The article discusses the historical and contemporary roles of three prominent Jewish libertarians—Milton Friedman, Ayn Rand, and Ludwig von Mises—in shaping libertarian thought and their connections to the ruling elite. Friedman and Rand are noted for their strong Jewish identities and Zionist beliefs, while Mises, although rooted in his Jewish heritage, emphasized individual freedom over ethnic concerns. The piece delves into the broader libertarian critique of the state, which is portrayed as an oppressive force driven by an exploitative ruling elite that privatizes gains while socializing losses. This elite is accused of manipulating public perception to support its policies, leading to perpetual conflict and the looming threat of nuclear warfare.
The author argues that exposing the ruling elite’s machinations is essential for reducing state power and preventing war. However, libertarian scholars often shy away from this analysis due to fears of being labeled as conspiratorial or politically incorrect. The article highlights Murray Rothbard as a notable exception, who actively critiqued the ruling elite’s influence and sought to understand its dynamics without succumbing to mainstream taboos. Rothbard’s contributions are framed as an essential framework for analyzing the intersection of economic interests and political power, emphasizing that elite actors engage in purposeful, self-interested behavior rather than acting randomly.
Rothbard identified three ethnic power blocs within the ruling elite: the WASP elite, the Jewish elite, and the Rockefeller dynasty. Each bloc is characterized by its distinct cultural and economic foundations, contributing to a complex interplay of competition and collaboration among these groups. The article elaborates on how these power blocs have historically influenced U.S. foreign policy and domestic governance, particularly during the World Wars, where their conflicting interests dictated the alignment of the U.S. in global conflicts. Rothbard’s analysis suggests that while these factions often cooperated for mutual benefit, their internal rivalries also shaped the course of American history.
The discussion shifts to the role of the Jewish elite in shaping state behavior, particularly in the context of the modern geopolitical landscape. The article posits that the Jewish elite has historically leveraged their position to navigate power dynamics while maintaining a distinct identity. The rise of neoconservative influence within the Republican Party is highlighted as a significant shift, with Rothbard noting the increasing prominence of Jewish interests in shaping U.S. foreign policy towards Israel and broader Middle Eastern engagements. The conclusion emphasizes the current geopolitical tensions and the need for libertarians to critically engage with the ruling elite’s influence, especially as conflicts in Gaza and elsewhere escalate, posing risks of genocide and nuclear war. The author calls for a more open discourse within libertarian circles regarding the Jewish elite’s role, arguing that self-censorship could lead to dire consequences for global peace and individual freedoms.
This is what needs to happen in the West, particularly between and among Russia, Europe and USA.
I hope and believe Trump is working on both of these deals to the best of his ability.
Signs of success in ME. Signs of transition in Europe-USA-Russia.
From a game theory KOBK point of view, violent Western divisiveness if pursued without stopping is suicide for the West.
Western leaders must know this.
Those who are furthering violent divisiveness are either: 1) taking profits while they still can; or 2) are not real Westerners but either traitors of foreigners. ABN
He does not want the war but he cannot resist the forces within NATO and USA that do want the war.
Some of those forces are economic, some KOBK game theory aimed at destroying Russia AND Europe, and some, perhaps the most influential, are Jewish Supremist forces.
We have seen JS play their hand in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union and in Ukraine during the long run-up to the Ukraine War.
Starmer is Jewish as is Boris Johnson, just two of many who appear to be wholehearted Jewish Supremists and who have fought against peace and in favor of continuing the War. Victorina Nuland in USA is similar.
I have seen analyses saying Trump is fighting against the ‘inertia of war’. Some truth in that but there are people applying force to that ‘inertia’, lots of force. They have an agenda and it is not to benefit Russia or Europe or USA. ABN
If so, it may also be true that Trump has taken full possession of the files and videos and is thus now able to blackmail the blackmailers (mostly Jewish Supremists) while also controlling every Epstein perp anywhere near government or societal power.
I am going to go with this interpretation as most likely, for now. If we observe a respectful silence coming from JS and many other assorted warmongers, parasites and crooks, we will have more signs that the Epstein files have been turned on their nasty little heads and have become a benefit to a properly governed USA.
Another point worth making, is the scenario described above also explains and exonerates Patel, Bondi, and Bongino’s apparently dishonest and cowardly behavior. ABN
Democratic voters are asking their representatives to exhibit more violence while resisting Donald Trump‘s agenda – with some even suggesting lawmakers prepare to ‘get shot.’
The party – reeling in the wake of Trump’s November victory – heads toward the 2026 midterms with polls showing their own voters are unhappy with their performance.
Now, liberal politicians fear Trump haters are urging them to bend the law and even resort to violence in a desperate attempt to resist the president.
‘Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough…there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,’ an anonymous Democrat lawmaker admitted.
‘Some of them have suggested…what we really need to do is be willing to get shot.’
‘The expectations aren’t just unreal. They’re dangerous,’ said one more.
Historically, in modern times it has always been the left that provokes the right, forces the right to enact strict controls and harsh laws.
All of the Asian ‘tigers’—Taiwan, Korea, Singapore—went through a right-wing phase. And all of them eventually became representative, so-called democratic countries, which rapidly became wealthy.
Each of those regions started with next to nothing but was led by a strong right-wing leader who brought them out of poverty.
Taiwan under ‘fascist’ Chiang Kai-shek had very good land-reform laws which traded land ownership for a stake in manufacturing. The rest is history.
Hitler was a response to German poverty following WW1 and fear of extreme-left Bolshevik infiltration in Germany.
Similar stories underlie the modern successes of many other nations. And you won’t find even one that became a free and wealthy nation through left-wing, socialist, or communist governance.
The left has always preached morality to beguile gullible populations and then used whatever power it was given or seized to enrich themselves and no one else.
This is happening in USA today. This is why I support strong measures to prevent the burgeoning lefty takeover of USA. ABN
I cannot find who the speaker is but this is the best short summary of gender dysphoria madness you will hear.
This issue reveals how important uncrossed or uncrossable lines can be in all societies.
The speaker focuses on gay marriage as the line that was crossed at the top of the slippery slope we are still sliding down today.
To be clear, no one especially likes having clear societal lines that cannot be crossed. Those lines are always philosophically and morally weak in many contexts, but removing them makes things even worse.
I personally believe we would be better off if gay marriage had never happened. It is a good example of a line that should not have been crossed.
I am aware of all the reasons in support of gay marriage. But it is also true that by erasing that line we came to allow many thousands of young people to be harmed by extremely deluded if not mentally ill adults.
Gender-affirming care is a truly Orwellian term; evil in its message and even more evil in its preemptive denial of there even being any other possible message. The term is a psycholinguistic torture chamber nightmare.
I hope readers of this site are aware that all psychology, value, philosophy and belief can always be analyzed at the linguistic level because all of it comes from words or ends up with words.
Take anything that bothers you and analyze it at the linguistic level of its psycholinguistic descriptors. Analyze the words. Change the words. Think about them with both psychological and linguistic feeling and you will see what I mean.
Deeply satisfying and beautiful mysteries can be discovered through that method. ABN
Weber’s law, also called Weber-Fechner law, historically important psychological law quantifying the perception of change in a given stimulus. The law states that the change in a stimulus that will be just noticeable is a constant ratio of the original stimulus. It has been shown not to hold for extremes of stimulation. (Weber’s Law)
Hang in with this, it’s interesting.
About 200 years ago, the German physician Ernst Heinrich Weber made a seemingly innocuous observation which led to the birth of the discipline of Psychophysics – the science relating physical stimuli in the world and the sensations they evoke in the mind of a subject. Weber asked subjects to say which of two slightly different weights was heavier. From these experiments , he discovered that the probability that a subject will make the right choice only depends on the ratio between the weights.
For instance, if a subject is correct 75% of the time when comparing a weight of 1 Kg and a weight of 1.1 Kg, then she will also be correct 75% of the time when comparing two weights of 2 and 2.2 Kg – or, in general, any pair of weights where one is 10% heavier than the other. This simple but precise rule opened the door to the quantification of behavior in terms of mathematical ‘laws’. (NEUROSCIENTISTS MAKE MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH IN 200-YEAR-OLD PUZZLE)
What’s new today is Time–Intensity Equivalence in Discrimination (TIED):
We investigated Weber’s law by training rats to discriminate the relative intensity of sounds at the two ears at various absolute levels. These experiments revealed the existence of a psychophysical regularity, which we term time–intensity equivalence in discrimination (TIED), describing how reaction times change as a function of absolute level. (The mechanistic foundation of Weber’s law)
Simply stated TIED says that the intensity of the stimulus determines the time it takes to “just notice” a change in it and that that scales linearaly as intensity changes up or down. For example, changes in louder sounds are noticed quicker than proportionally equal changes in quieter sounds and this can be scaled mathematically.
TIED is a new theory and needs more research, but whether it works out perfectly or not, I think it shows something very important about our individual and shared subjective perceptions of words, gestures, meanings, intentions, implications, and so on including all semiotics.
At present, we do not have machines that can measure our subjective perceptions, but we can surely feel them. And with training, we can also decently calibrate them.
Most of us can already vaguely talk about our subjective perceptions of each other, but few of us know how to do that with the precision of Weber’s Law or TIED. This is because we are all unique and we all react uniquely to each other. On top of that, few are able to employ language efficiently enough to capture significant detail when describing subjective responses or impressions.
FIML provides a very useful method for isolating and calibrating individual, idiosyncratic subjective perceptions.
Consistent, repeated use of FIML gradually recalibrates and reorganizes the entire psychologies of both partners.
FIML has virtually no content.. FIML is a method, and as such it allows partners to gradually identify, isolate, measure, and reorganize their entire body of psychological data, however they construe it.
It was reported last night that President Trump held a quiet meeting with Saudi Arabia Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman in the White House Thursday. This meeting is reported to cover discussions around de-escalation with Iran, the conflict in Gaza and what comes next.
The meeting also comes on the heels of President Trump having a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and work throughout the middle-east region by President Trump Emissary Steve Witkoff and Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer.
(Via Fox News) Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman secretly met with President Donald Trump and other key officials in the White House on Thursday to discuss de-escalation efforts with Iran, multiple sources confirmed with Fox News.
Khalid, also known as KBS, is the younger brother of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
[…] The talks were also reportedly about ending the war in Gaza and negotiating the release of the remaining hostages – whether dead or alive – and about working toward peace in the Middle East. (more)
Previously it was reported by Israeli media that President Trump was working on a comprehensive solution to Gaza that would encompass peace in the middle-east by normalizing ties with Israel, isolating Iran and giving them fewer options for regional instability. Expanding the Abraham Accords provides the diplomatic vehicle for this approach.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will visit the White House on Monday, July 7th.
It is strongly rumored that Syria and Lebanon would soon join the Abraham Accords, with the possibility of Saudi Arabia joining thereafter. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) is a key figure hoping to bring a new era to the middle east absent of conflict and focused on prosperity.
These negotiations are likely to bear huge fruits. There are significant general parallels between Trump’s work in the Middle East and with Russia. The talks in both regions are larger than just the wars in either region; in both regions Trump has aimed at peaceful accords at the highest levels. In a sense, he has gone above the fray and focused on long-term solutions. By going over the heads of Europe and Israel, Trump has wrestled the crux of these regional dynamics from them. And just as importantly, he appears to have largely seized control of American warmongers overtly and covertly involved in both regions. Neocon RINOs are quiet as are American Jewish Supremists, or at least Trump and most others are not listening to them. ABN
The reason we use the term semiotics on this site is when FIML partners do a FIML query, the data in their minds at the moment(s) in question is best described as raw semiotics.
That is, it is the raw material that makes up the composite of consciousness at the moment(s) in question.
This material, or data, can be sharply focused, vague, irrelevant to the subject at hand, emotional, associative, organized, disorganized, and so on.
When partners get good at observing this data accurately and describing it to each other, they will find that much of it, if not all of it, is connected to a psycho-semiotic network that underlies awareness, or intermingles with it, and gives rise to its states.
Understanding this network is extremely valuable and will provide partners with great insights into how and why they feel, think, and behave as they do.
It is very difficult (and I think impossible) to understand this network through solitary pursuits only.
The reason for this is a solitary mind will fool itself.
In contrast, two minds working together will be able to observe this network with much greater accuracy.
Language, semiotics, and emotion are fundamentally interpersonal operations, so it is reasonable to expect that deep comprehension of these operations will be best achieved through interpersonal activity. ABN
The American people are not being told why Israel agreed to a ceasefire with Iran. Yes, Israel was rapidly running out of air-defense interceptors (making it more vulnerable to Iranian attacks.) But that issue is only of secondary importance. The real reason they wanted a ceasefire was because they were getting systematically pulverized and needed to stop the bleeding fast. That’s why Israel ‘threw in the towel’ less than 2 weeks after the opening salvo, because Iran was decimating one target after another with no end in sight. So, Israel capitulated.
Of course, that is not the story we’ve been reading in the western media where there’s no mention of the vast destruction of Israeli strategic targets (by Iranian ballistic missiles); that news has been completely omitted from the mainstream coverage. But that’s why Israel persuaded Trump to find a diplomatic off-ramp; because the losses were beginning to mount and Iran was not ‘letting up.’
Let’s summarize: In a little more than a week’s time, Iran struck or obliterated:
The “Israeli Pentagon”, the Kirya military-intelligence complex
The Weizmann Institute of Science which plays a role in Israel’s clandestine nuclear program
The Aman military intelligence headquarters at the Glilot Mizrah Interchange, near Herzliya. Aman oversees elite spying units such as Unit 8200 (signals intelligence), Unit 504 (human intelligence), and Unit 9900 (geospatial intelligence).
Branches of the Israeli ministry of interior affairs responsible for internal military coordination
The Mossad’s operational headquarters
Israel’s most protected Nevatim Airbase (and the Tel Nof Airbase)
Ben Gurion Airport (repeatedly) as well as Ramat David, Palmachim and Ovda near Eilat.
The Command-and-Control Centers of the Israeli military and Mossad in both Tel Aviv and Haifa…..
The Bazan Oil Refinery in Haifa—Israel’s largest fuel processing center
A giant power station in Ashdod, triggering a powerful explosion and localized blackouts.
The Rafael Advanced Defense Systems complex north of Haifa—home to multiple factories and R&D buildings that produce key elements of Israel’s military hardware
The Kiryat Gat Industrial Zone—a major center for microprocessor and high-tech military production
The Gav-Yam Negev Advanced Technologies Park near Beersheba, which hosts firms working in cyberwarfare, AI, and military tech.

Get the picture? In just 10 days (June 13 to June 23) the Iranian military meticulously destroyed a sizable portion of Israel’s most prestigious military, intelligence, industrial, energy, and R&D facilities across the country. (Have you read about any of this in the western media?) Had the war continued for another week or two, the Holy Land would have been reduced to a smoldering third world wasteland unfit for human habitation. In short, this was no normal ceasefire. This was a desperate capitulation by an overmatched contender who quickly realized he was punching ‘above his weight’.
Generally, with big issues, more voices are better than fewer.
Historically, states’ rights are of preeminent importance in American law and governance.
A ten-year ‘moratorium’ would allow actors at the top to seize some sort of technical or intellectual monopoly that would be very difficult to change once established.
The people who would be in position to do that are a transient group of individuals, unelected, unvetted, mostly unknown to the public.
How could allowing them alone to determine our AI future be better than allowing more voices, more jurisdictions, more transparency, more discussion and more thought?
Based on that line of reasoning, it would be better for our civilization to not do the moratorium. ABN
Under the banner of “build back better” after Iranian attacks, Israel is advancing a plan that could force citizens to sell their homes to the state if they reject urban renewal plans.
Missile damage is being used as cover for a land grab.
This video provides a glimpse of Iran’s weaponry and how it has been used against Israel. During the current ceasefire, it is a sure thing that both Israel and Iran will rearm. Whether they continue fighting or not, this video shows that Iran does have serious military capabilities. Is it in their interests to keep fighting? I doubt it. My understanding is Iran is going to allow a GCC-led coalition to become the region’s collective hegemon. The world is on the verge of becoming 100X wealthier due to tech improvements. All players in this and other conflicts must reassess their reasons to keep fighting old battles. Sometimes the smartest military option is do nothing. ABN
