Is everyone ready to admit the military has significant influence on the lives of average Americans, yet? If not, we’re here all week. Independence Day is approaching and may be its own litmus test for whether it means anything. What may a libertarian in an influential position do? There was no real agenda for this week, so we wandered a bit.
Militarist Monetary Theory
We’re for free markets and privatization, but not how the officials use these terms. We explain why. We also ask why we need government to protect us or why anyone but ourselves are responsible for our actions? There’s a brief foray into Covid vaccines, and we finish with wokism vs. individualism. Guess which side we’re on.
A Cloudy Future
We start with a little discussion of the stimuli and who they’re really benefitting. Then, we walk a path from Cornel West through Israel-Palestine, to Iraq and Iran and finally back to Biden. We close with a long discussion of the Orwellian future we may be facing, if we don’t start pushing back against our government.
Pentagon Reach-Around
More election lunacy, but don’t worry. We move past it pretty quickly, shifting to predictions for the last couple of months of Trump’s Presidency and the beginnings of the Biden administration, focusing on foreign policy prospects. We close with some observations of the continuing Covid craziness.
