Today’s show notes are very brief but suffice to say we discuss a variety of lessons the prepper community should have learned about the government, themselves, the general public and even the tin foil hat crowd over the past few weeks. I also let you know about a man made drought in Southern California, which has nothing to do with the weather, it is all about a minnow.  This minnow will case 60,000 people to loose jobs and all but guarantee food shortages in the coming years.

Today you will get to hear me almost rear ended on the highway right at about 29:44 into the show.  Rest assured I was not harmed nor was my vehicle damaged!  I edited out a bit particularly my use of the F word. On the subject the first 10 minutes are mostly a follow up from yesterday’s discussion on libertarian principles and how you can explain the common objection about “the things government has done right”.  I will also let you know about the interview I did with Lew Rockwell and a new working relationship between LewRockwell.com and TSP. I … Continue reading →

Episode-195- Will Survivalism Turn You Into A Libertarian?

In my last show I gave a warning, “if you keep practicing survivalism you are going to sooner or later turn into a libertarian”.  I have gotten more then a few questions about what that means.  Is TSP a secret plot to brain wash people into a libertarian mindset sort of like those alien Hulu commercials?  No not at all but there is a reality that once you are self sufficient, well prepared and have the mentality of a survivor the way you view the world will start to change.

I have been talking to quite a few media outlets lately and they always want to discuss what I consider the “sexy” aspects of survivalism.  Now I don’t consider them sexy myself but what I mean is the parts of survivalism that spin into an interesting news story, you know a mountain of stored food, an underground bunker or a small arsenal of weapons. Each of those things is vastly misunderstood by the media to begin with but the one thing they really have a hard time making is the link between debt elimination and basic modern survival tenants.
