Guest: Pete Quiñones - Examining Localism, Defensive Democracy and The Bottom Up Revolution

Peter R. Quiñones is managing editor of the Libertarian Institute and hosts the Free Man Beyond the Wall podcast. He released his first book, Freedom Through Memedom – The 31-day Guide to Waking Up to Liberty in November 2017. It reached #4 in the Libertarian Section on Amazon. He has spoken at Liberty Forum in Manchester, New Hampshire and is one of the Executive Producers on the documentary, “The Monopoly on Violence" which brought anarchism to the forefront of the mainstream.

Quiñones has since become an advocate for creating change through local politics otherwise known as localism. By taking over local political positions, groups of people can shield themselves from the tyranny of larger governments like the fed. This has long been a controversial topic but as Quiñones puts it, COVID has ushered in a new level of Tyranny, like we haven't seen. 

During the conversation we discuss the FDA authorizing the vaccination of children ages 5-11-years-old. We also discuss Hans Herman Hoppe's "What Must Be Done" speech from 1997, can liberty be salvaged through defensive democracy, the pragmatism versus principle debate and if localism should replace the end goal of delegitimizing the State and Voluntaryism.

• If big tech specifically targeted our organizations because we threatened them.
• How 'The Purge' affected the trajectory of our lives.
• How alt media affected the way Mainstream media covered protests like Standing Rock.
• How Trump didn't realize he was helping push the "fake news" narrative.
• How the Washington Post helped sell establishment lies for blatant censorship and targeted independent journalists.
• How the newest Facebook whistle blower, Frances Haugen could likely be an establishment plant.
• How Facebook is anything but a private company.
• How and why a NATO think tank helped target alt media.
• The different treatment for corporate and government whistleblowers.
• How the Biden administration protects previous administration war criminals.
• Why we should stay optimistic about the future of the internet and how the establishment is radicalizing people by censoring dissident thought.

Guest: Judd Weiss - Stories From The Campaign Trail with John McAfee & The Real Question We Should Be Asking

Is John McAfee's death conspiracy theory the REAL distraction? Was John's death his final troll?
 
This week's podcast is a conversation from a live interview Jason Bassler did with Judd Weiss during the John McAfee memorial in Los Angeles. Judd Weiss was John McAfee's Vice Presidential Candidate during his Libertarian Party Presidential campaign in both 2016 and 2020. Judd shares how John would spend all night thinking of ways to troll the media, the hilarious advice he gave him as his running mate, the one time he asked John to take down a Facebook post, character assassination, paranoia, and sabotage in the world of politics while on the campaign trail. Judd also shared his thoughts on the current Libertarian Party and how it's a "dog kennel," the Mises caucus and how all attempts for politics ends up creating more conflict. We also touched on the California cannabis scene, which Judd has a business in and how statist "legalization" activists corrupted the local industry. We ended with final thoughts about the late great Mr McAfee.

Guest: Rachel Blevins — How the Masses are Conditioned to Accept Endless War

Rachel Blevins is an independent journalist from Texas, who aspires to break the false left/right paradigm in media and politics by pursuing truth and questioning existing narratives. She is a former contributor and editor at the Free Thought Project. She is currently a journalist with RT and one of the best political analysts in independent media. 

Rachel was among the many alternative media personalities wiped away in the great social media purge of 2018 who was never given a reason as to why her 50,000 plus followers were turned into dust with a push of a button.

On today's podcast, Jason and Matt talk with Rachel about the current atrocities being carried out by Israel on the people of Palestine and the media bias that white washes it. We delve deep into the propaganda behind the US military industrial complex and the establishment media spin machine that has conditioned the masses for decades into accepting endless wars and debt at the expense of their children and grandchildren. 

We also talk about the importance of divide and conquer and how it plays a role in this current information war paradigm and how politicians and the media alike have been pushing us further apart for their own benefit.
