Book Review: Drug Crazy by Mike Gray

May 6, 2012 by Monica

Drug Crazy, by Mike Gray, is a page turner on the origins and impact of the Drug War in America. I have long been against the Drug War as a matter of principle: there is no justification for the group to force an individual to do or not to do a particular thing if the … Read more

Ron Paul Responds To Elizabeth Warren! Plus Bonus: Is Ron Paul a Voluntarist?

April 18, 2012 by Monica

On the show Saturday night I played a clip from Elizabeth Warren describing her vision of America, which is based on a socialist conception of government. Little did I know, Ron Paul responded to this very same clip on ABC News awhile back. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7otK5NsuA4k] As an added bonus, here’s a video Eric Bigelow sent me … Read more

Documentary Review: An Inconvenient Tax

April 17, 2012 by Monica

I have concluded that limited government is impossible. Once you give a government a monopoly over the use of force and the dispensation of justice as well as the ability to tax, it will always and everywhere grow beyond the limits originally set for it. The American Experiment is proof positive of this. The United … Read more

Ever Wonder What It Means To Take The Red Pill or Be A Conspiranoid? Check Out My New Glossary

April 4, 2012 by Monica

There are a few expressions and references I like to use on the air that are not (yet!) in common usage. For your convenience, I define them here. For additional color on the expression, click on the term itself and you will be directed to an outside source. If you heard me say something on … Read more

Social Engineering, Brainwashing and Dumbing Us Down: On & About This Week's Show

March 25, 2012 by Monica

This week I talked about the real purpose and effect of schooling our children. I talked about the idea that crony capitalists and the government made a conscious choice over a hundred years ago to try to tame the American citizenry to be good corporate citizens. There is much evidence to support this and I had at least three informed callers who offered their knowledge confirming this. The best source for both understanding the origins and purpose of the current system as well as insight into what real education is

The Ultimate History Lesson with John Taylor Gatto

March 22, 2012 by Monica

If you’ve never heard of John Taylor Gatto you are really missing something. John Taylor Gatto was New York City Teacher of the Year three times when he worked in Harlem. He quit his job, while still holding the title of Teacher of the Year, in an oped article in the Wall Street Journal saying that he no longer wished to hurt children. Gatto is one of those very rare people (like Ron Paul) who have the intelligence, character, drive and interest to pursue the truth for its own sake, to actually succeed in uncovering some of it and to share it with those of us ready to recognize it.

Ron Paul on Leno

March 22, 2012 by Monica

Now that there don’t seem to be anymore debates, I don’t get my regular dose of Ron Paul. As my mother says, “I know what he’s going to say, I just like to hear him say it!” So here’s a little RP getting wild applause and being cute as ever on Leno.

Being Irish Helped Me Understand the Regressive Nature of Crack

March 16, 2012 by Monica

Despite my appearance (and my name!), I’m half Irish. I’m even a citizen of Ireland (and the U.S. of course) with two of my grandparents–Irish as Paddy’s Pigs–emigrating from County Mayo through Ellis Island to Brooklyn nearly a hundred years ago.
Being raised by a first generation Brooklynite of purely Irish stock, I absorbed a great deal of Irish culture, lore and attitudes. Perhaps that’s why I’m an anarcho-capitalist: Ireland, I have read, had a thousand years of non-centralized, non-coercive government which was peaceful and orderly and had the happy effect of making its untamed population difficult for the English to conquer. I only discovered this fun fact in my adult life, however. What I gleaned of Ireland in my childhood included, among other things, that the Irish, at least our line, were poor. I also got the impression that the English were not.

Does the Government Target People Because of Their Political Views and Actions? I Sure Hope Not!

February 22, 2012 by Monica

I have been noticing increasing incidents of government overreach, government abuse of power and even witch-hunts through which the government goes after people for political reasons. In this podcast I touch on a few recent examples. Please comment or email me with more as you notice them. I’d like to make this a regular part … Read more

Monica Perez Guest Appearance on Butler on Business

February 21, 2012 by Monica

It was my GREAT pleasure last week to be an in-studio guest of Alan Butler and Jason Riddle on Bloomberg Radio’s Butler on Business. They have posted the audio on their website if you care to listen: Monica Perez explains what it means to go the “Full Rothbard”
