After his victory last night UFC fighter Renato Moicano grabbed the mic from announcer Joe Rogan and said, among other things, “If you care about your . . . country read Ludwig von Mises.”  As of around 5 PM EST today The Theory of Money and Credit (Skyhorse Publishing edition) by Mises was ranked #1 in sales of all books on Amazon on monetary economics; #1 of all books on international economics; and #2 of all books on economic theory.

By now you may be aware of Brazilian fighter Renato Moicano going all fiery on promoting the ideas of Ludwig von Mises and Austrian Economics following his latest victory on April 13th. Since that speech went viral on social media our Mises Institute website is exploding with Mises book downloads, and three Mises books just hit the top ten in Economics on Amazon. This is a huge opportunity for the Mises Institute and the promotion of free-markets and Austrian Economics.

Most people are only posting the abbreviated speech from Renato. Below I am posting the longer conversation with Joe Rogan (almost 2 minutes).

During the biggest fight card in human history one of the baddest mfers on the planet said “read Ludwig von Mises motherfuckers”

And “the greatest series of public war crimes in living memory.”  Ron Unz on “Israeli Assassinations.”

That’s the subtitle of Frank Chodorov’s classic, The Income Tax: Root of All Evil.  Among the evils that he discusses are:

• Enabling government to put its hands in everyone’s pockets.
• Drawing the public’s allegiance away from its local governments to Washington, D.C.
• Causing citizens to have less control over faraway federal representatives.
• Making citizens subject to the whims of federal politicians.
• Causing state governments to lose their autonomy.
• Causing state governments to become subservient to Washington, not their citizens.
• Enabling the federal government to bribe and threaten state governments, forcing them to bend to its will.
• All of this was the final nail in the coffin of federalism and the establishment of centralized, monopolistic government.
• Turned Americans into slaves of the state.  As Chodorov wrote, the income tax amendment effectively said:  “Your earnings are not exclusively your own.  We will allow you to keep some of it, because we recognize your need, but not your right; but whatever we grant you for yourself is for us to decide . . . .  The amount of your earnings that you may retain for yourself is determined by the needs of the government, and you have nothing to say about it.”

When Mises makes it mainstream like this, it’s like a dream:

James O’Keefe strikes again with the truth about the corrupt, criminal state.

This comprehensive article references dozens of books, articles, and documentaries on the early Cold War, including the arrest, trial and execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. What was the role of Ethel’s brother, David Greenglass in these pivotal events? And what about the role of Theodore (Ted) Hall and the Venona transcripts of decoded espionage messages to the Soviets?

With the notoriety and interest spurred on by the movie Oppenheimer, America’s Untold Stories has tackled the story of David Greenglass, brother of Ethel Rosenberg, who along with her husband Julius, were convicted of spying for the Soviet Union, including providing top-secret information about American radar, sonar, jet propulsion engines, and nuclear weapon designs.

According to a 2001 book by his former handler Alexander Feklisov, Rosenberg was originally recruited to spy for the interior ministry of the Soviet Union, NKVD, on Labor Day 1942 by a former spymaster, Semyon Semyonov.

Not only is Robert Barnes a master litigator and top-notch attorney but one of the most in depth, articulate, well read and street-smart experienced political analysts in the nation. Whether it involves the institutionalized criminal machine cartels of the Democrats and Republicans or the deep state, he is a true polymath reminiscent of Murray N. Rothbard in his power elite analysis of Realpolitik.

This weekend in Las Vegas there is a massive celebratory event with enthusiastic people and well-wishers gathered from across the country to commemorate Robert Barnes 50th birthday and help raise funds for the 1776 Law Center.

This is Part Two of Dr Mark Bailey being interviewed by Paul Hellier about the new book, “The Final Pandemic: An Antidote To Medical Tyranny” , written by Mark and his wife, Dr Sam Bailey.

In Part Two they discuss censorship and the changing world of media lies and how more people are seeking out information to arm themselves with better ways to be healthy and avoid further control by establishment medicine.

They dissect Germ Theory, Alleged “Viruses,” Diagnostic Tests, and “Treatments”  as well “Drugs” and “Vaccines.”

Importantly they discuss how these have developed into a public belief system that’s not only counterproductive to health but is frequently life shortening and even immediately deadly.

The Final Pandemic  simply and succinctly helps people understand the Contagion Myth we all were brought up to believe – and why there’s no reason the fear “death-dealing ‘germs.”

This interview will help people realize there’s no need to live in fear or participate in these man-made “crises” – ever again.

Listen to it HERE (48min)

Part One is HERE and their new book is HERE.

Highly Recommended.

Yes Laurence, shame on Southern Baptist “leaders” for urging the House speaker to send more bullets, guns, and bombs to Ukraine so that they can kill more Russian Christians.  According to a Pew Research Center poll, as many as 71 percent of Russians are Christians.  And, the Ukrainian government has banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Southern Baptist “leaders” are religious frauds.

For urging U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, a member and former official of their denomination, to send more U.S. taxpayer dollars to Ukraine.

Imagine that!

The World is quickly learning that we don’t “catch” diseases.

In 2020 with the onset of the COVID-19 era, Daniel Roytas started questioning much of what he thought were scientific facts and embarked on a new phase of private research.

He launched the Humanley platform and has featured discussions with many of the world’s foremost heterodox thinkers in health and science.

As part of this journey he has just published an incredible new book titled “Can You Catch A Cold?“.

It is the culmination of several years of focussed research and takes its place as the most comprehensive account of human contagion experiments ever seen.

This one-of-a-kind book is a must read and reveals many of the buried and inconvenient clinical experiments that go against germ theory and the mainstream claims.

This LRC blog post is a follow-up to my earlier How the CIA Bamboozled The Public For 70 Years:

Tucker Carlson Tonight 4/8/24: The national security state is the main driver of censorship and election interference in the United States. “What I’m describing is military rule,” says Mike Benz. “It’s the inversion of democracy.” This powerful must-see interview is one of the most incisive and revealing authoritative factual presentations I have ever viewed. Truly mind-blowing in detail and the implications it puts forth.

The CIA and the Media, by Carl Bernstein

How Americas Most Powerful News Media Worked Hand in Glove with the Central Intelligence Agency and Why the Church Committee Covered It Up

Power Elite Analysis (also called Libertarian Class Analysis or Establishment Studies) is a theme I have repeatedly stressed at LRC to understand both present-day and past historical events. Knowledge is power. Empower yourself by learning about Power Elite Analysis and how it impacts specifically upon the welfare-warfare state and the parasitical elites which benefit from this leviathan within our midst.

In July of 2010, Angelo Codevilla’s magnificent manifesto, “The Ruling Class: How They Corrupted America and What We Can Do About It” was published initially online in The American Spectator (and later in book form). It immediately went viral on the Internet and started a widespread national conversation about America’s hubristic power elite and the arrogant way they reign over the rest of us.

When Codevilla’s article appeared, I stated that it was the most important essay I had ever read. I still believe this because it is a superb synthesis of class analysis with keen insights on contemporary power elite relationships regarding today’s rulers and the ruled.

This class division of present-day America into two factions, Court and Country, has absolutely nothing to do with any Marxian view or analysis. It is a reaffirmation of the seminal insights of Bernard Bailyn’s Pulitzer Prize winning volume, The Ideological Origins of the American Revolution, and Murray N. Rothbard’s Conceived in Liberty.

These books demonstrate that the Founders’ world-view saw the crucial struggle of the Revolution as a battle of liberty versus power. Codevilla posits today’s battle in the same dramatic terms.

This is the central theme this article will develop below.

An understanding of power elite analysis is the “litmus test” separating real libertarians from alternative lifestyle dilettantes dabbling in free market theory. This examination of causal relationships regarding the nature and scope of political power, who has it and how it is exercised, is crucial to understanding the State as organized crime.

The similarity between this analysis and what researcher Peter Dale Scott calls “Deep Politics,” the critical examination of the sub-rosa reality behind surface events, are both attempts to unmask the true face of power, exposing the elite social, economic, and financial groups and individuals who benefit from the exercise of State coercion. 669097

Until the 1890s, American history was essentially presented as the development of the Eastern seaboard states, seen as an extension overseas of English history or an episode in European overseas expansion. The origins of American ethnopolitical culture were Teutonic (or Germanic) in nature. This type of analysis focused upon the original thirteen colonies of the United States, and explained the evolution of America westward through the development of these political communities. This racist Teutonic Germ Theory of History was dominant among the academic and governing elites at the close of the Nineteenth Century in the United States and Great Britain. Senator Albert J. Beveridge spoke for this generation when he stated in support of an American Empire:

“Mr. President, this question is deeper than any question of party politics; deeper than any question of the isolated policy of our country even; deeper even than any question of constitutional power. It is elemental. It is racial. God has not been preparing the English-speaking and Teutonic peoples for a thousand years for nothing but vain and idle self-contemplation and self-admiration. No! He has made us the master organizers of the world to establish system where chaos reigns. He has given us the spirit of progress to overwhelm the forces of reaction throughout the earth. He has made us adepts in government that we may administer government among savage and senile peoples. Were it not for such a force as this the world would relapse into barbarism and night. And of all our race He has marked the American people as His chosen nation to finally lead in the regeneration of the world. This is the divine mission of America, and it holds for us all the profit, all the glory, all the happiness possible to man. We are trustees of the world’s progress, guardians of its righteous peace. The judgment of the Master is upon us: “Ye have been faithful over a few things; I will make you ruler over many things.”

This was a crucial time in American intellectual history. Scholars as divergent as Murray N. Rothbard and G. William Domhoff have documented the impact of thousands of key academics such as Richard T. Ely, Herbert Baxter Adams, and John W. Burgess who received their graduate training in Germany during this period, dominated by the rise of Bismarck’s welfare-warfare state. They returned home imbued with these ideas, which their apt pupils such as Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson transformed into hard reality.

This worship of the newly-discovered wonders of statism, combined with the influx of Darwinian evolutionary naturalism,”social imperialism,” Fabian socialism imported from Great Britain, the increasing secularization of postmillennial evangelical pietism, all provided the satanic breeding ground for the incubus that emerged as progressivism – complete with its elite notions of centralized political/economic planning, aggressive nationalism, eugenics and the idea of “race suicide.” Ideas truly have consequences.

Therefore historians have subsequently long recognized that this Progressive Era, 1900 to 1920, was a critical watershed in American political-economic and intellectual history.

It was the gestation period of the modern welfare-warfare state.

The Progressive Era was the subject of economist/historian Murray N. Rothbard’s greatest and most incisive book — The Progressive Era

So many crucial events and legislative enactments occurred in the period such as the birth of the Federal Reserve banking cartel, the Harrison Narcotics Act, the Pure Food and Drug Act, the ascendancy of the Eugenics movement and “scientific racism,” the passage of the Sixteenth Amendment and the progressive income tax, the Seventeenth Amendment and the popular election of U. S. senators, the Eighteenth Amendment and Prohibition, the Nineteenth Amendment and women’s suffrage,  and the abandonment of America’s traditional non-interventionist foreign policy, first following the Spanish-American War (Cuba and the Philippine Insurrection) in Latin America and Mexico, and more decisively in the First World War in Europe.

It was a time when a new ideological rationalization of state power was being shaped.

The Progressive Era saw the birth of the cult of efficiency, with the new administrative state’s apolitical credentialed experts gingerly guiding public-policy instead of the archaic rule of political bosses and their ethnic urban political machines. Or, at least that was what was supposed to happen according to Progressives such as Herbert Croly, Walter Lippmann, Robert LaFollette, Jane Addams, Richard Ely, Lincoln Steffens, Theodore Roosevelt or Woodrow Wilson.

Once upon a time there existed a scholarly consensus concerning the Progressive Era among liberal “court historians” of academia and popular history. These historians such as Richard Hofstadter, Arthur Link, George Mowry, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., held the uniform and unshakable belief that the “progressive reforms” enacted during this era were popular efforts by the people against the elite business interests dominating American political life.

Then in the early 1960s, all Hell broke loose.

The provocative historian tossing the stick of dynamite into the staid liberal consensus was Gabriel Kolko. That incendiary was The Triumph of Conservatism: A Reinterpretation of American History, 1900-1916.

Kolko was soon joined by other New Left colleagues under the tutelage of William Appleman Williams in challenging the reigning “corporate liberal” orthodoxy. Rather than “the people” being behind these “progressive reforms,” it was the very elite business interests themselves responsible, in an attempt to cartelize, centralize and control what was impossible due to the dynamics of a competitive and decentralized economy.

One of the first historians and economists to see the importance of Kolko’s revolutionary interpretation was Murray N. Rothbard.

In the academic jargon of a Hegelian dialectical triad, here is what happened:

First there was the reigning liberal orthodoxy (thesis), challenged by the New Left revisionist interpretation (antithesis). Rothbard, using the insights of Austrian free market economics and Libertarian class analysis, built upon the New Left critique and created a new Libertarian historiography (synthesis) that has been carried on by scholars such as Roy A. Childs, Joseph R. Stromberg, and Robert Higgs.

Rothbard also discovered the “missing link” in this whole story, the role of statist postmillennial evangelical Protestants, born around the time of the Civil War, in fomenting the Progressive Era.

These ideological change agents, many of whom became increasingly secularized, abandoned their religious faith but not their evangelical belief in statism.

They were the key to the rise of the welfare–warfare state in America.

The history of the Progressive Era has never been the same since.

The minimum wage outlaws jobs. The only question is which jobs are outlawed. In California, any job that can be done for less than $20 are illegal in fast food chains. Naturally, prices for consumers will go up, workers are laid off (thanks to a law!) while automation, kiosks and robotics replace them. Smaller businesses go out of business, or are never started; while big businesses adapt with much greater ease. Sounds a lot like the policies that were imposed under covid, doesn’t it? But this time, the tool of choice is the minimum wage law.

I have been a libertarian since November of 1970. I have worked on over 30 electoral and ballot petition campaigns across the country, from local races to serving on the senior national staff of a presidential campaign. I think it imperative that at this time for everyone (Libertarians, Democrats, Republicans, Independents)  to do everything they can to support Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential candidacy (and particularly not quibble about how they may disagree with him on this minor issue or another). No candidate is perfect, (Think of Gary Johnson and William Weld.) RFK is challenging the despotic tyranny and regimentation of the governing elites composing the regulatory captured bureaucratic administrative state and its corrupt crony enablers, particularly in Big Pharma, the warmongers of the military industrial complex, and the invasive surveillance/intelligence deep state at the core of this infamy. He has spent most of his life engaged in this struggle against the sinister deep state forces that murdered his father Senator Robert F. Kennedy and his uncle President John F. Kennedy.
