How can we make a responsible choice on such an important issue?
By Foster Gamble of Thrive

vaccineOP1Excerpted briefly from full column on Thrive site here.

Here on the front lines of the vaccine culture wars, not to mention the civil liberties wars, virtually nothing can make me more happy than to see that Thrive is finally weighing in on the important issue of vaccines… with all barrels a-blazin’. Mass deception and inertia seem to have held up the irresistible force of the truth for months now, just as the people in general have reached the threshold of awareness on the hard-to-believe machinations of the medical cartel, Big Pharma, and coercive government agencies. With Thrive on board and its 30+ million views (one million + per month) the alternative and Web media will turn toward reason, freedom, and science, decisively. A breakthru in mainstream is therefore imminent, too… which will powerfully thrust humankind toward the New Paradigm.

All double-fact-checked and science-based, per the Thrive Way. Here goes:

When it comes to vaccines, either you agree to have your child (and/or yourself) injected with some amount of microorganisms and additives, or you don’t. How can caring parents wade through the deluge of conflicting opinions and information surrounding the issue to make the most responsible choice? Continue reading →

Brian’s Column: Of Fantasy Football and Donald Trump

Comments on how my friends (and I, occasionally) ignore the 900# Gorilla

Ol’ Tom said it most eloquently:

“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”

Ignore_2In other words, life goes on. Most people, like my fantasy football league guys and nearly everyone else I’ve ever worked or played golf with, have ‘taken the Blue Pill’ so long ago in their lives—preferring normal lives with children, jobs and careers as best they can, going to church, fitting in with the way things are done without asking any questions—that they literally have no idea what I’m talking about when I suggest the system is lying to them. That, in fact, the system is dangerous to life and limb and needs to change… and that they should ask questions and act to save themselves and all those they love. [They have to recognize, first, what Toto tells them, and then they must DOROTHY UP!]

Now with advent of ‘The Tube‘ it may be too late:[1] as Morpheus notes to Neo in The Matrix, “You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.” Say it isn’t so, Morpheus! These are great guys… productive, bright, generous, funny, a joy to be around…  you mean they’ll never lift a finger to stop wars of aggression, end torture and gross injustice, expose all the Big Lies of the Borg State?! Sadly, I’m afraid that’s just the way things are. For plenty of reasons. Unless… Continue reading →

Book Review: Introduction to the Libertarian Party (2013)

For Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Independents, and everyone else
by Wes Benedict

WesBenedictAnyone who has been around the Libertarian Party (LP) as long as I have—from its founding and with a long absence 1972-1978 and some shorter occasional absences since—can cite a relative handful of books that were LP ‘culture bearers,’ from first presidential candidate John Hospers’ scholarly Libertarianism, to David Bergland’s Libertarianism in One Lesson (now in its < > printing), to Dr. Mary Ruwart’s Healing Our World (coming up on an acclaimed third edition), and of course to all the polemical masterpieces of Professor Murray Rothbard (perhaps the most LP-centered being For a New Liberty). And a host of others that don’t come to mind at the moment.

Wes Benedict’s Introduction to the Libertarian Party is a worthy candidate for an LP book of the times, meaning these times—let’s say late 1990s to the present. It sports several notable features: Continue reading →

Michigan Republicans raise high the banner for peace/sanity in the Middle East
Letters to Congressman Trott from Dennis Marburger and David Lonier

IranLunacyEarlier in the week I received a note from my 14th District Congressman and Home Foreclosure King, David Trott, that he had “heard the people” at his recent town hall calling for an aggressive approach against Iran.[1] Which I take to mean to launch a war of conquest and aggression against Iran to satisfy the Israeli military and foreign policy establishment that runs Washington… and works seamlessly with the US neocon homeys of both parties for aggressive crimes against humanity. I, of course, as a radical libertarian preferring a Ron Paul Freedom Philosophy noninterventionist — and certainly NOT a continuation of the ‘Greater Israel Project‘ — policy… demurred. Indeed, I sent a note to Messrs. Marburger and Lonier expressing my hope that someone would step up and make a strong statement against these lunatic-fringe War Partiers who never seem to get the message.

Thankfully, both Dennis and David had presumably already launched solid responses. Dennis’s responses have been ongoing to officials in the Lakes Area Tea Party (Oakland County, Michigan) and on the Group’s Facebook incarnation. So I’ll just condense the main ones and let the reader follow up on other channels. I’ll follow with Dave Lonier’s excellent rebuttal email to the Trott insider warmongering mailing to his district.

Movie Review: Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012)

A modest, cosmically funny movie that packs a heavy multilevel punch (8/10)
Directed by Lorene Scarfaria

SeekingFirst, let me tell you that if you’re a Keira Knightley fan solely because of her movie star glamour and celebrity, Seeking a Friend is not for you. I doubt we’ll ever see a more frumpy Keira than her role as Penny. At her real age of 27 the actress looks 10-15 years older… and plays a character who is old beyond her years. Plays it extremely well. Yet what Penny lacks in outer beauty she more than makes up for with inner substance. Oddly enough, the Steve Carell lost-soul character, Dodge—Carell in real life was 50 when this movie was made—, awakens Penny’s substance, her youthful romanticism. And she becomes the beauty we’re used to.

They are, indeed, a match made for the end of the world. The movie opens with:

“OK, what we’re getting now is, yes, they’re saying it was in fact a fire that erupted inside the external tank of the ship, exactly ninety-eight seconds after it entered the asteroid field. No one is sure what caused the fire which led to the massive explosion, killing all twelve crew members and scientists aboard the space shuttle Deliverance, taking with them our last and only hope. Once again, if you’re just tuning in, the CSA space shuttle Deliverance has been destroyed. The final mission to save mankind has failed. The seventy-mile-wide asteroid known commonly as Matilda is set to collide with Earth in exactly three weeks time, and we’ll be bringing you up-to-the-minute coverage of our countdown to the ‘End of Days’, along with ALL your classic rock favorites. This is Q107.2.” Continue reading →

Trump catches the attention of CFR, Bilderberg,Trilateralist
By Jon Rappoport (full column here)

Rappoport(To read about Jon’s mega-collection, The Matrix Revealed, click here.)

The powerful Globalist players at the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg Group, and the Trilateral Commission are certainly watching the presidential campaign of Donald Trump.

Trump has already made statements about immigration they find troubling. They may or may not be taking Trump’s presidential run seriously. They may or may not view him as an inconsequential blowhard, a shoot-from-the-hip cowboy who forgets today what he said yesterday—but today the New York Times has made reference to Trump in a way that will make these Globalist heavy hitters pause and blink while drinking their morning coffee (Here in “As Stock Market Plunges, Donald Trump Takes a Worldview” by Alan Rappeport): Continue reading →

Brian’s Column: American Freedom is Ours NOW!

All we have to do en masse is NOT do something unpleasant we were doing…
an urgent message for all would-be bona fide libertarian ‘opinion leaders’

HeadupassAnd by libertarian opinion leader, I mean every American writer or celebrity with some following who has ever had the adjective libertarian applied to his name—from John Stossel and Ron Paul to Alex Jones and Matt Drudge to Gary Johnson and Mary Ruwart and Jesse Ventura to Libertarian Party members, officials, candidates and anyone engaged in the political process in any manner to effect a world of liberty. And let’s not forget all the truthers and their leading icons — regarding 911, chemtrails, GMOs, spy-and-fry utility meters, forced medicine, etc. — those concerned with the high-crime assaults enabled by the veil of universal deception. I have in mind literally several hundred notable or activist individuals. And what do I have them in mind FOR?!

For the fact that virtually none of this vast quantity of ostensibly ‘wants-us-to-be-free’ leader-persons—as articulate and popular a commentator as he or she may have become—has cared so much as to acknowledge what I’m calling the Hendrickson Discovery and that tens of thousands of American individuals have kept all the fruits of their labor out of the hands of the federal Leviathan. Now. Today. Legally and prudentially. The amount of wealth these real Americans have retained/reclaimed is approaching $3 billion. [The amount of improperly extracted (via gross popular ignorance) federal income tax revenue is approximately a thousand times more than that, annually.

Think about those numbers for a minute: The government can commit a lot of heinous crimes with $3 trillion per year. Or put another way: The government can commit virtually no heinous crimes without these $trillions it deceives Americans into forking over.]

Then here’s my message to all my esteemed and august libertarian opinion leaders: PLEASE IMMEDIATELY RETRACT YOUR HEADS FROM YOUR NETHER REGIONS! Continue reading →
