Ever wanted to confront the scumbag censors at the ADL and Facebook to their face?

In this clip, I confront the ADL's @YaelEisenstat and Facebook Oversight Board Member @arusbridger (also editor of the Guardian, which ran hit pieces on me shortly after this)

There can be no civilisation without the right to private property.

South Africans think they can abolish private property and still be a civilised country. They're wrong. They're heading back to the Stone Age where might makes right.

Expropriation Without Compensation = theft

Disability claims soaring. A big part of that impressive unemployment rate: if you're living on disability, you're no longer counted.

“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”

@profstonge “Unbacked confetti” is a great epithet for fiat.

@Breaking911 The Constitution gives the power of the purse to Congress with the intent to provide an important check on the executive branch. Either Congress is worthless or the The Constitution is worthless. A rational person would say both.

“Error,” they say. Ukraine is a giant washing machine.

I can’t imagine why this guy would turn down the opportunity to debate @RobertKennedyJr and raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity. It must be because RFK is a conspiracy theorist!

Inflation dropping fast is a centuries-long indicator that economic crisis is coming. Essentially, everybody battens down the hatches as credit evaporates.

Man, @SenatorBrakey is such a goddamn legend!

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Hilarious - this BBC employee, Marianna Spring, resides above the newsroom because she's not just any journalist, but a "disinformation correspondent."

Somehow qualified to identify "disinformation," she adjudicates Truth, while warning that "alternative media" is a menace.

@LPMisesCaucus What a wacky world.

[Liam McCollum @MLiamMcCollum]

Ron Paul during his 1988 presidential race on whether a @LPNational president would be too radical:

“I think the extremists are in government. How can you say someone who wants a balanced budget is a radical extremist?

[A Libertarian presidency] is conciliatory and the only compromise that can work.

Let me give you an example.

The Democrats and Republicans are always arguing about the budget deficits, and they always get together because they both endorse government spending—one for big business and the military-industrial complex and the other for poor man’s welfare—and they get together, and they always raise both.

The Libertarian is the only one that has a reasonable chance of going to the conservative and saying, ‘I do support you. I think you're on the right track on free enterprise and that welfare is out of control.’ And I can go to the liberal and say to the liberal, ‘Yes, I agree with you. There's too much spending in the Pentagon.’”

[Jonathan Newman @NewmanJ_R]

I won't get too optimistic about this, but it seems like way more people are waking up to the fact that fiat paper money is just a scam that allows the government to default in real terms without defaulting in nominal terms.
