You might think this episode is about Elon Musk, but it's about the regime trying to squash dissident voices. They enlist John Oliver to try to ridicule him into submission, and I break it down.

"Stop The Price Gouging!" Biden tries to blame government failure on corporations; inflation slows but prices are still up-up-up; and is it possible to be a clear thinker? Applying some Modern Wisdom to politics. Follow me @DropTheMaskPod on X!

Revisiting 1974, where voters' concerns are inflation, cost of living, women in politics, and getting young, fresh voices into government. Sound familiar? Murray Rothbard makes a cameo, telling it like it is-- "It's the same political hogwash" And the very first guest on Drop the Mask, Derek Wills! Author of 'The Liberty Solution' and X-cellent social media "X-ays", @AncapAir joins me to talk about the morality of voting.

Elizabeth Warren is salivating over CBDCs, blaming everything on crypto and bitcoin while the government tries to keep its monopoly on currency. Why aren't people swayed by truth? Almost everyone will tell you truth is important to them, but their actions indicate otherwise.

Nikki Haley wants you to show your face online. Why that's a horrible idea, plus progressive confessions from Trevor Noah.

We’re all being brainwashed. It’s happening all around you. All the time, and everywhere. Any time you see an ad, watch a video, read an article, or even glance at the news while you’re on the treadmill at the gym. These things are all designed to evoke a response in your brain to take some kind of action. To buy a product, to get you to click or scroll to the next thing, to stoke your fire of righteous indignation and cast a vote for this politician or that. Luckily, you can learn to spot the signs of brainwashing, and help yourself and people you care about avoid the big traps. In this episode we identify some of those signs, critique a political model, and discuss a “fresh” new way of getting out of the national debt.

Episode 1 - Hoch Die Anarchie! "I do not recognize your law, jumbled together as it is by the nobodies of bygone centuries... I am the enemy of the 'order' of today, and I repeat that, with all my powers, so long as breath remains in me, I shall combat it." Louis Lingg rebukes the court as they pass a death sentence on him. He stood falsely accused of bombing a crowd during the Haymarket Riot in 1886. Rather than allow the state to hang him, he detonated an explosive in his mouth, and allegedly scrawled "Hoch die Anarchie!" (Hurrah for anarchy) on the jail cell wall in his own blood while dying. He's an extreme example, but it's a hell of a story. And he clearly understood that the system was not all it is cracked up to be. The state is guilty of many crimes against its own citizens, and it's not something new. Here I introduce the show and some examples of how government interferes with prosperity and peace. There are some ideas that may sound radical to many people, but that's because we've never known anything but this undercover slavery. Listen in and let me know what you think!
