Liberty vs. Power is a history podcast dedicated to what Murray Rothbard saw as the noble task of libertarians: "to de-bamboozle: to penetrate the fog of lies and deception of the State and its Court Intellectuals."

Lies and deception … yet, Rothbard promoted anarchism knowing full well that Mises wrote this:
Ludwig von Mises,
“Anarchism misunderstands the real nature of man. It would be practicable only in a world of angels and saints. Liberalism is not anarchism, nor has it anything whatsoever to do with anarchism. The liberal understands quite clearly that without resort to compulsion, the existence of society would be endangered and that behind the rules of conduct whose observance is necessary to assure peaceful human cooperation must stand the threat of force if the whole edifice of society is not to be continually at the mercy of any one of its members. One must be in a position to compel the person who will not respect the lives, health, personal freedom, or private property of others to acquiesce in the rules of life in society. This is the function that the liberal doctrine assigns to the state: the protection of property, liberty, and peace.”

Mises said the duty of the State is “the protection of property, liberty, and peace.” In other words, without the function of the State, protection of your property, liberty and peace is unobtainable for The People … like today.

Mises and Rothbard’s philosophies are opposed… State vs. Anarchism.
So why does Lew Rockwell, founder of the Mises Institute, and “Ludwig von Mises’s editor” promote anti-State when it is the State that protects property, liberty and peace?

When I learned what Rothbard had done to justify the slave owner’s war "Just War" against free Americans, I was taken aback learning that Rothbard went out of his way to lie about a dead man … Abraham Lincoln and the beginning of the Civil War. For a historian to lie is bad enough on its own, but lying about peaceful, anti-war family man… to call him a monstrous tyrant 100 years after he was killed certainly discredits any “history” he promoted. Seriously, the godfather of anarcho-capitalism is a documented liar, folks. Revisionist history.

Abraham Lincoln was nothing like the distorted view taught by the Mises Institute. “The Real Lincoln” is not the real Lincoln. Abe was anti-slavery, anti-war, pro capitalism, didn’t like to hunt, he was loved by his mother until she died, and loved by his step-mother until the day he was killed. Not a tyrant but a defender of individual liberty.

So why the distortion on Abraham Lincoln? What did Ludwig von Mises write about Abraham Lincoln? I am unable to find anything Mises said about Abraham Lincoln. That seems strange to me. What did Mises say? Perhaps nothing. My searches on the Mises Institute website returns nothing but hate about Abraham Lincoln … just like Woodrow Wilson said.

“Abraham Lincoln came of the most unpromising stock on the continent, the ‘poor white trash’ of the South. His shiftless father moved from place to place in the western country, failing where everybody else was successful in making a living; and the boy spent the most susceptible years of his life under no discipline but that of degrading poverty.” - President Woodrow Wilson the President who signed the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 on the eve of Christmas Eve after being pushed through committee in the middle of the night with 1/3 of the members of congress on Christmas vacation.

I was surprised by a letter sent to me, addressed to my home, in the U.S. mail “From the Desk of Lew Rockwell” dated November 15, 2022.

“Dear Friend,”
I know that is not true because I have not been kind to Murray N. Rothbard, or the Mises Institute, ever since I learned about Rothbard’s lies. So imagine my surprise to find out that Lew Rockwell has my home address. I don’t know where Lew Rockwell lives. Where did he get mine?

The letter, on quality parchment, purports to be a request for donation.
Mr. Rockwell, if you see this post, I only donate to truth tellers working toward individual liberty not tyrant liberty. I, like Abraham Lincoln, do not support slave owning tyrants but defend individual liberty… like Mises did.
