The dangers of passive

'It's a virtuous cycle, but it's also a Ponzi cycle'

"If it turns out it really was just a lone shooter I won’t be flabbergasted, but it requires a level of incompetence that I would not have believed possible for Secret Service.”

Dave Collum

Friend of the show Chris Martenson has taken an extensive look at the shooting - especially the audio evidence - and believes there were multiple shooters. As I type this, I’m watching Secret Service Director Cheatle testify before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee.  She does not come across as being honest or forthright and is refusing to directly answer most questions. Just take the Fifth next time.

Our country does not have a good recent track record of holding anyone at a high level to account, or doing non-partisan and thorough investigations.

It’s been an eventful month.

“It irks me a lot when people try to say that Peter Thiel is a Libertarian. Certainly he claims that publicly in his speeches and books, but if you look at his actions and what he has done creating a tool like Palantir for the federal government is literally the least libertarian thing you could do. Nothing empowers the worst aspects of the state more than a company like Palantir.”
