The System is Down

On Tuesday, I spoke with the three elected officials of LPD, who were recently removed from their positions. On today's episode, we get the other side of the story, with alleged new Chairman of LPD, Will McVay and board member / coconspirator, Joe DiPasquale. Was this a corrupt purge of Mises Caucus members from office? Was this a necessary justified and filly legal action? Or was this something else entirely? Find out today, on The System is Down episode 276: The TAKE OVER of the Libertarian Party of Delaware w. Alleged Chairman, Will Mcvay & Joe DiPasquale. Question everything. Stay uncomfortable. Lets get weird.

In early October, three elected officials in the Libertarian Party of Delaware, were "removed" from their positions in what appears to be a whole lot of very shady bullshitery. From the sound of it, Bill Hinds (Chairman), Amy Lepore (Vice Chair), and show favorite and friend Dave Casey (State Board Rep), suddenly all had their elections overturned, for mean Tweets and Mises Caucus affiliations... you know, the hot new trend in the LP these days. Today, we get their side of the story, on what appears to be flagrant corruption in the party... On Thursday, we'll get the other side of the story, from acting-Chair, Will McVay. Stay tuned. Topics Discussed on this episode: What exactly caused the removal Were there grounds in the bylaws to justify such action Is the Mises Caucus as scary as some would desperately like you to believe Why is Dave Casey such an asshole and much more Question everything. Stay uncomfortable. Let's get weird.

Today's episode is my conversation with Scott Schluter on taking out IL Governor, JB Pritzker. As an Illinoisan, I am painfully aware of the fact that Pritzker needs to go. He ran heavily on legalizing cannabis and he actually made it happen... However, he failed to mention that, if a "pandemic" breaks out, he'll also go full-tyrant, illegally forceing small businesses to shut down and pretending like he has the authority to mandate what you wear. So like.... thanks for the expensive weed... I guess. Scott sees the corruption and in this episode he shares incite on his plan to run against Pritler, what Scott sees as the most crucial issues to our community, and the added level of arbitrary hurdles that come with running as a Libertarian. Question everything. Stay uncomfortable. Let’s get weird.

While at PorcFest, I had the absolute pleasure of hanging out with the great meme lord, Pete Quinones. Pete is well known for more than just his glorious twitter tom-trollery. He is a writer for the Libertarian Institute, the host of Free Man Beyond the Wall, and a documentarian with his latest release being The Monopoly on Violence and another currently in the works. In this mini-interview, we touched on the film making process, the PorcFest experience, the problem with libertarianism, and whether the twitter trolls have a reason to fear Pete in real life. All that and more, on today's episode of The System is Down episode 258: Pete Quinones on Documentary Making & the Failure of Libertarianism (@ PorcFest 2021) Question everything. Stay uncomfortable.

Continuing my on-location in-person at PorcFest series, today's episode is my conversation with the great Scott Horton, on how the US should (or shouldn't) be handling foreign affairs. Scott gave a great speech on the main stage about the War on Terror. Immediately following the speech, CCP survivor, Lily Tang Williams approached Scott discuss his stance on foreign policy. That quickly turned into a bit of a heated, yet very informative informal debate. I have a tremendous amount of respect for both of these people and when brilliant minds collide, the world benefits. Later in the day, I met up with Scott at the Mises Caucus tent for this interview and we recapped the debate, discussed the best US response to the present conflict in China vs what happened nazi Germany, and (of course) asked the question "Did John McAfee kill himself?".
