T.T. 27: the Ron Paul Revolution 2.0 arises

Readapting last week's T.T. draft to include two MASSIVE updates

---

Hola amigos,

Greetings from El Zonte!

---

You may have noticed, dear readers, that I missed last week’s T.T. post.

But whatever. This will be worth the wait.

Seriously. Trust me.

I’ve been busy.

Really busy.

Three low key HUGE things happened in the past two weeks.

In the rapidly rising world of decentralized media.

HUGE for the Bitcoiner movement.

HUGE for the decentralized “liberty movement” overall.

---

I initially started drafting this last Thursday — too late in the day to post in time — focusing just on the first of those three things.

In retrospect, this first of those three might seem slightly more trivial by comparison.

Fortunately though, it segues perfectly into the other two…

Last Thursday, a very significant new “Liberty Lockdown” episode was released.

---

SPECIAL GUEST:

SAIFEDEAN AMMOUS

---

---

“Destroying the Keynesian Worldview”

---

Full episode YouTube link:

---

You may have ALSO noticed — my dear readers — something else different last week.

A new type of post.

Specifically shared last Tuesday here on this Substack.

An entire new section of posts.

Specifically written to hype up that new “Liberty Lockdown” episode with Saif.

---

---

I’m a BIG fan of podcasts.

For readers who have been following me longer than a few weeks, this probably goes without saying by now.

(For new readers — welcome!)

---

---

I invest a LOT of my scarce time into podcast listening.

There are MANY good reasons why.

At some point soon, I’ll elaborate further.

For now, the best taste of my perspective is this previous T.T. post:

---

---

But enough about me for now.

Back to Saif and Clint:

---

Saifedean is an extraordinarily important author.

He wrote “The Bitcoin Standard”

THE book — THE quintessential book — on the topic of Bitcoin.

And so much more.

I was gonna elaborate further, but the other two topics are so huge, I’ll just leave it at that for now.

Again:

Check out last week’s post for more details on Saifedean.

---

---

Note to self:

“Blasting through the ruts of fiat conformity. Restoring the benefits of sound money traditions — the MANY merits of Austrian Economics and "low time preference" lifestyle — for the digital age”

^ was the original subtitle for last week’s draft of this post.

I’ll elaborate more later.

---

The two most important points for now are that Saifedean is the man who orangepilled:

1. the Mises Institute

2. Jordan Peterson

---

Why is that relevant?

---

Because of the other two lowkey massive developments in the past two weeks.

---

Orangepilling TWO different POTUS campaigns on “Spaces with Josie”

---

I only have 35 minutes left before midnight, so I’m gonna rush through this.

But there’s a LOT to unpack here.

Josie “The Redheaded Libertarian” (TRHL) is kind of a big deal.

She has over half a MILLION followers on “X”/Twitter.

One of whom is Elon Musk.

She’s in charge of “outside media” for Timcast… which itself has well over a million subscribers separately on both Twitter and YouTube!

(Not even counting all the audio listeners)

She’s the one who got Clint Russell on Timcast multiple times.

They’ve become legitimate friends, hanging out repeatedly IRL and everything.

---

“Spaces with Josie”

---

Josie recently started hosting a new show on “X” for Timcast.

And it’s lowkey a superpower.

As in “opportunity to speak directly with POTUS candidates while thousands of people listen” superpower.

Lowkey a big deal.

---

Two days ago — Tuesday, September 19th — Josie had on Joshua Smith.

Full 2 hour 40 minutes link here

---

Four days prior to that — September 15th — Josie had on Professor Michael Rectenwald.

Full 3 hour 40 minutes link here

---

I’m running out of time before midnight.

There’s way, way, WAYYYYYY too much to unpack here for me to get to it all.

But the short version?

I spoke with BOTH OF THE LEADING LIBERTARIAN POTUS CANDIDATES ABOUT THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC IN THE ENTIRE WORLD AT THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY:

---

BITCOIN

---

I adapted the same essential multifaceted question to the different strengths — and personal networks — of each candidate.

For now, I’ll leave my additional commentary out of this.

Here are the two clips in full:

---

My question for Professor Rectenwald:

7 minutes 13 seconds

(if you’re an email subscriber, click to the web version of this post to listen… and download if you’d like!)

---

---

My question for Joshua Smith:

7 minutes 34 seconds

(Again… if you’re an email subscriber, click to the web version of this post to listen… and download if you’d like!)

---

---

After the time to upload both of those seven minute video files, I only have ten minutes left now before midnight.

Before this “Thoreau Thursdays” post would technically become a Friday post…

And this is already over 1000 words long — TRIPLE my usual target length.

So I’ll just leave it here for now.

I will DEFINITELY be elaborating more on these topics though.

Orangepilling two competing POTUS campaigns.

Playing them off each other.

Competing over which can have the strongest possible offical Bitcoin policy.

And — more importantly — the best possible strategy for messaging about “End the Fed” and Bitcoin to MILLIONS of people.

It’s early days.

But it’s happening.

The ball is already rolling…

Watch out, fiat world.
