Gabriel Custodiet speaks with historian Tom DiLorenzo about his efforts to expose Abraham Lincoln. Pushing against the soft “saint-like” treatment that historians have granted Lincoln, DiLorenzo exposes Lincoln's totalitarian tendencies, his contribution to the birth of American fiat currency, his war crimes, among other reasons to have disdain for the lauded president. Ultimately DiLorenzo explains how court historians can twist our understanding of history, use this twisting to advance the ends of the status quo, and themselves alter the course of history.   GUEST → https://www.amazon.com/stores/Thomas-J.-DiLorenzo/author/B001IGOF0Q  → https://mises.org/profile/thomas-j-dilorenzo → https://www.lewrockwell.com/author/thomas-dilorenzo WATCHMAN PRIVACY → https://watchmanprivacy.com (Including privacy consulting) → https://twitter.com/watchmanprivacy → https://escapethetechnocracy.com/ CRYPTO DONATIONS →8829DiYwJ344peEM7SzUspMtgUWKAjGJRHmu4Q6R8kEWMpafiXPPNBkeRBhNPK6sw27urqqMYTWWXZrsX6BLRrj7HiooPAy (Monero) →https://btcpay0.voltageapp.io/apps/3JDQDSj2rp56KDffH5sSZL19J1Lh/pos (BTC) Timeline 00:00 – Introduction 1:23 – Problem with the phrase “Civil War” 3:25 – Myth of slavery motivations of War Between the States 6:50 – Alexis de Tocqueville said problem of race was worse in the North 11:30 – War crimes and scorched earth of the Union army 15:50 – Secession a perfectly American phenomenon 20:30 – Most outrageous attacks against DiLorenzo for attacking the Lincoln Cult 25:30 – How can freedom-seekers how to counter the will to power? 28:10 – How to NOT be a court historian 31:10 – Examples of anti-court historians 32:15 – How to define a “Yankee” 34:10 – Rapid fire 36:20 – Who benefits from inflation? 37:20 – Did Lincoln ultimately win in more ways than one? 38:00 – Final thoughts Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio

Kerry Lutz hosted Thomas J. DiLorenzo to discuss the implications of China's economic strategies, as outlined in DiLorenzo's book, "Casino Economy." DiLorenzo expressed concerns that China's monetary injections are aimed at creating temporary economic booms, which often lead to significant downturns. Both speakers emphasized that such strategies prioritize short-term political gains over sustainable economic stability, arguing that true prosperity arises from saving, investing, and productive work rather than financialization. They also explored the potential for substantial cuts to the U.S. economy through the elimination of redundant government agencies, including proposals to abolish the income tax to foster a more prosperous society. The conversation addressed issues of federal land ownership, with Lutz noting that the government owns a significant portion of land in states like California and Nevada. DiLorenzo criticized the government's management of these lands and advocated for private ownership to ensure better care and sustainability. They also discussed government overreach, exemplified by an incident involving New York State officials seizing and killing a pet squirrel and raccoon. They expressed concerns about the bureaucratic mindset that prioritizes justifying budgets over individual well-being. Finally, they discussed the idea of secession as a response to government overreach, with DiLorenzo noting that some regions are moving towards "soft secession," while Lutz shared his experience of relocating from New York to Florida for its favorable tax and regulatory environment.

https://youtu.be/5wR4FsTGOb8 This idea that individuals can be and should be sacrificed for the “greater good” is the essence of the fascist/socialist/collectivist philosophy... For many intellectuals, the attractiveness of socialism is that it is “rational”; it is a “planned” economy, planned by people like them. – Thomas J.

https://youtu.be/qg02oeR17ug …Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart, became one of the wealthiest men in the world by figuring out how to cut the price of just about everything to the benefit of everyone, but especially of lower-income consumers. That's one of the other virtues of the free market: it rewards people who can figure out how to supply products and services that might have originally only been affordable to the wealthy so cheaply that just about anyone can afford and enjoy them. Henry Ford became wealthy by producing cheaper and cheaper (and better and better quality) automobiles; John D. Rockefeller became wealthy by selling refined kerosene and other oil industry products cheaper and cheaper for decades; Cornelius Vanderbilt got his start in business by managing a steamship business on the Hudson River in which the ride was free (!), making money by selling food and drinks on board; and on and on.   For their efforts such men have been denigrated by the enemies of economic freedom (including various politicians, government bureaucrats, socialist ideologues in academe, journalism, and elsewhere) as “robber barons.” Of course, they did not “rob” anyone.   Unlike government, they could not force anyone to buy their products; they had to persuade people to buy them by making them cheaper and better. Only government can rob you of your hard-earned money by threatening imprisonment for refusal to pay what it demands of you for services or products that you may have no need for whatsoever, and whose existence you may even deeply resent. It's called tax evasion, a crime that is punished under federal and state law by fines, imprisonment, or both…   That is why the most menial local government tax-collecting bureaucrat can have more power over your life than the wealthiest businessperson in the world. Businesspeople must persuade people to purchase more of their products or services; unelected government bureaucrats can order you to shut down your business, take your kids out of school, or quit your job, and get the police to enforce the orders (as all Americans learned during the pandemic of 2020–2022).   – Dr. Thomas J.

What’s the Problem with Socialism? Let’s start with…everything. The Outer Limits of Inner Truth sits down with bestselling author and former professor of economics Thomas J. DiLorenzo. Mr. DiLorenzo reveals how socialism inevitably makes inequality worse, why socialism was behind the worst government-sponsored mass murders in history, the myth of “successful” Scandinavian socialism; how socialism is worse—far worse—for the environment than capitalism, and more. OLIT chose to do a show about socialism because it is affront to many spiritual and religious belief systems which loudly profess their believers to “love others and to do no harm.” Thomas DiLorenzo is a member of the senior faculty of the Mises Institute and a frequent contributor to  He is also the author of The Real Lincoln; How Capitalism Saved America; Lincoln Unmasked; Hamilton’s Curse; Organized Crime: The Unvarnished Truth About Government; and The Problem with Socialism.

Market report with Brenda Stein, then Dr. Thomas J. DiLorenzo, author of THE PROBLEM WITH LINCOLN, Cherisse from No Wires Now Dot Com - For the first 10 people switching to Dish, a free Video Doorbell, and other savings

  Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth President of the United States, was born near Hodgenville, Kentucky on February 12, 1809. On November 6, 1860, Lincoln won the presidential election without the support of a single Southern state. Talk of secession, bandied about since the 1830s, took on a serious new tone. The Civil War was not entirely caused by Lincoln's election, but the election was one of the primary reasons the war broke out the following year (CONT) Featured Experts In Order of Appearance 4:32 - Thomas J. DiLorenzo is professor of economics at Loyola University Maryland and the author of "The Real Lincoln" 25:53 - Frank J. Williams is the retired Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Rhode Island and is one of the country's most renowned experts on Abraham Lincoln 37:28 - Chris Duane is Founder of Silver Shield Exchange & Sons of Liberty Academy 46:46 - Samuel Wheeler is Research Historian at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum in Springfield, Illinois 59:37 - Lew Rockwell is Founder and Chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute 1:05:23 - Roger Stone is an Author, Political Strategist & Presidential Historian PART II 1:13:44 - Astrologer Constance Stellas 1:23:38 - Psychic Medium Kerrie O'Connor 1:30:00 - Psychic Empath Lisa Caza ========================================== (CONT) Lincoln's decision to fight rather than to let the Southern states secede was not based on his feelings towards slavery. Rather, he felt it was his sacred duty as President of the United States to preserve the Union at all costs. His first inaugural address was an appeal to the rebellious states, seven of which had already seceded, to rejoin the nation. His first draft of the speech ended with an ominous message: "Shall it be peace, or the sword?" The Civil War with the opening bombardment of Fort Sumter, South Carolina, on April 12, 1861. Lincoln forced the Confederate hand with his decision to resupply the fort, which had suddenly become an outpost in a hostile nation. The Southern navy turned away the supply convoy and then fired the first shot of the war at Fort Sumter, forcing the Federal defenders to surrender after a 34-hour battle. Throughout the war Lincoln did not issue his famous Emancipation Proclamation until January 1, 1863 after the Union victory at the Battle of Antietam. The Emancipation Proclamation, which was legally based on the President's right to seize the property of those in rebellion against the State, only freed slaves in Southern states where Lincoln's forces had no control. Nevertheless, it changed the tenor of the war, making it, from the Northern point of view, a fight both to preserve the Union and to end slavery. On April 14, 1865, while attending a play at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., Abraham Lincoln was shot by Confederate sympathizer, John Wilkes Booth.

(Continued) Today we look at a video from self-proclaimed liberal atheist Steve Shives. Targeting libertarianism, this video is part of his "5 Stupid Things About..." collection. Many of you might enjoy some of his work, so please check out his website, stevelikestocurse.com. SERIES BACKGROUND: We are now rebooting the series for the purposes of review and expansion. Tony Myers will be the permanent co-host for these episodes. See Tony's past School Sucks contributions here, and please have a look at Tony's comprehensive notes on the science of logic here.

It puts On Airs We Agree but an atheist has nothing on libertarians? What about statists? Ideas are so good we're justified carrying them out by the use or threat of violence 5. It's Naive Yes, in a world we've inherited from complete insanity, it is. Irony - graphic while describing libertarian dystopia "Robber Barons: Proof that libertarianism does not work" did you do your homework on these people? GRAMMAR who are the Robber Barons? when did they exist? What did they do Where did they get their power? These questions could launch us in to a whole historiographical discussion about the origin and intention of that term, and it's staying power in college textbooks of today. The Truth About the "Robber Barons" - Thomas J. DiLorenzo - Mises Daily As common as it is to speak of "robber barons," most who use that term are confused about the role of capitalism in the American economy and fail to make an important distinction — the distinction between what might be called a market entrepreneur and a political entrepreneur. A pure market entrepreneur, or capitalist, succeeds financially by selling a newer, better, or less expensive product on the free market without any government subsidies, direct or indirect. The key to his success as a capitalist is his ability to please the consumer, for in a capitalist society the consumer ultimately calls the economic shots. By contrast, a political entrepreneur succeeds primarily by influencing government to subsidize his business or industry, or to enact legislation or regulation that harms his competitors. So if we accept the idea of the malevolence of the robber baron, we have proof that the state is dangerous.

Because they don't trade; they loot and destroy Capitalism, i.e., free trade based on property rights, doesn't lead to economic turmoil or exploitation or pollution; only lack of property rights enforcement coupled with government and its attempts at "regulating" lead to those bad things Kazakhstan: Nuclear Testing Aftermath http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrTGloWEIAA Russia's Black Future by Shanti Menon http://discovermagazine.com/1996/feb/russiasblackfutu701 If you don't have private ownership, no one is going to take responsibility FEE: Privatizing Roads and Oceans (Walter Block) MP3 http://odeo.com/episodes/24076766-FEE-Privatizing-Roads-and-Oceans-Walter-Block-MP3 The Privatization of Roads and Highways by Walter Block http://www.mises.org/store/Privatization-of-Roads-and-Highways-P581.aspx http://mises.org/books/roads_web.pdf Superpower communized roads--great stuff!
