When neoconservative Ben Stein accused Congressman Ron Paul of being antisemitic for merely wanting to ask WHY Islamic terrorists want to attack the civilians living under western governments that have meddled in the Mideast, the members of the Conspiracy could not sit by silently.
Gardner Goldsmith reveals many of the myths and lies behind Barack Obama's push for medical fascism. Then, he reveals the shocking attitude of Tom Brokaw, who believes government health plans are good, and that those very same medical plans should restrict expenditures on "the elderly."
Gardner Goldsmith offers a long-lasting lesson on the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the so-called "incorporation doctrine." He takes the leap point of the recent lawsuit challenging the city of Chicago's ban on firearms, and extends his analysis to the Bill of Rights and even to scholars who miss some major points when it comes to understanding the wording and dynamic working of the Constitution.
Gard, Malcolm and Adam discuss the news that Massachusetts cops are arresting people who film them doing misdeeds. Nothing like "serving and protecting" huh? Then, the Conspiracy team looks at the news that music mega corporations are trying to shut down audio streaming sites.
Is the Timelord a socialist, or is he, as one would expect, a libertarian who believes in the primacy of the individual?
Citizen X explores the history of the U.S. Constitution from a skeptic's perspective. We find that, far from being a limiter on government, the Constitution has been the facilitator of big government. Was this an accident or was it by design?
The Liberty Conspiracy looks at one of the most pressing (and eternally vexing) issues government presents: the destruction of your buying power through central banking and fiat currency inflation.
On Thursday, a man flew his plane into a building housing an office of the IRS, which had been taking his money for years without his consent. Gardner Goldsmith investigates the contemporary views of such violence. Is it self defense? It is justified to stop the theft? What does one consider "just" government and "consent"?
Get ready for the final vote for the Freedom Book Club's Book of the Year! You still have time to vote. Voting ends on Feb 15th! Here's Gard and Furb discussing the book club and the books!
Ever wonder about the strange image of people applauding utterly meaningless statements made by politicians? About the nationalistic rhetoric employed by the politicians as they try to appeal to the multitudes? About the seeming derangement of people who appear to NEED approval from their "leaders" before they can feel good about themselves?

What will Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown, who recently beat the Atty. Gen of MA, Martha Coakley, to take the Senate seat vacated by the deceased Ted Kennedy, do regarding health insurance mandates and economic liberty?
Haiti. A tragic situation as thousands die during and after a massive earthquake. Politicians promise millions in other peoples' money to help the victims. Gardner Goldsmith explains why Haiti is in such bad shape compared to other places that have had such natural disasters.
A few months ago, El G Grande spotted the attempt by the members of the pop media to depict TARP as a success, bringing a PROFIT to the federal gubment. This was not the case, and only NOW are we seeing reports that the TARP theft is not paying off.
How does one look at a potential TSA Head who fears Americans more than the terrorists Americans often fear? One views him as more interested in protecting the US government than the US citizenry.
Furb discusses the recent execution by the Chinese government of a man found guilty of -- not bringing direct harm to other people. Yes, he was selling drugs. Then, listen to Gard introduce two older news stories that highlight the dangers of the government-pushed drugs of choice, the amphetamines administered to kids to "control" their "hyper-activity."
Here, we talk to Sam Blumenfeld, the legendary critic of state controlled education, and the man who predicted that the look-say method of teaching reading would produce millions of illiterate American children.

Imagine being a child who takes peppermint into school -- and is suspended for it and told he or she engaged in "wrongdoing". Imagine being a parent who has his or her money forced from him in order to perpetuate this school system, and can get little if any satisfaction in changing the bad system.
But what about those nasty immigrants? Did you know that an eeeeevil woman has organized a group of Arizonans to alert each other to immoral and actions made by cops who want to arrest "illegal immigrants"? She must be evil. Right? We'll look at the moral and economic arguments, as well as the Constitutional arguments (for those who want them).
Join us as we roll in 2010 with Gard and Ziggy, as they discuss the end of on era and the beginning of a new one for Dr. Who, the original Prisoner, the crap of U2, new work by New Model Army, and how one man's ability to communicate with the outside world has been constrained by government bureaucracy!
The Conspiracy offers a full-on offensive against the assumption that government is needed to "give permission to marry." The disastrous consequences of this mentality can be seen every year, and a new story shows us just how pernicious the idea is.
If you're not angry about government yet, then perhaps the newest account of its failure to keep people safe in the air routes will help.
Please join us for our great tradition: Al Gore singing classic Christmas Songs, with a global message!
The Senate passed its version of the health care reform bill Thursday. We hope you will listen, and give serious consideration to passing on the audio and to taking action to resist these tyrants in government.
The great horror author Wayne Simmons chats with Gardner Goldsmith from his home in Northern Ireland, and has a great deal of incredibly insightful things to say about the nature of the term "anarchy," about writing, about economics, and about music!

Join us as we check in with fellow Conspirators in the US, Australia and the UK, and look at issues such as Global Warming myths, the Queen, Donnie Darko, and Albert Jay Nock!
In this the third part of our productions on "intellectual property," Gardner Goldsmith discusses why it's so hard to come to agreements among liberty lovers when it comes to concepts such as ownership of ideas once you have released them to others. Gard responds to a message from a fellow Conspirator who has some differences of opinions.
In this second part of our investigation of how government law concerning intellectual property harms living standards and infringes on liberty, Gardner Goldsmith is joined by Furb, founder of The Freedom Book Club.
What happens to intellectual property in a stateless society? He studies how governments have looked at intellectual property through the years, and shows the listener how the US government has been used to manipulate copyright for years.
We study the undeniable truism that the EPA is not even supposed to exist, let alone do what it announced it plans to do: regulate CO2 emissions. We also look at the strange claims made by the federal government that the TARP bailouts are making money, despite the fact that they are over 100 billion in the red. Huh?
FURB takes the helm as he compiles recent calls to the Liberty Conspiracy Hotline.
An important and insightful look at an important and insightful (?) news story that means a great deal to all the cavemen in Washington, DC!

In this the fourth of our Fundamentals Reissues, the Liberty Conspiracy concludes the discussion about supposed "rights" as defined and "defended" by government, which can only exist by intruding on one's rights.

Your tax dollars at work!Happy Thanksgiving!
In this special reissue of Gardner Goldsmith's extensive essay on the dangers of government, he explains why even Thomas Jefferson overlooked some of the inherent contradictions inherent in the "small government" concept of Locke. Please enjoy this, part two of Gard's discussion of fundamental principles. It will serve as a bulwark against statists of all kinds.
Join Gardner Goldsmith in this special reissue of one of the productions that explores the bedrock ideas of freedom. In this case, he delves into the way in which the term "rights" has been corrupted by the very government supposedly created to protect those rights. Listen, and see why Goldsmith makes a compelling argument that one can never trust government to protect so-called "rights", because in order for government to exist, it must infringe on rights at the outset.
Welcome back to the Liberty Conspiracy, the group of shadowy plotters working to lift society up from the burdens placed upon it by government. As founder Gard Goldsmith explains, events in the US and other nations show us that this is an important time to spread the fundamental ideas of liberty, and this production is the second in a series of rebroadcasts that help explain the moral and economic primacy of freedom.
Feel free to listen to this rebroadcast of a special Liberty Conspiracy production: the importance of money as a medium of exchange.
