I mean a selection of recent interviews.
Okay, if you haven’t heard/seen yet, you gotta catch this:
A live television programme in Jordan descended into chaos, with a politician threatening an opponent with a gun. The debate between MP Mohammad Shawabka and political activist Mansour Murad became heated after the two men traded insults with each other. No shots were fired and no-one was seriously hurt.

Of course a similar thing happened in Greece just a few weeks ago. This is what happens when too many people forget.
And let’s not miss the opportunity to unmask the true gravity of the political class.

Adam Kokesh on Joe Rogan’s podcast:
You might remember back a few months ago when the video of the Kelly Thomas murder by a bunch of California thugs with guns and badges was finally released…a year after it happened.
I just came across Adam Carolla from when the incident was recent…

Government Regulation is Resulting in the Shortage of One of the Most Abundant Elements
@Being a libertarian bitch: If you found a pile of “the government’s” cash lying on the side of the street, I think the right thing to do with it would be to pocket it and never tell anyone (and of course, spend it). You certainly should not turn it over to the government. If you could find a way to literally steal piles of cash from the government without the government’s knowledge, ditto.
But, on balance, I don’t think this logic extends. For example, I see people buying electric or hybrid vehicles in order to qualify for tax breaks. This is idiotic. You should never “take the carrot” unless it was already in your interests (and how can buying an overpriced, gutless piece of junk with limited range possibly already have been in your interest??)
Do the paperwork to minimize your taxes, of course, but I think you need to try to free up as much mental/physical energy as you can to route around “the System” completely. The government has created a million different carrot-and-stick routines and the more involved you get with playing their game, the less you’re thinking about what your natural interests are without respect to the State’s table-tilting. And the more of your time and energy you spend altering your plans to qualify for tax breaks, handouts or free lunches at government expense, the less time and energy you have to think about much more important issues, like how you can earn cash income untraceably, how to store and spend it safely, etc.

Adam Kokesh: Dismantling Intellectual Property Myths
by Stephan Kinsella on July 10, 2012
Adam Kokesh, as noted in the post excerpted below, delivers a great short talk on IP. Related:
- Kinsella on Adam vs the Man: Copyright and Neo-Mercantilism

- Adam the Man vs. IP

Adam Kokesh beautifully discerns and dismantles the numerous flaws surrounding intellectual property, as interpreted and enforced by the government, and the very negative role intellectual property has in limiting market competition and societal advancement. As Adam explains, intellectual property indeed does not help the “little guy,” it actually puts precisely the “little guy” at a severe disadvantage to corporate giants and those with the lawyers and resources to use arbitrary government intellectual property and patent laws (backed by government force, as with all laws) as a dangerous tool to reduce and/or prevent competition (and innovation).
