Radio Free Pizza

Since Friday, we’ve been dumbfounded to have learned that “the Lebanese Republic” is the formal name for the government of Lebanon , after it and the State of Israel signed a “framework agreement” on 26 June 2026 in Washington, D.C. Not for the immediate or unconditional withdrawal of Israel Defense Forces from their occupation in Lebanon, but for an eventual end to the state of war that has exist...

Two years ago, in one of those Radio Free Pizza dispatches that we imagine certain readers either cherish or regret having survived, we considered the coronavirus pandemic not merely as a public-health emergency, but as a crisis of narrative authority. The question, as we understood it then, was not only whether the official story had been true, or whether the response had been justified, or wheth...

With the U.S.-Israeli war on the Islamic Republic of Iran entering its eighth week, and a U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz aimed at starving Iran of its oil income now entering its third, the logic of economic strangulation has once again moved to the center of American foreign policy. Of course, some would say it never left—particularly those in the Republic of Cuba, which has been the targe...

Three weeks ago, rumors began circulating that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had been killed in his country’s escalating war with the Islamic Republic of Iran after his early-March video address appeared to show him with six fingers on his right hand . Various “proof-of-life” videos followed purporting to show him alive, but gave us a further cascade of alleged anomalies: coffee foam t...

Dear Radio Free Pizza gourmets, Wild year so far, huh? Sorry I’ve been out of touch: for many months now I’ve been mainly focused on trading options contracts to recover all the money I wish I’d spent on precious metals. But, I’m at least still keeping up a minimum of one post per month, even if none of them are the deep-dish dispatches that had previously been my signature. While the latest relea...

As you might have heard, earlier this week Officer Jonathan Ross of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot and killed 37-year-old U.S. citizen (and mother of three ) Renee Nicole Good between East 33rd and East 34th Streets on Portland Avenue in Central Minneapolis. Good’s death has since inflamed national controversy, sparked widespread protests, and made headlines across the country...

Here we go again: this weekend, the United States violated the territory of a sovereign nation for the purpose of regime change , with airstrikes on Venezuelan military targets and critical urban infrastructure cutting electricity across the Venezuelan capital of Caracas before U.S. special forces kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. U.S. President Donald Trump announced the...

In the past month, the Somali community of Minnesota—the largest outside Africa—has faced heightened tension after President Donald Trump launched repeated attacks against Somali immigrants, threatened to revoke their legal protections, and supported upcoming immigration enforcement actions targeting the community. Conservatives like President Trump have used isolated fraud cases to malign Somalis...

Dear Radio Free Pizza gourmets, Here we go again: another chapter of the oblique autobiography I’ve been writing as “journals”—which some critics might just call filler, since the typical content I produced in my first couple of years has been largely absent for the majority of 2025. The first charted the path from my early Mexico years through early trips, deep friendships, a 2018 seizure and com...

A little more than two weeks ago, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado—Venezuela’s leading opposition figure and mentor to the opposition candidate Edmundo González defeated in the 2024 election—as a stalwart champion of democratic principles against authoritarianism. Of course, that characterization flies in the face of her participation in a 20...

Since Bitcoin’s launch in 2009, cryptocurrency has slowly reshaped the contours of money and finance—blurring the lines between technology and currency, decentralization and control, speculation and strategy. That could be by design: longtime Radio Free Pizza gourmets may recall our Bitcoin Pizza Day bulletin in May of last year, in which we explored the recurring theory that Bitcoin may have been...

Dear Radio Free Pizza gourmets, This summer, yours truly took a road trip from Minneapolis to Chicago for the Great Unity Convention of the Center for Political Innovation (CPI) on 12 July 2025 to show my support for the organization, its opposition to globalism and imperialism, and its advocacy for domestic and international peace. I didn’t speak onstage, but I waved an American flag, confident t...

On Friday, President Donald Trump wrote a Truth Social post to fire Erika McEntarfer, head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), after a jobs report showed sharply weaker employment growth and large downward revisions for May and June: the July report showed only 73,000 new jobs and a rise in unemployment to 4.2%. May and June job gains were revised down by a combined 258,000— the largest non-p...

You’ve probably heard already, but the mounting tensions between Iran and Israel have erupted into unrestrained war: on 13 June 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, striking key Iranian nuclear and military sites, including Natanz and Tehran’s District 18, in an effort to halt what Prime Minister Netanyahu called Iran’s imminent nuclear threat. The campaign killed over 220 people, includin...

Dear Radio Free Pizza gourmets, I’m writing this from a place where the streets still remember my footsteps: the slow ones of childhood, the hurried ones of adolescence, and now these more thoughtful steps of return—streets I remember all too well. Yes, after the Mexican saga that I detailed in my March journal —confronting the emotional and financial fallout of a failed real estate investment—and...

Earlier this year , we analyzed the geopolitical and economic developments stemming from the Trump Administration’s tariff policies and foreign strategy, suggesting that while these may initially seem divisive, they may inadvertently push toward deeper integration into a North American Union. With Chinese influence in Panama increasing through infrastructure investments, U.S. Secretary of State Ma...

Many worry about an oncoming World War III: and though we’ve been trying to keep our cool, you know that includes us, if you read between the lines of our last bulletin . But it’s not just Americans like us who have reason to worry that their government is positioning itself for war. Europeans, too, have reason for concern . Naturally they focus on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which—when we he...

Last year, we highlighted tensions between the Islamic Republic of Iran, the State of Israel, and the United States of America as they escalated through a series of attacks, intelligence accusations, and assassination plots. Iran launched Operation True Promise in April after Israel bombed its Damascus embassy, while U.S. intelligence increasingly framed Iran as a national security threat followin...

Dear Radio Free Pizza gourmets, As you might have noticed, it’s been about a month and a half since I’ve delivered a dispatch, bulletin, or spectacle. Maybe you've started to wonder what happened to me. To make it up to you for my absence, I’ve decided to tell you a little of what’s happened to me, in an autobiographical format that doesn't lean too much on the royal “we” and which instead keeps i...

Here Zach interviews Daniel Natal —author of Actionable Ethics (2022) and host of the now-on-hiatus The Daniel Natal Show , on which Zach appeared last year —about the historical and contemporary implications of the international bond market for geopolitics. Daniel first explains (at ~2:45) the historical development of the international bond market and how the current Anglo-American financial sys...

Last week’s bulletin covered tariffs that the Trump Administration imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China, and proposed that such could inadvertently act as a catalyst for establishing the North American Union between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, even as it seems to push countries further apart initially. Of course, just a day later , President Trump delayed his 25% tariff on imports from Canada an...

Show Notes 🎧 In This Episode: Golden Monarch reveals how Bitcoin and cryptocurrency have evolved from a decentralized dream into a system manipulated by Wall Street, intelligence agencies, and global power players. ✨ Featured Guest: Golden Monarch : Twitter: https://x.com/Golden__Monarch Substack: Golden Monarch News 🎧 Main Topic(s): How cryptocurrency has become a tool for financial control ra...

Following last month’s three-part exploration of the nascent North American Union, the first of this month saw developments that might throw a wrench in that agenda: the introduction of President Trump’s long-planned tariffs, sparking fears of a global trade war. His 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico—dropping to 10% for Canadian energy resources—and 10% on China are harsher and broader...

Last Wednesday’s bulletin continued our exploration from last Sunday of the resurgent North American Union conspiracy theory, sparked by President-elect Donald Trump’s comments over the past few months about expanding U.S. territory to include Canada, Greenland, and Panama. Such comments connect interestingly to a great deal of evidence supporting the aforementioned conspiracy theories, in reverse...
