There is a saying amongst liberty minded people: “There is no law so small that the police won’t kill you for.” The meme above pictures the “arrest” of Eric Garner. He was standing in front of a Staten Island convenience store when NYPD officers walked up and accused him of selling “loose” (individual) cigarettes from packs that DID NOT HAVE A TAX STAMP. Garner said he wasn’t selling “loosies” and told the police he was tired of being harassed. One officer responded by attempting to put Garner’s hand behind his back and cuff him to which Garner responded by pulling away. The officer then...

The NYPD Throws a Tantrum… Again
“Law enforcement are the standing army the Founders warned us of.” These are the words of attorney John Whitehead, founder of the Rutherford Institute.

A question that may be asked is whether the term public defender describes an attorney assigned to defend...
Rand Tries Diplomacy with Iran
On FPF #377, I discuss Senator Rand Paul's attempt to engage in talks with Iran. Rand played a round of gulf with Trump and got the go-ahead to talk with the Iranian foreign minister. While Trump still seems committed to his maximum pressure campaign, the realistic Paul and Zarif may be able to begin improving the US/Iranian relationship. I update the Eric Garner murder. The police-involved will not be held responsible. I use this story to look at who should be held responsible for enforcing state policy.
Episode 177: Why I am a ‘Broken Record’ About Tyranny
23 Minutes Suitable for All Audiences I've had two former police officers on the show talking about the immorality of their former profession. I've had an attorney, I've had a college professor echo the same sentiments using common examples. I've done episodes detailing multiple incidents that are so beyond belief it is easy for people to dismiss them as outliers. In this episode I explain to you the threat using current events, and one from the past I'm sure you are all familiar with even though you may not have all the facts.
