Terrence K. Williams: I’m starting a new underground railroad for all the black people that are scared to leave the Democratic plantation

(INTELLIHUB) — Actor, comedian, and commentator Terrence K. Williams says that he is starting a new underground railroad for African-Americans who are scared of leaving the Democratic plantation.

“I’m starting a new underground railroad for all the black people that are scared to leave the Democratic plantation,” Williams said on Tuesday during a live Periscope broadcast. “I know that the Democrats can be very cruel, I know that they are manipulating you, I know that it is hard to leave their side because they will bash you, they will hurt you, and end your career.”

The famed comedian made clear in his transmission that the Democrats have not done anything for America or blacks.

“Our communities are like sh*tholes […] it doesn’t make any sense,” he said. “Trump is trying to help the black communities but he’s got a lot of work to do because the Democrats are trying to stop him from helping the black community.”

Williams added: “The Democrats were the ones who owned slaves, they were the ones that wanted to keep slavery alive. […] That is like someone cheating on you, and beating on you, and then bringing you flowers. Bringing you flowers is not going to change the fact that they did you wrong.”

The outspoken comedian also spoke about President Johnson’s “Ni*ger Bill” which he said was an all out fraud after Johnson stated that ‘Negros were getting pretty uppity since they have gotten something that they had never had before.’

“President Johnson, the one that signed the Civil Rights Act of 1974 said that ‘we have got to give them something, just enough to quiet them down a little bit but not enough to make a difference,’ and guess what he gave them […] food stamps [and] Section 8.”

Williams made clear hat Johnson gave blacks stuff so that they would not be worried about getting a job or creating a business which drove black America further into the ground.

“Let’s give them something that they can settle for, something that they do not have to work for to keep them down,” Williams explained. “We don’t want these Negros to rise above us — we don’t want these Negros to eat among us, we don’t want them to be able to afford.”

Williams went on: “Even though he signed the Civil Rights Act and he fought to end segregation, he said, well even though I say that these black people can eat with us at the restaurant, let’s create something so that they cannot afford to eat with us.”

Woman smashes cell phones with hammer, not guns, because cell phones kill more people

ORCHID HILL (INTELLIHUB) — Georgia resident Kerri Foster smashed several cellphones with a hammer on a pick-nick table while displaying two of her household’s AR-15s to demonstrate that cell phones kill far more people in America then guns do.

The ultra-viral video which has over 2.8 million views and is causing liberal snowflakes to melt.

Foster said that she checked into a lot of statistics recently which led to her decision to smash her cell phones which actually pose more of a danger than AR-15’s historically speaking.

“I’ve just decided after looking at all the statistics online about deaths caused and violence and all of the rest of it that I have decided to make a change in my household and two objects in my household have the potential to cause deaths for innocent people,” she explained. “These two objects have caused families to break up, they’ve caused all kinds of turmoil all across the world, not just the United States, so, today I have decided to do my part to take these two objects off the streets so where they don’t have the potential to hurt anybody anymore ever again.”

After that, the woman proceeded to smash her two cell phones with a hammer, shattering them into pieces.

(INTELLIHUB) — Hip-hop artist/Rapper Blooded the Brave, a.k.a. Kyle Reese, appeared on The Shepard Ambellas Show Friday, where he spoke about his new synth-wave sound and governmental control.

“I’m not shocked by it — I have an inner peace because these people that are pulling the strings are so desperate, they’re scared of us,” he explained. “I mean, we’re the ones with the power, that’s why they do this, that’s why people feel like they have to […] do everything they tell us because we’ve been brainwashed.”

Former NSA tech head leaks 2016 FISC memo precursor

The leaked 99 page memo is a precursor to the other 4 page memo, still not released

WASHINGTON (INTELLIHUB) — Here is the recently leaked 2016 FISC memo the deep state has kept hidden from the general public for some time.

A big hat tip to former NSA tech head William Benny for having the courage to release this.

The 99 page document, first initiated in 2016, is heavily redacted and was entered and signed by U.S. FISC Judge Rosemary M. Collyer on April 26, 2017.

According to Infowars:

This memo, hiding in plain site, serves as the basis for the four-page memo of Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) which reveals perjury by the Obama administration when connected to other research.

[…]

Despite media claims to the contrary, our congressional sources confirmed that the below memo documenting NSA spying on US citizens serves as a primary source of information for the Nunes summary memo.

With no further ado, here is the 2016 FISC memo (Please #RT):

What Nobody Wants to Admit About the 2018 Women’s March

(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) Las Vegas, NV — The 2018 Women’s March was promoted as an all-inclusive event designed to empower all types of women. According to the official Women’s March website:

“The mission of Women’s March is to harness the political power of diverse women and their communities to create transformative social change. Women’s March is a women-led movement providing intersectional education on a diverse range of issues and creating entry points for new grassroots activists & organizers to engage in their local communities through trainings, outreach programs and events. Women’s March is committed to dismantling systems of oppression through nonviolent resistance and building inclusive structures guided by self-determination, dignity and respect.”

The issues the march sought to bring to the forefront of Americans’ minds included reproductive rights (defined as “open access to safe, legal, affordable abortion and birth control for all people, regardless of income, location or education”); LGBTQIA Rights (that’s lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer/questioning, intersex, and asexual/allies, for the uninitiated); workers rights; civil rights; immigrants rights; and environmental justice. The Women’s March also called for “an all-inclusive Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.”

Despite the wide range of issues listed on the Women’s March website, there was not an obvious mention of the ways that war affects women (and humanity at large). In fact, there was no upfront critique of issues that affect not only women of all types, but all Americans, such as the growing surveillance and police state or America’s destructive foreign policy. At the bottom of the “issues” page, there is a link to a PDF that further explains the importance of the listed issues. In that document, there is one comment about “accountability and justice for police brutality,” as well as calls for “an immediate end to arming police with the military grade weapons and military tactics.”

At the very end of the document, the organizers of the Women’s March noted:

“We recognize that to achieve any of the goals outlined within this statement, we must work together to end war and live in peace with our sisters and brothers around the world. Ending war means a cessation to the direct and indirect aggression caused by the war economy and the concentration of power in the hands of a wealthy elite who use political, social, and economic systems to safeguard and expand their power.”

It may seem like nitpicking to critique the lack of a substantive anti-war/anti-police state message on the site, but while attending the marches in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, I did not hear or see these issues represented. In fact, during the speeches in L.A. — with hundreds of thousands in attendance — one speaker in the morning mentioned the need to end the war economy. She was met with near-total silence. Perhaps the crowd didn’t hear the speaker or didn’t understand the vernacular, but it seemed odd for such an important issue to be met with silence after the crowd cheered loudly for declarations on trans-rights, immigrants’ rights, and hate for Donald Trump. Contrast this with the fact that the crowd cheered wildly when one speaker called former President Barack Obama one of the best presidents ever. I am guessing they were not aware that the Obama administration was responsible for more deportations than any other president. And it’s not just the website or the speakers who lacked a critical look at the war and the surveillance state. While attending the Vegas and L.A. marches, I saw a single sign mentioning war (nuclear war, specifically). The focus was largely on identity politics and immigration.

Immigration was a heavy focus of the marches due to the latest government shutdown after Democrats and Republicans failed to come to an agreement on immigration reform related to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Identity politics has increasingly become popular in left-wing progressive and Democratic circles. The Women’s March speakers made a point of discussing the need for an intersectional movement — that is, a movement that speaks to the needs of women of all colors, religions, and sexual orientations.

Some readers may be thinking, “So what? Immigration and identity politics are the norm for the American left.” But therein lies the problem: The march was promoted as an all-inclusive event for women. However, the politics of the organizers made it clear that the march was aimed specifically at left-leaning progressive women. In fact, 2017 march attendee Kristen Day, a progressive woman who opposes abortion, told Religious News Service that she was attacked because she had a sign that read “Pro-life for the whole life.” RNS wrote:

“Day is one of many progressives who oppose abortion while also touting left-leaning views on other issues, a position she says is increasingly tenuous in today’s polarized political climate.

‘A lot of Democrats believe in science, climate change and that life begins in the womb,’ Day said. She later added: ‘These are liberal people. They’re not conservative at all: They support minimum wage increases, maternity leave and immigration reform.’”

The experience of feeling unwelcome was echoed by activists who spoke to Anti-Media. Some women who attended the 2017 march decided not to come back because they felt it was more about being against Donald Trump than being for tangible solutions to the problems women face. Others said they were turned off by the pro-Hillary mentality. Based on what I saw at the L.A. and Vegas marches, it’s doubtful conservative women would have been welcomed at the 2018 march. The events were specifically aimed at left-leaning liberal women who prefer to use government as their tool for creating change in the world.

The organizers’ desire to push marchers towards voting for Democrats was not concealed, as the theme of the second annual Women’s March was “Power to the Polls.” The Las Vegas event was apparently only the beginning of a national voter registration tour designed to “channel the energy and activism of the Women’s March into tangible strategies and concrete wins in 2018.” The tour will focus on registering voters in swing states and encouraging them to vote for women and progressive candidates.This strategy may already be working. TIME magazine recently reported that a record number of women are running for political office:

“In dozens of interviews with TIME, progressive women described undergoing a metamorphosis. In 2016, they were ordinary voters. In 2017, they became activists, spurred by the bitter defeat of the first major female presidential candidate at the hands of a self-described pussy grabber. Now, in 2018, these doctors and mothers and teachers and executives are jumping into the arena and bringing new energy to a Democratic Party sorely in need of fresh faces. About four times as many Democratic women are running for House seats as Republican women, according to the Center for American Women and Politics; in the Senate, the ratio is 2 to 1.”

A sign carried by an activist at the 2018 Women’s March.

One look at the partners of the Women’s March makes it even more clear that the event was funded and supported by groups who have a history of supporting the Democratic Party. Interestingly, TIME notes that November’s midterm elections will be a “crucial first test” of new female candidates and “the well-oiled advocacy groups behind them.” Some of these advocacy groups are partners of the Women’s March and are working to use their influence and bank accounts to sway young women and first-time activists into supporting Democratic Party candidates.

Does this mean the Women’s March was completely co-opted and funded by the Democratic Party? Not exactly. So far, there is no clear pipeline from the Democratic Party to the Women’s March. However, these non-governmental organizations, political action committees, and non-profits essentially form a diffuse network through which individuals connected to the Democrats can direct their supporters towards the party. For example, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the House Democrats’ campaign arm, asked supporters to sign a petition endorsing the goals of the 2018 Women’s March. USA Today reported on the DCCC’s efforts to invest in the march:

“House Democrats, hoping to tap into the energy from the March, invested earlier than ever before in state parties to help hire full-time organizers who could partner at the local level with grassroots groups. One group, called Swing Left, helps progressives in safe Democratic districts support candidates in the closest competitive district. So far, Swing Left and allied groups have raised nearly $4 million to be delivered to the eventual Democratic nominees in swing districts.”

Further, Representative Ben Ray Lujan, current chairman of the DCCC, told USA Today it was critical for the DCCC to launch its 2018 field program immediately after the march. “Local organizers have been working from day one with incredible grassroots organizations like Indivisible and Swing Left,” Lujan told USA Today. It should be noted that the DCCC is not just some random committee. As the chairman of the DCCC, Ray Lujan holds the fourth-ranking position among House Democrats, after the minority leader, the minority whip, and the Democratic caucus chairperson. This means he has a reasonable level of influence and power in the House. His endorsement of the march as a tactic to gain more Democratic votes adds weight to the theory that the Women’s March was in some way co-opted — or at least exploited — by the Democratic Party.

At the end of the day, the only solution offered to marches was voting in upcoming elections. Even those who mentioned getting involved locally only focused on political action. I didn’t hear a single speaker mention any form of community volunteering or action that was not related to casting a vote. This reinforces the narrative that the only way for the people to achieve change is through the ballot box. For all the talk of respecting women’s bodies and their right to self-ownership and determination, the marchers were happy to use the force of government to enact their vision of a more female-friendly society. The message was “I own my body, but you don’t own yours.” The marchers were largely supportive of using government to take money away from working-class Americans (in the form of taxation) to fund health care, immigration rights, abortion, and all the other causes they believe are necessary for a better world. Frankly, however, it’s hypocritical to say you want the government out of your body while you promote the idea of using government to make decisions for other free people.

While it should be celebrated that women of all ages, races, backgrounds, and sexual orientations gathered in the hundreds of thousands around the world, we should not ignore the obvious influence of the corporate Democratic Party. We do ourselves no favors by choosing not to acknowledge the lack of an anti-war/pro-peace message. We should be willing to ask why the march organizers believe “Fight! Fight! Fight!” and “Revolution!” means voting for one of the two parties that contribute to America’s divided political landscape. Until the marchers are willing to ask these difficult questions and seek the truth, I fear the Women’s March is going to fail to achieve any sort of lasting empowerment for women.

“Activist B***hes Supporting B***hes”: Hillary Clinton Appears In Bizarre ‘Feminist’ Video After Revelation That She Protected Accused Sexual Abuser

Just hours after responding to a report that revealed that she had protected a member of her campaign who was accused of repeated sexual harassment, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared in a bizarre video “shout out” to feminist activists she claims to support.

The former Secretary of State made the strange comments in a video posted to the Twitter account of Huffington Post commentator Alex Mohajer.

“Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thanks,” Clinton can be heard saying as the video zooms in on her face. “Thank you for your feminism, for your activism, and all I can hope if you keep up the really important good work.”

As the video continues someone can be heard shouting in the background, “activist b***hes supporting b***hes before Clinton apparently decided to repeat it.

“And let me just say, this is directed to the activist b***hes supporting b***hes, so let’s go,” Hillary laughably stated.

A message “to all the activist bitches supporting bitches” by the inimitable @HillaryClinton. pic.twitter.com/fnUfsJnUN4

— Alex Mohajer (@AlexMohajer) January 27, 2018

In a follow up tweet about his now viral post, Mohajer claimed that activist b***hes supporting b***hes is actually the name of a hard-left feminist group that was asking for and got a shout out from Clinton.

Regardless the video is extremely weird, especially when you consider that it was published just hours after Clinton responded to a highly sourced report that detailed her protection of a serial sexual harasser.

“The report revealed the disgusting allegations against Clinton faith adviser Burns Strider and the shocking fact that after his young subordinate came forward, Clinton herself apparently stepped in to keep him on her campaign while moving his alleged victim elsewhere,” I wrote in a write up about the allegations for SHTFplan.com

“Not only did Clinton herself protect Strider, her own staff, who were completely aware of his conduct, refused to even speak about it for almost 10 years in order to protect Hillary and her political ambitions.”

In true Clinton fashion, Hillary responded to the allegations by flat out lying, ludicrously claiming that she did the EXACT OPPOSITE of what the New York Times report alleges.

A story appeared today about something that happened in 2008. I was dismayed when it occurred, but was heartened the young woman came forward, was heard, and had her concerns taken seriously and addressed.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) January 27, 2018

I called her today to tell her how proud I am of her and to make sure she knows what all women should: we deserve to be heard.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) January 27, 2018

Keep in mind, Clinton specifically protected the woman’s abuser and is now expecting the American people to believe that she was “heartened” by the woman coming forward in the first place?!

Unbelievable.

Weinstein’s victims were also heard — by legions of PIs and lawyers. Nassar’s victims were also heard — by incompetent, evil bureaucrats. Being “heard” is not enough. You heard, and you moved *her* https://t.co/idqUkx0yye

What Good is ‘Preaching to the Choir’?

Choir-master leading a rural congregation singing hymns. Hand-colored woodcut of a 19th-century illustration (Photo credit: Mediastorehouse.com)

A comment posted under a recent Oath Keepers article admonished us to essentially keep quiet about issues of vital interest and threats to freedom. The argument went:

• We’re preaching to the choir.


• Being informed is not enough. We need a plan that will be supported and acted upon.


• Otherwise, we could get in trouble for talking about it.

I disagree on several points. Here’s why.

First of all, not everyone is in the choir.  The people in the pews — some not even paying attention — aren’t.  The choir is comprised of activists, people who make and keep a regular commitment to practice, to improve, to work together and to perform. Appreciating (or not) the results of their efforts does not make one a member of the choir.

I do agree that simply being informed is not enough. No one intends for readers here to merely consume information and then do nothing else with it. That should go without saying, as should requests to share information with people we know that may otherwise only see what “gatekeeper media” wants them to. Ditto for writing to legislators.

In other words, there’s always something we can do with information if we want to.

When there are “projects” designed to elicit cooperation, Oath Keepers does that — all the time — from asking for volunteers, to helping fund educational projects, to providing humanitarian relief, to joining or re-upping membership. It’s on us whether we will heed those calls and pitch in, or ignore them.

The thing is, activism, even when joining with others, will always be an individual decision. And we don’t generally need group action. So if you see something like an ATF solicitation with a fast-approaching deadline up for public comment, we don’t need a consensus to act. If we’re serious about this, we ought to be involving ourselves without being asked.

If we see something else—something that does not solicit a specific action, like information on the Democrat budget shutdown, or oath-breaking generals joining forces with Gun-grabby Gabby, or domestic enemies embedded in high levels of government, why not share it, instead of complaining that learning of such things is “preaching to the choir” that will only get us in trouble if the wrong ears hear us talking about it?

On that last point, good grief. The day we fear speaking truth to power is the day we may as well surrender our guns, because we’ll have proven we won’t be needing them.

And since when is cutting off intel any kind of winning strategy?

Journalist Ben Swann Is Returning Thanks To DASH Cryptocurrency

By Derrick Broze

After nearly a year of silence on social media, journalist Ben Swann is preparing to make his triumphant return using the popular DASH cryptocurrency. 

On February 1, 2017, award-winning journalist Ben Swann “went dark” as his social media accounts on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and elsewhere were suddenly deactivated. Swann is a well-known local journalist at CBS46 in Atlanta, as well as a viral Internet sensation for his Reality Check investigative reports. Swann’s Reality Check reports began to garner attention around the 2012 U.S. election and have continued to gain millions of views while questioning the mainstream narrative.

Prior to his disappearance, Swann had been under attack by much of the corporate media (as well as left-leaning media which supported Hillary Clinton) for his now notorious Reality Check segment on the controversial Pizzagate theory. During the segment, Swann draws attention to what he sees as curious aspects of the theory which warrant further attention. Swann was immediately attacked by The Daily Beast (going so far as to place a tin-foil hat on the journalist), the Inquisitr, and many other publications. CBS46 initially defended Ben Swann’s reporting, but later appeared to take the blame for allowing the report to air.

Shortly after the Pizzagate segments and the subsequent attacks, Ben Swann posted the following message across social media:

Hey guys, everyone is asking if everything is ok. They are. I will be heading back to CBS46 on Monday but there will be changes. The biggest one will be that this social media page will be going dark f/n on Tuesday, Feb. 1. We’ve been building this project for 6 years and those who have come to know me.. I hope you have also come to trust me.

Swann’s disappearance from the Internet sparked a massive debate and outcry from his supporters who wondered whether or not the Internet sensation had become a victim of censorship or something worse. Despite shutting down his own website (Truth In Media) and all his social media channels, Ben Swann continued to report on CBS46 in Atlanta. However, his reporting has exclusively focused on local news as opposed to the hard hitting journalism of his earlier Reality Check segments.

 

 

Ben Swann Returns Thanks to DASH, Digital Cash

In mid-December 2017, Ben Swann began posting in the forums of the cryptocurrency, DASH. While an increasing amount of public attention is given to the popular cryptocurrency Bitcoin, many people in the privacy focused crypto community are placing their support behind DASH.  Originally released under the name “Darkcoin” back in 2014, the crypto would later be rebranded as DASH, or digital cash.

What differentiates DASH from Bitcoin and other alt coins? DASH is designed to confirm transactions faster than Bitcoin with their “InstantSend” feature which can confirm payments in less than a second. DASH also allows for privacy with transactions and balances via “PrivateSend.”

The biggest feature that sets DASH apart from Bitcoin is the use of self-governing, self-funding protocol. This allows users to submit proposals to the treasury which help grow the DASH community and potentially receive funding. (DASH is a powerful cryptocurrency and I recommend visiting their website linked above for a more thorough, technical understanding.) Users submit proposals via forums in the DASH community. It is in these forums where Ben Swann sought assistance for reviving Reality Check and his Truth In Media website. Ben Swann wrote:

We propose that just as DASH is creating disruption in the financial world, it now creates disruption in the media world by bringing back to the masses Reality Check with Ben Swann. As the sole sponsor of Reality Check, DASH will be branded and tied to what is one of the most successful news segments in the world. Our hope is to establish and sustain a long-term partnership, and we would be honored to be an enduring ambassador of Dash.

Swann’s proposal called on the DASH community to fund the return of 24, two- to five-minute episodes of Reality Check. The proposal also asked for funding for hiring writers for the Truth In Media website, including a section on cryptocurrencies like DASH. In late December the proposal was approved with Ben Swann and team receiving a payout of 800 DASH per month for 3 months (about $2.3 million USD). According to the proposal, the episodes will air every Tuesday and Thursday beginning February 6th.

Although Ben Swann’s proposal was ultimately approved by the community, he did face opposition because of his reporting on Pizzagate and vaccinations. In response to two different questions regarding Pizzagate, Ben had the following to say:

First, Pizzagate. I can’t say a lot about this at this point but I will say this. I did not create Pizzagate. Nor was I the first journalist to cover it. In fact, I did not cover it until every major network in the country talked about the gunman who entered the pizza place. Those networks also reported that the gunman was responding to a fake conspiracy theory but never explained what that theory was. After receiving hundreds of requests to explain the theory, that is what I did. You may not like the fact that I covered the story at all, but you are yet to explain what I said in that report that was false.

Regarding his social media blackout Swann offered the following:

I can’t discuss (yet) everything that has happened to cause RC to be discontinued. I am still working working with CBS in Atlanta. I can tell you that since the beginning of 2017, I have had dozens of huge websites and video content companies contact me about providing RC through their channels. I have absolutely no doubt that the continued viral reach will not be a problem. I still receive several dozen emails every week asking when RC will come back.

Ben Swann also confirmed that he will begin appearing publicly starting with the Anarchapulco conference in Acapulco, Mexico in late February. “I have already been invited by Jeff Berwick to speak in Acapulco… The slot I have been offered is to be just before the keynote speaker (Dr. Ron Paul),” Swann wrote.

Ben Swann’s reporting style, honesty, and credibility has been sorely missing from the independent media for the last year. Many of us (myself included) have done our best to fill the gap left by Swann. It will be a great pleasure to have Ben Swann back in the trenches working alongside the truth media.

Crypto Benefactors Of Liberty Are Rising Up

By Brittany Hunter

Bitcoin and other crypto assets are tipping the established balance of power.

One of the most intriguing aspects of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged is that the novel’s protagonists actually have great wealth and thus, the power to really change the world. It was precisely this wealth born of value creation that allowed Rand’s heroes to leave behind their booming industries and establish Galt’s Gulch. And by doing so, our heroes instigated the formation of a new society, one that valued individualism, entrepreneurship, and decentralization.

While Atlas Shrugged may be a work of fiction, the rise of cryptocurrency has presented a new opportunity for real-life heroes to truly enact change.

Crazy Libertarians and Their Bitcoin

Over the last several years, and especially over the last few weeks, I have watched some of my closest friends become abundantly wealthy as a result of crypto investments. And while I could not be happier for their financial success, there is something deeply significant about this newfound wealth.

As Bitcoin grew to become a household name over the years, articles were written cautioning against this burgeoning cryptocurrency. But the concern was not necessarily with Bitcoin itself, or even blockchain; it was about the people who are naturally attracted to such technology.

In 2013, Forbes wrote about “crazy libertarians” flocking to Bitcoin. This sentiment was echoed by the CEO of Reddit in 2014 when he said, “The user base for Bitcoin is basically crazy libertarians.” And of course, economist Paul Krugman has routinely warned that this new technology is “evil” specifically because its primary users were eager to find ways to bypass the Federal Reserve and the United States’ disastrous monetary policies.

And while it may be true that your friend who just made a million dollars from Bitcoin also frequently dons an “End the Fed” t-shirt, this is hardly a cause for concern. On the contrary, it is a cause for celebration.

For decades, many liberty enthusiasts have dedicated themselves to academia, think tanks, or grassroots activism. And while each of these roles is essential to spreading the precepts of liberty, they do not often come with outrageously high salaries.

There is absolutely no shame in choosing to pursue your passions rather than to seek only financial gain. But there is also no shame in choosing to do both.

A Plethora of Peter Thiels

When PayPal founder Peter Thiel donated $500,000 in seed money to start the Seasteading Institute, he was able to do so without batting an eyelash. Coming in at number 12 on Forbes’s 2017 “Midas List,” Thiel has been the poster boy for libertarian success.

As a prosperous venture capitalist, Thiel has been able to use his vast wealth to fund projects he believes in. Many libertarians advocate political decentralization. And seasteading allows individuals to voluntarily choose to live in permanent dwellings in the middle of the ocean, free from government interference.

And while the non-libertarian reader might think this idea crazy, what really matters is that because of his net worth of $2.5 billion, he was able to give a total of $1.7 million to the Seasteading Institute.

But thanks to Bitcoin and other cryptoassets, Thiel is no longer one of the few libertarians with the means to fund decentralization projects.

Erik Finman was fourteen years old when he purchased as much Bitcoin as he could for $1,000. Given to him by his grandmother, he used the money to buy the cryptocurrency when it was only $12 per bitcoin. Now 19, that investment is currently around $5 million. Finman, who has expressed pro-decentralization sentiment on Twitter, has also decided to use his wealth to fund projects that he believes in.

Finman dropped out of high school after the public school system failed him. As described in the Bitcoinist, “Finman had a terrible time going through the school system. He was bored and unmotivated. He says one teacher even told him that he would never amount to anything, so he should just drop out of school and start flipping burgers at McDonald’s.”

But it was this extreme disappointment in the public education system that inspired Finman’s latest project. Committed to creating new privately-funded alternatives to public education, Finman founded Botangle, an online educational platform, in 2013.

Since then, he has expanded his vision and is now planning to build the “world’s best university” in Dubai. Finman, who believes college has become a waste of time, plans to use his wealth to create the type of school he wished could have existed for himself. But because Bitcoin allowed him to obtain this tremendous wealth, he is now able to impact future generations by funding schools he truly believes in.

For liberty activists who have been eager to enact change but frustrated by the stumbling blocks presented through the legislative process, they now have the chance to enact real change.

And this change doesn’t necessarily mean creating something new as Thiel and Finman did.

As mentioned earlier, think tanks are also integral to spreading liberty. And since most libertarians are opposed to government funding in the form of grants or subsidies, most think tanks and other nonprofit organizations of the liberty persuasion choose instead to raise funds from individual donors.

Just last week, FEE received one full Bitcoin from an anonymous donor. At the time of the donation, that one Bitcoin was worth around $14,000. Whether or not this donor was one of the many liberty activists who just became wealthy from crypto is unknown. However, these types of donations are becoming more and more common as activists now have the money to back their ideas. And that is really where their power lies.

The Power to Change the World

So many idealists want to change the world. But the unfortunate reality is that many lack the resources to bring about substantial change.

On an application for an internship I applied for years ago in college, I was asked how I would spread liberty if had access to large sums of money. Talking through my response with other liberty friends, we imagined all the vast ways we could change the world, if only we had the means to do so.

Now, one of those friends has made a small fortune thanks to the crypto economy and has used that money not only to donate to causes he believes in, but to also start his own company through which he can spread the message of liberty.

By using his money to put his beliefs into action, he is, to borrow from Randian speak, stopping the motor of the world, as is Thiel, Finman, and countless others. Since the government has a monopoly on force, we may never be able to achieve success through the legislative process. But each time a crypto activist uses their money to further decentralization, liberty wins. Any doubt of this can be cleared up by considering the fear expressed by many regulators and statist economists every time crypto breaks through another barrier.

Bitcoin and other crypto assets are tipping the established balance of power. And where so many other ideologies demonize wealth, libertarians understand how this can be used to promote change.

As the fictional Atlas Shrugged hero Francisco D’Anconia says in his infamous “money” speech, “Your wallet is your statement of hope…”

Iran Protests Through The Prism Of Geopolitics

By Chris Kanthan

What’s happening in Iran? Are the protests genuinely spontaneous? Are the grievances authentic and deep-rooted? Or is it a drama created by covert, regime-change puppeteers? And what are the geopolitical implications of the success or failure of these events?

The main purported reason is a failing economy, but some of the protesters are even calling for the end of Islamic Republic.

Undoubtedly, the college-educated, Iranian Middle Class wants to get rid of Sharia Law. After all, Iran was quite secular before 1979.

However, the narrative about the economy makes no sense. Iran’s economy has been booming for the last two years since the US/EU sanctions were removed. If there was an ideal time for an economic uprising, it would have been between 2012 and 2015. Below is a picture of real GDP growth in the last seven years:

As for high unemployment, it’s caused by U.S. sanctions that decimated Iran’s exports; and the high inflation is a result Wall Street’s war on Iran’s currency (Rial). In 2012, Obama also cut off Iran from the world banking system (SWIFT) and froze $100 billion of Iran’s foreign exchange reserves.

However, Iran has managed to thrive by developing new relations and striking lucrative economic deals with many countries.

• China has agreed to invest $25 billion in various projects within Iran


• Qatar is partnering with Iran on the largest natural gas field on earth


• Russia has agreed to build a 1200-km gas pipeline from Iran to India; and Russia is working with Iran on linking their banking systems (which means freedom from international bankers)


• Iran is poised to join EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) and the powerful SCO (Shanghai Co-op Org) in early 2018, and so on.

In foreign affairs, Iran won the Syrian war, defeated ISIS, and successfully negotiated the nuclear deal (JCPOA) with Obama. Even mainstream US media has declared that Iran is the new superpower in the Middle East.

Thus, in domestic and foreign affairs, there are plenty of reasons for Iranians to be hopeful and proud.

What’s Next? The CIA and Israeli agencies have been openly planning regime change operations against Iran for the last year. All the current events are just replays, if you remember the sequence of events in 2011 in Libya and Syria.

Things are escalating rapidly, protesters are turning violent, and terrorist attacks are aimed at crippling the economy. There are videos of protesters burning police stations and attacking government buildings and throwing grenades. Sunni jihadists — favorite proxy soldiers of globalists —blew up oil pipelines on the third day of protests. The next couple of weeks will determine the fate of this attempted coup.

Geopolitical Importance of Iran: There are numerous reasons why Iran is geopolitically pivotal. To start with, Iran has the 4^th largest oil reserves in the world and also shares the largest natural gas reserves with Qatar. A sanction-free Iran will be a serious competitor to Saudi and US oil/gas corporations.

Second, the Persian Gulf is the conduit for 40% of all oil tankers in the world. A war with Iran has the potential to devastate the world economy.

Then there’s the Shiite Crescent that comprises of four contiguous countries: Iran-Iraq-Syria-Lebanon. (Oh, translate Lebanon into Hezbollah). Two countries who fear this reality are Saudi Arabia and Israel. And the failure of Neocons to conquer Syria after six years of proxy wars has only reinforced the urgency to neutralize Iran, which plays a major role in defending Assad.

Geographically, Iran is the link between the Middle East on one side and the Caucasus, Central Asia and South Asia on the other side.

With a large, well-educated middle class population and massive reserves of oil/gas, Iran has the potential to become a powerful economy and a dominant nation, if given a chance. It has been isolated for 38 years and is ready to sprint. That’s where Russia and China come in.

Iran-Russia-China Alliance: Labeled as revisionist powers by the Trump administration, Russia and China are working to empower Iran and win the Eurasian game.

For Russia, a friendly Iran means more influence in the Middle East and a secure Russian military base in Syria. Putin has also brought Turkey and Iran together, both of whom are now customers of Russian weapons and missile defense systems.

For China, Iran is a key component of the new Silk Road, as freight trains from China go through Iran to various destinations in the Middle East, Africa and Europe. Iran is also willing to forego the U.S. dollar and accept Chinese Yuan for its oil. China can use this to force Saudi Arabia and other countries to do the same, which will help Yuan (Renminbi) transform into a global reserve currency. This is a nightmare situation for petrodollar, Wall Street, and the US government.

With Iran in its pocket, China’s next goal will be Afghanistan, which is sandwiched between Iran and Pakistan. Pakistan has pretty much left the US orbit now, having embraced China’s CPEC project that promises $60 billion of infrastructure spending. CPEC has been so successful that Afghanistan is holding talks to join that project. Imagine the U.S. losing Afghanistan after wasting $1 trillion there in the last 17 years.

So, this is the worst-case scenario: Russia-China-Iran alliance ends up kicking the US out of all the countries from Turkey to China. According to geopolitical experts, who controls Eurasia, controls the globe.

To understand Iran’s skepticism towards the West, one must look at the last 150 years of Iranian history.

Colonialism: Iran was coveted by the Russians, British and others for a long time. In 1872, Baron Reuter – founder of Reuters news – purchased a vast portion of Iran, only to give it back after a huge outcry! In 1909, the British discovered oil in Iran, kept 90% of the profits, and ruthlessly exploited the Iranian workers, who had to live in slums. Later, in 1951, a popular Iranian Prime Minister nationalized the oil industry.

Outraged(!), British spy agency, MI6, then sought out CIA’s assistance. Together, in 1953, they spent millions bribing the right people to stage a fake revolution and got rid of Mossadegh, the democratically elected PM. In return, U.S. oil corporations got 40% of Iran’s oil. (A declassified CIA document from 1953 has the following title: “Campaign to install pro-western government in Iran.”)

The autocratic Shah of Iran protected the Western oil firms and bought a lot of US weapons. Thus he was loved by the US/European elites who turned a blind eye towards his human rights violations and political oppression. He wasn’t all bad, since he embraced secularism, built successful car manufacturing companies and modernized Iran in many ways.

US Switched to Saudi Arabia & Betrayed Iran: However, during the oil crisis of the 1970s, Kissinger and other globalists found a new partner: Saudi Arabia. The Saudis agreed to sell oil only in US dollar and also recycle much of the oil profits back to the US. Perhaps there was also a discussion of Saudis helping recruit jihadists for anti-USSR wars in Afghanistan. In return for all these, the US agreed to drop Iran as an ally and make Saudis the King of the Middle East.

It’s quite possible that the West deliberately brought in Khomenei to take over Iran. Recent declassified materials show that Jimmy Carter assured Khomenei that Iran’s military won’t interfere. Khomenei also had spent a year in Paris before the Islamic revolution in 1979. Regardless, it gave the U.S. a great excuse to isolate Iran and promote Saudi Arabia. Then, of course, for the next nine years, the U.S. armed Saddam Hussein to wage a war that killed a million Iraqis and Iranians, and destroyed the economies of both countries. Mission accomplished.

Will a Pro-US Iran Bring Peace? It’s hard to imagine a happy ending if the regime change succeeds. Yes, there will be an immediate relief from sanctions, but the economy won’t change substantially in the long run. Western corporations may sign up for a few oil refineries and pipelines, but they won’t make Iran so successful that it competes with US and Saudi firms.

With a pro-US government, Iran’s military and foreign apparatus will be quickly dismantled. Iran will turn into a vassal state like Iraq, accept US military bases, and become subservient to Israel and Saudi Arabia. Lebanon and Syria will be cut off from Iran, making them easy targets for Israel. So, perhaps there will be new wars in the Middle East. A civil war in Iran is also likely if Islamists don’t accept the new government. What happens in Iran in the next few weeks will determine wars and consequential events in the Middle East for the next few years.

Jay Clayton’s SEC Protects Wall Street Racketeering

By Aaron Kesel

Empirical evidence indicates policy changes appear to be crippling watchdog organizations from addressing and arresting those on Wall Street committing fraud.

Many questionable legal provisions are transpiring within the federal system of justice, which victims of white collar crimes are crying foul about making fraud easier to get away with.

White collar offenders aren’t being called criminals, in some ways due to the repeal of Acts such as Glass Steagall.

According to various reports by mainstream media organizations like the Wall Street Journal, Politico and Bloomberg, fines upon Wall Street shenanigans are down this year, considerably; which means Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, two outspoken critics of Wall Street, were correct to be critical of Trump’s nomination of Jay Clayton to head the SEC.

By choosing Jay Clayton to head the Securities and Exchange Commission, Trump has picked a Wall Street lawyer to regulate Wall Street.

— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) March 22, 2017

As a matter of fact, SEC fines are the lowest they have been since 2013, according to Bloomberg.

Such reductions in penalties for misdeeds are even more alarming, considering the fact that entities like Wells Fargo are getting caught doing schemes resulting in the firing of thousands of employees for ripping off millions of customers.

Compounding the dynamics of weakening the laws meant to hold Wall Street in check are the more recent guttings of Dodd Frank Act, and putting Mick Mulvaney in charge of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) who is on the record hating the CFPB.

There is also the fun fact that Congress and Trump have made it harder for victims of misdeeds to sue financial institutions by voting to end arbitration clauses that protect average Americans, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Now there is evidence that Jay Clayton, as Chairman of the SEC, is guilty of covering up Goldman Sachs & Bain Capital misdeeds.

Wall Street victims, like eToys shareholders and eToys court-appointed fiduciary Laser Haas, have complained repeatedly about Goldman Sachs partnership with Bain Capital in racketeering crimes (please see this reporter’s previous articles on Mattel, eToys, Fingerhut and Paul Traub frauds here and here).

Visibly, the SEC is covering up massive crimes by Sachs, Bain Capital and their bad faith lawyers ignoring Haas’s pleas in federal court for justice against bankruptcy rings.

It just so happens, that Jay Clayton was partners with the Sullivan & Cromwell law firm, which the eToys parties are accusing of being duplicitous in the deliberate destruction of the eToys public company, according to The Wall Street Journal. (archived)

Additionally, prior to Jay Clayton’s resume being yanked down all over the Web, Clayton boasted about being invested in Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital.

Furthermore, Jay Clayton and his Sullivan & Cromwell law firm represented Goldman Sachs, which Fortune magazine documents.

On top of all those glaring conflicts of interest issues, Jay Clayton’s wife (Greta Clayton) was a VP at Goldman Sachs, purportedly working the very mergers and acquisitions division the eToys victims claim has defrauded eToys.

Jay Clayton promised his wife Gretchen would resign from Goldman Sachs once he was confirmed as Chairman of the SEC. Yet, to this reporter’s knowledge, that doesn’t appear to be the case looking at her LinkedIn.

Speaking of confirmation, eToys usurped fiduciary, Laser Haas, attempted to block Jay Clayton’s nomination as Commissioner of the SEC because of these glaring conflict of interests issues, according to the lawsuit.

Whistleblower Laser Haas sued Donald Trump, Jeff Sessions, the SEC, the FBI, the United States Trustee program and Assistant United States Attorney, Ellen Slights, for their connections; refusal to prosecute Goldman Sachs, Bain Capital and seditious lawyers who rip off victims in the billions of dollars.

It is so commonly known that Wall Street is actually protected, rather than investigated and prosecuted, by our federal systems of justice, there’s a recent book by ProPublica’s Jesse Eisinger entitled The Chickenshit Club.

Corroborating the fact that Washington, D.C., is hell-bent on protecting Wall Street, on March 22, 2017, the Federal District Court in Washington’s District of Columbia received Laser’s lawsuit seeking a Restraining Order until the Senate was made aware of the Goldman Sachs/Bain Capital enterprising and the plethora of Jay Clayton’s glaring conflicts of interests.

Inexplicably and intolerably, the Federal Clerk of Court, in violation of the law flatly refused to docket Laser’s litigation about Jay Clayton’s SEC nomination until 3 weeks after the Senate confirmed the nomination of Jay Clayton to be the new Chairman of the SEC.

The law states in Rule 79 that a clerk of the court is required to docket a case upon receiving; in this instance they say the case was filed May 9th. But this is contradicted by the court’s docket that notes the papers were received March 22nd. Further, as Laser himself documented, they refused to docket the case until 5/24/17 after the order to dismiss on 5/5/17.

Wash. D.C. court is SO corrupt, it took my filing of 3/22/17 and refused to docket the case until 5/24/17, after ORDER to dismiss 5/5/17 pic.twitter.com/p4FYGhF4LV

It’s not as if Goldman Sachs is least likely to wind up on the SEC’s radar. Truth be told, Goldman Sachs is involved in so many aspects of Wall Street endeavors, from Treasury Bills, Public Offerings and more; which – in a legitimate era of justice – would mandate a task force dedicated to watchdogging just Goldman Sachs alone.

However, from the dynamics of what Fed investigator Carmen Segarra’s reports revealed, America is already well aware of the staunch refusal to investigate (properly) – much less dare to have the guts to prosecute – the likes of Goldman Sachs.

See a few of the cases this reporter has remarked upon (here) on how the federal watchdog agencies have refused to investigate and prosecute many cases.

These include, but are not limited to, many billions of dollars of questionable acts in the cases of  KB Toys, Stage Stores, Fingerhut, TerraStar, the 1.5 million domain names ripped off from Jeff Baron, how Ritchie Capital was fleeced of its $100 million-plus Polaroid deal, RedTag/Ibid, multi-billion-dollar rip off of Mattel, Okun 1031 Tax Group, Playco and eToys cases and many more.

Staunch refusals to prosecute create above-the-law fraudsters such as the recently discussed New York Attorney at Law, Paul Traub (see my previous article “Meet Mitt Romney’s Frank Nitti: Paul Traub”).

With Goldman Sachs/Bain Capital’s “guy” – Jay Clayton – now in charge of the top Wall Street watchdog agency, the SEC, it is far worse than mere issues as willfully blind prosecutors, as noted in Eisinger’s recent book The Chickenshit Club!

It appears it has long been open season for Wall Street to hunt for victims; and under Jay Clayton’s friendship with Wall Street, it’s going to get much worse.

Knowing they are free to rob without remorse or relent, they simply steal faster, bigger and from as many as they can.

Including the open season that expanded after the untimely demises of victims Marty Lackner, Anna Schaeffer, Jack Wheeler and eToys shareholder Robert Alber.

Alber was warned that “people like you who turns down a bribe – usually wakes up dead.”

Subsequently, after eToys shareholder Robert Alber was forced to shoot and kill would-be assassin Michael Sesseyoff in self-defense, Alber “woke up dead” like he was previously threatened.

Just days after Alber died, the Delaware Assistant United States Attorney Ellen Slights had the FBI contact Laser Haas and threaten Laser with federal prosecution – unless Haas immediately redacted certain names.

Who’s next? Will it be this last remaining whistleblower who dares to ignore threats of federal prosecution and those against his life seeking justice? Or will people finally wake up and understand what is going on as has been documented over and over again throughout this series?

If our tax-paid public servants have escalated their willful blindness to the point of being outright tools for Wall Street racketeering – then it is completely open season upon the American citizenry and as a result the economy.

U.S. President Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp” and criticized his opponent Hillary Clinton’s cozy relationship with Goldman Sachs. But he broke that promise, along with many others, putting Sachs executives all throughout his cabinet including National Security Adviser Dina Powell, Top Economic Advisor Gary Cohn, and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, The Intercept reported.

All of which is compounded by the appointment of the much-conflicted Jay Clayton who has brought in two of his former colleagues at Goldman Sachs and his law firm Sullivan & Cromwell – Steven Peikin and Sean Memon – to help deregulate Wall Street.

This impotency of Jay Clayton concerning Goldman Sachs, and his participating in the deregulating of Wall Street, enables Goldman Sachs to continue its victimizing and also Sachs lawyers open season of perpetrating frauds on the courts.
