Counterflow with Buck Johnson

My guest today is Philip Girladi, and we discuss all things "Deep State". We now know that former CIA Director, John Brennan, formed a "CIA Trump Task Force" with several other nefarious deep state figures in order to tie Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin. This turned out to be fruitless, yet a lot of damage was still done. Why did these deep state figures want to derail Trump's presidential aspirations? Why are they always on the side of more war and more foreign intervention? My guest today knows those answers and more, as he is an ex-CIA officer and comes at this with a wealth of information.

My guest this week is Dr. Murray Sabrin, author of the new book, "Why the Federal Reserve Sucks: It Causes Inflation, Recessions, Bubbles and Enriches the One Percent". He is here to discuss, well, exactly WHY the Federal Reserve does suck. We get into why it was created, the damage it has done, economic bubbles and busts, the funding of the war machine, and much more.

My guest this week is the great Lew Rockwell. Lew is the founder and chairman of the Mises Institute, as well as the creator of the great news site, LewRockwell.com. We discuss a variety of topics including Lew's new book, "Against The Left: A Rothbardian Libertarianism". Lew is a great representative of the hardcore Rothbardian brand of libertarianism, and we apply it to immigration, egalitarianism, and the dangers posed by the left, including the so-called "left libertarians". Lew also talks about coalitions that libertarians should strive to forge in the current climate. He was kind enough to email a list of the Mises and Rothbard books that he recommends. Here are the links to those books: Mises: - "Planning for Freedom" - https://mises.org/library/planning-freedom-and-twelve-other-essays-and-addresses - "The Causes of the Economic Crisis" - https://mises.org/library/causes-economic-crisis-and-other-essays-and-after-great-depression - "Liberalism" - https://mises.org/library/liberalism-classical-tradition - "Liberty and Property" - https://mises.org/library/liberty-and-property - "The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality" - https://mises.org/library/anti-capitalistic-mentality Rothbard: - "What Has Government Done to Our Money" - https://mises.org/library/what-has-government-done-our-money - "Anatomy of the State" - https://mises.org/library/anatomy-state - "The Case Against the Fed" - https://mises.org/library/case-against-fed-0 - "For a New Liberty" - https://mises.org/library/new-liberty-libertarian-manifesto - "Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature" - https://mises.org/library/egalitarianism-revolt-against-nature-and-other-essays You can get all of Lew's books (along with his brand new one!) here: https://donate.lewrockwell.com/collections/books-by-lew-rockwell Visit www.Lewrockwell.com Visit www.Mises.org Visit me here: www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/buckrebel You can donate to the show here: www.patreon.com/deathtotyrants

My guest this week is the president of the Mises Institute, Jeff Deist. Jeff and I discuss the themes within his recent article, "Politics Drops Its Pretenses" and his recent speech on how "meaningless words" create a narrative. Is "democracy" really a good thing? Do those who use it even know what it means? Are we best off when 51% of the voters force their will upon the other 49%? Is it realistic for libertarians to find the right presidential candidate that will win over a majority of voters in hopes to live in a libertarian society? What if secession and decentralization is the best way moving forward? We will hear the establishment tell us that "politics and voting will bring us together" and "democracy in action is a good thing". Why does it seem, then, that the further entrenched government becomes in our lives, the more divisive and at odds the country becomes?

In an episode I will subtitle: "Tales of Tyranny", this episode features my appearance on the Freeman Beyond the Wall podcast with Pete Quinones. Pete and I discuss several crazy instances of pure abuses of "power" by government police officers. These instances are, of course, appalling and disturbing and we give our thoughts on each instance along with discussing the bigger issue of governmental power in general. Pete is a great podcaster and managing editor over at the Libertarian Institute. He's also the author of the book, "Freedom Through Memedom- The 31 Day Guide to Waking Up to Liberty".  You can find all things Pete Quinones here: https://freemanbeyondthewall.com Go visit the Libertarian Institute here: https://libertarianinstitute.org Find me here: www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Donate to the show here: www.Patreon.com/deathtotyrants   Here are the articles that we discuss:  https://thefreethoughtproject.com/watch-family-says-they-were-attacked-arrested-for-loitering-in-their-own-yard/?fbclid=IwAR1IyGrEKWkz0ohGcBGxQkj9JP-6OpwKzZHUHNaZqP15yp0nBcRkF-3Hi4k https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/crime-courts/2019/10/11/apd-officer-charged-with-assault-after-use-of-force-investigation-police-say/?fbclid=IwAR3X2Qwjg5u1FUnj3kg-YozxUPrUOb7UbZZf6j0iu8ChS9hdR9wwl9HgEmM https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/crime-courts/2019/10/02/anchorage-police-investigating-animal-cruelty-complaint-after-officer-seen-dragging-police-dog-by-its-leash/?fbclid=IwAR0duXvUfGWZ1cFzptZl_1Rhvgdk33ltqrCEaDWV6DcFHsQr9vieCE82DSA      

My guest today is Joshua Smith. He is running for Chairman of the Libertarian National Committee. Josh is on the show to explain exactly why he is the guy for the job. The current chairman has embarrassed the Libertarian Party by demonizing many of the best libertarians out there. Up until I met Josh and interviewed him, I wasn't a renewing member of the Libertarian Party. However, his message inspired me to rejoin and fight to get him elected and the current chairman ousted. Josh is antiwar and anti Federal Reserve and those are a must, in my opinion, if you want to represent libertarianism.  You can find Joshua Smith here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Public-Figure/Joshua-Smith-For-LNC-Chair-2020-2233895923599170/ You can find me here: www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Donate to the show here: www.patreon.com/deathtotyrants  

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: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/democrats-hate-tulsi-gabbard-because-she-reminds-them-what-they-used-to-stand-for Follow him on Twitter @jackhunter74 We also discuss this article: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/clinton-gabbard-russian-asset-jill-stein-901593/ Find me here: www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Donate to the show here: www.Patreon.com/deathtotyrants Subscribe on iTunes and leave us a rating and review!   

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.

My guest this week is the great Scott Horton. Many of you know Scott for his brilliant depth of knowledge regarding foreign policy. However, he's also very knowledgeable on the Waco Massacre of 1993 against the Branch Davidians. Scott breaks down what happened between the ATF, FBI, Military and the Branch Davidians and gets into many of the horrific details. As always, he speaks with passion and clarity and compares what the government did in Waco to the same cover ups they tried regarding Sadam Hussein and the War in Iraq.  Find Scott Horton here: https://scotthorton.org and here: https://libertarianinstitute.org Here's the Waco Documentary we reference: https://scotthorton.org/documentaries/waco-the-rules-of-engagement/ Buy Scott's book "Fools Errand:Time to End the War in Afghanistan" here : https://www.amazon.com/Fools-Errand-Time-End-Afghanistan/dp/1548650218/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=scotthortonshow-20&linkId=3e9a84f04229b729eded5f1c4317b4c9 Buy Scott's NEW book "The Great Ron Paul" here:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XLGR6Z3/ref=as_li_ss_tl?crid=ZEJ8VT5WXEON&keywords=the+great+ron+paul&qid=1568258875&s=gateway&sprefix=the+great+ron+pau,aps,210&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=scotthortonshow-20&linkId=a2136ffb1f2387ef129632cdf2f61762&language=en_US Find Sheldon Richman's new book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1733647325/ref=sr_1_1?crid=Q2TAZ1KUPQMI&keywords=coming+to+palestine&qid=1569505126&sprefix=Coming+to+Palestine%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-1 Buy tickets for the Scott Horton vs William Kristol debate here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/soho-forum-debate-william-kristol-vs-scott-horton-tickets-70915930457 Find ME here: www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel  Donate to the show here: www.Patreon.com/deathtotyrants       

My guest today is Joaquin Flores of the Center For Syncretic Studies. We discuss the entire Trump/Biden/Ukraine/Impeachment drama. Where did this all start? How does it tie into Trump's foreign policy? Did Trump and Biden's son break a law? What does Obama have to do with it? Will Trump win in 2020 because of this? We discuss all of this and more.  The article we discuss is here: https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/09/27/trump-takes-on-bidens-corruption-in-ukraine-upside-down-world-establishment-media-attempts-to-flip-the-script/ Joaquin Flores can be found here :https://www.fort-russ.com and here: https://syncreticstudies.com You can find me here: www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel
