Jeffrey Tucker

Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse podcast, Inside Rail.

I am thrilled to be sitting again with Jeffrey Tucker back on Dark Horse because of course, things just keep humming along.

There's no shortage of carnage to be discussed.

So before we get into it, Jeffrey, welcome back to Dark Horse.

It, it's a dangerous shithole." Then why do you go back to Syria on vacation twice a year? Right? Why, why, why are you constantly sending money and, and, and going back to these places, right? Wh- why, if it's, if it's so awful? Are-- You know, do you go back to Pakistan to pick a wife and bring her back to England? Why? Oh, 'cause you're just-- You're here and, and for the reasons that, you know, are elucidated in Bell Curve and elsewhere and, and that every one of these people knew this is the Rothbard-Brockwell report.

Jeff Tucker was there.

Paul Gottfried was there.

Um, all these, uh...

[upbeat music] And by the way, just, uh, quickly, what, um, Krista Pike did.

In 1995, a student at the Job Corps Center in Knoxville told her friend, who was also a student, that she intended to kill another student, Colleen Slemmer, we just mentioned, because she had just felt mean that day.

That's Pike.

The next day, uh, she observed Pike, uh, along with Slemmer and two other Job Corps students, a- as well as Pike's boyfriend, walk away from the Job Corps Center towards s- toward, you know, walk away from the Job Corps Center.

And then, uh, a few hours later, she observed them again, and S- Christine Slemmer wasn't with them.

Later that night, Pike went into this friend's room, coworker's room, and told her that she had just killed Christine Slemmer.

She had brought back a piece of the victim's skull as a souvenir.

She showed her coworker the piece of the skull.

And, um, as you look at- What Musk is doing with X, he said when he took it over, he's gonna make it an everything app.

And, uh, so Jeffrey Tucker wrote an article about it.

He said, "Well, um, I was kinda skeptical that he would be able to do that, but it looks like he is about to pull this off." And he said, "If you look at it, he's gonna pay people, uh, an interest rate that is, um, uh, quite high compared to the fact that you don't get paid anything if you got money in your checking account at the banks anymore." Uh, that all changed.

And he said, um, "Their annual percentage yield is an eye-popping 6% as an initial customer acquisition rate.

They absolutely refuse to respond, and I'm looking at this and saying, "Why would I let these people be a bank?" You know, they don't do anything in terms of connecting to you, and I've seen them, in my experience with, um, uh, both Twitter and with X after Musk took it over.

They are highly controlling of speech, so I would never trust them with this.

And even Jeffrey Tucker aft- after he is, uh, very impressed with it, he said, "Well pessimistically, X money becomes just another new layer of emergent financial control grid that spies on us and even worse.

The integration of money and social media reminds me of China's social credit system." It should, because that's exactly what it's based on, isn't it?

Good news.

In cultural news, Jeffrey Tucker correctly argues that between COVID and woke education, I'm sorry, let me say that again.

Jeffrey Tucker correctly argues that between COVID and woke, education is in upheaval.

You can see why I said that, woke education, because almost all education is woke.

But Between COVID and woke, education is in upheaval.
