Dr. Malone speaking at Mises (transcription from a small part of the video):

I talk all the time…but this is different. This is talking to an audience, a younger audience becoming experts in a domain that I am a neophyte, and just starting to learn about the underpinnings of the logic of Rothbard, Mises, and economics in general…

And, now I find in my journey to comprehend what transpired during the COVID crisis, that economics is the center of it all. Now I find that economics is what’s driving politics. Now I find it’s the market. It’s Mr. Market that is defining the New World Order. It’s defining what political reality is. It’s defining the acceptable range of politics. Politics is being defined economically. And, clearly I need to come up to speed. So, this lecture gave me an opportunity to try to start to think through the kind of simplistic understanding that I had about libertarianism coming from my experience when I was about your age…

I try to think hard about libertarianism, Rothbard’s wisdom, and what I’m observing in the real world marketplace that I live in. One that is much influenced by psychological warfare, and I am deeply troubled by what I’m encountering, and I hope to learn and explore…the kind of limits of pure libertarian thought as they interface with this new world of fifth generation warfare and psychological warfare. I find that domain extremely troubling because underpinning logic in Rothbard’s analysis, and libertarianism in general, has to do with the

free will sovereignty and economy of the individual. And, with this technology (pointing to his upcoming book: Psy War) those concepts become absolute to a significant extent.”

[Do you understand what Dr. Malone is saying in this last paragraph, above? Mises, in his entire life, fought against humans being treated as controlled robots where those in control want to build and control us like an engineer builds a bridge. In other words, Mises fought against being treated as if we are unthinking parts of a bridge and must be built, manipulated and controlled.

Here, Dr. Malone is saying that this technology that allows psychological war, is destroying FREE WILL, SOVEREIGNTY AND ECONOMY OF THE INDIVIDUAL. DON’T GET ME STARTED ON MODERN PASTORS. MOST DO NOT HAVE A SINGLE CLUE OF WHAT IS GOING ON; AND TRUTH ORIGINATES FROM KNOWING WHAT IS GOING ON SO ONE CAN BE CONFRONTED AND GIVEN A CHOICE (AFTER THAT CONFRONTATION) TO CHANGE, ETC. GOD WANTS US TO CHOOSE (HIM FOR EXAMPLE). THEY ARE USING BRAINWASHING, PSYCHOLGICAL WARFARE, INFLATION (THAT FUNDS THE EVIL!!!!!!), ETC. TO DESTROY OUR KNOWING WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND US, SO THAT THEY CONTROL OUR MINDS AND THUS NOT BEING CONFRONTED; AND WE CANNOT THEN KNOW TRUTH. THEY WANT TO DESTROY THE FREE-WILL GIVEN TO US BY GOD.

You should be thankful that you are engaged in learning from Austrian economics! - JRD
