Absolute patriot whos ancestors are smiling upon him:

Addressing the court Tuesday, Hale quoted the words often attributed to his famed ancestor: “My only regret is that I have but one life to give to my country, whether here or in prison.”

It's amazing that libertarians still have to be told this. You only have control insofar that .gov aligned people don't know what you are up to, and this has always been the case. Privacy is the only important right, and the lolbertarians have been on the forefront of "private company bro" excuses for destruction of this.

All you have to do is take over the licensing cartels. Any sane person realizes what a national security risk these are, but .gov doesn't care because the license raj is how they get their suck-off. Let entryists pervert it, who cares as long as they get theirs.

I mean, that makes sense, as much of the problems there have only been exacerbated by foreign intervention. Good luck having the do-gooder US Government respect their wishes however. I expect "regime change" if any significant reforms actually happen to resolve the ongoing problems there.

I figured as much

Havana Syndrome is really their brains being rotted due to being demonically possessed

They finally grew a sack. Fitting, since Merkel's finally on the way out.

~370MPH. Fun

Parallels to '73. Mish's take here. I think eventually the FED will unlawfully magick their liabilities into legal tender, but not before a big crash.

Turns out most of what are called "student loans" don't actually qualify for non-dischargeability. As always, color of law is the rule of the day.

Voice can't work on organizations which have "ass kissing" as the selection mechanism. Exit won't work because managerialism is worldwide. So, what's left? Reset.

Crucially, it appears that only after the introduction of the informant did any actual arrangements to commit a criminal act come into existence.

Huge if true.

The wages of inflation. Expect Arab Spring like unrest in 3...2...1...

Shocking no one

They're far more likely to defend them from China than the US is.

Continuing the long tradition of flaming coffins used by the US army

For "vaccine misinformation". Nobody really cares anymore that this is all massively unlawful and outrageous unwarranted search.

UN "Peacekeeping" going how you expect it to

Shocking literally nobody. How else do you make a system work which employs so many useless bureaucrats?

As always the "democratic" state considers it's subjects property, not owners.

The FIB finds a way to make a militia out of everything

His contrast with the USA is worth noting as a chaser. Rome disintegrated when citizenship became a liability rather than a benefit; "For good and Evil" lays this out crystal clear -- people sold themselves into slavery to avoid it.

That's essentially the lesson for the USA, and we're there right now in relative terms save on one key point. American citizenship by no means has free travel or financial freedom anywhere close to the rest of the west. Massive taxes which bring 0 benefit. The only thing holding it together is the massive resource subsidy thanks to dollar hegemony. The second that ends, the USA ends because they destroyed everything else good about being an American citizen.

Bad news for the Qatari Monarchy. They should probably consider joining the Trucial states sooner rather than later.
