The Liberty Conspiracy Audio Pod, for 5-26-26!
Welcome, fellow Conspirators!
We entered the Liberty Classroom tonight to discuss the meaning of "self-defense" and how it is incompatible with statism, which forces people to pay for what the state's lever-pullers define as "defense". This recently has been manifested in particularly perverse ways, as Trumpers and Israelis describe as "defense" their overt acts of aggression in areas far beyond their "borders". Big thanks to the audience, and to the great journalists whose work we got to cover! Join us, live, m-f 6 PM on Rumble, or on X, and watch for the audio pod shortly after each show, free at Spotify and here at Substack! Here are some of the big issues we covered tonight, all! Spread the word, and we’ll see you tomorrow! Be Seeing You!

WARHere’s a question to frame much of the current news and draw in a deeper philosophical and logic-based matter. The question is, “What is “SELF-DEFENSE?” Does self-defense entail you or I forcing our neighbor to pay for our defense? If one believes that, how is that not, thus, engaging in aggressive activity, thus making an aggressor, an enemy of each person doing that? Self-defense is, precisely understood, SELF-DRIVEN AND INDIVIDUALISTIC. It can be nothing more, and only becomes aggregated into larger groups when the INDIVIDUALS forming those groups all agree, based on the exercise of their own free will. Now, let’s see how both the US and Israel (already statist entities that claim they are defending their “people” while engaging in the very crime we mentioned above) claim “self-defense” for their aggressor militaries that are engaging in criminal acts in other nations…
FIRST! The U.S. last night launched what the Trump Admin termed “self-defense strikes” against the nation it has been attacking, blockading, and more - against Iran. This time, Trump’s goons attacked what they claim to have been mine-laying boats. Headline “US military says it conducted ‘self-defense strikes’ against targets in Iran” LINK
-The Trump gang continues to strike first and claim “self-defense.” Astoundingly, CENTCOM told reporters that this does “not indicate ceasefire is over.” Non-US-tied news sources report that U.S. drones were shot down by Iran in the region.
John Mearsheimer explained it at the Munk debate in Toronto. The US has lost what it started
But don’t you talk about the war crimes of the US or Israel. These guys will accuse you of being unpatriotic or antisemitic

Meanwhile, Israel has launched Operation Arrows of Fire into Lebanon, an escalation with the defense group, Hezbollah.
Reports cite Israeli calls for evacuations in Beirut, while schools in northern Israel have been closed “until further notice.”
Five more, murdered by Israel, in the past few hours.
AND, Israel is bombing a key Lebanese reservoir - a 100% war crime.
Iran has demanded that Israel withdraw from Lebanon as a part of any peace deal but Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu flatly said over the weekend that they will not.
“We’re not taking our foot off the gas; on the contrary, I’ve said to step on the gas even harder,” he said in a video message. As we know, Israel does not want a peace with Iran, and the Israeli govt wants that land called Lebanon.
Netanyahu is ramping up while President Trump offers deflection.
-Here is how the BBC colors the Israeli aggression
And this is happening there, tonight, right now
Trump said on Monday that negotiations with Iran were “proceeding nicely” but then said that Iran would have to hand all nuclear material over to the U.S. as a condition of the deal - which, of course, is something the Iranians want to avoid so that they can continue maintaining and expanding their nuclear electric power capacity, and, of course, the Iranian government has said that all nuke talks are off the table until at least 60 days after all other points are negotiated and agreed. Meanwhile, the Trumpers who launched those attacks last night claim they acted in “self-defense” - Nothing like gaslighting to enliven the day, huh?
Here is a key exchange, between Judge Andrew Napolitano and Larry Johnson, as Larry reiterates the fact that the JCPOA agreement to return billions to Iran was about IRANIAN MONEY that the US stole and froze in foreign banks, and Larry and the Judge study the repulsive statements of Ben-Gvir about expanding into Lebanon.
