Why We Need Voluntaryist Voices to Break Us Free from the Rigged Games of "Government" and "Elections"

Dear Subscribers,
Our lead story and videos this week are examples of why the Art of Liberty Foundation is so needed and why we are so unique. I have been wanting to write about the incremental tyranny that is being rapidly instituted in the US, but have been bogged down with customer service issues from “The Corbett Bump” that generated hundreds and hundreds of orders from 20+ countries. We were in the process of moving to a new Internet store at ArtOfLiberty.org/store from our existing store at Government-Scam.com/store when the bump hit, and the new store wasn’t ready for prime time. I estimate that we lost thousands of dollars due to excessively high shipping costs, particularly internationally, which led to customers abandoning their carts. We have a small crew, and I have had to step in to manage numerous customer service issues…
Peter Thiel Is Revealed As The Master Architect Of The Technocratic Takeover Of Washington, D.C.

AI is good at math and logic. My query below produced nineteen references to nail Peter Thiel as the master architect of the takedown of our political and economic system, preferring instead to flip us into Technocracy. How did Thiel pull this off despite never holding a position with the Administration? By employing a long-term strategic campaign, from grooming Curtis Yarvin (Mr Dark Enlightenment) to J.D. Vance (the mole) to staffing DOGE with trusted allies, to jockeying Palantir to suck out billions of taxpayer money.
Just how much has DOGE exaggerated its numbers? Now we have receipts.
A POLITICO analysis of DOGE data reveals the organization saved less than 5 percent of its claimed savings from nearly 10,100 contract terminations.

By Jessie Blaeser
The Trump administration’s claim that it is saving billions of dollars through DOGE-related cuts to federal contracts is drastically exaggerated, according to a new POLITICO analysis of public data and federal spending records.
Through July, DOGE said it has saved taxpayers $52.8 billion by canceling contracts, but of the $32.7 billion in actual claimed contract savings that POLITICO could verify, DOGE’s savings over that period were closer to $1.4 billion…
CDC Hit With Lawsuit Over Failure to Test Cumulative Effect of 72-Dose Childhood Vaccine Schedule

by Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D. The Defender
Two doctors who lost their medical licenses because they questioned the CDC’s vaccine recommendations for children are suing the agency for failing to test the cumulative effect of the 72-dose schedule on children’s health.
Drs. Paul Thomas and Kenneth P. Stoller and Stand for Health Freedom filed the lawsuit last week in federal court, alleging the lack of safety testing violates federal law and children’s constitutional rights…
Stop using the words "anarchy" & "capitalism"
Cut your losses from terms with loaded meaning

by Sotiris Rex
The words “anarchy” and “capitalism” don’t mean anything anymore. We can appeal to their etymology or definition all we want, but the fact remains that they mean vastly different things to so many different people. This makes it impossible to communicate what you truly want to communicate whenever you use them…
