Connor Freeman is a writer at the Libertarian Institute, where he covers issues in noninterventionist foreign policy, focusing on the middle east and America’s new cold war footing against Russia and China. His writing has also appeared at antiwar.com. Find all of his work here.

Connor joins me to discuss his most recent piece “Faux Populists Shill for the Permanent War State.” We also cover America’s New Cold War and those who are selling it. this is what appears to be a coordinated campaign involving prominent “alternative” voices, some of whom are beloved by libertarians. We also send a tough love wakeup call to fellow libertarians who spend more time talking about messaging, strategy, and drama than performing substantive work.

    This band, LOVEBITES, encourages SELF-empowerment, perseverance, integrity, dignity and unity in love, while exposing many of life’s harsh truths and asking relevant questions.
    Compositions and musicianship/performances are as good as I have seen in my 70 years of life.
    A most profound wisdom in M.D.O.: “Betrayals don’t ever come from your enemies.”
    From Edge of the World: “Why is there authority when there is no justice in their rulings?”
    btw, I am appreciative of your conversation with Mr. Freeman. I am a skeptic, in general.
    My own life-guide is stated: “mutual-respect through personal-empowerment with inclusive-cooperation, refusing coercion.”
    I welcome a response concerning this music/band/lyrics, my “guide” and my own music, found on the listed u2b channel “website” in a playlist titled “Why ill din the Streets/Welcome Home” (a ‘play’ on the film title “Wild in the Streets”) each song has a drawing of a guy with hand out, palm up with tree growing out of it, in place of video. Lyrics are in video descriptions.
    Thanks for your work. This program is my first time hearing what you have to say. I will listen to more…
