Podcast appearances and mentions of Irwin Schiff

Retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins examines the rise and influence of Louis “Streaky” Gatto and the Genovese crime family's powerful New Jersey faction. Drawing from a 2004 New Jersey Crime Commission report, this episode explores how Genovese crews operated across multiple counties while controlling illegal gambling, loan sharking, and waterfront rackets through intimidation and organized violence. Gary breaks down the structure of Gatto's Bergen County crew, including the involvement of his son Joseph Gatto and son-in-law Alan “Little Al” Greco. The discussion details how the crew maintained control over bookmaking and gambling operations and how prosecutors later tied key members to murders connected to their criminal enterprises. The episode also dives into the federal RICO prosecution and the dramatic courtroom testimony of witness Robert Belli. Gary explains allegations that associates of the Gatto crew attempted to pressure and intimidate witnesses before testimony, including claims involving the infamous “evil eye” or malocchio. Prosecutors argued that subtle intimidation tactics, courtroom stares, and indirect threats were all part of an effort to influence testimony. Another major focus is Moe Brown, a reputed associate connected to the Gatto organization. The episode explores how prosecutors used recordings and testimony to connect Brown to the defendants and how his conduct in court became part of the government's intimidation narrative. Finally, Gary examines the later criminal cases involving Joseph Gatto, including offshore sports betting operations, convictions, prison sentences, and the eventual decline of the family's gambling empire. The episode concludes with the deaths of both Joseph Gatto and Louis “Streaky” Gatto, marking the end of an era for one of New Jersey's most feared Genovese crews.

Transcript [0:00] Hey, all you wiretappers, good to be back here in the studio of Gangland Wires. A little extra I’m going to throw in here. I did this interview with Scott Deitch about Jerry Katina, and I got a lot of. [0:12] Comments, a lot of reactions to that show, a lot of New Jersey mob fans, Genovese mob fans out there. A guy named Carmine, Carmine something, he had some other numbers after his name. Carmine commented that I should do a show on Louis Streaky Gatto. That was a New Jersey capo who was one of the Chin’s best earners in the Genovese family. He had a crew down in New Jersey. And if you notice, one more thing, I was going to mention this before. I got a new hat. Now, check this out. [0:46] Hope you can see that. Got the gangland wire insignia on it. Now, this is my official gangland wire hat. [0:56] Louis Streaky Gatto, the New Jersey Crime Commission report in May 2004, reported that the Genovese family maintained five crews headquartered in New Jersey. Each was overseen by a capo, of course, and each of the four New York-based crews, this is right out of The Sopranos, about 40 soldiers and more than 400 criminal associates who were active in New Jersey. [1:21] They reported that the family operated in the northern New Jersey counties of Hudson, Essex, Union, Bergen, and Passaic County. They also had gained strength in Middlesex, Monmouth, and Ocean counties. Ocean, is that down in Atlantic City? I don’t have a map in front of me, so I’m not sure. The crime report stated that the Genovese family controlled the largest bookmaking and loan sharking rings in the New York, New Jersey metropolitan area. And the family maintained a strong influence on the Port Newark, Elizabeth, and Hudson County waterfronts. This report also identified the family consigliere Lawrence Little Larry Dentico as a person with the most extensive familiarity of the family’s New Jersey operations because he had been the top aide to the former consigliere and New York, New Jersey operations chief, Louis A. Bobby Mann. I did a show on Bobby Mann and Irwin Schiff and some of those plots, I don’t know, sometime in the last year, I believe. This 2004 report identified the five capos at that time in New Jersey, and they were Tino Fouimara, who died in 2010, Angelo Prisco, who died in 2017, Joseph Gatto died in 2010, Silvio DeVita, and Ludwig Bruchy, who died in 2020. [2:44] Now, Streaky Gatto, Louis Streaky Gatto, he was always the favorite money earner of Vincent de Chin Gigante. Before he was promoted to captain, his New Jersey crew was led by a capo named Peter LaPlaca until the mid-1970s, and that’s when Streaky Gatto took over the crew. Gatto was the boss of Bergen County with the help of his son, Joseph the Eagle Gatto. And his son-in-law, and a guy who keeps coming back in this thing, and who was his top enforcer, Alan Little Al Greco. I noticed a comment. Somebody said that he was really half Polish. I think his mother was Polish and his father was Italian. Somebody correct me on that in the comments, if you will. Controlled large illegal gambling, loan sharking, bookmaking operations in Bergen and Passaic counties. [3:33] These three guys used murder, violence, and fear to click on these rackets and control everybody who was a bookmaker. You couldn’t be, like Chicago, you couldn’t be a lone wolf bookmaker making money without these guys getting a piece of your action and working with you on it. They made sure that other rivals didn’t take advantage of somebody that was [3:55] under their protection. Gatto and Alan Greco, Little Al, were indicted on two counts of murder for the murders of Arthur Belli and Vincent Mastretti. They also were alleged to be behind the murders of a guy named Jack Handsome Jack, Ciaranella, Johnny Lombardi, and Peter Adamo. 1991-1990. [4:20] Streaky Gatto and Alan Greco were sentenced to 65 years. Streaky Gatto’s son, Joseph Gatto, was indicted on racketeering charges in the same RICO prosecution, but he only received 30 months. There was an appeal to that trial, and we learned a little bit about their brazen intimidation tactics, how it works. There’s a guy named Robert Belli, whose brother had had a gambling operation. His brother, Arthur Belli, was one of the persons in that RICO case that was murdered by Streaky Gatto. They called on Robert Belli to testify about the extortionate takeover of their gambling business. And he said that little Al Greco once told him, he said, things are going to be different now. And then shortly after that, Robert Belli’s hot dog truck was blown up and he was beaten by two men with baseball bats, typical mob extortionist takeovers of a small-time gambler, a bookie, a guy that had his own book of business, his own customers. As a result, he just gave it up. But he also testified that Belli disappeared and now we’re in trial for Belli being murdered by Streaky Gatto and planned on returning to the business just before he disappeared. [5:37] Now, in cross-examination, it turns out that he had been spoken to by somebody in the Gatto families because he all of a sudden starts agreeing with all the defense counsel’s suggestions, first of all, that the prosecutor paid him and pressured him, and all the local police and prosecutors involved in the case were corrupt. I’ll redirect. The prosecutor tries to show that Belli had become hostile to government and accommodating to the defense because he’d been intimidated. They asked Belli about a guy named Frank Sesta, who was known as Mo Brown. We’ll refer to him as Mo Brown. He was always known as Mo Brown. Belli stated that after defense investigators, Gatto’s lawyers and their investigators handed him into a meeting with the defense counsel, Mo Brown showed up and wanted to take him to the meeting. And then when he wouldn’t go with Mo Brown, Brown tried to pressure him into letting one of his associates drive him to this meeting and again to a pretrial hearing. He wouldn’t do it. He knew better than that. He took a ride with a government investigator. He did have to go meet with the defense counsel, of course. Anybody that’s going to be a witness against you, they have to make them available to the defense investigators and counsels, defense counsel, in order to do a deposition or just listen to what, see what they got to say. [6:59] He said Brown approached him and told him about a job interview. He said he’d take him to his job interview just before he testified at trial. He said Brown had discussed the case with him more than once and once said, isn’t it a shame that Little Al got 60 years in this case and he did get 65 years? And this all was coming out after they got their 65-year sentences, Little Al and Streaky Gatto. They just kept coming back. And then during the trial, the prosecutors got testimony from Belli that Moe Brown had been in the courtroom and standing directly in front of him several times and that he looked at him with an unhappy look. [7:36] Of course, they objected, the defense counsel objected to all that. They also introduced evidence that this Moe Brown was really closely connected to Streaky Gatto and Little Al Greco. They’d sent him into surveillance during the social club, the Lodi Social Club, and sent him with other people in the defendant’s gambling business. They also had a tape of a conversation between Louis Gatto Jr., Stryker Gatto’s son, and little Al Greco, talking about Mo Brown, that they were real familiar with him. So they connected Mo Brown to the Gattos and to Little Al Greco and then showed how he was then in court and was given the witness, the evil eye, the malokia, I think they call it, something like that was in The Godfather. And that he had tried to befriend the guy before he testified and told him about a job and tried to give him rides different places. They even mentioned that how… [8:39] They asked the witness Belli about three occasions during the trial when Al Greco had given him a look. One was before he testified, and Greco passed by him in the hallway, and he gave him a look. Defense has strenuously objected to this. It’s irrelevant, and you can’t really say that look was a bad look. The defense counsel strenuously objected to these points, but it was overruled. The second look came when Belli was in the back of the courtroom him waiting to testify, and Greco, Little Al Greco, just turned his chair around just to give him a look, and the third time was when Greco stood up and then turned over around and looked at Belli during the sidebar while Belli was on the stand. Prosecutor then asked Belli if Greco had ever looked at him that way before, and Belli said, well, he had. He said when he told him, Little Al Greco told him things are going to be different just before he beat him up, or had he beaten, And, of course, they strenuously object to all this. In the end, it did not do any good. In the end, little Al Greco still got his 65 years, and he didn’t get a new trial or anything. [9:45] A little story in regards to little Al Greco, the guy that was son-in-law to Strique Gatto and was right under him. It seemed like he was his main kind of enforcement guy, guy out dealing, maybe underboss, under people trying to, guy that deals with people on the street. He made a connection with a notorious New Jersey con artist and mob associates, Tom Giacomaro. They wanted him to come in and be a made man, supposedly, in the 80s. And, you know, he didn’t want it. He was independent. He knew better because once you come in, you know, they’re going to take everything from you. And he was quoted as saying, you know, I don’t want to kiss the ring. Everybody’s kissing Streaky Gatto’s ring, he said, except me. Jack Amaro was in the trucking business with two of Streaky’s crew, and they were making a lot of money. Streaky wanted to sit down. He wanted to bring this guy in because he was earning a lot of money. Giacomaro remembers that they met at Vesuvius in Newark. I mean, it sounds just like the Sopranos, doesn’t it? He described the table and how it went down. He said, Streaky sat at the head of the table with his sons right next to him, Joseph and Louis Jr. And his son-in-law, little Al Greco. [11:02] And Giacomaro remembered that Streaky was a skinny little guy who hardly said anything, but he said he had an ego big enough to suffocate the entire restaurant. Over again, little Al took care of the business during this lunch. He pitched Giacomaro on Friday. Him joining the family plan. And Streaky, during this time, he made a big production of putting some $100 bills between his knuckles. He held up his fist when the waiters came and they kissed his ring and took the bill and said, oh, thank you, Don Luigi. Thank you. During this lunch, he remembered that little Al once said, you know, we want to open the books for use. We got big plans for use. He knew what that meant. He knew he was then going to have to give him a percentage of his earnings and let them use his businesses to launder their money. Finally, he says, you know, Giacomaro says, I told Streaky and I told Lil Al, I said, you know, what can you really offer me with that? I don’t already have. He said, it was like everybody just quit breathing. [12:02] Just a dead silence fell over the table. He said he thought Streaky Yaddo was going to leap across his pastas and stab him in the eye with a fork. He didn’t, you know, he’s in a public place. And, you know, he would later say, you know, I was going to use them for everything they had, but never be one of them. You know, I’ll infiltrate their world all the way at the top if I can, [12:22] but I ain’t never being made because the only crime boss I want to answer to is myself. Joseph Gatto, Stricky Gatto’s son, was released in 1993, and he took over control of his father’s crew. He expanded the crew’s gambling operations and introduced, you know, brings it in the 21st century, so to speak, of the use of pagers and cell phones. And by 1999, he gets convicted again on some illegal gambling charges and took a plea deal. And at that time, he did admit that he was a capo of the Genovese family. You know, gambling is getting lesser, lighter sentences by then. He had a pretty light sentence. He gets released again in 2003. But a year later, he’s indicted in 2004 for running something called Catalina Sports, which is an offshore wire room in Costa rica bosley this thing was taking in 300 to 500 hundred thousand dollars profit per week and these gatos they were they were money earners that’s for sure that conviction gets overturned and you know by now 2005. [13:22] They did try him again in 2008. I don’t even know what happened. He’ll die in 2010. He’ll never go back to jail again. And nobody cares about gambling by then because it’s getting opened up all over the place. Streaky Gatto, who originally started talking about his father, died in prison in 2002. He never got out after he got that 65-year sentence from his RICO and murder convictions. So that’s a little bit about Louis Streaky Gatto. [13:48] And Carmine, thanks for suggesting that. So I hope y’all like this story. I hope y’all like my hat with my Gangland Wire logo on it. Talk to you later. Thanks, guys.

In this episode of Gangland Wire, retired intelligence detective Gary Jenkins exposes the brutal fall of one of the Mafia's most calculating figures—Louis “Bobby” Manna, the Genovese consigliere who wielded silent power until a single wiretap changed everything. From the mobbed-up docks of Bayonne to the smoke-filled offices of Queens Borough Hall, we follow the story of Irwin “The Fat Man” Schiff, a civilian fixer with deep Mafia and political ties. Schiff played both sides—until the feds flipped him. And when Manna found out, it sealed Schiff's fate. Bobby Manna's Rise: From the 1950s onward, Manna ran the Genovese family's New Jersey rackets—extortion, labor corruption, and construction scams. He was quiet, feared, and always in the background—until FBI bugs in Casella's Restaurant picked up murder plots against Irwin Schiff and even John Gotti. Irwin Schiff's Double Life: A Jewish outsider in an Italian world, Schiff was the ultimate connector—tying mobsters, politicians, and union bosses together in backroom deals and rigged bids. But when he became a government informant, he became a marked man. The Hit: On August 28, 1987, Schiff was gunned down in a Manhattan restaurant. Three bullets in under ten seconds—“clean, no mistakes,” just like Manna ordered. The killing shocked the city and became the linchpin in a massive RICO case. The Fall of Manna: In 1989, Manna was convicted and sentenced to 80 years in prison. He died a frail old man after being granted compassionate release in 2025—but his downfall was sealed decades earlier, the moment the FBI pressed "record."

This is your host, Gary Jenkins, [0:03] retired Kansas City Police Detective Intelligence Unit. And today we're going to dive into a deadly game of wiretaps, whispers, and betrayals and murder. This is the story of Louis Bobby Manna and really what brought him down. He was the feared consigliere of the Genovese crime family. And the one that was going to bring him down was the murder of Irwin, the fat man Schiff. He was a civilian fixer whose mouth got him killed. Now, from the mobbed-up docks in Bayonne to the backroom deals in Queensborough Hall, we'll trace how power was wielded in silence until the tapes started talking. And once they did, they were going to bring down one of the Mafia's most secretive tacticians, that's Bobby Manna. Bobby Manna once held one of the most powerful positions in the American Mafia in the 70s and 80s. He was the consigliere of the Genovese crime family when Gigante was in charge. He was the third in command. He also ran all the family's New Jersey operations, I mean, with some brutal efficiency. And he knew all the underworld's most feared players in the New York City area and that whole area. [1:13] And his influence stretched not only from the piers of Bayonne and the docks and the shipping industry, but also the political corridors of New York's construction rackets, which as you guys know,

Peter emphasizes the potential of gold stocks despite recent declines and encourages investment in Euro Pacific's gold fund, detailing the strong earnings reports from gold mining companies. The segment concludes with a poignant tribute to his father, Irwin Schiff, highlighting his controversial stance on income tax enforcement and offering insights from Irwin's speeches and writings.

Irwin Schiff (1928–2015) was an outspoken and controversial figure in the world of tax protest movements. A self-styled “tax honesty” advocate, Schiff was best known for claiming that paying federal income tax was not legally required for U.S. citizens, a position that led him into repeated legal battles with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and federal courts. Despite earning a degree in accounting, Schiff became a fervent critic of the federal tax system, arguing it was unconstitutional and based on government overreach. He gained notoriety through books like The Federal Mafia: How the Government Illegally Imposes and Unlawfully Collects Income Taxes, in which he outlined his belief that the IRS manipulated Americans into paying taxes they didn't owe. The book was so controversial that a federal court banned its sale, deeming it misleading and fraudulent. Schiff also conducted seminars and sold kits to promote his tax avoidance strategies, further solidifying his place as a polarizing figure in tax law debates. Schiff's defiance of the IRS wasn't just theoretical; he openly refused to pay income taxes and urged others to do the same. Over the years, this resistance led to multiple convictions for tax evasion, fraud, and contempt of court. In 2006, he was sentenced to over 13 years in prison for his repeated offenses. Despite his legal troubles and the lack of legal validation for his theories, Schiff maintained his innocence and stood by his beliefs until his death in 2015 while still incarcerated. Seen by some as a crusader for individual liberty and by others as a dangerous promoter of tax evasion, Irwin Schiff remains a polarizing symbol of the anti-tax movement. His story serves as both a cautionary tale and a rallying cry for those who challenge federal authority.

Yousif Almoayyed runs a concrete business based in Bahrain, part of a family conglomerate of businesses. It's a complex business, requiring the procurement of raw materials both locally and imported, the manufacture of products to exacting standards, the provision of on-time and efficient service and deliveries, relationship management, and cash flow management. The business involves high-cost capital goods and careful economic calculation of the revenue flows from those capital goods in an environment of fluctuating costs and market prices. His university education was in engineering: math and computer science. He declined the opportunity for a business degree in order to learn on-the-job. Part of his self-directed business education was the reading and thoughtful analysis of Austrian Economics texts, and the practiced application of the principles gleaned from non-stop reading. Show Notes By reading Austrian Economics texts and thinking about how to apply the learning, It's possible to develop an “economic way” of seeing and thinking. Yousif's reading plan was eclectic and broad-ranging. He first discovered Irwin Schiff's How An Economy Grows And Why It Doesn't. Then he found Bastiat, and heard Ron Paul mention Austrian Economics, so he signed up for Mises University, which he listened to in his car via iTunesU. Since then he's read all the great texts, many downloaded free from Mises.org. His reading gave him principles, economic logic, and clarity and precision in vocabulary. Looking through an economic lens results in a better understanding of people, their goals and motivations and the purpose of their actions. Now it is possible to look at people and understand why they do what they do. Economics teaches empathy — putting yourself in other people's shoes to understand their motivations and therefore their actions. This analysis applies to customers, colleagues and employees. Yousif declared himself “surprised and shocked” at why he had not been taught this before. For entrepreneurs, the core of economics is subjective value. Many people use the term “value” mistakenly and imprecisely. They equate money prices with value. But Austrians do not make this mistake, and by analyzing the subjective value preferences of customers and employees, it is possible to be more effective at motivating. To a customer, on-time delivery and operational efficiency have a value that can be reflected in higher price or longer cash flows through relationship strengthening. To an employee, convenient parking and recognition for extra effort can have more value than a pay raise. Your tennis coach tells you, “Keep your eye on the ball”. In business, it's “Keep your eye on each individual's subjective value preferences”. Austrian economics provides a uniquely helpful perspective on pricing. Pricing is a particularly challenging subject for entrepreneurs. The Austrian perspective recognizes that, at any given moment, price is a kind of average of what many involved actors think it should be, i.e. it's subjective. Some think it should be higher, some lower; some think it's going to drop, some think it's going to go up. At a point on time, all the actors settle on a number. Austrian economics teaches you to observe what all the actors are doing or hoping to do in the market at the time, and to analyze what's motivating them. Many things influence price actors — including the supply and demand for the product or service, but also the supply and demand of money — but always in the specific market of your local set of exchanges and local actors. Prices tell the truth. A lot of people won't accept market prices. They deny the truth. If prices contradict what's in the news, the news is fake. If a building owner fails to lower the rental prices of apartments because he things that would be going too low, and the building becomes one-third unoccupied, it is the prices that are telling the building owner the truth. In Austrian economics, prices determine costs. The entrepreneur has some discretion to manage costs, but must meet the market price. Entrepreneurs must meet the market price in order to sell, and find ways of keeping costs below that level to make a profit. The entrepreneur can have some influence over costs e.g. via negotiating contracts based on volume, or speculating, or finding new suppliers. Importantly, if market prices change, the entrepreneur's cost must change. Subsequently, it's important to understand that accounts look instantly different. What you did in the past is no longer an accurate indication of what you can do today. You can't repeat old arrangements when future prices change. Prices change the way your accounts look in the past, present and future. As a consequence, traditional accounting is mostly useless for entrepreneurs. Accountants do not really measure anything, at least not accurately. Many of their numbers are aggregated figures, or averages over arbitrary periods of time like quarters or months. Accounting takes something inherently dynamic and simplifies it and puts it into numbers for purposes of stewardship over capital. Accounts were originally simplified snapshots for owners who look periodically at what their managers are doing. Entrepreneurs who are actually running a business need to understand what is going on dynamically under the numbers. We need economics to understand “underneath the numbers”. Austrians are very careful with assumptions, and are sensitive to the many assumptions in accounting. For example, asset prices may fluctuate. They are accounted for via straight line depreciation, which is calculated for deduction from income tax, and therefore is not necessarily accurate regarding the real world. Austrians examine the ends of the people who devised the accounting systems. Knowledge of Austrian Economics is the foundation for confidence and decisiveness. An entrepreneur can never have complete data or complete information. Austrian economics enables the entrepreneur to make confident decisions under these conditions of uncertainty. That's because the Austrian lens focuses not on data but on more qualitative understanding. Austrian entrepreneurs utilize the principle of distributed knowledge from F.A. Hayek. Talk to salespeople. Talk to cab drivers. Observe behaviors. Derive indications. If those indications are pointing in a certain direction, reach a conclusion. Confidence, of course, comes from being right. So keep practicing the formation of entrepreneurial judgments. Call things before all the information is in. Review the outcome based on results. If there is contradictory information, don't be hasty. Economics helps you build a picture of what all these indicators mean. Supplementals Yousif mentions accounting as a field where Austrian Economics gives entrepreneurs a different perspective. See Thomas C. Taylor's Accounting In The Austrian Tradition, as well as his interview on mises.org. For a general view of Austrian Economics for Business, you might like this lecture video by Peter Klein.

Recorded April 16, 2019 VISIT PETER AT THE LAS VEGAS MONEY SHOW May 13 - 15, 2019 https://conferences.moneyshow.com/moneyshow-las-vegas/speakers/4532d84bf93311d3a5dd00104b96e7b5/peter-schiff/ Tax Day Yesterday was April 15th - Tax Day, or as my father, Irwin Schiff used to say, "April Fool's Day". My father thought it was April Fool's Day because he believed that that was the day on which Americans basically voluntarily paid a tax that no law required them to pay and voluntarily filed a 1040 tax form that no law required them to file.  Of course, my father ultimately went to jail and died and jail because of those beliefs.  I have been paying my taxes, although now that I live in Puerto Rico it's not nearly as painful as it used to be when I lived in Connecticut. 16th Amendment A lot of people don't realize that April 15 was not always Tax Day; a little bit of trivia. When the income tax first passed, or reared its ugly head in 1913 - although that's not the first time we had an income tax.  We had an income tax during the civil war. The North imposed the tax and when the war ended, the income tax went away. It came back again, and it was declared unconstitutional, correctly, by the Supreme Court in the Pollock Decision.  Then they resurrected it with the 16th Amendment, and following the 16th Amendment in 1913, the original Tax Day was March 1. Income Tax Why is that? Because the income tax is a tax on your income for an entire year. So, we are now in 2019 and we're paying our income taxes for 2018.  But you don't know what your income is in 2018 until the year is over. You may have earned a lot of money early in the year - you could lose it all back on the last day of the year and end up with no income at all - end up with a loss.  So the idea was, if you're going to tax your income, then we have to wait until the end of the year, and then we have to give you some time to add up your income and figure out what you owe and then pay the tax.

Unless you're Bill Gates you're just one serious illness away from bankruptcy. The paradox is that the US has the costliest health system in the world, yet it performs so poorly compared to many other countries. In today’s episode, Jeff Kanter and Dr. Berkson delve into this growing health care crisis surrounding health insurance. Health insurance is supposed to protect against possible “future risks” —but today’s systems are not offering all Americans adequate protection. Jeff Kanter is no stranger to politics and concern about regulatory health care and protection of the individual. Mr. Kanter was the campaign manager for Irwin Schiff’s 1996 Libertarian Presidential campaign. Now, Mr. Kanter is tackling health insurance. In today’s world of medicine, insurance companies have more and more control over how patients get treated. Doctor’s work directly for insurance companies, not for you, their patient. To create a new paradigm, Mr. Kanter co-founded a new company. In Health Excellence Plus, the doctor and patient have direct control. This new paradigm eliminates the insurance company as the middleman, and is an insurance game-changer. This new form of insurance, called “bottom-up patient-centric” health care, allows Americans to take back control of their health from third-party interference by insurance companies. Why does health care cost so much? Why are many Americans, even if they are insured, at risk of losing everything with a serious diagnosis? Why do health insurance policies presently—with high deductibles, co-pays, and excessive exclusions—offer little protection during a serious illness? Why are so few talking about this horrific problem for so many Americans? New options are emerging, especially for younger and healthier Americans. This information does not YET address the growing issues in Medicare-aged Americans, which are being threatened by decreases in coverage and by privatization. We need answers. And this show offers creative solutions for these serious health concerns. A serial entrepreneur, Mr. Kanter saw an opportunity to put libertarian ideas into action with the inception of the Affordable Care Act. You will be hearing more and more about insurance alternatives, and Mr. Kanter’s company is pioneering this direction. On this show you will learn: 1. Why is the free market the only solution to our problem? 2. What does a self-pay patient look like? 3. Why do you need to have a strategy when it comes to your health? 4. What is the difference between insurance and medical cost sharing 5. What direction are doctors going? 6. Which direction is medicine in general going?

Remembering Irwin Schiff Today would have been my father, Irwin Schiff's 90th birthday. If you're not familiar with my father's story, and I'm sure most of the people who listen to this podcast are familiar with my father but if you're not go to schiffbooks.com and pick up a copy of "The Federal Mafia," which was one of only 2 books banned by the Federal Government.  We have a lot of books, "The Kingdom Moltz" a book that really shows off my father's sense of humor.  It's beautifully illustrated by an artist named Andy Ice.  I always liked that book as a kid. The book is very appropriate now, because it really explains inflation and where it comes from.  My dad's old website, paynoincometax.com is still up, which has an archive of his old radio shows that he did weekly from Las Vegas. If you listen to my Dad, you'll know what I'm coming from.  My dad talks a lot about economics. Everything is Great! But today, everything is great; Wall Street had a huge relief rally today; the Dow Jones was up almost 350 points, pretty much closing right on the highs of the day.  The NASDAQ had an even better day, by percentage, up 120 points.  The Dow was down on the week until today, but this big gain brought it up for the week. Down Day in the Bond Market I think the reason the market was so strong was we finally got a down day in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year treasury went back down. We closed at 2.871.  Remember, we got to 2.95, we almost got to 3% and now we're back down to 2.871 on the 30 year. We had gotten up to 3.22 a couple of days ago.  I think this took a lot of pressure off the stock market and people came in buying. "Everything is great; nothing to worry about!" Commodities Strong Across the Board The commodity market, though, was very strong across the board.  Look at the surprise strength in oil.  Everybody was talking about oil prices coming down - we're already back up to $63.50 and above. Almost back the the highs.  Oil prices are going a lot higher. It's not just oil prices that are going up; commodities in general.  I think we are in the early stages of another major boom in commodity prices.  We had a big boom that ended in 2008 with the financial crisis.  This is going to be a bigger boom, because it's not going to end in a financial crisis.  This is going to be a dollar crisis, which is music to the ears of the commodity markets because they're all priced in dollars.

This is the first podcast I've been able to record since the death of my father, Irwin Schiff, who passed away on Friday If you're interested in learning more about him and the circumstances surrounding his death, I would encourage you to read my commentary, "The Death of a Patriot" There also links to many other articles written about him on my Facebook page You can also find on my YouTube channel, my father's debate for the 1996 Libertarian Nomination for President You can also find on the internet a video he created called, "The Secrets of a Tax Free Life" He died in jail because of his political beliefs and for standing up for his Constitutional rights While in prison, my father got insufficient medical care, he lost all his teeth, lost his eyesight and eventually died of cancer In my father's case, even if he were wrong, the penalty should have been a civil case My father was steadfast in his beliefs, and did not want to be released unless he won his appeals The Dow was up more than 300 points today The strength came from the ECB, as Draghi suggested that the ECB was considering expanding QE The ECB is trying to talk the euro down The ECB did not actually do anything, they just jaw-boned the markets with the idea of more QE This was a euro story - the dollar was only up against the euro The New Zealand dollar was up 1.3% against the U.S. dollar Gold was up 2% in terms of euros Silver was up .15 in dollars despite the big jump in the dollar index This lays more foundation for the Fed not to raise rates At some point, I think the Fed will another round of QE The reason Draghi suggested QE was over fears that inflation is too low It is running at .9%, but according the ECB, the holy grail is 1.9% Draghi was asked why he is spending so much money to raise inflation when he earlier said that low inflation is good for purchasing power How does the ECB think they can pinpoint inflation to exactly 1.9%? Draghi's answer was that low inflation makes debt harder to repay What Draghi is saying is that it doesn't reduce debt enough Why is it good to transfer wealth from creditors to debtors? He also said that with low inflation, real wages will rise Why is this a problem? Because the government artificially boosted wages in the first place expecting inflation to mitigate their true effect in the economy What's really too high is not so much wages as labor costs, due to government mandates We want workers to have higher wages in a free market based on their productivity All that is undermined in the ECB's quest to generate inflation Draghi also questions the accuracy of is numbers Central bankers are trying to prop up the stock market and the government The real debt the central banks want to wipe out is government debt This is not what central banks are supposed t do, they're supposed to be independent Another reason the U.S. market might have been strong is because of all the weak economic data that came out Housing was stronger than expected, but everything else was pretty weak The Chicago Fed National Activity Index, which was -.41 came in at -.37 - back to back bad months Also leading economic indicators experience their biggest drop in almost 3 years to -.2 Last month was also revised down Also the Kansas City Fed Manufacturing Index negative again Bloomberg's economic expectations index is at its lowest level since 2013 All these indicators suggest recession on the horizon This is music to the ears of Wall Street traders because it means the Fed will continue to play the cheap money tune I don't think the smaller countries that don't have debt problem will follow the Pied Pipers of inflation down the primrose path I think you are going to see a big drop in the dollar There are currencies that are gaining strength and will continue to gain strength especially with the Fed has to come clean

The purpose of talking about the negativity of politics is to create a better world for everyone The moral double standard of government must be challenged People comply all the time for all kinds of reasons "Agents of the State" do not work for us; they work for those "in charge" Cops: America's one and only--by force! A legalized monopoly on police force will always use that force against you Public property leads to making victims out of all of us, by "agents of the State" Impounding equals theft equals extortion racket Many "businesses" collude with those in government and use the force of the State to make money The goal of government is to maintain obedience (in order to "make" money and keep control) In traditional education, kids are managed, watched, and told what to do by those who presume to be "authorities" over them, which leads directly to statism Arbitrary enforcement of unjust laws makes perfect sense, doesn't it? Typical "news" stories don't have truth and freedom in mind Government as Jabba the Hut...

It's incumbent on parents to see their kids as equally deserving of respect Unschooling principles are based on a mutually respectful code of morality And kids who are unschooled according to rational moral principles won't tolerate tyranny as adults Each generation is within reach of complete liberty; it's just a matter of how much of your life you want to take back that has been stolen from you "Public property" is a contradiction in terms, and a sure-fire way for authoritarian sociopaths to treat others unjustly Our distinct lack of freedom is the issue and idea of our age... The common denominator of socio-economic problems is government, and the irrational/unjust memes fostering it Hernando de Soto's misguided ideas about property rights http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/commandingheights/shared/minitextlo/int_hernandodesoto.html The illusion of property rights serves the interests of those in power to essentially harvest the products of the free-range slaves Lack of understanding in economics and human motivation leads to fears about exploitation by property owners Re-educate thyself in the nature of freedom: http://tolfa.us Feel free to rate and review CLP... http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=254220370 The fundamental difference between Marxism and Objectivism (property understood and applied) is logic http://wiki.objectivismonline.net/wiki/Introduction_to_Objectivist_Epistemology http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/epistemology.html http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/objectivism.html Most philosophers throughout history have denied the validity of the senses and thus forward illogical epistemology Do you think that freedom should be the highest value for human beings? Reason, purpose, and self-esteem all require freedom Both personal and political freedom are necessary to live a life proper to a human being Rationalizations for statist memes serve as sick substitutes for genuine choices in a free marketplace The founders of Sudbury Valley School unfortunately incorporated "democratic" statism into an unschooling school (free school) environment - http://tinyurl.com/leukmc Being told that you have "a voice" in a democracy is basically saying that you don't exist as a respectable person The obedience meme is widespread, even among the liberty movement Some have decided NOT to obey - Lauren Canario Eminent Domain Arrest (in 2005) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-ElrlwnMrA Is the lack of freedom in your life preferable to experiencing the consequences of living freely? With the moral code of altruism, there is no end to the sacrifices and thus rationalizations Only a tireless disobedient minority (of agorist intellectuals) can accelerate the process of achieving complete liberty If you're not doing anything to protest the injustices of those in government, and if you're not demanding better behavior, nothing is going to change Lots of wealthy businesspersons "legally" try to pay as little taxes as possible, which concedes the immoral premise of statism and emboldens statist oppressors Civil disobedience--based on the principle of self-ownership and property rights--is the moral thing to do, because individuals should be respected "Under a government which imprisons unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison." H.D.T. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Disobedience_(Thoreau) Reacting violently to political oppressors not only plays into the hands (fists and guns) of the authoritarian sociopaths, but it also leaves the authoritarian/obedience memes intact Nothing trumps your mind, volition, and life The greatest motivation and benefit of defying unjust demands is internal Those who believe that they are moral must come to terms with enslaving and incarcerating rights-respecting individuals Supporters, video cameras and the Internet are the primary methods of showing the immoral and unjust behavior of governmental "officials" (and shaming them) Complying--remaining libertarian talkers--makes it seem as if injustice isn't happening Stefan Molyneux's contrary messages: http://www.freedomainradio.com/Traffic_Jams/FDR_1448_working_for_the_state.mp3 http://www.freedomainradio.com/Traffic_Jams/FDR_1369_Tricky_Trollz.mp3 If we believe that it's moral and practical to obey, then neither those in government (nor bullies) will change their behavior as a consequence You're never going to get a significant fraction of people on board the liberty movement unless you do disobey, and incur the consequences of the code of immorality that's being foisted on people Violent resistance to governmental "officials" unjust demands basically would lead to your death and their death, and perhaps death of the liberty movement The authoritarian/obedience meme has existed for centuries--but it's time to evolve, and it would be a shame if we didn't Check out the activism in Keene, NH - http://freekeene.com Freedom Roundtable - 2009 Liberty Forum - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUAoeQ-6Q2o In America, we have the rhetoric and pretense of freedom The next-step challenge is to get rid of the behavioral contradictions, to walk the talk All those in governmental schools need to listen to Brett's School Sucks Podcast - http://edu-lu-tion.com The horrible injustice perpetrated on Irwin Schiff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irwin_Schiff#Convictions_for_1997_through_2002_tax_years Peter Schiff on his father, Irwin Schiff - http://motorhomediaries.com/schiff/ The immoral man whose job Schiff wants - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_history_of_Christopher_Dodd The IRS is an institution that is evil to the core--they aggress against rights-respecting persons and their property Even if you're fully educated about complete liberty, as long as you comply with tyrannical attitudes, nothing really changes for the better For the convenience of the government, and on account of his heroic efforts, Daniel is no longer part of the Navy: http://immoralityofwar.blogspot.com/2009/09/day-131-end-of-my-military-enslavement.html War is the health of the State, and the State promotes war, first and foremost on "it's citizens" via taxation and regulation http://warisimmoral.com bumper music "Rise Above" by Black Flag (and Intro: "Richard Feynman: Disrepect for Authority" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhD0MxacnIE ) http://www.myspace.com/blackflag80shardcore  http://www.sstsuperstore.com/product.asp?showproduct=SST007-CD to comment, please go to http://completeliberty.com/magazine/category/91697
