get into, but they are not relevant here, save for what will be mentioned shortly.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">While certain aspects of my life were in a controlled disarray, I knew the only way I could get them under control was to get the rest of my worldview in order. So I did a survey of most (if not all) of the political ideologies that I could find on Wikipedia. This included the really evil ideologies, as well as republicanism and liberal democracy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Needless to say, they were all found wanting. None of them resonated with me, except for the one; I kept coming back to libertarianism (lowercase l). But I just couldn’t trust it. However, providentially, little things nudged me toward it – the character of Ron Swanson for one. I know he was int-ended to be a parody, but I found his demeanor, stoicism and desire for independence and excellence inspiring. And so I embraced it.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I cultivated aspects of stoicism and began delve more deeply into aspects of libertarian philosophy, which I believed the Constitution was a part of at the time as well as aspects of market capitalism. Then one thing sealed the deal for me.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I was working in the E-Bay department of a resale shop with an individual who believed that all business was evil. When I revealed my leanings to them, almost every day at work involved an argument. When I realized the ineffectual nature of their worldview and how they centered everything around the evils of business, I knew I had come home to libertarianism (lowercase l). When my coworker railed against speech, I embraced freedom of speech. When they railed against guns, I wanted to own one.</p>
<h2>My philosophy was one</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">of independence, rebellion, grit, and most importantly, responsibility. I haven’t read all of the great books yet, but I have read the Constitution multiple times (I don’t have it memorized yet). It doesn’t authorize anyone to do the nonsense that our country is currently involved in and it doesn’t compel us to interfere with others unless property is damaged or lives are at risk from aggression – we have the right to defend ourselves and be safe and speak our minds.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-126 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/capture-e1555012810120.png" alt="Capture" width="622" height="150" />This is how I knew I was home. Liberty feels right. It even feels good. It requires work and action of us to bring our lives into line with rationality and peace. While I would change aspects of how I handled relationships with others, giving them the space to be themselves and not impugn bad motives despite the fact that what they think might lead to evil. I would still give them the freedom to be wrong-headed, but still engage assertively, logically, and peacefully.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">By the Grace of God, Liberty is my home.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;">My Journey to Liberty<br />
<em>By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/hodey-johns/">Hodey Johns</a></em></h3>
<h2>How It Began</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I still remember the feeling I had standing outside of the capital of Denver amidst a sea of people. I was struck by the profound wit of some of the signs that called for low (no) taxation and smaller government. I clapped with those surrounding me as speakers called for getting out of foreign wars. I cheered as, for the first time in my young life, members of the LGBTQ community shook hands with conservatives. It was a feeling of unity.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This was the Tea Party. This was freedom. This was 2009. And this, I convinced myself, was the beginning of what the Republican Party was always supposed to be.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Denver was only one of thousands of rally sites around the nation. And I truly felt the presence of the souls who marched from Washington State to Washington DC beside me. It was a philosophical movement, to be sure, but a spiritual element was undeniable.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_102" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-102" style="width: 444px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-102 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/tea_party_photo_509_3462030625.jpg" alt="Tea_Party_photo_(509)_(3462030625)" width="444" height="333" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-102" class="wp-caption-text">Thousands of Tea Party activists gather in Denver on April 14, 2009 for a Tax Day protest.

<p style="text-align:justify;">More than a simple feeling; we were united in message and purpose. Pundits from both the far left and far right offered huge sums of money to find a bigoted or xenophobic sign at the rallies; they never did find a single one. Videos surfaced of operatives from the Democratic Party attempting to sneak racist signs in only to be recorded and booted before they got close. It wasn’t because we had strong security, quite the opposite, we didn’t have any at most of these events. It was because we, as Republicans, were finally free to condemn bigots with a fervor that we’d been forced to contain for generations. We weren’t simply allowing outcasts to join our ranks; we flung the doors open for them.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Gone were the excuses we’d try to find for why the debt kept going up while the GOP was in charge. Gone were the days when we’d have to try to find some convoluted response for why we tried to stop gays from getting married. Gone was the old party of stoic rituals and contradictions. This was a fresh look on small government. Millions of people joined arms in condemning both George W. Bush and Barack Obama as economic illiterates, warmongers, and hypocrites. We had transcended party lines.</p>
<h2>A Lucky Break</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">One year before this, the newspapers loudly declared that this was the death of the Republican Party. Barack Obama’s wild popularity crushed John McCain. McCain, of course, represented everything the Republican Party had always been. As a Senator of the GOP, he was slightly less bad on economy than the Democrats, kept his mouth shut on social issues, and supported war every chance he got. Obama, on the other hand, represented something new for America. He talked about ending all wars and occupations, creating a Google for Government to track every taxpayer dollar, and maintained the liberal goals of treating immigrants and homosexuals with equal love and respect.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It was hard to deny. If the Democrats became fiscally responsible, saved countless lives overseas, and kept their mantra of equality, what good were the Republicans at all? I had worked for George W. Bush against John Kerry, but after four more years of failing expectations, I stepped back and curiously hoped Obama would do what the Republicans never did; fix the economy. And if he did it all while preaching tolerance, then all the better. I knew McCain wasn’t going to deliver those things.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But in 2009, the Republicans got a second life. Obama had showed himself to be a complete liar. He was starting wars instead of ending them. By the end of his eight years in office, he would have lost American lives in wars with eight different countries. He redefined war as “kinetic military action” in order to avoid congressional approval (even his own Secretary of Defense said there was no difference). He did the opposite of creating Google for Government; his administration actively covered up how money was being spent. And then he turned it into Google for Citizens; abusing the Patriot Act and spying on political opponents and their families. He had begun to issue executive orders to hide abuses by his administration. In the cases of the Mexican cartels and overseas embassies, these orders suppressed investigations into the murders of Americans. And healthcare, his first order of business, was being bought with special interests, big insurance companies, and obvious bribes to politicians. In truly Nixon-esque moves, within the bill, he sent money to districts that didn’t exist, private accounts owned by donors, and crony committees that he owed favors to.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In only one year in, Obama was one of the most corrupt politicians of all time and everybody knew it. Instead of being different, he was simply a large dose of the same awful thing Americans had dealt with for centuries. And while it was terrible for Americans, for Republicans, this was our lucky break. Their colossal failure was our opportunity.</p>
<h2>Preparing to Strike</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As Republicans, we began to regroup. Obama could have destroyed us and instead he gave us new life. Activists across the country, including myself, began to excitedly prepare for the future. In one year, we’d have some midterm elections. In three years, we’d be able to take back the White House. How could we lose? The president had broken every promise he made to both his base and his opponents. All we needed to do was seize the chance that we’d fouled up with McCain and Bush.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And I wasn’t alone in this line of thinking. As I began to excitedly fire up lines to old friends that had been dormant for a while time, we came to similar conclusions, “Let’s give them somebody that is actually for small government”, “Let’s completely reform the tax code”, “Let’s give them somebody that is serious about treating LGBTQ and minorities as brothers and sisters instead of outcasts.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-103 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/quote_1.png" alt="quote_1" width="371" height="663" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/quote_1.png 371w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/quote_1-168x300.png 168w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px" />I speak about this as though it were my revolution because it felt that way. It felt like America had caught wind of my scheme and embraced it. Suddenly, parades and carnivals established a stake in the hearts of states both rural and urban. City folks and country folks came together under this banner. Perhaps most excitingly, for me, was seeing gay friends of mine, who were forced to choose between a party that forbid them to practice love and a party that forbid them from being economically literate, be welcomed into our fold. They were even more eager to accept out invitations than we were to give them!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And as we stood outside the capital building, there were no closets. There were no identity politics. Indeed, we all had our identities, everyone in the crowd was a character. In my mind, I still see a janitor with a furry mustache, the words, “Taxation is Theft” on a rainbow flag, and a group of rodeo clowns in full getup all chanting for transparent, accountable, and responsible government. But the thread that connected us all, that vision of promise, was the same.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For those who weren’t a part of it, you really did miss out. You could have hugged anyone in the group and they’d have hugged you back. The speakers made us smile and laugh instead of stirring up anger and hatred. This happened ten years ago and it’s easy to forget that, at one time, the Republicans had the chance to be the ones with the cool young kids that had bright futures.</p>
<h2>Shattered Dreams</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I need to issue a spoiler alert for those who haven’t finished all of their 14th Century Italian Literature classes yet. In <em>Dante’s Inferno</em>, the final circle of hell features Cassius, Brutus, and Judas being chewed up by Satan himself. In Dante’s mind, treachery was the worst thing a human being can do. After 2010, I agreed with him.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For the next two elections, we, the excited, energized base of the Republican Party, eager to come through on our contention for small government and inclusiveness, put forward candidates that represented the American promise. And for the next two elections, we were defeated. But not by Democrats.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">By Republicans.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">How does a Republican lose to a Republican at the voting booth? That’s a great question. That’s not where we lost. We lost before we even got there.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_106" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-106" style="width: 412px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone  wp-image-106" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/rp-and-rp-e1555000673493.jpg" alt="Texas Governor Perry talks during a break with  Rep. Ron Paul on stage at the Reagan Centennial GOP presidential primary debate in Simi Valley" width="412" height="293" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-106" class="wp-caption-text">Texas Congressman Ron Paul (right) was a staunch small-government advocate and Tea Party/libertarian favorite during the 2008 and 2012 GOP primaries. His candidacy offered a stark contrast to President Obama, but both his runs were hindered by multiple factors (including RNC interference). (Photo from the AP.)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">My experience was the same as those of my friends in other states and counties. We’d find a person with a great message, a lot of support, and a passion for servitude. Another Republican who was classically anti-gay and big government would then show up. We’d get all of our papers and signatures together and prepare to win on the debate stage against this outdated hack with our superior message. That day rarely came.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The RNC (Republican National Committee) would challenge the signatures of the “Tea Party” Candidate who, I’ll remind the reader, was a fellow Republican. Seeing this, we’d collect so many signatures so that they couldn’t overturn them. But that didn’t deter them; they actually took the candidate in my county off of the ballot because the judge took too long reviewing the number of signatures we gave him and couldn’t validate each one in time. The big government candidate never got challenged. In very rare instances, a few of my friends survived this step and then quickly died in the primary because the RNC would then dump vast sums of money from Super PACs to crush us.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Democrats never had to deal with any of this, it was Republicans and Republicans alone that squashed our movement.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">We were well prepared for a war against those who hated our message. We didn’t expect to have our soldiers struck down by those who pretended to embrace it.</p>
<h2>The Fallout</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">History issued no surprises. The Democrats won those next two elections in spite of Obama’s horrific record. As we had already proved with McCain, being a little bit less corrupt or a little bit less bad on economy was not good enough. It can easily be argued that the Republican candidates might even be more inept, but even they never got the chance because they predictably lost. Maybe it should have given me comfort to see those who betrayed us lose, but it didn’t. The Republicans spent billions of dollars to make sure nobody with the message of liberty saw the light of day. At first, I thought they just got what they deserved. I thought they made a miscalculation. They thought their guys with the old ideas had a better chance of winning and so they put them forward ahead of us with new ideas.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-104 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/quote_2.png" alt="quote_2" width="310" height="367" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/quote_2.png 492w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/quote_2-254x300.png 254w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It wasn’t until years after that when my friends began to uncover the truth. The RNC lost on purpose. You see, we, the Tea Party, would have won with our candidates. Which would have meant less money for government, less power for politics, and that would have included the RNC itself. The Democrats winning those elections were better for the Republican establishment than small government Republicans winning. The RNC knew it and outplayed us. Maybe we should have seen it coming, but we didn’t.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This ripped the soul out of the movement. Today, most of those gay friends of mine have gone back to being Democrats. I wince to think of what happened to the others at those parades. That spirit we had is long gone. The flame has died out. I hate that the politicians in the capital saw our movement as just a few months of inconvenient foot traffic. Worse, I hate that the media made it sound like the concept of liberty was not popular. It wasn’t true. Not viable, maybe, but that’s due to a rigged system and not public demand.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_105" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-105" style="width: 3888px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-105" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/marching_towards_the_capital_-_september_15_2007.jpg" alt="Marching_towards_the_Capital_-_September_15,_2007" width="3888" height="2591" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-105" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Sage Ross (Wikimedia Commons)</figcaption></figure></p>
<h2>The Fallout</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And so begins the story of Hodey Johns as people know him today. You see, unlike the others, while the revolution died, the revolutionary inside of me could not die. I found myself unable to go back to the days of marginalizing the LGBTQ community. I was unable to fake it. I got into voting booths and could no longer check the box next to the guy who was only a little less evil. My finger couldn’t push the button. I was no longer linked to those around the nation but my chains were broken. I could no longer pretend to be a slave.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The best analogy I have is that it is like drinking dirty water for a long time, then clean water for a few months, then asked to drink dirty water for the rest of my life. I couldn’t do it. I refused.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Unlike most of my group of friends, I demanded clean water. I demanded a clean message. I was done with the days of looking at politics and trying to determine which scandals were worse, which positions were more enslaving, which path meant less debt to pass onto our children. I was fine with debate, but, if I would debate, I could only stomach a debate between maximum goods and not minimum evils.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Shortly after Romney’s laughable challenge against Obama, I heard my step-dad saying he voted for the Libertarian candidate. I still remember that feeling of sheer jealousy inside of me. I wanted to make that my vote. I wanted to be able to wash my hands of the whole thing and vote with a clean conscience. And I began to do just that. Between politics and media, I’ve slowly been trying to rekindle what I’ve lost. Slowly, the friends that I made before are making their way to the liberty movement. I hold onto that fire in my heart that I once had, that a rainbow flag with the words “Taxation is Theft” will once again rise outside of my state capital to the sound of thunderous applause. For now, I will settle for less. During my last family reunion, all but two of the thirty plus people that showed up said they were libertarians. And I felt that spark again.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">It is with that spirit that I persist today. I pride myself on being the most inclusive libertarian alive. The reason is deeply personal. If you’d be-en there that day and hugged that guy in a business suit taking his lunch break or high-fived the girl selling t-shirts with a snake on them, you’d understand. Some might say “it takes all kinds.” In truth, to get back what has been lost, it needs all kinds. And I won’t stop until we have all kinds.</p>

<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/123" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/123</a></p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts.  In the shocker of a lifetime, Chase Peyton has returned for an episode! 10 weeks into two jobs, he found time to grace us with his presence. </p>
<p>Our featured guest is Dr Eric Schansberg, author and professor of Economics at Indiana University. With a broad background in public policy and a history as a political candidate, he is a perfect guest for the program.</p>
<p>Tonight we talked about the theory of Universal Basic Income or as Andrew Yang calls it, the “Freedom Dividend”. A fascinating conversation about how we could see the next 100 years of public policy play out.</p>
<p>In other news, Jeremiah is back from California, the Bears drafted a running back, Dakota struggles with words, and the guys are questioning the need for a non existent primary election to be a city holiday.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;">An introduction to WAL Reader, Issue I.<em><br />
By <a href="https://walreader.com/category/ryan-lindsey/">Ryan Lindsey</a></em></h3>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“Whatever you think may be of value to your community, to the libertarian community – use my platform to do it… the more people that participate in We Are Libertarians, the more value they get out of it.”</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So said Chris Spangle when he laid out the goals of We Are Libertarians for 2019. In an effort to maximize the value of the organization he founded (and to make deplatforming We Are Libertarians (WAL) more difficult via proliferation of creative and distributive efforts), Spangle presented an open invitation to produce content under the well-known We Are Libertarians banner.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This is an incredibly gracious offer on Spangle’s part – the amount of time, money, and personal commitment he has put into building the WAL brand since founding the organization in 2012 has been tremendous. To let anyone with a desire to contribute to the political/social/cultural conversation essentially piggyback of off his years of work is a godsend to new content creators like myself.</p>
<h2>My Contribution</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I am writer by profession and hobby – naturally, when I heard this invitation to produce under the We Are Libertarians label, my first ideas for how I could contribute involved writing, and due to being a serious fan of journalistic magazines (I cannot recommend subscribing to <em>Reason</em> and <em>The Atlantic</em> enough) I gravitated towards the idea of a magazine format. And thus, the idea for the <em>WAL Reader</em> was born.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_92" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-92" style="width: 263px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-92 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/ryan.jpg" alt="ryan" width="263" height="350" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-92" class="wp-caption-text">I am thrilled that you are taking the time to read through this first issue of the <em>WAL Reader</em>. It has been a great deal of fun for me personally to create, and I hope you enjoy reading it at least somewhat as much as I enjoyed writing it. (Photo by Tina Lindsey)</figcaption></figure></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I’m excited to embark on this new project, and am looking forward to seeing it (hopefully) progress. Like Chris Spangle, I deeply believe that the world needs more reading – and not of clickbait news articles from your newsfeed.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">While I’m under no illusion that the writings in this magazine will be an adequate substitute for the great works of Goldman, Hayek, Spooner, etc., I do hope that they will make you think about events and issues with either a new i<span style="color:var(--color-neutral-600);">nformation or a different perspective (or maybe even both). Above all, I hope the </span><em style="color:var(--color-neutral-600);">WAL Reader</em><span style="color:var(--color-neutral-600);"> helps you to think more than many sources of news and talking heads do, and to help you think more empathetically. While doing this, I will always strive to ensure that the </span><em style="color:var(--color-neutral-600);">WAL Reader</em><span style="color:var(--color-neutral-600);"> stays aligned with the <a href="http://walreader.com/about-wal-reader/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ten key principles of We Are Libertarians</a> – I do not intend to disparage the brand that Chris Spangle and so many others have worked to establish as a premier source of content in the Libertarian community.</span></p>
<h2><em>WAL Reader</em>‘s Values</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I believe that the advancement of the human condition is a worthwhile and important goal – working to limit human suffering while respecting the inherent rights of all individuals is the entire point of my libertarian philosophy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-107 alignright" style="color:var(--color-neutral-600);" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/quote_1-1.png" alt="quote_1" width="357" height="81" />I am willing to embrace almost any-one and any idea that is also working towards this central aim (whether intentionally or not). It does not matter to me if you subscribe more to the teachings/ideologies of Bill Weld or Murray Rothbard, the Cato or Mises Institute, Milton or David Friedman – if you support bettering human life while also advancing liberty, you’re an ally of the <em>WAL Reader</em>. I am all for “big-tent” libertarianism, and this magazine will be as well.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If you do not consider yourself to be a part of the political or social movement centered around human progress and liberty, I believe that this magazine is still for you and has values you can appreciate. For those of you who identify as more progressive, I share with you a deep concern for justice, social and c<span style="color:var(--color-neutral-600);">riminal. For anyone who considers their self to be more of a conservative, I share with you a desire for social tranquility and fiscal prudence.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="  wp-image-108 aligncenter" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/quote_2-1.png" alt="quote_2" width="499" height="83" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I believe that most people want the same things I previously mentioned (human advancement and liberties). If you believe that too, there’s so<span style="color:var(--color-neutral-600);">mething here for you.</span></p>
<h2>The First Issue</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This issue of the <em>WAL Reader</em> is different that what I plan to do with future issues, largely due to the nature of this being the first issue. This first issue will be very introductory – hopefully this issue will give you an idea of what this magazine is about, what We Are Libertarians is, and what kind of content the <em>WAL Reader</em> will have.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-98 alignleft" src="https://walreader.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/cover-1.png" alt="cover" width="241" height="306" srcset="https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/cover-1.png 528w, https://wearelibertarians.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/cover-1-237x300.png 237w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When reading through this first issue, please keep in mind that I am brand new at this – I have never tried writing and publishing anything on my own before and it’s been years since I have written any sort of serious journalistic content.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">(That is not to say that I do not want feedback and criticism – I definitely do seeing as how I don’t know how I’ll improve this magazine without them. I fully expect there will be plenty of rough edges in this issue (and the next, and the next as well). All I ask is that while you find those imperfections, please don’t let them discourage you from reading the content, but rather look forward to the quality improving as I gain more experience and <a href="http://walreader.com/contact/">respond to feedback</a>.)</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I also feel obligated to tell you that I cannot promise when the second issue of <em>WAL Reader</em> will be available. While I would like to be able to guarantee a regular monthly release, the reality is that I cannot do that. This is a project for me to do when I am able to and one that I do not foresee making any monetary profit one, so unfortunately it cannot take the priority in my life that my full-time job and family do, and I do not want to sacrifice quality for quantity. I cannot promise you when the next issue will be available, just that there will be one. My gut feeling is that the next issue will be available in two to three months.</p>
<h2>Future Expectations</h2>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I have a lot of ideas for what <em>WAL Reader</em> can be in the future. Three of these ideas that am wholly committed to are as follows:</p>
<h4>1. Multiple Contributors in Each Issue</h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I think that I have valid opinions on many issues, but I’m sure that you all would benefit more from reading more voices than just mine in this magazine. Besides, the more voices contribute to this, the quicker content is accumulated, which means issues can be produced faster.</p>
<h4>2. Specific Focus for Each Issue</h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In future issues, I plan to revolve a majority of the articles around one central theme or issue. Of course, this means that the content will not always be especially timely, but it will be relevant and applicable in one way or another.</p>
<h4>3. Regular Release Schedule</h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Once I have released three to four is-sues, hopefully I will have a fairly clear idea of how long each issue will take to make. Once I have an idea of this, I’ll have a regular schedule for <em>WAL Reader</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Again, thank you very much for taking the time to look at this first issue – I truly appreciate it. I hope that you find this content both enjoyable to read and beneficial.</p>
<blockquote><p>“It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in the minds of men.”<br />
– Samuel Adams</p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey folks!  First off, I need to apologize… This week’s audio isn’t up to the standards that you’ve come to expect from The Brian Nichols Show.  For whatever reason, my computer decided to use the wrong mic setting while recording, which makes my commentary sound more tinny and distant than normal… but besides that, you’re all in for a treat, as this week, I am joined by Jose Nino to discuss common gun control myths and to discuss how the US should approach the tragedy in Venezuela. </p>
<p>Bio: In addition to authoring The 10 Myths of Gun Control, José Niño writes for Ammo.com, Big League Politics, Gunpowder Magazine, and the Mises Institute, some of the most pro-freedom outlets on the web.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 109 of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!</p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/122" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/122</a></p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts.  Fake farmer Kade Koger is the 3rd chair, he should be planting, but it is too moist outside…  Editor of The Courier Times, Travis Weik is the featured guest. </p>
<p>Game of Thrones has gripped the public…That got us thinking about how we watch tv now. Does anyone still have cable? Or do we just stream it all? And if so, do you pay for your own content (PRODUCER CHRIS).</p>
<p>Travis recently had an editorial on property taxes and how we fund local government. We went deep down the rabbit hole…Jeremiah wants a tax abatement for his pool, because he claims it drives tourism.</p>
<p>The final segment highlights the local city elections and it looks like a number of the incumbent candidates struggled to meet the deadlines…Still a developing story!</p>
<p>Kade polls the crowd on what we do if we win the lottery. Common theme – the show gets bigger and better.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        One of the great challenges to those paying for our health care today is determining who is high quality, who is truly expensive , and who is doing the right thing. Unfortunately, the payers in medicine are not the patients but third parties like Medicare. Since the person receiving the care is not directly paying for the service, administrators in an office have to make the determination of how to pay without experiencing the care and knowing whether the physician was providing the right care.<br />

<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts. Kade Koger is the 3rd chair. Physical and digital security expert Josh Gideon was here. We talk about his recent book, dealing with worship building security and risk assessments. This pivoted to the Notre Dame fire…Is Jeremiah a terrible person?</p>
<p>We talk about Julian Assange’s arrest; is he a hero or villain? The Nathaniel Hale of our time, or is he a treasonist worse than George Bluth?</p>
<p>Local issues include a potential of the City owning the old Castle Theatre. Local officials are not on the same page. Dakota has STRONG feelings. </p>
<p>Finally Jeremiah notes that it is road paving season and we don’t have a local option because of previous choices.</p>
<p>Kade polls the crowd on fighting off canadian geese. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not gonna lie… I hated math when growing up.  It was always the least favorite class that I took during school.  And truth be told, I’m sure there are hundreds, if not thousands of you out there who felt the exact same way.</p>
<p>JW Weatherman noticed that as well, and found that the main problem is that students aren’t actually “doing math”, but rather learning how to essentially fill out forms in the way they were instructed.  It was that realization that led to Weatherman creating Mathbot.com.</p>
<p>Mathbot.com is a fun, engaging way for both kids AND adults to learn math by learning how to code. To get started you don’t need to know how to read or add, but before you’re finished you’ll know how to calculate derivatives.</p>
<p>Say what???</p>
<p>Programming is simple. In fact, Mathbot only has four commands (step forward, turn right, pickup, and put down) so you’ll be crushing problems in under 3 minutes.  By using a robot to do all the work, you get all the joy of problem solving without any annoying or repetitive tasks.  And since you are able to focus on the big picture, you’ll learn faster too!  </p>
<p>Give today’s episode a listen and and please be sure to share with your family and friends who, like me, hated math as a kid.  </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        This week’s episode is a longer interview I did as a guest on the Gray Matters Radio Podcast with Mike DeVine. He had me appear in February as part of his series exploring the US health care system and its many dysfunctions. In this episode we explored the problems with the pricing system, group purchasing, economic scarcity, and why things are just so darn expensive. Of course they all get answered and wrapped into a nice little bow at the end of the interview.</p>

If you’re new to The Brian Nichols Show, be sure to check out last week’s episode along with the other 60+ episodes available for your listening pleasure!</p>
<p>This week, I am joined by Austin Jones!  Austin is the co-founder of Atlas Arms, a nonprofit research corporation focused on helping to empower the individual in terms of defending their life, liberty, and property.  Atlas Arms’ first concept in development is the Dagny Dagger project, which will develop a new type of legally-unrestricted handgun ammunition which is able to penetrate all soft armor and some rifle-rated hard armor, thus allowing citizens the first legal access to armor-penetrating ammunition since 1986.</p>
<p>Listen as Austin speaks to the founding of Atlas Arms and the Dagny Dagger project, discuss the importance of an armed populace, and how you can help in supporting Atlas Arms and their pro-Second Amendment mission. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the city of Pflugerville, just North of Austin Texas, there is a neighborhood where residents are throwing a bit more than just the odd shade. The serious concern at the heart of this dispute that threatens to hue the neighborhood in half?  The color of Emilio Rodriguez’s house. Emilio’s neighbors have filed suit against him because of his choice of a bright, eye-catching pink, claiming that his unusual choice has lowered the value of their homes. In doing so, they seek restitution for the lost value.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s a budget year in Indiana, which means the Indy Eleven are again making a pitch for a gleaming, expensive taxpayer-funded stadium. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The soccer team, which competes in the second-division United Soccer League, has been a fixture in Indy since 2014. Almost from the first whistle, the team has gone to the legislature with its hand out asking for public funding for a new stadium. Before the first game, the team asked for $80 million to fund a stadium. It was <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://fox59.com/2015/03/24/lawmakers-reject-idea-of-new-indy-eleven-stadium-back-20-million-renovation-to-carroll-stadium/" target="_blank">rejected by the state legislature, which countered with an offer of $20 million in renovations to its then-home, IUPUI’s Carroll Stadium. </a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So instead of scaling back its request, Eleven owner Ersal Odzemir has increased it almost eight-fold, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.ibj.com/articles/71996-indy-eleven-propose-550-million-development-that-includes-stadium" target="_blank">asking for $550 million to build a stadium and mixed-use development</a> at a yet-to-be-named location (although Broad Ripple High School was one potential offering). Apartments, retail space <g class="gr_ gr_48 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="48" data-gr-id="48">and</g> a hotel were among the ideas pushed forth for the site, but the centerpiece is the soccer stadium. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For comparison, the request is double the inflation-adjusted cost of Bankers Life Fieldhouse, and only slightly less than the $720 million price tag for Lucas Oil Stadium. A better comparison would be to look at the price of other minor-league facilities. Victory Field, where the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians play, opened in 1996. It cost $18 million to build ($30 million in today’s prices) and the Indians picked up half the cost. At 21 years of age, it remains a state-of-the-art ballpark that is considered one of the premier stadiums in minor league baseball. The Indiana Farmers Coliseum, whose interior was completely rebuilt from 2012-14, cost $63 million.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of those teams, the Colts and Pacers are established teams in established major leagues who bring national attention to the city. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Eleven are a second-division soccer team. While the team has fervent support among its fanbase, that alone is not a reason to hook the taxpayers of Central Indiana for a half-billion dollars. While an argument is made that a professional team induces economic activity, that’s been proven largely false over the years. One could argue a major league team like the Colts or Pacers increases civic pride and quality of life. However, minor league and second-division teams have very localized fan bases and provide inexpensive family entertainment and bring very little new money into a community. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Eleven’s support is on par with its minor league brethren in Indianapolis. Its annual attendance has hovered between 10,465 the first year and just a shade under 8,400 fans in 2016 and 2017 – its last two seasons at IUPUI’s Carroll Stadium. A move to Lucas Oil Stadium pushed attendance slightly back over 10,000. The market is similar to the attendance numbers from the Triple-A baseball Indianapolis Indians, who also <g class="gr_ gr_34 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling" id="34" data-gr-id="34">play</g> during the summer and average around 9,000 fans per game each year. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Eleven’s supporters speak of the stadium as being necessary for a potential move up to Major League Soccer, the top tier of soccer in the United States. But there are two problems with the argument. <br />First, MLS has not given Indianapolis a franchise. Even if so, a new stadium is not a necessity. Cincinnati recently received a franchise while playing in a college football stadium. And even if it does, something significantly less costly than a $550 million development would be more than adequate for the team. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Second of all, an MLS entry would not likely have that much of an <g class="gr_ gr_22 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" id="22" data-gr-id="22">affect</g> on attendance. Soccer fans are soccer fans and the market has already proven the existing demand is about 8-10,000 fans per game, which can be served by upgrading the existing infrastructure or building a scaled-down stadium. MLS isn’t the NFL or the NBA. Simply upgrading leagues likely won’t upgrade much except ticket prices. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Third of all, this is a local issue, but the Eleven’s ownership repeatedly asks the state for revenue. There is no more reason for legislators in Angola, Gary, Lawrenceburg or Evansville to vote to direct their tax money to provide entertainment to a small part of Central Indiana than there is for legislators in Indianapolis to build a stadium for minor league teams in those cities. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A soccer stadium would be a benefit to Indianapolis, both intrinsically and in diverting game-night revenue from other entertainment areas to the area of town where the stadium locates. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But if the Indy Eleven’s owner wishes to build one, he should do it with his own money. He IS a real estate developer after all. If it is a profitable venture and will provide the benefit he claims it will, the development will stand on its own and be viable. There’s no reason to require the taxpayers of Indiana to shoulder the cost and the risk.</p>

<p>Today, Nick joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss his venture into libertarianism, the beginning of his professional career, and his tenure at Reason.  Listen as we discuss the best means for libertarians to “bridge the gap” in regards to connecting the cultural aspects of libertarianism and the philosophy and political movement of libertarianism. </p>
<p><strong>Bio</strong>: Nick Gillespie is an editor at large at Reason, the libertarian magazine of “Free Minds and Free Markets.”</p>
<p>A two-time finalist for digital National Magazine Awards for his work on “UPS vs. FEDEX: Ultimate Whiteboard Mix” and the documentary series Reason Saves Cleveland with Drew Carey: How to Fix the Mistake on the Lake and Other Once-Great American Cities, Gillespie is co-author, with Matt Welch, of The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What’s Wrong With America (2011/2012).</p>
<p>“Nick Gillespie is to libertarianism what Lou Reed is to rock ‘n’ roll, the quintessence of its outlaw spirit,” writes Robert Draper in The New York Times Magazine. “For the past 20 years, Gillespie has been a writer, editor and intellectual godfather for Reason, the movement’s leading journal since its founding in 1968.” The Daily Beast named him one of “The Right’s Top 25 Journalists,” calling him “clear-headed, brainy…[and] among the foremost libertarians in America.” </p>
<p>Gillespie served as the editor in chief Reason.com and Reason TV from 2008 through 2017 and was Reason magazine’s editor in chief from 2000 to 2008. Under his direction, Reason won the 2005 Western Publications Association “Maggie” Award for Best Political Magazine. Gillespie originally joined Reason’s staff in 1993 as an assistant editor and ascended to the top slot in 2000. In 2004, Gillespie edited the book Choice: The Best of Reason, an anthology of the magazine’s best articles. The Washington Post featured Gillespie’s tenure at Reason magazine, asking, “Which monthly magazine editor argues that the spread of pornography is a victory for free expression? And that drugs from marijuana to heroin should not only be legalized, but using them occasionally is just fine? And is also quite comfortable with gay marriage? The answer is Nick Gillespie, libertarian and doctor of literature, who…is injecting [Reason magazine] with a pop-culture sensibility.”</p>
<p>Gillespie’s work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Post, Slate, Salon, Time.com, Marketplace, and numerous other publications. He has been a columnist for Time and The Daily Beast and he was a regular contributor to the late, lamented satire site, Suck, where he wrote under the name Mr. Mxyzptlk.</p>
<p>He is a frequent commentator on radio and television networks such as National Public Radio, CNBC, CNN, C-SPAN, Fox Business, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, and PBS. He has worked as a reporter for several New Jersey newspapers and as an editor at several Manhattan-based music, movie, and teen magazines. He is almost certainly the only journalist to have interviewed both Ozzy Osbourne and Nobel laureates in economics such as Milton Friedman and Vernon Smith.</p>
<p>In 1996, Gillespie received his Ph.D. in English literature from the State University of New York at Buffalo. He also holds an M.A. in English with a concentration in creative writing from Temple University and a B.A. in English and Psychology from Rutgers University. Gillespie, the father of two sons, lives in New York City.</p>

<p>Big topics covered today included Indiana Teacher pay and a major rally at the Statehouse. Henry County Health Department has begun enforcing a more than decade old rule around food pantries. Boeing has had planes crashing, should the government be regulating? </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In Sounds Like Liberty: Episode 39. Hi folks. I’m (Lizzie) taking over writing these things, so dig these value packed new show notes. In today’s episode we talked with the wonderful Mr. Chris Spangle of We Are Libertarians fame. We go through the Libertarian gossip mill and of course culture. It always comes back to culture doesn’t it?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To begin today we examine that classic hippy tune People Got to be free by The Rascals. But do people want to be free? <a href="http://bit.ly/2ClcOLn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://bit.ly/2ClcOLn</a>  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In I Heard This Happened: Nicky brings to the table some pop-rock gold in the form of the record Topiary by LA artist Alex Jules. The songs might remind you of classic Billy Joel. In fact if you couldn’t discern the modern recording techniques you might assume it was straight from the 70’s. There is something almost like Styx or Supertramp in Alex’s tenor and he has moments of swagger like early Ben Folds Five. The record came out on Match 8th and you can check it out here:<a href="http://alexjules.bandcamp.com/album/topiary" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://alexjules.bandcamp.com/album/topiary</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have the record Anchors & Elephants by vocalist Jennah Bell. I haven’t recommended a singer-songwriter record in a while. This one is far more interesting than most others. There is a rambling in the lyrics that might remind you of artists like Erykah Badu or Bob Dylan. I can’t find fault in Ms. Bell’s vocals. At times they remind me of Kimbra or Cobie Calit and I appreciate the way she plays with the melody in her phrasing. There are a lot of interesting choices represented in this record. It deserves more attention than it has gotten so far. <a href="https://jennahbell.bandcamp.com/album/anchors-elephants" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> https://jennahbell.bandcamp.com/album/anchors-elephants</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An apple a day keeps the doctor away?  Well, too bad, because we have the doctor in the house, as this week I am joined by Dr. Mary Ruwart!  Dr. Ruwart honestly should need no introduction, but for those of you who are unfamiliar in Dr. Ruwart’s work, Dr. Ruwart is a research scientist, ethicist, and a renowned libertarian author/activist.</p>
<p>Listen as Dr. Ruwart and I discuss her start in politics/libertarianism, the history of the Libertarian Party, and the importance of accomplishing libertarian goals outside of using government force.  </p>
<p><strong>Bio</strong>:  Dr. Mary J. Ruwart  received her B.S. in biochemistry in 1970 and her Ph.D. in Biophysics in 1974 (both from Michigan State University).  She subsequently joined the Department of Surgery at St. Louis University and left her Assistant Professorship there to accept a position with The Upjohn Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1976.  As a senior research scientist, Dr. Ruwart was involved in developing new therapies for a variety of diseases, including liver cirrhosis and AIDS.</p>
<p>Dr. Ruwart left Upjohn in 1995 to devote her time to consulting and writing. Her communications course for scientists covering written, oral, and poster presentations has received high praise from attendees. She also provides consulting services for nutraceutical companies, clinical research organizations, and universities.</p>
<p>Between 2003 and 2006, Dr. Ruwart was an adjunct Associate Professor of Biology at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte.  During that time, she served with the Center for Applied and Professional Ethics, designing a medical research ethics course for the University.  Her radical application of ethics to medical regulation, especially regulations regarding pharmaceuticals, has life-and-death-implications.</p>
<p>Since 1982, Dr. Ruwart has also been involved in societal ethics with a focus on the political theory and practice of libertarianism. Her award-winning international best-selling book, Healing Our World, demonstrates how the ethical application of libertarian principles has historically created harmony and abundance.  Referencing hundreds of studies, Dr. Ruwart demonstrates that many of our current policies surreptitiously violate the basic ethical standards that we hold dear, thereby leading to unintended—and highly undesirable—consequences. Over the last three decades, Dr. Ruwart has often run for public office as a Libertarian Candidate, primarily to educate voters on the impact of ethical choices on their personal and financial well-being.</p>
<p>Dr. Ruwart’s sister, Martie, provided extensive editorial critique to the first (1992) edition of Healing Our World. In 1993, Martie was diagnosed with terminal cancer and became one of Dr. Kevorkian’s patients.

<p>Her Internet column, Ask Dr. Ruwart, is a popular feature of the Advocates for Self-Government “Liberator OnLine” e-zine. Her book, Short Answers to the Tough Question, is based on these and other questions she has received over the years.</p>
<p>Dr. Ruwart has worked extensively with the poor through her decade-long efforts to rehabilitate low-income housing in the Kalamazoo area.  She was also an active member of the Kalamazoo Rainforest Action Committee and has been profiled in American Men and Women of Science, Who’s Who in Science and Technology, World Who’s Who of Women, International Leaders of Achievement, Who’s Who of American Women, Community Leaders of North America and several other prestigious biographical works.</p>
<p>Currently, Dr. Ruwart serves as Chair of Liberty International and Secretary of the Foundation for a Free Society. She has been an At-Large member of the Libertarian National Committee , served on the Board of both the Heartland Institute (Michigan Chapter) and the Fully Informed Jury Amendment Association.</p>

Very interesting story about something that we had no idea of its existence. Fascinating!</p>
<p>Producer Chris Guffey has filed to run for office! He is now starting to take meetings and listen to constituents. We did a quick sit down interview to hear what it is like to start a campaign.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        If there were a conventional treatment for a disease in a traditional medical practice that worked only 10% of the time or less – would anyone feel comfortable claiming it was a fantastic cure? I suspect not, yet those abysmal successful treatment numbers are present in some areas of the mental health arena when it comes to addiction treatment. However, you almost never hear about the failure of the 12 step programs or outpatient treatment plans and their high failure rate. Why is that?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boy oh boy are you in store for a fiery (yet fun) conversation.  Today I am joined by friend of the show (and former New York State Assembly Candidate) Keith Rubino!  </p>
<p>Now, I’m sure most of you will remember when Keith joined us last year to discuss his candidacy as a self-proclaimed “democratic socialist”.  Keith came on the show knowing full well that this was a libertarian podcast with a libertarian audience.  But that didn’t deter him in the slightest.  Keith came on the show, took the tough questions, and gave the audience and genuine look into the mind of our political foils.  </p>
<p>Keith’s last episode went over so well, from both libertarians AND democratic socialists alike, that I wanted to have him on once again to have an “Ask the Democratic Socialist” segment where my audience could submit questions that they have regarding democratic socialism for Keith.  And my goodness, you guys sent me TONS of questions for Keith.  </p>
<p>Now, I didn’t get the chance to ask all of your questions, and frankly, there were quite a few questions I had to weed out (“How does one advocate for theft so openly?” was one of my personal favorites), but never fear, this is likely to be “PART 1” of my “Ask a Democratic Socialist” series with Keith.</p>
<p>Keith and I had a lively, at times fiery, but overall fun conversation.  I feel that you will walk away from this episode, much like Keith and I did, feeling that you understand where the other side comes from more clearly.  </p>
<p>Definitely an episode that educates, enlightens, and informs!</p>
<p><em>SHOW NOTES</em></p>

<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/115" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/115</a></p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your loyal hosts. We are joined by Landon Dean, Vice President of the Knightstown Indiana Town Council, Memorial Park Board President, and Sergeant for the Henry County Sheriff department. We talk about what it takes to run a small town, keeping streets paved, water on, lights on, and managing wastewater treatment.  We chat about tremendous improvements in Memorial Park over the past few years, and we talk about the experiences as a law enforcement officer.</p>
<p>All the while, co-host Chase Peyton is trying to drink an entire gallon of milk, live on the air….Nobody knows why. He makes it through, but needed a “break” so surprise guest, Aaron Dicken joined us to update his testimony to the Henry County Council and a potential collaboration between the City and County.</p>
<p>Chris Guffey has a BIG announcement at the end. </p>
<p>Our program is supported by you, the listeners through Patreon at <a href="http://www.patreon.com/bosshogofliberty" rel="nofollow">www.patreon.com/bosshogofliberty</a> – Lots more bonus content on patreon. Enjoy!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        Today, the topic physician burnout and looking at the numbers at who is suffering and what the causes are. Medscape published its 2019 Survey of Physician Burnout, Depression, & Suicide that dives deep into the demographics and causes of the phenomena. However, what was notably absent from the possible causes for burnout was financial matters. What effect does a high personal debt have on physician well being? And if it is a problem,  how can you find your out of debt to improve your psyche as a physician?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The question of the day is…. How do you change an angry mind?</p>



<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.podbean.com/media/player/audio/postId/11050155?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.podbean.com%2Fmedia%2Fshare%2Fpb-3t7r8-a89cab&version=1" width="100%" height="122" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" data-name="pd-iframe-player"></iframe>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re currently living in a strange time of great civil discourse to the point that some have even dubbed it the New Civil War. What is the solution to the madness? Do we get involved and fight for rationality, or do we stay out of it and just sit back and watch it burn?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today’s episode is my conversation with Chris Spangle of the podcast, We Are Libertarians. Chris has his finger on the pulse of modern culture more than most which gives him a pretty in-tune yet grounded perspective on the culture that we have collectively created for ourselves and the subsequent division it has created.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this conversation we discussed the most effective ways to navigate the culture wars and how the individual can best approach topics with others of radically differing opinions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Is there any hope for this country? Will things get better before they get worse? Why is Chris such a statist?… Find out now on The System is Down! Culture Wars: Maintaining Civility thru Civil Unrest with Chis Spangle of We Are Libertarians!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also, Chris and I recorded a bonus hour episode for members of The Downers Club where we discussed conspiracies and cultures treatment of people who dig into different theories. If you would like to hear that, just go check out The Downers Club at patreon.com/thesystemisdown.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Question Everything. Stay Uncomfortable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Let’s get weird!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        I have spent a lot of time discussing innovative ways of delivering medical care on this show and it has primarily been based around primary care. However, those who are specialists who traditionally practiced using third party payors (Medicare, Medicaid, commercial) are also beginning to strike out on their own and switch to cash pay. The reason for this is that the cost of using insurance and the lack of access allows these specialists to find a market for the type of medicine they want to practice.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week, we were joined by Lily Tang Williams, as she discussed her growing up under Mao’s Communist China years and years ago… Today, we are joined by Hillary Andaluz Aguilar, who grew up in Venezuela through both the Socialist Chavez and Maduro regimes.  With the Tragedy of Venezuela taking place right before our eyes, Hillary gives personal insight into what built up to the horrible conditions witnessed in Venezuela today.  </p>
<p>Listen as Hillary explains how Chavez and the concepts of socialism took control of Venezuela through the use of divisiveness, cause by building resentment between the differing wage classes.  Later, Hillary discusses the deteriorating of the Venezuelan economy caused by the socialist policies of Chavez, the death of Chavez, and the new rule under Maduro.  Finally, we conclude by discussing what those in favor of socialism today should learn from the failed socialist policies in Venezuela so that we never fall in the same way as Venezuela has.</p>
<p>Again, I don’t ask this often, but if you could please share today’s episode with your family and friends, especially those in need of hearing the truth as to what socialism has done to Venezuela, that would be absolutely incredible.</p>
<p>And finally, don’t forget, hit me up on Patreon to get a bunch of bonus content!</p>

<p>Valentines special! Jeremiah and Dakota are joined by their brides, Sara and Audrey! Sara plays bartender and has a custom cocktail for each host. Patreon members were here to celebrate. Kristi Avery and Nancy Dietz stopped by for a champagne toast! Chris Guffey makes it all sound good!</p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/113" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/113</a></p>
<p>It sounds like the government is staying open. The magic formula was just a little more spending. National debt has reached 22 Trillion. Chris Guffey thinks that Mitch McConnell is a badass. </p>
<p>News out of Ohio, a 18 year old had turned against his mom and got vaccinated. We went down the rabbit hole. We don’t know if we found the other side. </p>
<p>BIG news locally. Local businessman John Montgomery has announced that he plans to open a hotel next to his steak house. Plenty of excitement to have a name brand hotel in the community.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        What is the difference between a first year medical student and a senior in college? A lot of debt and neither knows anything about medicine. Contrary to popular belief, medical students don’t know the first thing about the health care system, how it is delivered in the United States, or what challenges face physicians in caring for their patients. So all of the popular opinions floating around in the general undergraduate student population are present upon their training. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all have “that” friend…  “Like, OMG democratic socialism is the only way we can save America #CRAPitalism”.</p>
<p>And in response, have you ever thought, “Man, if only I had a podcast I could share with [INSERT COMMIE FRIEND NAME HERE] where the host interviewed someone who grew up in a communist hellhole who could speak to the atrocities of socialism and communism from their experiencing it first hand?”</p>
<p>If you answered yes to either of these particularly specific questions, then boy oh boy do I have an episode for you!</p>
<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by Lily Tang Williams!  Williams grew up in Communist China under Mao Zedong and earned her B.S. in law from Fudan University in 1985, one of China’s top five universities, and her M.S. in social work (upon moving to the United States) from the University of Texas at Austin in 1991.</p>
<p>Lily was the Libertarian nominee in 2014 to run for the State of Representatives in District 44 and is the former state chair of the Libertarian Party and Libertarian nominee in 2016 for U.S. Senate in Colorado.  Listen as we discuss Lily’s amazing story from living in Mao’s Communist China, coming to America, discovering the concepts of liberty, and subsequently pursuing elected office as a Libertarian.  Finally, Lily gives her dire warning to those who are “socialism/communism curious”… it’s a message you can’t miss (and one I ask you to share with all your friends and family). </p>
<p>Lily’s Bio: Lily Tang Williams was the Libertarian nominee for U.S. Senate in Colorado. Born before China’s Cultural Revolution in Sichuan province, the wild west of China, Lily was raised with her two brothers by illiterate working-class parents. She grew up under Mao’s regime, enduring poor living conditions; food rationing; Communist indoctrination; and political and social chaos. In this tumultuous environment, she quickly developed street smarts and compassion, as well as the values of perseverance and hard work.</p>
<p>Lily received her university law degree at Fudan University in Shanghai and was a faculty member of the law school for three years. She came to the U.S. in 1988 to earn a Master’s degree at the University of Texas at Austin, School of Social Work.</p>
<p>Subsequently, Lily worked for corporations in Hong Kong and the U.S as a corporate executive. She then became a Colorado small business woman and entrepreneur in 2000.</p>
<p>Lily was nominated as a candidate by the Libertarian Party of Colorado in March of 2014 to run for the State of Representatives in District 44. She is the former state chair of the Libertarian Party of Colorado and currently State Director for Our America Initiative.</p>
<p>Lily is a grassroots activist and professional speaker. She has been outspoken promoting civil liberties, economic freedom, less intrusive government, and other policies that maximize personal freedom. She is an inspirational speaker to many people. Lily has been married to John Williams for 26 years. They have lived in Parker, Colorado for 17 years, with their children and German Shepherd Ajiao (which means ‘cute and proud’ in Mandarin). In addition to political activities, Lily takes care of family and business. She also enjoys traveling, cooking, music, soccer, poker and ping pong.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        For those who have encountered the health care system – the emergency room is the greatest mystery for charges. Although little of emergency care is truly emergency life threatening care (est. ~3%) the care is some of the most expensive in the hospital. Whether that it is imaging, laboratory, or professional services – patients and insurers are expected to pay the inflated costs. So how do we control costs and not break the bank for all of our patients when they are possibly at their most vulnerable?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I need to apologize for my <a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/bill-weld-allegedly-leaves-the-libertarian-party-and-i-dont-blame-him/">earlier post about Bill Weld</a>. I said ignorance and disinformation are bad, and open dialogue is good. That a movement based on voluntary exchange and empathy ought to model it through reasoned dialogue and respectful debate. Somehow that was controversial because I said it about Bill Weld. I was clearly wrong when I thought that principles shouldn’t change based on the person at the center of the discussion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe it’s the fault of the communicator. What I wrote was not a defense of Bill Weld, but a condemnation of the way we conduct business. Clearly, it was poorly written because commenters said I was a “Weld supporter”, a “Republican,” a “Weld lover,” a “statist”, and a “dick head.” I promise not to take the hundreds of angry responses as a point proven. I will take it as a correction of my own behavior. From here on out, I will conform to anything the libertarian movement wants so I will fit in even when it violates my own beliefs.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bill Weld’s experience with the Libertarian Party is <g class="gr_ gr_25 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep" id="25" data-gr-id="25">all too </g>common. <br /></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">– Person has libertarian-leaning beliefs. <br />– Person dips their toe into the party. Feels excited that there’s a party aligned with beliefs. <br />– Wants to get involved so they join leadership. <br />– Ripped to shreds by emotionally immature, controlling children on Facebook that can’t tolerate others holding beliefs different than theirs. Same arrogant children often have zero political experience and have no desire to get involved. They say things like, “This is why I left the Libertarian Party” as if they ever did a single thing to help the party. <br />– The normal person can’t understand why they’d waste their time losing elections while being abused by a group of weirdos. <br />– Person returns to original party.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bill Weld could have taught the Libertarian Party a lot because of his experience and connections in politics. The Libertarian Party could have taught him a lot about libertarian philosophy. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen because people in the libertarian movement are dedicated to keeping the movement small. <a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/wal-daily-46-is-the-libertarian-movement-in-a-leadership-vacuum-with-remso-martinez/">This was </a><g class="gr_ gr_51 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="51" data-gr-id="51"><a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/wal-daily-46-is-the-libertarian-movement-in-a-leadership-vacuum-with-remso-martinez/">eximplified</a></g><a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/wal-daily-46-is-the-libertarian-movement-in-a-leadership-vacuum-with-remso-martinez/"> by the sniping at the recent LibertyCon event from the stage</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So this news isn’t surprising at all:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Bill Weld will announce he&#39;s running against Trump as a Republican, a new report says <a href="https://t.co/HPyoeL1aEO">https://t.co/HPyoeL1aEO</a> <a href="https://t.co/mU3pM3XGNc">pic.twitter.com/mU3pM3XGNc</a></p>— Boston Magazine (@BostonMagazine) <a href="https://twitter.com/BostonMagazine/status/1091009476973481984?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 31, 2019</a></blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If people are wondering why I don’t recommend joining the party to friends and listeners anymore after dedicating a decade of my life to the LP, this cycle is why. I am a bad friend if I knowingly waste their time and abuse them. I’ll recommend candidates, but not joining party leadership. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WeAreLibertarians/?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARBYN5wL83cjfDEGd_inDSH27JIgfTJAi4NuSzAoV4ctG6kfJvhibqbrWvjyqFSdzNw02i5iCdGdfWq3CqcGyiibwjZbsk-I3pppjp_IZU05xmHc2Ma8XfGLWWfHxBC6sFlTt-sCJo5UB0eAWMDwzUWeezxrH-iYkzF2TUGmZt2edx0dGofAFQXeMWMuoQiheqs8cBW7F25YuA&__xts__%5B1%5D=68.ARDRh9swzudXLCXllAqGvRDACgWStXRPboa4O6C4KVMYoC1YWcZbjEOqcSB0y6AJwVrvHwO7qjupFnVwLeqN_3aj-AbaajAh7TSUGQ0os4d25V-2MC5klqI-go77_JRZxdq5NRHX5PR7gB7oPNGR2vQDqRRKnB1sym3vLU2CT-moEC30iRcviD9dvkMbXHRa9tLj8ogSALeI7g&__tn__=K-R&eid=ARDnaVYcwRWcTd2Mp2FvhDQNNCqPalG5UV5VLz-MLurrE80U7eW11hHdqNkL7OWVlVMbKqSIPoPKSzuq&fref=mentions">We Are Libertarians Podcast</a> creates hundreds of new libertarians a year, and it’s a shame they have no political home.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you need proof of what I’m talking about, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/chris.spangle/posts/10104121898923584">then visit the comment section of my post where I first wrote this</a>. It is full of people missing the point about building a more welcoming party and attacking Weld anyways mixed with people sharing their own stories of ending their time in the dog kennel. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This does not mean leadership is above criticism. There are right ways and wrong ways to do it though. Weld was absolutely NOT ready to represent the libertarian philosophy in 2016, and it is unclear if he could have done it well in 2020. We never got the chance because his comments were c<a href="https://rawaudio.fireside.fm/112">ontinually distorted.</a> </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://rawaudio.fireside.fm/112">When I heard him speak at the LPIN convention</a>, I realized two things: 1. What he says or said is different than what people say about him. 2. He isn’t ready to be the party’s nominee in 2020. He doesn’t understand the over-arching philosophy yet, he doesn’t have a clear vision for America, and Ron Nielson 3.0 is a mistake. Plus, the fight over his nomination would be destructive for the party. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are a ton of people that are brand new to libertarianism because of the Johnson-Weld campaign. I talk to one almost weekly. The reality is that audiences take things very personally, and trashing the guys that brought newbies to the party confuses them. They hear, “I’m not welcome?” and not “Bill Weld isn’t welcome.” It’s the same as trashing AOC or Trump in too personal of a manner. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Judd Weiss captured the culture within this movement <g class="gr_ gr_88 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" id="88" data-gr-id="88">peferctly</g> on <a href="http://lionsofliberty.com/2017/04/10/290/">Lions of Liberty</a><g class="gr_ gr_130 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Style replaceWithoutSep" id="130" data-gr-id="130">:</g></p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“For the most part of the last several decades, after all this time, energy, hostility, brain distraction, emotion, the Libertarian Party really hasn’t achieved anything. It’s been a sinkhole in the wider liberty movement. It’s been the biggest sinkhole of time, energy, money, and emotions that I’ve seen. It’s a cage match arena where Libertarians fight with each other over positions of no power. It’s embarrassing I wish it would be improved.<br />We need to stop focusing on the minute details of people’s differences. We need to focus on improving the environment. We need to focus on improving the experience of being involved in the liberty movement and the Libertarian Party. Otherwise, no one‘s going to want to be involved in this experience because the experience is miserable.<br />Maybe the Libertarian Party has contributed something valuable to the scene. Maybe the Libertarian Party’s value is that it’s not to win elections. It’s basically the convenient quarantine pen for the most toxic elements. It’s like a dog kennel. You can’t have rabid dogs biting people. You need to put them somewhere, so that’s Libertarian Party. It’s a place for angry libertarians who need a chew toy, and that’s each other. ” </p></blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a movement dedicated to philosophy instead of power or policies. Having been a libertarian for ten years, I continually discover something new. I only have grown through reasoned dialogue amongst friends. The LP, the movement at large, and the thought leaders did a very poor job of treating Weld as a friend. Either the party makes a space for competing ideas and open dialogue, or it dies.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This episode originally aired on The Muddied Waters of Freedom’s podcast, “The Wrighters Block”</em></p>
<p>“Brian Nichols from the Brian Nichols Show and the Libertarian Republic joins Matt to talk about the new Congress and the Presidential field in 2020.”</p>
<p>Matt Wright Bio: Matt wright is the former vice chair of the Libertarian Party of Pinellas county. He has worked on numerous statewide campaigns for libertarian candidates, and continues to be an avid activist. He is a published fiction author, and continues working to help further the liberty movement through activism, his writing, and this podcast.</p>
<p>The Muddied Waters of Freedom: Matt Wright and Mohammed Shaker had seen each other on social media for a while before finally meeting each other at Low Tide Kava Bar in Gulfport in the summer of 2015.</p>
<p>They began hanging out on a regular basis talking about politics, religion and life in general. After months of them getting to know each other Mohammed asked if Matt would be interested in doing a podcast together. After a few more months of talking about it they decided to take the plunge, and sat down at Matt’s house and recorded their first episode which was met with very little critical acclaim. They were able to borrow a microphone from a friend in order to approve on the sound of the episodes and slowly they approved the quality of their episodes.</p>
<p>After running a contest on Facebook in order to help name the show Matt and Mo decided on the name “The Muddied Waters of Freedom” in an allusion to the kava they drink during their show, along with the murky waters of politics and the effects it has on each and every persons’ personal freedoms.</p>
<p>The Muddied Waters of Freedom is becoming a steadfast in the Liberty Movement having been mentioned on other podcasts, such as MilLiberty with Caleb Franz, and Across the Aisle with Zak, Adam and Kaison, and received recognition from Eric July from the Backwordz. Matt and Mohammed continue to put out episodes touching on the current events of the week, hoping to educate their listeners on what is happening, how our personal freedoms are being infringed upon, and what we can do to change the path our country is currently on.</p>

<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are your hosts. Kade Koger returns to the 3rd co-host chair!<br />
We are joined by friend of the program, Travis Weik. Travis recently became the editor of The Courier Times. In this new age of digital media, and layoffs at big national and statewide newspapers, how does the local paper compete? Great conversation about choosing local headlines over national. </p>
<p>Travis also operates Saved Games Library and Shop in Downtown New Castle. We discuss the future of our downtowns. Are they the future of small communities?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hope you all are strapped in, ’cause we’re about to Blast Off with Johnny Rocket!</p>
<p>Yes, you read that right!  Today I’m joined by Johnny “Rocket” Adams from The Launch Pad Media!  Johnny is one of the most familiar voices within the greater libertarian movement, as he is the host of the show, “Blast Off with Johnny Rocket”.  Today, Johnny joins me to discuss his latest venture… a complete re-branding and re-launching (pun intended) of his media empire: The Launch Pad Media.</p>
<p>Listen as Johnny discusses his venture to becoming a libertarian, starting from his days as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army to his deep-dive into libertarianism to his building his media empire today.</p>
<p>Bio: JOHNNY “ROCKET” ADAMS</p>
<p>Johnny “Rocket” Adams is the creator and host of “The Johnny Rocket Launch Pad – Libertarian Rock n’ Roll Experience” and now “BLAST OFF!” He’s also a musician, graphic artist, author, and former Chief Warrant Officer. Johnny spent his early days earning his stripes as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army.</p>
<p>Back stateside, Johnny immersed himself in the classic works of Murray Rothbard, Henry Hazlitt, and Ludwig von Mises. From there the AnCap known as “Johnny Rocket” was born. Speaking truth to power from your cell phone tower, Johnny digests the philosophy of liberty and brings them to the man on the street on a weekly basis.</p>
<p>Johnny Rocket was also the front-man of the rockabilly group “Hot Roddin’ Romeos” and puts pencil to paper with the critically acclaimed comic series “The Liberty Force.” New York Times best-selling author and podcast host Tom Woods calls Johnny Rocket “one of the most entertaining figures in the liberty movement.”</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">By Jeremiah Morrell</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This weekend has taught/reinforced to all of us a lesson that we were supposed to learn in childhood. We were born with two eyes, two ears, and one mouth. More listening and thinking and less speaking is the lesson of the weekend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Somewhere over the course of the last few years, we have developed the outrage culture. Watching the events of the day, selecting only the portion that suits our own narrative, and then blasting it all over the landscape. We do it on our own Facebook and Twitter accounts. The internet media and “old” media are just as complicit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The DC students and Native American controversy never made sense to me. The outrage happens faster than the facts can get to us. Being human, emotional creatures, we react before we think. Because 40% of the country was barricaded inside their homes, preparing for a blizzard, I believe our country got bored and reacted before we knew anything. A short video clip here, a headline or two there… Get in your corner! There is an internet battle brewing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What we have to recognize is that our country is very diverse. We come from different places, we come from different backgrounds. The amount of diversity in this country is phenomenal. But instead of taking the time to understand others, we build echo chambers. We do it by only talking to our own friend circles, only consuming certain media outlets. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Driving home from the grocery store tonight, one of my favorite old country songs came up. Chris LeDoux’s “This Cowboy’s Hat”. It is a song about understanding the other side of a conversation. Attempt to listen to there side of the story. See it from their shoes.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of recoiling and taking sides, try taking a breath and using your ears, and yes, even your eyes, before your mouth. I challenge all of us to visit new places, meet new people, and attempt to see how the other side works.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I am looking forward to visiting San Francisco, Washington DC, and Atlanta in the coming months. Very different than the midwest that we experience every day. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The important value for Americans is that we agree to live together, peacefully. We agree to not hurt each other. Not take each others stuff. Live any lifestyle that you want. Just don’t hurt the others.</p>

<p>Later, Caleb explains in detail as to how and ex-offender comes to learn about businesses that are Reintegration Project businesses, how a business owner become a Reintegration Project business, and the way The Reintegration Project helps show that libertarians are putting their money where their mouths are.  </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        One of the tasks assigned to physicians, and certainly not a task one thinks of when entering medical school, is to verify death. The first time you declare someone dead – for me, it was as a first year resident in the ICU – is a weird feeling because of the finality of it. As with anything you do as a physician for the first time there is some uncertainty that you aren’t “messing up.” But you don’t need to be a doctor to declare someone dead because anyone can tell when someone or something is dead, right?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by 2020 Libertarian Presidential candidate, Kim Ruff!  And what and episode it was! </p>
<p>Listen as Kim gives her perspective as to what went wrong for Libertarians in 2016 (and how they can do better in 2020).  Next, I ask Kim some questions she would see as the Libertarian nominee on the debate stage, such as the libertarian perspective on foreign policy, the inevitable “What is a libertarian?” question, and what her closing pitch to voters would be during her closing statement.  </p>
<p>If you’re interested in learning more about her campaign, find her campaign online at RuffPhillips2020.org. </p>
<p>Bio: Ms. Ruff is a graduate of Arizona State University with dual baccalaureates in Political Science and Communications. She is the Operations Director at a Plastic and Metal Fabrication Plant that serves the high purity industries. She is also a mother of two beautiful children, aged four and five. She is a former Air Force wife and lived in both Arkansas and New York. She founded the Niagara County Libertarian Party and participated in 2016 as a delegate for the state of New York at the LP National Convention. In 2018, Ms. Ruff served on the Bylaws Committee, and is the Vice Chair of the Libertarian Party Radical Caucus.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 95 of Boss Hog of Liberty, sponsored by Montgomery’s Steakhouse is now available! </p>
<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/108" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/108</a></p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis host a “host only special”. Kade Koger, Chase Peyton, and producer Chris Guffey are in the room!</p>
<p>The government is still shut down. We have a brand new congress, perhaps one of the most diverse in the history of our country. What does it mean?</p>
<p>The Indiana General Assembly is back and bills are being filed. Dakota previews the bills the show plans to track through the process. Jeremiah takes exception to a bill designed to provide a tax credit to gun owners. Kade is concerned about the Chamber of Commerce wanting to add $2 a pack to cigarettes. The big question of the day, should government taxation be designed to encourage behavior? </p>
<p>Chase Peyton is on the sports desk. VERY upset over the Bears losing the Eagles. Everyone tried to make him feel better… Very unsuccessful.</p>
<p>Finally, the hosts covered the re-organization meeting of the Henry County Council. Listen for the BREAKING news!</p>
<p>Great show! Enjoy!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As we move into a new year, I explain how We Are Libertarians will impact our communities, the libertarian movement, and our listeners.</p>
<p>Our mission is to explain politics, society and culture to the average American.</p>
<p>Our main goal is to be relevant.</p>
<p>So what are the needs of the average American?</p>
<ul>
<li>They want to understand without being manipulated. </li>
<li>They want to know what’s important instead of what’s popular. </li>
<li>They want to be less lonely. </li>
<li>They want to solve society’s problems.</li>
</ul>
<p>How do we achieve this?</p>
<ul>
<li>We start by treating everyone with dignity and respect. </li>
<li>We seek to understand. Listen. </li>
<li>We seek to be good neighbors. </li>
<li>We seek to be good citizens. </li>
<li>We seek our principles and not popularity.</li>
</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back, ya beautiful people!  I hope you had a fun and relaxing holiday break with you family and friends as we wrapped up 2018.  But alas, here we are, kicking off 2019 the right way… with yet another phenomenal guest on The Brian Nichols Show!</p>
<p>To kick off 2019, I am joined by the Editor at Young Voices and contributor to National Review, The Federalist, and the Washington Examiner, Brad Polumbo!  Brad focuses on a number of issues in his commentaries, but particularly focuses on civil liberties, LGBT issues, and higher education.</p>
<p>For today’s episode, we start off discussing the divide between those within the LGBT movement and the political ideologies of conservatism and libertarianism.  As an openly gay conservative/libertarian, I ask Brad to share his experience within the larger conservative/libertarian communities, his interactions with social conservatives, and the manner in which he and other gay conservatives/libertarians are treated by the greater LGBT movement.  </p>
<p>Later, Brad gives his advice to libertarians as to how and better win over members of the LGBT community and dissects the ridiculousness that is identity politics.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">By Matin Pedram (1)</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Economic sanctions (either targeted sanctions or comprehensive embargos) undermine infrastructures as well as social synergy. Although someone can claim that targeted sanctions have no such negative externalities, decrease in foreign investment and interruption in capital flows are the definite outcomes which have their own catastrophic results. So, impacts of economic sanctions cannot be estimated less than a real war. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This essay is going to affirm that Iran nuclear deal from an individualistic point of view is an efficient deal. Furthermore, sanctions re-imposition is against individualistic values of Iranian people because the opportunities to achieve moral well-being and human capital accumulation, being the main forces of any changes in a society, will be lost.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Making JCPOA Sense</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The JCPOA is an agreement on the nuclear program of Iran reached in Vienna on July 14, 2015 between Iran, the P5+1 (the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council—China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States—plus Germany). On 16 January 2016 it was announced by the International Atomic Energy Agency that Iran had adequately dismantled its nuclear weapons program, allowing the United Nations to lift sanctions immediately. Hence, the oil embargo and financial sanctions were lifted. It was a big moment for Iranian people to access to global markets more freely and follow their own well-being, but there were many controversial arguments in favor of or against the JCPOA in the United States which made the perspective unclear. In spite of European Union, China and Russia objections, on May 8, 2018, the United States withdrew from JCPOA. As a consequence, the risk of doing business in Iran increased dramatically for the multinational companies that operate in the Iran’s market. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Currently, sanctions can be categorized into 2 sections: 1) Sanctions which are re-imposed by US and 2) Sanctions which have been still lifted by EU and UN through JCPOA and Security Council resolution number 2231. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impacts of JCPOA </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Withdrawal on Iranian People: Undoubtedly, maximizing well-being in an isolated society is <g class="gr_ gr_4 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" id="4" data-gr-id="4">farfetched</g> issue, though there is no guarantee that in a free society one will improve his well-being. Based on the comprehensive regime of sanctions, accessibility to Iran’s markets is restricted, and the outcome will be people’s unwanted deprivation, and aggression purposefully toward individuals’ choices. (3)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Due to JCPOA withdrawal, the United States gave a clear message to every entrepreneur that Iran no longer is a secure destination for investment; therefore, risk of investment in Iran and even exportation of products to Iran is tremendously increased. Without access to foreign investments and technologies, economic flourishing is like a dream. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although one can claim that free access to information, humanitarian aid or consumer goods are not restricted by sanctions, cost of the access will increase. Furthermore, standard of living will diminish dramatically due to hardship in access to markets and it gradually leads to economic depression.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Avoidance from Reengineering the Society</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">the main reason to impose sanctions is to change one state’s behavior. In a broad context, it can be called reengineering a society to see a kind of revolution. According to this, “whenever the outcome of user-owner decisions about their properties is not liked by the community of social engineers (people, that is, who are not the user-owners of the things in question and who do not have a contractually acquired title to them), it has the right to interfere with the practices of the actual user-owners and determine the use of these means, thereby restricting their property rights.” In other words, JCPOA was a framework to restrain Iran’s nuclear program, but after sanctions re-imposition, in particular (financial sanctions such as money transactions, foreign investments, and SWIFT accessibility), it was decided by the United States to restrain people’s choices.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In conclusion, these are the real impacts of re-imposed sanctions on Iranian individuals. Iranian people have restricted choices to decide what actions they can take to improve their properties and well-being because “the community of social engineers has the right to determine unilaterally what is or is not a preferred outcome, and can thus restrict the property rights of natural owners whenever, wherever, and to the extent that it thinks necessary in order to produce a preferred outcome.” </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As Raimondo truly states: “Sanctions represent the opposite of a just war: from wars that only involved soldiers, we have moved to wars that only involve civilians. The concept of economic sanctions as a weapon also assumes international economic regulations and enforcement agencies, setting up a cadre of bureaucrats who sit in judgment of “outlaw nations”: in effect, the apparatus of world economic planners.” (5)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, planners use their own discretion to decide which type of investments and what kind of products are allowed to enter to Iran’s market. That is why individualistic values are under pressure and sanctions not only help to restore them, but also undermine their position in the society.</p>

Sanctions on Iran’s sale, supply or trade of metals such as aluminum and steel, as well as graphite, coal and certain software for “integrating industrial processes”;<br />

Sanctions on issuing Iranian debt;<br />
Iranian auto sanctions.<br />
Phase 2: At the end of the 180-day interval on November 4, 2018 another set of sanctions have been clamped down on Iran:<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow! What a year! This will be the final episode of The Brian Nichols Show for 2018! But don’t you worry, I have a special episode in store for you next week from my appearance on a different podcast… a podcast hosted by a dear friend of The Brian Nichols Show.</p>
<p>To wrap up the 2018 season of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by Max Gulker from the American Institute for Economic Research! Max is an economist over AIER and has holds a PhD in economics from Stanford University and a BA in economics from the University of Michigan. Prior to AIER, Max spent time in the private sector, consulting with large technology and financial firms on antitrust and other litigation.</p>
<p>Max joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss one of his latest pieces from AIER- “The Inconvenient Truth About the Green New Deal”. With the rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her promoting of the “Green New Deal”, Max took an economist’s look at the topic to see the true economic consequences of passing a “Green New Deal” versus letting the market decide what the best solution would be.</p>
<p>We also take some time to discuss Max’s background, as he came to libertarianism from the left-side of the political isle.</p>
<p>With that, I hope you enjoy this week’s episode! It has been an absolute pleasure sharing these 50 episodes with you during 2018. I cannot wait to kick things off strong in 2019! Have a safe and happy holiday with you friends, family, and loved ones.</p>
<p>Max’s Bio: Max Gulker is an economist and writer who joined AIER in 2015. His research often focuses on free markets and technology, including blockchain and cryptocurrencies, the sharing economy, and internet commerce. He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences, especially on blockchain technology. Max’s research and writing also touch on other economic topics, including governance, competition, and small businesses.</p>
<p>Max holds a PhD in economics from Stanford University and a BA in economics from the University of Michigan. Prior to AIER, Max spent time in the private sector, consulting with large technology and financial firms on antitrust and other litigation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow!  What a year!  This will be the final episode of The Brian Nichols Show for 2018!  But don’t you worry, I have a special episode in store for you next week from my appearance on a different podcast… a podcast hosted by a dear friend of The Brian Nichols Show.</p>
<p>To wrap up the 2018 season of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by Max Gulker from the American Institute for Economic Research!  Max is an economist over AIER and has holds a PhD in economics from Stanford University and a BA in economics from the University of Michigan.  Prior to AIER, Max spent time in the private sector, consulting with large technology and financial firms on antitrust and other litigation.</p>
<p>Max joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss one of his latest pieces from AIER- “The Inconvenient Truth About the Green New Deal”.  With the rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her promoting of the “Green New Deal”, Max took an economist’s look at the topic to see the true economic consequences of passing a “Green New Deal” versus letting the market decide what the best solution would be.  </p>
<p>We also take some time to discuss Max’s background, as he came to libertarianism from the left-side of the political isle.  </p>
<p>With that, I hope you enjoy this week’s episode!  It has been an absolute pleasure sharing these 50 episodes with you during 2018.  I cannot wait to kick things off strong in 2019!  Have a safe and happy holiday with you friends, family, and loved ones.</p>
<p><strong>Max’s Bio:</strong> Max Gulker is an economist and writer who joined AIER in 2015. His research often focuses on free markets and technology, including blockchain and cryptocurrencies, the sharing economy, and internet commerce. He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences, especially on blockchain technology. Max’s research and writing also touch on other economic topics, including governance, competition, and small businesses.</p>
<p>Max holds a PhD in economics from Stanford University and a BA in economics from the University of Michigan. Prior to AIER, Max spent time in the private sector, consulting with large technology and financial firms on antitrust and other litigation. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I am joined by a familiar voice of The Brian Nichols Show, John Chang from Otters Talking Politics!  You likely recognize John’s voice from the intro of The Brian Nichols Show, but John also hosts a phenomenal libertarian podcast called Otters Talking Politics.  I had the pleasure of joining John on his show back in the summer, and it was my pleasure to have John join The Brian Nichols Show to discuss some stuff he has been working on behind the scenes.</p>
<p>Listen as John and I discuss his path to libertarianism (surprisingly, John started on the political left!), his fantastic article entitled “The Fourth Branch of Government”, and then as we conclude by discussing my viral article from the beginning of the month over at The Libertarian Republic; “Stop Making Fun of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!”.  </p>
<p>And yes, to the last topic… it helps if you read past the headline!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ya’ll ready to ROAR?  I certainly hope so, because this week I am joined by the one and only Marc Clair from Lions of Liberty!  For those of you involved in the greater liberty movement, Marc is a familiar voice.  Marc is the “Editor-in-Chief” of Lions of Liberty, which is one of the leading podcasts within the libertarian movement.  </p>
<p>Today, Marc joins The Brian Nichols Show to discuss his libertarian roots, the founding of his Lions of Liberty empire, the value of podcasting as a means to influence others, and the importance of winning converts versus winning arguments. </p>
<p>Bio: Marc Clair is An ardent believer in libertarian ideals for over a decade, Marc decided to thrust himself into writing for the cause after becoming inspired by the Presidential campaigns of Ron Paul.  In 2011, he helped to co-found the Lions Of Liberty with several like-minded friends from their college days at Penn State nearly a decade earlier.  When he’s not serving as editor-in-chief of Lions Of Liberty and host and producer of the Lions of Liberty Podcast, he is busy with a freelance career in television and running a karaoke business in Los Angeles, CA. Marc is also a contributing writer for sports and pop culture website Place to be Nation.</p>

<p><a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/102" rel="nofollow">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/102</a></p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis co-host, with master hunter Kade Koger sitting in the third chair. There is an active poll for naming the deer that Kade brought to live in the studio with us now, and this week we have a Coyote pelt on the table. The pelt is because the guys have spiraled into Red Dead Redemption gaming. Each host confesses their worst crime.</p>
<p>Logan Cook is our featured guest, a veteran of the local comedy scene and a leading Jiu Jitsu / MMA fighter, even having his own move in competition. Logan really does feel like one of the WAL castmates, telling the story of how he infiltrated a Facebook group of psychics. </p>
<p>Finally, we get into the meaty subject of our local jail issue and discuss the latest news on proposals to move forward with a solution.</p>
<p>Special for our Patreon Only audience, there was a roll between Kade and Logan. Join patreon right now and you get to see how that turns out!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Michael Cloud literally <a href="http://theadvocates.donorshops.com/products/michaelcloud.php">wrote the book</a> on <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?ssPageName=GSTL&_nkw=michael+cloud&_in_kw=3&_ex_kw=&_sacat=267&_udlo=&_udhi=&_ftrt=901&_ftrv=1&_sabdlo=&_sabdhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=46142&_sargn=-1%26saslc%3D1&_salic=1&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_fosrp=1">libertarian persuasion</a>. Written in 1978, Cloud identified the kneejerk desire of libertarians to use aggressive language to wake people up. </em></p>
<p>It was a large and expensive home. The architecture radiated impeccable taste. Seated around the dining table were five people: three moderates, a conservative and a libertarian. The conservative was a multimillionaire — and a generous political contributor. After dinner she turned to the libertarian and said, “Our hosts tell me you’re a libertarian. Maybe I’m a little naive, but I don’t know what that word means. Could you tell me about your beliefs?”</p>
<p>“Sure. I can explain them in a sentence: ‘Fuck the State!’ Libertarians want to get rid of as much government as they can.”</p>
<p>The woman was stunned. She dropped the subject and guided the conversation into other areas. In her mind, two things were associated with ‘libertarian’: bad manners and gutter language.</p>
<hr />
<p>In the early 1960’s, a student asked a spokesman for Objectivism what would happen to the poor in a free society. The spokesman answered, “If you want to help them, you will not be stopped.” What did the student conclude? That Objectivists are indifferent to human need, callous toward the unfortunate, and without solutions to the misery of poverty.</p>
<hr />
<p>In the early 1970’s, on the University of Arizona campus, libertarians set up an information table each week. Armed with the latest books, magazines and position papers, these libertarians tried to bring their views to the attention of other students. One day a student stopped at the table and asked, “What do you think of Social Security? What kind of help would the elderly get in your free society?”</p>
<p>The student behind the table was an old hand; he had heard the question many times. He responded, “The government has no right to force people to pay Social Security taxes. Taxation is theft. Government has no right to steal from one group of citizens to benefit another. If people don’t save money for old age, they have no right to coerce it from those who are working. We should abolish Social Security.”</p>
<p>The questioner was shocked. “You want to dump Social Security and abolish taxes? Sure! Maybe we can do without government, too! You don’t give a damn about old people. All you care about is your own stinking money!”</p>
<hr />
<p>This last story is a little painful — I was the libertarian behind the table.</p>
<p>These are three examples of The Libertarian Macho Flash. Most people are familiar with ‘flashing’ — sexual exhibitionism. The common scenario is this: A middle-aged, average-looking man approaches a small group of women or children. He is wearing a raincoat, false trouser legs and shoes. The man whips open his raincoat to exhibit his naked body. His viewers are shocked, and he leaves before they recover.</p>
<p>The Libertarian Macho Flash has much in common with sexual exhibitionism. A common-looking person exposes his political beliefs in a shocking way. Invariably, he disgusts people or at least shakes them up. The Libertarian Macho Flasher displays his views in the most offensive way or exhibits whichever views are most likely to offend the audience.</p>
<p>Are some libertarian positions offensive? Not to libertarians. But supporters of other viewpoints may be offended. It depends on the audience. What would enrapture a feminist might offend an educational choice supporter. A liberal might be shocked by a statement that would make a conservative’s heart soar. To determine what would flash an audience, a speaker must know who he’s talking to and what they believe. He must understand their loves and hates, their hopes and fears. Flashing is emphasizing one’s views in terms of what they hate and fear.</p>
<p>There can be many motives for flashing. The flasher is a show-stopper, a real attention-getter. If someone desperately wants to be noticed, flashing gets instant results.</p>
<p>The Libertarian Macho Flash is also a great timesaver. After all, persuasion involves time and effort. By flashing, the speaker bypasses a long and demanding conversation.</p>
<p>Then there are people who live in fear of rejection. Seeing themselves through the eyes of others, they are psychologically dependent, and the possibility of rejection is frightening. How do they handle this? By doing something to get it out of the way as soon as possible. By engineering rejection.</p>
<p>The real macho flasher, by shocking his listeners, convinces himself that his ideas are virile, potent — even intimidating. The audience obviously lacks his intellectual courage and insight. He grasps truth and goodness. He is good, noble and wise — clearly a superior person. The listeners? They are stupid, worthless and possibly evil. Why waste time on such inferiors?</p>
<p>Some libertarians flash to convince themselves that they are doing something for freedom. They mistake flamboyance for effectiveness, heat for light.</p>
<p>Still others flash to persuade themselves that nothing can be done for freedom. If people are shocked by libertarianism, then effort is futile. So why try? This is a beautiful example of a self-fulfilling prophecy.</p>
<p>The Late, Great Libertarian Macho Flash has its defenders, of course. They appeal to “honesty”, the Lenny Bruce argument, the Ayn Rand argument or the claim that it works. Each of these falls flat.</p>
<hr />
<p>The argument from “honesty” goes as follows: It’s dishonest to avoid subjects simply because they offend or shock people. As libertarians, we must put moral principles before political consequences. We must fearlessly proclaim our views and let the chips fall where they may.</p>
<p>This won’t do. First, if a person implies support for a belief that he doesn’t hold, he is deceiving others. But silence need not mean consent. Second, the purpose of a discussion or speech should determine what one talks about. Suppose an atheist ran for public office. Would a refusal to discuss religion be dishonest? Not necessarily. A speaker isn’t obliged to answer every question put to him — only the relevant ones warrant a response. What determines relevance? The nature of the office, the qualifications for holding it, and what the candidate will try to do if elected. Third, discussing irrelevant issues is misleading. It diverts attention from the real issues and suggests that the irrelevant subjects do matter. This is dishonest.</p>
<hr />
<p>The Lenny Bruce argument zeros in on the psychological impact of the macho flash. Lenny Bruce believed that frequent use of offensive and shocking words would reduce and ultimately extinguish their ability to evoke strong emotional reactions. If, for example “hell” and “damn” were used often enough, they would lose their power to trigger emotions.</p>
<p>Although true in the long run, this is irrelevant. Twenty years of effort that made America indifferent to libertarian views — rather than violently opposed — would be no victory. It’s like running a business deep in the red for 20 years to finally break even. What is the purpose of presenting libertarian ideas: to desensitize listeners to mere words and phrases, or to win agreement on substance? Flashing rarely produces agreement.</p>
<p>Are there any lingering doubts about this argument? Then consider the death of Lenny Bruce. The heroin overdose was incidental — he was hounded to death by those he flashed.</p>
<hr />
<p>Ayn Rand devised a far more ingenious defense of the libertarian macho flash. Rand was asked why she used “selfishness” to denote a virtuous quality when it antagonized so many people to whom it meant something quite different. The introduction to The Virtue of Selfishness contains her answer. Stated in general terms, it is clear that Rand’s attempted justification of her terminology applies to every instance of the macho flash.</p>
<p>Rand contended that the popular uses of a given term are no valid index of its correct meaning. A term must not include a built-in moral evaluation, she countered. If a person uses a term in an unconventional manner, perhaps the fault lies with the conventions rather than the speaker. In the name of man and morality, some terms must be saved from conventional abuses. The “exact and purest meaning” of a word should not be surrendered “to Man’s enemies, nor to the unthinking misconceptions, distortions, prejudices and fears of the ignorant and irrational.”</p>
<p>But consider. The meanings of words aren’t engraved in stone — they change and evolve. If people don’t adapt to changing meanings, they risk being misunderstood. Would Rand care to describe her political views as “liberal” simply because the term would have correctly described them a century ago? No? Then the point is conceded.</p>
<p>Ayn Rand was a virtuoso flasher. Ponder a few of her colorful phrases: “the virtue of selfishness”, “capitalism: the unknown ideal”, “America’s persecuted minority: Big Business”, “give a silent ‘Thank You’ to the nearest, grimiest, sootiest smokestacks you can find”, “the evil of self-sacrifice”, and “a parasite, moocher or looter.”</p>
<p>These phrases are guaranteed to stun the average person. Consider The Virtue of Selfishness. If Rand had been interested only in communicating certain ideas, she would have called her book “A Morality of Rational Self-Interest,” “The Case For Ethical Egoism,” or something equally restrained. But she intended to shock, attract attention and create controversy. As an author, she could afford to be attacked, but not ignored. Neither apathy nor enemies, however, make for libertarian success.</p>
<p>Contrary to Rand, many terms do carry built-in moral judgments. “Treason”, “greed”, “slander”, “Stinginess”, “kindness”, “generosity” and “blasphemy” are but a few examples.</p>
<p>There are, of course, many foolish conventions. But those who regularly flaunt them will pay a price. Far better to use a convention to further one’s views!</p>
<p>There are any number of ways to present a viewpoint. The choice of words and phrases can dramatically influence whether a position seems beautiful or hideous. A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a florist using offensive, ugly names for flowers will soon be out of business. Language can serve libertarian goals or oppose them.</p>
<hr />
<p>A final alleged advantage of The Late Great Libertarian Macho Flash is this: some people think it’s an effective way to persuade others.</p>
<p>This may be true in a limited number of cases. Defending the Undefendable — a textbook case of flashing — may “wake the reader from his dogmatic slumbers” or act like “Drano for clogged minds.” But would it be the best introduction to libertarianism? Not a chance!</p>
<p>Flashing should be tested against other methods of marketing libertarianism to the general public. How often does it work? Under which circumstances? What kind of people does flashing attract? This is crucial. If the macho flash attracts people who will be an embarrassment to the libertarian movement — people who alienate and antagonize, who are crude and ill-mannered — then it ought to be dropped. A political belief is often judged by those who hold it.</p>
<p>And what about the people it repels? Will they have open minds in the future, or are they now opponents?</p>
<hr />
<p>One final point. Some libertarians use the macho flash as a litmus test for potential converts. If the listener is alienated by a controversial view, he isn’t worth having. Or so these people would have us believe.</p>
<p>This ignores a basic fact of human psychology: changing one’s viewpoint usually takes time. Views that many libertarians take for granted today may have seemed ridiculous, insane or evil in the not-too-distant past. It took many years for even Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, John Hospers, Robert Nozick and Karl Hess to become full-blown libertarians. Thought, study, discussion, persuasion and time were necessary. And these people are very intelligent. So why does the macho flasher expect so much more from a chance listener?</p>
<p>Those who use the Libertarian Macho Flash usually discredit libertarianism. People tend to judge a body of beliefs on the basis of a few statements. If a Libertarian candidate presents ideas that are virulently offensive to an audience, the audience will assume that his other views are equally obnoxious. In social psychology, this is known as the “halo effect.”</p>
<p>Flashing makes enemies. It creates active opponents to liberty. Freedom has enough natural enemies — people who thrive on statism. Why create more through lack of tact?</p>
<p>A viewpoint may be accepted or rejected because of the speaker who presents it. If he is perceived as callous, against all decency, inhumane and disgusting, then he couldn’t possibly be in favor of anything worthwhile. This is a logical fallacy. It is also a psychological fact and not to be ignored.</p>
<p>I have personally field tested The Late, Great Libertarian Macho Flash. It is not simply unproductive; it is counter-productive. It makes future attempts at persuasion far more difficult. Liberty is the casualty.</p>
<hr />
<p>What can libertarians do to avoid flashing? Space forbids a lengthy reply, but I have a few suggestions.</p>
<p>Know who you are talking to and what they believe. Find out their emotional beltlines and stay above them.</p>
<p>Before speaking, ask: What are you trying to accomplish? How do you plan to do it? Will your plan promote your goals? Why or why not? Do not stand in the way of your own success.</p>
<p>If you flash because you enjoy the exhilaration, find other ways of getting kicks. When you do, you will be more emotionally satisfied and politically effective.</p>
<p>Become politically effective. This will eliminate the desire to prove that nothing can be done.</p>
<p>Devote your energies to finding more effective ways to bring others to the libertarian philosophy. There are too few persuasive libertarians, and becoming one is far nobler ambition than seeing how many hearts and minds you can close.</p>
<p>The Libertarian Movement has matured a great deal in the last few years. Bright, attractive people are the norm. It is time for our communication methods to come up to date. One step in that direction would be to discard The Late, Great Libertarian Macho Flash.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alrighty, folks… we’re back to our normal scheduling post-Thanksgiving!  I hope you all enjoyed our Throwback/Flashback episodes during the break.</p>
<p>My first guest after the break is Michael Autery!  Michael is a Lieutenant in the United States Naval officer and the host of the podcast “Unalienable”, which is all about the Constitution, what it means, and how it applies to current issues.  In Michael’s own words- “I swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, and I think of my podcast as an extension of that oath.”</p>
<p>Today’s episode focuses on the sometimes confusing relationship between libertarianism, our United States’ foreign policy, and those members of our armed forces.  Michael and I dig into these topics, discussing why members of the military tend to support those libertarian-leaning candidates (such as Ron and Rand Paul), why some service members turn towards the GOP post-service rather than the LP, and how libertarians can be more effective in recruiting these service members into our ranks.  We then conclude today’s episode with a discussion on the ignorance of the average voter and what we should do to address the very real problem that an ignorant voter-base does to our democratic-republic system of government. </p>
<p>Bio: Michael is a United States Naval officer (Lieutenant Junior Grade), becoming an officer in the spring of 2015. <br />
 He is also the host of the podcast “Unalienable”. Before the Naval Academy, he was an enlisted sailor (Petty Officer 3rd Class), serving a total of 9 years in the Navy (the last 4 as an officer).</p>
<p>Michael is also an amateur bodybuilder.  He has competed once before, and would like to compete again in the spring.  He also hope to one day run for Congress upon his leaving the Navy.  He has a total of two podcasts.  He started “Unalienable” in April of 2018 and started “Philosophication with Ginger and the Beard” with his friend in August of 2018.</p>

<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are hosts with Kade Koger and Chase Peyton as co-hosts. This episode is basically the guys reading the internet to each other. 95 percent of it is abuse of Chase for not being able to kill a deer, find a deer, or putting a ring on it. Most of the “manhands” comments will be funnier if you have a working knowledge of Seinfeld. Half the crew put of Christmas lights. Thanks to modern technology you can run the Griswold light show for $37 a year instead of $3800. And if you want real entertainment during the holidays, go down to the Rural King.

<p>Don’t name your kid ABCDE, don’t be a missionary in Indian without a plan, and the “Green New Deal” has mixed reviews from our expert panel.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s special “Flashback Friday” episode of The Brian Nichols Show, we swing back to the summer of 2017, back when I hosted the “Around the Republic Podcast” on Austin Petersen’s “The Libertarian Republic” network. During the summer of 2017, I had an interview series that was essentially the precursor to my current show here on the We Are Libertarians Network that you all know and love today.</p>
<p>Listen as I was joined by renowned radio personality and Mediate contributor John Ziegler to discuss bias in the media, “Trumpism,” and shared conservative and libertarian principles in the Age of Trump.</p>
<p>Bio: John Ziegler is a radio program host, documentary film writer/director, and journalist.  Ziegler’s most prominent work in radio has been as the evening host of a radio talk show called The John Ziegler Show on KFI AM 640 in Los Angeles, California.  He is currently a Mediaite Columnist, Talk Show Host (2-time Talkers Magazine Top 100), Filmmaker, and guest on several television shows. </p>

We chat about how you become a stand up now, life on the road, and what it is like to have a video with TEN MILLION views. Colin Kaepernick and the Nike’s have been VERY good to Brent. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris Spangle explains the many reasons the first World War still matters today. World War I unleashed a revolution of big government into the American system. We start with a general overview of World War I and its significance to those living 100 years later. He explains the 14 reasons why World War I took place and the striking parallels of today. Next, he outlines the many ways Woodrow Wilson expanded the federal government. We end with the fruit of the poisonous tree that was the Sykes-Picot agreement. Overall, this episode is the perfect explanation for why every libertarian must be anti-war.</p>

<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis host a wandering, fun episode of East Central Indiana’s favorite podcast. Recurring guest Mark Brim tells us about New Castle randomness…He saw John Voight’s car!</p>
<p>Jeremiah, Sara, and Chris covered the Veterans Day ceremonies, including the re-dedication of the Doughboy. Jeremiah had an incident at the BMV. Dakota was published, again. Chase Peyton showed up late. Somehow the conversation focuses on social media. Mark wants out, Chase has been on it since the beginning of time, Dakota had a My Space?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s #TBT episode, we swing back to the summer of 2017, back when I hosted the “Around the Republic Podcast” on Austin Petersen’s “The Libertarian Republic” network.  During the summer of 2017, I had an interview series that was essentially the precursor to my current show here on the We Are Libertarians Network that you all know and love today.</p>
<p>This #TBT episode has me chatting with Young Americans for Liberty’s Cliff Maloney Jr.  Cliff  is the President of Young Americans for Liberty (YAL), a non-profit youth organization based in Arlington, VA that boasts over 900 college chapters across the country. YAL’s mission is to identify, educate, train, and mobilize youth activists committed to winning on principle.</p>
<p>Listen as Cliff and I discuss his intro to the liberty movement, Young Americans for Liberty (YAL), and the “future” plans for YAL circa 2017.  </p>
<p>Bio: Before YAL, Cliff served as National Youth Director for the Rand Paul Presidential Campaign and built an apparatus of 507 “Students for Rand” chapters. He has built field programs for over 22 campaigns, including dog-catcher, state legislature, congress, senate, and presidential. Cliff has appeared on FOX Business and Reason TV. He has been published in TIME, The Hill, Huffington Post, and the Washington Examiner. Cliff enjoys empowering freedom activists to find the most productive ways to advance the principles of liberty.</p>

<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are joined by regular co-hosts Chase Peyton and Kade Koger to review the 2018 election results. They dig into the local election results, and the noted increase in straight ticket voting over previous years. Jeremiah had disappointing results in his race, however he did outperform most other Libertarian candidates across the country.</p>
<p>Finally, they discussed the doughboy refurbishment and the dedication of the monument that is set to happen this coming weekend. Chase has his ideas for the future of the old site.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        The opioid crisis has been in the news for a few years now and those to blame for it are many. Is it pharmaceutical companies who made easy to prescribe formulations of powerful pain killers? Is it physicians for over prescribing pain medicine for simple aches and pains? How about federal guidelines that encouraged the over treatment of pain? Or the creation of the fifth vital sign in the late 90’s that treated pain as important as heart rate.</p>

<h2>Key points</h2>
<p><strong>The spending is huge</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>The Center for Responsive Politics projects that more than $5.2 billion will be spent this election cycle, making it the most expensive midterm election ever by a wide margin.</p>
<p>With less than two weeks before election day, $4.7 billion has already been spent by candidates, political parties and other groups such as PACs, super PACs and nonprofits. Prior to this election cycle, no midterm election had surpassed more than $4.2 billion in spending when adjusted for inflation.</p>
<p><em>That includes third-party spending. – $460 million. $47 million in 2006. $281 million in 2014.</em></p>
<p>While Republican candidates are raising funds at record levels, the huge uptick in spending is driven primarily by unprecedented Democratic fundraising. Democratic candidates are projected to spend more than $2.5 billion this cycle, while Republicans are expected to spend approximately $2.2 billion.</p>
<p>Democratic House hopefuls have raised more than $951 million, crushing their Republican opponents’ $637 million haul. Things are closer in the Senate — $513 million to $361 million — but Democrats are still ahead.</p>
<p>In every kind of competitive race — even those in red districts — Democrats are either outraising Republicans or keeping pace.</p>
<p>For example, in 27 House races rated “Likely R” by Cook Political Report, Democrats are keeping up in fundraising, collecting $1.95 million on average to Republicans’ $2 million.</p>
<p>In 29 House races labeled “toss up” that are currently held by a Republican, Democratic candidates raised an average of $5.5 million, dwarfing the Republicans’ $3 million average.</p>
<p>Democratic candidates have benefitted from an unparalleled level of enthusiasm from female donors. Democrats running in the general election have raised $308 million from female donors, compared to approximately $90 million for Republicans.</p>
<p>Female Democratic Senate candidates — who are mostly made up of incumbents — hauled in an average of $5.3 million in contributions from women, accounting for 48 percent of their fundraising.</p>
<p>Individual contributors that list themselves as “retired” spent more than $298 million supporting candidates, parties and outside groups, nearly double what they spent in 2014. In total, 53 percent of funds coming from retired individuals and groups representing them went toward supporting Democrats.</p>
<p>Those in the education industry spent big this cycle to the tune of $71 million, 88 percent of which went to Democratic candidates. The sector spent just $34.4 million in 2014, with a smaller 74 percent of the money going to Democrats.</p>
<p>Health professionals also made a splash by spending double their 2014 total — approximately $140 million — with 57 percent aiding Democrats.</p>
<p>The Securities & Investment industry has spent at least $100 million more than in 2014 and has favored Democrats over Republicans — 52 to 46 percent — for the first midterm election cycle since 2006.</p>
<p>Contributions from several industries — including the liberal Public Sector Unions and the conservative Oil & Gas industry — either declined or flatlined when compared with the 2014 election.</p>
<p>Sheldon and Miriam Adelson are the biggest spenders so far this cycle, shelling out more than $113 million in support of Republican candidates. It’s the most the Las Vegas couple has spent in an election cycle, surpassing the $93 million they spent in 2012.</p>
<p>Tom Steyer comes in second place with nearly $51 million committed to helping Democrats. The billionaire environmentalist is not spending like he was in 2014 and 2016, when he was the top overall mega donor.</p>
<p>According to FEC data, Michael Bloomberg has so far fallen short of his promised $100 million in contributions to help Democrats win Congress. Still, his $38 million in support of Democrats is nothing to scoff at.</p>
<p>Lesser-known billionaire Richard Uihlein and his wife Elizabeth have spent more than $39 million in support of Republicans, good for third-most among mega donors.</p>

<blockquote><p>The Marion County Clerk says early and absentee voting in this year’s midterms is surpassing the 2016 Presidential election.</p>
<p>As of Friday, nearly 66,000 voters had voted early either in person or absentee. That’s more than 10 percent of the county’s registered voters.</p>
<p>That number was less than 42,000 at this time in 2016. And total voter turnout in the 2014 midterms was under 25 percent in the general election.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>President’s Approval Rating Usually Matters</strong></p>
<p>https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/?ex_cid=irpromo</p>
<p>https://www.axios.com/trumps-approval-rating-ahead-of-midterm-election-d7f3ae72-1745-4e50-800d-a95c017152ad.html – June 22, 2018</p>
<blockquote><p>President Trump has a 45% approval rating in the latest Gallup poll, the highest since late January, but it’s around the same percentage that past presidents had going into a midterm election in which they lost dozens of seats.</p>
<p>Why it matters: His approval increased by 1 percentage point each week in two previous polls, then it jumped up 3 points in the most recent poll. As the Cook Political Report’s Charles Cook writes: this 45% “needs to be the beginning of an upward trend through November if he hopes to salvage this House majority.”</p>
<p>Past presidents’ approval ratings going into the midterm elections:</p>
<p>Jimmy Carter: 49% approval in 1978. Democrats lost 15 House seats.<br />
Ronald Reagan: 43% in 1982. Republicans lost 26 House seats.<br />
Bill Clinton: 45% in 1994. Democrats lost 54 seats.<br />
Barack Obama: 45% in 2010. Democrats lost 63 seats.</p>
<p>Be smart: A 45% approval rating is on the high end for President Trump, but it’s still not a sign that the GOP will be in the clear come November, especially given that the North Korean summit contributed to the latest figure.</p></blockquote>
<p>Avg. Midterm Seat Loss 36 for Presidents Below 50% Approval<br />
Presidents above 50% lose average of 14 House seats in midterm elections<br />

</ul>
<p><strong>Listener suggested</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Marco Battaglia for Iowa Attorney General. “It’s only him vs. Democrat Incumbent.”</li>
<li>Mark West for Governor of Arkansas</li>
<li>John Pickerill in his Colorado Legislature race as well!</li>
<li>Kash Jackson for Governor and Claire Ball for comptroller…….Claire is the only candidate that is actually a certified accountant</li>
<li>Danny Lundy brown township board</li>
<li>Another race to look at John Yeutter for Oklahoma State Auditor and Inspector. It is just him and a Republican on the ticket.</li>
<li>Kriss DeForest “It’s probably a real long shot but we might be able to gain major party status with Jeff Caldwell in Gov of Kansas”</li>
<li>Ronnie Peterson – James Carstensen – Shreveport City Council</li>
<li>J Lee Miller Jr Yours truly for Oklahoma state house district 68. Lee for Liberty<br />
Open seat. Four-way race. Simple plurality for the win.</li>
<li>Matthew Brown – Roger Barris in House District 2 in Colorado has been quite entertaining.<br />
Doesn’t get invited to debates, shows up anyways, self-funded (retired entrepreneur), is fairly thoughtful in responses. Not sure how he’s polling, but he is making noise locally</li>
<li>Ryan Graham for Georgia Public Service Commission</li>
<li>Rick Brown – Madison County Indiana Treasurer</li>
<li>Jamie Jo Owens is running unopposed in Henry County, Indiana’s Liberty Township for a trustee position. So there is one win already. Terry Coffman will also be elected to the Liberty Township board in Henry County.</li>

<blockquote><p>This year the Tennessee November ballot has 28 candidates for Governor. There is one Republican, one Democrat, and 26 with the label “independent.” This is the largest number of candidates ever printed on a U.S. general election ballot for a statewide office, in a regularly-scheduled election. See the ballot here. The first page, the second page, and the third page, have nothing but gubernatorial candidates.</p>
<p>The chief reason there are so many is that the Tennessee Libertarian Party wanted to publicize how silly the state’s ballot access laws are. The state only requires 25 signatures for an independent candidate, but 33,844 signatures for a newly-qualifying party. So the party qualified 15 Libertarians to run as independents for Governor. There is also a Green Party candidate who qualified as an independent, and the remaining 10 are actual independents.</p></blockquote>

<h2>The House</h2>
<p><strong>Key for the Democrats:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Hit 225</li>
<li>Motivate young, independent voters to break their way.</li>
<li>Can Obamacare and anti-Trump sentiment motivate enough of the base?</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Keys for Republicans:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Can Immigration motivate voters?</li>
<li>Issues of Identity are motivating the base.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>From https://ballotpedia.org/U.S._House_battlegrounds,_2018</em></p>
<blockquote><p>Ballotpedia has identified 80 U.S. House battleground races: 71 Republican seats and nine Democratic seats. Heading into the elections, Republicans have a 235-193 majority with seven vacancies. To win a majority, Democrats need to have a net gain of 23 Republican seats.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party is well-positioned to gain seats, according to a 100-year historical analysis of House elections conducted by Ballotpedia and political scientist Jacob Smith. From 1918 to 2016, the president’s party lost an average of 29 seats in midterm elections. In the 20 percent of elections where the president lost the most seats—which Ballotpedia defined as wave elections—his party lost at least 48 seats.</p>
<p>The party of a newly elected president gained seats in the House in the following midterm only twice. Democrats gained nine seats in 1934 following Franklin D. Roosevelt’s (D) first presidential election in 1932, and Republicans gained eight seats in 2002 following George W. Bush’s (R) election to the presidency in 2000.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>What are the polling sites predicting?</strong></p>
<p>Five Thirty Eight predicts a 6 in 7 chance that the D’s win control (84.6%) with a predicted gain of 37. So it would be 232 to 202.</p>

<h2>Senate</h2>
<p>From https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_Senate_elections,_2018</p>
<blockquote><p>Thirty-five U.S. Senate seats, including two in special elections, are up for election on November 6, 2018.</p>
<p>Heading into the election, the Republican Party holds a 51-seat majority in the chamber. Democrats hold 47 seats, and the remaining two seats are held by independents who caucus with the Democratic Party.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party faces greater partisan risk in 2018, as they are defending 26 seats while Republicans are only defending nine. Additionally, the Democratic Party must defend seats in 10 states that supported Donald Trump (R) over Hillary Clinton (D) in the 2016 presidential election. Republicans are defending just one Senate seat in a state won by Clinton—Nevada.</p>
<p>Three incumbent senators, all Republicans, are not seeking re-election in 2018: Sen. Bob Corker (Tenn.), Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.), and Sen. Orrin Hatch (Utah).</p>
<p>Those elected to the U.S. Senate in the 33 regular elections on November 6, 2018, will begin their six-year terms on January 3, 2019.</p>
<p>There are 24 Democratic seats, nine Republican seats, and two seats held by independents up for election in 2018. The Democratic Party will need to pick up two seats in the Senate in 2018 to regain the majority they lost in 2014. This is unlikely as there are so few Republican seats up for election.</p></blockquote>

<p>Five Thirty Eight predicts a 1 in 7 chance that the D’s win control (15.3%) and Republicans will regain control with a 6 in 7 chance with an 85% certainty. They predict a one seat gain. It would be 48 to 52. It is currently 51 to 47 with 2 Independents caucusing with the Dems. RealClear Politics agrees with this assessment.</p>

<h2>Governors Races</h2>
<p>From – https://ballotpedia.org/Gubernatorial_elections,_2018</p>
<blockquote><p>In 2018, 36 states will hold elections for governor.</p>
<p>Heading into the election, the majority of governorships are held by Republicans, with 33 governorships to Democrats’ 16. Alaska Gov. Bill Walker is an independent. Of the 33 Republican-held seats, 26 are up for election, of which 13 are open. Of the 16 Democratic-held seats, nine are up for election, of which four are open.</p>
<p>Ballotpedia has identified 25 gubernatorial elections as battleground races. Of the 26 Republican-held seats up for election, 16 are battlegrounds, including 10 of the 13 open seats. Of the nine Democratic-held seats up for election, eight—all except Hawaii—are battlegrounds. Alaska’s independent-held seat is also a battleground.</p>
<p>Among the battleground races this year is the Illinois gubernatorial election between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrat J.B. Pritzker. Both candidates contributed over $50 million to their own campaigns. Between Election Day 2014 and October 25, 2018, Pritzker contributed $161.5 million to his own campaign while Rauner contributed $67.8 million to his run.[1][2] The overall fundraising in the election—$272.7 million—is higher than any other gubernatorial election in U.S. history, surpassing the 2010 California gubernatorial election’s $251.9 million fundraising total.[3]</p>
<p>In the Georgia race, former state House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams (D) is vying to become the first black woman to win a governor’s race in U.S. history. She faces Secretary of State Brian Kemp (R), who defeated four Republican rivals in the primaries and secured an endorsement from President Donald Trump.[4]</p>
<p>The nation’s only independent governor, Bill Walker of Alaska, suspended his re-election bid on October 19, 2018, after the resignation of his lieutenant governor and running mate Byron Mallott (D). Walker’s withdrawal set the stage for a contest between former Sen. Mark Begich (D) and former state Sen. Mike Dunleavy (R).</p>
<p>As of November 29, 2017, Ballotpedia had tracked 27 Libertarian gubernatorial candidates in 16 states.</p></blockquote>

<p><strong>Florida: Ron DeSantis vs. Andrew Gillum</strong></p>
<p><iframe title="Florida Governor’s Race: Andrew Gillum and Ron DeSantis" class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" src="https://www.nytimes.com/svc/oembed/html/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2018%2F11%2F02%2Fus%2Felections%2Fflorida-governor-election.html#?secret=HAqZRRBQWQ" data-secret="HAqZRRBQWQ" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>Both are 39-year-old.</p>
<blockquote><p>DeSantis is an Ivy League-educated Navy lawyer who joined the conservative House Freedom Caucus and became one of President Donald Trump’s most vociferous congressional defenders on Fox News.</p>
<p>At 23 years old, Gillum became Tallahassee’s youngest city commissioner before ascending to the mayorship, where he called for Trump’s impeachment and earned the backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders.</p>
<p>Frustrated Florida Democrats, who haven’t won a gubernatorial race since 1994, feel like they’ve got nothing left to lose by charting a different course with a candidate who demonstrated his ability in the primary to motivate younger and African-American voters.</p>
<p>https://www.usnews.com/news/the-report/articles/2018-09-07/2018s-5-biggest-governors-races</p></blockquote>

<p>Georgia: Stacey Abrams vs. Brian Kemp</p>
<blockquote><p>The 44-year-old former state House minority leader’s endeavor appears even tougher than Gillum’s, given that Republicans’ hold on the Peach State is even stronger than it is in Florida.</p>
<p>“Brian Kemp’s spent $2 million of his own defining himself better than we could have,” says Jared Leopold, spokesman for the Democratic Governors Association.</p>
<p>Kemp has said he’d sign religious freedom legislation vetoed by Deal that would’ve allowed faith-based institutions to deny services to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.</p>
<p>In Georgia, Democrats see a striking parallel to North Carolina, where backlash over the state’s bathroom bill requiring people use the facility that matches their assigned gender helped cost GOP Gov. Pat McCrory his re-election in 2016.</p>
<p>The campaign against Kemp will be that extreme cultural conservatism is bad for business.</p>
<p>But Abrams remains an underdog, simply because of the uphill math. She’ll need to yield record African-American turnout while also convincing a significant portion of suburban white voters outside of metropolitan Atlanta to abandon their Republican roots.</p>
<p>Georgia law also states that a candidate must get over 50 percent of the vote to win, meaning there’s a chance the race could head into an overtime runoff contest in December.</p>

<p>Scott Walker may lose in Wisconsin. Looking for a third term, but this is his fourth time on the ballot after a 2012 recall. Tony Evers is his opponent.</p>
<p><strong>What are the pollsters predicting?</strong></p>
<p>Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Kansas are all too close to call. Florida and Alaska are also very close. Ironically, the most likely Republican Gubernatorial pickup is in Massachusetts. In blue states like Maryland, Vermont, and New Hampsire the GOP is likely to win.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Liberty Memes, Censorship, and Elections, Oh My!</p>
<p>On today’s episode, Brian Nichols is joined by Matt Kibbe!  Kibbe is the President and Chief Community Organizer at Free the People, an educational organization turning the next generation on to the values of liberty. He is also an Executive Producer at CRTV, where he produces “The Deadly Isms” and “Kibbe on Liberty”.</p>
<p>First Aired on the Brian Nichols Show: <a href="https://briannichols.fireside.fm/matt-kibbe">https://briannichols.fireside.fm/matt-kibbe</a></p>
<p>Listen as we first start off discussing Matt’s first steps into libertarianism via the band Rush and their “2112” album, which pointed Matt towards the readings of Ayn Rand.  Next, we discuss the recent censorship on Facebook of popular libertarian page, “Liberty Memes” and what libertarians should do in response.</p>
<p>Next, we discuss Matt’s organization, “Free the People”, which is an educational organization turning the next generation on to the values of liberty by reaching those “liberty curious” through social media, video, and storytelling.  After that, we discuss how libertarians should vote in the 2018 midterms, strategic voting, and the “lesser of two evils” argument.  We also touch on two strong Libertarian campaigns in Gary Johnson for U.S. Senate in New Mexico and Larry Sharpe for Governor in New York.  </p>
<p>We start to conclude our conversation by discussing potential outcomes in the 2018 midterms, as well as how our nation will look after 2020 and 2024.  And finally, we wrap up our discussion by looking at Matt’s book, ” Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff: A Libertarian Manifesto.”</p>
<p>Matt’s Bio: Matt Kibbe is the President and Chief Community Organizer at Free the People, an educational organization turning the next generation on to the values of liberty. We reach the “liberty curious” through social media, video, and storytelling. Kibbe is also an Executive Producer at CRTV, where he produces “The Deadly Isms,” a documentary series about the dangers of all flavors of authoritarianism.</p>
<p>He is the Co-Founder and Partner at Fight the Power Productions, a strategic communications firm focused on video production, social media branding, and compelling storytelling.</p>
<p>He is also a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Austrian Economics Center in Vienna. In 2004 Kibbe founded FreedomWorks, where he served as President for 11 years. Steve Forbes said, “Kibbe has been to FreedomWorks what Steve Jobs was to Apple.”</p>
<p>Against his better judgment, Kibbe occasionally gets involved in politics, serving as Senior Advisor to a Rand Paul SuperPAC, and creating AlternativePAC to support liberty candidates. Back when Yoda was a teenager, Kibbe worked as Chief of Staff on Capitol Hill, as Budget Director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and at the Republican National Committee.</p>
<p>Dubbed “The Scribe” by the New York Daily News, Kibbe is most recently author of the #2 New York Times bestseller, Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff: A Libertarian Manifesto. In his spare time he appears on Old Media, including FOX News, MSNBC, CNN and HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher. Most of his best material is lifted from his three liberty-minded cats, Roark, Ragnar, and Rearden.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Something has been going wrong on many college campuses in the past few years. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and are afraid to speak honestly. How did this happen?</p>
<p>First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: (1) what doesn’t kill you makes you weaker, (2) always trust your feelings, and (3) life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths are incompatible with basic psychological principles as well as ancient wisdom from many cultures. They interfere with healthy development. Anyone who embraces these untruths—and the resulting culture of “safetyism”—is less likely to become an autonomous adult able to prosper in a free society.</p>
<p>Lukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to produce these untruths. They place the conflicts on campus in the context of America’s rapidly rising political polarization, including a rise in hate crimes and off-campus provocation. They explore changes in childhood, including the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the past decade. </p>

Lil’ ole’ outrageous me. I’ve been banned once before, so the previous protocol would be a 3-day ban… But midterms are coming up and Zuckerberg has pledged to clean up the site. That means troublemakers like myself are being banned past the midterms. So what did I do?</p>
<p>The given reason was a comment on the WAL Page a week ago saying that their argument was the equivalent of a Good German saying that Jews may have been the problem. This was a historical argument over language that was labeled as hate speech by Facebook. I’ve been put in timeout to reflect on my behavior, and I’ve determined I did nothing wrong.</p>
<p>The real reason in my mind would be my interviews with and posts about Liberty Memes being taken down. Within 24 hours of my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WeAreLibertarians/videos/325914181526775/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.facebook.com/WeAreLibertarians/videos/325914181526775/">Facebook Live</a> with Peter Gay, I was banned for a comment made a week ago. We <a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/wal-daily-11-liberty-memes-speaks-an-interview-with-david-and-peter-gay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-cke-saved-href="https://wearelibertarians.com/wal-daily-11-liberty-memes-speaks-an-interview-with-david-and-peter-gay/">posted our interview </a>in many places and it was shared many times.</p>
<p>Over the last week, I have reconsidered my thinking on leaving the platform. I think libertarians have to be lions in the face of censorship. When one of us is censored, 100 more need to pop up and spread the word. When one page is taken down, we need to build networks to repopulate those pages with a record speed. We need to make Silicon Valley feel the power of the libertarian voice. It will be necessary to have the cooperation of many factions within the libertarian movement. Some libertarian brands may need to promote or share content from other libertarian brands they find disagreeable. If you follow a page, independent media outlet, or a libertarian blog, encourage the owners to share replacement pages like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LibertyMemes2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.facebook.com/LibertyMemes2/">Liberty Memes 2.0</a>. It is necessary to maintain the libertarian voice in the public square.</p>
<p>Now that I am on their radar, it is only a matter of time before my ability to communicate to you through Facebook is taken away for good. That is why it is so important to subscribe to all of our social platforms below, our podcasts, and this email list. Bookmark the websites. Donate on Patreon because it costs money to diversify our voice.</p>
<p>Libertarianism flourished before social media and it will flourish long after it because our ideas are right. Just keep talking.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I am joined by a familiar face (or voice, rather) or the We Are Libertarians Network- Chloe Anagnos!  Chloe is a writer and digital marketer and has been a contributor for the American Institute for Economic Research<br />
(AIER) since 2017.   Her work has been the subject of articles in FOX News, The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE), USA Today, CNN Money, and WIRED.  She has been a writer, commentator, and panelist for media outlets around the country on subjects like political marketing, campaigning, and social media.  She is also the Chapter Leader for AFF-Indianapolis.</p>
<p>Chloe and I start our conversation today discussing our roles in AFF (America’s Future Foundation) in both Indianapolis and Philadelphia, respectively.   AFF is a professional development network for individuals who believe in the power of personal liberty, entrepreneurship, and innovation, channeled through free-markets, to promote positive social change.  AFF events bring together like-minded advocates in with each respective community to network, learn from each other, discuss key issues, and ultimately collaborate to improve themselves and the city as a whole.</p>
<p>Both Indy and Philly AFF-chapters held seminars in recent months discussing the impacts of the opioid epidemic and the free-market solutions that are available to help mitigate the situation.  Chloe and I discuss these AFF events at length, which then leads us to a more generic discussion about healthcare and the free-market solutions that are out there to help “fix” our broken healthcare system. </p>

<p>“Featuring the author <strong>Stephen M. Walt</strong>, Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School, and Contributing Editor, <em>Foreign Policy</em> magazine; with comments by <strong>Stephen Wertheim</strong>, Visiting Scholar, Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies, and Visiting Assistant Professor in History, Columbia University; moderated by <strong>Christopher Preble</strong>, Vice President of Defense and Foreign Policy Studies, Cato Institute.</p>
<p>At the end of the Cold War, the United States was confident that it stood on the precipice of a new era of peace and prosperity as the world’s sole superpower. U.S. leaders adopted a strategy of primacy, aimed at discouraging others from challenging American power, and they sought to spread democracy and liberal economics within an American sphere of influence that encompassed most of the world. Today, relations with Russia and China have deteriorated, nationalist movements are on the rise, and the European Union seems unsteady at best.</p>
<p>In his new book, <em>The Hell of Good Intentions</em>, Stephen Walt traces many of these problems to the flaws inherent in primacy. U.S. power has allowed policymakers to pursue ambitious foreign policy goals, even when those goals are unnecessary or doomed to fail. And yet, despite many setbacks, an entrenched foreign policy elite retains its faith in liberal hegemony. Join us at noon on Wednesday, October 17, as Walt explores these ideas and outlines the case for a fresh, new approach to American foreign policy based on realism and restraint.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Liberty Memes, Censorship, and Elections, Oh My!</p>
<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by Matt Kibbe!  Kibbe is the President and Chief Community Organizer at Free the People, an educational organization turning the next generation on to the values of liberty. He is also an Executive Producer at CRTV, where he produces “The Deadly Isms” and “Kibbe on Liberty”.</p>
<p>Listen as we first start off discussing Matt’s first steps into libertarianism via the band Rush and their “2112” album, which pointed Matt towards the readings of Ayn Rand.  Next, we discuss the recent censorship on Facebook of popular libertarian page, “Liberty Memes” and what libertarians should do in response.</p>
<p>Next, we discuss Matt’s organization, “Free the People”, which is an educational organization turning the next generation on to the values of liberty by reaching those “liberty curious” through social media, video, and storytelling.  After that, we discuss how libertarians should vote in the 2018 midterms, strategic voting, and the “lesser of two evils” argument.  We also touch on two strong Libertarian campaigns in Gary Johnson for U.S. Senate in New Mexico and Larry Sharpe for Governor in New York.  </p>
<p>We start to conclude our conversation by discussing potential outcomes in the 2018 midterms, as well as how our nation will look after 2020 and 2024.  And finally, we wrap up our discussion by looking at Matt’s book, ” Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff: A Libertarian Manifesto.”</p>
<p>Matt’s Bio: Matt Kibbe is the President and Chief Community Organizer at Free the People, an educational organization turning the next generation on to the values of liberty. We reach the “liberty curious” through social media, video, and storytelling. Kibbe is also an Executive Producer at CRTV, where he produces “The Deadly Isms,” a documentary series about the dangers of all flavors of authoritarianism.</p>
<p>He is the Co-Founder and Partner at Fight the Power Productions, a strategic communications firm focused on video production, social media branding, and compelling storytelling.</p>
<p>He is also a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Austrian Economics Center in Vienna. In 2004 Kibbe founded FreedomWorks, where he served as President for 11 years. Steve Forbes said, “Kibbe has been to FreedomWorks what Steve Jobs was to Apple.”</p>
<p>Against his better judgment, Kibbe occasionally gets involved in politics, serving as Senior Advisor to a Rand Paul SuperPAC, and creating AlternativePAC to support liberty candidates. Back when Yoda was a teenager, Kibbe worked as Chief of Staff on Capitol Hill, as Budget Director for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and at the Republican National Committee.</p>
<p>Dubbed “The Scribe” by the New York Daily News, Kibbe is most recently author of the #2 New York Times bestseller, Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff: A Libertarian Manifesto. In his spare time he appears on Old Media, including FOX News, MSNBC, CNN and HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher. Most of his best material is lifted from his three liberty-minded cats, Roark, Ragnar, and Rearden.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris Spangle warned months ago that Alex Jones was the canary in the coal mine and that mainstream libertarian voices would be next. Today, Liberty Memes was banned. He discusses the ramifications. Since Facebook says they are cracking down on “inauthentic voices,” we replay our interview with the admins of this Facebook page. Neither are Russians. Neither are dangerous. They just love liberty and memes. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tom Ferkinhoff joins the guys in studio for his candidate interview. Tom is Jeannine Lee Lake’s favorite Libertarian and is running against her and Greg Pence for Indiana’s 6th Congressional District. Jeremiah Morrell and Tom talk a bit about his background, his hobbies, and what inspired his to join the race. Tom originally planned to run as a Republican, before discovering the Libertarian Party and how closely he aligns with their views. Tom is now the Wayne County party chairman.</p>
<p>Dakota Davis asks Tom about his campaign issues, which can be found at ferkinhoff2018.com. Sit back, and listen to Tom’s views on entitlement spending, taxes, tariffs, and healthcare. Tom tells the voters why he believes himself to be the best candidate for congress in this race. Chase Peyton asks a series of questions, including, which state Tom would get rid of if he had the choice. Chase and Dakota picked Ohio. Sorry, buckeyes.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined by Nicholas Veser!  Veser is best known for his role at Being Libertarian, doing his “Daily Headline” videos (among others), but has well over a decade experience in media production. </p>
<p>Today, Nick joins me to discuss how we can market liberty to those outside the libertarian echo chambers.  Sometimes, we have a habit of over-complicating our messaging and arguing about things that simply don’t matter to those outside of our libertarian circles.  Together, we discuss ways to break out of our echo chambers via grassroots and digital media and how to make liberty win again!</p>

<p>Bio: J. Nicholas Veser began his career at an early age on stage and in front of the camera. During his attendance at West Virginia University on a full theatre scholarship, he became interested in hospitality and worked in the industry while performing on Equity stages throughout the Northeast. His creative and leadership strengths eventually landed him Director of Business Travel Sales for The Ritz Carlton, Battery Park in Manhattan. Soon after, he was drawn to the warm weather and endless opportunity of television in South Florida. He began his career with an International Media Company as a Creative Director and ultimately became the Senior Producer for several shows produced by the company. In 2008, he was promoted to Senior Vice President of Production where he thrived in the free and creative environment that he created for the many Scriptwriters, Production Coordinators, Editors, Traffic Coordinators, and Directors of Photography. Under his leadership, the team achieved tremendous success including 32 Telly Awards won over a 5-year span. In 2014, Nicholas left his career in Production after 11 years to own and operate a successful tech company.</p>
<p>Although any degree of success is not without its fair share of challenges in 2015 he was faced with his most difficult hurdle yet when an unethical Florida Attorney General crippled his small family owned tech company. This only served to strengthen his resolve and he along with his wife Dawn have now become champions of the Liberty Movement in this country. Big business, political donations, and corruption led to the fight of their lives, and they have made a conscious decision to stand up in the face of injustice until the truth is revealed. Through all of his success and adversity he still considers his greatest achievement to be his 6-year-old son Ryan.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 81 of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis continue the fan favorite candidate series with Jeannine Lee Lake, candidate for Congress.  Tonight’s episode is sponsored by Big Bounce of New Castle. In the co-host seat is New Castle City Councilman, Aaron Dicken.</p>
<p>We learn about Jeannine’s interest in politics, the chance meeting with David Letterman and how it helped power her to a win in a crowded primary.  This race has been marked by a lack of public appearances and debates by the GOP nominee, Greg Pence, seeking to fill the seat once held by his brother, Vice President Mike Pence.</p>
<p>Topics include transparency, energy, education, civil liberties, civil rights, agriculture, tariffs, and much more!</p>
<p>Note – all candidates on the ballot were invited to join the program, Tom Ferkinhoff will be joining us next week. Greg Pence has declined our invitation, but if their campaign changes their mind, our door is always open.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by Michael T. Hutchins, author of Irreconcilable Politics: Our Rights Under a Just Government.  Michael was trained as an economist and has over thirty years of experience in finance.  Much of his career was in investment banking at Salomon Brothers and UBS.  He is currently the executive vice president at Freddie Mac, responsible for the investments and capital markets division.  Hutchins earned his PhD in economics from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.  </p>
<p>In Irreconcilable Politics, Michael explores successful models in which differing political views exist yet do not impinge on agreements being reached, and also dissects the dynamics of modern social decision-making.</p>
<p>Listen as we discuss the theory of “collectivity,” needed reform to government structure, and modern social decision-making in the 21st century.  Later, we discuss the concepts of voluntary government and the interrelationship between political ideology and centralized governmental decisions.  </p>
<p>We conclude by taking a closer look at collective rules, services, and decisions, and why voting, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press are not in and of themselves sufficient control rights for citizens of a diverse country like the United States and discuss how our divided nation struggling to reach political agreement and how the structure of the federal and state governments interfere with this effort.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 80 of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis host the kick off episode of the fan favorite candidate series.  Tonight’s episode is sponsored by Wieland’s flowers, Henry Counties favorite florist!</p>
<p>We are joined by candidates from the 3rd Henry County Council district, Dakota Clark and Jesse Riddle.</p>
<p>Topics include transparency in county government, the future of the jail, parks, and the future of our county budget. We even went the extra step and asked the candidates to identify something that they liked about those in their race, and those already serving. Are you satisfied with their answers?</p>
<p>Note – all candidates on the ballot were invited to join the program, Peg Stefandel declined the invitation, and referred voters back to her appearance on episode 55.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode, I’m joined the Republican candidate for the New York State 116th Assembly District, Mark Walczyk!   </p>
<p>Mark attended the University of Albany, Graduating in 2007 with a Bachelor’s degree in History and double minors in Political Science and Education.  He is First Lieutenant in the United States Army Reserve and has spent the past decade working with New York State Senator Patty Ritchie, spending more than two years as her Legislative Director and the last four and a half years as her District Director.</p>
<p>Listen as we discuss Mark’s platform that focuses on bringing jobs back to the North Country, addressing the opioid epidemic, and fixing Upstate’s crumbling infrastructure.  Later, we discuss the New York State education system, the problem with democratic-socialism, and conclude by looking at Mark’s 8 (well… 9) Rules for Government.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I am joined yet again by Remso Martinez!  He I the author of “Stay Away From The Libertarians!” and is best known for his podcast, the “Remso Republic”.</p>
<p>Censorship and deplatforming of conservatives and libertarians once sounded like a conspiracy theory.  But in recent months, we’ve watched as the likes of Alex Jones, InfoWars, and even Gavin McInnes have been banned from social media giants like Facebook and Twitter.  Jones and his conspiracy theory site, InfoWars.com were often thought to be the only target of these media giants, however, listen as Remso and I discuss his own experience with targeted attempts by leftists and social media platforms to silence his work and pages.  </p>
<p>If there’s one thing to take away from today’s episode, it’s that targeted censorship of right-leaning voices isn’t exclusive to conspiracy theorists and provocateurs… it can happen to anyone… even you!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 78 of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are joined by co-host Chase Peyton this week. Our featured guest is Donya Lester, recently retired from the Purdue College of Agriculture as the Director of Public Engagement and the Executive Director of Purdue University College of Agriculture’s Alumni Association.</p>
<p>Donya explains how Purdue University fits in as a land grand university, and the way that integrates into our daily lives, with regard to research and getting that research into our local communities. Absolutely fascinating conversation, ranging from food security, crop research, opioid addiction and much more.</p>
<p>Additionally, we explore the new sidewalks in southern New Castle, are they a giant waste, or a great thing? We talk about a potential new movie theatre in our community. Finally we learn about Chase’s trip to Chicago and if he followed Jeremiah & Dakota’s advice. </p>

<p>Original Post: <a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/87">https://bosshog.fireside.fm/87</a></p>
<p>Episode 77 features We Are Libertarian’s own Dear Leader, Chris Spangle. Chris runs and founded the WAL network that syndicates Boss Hog of Liberty. He stopped by to record the first episode in the brand new studio, made possible by our Patreon donors.</p>
<p>Chris and Dakota talk about the reason Hooters restaurant is not performing well with Millennials. Is it really because men our age don’t like women the same as generations before us? Or are Millennial men more respectful of women because of the #MeToo era we live in? Dakota thinks that the buffalo shrimp is lacking. What do you think?</p>
<p>Jeremiah and Chris talk about the rise of podcasts and Chris’s new show, The Chris Spangle Show. CSS is a daily, center of the spectrum news show. This week, Chris may have accidentally been involved in a North Korean Propaganda photo shoot. The story is hilarious, listen as Chris recounts his moment of horror in Indianapolis.</p>
<p>Finally, we are joined by Chase Peyton and Kade Koger. Chase had the most offensive shirt printed that he could think of. If he thought our “baby boomer” fans disliked him before, just wait until you see this.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I am joined by Steve Horwitz!  Steve is the Distinguished Professor of Free Enterprise in the Department of Economics at Ball State University in Muncie, IN.  </p>
<p>Listen as Steve and I discuss a number of economic topics, starting with an in-depth discussion on minimum wage, universal basic income (UBI), automation, and artificial intelligence.  Next, we discuss trade in the era of Trump, focusing specifically on the differences between “free-trade” vs “fair-trade” and the dangers of economic nationalism.  We conclude today’s episode with a critique of democratic socialism while presenting a realistic libertarian alternative.</p>
<p>“There’s no secret free trader hiding deep in Trump. He is what he appears to be. There is no depth to Donald J. Trump.” -Steve Horwitz</p>
<p>More about Steve: Steve is also an Affiliated Senior Scholar at the Mercatus Center in Arlington, VA, and a Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute of Canada.  He is the author of three books, including most recently Hayek’s Modern Family: Classical Liberalism and the Evolution of Social Institutions.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I am joined by Keith Rubino!  Keith is the Democratic Party candidate for the 118th Assembly District in Northern New York.  He has a degree in communications from SUNY Oswego and he’s been employed by A.R.C. Herkimer, Upstate Cerebral Palsy, and currently working at Central New York DSO to care for people with special disabilities.</p>
<p>Yes, Keith a Democrat… a Bernie Sanders supporting Democrat at that!  But that didn’t stop us from having an absolutely phenomenal discussion about the issues that New York State is facing.  Listen as we discuss Keith’s support of democratic socialism (and my rebuttal), welfare, universal education, universal healthcare, and the value of putting people over party.</p>
<p>This episode is the exact reason I started The Brian Nichols Show.  Having Keith on allowed us to have an intelligent, respectful conversation despite our differences and actually have an opportunity to find some common ground.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis host the final (we think) episode of BHOL from the Davis home studio. To help close it out, Chase Peyton and Audrey Jo Davis sit in the studio.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="560" height="80" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://fireside.fm/s/-uqXl4Nl+diyVLvcP/iframe"></iframe></p>
<p>Darrin Jacobs comes by to educate us on what a county planning commission actually does, and their role in creating ordinances. Darrin also serves as the President of the Spiceland town council. Dakota and Darrin nerd out over electric delivery methods.</p>
<p>Darrin shows off this green thumb and brought in some homegrown ghost peppers. Against all medical advice, everyone in the studio ate a pepper… We will warn you… It is a great video, but some less than ideal podcast audio. Make sure you watch the YouTube video for the full experience at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmZdcDlRmfU&t=40m0s.</p>
<p>Finally, the guys try to get through a conversation about the US Senate race… And then Jeremiah got a bad idea to eat another pepper. That pretty much ended things. This one is memorable. </p>

					<description><![CDATA[Stop being manipulated. ]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By <a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/313-everything-is-awesome-and-no-one-cares/">every measurable standard</a>, the world is improving for its inhabitants. With less war, disease, and famine, over 7 billion <a href="https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/americas/2018-08-14/against-identity-politics">humans</a> can survive on a planet using less land for agriculture while producing more. There has never been a safer time to be alive in human history.</p>
<p>So why do we feel like everything is terrible?</p>
<p>It’s due to a concerted effort from demagogues within colleges, media, and politics to make us think things are terrible to create multiple crises. It is easier to control a population when that population is emotional and angry.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Propaganda is to democracy what violence is to dictatorship.” – Noam Chomsky</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Why does the left focus on identity politics (and now the Trump wing of the right)?</p>
<p>Given the stability of the world, there aren’t egregious, large-scale societal issues of poverty, injustice, and government oppression in America. I’m not arguing that all of our problems are solved because there are still many societal imbalances in our economy and criminal justice system. They aren’t as apparent as zero registered African-American voters in all of Mississippi or substantial portions of Americans not having access to power and sewage as in the 1950s.</p>
<p>In the absence of evident crises, radicals must create discord to provoke society into action. Take this quote from Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals (Alinsky was a 1960’s political figure that worked for the mob and decided to translate their tactics to modern politics. Hillary Clinton wrote her senior thesis on his ideas):</p>
<blockquote><p>“Men don’t like to step abruptly out of the security of familiar experience; they need a bridge to cross from their own experience to a new way. A revolutionary organizer must shake up the prevailing patterns of their lives agitate, create disenchantment and discontent with the current values, to produce, if not a passion for change, at least a passive, affirmative, non-challenging climate.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In other words, manipulate people through propaganda and political action to make regular people believe things are terrible, so they will try to solve the problems you’ve made up by giving you control over their lives. If they don’t become an ally, then ensure they can’t or won’t speak up and oppose you. For more on those tactics, <a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/css-16-first-they-banned-alex-jones-joe-rogan-will-be-next/">click here.</a></p>
<p>There are very real imbalances in our society for women and minorities. These realities have been exploited by political opportunists on both sides to galvanize their base and create an “us vs. them” mentality. Instead of using language that brings together the multiple parties to solve an issue like gun violence or the unjust warehousing of the poor under the guise of the drug war, thought leaders at media outlets, think tanks, advocacy groups, political organizations, and universities do what demagogues have done for the whole of human history: protect their interests by dividing the population in an effort to maintain power.</p>
<p>Those biased towards the left must do a better job of examining their language, and the effect that weaponizing intersectionality has had on America.</p>
<p>Those biased more towards the right have to avoid reactionary behavior and turning away from real problems just because they “feel leftist.”</p>
<p>The good news is that while individual humans continue to be their own worst enemy, the expansion of liberty and free markets has allowed the species as a whole to live better lives. We should start getting out of our way and work together to avoid feeling miserable when there’s little reason for it.</p>

There is a pattern for the destruction of independent media figures like Milo Yiannopoulos , Gavin McInnes, Jordan Peterson, and Alex Jones. This article is the beginning for Rogan.</p></p>
<p>Here is the pattern:</p>
<ol>
<li>A millennial, liberal blogger posts a dishonest representation of a media personality. </li>
<li>Other liberal bloggers Tweet or re-blog the piece echoing the falsehoods. </li>
<li>Media Matters begins monitoring the personality. They take past and future statements out of context. </li>
<li>Newspapers report on the personality’s out-of-context statements under the guise of “danger to democracy.”</li>
<li>Op-Ed writers and cable news talking heads debate the morality of the out-of-context, false comments. This debate spills over to social media and becomes totally detached from the original content. The repetition makes it true to the majority of people.</li>
<li>Journalists begin asking public figures if it is appropriate to appear on the program using social proof to make it seem dangerous or wrong. CEOs of social platforms are asked to denounce the media figure. This makes company lawyers, shareholders, and vain CEOs panic over the bad press. </li>
<li>Wait for the most convenient “controversy” to be created by this system to justify the removal of the media figure.</li>
<li>It is at this point that the figure is abandoned by employers, sponsors, corporations, allies, and friends that aren’t willing to be subjected to the appearance of support for whatever fake hate speech or violence that the narrative pushes. The chilling effect causes members of the media figure’s echo chamber to self-censor.</li>
<li>The population has been so thoroughly propagandized that they don’t protest the action which encourages the censors to move to the next victim. </li>
<li>The system is then applied to an ever-increasing amount of figures that politically disagree with the network of liberal writers at click-bait mills like Mediaite, HuffPo, Raw Story, and Buzzfeed. </li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I am joined by Jeremy Kauffman!  Jeremy is the founder and CEO of LBRY.io and recently joined the Board of Directors of The Free State Project.</p>
<p>Listen as we start off our discussion by focusing on LBRY.io.   LBRY.io is Jeremy’s New Hampshire-based blockchain company that produces and maintains a decentralized content sharing and publishing platform.  We also touch on Jeremy’s previous venture, TopScore, which is a startup Jeremy founded that processes millions of dollars monthly in event and activity registrations.  </p>
<p>During the last half of the show, Jeremy and I discuss The Free State Project.  The Free State Project is a mass migration of more than 20,000 people who have pledged to move to New Hampshire for liberty.  By concentrating their numbers in a single state, their goal is to maximize their impact as activists, entrepreneurs, community builders, and thought leaders.</p>
<p>Free Staters are neighborly, productive folks from all walks of life, of all ages, creeds, and colors, who are on a mission to prove that more liberty leads to more prosperity for everyone. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 76 of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis host the final (we think) episode of BHOL from the Davis home studio. To help close it out, Chase Peyton and Audrey Jo Davis sit in the studio.</p>
<p>Darrin Jacobs comes by to educate us on what a county planning commission actually does, and their role in creating ordinances. Darrin also serves as the President of the Spiceland town council. Dakota and Darrin nerd out over electric delivery methods.</p>
<p>Darrin shows off this green thumb and brought in some homegrown ghost peppers. Against all medical advice, everyone in the studio ate a pepper… We will warn you… It is a great video, but some less than ideal podcast audio. Make sure you watch the YouTube video for the full experience at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmZdcDlRmfU&t=40m0s" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmZdcDlRmfU&t=40m0s</a>.</p>
<p>Finally, the guys try to get through a conversation about the US Senate race… And then Jeremiah got a bad idea to eat another pepper. That pretty much ended things. This one is memorable. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hearings begin today for President Trump’s Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh.</p>
<p>John Stossel wonders whether Kavanaugh will be good for liberty. </p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a09LfTFCHTs" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe><span id="more-28366"></span></p>
<p>Libertarians are right to worry.  Kavanaugh has shown deference to government when it spies on people.</p>
<p>In one case, Kavanaugh allowed the government’s “metadata collection program”, in which the government stored phone data on millions of Americans. </p>
<p>Kavanaugh even went out of his way give comments on that case, saying the metadata program “serves a critically important special need—preventing terrorist attacks on the United States.”</p>
<p>But a government report later found that: “we are aware of no instance in which the program directly contributed to … disruption of a terrorist attack.”</p>
<p>Yes, says Ilya Shaprio, the CATO Institute’s senior fellow in constitutional studies, Kavanaugh disagrees with libertarians on national security. But on just about every other issue, Kavanaugh would likely advance liberty.</p>
<p>Shapiro notes that Kavanaugh is one of the best judges in the country at opposing government regulation on individuals and companies. As a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, Kavanaugh tried to strike down lots of regulations: net neutrality, EPA admissions rules, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.  He didn’t always succeed, but he argued that they were all bureaucratic overreaches. </p>
<p>Shapiro tells Stossel that Kavanaugh would also likely overturn the “Kelo” eminent domain decision, which allowed governments to take private property for nearly any reason.</p>
<p>Kavanaugh is also good on gun rights. Citing the 2nd Amendment, he tried to overturn a DC ban on all semi-automatic rifles.</p>
<p>The left fears Kavanaugh mostly for other reasons. Protestors shout “hell no, Kavanaugh” at rallies. Senator Kristen Gillibrand warns: “What’s at stake is freedom for LGBTQ Americans, for equal rights, for civil rights.”</p>
<p>Senator Bernie Sanders warns he would “tell women they don’t have the constitutional right to control their own bodies.”</p>
<p>But their biggest fears are misplaced, Shaprio tells Stossel. Kavanaugh is unlikely to change rulings on Roe v. Wade and gay marriage, because he and Chief Justice John Roberts respect precedent, especially if changing it would disrupt people’s lives.</p>
<p>The left can breathe easier on those things, says Shapiro, but he notes that Kavanaugh will likely overturn one thing that is dear to the left: affirmative action.</p>
<p>“Kavanaugh could provide the 5th vote to overturn that 40-year-old experiment with using racial preferences to promote some kind of nebulous diversity.”  </p>
<p>Should libertarians be happy with Kavanaugh overall, Stossel asks?</p>
<p>“Definitely,” Shapiro says. “He’s not going to agree with us all the time, certainly. But no judges or justices do.”</p>
<p>The views expressed in this video are solely those of John Stossel; his independent production company, Stossel Productions; and the people he interviews. The claims and opinions set forth in the video and accompanying text are not necessarily those of Reason.</p>

<h1>News</h1>
<p><strong>“Trump personally lobbying GOP senators to flip on Sessions”</strong></p>
<p>President Donald Trump is venting about Attorney General Jeff Sessions to “any senator who will listen,” according to a Republican Senate aide. Trump in recent days has personally lobbied Senate Republicans to flip on Sessions. “The president … finally got traction on Capitol Hill thanks to the growing frustration of a handful of GOP senators with their former colleague — most importantly, Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley and South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham, who have been irritated by Sessions’ opposition to a criminal justice reform bill they support,” Eliana Johnson and Elana report.</p>
<p>“Trump has come to resent him for other reasons,” they write, “griping to aides and lawmakers that the attorney general doesn’t have the Ivy League pedigree the president prefers, that he can’t stand his Southern accent and that Sessions isn’t a capable defender of the president on television — in part because he ‘talks like he has marbles in his mouth,'” the president has told aides.” White House aides say the impetus for Trump’s latest push to oust Sessions was last week’s dual convictions of former lawyer Michael Cohen and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.</p>

<p><strong>How McCain Got the Last Word Against Trump</strong></p>
<p>The late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) planned out his farewell tour before his death. Soon after learning of his terminal brain cancer last summer, he began holding weekly meetings in his Capitol Hill office with trusted aides to discuss his funeral. “He obsessed over the music, selecting the Irish ballad ‘Danny Boy’ and several patriotic hymns,” The New York Times’ Michael D. Shear and Katie Rogers report. “He choreographed the movement of his coffin from Arizona, his home state, to Washington. And in April, when he knew the end was coming, he began reaching out to Republicans, Democrats and even a Russian dissident with requests that they deliver eulogies and serve as pallbearers.”</p>
<p>“By the time he died on Saturday, Mr. McCain had carefully stage-managed a four-day celebration of his life — but what was also an unmistakable rebuke to President Trump and his agenda,” they continue. “In death, Mr. McCain found a way to have the last word, even quietly making it clear through friends that Mr. Trump was not welcome at the services.” McCain’s memorial events began this week. He lay in state at the Arizona Capitol on Wednesday. A memorial is scheduled at North Phoenix Baptist Church today. Then his casket will fly to Washington, D.C., where McCain will lie in state inside the Capitol’s rotunda</p>
<p>McCain’s closest friends say he had little respect for Trump but didn’t hold a personal grudge against him. That lack of respect, however, was mutual. McCain requested that Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama speak at his funeral, while Trump wasn’t invited. “Inside the White House, the president’s aides briefly considered the optics of hosting events — including Thursday’s [campaign] rally [in Indiana] just as the senator’s body is scheduled to be in transit to Washington — but decided that they could not hold up White House proceedings for several days,” they write.</p>

<p><strong>Rand Paul’s Criminal Justice Reform Poll</strong></p>
<p>Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is set to join criminal justice reform advocates today to release new polling that highlights the issue’s popularity in his home state — which he shares with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has vowed to move ahead on the issue after the midterms if a whip count reveals that a bipartisan deal can clear the Senate. Huddle got a first look at the poll, sponsored by Justice Action Network and conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, which shows that 70 percent of Kentucky voters support bringing any Trump-backed deal on prison and sentencing changes to a Senate vote, with majorities in all partisan affiliations giving no pushback to McConnell on the issue.</p>

<p><strong>US rejects UN court jurisdiction over Iran sanctions case</strong><br />
Source: Al Jazeera [Qatar]</p>
<p>“The United States told the UN’s top court it has no jurisdiction to rule on Iran’s demand for the suspension of nuclear-related sanctions recently reimposed on the country. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague ‘lacks prima facie jurisdiction to hear Iran’s claims,’ US State Department lawyer Jennifer Newstead argued on Tuesday. During the first hearing of the case on Monday, Iran argued that US President Donald Trump breached a 1955 treaty with his decision to reimpose sanctions after withdrawing from the landmark 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.

<p>“Rep. Ron DeSantis, the Republican nominee for governor, warned Floridians on Fox News not to ‘monkey this up’ by electing Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, the Democratic nominee and an African-American. ‘The last thing we need to do is monkey this up by trying to embrace a socialist agenda with huge tax increases and bankrupting the state,’ DeSantis said Wednesday. The Florida Democratic Party called DeSantis out immediately. ‘It’s disgusting that Ron DeSantis is launching his general election campaign with racist dog whistles,’ FDP Chairwoman Terrie Rizzo said in a statement. Gillum spokesman Geoff Burgan said the campaign was letting the FDP respond.”</p>

<p><strong>Kavanaugh’s ties to disgraced mentor loom over confirmation</strong><br />

<p>“Seeking confirmation to a federal judgeship after years of Democratic opposition, Brett Kavanaugh turned to one of his most powerful mentors for a boost. Judge Alex Kozinski, of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in California, traveled to Washington, D.C., in 2006 to speak on behalf of Kavanaugh — ‘my good friend and former law clerk.’ He told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Kavanaugh had the legal skills, demeanor and ‘sense of humanity’ to be a brilliant federal judge. Kavanaugh thanked Kozinski for advancing his career and promised to bring the same ‘thoughtfulness and dedication to the rule of law that Judge Kozinski has demonstrated on the bench for more than two decades.’ Twelve years later, Kavanaugh will face senators on the same committee beginning Tuesday for confirmation hearings on his nomination by President Donald Trump to the U.S. Supreme Court. This time, he is certain to face questions about his links to Kozinski, who has since become the poster child for sexual harassment in the federal judiciary.”</p>

<p>“California on Tuesday became the first state in the nation to condemn unnecessary surgeries on intersex children. The Legislature passed a resolution demanding the medical community halt nonconsensual medical procedures that try to cosmetically ‘normalize’ variations in intersex children’s sex characteristics. The resolution, which calls the practice a human rights violation, is a landmark moment for the intersex community, advocates say. ‘It means for the very first time a U.S. legislative body has affirmatively recognized that intersex children deserve dignity and the right to make decisions about their own bodies — just like everyone else,’ Kimberly Zieselman, executive director of interACT Advocates for Intersex Youth, told USA TODAY.”</p>

The change, which will take effect in October 2019, goes further than any other state in the country to remove money from pretrial detention. ‘Today, California reforms its bail system so that rich and poor alike are treated fairly,’ Brown said in a statement. Under Senate Bill 10, California will replace bail with ‘risk assessments’ of individuals and non-monetary conditions of release. Counties will establish local agencies to evaluate any individual arrested on felony charges for their likelihood of returning for court hearings and their chances of re-arrest.”</p>

<p><strong>The myth that won’t die: Undocumented aliens are criminals</strong><br />
Source: Reason<br />
by Shikha Dalmia</p>
<p>“FBI statistics show that border towns like San Diego and El Paso, which have large unauthorized populations, have some of the lowest crime rates in the country — and conversely cities like Detroit and Baltimore that have few immigrants have among the highest. Correlation is not causation, and it is possible that undocumented immigrants move to cities with low crime rates rather than actually lowering these rates — although this would still show that undocumented immigrants don’t lead to a rise in crime. However, there is other evidence that suggests that in fact they do indeed lead to a drop in crime rates. Between 1991 and 2008, California added an unprecedented 3.7 million foreigners — about a third of them unauthorized. And what happened to the Golden State’s crime rate? It dropped an eye-popping 55 percent. What’s true for California is also true for the rest of the country. Multiple studies attribute the precipitous drop in the national crime rate in the 1990s to a growth in immigration, specifically undocumented immigration.” (08/29/18)</p>

In 2016, Baby Boomers made up 31 percent of voters compared to the Millennials’ 27 percent. But with Boomer numbers declining and Millennials more likely to vote as they age, these young adults could overtake their elders at the ballot box in 2020. For all the concerns about Millennials, however, the story behind America’s attitude shifts on foreign policy is more mixed than many realize.” (08/29/18)</p>

<p><strong>Did the FBI cover up evidence that China hacked Clinton’s State Department emails?</strong><br />

<p>“More than three years after Hillary Clinton admitted that she’d used an unsecured private email server to handle classified emails while secretary of State, and two years after the FBI exonerated her, we finally learn what we should have known all along. That China apparently had unfettered access to all her emails, including many that were highly classified. According to the Daily Caller, the only news site that has continued to pursue this story, a Chinese-owned company gained access to Clinton’s unsecured private server, and embedded code that then sent them copies of every email she sent. The story goes to note that the FBI knew about this, even as then FBI-Director James Comey was drafting Clinton’s get-out-of-jail free statement. Two officials from the Intelligence Community Inspector General’s office discovered the code, and ‘met repeatedly with FBI officials to warn them of the Chinese intrusion,’ the Daily Caller’s Frank Pollock reports. The ICIG discovered the ‘anomaly’ in early 2015, Pollock says, soon after the FBI started its investigation.”</p>

<p>“Here’s my view of what’s happening to our country. America is being scandalized by four enormous events that are happening simultaneously. … The first scandalizing event is Donald Trump — his candidacy, his election and his presidency. (And, on some days to some people, his existence.) … Still, Trump won the election fairly and the economy is booming, yet too many Americans can’t accept those truths. Their attempts to bring him down define the three other scandalizing events: First is the conduct of the mainstream media, which has abandoned all standards of fairness and continues to embarrass itself with overt bias against the president. … Another scandalizing event is the behavior of some federal agencies. The Justice Department, the FBI and the CIA took liberties that were morally offensive, and possibly illegal, because they didn’t want Trump to be president. … The fourth scandalizing event is the reaction of Democrats to Trump. Led by Hillary Clinton, the party has thrashed about like wounded animals caught in a steel trap.” (08/29/18)</p>

Amazon refuted the Independent Vermont senator’s claims that it doesn’t pay lower-level employees a livable wage and therefore workers have to rely on government assistance programs, like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), at the expense of other taxpayers. ‘Senator Sanders continues to spread misleading statements about pay and benefits,’ representatives for the company wrote on its Day One blog. ‘Amazon is proud to have created over 130,000 new jobs last year alone. In the U.S., the average hourly wage for a full-time associate in our fulfillment centers, including cash, stock, and incentive bonuses, is over $15/hour before overtime.

The most powerful environmental law ever enacted, it was signed into law 45 years ago, and has steadily become more powerful and intrusive. Decades of controversy have ensued about whether limiting human activity is justified, and there have been numerous attempts at ‘reform,’ but the law remains mostly unchanged. Originally understood by most Americans as an effort to save high-profile species like the bald eagle and grizzly bear, the law’s reach has grown to include 2,407 species of plants, animals, fish, birds, mollusks, and worms. Another 18 species are about to be added, another 28 are considered ‘candidates for listing.’ Over the life of the ESA, just over one percent have been removed from the list, making the goal of species recovery one of government’s most dismal failures.” (08/28/18)</p>

Coming six months after Beijing’s biggest ever offshore naval drills, the joint war games are another reminder of how central military posturing now is to the world’s two most powerful authoritarian states. While neither likely desires or expects war with the United States or its allies, both Beijing and Moscow want to give every impression they are increasingly ready — and are relying on that message to dominate their neighborhoods and intimidate less-powerful nearby nations. Both countries also have an unambiguous message for the Pentagon: if war should come in Eastern Europe or the South China Sea, the United States would risk serious losses if it tried to intervene.” (08/29/18)</p>

A comprehensive 2017 study by researchers at Harvard Business School found that college graduates filling middle-skill positions cost more to employ, have higher turnover rates, tend to be less engaged, and are no more productive than high-school graduates doing the same job. The long-term consequences of degree inflation look to be even worse, as employers continue to pay a premium for a college-educated workforce even when filling positions that non-credentialed workers could just as easily do, leading ever more students to incur the costs of pursuing a degree.” (08/29/18)</p>

Furthermore, the gap between US healthcare spending and UK healthcare spending is a recent phenomenon. While the U.S spends more than double per person than the UK, the gap between US and UK healthcare spending was initially small (in terms of % of GDP). For example, in 1960, UK healthcare spending was 3.9% of GDP, compared with 5.1% of GDP in the U.S. While the U.S spent more than the UK even in 1960, the gap is considerably smaller than today. In addition, healthcare is a luxury good. This means that demand for healthcare increases more than proportionally when income rises.” (08/29/18)</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 75 was full of laughs brought on by guest Chris Bowers. Chris is the former owner of Morty’s Comedy Joint and motivational speaker/comedian. Dakota and Chris talked about the hard work that comedians have to do to become successful in their fields, after Dakota saw the incredible amount of work Dan Cummins puts into his shows. </p>
<p>Jeremiah and Chris talk about the current climate on college campuses. and whether or not the environment there is increasingly hostile towards comedians. Chris makes the distinction that Andy Gross is in fact a magician and not a comedian.</p>
<p>Jordan Bruno is back from living life in his Chevy Astro. The guys called him crazy when he told them his plan in episode 15. Were they right? Or was living life on the road better than it’s cracked up to be?</p>

<h1>Todays News:</h1>
<p><strong>Rand Paul endorses Gary Johnson’s Senate bid</strong></p>
<p>Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is endorsing fellow libertarian former Gov. Gary Johnson in his New Mexico Senate bid.</p>
<p>Paul is throwing his weight behind Johnson, instead of his Republican competitor Mick Rich, the Kentucky senator announced in a news release Tuesday, the Associated Press reports. Johnson’s supporters have been pressuring Rich to drop out of the race against Democratic Sen. Martin Heinrich. Tuesday is the final day for candidates to withdraw their names from the general election ballot. As fellow libertarians, Paul and Johnson share similar sentiments on limited government.</p>
<p>An Emerson College e-poll conducted with a small sample size of 500 registered voters showed Johnson leading Rich among Republicans. Johnson led a failed campaign for president in the 2016 election, earning him big name recognition, and previously served as New Mexico’s governor in the late 90s and early 2000s.</p>

<p>“Kudlow: White House ‘taking a look’ at Google regulations,” by Rebecca Morin: “[Economic adviser Larry] Kudlow was asked Tuesday during a brief exchange with reporters whether the Trump administration feels that ‘there needs to be some form of regulation for Google.’</p>
<p>“‘We’ll let you know. We’re taking a look at it,’ Kudlow replied as he walked back into the White House after a TV interview with Fox News. Kudlow’s remark followed a vague pledge from Trump to take steps against Google to rectify what he said is unfair treatment of conservatives by the company.”</p>

<p><strong>District judge extends claim to have repealed First Amendment</strong><br />
Source: Reuters</p>
<p>“A U.S. judge on Monday extended a ban on the online distribution of 3-D printed gun blueprints, a win for a group of mainly Democratic-led states that said such a publication would violate their right to regulate firearms and endanger their citizens. U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik in Seattle issued the extension of a nationwide injunction, blocking a Texas-based group from disseminating files for printing plastic weapons on the internet. Lasnik’s prior order issued on July 31 blocked the release of the blueprints hours before they were set to hit the internet. That temporary ban was set to expire on Tuesday and the new ban will remain in place until the case is resolved.” [editor’s note: The plans are out there and widely available. The import of this case boils down entirely to the claim of a bureaucrat in a black dress that he has the authority to unilaterally repeal the First Amendment – TLK] (08/27/18)</p>

<p><strong>Trump regime farm bailout to provide $6 billion in initial corporate welfare</strong><br />
Source: CNBC</p>
<p>“With some U.S. farm products getting slammed by retaliatory tariffs, the Trump administration is prepared to start its emergency plan to agriculture starting right after Labor Day in a “three-pronged approach” that will initially include about $6 billion in aid. The Department of Agriculture said in its announcement that it is authorized to provide up to $12 billion in aid to the agricultural industry. On Monday, though, the department said initial aid will consist of about $4.7 billion in payments to agricultural producers of seven commodities, as well as federal government purchases of up to $1.2 billion in certain ‘commodities unfairly targeted by unjustified retaliation.’ A third part of the aid will consist of up to $200 million in spending to help develop foreign markets for agricultural products.” (08/27/18)</p>

<p><strong>NC: Ballot measure on “right to hunt and fish” becomes </strong>political<strong> flashpoint</strong><br />
Source: Fox News</p>
<p>“Voters in North Carolina will be asked this November whether or not the right to hunt, fish and harvest wildlife should be enshrined in their state’s constitution. The ballot measure, which easily passed through the Republican-controlled state Senate in June in a 44-4 vote, has become an unexpectedly divisive issue in North Carolina. Supporters argue the amendment would protect certain hunting practices, but opponents claim it’s little more than a ploy to draw Republican voters to the polls. If it passes in November, the measure would not change state hunting regulations or modify any existing provisions in state law. But it would (particularly with the language protecting ‘the right to use traditional methods, to hunt, fish and harvest wildlife’) help ward off any legal challenges to certain hunting methods and the hunting of certain animals. The bill’s sponsors say that with North Carolina’s changing demographics and a population shift to cities like Charlotte and Raleigh, they worry anti-gun and animal rights activists could impinge on the rights of hunters and fishers.” [editor’s note: Amazing Jefferson, Madison, et al forgot this … Oh wait … they did … with that “shall not be infringed” part of the Second Amendment – SAT] (08/27/18)</p>

<p>“Iran on Monday will begin oral arguments in its lawsuit against the United States at the International Court of Justice in the Hague for renewing sanctions after President Donald Trump backed out of a 2015 [deal] between the two nations in May. Although the United States reimposed sanctions after accusing Iran of not abiding by the the 2015 deal, Iran’s lawsuit against the United States is based on a deal signed between the two countries 60 years earlier — 1955 Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations and Consular Rights.” [editor’s note: The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action is not a deal “between two nations.” It was originally a deal between Iran and SIX other nations, and it was then codified as a UN Security Council resolution, which Trump has now power to “back out of” short of withdrawing the US from the UN itself.

<p><strong>Who is guarding the guardians?</strong><br />

by Alan Dershowitz</p>
<p>“Our system of checks and balances is working tolerably well. The courts are reviewing executive orders, striking down some, upholding others. Congress may soon have one chamber controlled by Democrats, empowering it to conduct investigations and hearings regarding the president. The media is doing its job, despite being attacked by the president. So are the academy, religious bodies, the business world and other mechanisms that are part of our informal system of checks and balances. … The only institution of government that is not currently being checked is the prosecutorial branch. Although President Trump toyed with the idea of firing Robert Mueller, he will not do so. Nor will he fire prosecutors in the Southern District of New York who are investigating his associates. Indeed, Congress is considering legislation that would insulate prosecutors, especially independent counsels, even further. It is important for prosecutors to be independent of politics, but prosecutors are not above the law. Prosecutorial abuse has long been rampant throughout the country, as civil libertarians have been pointing out from time immemorial.” (08/27/18)</p>

<p><strong>Is nationalism the friend or foe of liberty?</strong><br />
Source: American Institute for Economic Research<br />
by Jeffrey A Tucker</p>
<p>“The nationalist is forever counterposing diverse societies with homogenous ones, as if the latter thing even exists. … Orwell writes: ‘The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality.’ What’s most interesting about Orwell’s essay is that he takes a broadened view of the nationality question, to the point that it is no longer about territorial politics alone and instead touches on the psychological impact of political rule itself. … In this case, his analysis of nationalism applies not only to Nazism, not only to Communism, not only to Catholicism or any other religious or identitarian movement you can name. It could, conceivably apply, for example to libertarianism itself. No one, no movement, is immune from the virus. Reflect on that point to perhaps explain a lot that has happened to the ‘liberty movement’ over the last ten years.” (08/26/18)</p>

<p><strong>The cycles of government and the US Constitution</strong><br />

by Warren Meyer</p>
<p>“I was in a course this weekend on the rise and fall of the Roman Republic. One term that was new to me was Polybius’s theory of government called Anacyclosis (Polybius was a contemporary of the Roman Republic and actually lived during the time when the seeds of the Republic’s downfall were being planted). Others before and after Polybius had similar ideas but apparently Polybius gets a lot of the credit. There are two interesting ideas in this theory that I think will have a lot of resonance to folks today. First, he believed that governments followed a cycle from one-man rule to aristocracy to democracy and back. Second, and perhaps more interesting, he believed that each of these three forms of government had a good and bad form, and that the good form was inherently unstable and always degenerated into the bad form.” (08/27/18)</p>

<p><strong>College degree “requirements” were never as real as you thought</strong><br />

by Derek Magill</p>
<p>“Google, IBM, and Apple have stopped listing college degree requirements on their job descriptions, but everyone is missing the point when they say that this is some revolutionary, bold new direction in hiring. It’s not. Companies have never had degree requirements, and you just didn’t know it. The great lie you’ve been told is that you need to buy a piece of paper to have permission to create value in the marketplace. You were told this because a lot of people have a lot at stake if you ever realized the truth. And the truth is this: outside of government-backed cartels like law, academia, and medicine, no company has ever literally required a degree. The degree is just a signaling mechanism, and if you can signal the traits it’s supposed to signal without it, you can sidestep any checkbox. Companies just want to know you can create more value than you take out in salary and don’t give a darn what paper you have so long as you can prove it some other way.” (08/27/18)</p>

<p><strong>Brett Kavanaugh, abortion, and “settled law”</strong><br />
Source: Reason<br />
by Steve Chapman</p>
<p>“After meeting with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Sen. Susan Collins emerged to announce that he regards the Roe v. Wade decision as ‘settled law.’ This comes as an apparent relief to the Maine Republican, who favors abortion rights. But those who hope the Court will uphold Roe would be rash to assume it would be safe with Justice Kavanaugh. ‘Settled law’ sounds solid, but like ice, it’s a substance that can quickly turn to vapor. Roe is ‘settled’ in the sense that it has survived for 45 years and the Court has passed up opportunities to ditch it. But being settled doesn’t mean its survival is assured, under the Court of 2019 or 2029.” (08/27/18)</p>

<p>“In his person, and his public pronouncements, McCain was the perfect representative of the nascent imperial class: born in the Panama Canal zone, the son of an Admiral, he was almost fated to become what he did indeed become — the archetypal Praetorian, the veritable embodiment of America’s post-World War II empire. A paladin of the cold war while it lasted, and a tireless advocate of post-cold war hegemonism, his favorite phrase was ‘boots on the ground,’ and he championed this as a policy option for virtually every foreign policy problem confronted by US policymakers.” (08/27/18)</p>

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/08/27/robert-mueller-special-counsel-report-sleeper-case-797373</p>
<p>Politico: “A little-noticed court case stemming from the apparent murder of a Columbia University professor six decades ago could keep special counsel Robert Mueller from publishing any information about the Trump campaign and Russia that he obtains through a Washington grand jury.”</p>
<p>“The substance of the case is entirely unrelated to Mueller’s investigation into whether any of President Donald Trump’s associates aided Russia’s efforts to intervene in the 2016 election. But if a Washington appeals court set to hear the murder-related case next month sides with the Justice Department and rules that judges don’t have the freedom to release grand jury information that is usually kept secret, it could throw a monkey wrench into any plans Mueller has to issue a public report on his probe’s findings, lawyers following the issue said.”</p>

<p>“These arguments, underpinned by a distaste for banal political opinions and a profound distrust of American institutions—including the C.I.A., the F.B.I., and Rachel Maddow—have put an end to his appearances on MSNBC, where he considers himself now banned, but they have given him a place on Tucker Carlson’s show, on Fox News, and in Tennys Sandgren’s Twitter feed.”</p>

<p>“A federal judge dealt a blow Saturday to President Donald Trump’s efforts to ‘promote more efficient’ government, ruling that key provisions of three recent executive orders ‘undermine federal employees’ right to bargain collectively’ under federal law. U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson said Trump had ‘exceeded his authority’ in issuing the orders. The White House had no comment and referred questions to the Justice Department, which said it was reviewing the judge’s ruling and considering options. Federal worker unions that had sued to block Trump’s use of his executive authority in this area applauded the outcome.” (08/25/18)</p>

<p><strong>Democrats strip superdelegates of power, reform caucuses</strong><br />
Source: NBC News</p>
<p>“The Democratic National Committee voted Saturday to significantly curtail the power of superdelegates and make presidential caucuses more accessible, overcoming objections from a vocal minority of its membership. The reform package, pushed by DNC Chairman Tom Perez and allies of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, among others, passed overwhelmingly by voice vote at the DNC’s summer meeting here — two years after the process started. Perez and others hailed the outcome as momentous, saying the reforms will help welcome new people into the party by reassuring them that their vote will never be overruled by the party leaders who can vote for whomever they want for the presidential nomination. … The change will prohibit superdelegates from voting for president at the party’s 2020 convention, unless the outcome is already assured or it deadlocks, which hasn’t happened in decades. The vast majority of superdelegates sided with Hillary Clinton over Sanders in their primary fight two years ago.” (08/25/18)</p>

<p>“U.S-China trade talks this week were heavy on details but short on progress as U.S. negotiators outlined cases of American firms harmed by Chinese practices and China argued it was meeting its WTO obligations, people familiar with contents of the discussions said. The two days of talks in Washington led by mid-level officials did little to resolve a worsening trade spat between the world’s two biggest economies and ended on Thursday without a joint statement. Washington separately held hearings during the week on another round of proposed tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports that appear increasingly likely to take effect in late September or early October. And while factions on the U.S. side have given conflicting signals on how hard to press Beijing during the trade dispute, officials from the Treasury Department, which led the talks, and the U.S. Trade Representative, which has taken a harder line, were aligned in their messaging, the people said.” (08/25/18)</p>

<p><strong>Former Trump doorman releases contract with National Enquirer publisher that silenced illegitimate child story</strong><br />
Source: The Hill</p>
<p>“A former Trump Tower doorman who claimed to have information about an alleged affair of President Trump’s that he said resulted in a child is now reportedly free to speak about a deal with the National Enquirer publisher that silenced him. An attorney for Dino Sajudin, who was employed as a doorman at Trump World Tower, told CNN that his client was ‘recently’ released from his contract with American Media Inc. (AMI). Sajudin had entered what’s known as a ‘catch-and-kill’ agreement with the publisher in 2015. … In the contract between Sajudin and AMI, a copy of which was obtained by CNN, the company obtained indefinite exclusive rights to Sajudin’s story, and barred him from breaking the contract at the penalty of $1 million. AMI never published a story on Sajudin’s claims and an executive told the AP they lacked credibility.” (08/25/18)</p>

<p>“[I]n the mid-1990s, as Matt Welch has pointed at Reason, it was the Democrats who got tough on immigration, with Bill Clinton sounding Trumpian with promises to build a wall and deport as many Mexicans as he could find (while running for Senate in New York in 2007, Hillary Clinton was staunchly against giving illegals driver licenses). There are many reasons why the parties have changed rhetoric on immigration (for all the love he showed late in his term, Barack Obama was no friend of immigrants). Some of them are geographic, some are demographic, some are economic (with the effective end of private-sector unionism, Dems no longer fear the wrath of the anti-immigrant AFL-CIO and others they once did), etc. One major point is to recognize and combat the conservatives such as Richard Viguerie, who back in the day was the sort of guy who saw one-world government in every UNICEF box and a police state in every attempt to pass a national I.D. card. They are using a terrible crime to push an agenda they once abhorred.” (08/25/18)</p>

<p>“In light of Michael Cohen’s plea deal, Democrats and the liberal news media are out for blood. Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., called for a congressional hearing to ‘obtain sworn testimony directly from Mr. Cohen.’ Time magazine proclaimed: ‘Trump is in trouble. Here’s how much worse it can get.’ Except he’s not, and it won’t get ‘worse.’ Actual campaign-finance experts, outside the liberal outrage mob, generally agree: Even if Cohen’s activities were campaign-related (though they probably aren’t), they amount to a Federal Election Commission speeding ticket. President Donald Trump didn’t violate campaign-finance law; the payments made to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal came from his personal finances, not campaign funds, for something he believed was unrelated to the campaign. As the president told Fox News, ‘They didn’t come out of the campaign; they came from me.’” (08/24/18)</p>

<p>“Like Michael Cohen, [John] Dean repulsed Democrats for his association with the president and Republicans for his eagerness to turn against his former benefactor (at least he did not tape the president — then again, he did not need to). But in the decades since the scandal that made his name infamous he has rehabilitated himself through a time-tested method: by mouthing liberal talking points whenever a Republican occupies the Oval Office. This invariably involves Dean, speaking as though he was the authority on Watergate rather than a convicted felon and conspirator in the break-ins, judging the Republican controversy of the moment as even more serious than Watergate.” (08/24/18)</p>

<p><strong>Why so little inflation?</strong><br />

by Scott Sumner</p>
<p>“Tyler[ Cowen]’s right that we are no longer in a liquidity trap. And he’s right that this fact has often been ignored and that this ignorance is unfortunate. But he’s wrong about the specific problem. When you are in a liquidity trap, the reason big monetary injections are not highly inflationary is that the interest rate on base money is roughly equal to the interest rate on other risk-free assets. But that’s still true, even after 2015. So one would not expect the recent inflation outcome to be much different than what we saw under the 7-year long liquidity trap (December 2008 to December 2015.)” (08/26/18)</p>

<p>“The War on Drugs is a failure. This seems more and more to be the modern consensus among the population as incarceration rates skyrocket only to line the pockets of a few greedy corporations feeding off of cheap prison slave labor. The opioid crisis rages on. Doctors push pills for profits while state crackdowns force corporate-made junkies to find alternate fixes on the streets. There’s no denying that many of the so-called problems with drug use are actually problems caused by the state, capitalism, and social attitudes towards drug use. However it is also just as naive to think that drug use does not have its inherent risks. As anarchists, we believe that people should be able to consume whatever they wish, but as people who wish to see a society built upon mutual aid, we also wish to engage in harm reduction.” (08/26/18)</p>

Source: Ludwig von Mises Institute<br />

<p>“The Accountable Capitalism Act would ultimately put the federal government in control of the largest firms of the economy, micromanaging them so that they conform to its plans and work for its benefit. It would be, essentially, a system of centrally planning the economy, or more accurately: centrally chartering it. Worse still, imagine the state of the market after the Office of United States Corporations inevitably became infested with corporate lobbyists; each large firm would be warring for survival in the congressional coliseum. Such a scenario would be economically ruinous, affecting firms not only at the corporate level, but also affecting the entire balance of the rest of the economy.” (08/25/18)</p>

<p>“America is now stuck in hell between a corrupt and incompetent President and Democrats that can’t get over that they actually lost to him by running the least likable candidate in political history. Democrats refuse to accept the lousy candidate theory, so they’ve spent two years looking for a conspiracy under every rock. The repetition of hysteria and hyperbole (not witnessed since the 2010 Tea Party) by the Resistance and their sympathizers in the media gives us the impression that something must be done when nothing is the best course of action. Unhinged rhetoric has emboldened politicians like Sen. Mark Warner and Sen. Ron Wyden to float federal policy governing political speech on social media platforms. They are crafting legislation that will ‘protect’ Americans from hate speech pushed by Jones and the like.” (08/26/18)</p>

<p>“Every day an article is published calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. Many desired the same fate for Trump’s White House predecessor, Barack Obama. Apparently, we live in a day much like that in which the eminent jurist Samuel Pufendorf lived, a world so full of distrust and disorder in politics that he described all government officials as being ‘led away by a private Interest, which is opposite to that of the State; or else, being divided into Factions, they are more concern’d to ruin their Rivals, than to follow the Dictates of Reason.’ Of course, it is the likelihood of such abuse of power and position that impeachment was included in our governing document and in the constitution of Great Britain, from which the Framers took many of their constitutional cues. Accordingly, our review of the history of impeachment will begin with a quick trip across the pond, where the power of impeachment was established in order to protect the people from the dangers of despotism.” (08/26/18)</p>

<p>“Many in the intelligence community have been quietly dismayed by the hyperbolic partisan behavior of former CIA Director John Brennan since Donald Trump took office. But by revoking Brennan’s security clearance, the president has managed to turn Brennan from an embarrassment into a martyr. The response to Trump’s action has been like the scene in the 1960 movie ‘Spartacus’ when a Roman general announces to a group of rebel slaves that they will be spared crucifixion — but only if they turn in Spartacus, the leader of the revolt. One by one, the slaves stand up and shout, ‘I am Spartacus!’ As former CIA Director Michael Hayden has pointed out, a similar scene is playing out today in the intelligence community. The first to yell ‘I am Spartacus!’ was retired Adm. William H. McRaven, former head of U.S. Joint Special Operations Command, who declared in a Post op-ed, ‘I would consider it an honor if you would revoke my security clearance as well, so I can add my name to the list of men and women who have spoken up against your presidency.’” (08/24/18)</p>

<p>“World Bank data show the number and proportion of people in dire poverty worldwide has plummeted over the past two decades. In 1990, 35.5pc of the world’s population (1.9bn people) lived below the equivalent of $1.90 (£1.47) per day. By 2013, this had fallen to 10.9pc, or just 782m. That’s the most rapid fall in poverty in global history. Viewed from our lofty opulence, it’s easy to downplay this statistic as indicative of a different poverty — that of ambition. Yet viewed in isolation it is surely good news. Unless, of course, you are a left-wing academic keen to decry the effects of globalisation and capitalism. Numerous commentators and intellectuals with precisely these ambitions are trying to muddy the waters and confuse the public on this unadulterated positive development.” (08/24/18)</p>

<p>“OK. So, here’s Amazon or any other plutocratic, capitalist and thus hard hearted employer. There’s the single male looking for a job at $10 an hour. There’s the single mother looking for a job at $10 an hour. Currently they both cost the employer the same amount of money, $10 an hour. However, we out here, society, we say the single mother needs $600 a month (just to entirely invent a number but not far off reality) to feed her three children. On top of her wages. We do this because the children shouldn’t go hungry. Now Bernie Sanders brings in his thoroughly sensible and well thought out plan. Amazon must pay a $600 a month tax for hiring the single mother. Amazon pays no tax for hiring the single male. Who gets the job? Well, one of them costs Amazon $10 an hour plus nothing, the other $10 an hour plus $600. It’s not going to be Ms. $600 extra who gets hired, is it?” (08/24/18)</p>

<p>The deplatforming of Alex Jones has me fired up. Why? I was 18 when 9-11, and I then became active in politics. I lived through the lead up to the Iraq War where I saw, and participated in, the silencing of anti-war activists. They were right, I was wrong, and a million people died.</p>
<p>I’ve watched the media and the 2-party political apparatus create propaganda out of false information which is then used to marginalize, criminalize, and kill American citizens. Once the citizenry was behind the “patriotic” and “right” things as a result of major media and political newspeak, the government implemented policies that range from subtle conditioning (TSA) to the destruction of the fourth amendment (Prism).<span id="more-27192"></span></p>
<p>Now we are faced with the Russian “crisis” and the notion that we “must act.” Let’s be clear about the facts after two years of investigations: the Russians stole information from the DNC and gave it to Wikileaks. They were not hacked. Someone inside the DNC clicked on a link, and it provided access to their system. Their lack of cyber security protocol does not equal a crisis of democracy that must be solved through legislation. That is the extent of significant Russian interference in our elections.</p>
<h2>“What about fake news and Russian ads?”</h2>
<p>Recode reports that Hillary Clinton <a href="https://www.recode.net/2017/11/1/16593066/trump-clinton-facebook-advertising-money-election-president-russia">spent millions</a> on Facebook ads and still lost, so the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/why-russias-facebook-ad-campaign-wasnt-such-a-success/2017/11/03/b8efacca-bffa-11e7-8444-a0d4f04b89eb_story.html">$100,000 in Russian ads</a> likely had no effect. <a href="http://mentalfloss.com/article/84795/political-facebook-posts-dont-change-minds-study-says">Rantic</a> did a survey and found that Facebook statuses from friends don’t change minds, so “fake news” probably wasn’t the problem.</p>
<h2>Cognitive Dissonance Creates Bad Legislation</h2>
<p>America is now stuck in hell between a corrupt and incompetent President and Democrats that can’t get over that they actually lost to him by running the least likable candidate in political history. Democrats refuse to accept the lousy candidate theory, so they’ve spent two years looking for a conspiracy under every rock.</p>
<p>The repetition of hysteria and hyperbole (not witnessed since the 2010 Tea Party) by the Resistance and their sympathizers in the media gives us the impression that something must be done when nothing is the best course of action. Unhinged rhetoric has emboldened politicians like Sen. Mark Warner and Sen. Ron Wyden to <a href="https://reason.com/blog/2018/07/31/democrats-tech-policy-plans-leaked">float federal policy governing political speech on social media</a> platforms. They are crafting legislation that will “protect” Americans from hate speech pushed by Jones and the like.</p>
<h2>The Moving Line of Censorship</h2>
<p>Notice that a few short months ago, we were only concerned with foreign influence, but now it is a domestic influence as well. Two weeks ago, it was “these companies have a right to do it,” and now it is “legislation is needed to fix this crisis.” The line is moving, and it won’t stop until the American people say so.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.recode.net/2018/8/22/17765664/ron-wyden-alex-jones-infowars-regulation-elections-privacy-cybersecurity-kara-swisher-podcast">In an interview with Recode</a>, Wyden stated: “I think it’s also worth noting that, with respect to Alex Jones, there are probably a thousand accounts out there that are as bad as Alex Jones.”</p>
<p>Accounts where? Will his proposal regulate only Google, Apple, Twitter, and Facebook? Or will it be blog content management systems like WordPress, podcast hosts, and credit card processors too? What is the definition of social media?</p>
<p>Secondly, what does Sen. Wyden consider “bad”? Why does any Senator get to determine what good or bad political speech may be? They don’t. The First Amendment was written to tell government employees that they do not have the right to limit speech. There are consequences to speech, and I support any company’s right to disassociate from Jones. As a consumer, I then have the right to speak out or quit their service when they stop sharing my values. In this instance, the dominant companies of Silicon Valley should have told the mobs of media members and politicians to grow up.</p>
<p>Wyden says that these companies need to reflect community values and common decency. One can only imagine that he wants to be the one defining values and decency. I hold the value that words are not violence. If Alex Jones said terrible things but didn’t physically harm anyone, commit fraud, or steal information, then he should be allowed to say what he wants. I am guessing my absolutist approach to free speech isn’t a value he would like.</p>
<p>After Trump won in 2016, I began watching Jones to see what he says considering his newfound influence. Having no awareness of him, I had thought him dangerous. He’s really just a vitamin salesman mixed with P.T. Barnum featuring lousy news analysis. When you investigate what he’s saying, he usually has misconstrued facts to fit a narrative that benefits him. If that is grounds for deplatforming, then the Weekly Standard and ThinkProgress ought to be trembling in their boots.</p>
<h2>Sandy Hook</h2>
<p>Sandy Hook is often the reason cited as to why Alex Jones is not allowed in polite company. I have no idea what Jones actually said, and I would bet most people condemning Jones don’t either. We immediately sympathize with victims of unspeakable tragedies whenever criticisms of events are brought up. Politicians, partisan advocates, and headline-hungry media are always willing to exploit this empathetic reaction for their own purposes. The victims of 9-11 were used repeatedly to pass legislation and win elections. It was so overused that it became an anti-Rudy Guiliani meme in the 2008 Presidential race.</p>
<p>I am not trying to dismiss the pain of these families. It was such a traumatic event that it still stands as one of our darkest days as a nation. Obama says it was his worst day as President. It is bananas to claim that it didn’t happen when we watched it unfold before our eyes. It is a shame if Jones has caused these families further grief, but being the subject of a news story usually brings them extra pain. If Jones defamed them, then there are existing legal remedies at their disposal. Creating mechanisms to control speech before it happens is wholly inappropriate.</p>
<h2>Grow Up</h2>
<p>We need a reality check. A Texas talk show host that is more meme and performance artist than political influencer poses no significant risk to the Republic. The most significant threat to our democracy are laws that seek to limit our ability to reason to the best conclusions for our society. That includes terrible ideas, hurtful words, and questioning the obvious. People think these things, and ending the ability to discuss them means those damaging thoughts never change the behaviors that hurt our culture. Openness and vulnerability always lead to better people and stronger societies.</p>
<p>In 2003, I was fighting to silence the left from saying unpopular things. Now I am the one trying to defend my freedom of speech as the left tries to keep unpopular opinions suppressed. In reality, neither of us should be the force of government or digital lynch mobs to silence anyone, and we both ought to be suspicious of the powerful in media, corporations, or the government telling us who is not worthy of speech.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m joined by the Executive Director of the Republican Liberty Caucus, Alexander Snitker!</p>
<p>Libertarian Party versus the Republican Liberty Caucus… no, it’s not a binary decision, but listen as Alex and I discuss the respective roles of the Libertarian Party and the RLC.  We also tackle the question as to which organization is better at advancing liberty, the need for the Libertarian Party to take itself seriously, the issues with current LP leadership, and the vision of the RLC going forward, including their partnering with Young American’s For Liberty’s “Operation Win at the Door” campaign. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 74 saw the return of Boss Hog of Liberty fan’s favorite guest, Economics professor, Steve Horwitz. Steve stopped by to talk to the guys about the current political climate on college campuses. Starting first the decision to remove John “Papa John” Schnatter’s name from his building and professorship. Steve and Jeremiah talked about the use of language in today’s world, and the reasoning behind Ball State University’s decision. </p>
<p>Purdue Freshman, Mason Rottinghaus called in to tell the guys about his experience in the auditorium during Andy Gross’s performance. The crew delves into the specifics of the “outrage” by Purdue students and asks whether or not this is a case of 21st century manufactured outrage. Chase Peyton asks Mason about his first impressions on campus, and Steve gives his insight as a professor.</p>
<p>Finally, they discuss the supposed morality of shopping local vs. purchasing from a big box store. Steve does what he does best and breaks down the logistics of the scenario. Completely dismantling all of the “pro-local” arguments. What do you think, should we be more supportive of local businesses? Steve’s writings for FEE on the topic can be found at <a href="https://fee.org/articles/economic-localism-is-no-better-than-economic-nationalism/" rel="nofollow">https://fee.org/articles/economic-localism-is-no-better-than-economic-nationalism/</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 73 of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis host the legendary tax cutter from Brownsburg India, Rob Kendall. Rob is a We Are Libertarians network alumni, Host of the Rob Kendall Show at 93 WIBC, and producer for the Chicks on the Right’s midday show during the week. Our 3rd chair co-host is the American Hero, Chris Guffey.</p>
<p>We talk local government, Rob’s exclusive interview with President Donald Trump. We learn how you go from volunteer at a radio station to working at the talk radio standard in the Midwest. </p>
<p>Roncalli high school alumni, and Espresso podcast host, Joey Mulinaro called in and we discussed the controversy surrounding a school employee being suspended for being in a same sex marriage. A wildly complicated story, with as many layers as an onion. Should private schools be able to have moral clauses? If there are public dollars going to private schools, should there be strings attached? What happens when someone weaponizes a marriage license?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I am joined by the National Manager of Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty, Hannah Cox!</p>
<p>Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty (CCATDP) is a nationwide group of conservatives questioning whether capital punishment is consistent with conservative principles and values due to the system’s inefficiency, inequity, and inaccuracy. </p>
<p>Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty is a project of Equal Justice USA, a national, non-partisan, grassroots organization working to transform the justice system by promoting responses to violence that break cycles of trauma.</p>
<p>“Conservative Republicans and Libertarians are increasingly looking at the facts and deciding that the death penalty must be ended,” says Hannah. “This is especially true for younger voters on the right who are often leading the way on criminal justice reform as we become increasingly aware of the risks of executing innocent people and the opportunity costs involved with this wasteful system.”</p>
<p>To learn more about CCATDP, go to <a href="http://www.conservativesconcerned.org/" rel="nofollow">www.conservativesconcerned.org</a>. <br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of Boss Hog of Liberty, Dakota and Jeremiah are joined by Craig Armstrong of Armstrong Farms, and Mark Wenning. Both are farmers in Henry County, Indiana and have a lot of information to share about the current issues facing the people that feed our nation. We talk about the history both have had in the farming industy and the future that they see coming. Craig shared some interesting facts about all of the products that soybeans are a part of. </p>
<p>Dakota delves deep into the history of tariffs and their role/previous roles in the United States economy. There is a lot of information to be learned and history helps to develop a more well rounded view for 21st century politics. Craig and Mark answer questions about what they believe the effects these tarrifs will have on their family farms. </p>
<p>Lastly, the crew discusses how farmers can diversify their operations in uncertain times like these. Options are out there, but they are not without controversy. Craig has been outspoken in his support of Industrial Wind Turbines and answers why he believes they will be good for America and Henry County. </p>

And what the pitfalls are. Today, I will discuss just those things with two physician entrepreneurs.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In just over <u>24 hours</u>, a recent episode hit <u>3,000 downloads</u>. This is the most significant <u>24-hour number</u> we’ve ever had. Podcasts take time to grow in download numbers, and we are beginning to peak at 13,000. On Election Day 2016, our downloads <strong>peaked</strong> at 3000 an episode over all time. It is incredible growth, and it is a reflection of the hard work of everyone in WAL.</p>
<p>In November of last year, I considered ending the show. I wasn’t sure where to take it. I rededicated myself to the show, to prepping endlessly for each episode, and making sure that every episode leaves you with an “Aha” moment. I am glad I didn’t because the community built around our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/wearelibertarians">Patreon</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/wearelibertarians">Facebook Groups</a>, and <a href="https://discord.gg/P5tsTRe">Discord</a> have made this my favorite year of WAL. If you haven’t joined, get in on the fun now.</p>
<p>Below, I will tell you what we are working on, but first I want to share with you what We Are Libertarians means to listeners like you as shared in via email. <strong>If this show ended, then we would have missed out on impacting these lives</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“Thank you again for continuing to put out excellent content. More than many other podcasts that I’ve listened to, yours is engaging, interesting, and thoughtful.” – Joshua</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em>“Your podcast has added remarkable value to my life; thank you!” – Eric</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“I started listening to the podcast somewhere in the 30’s. And, I’ve listened to the entire catalog. I got really nervous that the podcast would end after the episode when your wife left you. I’d had so many “AHA!” moments listening to you explain ideas that I hadn’t been able to fully form or articulate that I panicked a little thinking about how I would keep learning. And, you’d challenged a lot of my natural instincts – both politically and in my personal life.</p>
<p>And, that’s the thing that really stands out for me about your podcast. You’ve literally helped me become a better person, husband, and father by helping understand the complexities of people. It’s OK that my children may not believe the same way I do. And, it’s OK to be vulnerable to my wife. And, it’s OK to be honest with my co-workers about struggles that I’m facing.</p>
<p>I’ve become more open about my feelings. I’ve become more patient with my children. And, in general, you’ve helped me feel more at peace with my self by helping me accept my own unique flaws.” – Jason</p></blockquote>
<p>Receiving notes like this is truly humbling. WAL was always a hobby. It was a way to meet up with friends on a weekly basis and talk politics. I’ve been sharing my life with listeners, building a community around libertarianism, and trying to move people towards a free society by making them think. It was a surprise to all of us that it has meant something. It has rededicated us in these past few months to meet your expectations. With Patreon subscribers, we want to make sure there is value for the hard-earned dollars shared with us.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>A Patreon subscription is what ensures this podcast continues. </em></strong></span></p>
<p>Without it, I could not afford to keep the show, network, and community afloat. We are just too successful for this to remain a hobby. So what are the details of our Patreon program?</p>
<h3>What a Patreon subscription does:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Informs thousands of listeners about the basics of libertarianism in a fun and inviting way</li>
<li>Educates libertarians about the news of the day in a way unlike any other libertarian podcast</li>
<li>Provides <a href="http://libertarianpodcasts.com/">LibertarianPodcasts.com</a> to the libertarian movement</li>
<li>Hosts <a href="https://wearelibertarians.com/">WeAreLibertarians.com </a>with hundreds of resources for new libertarians</li>
<li>Keeps WAL communities like <a href="https://discordapp.com/invite/Egss9XX">Discord</a> and the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/910491628983219/">Facebook Group</a>functioning</li>
<li>Provides resource podcast feeds like <a href="https://rawaudio.fireside.fm/">Raw Audio Politics</a> and <a href="https://upward.fireside.fm/">Upward – Libertarian Activism</a></li>
<li>Helps new shows on the network like <a href="https://briannichols.fireside.fm/">The Brian Nichols Show</a>and <a href="https://bosshog.fireside.fm/">The Boss Hog of Liberty</a>, which will be our template for a libertarian news outlet in every county in this country.</li>
<li>Distributes our shows on any platform imaginable like <a href="https://soundcloud.com/wearelibertarians">Soundcloud</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7fl5qRntLuZGAe9llfm5jb?si=UlS0FI2ySXulC_7zoKkiiA">Spotify,</a> and <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/we-are-libertarians-with-chris-spangle-29496846/">iHeart</a> and any podcast app.</li>
<li>Operates We Are Libertarians Radio which puts us in the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radioco.m5870e3b49">Google</a>and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1361526736?ls=1&mt=8">Apple</a> app stores, smart speakers like Google Home and Alexa, on <a href="https://tunein.com/radio/We-Are-Libertarians-Radio-s300501/">TuneIn Radio</a> and iTunes Radio.</li>
</ul>
<h3>What We Are Working On:</h3>
<ul>
<li>On August 1, my new personal assistant will start. They will be tasked with managing the Patreon community and assisting with behind the scenes stuff. This will free me up for more show prep.</li>
<li>We are hiring graphic designers for our new store launching soon.</li>
<li>We are upgrading our video. We will broadcast one stream to the big Facebook for a short segment of each episode for promotion and another multi-camera shoot to the Patrons.</li>
</ul>
<h3>What You Get:</h3>
<ul>
<li>$5 and up gets bonus content not heard on the main feed that is loaded up in CD quality audio.</li>
<li>$10 and up gets access to the live video stream and chat during the episode plus admittance to our exclusive Facebook group.</li>
<li>$25 and up gets one a poster and a discount in the upcoming store.</li>
<li>$100 a month gets you exclusive access to Dear Leader and the opportunity to come on the show!</li>
<li>The ability to amplify your voice to explain libertarianism to tens of thousands across our platforms.</li>
</ul>
<p>For many new libertarians, We Are Libertarians is the first podcast they hear. We are on the front lines of spreading the libertarian message, and we are growing because libertarians like yourself amplify your voice by giving us more resources. Please partner with us to continue to impact the world for personal freedom.</p>

<p>At the start of the show, the guys talk about Mark’s background and make him take a quiz to figure out if he is a hipster, like he’s been accused of. They discuss Mark’s video career, and the projects that he has had a part in. This episode features the first session of Kade’s Korner! Get expert farming advice and learn to be a pro!</p>
<p>Finally, they discuss/debate what decade is/was the best to live in. a deep analysis of all things 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and 00’s. Dakota thinks that the current time is the best. Mark says it was the 70’s. What do you think?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This interview first appeared on “Bills” with Luke Scorziell found at <a href="https://theedgeofideas.com/2018/07/11/ep-39-movement-brian-nichols-libertarian/" rel="nofollow">https://theedgeofideas.com/2018/07/11/ep-39-movement-brian-nichols-libertarian/</a></em></p>
<p>2016 changed how the world viewed politics. This change gave prominence to the libertarian, limited-government ideology. Brian Nichols is an adamant supporter of libertarianism and the philosophy of “Don’t hurt people. Don’t take people’s stuff.” We sort through the Republican Party’s flaws, the dangers of big government, and the importance of personal responsibility.</p>
<p>Brian’s Background<br />
“I really didn’t have much of a choice when it came to being involved in politics.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>Brian grew up in a very political household. His grandfather was the town supervisor, and his father was the county representative for his home county. While his family-life exposed him to politics, Brian has taken a very hands-on approach to the field himself.</p>
<p>“I’ve spent pretty much my entire life involved in some way, shape, or form of politics. I’ve loved every minute of it.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>Brian has served on multiple New York State Assembly and Senate Campaigns. In 2012, he was the mobile field representative for a candidate for Congress from northern New York. He’s now the associate editor at the Libertarian Republic and host of The Brian Nichols Show.</p>
<p>“The main goal of my show is to bring people on from all walks of life and all political persuasions to really have meaningful conversations that will help us find some common ground.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>Brian’s Ideological Journey<br />
Post 2012 Election<br />
“I found myself embracing the small “l” libertarian ideology.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>After serving on the congressional campaign in 2012, Brian was a very dedicated member of the GOP. However, he began to notice some libertarian tendencies easing their way into his ideology. These tendencies were a broad social acceptance with limited fiscal economics.</p>
<p>Parties as Vessels<br />
“I believe parties are nothing more than vessels to bring these different ideologies into government.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>Brian looks to candidates like Austin Petersen, who interviewed on Bills, as using the Republican Party to promote libertarian ideology to a wider audience. He believes the role of the Libertarian Party, however, is to keep the other two parties honest.</p>
<p>Republican Entitlement<br />
“You didn’t deserve our vote just for existing. You have to earn our vote.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>While Republicans often blame Libertarian’s from taking their votes, thus handing seats to Democrats, Brian has a different perspective. He believes the GOP must earn Libertarian votes, they are not entitled to them.</p>
<p>“Why do Republicans feel they automatically deserve Libertarian votes?” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>The Republican Party, Brian says, lacks principles. Rather they have become a tribalist group calling for voters to vote for anyone with an “R” next to their name.</p>
<p>“There is a vast difference in ideology between Linsey Graham, Tom Cotton, and John McCain versus Rand Paul, Justin Amash, and Thomas Massey.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>Libertarian Misconceptions<br />
“Don’t hurt people. Don’t take people’s stuff.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>Libertarianism, Brian describes, isn’t doing whatever you want. Rather, libertarianism not harming people and not taking their things. In terms of the social side, libertarians believe government should not force it’s beliefs upon it’s citizens. Individuals should be able to exercise their ideas as they see fit.</p>
<p>“Yes you can be a social justice warrior and be a libertarian, but that means you have to change minds. Not use government to forcibly change people’s actions.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>An Overreach of Government<br />
“You’ve created a massive government that is really able to do whatever it wants without fear of recourse…and that’s insanity.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>Both parties should be realize, Brian tells me, that the time will come for the other side to take charge. Right now, it has been the separation of families at the border, an issue that occurred for years under Obama. But it will also be the nuclear option in the Senate during the confirmation of newly selected Judge Brett Kavanaugh, which was created by the Democrats and is now being used by the Republicans.</p>
<p>“Our founders must be rolling in their graves seeing the inflated Executive Branch right now.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>The pendulum sings both ways, Brian describes, and soon it’s going to be the other guys in power.</p>
<p>“Libertarians don’t see government as the arbiter of morality.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>Personal Responsibility<br />
“We, as a society, have ceded so much personal responsibility to the government. We’re really at behest of government to the detriment of society.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>Rather than taking responsibility for our actions, we are just handing it off to the government. Brian feels that we need to stop on this track, and change our mindset to promote true positive progress without looking for the government for the solution.</p>
<p>Problems from Government<br />
“We don’t have to have the government constantly meddling in our business to try to make things better. When you look at everything that was wrong with the United States, it was the government.” ~ Luke Scorziell</p>
<p>We discuss how many of our nation’s problems have originated from government, such as mandated discrimination by Jim Crow laws in the South.</p>
<p>“One of the great mistakes is to judge policies and programs by their intentions rather than their results.” ~ Milton Friedman</p>
<p>Masterpiece Cake Shop Case<br />
“It’s not that religious liberty should trump LGBTQ rights. It’s that personal property rights trump the government mandate.” ~ Brian Nichols </p>
<p>Brian doesn’t think it’s right for the baker to refuse service to the LGBTQ couple, but he sides with the personal rights of the baker. When he is asked by people on the left why he sides that way, he flips the question on them. Would it be right for a Jewish baker to refuse to serve a Nazi group?</p>
<p>“We have the right, in the marketplace, to shame that person for not providing their services to an individual.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>The problem, Brian describes, is when government is called in to fix the situation. This leads to overregulation of everyday, voluntary transactions. He mentions the case where Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the Whitehouse Director of Communications, was refused service at a restaurant. That’s their right, he says.</p>
<p>“Nobody should force you to provide some type of service because the government says so.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>American Privilege: A Lack of Perspective<br />
Brian believes Americans forget how privileged they are, especially relative to the rest of the world.</p>
<p>“If we’re able to objectively look at our own position in the world and in life, that would lead to a better, more meaningful discourse.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>We both discuss the importance of being grateful and taking responsibility for our own success. People today believe the best person to help them to success it not themselves, but a bureaucrat in Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>Brian Nichols on Trump<br />
While Brian detests many of President Trump’s actions, he has agreed with many of the policies the Trump Administration has advocated for. However, he also believes that Trump has no principles, which is part of a larger problem of combining politics and celebrity.</p>
<p>“I like some of what Trump does, but I think that as a personality and figurehead, he is going to do a lot more damage than he’s going to do good [to the Republican Party].” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>Brian says it is unlikely he will vote for Trump in 2020; however, he will not vote for the Democrat candidate either.</p>
<p>What Could Happen in 2020?<br />
I ask Brian if he is willing to support a Libertarian candidate at the expense of Trump in 2020. Interestingly, he cites studies saying a Democratic president and Republican Congress governs much more fiscally conservative than a Republican president.</p>
<p>“There have been many studies showing that the United States operates in a much more fiscally conservative manner when you have a Republican-led Congress and a Democrat in the White House.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>The Importance of State and Local Government<br />
“People don’t realize that state sales tax and local property taxes are some of the most costly taxes.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>Rather than investing all of your political passion into federal politics, Brian advises people to first make change in their local government. The federal government, he says, was set up to get things done as slow as possible.</p>
<p>“Government was actually built by the framers, at the federal level, to not be productive.” ~ Brian Nichols</p>
<p>Patreon Questions!<br />
Be sure to tune in to hear Brian’s answers to these questions:</p>
<p>With the ever increasing acceptance of Executive orders as a substitute for congressional action, do you believe America could, at some point, become a dictatorship?<br />
If you were to run for POTUS, what would be the first item on your agenda? How would you handle it? </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 68 saw the return of all 5 co-hosts. The guys reminisce about the weekend activities which included Jeremiah’s wedding and a trip to New Castle Motor Sports. We also learned that Kade Koger loves to break out his dance moves. </p>
<p>Dakota and Jeremiah took a trip to the Joint meeting concerning the Henry County jail and discovered that we are not unique in our current corrections situation. The duo gives a synopsis of what was said at the meeting, and their own personal opinions of what can be done to get us out of this mess. We talked about Attorney General Curtis Hill, and Dakota questions how any sane person can believe that he is innocent with the information that we know. Towards the end of the show, the guys talked about the Brussels NATO Summit and whether or not Trump was right to call out our allies during the meeting.</p>

<p>In the episode leading up to Jeremiah’s wedding, the listeners finally get to meet the legendary cousins; Donnie Morrell and “Cousin Rick.” The topics were the Krupp Cannon dedication that happened at Henry County’s Memorial Park and other 4th of July holiday celebrations, Donnie’s background and the interesting array of careers that he has had in public service. Plus, what story is Donnie hiding? </p>
<p>On the national side, the guys cover the Libertarian National Convention, and why the elections for national leadership turned out (pretty close to) how they hoped. They also talked about Ron Paul’s controversial tweet made in the last week, and Walmart’s poor taste in marketing.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 66 of Boss Hog of Liberty is in your news feed.<br />
Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are Sean Row and Chase Peyton. <br />
We talk weekend events, Jer & Chase keep going fishing. Jeremiah is in the final weeks before marriage. Is Chase next? Dakota has jury duty coming up. Can he serve since he knows Sean, the public defender to the stars? What are his chances of getting on a jury? </p>
<p>The Supreme Court has a vacancy. Jeremiah thinks they should appoint Merrick Garland for the reacts. Or Roy Moore. Perhaps Sean Row is the next man up?</p>
<p>Finally, there are a bunch of new laws coming July 1st. One has something to do with purple paint, another with dams. And something about police taking your stuff.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 64 of Boss Hog of Liberty is in your feed!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis play host for a special Robert Indiana episode. Aaron Dicken and Dick Bouslog had the opportunity to visit the hometown artist at his home “The Star of Hope” in Maine in 2015. Following his passing last month, we wanted to talk about the life, career, and art of our hometown artist. Major Robert Indiana works include “LOVE”, the Mecca basketball floor, and American Dream I. For the podcast listeners, be ready to do some googling, or check out the livestream that was on Facebook or You Tube to see the props!</p>
<p>We also talk a little bit about city and county business, as the gentlemen are city and county councilmen respectively. <br />

One of the students saw me speak in that previous episode about my career and asked me to write and record this for a high school audience. It is a letter to my high school self.</p></p>
<p>“In this open letter produced by Katie Piedra, podcast creator and Bob and Tom Show website director Chris Spangle walks you through his own story.</p>
<p>But that’s not it. In this open letter, there is passion. There are stories. There is self-love. There are lessons.</p>
<p>There is a life for you to reclaim. Chris explains how he conquered – and is still conquering – himself, and how you can overcome your own obstacles.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>         Episode 009: Doctors Getting Worked Over By the ABIM with Dr. Wes Fisher </p>
<p>Once again we revisit the issue of maintenance of certification (MOC) only this time with a lurid tale of conniving, cronyism, and dishonesty. Today’s tale is of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) which is charged with setting the standards for board certification for about one quarter of America’s physicians. Their exploits have made the rounds even in the lay press and many physicians have called for the torches and pitchforks to take on this seemingly corrupt board.</p>
<p>Dr. Wes Fisher stumbled upon the story with the extra time he was afforded while recovering from surgery. The questions he posed publicly was noticed by a forensic accountant, Charles Kroll, who also had time on his hands. Together they have uncovered an almost unbelievable tale of corruption, million dollar offshore accounts, downtown real estate purchases, and missing tax filings all on the backs of the physicians they claim to support.</p>
<p>     </p>
<p>Join Eric and Wes as they tell the tale of the ABIM and how they abuse their own physicians with little respect for their time, talents, or money. Whether you are a physician or not, you will want to get involved and visit the GoFundMe page to begin a class action lawsuit against the ABIM and its parent organization, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). I donated after the show and urge you to do the same – even $5.</p>
<p>  Dr. Wes Fisher, an electrophysiologist from Chicago, uncovered this tale of corruption and retells it in this episode. </p>

The Cost, a series of We Are Libertarians, is a one-on-one interview that tells the story of an average person as they deal with the outcome of policy. Amanda left an abusive relationship. She tells Chris about her experience being hunted by an ex-husband and defending her and her children from further abuse while every level of the system designed to protect her failed.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 62 of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are joined by Eldon Pitts and Kandice Marie. New Castle Indiana was home to the biggest missing person’s case in the country in the early 20th century, when a young girl name Catherine Winters went missing. A nearly 1000 person search found nothing. </p>
<p>Kandice adapted the story into a play, which then led to a movie Catherine. It was produced, shot, and acted with local talent. We talk about how you make it happen, and Eldon tells us what he thinks actually happened.</p>
<p>A must listen episode. <br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Government policy has a cost. Every law and regulation passed by the government has a human toll. The Cost, a series of We Are Libertarians, is a one-on-one interview that tells the story of an average person as they deal with the outcome of policy. In 2012 (Episode 17), Chris Spangle and Chris Gault interviewed the owner of a roll your own tobacco shop. Because of a new law, they had to lay off 3/4 of their employees in a single day. Megan of the Smoke Station chain explains the real damage that government regulation has on small business owners and their employees. The Smoke Station converted to a vape shop, but was ultimately closed by Indiana excise police after new laws regulating the vaping industry were passed in Indiana and at the federal level.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 59 of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are joined by Brandy Pierce and Matt Pierce. Brandy is an officer with the New Castle Police Department and Matt is a detective in with the Sheriff’s department. Brandy is the K9 handler for the police department. Last year, she was involved in a gunfight where her dog helped to save her life. During the gunfight, she was struck in the vest by a 45 caliber bullet. Brandy tells her story.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, her dog passed, leaving the department without a dog. <br />
The NCPD has always had their dogs privately funded. To raise funds to replace Lex, there are tee shirts being sold, a golf tournament, a tenderloin dinner, and cash donations are also being accepted.</p>
<p>We also talk about the road construction in town, Jeremiah almost getting arrested in a parking garage, Dakota’s dog digging up something spooky, and we talk a bit more about the Henry County Jail.</p>

<p>Adam also responds to questions from the audience, ranging from his differences with potential 2020 LP nominee/2016 LP vice presidential candidate Bill Weld to his ability to connect with voters who are outside of libertarian circles.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>        Episode 006: “Doc, I’m Over Here, That’s Just a Computer Screen.” Why Don’t Electronic Health Records Help with Dr. Ken Fisher </p>
<p>Electronic health records (EHRs) were supposed to revolutionize the way we practice medicine. They were going to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and radically change we take care of patients. EHRs have managed just one of those goals – radically change the way we take care of patients – but not in a good way. As people taking care of patients we spend more time clicking, typing, and searching for critical information than we do in laying on of hands and talking to those who are ill.</p>
<p>How did this happen? Computers and electronic record systems have made many aspects of our economy so much better. We can order food online, carry maps in our pockets to never get lost (unless you’re a new teenage driver), and efficiently order products to minimize waste. But few of these benefits present themselves in hospitals despite billion dollar efforts to computerize everything.</p>
<p>Dr. Ken Fisher joins me as we try to get to the bottom of why we have these clunky EHR systems and why they don’t work as advertised. How did they come to pass and why is the market for EHRs dominated by so few products.</p>
<p>As the author of a popular book titled Understanding Health Care: A Historical Perspective, we also get sidetracked to discuss ways to improve upon the delivery of health care in general. Specifically, we discuss HSAs and Medicaid spending.</p>
<p>Dr. Fisher is a nephrologist in Kalamazoo, MI who has run multiple residency and fellowship programs and has been published both in scientific journals and the lay press.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 56 of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!<br />
Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are joined by Chase Peyton in the third chair, and Congressional Candidate Jonathan Lamb returns for his second appearance.</p>
<p>Dakota is providing updates on the sports desk as the 1st round of the NFL draft happens. Jeremiah is devastated as the Bronco’s selected Chubb. Chase is equally sad when the Colts stole his Nelson, the guard he wanted for his Bears. Dakota is indifferent as always.</p>
<p>Jonathan Lamb tells us about his grassroots campaign, putting more than 30,000 miles on his Chevy Pickup crossing 18 counties in eastern Indiana. Jonathan is running in a race for an open seat, but is facing a crowded field that includes the brother of our Vice President. We talk about wars, Syrian conflict, tariffs, debt, 10th amendment, the war on drugs, jails, and much more.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 54 of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!<br />
Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are joined by Danny Morrell in the third chair, and Adam Bowman is the featured guest.</p>
<p>Jeremiah accidentally deleted Dakota and Audrey’s episode of Tinfoil Time for the Patreon supporters. Danny and Jeremiah visited Rushville and attended race night with Tony Stewart and Donald Davidson. Dakota learned about the genius of Doug Flutie. </p>
<p>We talked about Adam Bowman’s motivation to run for office (Henry County Council, District 1 as a Republican), his background in law enforcement and manufacturing. Topics include jails, possible tax increases, roads, wind, economic development, transparency, and the doughboy project.</p>
<p>Dakota visited the county voter registration office and did some homework. The details of his trip and what came of it are a great story. Jeremiah contrasts Henry County with Wayne County and their approach to document availability.</p>
<p>This is the first of THREE episodes this week in our candidate series.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 53 of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!<br />
Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are joined by Kade Koger in the third chair, and Kenon Gray is the featured guest.</p>
<p>Jeremiah and Dakota confess to the creation of the New Castle Turkey Page. Learn about the behind the scenes and the monument. Amazing community unity around dead poultry!  The guys covered the Memorial Park Board meeting early in the week. There are turkey tee shirts for sale.</p>
<p>Jeremiah has an open letter to all candidates in the 6th Congressional district race for congress. We have responses from Lamb, Ferkinhoff, Pruett, Lake, and Siekman. Those will all be posted as a note on the Boss Hog Facebook page.</p>
<p>We continue our candidate series with Kenon Gray. Talking about his race to be a county councilman. We talk transparency in government, wind, jails, and possible future tax increases that he thinks could pay for a jail.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 52 of Boss Hog of Liberty is now available!<br />
Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are joined by emergency backup co-host Chase Peyton. Kade Koger was taken down by a 10 month old baby just before the program went live. Our featured guest is Ed Tarantino, a first time candidate for office.</p>
<p>Our community has been overrun by the New Castle Turkey. We embraced the phenomenon and ran a poll about its future. Jeremiah visited Ed’s meet and greet, and had coffee with Lane Siekman’s campaign.</p>
<p>We get to know Ed Tarantino and learn about what motivated him to challenge Butch Baker in this race. We talk jails, land use, wind, parks, roads, and much more.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On this weeks episode of The Brian Nichols Show, I’m joined by the Washington Free Beacon’s Stephen Gutowski to discuss common gun control arguments presented by the left.  </p>
<p>We dig into Stephen’s excellent Google Doc covering common gun issues, as well as discuss the truth regarding guns in America.  After I say goodbye to Stephen, I cover an article from The Washington Post entitled, “I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise” and why helping to educate, enlighten, and informing those in the gun control camp is the best thing we can do to help create converts.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 49 of Boss Hog of Liberty is available now!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are joined by Kade Koger in the co-host chair. We are starting our series interviewing local candidates that are on the May primary ballot. This week we have Susan Huhn, who is challenging the incumbent Republican County council president Nate LaMar. Susan fought off a challenge to get onto the ballot as a Republican.</p>
<p>We discuss the big issues of the day in our community, the infamous “Doughboy Monument” in Henry County Memorial Park, and the latest park board meeting and the controversy around its renovation and relocation. </p>
<p>We also talk with Susan Huhn about potential wind development in the county, proper zoning and one specific project that is being shifted from rural residential to light industrial.<br />
We also get into some great discussions about government transparency, tax abatements, economic development, local option income taxes, and much more!</p>
<p>A great episode to start the local candidate series.<br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week on The Brian Nichols Show, Brian is joined by the nephew of famed conservative author William F. Buckley, Jr and former United States Senator James L. Buckley and current Chairman pro tem of The Federalist Party of America, William “Bill” F. Buckley O’Reilly.</p>
<p>Brian and Bill walk through the platform of the newly formed Federalist Party of America, discussing federalism, the Constitution, term limits, and more.  Together, they discuss where libertarians and “federalists” can find common ground to help bring those principles to Washington D.C. (with the goal of shrinking the federal government and restoring power to the state and local governments).</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 48 of Boss Hog of Liberty is available now!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are joined by Chase Peyton in the co-host chair. The featured guest is Scott Fleener. Scott served in the US Army before he was medically discharged.</p>
<p>Scott shares his experiences in the Army, being stationed in South Korea as an MP (Military Police). Scott was discharged this winter after suffering a medical emergency, and is now going to continue his education at Ball State University.</p>
<p>During his time in the service, he transitioned to Libertarianism and discovered Gary Johnson. Spoiler alert, Scott didn’t know where Aleppo was either.</p>
<p>Dakota spent an entire Friday trying to get answers to his story on the dispute between the Henry County Council, Auditor, Sheriff’s department, and commissioners over where funds were budgeted and if the proper process is being followed.<br />
Chase has the breaking sports scores from the NCAA tournament, plausibly live.</p>
<p>Jeremiah previews the next few weeks of shows as we follow the local primary election races.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On today’s episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian digs into the aftermath of the Parkland shooting, including the push from those survivors push for gun control.  In this episode, Brian breaks down the eerily similar parallels that exist between the likes of the modern gun control movement and the Prohibition movement of the early 20th century.</p>
<p>While David Hogg, like Carry Nation, experienced traumatic moments in their lives, does that make them more credible in terms of their advocacy for taking away law-abiding citizen’s rights?  Do we ignore the potential unintended consequences of policy when we believe that the policy is moral, noble, virtuous, and just?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Episode 46 of Boss Hog of Liberty is available now!</p>
<p>Jeremiah Morrell and Dakota Davis are joined this week by Chase Peyton making his grand return in the fourth chair. Jeremiah went to the boys sectional game in New Castle and performed an undercover mission for this week’s show. Dakota spent some time at Norris English Pub and even received a free glass! </p>
<p>Our featured guest is Dave Ring. Dave is one of two Democrat candidates seeking nomination to run for the District 26 State Senate seat. From Albany, IN, Dave owns and operates The Downtown Farm Stand in Muncie, IN. Dave is a self-described “Berniecrat” meaning he sides heavily with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. </p>
<p>We discuss the issues that Dave has faced running a campaign without money from special interest groups or corporations, and what it’s like to run outside of the establishment. He feels the people of District 26 deserve choices and the guys could not agree more. </p>
<p>Jeremiah and Dakota run through the list of issues that are on the Dave Ring website and the solutions he would propose. A lot of time was spent on CAFO’s and furthering regulations, gerrymandering reform, CBD oil/medical marijuana, and the opioid epidemic. <br />
Finally, Chase Peyton runs us through a sports update and explains his new look. Dakota reveals that there will be big news coming from the County Council this week, and Jeremiah reminds everyone to buy tickets for the Area 6 Libertarian Convention. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On this special episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Brian is joined with former White House/Congressional policy adviser and former FreedomWorks Vice President, Dean Clancy!  Brian and Dean dig into the the latest budget deals, the Libertarian Party and promoting libertarian policy, and discuss how we can address the gun control issue after the latest public shooting.</p>
<p>Is the Trump budget actually a fiscally conservative budget?  Is it better to have a government controlled by one political party, or split control between two political parties?  Is the Libertarian Party actually the best means to promote libertarian principles and to enact libertarian policy?  And finally, how do gun rights activists win the debate with gun control advocates?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Robin Miller joins the Boss Hog of Liberty team for our first phone interview.  Jeremiah Morrell, Dakota Davis, Danny Morrell, and Chris Spangle chat with Robin about local sports topics ranging from IHSAA basketball legend Marion Pierce, to New Castle Motor Sports Park being the first class racing gem of our community. </p>
<p>Robin is entering his 50th year of covering Indycar and championship racing, along with his career covering the Indianapolis Colts, Pacers, and IU Basketball. Robin tells us about how the Unser family couldn’t rent a car in the continental United States, how Dan Gurney and AJ Foyt are some of the greatest legends he covered. </p>
<p>We discuss Robin’s latest piece on Racer.com previewing the expected field for the Indy 500. Danica Patrick let the word slip that she is going to be at Ed Carpenter Racing for the 500. Robin highlights her success at Indianapolis and her chances for a great finish at this year’s race. Conor Daly is expected to have a ride with Dale Coyne Racing. No worries about having a field of 33 this year.</p>
<p>The guys are all going to take Dakota to his first Indy 500 experience this May. If you want to join them, jump on Indy500.com and get your tickets. Look for them in the turn 3 infield.</p>
