An Unspoken Fear of the Coronavirus
by Peter R. Quiñones | Mar 3, 2020
You’d think people would be used to it by now. Every couple of years the world is thrust into hysteria by the latest virus that is threatening to wipe out a significant portion of the population. Whether it’s SARS, Dengue, Ebola, Swine Flu or the Coronavirus, fear...
‘I Was Just Following Orders’
by Peter R. Quiñones | Feb 18, 2020
“I was just following orders” is the mantra of everyone who has found themselves on the wrong side of history - who is called into account for their actions as an order taker. How is it possible that everyone from corrupt mayors, to murderous tyrants have been able to...
The Louisville Metro Police Department Child Sex Scandal
by Peter R. Quiñones | Feb 7, 2020
Civil libertarians and police corruption watchdogs have much to celebrate these days. The fact that most people are walking around with high definition video cameras in their pockets has done much to shine a light on what these groups have been talking about for...
‘The Person Advocating Violence Is The Fed!’
by Peter R. Quiñones | Jan 27, 2020
A lot of people have heard my “liberty story.” It’s the common, “I saw Ron Paul confront Rudy Giuliani on the debate stage in 2007” narrative. Then the reading started; pretty much every “libertarian” book I could get my hand on. For two years all I did was read....

Virginia Second Amendment Advocates Beware!
by Peter R. Quiñones | Jan 20, 2020

The 21st Century of War
by Peter R. Quiñones | Dec 26, 2019
As the second decade of the 21st Century comes to a close, and the corporate press is doing everything in its vast power to keep people’s attention on impeachment, it is easy to overlook that the last 20 years should only be defined by one subject; war. Since shortly...
Free Speech is Non-Negotiable
by Peter R. Quiñones | Dec 17, 2019
Anyone trying to shut down free speech knows that their ideology is a lie so they must prevent you from exposing that fact. I have no problem listening to someone else’s opinion, especially if I know it’s dead wrong. Knowing that my ideology is moral and non-coercive...
Eliminating the Horror of Modern Policing
by Peter R. Quiñones | Dec 11, 2019
If people properly understood the role of police in the American system, they would probably trust anyone standing next to them in the grocery store to have their best interests at heart more than a “law enforcement” officer. There’s an important reason for this....
The Power of the Meme – My Journey
by Peter R. Quiñones | Nov 29, 2019
I’m fairly certain the first memes I experienced were on the once famous website Ebaum’s World. I probably didn’t know what to make of them at the time but they were usually funny and I would check back to the site often. After a while I started to see that even...
The ‘Landlord’ is MY Employee
by Peter R. Quiñones | Nov 18, 2019

Normally, a random post on Twitter doesn’t deserve an answer in the form of an article, but in an era where the libertarian ideology (that of non-aggression and strict property rights), which is much closer to the ideas of liberty expounded by the founders of America...
Fear is the Liberty Killer
by Peter R. Quiñones | Nov 4, 2019
An overused term that is invoked to describe the United States, the largest government in the history of mankind, is “free country.” Does anyone actually believe that, or is it something to use as a bludgeon against those who seek to change particulars about said...
Let’s Stop with this ‘Culture of Liberty’ Nonsense
by Peter R. Quiñones | Oct 28, 2019
Imagine if someone you didn’t know, who lived 3,000 miles away, had a say in who you could or couldn’t marry. Would you think that was crazy? What if that person could dictate what you were allowed to put into your body? Since that is a reality why isn’t it just as...
What if the Police Don’t Identify Themselves?
by Peter R. Quiñones | Oct 21, 2019
Anyone who pays attention to cases involving police shootings, especially those that result in a fatality, has noticed that the narrative we first hear coming from the press soon changes. It is no different in the case of Atatiana Jefferson, who was gunned down...
