USA’s Military/Monetary Hegemony is Over

September 6, 2025

We Forced the World to Unite…Against US!

Freedom, Indiana – Our nation’s founders warned us.  Eisenhower warned us.  Innumerable politicians, economists and even losers like me have warned through generations and decades, against central banks, empire-building, entangling-alliance meddling, nannying, and military/monetary bullying.  Our costs are rising, our standard of living is falling, and the recent meeting of international leaders, and expo of military might in Beijing, presaged that USA’s costly exertions of global domination will end, one way, or another.  As all proud empires fall, so shall ours. 

It’s not all Trump’s fault.  Our century-old fiat currency system and Federal Reserve Bank cabal doomed us to the twin perils of the Cantillon Effect, which made the rich, richer at the expense of the non-Investment Class; and, since the Breton Woods Agreement after WWII, the Triffin Paradox, which describes the inflation and inevitable collapse of the dollar’s dominance as the global Reserve Currency.

But Trump’s manic gyrations of military and monetary bullying, piling on more international sanctions on everybody, particularly after the EU/Biden freezing of Russian assets, and recently, the helter-skelter tariffs and regime change efforts, accelerated moves already begun by nations around the world, to end our empire’s destructive carrot-and-mostly-stick manipulation and subjugation of the planet.  Economic alliances like BRICS and ASEAN, and a new military axis of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea, now comprise most of the world’s population, and economic production.  We’ve funded, armed and trained our enemies, and betrayed our friends.  We turned against what made this nation successful, and subjected ourselves to demagogues and plutocrats.  We have literally forced most of the world to turn against us. Who can blame them?

But we can come out of this OK if we do a few things that should’ve been done long ago.

First, stand-down our Military-Industrial Monster, and focus on free trade.  Real free trade.  Now.  Today.  Globally.  We ought to publicly issue a very humble and honest mea culpa that we’re broke, and that we can no longer govern, aid, punish, defend or nanny any country but our own.  Sorry.

Second, End the Fed, and reestablish a sound, and BTW, constitutional, monetary system.  G. Edward Griffin wrote a workable, stepwise plan to do this in “The Creature from Jekyll Island.”  I’m not aware of a better plan.

Finally, and this is the hardest sell, but must happen if we’re to avoid casting our seniors into ditches.  We must phase-out and privatize both Social Security and Medicare.  I’m on SS and Medicare myself, and I’m certain this would be a massive improvement for all of us, not the catastrophe our rulers would have you believe.  This would stop our slide into destitution, and start us marching toward real prosperity. 

If we’d prefer to continue our acceleration toward destitution and the sociopolitical drainpipes of history, we can of course keep reelecting the corrupt millionaire politicians that are protecting the Epstein files and care more about Netanyahu, than you. 

But if you give anything I’ve said above any credit at all, please start pressuring the politicians we’ve been reelecting, AND start looking now, today, for better replacements.  Encourage people that you know would be moral, responsible, constitutional public servants to run for office, and/or run yourself.

We can fix this, or at least clean up a big mess and avoid real catastrophe.  But the clock is ticking, and the USA now has real competition for King of this rock.  And that doesn’t have to be the end of the world.

Radicalizing the world against Israel

For Immediate Release

Contact: Andrew Horning
Horning for US Senate

 

September 25, 2024

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.  He will be speaking at the Fort Wayne Farmer’s Market, Saturday, September 28 after 12:30pm, and will be available to discuss this press release at 1pm.

First, the disclaimers:

I’ve a smidge of Jewish DNA, but that’s not why I believe Israel is a wonderful country in spite of institutionalized racism.  Many of my close family members, including my daughter, have made trips to the Holy Land.  I personally enjoyed working with two Israel-based medical software companies.  I want Israel to succeed as a nation in health, peace, prosperity and freedom such as we’re supposed to have here.  Furthermore, whether Netanyahu is a hero, or a corrupt monster, or both, is not my concern. 

My concern is that almost all of our elected politicians do whatever AIPAC, over a dozen other pro-Israel groups and Netanyahu want, at a very high cost to both of our nations, and more importantly, to the people therein.  Our money and combined actions have trained and armed a growing global body of anger toward Israel that will not end well.  Not for Israel, and not for the nation we should be concerned about…our own.

At least Trump openly admitted he works for Israel, in the form of his major donors, Miriam and Sheldon Edelson.  “I’d always give them something for Israel,” he said; and “I gave them the Golan Heights, and they never even asked for it.”  That was after he asked of David Friedman, “Give me a quick lesson on the Golan Heights; like five minutes or less.” 

Indiana’s federal politicians are as at least as overt in their devotion to the other nation, but less candid about the process and people involved. 

I don’t believe that the close to 90% of AIPAC donations that go to Democrats means that Republicans are cheap to buy.  I think Republicans tend to be religious, and their Whack-a-Mole response to every group that seems to threaten Israel is buoyed by good intentions.

But you know which road is paved in good intentions.  Western nations’ Middle East interventions have been self-destructive and catastrophic through the past 111 years.  I suggest we dust off and apply a principle best articulated 223 years ago: “Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations—entangling alliances with none.”

That may just forestall WWIII, save two great nations, and offer World Peace as a nice side benefit.

Why vote Libertarian?

For Immediate Release

September 3, 2024

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

Maybe now, western civilization has reached Peak Crazy, and there’s enough public disgust, and hopefully desire, to resurrect the best societal ideas, design and practices in human history.  I say, “hopefully,” because it’s those ideas, design and practice that I’m putting on Indiana’s US Senate ballot.  I’m the only one.  On Indiana ballots, only Libertarians not an inherently divisive, unconstitutional and obviously dysfunctional, puppet show of influence peddling and corruption.

In the race for US President, the tribal war drums are too loud and angry for the calming voice of reason to have much effect.  But the POTUS role isn’t where most of the power and trouble lies.  It’s actually our embarrassingly corrupt duopoly congress that’s been robbing us of wealth, health, opportunity, peace, security, justice and, of course freedom.  Constitutionally, the federal congress has sole power and accountability for most of our worst and pending problems, from local governance and schools, up to international policy, sanctions, money, trade and war.  They just prefer to deny it, and blame the courts, bureaucrats, other nations…and of course, the President.

By the billions raised in federal congressional races, it’s obviously here that most of the insider trading, foreign coercion, and every other kind of corruption and abuse of power has the freest, and apparently least-accountable, dominion over our daily lives. 

That has to stop, and only voters can stop it.  We should start by voting to stop it.  I’ve won at least a Primary Election as a Republican for US House (and probably the General Election as well, if only living voters counted).  So I know that the crony network cannot be fixed by representing and sustaining what we all know isn’t working.  Those of us who’ve chosen to run as independent or “third party” candidates are therefore the only ones who can even talk about corruption and real solutions with a straight face.  Libertarians are the only ones offering genuine, principled support of nonpartisan justice, peace, free trade, prosperity, individual rights, and the constitutional, moral order for society that our founders only dreamed of.

Only “third way” politicians can serve as political marriage counselors, healing the absurd separations between us all, and offering both cover and public mandate for the many Democrats and Republicans who no doubt really want to do the right thing.

But mostly, Libertarians have proven to be correct and truthful about the most critical political issues, while the other parties have proven to be at least deceitful, and of course, catastrophically wrong.

We have weapons of peaceful revolution in our votes.  We’ve never even tried to use them, not really. 

How about you give us a chance while we still have elections?

Liberty or Bust!

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

“Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.”  Those words span languages and centuries because they express the observable fact that our civilizations have a yet-unbroken, 100% rate of eventual self-destruction, and by the most predictably insane ways.

So…what a year, right?  The gaslighting, outright lying, embarrassingly obvious corruption, as well as the chickens coming home to roost from trans-generationally awful domestic and international monetary policy and military mayhem, have made us a hotly divided nation on the verge of WWIII, financial collapse, and maybe Civil War.  You’d think we’d want to address an issue or two…like maybe debt, spending, inflation and the pending collapse of Social Security.  Yet in traveling around the state, I’m seeing a disturbingly common pair of reactions to my candidacy:

1. Complete agreement with everything I say, have said for decades, and still want to accomplish; and yet,
2. A politely expressed, but astoundingly resolute, tribal fealty and anger, that prevents them from turning against the unconstitutional, inherently divisive, tribal and destructive Two-Party Puppet Show, that got us into this catastrophic, flaming mess.

Have we not suffered enough?  Are we not yet ready to examine and accept our own role, power and accountability in our governance?  It’s We The People, after all.  We outnumber the bad guys, scores of millions to one.  We have, in our votes, weapons of peaceful revolution.

Elections are not about candidates or parties.  They’re always and only about voters.  All I can do as a candidate for US Senate is offer the following: 

1. I’m the only one who’d do everything I could to decentralize, dissect, declaw and defund what has become an anti-constitutional oligarchy of PACS, foreign governments, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag and in general…a criminal crony crime ring.
2. I’m the only one who can even talk about the Donor Class and duopoly political corruption with a straight face, as I’m the only candidate opposing, and not representing and sustaining this horrid scam. 
3. I’m the only one who could embody a healing “Third Way,” or political marriage counselor, to stand down the hatemongering stupidity and illegality of the Two Party factions our founders warned against.
4. A chance for you to make an unmistakably strong choice that you’ve suffered enough, and are ready to take over your government without firing a shot.

Any vote for even the best R or D is a vote to sustain the puppet show.  Any vote for any alternative says, at the very least, that you’re sick of this self-immolating madness, and want to concentrate on both healing this nation, and quit doing everything else with our money, our rights, and our lives. 

I’m offering peace, prosperity, security, privacy, open government; and I’m certainly the only one offering liberty and justice for all.

So, what is it that we wish?  What would we have?  Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God!  I know not what course others may take; but as for me, well…please give me a chance to serve you, before this all blows up.

Liberty or Bust!

Can rethink our war policy, please?

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

With my mother’s side of the family long disregarding some genealogical and DNA evidence to the contrary, I allege that I am not at all Jewish.  I certainly wasn’t raised in any way to make me claim hereditary ownership of Palestine, or maintain enmity toward the sons of Ishmael.  I’ve in fact read a lot of history about Zionism, and the many prophetic warnings from T.E. Lawrence about western meddling in the Middle East.  So perhaps this disqualifies me from saying that we citizens, voters and taxpayers of the US of A, should stay the !@#$ out of the Middle East, and stop serving that shyster Netanyahu’s desire to cajole every nuclear power (including and especially the forever-almost-nuclear power, Iran) on the planet into war. 

After all, these days, only some people are allowed to speak on particular subjects.

But I nevertheless have what I think are good reasons for my disinclination toward WWIII and self-immolation, no matter the geographic spark of the conflagration:  We’re past-broke, falling apart in every way, and on the verge of a very ugly multi-faceted civil war over, among other things, illegal aliens and partisan idolatry.  In other words, We The People are a hot mess, are in no condition, and simply cannot afford, what is already a rapidly escalating global war with a growing number of BRICS block nations who’ve tired of our global hegemony.  Besides, we’ve not finished our war on Russia yet.

However, I can offer instead, proven solutions to our internal problems that would set us on a course toward peace, prosperity, security, justice, as well as political and economic freedom such that none of us alive today have ever experienced.  I suggest we consider this offer, instead of serving the ravenous greed and power lust of the Malthusian eugenicist puppet master psychopaths pushing the world toward Armageddon.

Once we have, as suggested by our Declaration of Independence, righted ourselves by opposing the political forms to which we are accustomed, then we can go ahead and discuss blowing up the planet.

Does that sound reasonable?

The coming monetary catastrophe

For Immediate Release

Contact: Andrew Horning
Horning for US Senate

July 22, 2024

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

For most of the last three decades, I’ve written extensively about the USA’s monetary madness, inflation, impending monetary/economic and social collapse, and how to fix it all.  But now’s not the time to detail the Cantillon Effect, the Triffin Paradox or the still-constitutionally-required gold/silver “specie” backing of all official notes and currency, because we are about to get smacked upside the head by a world that is sick of our $#!+.

Some necessary history: Before our entry into WWII, the USA had acquired a huge percentage of the world’s monetary gold, and still had a fair bit of it after the war.  So, given the stability and growth of our society back then, the Breton Woods agreement made the US Dollar an at least partial “reserve currency” for the world – a sort of monetary exchange/credit card system that paid the USA a debt-based credit of 2-3% on all dollar-denominated transactions because of our inherently inflationary “fiat currency” Fed scheme.  This is what the French Minister of Finance Valéry Giscard d’Estaing famously called our nation’s “exorbitant privilege.”   So, in 1967, Charles de Gaulle called the bluff on the USA’s gold reserves on the claim that we’d spent it all on the CIA, Vietnam war/military-industrial complex, and political spending recently spurred by LBJ’s “Great Society” programs.  This led to a sort of global “run on the bank” of US Dollars, prompting Nixon to end the aforementioned Breton Woods agreement.  This led to rapid inflation, and an emergency deal with Saudi Arabia to create the “petrodollar system,” whereby we fought wars for the House of Saud, in exchange for a global market for USD in the oil trade.  The USA has since used that petrodollar leverage, and military force, to get what we want out of other people’s countries.  Through the years, our sanctions, manipulations, and recently, the REPO Act, to literally steal other nations’ assets (specifically Russia’s, for now), have made nations lose so much faith in the worth of the US Dollar, that the BRICS nations, and their growing list of partners, are launching a new monetary exchange system, and a major effort to “de-dollarize” in October of this year…as many of us (not just me!) have warned for some time. 

Whew!  That’s a lot of stuff, I know.  But it’s important to understand how we’ve used our money as a weapon of global hegemony, a scheme that has now turned against us.  What this means to USA citizens is that, starting very soon, maybe even by early 2025, we’ll see inflation like we’ve never imagined, a massively decreased standard of living, perhaps even World War (if we’ve not started one for other reasons), on top of the economic depression already underway.

In other words, our incumbent parties, politicians, and the puppet masters who own and operate them, have brought us to the edge of actual ruin.  But we could fix it.  I’ve a proven plan to do so.  You ought to ask me for details.

Liberty or Bust!

The REAL “Wasted Vote”

For Immediate Release

Horning for US Senate

July 10, 2024

What is a “wasted vote?”

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

No doubt all independent and so-called “third party” candidates hear the same tired canards about “stealing votes,” “throwing elections,” and, “voting for you, just elects <evil candidate X>.”  These manipulations have been debunked often and conclusively enough, that I seldom respond, as the people who utter such nonsense, tend to be immovably loyal partisan parrots.  Besides, those of us who’ve spent our own time and money opposing the crony crime ring of global authoritarians, would delight in “spoiling” corrupt, bought, fraudulent elections…if only we could.

So, especially given how comically awful our political puppet-show has become, it’s the “wasted vote” self-deception we need to address.

Both crony parties are absolutely sold-out, and all of us know it.  Too many decent, well-intentioned people have wasted their money, time and even lives, trying to fix the multi-trillion-dollar, divide-and-conquer scam that’s fully owned and operated by Big Pharma, Big Ag, Big Food, Big Tech, PACS, NGOs, INGOs, the CCP, the military/monetary industrialists, spies, lies and various wealthy crooks.  The very best of our currently elected “major party” politicians like Thomas Massie, can do no more than sustain false hope, as our nation accelerates toward self-destruction.  What we’ve been doing is not working.  This anti-constitutional system cannot be fixed.  It must be replaced.

Blunt truth – ANY vote for ANY Democratic or Republican Party candidate, who has, after all, voluntarily chosen to represent a destructively corrupt system, is a vote for corruption.  It’s a vote for unsustainable debt spending, unending war, and wealth transfer from the bottom and middle to the top, by means of the Cantillon Effect built into an inflationary crony banking system that’s robbed us of both wealth and opportunity since 1912.  It’s blowing re-electoral kisses to the Donor Class, and all the genuinely evil puppet-masters bent on global domination.

That is the wasted vote.  Worse, that is a vote for impoverishing violence, injustice, social fracturing and societal collapse.  How could anything get better as long as we keep re-electing this monstrous criminal enterprise?  More to the point, what’s the only way to win anything better?

Voting against the whole rotten system is what we’re supposed to do.  Elections are not for hiring politicians.  Politicians hire themselves if you let them.  In a Republic, the democratic process is for firing tyrants – to replace them with public servants.  Elections are supposed to be a flush lever and toilet plunger.  They’re our weapon of peaceful revolution, so that we don’t have to have…the other kind. 

How can we make it work?  Look me up.  Let’s talk.

Liberty or Bust!

USA Foreign Policy Is …WWIII?

USA Foreign Policy Is Self-Immolation

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

George Washington’s Farewell Address was, far more than any recent US President has proven capable, wise counsel.  Besides his warnings against political parties, he said, “It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign.”  Thomas Jefferson’s first Inaugural Address further promoted that sound policy as, “…peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.”  Many US Presidents, and all the wisest people, said much the same…until a few decided that global domination under USA rule seemed like a good idea.

Setting aside, for the moment, the tragic, ongoing mistakes in creating, empowering and submitting to the destructively corrupt FBI and CIA, our nation’s worst mistakes in foreign, as well as domestic policy, have been in seeking, and maintaining, military-monetary global hegemony at the cost of…well…everything.

For example, just after WWII, our nation embarked on a mission to maintain separation between the USSR and China; and NATO was meant to keep the USSR as troubled and weak as possible.  After the negotiated collapse of the USSR, we added Iran and a few other nations to our basket of deplorables, to ensure that none of these nations could challenge the USA’s empire.  We very specifically violated multiple agreements of neutrality and buffer zones, and overthrew governments in Yugoslavia and Ukraine, to expand NATO, and US forces, right onto Russia’s national doorstep.

Our incessant covert and overt operations worldwide to overthrow, assassinate, destabilize regions, and wage undeclared forever wars, as well as using the US Dollar and trade sanctions to oppress and control other nations, have pushed many former enemies and uneasy allies much closer together, such that the BRICS alliance has grown into a bloc of nations now economically and militarily powerful enough to threaten our military/monetary empire after all…and maybe win.

Even before June 23, after USA-supplied and directed cluster munitions killed beachgoing citizens in Sevastopol, Crimea, our own government has pushed the world far closer to WWIII than we were during the Cuban Missile Crisis. 

I’ll be blunt.  Our government is today, the worst, most existential threat to our Republic, and We The People.  It’s robbing us blind and endangering us all for the benefit of a few Malthusian eugenicist psychopaths, global puppet masters and cronies bent on power and money.  They don’t care a whit about the rest of us.

The bad news and simultaneous good news in all this, is that it’s all by our own choices and actions.  We submit.  We pay for it in taxes, both overt and hidden (inflation’s another topic).  We pay for it with our lives.  And we have continuously re-elected it when it’s always been in our right, duty and power to “…abolish the forms to which we are accustomed.”

What I’m offering with my candidacy is proven to work better than anything else anybody, any nation, has ever tried…peace, prosperity, security, justice and freedom.  THAT is quite the opposite of what the other candidates represent.  

But electing me would not be about me.  And if elected, I would not be just one contrarian voice in the US Senate.

Election Day is citizens’ power of peaceful revolution.  Electing me would unmistakably represent a change of heart, spirit, mind and action in our whole populace.  It would represent a cultural epiphany and call to arms such that it would truly be, a revolutionary shot heard ‘round the world.

God Knows we need that.

Want a “Good Republican?” Vote Libertarian.

For Immediate Release

Contact: Andrew Horning
Horning for US Senate

June 3, 2024

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

Everyone has at one point said, “Follow the money.”  But who does that?  We sure don’t vote like we follow the money.  And the media sure haven’t been any help following the threads of PACS and “bundlers” to the donor class of military, monetary, industrial and foreign nationals who invest heavily in our politicians. 

As a Libertarian, I’m often told I don’t raise enough money to be ‘viable,’” as if “viable” means fully owned by the Donor Class who control our media (even most of new media), information, education, entertainment, industrial, Big Ag, Big Pharma and increasingly technocratic political systems.  I’m also no part of the Hatfield/McCoy, Republican v Democrat, divide-and-conquer puppet show we’ve played since WWII, or the Power For Sale political primaries we’ve had since the 1970’s. 

So I’m free to say that, even here in Indiana, where Republicans are increasingly indistinguishable from Democrats, there are still good Republicans, and good Democrats.  Of course, none of them are in federal office.  We have nobody like Thomas Massie or Rand Paul of KY, or Justin Amash of MI.  Why?  Because through the last several Indiana GOP primaries, all the best GOP candidates, lose in our embarrassingly expensive, corrupting and pre-scripted primary elections, to candidates approved by their Donor Class puppet masters.   I’ve won a GOP primary election for US House, and I’ve seen the backstage.  The unconstitutional, inherently divisive and corrupt Two Party System our founders warned against cannot be fixed.  It must be ended to let better people have a shot at toppling our plutocrats.

For example, promising newcomers like Charles Bookwalter, a strong constitutionalist, so good he could even be a Libertarian, lost to the crony establishment.  The only constitutionalist federal officeholder Indiana has had in a hundred years, John Hostettler, also lost to the status quo.  Numerous other, superb candidates over the years, like nationally-known economist Dr. Eric Schansberg, have been brushed away by rules changes and smoky room shenanigans.  In other words, our best and brightest lose Primary Elections to the so-called “lesser evil” (but ever-more evil) politics all voters claim to hate, but keep reelecting nonetheless.

So now, every single member of Indiana’s delegation to DC has voted against individual rights, domestic prosperity and sovereignty, privacy, sane economics, and national security.  They’ve instead voted to fund, train and arm every side of every conflict on the planet; voted to destabilize foreign governments and create enemies everywhere; and voted to increase the size and cost and Big Brother powers of their military, monetary, NGO, corporate and intelligence agency puppet masters.  They’ve voted to fund the literal invasion of our country with foreigners who’re even allowed to vote in our elections.  They’ve lined their own pockets with insider trading as they wipe out the middle class and push too many into intractable debt.  They’ve voted us onto the edge of simultaneous societal, economic and moral collapse, as well as the very real potential for WWIII.  Every one of them.  No exceptions.

While my book, “Relighting the Torch” goes into much more detail on the problems, and offers the proven solutions that have always been ours for the taking, the short answer is that We The People have all the power to fix all of this.  But we have to want to.  When we really want to, we will change how we’ve been wielding our weapons of peaceful revolution – our votes.  …If we still have elections.

The most important, actionable words in our once-cherished Declaration of Independence are, “…that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.  But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

I hope we have suffered enough of our government’s long train of abuses and usurpations that we’re ready to invoke our right, and duty, to throw off such ungoverned, sold-out “government.”

After the judicial travesty in NYC, I understand why so many, even Libertarians, now see Donald Trump as the “Protest Vote” for USA President.  Even though he still surrounds himself with Deep State apparatchiks, foreign agents and, of course, Technocrats… and has endorsed sold-out, awful politicians, I will no longer try to talk people away from him.  Our politicians are, after all. Not the problem. They’re just a symptom of the problem…with us.

And let’s be serious about the real movers and puppetmasters in our government.  Enough of us already know that it’s the NGOs, corporations and absurdly wealthy Malthusian eugenicists behind the curtain who’re pulling the strings, such that nothing works the way it’s supposed to.  Today, most laws are written, judged and executed by unelected bureaucrats in executive agencies.  And many of those laws come from other nations (notably Israel and China), with military actions that cause our own nation real harm.  Congress hasn’t constitutionally declared a war since WWII, yet we’ve had scarcely a year’s peace since.  Truman, Eisenhower and JFK warned us against our spies, military-industrialists and “scientific-technological elites” decades ago, and we should’ve been concerned when the warnings stopped.  Now we’re in actual existential trouble…and not the fearmongering that’s inundated us every election season.  No, we’re in real trouble now.

And yet, we keep voting the way we’ve always done…reelecting the same parties, same politicians, until they die in office, covered in cobwebs of corruption.

It’s time for Hoosiers to vote the way we talk.  That means that anti-war, pro-individual liberty Democrats, as well as sound money, sound economy, small-government Republicans, need to vote Libertarian.  Let’s talk.

Liberty or Bust!

The BRICS End Run

Horning for US Senate

January 25, 2024

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is seeking the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s nomination for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

It’s apparently newsworthy that Jim Banks says we shouldn’t trust John Rust.  I’ve read and heard it everywhere.  So this internecine tiff must be important news! 

But as our nation crumbles on the eve of WWIII, let’s strongly consider whether we should trust any part or person of the inherently divisive, unconstitutional, sold-out and obviously destructive Two Party System. 

Point to ponder: the 2023 BRICS Summit end-run around counterproductive, transgenerational, “bipartisan” global and domestic policies and actions.  The nations’ agreements underscored what some of us have been warning about for decades.  As the USA has spent trillions on secrecy, global hegemony, internal division and never-ending war, the nations we’ve angered and alienated with our sanctions, violence and subterfuge, have begun pushing us aside.

• The original BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) have, as of this month, admitted six new members to their bloc – Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.   This consortium now controls fully half of global oil production.
• They’re exiting the USA’s “petrodollar system” to firm up their own currencies, and/or create a new common currency to ultimately become the global Reserve Currencies…maybe backed by the metals they’re buying up fast.  This will make member nations immune to the USA’s oil/ dollar embargoes, and destroy the strong global market for the inflated, stretched-like-toffee U$D.
• They’ll continue to build infrastructure and financial/technological capability through China’s global “One Belt One Road” initiative and trade agreements, while the USA keeps lobbing missiles, drones and spies at everybody.  They’re buying friends, trade partners and dependents, while we’re making enemies, and robbing friends.
• They’ll continue work with the many wealthy elites, NGOs, INGOs, governments and transnational corporations[1] enacting the UN’s Agenda 2030 to take down western hegemony.  This New World Order replicates China’s “hybrid economy” model of corporatism under technologically enabled totalitarianism.  It’s a global techno-panopticon of total population control and crony capitalism, while the USA is persisting in aggressively militarized mercantilism, and…ironically, also replicating the CCP’s social order.
• They will likely resolve to dump the US Dollar for bloc transactions, and use a BRICS commodity-backed currency replacement late this year, or almost surely by the end of the next. If they do…it’ll be a major calamity when our inflated dollars lose market share, and investors stop buying Treasuries. Major calamity as in…financial collapse of a sort we’ve never seen. Even the Great Depression will seem like polite, napkin-covered hiccup in comparison.

BRICS nations have their problems, to be sure.  But they’re mostly on the way up, with good plans for growth, while we’re very demonstrably self-destructing at an accelerating pace as the bipartisan consensus of our disastrous Two Party Scam. 

This shouldn’t be happening.  We shouldn’t have so many enemies.  We should have more people wanting to emulate the peace, prosperity, liberty and justice for all that is ours to claim, by law.  And we should be uniting against those that have us fighting each other!  …But we’re steered in the wrong direction by every other candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat.

Ah, but can you trust me?  Smart question.

Well, only I have been protesting, campaigning, pressing lawsuits and committing to print all the same objections and solutions through three decades – solutions that, BTW, have been proven to work better than anything else we humans have ever tried.  And it’s all in my book for all to see and judge me by my own words, and thirty years of nonstop and unpaid action…

Liberty or Bust!
