Lions of Liberty

In this week's Electric Libertyland, Brian McWilliams flicks his cigarette onto the flailing mass of straw men put forth by proponents of the absurd abomination known as "Net Neutrality." Join Brian as he sets ablaze the paper-thin arguments for regulation of the internet under Title II in a comprehensive and easy to understand lesson in the obvious. After driving the Net Neutrality demons out, Brian then turns to a coup within the Federalist Party and Democrats falling on their own petard after coalescing unilateral power for the Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Board with no checks or balances.

In today's episode, Marc welcomes back one of the most active libertarians he knows, the founder of various organizations including People Against the NDAA (PANDA) and The Solutions Institute, Dan Johnson! Dan returns to the show to discuss his latest venture, We Do Better! Dan presents an idea that people of nearly any politcal persuasion can be open to, and addresses head-on the idea that public services must be provided by government.  For show notes head over to LionsOfLiberty.com/323 Check out the Lions of Liberty Pride at Lionsofliberty.com/support

On today's show Larry Levine joins Felony Friday host John Odermatt for an entertaining and hard-hitting discussion. Larry is federal prison consultant. In April 2007, he founded American Prison Consultants, a legal service firm that provides information and federal criminal litigation assistance to lawyers, and offenders going through criminal proceedings and who are about to enter the federal prison system. On August 3, 1998, Levine was arrested in Northridge, California. He was convicted in December 1999, on conspiracy charges relating to narcotics trafficking, securities fraud, obstruction of justice, racketeering, and possession of automatic weapons. Levine was sentenced to ten years in federal prison. While in custody, Levine served time in 11 different Federal Correctional Institutions in California, Arizona, Texas, Nevada, and Oklahoma, where he educated himself in Federal Criminal Law, and upon release in 2007, became a renowned International expert on the U.S. Federal Criminal Justice System. This episode is marked explicit for a reason, so be prepared for plenty of cursing. Larry is a straight shooter and he doesn't sugar coat anything.

On this very special Thanksgiving edition of Electric Libertyland (episode 47), Brian welcomes in the drunken Lions of Liberty family: Marc Clair and John Odermatt, as well as extended liberty family from the Johnny Rocket Launchpad! Yes, Johnny "Rocket" Adams and Curt Nelson bring holiday cheers, jeers, and highly inappropriate humor to the liberty dining table, as has become our annual tradition. The gang gets into discussions on the "It's OK to be White" college sign flap, who's the biggest liberty turkey of the year, how absurdly sad and inconvenient a local Libertarian Party meeting location was, and then get down and dirty with rounds of "Cats Cradle" and "RocketFire" questions, which brings the issue of "who will build the space roads??" to bear. It's a whole lot of family dysfunction, just like in your own home! Show notes at Lions of Liberty @BrianMcWilliams @LionsofLiberty @JRLaunch

In today's episode, Marc is joined by the founder of the Libertarian Party's Mises Caucus, Michael Heise!

Can Michael and the Misesians reignite the Ron Paul Revolution? Tune in to find out!

On this week's ELL, Brian strips down the Louis C.K. dick wagging scandal and Roy Moore's alleged molestation of a teenaged girl, and how the loudest voices for morality and social reform often hide dark demons. Brian then looks into the latest developments in the assault on Rand Paul, a possible war between Saudi Arabia and Iran (and how the U.S. could be sucked in), scumbags at the DOJ trying to justify civil asset forfeiture and finishes up with a hilarious battle between two sets of undercover Detroit cops.   

On today's episode, Marc is joined by the the Director of Research and Strategy for Liberty in North Korea (LiNK), Sokeel Park! Marc and Sokeel discuss the perception of North Korea from the current generation of South Koreans, and what they are generally taught about the conflict in schools there. We then dig further ino the mission of LiNK, and how they go about assisting refugees who have fled North Korea, by helping to guide them along an escape route through China and into South Korea.  The situation in North Korea may be dire, but the work of Sokeel and others at LiNK is truly inspiring! Stay tuned after the interview for a special preview clip of last week's big bonus podcast for the Lions of Liberty Pride.

On today's show Daniel Wise, aka RDAP Dan, joins Felony Friday host John Odermatt. Daniel is the creator of the YouTube channel RDAP Dan, which provides real-world information for people to benefit who may be facing a federal prison sentence.

Ryan and Brian then get into Rand Paul's assault by a neighbor, then move to discuss National Day for the Victims of Communism and the state of education and public sentiment regarding communism, socialism and fascism, which is becoming more popular with Millenials.

On today's show, Marc is joined by Connor Drigotas, founder of the Better Money PAC, which aims to help political candidates who support their three tenets of support for cryptocurrencies, free markets and financial responsibilitity. Conner describes how hearing a certain libertarian Presidential candidate speak turned him onto the ideas of liberty (and it might surprise you which one!) and how his experience at an End the Fed rally inspired him to create the Better Money PAC. Conner and Marc discuss the importance of cryptocurrencies and the political challenges they are facing, why the massive $20 Trillion in debt should be seen as a grave danger, and Conner answers critics who oppose political action as antithetical to the ideas of liberty.  For full show notes head on over to LionsOfLiberty.com/320.

On today's episode New York City Mayoral candidate Aaron Commey joins host John Odermatt. Aaron is running for Mayor of New York City under the Libertarian Party banner. This is Aaron's second time on Felony Friday. He first appeared on Episode 26, where we discussed his controversial past. You see, Aaron Commey spent more than a decade in federal prison without ever having a criminal conviction. The incident, which occurred 17 years ago, was detailed in a recent NY Post article, NYC mayoral candidate once tried to hijack an airplane. Aaron admits he was severely mentally ill at the time he attempted to hijack an airplane. Ultimately, Aaron was charged with five crimes, including attempt to commit aircraft piracy. However, he was never convicted of a crime and he was found not guilty by reason of insanity in 2003, but still remained in the federal prison system until January of 2015. That's more than a decade where individuals, doctors employed by the federal prison system, essentially held him captive. Now Aaron is running for Mayor of NYC to advocate for changes to the system that caused him so much pain. Aaron's campaign is focused on reforming criminal justice and education. He seeks to improve economic conditions for low wage and middle wage families by increasing opportunities to escape poverty through entrepreneurship and small business ownership.

Today on Felony Friday Holli Coulman joins host John Odermatt to share a shocking story of injustice. Holli went ascended the corporate ladder over a 16 year period serving the administrative needs of senior and executive vice presidents at a large high-tech company, Hewlett Packard. She found herself targeted under a federal investigation. And upon legal advice she took a plea to avoid the exorbitant cost of taking her case to trial. Holli was given a 21-month sentence for one count of wire fraud with a restitution amount of 954K. Holli shares her experience and talks about the dangerous and abusive environment she was subjected to while incarcerated. The most shocking aspect of her time in prison was the two months of solitary confinement she was subjected to as a punishment for publishing blog posts that shared the mistreatment and danger she and her fellow inmates were exposed during her time at Victorville Federal Women's Camp.
