The Liberty Mic

078: 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.

077: Resist We Much

Sorry for the unplanned break, everyone; but we're back, baby!  Two main topics for this episode:  The economics of the Gamestop stock saga, crypto currency and the Federal Reserve and Marjorie Taylor Greene, domestic violent extremists and the persecution of the American right and radical left (or anyone outside of the mainstream).

076: Death of the American Dream

Post-partum depression sets in after the birth of this New Era.  We discuss the souring of the economy, environmental threats and the pervasive sickness.

075: Come On, Man

After Biden's calls for unity to an empty Wall... er, Mall, Biden went to the White House to revoke everything from the previous administration.  We review those orders, discuss the broadening of meaning for words, like "terrorist" and "incitement."  We close with an odd story of mariner hate speech.

074: Cleaning Up

We finally do our 2020 wrap after discussing the Governator, social media bans and more impeachment.  We also offer our thoughts on how the Libertarian Party could draw from the Trump movement.

073: Outside the Velvet Rope

Without someone to keep him out of trouble, Michael sets himself up as an enemy of the state in this episode.  First, he discusses the Assange extradition.  Then, he closes with talks about the capital protests, perhaps not condemning them in the way you might expect.

072: Pardon Me

After an unfortunate break, Michael returns with guest co-host G.I. Greg to discuss Biden's foreign policy team, Trump's pardons (and lack of) and the prospects of secession for dissatisfied states.

071: No New Normal

Michael is on his own this time and starts with a couple of comparative examples illustrating the idea that governments' primary job is to protect themselves.  There is discussion of France's global security bill and compulsory vaccination, as well as what you're consenting to with a Health Pass.  There's also an anecdote about what the pandemic panic is doing to people.

070: 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.

069: Porting Authority

The post-election but pre-resolution special with your hosts discussing prospects for armed revolution and the difference between power and authority.  But wait!  There's less.  Has the meaning of protection from government changed?  Why are there social justice libertarians, and who has infiltrated The Intercept?
