Counterflow with Buck Johnson

Antifa recently engaged in more property destruction and violence at the "Unite The Right 2" rally in DC. Rather than report on this and condemn it, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo defended the violent tactics of Antifa. Communism is responsible for over 100 million deaths and yet Chris Cuomo defends the group that calls for more state sponsored violence and death. Also, the CIA has infiltrated MSNBC and Trump calls their bluff.

The idea of decentralization and/or secession is an idea that our country was founded on. Now, in 2018, 39% of the country believes in the idea. We are probably headed for some sort of breakup in the next decade or so. States like California, Texas and New Hampshire have all had ballot referendums on it already. As things become more polarized and technology moves us even further away from needing a one size fits all Washington DC master, the idea may become even more popular. This week I breakdown a recent survey that shows the popularity of the idea of secession. https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/08/no_author/secessionist-sentiment-remains-a-plurality-among-likely-voters/ Give us a "like" at www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Share the show!

I get asked a lot about the "libertarian stance on _____". In this episode, I go over the philosophy of libertarianism and discuss various political issues. We talk about war, drugs, income tax, social security, the federal reserve , education and healthcare. This is a clear and concise explanation of the consistent philosophy of libertarianism and how we see the political issues that people care about.

The Democrats, the media and some Republicans have removed any secrecy to the fact that they are thirsty for more blood. Now, the boogieman we should attack immediately is RUSSIA and (gasp) PUTIN. How dare Trump actually meet with such a vile terrorist, they say. We were attacked! Weapons of mass destruction all over again. Some are calling their meeting to discuss peace an actual act of treason. This week, I have on author Donald Jeffries to discuss this topic and others. His book can be found and purchased here https://www.amazon.com/Hidden-History-Conspiracies-Cover-Ups-American/dp/1510705376/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1532898403&sr=8-2&keywords=donald+jeffries His latest article on the Trump-Putin Peace Summit can be read here: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/07/donald-jeffries/the-trump-putin-conference/ Give us a "like" at www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel

They NY Times recently published a story on conservatives now "weaponizing" free speech. The claim is that progressives need to be skeptical of free speech absolutism. In the 60s, liberals were the champions of free speech. Today, the modern left is anti free speech and even the NY Times is saying that free speech is a libertarian issue now. Well duh. It always has been. Here's the articles I discuss: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/30/us/politics/first-amendment-conservatives-supreme-court.html https://www.cato.org/survey-reports/state-free-speech-tolerance-america#2 Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel and "like" us at www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast

White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was recently asked to leave a restaurant due to her politics. Maxine Waters is pushing for businesses and people, in general, to use segregation as a weapon once again. A gay couple demanded that a Christian cake decorator be forced at gunpoint to bake and decorate their wedding cake. What does all of this mean for libertarians? We have a simple and consistent principle that we follow and it makes all of this issues...non issues!

Bernie Sanders tells us that we should be more like Sweden, Denmark and Norway. He softens his old beloved term socialism by calling it "democratic socialism" as if blending two awful terms makes one great term. We explain what kind of government actually exists in Scandinavia and what Bernie and his ilk actually long for. Caution: socialism is violent and ugly.

Bernie Sanders has gone off the rails once again. His new "plan" is to create a government job for every unemployed person in America. That's somewhere around 13 million people. It gets better. So far, he admits that they don't know how to pay for it. Yes. You read that correctly. So, lets talk about it. Thank you for the support.

We are morally opposed to the income tax. However, if we are coerced into it, would you rather be able to choose where it goes? How would adding in some amount of choice into a system of force look? Would certain agencies and programs disappear? We discuss all of this and more with our guest Theodore from www.Crowdfundedgovernment.com You can also find him on Twitter @Crowdfundedgov Find us at www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast and Twitter @Buckrebel

This week on Death To Tyrants, we discuss the Non Aggression Principle, which is the bedrock of libertarianism. It can be logically and consistently applied as can the property rights theory of which it is paired with. Many people are still confused as to what libertarianism actually is so we cover the philosophy behind it and how we apply iy issues like the income tax and the drug war.

Is a US war against Syria a sure thing now? What about WW3? The left has been pushing for war with Russia for over a year now. The right says something must be done to Assad and the Syrian government. Why are libertarians the only ones left who oppose mass human slaughter? We are principled and therefor anti consequentialist. We remain strong against the wars in the Middle East, the war on drugs and the war on poverty. We are proven right over and over again. Do we ever get to say we told you so? Thank you for the continued support. Give us a "like" at www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast.com Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel

There will be an economic downturn at some point in our future. Before it happens, we discuss the actual causes of economic booms and busts. Charlatans will blame markets, deregulation or whatever other fallacy they can throw at you. Arm yourself with the truth and be ready to explain it to those who spread lies. Plus, Buck discusses the fascistic nature of Antifa. https://fee.org/articles/the-demands-of-antifa-and-the-original-fascists-have-a-lot-in-common/ Reading suggestions: Murray Rothbard "America's Great Depression" Go to Facebook and give us a "like" www.Facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast.com Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Thank you for the support!

Today on Death To Tyrants, we bring Aaron Pomerantz back to the show. He's a writer and social psychology graduate student at Oklahoma University. He gives us a view of the March For Life through a social psychological lens. Aaron uses what is known as "construal level theory" to look at the March in a way you may not have looked at it yet. We get into gun control, collectivism and the many fascinating aspects of politics in 2018.

This week we discuss the Austin Bomber. Why did the charlatans and carnival barkers insist on their fallacious narratives regarding the victims and then the bomber himself? Speaking of bombs, Donald Trump has named none other than infamous warmonger and historically idiotic neocon, John Bolton as his National Security Advisor. How does this man continue to be employable? He's been wrong on literally everything he's ever promoted. And finally, we touch on the anti gun marches that took place. Are the marchers actually against the slaughtering of innocent humans? Where have they been all this time? Thank you for your continued support.

Socrates was considered the antithesis of the Sophists in his day. Now more than ever, we are bombarded by Sophistry on a weekly, daily even hour by hour basis. What has happened to well reasoned arguments and logic in todays political environment? We discuss that and relate it to two different articles. One on the fallacies of the gun control argument and the other on the leftist hatred for free speech today. Here are the two articles we discuss: https://fee.org/articles/6-logical-fallacies-to-look-out-for-in-the-gun-debate/ https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/absolutely-surreal-student-mob-smashes-window-in-protest-against-jordan-pet Please "like" us at www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @Buckrebel Spread the word and share the podcast!

States Rights! Nullification! Secession! Just what you'd expect to hear from.....PROGRESSIVES IN CALIFORNIA?! Actually, yes. Progressives finally believe in local governance and nullification. All it took was Donald Trump to turn politics on its head and we are now in Bizarro World. And if that wasn't enough, just months after Republicans touted tax CUTS, they now want tariffs which, well, are just taxes and another intervention into a free market. We'll break down tariffs and the classic Broken Window Fallacy. Plus- Tucker Carlson heroically gives neocon warmonger John Bolton a verbal beatdown. Here are links to the articles I cite on today's episode: http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-california-immigration-20180306-story.html https://fee.org/articles/economics-was-invented-to-refute-trumps-tariff-arguments/ Recommended books: Economics In One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt and Economics In One Lesson by Thomas Sowell Go "like" us at www.facebook.com/deathtotyrantspodcast Follow me on Twitter @buckrebel Subscribe on iTunes and share the show with friends!

Brilliant foreign policy mind and author Scott Horton joins us to discuss the longest war in US history, the War In Afghanistan. When did it start? Why are we there? What does victory look like?

Also, we go over the crisis in Yemen and how it started.

Today we chat with Aaron Pomerantz, a bright young social psychology graduate student at Oklahoma University. He wrote a very good article discussing the idealogical language divide in our current political climate and the origins of "symbolic racism". It's all too common today that when one disagrees with a policy, they immediately use the ubiquitous "R" word. That is a shortcut to intellect and we chat all about it.

Net neutrality isn't as hot of a topic today as it was a month or so ago but to many people, there is still a lot of confusion about what it really is and was. Also, we discuss FISA. What is it and WHY would they vote to renew it? We end with some book recommendations for anyone interested in the ideas of liberty or economics. And then, a quick discussion of Dr Jordan Peterson.
