A History Of Violence

September 27, 2022 Andrew Elliott 01:53:29

Have you wondered how government became the way it is? In this episode, I take a look at the history of the state. How states came into being and how they morphed into the totalitarian juggernauts they are today.

We also answer a question about voluntaryism from one of our listeners and talk a little about delicious rocks.

What Will You Tolerate?

September 13, 2022 Andrew Elliott 01:51:12

You probably think the government does some good things. It’s why you vote.

You might think that at least some regulation is needed to prevent sub standard goods entering the market place. Possibly you think that the state is the only mechanism for courts, the police and… roads.

Perhaps you think the safety net of the NHS and income support can only be provided by government.

If so, just what are you willing to tolerate?

How many bad things can the government do before you say no?

How many lives have to be destroyed by lockdowns?

How many wars need to be started?

How many children need to be starved to death in Yemen?

I ask again. What will you tolerate?

Can you be a centrist on everything?

August 19, 2022 Andrew Elliott 01:26:32

Is it possible to have a moderate/centrist view on a conspiracy theory?

How about something as simple as food? Are vegans and carnivore the extremists and omnivores to sensible centrists?

We discuss spectra other than the classic political left/right axis and whether there are any other nuanced, moderate positions that we might hold.

Balance signalling

August 7, 2022 Nic Elliott 01:49:53

Why are some people sound on some topics yet catastrophic on others

Is it a deliberate tactic to not get branded a conspiracy theorist? Is it a form of signalling?

In this podcast we try to get to the bottom of this strange but common phenomenon before talking about vaccines, political journeys and the difference between being green and being good for the environment.

Why now?

August 5, 2022 Nic Elliott 01:47:04

The world economy is collapsing. But why would the vice wielders, those that pull the strings of governments, the media & big corporations, want to destroy what they’ve spent decades, even hundreds of years creating?

And why now? The last two and half years have seen a rapid acceleration in the sheer force of what the cathedral are willing to push. Is there a reason why governments are going full totalitarian in the 20s.?

Bodily Autonomy, Bugs, Birth Rates, Bicyclism and Blax Cuts

July 14, 2022 Andrew Elliott 02:25:00

Today’s episode is brought to you by the letter “B”. Not intentionally, but a few topics started with it and we managed to crowbar a few more in.

We start off with the repeal of Roe v Wade and ask why pro choice libertarians don’t seem to think moving decisions closer to the people they affact is a good idea. Andrew has an idea to kill two birds with one stone: shutting the left up about reparations whilst proving how good tax cuts can be.

Unfortunatel, we couldn’t not talk about the plumeting birth rates all over Europe and talk a little about just how statistically improbable the rate of change is, showing just how serious a position society is in.

While we’re in a dark place, we discuss eating bugs. A topic that never seems to go away. Nic completely refuses to even entertain the idea although Andrew toys with the idea of eating a bug burger, if it’s delicious enough.

Finally, Andrew gets a few things off his chest with regards to cyclists…

Dark

July 4, 2022 Nic Elliott 02:30:19

We questioned whether or not to even release this edition of Sounding Board. Recorded on 10 May 2022, it’s one of our longest recordings – but its dark.

It’s Andrew’s turn to be feeling a bit low on humanity. From the destruction of food processing plants to Bill Gates’ new book, the Pfizer document drops to depopulation, we discuss all the negatives facing the world.

Can we find something positive in all the mess? Maybe when we discuss inflation, CBDCs and crypto currencies.

And can Iron Maiden pull Andrew out of his bad mood?

Thinking Things Through

June 14, 2022 Andrew Elliott 01:17:47

Sometimes people just don’t think things through. They don’t think about the ramifications or simple interpretations of what they are spreading around.

Andrew has some observations of examples of precisely these viral memes and trends that were truly wide of the mark, but not maybe in the way you originally thought.

Does it change your perception?

Nic then talks about how his children seem to be following his lead when it comes to understanding the role of the police and central banks, and how a simple childrens story about “happytown” has a great message about tyranny.

And what about diet? It’s not just propaganda that you need to protect your children from, it’s seed oils as well.

Finally, Andrew revisits some important statistics about the number of people who have never been jabbed. There really are more than you realise.

Would everybody just shut up about Yemen

March 29, 2022 Nic Elliott 02:01:18

Isn’t it funny how suddenly everyone is concerned with a foreign power bombing and invading a neighbour thousands of miles away, yet that is exactly what has been happening for nearly 8 years, but in a different part of the world.

The media and the politicians tell you you must focus on Ukraine now, and with simple binary options for who is good and who is bad. But why no focus on Yemen? And is it as simple as one side = good, the other = bad?

We discuss the horrific situation in Yemen, and give some of its complex history, and compare it to the situation in Ukraine, and its history of being a puppet state dominated by its neighbours too.

Of course it could all be a distraction. What exactly has come out in Covidland while everyone has been focused on Ukraine? Is it merely a cover for bad news from the vaccines?
