473. Exposing Financial Security Theater w/ Jason Stapleton
In today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc Clair is joined by Jason Stapleton of "Wealth, Power and Influence" to discuss his upcoming book "Nomadic Wealth!" Jason and Marc discuss why it's essential for those who believe in the ideas of liberty to not only understand the philosophy but to live it by creating their own wealth and in turn, freedom. They discuss why the "traditional" methods of "working and saving" until retirement is nothing more than "financial security theater", and what steps individuals can take to regain control over their own wealth, their own future, and their own lives.

472. Why It's Time to End Third Parties w/ Theodore Quinoa
In today's flagship Lions of Liberty podcast, Marc is joined once again by the illustrious "Theodore Quinoa" of Crowd Funded Government to discuss his latest mission in the cause of liberty: to end third parties all together. Theodore lays out a case for why third party movements are not only ineffective but actually hinders the cause of liberty for all. Theodore responds to certain objections he'll receive on this, particularly from those who have already tried to create change inside the "two party system" only to be faced with seemingly insurmountable roadblocks to actually creating a more free society. Is it really time to end third parties for the cause of liberty, as Theodore suggests? Tune in and hear his bold plan to bring liberty directly into the two-party system.

FF 237 - The Bureau of Prisons is Out of Control with Lynn Espejo
On today's episode of Felony Friday John welcomes Lynn Espejo back to the show. Lynn previously appeared on Episode 110 to talk about the rampant prosecutorial misconduct in her case. Her appearance was prior to reporting to serve her prison time. She's on the show today to share her experience in the federal prison system.
Lynn was convicted on February 8, 2017, after an eight-day jury trial, and was sentenced to 45-months in federal prison, of which she served 27 months, before being released to home confinement during COVID-19.
During her incarceration, Lynn's blog, Inside-The-Walls, started out as a way for her to vent her frustration at being indicted and convicted for a crime she did not commit, and what she saw as a broken criminal justice system. However, it soon became a voice against the corruption, fraud, and violation of inmate rights she witnessed while incarcerated at Federal Prison Camp Bryan located in Bryan, Texas. Many times, Lynn was subjected to retaliation by BOP staff for continuing to blog while incarcerated.

On today's episode of Felony Friday Rufus Rochell and Amy Povah join John. Rufus Rochell walked out of FCI Coleman on April 24th of this year. The BOP gave him home confinement, so he is still serving the remainder of his absurd sentence.

FF 230 - #FreeRoss with Lyn Ulbricht
Today's episode of Felony Friday with Lyn Ulbricht was co-produced by Lions of Liberty Pride member Tyler Colford. At Lions of Liberty we invite our Nittany and above Lions Pride members to assist with producing an episode of one of our shows. You can hear more about Tyler below.
Lyn Ulbricht returns to Felony Friday for a second time. She was previously on the show back on episode 137. Lyn is a warrior for criminal justice reform and of course she advocates fiercely for the release of her son Ross Ulbricht. Ross was the creator of Silk Road and is serving a life sentence for the non-violent crime of creating a website. Silk road was a place where individuals could freely buy and sell goods using bitcoin. The site did not allow child pornography or stolen goods to be sold and was mostly used for marijuana transactions. The trial was filled with prosecutorial corruption and suppression of evidence. The judge in the case, who is no longer on the bench, gave Ross an incredibly harsh sentence that had no precedence.
In this episode we talk about how faith has helped Lyn and Ross to navigate this crisis is their lives. And how Ross has been able to find peace, while incarcerated, through gratitude and by forgiving those those who served him with immense injustice. Please visit FreeRoss.org to sign the petition and to donate to his legal defense.
Tyler Colford's, aka Krypto Man, song #FreeRoss which is played during the episode after Lyn's interview is available on Spotify and for purchase on Amazon at this link.

FF 228 - The Strength of Family - Felix Walls is Free After 26 Years
On today's show John has two guests, Felix and Allegra Walls. Felix just got out of prison after serving 26 years for Conspiracy to Possess with Intent to Distribute; Distribute Cocaine and Conspiracy to Launder Monetary Instruments, for which he was originally sentenced to 30 years.
His daughter, Allegra, was instrumental in getting him home by petitioning the court for his compassion release.
Felix's case is absolutely nuts. You'll probably have to listen twice to understand what happened. He was originally sentenced to 30 years in 1994, he won his appeal, but ended up getting sentenced to life in 2003 on the same case!
