NO TREASON
Some things can transcend time and relate to our very present moment. No Treason, by Lysander Spooner, is an essay that was written in 1867 which has transcended the generations with a message: the government and the constitution is invalid.
Because Lysander wrote this piece with the lawyer mindstate and was so much closer to the time of the constitution being written, he had a more clear view of what the American government was becoming and was very outspoken about his observations.
You can read the piece here: https://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/spooner-no-treason-no-vi-the-constitution-of-no-authority-1870
It is actually a fairly easy read as he wrote it for the laymen of his time. Enjoy!

What is Agorism? Part One Of Two
In a world full of contradictions and violence, it can be hard to find a path that doesn't include being involved on the "left" or the "right" side.

Antifa Part Two: The Modern American Twist
In this episode, we cover the second half of what Antifa has become in America, which is quite far removed from its European roots. If you missed the first part, we recommend you listen to it as we go over the history of Antifa which sets up the stage for this episode.
Antifa has become radicalized in America and has deep seated roots in Communism. American Antifa was formed by a group called the American League Against War and Fascism which was formed in the 1930s. This group openly admitted in 1950 to using Antifascism as a cover to take down American government and replace with communism.
To this day, we see modern Antifa using tactics against a Fascist regime that simply doesn't exist (no, we officially do not have a Fascist regime in this country).
We go over the differences between rasicm and fascism, the strategies used by modern day Antifa to justify their violence, and the hypocrasies within those actions.

With the pandemic afoot, many parents (to the tune of 50%!) are not planning to send their children back to school this fall and are looking for homeschooling and alternative schooling options in replacement of the public school system.
This brings about an opportunistic time for educators, parents, and entreprenuers to support the divergence away from prison school systems and bring about a whole new world of independent education.
