Announcement: April LIVE Event

Special Announcement.

Event: Barnes Birthday Bash

Where: Chattanooga, Tennessee

When: Weekend of April 21, 2023

What: A special event, from 5 to 10 p.m., as the only, invited guests on a Mark Twain era Tennessee Riverboat, with catered dinner served, a scenic river cruise, live entertainment, a live special edition Hush Hush show, special guests, and a personal meet-up with Viva, I, special guests, and fellow members of the board.

Fundraiser: All net proceeds go to the Free America Law Center. Your ticket helps fund the three efforts FALC will be launching -- Political Freedom, Food Freedom, and Medical Freedom. In all three areas, deserving clients cannot afford representation and legal advocacy, the cases concern matters of core freedoms of everyday Americans, the impact of the cases is global and public, and the legal profession's own political parochialism leads them to not adequately or effectively represent these causes and individuals, from the Covington Boys to Kyle Rittenhouse, from the vaccine injured to the customers of small, independent farmers. Your support will make that representation possible, and this will be the inaugural fundraiser for FALC. Tickets to the event will be $350 per ticket, still less expensive than the ordinary fundraiser, and providing a lot more value than the typical fundraiser.

Tickets: A link will be sent to subscribers of the Board later this week. We have availability for 250 tickets for the special event.

Planned Appearances

Art of the Day: A dinner in the vineyards. At the invite of a Burgundy wine maker, I once enjoyed a luscious dinner amidst the landscape dressed with grape vines, as we dined from locally made produce, the fresh baked bread of the local baker, the requisite mustard from Dijon and cheese from neighboring dairy farmers, accompanied by fresh fruit and vegetables from his neighbors’ gardens, and finished with wine made from the grapes of the vineyard itself, aged more than a decade in the French Oak barrels of the winery's own cellars. A most memorable way to dine.

Book Recommendation: Senator Nye: the forgotten Republican anti-war tradition.

Wisdom of the Day: “That in nearly every war it is the people who bear the burdens and that it is not the people who cause wars bringing them no advantage, but that they are caused by fear and jealousy coupled with the purpose of men and interests who expect to profit by them." Senator Gerald Nye.

Planned Appearances

Art of the Day: My dream office. A marriage of old English style study with futuristic vision enveloped by nature itself – the hard wood floors, old leathery chairs, delicate rugs, ovacular egg-shaped open-air desk, classic texts carefully bound in rising bookcases, interrupted by open windows embracing the sky, trees, and stars surrounding us, embedding the work-space into God’s creation, where the archives of nature map the eternal truths onto the soul mirrored in the many texts within and the mind’s inner narratives of the workspace itself.

Book Recommendation: Princes of the Yen by Richard Werner reveals how industrial policy rescued post-war Japan and central bank financialization destroyed it.

Wisdom of the Day: “Banks can create money out of nothing.” Richard Werner.

The Barnes Brief: Friday, April 25, 2025

Planned Appearances

Art of the Day: Old books, the kind you can find undervalued at estate sales, or hidden away in new England antiquarian book stores (as I once found an original of Uncle Tom’s Cabin), or dusted deep in the cellars of great libraries. I began collecting as a kid, having to sell early when the family hit tough financial times later on, but my fondness for old books never left. The rich leather binding, the craftsmanship of the book binders of old, the delicate care of a bookstore owner or devoted librarian, and the buried truths within these texts penned and published from a different time and place, where the written word mattered, whispering to us truths too occasionally forsaught or forgot. 

Book Recommendation: War Is a Racket. The infamous text of General Smedley Butler representing the rightful protest against the war machine after witnessing the horrors of World War 1.

Wisdom of the Day: “War is but a matter of profit for the few.” Senator Gerald Nye.
