Dillon flags the UK as a live experiment in speech suppression, noting that the number of arrests for social media activity — specifically around immigration — has reached alarming levels. The key escalation: it's no longer just retweeting that gets you arrested, it's liking a post. Rogan notes the dark irony that if you're going to jail anyway, you might as well retweet. Dillon's structural argument is that when people cannot express grievances online without criminal consequences, that grievance simply builds rather than dissipates — and the government has removed the safety valve it most needs.
A UK parliamentary report estimated roughly 250,000 girls were victimised by organised rape gangs. The story was suppressed for years because media and authorities feared inflaming anti-immigration sentiment. As Tim Dillon puts it: under the guise of progressiveness, rape gangs were enabled.
A total of 8 states have filed lawsuits against social media platforms, including an ongoing case in Tennessee, using product liability and public nuisance theories to seek accountability.
France built 56 nuclear plants in the 1970s and now has the cheapest energy in Europe, making it independent of Russian or Middle Eastern energy geopolitics.
Estonia has a single tax form, a law preventing the government from asking citizens for the same information twice, and a flat rate of tax — enabling competitive taxation.
Portugal's Lisbon, once a city with a major heroin problem, legalised drugs and redirected enforcement spending into rehabilitation and housing, dramatically reducing crime.
The first Boland Amendment banning CIA and Defense Department funds for the Contras passed the House unanimously — yet the Reagan administration ignored it.
Over just two years, Saudi Arabia alone donated $32 million to the Contra rebels, giving loosely affiliated factions millions they had no way to spend on arms.
The National Endowment for the Preservation of Liberty raised $6.3 million for the Contras but only $3.3 million reached them — a shockingly low 52% program expense rate.
Richard Secord and Albert Hakim marked up their arms shipments to the Contras by as much as 300%, making enormous personal profits from the covert operation.
Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North, tapped to run the entire covert Contra support operation, had no prior experience in covert operations whatsoever — he was learning as he went.
