Tulsi Gabbard is at War with the War Party

My guest this week is Jack Hunter, writer at Rare, The Washington Examiner and more. We discuss his article, "Democrats Hate Tulsi Gabbard Because She Reminds Them What They Used To Stand For". Jack and I discuss the attacks that Tulsi is receiving from the likes of Hillary Clinton, CNN, NY Times and other pro-war establishment voices. Remember when the Democrats ran against wars in the Middle East? Now Tulsi is the only voice in the primaries speaking out against these forever wars that the US remains in and she is under fire from conventional pro-war mouthpieces. Have the neocons moved into the Democratic Party? Why are Democrats "anti-Trump" more than they are "anti-war"? Are most people tired of the claims from Hillary Clinton that everyone she hates is a Russian Agent? Let's hope so.  Jack's article can be found here:  Follow him on Twitter @jackhunter74 We also discuss this article:  Find me here: Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Donate to the show here: Subscribe on iTunes and leave us a rating and review!

The Future of the Liberty Movement

My guest today is, Cjay Engel, the proprietor of Bastion Magazine, formerly know as Austro-Libertarian magazine. We discuss the magazine name change and that gets us into a deeper discussion on libertarianism. Cjay and I talk about the identity crisis that libertarianism is facing and the problems that will arise going forward. Many left libertarians are happy to just be anti authority and libertines with no appreciation for Western traditions or culture. There seems to be a cultural war going on within politics and society in general and the libertarian movement is certainly not immune to it. The universalists and neocons have spread their message far and wide and people like Bill Weld and Nick Sarwark have infected the liberty movement with that virus. Bastion Magazine is taking a stance against that type of thick libertarianism and we here at Death To Tyrants couldn't agree more with Cjay. Share this episode.

The Silver Lining of Authoritarian Promises

Lately, some politicians have been making headlines by uttering extremely tyrannical promises. As many of you know, Beto O'Rourke has promised, that if he's elected, you will be forced to turn in your AR15s and AK47s. You may also have heard that Bernie Sanders discussed his support for abortion funding in other countries as to promote worldwide population control. Obviously, both of these are beyond alarming. However, I am here to point out the silver lining in these cases. At least authoritarian members of government are being open and honest about their true intentions. For decades, they have put a nice spin on things. Now, at least some of them, are straight up telling you their evil intentions.  Find me here: Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Donate to my Patreon :www.Patreon.com/deathtotyrants

Fascism, Communism and Socialism: Not A Dime's Worth of Difference

My guest today is L.K. Samuels, author of the new book, "Killing History: The False Left-Right Political Spectrum". Mr Samuels details the many similarities and ties between socialism, fascism, and communism. Have you ever wondered why the conventional "left-right political spectrum" is so nonsensical? Why would communism and fascism be on opposite ends when they're so very similar? My guest discusses the many historical parallels between these authoritarian and brutal philosophies, including the fascistic beginnings of Antifa and how modern US political candidates want their own version of national socialism.  Find his books here: Follow me here: Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Donate to the show here:

The Powerful Few Men Behind the Establishment and Popular Culture

What if I told you that there are a few agents heavily connected to people like Anderson Cooper, Joe Biden, Chris Cuomo, Ana Navarro, Beto O'Rourke, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Van Jones, Whoopi Goldberg, etc.... Would that seem odd? Maybe not. What if then, you learned of an email from those agents that warned of ruining a certain political candidate that didn't play by the rules of those particular agents? Would two people have enough powerful connections to ruin someone's reputation in terms of how the masses viewed that person? Have you ever noticed multiple outlets using the same propaganda against certain public figures that might not "play the game"? Listen to this episode and learn about some powerful people that have a very specific agenda.  Robbie's article is here:  Find me here: follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Donate to my Patreon page here:
