The Voluntaryist Handbook: Self-Ownership and Its Implications

voluntaryist handbook

https://youtu.be/xGrh6D3o8Kw One need look no further than to the examples of North and South Korea or East and West Germany to see that the freer people are, the wealthier they can become through mutually beneficial voluntary exchange. These two controlled experiments, where mostly free markets competed against mostly state-controlled economies, have yielded an undeniable result: the more free, the more prosperous. - The Voluntaryist Handbook: Essays, Excerpts, and Quotes, p. 301 BitChute Minds Archive Flote...

The Voluntaryist Handbook: A Collection of Essays, Excerpts, and Quotes

the voluntaryist handbook

https://youtu.be/YD6XGXaKi0Y Many real criticisms apply to the free market: greed, envy, dog-eat-dog mentalities, short-sightedness, etc. The problem with all of those criticisms is that they apply many times over to the state, since, by definition, the state does not face competition and one cannot opt out of funding it. While voluntarily funded competing organizations may have shortcomings, they are preferable to the coercively funded monopolies of the state. - The Voluntaryist Handbook: A Collection of Essays, Excerpts, and Quotes (p.1) Buy the Paperback Free pdf on Odysee BitChute...

The Biggest Lie of American Foreign Policy

screen shot 2022 04 20 at 11.08.39 pm

https://youtu.be/gPItOqn8apA Then the fighters realized that the gang in the White House could not see things clearly, and that their leader (that idiot they obey) was claiming that we envied their lifestyle — when the truth, which this Pharaoh would like to hide — is that we are attacking them because of their injustice toward the Muslim world, and especially Palestine and Iraq, as well as their occupation of the land of the two sanctuaries. When the fighters saw this, they decided to come out of the shadows and take the fight into their territory, into their homes.  – Al Qaeda in Its...

43 Mises Quotes on War and Peace. Reed Coverdale, Patrick McFarlane, & Keith Knight.

43 mises quotes on war and peace. reed coverdale, patrick mcfarlane, & keith knight.

https://youtu.be/aQiEMCBw1KA Modern war is not a war of royal armies. It is a war of the peoples, a total war. It is a war of states which do not leave to their subjects any private sphere; they consider the whole population a part of the armed forces. Whoever does not fight must work for the support and equipment of the army. Army and people are one and the same. The citizens passionately participate in the war. For it is their state, their God, who fights. Ludwig von Mises, Ph.D., Omnipotent Government, p. 104 Must watch episodes from today's guests: Reed Coverdale of the Naturalist...

Salafis Throwing Bombs: How American and British Planners Partnered With Al-Qaeda Affiliated Groups At the Start of the Syrian Civil War

2011 syria protests.svg

Introduction In the mainstream view, al-Qaeda did not play a role in the Syria conflict until Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi dispatched his deputy, Abu Muhammad al-Jolani, to Syria in August 2011 to establish a wing of the group there, called Jabhat al-Nusra, or the Nusra Front. Additionally, al-Qaeda allegedly did not carry out any military operations until December 2011 and did not announce its establishment until January 2012. However, there is evidence that al-Qaeda affiliated militants were involved in the Syrian conflict much earlier. Saudi intelligence...

The Most Dangerous Superstition by Larken Rose – Quotes and Full Audiobook Playlist

Find Larken Rose here: https://www.therosechannel.com/rhome Quotes- The belief in “authority,” which includes all belief in “government,” is irrational and self-contradictory; it is contrary to civilization and morality, and constitutes the most dangerous, destructive superstition that has ever existed. Rather than being a force for order and justice, the belief in “authority” is the arch-enemy of humanity.   Pg. 3 If human...

Sophie Scholl and the White Rose Movement

Since today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, it is fitting to reflect on the legacy of Sophie Scholl, leader of the White Rose movement. The White Rose movement was a group of German students who distributed pamphlets calling for active, albeit peaceful, resistance to the Nazi regime. The White Rose movement came to an end in 1943 when its leaders were arrested, tried, and beheaded. Even though they knew they faced certain death, Sophie Scholl and her fellow White Rose members refused to renounce their beliefs. Read more about the White Rose movement here. Here a few of my favorite quotes...

The Dews From Heaven

Pliny said, of the dew, that it is, "...the sweat of Heaven, the spittle of the stars." Mormon scripture, evoking Moses, recites, "Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven." This morning, walking between classes on a college campus, I noticed a field of grass catch the morning sun in the following way: The young people around me charged past the...
