Also... David Friedman explains how you can have law and law enforcement without
Dear Subscribers,
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All! Julie and I have been living in Memphis, my second home town after Fort Worth, Texas, for the last four months and our favorite park is called Shelby Farms which is a superb example of a public-private partnership where a private organization took over the management of one of the largest urban parks in the US. 4500 acres, five times the size of New York City's Central Park. Under private management the park has thrived, raising $52 million in 2016 for a renovation and expansion that now boasts 1 million new trees, 40 miles of trails, 20 bodies of water, and a herd of buffaloes. Their biggest fundraiser of the year is Starry Nights, that decorates a section of the park with millions of Christmas lights for 3-4 weeks each holiday season where they charge $35 a car load to see them. There is one night a year they open the road to bikes and walking so Julie and I organized a group of friends to have fun and support the park! #Voluntaryism!
Everyone had a blast! That is former Fed Ex pilot Vernie Kuglin at the bottom right who beat the IRS in court and proved there is no law that requires you to pay federal income tax. They just trick everyone by stipulating "If You Are Required to File" without specifying who is required (Federal employees, DC resident, but NOT folks born in the 50 states or it would violate the apportionments clause of the Con-stitition which requires all federal taxes to be apprortioned. Since they don't want to go to the Supreme Court on the issue they result to this trickery. Vernie asked them to show her the law for years, they wouldn't and couldn't so she quit paying, they took her to court, the Jury asked the IRS the same thing, the IRS wouldn't and couldn't and the Jury found her NOT guilty. You can read all about it in the New York Times. The organized crime IRS then waged lawfare on her and stole millions from her and a home. She is bloody but unbowed! Her story was featured in the award winning documentary: America - From Freedom to Fascism by Aaron Russo, the Hollywood producer of Trading Places and the Rose, who realized that America had an organized crime "government" and began exposing it! Vernie and I were friends when I was a college student at the University of Memphis and she was the person who introduced me to the work of the original Etienne de la Boetie2!!!

Top Stories of the Week
David Friedman - Law and Law Enforcement without the "Government"
In this insightful episode from Liberty on the Rocks - Sedona - The Voluntaryism Conference, economist and law professor David Friedman challenges the idea that law and law enforcement must be government functions. Drawing on historical examples, including feud law in medieval Iceland and present-day private legal systems in rural California, David discusses how societies can effectively self-regulate and enforce justice without central authorities. He explains key concepts such as feud law, where compensation and deterrence replace punitive government measures, and shares unique models like Somalia’s pre-government legal structures and the potential of modern technologies to create contract enforcement and private arbitration. David also introduces the concept of competitive “rights enforcement agencies” in a future stateless society, where individuals could choose the agency that best aligns with their values and needs. This market-driven legal system, he argues, would foster fairer, more responsive laws and minimize conflict. Exploring practical examples of private law and governance, this episode invites listeners to envision a society where law is shaped not by central authorities but by voluntary, market-based mechanisms!

The Scam of Stew Peters' "Documentary" Occupied
Controlled opposition Stew Peters and Jeff Berwick are “chumping” their audiences again, this time with a documentary on the Zionist occupation of the U.S. “government,” which is a real thing, while completely discrediting the information by wrapping it in poo. It is the same formula that Stew used to discredit factual information about the deaths caused by the Covid “vaccines” in his “documentary” Died Suddenly, whose expose The Died Suddenly Documentary – Understanding the Scam & Fact Check, is one of the top 10 most popular articles on this substack. Here is your guide to understanding what is “true vs. poo” in Occupied and how the inter-generational organized crime system controls the opposition by leading it themselves. Controlled Opposition voice Jeff Berwick features prominently in the documentary and Stew Peters will be attending Anarchapulco which we will cover in this article as well.
What Makes Hospitals So Deadly and How Can We Fix It?
by A Midwestern Doctor
Throughout COVID-19, abysmal hospital care and the suppression of effective off-patent therapies killed approximately a million Americans. Much of this originated from Obamacare pressuring hospitals to aggressively treat patients so they could quickly leave the hospital and reduce health care costs
More frail patients respond poorly to aggressive protocols, resulting in them frequently being pushed into palliative care or hospice. Sadly doctors are no longer trained to gradually bring their patients back to health, and hence view many of those deaths as inevitable
During COVID-19, hospitals enforced rigid protocols centered around remdesivir and ventilators while denying alternative treatments, even in cases where patients were likely to die — in one striking example, patients who received court-ordered ivermectin had a 95% survival rate compared to just 5% for those denied it

The HPV Vaccine Disaster Was A Blueprint For COVID-19
by A Midwestern Doctor
tory at Glance
Two decades ago, Merck introduced Vioxx, a profitable NSAID, despite knowing it could cause numerous heart attacks. After facing overwhelming lawsuits and ultimately withdrawing Vioxx, Merck quickly pushed Gardasil, an HPV vaccine, to market to recover losses.
Gardasil proved to be extremely dangerous, yet both Merck and the FDA ignored the alarming data and continued promoting it, even as it resulted in unprecedented injuries, including autoimmunity, POTS, infertility, and death. Notably, many of these issues mirror those associated with the COVID-19 vaccines.
This article examines the dangers of the HPV vaccine, the reasons behind its risks—including its tendency to cause rather than prevent cervical cancer—and the extensive negligence of the FDA and CDC. These lessons are crucial for understanding the events surrounding COVID-19.
Ranked: The World’s 20 Largest Economies, by GDP (PPP)

Born during the 1970s oil crisis, the G7 emerged as a group of the world economy’s cool kids: large, mature, high-income economies dominating key global sectors.
Then, in the 2000s, BRICS showed up—a collection of countries mostly from the “Global South”— vying for influence with their steadily growing economic might, boosted by globalization. Now they’re positioned as competitors to the G7.
Together, both groups are in the G20, the world’s 20 largest economies, which accounts for 70–85% of the world economy (depending if nominal or PPP-adjusted GDP is used).
This chart shows the value of each G20 member’s GDP in 2024, adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP). Data is sourced from the International Monetary Fund as of October, 2024.
NJ Drone 'Invasion' Just In Time For Congress To Reauthorize Orwellian Law
by Tyler Durden
A series of drone sightings over New Jersey that began in mid-November has left residents and lawmakers spooked about the possibility of foreign adversaries breaching US airspace with drone swarms. While officials have attempted to reassure the public, some lawmakers have stoked fear, leading to widespread panic on social media, with people interpreting anything moving in the night sky as a potential drone (even commercial jets and stars).
Days ago, the FBI and the US Homeland Security Department released a statement indicating, "We have no evidence at this time that the reported drone sightings pose a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus."
"Historically, we have experienced cases of mistaken identity, where reported drones are, in fact, manned aircraft," the federal agencies said.
BIG WIN: Dairy producer STOPS using Bovaer after boycott
by Peter Imanuelsen
I have some very big and very good news for you today.
One of the largest dairy producers in Norway has now STOPPED giving their cows the methane suppressant Bovaer.
This is a major development.
The two largest dairy producers in Norway, Tine and Q-Meieriene began using Bovaer already in 2023 to make their cows fart less and reduce climate emissions.
They began to sell this as ”climate milk” in the stores. However, this was not popular at all with consumers. So guess what happened?
The dairy producer Tine stopped selling their climate milk, and instead just put it together with the normal milk without telling anyone. So people are now getting milk from cows being fed a TOXIC chemical without even knowing.
I have seen reports that supermarkets in Norway have been struggling to sell the milk from cows being fed Bovaer, forcing them to sell at heavily reduced prices. Meanwhile the Bovaer free milk has been flying off the shelves.
Is Google's Willow Processor A Threat To Bitcoin?
by Tyler Durden
Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance
Just a couple of days ago I wrote a piece reminding readers that, despite looking at bitcoin more favorably the last year or so, it still remains an unprecedented and opaque area of markets where risk could rear its head quickly, unexpectedly, and before chaos in broader equity and bond markets.
Collectively worth about $3 trillion now, cryptocurrency is like catnip for risk takers right now, I wrote. Then, I looked at the question of quantum computing:
I’ve also often raised the question of what comes next after SHA-256 hash functions and whether or not Bitcoin will be safe amidst the jump to quantum computing.
The prevailing sentiment has always been that to protect the Bitcoin network, miners and those invested in developing the network will have to stay on the forefront of technological change and encryption capabilities to ensure the network doesn’t lose a beat as the world of microprocessing advances. The ‘bull case’ thoughts about this risk, at least according to Michael Saylor the last time I talked to him, was that if you had the power to crack SHA-256 encryption right now, there would be much bigger potential targets to go after than the Bitcoin network, seeing as how the very same encryption ensures the integrity of almost all major, consequential defense, military, and government computer networks worldwide.
Peter Hotez Sends Ominous Message Ahead of RFK Jr.’s Takeover of HHS
by The Vigilant Fox
Dr. Peter Hotez is back, this time cranking up the fearmongering. Last week, Hotez declared that a wave of potential pandemics is “coming down the pike,” predicting it will all “come crashing down” on Trump “on January 21st.”
On Friday, Hotez, who declined a $2.6 million offer to debate RFK Jr. on vaccine science, told CNN’s John Berman that polio, mumps, rubella, and other diseases could “come back” if vaccination rates fall.
“It doesn’t take much for these diseases to come back. You’ve got to maintain constant vigilance,” Hotez said.
“And so all of these [diseases] could look like they’re on their way up and coming back fairly quickly.”

Stew Peters Tweets Speculation That Israel Nukes Syria - Discrediting Re-tweeters
Etienne Note: Not 48 hours after publishing our expose The Scam of Stew Peters' "Documentary" Occupied, where we speculate he is being used to discredit the truth movement by releasing documentaries and information designed to make his audience look foolish, he tweets a video of the Israeli military blowing up a munitions depot in Syria with a speculation that it was a nuclear attack… completely discrediting his followers who might have re-tweeted his baseless speculation.

Here is an article describing the destruction of the arms depot.

The Assassination Of Brian Thompson That Likely Wasn't
by R!CKYRANTS
The story of the alleged assassination of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson has, to some degree, united the long-divided masses. While reported murders tend to cause heated debates, this one was mostly met within a range of indifference to glee. Critics of America’s abysmal healthcare system look to this event as a window for potential change—hope. But hold your horses, reactionaries.
Here is some of my favorite commentary on this topic…
A lawyer on X doesn’t really understand the motive for the alleged shooter Luigi Mangione, given that he is an affluent young guy who likely wasn’t denied care. She goes on to point out a ridiculous quote from police.
He was very careful with trying to stay low profile, uh, avoid cameras, not all that successfully in some cases.
Really? He wasn’t really trying to keep a low profile beforehand. Remember the grinning Starbucks picture?
Charted: The Countries With the Highest Food Inflation in 2024
By Selin Oğuz
Rising food inflation impacts global food security and disproportionately affects vulnerable populations.
But from South America to Africa and the Middle East, which countries are the hardest hit by increasing food prices in 2024?
This bar chart, sponsored by Brazil Potash, uses the latest data from Trading Economics to show which countries have the highest food inflation.
Leading all countries, Argentina is grappling with a 183% year-over-year increase in food prices. The country also has the highest forecasted food inflation in the world, at 120%, for next year’s second quarter
.Argentina’s high food inflation stems from a mix of its currency devaluation, severe droughts, reliance on exports, economic instability, and political unrest.
Palestine is the runner-up for the highest food inflation with 115%. However, it is forecasted to lower dramatically to 12% halfway through 2025.
Problem: Psychopathic Control Freak PARASITES Rule Us
by Courageous Lion
Recently I read an interesting book. Political Ponerology: A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes by Andrew M. Lobaczewski . I purchased the book back in about 2008 and it sat around here like a lot of the books that I purchased that end up not being read mainly because of the advent of the internet where I spend a lot of time reading and responding to different subjects. Do you have the same problem too? Ponerology is a study of evil. Major subdivisions of the study are the nature of evil, the origin of evil, and evil in relation to administering Government.
Well this one took the cake. Here is some information from the review at Amazon about it that you’ll find rather interesting.
“The original manuscript of this book went into the furnace minutes before a secret police raid in Communist Poland. The second copy, painfully reassembled by scientists working under impossible conditions of violence and repression, was sent via courier to the Vatican. Its receipt was never acknowledged - the manuscript and all valuable data lost. In 1984, the third and final copy was written from memory by the last survivor of the original researchers: Andrew Lobaczewski. Zbigniew Brzezinski blocked its publication. After half a century of suppression, this book is finally available. Political Ponerology is shocking in its clinically spare descriptions of the true nature of evil. It is poignant in its more literary passages revealing the immense suffering experienced by the researchers contaminated or destroyed by the disease they were studying. Political Ponerology is a study of the founders and supporters of oppressive political regimes. Lobaczewski’s approach analyzes the common factors that lead to the propagation of man’s inhumanity to man. Morality and humanism cannot long withstand the predations of this evil. Knowledge of its nature and its insidious effect on both individuals and groups - is the only antidote.’
Details of Amazon's Multi-Billion Dollar Per Year Partnership with CIA/Intelligence Community for Cloud Computing
By Frank Konkel
LAS VEGAS — More than 10 years ago, the Central Intelligence Agency made a groundbreaking $600 million deal with Amazon Web Services to make use of its cloud computing services — a radical departure from IT business as usual for the risk-averse intelligence agency.
To many intelligence officials at the time, the C2S contract — which procured commercial cloud services on behalf of all 18 intelligence agencies — was considered risky, allowing top secret classified data and information onto AWS hardware for tasks like computing, storage and sharing.
Speaking last week at AWS’ re:Invent conference in Las Vegas, the tech chiefs for both the CIA and National Security Agency made clear in rare public remarks that those risks a decade prior have more than paid off.
“A lot of people may not realize, but had it not been for the partnership with AWS that CIA took over 10 years ago — really the risk was on AWS, with [then AWS CEO] Andy Jassy saying that they were going to work with the government and work to bring the best-in-breed technology to the national security space — we would not be here today,” La’Naia Jones, chief information officer at CIA said. “And so it’s just been a phenomenal relationship looking at how fast we’ve been able to progress…We would not be where we are without AWS stepping in and stepping up and willing to take that risk over a decade ago.”
Walmart employees are now wearing body cameras in some stores
by Gabrielle Fonrouge
Walmart has started giving store-level associates body cameras to wear as part of a pilot program at some of its U.S. locations, CNBC has learned.
It’s not clear how many of Walmart’s stores have the recording devices, but some locations now have signs at entry points warning shoppers that it has “body-worn cameras in-use,” according to witnesses and photos posted online.
In at least one store in Denton, Texas — about 40 miles north of Dallas — an associate checking receipts was seen wearing a yellow-and-black body camera earlier this month, according to a shopper who shared a photo with CNBC.
“While we don’t talk about the specifics of our security measures, we are always looking at new and innovative technology used across the retail industry,” a Walmart spokesperson told CNBC. “This is a pilot we are testing in one market, and we will evaluate the results before making any longer-term decisions.”

Is It Time for a Peaceful Revolt? – Australian Gold Miner Ron Manners Make the Case to the Liberty International World Conference
by Ron Manners
Liberty International World Conference 2024 – Texas
15-18 November 2024
So good to be with such a dedicated group of libertarians and, equally important, to renew my association with this great annual event.
I was an active participant at the very first Libertarian International World Conference in Zurich (1982), again at the second one in London (1984).
Those conferences influenced me in adding more ‘intellectual weapons’ to my early arsenal.
Again, I hope to gather more ideas from your combined wisdom here.
Something for me to take back to Australia and in return, I would like to share with you a few thoughts on what has worked for me (over the years) and even, what has not worked for me. Hopefully, this will save you time. Time being the ultimate finite resource.
Yes, we have a huge task ahead of us if we aim to ‘Libertarianise’ the entire world but let us not be overwhelmed.
SHOCK VIDEO: Ukraine Assassinates Russian Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defense Chief, General Kirillov, in Moscow Bomb Blast in Major Escalation
by Paul Serran
The Kiev regime once again resorts to ‘asymmetrical tactics’ (a.k.a. terrorism) and assassinates a top Russian General, in a move that is sure to generate a considerable escalation and also certain retaliation by the Russians against top Ukrainian officials.
On today’s early morning (17), an improvised explosive device (IED) was detonated on Moscow’s Ryazansky Prospekt.
The massive, deadly blast killed high profile Russian chemical defense chief General Igor Kirillov.
“The Russian Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case into the murder of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the Troops of Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense of the Russian Armed Forces, and his assistant.
The IED was planted on an electric scooter positioned at the entrance of a residential building in southeast Moscow.”
BOMBSHELL: Australian drug regulator knows DNA fragments in mRNA vaccines can enter nucleus and integrate into genome, internal emails show
by Rebekah Barnett
Internal emails from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) reveal that the regulator withheld knowledge of DNA contamination risks relating to the modRNA vaccines from the public, presenting a picture of certainty on safety where there is none.
Released under Freedom of Information (FOI), the cache of emails shows that high-level TGA staff knew elements of the modRNA vaccines can enter the cell nucleus and integrate into the genome, despite the agency’s official line that such events are not possible.
However, TGA personnel appear more preoccupied with “allaying fears in the public” than with investigating the potential risks.
TGA staff acknowledge that DNA integration into the genome is possible
The TGA knows that the SV40 enhancer/promoter in the Pfizer vaccine can drag DNA into the nucleus of cells

Lawyers for the companies and for plaintiffs suing over the Neutrogena and Aveeno-branded aerosol sunscreen products disclosed the settlement in a court filing in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida federal court on Friday, without revealing its terms.
They said they expected to submit the settlement for court approval by Nov. 19.
Watch: China Shows Off Mach 7 Hypersonic Drone, Launched From Near-Space Balloon
by Tyler Durden
China has released a military propaganda video boasting its hypersonic weapon capabilities as the military arms race between global superpowers kicks into high gear and the world splits into a dangerous multi-polar state, prompting some global observers to ask the daunting question: "Is World War III already here?"
According to the Shanghai Morning Post, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) released a new video this week showcasing how China continues pushing the boundaries of hypersonic technology.
The full video, released by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), showcases the trials of the MD series and the drone developers behind the aircraft. The team from the Institute of Mechanics (IMECH) at CAS, known as the "Qian Xuesen Young Scientist Task Force," were the same specialists who achieved the first horizontal landing of a hypersonic drone in 2020.
Ukraine unveils new laser weapon
by telegraph
Colonel Vadym Sukharevsky, the commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, said the laser would be capable of downing aircraft at distances of more than 2km.
“It really works; it really exists,” he said at the Europe Defence Industry conference, adding that efforts are underway to scale up its capabilities.
He mentioned Ukraine was only the fifth country to have a high-power laser weapon in its arsenal.
In April, Grant Shapps, former British Defence Minister, said that the UK’s DragonFire laser could be used in Ukraine to counter Russian drones.
He warned the advanced laser technology could have “huge ramifications” on the conflict, adding the military was rushing to get it into service by 2027.
“It didn’t have to be 100% perfect in order for Ukrainians perhaps to get their hands on it,” Mr Shapps said at the time.
15 Healthcare Reforms to Live (Not Kill) For
by Max Borders via The Advocates for Self Government
Over at Underthrow, in my last installment about the ethics of healthcare vigilantism, I wrote:
Remember, though: the righteous, bloodthirsty chorus is the same group that offered thunderous applause at the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This law ignored every single fundamental reform needed to make healthcare more *affordable* and accessible.
The problem with the US healthcare system is not that there are eeeevil CEOs who deny people care. The problem is that it is a Care-tel—a corrupt orgy of providers, insurers, pharma, and politicians. This fantastic corporate-state circle jerk comes at our expense. If you’re gonna reform it, creating DMV-care For All is not the way. (Just ask a Brit or a Canadian.)
Instead, we must create a highly competitive, less corrupted, holistic healthcare ecosystem.
Goldback Launches Florida Series With New Denominations
By Michael Maharrey
Goldback is set to release the Florida Goldback Series with three new denominations. (i.e., 1/2, 2, and 100).
Goldbacks are a neat form of fractional gold — made with a small amount of physical gold embedded within a polymer sheet. The note-shaped gold products could serve as “an inflation-resistant” currency, just as silver coins, rounds, and bars also allow for small everyday transactions.
A 1 Goldback contains 1/1000th troy ounce of pure 24-karat gold. At the current price, the exchange rate for 1 Goldback is around $5.46
There’s a cost involved in manufacturing gold into such a small increment, but it’s important to mention that $5.46 is roughly 100 percent over the melt value of the gold that a One Goldback note contains. That’s one reason why it probably doesn’t make sense to buy a ton of them. Buy the more cost-effective bullion coins, bars, and rounds for bigger money.

New Hampshire - Pros & Cons of Relocating to the Free State
The Free State Project has organized over 24,000+ activists who have pledged to move to New Hampshire and campaign actively for its political independence. The group has already moved and contained over 6,200+ people in the state, with more arriving weekly. It has spent over a decade successfully rolling back laws, getting libertarians elected to office, and building the political and social networks needed for societal change. I believe if we free New Hampshire, we can ultimately win freedom everywhere, as we demonstrate, through a single “laboratory-of-liberty,” that you can have harmony and prosperity without “government.” We cover the movement weekly in Free State Project Corner in our weekly Five Meme Friday newsletter.
Etienne Note: FSP member Sarah Rodeo Dzialo put this list together for the Free State Project’s Facebook group, where I “taxed it” and turned it into this article.
