Privatization of the Roads, Oceans, and Outer Space - Dr. Walter Block at Liberty on the Rocks - Sedona

Dr. Walter Block, the guy who WROTE THE BOOK on privatizing roads and highways, explains who would build the roads at The Voluntaryism Conference in Sedona

In this, the 7th episode from Liberty on the Rocks - Sedona - The Voluntaryism Conference, renowned economist Dr. Walter Block delves into a classic libertarian question: “Without government, who will build the roads?” The transcript below is illustrated with memes and visualizations from Etienne de la Boetie 2’s upcoming book: Voluntaryism - How the Only “ISM” Fair for Everyone Leads to Harmony, Prosperity and Good Karma for All! Drawing on Dr. Block’s extensive research and insights from his book The Privatization of Roads and Highways, Dr. Block makes a compelling case for privatizing road infrastructure. He argues that private ownership can enhance safety, reduce traffic fatalities, and improve efficiency through competition and innovation. Highlighting both ethical and economic advantages, Block explains how privatization could alleviate traffic congestion and significantly lower the staggering 40,000 annual road fatalities in the U.S., which he attributes to government mismanagement. He also addresses common concerns, such as the risks of monopolies, accessibility issues, and national defense implications, offering creative, market-driven solutions for these challenges. With wit and thoughtful analysis, Dr. Block dismantles the assumption that only government can handle critical infrastructure, demonstrating how privatized roads could deliver a safer and more efficient alternative.’

American Pravda: China vs. America • 1h54m ▶

A Comprehensive Review of the Economic, Technological, and Military Factors

by Ron Unz

The New American Cold War Against China

Over the last year I gradually became familiar with Chas Freeman, one of America’s most distinguished professional diplomats and a longtime expert on China. Despite his illustrious career, he had rarely appeared anywhere in our mainstream media, but once I discovered his interviews on several YouTube channels, I was extremely impressed by the depth of his knowledge and analysis, so I published an article presenting his views.

Yes, when Hamas attacked Israel brutally on October 7, 2023, at least two tiny children (and possibly more) died. In response, in the year and a quarter since then, the Israelis have slaughtered untold numbers of children in Gaza. And now, in a winter in which food and sometimes water are desperately lacking, news reports indicate that children there are dying in unknown but clearly staggering numbers. With so many of their parents having been driven from their homes by Israeli bombings and living in tents during the Gazan winter, some are even freezing to death. Talk about an all-too-literal hell on earth, even if, at the moment, the temperatures are now running in the opposite direction!

The first thing to always remember when living inside our modern world is........remain calm. Don't get too worked up over anything because that's actually the goal of this group's overarching agenda

by jchristoff

The first thing to always remember when living inside our modern world is........remain calm. Don't get too worked up over anything because that's actually the goal of this group's overarching agenda. Once you get worked up emotionally, there are brain changes that take place, which PRIME you in a very particular (yet negative) way. Psychological priming means that our environment is being purposely designed to manufacture those negative brain changes…

MAHAHAHA! RFK Jr Pulls the Ol' Switcheroo

Mr "I'm Pro-Vaccine" suffers crippling memory loss when it comes to post-vaxxx excess mortality.

by Anthony Colpo

He did and said all the right things.

He criticized vaccines, even telling an interviewer in July 2023, “There's no vaccine that is, you know, safe and effective.”

He wrote a book describing what a turd Anthony Fauci was.

He ran an organization called the Children’s Health Defense Fund.

The mainstream media called him a “conspiracy theorist,” which is code for “person who says things that freak out the sheep and anger the authorities, but are later found to be true.”…
