This week we dug into the bag of old Blue Book cases and dug out an oldie but a goodie.  With some of the more outlandish drone reports that have been coming out of New Jersey, we noticed that there were some similarities to things that happened in Levelland, Texas in 1957.  Is it possible that the Levelland events were a test run for what we are seeing in NJ?  Who, or WHAT is behind this nonsense?thanks for listening!www.thewhtacast.comwww.patreon.com/thewhatcast

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz welcome back veteran UFO researcher Kevin D. Randle. During this episode, Randle will offer his reaction to the best-selling book, "Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs" from former Pentagon UFO official Luis Elizondo. Does the book realize its hype, or is it just another title among thousands on the subject? Randle will also continue to evaluate the key cases he's explored over the years, such as the 1947 Roswell crash and the 1957 incident at Levelland, Texas. He is seen as one of the preeminent experts on the UFO phenomenon, and is a retired lieutenant colonel who served in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot and in Iraq as a battalion intelligence officer. Randle began writing for UFO magazines and eventually moved onto books. His writing is not limited to the UFO field. He is the author of more than 100 books that cover not just UFOs, but action-adventure, mysteries, science fiction and even a vampire novel called, cleverly, VAMPYR. Randle's fact books include: Roswell in the 21st Century, Levelland, and UFOs and the Deep State.

Wealthy business owners and landlords are vilified. Yet, wealthy actors, athletes, and singers are praised. This makes zero sense. Businesses and landlords provide essential services; entertainers don't. The White House recently published a “rent control light” plan. It's a bad idea and has almost zero chance of passing a divided Congress. I critique it. Hear my in-person sit-down interview the Liberland President, Vit Jedlicka.

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. Why do people vilify wealthy business owners and landlords but praise wealthy actors and athletes? Rent control plans must be killed where the real opportunity is in today's real estate market. Then my in-person sit down interview with the president of the micro nation of Levelland today and get rich education.   Robert Syslo 00:00:27  Since 2014, the powerful Get Rich education podcast has created more passive income for people than nearly any other show in the world.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold 00:01:29  Welcome to Greece. From Dubrovnik, Croatia, to Dublin, Ohio, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold than you are inside episode 512 of get Rich education. You can set up your life so that you stop using your time to make money. Use the bank's money to make money. People come from scarcity families, just like I did with a scarcity mindset to think all debt is bad. Hang off debt won't make you wealthy. You don't build wealth. So by the time you reach age 62, you think, hey, I just paid off my last debt and now I can retire. It doesn't work that way. Well, why couldn't you retire sooner? Sheesh. So what do people mistakenly do? They end up working their whole life for people that have debt. Successful business owners and real estate investors carry debt.   Keith Weinhold 00:02:29  That's how they can own so much productivity and so many assets. And you know what's interesting here? Business owners and real estate moguls, they're the ones that often seem to be vilified, criticized, ridiculed for obtaining wealth when they took risks, took out loans and provided jobs or housing for others, yet Yet at the same time, somehow actors, athletes and singers are all praised for obtaining wealth as a performing artist. That makes zero sense. Why would you criticize a successful business owner like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos? Bezos probably made your life distinctly better by offering you convenient shopping for anything. Protein bars with a few clicks, free shipping, and pioneering drone delivery. A landlord is often vilified. Most landlords are mom and pop types that aren't even that wealthy. But even if they were, as long as they're not a slumlord, I mean, they took on risk debt, operating expenses, and being on call 24 over seven in order to provide others with housing. So with Bezos types and landlords, we're talking about taking risk to provide society with essentials like food and housing.   Keith Weinhold 00:03:58  And while the business owners get vilified baselessly performing artists like actors, athletes and singers do not. Yet they merely provide entertainment to society. Now I like entertainment and I follow sports to the NFL. Major League Baseball, the NBA. But their services are not essential. Take a movie actor. They get paid well for pretending to be somebody else. Consider how absurd that sounds. And yet they're praised for obtaining wealth from doing that. So this is really backwards. And, you know, I think that a lot of this resentment for business owners is that you can't really see what they do for you. Like, you can a performer that's on the front stage, like Beyonce or Lizzo or Taylor Swift, Business owners, real estate investors, they're on the back stage. And what an entertainer does front stage that is highly visible. I mean, that's my best guess about why this is. And a lot of the time it just comes back to these primordial human emotions like resentment and jealousy and envy. There is no reason to criticize the rich just solely for being wealthy Because deep down, it's all where we want to be.   Keith Weinhold 00:05:21  Anyway, how is Bezos bad and Lizzo good? I don't get it, but it's been that way for a while now. When you look at surveys of institutions that are most trusted over time, and it's been pretty much the same these past few decades, what's at the top of the polls are small businesses. People say that they're trusting of small businesses in your rental property. Business surely counts here. Small businesses trusted more than institutions like the media or politicians. So I encourage you on social media and wherever else to support small businesses. And it's kind of funny how friends they often might not put a like on your small business, though they say that they trust them and that they resent large businesses, you know? Then that friend turns right around and supports Apple, Coca-Cola, and Starbucks. people say they trust small business, but so often then they go patronize large businesses. Nothing wrong with patronizing large businesses, but you're just not doing what you're saying. So my point is, don't resent anyone just for financial success and consider outwardly supporting small businesses.   Keith Weinhold 00:06:40  If you indeed put a lot of trust in them yourself, just like much of America says that they do. Now, is there a movement afoot to disenfranchise big wealthy business owners or big landlords. I mean, we're talking about these very people that are resented. Well, one way is with rent control, that is capping the amount of rent that landlords can charge. Now, since Covid hit in March of 2020. Apartment rents are up 18% and single family rents are up 25%. Okay. Those are cumulative figures over this four plus year stretch. And that's actually not that much. It's about 5% a year. And now sure, political news has been like galactic big this month with the Trump shooting and the Biden drop out and the Kamala Harris endorsement as a Democratic frontrunner. And we rarely talk politics here for a few reasons. Number one, it's divisive. People lose their minds. Secondly, speculation is cheap. So much of politics is speculating on what might happen in the future. Well, there's one known here.   Keith Weinhold 00:08:01  Whether you like it or not, expect six more months of President Biden. And thirdly, politics is overblown. Its importance is inflated. A president rarely changes your life. But the good news in this is that you can your autonomy, your freedom, your decisions. You can change your life. So to put the politics aside, let's stick to a one issue subject. The white House revealed published what I call a rent control lite plan earlier this month. And to give some credit first, this the same plan it also repurposes publicly and to build more affordable housing. I sent you a link to the whole thing in our newsletter last week. Well, this rent control lite thing has almost zero chance of becoming law. VP Kamala Harris endorsed it on ex. President Trump would kill it even if it's revived under the next president. It has no realistic shot of passing a divided Congress. But let's look at this anyway. What was proposed is that if a property owner increases rent more than 5% annually, it would reduce tax incentives for large landlords.   Keith Weinhold 00:09:23  I'll tell you what large landlords are in a moment. Now, you could still increase rent by more than 5%. It would just reduce the federal tax breaks and it would have lasted for only two years. And the reason the white House put this proposal together for just two years is as a bridge to a time when more homes are expected to be built. I mean, that's the real intent here. And importantly, this all would have only applied to owners of 50 plus units. So that's mostly for apartment owners. Single family rental owners would be largely untouched, but consider how apartment owners could have lost their accelerated depreciation benefit, also known as their cost segregation. And note that I'm already talking about this rent control light proposal in the past tense, not the present tense, because this whole thing, it's just a bunch of virtue signaling to try to show that something is being done to rein in housing inflation. Well, this is really odd and awkward since the inflation came from the government in the first place.   Keith Weinhold 00:10:30  I mean, sheesh, this is like shooting someone in the foot and then trying to get praise for bandaging the victim that you just shot. Well, the federal government, they just don't do rent control on this level at all. They haven't. In fact, the feds haven't regulated rents on private buildings since World War two. So this really isn't a thing, but it just brings to light that rent control is a bad idea. It puts a cap on risk. Time after time after time. History shows us that it makes developers stop building. Now, the white House plan did have a carve out for new builds. Also, what this does is that landlords have no incentive to improve property. That's why it reduces housing supply, which is already low, and it creates long term dilapidated living conditions, like I touched on here just a couple episodes ago. But how weird to even make such an ill advised proposal. I mean, look, if government puts a price cap of $2 on a gallon of milk, then dairies will stop producing milk.   Keith Weinhold 00:11:41  Milk shelves are going to be empty. It's like in communist countries. This is why you saw photos of bread lines. When there are price controls, then manufacturers don't produce. And just the same, landlords would stop providing housing. If I didn't put a fine enough point on this yet. President Obama's top economist, Jason Furman. He probably said it best in the Washington Post. Furman says, quote, rent control has been about as disgraced as any economic policy in the toolkit. The idea that we'd be reviving and expanding it will ultimately make our housing supply problems worse, not better. End quote from President Obama's top economist 94% of economists agreed that rent control reduces quality and quantity of housing available. It is the most effective way to destroy a city. Aside from bombing it, what an ill conceived plan to regulate rents. That's rent control, but the most dangerous drinking game of 2024 that is still sipping at every mention of the interest rate lock in effect on a real estate or economics podcast. Though it's been two plus years since they made their dramatic rise.   Keith Weinhold 00:13:05  Many are still transfixed on mortgage rates. They recently hit a five month low below 7%, and a lot of people still expect mortgage rates to fall between today and next year, since inflation has now plunged from a high of 9.1% two years ago, down to 3% now, the Federal Reserve has held rates steady for more than a year now, and most don't expect any change either when they meet in two days. But be ready. Be prepared when mortgage rates fall substantially. Millions more buyers will qualify to buy a home, and this could substantially stoke housing demand and lift housing prices further. Now last week on the show, you heard gray investment coach narration. I discuss Libre land libre, land libre land. Earlier this month, I visited the exhibit hall at an event called FreedomFest. I saw the library and booth and I recognized their name, and I congratulated the people there in the booth. On that, the fact that I have heard of Liberland before, that's somewhat of a compliment to them. It shows me that they're doing something right, liberal, and is a small piece of land between Serbia and Croatia in Eastern Europe, and it apparently hasn't been claimed by any other nation for decades.   Keith Weinhold 00:14:32  The name Liberland, and I think it's easy to remember because it sounds like liberty. So that's how you pronounce it. Well, I got to talking to some of their representatives at the exhibit hall. They're all smart people, but there was no one person that had all the answers I was looking for. So I requested to speak with the president of Liberland. And about two hours later we made that happen. So today, shortly you will hear Liberland President Vit Jedlicka and I together. Now, the United Nations doesn't yet recognize Libya and all. Ask the president if other nations recognize it. Wikipedia calls liberal and a micro nation. It is seven square kilometers. That's almost three square miles. It's mostly forested. I don't believe there are any mountains there that I can see in the photos. It has Danube river frontage and just a few people there. The Danube river frontage is key because it contains an island that belongs to Leon, and also the Danube is key because it also connects to the Black Sea.   Keith Weinhold 00:15:40  And we'll see if it can be a tax free haven, which is apparently the intent. You might be able to see this working when you compare it to micro nations like Monaco and Liechtenstein. Some journalists have been skeptical about libre land. You'll see how I approach it with the president shortly. He champions laissez faire capitalism. Laissez faire means a minimal government. They're also making the new nation's laws transparent on the blockchain and an economy based on cryptocurrency. As for liberalized population, by March of this year, liberalism had 1200 registered citizens who had paid up to $10,000 for labor and passports, but fewer actually living in the nation now, working on it and building it. Neighbouring Croatia has at times been hostile and blocked off access to libre land. These past few years, you will hear some background noise in President Witte and his upcoming interview. So I ask for your attention and patience there and for all. We are in an exhibit hall at a conference. I'll just call him whit in the interview. And what does his day to day look like? He travels globally a lot, often trying to get into international diplomatic and friendship agreements.   Keith Weinhold 00:17:01  But how do you just adopt statehood out of nothing? That's what's interesting here. Now, when he describes libre land to me, you can't see it here in the audio only. But he often points to Liberty Island, an island on the Danube river that's part of Liberty. And does having a free nation mean that you have the freedom to do whatever you want on your land, or they're soon going to be hos there? I'll ask him that very question, literally. President and I coming up here shortly. First, as for more, I suppose, a familiar land here in the US. You can't make any money from the rental property that you don't own. We are here to help get you started being profitable that way. And it's free. Get some of those. Real estate pays five ways properties. Then we have access to a good number of them here at great a good variety, different property types, different geographies. But at times I'm asked where is the real estate opportunity today in this real estate market, with higher prices, higher rents normalize interest rates, higher operating expenses and low housing supply? Really the opportunity is in affordable housing.   Keith Weinhold 00:18:25  If I could just put two words to it. That's the short answer of affordable housing. Like I often say, provide housing that's clean, safe, affordable and functional in today's market really emphasizes the affordable. That's where the sustainable demand is. Since so many want to be first time homebuyers are priced out of the market currently, it's like a dam that's waiting to break once interest rates go lower compared to a year ago, America has a lower proportion of homeowners and more renters, and the renter numbers just look to keep increasing due to that low affordability. And also this surge of immigrants from the past year or so. That is why you want to own affordable rental housing now. Affordable housing really that can mean a few things in a physical form. That could mean mobile home parks, single family homes, duplexes to fourplex or larger apartment buildings, but in any case, an income producing asset. Do you know what that does for you? That's like an employee that's working for you 24 over seven and without the personality problems, and they never call in sick.   Keith Weinhold 00:19:40  And when you're looking for a property, it's easier to screen properties that it is higher in screen employees. We can help set up an entire real estate investment plan for you with properties like a couple properties. I'll detail for you here shortly. And I also sent you these property details in the second section of last week's newsletter. You also got to see a photo of one of them.

Don't quit your day dream.   Keith Weinhold 00:25:11  Hey. Welcome back to get rich action. We're talking with someone that's going to explain a different subject to us. We're talking about starting up and the potential new nation. I was the president of that nation called Libre, Leon, I was there. President Witt, welcome in. Good to meet you. It's so good to have you here. And, you know, interestingly, we met at an event called Freedom Fest. So this is potentially so parallel with that as you're looking to develop your own nation now at a place like Freedom Fest, I think we have a lot of people that have a certain set of opinions, and a lot of people at a place like Freedom Fest, where you champion ideals, would probably love to tell you how they would like changes to be made in the United States. But I think if you ask that same person, okay, what if you begin with a clean slate? How would you begin a nation anew, but you're actually trying to do that? So tell us about Libber Land.   Keith Weinhold 00:26:04  It's pretty.   Vit Jedlicka 00:26:05  Exciting to.   Robert Helms 00:26:06  Hear Kennedy.   Vit Jedlicka 00:26:07  The candidate for president, talking about his plans to utilize blockchain to make the country transparent and or functioning. Libra is, I would say, at least 5 to 10 years ahead of any other nation states. And utilizing that, we are combining the best technology that is out there with the best ideas, ideology that is out there, which is, of course, libertarianism, making sure that the society as free as possible within some framework of basic rules. So this is exactly what we're doing. And we were looking for a piece of land to manifest that in physical world. And here we go. It's so liberal and it's a beautiful piece of land between Russia and Serbia that was not claimed by any other country for more than 35 years. We came there, we struggled with like we actually took nine years to even get inside of it properly. And now we're building and living there for more than a year.   Keith Weinhold 00:26:58  So this seven square kilometer plot of land between Croatia and Serbia, that is on the Danube floodplain, you've got frontage on the Danube river, even an island and the Danube river here in this Start-Up nation, if you will, of libre land.   Keith Weinhold 00:27:14  Really, as I've come to understand it, one real goal of liberalism is just to have any nation in the world recognize it as its own sovereign nation.   Vit Jedlicka 00:27:25  We actually got a couple countries to write or sign a regular deals, like with other states. We started with Somaliland, which was at the time unrecognized country. It's fully functional. Interesting story. It's actually former Peace of Somalia, which got independence like 25 years ago. And they're fairly finally prosperous and functioning, even without any recognition by any other country in the world. Now, they got recently recognized by Ethiopia. We followed up with Haiti agreement. We were signing a couple more agreements. Right now, I'm actually heading to one of the African countries to sign some friendship agreement. So it's not that the other countries don't recognize us now. We're working hard on diplomacy. You know, we have diplomatic relations with places like El Salvador, where we were on official diplomatic visits. So, of course, traditional form of recognition is one of our priorities.   Vit Jedlicka 00:28:13  But it's not the number one priority, really. Our number one priority is to finish a very close, a whole model of statehood and utilize the 745,000 people that applied for citizenship, for really real building of the country itself and the nation.   Keith Weinhold 00:28:31  Some recognition is coming slowly, but pulling back a bigger picture. Why do this? Why take this on? Why start your own nation?   Vit Jedlicka 00:28:39  Why not? I think leading by a good example is the best way to do things like talking about liberty. I did a lot of educational work on explaining people why liberty works, but it's much better to do things in the practical terms.   Keith Weinhold 00:28:53  Now, what's interesting is, you know, we've talked about freedom and the ideals of freedom earlier. This freedom mean freedom to do whatever you want.   Vit Jedlicka 00:29:03  You know, within some boundaries, of course, as long as you don't breach other people's freedoms and you have to find the right set up. And but right now, the problem with the current society is that there are so many regulations, you don't even know what you're reaching, and you're usually not reaching anybody's property or anybody.   Vit Jedlicka 00:29:20  It's just a bunch of stupid regulations that make your life tough. You cannot do business. You cannot even help your community. It's funny what kind of stuff we are dealing with in Croatia right now. There is a mosquito calamity in the neighborhood around Libre land and the local municipality don't have money to fix it. And they also don't let us to fix it because you have to have special license for fixing it. So everybody is suffering under the mosquito calamity, which is California.   Keith Weinhold 00:29:47  Okay, so that's an example of overregulation, potentially too many laws. You just brought up one of the limits of freedom, potentially. Well, we don't want people to be able to do anything or therefore they might be.   Vit Jedlicka 00:29:57  Able to hurt or to.   Keith Weinhold 00:29:58  Harm another person, but therefore that would be some sort of of law. And then there would be some need to sort of enforce that. So how does a start up country that wants to be a free nation, you know, how do you meet needs like laws and enforcement and perhaps a judicial process.   Vit Jedlicka 00:30:16  Or do you have a standard framework for the country? There is now a newly elected Congress. It's still a test election, but it has been already elected according to all the principles that the blockchain is bringing full transparency, immutability. It happens within the split of second of the very minimal cost. So all these things are actually already happening, and the Congress will now take all the laws that were prepared by the Preparatory Committee. And only if we have the whole framework of the laws necessary to run a state. I have 250 pages of regulations, very simple framework, which already allows a society to function quite well. And I would like to keep it that way. You know, keep the Constitution at the, let's say, the 20 pages and another 230 pages of different laws that define the the ways that the society should work. And anybody basically allowed to read all the regulations in the country within one day. It's not like here, right in the US.   Keith Weinhold 00:31:10  Yes. But its population grows, is the infrastructure grows, is more complicated, needs must be met.   Keith Weinhold 00:31:16  The size of government invariably and inevitably seems to expand with all existing nations in the world. I think the UN recognizes 193 sovereign nations currently. How do you keep the size of government from expanding over the long term in Libya?   Vit Jedlicka 00:31:32  It's a challenge. Of course, but the way we keep it is the way that there is only one institution that can make new laws, and it's kind of a corporate governance of liberalism. But that governance is in check by three other institutions that can get rid of the laws. The first and most important one is public veto. So majority of citizens can veto any law or regulations that they don't like. Second one is the Constitutional Court. So the Constitutional Court looks into the law if it basically is only focused on security and justice or diplomacy, so that the state shouldn't legislate on other things, really let other things to the private sector. So the Constitutional Court strictly looks if it adheres to that. That's another important institution. Then there is something like House of Lords of liberal minded, who can also veto the laws that the corporate governance the Congress actually creates.   Vit Jedlicka 00:32:23  So one institution to make laws and three institutions to get rid of it.   Keith Weinhold 00:32:28  Else about what's there now, the natural resources, the population and the infrastructure.   Vit Jedlicka 00:32:33  Well, that's the beautiful territory with the island next to liberal land. This is part of liberal land. It's called Liberty Island. It's a long, beautiful sandy beach. Right now, the under construction, there is 24, three houses in this area. So it will be one of the third thing will be the tourism. And we need to be able to host the visitors. We are planning two major music festivals and conferences in the summer, which will take place in August and in September. Of course, you're very well invited. We want to promote the tourism in Berlin, but also in the whole region. The biggest resorts. And it's like that with any country that is prosperous around the world. Be it Hong Kong or Singapore, is not the natural resources. It's the capacity of people to freely make, trade and do business.   Keith Weinhold 00:33:20  You're right.   Keith Weinhold 00:33:20  In fact, a place like yes, Hong Kong or Singapore or even Japan itself have been exemplary of that. A place can be prosperous without having many natural resources. It's truly about the ingenuity of the people we talk about. The people tell us more about the population.   Vit Jedlicka 00:33:35  The population. Right now we've got 800,000 people, almost that sign up for citizenship, which is a huge pipeline. I think the reasonable like ideal population of Liberal would be around 140,000. So we cannot even accept everybody to physically live in liberal land because we would be so overpopulated. Right now we've got some thousand citizens and 6500 residents that basically went through the pipeline, and there is a couple dozens of people living on the territory of liberal lands and working and building stuff. So it's kind of fun to see that initial development. very early into the development. There is still a quite a bit of obstacles to really speed up the development of the brand, mainly installed by Croatia, but we're very happy that after all these years we're able to actually be there physically and develop stuff.   Vit Jedlicka 00:34:23  So we're building a small hospital. There are seven construction workers that take care of it. We're also building the Treehouse resort. There is another ten guys working on that, and that there is a bunch of people that came to settle and they're helping with some stuff for the site. And then there is around 150 people that live around Liberal and that are connected and are supporting the movement. Well.   Keith Weinhold 00:34:44  Now we're a real estate platform. We're going to have both public land and privately.   Vit Jedlicka 00:34:50  Every land is private, in a sense. In labor land. The deal is that right now, people can actually come to the land and claim piece of land if they have enough merit. There is are the the shares of liberal land and can actually not even exchange them if they just have them. They have the right to settle things for fun, which is kind of exciting even though there are all these obstacles. But we're helping people to get over them and get the development of the country going as fast as possible.   Keith Weinhold 00:35:16  Can a person purchase merits or purchase land in labor land right now?   Vit Jedlicka 00:35:21  Anybody that donates to Libre land on the website gets the merits.   Keith Weinhold 00:35:26  Are there going to be things like Hoa's in Libre land? Is that something that you foresee? What is actually homeowners associations where you have neighborhoods and boards in those neighborhoods where you know they need to approve of things like, hey, you can only paint your home for different colors, and you need to mow your grass within every two weeks.   Vit Jedlicka 00:35:46  Well, that surely there will be different types of associations and liberal. We're not going to force one or the other type. This property development here on Liberty Island, the three houses and this area will be kind of association of sort. We want to have 24 people that that invest into the tree house, and they would act as a community. They will help each other, but they will also have the place to visitors. To really make sure that we have a good initial settlement for the permanent population. And I would like every single one of these guys to like some nice story behind how they came to live and then why they're building a house there. We want to make a reality TV show out of it as soon as possible as well.   Keith Weinhold 00:36:28  What about currency? The euro is used in the area. But you mentioned blockchain earlier, and I don't think you plan on using the euro in liberally. Tell us about that. We don't do.   Vit Jedlicka 00:36:38  That. We use liberal and dolar. We use liberal and merit. Those are the main currencies that are tied with our blockchain. And the pound dollar was launched on exchanges three months ago, reading quite nicely, steadily at 2 USD per $1 billion. So this is like also demanded currency by our suppliers.   Keith Weinhold 00:36:56  Is it a cryptocurrency? Yes.   Vit Jedlicka 00:36:58  It's just my own currency of our blockchain. Our blockchain is standalone. It's not depending on any other blockchain. Our citizens are the one ones that securely network and run the network. They run the servers. Every single citizen in Lebanon has the right to run the run the network. That's kind of all we know. We're not really being dependent on any other network like Ethereum or Polkadot. We are simply running our own thing with its own main token. The main token is liberal dollar, but the main political token is liberal and varied, and that also comes with the political voting rights.   Keith Weinhold 00:37:32  Do you foresee there being a future rental property market on libre land?   Vit Jedlicka 00:37:39  Oh, of course, of all these, all these three houses are meant to be for rental for bigger events or team building. So this is something that is happening right now, and I wish we could have at least, you know, 50 bedrooms there by the end of summer.   Keith Weinhold 00:37:54  You know, we talked about how society might work on liberally, and why don't we pull back a bit more and talk about that physical geography, because you chose an area that's basically on the Danube floodplain. So it's probably pretty fertile and it's near some other populated nations. But of course, there are some areas of the world that no one else is claiming. Tell us about how you chose this area over. All the others in the.   Vit Jedlicka 00:38:16  Area was in the most reasonable place, I would say, between the two countries that had war, and they learned to sort out things in a peaceful way. And, you know, Antarctica is also on claim, but you don't want to stay there.   Vit Jedlicka 00:38:27  It's for freezing, right? This particular place is heart shaped. It's seven square kilometers. It was a culturally similar environment to where I was born, so I was considering it as a perfect place to start. And you can fit.   Keith Weinhold 00:38:39  You can get all four seasons in Libre land. What else should one know about Libre land that they come approach you with questions about what do people really want to hear about?   Vit Jedlicka 00:38:50  They of course are interested in the sport. They want to see how what kind of utility does it have? They're a bunch of countries where you can use it to get in and out, which is kind of cool. But the main utility for Americans, for example, is that they use it on crypto exchanges, or they use it with different financial institutions as a second passport. If the US passport is not good for that, it's a great membership club, you know, in the country that is just being born. And and it's a great social gathering. Think about this. 35,000 Americans that sign up for citizenship as well.   Vit Jedlicka 00:39:22  We've got a small consulate in every bigger state, or at least a representative person. The branch, for example, here is representing liberals in Washington, D.C. so we've got a nice network of nice guys all around the place, and then a potential big supportive network with all of these people that sign up for citizenship.   Keith Weinhold 00:39:41  Now, how do you get the word out about libertarians so that people can get interested? Of course, we are an example of this right now, as our audience is learning about liberal land and the pros and cons of this concept of a potential condition. How do others learn about it?   Vit Jedlicka 00:39:55  There were articles written in Liberal, and I believe in more than 40,000 different medias actually, so we were pretty heavily covered in past. I believe more than 1 or 2 billion people learned about it through the media outreach, but the word is also spreading from person to person. Like people like it. They get on board their friends, their families. It's kind of exciting to see that.   Keith Weinhold 00:40:18  What about the language in the culture that you see developing here? Will it feel European just based on its geographic proximity? Is that what you foresee, or does it have more to do with where the inhabitants come from?   Vit Jedlicka 00:40:31  The English, of course, is number one language, but we are also developing liberal English out of all the mistakes that we make in English, that makes the language a little bit difficult to learn and understand.   Keith Weinhold 00:40:41  Americans have to learn English.   Vit Jedlicka 00:40:43  We've got a quite nice culture there, which is, of course mixture of the local Slavic culture with this international make sense nowadays, people, a lot of people from Scandinavia that are moving in. I think we've got a very good German group now coming. There is quite a few Americans that are being involved. It's quite difficult, for example, for Americans to stay liberal. And right now we have to improve our relationship with Croatia because Americans are being banned from actually, for some strange reason.   Keith Weinhold 00:41:15  Okay, still some antagonism with your neighbor Croatia. That's kind of.   Vit Jedlicka 00:41:20  The situation.   Keith Weinhold 00:41:20  In Croatia has created some access problems as well. Tell us about that.   Vit Jedlicka 00:41:25  Well, there's been solved. Last year we when we we we came in to liberalize with more than 60 people at the same time. So they had no means of preventing that access. And since that time actually have free entry in an hour of liberalized. We have a small border crossing there with the with the Croatian police and kind of agreement that we can pass in and out, which is nice.   Keith Weinhold 00:41:46  Try to keep things smooth with Croatia there on the one side of Liberal and here this new Start-Up nation. And we're talking with president Vit here of Liberal. And are there any last things that people need to know about liberalism before I ask how they can go to your website and learn more? Are there any just other last things I think we should know?   Vit Jedlicka 00:42:05  It's a great opportunity to visit now with these two festivals. Those are nice social gatherings. It's the floating metal festival in August. That's the way.   Keith Weinhold 00:42:14  Man. Like the Burning Man.   Vit Jedlicka 00:42:15  Yeah, about the float. That's floating, man. Because we're on Danube. And then there is the Liverpool Echo, which is a major international festival that has moved on this year, which is based on an article, a famous Mexican festival that will be a probably the biggest cultural event this year.   Keith Weinhold 00:42:33  Well, literally. And be a success if it is a net exporter rather than a net importer, because it's difficult to have sectors for everything from industry to agriculture in Beyblade.   Vit Jedlicka 00:42:46  Well, our biggest export is freedom. Ideas like it's like Chile spreading like wildfire. think about it. Like for two months we had the biggest immigration in the world. We go to the United States, where there was more people applying for citizenship of liberal. And then there were applicants for green cards in the United States. The idea itself, it's something that the time has come. There is amazing interest in building new countries, building free countries. And right now I can see that we are on the right track when people like Canada are pushing for transparency through blockchain, because we know what they are talking about. We have already done it and we are applying it in the real world.   Keith Weinhold 00:43:24  Well, it's an interesting experiment in this way. You, the listener of the viewer, you can follow it as an experiment, as an example of what to not do or what to do as live land develops. Why don't you let our audience know how they can learn more about it?   Vit Jedlicka 00:43:42  Fairly easy to apply for citizenship.   Vit Jedlicka 00:43:44  You can first become your resident and then come and help some different means. Or you just directly go for the citizenship. It's an investment of $10,000 or donation of $10,000. And you become a member of of our community with the passport and with the right contacts to the right people. That will really help you to get the best out of the community.   Keith Weinhold 00:44:04  Well, I don't have a great chat with a national president every day, but I sure did today. Thanks so much for your time. It's been interesting learning about liberalism. Thank you very much.   Vit Jedlicka 00:44:15  Made me think UK and I hope to see you a liberal one.   Keith Weinhold 00:44:17  Maybe you will. It sounds like a donation of ten K gets you a liberal and passport. Like I said earlier, as of March 1200 people had paid up to that amount for the passport. Music festivals and conferences in Libya. In the next few months, that could be a way to check it out. Now, it's certainly something I'd need to know more about before I could either endorse it or reject it.   Keith Weinhold 00:44:48  Citizenship in Libya planned to get more of the skeptic side. The criticism I would visit the Libyan Wikipedia page and get ready for some dismissal of its diplomatic recognition there. Then you can visit Libre Land Oregon, learn more about citizenship status, the passport actually helping with the construction of the territory and earning libre land merits, which is a cryptocurrency.

Come along for the strange case of the Levelland Lights! You can find all of our wonderful links on the linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts The Levelland UFO case is one of the most well-known and well-documented UFO sightings in the United States, occurring on the night of November 2-3, 1957, near Levelland, Texas. The event involved multiple sightings of a glowing, egg-shaped or disc-shaped object, which was reported to interfere with the electrical systems of vehicles. Here are the key details: Background and Sightings Initial Reports: The first report came from Pedro Saucedo and Joe Salaz, who were driving near Levelland when they saw a blue flash of light and their truck's engine died. They observed a glowing object that approached their vehicle and caused the engine to fail and the headlights to go out. After the object flew away, the truck started again. Subsequent Reports: Throughout the night, several other motorists reported similar encounters. In each case, a bright light or object approached their vehicles, causing the engines to stall and lights to go out. The vehicles started functioning normally once the object moved away. These reports came from various locations around Levelland, indicating the object covered a significant area. Descriptions: Witnesses described the object as egg-shaped or disc-shaped, glowing brightly, and sometimes changing colors. The estimated size varied, but it was generally described as large. Investigation Local Authorities: The Levelland police department received multiple calls from concerned motorists. Officers who investigated some of the locations found no physical evidence but took the reports seriously due to the consistency and number of witnesses. US Air Force: The Air Force sent investigators from Project Blue Book, its official UFO investigation program. They initially explained the sightings as being caused by ball lightning or an electrical phenomenon known as St. Elmo's fire. This explanation was widely criticized, as ball lightning is a rare and poorly understood phenomenon, and the duration and behavior of the sightings did not match typical ball lightning descriptions. Skeptical Explanations: Skeptics have proposed alternative explanations, such as atmospheric phenomena, psychological factors (like mass hysteria), and the possibility that the reports were exaggerated or misinterpreted. Some also suggested the sightings could have been a result of pranksters taking advantage of the initial reports to create more sightings. Legacy Cultural Impact: The Levelland sightings became a significant case in UFO lore, often cited by both believers and skeptics. It remains one of the most intriguing cases due to the multiple independent witnesses and the physical effects reported. Ongoing Debate: The case is still discussed in UFO research circles and has been featured in various books, documentaries, and articles. It continues to be a point of reference in debates over the existence of UFOs and extraterrestrial life. The Levelland UFO case remains a mysterious event with no definitive explanation, contributing to the enduring interest in UFO phenomena.

In 2001, Chris Elliott signed up for a banjo class at South Plains College in Levelland, Texas, which happened to be taught by legendary banjo player Alan Munde, and he hasn't looked back since. After playing in various string bands over the years, such as Spring Creek, Chain Station, and Ragged Union, he had an idea to put the banjo in a specific configuration – a trio that included banjo, percussion, and electric bass. Elliott now has a trio including a banjo, played by himself; a banjo bass, played by Kyle Ussery; and a banjo drum kit, played by Chris Sheldon.Stay tuned to the end of the episode to hear host Jamie Lammers announce the winner of the 2024 Poetry Contest!

From technological advances in things we're familiar with, like cameras and license plate readers, to newer developments like drones and artificial intelligence, police departments have more tools than ever with which to operate. North Richland Hills police Chief Mike Young says most of the available tools weren't even a thought when he entered law enforcement nearly 40 years ago. Levelland police Chief Albert Garcia, the president of the Texas Police Chiefs Association, explains how departments statewide strike the balance between safety and privacy. And ACLU of Texas staff attorney Savannah Kumar shares concerns that technology will advance faster than lawmakers can keep up with regulating it.

The paranormal comedy podcast where we probe the 1957 Levelland UFO. This case is renowned by ufologist's as one of the most credible UFO sightings of all time due to the number of independent witnesses and the number of reliable witnesses, involved. Those witnesses include officers of the law and we are about to discover what an officer of the law called to investigate a UFO does when they get there and discover that there is indeed a UFO. Alongside that we ponder what the most unusual/unsafe animal to ever be sent in to space has been… Is a car cutting out a sign of extraterrestrial activity and has Mr Moonwalker been abducted many, many times? I think we know the answer on that one. We also theorise as to whether balls were involved with this one. Anyway… We don't have time for that science BS, we get straight to the truth.

We've got that Friday feeling as we're talking about Lincoln's new President and trajectory. We also cover a great collab to get techs into service bays, as well as a brand new electric motorcycle. Lincoln's new president, Dianne Craig, is ready to revitalize the luxury brand by refocusing its EV strategy, updating products to attract customers, and reducing its dealer network.  Craig emphasizes the need for exclusive Lincoln dealerships, acknowledging that the current 637 dealer network is too large and is making a push for less dual branded stores w FordCraig declined to say how many stores the brand should have but suggested it could be around 356, the number of dealers who have signed up for Lincoln's electric vehicle certification program.Craig said "No declarations on how many or confirming what was stated in the past," she said. "It's not my focus. My focus isn't on the timing or how many; it's making sure we get the EVs right."According to NADA 39,000 new service techs graduate from U.S. technical colleges and training programs every year…. but industry needs 76,000 to replace those who quit or retire. That's why a new collaboration between NADA and the Urban League is so timely as the new pilot initiative aims to recruit, train, and place minority technicians in apprenticeship roles at local dealershipsHand selected candidates will begin with a 4 week professional and life skills training program provided by the Urban League of Louisiana, then will shadow service personnel at participating dealerships while studying automotive technology at local community collegesThe program lasts 18 months and includes ASE and OEM certifications. Upon completion, the trained mechanics will work at dealerships as technician apprentices.“This pilot program is the first step in what we hope will one day be a national program to recruit, train and place trained technicians in dealerships across the country,” says the NADA foundation's chairwoman Annette Sykora, owner of Smith Auto Family in Levelland, TXWe talk about EVs a lot, but now that Spring is here and all those motorcycles are starting to come out, we wanted to show some love and talk about the new electric motorcycles by Harley Davidson spinoff, LiveWire It's the first bike fully developed after the split and does 0-60 in 3.1, has a range of about 100 miles, and fully charges in 30 mins at level 3 and 75 mins at level 2Comes in just under $16k w deliveries expected in JulyThe journalist/enthusiast who test drove it for the article loved itGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

Cattle mutilation (also known as bovine excision and unexplained livestock death, or animal mutilation) is the killing and mutilation of cattle under unusual, usually bloodless circumstances. This phenomenon has been observed among wild animals as well. Worldwide, sheep, horses, goats, pigs, rabbits, cats, dogs, bison, deer and elk have been reported mutilated with similar bloodless excisions; often an ear, eyeball, jaw flesh, tongue, lymph nodes, genitals and rectum are removed. Since the first reports of animal mutilations, various explanations have been offered, ranging from natural decomposition and normal predation to cults and secretive governmental and military agencies, to a range of speculations, including cryptid predators (like the chupacabra) and extraterrestrials. Mutilations have been the subject of two independent federal investigations in the United States.

In this week's unsolved homicide case, a 22-year-old Hispanic man named Johnny Raymond Resendez, was murdered in Levelland, Texas on March 7, 1993. A witness was present when he was killed. It was Jessica Alvarado, his 6-year-old daughter. Johnny Raymond Resendez was born on June 14, 1967. The former convict had every intention of staying out of trouble once he was released. He had told his family that he deeply regretted getting into legal trouble. After being released, he vowed to be a responsible father to Jessica. During the early morning hours of March 7, 1993, Johnny and some family members, including Jessica, drove to a business called Darrell's Place to buy alcohol. While there, he got into an argument with a black male. Johnny was stabbed to death in front of his daughter. The killer then drove off in a silver and black pickup truck. Jessica is still heartbroken over the loss of her father. And the image of him being stabbed to death has never left her mind. She is now a mother and is devastated that her children will never meet their grandfather.

Heard weekly on Coast to Coast AM, he recently released a new work called LEVELLAND that chronicles one of the strangest UFO encounters from 1957 in Levelland, Texas.  Ok. All UFO encounters are strange. And let's be honest: a UFO encounter from 1957...very strange!  But it gets weirder. This one's about a UFO that's shaped like a glowing orange egg.  And there are similar sightings of these things from all over the world. Kevin brings new data to the case in his book and joins Greg on Open Loops to discuss this case. as well as the truth about Antarctica and Deep Underground Military Bases, Project Blue Book, Bob Lazar, Roswell, and the Majestic 12.  Does the government have alien bodies?

November 1957 and strange things are afoot in the Texan town of Levelland. What happened here clearly shows us that even at this point the US Government and the USAF were clearly engaged in a concerted effort to supprress the situation.  Despite numerous witnesses, clear sightings, cars and radios stalled and full of static, alleged landing sites and more were dismissed and deemed as irrelevant by the authorities and Project Blue Book.  Shedding light on this remarkable case is esteemed ufologist and researcher Kevin Randle. We discuss the case as well as diving into the Socorro case and Roswell. Kevin is someone who I've wanted to speak with for a long time so I was delighted to finally have the opportunity to finally speak with him.

On November 2, 1957, Pedro Saucedo reported a glowing, egg-shaped craft approached his car, stalling the engine and dimming the headlights. His report to the Levelland, Texas, police was met with disbelief. Over the next two hours, many others independently reported the same thing; the close approach of a glowing object that affected the operation of their cars. Hockley County Sheriff Weir Clem finally went in search of the UFO. He found it. Within days the Air Force dispatched a sergeant to investigate. He spoke to only six people, spent seven hours in Levelland, and then returned to his home station in Colorado. The Air Force announced that the Levelland sightings were the result of ball lightning. There were very few who were satisfied with the Air Force investigation or their explanation for the sightings. The Levelland sightings were not the first in which electromagnetic effects were reported. In 1909 a motorcycle rider reported his headlight failed as a globular light passed overhead. Since then, there have been a thousand such reports of the UFO interacting with the environment including stalling car engines, but interference with radio and television signals, and causing compasses to spin. In Levelland, Kevin Randle covers the whole spectrum of electromagnetic effects with the emphasis on those sightings in the American southwest in the late fall of 1957. He demonstrates how the Air Force failed in their mission and discovers new evidence about the Air Force participation in a secret investigation. Levelland proves that the Air Force investigation was a sham, controlled by the government to conceal the true nature of the UFO phenomenon. A complete study of these sorts of cases would have altered the discussion, but those outside forces, aided by a media too sophisticated to believe in alien visitation, have managed to hide the truth and evade the tough questions. Levelland is one of those cases that should have provided good answers in 1957. It is only now that those answers have been offered.
