We have moved the Five Meme Friday off Substack (which was censoring us, Details: HERE) to our own censorship-resistant publishing platform. Please help us fight censorship at the spam filter by whitelisting: fmf@fivememefri.org
Dear Subscribers,
My apologies again for being so late in getting last week's Five Meme Friday published. I have been in Thailand at Bikram Yoga Teacher Training and have been trying to balance the training with running the Art of Liberty Foundation.
It has become impossible... One of the instructors here taught me a new analogy: If you have a foot in two boats, eventually you are going to drown. That is how I have been feeling. So I am dropping out of training so I can devote myself again to the Art of Liberty Foundation. We have a major fundraising and sponsorship campaign that was supposed to launch this week, another major book launch, and other projects that need my undivided attention. My apologies for being so behind on everything!
I have an IMPORTANT New Book "on-deck" - Organized Crime Theory (OCT) – The Surprisingly Scholarly and Well-Evidenced Thesis that "Government" is Organized Crime.
What started out as a chapter in our upcoming book, Voluntaryism – How the Only "ISM" Fair for Everyone Leads to Harmony, Prosperity and Good Karma for All, turned into a book-length treatment. Unlike "Government" – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!, which made the case BUT did so with speculation in a format that was easy to dismiss, Organized Crime Theory (OCT) makes the case in a scholarly way designed to give any college political science professor or high school civics teacher promoting "government" an intellectual curb-stomping!
We could use some help getting the book out, and I am happy to share a preview copy with any heavy hitters that could help us with the initial print run and marketing campaign. E-mail me at Etienne (at) ArtOfLiberty.org if you are interested.
You can see a really cool summary of the book at ArtOfLiberty.org/OCT, and I'll also send a preview copy to anyone who joins as a Sponsor ($125), Sustaining Member ($500), Patron ($1000), Benefactor ($5000) or President's Club ($25,000) in addition to the other amazing perks we have to say THANK YOU!

Dear Readers, in this post I am going to discuss the new developments at HHS. First, you may have seen this press release from HHS, published yesterday. HHS Launches Agency-Wide Actions to Strengthen Vaccine Injury Research, Reporting, and Patient Care. OK, sounds wonderful, like “we are winning, at last!”
Some of this is, indeed, good news, because even the fact that there is an official program of some sort with words “vaccine” and “injury” in the same sentence is good news. For one, it’s going to help cases filed against forced mandates, such as the work of Free Now Foundation which I urge you to support. Having said this, let’s look critically into what is really being done and not done by Bobby’s HHS.

‘Honey Please’: Kimberly Guilfoyle Pushed Donor to Wire $100,000 to Her Amex Account
By Dana Mattioli, Drew Hinshaw, Rebecca Ballhaus y Joe Parkinson, The Wall Street Journal
Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owedAmerican Express—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail.
“It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Please.”
Report: U.S. Taxpayers Currently Lose Up to $500B Annually to Fraud
By Bryan Hyde, American Greatness
Etienne Note: We break down the cost of the admitted fraud in our calculations from The Greatest Theft in Human History – How the Banks and “Government” Will Steal at Least $1.40 MILLION from the Typical Worker… “Legally.” Even if you think “government” is legitimate, desirable and necessary (we don’t!) you have to admit it is stealing and wasting TRILLIONS of dollars and impacting the economy negatively that reduces everyone’s income. I am including a visualization from the book to illustrate this dyanmic.
A new report published by the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) shows federal taxpayers are losing up to $521 billion annually to fraud and improper payments.
According to Just the News, the report estimates that improper payments by the federal government have totaled about $3 trillion since 2003.

Ex-CIA official found with gold bars admits to sprawling scheme, agrees to forfeit $194 million
Etienne Note: Part of The Greatest Theft in Human History is the confiscatory taxation that is being stolen and then squandered in waste, fraud and abuse by the unethical people who work in the “government.” The fact they are willing to live on money stolen from others at the point of a gun is the first sign that they can’t be trusted!
By Stefan Becket, Caitlin Yilek, CBS News
Washington — A former CIA official who was found with $40 million in gold bars in his home in May pleaded guilty on Tuesday, admitting he invented fake classified programs to divert nearly $200 million in government money that he used to buy Florida mansions and gold.

Oregon Police Are Charging a Local News Outlet $2.5M for Records About One Cop A
By Lauren Harper, The Intercept
Eugene-based publication requested records about a cop accused of misconduct. The city slapped it with a prohibitive fee.
How much does it cost to get more information about a cop who punched someone in the face? If you guessed anything lower than $2.5 million, you’d be wrong — at least according to the city of Eugene, Oregon.
In August, the local news outlet Double Sided Media filed a public records request for records about police officer Justin Peckels, which focused on potential misconduct between 2018 and 2026.

Susan Collins’s Committee Bought Trucks the Army Didn’t Want. Then Campaign Donations Poured In.
Appropriations committee members saw an influx of campaign contributions after steering $345 million to a military contractor.
By Matt Sledge and Jorge Medellín, The Intercept
The U.S. Army announced last year that it had enough of a specific model of armored vehicle and that any more deliveries would be “excess.” But even so, Congress found a way to keep funding alive for the vehicle — and executives at the company that produces the vehicle found a way to flood key members of Congress with campaign donations.
In the weeks after this year’s appropriations bill passed, employees of AM General or its parent company donated tens of thousands to key appropriations committee members in both chambers, Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Calif.

Lutnick lived next door to Epstein in adjacent townhouses, previously lied about the relationship, and missed going to his office at the WTC on 9/11/01. Good neighbors?
By Meryl Nass, CHAOS letter
Epstein lived at #9 East 71st St. and Lutnick lives at #11 East 71st St, adjacent to Central Park. Their building touch each other. Les Wexner bought the building for Epstein in 1995, which was later transferred from Wexner to an Epstein trust. Wexner/Epstein also owned #11, which was sold to Lutnick in 1998 through a complex series of manuevers, making it unclear who exactly he bought it from.

Advanced Stats and $500 Bats: Why Baseball for 6-Year-Olds Is Breaking the Bank
Travel teams, high-end gear and specialized training are turning America’s pastime into a sport for rich kids
Etienne Note: One reason families can’t afford baseball for their kids is that banks and the “government” steal $1.40 MILLION from the average worker over a 40-year career and a 20-year retirement. Eliminate that theft, and everyone can afford baseball for their kids again.

The shortstop weighed 44 pounds.At a club baseball tournament east of Los Angeles this summer, the 6-year-olds on teams from as far away as Arizona were too young to pitch the ball themselves, but their parents were spending thousands on baseball.There were club dues, tournament fees, hotels, transportation, uniforms and equipment.

Ukraine’s surprise robot offensive exposes a vulnerability in Putin’s war machine
By Sam Meredith, CNBC
A surprise Ukrainian robot offensive in the eastern Donbas region appears to have reversed over a year of Russian territorial gains, according to security experts, dealing a strategic blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s territorial ambitions. Details of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, dubbed “Operation Vivaldi,” have started to come to light in recent weeks, offering rare insight into the fast-changing nature of frontline combat operations amid Russia’s full-scale invasion.
