“Government” — The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! is releasing its 5.5 Edition alongside a companion investigative report that finally puts a dollar figure on the scam: $3.5 million stolen from YOU
By Etienne de la Boetie² | Art of Liberty Foundation | March 2026
There is a book that has been quietly doing something unusual in the liberty movement.
It has sold over 8,000 hard copies to readers in 25+ countries.
More than 40,000 ePubs and digital copies have been downloaded.
It has been the best-selling book at over two dozen liberty-oriented conferences and events — outselling titles by authors with far larger platforms.
But here’s the number that tells you what this book actually does to people’s minds: over 10% of all copies are sold as 5-packs and 10-packs — what we call “Friends Bundles.” People don’t just read this book. They buy it in bulk and hand it to the people they love. Donate them to libraries… Put them in mini-libraries in neighborhoods… Make them coffee table books in AirBNBs…

The Hormuz Humiliation: Iran’s Mine Warfare vs Washington’s ‘NO PLAN’ Disaster
“We have lost control of the seas to a nation without a navy, using pre-World War I weapons, laid by vessels that were utilized at the time of the birth of Christ.”
by 21st Century WireFreddie Ponton
“We have lost control of the seas to a nation without a navy, using pre-World War I weapons, laid by vessels that were utilized at the time of the birth of Christ.”
Rear Admiral Allan E. Smith, who wrote these words, learned this the hard way at Wonsan Harbour in 1950, when he realised the US Navy could lose control of the seas not to enemy fleets, but to thousands of cheap mines scattered from wooden fishing boats. Seventy-six years later, the same trap is snapping shut in the Strait of Hormuz…
Decentralizing Defense: A $96 Guided Rocket Just Put Precision Warfare into the Hands of the People
As the State moves to criminalize digital files and mandate backdoors in 3D printers, an open-source breakthrough is proving that the era of government air superiority is over
by Matt Agorist
In a world where the State spends trillions of dollars on bloated defense contracts to build “smart” weapons that often end up incinerating wedding parties or schools in the Middle East, a single individual with a 3D printer and $96 just shattered the monopoly on high-tech violence. A video, along with the plans, has recently surfaced showcasing “Project Canard,” an open-source, 3D-printed guided rocket system that recalculates its trajectory mid-air using a $5 sensor and some piano wire. The creator, operating under the GitHub handle novatic14, has essentially handed the keys to advanced surface-to-air defense to anyone with an internet connection and a spool of plastic filament…

Greg Reese: An End of Empire (5 Minute Video)
Trump is Free.. NOTHING Can Tarnish His Image/Legacy Any Worse Than He Has Already Ruined It
by Greg Reese
Despite having the world’s most powerful navy, the United States cannot force the Strait of Hormuz open, which every US military expert knew would be closed if Iran was attacked. This is why the US Navy is miles away. And it is why America’s NATO Allies are refusing to participate…
