“Frustration is the spark. Action is the solution.” In this episode of Libertarian Leadership Academy, veteran candidate Joe Hannoush speaks with C. Michael Pickens about the everyday frustrations caused by bloated bureaucracy and nonsensical government regulations. Using Washington State as an example, they describe how local governments often rubber-stamp directives handed down from the capital—leaving citizens powerless and fed up. But instead of stopping at anger, the conversation points to a clear solution: run for office. Many successful candidates start with a single frustrating encounter, then decide to step up and fix a broken system from the inside. 🎯 Take the next step:👉 Join the Libertarian Leadership Academy and learn how to run for office:http://www.libertarianleadership.org/👉 Join a supportive community of different libertarian groups and activists:📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Libertarianleadershipacademy📺 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LibertarianLeadershipAcademy Leadership starts with understanding—and action.

If you genuinely support decolonization, you must stand against the Arab colonization of the Levant that began with the Islamic invasions. Israel is the only state in history that represents the successful return of a native people after expelling their imperial occupiers. The population now calling themselves "Palestinians" are the ideological echo of the 7th-century expansion that swallowed the Middle East and displaced the native culture. This is not a resistance movement against foreign invaders. It is the desperate attempt of a former empire to hold onto its colonial spoils. The only alternative to Jewish sovereignty is absolute indigenous extinction. We Iranians understand this intimately. Our nation is currently held hostage by the same 7th-century ideology, making Israel's survival the only hope for the region's pre-Islamic soul.

Here is the recording of our latest session. History does not award points for good intentions. It only records who survived and who did not. In our latest daily session, the room confronted the paralysis of the Western mind regarding immigration and the preservation of order. The backdrop was grim. We analyzed the recent mob violence in Bangladesh where a Hindu man was burned alive. This sparked immediate friction. We debated whether this brutality is a universal human capacity or a symptom of specific ideology. While the argument was raised that any human is capable of savagery under pressure, the consensus shifted. We are not dealing with a glitch in human biology. We are dealing with specific, incompatible cultural software. The discussion then pivoted to the West's suicidal obsession with "fairness." Friction emerged between the idealists and the realists. While the right to asylum was defended as a foundational value, the room countered with a colder, more urgent logic. Debating the morality of exclusion is a luxury that only secure nations can afford. The prevailing sentiment was clinical. You cannot prioritize the rights of the outsider over the safety of the citizen. The "oxygen mask" analogy became the anchor of this logic. You must secure your own mask before assisting others. If the West continues to prioritize abstract altruism over concrete survival, it will cease to exist. At that point, its capacity to be "fair" to anyone disappears entirely. We are watching a civilization debate its own borders while the gates are already burning. We are not here to comfort you. We are here to prepare you. Every session acts as a strategic briefing on the state of liberty and the threats against it. If you are ready to trade comfortable delusions for cold reality, the calendar is open.
