A Great Talk with James Valliant Concerning the Recently Discovered Letters Wherein Murray Rothbard Discussed Ayn RandIn this episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz sits down with James Valliant, author of The Passion of Ayn Rand's Critics and co-author of Creating Christ, to discuss a fascinating historical discovery — the recently unearthed letters in which Murray Rothbard writes about Ayn Rand and her philosophy.Together they explore the complex and often contentious relationship between Rand and Rothbard, two towering figures in the libertarian and Objectivist movements. What did Rothbard really think of Rand? How did their intellectual split shape the future of the liberty movement? And what do these letters reveal about the philosophical divide between individualism and anarcho-capitalism?This is an illuminating conversation for anyone interested in the history of ideas, the moral foundations of freedom, and the enduring tension between Objectivism and libertarianism.

Discussing Economic Inequality with Robert F. MulliganIn this episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael Liebowitz sits down with economist Robert F. Mulligan to discuss one of the most debated issues in modern economics—economic inequality.Dr. Mulligan brings a rigorous, data-driven perspective to the conversation, examining what inequality actually measures, whether it's inherently unjust, and how government intervention often worsens the very disparities it claims to solve. Together, they explore the moral and economic implications of wealth distribution, the dangers of envy-based policies, and why freedom—not forced equality—is the foundation for human flourishing.Dr. Mulligan holds a BS in Civil Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology, and both an MA and PhD in Economics from the State University of New York at Binghamton. He also earned an Advanced Studies Certificate in International Economic Policy Research from the Institut fuer Weltwirtschaft Kiel in Germany. His academic career includes teaching positions at SUNY Binghamton, Clarkson University, and Western Carolina University, where he has inspired countless students to think critically about markets, policy, and individual choice.Read more here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1630691836/ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apin_dp_HHGKSW9Z8Y3HVXHGBSHB

Robin Hood by Henry Gilbert 词汇提示1.Crusader 十字军2.wicked 邪恶的原文Chapter Nine: A Stranger in the forestOne evening, Robin was hunting in the forest.He saw a knight riding an old tired horse.The Knight wore the Red Cross of the Crusader.'Good evening, young man,' said the knight. 'What is the name of this forest?''This is Sherwood Forest, sir,' answered Robin.'I have come from the Holy Land. I was there for many years. I fought many wars against the Turks. Now I am very tired and hungry,' said the knight.Robin said, 'Brave knight, come and eat with me and my men. You can stay with us tonight.''Thank you for your offer. I am happy to accept it.'The two men rode through the forest together.Robin told the stranger about greedy King John and his wicked Sheriff.He told him how the poor people suffered.He explained why he became an outlaw.The stranger listened carefully.There was a good meal of roast pork that evening.The stranger liked the merry company of Robin, Marian and the outlaws.He talked about his adventures in the Holy Land.At the end of the meal, Robin stood up and said,' Let us drink to Good King Richard, and to his return!'Everyone cheered and drank to Good King Richard and to his return.Then the stranger stood up, took off his head-covering, and said, 'My friends, I must tell you the truth. l am not a knight. I am your King Richard, also called the Lion heart!'There was silence for a moment.The surprise was so great!Then everyone at the table cheered and cried, 'Welcome home, King Richard!'Everyone knelt down.Robin said, 'We thank God for King Richard's return.''I am a lucky King. I have loyal people,' said King Richard, with tears in his eyes.'I know that my brother John and his men are dishonest and greedy. Now I am hereto punish the bad and bring justice to all.' King Richard looked at everyone and said, 'You are not outlaws anymore. You are now free men and all friends of mine. Robin, the lands of Locksley are yours again!You can all leave Sherwood Forest and live as freemen.'There was great excitement in the air.That night, King Richard slept in Sherwood Forest.The following morning, he rode to Nottingham with Robin, Marion and his friends of Sherwood Forest.When the Sheriff saw them, he ran away and never returned!After the King's return, Robin, Marion and Little John went to Locksley.They lived a long and happy life.Some of the outlaws returned to their old homes and villages.Some went looking for adventure.Others became soldiers in the king's army.In everyone's heart, there was a beautiful memory of the years spent in Sherwood Forest.翻译第九章:森林里的陌生人一天晚上,罗宾在森林里打猎。他看见一个骑士骑着一匹老马。骑士戴着十字军的红十字勋章。“晚上好,年轻人,”骑士说。“这片森林叫什么名字?”“这里是舍伍德森林,先生,”罗宾回答。“我是从圣地来的。我在那里待了很多年。我和土耳其人打了很多仗。现在我又累又饿。”骑士说。罗宾汉说:“勇敢的骑士,来和我和我的人一起吃饭吧。你今晚可以和我们住在一起。”“谢谢你的邀请。我很高兴接受。”两个人一起骑马穿过森林。罗宾把贪婪的国王约翰和他邪恶的郡长的事告诉了陌生人。他告诉他穷人是如何受苦的。他解释了他为什么成为一名不法分子。陌生人仔细地听着。那天晚上有一顿丰盛的烤猪肉。这个陌生人喜欢和罗宾、玛丽安以及那些亡命徒在一起。他谈到了他在圣地的冒险经历。吃完饭,罗宾站起来说:“让我们为理查德国王干杯,为他的归来干杯!”每个人都欢呼起来,为善良的理查国王和他的归来干杯。然后陌生人站起来,摘下他的头巾,说:“我的朋友们,我必须告诉你们真相。我不是骑士。我是你们的理查国王,也叫狮心王!”沉默了一会儿。惊喜是如此之大!然后,餐桌上的每个人都欢呼着叫道:“欢迎回家,理查德国王!”每个人都跪了下来。罗宾说:“我们感谢上帝让理查德国王回来了。”“我是一个幸运的国王。我有忠诚的人民,”理查国王说,眼里含着泪水。“我知道我哥哥约翰和他的手下既不诚实又贪婪。现在我在这里惩罚坏人,为所有人伸张正义。”理查国王看着每个人说:“你们不再是亡命徒了。你们现在是自由人了,都是我的朋友。罗宾,洛克斯利的土地又归你了!你们都可以离开舍伍德森林,过自由人的生活。”空气中弥漫着极大的兴奋。那天晚上,理查国王睡在舍伍德森林里。第二天早上,他和罗宾、马里恩以及舍伍德森林的朋友们骑马去了诺丁汉。当郡长看到他们时,他跑掉了,再也没有回来!国王回来后,罗宾、玛丽恩和小约翰去了洛克斯利。他们过着长久而幸福的生活。一些亡命之徒回到了他们原来的家园和村庄。一些人去寻找冒险。其他人则成为国王军队的士兵。在每个人的心中,都有一段在舍伍德森林度过的美好回忆。

Matt Ehret and Ghost welcome Cynthia Chung to dig into Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi, the architect of Pan-Europe and an overlooked forerunner of fascism. They trace how Kalergi's blueprint for the European Union drew from crusader ideology, Masonic symbolism, and a vision of reviving the Habsburg Empire. The conversation unpacks his ties to Mussolini, the Vatican, and Zionism, revealing how the League of Nations and Balfour Declaration carried forward a larger imperial strategy. From propaganda nudging Gen Z into crusader cosplay to Steve Bannon's modern “gladiator schools,” the hosts expose how old Templar currents resurface in today's geopolitics. They examine the danger of game theory traps that pit groups against one another, pushing societies toward engineered conflict and authoritarian “solutions.” With insights into social imperialism, the Fabian roots of fascism, and the modern Pan-Europe movement's push to break up Russia, this episode connects the past to the precarious present, urging listeners to resist empire by reclaiming sovereignty, economics, and responsibility for self-government.

With a doctorate in sociology, Dr. Facciani's research dives deep into how misinformation spreads, how social networks shape beliefs, and why political polarization and identity play such powerful roles in our culture.In this conversation, Michael and Dr. Facciani explore the connection between victim mentalities and susceptibility to conspiracy theories—why some people are drawn to narratives of persecution, and how this mindset feeds into distorted views of reality.

Much modern scholarship on King Arthur has revolved around the question of his historicity and origins, the recent greatest example being Higham's magisterial 2018 survey of all the major theories—except the one that I advance here: Arthur was only one of many legendary chivalric heroes with whom continental Crusader and Reconquistador storytellers populated the North Atlantic archipelago, in their imaginations the spiritual homeland of a fictional Europe innocent of Semitic influences (both Muslim and Jewish). First, we run through all the major Arthurian theories—including the all-time banger whereby Arthur was a Croatian-Roman general who led nomadic Iranian horse-rider recruits to fight off the Angles and Saxons in the last days of Roman Britain—as exhaustively investigated by Higham. Then I state the obvious: that all the most distinctive features of the Arthur story appear for the first time in French chivalric romance (with many parallels in Spanish, Italian, and Catalonian stories featuring other characters) in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, as the new Crusader concept of taking territory “back” from Muslims became the conceit of knightly adventure and conquest of “islands that the Emperor of Rome could not hold”, and the phenomenon of Crusaders bringing back relics from the holy land grew into legends like that of the Holy Grail. Finally, we explore one of foundational Japanese novelist Natsume Sōseki's very first literary ventures, the Arthurian story “Kairokō” (“A Dirge”, 1905) and the modern, pseudo-modern, or hyper-modern twists and turns that it imposes on earlier Arthurian stories by Malory (1485) and Tennyson (1833), while trying to steer clear of allegedly un-civilized and un-modern predecessors in Edo-period kabuki and puppet theatre—which were perhaps in fact more authentically modern because rooted in Afro-Asiatic silk road capitalism.

Cyprus' landscape is dotted with castles -- most famously by those nestled on the Kyrenia mountain range -- many which predate the Lusignan Period. First built by the Byzantines to protect Cyprus' northern coast, these castles would become fortified and expanded by the Franks. But Western sources circa twelfth and thirteenth centuries speak of castles throughout the main cities including "castrum Famagustam," "castellum quod dicitur Baffes" and "castellum quoddam firmissimum" in Nicosia. Were there castles there too?  And for that matter, why were they later abandoned? Today my guest is renowned castellologist, Dr. James Petre, whose definitive work "Crusader Castles of Cyprus" frames the bulk of this episode.

The agents made their way toward the Jumentierre Estate, and found improvised Valkyrie fliers that would give the Crimson Brothers advantage in the fight. The area was guarded by two Hereteks and a swarm of servo skulls, so Morgan opted for a stealth approach. She sent data from a nearby cogitator to CLO53T, who confirmed that Talos Ivo was meant to be on one of the ships, but when the Judge and their seconded Arbitrators shots at the Hereteks, the servo skull swarm suddenly broke their surveillance pattern and set their sights on the agents. Featuring players Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, Josh Halbot, and Tyler Hewitt, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante. Enjoying Agents of the Inquisition?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun (https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/)- Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice)- Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice) Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic- Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/)- Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)

New Show: Iron Order MC Giving Back – The Most Hated Club Still Has Heart Today on Black Dragon Biker TV, we're pulling back the curtain on a side of the biker world the media rarely shows… The Iron Order MC, often called the “most hated motorcycle club in America,” took time during their trip to the Black Hills Mountains to give back to the local community. No matter what's said about them — the patch, the past, or the politics — these brothers showed up for the people. Also. The Boozefighters MC stepped up for a family with a suffering child, proving once again that real bikers take care of more than just their own. And finally… A new controversy brews overseas — a team leader at a Gaza aid distribution site is being linked to an anti-“Jihad” motorcycle club and sports visible Crusader-style tattoos, stirring questions about motives, aid, and political tension. Join Black Dragon, Lavish T. Williams, and Logic as we discuss biker philanthropy, public perception, and whether good deeds can (or should) outshine bad reputations.
