counterbalance Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 In another time and place, what would we have to do? What impossible string of circumstances and decisions could lead us to a collection of knowledge and discussion like this? I am amazed by my good fortune and am so grateful for this internet and access to the accumulating and heroic work that Mr. Molyneux is offering the world and the future! I am new, but catching-up. I have read UPB, OT and I am digging in to RTR as we speak. I may have 40 or 50 hours of A/V time invested and I am already finding favorites that I have been re-viewing. I sometimes have to stop and "collect" insights from the podcasts and videos because I find the ideas so profoundly meaningful. It is a tremendous leap in consciousness and a lot to process. I come to Mr. Molyneux via "Storm Clouds Gathering" which was my first introduction to the Non-Aggression Principle and Anarcho Capitalism. I looked it up on Wikipedia and followed a few source links to find Stefan. I think the first impactful vid may have been the remembrance day video. Wow. I openly wept. I have been aggressively reading, researching, studying and waking myself up for the last 3 years. It's hard to really to follow the route here but I believe it began with Peter Schiff. Through him I found Bastiat, Hayek and Mises and then Tom Woods and Jeff Casey. Then Lew Rockwell and Alex Jones. It was really Alex that got me researching and skeptical of my government and my culture. For all his faults (bless his heart) he sure knows how to wake someone up! From there I found Solzhenitsyn, "None Dare Call it Conspiracy", William Engdahl and Matthew White's "Great Big Book". On to Dr. Paul Craig Roberts and Max Keiser, Luke Rudowsky, Adam Kokesh and Zero Hedge, etc. Lots more books. "The Story of Your Enslavement" was what really hooked me in here to Freedomain Radio. I was left gobsmacked and solemn. I sat quietly looking out my window for a long spell and simply said out-loud, "I am not a slave". I am on a myth-dispelling mission - this last year especially - and I am absolutely ready for this phase; It feels like rounding third. All of my family relationships have been disrupted by my intellectual and emotional growth spurt. My phone calls and texts to my brother have become increasingly strained and I have not spoken with my parents for over a year. There is obviously much more to say about this but perhaps on another thread. Please let me express again my excitement and gratitude for this opportunity to share and commune with like minded people here on FDR. I have been fighting my way to you for a long time.
Stefan Molyneux Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Very nice to meet you, welcome, and congrats on not being a slave!
