Episode #32 - Hang the Fear Mongers - It's Time to Lose the Fear of COVID-19 May 05, 2020

Show notes

The lock downs are ending and the fear mongering is ramping up. The natives are getting restless and the powers that be are desperately trying to hold onto their useful idiots who think being afraid of a bad cold makes them the smartest people on the planet.
This week we look at fear, the reasons for why they stoke it and why it's beyond time to be outraged about this and reject all forms of government control. The great Scott Adams has reached the state of exasperation and it's a beautiful thing to see.
Our politicians are spineless weasels who cannot protect us from the predators looking to destroy civilization for their own gain and their own power. Time to get back to doing the real work of the world.

Episode #31 - Patrick Henningsen and TEOTWAWKI Side of COVID-19 Apr 28, 2020

Show notes

This week I sit down with journalist and radio host Patrick Heningsen of 21st Century Wire and the host of the weekly show Sunday Wire to discuss the civilizational effects of the COVID-19 lock down and why it has gone on far too long. Patrick brings a breath of needed fresh air into the debate of the efficacy of locking people in their homes while I try to bridge the gap to the economic and psychological devastation the policy has engendered.
Sit back relax and know that this is a long one, but one of the best conversations I've had in quite a long time.

Episode #30 - David Stockman and the Numbers of COVID-19 Apr 21, 2020

Show notes

This week I sit down with David Stockman, former Director of the Office of Management and Budget under Ronald Reagan and the Publisher of Contra Corner to discuss the pure insanity of the lock down associated with COVID-19, which has now created the Coronapocalypse for our economy and that of nations around the world.
David and I take a hard, practical look at the real numbers, inflated though they may be, and how damming they are of the policy of shuttering the U.S. economy while it's clear now that we have good information that this pandemic is not much more than a 3-5% increase on the medical infrastructure of of the U.S.
The reality is that the effects on people's lives will be far worse for those that live than those that died, creating an economic depression that dwarfs even the Great Depression of the 1930's.

Episode #29 - Gabriel Scheare and the Dream vs. Reality of Going Galt Apr 14, 2020

Show notes

This week I sit down with an intrepid young man, Gabriel Scheare, who's working very hard on a project down in Chile called Fort Galt. It's like talking to an even-more committed younger version of myself, going off into the wilds of southern Chile to build a life as free from external interference as possible.
If there is something that binds us all together it is the need for community and family. And the drive to achieve that on our own terms is all even the most radical flower-throwing libertarian asks for.
Success, failure, satisfaction, travail and toil. These are the essence of our humanity and why leading by example is the only way to show people the path out of the dark place our society has gone to in recent years.

Episode #28 - Alex Mercouris and the New Cold War with China Apr 07, 2020

Show notes

This week I sit down for another chat with one of my favorite analysts on all things geopolitical, Alexander Mercouris, editor-in-chief of The Duran. Alex and I explore his thesis of a new Cold War emerging between the U.S. and China, which now replaces that of the one between the U.S. and Russia.
It's a dynamic situation that is accelerating quickly thanks to the disastrous effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the insane power grab globally being orchestrated by the neoliberal oligarchy I like to call The Davos Crowd. And it's becoming increasingly clear to Trump that remnants of the Clinton and Obama regimes are working in conjunction with China to undermine both his presidency and what's left of U.S. sovereignty.

Episode #27 - COVID-19 Denial and the Generational Divide Mar 31, 2020

Show notes

The longer this shut down of the world economy goes on the more the generational divide will manifest itself between the declining, didactic and condescending Baby Boomers and their hard-bitten kids from Gen X.
The power grabs, the money printing, the push for global government is all part of the desperation of a failing Utopian fantasy which the Boomers cling to like moss to a cliff while society itself hangs in the balance.
This week I discuss why this is and where we're headed and what we can expect to see once we all emerge from our homes to see the world they've wrought.

Episode #26 - Mike Shedlock and the Threat of MMT in the Age of COVID-19 Mar 24, 2020

Show notes

As the world goes into lock down over the threat of COVID-19 coronavirus I take a few minutes to remind everyone that it is the government response to this destruction of the private sector economy is the real threat to not only our liberty but our health as a people, a society and a culture.
The latest siren's call will be for MMT or Modern Monetary Theory which is just Greenbacks Revisited and was the precursor to what is failing now before our eyes, the General Theory of John Manyard Keynes.
Also, Mike "Mish" Shedlock and I sit down for a 40 minute talk about what we can do practically from an Austro-libertarian perspective to mitigate some of the worst of what's coming knowing that the governments will do something we'd prefer they did some of the things we advocate for here rather than the full-on lunacy of MMT and the nascent Green New Deal and fascist take over of the global economy.
Monetary history and theory are important and the narrative is coming at us fast.

Episode #25 - The Fall of Central Banking and the Rise of Amazon Mar 17, 2020

Show notes

The Fed and the ECB fired their trillion dollar bazookas only to see them fizzle. It'll take a lot more than that to restore confidence in their ability to contain the contagion. And I don't think they can do it.
Join me for an epic rant about the failure of bank socialism, why the EU cannot compete with the U.S. politically and how the tragedy in Italy will hasten their exit from the European Union.
And as we contemplate those things Amazon comes out leading the way to prioritize alleviating suffering by deploying its staggering logistics infrastructure. This is the way the free market puts socialism to rest by serving people's needs rather than sniping about their motives.
At the end of the day do you care why Amazon got you your food or medicines fast or just that they did.

Episode #24 - Whitney Webb and Web of Lies in Afghanistan Mar 10, 2020

Show notes

This week I sit down for a chat with investigative journalist Whitney Webb to discuss here latest work uncovering the history of the recently announced U.S./Taliban Afghanistan peace deal. Whitney does a fantastic job of breaking down the major players, the likelihood of success and what the real motivations for the U.S. in signing this deal are.
From there we take the discussion global to cover the political and economic consequences to the coronavirus outbreak and to what extent governments around the world will use this as an excuse to impose new draconian controls over their populaces.
Finally, in the last section we take some time to reflect on how all of this effects the current panic in the equity and dollar-funding markets.

Episode #23 - Is it Super Tuesday or Stupid Shrews-day for Democrats Mar 03, 2020

Show notes

The Democrats go to the polls ready to cast their votes for a far smaller field than we were expecting with the surprise suspension of the campaigns of both Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar. This calculated move was done to help shore up support for Joe Biden and possibly Mike Bloomberg with the hope of creating a brokered convention so that Hillary Clinton can ride in on her broom and save the DNC from the filthy progressive insurgents.
This is a reflection of the abject fear the Baby Boomers in power have of losing their hard-fought campaign to remake humanity in their soft-peddled version of communism and rapacious wealth destruction.
Into this incredibly fragile system of interlocking fragile systems comes a simple virus which threatens to topple all of the apple carts simultaneously and it's becoming pretty clear that the fight over the last few bits of the corpse of their societal ruin is increasing in intensity.
