💰➡️❤️ Why Spending More Isn’t Always Helping More In this clip from the Libertarian Leadership Academy, Scott Jewett and Michael Pickens point to a hard truth: Seattle has a billion-dollar homeless “infrastructure,” yet homelessness continues to rise—because too much of the money is absorbed by bureaucracy and salaries instead of reaching people who actually need help. Scott makes the case that cutting taxes, reducing waste, and lowering costs doesn’t reduce compassion—it enables it. When people keep more of what they earn, they’re better positioned to give, support, and help their communities directly. Real solutions start with accountability—and trust in people, not systems. 🎙️ LLA Interview with Scott Jewett Hosted by C.

The Iranian people have drawn a line in the sand that the Islamic Republic cannot cross: on one side is the regime’s obsession with the "Palestinian cause," and on the other is the return of Prince Reza Pahlavi. This clarity was forged in the recent chants echoing across the nation. When the streets shouted against Gaza and called for the King, they made a strategic calculation to sever the regime's lifeline. The Islamic Republic does not exist for Iran; it exists to fuel a pan-Islamic empire, using Palestine as a weapon to drain our national wealth. The people have finally identified the only antidote to this poison. Prince Reza Pahlavi is the Great Filter. For decades, the regime has manufactured fake oppositions (reformists, leftists, and anti-Western intellectuals) to create the illusion of choice. These figures serve as a safety valve, sharing the regime's core DNA: they hate Israel, they despise the West, and they fear the monarchy. But the street has weaponized the Prince’s name to expose them. The logic is surgical. If you cannot accept the Pahlavi platform, you are functionally part of the Islamic Republic. For years they told us that the support for Prince Reza Pahlavi was fake. They dismissed the millions of voices as Israeli bots and cyber armies, claiming he had no footing inside Iran. Today, that lie is being trampled in the streets of Iran. The propaganda machine has collapsed under the weight of reality. The Iranian people have realized that any alternative not aligned with Pahlavi is merely the regime wearing a different mask. There is no middle ground left. The choice is binary: the total restoration of our sovereignty or the continued extinction of our nation. As an Iranian, I watched them dismiss our voices for years, calling us robots or traitors for loving and supporting Pahlavi. Seeing my people chant the same name in the streets that we shouted to the world vindicates us. It proves we were never fake. We were never alone. The Iranian people have already figured it out: they know that the alliance between leftism and Islam is what destroyed their nation. Now, our mission is to ensure the rest of the world wakes up to this reality before it is too late. This group is the headquarters where we are assembling the force multiplier to fight these ideologies head-on. Help us in building the weight we need to win.

Here is the recording of our latest session. Totalitarian regimes do not die in a blaze of glory. They die in a cold sweat. They die when the executioner realizes he is the one being hunted. In our latest daily session, the group analyzed the psychological disintegration of the Iranian regime. We moved past the headlines to the mechanics of terror. The conclusion was stark. The Islamic Republic is no longer projecting power. It is hiding from its own shadow. The room highlighted a terrifying shift in the dynamic of control. We discussed reports of intelligence agencies contacting IRGC commanders directly on their personal phones. The ultimatum is simple. "We know where you sleep. Defect or face the consequences." This is not traditional warfare. It is the systematic dismantling of a mafia state using its own tactics. Members noted that this specific brand of fear has paralyzed the leadership. Commanders are terrified to gather in groups. They are suspicious of their own electronics. One member pointed out the grim irony of a brutal general afraid to touch his own remote control. When the leadership is this rattled, the chain of command dissolves. There was friction in the room regarding the final blow. Some argued for patience to let the internal collapse run its course. Others argued that surgical strikes are necessary right now to break the stalemate. But the consensus was clear. The riot police are now the ones afraid of being identified. The hunter has become the prey. There is a difference between consuming news and analyzing intelligence. In this community, we do not spectate; we scrutinize every fracture in the geopolitical landscape. Access the kind of unfiltered, high-level discourse that others are too afraid to broadcast.

The most efficient weapon for dismantling the West is deadlier than the Islamic bullet. It is the naturalized ballot. We fixate on the violence, tracking crime rates and terror plots, but this focus blinds us to the real siege. The ultimate threat posed by mass migration from Islamic regions is not just the shattering of peace. It is the rewriting of the code. When the West imports millions from culturally inferior nations, it does not just absorb people. It absorbs a rival operating system. We hand these populations the right to vote, allowing them to inject their values directly into the legislative blood of the state. A bullet can only kill a man. A ballot, cast in sufficient numbers, kills the very idea of the West. As an Iranian who fled the suffocating grip of this ideology, I see the very nightmare I escaped being rebuilt by your own laws. It is not integration. It is total extinction. Knowing the truth in isolation changes nothing. The sheer weight of the opposing vote requires a counter-weight of equal magnitude. One voice is a statistic, but a united front is a blockade. We are aggregating our numbers here to create that force here. The specific tactics will follow, but first, we must assemble the army.
