Today I was supposed to have an interview for you but due to a technical problem, that has to be postponed.  As this came up late in the day doing the Thursday show today isn’t really an option either, so you get two just Jack shows this week.

I feel this subject is very important and it is why I created the Granddaddy’s gun club recently.  I think too many in this nation who are pro gun rights are in a false sense of security today, seeing only “liberals”, “progressives” and politicians as enemies of the 2nd Amendment.

The truth is that the largest growing anti gun block in America is people under 30 and there is a reason!  You can blame politicians and policy makers for it but changing them out won’t help, the problem is far more systemic.

Join Me Today to Hear…

  • The objections we hear and how misguided they are
    • Thinking you will fight the government is delusional
    • We only want “common sense gun control”
    • You are more likely to kill yourself or a loved one than stop a crime
    • The second amendment is about the National Guard
  • Why we are in real trouble long term
    • The level of ignorance about guns has hit an all time high
      • The gun show loophole myth
      • The second amendment is about muskets
      • Assault rifles are “more powerful”
    • Many pro gun people are not active gun owners/users
    • Children are being taught to fear guns
    • Children are not being taken out to shoot
    • Finding a place to shoot is getting harder every day
    • People with guns are being vilified just for having them
  • What we need to do and start doing right now
    • Make no apologies and no concessions, 20,000 plus “infringements” are enough
    • Take non shooters to the range, to the back 40 what ever
    • Use training tools like airsoft, etc. to soften entry
    • Teach your children to tell you anything they hear in school about guns
    • Avoid “arguments of statistics”
    • Explain what “responsible gun ownership means”
    • Correct logical fallacies and outright lies
    • Teach, train and preach responsible gun ownership
    • Join the Grandaddy’s Gun Club

Episode-1531- From Revolution to Insurrection

chains

Yes it may be time for a new theme song, “The Insurrection is You”? Not sure on that in practice but perhaps in principle it is a better way of thinking.

One thing I said in my talk at PermaCulture voices near the end was that, “The time for revolution has past, they had a chance to surrender….A revolution is a transfer in power from one group of leaders to another group of leaders, an insurrection is a transfer of power from those in power into the hands of the insurrectionists themselves, and that is you, take it back, take it all back.”

I am now trying to determine a multi phased attack strategy to do just that, take it all back and a strategy that works with 7th generational thinking.

I look at it this way, no one is going to fix it, no one is going to save us and those in power have no incentive to change things. In other words, “an honest man recognizes a rigged game and seeks his entertainment elsewhere”.

Check out the Dangerous History Podcast

Prof CJ has multiple history degrees and has taught college history for eight years. He is also the host of a podcast called Prof CJ’s Dangerous History Podcast, which covers a wide variety of historical and related topics from a skeptical, libertarian, anti-establishment viewpoint.

Prof CJ has been teaching college history since 2006, but he has been a smartass, iconoclast, and a cynical questioner and critic of authority since he was a little whippersnapper.  Naturally, these attitudes have influenced his take on history.

Prof CJ likes his teaching job and does his utmost to incorporate his radical critiques of the established narrative into the classes he teaches, but he still finds formal academia somewhat limiting at times.  He decided to start a podcast as an outlet for his revisionist rants.

Join Us Today to Discuss…

  • CJs approach to history and why is it different from most historains
  • Why he started a podcast and what he hopes people gain from it
  • How can learning history be empowering and liberating for the individual
  • What is the concept of the scholar-warrior and how does it relate to preparedness
  • What lessons can history teach us that have relevance to Modern Survivalism
  • What is true and what is false when it comes to the notion of American exceptionalism
  • Were there ever really ‘good old days’ in the past, or is that a delusion
  • Does history indicate we should be positive or negative in our outlook about the future
  • Thoughts on the current status of higher education in America

Episode-1438- Free Your Mind and the Rest Will Follow

Episode-1438- Free Your Mind and the Rest Will Follow [ 1:11:45 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
Your Body Can't Be Free If Your Mind is Imprisoned

Your Body Can’t Be Free If Your Mind is Imprisoned

Did I really just quote En Vogue?  You bet because in the words of Donald Shimoda when quoting Snoopy the dog in Richard Bach’s book Illusions, “I shall quote the truth wherever I find it”.

Here is another truth my love of liberty is so strong that my life is literally dedicated to it.  At one time I saw the solution to lie in politics.  If we could only get the right people into power.  Then one day I began to realize the sad truth is two fold.

First, generally the right people to have in power, do not wish for power.  They have no desire to control others, that is both what makes them the right people as well as those who don’t want the job.

Second that the few who are right for the job that are willing to do it, can’t compete with the system of predators, thieves, liars and tyrants when they become part of it.  To really understand this just in the US House alone, just visit Defining the Machine, and after that you will have zero doubt that the game is rigged.

So once you realize the political fix is in, further that the banking and industrial giants control that anyway.  You then come to understand that all of main stream media is controlled by only 6 companies.  That everything you are told, shown, expected to believe or argument you are given only two sides of is programmed by a handful of individuals.

This leads many in the “conspiracy community” to postulate that the goal is total physical slavery.  Yet when you focus on freedom you see the horrible truth for what it is, there is no need to physically enslave a man, if you already control his mind.

Join Me Today To Discuss…

  • Why do Americans think they are free in the first place
  • The real master remote control box and how it works
  • Why you must free your mind of both everything and nothing
  • Why liberty must exist for those you disagree with, if you are to have it too
  • Why people respond to liberty with anger and violence
  • How a lack of vision, hope and real heroes has weakened society

Episode-1314- How Most Americans are Little more than Proud Slaves

Are You Proud of Your Chains Slave?

Are You Proud of Your Chains Slave?

I try to focus on the solutions here 99% of the time, vs. the problems.  The issue though is many listeners are often frustrated by my comments like “politics no longer matter especially at the federal level.

They feel if everyone felt that way there would be no checks left on the system.  To a degree they have a point, I will acknowledge this today and tell you why it still doesn’t matter.

Still others are frustrated by those they love and care about who are not willing to “wake up” and simply become just a little bit self reliant.  They simply have done so themselves, they know how great it feels and they can’t understand why others will not take at least that first step.  It becomes very hard to understand why so many continue to exist as dumbed down cogs in the system and can’t even fix say their own flat tire.

The truth?  We are a nation of slaves!  We are slaves to…

  • Exceptionalism Ideology
  • Debt
  • Taxes
  • Class Structures
  • Racial Bias
  • And Above All Fear

We are a nation of slaves, slaves that have built our own prison walls, our own cells and slaves that even manage our own “work release” programs.  We are slaves who not only have forged and crafted our own chains, we actually are proud of them and polish their shackles to a high shine.

This sounds insane but there are two reasons I felt it was time to do this show.

  1. You will never achieve your freedom unless you first acknowledge your slavery
  2. You will never understand why many cling to ignorance until you understand that they currently fear freedom

What I am saying really is that even though we are delving into the “problem” today we are actually still focused on the solution.  Hold on and strap in this won’t be a feel good episode but in the end it still might make you feel good, I mean freedom feels good.

Jeffrey Tucker is CEO of Liberty.me and publisher of Laissez Faire Books. Tucker is also a Distinguished Fellow of the Foundation for Economic Education, an adjunct scholar with the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and an Acton University faculty member.  He is past editorial vice president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute and past editor for the institute’s website, Mises.org.

Jeffery joins me today to discuss, bitcoin, digital cities, the bright future of liberty, freedom as a do it yourself project.  Few people I have met are as articulate as Mr. Tucker when it comes to explaining why government should never be trusted with money, the way I heard him put it during one speech was,

“The government should not be trusted with money,…….ever,……., under any circumstances,………at all,………ever,……..as in never.”

I laughed at that but I also agree more and more every day with the premise.  It is funny that two people as different as Jeffery and I have actually walked such a similar ideological path, from conservative, to libertarian to the edge of anarchist simply do to observation of government malice.

We have also both walked a path from financial reformist, to gold standard supporter to abolishing all government currency in favor of private market exchange and embracing the hope represented by digital currencies.

Join us today for a enjoyable discussion on freedom, economics and changing society though individual and voluntary group action.

WARNING – If you support big government solutions of any kind, your head may explode during this episode!

Jenna Woginrich - Of The One Woman Farm

Jenna Woginrich – Of The One Woman Farm

Jenna Woginrich is an author, homesteader, archer, and falconer-in-training. Two summers ago she left her corporate office gig to focus on the farm full-time and now runs a 6.5 acre homestead by herself south of the Adirondacks in Washington County, NY.

There she grows most of her own food; raises her own meat, dairy, veggies and eggs with the aid of animal power. Horses pull firewood from the forest, a sheepdog manages the livestock, hawks are trained to take small game, and carts and saddles are used as much as her dented pickup truck.

She’s passionate about self-reliance, martial arts, hunting, tracking, horses, and traditional and country skills. She’s also the business owner of Cold Antler Farm, an educational homestead where people travel from all over the world to take classes in everything from beginner fiddle to herbalism.

Her new book, One Woman Farm, has been described as follows by Joel Salatin, “Read this book to learn why farmsteads need to be loved.  Jenna’s One-Woman Farm is a jewel: small and lustrous.”

Brink of Freedom

Posted on August 12, 2013 by Modern Survival| 18 Comments

Brink of Freedom is now up and running, and TSP listeners are the first in line to witness its launch. BOF is a new social website for preppers, and is where my intern, Josiah Wallingford, will be posting all of his experiences, videos, and pictures during the internship. He already has an extensive assortment of content lined up and will begin posting tonight.

The main focal point of Brink of Freedom is the ability to create specialized groups for people with similar interests, and also provide the ability to establish connections with other preppers. Furthermore, you will get an in depth look at the cool content that Josiah is collecting while he is here. TSP has the opportunity to get into Brink of Freedom first and mold it into a great resource for future preppers. No promoting will be done for the website for the first two months of it’s unveiling. This means we have first access. I am personally overseeing the development of this site with Josiah in order to ensure it is right for our community.

The site is still in its earliest stages, so improvements may need to be made. If you are having issues with the site or have recommendations for the site, use it’s “Contact Us” form so that both Josiah and myself know about it. Josiah is looking for graphical design for the site, so if you are interested in helping out let us know.

Please, get over to BrinkofFreedom.net and start creating groups and connecting with people.

Shawn Hipskind and Family

Shawn Hipskind and Family

I am joined today but the first ever political candidate on TSP.  Shawn Hipskind my long time friend is running for Governor of the State of Arkansas as a Libertarian.  Shawn’s real goal isn’t so much winning but to bring awareness to problems in our political system, how votes are bought and paid for and the concept of zero dollar campaigns.

I want to warn some of our audience that today you are likely to hear many things you disagree with.  Specifically on many libertarian issues like the use of force, the war on drugs and gay marriage.  Note that no one is trying to convince you of anything, frankly no one is trying to tell anyone here how to live their lives.  What we are simply asking is that you at least consider some of these concepts in a new light.

Not interfering with another individuals natural rights does not mean your endorsement of their decision as to how to exercise said rights.  If you want to learn more about official positions of the Libertarian Party you can do so at LP.org.
