The Mother Who Fought the Feds and Won | Lyn Ulbricht

In 2015, Ross Ulbricht received double life plus 40 years without parole — for a first-time, non-violent offense. The judge at sentencing called his “libertarian philosophy” dangerous. For 11 years, his mother Lyn fought the most powerful prosecutors in the country: the Southern District of New York. In 2025, Ross received a full presidential pardon. This is her story. — In this episode: — PorcFest, Freedom Fest, and early advocacy — “Two things libertarians agree on” — Trump’s pledge at the LP Convention — The judge called libertarianism “dangerous” — Silk Road and the non-aggression principle — Ross’s prison experiment: 100% chose torture — 3,000 people serving life for cannabis — The human cost of cruel sentences — 90% of violent criminals are fatherless — The government’s unlimited legal budget — The “trial tax” — “Free in my mind” Cruel sentencing policies have made the U.S. the biggest incarcerator in the world.

When the Primary Source Disappears, So Does the Truth | Ford Fischer

Ford Fischer has spent 15 years standing where the mainstream media won’t. As the founder of News2Share, his raw, unedited footage has become the “black box” of American civil unrest—used in high-stakes courtrooms, licensed by major networks, and ironically, suppressed by the very platforms designed to share it. In this episode, Steven Nekhaila sits down with the Emmy-nominated documentarian to discuss the dangerous reality of being a witness in an age of narrative-driven news. Ford reveals the footage the public wasn’t supposed to see and the cost of refusing to “spin” the truth. Inside the Episode: The Charlottesville Secret: The specific police order to “let them fight” and how it changed everything. January 6 by the Numbers: A data-driven look at the 100,000 attendees vs. the 2,000 charged—and why the “98%” narrative is ignored. Federal "Action Movies": How the government created propaganda music videos using footage of federal agents tear-gassing citizens. Mislabeled as Terror: The moment Ford found his journalism flagged as "domestic terrorism" due to a clerical error in a different state. The AI Censorship Crisis: How automated moderation is effectively erasing historical records and silencing independent journalists. The 100 Firearms Scenario: A chilling look at what could have happened if the day had taken a different turn. Ford Fischer is one of the few remaining primary-source documentarians committed to showing you what happened—no commentary, no narrative, just the lens. 🔗 LINKS: News2Share: https://news2share.com [https://news2share.com] Ford Fischer on X: https://x.com/FordFischer [https://x.com/FordFischer] News2Share on X: @N2Sreports — 💬 PRESENTED BY Freedom Dollar (FUSD) — private money for the public world.

Liberland: The freest nation on Earth? / Try Liberty Ep. 1

What happens when you plant a flag on unclaimed land and declare a new country built on libertarian principles? In our very first episode, Steven Nekhaila sits down with Vít Jedlička — founder and president of the Free Republic of Liberland — to find out. Founded in 2015 on a 2.7 sq mi parcel of disputed land between Serbia and Croatia, Liberland has grown from a radical experiment into something nobody expected: a functioning micro-state with over 800,000 citizenship applications from nearly every country on Earth. And the people applying? Not just dreamers. Javier Milei — now President of Argentina — is a citizen. So are tech entrepreneurs, economists, and freedom advocates from around the world. In this conversation, we cover: → How Liberland was founded and why Croatia tried to stop it → The governance model: a DAO-based meritocracy with no traditional bureaucracy → Why Vít read Frédéric Bastiat's "The Law" at 13 and never looked back → 800,000 citizenship applications — who's applying and why → High-profile citizens including Javier Milei → Liberland's presence at Davos (one of only 11 countries with a house there) → The philosophy: decentralization, private ownership, and automation → Future plans for international recognition and constitutional development → Partnerships with libertarian parties worldwide → Invitation to the Libertarian Party Convention in Michigan Whether you think Liberland is a proof of concept or a pipe dream, this conversation will make you think differently about what's possible when people stop asking for permission. — TIMESTAMPS: [00:56] Introduction [02:04] What is Liberland?
