Joseph M Lenard speaking about “ChristiTutionalist Politics 2”

Part 2 of Series so far in conjunction with ChristiTutionalist TM Politics podcast providing historical context of America's Judeo/Christian Foundations based upon Biblical Community (Free Will, Charity, etc.) vs Worldly Communism (Force, Theft, etc.) as was already tried on our Soil back during the Bradford Colony Mayflower Communal Compact and they almost all starved to death. Bradford and the Colony then pivoted to Biblical FREE WILL (Freedom) and Personal/Individual Responsibilities and Rights over Collectivist one's (that fails to take in account Human Nature and some desires to do least possible, if not avoid shirking any responsibility at all, and eventually more in Cart than can pull the Cart and ATLAS SHRUGS); Private Property ownership, again over Collectivist concept which when no-one owns no-one has direct pride and taking actual ownership of the responsibilities for; etc.; and as they say THE REST IS HISTORY as our Founders learned from that initial Failure.

Ben Skull speaking about “Wall Street Mafia”

Wall Street Mafia In the high-stakes world of Wall Street, where billions move in the blink of an eye, the line between business and crime disappears. Wall Street Mafia is a true story based on a 26-year career in the stock market, exposing the secret underworld where brokers, gangsters, and bikers all had their cut of the action. From the trading floors of New York to backroom deals with organized crime, the book pulls back the curtain on how the market really worked—money laundering, pump-and-dump schemes, and alliances with the Russian mob, the Hells Angels, and powerful financial players who believed they were untouchable. The author lived it all—fast cars, drugs, corruption, and the constant risk of prison or worse. But Wall Street Mafia isn’t just a story about greed and excess. It’s about survival in a world where loyalty could turn to betrayal overnight, and where one wrong move could cost you everything. More insane than fiction, this memoir is the real Wolf of Wall Street.
