"Unintended Consequences" by John Ross.

An awesome page-turner with plenty of little factoids for the people who don't want to live in a police state.

[pennsays]

@Ebbonified The book Penn is reading, though, is called Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.

Penn, please pick up the two best novels about realistic rebellion in our time, and read them, and give us your opinions on them. I can't recommend "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross, highly enough. (His essay "How Drug Laws Hurt Gun Owners" is also amazing, from "The New Prohibition" ed Bill Masters, also from Accurate Press). Also, read "Molon Labe" by Boston T. Party (violent rebellion that contains political synergy and "anarcho-zionism" or Free State Project ideas as well) 9072505503

@libertarianjury I'm not Penn, I just help out with the comments.

There is no rational justification for Zionism, so its defenders never even try to offer one. They simply attack any who decry the suffering of maimed and killed Palestinian children, victims of Zionist atrocity. Zionism = Racism and Genocide and looting of US taxpayers' pockets.

Penn Jillette claims to be a militant atheist, but like other loud tele-atheists on Zionist US Mainstream Media, he is a secular Jew who never mentions Zionism, like Bill Maher and Christopher Hitchens. Shills.

Zionist media yells "Islamofascist" & "Scientologist" 24/7. Never criticizes Israel's Zionist fanatical government committing apartheid/genocide against the Palestinians. Humanitarian Jews everywhere including Noam Chomsky, Tony Judt, Sir Gerald Kaufman, as well as Amnesty International have condemned Israel for war crimes. They've been smeared by usual Zionist kneejerk accusation of "antisemite" and "self-loathing Jew," exploiting the memory of the holocaust to justify Palestinian genocide.

Didn't agree with Penn on everything, but I sure do miss him all these months later, since he's quit posting via Crackle. Most other vloggers are much more predictable. So I'll so the Shane bit - Penn - come back, Penn!

Spam? Usually Penn Jillette's videos are spammed by his publicist and fanboys. Anti-Semitic? Decrying apartheid/genocide committed by Israeli Zionist fanatics paid for by cynical US politicians/Big Oil has nothing to do with Jews. "We have to find a stronger word than 'atrocity' to describe what Israel is doing to the Palestinians." -- Noam Chomsky. AIPAC owns US media, but their idiot propaganda that critic of Israel = Nazi, once deeply ingrained in American culture, is fading fast.

[IoEstasCedonta]

Okay, what the hell. Someone's spammed the thumbs and the comment feed with mad anti-Semitic rhetoric. On a Penn Says video?

[IoEstasCedonta]

@mmmrazor ..."Scientologist"?

[IoEstasCedonta]

I'd always heard it that for long stretches of European history, into the 19th century in places, usury was so broadly defined that most of those we'd today call "venture capitalists" would be guilty, but it was considered a "blue law," so only Christians could be charged, leaving Jews to fill the niche, leaving many of them already raised into white-collar environments going into the industrial revolution.

Outliers? Unintended consequences? Reminds me of "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

[doombuggy123]

I never liked unnecessary pride in things you couldn't have controlled, like the city you were born and raised in or the country you live in. Excessive patriotism just seems silly to me. But when you live in a culture that accommodates the straight, white man and his rights, a sense of pride in your race, gender and sexuality is necessary in order to earn that same social equality.

@mmmrazor noam chomsky? don't make me laugh.if hamas would stop the killing so would israel.it is all hamas' fault even a five year old palestinian girl knows this.hamas is to blame.

[killswitchawesome]

Freakonomics and SUPERFreakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner is all about those unintended consequences and its great, i highly recommend it.
