Liberty Conspiracy - 1-28-13 The State IS A RELIGION

Welcome back to the Conspiracy, where we strive to spread the principles of individual liberty and peaceful interaction. In this special program, we give you a show with one unified theme: that the state is the biggest, most destructive religion in the history of the world. We look at the inauguration of the current President of the US and compare the rituals and beliefs backing the state (in all its forms) to the rituals and beliefs backing various religions. We also look at what happens to those who become apostates to the religion of the state. Ritualism, the state, belief in its beneficence, and its power to destroy non-believers -- they are all covered here, with music by the Psychedelic Furs "Forever Now", The Golden Palominos "The Animal Speaks", Derek Lyn Plastic "Run with Me", The Sons of Hercules "Reason to Live" and "Snake People", The Future of the Left "The Hope that House Built", Midnight Oil "What Goes On", Asian Dub Foundation "Target Practice", The Ramones "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" and The Horrors "Sheena Is a Parasite"!!!!!

Liberty Conspiracy - 1-21-13 Video Games Do Not Cause Violent Behavior - Studying the Bogus Claims of Statists

We gots a goooood show for youz in this one (but don't we always?)! This time, the Conspiracy takes on the politicians and their sycophants who claim that people are driven to violence by watching violent television and playing violent video games. Not only have there been no scientific studies to prove this, the incidence of violence in the US has DROPPED as video games that depict violence have become more popular!. Gardner Goldsmith is joined in the studio by his niece, a very dangerous young lady named Brianna, and they look at one so-called social scientist and his claims that there IS a causal connection between video games and real violence. There is not, and by looking at the sad, subjectively determined criteria this man has used in his so-called study, we can see how manipulated science is by political goals and agendas. We stick with logic and real science, real facts, and we DEMOLISH this kind of silliness. Really think you'll enjoy this. Many thanks to Brianna for her help, and to those of you who download the program, or listen online or send a link to a friend. Muchas gracias! The music in this production includes: Girls Against Boys "Speedway", Danko Jones "Starlicker", Grinderman "Honey Bee (Let's Fly to the Moon)", "Heathen Child", Suicidal Tendencies "Institutionalized", The Prodigy "Run With the Wolves", The Demons (from Sweden) "Dizzy", Danko Jones "The Finger", Grinderman "No Pussy Blue"!

Liberty Conspiracy - 1-17-13 - The Right to Keep and Bear Arms - pt 3 - Crime Stats and Pop Media Double-Standards

We return like a giant reptilian monster to wreak vengeance on the statists who would attack our innocent neighbors! Welcome back to Liberty Conspiracy Audios! In this program, we offer you the third in our series of shows about the right to keep and bear arms, and those who set out to attack peaceful people and curtail that right. This time we get to look at the double-standard of pop media figures who strive for the elimination of the Second Amendment (and won't bother to try to amend the Constitution to do it), and we talk about how Wayne laPierre, of the NRA, and his sad but expected collapse on the right to keep and bear arms, and we'll note that there is something wrong with a judicial system that will release criminals into the public but still not trust them with firearms. The Second Amendment doesn't say that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, unless you're a felon who has done his time. If the state doesn't think you're safe enough to be in public with a firearm (and if you're inclined to do more crimes when you get out, you will likely get a firearm regardless of the law), then why is the state releasing you? You're clearly not safe to be in public anyway. That and music by the Blue Oyster Cult "Godzilla"!, The Edgar Winter Group "Frankenstein", The Damned "Thrill Kill", and Grinderman "Bellringer Blues" visit us at www.libertyconspiracy.com!

Liberty Conspiracy 1-13-13 On the Right to Keep and Bear Arms pt2, Back and Forth with Guest Jason Brock , Who Favors Restrictions on Arms

E

Many thanks to our friend Jason Brock, who chatted with Gardner Goldsmith on his radio program and offered his ideas on some of the missing aspects of the Sandyhook coverage, and who offered some of his arguments as to why he believes there could be benefits to restrictions on the ownership of certain kinds of firearms. As Gard noted early on, we want to include many different perspectives and arguments on the issue of political invasion of this right, and why some people support it, and Jason was fantastic as a guest. Thank you, Jason. As you will see, we try to be open to many views, and Gard wanted to make sure Jason had the opportunity to offer his ideas to the audience. You'll also see that Gard keeps his questions to a minimum, until the close of the segments. Enjoy the show! Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspiracy - 12-22-12 - Mucho Stories! 10 Yr Old Kid Strip-Searched in Gubment School, GM Bailout Loses Money - No DUH - Power Poles in the Middle of Gubment Roads - More

Yep! The title says it all -- almost. But hey, it's so frigging long what else do we need to say? This audio collects cool analysis of current stories pertaining to liberty, including the tales mentioned above and another, about the TSA detaining a girl in a wheelchair. Insane. We study why all the areas in which gubment operates cannot satisfy everyone and cannot operate in accordance to real wishes, because no one can choose to pull back their cash as they can in a market paradigm. All that and music from DMZ "Bad Attitude" "Destroyer", War "Lowrider", Broadcast "Come on, Let's Go!", The Modern Lovers "Roadrunner", and The Flaming Sideburns "Soul Survivor" (from their great album "Save Rock n' Roll")!! Those and internal music by Black Flag and Gary Numan! Visit our site! www.libertyconspiracy.com Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspiracy - 12-12-12 - Guest Sheldon Richman Discusses the Term Capitalism versus Free Markets, and More...

Welcome back! We're pleased you've joined us to receive a portable production for liberty. In this special podcast, we give you our full interview with great libertarian thinker Sheldon Richman (www.sheldonrichman.com), who long ago began asking a fundamental question: Is it proper to use the term "capitalism" when one tries to defend free markets? He offers us some fantastic insights and logic to support his answer, and we take the opportunity to allay the fears of some statists who believe that unfettering the market might lead to "exploitation" of workers and consumers... Great stuff from Sheldon! We're in his debt! Join us at www.libertyconspiracy.com and please visit Sheldon at www.fff.org! Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspiracy - 12-3-12 2013 NDAA Bill Still Gives Prez Power to Indefinitely Detain, UK Doctor Accuses Govt Medical System of Paying Hospitals to Euthanize, Exploitation Theory Demolished, pt1

E

Welcome back sojourners in the world of ideas. We here at the Conspiracy are interested in presenting the concepts of freedom in ways that attract folks who might be inquisitive about individual liberty, or even worried about not having any government. In this program, Gardner Goldsmith explores two major breaking stories that have a bearing on liberty. First, he gives the latest information about the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, which is being falsely touted as a fix for the 2012 NDAA that gave the President the power to indefinitely detain people without their constitutionally required habeas corpus hearings. The 2013 version DOES NOT CHANGE the situation. Also, GG explores news that a UK doctor is claiming that the NHS (the National Health System -- AKA socialized government-run health system) is paying hospitals to euthanize elderly patients and babies who have birth defects or bad illnesses. Scary stuff, especially since statists in the US talk about this kind of thing (they call it "managing OUR health care dollars") a lot. That in this compact show (so we can get it out to satisfy the demands of a couple listeners who want it ASAP), and music by GG Allin and The Jabbers "Ass Face", The Horrors "Do You Remember?", Morphine "Super Sex" and "Thursday", Goldfrapp "Eat Yourself", and The Horrors "Who Can Say"...

Liberty Conspiracy 10-28-12 On the Mythology and Coercion Behind So-Called "Equal Pay"

A startlingly good production for you here, all. It's our analysis of claims made by people who want the government to force people to give "equal pay" to men and women at the workplace. We look at the claims and at the ethics of getting the government involved in the so-called solution, and we also look at whether the accusations of unequal pay are actually correct, and upon what they are based... Listen... The meme is rising. Including some choice, delicious music by Midnight Oil "What Goes On", Shriekback "Glory Bumps", Gary Milhouse "At Peace" (see him play in Bath, England!), The Grassy Knoll "Unbelievable Truth" (observe how they use the first note of Hendrix's version of "Purple Haze"!), Sonic Youth "Bull in The Heather", The Catherine Wheel "Black Metallic", DMZ "Watch for Me Girl"!, Wild Cherry "Play That Funky Music", Girls Against Boys "In Like Flynn" (as in Erroll Flynn, baby...)

Liberty Conspiracy - 9-19-12 Yep. We Wuz Right On the US Embassy Attacks in Libya - Mike Mike Martelli on Fed QE 9000, NYC Soda Ban

Welcome back to our portable productions for liberty! We hope you like the music, commentary and great photo of Bennie Bernanke! We also hope you enjoy our conversation with Mike Martelli, whose podcast, First Degree Liberty, is available on Podomatic! Hope you grab it! In this program, we debunk the government's claim that the attacks on the US embassies in Egypt and Libya were "spontaneous protests over a rotten video." Nope. Now, as we publish this three days after the audio was recorded from its radio broadcast, the pop media is FINALLY reporting the facts we were reporting on the 16th of September, or at least part of what we've been saying. They still will not admit that US policy in the Middle East is causing blowback. We also explore the insanity of Bennie Bernanke and the Fed buying 40 Billion Bucks of Mortgage-backed Securities each month for the foreseeable future. UGH! Hope you got some precious metals! Mike Martelli joins El G Grande to talk about these and the NYC soda ban, all RIGHT HERE! That and music by Iggy and the Stooges "Search and Destroy", The Beastie Boys "Lookin' Down the Barrel of a Gun", Blue Man Group "Tubes", Bowie "Space Oddity" and "Ashes to Ashes", Big Dipper "Ron Klaus Wrecked His House", The Concussion Ensemble "Nausea", The Cars "Candy-O", The Horrors "Oceans Burning"!

Liberty Conspiracy - 9-6-12 A Prominent Leftist Speaks Out Against Current Prez, with Guest Joy Sandoz

Welcome back, and thanks for listening! Spread the word, and remember to visit us at www.libertyconspiracy.com! In this production, we look at a piece recently written by actor John Cusack. Mr. Cusack is well known as a leftist Democrat. But in this recent piece, he explains to readers that he can no longer trade the destruction of civil liberties and the murders of innocent people for what he thinks are beneficial social programs in the US. Libertarians Gardner Goldsmith and Joy Sandoz delve into this, and why it is so refreshing and important. That and a visit from Soph, listening in the UK, and music! Yep! Listen for: Government Issue "Jaded Eyes", The Bell Rays "Blues for Godzilla", Broadcast "Come On, Let's Go!", Raphael Saddiq "Over You", MOTORHEAD "The Ace of Spades", Throw Rag "Swingset Superman", The Sex Pistols (live) "Holidays in the Sun" (note the similarity in the opening of "Holidays" and "Swingset") and The DEMONS "I'll Make You Sorry"!

Liberty Conspiracy - 8-4-12 US Emgargo on Iran

E

We reconvene at the Liberty Conspiracy! Thanks for listening and for spreading the word. In this program, we discuss the recent move by the US House and Senate to impose "sanctions" on Iran. These "sanctions" are actually an embargo, which is an act of War. But, of course, there are few who still know this. One of them is Ron Paul... Gardner Goldsmith is another, and he takes the time to look at what Dr. Paul has said about the "sanctions" and to look at how that term is used far too loosely when the "embargo" is correct. He also looks at how other embargoes led to the exchange of fire, specifically, the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Good stuff with music by Human Sexual Response "Blow Up", "Land of the Glass Pinecones" The Zulus "Directly from Our Hearts to Yours", The Psychedelic Furs "Blacks/Radio" (not originally released on the first US disc because the record co believed it to be too controversial in the south), Girls Against Boys "Rockets Are Red", The New Bomb Turks "Dented and Spent" and "Grandpa Atomic" (listen to those drums!!!! And listen for this quote: "If we're gonna be the police of the world, I want my donuts freeeeee, yeah!", Danko Jones "I Can't Handle Moderation" and "Samuel Sin"!!! YEAH! Buy their stuff! See them live! Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspriacy - 8-1-12 Antonin Scalia versus Rights, with Guest Kurt Hildebrandt

Welcome back! In this production, we offer you an analysis of US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's recent statement that the right to keep and bear arms can be "regulated". Seems odd, doesn't it, to have something defined as a "right" and yet have a political appointee say such "rights" can be "regulated"? Well we've been talking about this for a long time, and knew this kind of talk would pop up. Why? Because in the 2008 "Heller" decision, a decision many so-called conservatives applauded, Scalia said the same kind of thing. We delve into it and say "we told ya so", and get the able assistance of fellow Conspirator Kurt Hildebrandt! He's a smart guy, and shows us in the exchange he and El G have about this and more. That and music from Love and Rockets "Kundalini Express", Einsterzende Neubaten "Let's Do It A Da Da", The Psychedelic Furs "DUMBWAITERS", WIRE "Hard Currency", Marina and the Diamonds (a new band from the UK!) "Primadonna" and "Homewrecker", Goldfrapp "Lovey 2 C U", Deus "Suds and Soda", Kate Nash "Foundations" Hope you like! Thanks mucho to Kurt! Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspiracy - 7-18-12 - Collectivist Springsteen Bitten by Collectivism, Prez False Claims Re GM and More

Welcome back to the gang! Good to see more and more people are hearing about the Conspiracy! In this association of people, we fight to defend individual freedom and markets, and we offer information and humor to give our friends intellectual ammunition to combat attacks by statists! This program, derived from the syndicated Liberty Conspiracy Radio show, gives you some interesting information about how socialist Bruce Springsteen was hoist by his own collectivist petard while playing in London. (Don't worry, we won't torture you by playing any of his music.) Then we're joined by FURB of The Freedom Bookclub (visit it!) to study the claims made by the current President of the US regarding General Motors false "comeback" and why the claims are false.

Hola! Welcome back! In this profoundly great program, we provide a look at a recent statement made by the current Prez, and we study the myths, confusion and deceptions in the statement. Then, we use the statement to explain some fundamentals about economics, how regulation is bad, how international trade is good, and how outsourcing is beneficial to living standards of the country buying the service and the people being employed!

Liberty Conspiracy - 7-9-12 On US S. Court and Medical Fascism Law Pt. 2 of 2

Greetings, fellow Conspirator! We're pleased to know so many people are interested in and devoted to the principles of individual liberty, and are keen on getting more information to back up their arguments in favor of freedom! In THIS exciting and awesome episode of the Liberty Conspiracy, we give you part 2 of 2 on the recent US Supreme Court ruling that dealt with the medical fascism law. In this, we explain why we use the term 'Fascism', and why it is the only correct and precise word to use when describing this law. The program features music by Dinosaur Jr. "Little Furry Things", Blue Man Group, DEVO "Uncontrollable Urge", the Lo Fidelity All-Stars "Battle Flag", Silversun Pickups "Panic Switch", and Blur "Park Life"!!!

Liberty Conspiracy - 7-7-12 On US Supreme Court Ruling on the Medical Fascism Law

E

This is part one of two episodes in which we explore the strange thinking, the unconstitutional positions and the anti-freedom characteristics of the recent US Supreme Court ruling on the medical fascism law. We use the term fascism with precision, because it is the appropriate term. This portion of our program covers the bizarre manner in which the Supreme Court majority found that the fine was not a fine, even though the court itself said it was a fine at the opening of the opinion. The decision has massive implications for those of us who believe in freedom, and we have much to discuss here and in part two. Enjoy the show! We're obnoxious in it, too! What a deal! Listen for music by The Smiths "How Soon Is Now", The Horrors "She Is The New Thing", THE DAMNED "Sick of Being Sick", The Horrors "Count in Fives", Lenny Kravitz "Always on the Run", Edwyn Collins "A Girl Like You", The Lonely Island "I'm On a Boat", The Demons (also known as "Demons") "Dizzy", Broadcast "Come On, Let's Go!", The Psychedelic Furs "President Gas", and Fugazi "Waiting Room"!

Liberty Conspiracy 5-16-12 The Right to Self Defense and Arms, Philosophy and Practice

Welcome back! We're glad you're part of the conspiracy! In this program, we explore the right to self-ownership and its associated principle, the right to self-defense. We start with a contemporary story about a man who saved many lives by wielding a firearm against assailants, and then delve into the earliest philosophical acknowledgement of the right to self-ownership and self defense. From there, we look at the history of guns in the US, Australia and the UK, and then look at the practical outcomes of allowing more firearms in certain areas. We also look at the mythology that cops are your best protection, and debunk it with PLEASURE! Enjoy the chat, and pass the word! Also, enjoy the music, featuring a great many cuts by WIRE, including, "On Returning", "Reuters", "The Agfers of Kodak", "I Am the Fly", "Raft Ants", "Want to Ex You" (a new version of "1,2 XU"), "All Fours", "Drill" (live, with Einsturzende Neubaten doing "Vox Populi" - Live in Berlin, 2011), The Prodigy "Piranha", and Inland Sea "Words are Circles"!

Liberty Conspiracy - 5-2-12 Fed Lies About GM and Waterboarding, Studying Ron Paul v. Paul Krugman

Welcome back to the gang of plotters we call the Liberty Conspiracy! In this program, we offer a podcast version of our May 1, 2012 radio show, on which Gardner Goldsmith covered breaking stories such as the revelation (which we already knew) that Nancy Pelosi lied when she claimed she was not made aware of CIA torture (oh, sorry, "enhanced interrogation in the form of waterboarding, but remember, it's not 'torture' any more, not the way it was in WWII), and we look at the lies of the current President that GM has paid back all of its TARp bailout cash -- Not true by any stretch of the imagination! Then, we take a good look at a mini debate between Ron Paul and Paul Krugman, going more in-depth and seeing who truly believes in freedom and prosperity. This is a valuable segment unto itself, and we hope you'll recommend it to others! That and music from Paul Weller ("Green" and "Around the Lake"), Plan B "Welcome to Hell", Telly Saalas "Who Loves Ya Baby?" (REALLY!), Hall and oates "Rich Girl", Government Issue "Jaded Eyes", WIRE "Comet" and "Hard Currency", Silver SUn Pickups "Panic Switch", and Paul Weller again with "No Tears to Cry" (off "Wake Up the Nation")!!

Liberty Conspiracy 4-29-12 Jury Nullification Wins in Court, Arizona and the US Gubment Wrong on Immigration, A Personal Story of Jury Nullification

E

Opening with Kasabian's "Days Are Forgotten", we delve into the forgotten principle of JURY NULLIFICATION, which stems from the ancient Common Law, and which is not mentioned by most judges in contemporary courts. It's an important power that the people have to negate bad laws! Check out the news story and our analysis. Then, listen as El G Grande explains why both Arizona and the gubment cats in DC are wrong in their immigration arguments in the Supreme Court! We go into some valuable information for liberty lovers, and stress the economic benefits of unlimited immigration!

Liberty Conspiracy - 4-5-12 Co-Host Stephen Smith on Illegal Consensual Transactions, Santorum, The Court

Welcome back! This is an audio we hope you'll spread to friends. It features our co-host, and fellow Conspirator, Stephen Smith (find his excellent work at http://abeginnersguidetofreedom.blogspot.com) investigating a story from Minnnesota about a $12,000 tip left for a waitress. The story is mysterious, and when the police step in to take the money, it gets political and takes on even greater import. Gard and Stephen open up the subject and begin to look at how it reflects on those who believe, as Ricky Santorum does, that people just can't "be left alone" to lead their lives in peace. This is a very good audio, and it can do a lot to help newcomers to the freedom philosophy to understand one of its key components: market transactions are made by people because they both feel they benefit from the transactions. Our featured music? Ahh, yes! We open with The Horrors, "Do You Remember", then hit "Gloves" and "Sheena Is a Parasite" by them. Next is, "President Gas", by the Psychedelic Furs, then we offer "Cleopatra 94" by The Concusssion Ensemble, and "Little Fist" by Love Spit Love. Then we hear The Swell Maps, with "Let's Build a Car" and conclude with the epic "Forever Now" by the Furs. Hope you buy their stuff! Enjoy! Be Seeing You!

Thanks for being a conspirator for freedom. We will plot and plan for a world which acknowledges the primacy of the individual and the moral core of free market interaction. In this program, Gardner Goldsmith becomes one of the FEW media folks who talks about the Executive Order issued by Prez Obama on 3-16 that claims the power to nationalize any product, foodstuff, machine, building, form of energy and person.

Liberty Conspiracy - 2-27-12 Politicians Pander to the Religious, Gubment Mandating So-called Contraceptive Coverage

Thanks for being part of the Conspiracy! In this program, we explore the bizarre phenomenon of politicians who want to use force and theft, but who feel compelled to appear at churches and other locations important to the religious in their quest for office. We then compare that strange M.O. to the recent trouble the Catholic Church has had with being forced by the gubment to offer so-called "contraceptive coverage" to their employees through their insurance programs. It's a fascinating and controversial show. Check it out! And in it, we include music by Jack Black (via some fine remixers) looking for an OCTOGON, by the Psychedelic Furs, from their first album,, by Shriekback, from "Glory Bumps", by Iggy and the Stooges, and some fine remixing of Scatman John, leading into a little something special, for all you who would prefer to vote for Zaphod Beeblebrox!

Liberty Conspiracy 2-20-12 - GM Profit Claims Are Bogus, Internment of Japanese, Dead-end jobs

Welcome, fellow-conspirator. We're glad there are others in this minority of people who believe in freedom. In this portable production of libertarian ideas, we study a few contemporary issues, and derive long-lasting points. In hour one, Gardner Goldsmith looks at the pop media's attempt to convince people that government "bailouts" (ie redistribution of wealth to failing companies that consumers had chosen NOT to frequent) are somehow good "investments" and help the economy. Gard shows you what the pop media DIDN'T tell you, and shows how GM isn't a company that's succeeded on its own merit. Then, Gard looks into the 70th anniversary of the US government's internment of Japanese Americans. He studies it and looks at other areas where people are interned, and how people don't notice... That, and a critique of a military guy telling a convenience store worker the kid should join the Army and "get outta this dead-end job". We don't pull punches, and we feature music by Midnight Oil, The Saints, Blue Man Group, Danko Jones, "Demons", and The Psychedelic Furs! Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspiracy - 2-1-12 The FDA Claims "Regulatory" Power over Your Cells, the Market for Body Parts, Private Property Rights

Thanks for joining the Conspiracy! We're glad to have you as part of the gang. You can chat with us in our forum at LibertyConspiracy.com any time! In this program, Gardner Goldsmith reconstructs (with better music fidelity than available on radio), his Liberty Conspiracy radio program from 1-31-12. In the show, he discussed the revelation that the FDA claims "regulatory" power over the sale of human cells. Shocking? Well, maybe not. It already prohibits the sale of human body parts... This is not only unconstitutional, it's immoral and runs contrary to the principle of self-ownership. Listen as we explore it... Then, check out our conversation about the term "regulate", and how it's not appropriate when it is used to describe government coercion of private industry and individual actions. And then you can hear some thoughts about the term "property", and how people arrived at the concept of "private property." Hope you like! Spread the word! Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspiracy 11-3-11 How A Politician Coerced a Bank to Charge Customers Debit Fees, Then Blamed the Bank

It's a story you might not have seen in the pop media. Instead, you might have seen Illinois Senator Dick Durbin railing against Bank of America (we don't like BoA, but that's because, since 2008, the bank got $97 billion in tax money via the federal gubment) as he stood on the Senate floor and excoriated them for charging $5.00 per month for the use of their debit cards. What you didn't see was the REASON BoA instituted that fee. The reason? A regulation introduced by, yeah, you got it, DICK DURBIN, in late 2009, early 2010. El G Grande will tell you the story, and then derive a long-standing lesson about freedom to carry with ya after the show is over! Be Seeing You!

Check out this story. You might have heard a few notes about this, and seen glowing news reports in the pop media that this is just the thing to help struggling college kids with massive debt.

Liberty Conspiracy - 10-14-11 An Intellectual Response to Eliz Warren's "Redistribute Wealth" Argument

Welcome back to the Conspiracy! In this production, we look at the argument offered by politicians Elizabeth Warren in which she lauds the benefits of redistribution of wealth and the so-called "Social Contract". We present this argument in full, and then offer a refutation of her claims that you live thanks to the benefits government gives you, and to which you have already agreed just by existing. It's a fascinating exploration of rhetoric, logic, morality, history and freedom. If you like? Spread the word about it! Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspiracy - 10-13-11 News! US Politicians Decry Assassination Plot - After US Assassinates US Citizen, Dale Farm, UK, Update

Anyone notice that politicians seem to be more and more confident that they can get away with double-speak and hypocrisy? Just two weeks ago, the US government killed a US citizen they accused of "terrorism", killed without trial or a presentation of the evidence against him. Then, a fortnight later, the US government proudly announces that its agents have busted a plot to ASSASSINATE an Arab ambassador. While the Arab ambassador is not seen as a criminal in the eyes of the US politicians, the Iranians claim that Saudi Arabia has been guilty of assisting the US government in its campaign of killings of innocent Muslims in the Middle East. So on the one hand, the US claims it is illegal and bad to try to assassinate a person who has not been proven to have done anything bad, and on the other, the US officials claim that it is a noble thing to kill a person who has not been proven to have done anything bad -- but in the latter case, it is the US government that's doing the killing, so it is alright, we're told. Strange days. We cover it, and ask why people put their faith in this corrupt institution called the state. We also talk about the UK government destroying property rights of the Irish Travellers at Dale Farm. This is an update we didn't want to provide, but must. Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspiracy 9-5-11 News pt 3! The fed Attack on Gibson Guitars, Treaties, Natural Resources and Markets

Check it out! With music from Danko Jones and electric Frankenstein, the Conspiracy continues to cover the news that sheds light on long-standing issues of individual liberty. Case in point, the federal gubment recently attacked Gibson Guitars in TN, stealing wood and records, and shutting them down, making it difficult to keep producing the guitars that consumers want in order to stay in business. We look at the constitutional side of the argument, the moral side, and the economic aspects, which lead us to explain what "natural resources" really are, and why free markets must be allowed to function in order to utilize nature and man's inventiveness, and husband those things that man values. Important stuff! Check it out, and visit our forum at libertyconspiracy dot com! Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspiracy - 8-22-11 Krugman Loves Aliens pt 2: The Religion of Monetary Stimulus

In part one of this two-part series, we made the world a better place by revealing the fallacies inherent in "economist" Paul Krugman's belief that an alien invasion, like he believes WWII did, could pull the US economy out of a 'down-time'. We explained that wars don't better people's standards of living, and they redirect usable capital, human and other natural resources into areas that aren't helpful to people's lives (please refer to that audio for the specific reasons as to why it is impossible to calculate value under a government paradigm, and therefore impossible to calculate whether ANY gubment spending is valuable -- no one is allowed to show his preference freely to determine whether he valued it or not, because his money is taken by politicians -- even to fight WWII.) In this show, we go further, into the second part of Krugman's argument, wherein he might argue that we don't understand. He is not just advocating a redirection of money from taxpayers to busy work, building things to combat aliens, he is talking about a FISCAL STIMULUS, wherein the Fed or the Treasury creates money that pumps up demand! "Ahh," he might say. "I have you now, Skywalker! No one has to lose out on one thing in favor of what politicians want made, because there will be enough money to buy the other thing in the first place!" See, he wants the gubment or the Federal Reserve (given by Congress the monopoly on printing unconstitutional money) to pump the economy with Dollars, and he believes this will let people be employed with no disastrous consequences. WRONG. We explain, and show how the Federal Reserve is falsely claiming it made profits off of its bailouts. A great show! Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspiracy - 8-17-11 Pop Media Ignores Ron Paul PLUS Paul Krugman, Space Aliens and Broken Windows

Welcome, ye fighter for freedom! We hope you like this news update, in which the Liberty Conspiracy looks at the obvious and seemingly intentional disregard for libertarian Ron Paul's strong showing in Iowa and his strong backing elsewhere. Gard studies it, in conjunction to notations on our website at libertyconspiracy.com -- ALSO! Take a listen to one of the stories that has gone overlooked by the poppies! It's all about pseudo-economist Paul Krugman and his desire for an attack or threat of an attack by space aliens as a way to 'stimulate the economy'. Gardner Goldsmith looks at his statement in two parts and serves up a devastating rebuttal to Krugman's fallacious thinking that gubment spending (even on things like warfare) somehow creates prosperity. Just to give you a hint, Gard teams up with 19th century economist Frederic Bastiat! With music from THE PRODIGY! Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspiracy - 7-16-11 Tom Woods' Excellent Market Answers to Statist Critiques

Welcome to the alternative to stale thinking. Here at the Conspiracy, we endeavor to explore political-economics with intellectual rigor. We would like to present to you the thoughts of a man who does the same. He's Thomas E Woods, the author of numerous books on economic history and a speaker who finds ways to entertain and enlighten as he fights the oppressive nature of the state. In this program, El G Grande presents part of Tom's ongoing answers to what some statists seem to think are tough questions they try to pose to those who support the free market. Gard adds his own comments, and together, the two provide an excellent bulwark against the encroaching tide of statism that politicians, gubment school teachers, pop media figures and professors seem to push at us every day!

Liberty Conspiracy - 7-4-11 Beyond the Typical: Further Dissection of Social Contract Theory, Featuring Stephen Smith

As many Conspirators know, we recently have engaged in a series of programs devoted to exposing the so-called "Social Contract Theory" for what it is: an excuse for majority-sanctioned theft and coercion. Here, we welcome frequent contributor and CABAL member, Stephen Smith, he of the excellent website "A Beginner's Guide to Freedom". In this production, Gardner Goldsmith and Stephen discuss a few of the contemporary figures espousing warmed-over "Social Contract Theory", and how all of the arguments in favor of it actually run counter to REAL contracts and real choice!

Liberty Conspiracy - 7-1-11 Social Contract Theory, Obliterated, Pt 2!

Enjoy this punk rock refutation to the evil concept that you somehow subsume your individualism and self-ownership to the s-called "will of the people" as expressed by government/state law!! In this, the second (and better than the first, too!!) installment of the series on this issue, we go further than eviscerating Rousseau's silly notions, we show how so-called "social contract theory" is smeared all over other political work, including the supposedly laudable work of John Locke, upon whose ideas much of the US Constitution was based! Great material for a deep understanding of why the US government contained in it the seeds of expansion and greater an greater amounts of socialism. Be Seeing You!

Liberty Conspiracy - 6-14-11 Why We Shouldn't Fear So-Called Trade "Deficits"

Join us and spread the word that there's a podcast out here where the people behind it actually TALK about ECONOMICS. While you're at it, you might want to mention that to the POP MEDIA who seem more interested in scare-mongering and ignorance. In this program, Gardner Goldsmith selects a tiny, super-brief quote from one of the debaters at the recent 2011 GOP presidential debate to highlight a fundamental lesson most politicians haven't learned about economics. It's all about the so-called "trade deficit", and why that term is erroneous and misleading. Gard explains that the popular myth of the "trade deficit" is just that, a myth, and it is not bad to be buying more of the products made in a foreign nation. Listen and you'll see what we mean!

In most important respects, the Department of Truth exists. Just look at how statistics are manipulated and constantly revised for political gain. We talk about the implications, and how to resist.

Liberty Conspiracy - 5-18-11 Warrants, "Sneak and Peek" Searches, Minority Hiring and Economics

Welcome back to the Conspiracy! We at the Liberty Conspiracy understand that many of the fundamental principles of freedom aren't popular today. Sometimes they're not even discussed. So we try to take contemporary issues and draw from them long-lasting principles of economics and liberty. In this case, take a listen, wherever you are, to our coverage of the disturbing revelation that the federal gubment has increased its "Sneak and Peek" search warrants (which means they're not really search warrants, but carte blance for invasion of private property and possible confrontation with homeowners). Gard explains where the concept of Warrants arose (yeah, you got it, the British Common Law) and why these breaches are indicative of the false basis of all government: That which can exist only by taking a portion of your monetary property is already a predator. It is not your protector. Then take a listen as we delve into a story of Starbuck's Coffee, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992, and why it is not only unconstitutional, but also is an invasion of private property and does not allow free markets to provide opportunities for minorities.

You've head Gard talk about the unconstitutional non-wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the disregard for the Geneva Accords and for US Law as they apply to the so-called "enemy combatants" -- well how about another voice to add some new angles? In this program we feature the thoughts of Judge Andrew Napolitano, who is one of the few in the "pop media" to say what is important. He's not bothering trying to figure out what caused Hillary Clinton to put her hand to her face during a famous photo of White House politicos. He's looking at real substance, as we like to do here. Take a listen, and see what you think as Gard offers a few thoughts and then introduces the words of the judge. Thanks for being a Conspirator! Spread the word! Be Seeing You!
