If you're more inclined to seek out solutions rather than loudly point out problems, here's a commentary you'll likely enjoy. Gary M. Galles says we need more people who are willing to ask why things are the way they are. The merger of health care and government has only worked out for those who are a part of the new medical cartel. Lawrence M. Vance offers 10 health care ideas for everyone. If you've felt a calling to write, now is the time to answer that call. J.B. Shurk issues a call to quills for writers everywhere. The moment of decision is approaching for each of us. Will we choose comfort over freedom? The G20 attendees are openly announcing plans to implement digital currencies and IDs worldwide. Article of the Day: Fighting evil doesn't necessarily require drawing a sword. However, as Karen Hunt explains, it does require speaking the truth while walking through fire.

If you're a serious warrior for freedom, you need to read Dan Sanchez's latest column on calling off the call-out culture. Dan says the cause of freedom needs educators, not inquisitors. The predictable calls for more gun control are echoing from the usual suspects following a shooting spree on a Michigan campus. D. Parker wonders if the fact that "gun-free zones" don't work is finally starting to dawn on the New York Times. At the risk of sounding like a monetary Chicken Little, the threat from central bank digital currencies is growing by the minute. Check out Paul Rosenberg's crucial message on CBDCs and how they are already being used to gain absolute control of populations. Parents in Pocatello, Idaho have succeeded in getting the promoters of a drag queen story hour to cut the event short when concerned parents filled the seats and there wasn't enough room for children to attend. What does that tell you when such a show is pointless without children? The case of Colorado cake-maker Jack Phillips is less about free speech and freedom of religion and more about private property rights. Lawrence M. Vance sets the record straight.

Now that Putin has started military action in Ukraine, it's hard to know who to believe as to why this is happening. The Good Citizen has a marvelous summary of the situation in an essay titled "Hyenas In the Kitchen." More and more individuals are finally catching on to the fact that government and mass media misled and manipulated us in the name of public health. Here's one clear takeaway: After Covid, we must embrace critical thinking again. People in power are scared right now. Their influence is waning because their official words and reality did not line up. To avoid falling for their tricks again, Joakim Book pitches the need for skepticism as a new way of life. When people stand up against government overreach, the crux of the matter isn't the tone of voice they are using--it's the violation of the government's limits. Gary M. Galles wonders whether our current tension is the result of uncivil cause or effect. The media drumbeat about Ukraine sure seems to be trying to steer our country toward military conflict. Lawrence M. Vance reminds us that Ron Paul was right about Ukraine in 2014 and he's right today as well. It's interesting how the divide between rural and urban centers has sparked the freedom convoys. Dan Gelernter asks, where did our freedom go? If you've ever uttered the words, "There ought to be a law..." here's a message you need to hear. Laws and legislation aren't the same thing. Kent McManigal explains how legislation only creates new crime. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support
What's the big deal about living in a surveillance society? It's a bigger deal than you might think. Steve Martinot explains what the surveillance state is and how it contributes to the enslavement of a people. The phrase "build back better" is getting a lot of play these days but let's not pretend that this kind of central planning is something new. Simon Black reminds us of LBJ's war on poverty and how all that spending and government growth did nothing to solve the problem at hand. Building parallel systems is an effective way to nullify tyranny by simply withdrawing from those systems that are too oppressive. Right now, the big tech oligarchs are starting to worry about the rise of alternative media platforms and the rebel alliance. You and I are contributors to their anxiety. Keeping government within its proper boundaries requires an understanding of its proper role. Lawrence M. Vance explores the question of whether victimless crimes have victims. It's a distinction that far too many on the political right fail to grasp.

The recent COP26 climate meeting in Scotland was quite the gathering of world leaders who seem very concerned about our carbon footprints. Not concerned enough to ride bikes there or to take a sailboat but, yeah, real concerned. Connor Tomlinson asks, will this meeting simply bring us more eco-authoritarianism? Pat Buchanan also has a great recap of the climate crusade and what it may mean for the rest of us. The desire to stand against tyranny and for freedom isn't just a political itch that needs scratching. Many of us feel a distinct call to resist the tyrannical spell that has been cast over the world. One of the most impressive invitations to answer that call comes from Margaret Anna Alice in her Letter to a Colluder: Stop Enabling Tyranny. There's a lot of great information in this essay. Anybody remember Jack Phillips, the Colorado baker who was told to "bake the cake" for a same sex wedding party? Lawrence M. Vance reminds us that Jack's battle over control of his private property (his business) is still going on and seems to have been forgotten in the wake of forced vaccinations, masking, etc. Show some love to my sponsors: Monticello College Lifesaving Food (use the coupon code "HYDE" at checkout for a 20% discount) The Heather Turner Team at Patriot Home Mortgage HSL Ammo Sewing & Quilting Center Govern Your Income Solar Patriots
The California recall election took place yesterday and it appears that Gavin Newsom has survived to serve the remaining year or so of his term. Allan Stevo reports that change is coming to California, nevertheless. When public officials begin hiding from their constituencies, they're definitely reaching the end of their legitimacy. Hurrah for equality! We're drawing ever closer to the reality that everyone--including our daughters---will be required to register for the draft. Lawrence M. Vance reminds us that outrage over drafting women to send to war may be distracting us from the immorality of conscription itself. How can a sense of victimhood be used to radicalize a populace into embracing genocidal policies? Dr. Jordan Petersen explains how those who frame themselves as victims use their status as justification for rejecting right and wrong. Why would people choose to identify as a victim? Jeff Minnick explains that, for many, the siren song of victimhood is irresistible because it relieves them of any personal responsibility for changing their circumstances. He suggests throwing our victimhood in the trash.

But the growing scarcities of critical parts like microchips is signaling a real problem within our economy. Charles Hugh Smith says financial fakery isn't going to be enough to stave off the coming economic shift. It's not an exaggeration to note that America is nearly as divided as it was heading into the 1860 election. Pat Buchanan zooms out to 30,000 feet and gives a pretty accurate description of who and what is tearing the U.S. apart. When things start to seem overwhelming, don't forget that humor is a sign of light and life. Isaac Morehouse has an excellent reminder that laughter provides a boost when we need it the most. If you've ever wondered why privacy is so important, some politicians are about to provide us with an object lesson on the matter. Peter Jacobsen shares how the Treasury Department is seeking to track financial transactions of personal bank accounts over $600. Because, you know...they care about you. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support
Ever been accused of whataboutism? It's a rhetorical fallacy that tries to draw parallels between two or more incidents in order to minimize the severity of another incident. As Anthony Gill explains, it's also an indicator of some larger political and social problems. You'd think people would have started to catch on to the downsides of having so much government, especially after the heavy-handed Covid response over the past year. Why is it that so few seem able to recognize the seven deadly sins of government? Lawrence M. Vance has some answers for us. Justice is supposed to be free of political activism. That's the whole reason behind the blindfold and the scales that represent it. When the system is beholden to politics rather than justice, we're in trouble. As Ron Paul points out, the January 6 show trials are something that threaten all of us. Disruptive technology has a way of improving our lives. Case in point: Brad Polumbo has a great article on how we just got proof that Uber has saved thousands of lives. Definitely worth a read.

Each week I have the chance to visit with Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos. We discuss the efforts to keep us in fear and compliant as well as what the political class may have in store for us next. If you're serious about becoming a better thinker, reading old books is a great place to begin. Grayson Quay has an excellent essay on how great minds like Aristotle still have wisdom to impart--even if they got some things wrong at the time they were alive. Watching what's playing out in Minnesota as the jury deliberates in the trial of former officer Derek Chauvin is hardly a nail-biter. James Howard Kunstler points out how the movie follows the script and right now, the players are definitely sticking to a script of sorts. Who really won the 2020 election? Sounds like a loaded question, doesn't it? Lawrence M. Vance says, regardless of the presidential race, the big winner last year was marijuana. www.thebryanhydeshow.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

Do hate crime laws really protect anyone? Or do they pervert justice by introducing subjective criteria into our criminal justice system? Christian Watson has a principled response to why, as a black man, he opposes Georgia's new hate crime law. What is happening to our money supply? Pay close attention to how coins and cash are beginning to make an exit from our commerce. As Nicholas Anthony warns, there may be something more at play here. Authoritarian control seldom comes in one big event. It is implemented gradually and quietly so we hardly notice the restraints being placed on us. James Bovard spells out how the REAL ID act is doing this in ways we may not have noticed. Our single greatest duty as citizens is to be capable of thinking clearly and independently during times of crisis. James Howard Kunstler asks a very timely question that each of us should be considering: Is there anything about this republic that you think is worth defending? The fear factor is ramping up. Mask mandates are spreading like cancer. Is this all justified? Ron Paul points out some gaping holes in the Covid spike narrative. Looking at all of the things that people in government are telling us we must do to be "safe" and healthy, it appears that Big Brother is more of a Big Mother. Lawrence M. Vance has a fascinating comparison between the advice Mom gave us and the demands Big Mother is making of us. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support
Eric Peters from Eric Peters Autos joins us to discuss the growing division among the American people and how collectivism is feeding the flames of hatred and distrust. We also discuss the current authoritarian efforts to enact another state of lockdown. Lest we fall into the trap of taking ourselves too seriously, the Babylon Bee is reporting that Twitter has introduced a new "Send Mob" feature to better serve its users. If tyranny had a slogan, what would it be? Probably something along the lines of "words are violence." A perfect excuse to shut down free speech. With rising cases of Covid-19, (none of which have anything to do with the massive protests or riots two weeks ago) there's increasing talk about making masks in public a mandatory thing. Lawrence M. Vance has a worthwhile take on masks in a free society. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support
