Etienne on The Corbett Report - #SolutionsWatch - How to Deal with “Authorities”
When DO you call the cops and when (and HOW!) can you deal with situations without them.

When DO you call the cops and when (and HOW!) can you deal with situations without them. A listener wrote in to The Corbett Report to ask when, if and how voluntaryists and the liberty minded should engage with representatives of the state. James recruits some voluntaryists and special guests to respond. The panels includes: James Corbett of corbettreport.com, Ryan Cristian of TheLastAmericanVagabond.com, Derrick Broze of TheConsciousResistance.com Steve Poikonen of AM Wakeup, Hakeem Anwar of AbovePhone.com, Kit Knightly of Off-Guardian.org, Ernest Hancock of FreedomsPhoenix.com, Etienne de La Boetie2 of TheArtOfLiberty.org, Larken Rose of TheRoseChannel.com
For a Reminder of WHY you almost NEVER want to Call the Cops, here is some Truth Music from our uncensorable flash drive of Freedom: The Liberator

The THICKREDLINE Project is an effort to restore respect for law enforcement by abolishing victimless crime. Victimless crimes are not really crimes… and make the cops the criminals. A real crime, by definition, has a perpetrator and a victim: murder, assault, rape, theft, and extortion are all obvious crimes because there is a victim. Politicians and bureaucrats frequently institute illogical, immoral and counter-productive “laws” (politician scribbles) that penalize peaceful, non-violent people for “crimes” that have no victim. Drug possession, gambling, and making arrests for ignoring Covid-19 lockdown and social distancing orders are examples of victimless crimes where politicians attempt to get the police to use violence immorally and preemptively on overwhelmingly peaceful people frequently to raise revenue or enforce their version of morality on a population. When the police use violence and coercion against peaceful people for victimless crimes (there is simply no way to sugar-coat this) it makes the cops the criminals who are engaged in kidnapping and extortion under the color of law. The THICKREDLINE Project is organizing the police to say: NO! to the organized crime “government” on lockdowns, mask mandates and other victimless crimes…
The truth about State Farm
“So forget what we told you. It ain’t worth squat.”

by Judd Legum and Rebecca Crosby
In an ad campaign that has blanketed the airwaves this year, State Farm compares itself to a sleazy fictional competitor, Halfway There Insurance. The commercial features two popular comedic actors, Danny McBride and Keegan Michael Key, riffing to the Bon Jovi classic, Livin’ on a Prayer.
“There’s damage to your home on this block,” McBride and Key croon. “We won’t make things right, cuz filing a claim is tough.” The comedy duo stresses that, unlike State Farm, their pretend company will not live up to its promises and does not care about customer satisfaction. “So forget what we told you. It ain’t worth squat. It doesn’t make a difference if you’re happy or not,” they sing.
A website created by State Farm, HalfwayThereInsurance.com, jokes that Halfway There Insurance will just claim that home damage is not their responsibility. For “actual home protection,” the website advises, “we’d say go with State Farm.”
No expense is spared on the campaign, which debuted during the Super Bowl. The ad concludes when Jon Bon Jovi himself, riding in a red convertible with State Farm pitchman “Jake,” offers a disgruntled Halfway There customer, played by actress Hailee Steinfeld, a lift. “Stop living on a prayer and get State Farm,” Jake says…
The greatest theft in history (part 2)
And some HOPE if you’d like to be a part of the solution.

by Darby Jones
In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, it took Deep Thought 7.5 million years to calculate the answer to life, the universe, and everything. I discovered the answer this year at the age of 42.* That asterisk is crucial. It’s actually the answer, but it means nothing if you don’t ask the right question.
Nothing will stop the mega-rich from controlling their political puppets and distracting us from looking up. Look around. Neighbors fighting over jobs, healthcare, housing — your brother-in-law skipped Thanksgiving … again. Half your Facebook feed has written off the other half as deplorable monsters.
The world’s a mess, but the reason your dollar can’t buy a nickel has nothing to do with the Left or Right. Follow the money. Look up at the power keeping us down…
Plastic Is Building Up In Human Brains, And Junk Food May Be Making It Worse
Human brain tissue has been found to contain far more microplastics than other organs, with the highest levels in people diagnosed with dementia.

By StudyFinds Analysis - Reviewed by John Anderer - Research led by Dr. Julio Licinio (Genomic Press)
Human brain tissue has been found to contain far more microplastics than other organs, with the highest levels in people diagnosed with dementia.
Ultra-processed foods, which make up more than half of calories consumed in the United States, are a major delivery vehicle for these plastic particles.
A blood-filtering medical procedure shows early promise as a way to remove microplastics from the body, but scientists say more measurement tools are needed before it can be confirmed to work.
A plastic spoon’s worth of tiny fragments, quietly accumulating inside the human brain. That image is no longer science fiction, it’s where a new scientific perspective begins, and it argues that the growing buildup of plastics in the human body is one of the most pressing brain health questions of the moment…
