Where is Automation and AI taking humanity? Will we have everything we need at our finger tips or will humans loose their ability to create things of value?
I have been waiting for a good debunking of this film. I have yet to find a good one. This episodes explains the attempts at debunking the film and why they aren't that great of a debunking at all.
This episode discusses some of the major events of 2022 and what we can expect moving into 2023. Will Russia and the USA end up in direct war? What can we learn from the Twitter Files? Will there be a Housing Market Crash?
What are rights? Is lying a right or a violation? I had a few interactions with Jeff VAlien that help bring the matter into perspective.
Some people seem to be only focused on rising prices while forgetting teh second half of what inflation is: a loss in purchasing power of money.
Whats going on in Ottawa Canada with the Truckers? Who will give in first? Truckers or the government?
Here comes Omicron! Here comes Omicron! Right down Tyranny Lane! There's a lot going on in Covid world earlier in Winter 2021.
My story of getting Covid, using Ivermectin and all the details around my experience/circumstances.
This madness started almost 2 years ago. Here's a look at what we've been through and where we are going.
From Covid's effects on the economy to federal debt/inflation and what we can see happening right in front of us this episode discusses an overall outlook on the economy.
It's been awhile! I've moved, started a micro homestead and am building my own radio communications "network".
The Capitol was stormed and now Biden is President. What to make of these events and how will this move forward?
FaceBook has cut off my ability to use my personal account in any way, which, includes posting on the AAC page. I have had a page running on MEWE for months now. Join me there as CensorBook goes the way of MySpace.
Freedom Cells are exactly what we need at a time like this. A tight knit group that is working to survive and defend liberty can make the difference in our lives. It doesn't take ideological agreement to work together in defense of liberty.
Advocates of Freed Markets Should Oppose Capitalism was written by Gary Chartier and put in the book Markets Not Capitalism. I think overall point he makes is extremely relevant to bridging the left/right divide of anarchists instead of driving a wedge between them as Michael Storm of Toward Anarchy is doing.
Governors are tightening their lockdown grips. Supplies are starting to disappear from shelves again. Here comes the second wave of Covid 19.
A crucial point to understanding agorism is to realize that Agorism the strategy is different from Agorism the philosophy. Michael Storm of Toward Anarchy is at it again. He is a perfect example of of the need to overcome these challenges to communication through understanding and not argumentation.
Facebook's censorship department has been slowly sniffing around the AAC page searching for reasons and ways to shut it down. This episode is a quick overview of how that played out. Now that they are officially threatening to unpublish the page I would like to remind you that you can find the page on MEWE.
What happened with the mail-in-ballots in the 2020 election? Is voter fraud something people should be concerned with?
This writing describes the differences in the main two camps that formed the beginning of the socialist movement. One based in Authority one in Liberty. Anarchists of all flavors should take this writing into consideration.
I've been working my way through the book Markets Not Capitalism. I think it is crucial to bridging the divides between anarchists. This intro will begin to shine light on that.
I have known Michael Storm of Toward Anarchy through Social Media for over 8 years, I’ve never had a problem with him and have had discussions of a political nature with him in the past. Unfortunately he has drawn conclusions about Agorism without ever even reading any books written by Samuel Konkin to know if what he understands of Agorism is from the source or just other people who haven’t properly understood the original ideas.
Was the militia plan to attempt kidnapping or arrest? Is the FBI to be trusted considering their history with undercover agents? Of course there's all the drama of wether these militia guys were on the political left or right as an icing for this cake.
The recent shooting in Denver has brought up the topic of self defense for most people. For me it brings up the topic of Proportional Self Defense.
2020 has been a year full of political stressors. Here comes the last rollercoaster ride... The 2020 Election!
I recently spent some time on the AT with some friends. I came across some interesting thought processes and through experience I am tweaking my strategies when it comes to supporting anarchy/free societies with friends.
Welcome to all those who are new to the podcast! The podcast is now available through many new hosting sites. Here comes some new episodes and a new series!
Dr Robin DiAngelo did a lecture in 2018 about "White Fragility". The OP it was posted under stated "All Whites are Racist". Naturally this episode is about the individual aspect of racism being removed from the conversation about Racism.
The current conversation about racism, what is going on with CHAZ(Capital Hill Autonomous Zone) and the potential for coming civil unrest.
What is the solution to police brutality and the police state? What are we to make of a world where peaceful protest and riots have mixed together? Is the key peace and love? What about defensive action deployed against state violence?
Masks, to wear or not to wear? The CDC fudged the numbers! Who is fact checking fact checkers? The legal precedent for mandatory vaccines and a NJ update.
Is there bunk in the debunking of Plandemic? NYC has a spike in COVID cases of people who stayed home. Have you heard of the Swine Flu Fraud of 1976?
Is there a middle ground in the Left/Right paradigm of a COVID-19 world? Are protesters forcing people back to work? This and much more in COVID Files 005.
There is a political and scientific power struggle brewing in America. The NJ update covers food shortages and "contact tracing". Then the episode wraps up with a discussion about long term prepping.
The Covid-19 hysteria is making it easy for government officials to violate people's rights. Brace yourselves, the food industry looks to be in peril. Have you heard of Dr. Shiva? Oh and of course what is the update from NJ?
What is the anarchist position on social distancing? How are things changing and having our new reality across the country? From state borders bing guarded with check points to cell phones tracking social distancing there is plenty to talk about. You thought COVID-19 was enough? Have you seen the condition of the economy? So what's next?
From the COVID lockdown status in NJ to anarchist/ voluntarist/ libertarian philosophy on the situation to tips on prepping for what's to come. This episode describes the current situation, touches on concepts like social responsibility and responsibility in general and talks about approaches to being ready for things to come in a COVID-19 world.
This episode explores whether or not breaking promises and rules are or can be violations of right.
Both the DNC and RNC change rules to make sure they get whatever candidate they want when the convention rolls around. Vote harder! This system is rigged!
Vaccines should not be mandated by government because each individual has the right to deicide what goes in their body. Should scientists and the medical research industry be be trusted in general?
How did you develop a liberty/anarcho mindset? In this episode I share a few life experiences that were part of my path. Please share yours!
It seems many Americans can only process when their country is defending itself and not when it is acting offensively against others. This episode explores offensive vs defensive military action and American's perspectives of both.
The Epstein case has shown us one more thing besides there's a Pedo ring operating on an international scale for the Global Elite. It has shown us that government can't be responsible for the simplest of things. Where's the video?!!!
Is WW3 around the corner? This episode gets into build-up of the next great war between Iran and the USA.
There are Thousands of troops in Iraq. Trump has chosen to send more and the justification appears to be protecting the US Embassy in Iraq. One building is apparently reason for Thousands more troops in Iraq according to a President who promised to end endless wars while campaigning.
What is going on in NY with Bail Reforms and how crimes being reformed would be dealt with in a stateless natural law society.
Media Bias and Joe Biden's creep status come together when someone attempts to discredit a source based on their political leanings.
What if "Law" was Decentralized so much that the individual was completely free to choose what authority("Judge/lawyer/arbiter") they will associate/contract with?
The podcast has been running for a few years now and has finally broken into triple digits on the episode counter! Join me for a brief look back on the highlights of the AAC Podcast.
The Trump Impeachment social drama exploded when the house voted to impeach him. What game are the politicians playing this time? It seems quite a few people can't accurately explain the impeachment process causing a lot of poorly mad assumptions.
The REAL ID was supposed to tighten requirements for State driver's licenses and IDs. It seems some states have taken the opportunity to offer non-compliant IDs. I say skip the extra money and hassle and boycott the Real IDs for the non-compliant if you can.
Certain states are taking aim at the Gig Economy(independent contractor, freelancers, sub-contractors etc) by attempting to force them onto company payrolls in various ways. The reported intent is to get more workers employer benefits, but the creating a spike in payroll taxes appears beneficial to states with financial problems. Oh yea, what's going on with that NJ bill to make vaccines mandatory for school kids?
The Police have turned into a sub branch of the Military and the politicians want to ban and take away an increasing amount of guns. The two sides look set to square off somewhere in the near future.
This issue often gets dragged down into debates about the negative side effects and benefits of vaccines. The real issue is rights and self ownership. Both are the foundations of anarchy and freedom.
How can there be rules if there is no one to make the rules? This is one of the main objections when explaining the potential for a free society.
There is plenty to be learned from what is happening in Hong Kong about protesting and standing up to government. Is it possible there is positive world wide motion toward general distrust of government or even... anarchy?
I made the prediction that Trump wouldn't drain the swamp three years ago. What other champaign promises did he not fulfill and what kind of politician does he seem like?
How does the fact that Democrats and Republicans hate each other effect the political atmosphere? From political conversation to surveys mainstream politics seems filled with hate.
We all know FaceBook censors, deletes page and runs algorithms that can be detrimental to pages reach. This episode explains what has been going on with the AAC FaceBook page's comments being censored and reach throttled down.
Dave Champion really doesn't like being inconvenienced at stores by receipt checkers at the exit door. Unfortunately his criticisms of the process don't include a natural law perspective. The original liberty he desires.
A conversation about not hating over political differences turns into a conversation about strategy for building a stateless society.
Now that it's been a few years, what has happened with the tax dollars collected in Colorado from legalized Marijuana?
Info from Denver Post and Colorado Sun.
A lot of factors play into the housing crisis in Cali. I don't see why those on the left and right can't agree on the issues causing it.
Have you heard people say "Don't judge me!... or others"? In this episode I question wether that is a good idea or not.
This episode discusses how the left may be able to better communicate with the right about minimum wage. The right also may be able to develop their perspective based other issues dear to their heart.
It's been an amusing topic floating around recently, but can we take anything real from it?
Recently cryptos took a dive and governments around the world made moves on crypto. What is going on in crypto world?!!
From non-essential employees to the first time we have a shutdown not divided on party lines. Here's the AAC breakdown of politicians fighting over how to spend money stolen from you in an institution that is in financial crisis anyway. Re-aranging deck chains on the Titanic? Yea that sounds right!
My buddy Steve joins me for a conversation about crypto-currency. What is the potential of crypto-currency? Just some new tech or revolutionary?Don't forget about Nebulous Consulting for all your crypto learning needs.
Reach out to Steve at Steve-Nebulous@protonmail.com
This episode is focused on the phrasing and strategy of privatizing government. Is it the strategy anarchists should be focusing on?
Neil and Martin have both read God and State by Michael Bakunin and decided to spend this episode reviewing the book. We cover everything from his life story to his writing style to his perspectives on ....everything! Join us for a great time!
Charlottesville protests...what's the point? North Korea is the next target for drumming up statist feel of warmth and fuzz. NJ was just declared a national emergency due to opioid overdoses. Martin joins me to discuss there current events from an anarchist perspective.
Martin and I go down all the rabbit holes of trying to change the state. Is it worth it as an anarchist? When, why or how should an anarchist get involved? Are there better steps to take rather then getting involved with the state?
The real issue at the core of the Open vs. Closed Border debate is how to deal with government property after collapse or abolishment.
Experiencing freedom within a government that employs a police state can be a bit tricky and complicated. Here's my take on maximizing our experiences of freedom.
Is there a reason Anarchists should avoid third party protection? Strategy? The same strategies that overcome anarchist differences will help maintain a free society.
Both Democracy and the Market boil down to direct action. This could be key to overcoming the left and right issues in anarchy.
Some people in the anarchists, libertarian and voluntarist circles talk about building communities to start free societies. This episode's focus is about whether or not that is a good strategy for right here and now.
I spent my honeymoon in Jamaica and did my best to observe the condition of life and freedom as well as the political landscape. Here are some thoughts about what I observed!
Martin joined me on this episode to discuss how anarchists of the left and right can come together. Martin has more of a background in left anarchism and I right. So together we are able to really get to the bottom of some of the division between anarchists.
From Samuel Konkin3 to Tom Woods to John Vibes the strategy is becoming clear. Freedom Cells! Through Relational Anarchy we can better cooperate and build cells that allow for the growth of a counter economy and law/justice.
Did Trump just flip-flop or did the "Deep State" get him right where they want him? Either way many of his supporters of the libertarian or Alt-Right flavor seem to be displeased with how things are going down in Syria.

How far does Compassionate Anarchy go? Is there room for defense against other perspectives using coercion or violence?
Sterlin Luxan joins me to discuss the tools of Compassionate Anarchy. We talked about how to use logic compassionately and how the two main schools of economic thought might work together! Sterlin also provided some interesting info on the side effects of arguing about what is right.
Counter economics is the best strategy for anarchists to make the state obsolete. Compassionate anarchy is how we swell our ranks so that we can more effectively carry out that mission and maintain a free society after the state.
How can we apply Lysander Spooner's two writings, A Plan for the Abolition of Slavery and To the Non-Slaveholders of the South, to the fight against statist slavery of today?
Does it seem like Reason and Logic just don't quite cut it when you're trying to convince a statist to become an anarchist? Sterlin Luxan runs Psychologic Anarchist where he discusses using compassionate and relational anarchism as a better approach to reaching others.
What is Agorism and what qualifies a person or action as Agorist? I get into the answer to those questions and a great quote on the matter in this episode!
"The recognition of the libertarian incompatibility of statist means to anti-statist ends was the first agorist insight. following that the new agorist looked for the proper means to achieve a free society or at least a fully libertarian society. They sought market means only." Samuel Konkin 3
What is the biggest piece of news since Trump's inauguration? Could it be that the puppet strings of the deep state have been partially revealed?
This is for Agorists and their critics alike! What is the focus of Agorism? Does Agorism claim an individual should not vote or should use welfare?
This seems like a cut and dry issue, right? I'm not too sure about that. I tie in some thoughts about what happens with public property after government from a previous episode and get down to the heart of the matter.
My focus on this debate isn't just to highlight good or bad arguments for or against the state, but to attempt to point out errors in communication that seem to leave the message hanging in the balance.
James V Baker joined me on this episode to discuss what happened in Dearborn Michigan recently when he walked into the Police Station practicing his legal open carry rights. We also get into a discussion of what exactly an Independent Police Auditor is and how he goes about being one himself.
- David Horowitz joins me to discuss how he successfully challenged the state's authority and jurisdiction. He is also taking a case to court against the state! Prepare yourself to be blown away by some of the info and stories David has to share about his research and work against the state!
Trump Signed 14 EOs in his first week including a ban on entrance to the USA for certain country's citizens. He wants to tax Mexican imports to fund the wall and the liberals of Cali want to secede!
People are loosing their minds and Trump is wasting no time using his new found power and setting his agenda in motion. Here is my take on what's been going on!
Does a person who commits a violation of right loose their rights? My response goes down a road full of thoughts about different scenarios and types of responses to violence.
An Agorist Primer written by Samuel Edward Konkin the third is a great book to get some direction for taking counter economic action. In this episode I give a basic summary and supply some quotes to discuss some of the topics brought up in the book.
What is going on here?! is this really a topic of converastion? Apparently, Yes and I address it here in this episode of AAC.
Is there a line in the sand as far as what actions can be used to defend based on the violence committed? If there is something like a line in the sand I describe it here. A line in the sand may be strong phrasing. Call it what you will. Let's get into the conversation!
I'm sure you've seen/heard some of the debates about borders during the past election year. Here is my take on what will happen with borders after the state is abolished or obsolete.
