The Stateless Man

Freedom of Movement not “Immigration Reform” for the United States

The Stateless Man on WGSO 990AM in Louisiana

My latest interview on WGSO 990AM with Jeff Crouere brought forward many statistics that I believe merit documentation. So, in addition to the interview and engagement with callers below, please do not hesitate to draw upon the sources that follow.

The topic of discussion was the latest reform proposals in the United States, both from the president and federal senators. My key emphasis in the interview, which I explain in much greater detail in my latest Future of Freedom Foundation article, is that barriers to free movement are costly and mutually destructive.

Perkins Reveals the Corporatocracy

Review: Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

As Jimmy Carter once said, “This war has been motivated by pride or arrogance, by a desire to control oil wealth, by a desire to implant our programs.” Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, by John Perkins, illustrates this concept perfectly.

With his own life story, Perkins connects the dots between U.S. policy and cronyism abroad. This “corporatocracy” generates privileges that undermine free enterprise and equality under the law.

The Bratt-Powers Couple and My One Million Dollar Smoking Lawsuit

The Petty Bureaucrat Neighbors Whose Names Say It All

As of last week my one million dollar law suit for smoking in my own condo in Washington D.C. was settled.

This libertarian vs. petty Washington bureaucrat showdown started about a year ago. My neighbors, Mrs. Bratt (maiden name), an administrator at George Washington University, and Mr. Powers, who works at the Federal Election Commission, spent a year complaining to the condominium board, and hired a “secondhand smoke expert” to conduct tests and write a 150-page report. Then they finally sued me for one million dollars for smoking in my very own, fully owned, condo — in a building that is not a non-smoking building. Let me repeat: not only did I not break any laws, but I didn’t even break any condominium rules.
