No Charges for Officers Who Tased Mentally Ill Man TO DEATH in His Shower Ep. 71
02/05/2018 Duración: 01h03minFor my first episode back from a brief reprieve from Liberty Weekly, I lend my legal analysis to a horrible case out of Milwaukee County where District Attorney John Chrisholm has declined to file criminal charges against police officers who tased a mentally ill man to death in his shower. It is of the utmost importance that the public understand why Chrisholm made the decision he did and what legal questions he had to answer. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/libertyweekly/support

Taxation Makes SLAVES of Us All Ep. 69
18/04/2018 Duración: 31minHappy (belated) Taxation is Theft Day! If you live in the geographical area known as the United States of America, you just got fleeced by tax season! Not only did the government forcibly take your income under the threat of violence, but they made YOU calculate how much you "owed" them. In today's episode I connect the dots between taxation being theft (or extortion) and how by definition, that makes us all slaves to the respective governments who would claim to rule us. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/libertyweekly/support

US, Turkish Forces Face Off As Trump Reneges on Syria Withdraw Ep. 65
06/04/2018 Duración: 50minEarlier this week, Trump made comments about withdrawing US forces from Syria. Shortly after, this comment was reneged and effectively stamped out by the establishment.

The Colonies' Parallel Wars for Independence: Patrick MacFarlane @ AgoraSymposium 2018 Ep. 57
25/02/2018 Duración: 41minFor my first speaking even with the Liberty Weekly Podcast, I argue that there really were two wars for colonial independence: one led with words and debate by the founding fathers, and the real war for independence that was waged by thousands of average, liberty loving people through insurgency, agorism, and a passionate defense of natural liberty. Furthermore, I assert that every day libertarians should revere the second revolution over the first, and look to it for guidance. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/libertyweekly/support
