    There are two main goals in War: 1. You must break the webs of trust which bind an enemy society together. 2. You must build new webs of trust based upon: a). Individuals lend political power to government b). Everyone, including yourself, your enemies, and the government, must have equal protection of the law and c). Individuals own property, which is protected by law and by calling in the loan of political power from government.

  2. Victor,

    Thank you for sharing your personal experiences. I’m sure your loved ones are in a better place.

    Jack,

    You mentioned “Useless Eaters” during your discussion about euthanasia. As you’re probably aware, this was the term the Nazis coined to describe the mentally ill and cognitively impaired during the infant stages of the Holocaust. I believe many Germans were repulsed by what can only be described as the mass murder of a vulnerable population, so the Nazis justified their evil crimes by saying it was euthanizing these poor people out of compassion. In less than a decade after these events the Nazis opened Auschwitz and would go on to gas 1.1 million people.

    I just read that “maverick” senator John Fetterman voted with every other Democrat in the Senate to block a bill that would’ve forced doctors and nurses to do whatever is medically necessary to save a neonate born during a botched abortion.

    Just like the Nazis, the Democrats’ ideology has trumped basic humanity.

    1. Ron I am well aware of the history of this program … actually anyone who watches Judgement at Nuremburg will get a glimpse of it in the performance of Montgomery Clift. I recommend anyone interested read By Trust Betrayed by Hugh Gallagher. The Ayan Racers were even killing kids with serious acne problems. The death certificates always gave some medical cause unrelated to the real cause (murder). So much of this madness was influenced by Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.

  3. I listen to Victor’s podcast on a regular basis and I’m a big fan, however I have one complaint. Victor please spend a little cash (before California gets its hands on it) and buy a quality microphone so you don’t sound like you are doing your show from the bathroom.

    1. Dear Rick,

      We were made aware of the problem with the professor’s audio and have corrected it. You should notice a difference in the quality of the audio starting with the podcast that will be published later this morning (around 7 AM Eastern).

  4. OK, everybody. This is two podcast in a row where Victor sounds like he’s in a tin can. We have to get the miking correct. Without proper recognition of the message the podcast is nearly useless. Please fix the microphone.
