6:30
to 9:30 pm Optional Special Pre-Summit Debate “Foreclosure-Gate… The largest Bank
Robbery in Human History, How it was Done, Who/What did it & Surviving the Greatest Depression” will be open to paid attendees and non-attendees of the Freedom Summit alike. The talk will begin with a brief history regarding the principal
causes of rising health care costs and decreasing access to health
care, beginning with changes in the tax code and the McCarran-Ferguson
Act dating back to the 1940s. It will then discuss how “Obamacare”
actually takes us from a dysfunctional health care system to a
non-functional health care system. Efforts underway to repeal or
eliminate Obamacare will be reviewed. Finally, short-term solutions
that small businesses can employ in an effort to mitigate some of the
more egregious effects Obamacare will have on their business will be
mentioned. BIO: Received MD from New York Medical College; in private

am pessimistic about the survival of the present political apparatus
formally known as the United States of America. It is crumbling by
every measure and unsustainable on its present course. I offer this as
a cautionary tale written before the emerging Black Swan event. Most
of these narratives are written after the devastation has occurred. I
will talk about the curious parallels between the USA and the USSR in
the 20th century and why our end will come just as rapidly and just as
badly as it did for the USSR in 1989. I will go on to offer some
recommendations to prepare for the inevitable. So often liberty activists get cast role of solving the problems
thrown at us by others - "who will build the roads?" - Stefan
Molyneux of Freedomain Radio will show you how to turn this around, and get
people to start answering their own questions, rather than just throwing up
endless objections... I have been fascinated by philosophy - particularly moral theories -
since my mid-teens. I left my career as a software entrepreneur and
executive to pursue philosophy full time through my work here at
Freedomain Radio. I have written a number of novels as well as many free
books on philosophy. In my podcasts and videos, I try to avoid opinions, and instead talk
about proof and rationality. If the theories I propose are reasonable,
and are supported by evidence, well and good, we have both learned
something. If not, listeners such as you are quick to point out errors,
which I receive with gratitude. This approach is fundamentally different
from most "talk shows." I am a rigorous philosopher, and I will always
bow to reason and evidence. The only freedom is freedom from illusion... Location
