Jason Ditz, news editor for Antiwar.com, discusses why a few thousand more US troops in Afghanistan won’t stop the steady loss of ground to the Taliban; President Trump’s deployment of troops all over the Middle East/North Africa to fight ISIS; and the official understatement of civilian casualties from US air strikes in Iraq and Syria.

This is episode 165 of You, Me, and BTC – your liberty and Bitcoin podcast! Daniel is out of town this week but Tim and John still have an outstanding show planned! First up, they’ll dive into John’s theory about dystopian cryptogarchy. We covered the idea of blockchain-based governance last week, but John still has plenty of ideas about the kind of world it would create if it really existed. Then after that, the guys will chat about WikiLeaks’ massive Vault 7 data dump. Apparently, the CIA has been able and willing to spy on US citizens for years. And they’ve done it through smart TVs, smartphones, and other tech. This might sound terrible at first, but are we really surprised? Where do we go from here?

Trump addressed Congress for the first time and his speech had a very nationalistic and police state sort of vibe to it. The republicans that were against a big government when Obama was in office, now seem to be falling behind their leader supporting a $1 Trillion infrastructure program! President Trump also suggested five things that he wants to see done with healthcare and it really sounds like Obamacare lite! The only way to reduce the severity of our future economic crisis is to shrink the size of government and there’s no willingness to do this from either side of isle!

Tim is joined by regular guest Gus Willman to chat about the “Day Without Women” and what in the hell women are complaining about now. The duo also discuss the recent CIA document leak from Wikileaks, Ben Carson, and slavery.

We are talking libertarian charity part 3 with Gret Glyer of DonorSee! DonorSeeScott is on staycation this week and got his ass kicked by Adam at some disc golf. We talk to our very special guest, Gret Glyer, of DonorSee. Gret Glyer has a business degree from a school in Pennsylvania in 2012 and started working at Enterprise Rent-A-Car as his first job. He had the opportunity to go to Africa to teach math to kids so he took it. While there he crowdfunded a $100,000 school for girls. This is where his desire to start DonorSee came from. The cool thing about DonorSee is that you get to see where your money is going. Scott donated to a lady needing a wheelchair and received a video of her being placed in that wheelchair for the first time after it was purchased. That is powerful. DonorSee can be found at donorsee.com or by downloading their phone app called DonorSee. Aid workers from Peace Corps have been banned from using DonorSee completely and won’t return Gret’s email, regardless of how effective DonorSee has been. DonorSee was the very first organization on the ground in Haiti after the hurricane. They beat USAID and Red Cross because of their lightweight, efficient, and technological model. You really have to check this charity out. We would consider it a personal favor if you began donating to the things this organization does.

I warned all of you about Snapchat last week, and it didn’t take long for me to be proven right. Today Snapchat traded below its opening price of $24 and appears headed back to its IPO price of $17. From there who knows but what I do know is market hysteria has hit a new high. It’s not just companies like Snapchat that have no value yet receive widespread praise. There are also deeper concerns in the stock market. Retail money is flooding back into the stocks, this time in the form of ETF’s. The question is, how long can these prices be maintained once all the uneducated investors are fully invested. Watch out. When worthless companies received ridiculous valuations and stupid money starts flowing into stocks alarm bells should be going off in your head. Don’t fall victim to the hype. It can cost you everything.

Welcome back to the Liberty Entrepreneurs Podcast! This week I’ll share my must-have tools for managing and working with a virtual team. Unlike in an office environment, where you can walk up to someone, a virtual team requires a different kind of flow and toolset to stay on the same page and working towards the same goal. I personally use all of the tools listed below and have provided some commentary for reach to describe how and why I use it. If you find this episode valuable, please share it with your friends? Building Freedom is difficult, and these episodes should offer the perspective to light someone’s inner Entrepreneur!

The CIA has been caught with its pants down, big time, with a release by WikiLeaks of the CIA's Vault 7, more than 8,000 confidential documents with apparently many more to come. What do you need to know about this release? I'll tell you. Thank you for joining me on the thirty-third episode of The LAVA Spurt, CIA's Vault 7. And, make sure to hang out to the end of this episode for your chance to win a prize pack! CIA's Vault 7 A total of 8,761 documents have been published as part of ‘Year Zero’, the first in a series of leaks the whistleblower organization WikiLeaks has dubbed ‘Vault 7.’ WikiLeaks said that ‘Year Zero’ revealed details of the CIA’s “global covert hacking program,” including “weaponized exploits” used against company products including “Apple's iPhone, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows and even Samsung TVs, which are turned into covert microphones.” These documents cover a period of years between 2013 and 2016. WikiLeaks claims that this is the largest intelligence publication in history. WikiLeaks tweeted the leak, which it claims came from a network inside the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virginia. Among the more notable disclosures which, if confirmed, “would rock the technology world“, the CIA has managed to bypass the encryption on popular phone and messaging services such as Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram. According to the statement from WikiLeaks, government hackers can penetrate Android phones and collect “audio and message traffic before encryption is ever applied.”

University tuition rates across the United States have ballooned in recent decades, but that has been to pay for more administrative staff, not more tenured faculty. As campuses offer bells and whistles, parents and prospective students are growing skeptical of conventional higher education, and Jenna Robinson tells us why. She holds a doctorate in political science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and she is the president of the Martin Center for Academic Renewal. Specifically, she addresses the thorny question of a bubble in higher education, and whether the deflation has already begun.
