Complete Liberty Podcast
Show that promotes total respect for self-ownership, property rights, and personal choice--amidst the authoritarian/obedience-oriented political and psychological memes in American culture (and elsewhere). Basically, governments and all they entail are the problem, not the solution. Voluntarism (or market anarchism, or anarcho-capitalism) and customary law principles, in accordance with reason and dignity, spell the solution. www.completeliberty.com

All of the world's problems could be solved is we had clearly defined ownership

Security comes with respect for individuals rights, not violation of them
'Competing' police forces follows from a privatized system (no "public property")
The ills of socialized/communized "services"--denying individuals self-responsibility
Crime is the Health of The State, The Kaptain's Log by Kapt Kanada, aka Manuel Miles
http://www.ncc-1776.org/tle2007/tle446-20071202-09.html
Statists practices of the fine arts of theft, rape, murder, arson, and duplicity
The Statist "justice" system grows with the creation of more unjust laws, i.e., those that infringe on individual rights
Government people protecting their own, essentially ensuring their own security, not yours
The practice of coercing you in order to "help" you; the immense propaganda needed to keep the sham going
Ayn Rand's contradictions about government and objective laws
http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/anarchism.html
Anarchy simply means "no rulers"--no tyrants allowed
The government is a naive floating abstraction; the meme of government isn't much different than the meme of God, except that government translates directly into violence
Projecting one's fears onto the marketplace, creating gangs of armed thugs in one's mind to somehow maintain the meme of government (which is a giant gang of armed thugs, btw)
More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime And Gun-Control Laws by John R. Lott Jr. http://tinyurl.com/elg5u
For a rights-respecting person, the freedom to defend yourself is absolute
Peaceful coexistence is impossible with the gang called government
Defining one's terms: "competing governments" as contradictory
A coercive monopoly in the realm of justice essentially ruins society
Rand's (and big "O"bjectivists') strain of authoritarian sociopathy
Basically, people's fear of conflict with other people enslaves them and perpetuates government
A coercive monopoly of "justice" services, i.e., government (even one funded voluntarily) will always provide unjust and incompetent and expensive "services"
One case in point: Laws against private electricity production commerce; Jon Udell's Interviews with Innovators: Jock Gill - On Energy, IT, Markets and Society
http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/shows/detail3825.html
My experiences with the local mafia with a flag--parking ticket Nazis--who look to make criminals out of rights-respecting individuals
The brilliance of Ayn Rand was that she taught individuals to think independently and to use logic according to the main metaphysical laws (identity, causality, and non-contradiction)
Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology by Ayn Rand, Leonard Peikoff, Harry Binswanger
http://scholar.google.com.mx/books?id=_znYGPoNe2wC&dq=subject:%22Objectivism+(Philosophy)%22&lr=&as_brr=0&hl=en&rview=1&pgis=1
Objectively speaking, the coercive monopoly of government is a authoritarian mythology that contradicts the virtue of justice
The Biological Basis of Teleological Concepts by Harry Binswanger
http://www.aynrandbookstore2.com/prodinfo.asp?number=CB02B
Seeing "police" for what they are: individuals who join a gang that violates individual rights and only pays lip service to the virtue of justice (enough to hoodwink those they rule over and maintain their coercive monopoly)
Central planning is authoritarian sociopathy writ large--in which fears and love of domination deny freedom of choice
The most vile form of mysticism: the murderous meme of government, which has no "procedural safeguards"
Government as the preeminent violator of individual rights: denying people's capacity to choose a real upholder of justice
So naturally, real upholders of justice will be seen as threats to government
Understanding individual rights is simple: Don't hit people, don't take their stuff, and honor your promises (though no involuntary servitude is valid)
"Our Enemy, The Party" by SEKIII posted by Wally Conger
http://wconger.blogspot.com/2008/10/our-enemy-party.html
The ills of "partyarchy," i.e., vote-chasing and power-seeking; the absurd oxymoron of politician libertarianism
"The hopeless utopia of minarchy"
Distinction between politics and ethics, objectively speaking
http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/morality.html
Seeking freedom via the State is wrong; to be consistent, one must favor not only abolition over gradualism but also market over power as the means to achieve freedom
SEKIII: "The State loses by each free transaction committed in defiance or evasion of its laws, regulations and taxes; the State gains by every compliance with, acceptance of, and payment to its institutions. Thus does agorism create anarchy and partyarchy preserve the State."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-economics
Objectivists will always lose their argument for government to their more statist comrades

Using the guns of government--for the "good" of whom?
Report: 60 Million People You'd Never Talk To Voting For Other Guy

The endless rationalizations for unjustifiable statist coercion
So-called informed voters as the most corrupt
The contrary definitions of the word anarchy
Who gets to enforce their views on others? Voters, of course
Contrary to a democracy and even a Constitutional republic, in a just society there are no irreconcilable conflicts between individuals
"Conflicts" of Men's Interests by Ayn Rand (audio)

Local governments as biggest meddlers in our lives, who coercively monopolize whole swaths of the economy and extort money from individuals
The fallacy of the night-watchman State
Cognitive dissonance people retain between the nature of the market and government
Ominous parallels from Nazi Germany; collectivism and kowtowing to authority
The moral corruption in seeking a "license," getting approval from an unjust organization of people
Regulatory madness under the guise of "protection" of consumers; selling the regulatory racket...
How can someone claim to possess the authority to override your life and property? "Because I say so!"
Parental mistreatment of children's wills, inducing fears and destroying their semblance of rationality with mythologies
The article we didn't cover, for obvious reasons: The Case for Obama by Bruce Ramsey http://libertyunbound.com/article.php?id=24
None of the Above by Doug Casey
http://libertyunbound.com/article.php?id=26
Five reasons why you shouldn't vote: 1) it's unethical 2) it compromises your privacy 3) it's a degrading experience (begging for your freedom) 4) it just encourages the bastards 5) your vote only counts in the sense that it makes you complicit in the crimes inevitably committed by its recipient; and, of course, voting booths are merely suggestion boxes for slaves
A libertarian political party is contradictory; ballots can't be cast to determine and uphold principles
An encounter with SEK3, who wrote: http://agorism.info/docs/NewLibertarianManifesto.pdf
Why don't we vote for whether or not extortion is permissible in society! if you could really change things through voting, it would be illegal; the coercive funding of government is the crux of the issue
The end of "public property" spells the end of government, which is why people always bring up "the roads" argument--they sense the demise of mommy/daddy government if the roads are privatized
The authoritarian triad of family, church, and state

The immoral premise of statist "education": coercion is necessary to provide a service--the end justifies the irrational means
Spontaneous order of markets, i.e., individuals making their own choices based on their own context, needs and knowledge
Government fails, not only empirically, but also ethically
L. Neil Smith's inspiring words, once again, beseeching people to get government out of the way of their own potential for immense prosperity
Unanimous consent and the utopian vision by L. Neil Smith
http://www.lneilsmith.org/utopian.html
Strip the veneer of legitimacy from governmental employees, and you reveal simply a group of violent thugs
Freeing your personal life is key to freeing society; lifting the black cloud of oppression from your life
The governmental gang as the root cause of other gangs
Childhood acceptance of the argument "Because I said so!" leads to cognitive and moral dissonance (bad things must be ok because good people do them)
We always have the choice to do the right thing or the wrong thing--and to pretend we're not aware of it
Security can't be provided by those who extort money from you!
Pain caused by denial of the truth; "owning" one's pain and letting go of it; being optimistic and curious

Freedom is always an inside job
A New Beginning for e-gold?
http://blog.e-gold.com/2008/07/a-new-beginning.html
Kowtowing to the fascists in order to run a business
Fed pot calling the e-gold kettle black: The U.S. government is the biggest money launderer in the history of humankind!
The governmental "officials" are the REAL criminals
Money laundering as primarily a phenomenon of the "war on drugs," i.e., the war on people
Fed's modus operandi: printing "money" out of thin air and monopolizing the universal medium of exchange (e.g., via legal tender laws)
Another hard money business, http://goldmoney.com, and issues with the Liberty Dollar http://www.libertydollar.org/ - latest news, btw: http://www.libertydollar.org/news-stories/pdfs/1222573426.pdf
Perceived value of fiat currency...courtesy of governmental coercion, of course
Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury--the biggest counterfeiters around
The dynamic economy that governmental goons have deprived you of over the years
Devaluation of fiat currency makes you more and more poor
Trading dollars for real money as good monetary, political, and psychological action
Paper receipts redeemable for metal money versus non-redeemable paper dollars
The abandonment of the semi-free market gold standard and the sinister master stroke of pricing oil in dollars
Info tech productivity effects as great counterweight to governmental insanity
Governmental (communized) roads and bridges are NOTHING compared to governmental currency (communized "money system")
Fractional reserve banking as financial alchemy and the ultimate Ponzi scheme
Money as metal, and fiat currency as mere paper backed by guns (dominating the world today)
All fiat currencies have failed throughout history
Those "in charge" know less than nothing; they only know a lot of what isn't so; Keynesian economics is illogical and immoral

http://mises.org/article.aspx?Id=606
So, those who cause recessions, depressions, etc., are the worst type of fascists, because they seek to control the very lifeblood of an economy--money
We must look to the free enterprise sector to utilize sound money; e.g., Shire Silver (http://shiresilver.com/)
The end of fractional reserve banking would make honest people out of present banksters
The end of the State spells the end of the deceptive and corrupt corporate system too
What Has Government Done to Our Money? by Murray N. Rothbard

Reflections on the Origin and the Stability of the State by Hans-Hermann Hoppe
http://www.lewrockwell.com/hoppe/hoppe18.html
The Hobbesian State remains in a perpetual state of nature
Who governs the governors? It's turtles all the way down...
The State itself isn't bound by any outside enforcer, so no external 3rd party exists to hold it accountable; the State is in a state of anarchy!
The State as the mafia with a flag, the organization of authoritarian sociopaths who live off productive people
The procedures of government are just public relations bs
The basic structure of all government comes from the desperation of the authoritarian sociopathic personality within any given community realizing that they have nothing of value (no product or service) to offer their neighbors in voluntarily trade
Those in government love the idea of forcing others to provide for them
The mainstream media's complicity, and government schools' as indoctrination camps
supplemental reading: The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto
http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/chapters/index.htm
The gravity well of governmental coercion and corruption
You don't need to steal to provide a product of service
Fear of productiveness and the hatred of the good for being the good
http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/envyhatredofthegoodforbeingthegood.html
The cover-up: collectivistic and altruistic propaganda, and the ethics of sacrifice
http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/sacrifice.html
Governmental employees true motives are the opposite of their rhetoric
If you have to deal with a governmental bureaucrat, ask them this pointed question: Other than the threat of physical violence, what is the nature of the relationship between you (and your violent organization) and me?
Making coercive thugs pay a spiritual price, just by asking some simple questions and making some simple ethical observations
The State is a legal fiction; thus, there can be no crimes against the State
An alternative pledge of allegiance: I pledge allegiance to the logic of my own life and my own well-being and to my own happiness for which it stands, one mind independent, purposeful, with liberty and justice for me
Neither bullets nor ballot: Violence, including the vote, cannot bring liberty by Wendy McElroy  
http://www.wendymcelroy.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.165
"Benjamin Tucker maintained that one could no more attack government by electing politicians than one could prevent crime by becoming a criminal"
No one has the right to a position of power over others; something Ron Paul Revolutionaries need to integrate
Most people are conflicted philosophically, so their integrity suffers
Essentially, voting is violence
"Anarchism analyzes the State as an institution whose purpose is to violate rights in order to secure benefits to a privileged class...Thus, the political anarchist must explain why he aspires to an office he proclaims inherently unjust"
The contradictory ideas and behavior of most Free State Project members (http://freestateproject.org)
Rationalizing taking governmental jobs...
Another question for governmental employees: If what you're doing is so valuable to the community, why don't you offer it on a voluntary basis?
Exposing a contradictory code of ethics
Various Free Staters' bad plan of joining the mafia and convincing their fellow coercers that putting down the guns will be a good thing
Exposing the psychological, emotional, landscape...
Transitioning mentally to the ethics of complete liberty; the growing snowball of awareness
Making people aware of their fear of good ideas
Message to Free Staters: Joining a criminal gang in order to get rid of criminality won't achieve freedom
Freeing your personal life from statist mentalities, and then strategizing a plan to free your political life from statist mentalities
Getting personal with those who seek to rule over you
Signs of Autumn by B.R. Merrick
http://www.strike-the-root.com/82/merrick/merrick5.html
The violence of elections taken to its logical conclusion--guns pointed at you
One reason that political anarchism (or any form of minarchism) will never work: Productive and respectful people will never want to get involved with the insanity and evil of politics
Ron Paul's contradictions
You "win" in politics by being a very crafty, deceiving, equivocating coercer--Obama as icon for this sociopathy
