Dan from Pirate Chain joins the show to break down what makes Pirate Chain the most private cryptocurrency by any objective measure, what is coming with the new Unified Light Wallet, and why the project avoided the Zcash Orchard vulnerability entirely. Firo project steward Ruben Yap also weighs in with a detailed and honest breakdown of what actually happened with the Zcash exploit and what it means for the future of privacy protocol design. Sal and Mark also get into Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire, why the left fundamentally misunderstands wealth, and the economics of hoarding money in a way that will make your head spin. Then the show pivots to a genuinely alarming development: the UK's sweeping social media ban requiring facial recognition, banking data, or ID to access platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Sal and Mark break down why this has nothing to do with protecting children and everything to do with building a digital ID infrastructure for mass surveillance, and what tools you can use right now to fight back.

Jay Noone has built something most people only talk about: a real community of like minded families on a working farm in New Hampshire, where kids learn blacksmithing, animal butchering, diesel mechanics, and how to carry themselves as competent, self reliant people. Mark Edge caught up with Jay to talk about what it actually looks like to live free, from the nuts and bolts of homesteading to the deeper philosophy behind raising the next generation of useful, valuable, and competent people. They get into why New Hampshire's oversized legislature makes it nearly impossible to buy politicians, why useful, valuable, and competent people don't need government, and what vehicles you want when the grid goes down. Jay also breaks down Mancamp, his homeschool co-op which is also happening the week of PorcFest, where families come together to learn real world skills on the farm.

Mark is in Costa Rica, so Sal Mayweather and Free Talk Live veteran Wayne Quinn hold it down for a packed episode covering everything from the Zcash exploit to the future of financial privacy. Vic, CEO of CakeWallet, joins the show to break down the recent attacks on Zcash and ThorChain, why AI finding crypto exploits is actually a good thing, and what the Clarity Act could mean for self custody and open source development. He also gives a first look at Cupcake, CakeWallet's air gapped signing device that turns your old phone into a hardware wallet, and teases a brand new secret project dropping July 7th. Mark's interview with Andrew Heaton, author of Tribalism Is Dumb, rounds out the episode with a sharp and genuinely funny breakdown of why humans are wired for tribalism, how social media made it worse, and why AI might actually help dial it back. Sal also runs the Agorist segment, covering how to use privacy coins like Monero, Firo, Pirate Chain, and Zano for gray market trades and how to build real operational security in a world that is watching everything.

This week we begin one of the most fascinating—and challenging—sections in Unfinished Tales: The History of Galadriel and Celeborn. Christopher Tolkien takes us through the many different versions of Galadriel's story, exploring how his father's ideas about her changed over time. Along the way, we'll revisit the early history of the Elves, the rebellion of the Noldor, and the events that led Galadriel to leave Valinor for Middle-earth. Why did she go? Why didn't she return? As it turns out, the answer depends on which version of the story you're reading! Join us as we dive into the complicated, contradictory, and endlessly fascinating history of one of Tolkien's greatest characters.Want more Sisters of the Shire?https://linktr.ee/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/sistersoftheshirepodcast/https://www.patreon.com/sistersoftheshirepodcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/1HIhmdeX6761vi7RyOjl8f?si=_qwdGdP7SbmAP2RWlji54w

Could a Nonprofit Prison Actually Fix Corrections in America? Brian Koehn spent 28 years as a warden in private corrections, running five facilities and overseeing security at 65 more. Now he's building Social Purpose Corrections, a nonprofit prison model that doesn't exist anywhere else in the US, designed to fix the incentives that keep the system broken. Mark Edge talks with Brian about why correctional officer turnover is the root cause behind almost every failure in American prisons, why "hard on crime" wins elections but makes outcomes worse, and why the real recidivism numbers are nowhere close to what most states report. They also get into the case for "smart on crime" over "hard on crime," and why Brian, having actually run the system, sees a distinction that matters more than most politicians want to admit.

Mark Edge reconnects with Carter Feldman, Founder and CEO of Psy Protocol, a new proof-of-work blockchain that promises to solve the impossible triangle of scalability, decentralization, and privacy all at once. Carter breaks down how Psy uses recursive zero-knowledge proofs to process transactions privately at internet scale, hitting 500,000 transactions per second on testnet before even launching publicly. They also explore how Psy allows users to prove compliance without revealing their identity, giving people privacy without compromise. Still in private beta, but a public launch is coming soon.

Mark Edge catches up with Dennis Pratt, co-owner of the Independence Inn in Stratford, New Hampshire, to make the case for why libertarians should stop talking and start moving. Dennis breaks down what the Free State Project has built in New Hampshire — 300 liberty groups, eight Liberty Clubhouses, and a thriving community of porcupines — and how the Independence Inn serves as a way station for visitors and new movers alike, with discounted stays to help people explore the libertarian homeland before committing to a move.

Mark Edge charts new waters with Joe Quirk, Seavangelist and President of The Seasteading Institute and author of Seasteading: How Floating Nations Will Restore the Environment, Enrich the Poor, Cure the Sick, and Liberate Humanity from Politicians, for a wide ranging conversation about why libertarians have won all the arguments but still can't change anything — and why seasteading might be the technology that actually puts the state out of business. They cover Joe's unlikely conversion from left-wing radical to voluntaryist, the current state of seastead technology from ArkPad to Ocean Builders to LiberArx, jurisdictional freedoms at sea, the wild story of Chad and Nadia being hunted by the Thai Navy, and why freeing your mind might be the most important first step to freedom.

In this episode of Ave Explores: Catholicism in Literature, Katie sits down with Kaitlyn Facista and Andrew Swafford to discuss the enduring legacy of two of Christianity's greatest storytellers, C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. Facista, author of _Into the Heart of Middle-earth and founder of Tea with Tolkien, shares how Tolkien's works played a significant role in her conversion to Catholicism. Drawn into Middle-earth by its unforgettable heroes and villains, she discovered profound lessons about virtue, vice, courage, and sacrifice. In a culture hungry for authentic examples of goodness and bravery, Tolkien's stories continue to awaken the heart and point readers toward truth. Swafford reflects on encountering Tolkien later in life while reading The Lord of the Rings with his children. Those family readings sparked rich conversations, nurtured their spiritual imaginations, and created opportunities for catechesis. He also discusses introducing students at Benedictine College to Lewis's Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Great Divorce, marveling at Lewis's ability to reach students of every background and faith. Through imagination and story, Lewis demonstrates how art and literature can communicate truths that might otherwise remain hidden. Journey through the wardrobe and wander into the Shire for an inspiring conversation about faith, imagination, and the transformative power of great stories.

The DepartureIt took us way longer than expected, but eventually Larry and I left Colorado to return home.Or at least, that was the plan.The land ownership was finally settled, all the documents were registered, officiated, finalized and everything was now in our names. Other people no longer had a footing or claim to the land or anything they had abandoned there.We had three major structures (including a vehicle) removed from the land, cutting off the negative energy cords they had anchored there.I woke up one day to find that Larry was removing water tanks, packing generators, tools and plants.Okidoki, I thought. This is it. We are leaving.A few hours later, we started the GPS and it said, 19 hours to Port Angeles. We discussed where we might stop, how many hours we would drive that day and we left. We came to a grinding stop a few yards outside of the property… OMG, we had left Chinook tied up in the shade in the sand castle! Our giant, white, hard-to-miss Maremmano-Abruzzese dog. We re-checked everything again, loaded our love bug onto the truck and set off yet again.We wanted to get north of Salt Lake City on the first day, which we did. We actually stayed at a Cabelas' carpark, and there was a bit of grass next to us. The dogs sniffed it, laid down on it and went to sleep. They had missed the grass.Everything was good, we had driven the rest of the day and had found a great place to park.The next day, we found a restaurant that opened for breakfast at 7:30am. We walked over and found it to be both beautiful and high-frequency. The food was also amazing. After breakfast, our plan was to drive all day and get to Eastern Washington.But when we got back in the car and started the map, it showed us we still had 17 hours left. How could this be? It was so confusing, we had driven a long way the previous day.We sighed and started the drive again. It is not like this is the first time we had missing time in our travels.In fact, as the journey unfolded, Larry and I started comparing notes with earlier trips and noticing some very strange patterns. We will explore those more deeply in the podcast.Again, we drove all day. We veered north. The time on the GPS looked very similar to the Oregon route. We found an amazing National Forest camping ground and after some chopping of wood, walking the dogs and dinner, we went to sleep.The next day the story repeated. Instead of the 8 hours left that the GPS had told us the previous night, we had 14!OK, this was odd, weird and strange. Larry decided to find a physical map to check our journey on. There was a large map outside an information stop in Lolo, Montana. Yup, you guessed it. We still had 14 hours left to get home. At that point we stopped trying to make sense of it and simply kept driving.We can discard it all with bad planning or failing GPS directions. But this became even stranger.When we left Lolo, the GPS said to go north to Moscow and Coeur d'Alene. I was a bit confused by this, but we followed the instructions. As I was looking at the gps trying to figure out how far we were so we could stop for food there, I looked up and saw a notice saying “Welcome to Washington”. And, as I pointed it out to Larry asking him when we had stopped going north (he said we had not), I looked down to the map and saw our dot move from the road north, to one going west. Not only that, but it was well within Washington.Hmm, OK, we thought. And looked around us. Endless green fields stretched to the horizon. Strong grasses rolled in the wind like waves on an ocean. Here and there sat seriously beautiful farmhouse compounds surrounded by trees, barns and silence. It felt less like driving through a place and more like moving through a painting.Again, we drove all day. Nothing changed. The fields seemed to go forever. It does not take all day to drive across Washington State. Yet, at the end of the day, just as the green fields turned to desert, we found a campground in Wanapum Recreation Area. Yes, Still eastern washington.The next day we did manage to get close to home! You got it. We drove all day and managed to get past Port Angeles, where we camped for the evening in our shared land, Fossil Beach, where our friends were waiting.When we finally did get home, the next day, we felt very different from when we had left, different from who we had been in Colorado, and different again from who we had been on the road home. The locations themselves no longer seemed important. It was like we had never left home at all. Or more like all of it was home.Which makes me wonder. Bilbo eventually returned to the Shire. So did we. But whether either of us ever truly left home, the road, or the destination is another question entirely.And no, we didn't bring home a ring to rule them all, but we did bring a truck full of quartz crystals.On this week's Wisdom Keepers Hour, we will share photographs, videos, and reflections from the journey home. Our panelists will also compare their own return journeys and help us explore a question we still cannot fully answer:How do you drive for days and somehow remain inside the same stretch of road?The discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

Mark Edge speaks with Eric Brakey, Executive Director of the Free State Project, at the Libertarian National Convention about why concentrating libertarians in one state is producing real, measurable wins — while national third-party politics keeps spinning its wheels. They cover the culture of accomplishment over endless philosophical debates, New Hampshire's unique citizen legislature, the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance's scorecard system, and why the Free State may be libertarianism's best shot at lasting change.

Sal and Mark are back for episode six, fresh off a month of travels — Bitcoin Vegas, Consensus Miami, and BCH Bliss in Slovenia. Before diving in, Sal recounts his wild Homeland Security detainment at Tampa Airport — arrested for weed on the jetway. The guys break down the chaos at the Libertarian National Convention in Grand Rapids — rubber chickens, stolen pamphlets, a gnarly slap, and the disaffiliation of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire — and contrast it with what the Agorists are actually building. Then, Sal's full speech from BCH Bliss on how to truly privatize your Bitcoin Cash using Cash Fusion, BCHX, Edge Wallet, and Nym. Followed by a deep dive interview with Alan from Quai Network — a scalable proof of work blockchain with smart contracts, a dual token system, merge mining, and a flat coin tied to the price of energy.

Whites are dying. It's not an accident and the only crime is noticing. Frank Wright is a traditional Catholic and lives in the Shire in England with his wife, children and mother in law. He is 52 years old, and he writes about how and why our mass culture was made on his Substack - and the Christian civilization and religion it sought and failed to replace. In addition, he does broadcasts and journalism for LifeSiteNews. He has a new documentary series launching this week, called The State We Are In - which you can find on LifeSiteNews and on his Substack. In it, he explains how our economic and political system was created to replace everything with itself - in a revolution which has produced a crisis in the Church and State we inhabit today. He has a small dog called Bertie and loves hedgehogs and red squirrels.

In this episode of the Mark Edge Show, Mark sits down with comedian and author Andrew Heaton to discuss his new book, Tribalism is Dumb: Where It Came From, How It Got So Bad, and What to Do About It — a book Mark calls the best he's read in a decade. Blending Douglas Adams-style wit with serious anthropological and evolutionary research, Heaton explains why humans are innately tribal, why political parties have become the "last tribe standing" as other community and identity groups have eroded, and why technology — especially social media — is likely the real culprit behind the last two decades of escalating partisanship. The conversation also digs into the difference between authoritarian and pluralist impulses, why the left-right axis fails to capture what's actually going on in politics, and why politics brings out the worst in people when it becomes a replacement religion. Grab Tribalism is Dumb on Amazon or Audible (the audiobook is performed by Heaton himself and highly recommended). #markedge #markedgeshow

Through overcharging, excessive sentencing, and inconsistent enforcement, IAN FREEMAN is being unjustly prosecuted for standing up for financial privacy. The government has targeted Ian for his role in promoting financial privacy through cryptocurrency, with made-up charges built on false narratives. His case represents a dangerous precedent: if we allow this to happen, anyone who advocates for privacy and decentralized financial systems could be next.

Four years?! Somehow we've been talking about Tolkien long enough to celebrate another podcast birthday, and this year we're marking the occasion with a special bonus episode! Join us as we share our first-ever reactions to The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim—the moments we loved, the things that surprised us, and a few thoughts that may or may not change after future rewatches. Fair warning: we intentionally recorded before diving into timelines, lore deep-dives, or research, so these are our completely unfiltered first impressions. Then the celebration continues with a Tolkien-themed game of Jeopardy! Play along with us and see if you can beat our scores. Bonus points if you immediately knew the answer to Abi's tricky question that we absolutely could not remember in the moment. Thank you for spending the last four years journeying through Middle-earth with us—we couldn't have done it without you!P.S. Ashley would like the record to show that she is aware that Thengel was Théoden's father, not his grandfather. (He was Éowyn's grandfather, which is where the wires got crossed.) Sorry!

30 million Americans are eligible to have their criminal records cleared — but less than 10% ever do. Why? Mark Edge sits down with Dr. Sheena Meade, CEO of the Clean Slate Initiative, at the Libertarian National Convention to talk about one of the most overlooked injustices in America: the invisible cage of a permanent record. With 1 in 3 Americans carrying an arrest or conviction, and over $460 billion in lost wages tied to background check barriers, the stakes couldn't be higher. The Clean Slate Initiative is automating the record-clearance process — no lawyers, no fees, no bureaucratic red tape — for people who are already eligible under existing law and have remained crime-free. They've already opened a pathway for over 18 million people across 13 states and D.C., and are pushing for a federal solution with bipartisan support.

Chapter Three: Time, Quartz Hills and ResolutionTrash and quartz can exist within the same geography… if we let it.Today, I want to talk about time. Time, to me, is the movement of objects through space. As we witness movement, we call this “time”. A clock does not depict time, it depicts movements of its arms around the clock face. The movement of objects through space.The reason I am talking about time is that our stay at our Reservoir of Power has been clocked by movement of objects and people.But when objects start appearing and disappearing from space, or spaces that were not there before, suddenly are, we can no longer ignore that when we say “yes” to a Gaia and high-frequency human collective request, things are going to step out of time and into the realm of conscious co-creation.OK, the above might sound a bit cryptic, so let me tell you what has been happening, and you can share your own conclusions around it during our Friday Meetup for Driving To The Rez.Our guests as well as our Olympic Peninsula tribe and the co-conspirators in my Birthday Party Celebration, left Colorado and went home. Some went home via long routes to other locations, but eventually they all got there. Suddenly, there was silence in the land, coffee for two instead of twenty, desert birds singing instead of laughter.The silence after everyone left was enormous.For days the land had been full of movement. Music, generators, conversations, shovels, laughter, vehicles arriving and leaving, people cooking, people in discussion, people hugging, people working. And then suddenly there were only the two of us, our three dogs, the wind, and whatever remained behind after the gathering dispersed.Even the Reservoir of Power itself felt different. Larger somehow.It is weeks later now and Larry and I are still at the land, which does not feel exactly like home, but not exactly away from home either.I knew, coming in, that Larry and I would need to stay at least another few working days in Colorado, as I had received clear indications that we had to sort out our legal land claims as well as claiming the space completely away from darkness. And that we needed to remove living structures left behind from last October. I mentally planned to do that after everyone left.In case you are new to this story, the land we own in Colorado is desert land that was completely covered in drug addicts and their shanty town. Gaia requested, no, actually she demanded that we remove all that darkness from this land. After which she revealed that this land was, in fact, a reservoir of power.Larry and I are softies, and when some of those people who had been evicted seven months ago asked for more time for them to be able to remove their prior living quarters, we allowed them to procrastinate for months. Seven months, in fact.While here, and as our guests, who are all highly skilled in expansion of awareness, can testify, the removal of those living structures was important. The structures impinged greatly, despite their small footprint on the vast acreage. An impression beyond the physical.Darkness likes to make you wait because as you wait, they still have an energy line straight into your life. Lightworkers think that waiting for darkness to sort itself out before moving out is compassionate, it is not.Anyway, the few extra days needed to get the land fully into our names have now turned into nearly a month. The path was filled with what Larry calls “monkey mind communication.” In other words, it wasn't a simple “Gaia asks us to remove these things from the land” and we do it. If we had done it, maybe we would be home by now.Every time we prepared to leave before things were settled, another obstacle appeared forcing us to stay.When we ignored the requests, things escalated. One of the people who had left last October decided she was moving back in. When we refused entry, she physically attacked us. It escalated into both criminal and civil court very quickly, but resolution moved much slower. Delays stacked upon delays, keeping us on the land a few more days at a time.Once the pattern became clear, we decided to stop resisting what we were being asked to do and simply do it.Also, if monkey-mind communication is required, we would much rather receive it through a mountain full of quartz crystals than through violent confrontation.Done!Things started moving.Spaces became visible that were otherwise invisible. I woke up one day with the words “Tartaria” in my mind. The Larger Earth. What the heck?? That was my initial reaction, then I became curious. So, Larry and I started exploring mountains and canyons with our eyes wide open.The canyons themselves felt impossible. Massive walls of stone, strange formations, an entire hill glittering in the sunlight as if someone had cracked open the inside of the Earth and left it exposed. A mountain of quartz pieces! The deeper we drove, the stranger the landscape felt. Not dangerous. Not even unfriendly. Just… hidden in plain sight. Radical changes in landscape from desert dry to forests and lakes. The earth would go from deep red to black, to brown, to gold.Lost objects started appearing back on our land, we detected Tartaria technology nearby, chemtrails filled the skies, and we found out that there is something very strange happening in Delta, Colorado.By all appearances, Delta is a small, insignificant city. Barely bigger than a town, really. However, as we started noticing how odd this town was, including what increasingly appeared to us to be a major power reservoir northeast of the city… We also noticed a ton of other strange things, such as billionaires/trillionaires living all around it, the city logo being an Illuminati pyramid, and signs of Tartaria left in the canyons and hills close by.It might, by all appearances, seem that Larry and I stopped moving through time. After all, we still have not started our journey back to Washington.But in truth, it feels as if we are standing in the center of immense movement through space. Space expanding. Revealing a past covered in mud, a present filled with wonder and power, and perhaps a future written by what we are willing to imagine into being.Will next week see us finally begin the journey home?Perhaps.But then again, Bilbo Baggins did return home eventually, and yet he was never entirely the same afterward. Nor was the Shire untouched by what he brought back with him. We don't plan on a ring to rule them all, that's for sure. At most, maybe a truck full of quartz.We will share some of photographs and videos of our strange and wondrous discoveries on the Wisdom Keeper hour of DrivingToTheRez.comThe discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

Lauren Rodriguez joins Mark Edge at the Libertarian National Convention to share the story of her husband Keonne Rodriguez and William "Bill" Lonergan Hill, creators of Samourai Wallet. In April 2024, both men were raided by the FBI and charged with money laundering and operating an unlicensed money service business — despite FinCEN confirming the wallet was not in violation. After a judge denied every motion, they were left with no choice but to accept a plea deal. Keonne is now serving 5 years and Bill 4 years in federal prison. Visit BillandKeonne.org to sign the petition for a presidential pardon and support their families. Sponsored by SALT Lending.
