Podcasts about Spooner

Jonathan Drake goes live for Episode 10 and delivers a sweeping, deeply researched conclusion to his study of Lysander Spooner's No Treason, tying together the Civil War, tariffs, banking panics, and the rise of centralized federal power. He revisits Spooner's argument that the Constitution has either authorized tyranny or failed to prevent it, then walks through the appendix, the moral implications of consent, and the legal fiction of national debt. Jonathan explores the Panic of 1837, British credit manipulation, the cotton economy, Northern financial dominance, and the cascading economic forces that set the stage for secession. He maps Spooner's claims onto real historical data, tariff battles, immigration-driven political shifts, banking collapses, railroad cartelization, and the post-war consolidation of authority, showing how a generations-long chain of financial engineering shaped the America we know today. With humor, live-chat banter, sponsor breaks, and a final tease of his upcoming Trial by Jury series, Jonathan closes the chapter on No Treason by returning to Spooner's core warning: all political power rests on the control of money, and liberty requires breaking that bond.

GMoney welcomes Jonathan Drake for a deep, fast-moving conversation connecting Lysander Spooner's 19th-century natural-law philosophy to Bitcoin's modern proof-of-work revolution. Drake traces his path from homeschooling outsider to Spooner scholar, explaining how Spooner's ideas on property, consent, taxation, and absolute dominion became the missing framework that finally made Bitcoin “click.” Together they break down why the right to self-custody, non-confiscation, and immutable contracts fulfills the anarchist property model Spooner envisioned, and why today's government structures, monetary systems, and voting rituals violate natural law by definition. The discussion ranges from jury nullification, fractional-reserve fraud, and the Civil War's monetary triggers to Q-era decentralization, Trump-era regulatory shifts, and Bitcoin's emergence as the first tool capable of dismantling the proof-of-stake tyranny Spooner warned about. Blending philosophy, history, rebellion, and Bitcoin maximalism, this episode shows how a forgotten abolitionist gave language to the digital 1776 unfolding now.

In Episode 9, Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Section 19 of Lysander Spooner's No Treason, unpacking how the so-called “financiers of tyranny” shaped the events leading to and following the Civil War. Drake walks listeners through Spooner's argument that the real power in America was not the government, but the international loan mongers who funded both slavery and the war used to “abolish” it. Using Spooner's eight key evidentiary points, Drake explores how Northern lenders institutionalized slavery, how the South sought to escape its financial bondage, why the North fought to maintain economic dominance, not moral principle, and how the aftermath cemented centralized control over all Americans. Through this lens, the Civil War becomes not a noble crusade, but a calculated consolidation of power that still defines our political reality. Drake ties Spooner's analysis to modern patterns of manipulation, showing how the same playbook persists today.

It's that time again… and the lads are back in full force! After weeks of absence, everyone's finally in the studio — Damo, Spooner, Dovey, and Reedy - ready to settle a few scores, plus can Reedy be crowned Carp Angler of the Year? Damo adds flames to the Bait Boat fire… literally and we dive into all the latest big-carp chaos. Things get lively fast as the team relive their latest Spooner & Dovey vs Reedy & Damo (Podcast Showdown) and finally talk about their epic trip Lac Du Der. There's plenty of banter, a few brutal truths, and more than a few confessions along the way… Angling Times Carp Angler of the Year nomination - Reedy? The rematch confirmed: Spooner & Dovey VS Damo & Reed Bait boats (

Jonathan Drake delivers one of his most hard-hitting episodes yet as he continues dissecting Lysander Spooner's No Treason, shifting from moral critique to the deeper question Spooner demands we confront: Who actually rules us? Jonathan walks through Spooner's brutal distinction between the “boots on the ground” willing to enforce tyranny and the true ruling class, the financiers who bankroll governments, wars, and oppression for profit. Using Spooner's fiery language, Jonathan exposes how the power to borrow and tax created a system where governments exist not to serve the people, but to guarantee endless revenue to international moneylenders. Through vivid examples, biblical parallels, historical quotes, and blistering analysis, he maps out a centuries-long pattern of manufactured crises, perpetual debt, and engineered wars designed to consolidate control. Jonathan also shares personal updates, responds to live chat, and previews next week's dive into Spooner's devastating explanation for the real cause of the Civil War. A dense, riveting continuation of Spooner's demolition of constitutional mythology and the financial machinery behind global tyranny.

In this dense and thought-provoking episode of The No Treason Podcast, Jonathan Drake dives straight into Lysander Spooner's dismantling of government legitimacy. Jonathan walks listeners through Spooner's shift from exposing the Constitution's fatal contradictions to identifying the true structure of modern slavery—beginning with treaties and government debt. He breaks down why treaties fail every standard of natural law, why no agent of government can prove lawful consent to enter them, and how these agreements entangle millions of people in obligations they never accepted. Jonathan then tackles Spooner's devastating critique of national debt—showing how a “secret band” of unaccountable agents borrows in darkness, uses criminal purposes as justification, and binds future generations through coercion, taxation, and fraud. Alongside Spooner's logic, Jonathan explores apophatic reasoning, natural law, anarcho-capitalist debates, election secrecy, and the moral implications of political power itself. Sponsors, live-chat reflections, and Jonathan's signature philosophical clarity round out a rigorous exploration of consent, sovereignty, and the machinery that keeps citizens trapped in manufactured obligations.

It's all going off in the studio this week… Damo and Reedy have been arguing

Jonathan Drake returns for The No Treason Podcast Ep. 6, continuing his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority. Picking up with Sections 8 through 15, Jonathan exposes how the secret ballot, far from being a safeguard of liberty, is actually a tool of tyranny, shielding voters from accountability while empowering what Spooner calls “a secret band of robbers and murderers.” He unpacks Spooner's dismantling of the notion of consent in governance, explaining how elections, oaths of office, and the Constitution itself fail every test of natural law. With sharp humor and vivid analogies, from pork smoking and squirrels teaching natural law to the absurdity of “oaths given to the wind”, Jonathan ties Spooner's 19th-century insights to modern politics and moral philosophy. It's a masterclass in understanding why secret governance and blind patriotism lead not to freedom, but to voluntary servitude.

Jonathan Drake continues his deep exploration of Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority by unpacking Sections 6 and 7, where Spooner exposes how the Constitution grants government agents “absolute and irresponsible power.” Jonathan examines the Speech and Debate Clause and its implications for unchecked authority, connecting it to modern examples like immunity for lawmakers and pharmaceutical companies. Through first principles and natural law, he explains how property rights, consent, and personal sovereignty intersect, and how the Constitution, as written, effectively transforms citizens into property of the state. With analogies ranging from tree service contracts to modern elections, Jonathan drives home how accountability was designed out of the system, leaving Americans with only the illusion of choice. The episode closes with Spooner's haunting observation that “a man is nonetheless a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.” Insightful, challenging, and uncompromising, this installment lays bare the philosophical and moral contradictions at the heart of American governance.

Welcome back to Thinking Tackle Uncut — and this week, it's a lively one! With Tom Dove calling in sick, Damo, Adam and Neil Spooner hold down the fort to talk about the crazy run of huge carp being caught this autumn — including 70s on the horizon and the latest from Spooner's 50 Cup Competition (now pushing 80!). The lads chat about how the clocks are going back, changing conditions, warm autumns, and irrigation waters are creating monster carp across the UK — and share stories of incredible fish, including Grumpy at 56lb 12oz and The Carving at 53lb. There's laughter, chaos, and a few proper nuggets of angling insight as Damo and Spooner discuss:

Spooner understood something most Americans still refuse to believe today. Every check on federal power you were taught about? They don't work. Oaths? Meaningless. Elections? Theater. Separation of powers? Not in practice. As he put it, tyrants only care about one thing. The post Lysander Spooner: The Truth About “Checks and Balances” first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, dissecting sections four and five with philosophical precision and relatable humor. Building on Spooner's radical claim that the U.S. Constitution was never a binding contract, Drake explores what truly defines consent under natural law, examining why writing, signing, and delivery are essential for legitimacy. Using vivid examples and biblical parallels, he unpacks how even everyday receipts and legal signatures reflect the moral order embedded in human nature. Along the way, Jonathan weaves in live chat commentary, Nietzsche quotes, and a playful nod to comedian Mitch Hedberg to highlight the absurdity of modern governance. From Spooner's critique of government authority to Drake's reflections on morality, faith, and free will, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what it really means to “consent to be governed.”

Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, dissecting Section 3 and exposing the illusion of voluntary consent in taxation and governance. He unpacks Spooner's argument that taxes, enforced under threat, are no different than theft by a “highwayman”, except the robber is more honest about his intentions than the government. Through Spooner's lens, Jonathan explores how the secret ballot conceals true authority, why voters can't possibly consent to laws they never agreed to, and how the state's monopoly on force violates natural law. Drawing connections from the Civil War to modern examples like Waco, Ruby Ridge, and January 6th, he reveals how coercion remains the cornerstone of political power. With sharp wit and calm conviction, Jonathan ties Spooner's 19th-century logic to today's crises, arguing that property taxes, foreign wars, and global corruption all stem from the same fraudulent social contract. The episode closes with a hopeful challenge: reclaiming liberty through understanding, self-sovereignty, and the timeless truth that consent cannot be compelled.

Big Carp Angler and Sub Surface icon Gaz Fareham joins us on this weeks Thinking Tackle Uncut. With Spooner and Dovey out filming in in Europe, Damo and Adam are joined by Gaz for an honest, thoughtful chat about life, fishing, and what it really takes to balance both. Gaz talks about how his fishing has changed completely over the last 18 months — working full-time in horticulture, living away from home, and squeezing every ounce out of 10-hour “work night” sessions. Despite the graft, Gaz has still managed to land some incredible carp — including a rare 49lb mirror called Black Spot — proving what's possible when you're organised, efficient, and determined.

Jonathan Drake returns for Episode 2 of The No Treason Podcast to dig deeper into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority. This week, Drake unpacks Section 2, Spooner's argument that voting does not equal consent, and why the U.S. Constitution fails as a legitimate social contract under natural law. He breaks down Spooner's ten points on how the act of voting, secret ballots, taxation, and involuntary participation expose the illusion of “consent of the governed.” With historical insight, humor, and a touch of philosophy, Jonathan guides listeners through the uncomfortable but liberating realization that true liberty can't be legislated. It's a masterclass in critical thinking for anyone ready to question the foundation of American governance.

In Episode 1 Jonathan introduces Lysander Spooner and begins discussion on his essay “No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority,” covering a recap on Social Contract Theory, Natural Law requirements for a legally binding contract, and Section 1 of Spooner's essay.

“An unconstitutional judicial decision is no more binding than an unconstitutional legislative act.” With that one line, Lysander Spooner demolished the dangerous myth of judicial supremacy - the idea that a court's opinion becomes law simply because judges say so. In this episode, we break down Spooner's powerful insights and warnings, echoing the words of many Founders who've been long forgotten today. The truth is simple and radical: the Constitution is the supreme law of the land - not the opinions of unelected judges. Judicial supremacy isn't just unconstitutional. It's tyranny. The post Lysander Spooner vs the Supreme Court: The Judicial Supremacy Lie first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.
