What Then Must We Do?

I was on Lou Perez's podcast recently, talking about my fan-fiction Halloween novel, Elixir of Fear. 

We also talk about the craft, and business, of writing, and about why we haven't seen honest stories about Covid in mainstream fiction yet.

You can subscribe (it's free) to my fiction Substack, and download "Elixir of Fear" here.

And you can find Lou Perez here, and here.

This is my Declaration, on the 250th anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence, that by the standards set forth in that document, our government has forfeited its legitimacy.

You can watch the video here, and read the full document here.

Back in 2021, pub-owner Rod Humphris gained notoriety for throwing (then Labour leader) Keir Starmer out of his pub in Bath, England. When I spoke with Humphris in the fall of 2024, he said that he was mourning for what Britain had once been, and he did not see things getting better any time soon.

Nearly two years later, things are much much worse... and Humphris is much much more optimistic. Why? 

In this heartfelt conversation, Humphris talks about what has changed for him—and what he believes has changed for many in Britain—and about what is re...

In this episode, I speak with Dave, from Common Law Trust Solutions (CLTS), about what it means to operate in the private, the benefits of doing so, and some of the pitfalls involved.

We also talk about the "secured party creditor" process, its legal underpinnings, the pros and cons of going that route. Mostly though, we discuss the common-law trust, why it is important, and how to use it. 

CLTS has been assisting those who want to operate in the private, to set up trusts to facilitate this, for many years. The company (itself a p...

For Domenic Scarcella, Lent is about “filling up, not giving up.” We talk here about what that means, about how technology makes it harder to have the spaces in our lives where we can experience the divine, and what we can do about it.

We also discuss the meaning of “faith”, and address the question: “Do the means perhaps justify the ends?”

We even grumble a little about “kids these days.”

You can find Domenic’s writing and discussions on his Substack.

His book—which I highly recommend—is “Good Neighbor, Bad Citizen.”

As a special Christmas treat, I present here, my husband, reading "The Rules of Christmas"—which he mostly wrote.

Don't just listen... be sure to follow them..."For your edification and clarification and the avoidance of any unpleasantness on this Christmas Eve and morn."

You can read the Rules here. Or purchase a hard copy, here.

I speak again with Mike Maharrey, National Communications Director for the Tenth Amendment Center. 

In a world where it often seems that politicians and government agents are free to violate our rights with no consequences to themselves, I ask Mike whether he thinks we have any power at all to protect those rights.

We talk about the Constitutional right of states to refuse to cooperate with Federal law; examples of localities doing just that; strategies the 10th Amendment Center is working on; how he thinks the recently enacted Federal restrictions on hemp products will play o...

A little over a week ago, I spoke with Kevin McKernan about the paper he co-authored with Jessica Rose and David Speicher, looking at DNA contamination, including SV40 promoter-enhancer sequences, in the Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccines. In that episode, I asked Kevin whether the paper is enough to demonstrate fraud on the part of the vaccine manufacturers. This is important, because if fraud can be shown, these companies lose their protection from legal liability.

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Jessica Rose about the paper. She explains what is needed to prove fraud, and why...

You've probably heard about the paper by David Speicher, Kevin McKernan and Jessica Rose, on the DNA contamination in the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines. In this episode, I speak with Kevin McKernan about the paper, including the legal implications: Does it demonstrate fraud on the part of the manufacturers? It's kind of a big deal if it does, because that would void their liability protection provided by the PREP Act.

...which is why the paper is coming under serious attack. We talk about that too.

I also ask Kevin if he thinks we are...

In this episode, I speak with my friend Angela Sheehan, about her newly launched Ark of Wellness retreat center. 

Angela was one of the first to question what hospitals were doing to patients under the Covid-19 protocols. She talks about that experience, and about her journey since leaving that job.

We also talk about the new wellness retreat center she has just opened up in Kentucky, the Ark of Wellness. The Ark will be holding its first retreat later this month, from June 26-29th. 

The Ark of Wellness can be found here.

In 2019, a study from Denmark by Hviid, et al, purported to demonstrate that there was no link between the MMR vaccine and autism, even among genetically susceptible populations.

The study was strongly critiqued at the time, and now, journalist Jeremy R. Hammond, along with Dr. Brian Hooker and Dr. Jeet Varia, has published a paper that addresses the serious flaws in Hviid et al, in the Journal of Biotechnology and Biomedicine. 

I talk with Jeremy about Hviid et al, and about his own paper, and about the state of research into the connection between vaccines a...

While the world is still coming to terms with the effects the mRNA products have had on those who have taken them — and on those who have not — something even more dangerous is being rolled out: Self-Amplifying RNA products.

Canadian researcher Dr. Jessica Rose has dug deep into the topic. In this interview, I ask her to explain exactly what SA RNA is, how it is different from the mRNA technology, and why it could be dangerous.

We also talk about shedding, from both SA RNA and mRNA, and about the actions each of us can...

I speak again with RN and medical-freedom activist Sierra Hamm, about what's going on in the world of protecting the blood supply and helping folks to access blood that is not contaminated with the mRNA product.

We discuss her organization, Reconciliation, and what it's been up to, as well as some legislation she's been helping to develop. We also talk about why blood banks are cracking down on directed donations, and what they really do with all the blood they are given!

Most importantly, we talk about new developments in testing and analysis for blood...

As RFK Jr. is grilled by a roomful of politicians about his plans to re-shape public health agencies, I speak with classical homeopath Sarah Thompson about how we got to this point.

We talk about the history of the political takeover of medical practice, education, and research, including the founding of the AMA and the economic incentives behind this power grab.

We also talk specifically about homeopathy, and about the long-standing relentless assault on this particular modality by the medical establishment. We talk about the fundamental difference in paradigms between the two modalities, and why...

Tom Luongo likes to pull on threads. He keeps pulling no matter where they take him, even they lead places that challenge some of the most deeply held convictions of libertarians.

In this episode, we talk (again) about Tom's view that – in this particular moment in time – we might want to be cheering for the US Federal Reserve, because it could be that it is fighting a beast that is much bigger, more dangerous, and has the potential to centralize power over our lives in ways that even the Fed cannot. Tom gives us some indicators to watc...

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Clinton Ohlers, Vice President and Director of Media Relations for SafeBlood, an organization that helps to match donors with recipients in need of blood that does not contain components of an mRNA injection.

We talk about why there is a need for "safe" blood donations, and how SafeBlood works. We also discuss the development of a test to determine whether or not blood has been contaminated by the mRNA product.

We also talk about the impact of censorship and shadow banning, and about how you can help support...

In this episode, I speak with economist Dale Steinreich about our dysfunctional health-care system (in the US), and about health insurance in particular.

What is wrong with health insurance? Why does it so often seem to operate against the interests of its consumers, rather than for their benefit? Does this represent some kind of failure of the free market? Or is something else at work here?

We go into the nature of health "insurance" in an interventionist marketplace, and the history of how we got here. This is an insightful episode, and you'll come away...

In April of 2021, then-Labour-leader Keir Starmer visited the city of Bath on one of those visits where politicians walk around a place and pretend to care about the people who live there. 

He wasn’t prepared for what Bath resident, and proprietor of The Raven Pub, Rod Humphris, had to tell him. Humphris gave Starmer a piece of his mind about the destructive and authoritarian lockdowns, and then when the Labour leader tried to take refuge in the pub Humphris owned, he threw him out.

The whole thing is beautiful, and you can see video of...

I speak with independent journalist Jeremy Hammond, about the upcoming presidential elections, and about the nature of voting, and of the state, generally.

Is it more responsible to refrain from participating in an illegitimate system founded on coercion? Or should we strive to make things better by choosing the lesser of two evils?

Jeremy is the author of several books, including Obstacle to Peace: The US Role in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, and The War on Informed Consent: The Persecution of Dr. Paul Thomas by the Oregon Medical Board (Children’s Health Defense).

There has never been a period in my own lifetime when American people have had so little trust in, or regard for, the nation's government. Witnessing the events of the past four-plus years – or indeed, the past couple of weeks – one might rightly declare that we have reached peak clown show in the realm of governance.

So is it time to just cut it loose? Would it be better for states to simply go their own ways, and let the feds continue to flounder? And if so, what are the mechanisms by which they might do this? Woul...

What is "fiat science"? It's what you get when the state creates a lot of money out of thin air, then hands out bunches of it to scientific establishments, where decisions are made not on the basis of market forces, but on the basis of political ones.

I speak with genetics expert and founder and CSO of Medicinal Genomics, Kevin McKernan, about why fiat science is a problem, the utter failure of the regulatory state, what needs to change – and what is starting to change.

If you're still saying "peer-reviewed" like it's a good thing, you...

“Unfettered capitalism” creates a “dog-eat-dog” world in which the strong profit at the expense of the weak, everyone only looks out for their own interests, and society becomes selfish, atomized, and less human, with its members caring only about making money, not about each other.

So goes the standard mainstream view of a free society, and free markets. If you went to a government school, you heard some version of this.

Economist Guido Hulsmann has a new book out that tears this caricature to shreds. In Abundance, Generosity, and the State: An Inquiry into Economic Principl...

Rebecca Charles' daughter Danielle had a slight cough, fever and pulse-ox reading of 88 when she walked into the hospital on August 27th, 2021. Hospital staff then spent 40 days administering hospital protocols that Rebecca says resulted in her death, at 28 years of age.

Danielle had special needs, and had had someone with her at all times during her life. In the hospital, she was isolated, forcibly restrained, deprived of food, and prohibited from seeing her mother.

Rebecca has filed a malpractice and negligence suit against the hospital staff, in Nassau Supreme Court, NY, and we discuss that...

Does God want women to be silent and submissive? Kaeley Triller, author of the Substack, "Honest to Goodness", has a lot to say on the topic.

We talk about Kaeley's changing relationship with the church, and with God, about scripture, and about how to discern truth in spiritual matters. We dig at the roots of the battle of the sexes, and ask what happens "when you sideline half of God's army."

Kaeley stresses that she is not a Biblical scholar, but points her readers to a few scholars such as Ben Witherington, Craig Keener, N...

I’ve posted before about efforts to create “safe” blood supplies and networks, for those of us who don’t want to risk being exposed to the mRNA product in the event that we may need a blood transfusion.

The missing piece – until now – has been that none of these networks are able to provide blood in cases of emergency, when it is needed immediately. That is about to change.

In this episode, I speak with fellow Kentuckian, nurse, and founder of WeAreTheControlGroup, Sierra Hamm, about a new project that will create a “safe” blood su...

When I discovered Kristi Yapp's Substack, "On This Day, Last Year – Six Months of Turbo Cancer", my reaction was something along the lines of "finally! Now we have our Solzhenitsyn!"

Kristi is too modest to accept the comparison, but I think it is apt. We've had mountains of reporting on the effects of the experimental gene therapy for Covid-19, we've seen the excess death numbers, the myocarditis studies, the increased cancer rates. But while all of these facts and numbers tell an important story, they don't touch us in the same way that the intimate details of one...

I speak with Samuel Bornman, author of "Of Wizards and Warriors", the first in a fantasy adventure series written from a Christian perspective, with boys in mind. We talk about what boys need from fiction that they're not getting, some of the problems with modern children's literature, transhumanism and our relationship with technology, and why Samuel has had trouble getting his book into Christian bookstores.

You can find "Of Wizards and Warriors" on Amazon.

Samuel writes on Substack, here.

And if you sign up for his newsletter, here, Samuel will send you a...

Like most libertarians, The Brownstone Institute's Jeff Tucker has long been a proponent of open borders. So have I. But we both feel that events of the past few years require a more thoughtful response than the standard anti-state-border rhetoric. Including, perhaps, admissions that we've been wrong all along.

Have we?

Jeff and I explore some of the complexities of the current crisis along the southern border of the US, the Texas standoff, and immigration more generally. What's happening at the border goes well beyond what we generally think of as "immigration", and Jeff and...

"A Paradise for Parents" is not your ordinary assisted-living facility. While the past four years have witnessed elder care descend to what can only be described as abusive levels of isolation and neglect, Hal Cranmer, who heads up "A Paradise for Parents'" five locations in Arizona, does things very differently.

We talk about Hal's approach to giving his elderly residents their best possible lives, including a commitment to dietary and exercise regimes that have helped many to improve both physical and mental health. Hal says they've actually had seven residents go back to their own homes because...

I speak with economist Bob Murphy about what needs to happen in order to heal the deep dysfunction that is healthcare in America. If you think we can "reform" our way out of this mess, you might need to listen to this interview. We unravel the complexities of regulation, the insurance industry, licensing, and what an alternative way might look like.

Bob's book on "surviving the sick-care sinkhole" is here.

The Bob Murphy show is here, and you can find Bob on Twitter here.

My recent episode on medical licensing can be found...

When newly elected President of Argentina Javier Milei described his anarcho-capitalist position, he referenced economist Bob Murphy's Chaos Theory. So I asked Bob to come on the show and explain to everyone what anarcho capitalism IS.

We cover a lot of ground in this one, discussing how a society could operate with privatized justice, law enforcement, and even defense, and taking on all of the usual objections, from the control of nuclear weaponry to preventing new states from arising. Bob even answers the age-old question: Why should anarcho capitalists move to Somalia?

Prepare to have...

"Good cops kill Jesus," says Dominic Scarcella, author of "Good Neighbor, Bad Citizen: Reflections on the core social conflict revealed by Jesus Christ's Way of the Cross."

We cover a lot of ground in this interview: Can one be a good neighbor and also a "good citizen"? Or are the two fundamentally at odds? Should Christians put their faith in the authority of the Bible, or religious leaders? Or are they responsible for discerning truth for themselves? When and how did Jesus' church become more aligned with "good citizenship" than with good neighborliness? How does one find...

Canadian restaurateur Jesse Johnson had his business taken from him and destroyed by the Candadian government because he refused to discriminate against patrons who had not been vaccinated against Covid-19. The charges against him were later dropped, but the damage had already been done. 

We talk about what happened, what was lost, the reaction of those around him, and the methods the government uses to exert total control over small business owners. We also talk about what's next, including legal action against the government.

What's clear from this story is that we need an awful l...

If you think that there's something necessary or good about medical licensing, you might want to tune in to this episode. In it, independent journalist Jeremy R Hammond and I demolish some of the myths around medical licensing. You might be surprised by what you hear.

Jeremy's articles on "Why Medical Licensing Should be Eliminated" can be found here and here.

And here is some of the analysis we referenced:

I speak with Jeremy Hammond, independent journalist and author of the book Obstacle to Peace: The US Role in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. We go over some of the history underlying the conflict, untangle some of the myths, and ask the question: When state actors on both sides thrive on continued violence, and are themselves obstacles to peace, is there any hope for peace, and what can ordinary people do to help bring it about?

Jeremy's website is here, and his book can be found here.

There's a new film out, and it's probably not like anything you've seen before. I sat down with Larken and Amanda Rose to talk about "Jones Plantation" - what's so special about it, and how it is that a film with such a powerful anti-state message is finding itself so well received even outside of anarchist and liberty-minded circles.

I also ask their advice for other creatives in the liberty community - a small but growing population - and they have some valuable tips for other filmmakers, artists and fiction writers wanting to get their work out...

Tomorrow is the day we all celebrate Susan's Still Alive Day, so I sat down with Susan herself, to talk about how the holiday began and what it means.

We also take on the issue of focus - addressing the importance of being intentional in where we put our focus, and the ways in which medical-freedom advocates (and others) can trip ourselves up with our beliefs about where our focus ought to be - and faith.

Susan May hosts the Gather and Get Moving group on Facebook, and Rise Up with Susan May.

We all know vaccines don't cause autism, because we're not allowed to talk about it on social media. So the science must be settled, right?

I sit down with journalist Jeremy R. Hammond, to ask the question we're not supposed to ask. You might be surprised by what he has to say.

You can find Jeremy's work here.

Jeremy's book is The War on Informed Consent, and I can't recommend it highly enough. By telling the story of what happened to Dr. Paul Thomas when he published peer-reviewed research on health outcomes between...

I speak with Jeff Tucker about his recent article, "Downton Abbey, the Corruption of the Great Families, and the Future of Freedom."

We talk about Downton Abbey, its insights into the role of the "great families" in a free society, and also the massive transfer of wealth and power - from private to public - that took place during the period chronicled by the show, and which continues in spades in the 21st century.

We discuss the actual workings of a free society - something most Americans and Britons alive today have little direct experience...

The Rogue Food Conference starts today, so I thought it would be a good time to share my conversation with Niti Bali - the "high priestess of the pasture", according to Joel Salatin. 

We cover a lot of ground in this one, from the centralization of food, medicine, and most other important aspects of our lives, to the difference between religion and morality, and the legitimate role of experts in society. 

But the overarching theme is that of taking radical responsibility for our lives at all levels.

Niti's website is here, and you ca...
