Do you agree with Ted Brown from Texas?
Libertarians like Ted Brown want to claw back power from the government and return it to individuals.
Government spends too much, controls too much, spies on citizens while ignoring its own crimes, and will only grow in power if we don't do something about it.
@TheDemocrats and @Republicans have shown us time and again that they only care about your rights when they’re out of power.
It’s time to do something different: Vote Libertarian

@BillyBu38155902@LaLeggeBastiat You are re-writing history to try to justify your blatant double standards.
The Biden Admin pressured Big Tech to censor primarily on COVID.
Big Tech censorship happened long before that, including under the 1st Trum[ Admin, in ways that had nothing to do with the government.
Ten years ago, me, William Norman Grigg and Sheldon Richman founded the Libertarian Institute.
Sadly, Will died just six months later. The whole point of the thing was for me to try to find a way to pay the man some money for all his heroic efforts. At least I did get to pay him a little.
And we published a great collection of his brilliant essays, No Quarter: The Ravings of William Norman Grigg, and 100% of the royalties from it go to his eldest son.
I know that Will would be so proud of all the work we have done over the last decade holding the line for truth, freedom and peace.
Like Will, I know I will not last forever, but I think we have built an institution that will surely outlive me, organized, as it is, around the publication of brilliant essays and shows by the most brilliant minds in the American Liberty Movement.
President Trump and the MAGA movement have sucked a lot of the energy out of the dissident right over the last decade as well, but when he fades from the scene, the fight over the future of America will be led by the libertarians.
We're the only ones who are right about everything.
Thousands of articles and podcasts, 20 published books and counting -- the Libertarian Institute is leading the way, with your help.
We are a 501-c3 non-profit institution, so everything you donate to us, you keep from the War Party.
Especially you wealthy goldbugs and Bitcoin billionaires -- we need a bit of what you've got.
We have no expensive office tower in Washington. Virtually all your funds go to run the site, publish the books and pay our staff and writers just barely enough to keep their lights on. None is wasted, nor will be. I promise you that.
So in the name of the great Will Grigg and ten years of our Institute, please contribute at https://t.co/ufYMPCNZ2A.
And thank you!

It seems like Paxton is trying to bribe voters with free eggs, along with pretending to care about struggling Texans for the first time. It’s the policies of his Orange Master, like arbitrary tariffs and massive debt and deficit spending, that have been causing Texans to have trouble making ends meet.
Me interviewing former State Department INR analyst Wayne White in August of 2007:
Me: "Let's focus more on the consequences, possible consequences. We talked before about sort of the premise is that they're going to sit there and let us bomb them for a couple of weeks, and then we're going to tell them the war is over and they're supposed to go along with that. And that's not how wars work.
You're an expert on this region. Do you have a domino theory? Are you worried that if we start bombing Iran that this could lead to instability in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, in countries, the other stans north of Iran, Russia, China's interests get involved here? I want to hear the possible consequences other than oil is going to be more expensive, and other than the one that we cover every day on this show, which is that our guys in Iraq are going to be subject to being shot in the back by the Shia militias they've been training and arming all this time."
Wayne White:
"One thing that we have to keep in mind is duration. This is perhaps one of the most unnerving things for me about all this.
The last, ironically, the last person who decided to take a whack at the Iranians big time and also was deluded into thinking that such a whack might even bring regime change in Tehran was none other than Saddam Hussein, the man who occupied the same real estate we do out there right now.
And he ended up in an eight-year war that killed or maimed 200,000 Iraqis, not to mention the million Iranians who died in it.
But the million Iranians is very suggestive because it shows that the Iranians are willing to make vast sacrifices to pay you back for what you do in this context.
And so there are a lot of possibilities out there, all the way from activating Hezbollah in Lebanon to retaliate against the Israelis who would be presumed to have had something to do with this, even if it was just encouraging us, to say the least, through Iraq where there could be retaliation on the ground.
And by the way, during a conflict, because even if you are bombing the Iranians day after day after day after day and trying to take out their various anti-ship missiles in the Gulf, air assets and things like that, to make the Gulf retaliation less distressing, the Iranians are not stupid.
And they would be basically firing what they didn't lose the day before into the Gulf if they were in that use-or-lose situation.
And then for years afterward, you could have a simmering, low-level conflict going on with the Iranians poking out this way and that against us.
That's probably what I fear most about this, no endgame.
And there would be no regime change in Tehran after something like this.
If anything, the current regime would be strengthened.
Even probably a lot of reformists followed very hard and shouldered up to the current regime as the only thing representing Iran right now, and therefore we better support our government.
It's a very, very nightmarish scenario in terms of how do you put an end to it.
It almost mirrors the issue of the 2003 war against Iraq, which is, well, now that we're in Baghdad, what do we do?
And we know what happened as a result of that lack of planning."

Anyway, that's what the readers and listeners of Antiwardotcom have known all along. https://t.co/P86rg8mJpL
I told you what they would do.
They denied it vehemently.
I said to ignore their denials.
And then they did it.
Thank you @jimmy_dore for covering this.
