Folk Singer Brendan Daniel Drops New Song: To See the Cage is to Leave It

New Song Based on Etienne’s Book: To See the Cage is to Leave It - 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many

Folk singer Brendan Daniel picks up where Oliver Anthony left off, exposing the big secret of the “Rich Men North of Richmond“: that “government” is a technique of inter-generational organized crime to rob and control populations.

Brendan’s new song, To See the Cage is to Leave It, was inspired by the book: To See the Cage is to Leave It - 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many by Etienne de la Boetie2, founder of the Art of Liberty Foundation.

The book has been an underground sensation selling copies to 20+ countries where over 10% of the sales have been bulk copies “Friends Bundles” that people are buying for friends, family and colleagues. One Art of Liberty Foundation supporter is distributing 258 copies in North Carolina starting with 41 copies to the local sheriff’s department. The book was just translated into both Latin American Spanish and the Castilian Spanish of Spain with other translations in German, French and Greek on the way!

The Public School Shell Game Makes Phantom Daycares Look Tiny

Adults siphon off taxpayer money earmarked for kids, and no one is held accountable. Teachers’ unions share the same dysfunctional incentives as headline-grabbing fraudsters in Minnesota.

by Corey A. DeAngelis

In a stunning development, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz dropped out of the 2026 gubernatorial race after his state was exposed for massive fraud in taxpayer-funded childcare programs. The Trump administration has halted federal childcare funding nationwide while it investigates the scope of fraud.

Independent journalists like Nick Shirley have been exposing what looks like a massive scam in taxpayer-funded childcare programs. Shirley and his team visited addresses listed as childcare centers in Minnesota — places supposedly serving vulnerable kids — and found empty lots, abandoned buildings, or no sign of any children being cared for…

Iran Calls Trump’s Bluff as Deep State Rebels Over War

While the Iranian saga has kept the world on its toes, it has now turned from travesty-in-making to total farce.

by Simplicius

While the Iranian saga has kept the world on its toes, it has now turned from travesty-in-making to total farce. The USS Gerald R. Ford—the most expensive and ‘advanced’ aircraft carrier in history—has become “mired” in quite a stink—pun intended—as it was revealed that demoralized sailors are potentially sabotaging the ship by flushing items like clothing and mop heads into the ship’s sewage systems, causing widespread septic blockages—a kind of “color revolution of the seas” (color mutiny?), with the color being brown…

The 5th Annual Freedom Under Natural Law Conference – Full Conference Archive

Did you miss FUNL 5 last weekend? Here is the full conference archive and schedule

The Freedom Under Natural Law conference brings together some of the best voices around Natural Law. Natural Law is, essentially, a codification of the Golden Rule to do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
