I remember the day that they updated it in 2004 and it went from yellow to kind of red, white and blue like that.

And I was like, wow, dude, post nuke, you know, it's PHP, dude.

It's the latest thing, you know?

I don't know if it was really the latest thing, but.

It was a very fancy update at the time.

But anyways, I worked for Eric Garrison, Justin Raimondo there, and I just learned a hell of a lot of this stuff.

And I guess I'm always trying to kind of build my own timeline in my head of how I understand all this stuff and how it all plays into it, you know, each other, the different things happening.

And I guess it's kind of a libertarian economic analysis kind of thing too, where just...

to a real libertarian, a real free market guy, essentially anything that the government does is going to cause some distortion in the economy and in the natural order of things.

And then it's probably going to be a problem.

Maybe it's necessary, but it's probably going to cause problems.

And then you're going to have more excuses for government to intervene more to fix the problems that they created and then continue like in the army, they call it a self-licking ice cream cone.

But it's the same thing, whether you're talking about

you know, the welfare state or the regulatory state or, you know, inflationary money and all the different things that government does that cause all these social problems, then they just are writing themselves new mandates to do more things.

And then it's applying that same kind of analysis to the military and the American world empire.

And if you,

Go, oh my God, look, they're burning our flag.

And then you go, well, wait a minute.

Well, what did happen before that?

Then you'll find that it all goes back to Harry Truman or whatever.
