Agorism is Not Anarcho-Capitalism

Derrick Broze Agorism is Not Anarcho-Capitalism September 13, 2016

by Derrick Broze

The goal of this essay is three-fold. First, I will identify the key concepts which outline the philosophy of Agorism and the strategy of Counter-Economics, as outlined by Samuel E. Konkin III in The New Libertarian Manifesto and An Agorist Primer. Second, I will illustrate how radicals of all stripes can utilize the strategy of counter-economics, as described by Konkin, without necessarily endorsing his philosophy of Agorism and it’s specific tenets. Finally, I will describe what sets Agorism apart from Anarcho-Capitalism and other schools of thought. I will show that although the Counter-Economic strategy can be utilized by nearly any individual, Agorism itself is not simply a strain or subset of Anarcho-Capitalism, but a unique political philosophy of its own…

Unlocking The Color Spectrum: A Deep Dive into the Science of Color Perception

A Deeper Look Into How Our Eyes Perceive Colors

by Tim Truth

The visible light spectrum encompasses wavelengths from approximately 380nm to 780nm, with each specific wavelength corresponding to a distinct color. These spectral colors, often depicted in series as the rainbow, are fundamental to understanding how we perceive color. Interestingly, by mixing these spectral colors, we can create entirely new colors like brown, pink, gray, magenta, and white (just to name a few).

Our modern displays, such as computer and phone screens, utilize the RGB (red, green, blue) color model to mimic these spectral colors. Each pixel on these screens combines varying intensities of red, green, and blue light to produce the wide range of colors we see. This method, known as additive color mixing, is essential in devices that emit light, including screens, lights, and projectors. We’ll discuss the biological basis for why these colors are chosen.

Here is the visible light spectrum. These are the spectral colors for each of the whole numbers in the visible light spectrum between 380nm and 780nm…

Vaxxed ‘Super Size Me’ Star Morgan Spurlock Dead of Cancer at 53

Spurlock’s brother, Craig, broke the news to Variety on Friday, saying, “It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan.”

by InfoWars

Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, known for his groundbreaking exposé “Super Size Me” that chronicled the effects of consuming only McDonald’s for a month, died this week from terminal cancer at the age of 53. He reportedly received multiple COVID vaccines and published a post that he got the COVID shot in January 2021 and wrote “And so should you”. In March 2021, he again advocated for people to get the COVID jab.

Bill Gates Investing Heavily in mRNA Technology — Are Taxpayers Helping Him?

Bill Gates has a long history of investing in mRNA technology and firms active in this sphere. But would these investments have been possible without U.S. government — or taxpayer — support of mRNA research?

According to Sasha Latypova, a former pharmaceutical industry executive with 25 years of experience in pharmaceutical research and development, Gates’ investments in the mRNA field — and the profits he has reaped — were made possible by U.S. government and military funding of bioweapons research

What Is in the Federal Reserve’s Doomsday Book?

The Doomsday Book is a collection of documents and memoranda compiled by the legal department of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY).

What Is in the Federal Reserve's Doomsday Book?: The Independent Review:  The Independent Institute

by Emre Kuvvet

The Doomsday Book is a collection of documents and memoranda compiled by the legal department of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY). The book focuses on financial crises that have prompted an operational response such as emergency loans and payments. The book includes background material that is useful in responding to a financial crisis and can help central bankers plan for emergencies. Further, it is meant to save time during the crisis.

Contents of the Doomsday Book have not been available to the public. However, I obtained access to the book through the FRBNY’s freedom of information policy. This paper discloses the book’s contents, showing that there has been a long and continuous disagreement between the FRBNY’s legal department and the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System with respect to the interpretation of the Fed’s incidental powers…

The Complete Collapse of fertility in the United States

These statistics and others from provisional 2023 birth data were released by CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

by Cwr

The general fertility rate in the United States decreased by 3% from 2022, reaching a historic low. This marks the second consecutive year of decline, following a brief 1% increase from 2020 to 2021. From 2014 to 2020, the rate consistently decreased by 2% annually.

These statistics and others from provisional 2023 birth data were released by CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

The new report, “Births: Provisional Data for 2023,” analyzes data from more than 99% of birth certificates issued during that year. The report shows a 2% decline from 2022, with 3,591,328 births recorded in 2023…

FinalSpark claims its Neuroplatform is the world’s first online platform delivering access to biological neurons in vitro. Moreover, bioprocessors like this “consume a million times less power than traditional digital processors,” the company says…

Shockingly low number of F-35s are 'fully operational'

U.S. warplane promoted as game changer too often sits 'idle'

By Jared Conaboy

What is good for defense contractors is not necessarily good for the military, nor the taxpayer, they are supposed to serve. Consider the F-35 program, which was supposed to deliver a jet that would make all other military jets obsolete. It has yet to do so, and the failures of the program sustainability speak to the idea that we need diversity in our procurement.

For one thing, too many F-35 sit idle. At a recent congressional hearing, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall claimed that “55% is the number we have for operational availability” of F-35s. That percentage sounds low; imagine if your car would get you to work only 55% of the time. You would be looking for another option…

Another Study Finds Association Between Water Fluoridation & Brain Health

A newly published study is the latest to find an association between pregnant mothers consuming fluoridated water and an increased risk for neurobehavioral problems among their children.

By Derrick Broze

Exposing pregnant mothers to fluoridated water may increase the risk of neurobehavioral problems in their children, according to a new study published in the JAMA Network Open medical journal. The study, Maternal Urinary Fluoride and Child Neurobehavior at Age 36 Months, has been making waves across the internet since it was published on Monday.

The researchers studied the maternal urinary fluoride (MUF) levels of 229 Hispanic pregnant women living in Los Angeles, California. They looked for associations between third trimester MUF and the children’s neurobehavior at 3 years of age. They found that “prenatal fluoride exposure may increase risk of neurobehavioral problems among children”…
