i live in louisiana they just passed a law where probable cause is not needed to search your car anymore

[HABAKKUP]

there is no such thing as privilege!! there is no authority..lol!..never was!..governments are null and void..just as no such thing as rights! freedom is free..no authority!!

[bkr360]

99% - WE ARE TEST SUBJECTS - THE FED. GOV...ITS BIG SIS, WATCHING YOU...

[MARINE1146]

I carry "open" here in Nevada EVERY SINGLE DAY! I have done so for 15 years straight. 

[MARINE1146]

The second amendment IS my Goddamned concealed carry "permit!"

[MARINE1146]

You're right Alex, IT IS A FULL-ON ASSAULT ON US! And yet we still have people like you and others who believe and promote the idea that our rights and lifestyles can be resolved peacefully... That is sad and delusional at best!!

Off with their fucking heads!

[louloub5]

i was told the US is a corporation under the british? is that true?

[coffee2bsmelt]

@louloub5 yes, but it's not the British, it's the British Establishment. Our government is as far from us as yours is... We the people (worldwide need to realise that, regardless of thoughts, creed or colour are the same and are descent.

It's our Establishment elite who are corrupt. I've travelled all over the world and a people are mostly descent

[cchessmaster]

@louloub5 Yes.

[NorthWolfe]

Great interview Alex, aside from the God stuff!

[NorthWolfe]

Keep your god out of this. Humans have unalienable rights, natural rights, and self entitle rights. No Atheist I know believes in "The Government as god", that would be contrary to Atheist proof that there is no god. What I've noticed is that Ignorant Americans associate Totalitarian States with Atheists, which of course is totally false.

Your Fake Christian god equals slavery, entrapment, sheep-mode. After all he was INVENTED to preserve the Roman Empire!

Atheism equals True Libertarianism!

[MrELOPNE]

Police have arrested 156 supporters of the English Defence League in order to prevent a breach of the peace, Scotland Yard said.It is understood the EDL supporters were planning to target Occupy LSX protesters outside St Paul's Cathedral.

Arrested to prevent now that says it all EDL to attack LSX what a joke

If they think you are going to commit a crime you can now be arrested 100% in your face proof.

1984 thought police Oh My God

[Sounds4theInfowar]

Michael Badnarik is a friggin hero.

If you havnt done so WATCH his Constituion class. You can find it on youtube.

[chewycandy666]

Their probable cause to search our vehicles is when we say "no you can't", this is when they tell you ,"you just gave me probable cause, because you said no, you may be hiding something, you may be a wanted criminal". The vulcan mind trip. Then they threaten you with jail time. Knowing your rights ia good thing, but exercising them is another story as the criminals seem to disconcern themselves with rights. Many will give in just to get through the check point.Peace.

[jerryfarabee]

Gun control. The ability to hit what your shooting at.

[NOLA556]

*facepalm* at Alex for bringing up atheism....

look, I'm an atheist, and I (obviously) don't believe my rights came from any god. now, I happen to agree with that little paper list called the Bill of Rights and CONUS.. as an atheist, I don't care where my rights came from. but I know I have them, and I have plenty of free ammo for anyone looking to take my rights away.

nuff said.

[dreamtime182]

So true Alex, becoming aware of the how the system brainwashes you, and then learning those lessons and applying them in terms of benefitting your lifestyle and dealing with corrupt salesmen, with internet scammers, with dodgy characters, corrupt religions and others seeking to use instinctive brainwashing. Its so great advice.

[bigjz420]

Mr. Badnarik, why do the police get the status of expert witnesses? That automatically disqualifies the whole truth and gives them that supreme authority over all of our constituional rights. Probable cause is a farce.

[RJN4444]

Michael Badnarik is an inspiration.

[KillBaddBugz]

LONG LIVE THE 2ND AMENDMENT 

[bistnenutte]

no i dont agree, u cant just simply carry firearms and guns on you with out a license. its dangerous and shouldnt be taken lightly. if u want to conseal your gun than get a license. for mult purpouses one being sefety. what u really want just any schmuck to carry a gun on them? im good on that, and doubt im alone when i say its reckless to let people just carry guns on them anywhere. at home, diff story. in public, no fucking thanx!! im not saying no one shld, but get a license if u want 2. :)

[KillBaddBugz]

Whoa such an important conversation here! Saving this! Terrific *****

[KillBaddBugz]

Awesome! I voted Harry Browne in '96 and again in 2000. =D I was accused by some of my friends of "throwing my vote away". But if so many more Americans would outside of the "big two" parties maybe we could see a much needed political paradigm shift here in States! Damn the duopoly!

Cheers!

Great report!

[ggalbraith]

You all are able to regurgitate the info you receive but are you preparing for the inevitable? Do you own weapons, armor, food, and water to last you through the Great Battle that is coming? The collapse will come as soon as enough people wake up. Don't think that you will make it out alive with only 50 cans of food and a pistol. Get ready now!

[alpidistra]

Libertarians always talk about the tyranny of government but they never condemn the concept of the private corporation which hijacks the government and imposes that very tyranny they so oppose. They don't condemn the concept of a multinational corporation which has no loyalty to any nation and supersedes the sovereign nation state. The private corporation is a perpetual "person" with a permanent charter. This is private tyranny, not government.

[residentzombie]

@alpidistra because libertarians understand that it's because of the gov't allowing the collusion with big business to fulfil the gov't agenda. The gov't restricts competition for these corporations and give them an unfare trade advantage due to corporate welfare. It is human nature to be greedy. We all are. This is why libertarians agree alot with anarchists. It's a philosophy of people problem. People don't understand how the systems work or proper ethics and morals of co-existence with others

[alpidistra]

@residentzombie A government of the people, by the people and for the people, holds as its inalienable right, the ability to enact and maintain laws and regulations for the proper and equitable function of the nation. A Constitutional Republic is maintained by the rule of law, not the chaotic and selfish pursuit of the personal agendas of a privileged few. The perpetual charters of multinational corporations not answerable to the people is the antithesis of American democracy.

[residentzombie]

@alpidistra How did these so called privileged few become so privileged? Corporations answer to the people all the time. When the people buy the business' products the people are placing a vote. If no people buy those products that business loses influence and power and starts to fail.

[alpidistra]

@residentzombie No,they became privileged by creating monopolies and banding together inter gigantic multinational corporations which essentially created an entity superceding the sovereign nation state and the democratic process.They destroyed family-owned small business and main street.They destroyed the ability of the common man to support himself with dignity by operating his own business.They destroyed the sovereignty of the citizen, replacing it with slavery of being a consumer in debt.

[alpidistra]

@residentzombie If you believe that Monsanto and Halliburton are answerable to the people, you are severely delusional. You cannot escape corporate tyranny simply by not buying their products and services. A government controlled by corporate interests cannot be entrusted with the people's right of approving or denying charters. The legal status and process must be changed and put into the hands of citizens by direct vote.

[alpidistra]

@residentzombie Nowhere in the Constitution or in the founding documents of the United States does it allow for "stock holders" and "lobbyists" to cancel, amend or alter the unalienable rights of the sovereign citizen. We are citizens of a Constitutional Republic, not "consumers" of the multinational corporation. The American Revolution was a war against the very concept of the corporation. The Crown was and is in fact a corporation, not a sovereign state.

[residentzombie]

@alpidistra So you propose the Soviet Union as the answer? Socialism is the way to go. You fail to understand what money is and what gives money value. Watch this and understand: watch?v=LTQqFGLDdJ0

[alpidistra]

@residentzombie A debt free citizen operating his own small business is socialism??? You obviously didn't read or understand my comments. My point is that corporate dictatorship is no more free than the Soviet model. If you believe that a government should be of the people, then obviously the people have the right and obligation to protect their personal and national interests by preventing corporate monopolies and international banking cartels from destroying freedom.

[residentzombie]

@alpidistra We do this through the process of the free market. Consumers vote every time they send their wealth in the marketplace. The people will vote no confedence for bad businesses eventually and they will go under due to lack of customers buying what they are selling. Customers will go elsewhere.

[alpidistra]

@residentzombie Your comment proves very clearly the fallacy of Libertarian ideology because of its insistence on the naive notion that all economic activity is simply a natural free flowing process without any manipulations or intrigues. You simply can't conceive the possibility that the super rich would get together and form corporate monopolies in order to crush the little guy. If you think that a Main Street filled with antique shops and pawn shops is normal, enjoy your visit to Walmart!!

[residentzombie]

@alpidistra Whenever the government tries to prevent monopolies, what they are doing is actually helping to create monopolies. Haven't you figured this out yet? Ron Paul did a while ago. Here is a good interview regarding how anti-trust laws are used to create monopolies: watch?v=8C4gRRk2i-M

[residentzombie]

@alpidistra Here is Milton Friedman discussing anti-trust and monopolies:  watch?v=vMvVmlDN0nY&feature=re­lated

[cogrn73]

@alpidistra corporations don't get big on their own. people have to buy their shit or use their services the power to control corporations lies with the public but they must be educated enough about the system they participate in to direct their influence to the right area of the market. if a corp is out of control or acting irresponsibly toward the public you remove its support. don't buy their shit anymore. the only hard part is the education. alot of misinfo out there. reeducation is harder

[grady1610]

@cogrn73 You nailed it. This is the one thing we humans can do that will make a difference. Demand only products meant to last.

[cogrn73]

with the current economic system this is impossible because if the people try to control the market the gov can step in and spend the peoples money for them it was designed to max out eco growth at the expense of resources and the environment and the public.

[alpidistra]

@cogrn73 You people have it backwards. Private corporations buy, infiltrate and hijack government, not the other way around as you suggest. Your law-of-the-jungle system will always have the most corrupt and selfish gravitate towards positions of power. It is libertarian principles which got America where it is today. Jefferson warned about private banks taking over.  I tend to agree with the opinions and solutions articulated by Webster Tarpley.

[cogrn73]

@alpidistra you have take my comment out of context i think. it was a 2nd page did u see the first or are u just trolling 4 someone to F with? if you think the tyranny lies with an amorphous group of corporate america interested in their individual wealth u have some waking up to do. and it was certainly not libertarian principles that got us here. u really have not grasped the concept as well as u think. there was corporate corruption in politic since the beginning. never been libertaianism.

[cogrn73]

@alpidistra what most are failing to realize these days is the ultimate responsibility lies with the public. none of these corporations got to where they are without us to buy their shit and use their services. we have the numbers we just don't have the brains. if people were more educated about how they can influence the market they can take the control back. but it must be a free market. in this economic system the gov. spends the peoples money whey they will not so we can never have control

[cogrn73]

@alpidistra it is keynesian economics and the people who installed it 100 or so years ago that are ultimately to blame. around same time that corporations gained personhood too 1880's i think. look up Bancroft Davis he did it illegaly and it stuck. if it wasn't for that corps would have no political influence. so i don't know how you call a system designed to remove the publics control of it's money Libertarian.

[cogrn73]

@alpidistra libs don't condemn the "private corporation" because it is not the problem. are you attacking private bizness? it is a few extremely large powerful megaconglomerates that control policy. not all private corporation.

[alpidistra]

If Libertarians oppose all government regulation, why do they decry the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act?? Isn't this hypocrisy?

[cogrn73]

@alpidistra are you familiar with what the repeal of glass steagall did? it gave more power to the banks. hence the mortgage crisis. libertarians want to return power to the market, the market controlled by the people not the corporations.

There is a psych thing going on, it's all mental. We are becoming aware of it, The LEGION will defeat the evil.

what's mr. jones i just wanna know can you see if can get professor griff from public enemy to be on your show.

[alienhddna]

wake up people i tested the system and paid for i tested the system at school i went to the bath room with out asking can i go first i got suspend for 2 day just testing the system

[bfudge85]

@HARMLESSPictures I want your true take on my comment. You said who cares who 'gives' us our rights. Well for a fact I do care because I do not want rights that were givin to me by corrupt people. Aka elites. Would you be fine with the right to have no rights at all? That is what the elites want. I am a believer in god yes I wont throw it in your face. But would you rather have your rights from Christians or the elites? Please respond. Thanks.

[solarDeviant]

@bfudge85 Good point

[HARMLESSPictures]

@bfudge85 I would like rights that are simple and just. To assume that the 'elites' have given up our rights are wrong. They are good at enforcing laws but I don't think they invented law, they've developed a way to bend the law, however, with their money. Common law is simple, do not harm or cause loss, in any form. No rights at all? I don't know. Isn't having no rights that same as having all rights. No rule need apply. That sort of thing.

[bfudge85]

@HARMLESSPictures Thank your take on what you think could, should, is or might happen. not even i know what hand they play in laws. i just looked at in a pure way thats all.

[ComCodex]

I don't need a storm god giving me my rights. I agree with HARMLESSPictures on this.

[munkirinch]

0_0 i opening

[HARMLESSPictures]

C'mon Alex. I'm an atheist. So what. Who cares who 'gives' us rights. It's the people who enforce them that's the problem.

[6mechanix6]

@HARMLESSPictures athiest cant believe in true liberty...so what do you want?? liberty is founded on christianity and god...you have right to be an athiest but constitution...that was written by christians gave you that right! so believe in god or not the founders did and they gave us liberty

[solarDeviant]

@6mechanix6 Well said

[HARMLESSPictures]

@6mechanix6 I live in Australia - where we have a constitutional monarch. Another ridiculous figure head lording over the country. How gave the royal family their royalty. This who think is stupid to me. I still think that Americans have a real problem with the whole separation of church and state thing.

[6mechanix6]

@HARMLESSPictures yes church and state are seperate according to the constitution...but doesnt mean this country wasnt found on god...but you see how they twist it..so this asshat here in his little pea brain will believe that athiesm leads to true liberty?? lol religions can be real twisted ...but doesnt mean that god isnt there

[killuminati91112]

@HARMLESSPictures Still leaves us with a problem don't it?

[HARMLESSPictures]

@killuminati91112 Yup.

Open carry a 12 gauge shotgun is the best deterrent to crime.

[muzapstar]

@Alexia8099 That's a great idea. I don't have the balls to do that though.

[bistnenutte]

@Alexia8099 or maybe legalization and decriminalization of all drugs. there.. i said it.
