The Free State Project Got It Backwards

Exit & Build - What the FSP did right and what it did wrong

by The Liberty Lookout

In 2001, a Yale grad student named Jason Sorens published an essay with a bold premise: libertarians were too spread out to win anything. His solution? Get 20,000 of them to move to one small state, take over the legislature, and shrink the government from the inside…


The Stealing of America: You’re Not a Citizen—You’re a Revenue Stream for the Power Elite

There is no art which one government sooner learns of another than that of draining money from the pockets of the people.

You’re not imagining it.

Everything costs more. Everything is monitored.


War On Iran: It Is Cheaper To Pay For Hormuz Passage Than To Wage War

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly ready to give up on the Persian Gulf passage:

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly ready to give up on the Persian Gulf passage:

Trump Tells Aides He’s Willing to End War Without Reopening Hormuz (archived) – WSJ

In recent days, Trump and his aides assessed that a mission to pry open the chokepoint would push the conflict beyond his timeline of four to six weeks. He decided that the U.S. should achieve its main goals of hobbling Iran’s navy and its missile stocks and wind down current hostilities while pressuring Tehran diplomatically to resume the free flow of trade. If that fails, Washington would press allies in Europe and the Gulf to take the lead on reopening the strait, the officials said.

There are also military options the president could decide on, but they are not his immediate priority, they said.


Roundup (glyphosate) in US vs Europe: Americans are being poisoned

Years ago I started investigating the differences between food products sold in America versus Europe, and what I found really opened my eyes to how much Americans are being poisoned.

Years ago I started investigating the differences between food products sold in America versus Europe, and what I found really opened my eyes to how much Americans are being poisoned.

Food companies have reformulated their products for our friends overseas to sell them safer versions of the same products, while they continue selling Americans the more toxic versions. They are literally poisoning us for profit.

The more I dug into this, the more I realized this wasn’t just happening with the processed ingredients put in our food. It runs the gamut between pesticides sprayed on our crops, chemicals in our plastics, the drugs and feed given to farm animals, and even the substances in our cookware and food packaging.

We have pesticides linked to cancer that are banned across Europe still being sprayed freely on American crops, growth hormones in our meat that have been banned in Europe since the 80’s, PFAS “forever chemicals” in our food packaging that Europe has moved to eliminate, and artificial dyes that require warning labels in Europe but not here. The double standard is everywhere.


Your WiFi Can See You. Here’s How.

Your WiFi is constantly painting a spatial picture of your home, and until recently, nobody was reading it.

By Donna Hancock

Your WiFi is constantly painting a spatial picture of your home, and until recently, nobody was reading it. It turns out the same radio waves carrying your Netflix stream also encode the shape, movement, and identity of every person in the room.

Xfinity already shipped this as a feature. Carnegie Mellon proved you can reconstruct full body poses through walls using nothing but WiFi. A 2025 paper showed you can re-identify specific individuals from their biometric signature in the signal. And the gap between “detect motion” and “identify the person” is a software update on hardware you already own.

This video traces that same physics from your living room to a $1B startup called ZaiNar that spent 9 years in stealth synchronizing WiFi and 5G signals for sub-meter indoor positioning, to Anduril’s $60B electromagnetic warfare platform, to HawkEye 360’s satellite constellation that geolocates every RF emitter on the planet.

Radio waves were never just dumb pipes. They’re a sensing modality, and they’re about to reshape physical AI, robotics, and home automation in ways most people haven’t even considered yet.
