Episode #33 -- ObamaGate is the End of the U.S. as We've Known It
President Trump tweeted out #ObamaGate recently after the transcripts of the Impeachment interviews conducted by Adam Schiff went public. These confirmed that there was a massive operation to spy on him, his campaign and that no one in the Obama Administration was willing to testify to his guilt under oath.RussiaGate wasn't just a hoax, it was an elaborate false narrative to overturn an election, cover for a guilty now-ex President who had routinely mobilized U.S. law enforcement and intelligence assets to spy on not just Americans but his political opponents.The scale of it makes Nixon's Watergate look like the amateur hour it was. And Obama's future as the trusted face of the oligarchy I call the Davos Crowd is in in serious jeopardy as a vindictive Trump is now clear to go on the warpath on his way to re-election.Show Notes:https://www.zerohedge.com/political/obamagate-trump-tweets-tucker-carlsons-crushing-breakdown-why-former-president-should-beThe Duran's Analysis of ObamaGatehttps://youtu.be/aUG7LXZLGDkGGnG Podcast Episode #2: Epstein and the Post Dorothy Ozhttps://tomluongo.me/2019/11/05/podcast-okeefe-epstein-and-why-v-still-rules-the-political-airwaves/

Episode #32 - Hang the Fear Mongers - It's Time to Lose the Fear of COVID-19
The lock downs are ending and the fear mongering is ramping up. The natives are getting restless and the powers that be are desperately trying to hold onto their useful idiots who think being afraid of a bad cold makes them the smartest people on the planet.This week we look at fear, the reasons for why they stoke it and why it's beyond time to be outraged about this and reject all forms of government control. The great Scott Adams has reached the state of exasperation and it's a beautiful thing to see. Our politicians are spineless weasels who cannot protect us from the predators looking to destroy civilization for their own gain and their own power. Time to get back to doing the real work of the world.Show Notes:Scott Adams' Amazing Rant Against the Governmenthttps://youtu.be/ILzjaHrhO2cLockdowns Ending but Their Politics Still Rulehttps://tomluongo.me/2020/05/01/lockdowns-ending-politics-rule-desantis/The Pseudoscience Behind the Assault on Hydroxychloroquinehttps://www.zerohedge.com/health/pseudo-science-behind-mysterious-assault-hydroxychloroquine

Episode #31 - Patrick Henningsen and TEOTWAWKI Side of COVID-19
This week I sit down with journalist and radio host Patrick Heningsen of 21st Century Wire and the host of the weekly show Sunday Wire to discuss the civilizational effects of the COVID-19 lock down and why it has gone on far too long. Patrick brings a breath of needed fresh air into the debate of the efficacy of locking people in their homes while I try to bridge the gap to the economic and psychological devastation the policy has engendered.Sit back relax and know that this is a long one, but one of the best conversations I've had in quite a long time.

Episode #30 - David Stockman and the Numbers of COVID-19
This week I sit down with David Stockman, former Director of the Office of Management and Budget under Ronald Reagan and the Publisher of Contra Corner to discuss the pure insanity of the lock down associated with COVID-19, which has now created the Coronapocalypse for our economy and that of nations around the world.David and I take a hard, practical look at the real numbers, inflated though they may be, and how damming they are of the policy of shuttering the U.S. economy while it's clear now that we have good information that this pandemic is not much more than a 3-5% increase on the medical infrastructure of of the U.S. The reality is that the effects on people's lives will be far worse for those that live than those that died, creating an economic depression that dwarfs even the Great Depression of the 1930's.

Episode #29 - Gabriel Scheare and the Dream vs. Reality of Going Galt
This week I sit down with an intrepid young man, Gabriel Scheare, who's working very hard on a project down in Chile called Fort Galt. It's like talking to an even-more committed younger version of myself, going off into the wilds of southern Chile to build a life as free from external interference as possible.If there is something that binds us all together it is the need for community and family. And the drive to achieve that on our own terms is all even the most radical flower-throwing libertarian asks for.Success, failure, satisfaction, travail and toil. These are the essence of our humanity and why leading by example is the only way to show people the path out of the dark place our society has gone to in recent years.Show Notes:Fort Galt:http://www.fortgalt.com

Episode #28 - Alex Mercouris and the New Cold War with China
This week I sit down for another chat with one of my favorite analysts on all things geopolitical, Alexander Mercouris, editor-in-chief of The Duran. Alex and I explore his thesis of a new Cold War emerging between the U.S. and China, which now replaces that of the one between the U.S. and Russia.It's a dynamic situation that is accelerating quickly thanks to the disastrous effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the insane power grab globally being orchestrated by the neoliberal oligarchy I like to call The Davos Crowd. And it's becoming increasingly clear to Trump that remnants of the Clinton and Obama regimes are working in conjunction with China to undermine both his presidency and what's left of U.S. sovereignty.Show Notes:The Duran - U.S. China Cold War Has Officially Startedhttps://youtu.be/RnIZqftyAUALuongo - Has the U.S. Cold War Shifted from Russia to China?https://tomluongo.me/2020/04/04/u-s-cold-war-shifted-russia-china/Crooke - Eyes Wide Open: Will the ‘Masters of the Universe’ Notice No One Takes Them Seriously Anymore?https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2020/04/06/eyes-wide-open-will-masters-of-universe-notice-no-one-takes-them-seriously-anymore/Support my work on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/goldgoatsngunsInstall and Use Brave to Support the Channel: https://brave.com/tom405Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/tfl1728

Episode #27 - COVID-19 Denial and the Generational Divide
The longer this shut down of the world economy goes on the more the generational divide will manifest itself between the declining, didactic and condescending Baby Boomers and their hard-bitten kids from Gen X. The power grabs, the money printing, the push for global government is all part of the desperation of a failing Utopian fantasy which the Boomers cling to like moss to a cliff while society itself hangs in the balance.This week I discuss why this is and where we're headed and what we can expect to see once we all emerge from our homes to see the world they've wrought.Show Notes:Who's Next to Fail in the Post-Covid-19 Worldhttps://tomluongo.me/2020/03/30/whos-next-engine-world-failure/My Chat with Alex Mercouris on Europe and the U.S. post COVID-19Part 1: https://bittube.tv/post/6f2a6ebe-fad9-4a81-a5c6-c03fde7992adPart 2: https://bittube.tv/post/dee3ee82-b487-4073-b930-5204b4c21785Part 3: https://bittube.tv/post/29b3468a-50b2-4409-96ab-c44bf1e8ff84Will We Allow the Coronapocalypse to Bailout the Failures of Socialismhttps://tomluongo.me/2020/03/23/will-we-allow-the-coronapocalypse-to-bail-out-the-failure-of-socialism/The Monetary Abyss Stares Back and Asks "Who's Next?"strategic-culture.org/news/2020/03/29/the-monetary-abyss-stares-back-and-asks-whos-next/

Episode #26 - Mike Shedlock and the Threat of MMT in the Age of COVID-19
As the world goes into lock down over the threat of COVID-19 coronavirus I take a few minutes to remind everyone that it is the government response to this destruction of the private sector economy is the real threat to not only our liberty but our health as a people, a society and a culture.The latest siren's call will be for MMT or Modern Monetary Theory which is just Greenbacks Revisited and was the precursor to what is failing now before our eyes, the General Theory of John Manyard Keynes.Also, Mike "Mish" Shedlock and I sit down for a 40 minute talk about what we can do practically from an Austro-libertarian perspective to mitigate some of the worst of what's coming knowing that the governments will do something we'd prefer they did some of the things we advocate for here rather than the full-on lunacy of MMT and the nascent Green New Deal and fascist take over of the global economy. Monetary history and theory are important and the narrative is coming at us fast.

Episode #25 - The Fall of Central Banking and the Rise of Amazon
The Fed and the ECB fired their trillion dollar bazookas only to see them fizzle. It'll take a lot more than that to restore confidence in their ability to contain the contagion. And I don't think they can do it. Join me for an epic rant about the failure of bank socialism, why the EU cannot compete with the U.S. politically and how the tragedy in Italy will hasten their exit from the European Union.And as we contemplate those things Amazon comes out leading the way to prioritize alleviating suffering by deploying its staggering logistics infrastructure. This is the way the free market puts socialism to rest by serving people's needs rather than sniping about their motives.At the end of the day do you care why Amazon got you your food or medicines fast or just that they did.

Episode #24 - Whitney Webb and Web of Lies in Afghanistan
This week I sit down for a chat with investigative journalist Whitney Webb to discuss here latest work uncovering the history of the recently announced U.S./Taliban Afghanistan peace deal. Whitney does a fantastic job of breaking down the major players, the likelihood of success and what the real motivations for the U.S. in signing this deal are.From there we take the discussion global to cover the political and economic consequences to the coronavirus outbreak and to what extent governments around the world will use this as an excuse to impose new draconian controls over their populaces. Finally, in the last section we take some time to reflect on how all of this effects the current panic in the equity and dollar-funding markets.Show Notes:Whitney Webb on How the New US-Afghanistan Peace Deal Rekindled a “Business Friendly Taliban”https://www.mintpressnews.com/us-afghanistan-peace-deal-rekindled-business-friendly-taliban/265573/Gazprom and Iran Finally Get the Pipeline of Their Dreamshttps://tomluongo.me/2017/11/01/gazprom-and-iran-finally-get-the-pipeline-of-its-dreams/Repo Market Stress:https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/funding-freeze-getting-worse-dealers-demand-record-216bn-liquidity-fed-repoPodcast RSS Feed:https://www.spreaker.com/show/3131277/episodes/feed
