The rant is an expose about the self-immolating, so-called Patriot movement, including tax "protesters", Section 861, state citizenship, allodial title, straw man theory, and other ways to throw yourself in front of a steamroller.

No guest today.  Instead, we have the first two parts about Participatory Democracy, exploring the details of how you, personally can run for public office.  Part 1 is all about how to get your name on the ballot.  Part Two is about attracting and keeping volunteers.

Listener question is if you personally are better off than you were three and a half years ago or worse off?  And why.

The rant is a goodie: It’s all about the worldwide response to the corona virus.

This episode is broadcast live from the Pennsylvania Libertarian Party convention held in Philadelphia, including interviews with a wide range of personalities, including presidential candidate Jacob Hornberger, other candidates, and party functionaries.

What sticks in Ken’s craw is political conventions of the two old parties.

Ken’s guest is Brett Croneberger, radio producer for The Pennsylvania Project on WWDB, discussing his view from the studio control room of numerous issues ranging from gun control to Toastmasters to launching a broadcasting career.

What sticks in Ken’s craw is the so-called “patriot movement” and several of their unworkable approaches to avoiding paying federal taxes, unprovable conspiracy theories, and other ways to run yourself over with a steamroller.
