Prager University: Who Are the Racists: Conservatives or Liberals*?
*"Liberals" mentioned in this video is in the American sense. In Europe we would talk of socialists, leftists, social-democrats or of the center-left.

Stefan Molyneux: Canadian Terror Attacks: What You Need to Know!
I think Stefan Molyneux side steps much to fast in this show, - shifting his focus far too quickly to a discussion on the history of Christianity (and religion in general) in stead of focusing on the issue of Islam and Islamism.
I am not really sure it is helpful to compare the history of Islam to the history of Christianity - nearly as much as it would be helpful to inquire deeper into the specific nature of Islam - both historically and today. Then the focus and theme would be "a clash of values", which would be much more to the point.
Also I dislike the proportionality remarks - about who has killed how many on each "side", which is irrelevant and also collectivist.
Finally the talk about "imperialism" is at best over-simplifying and in the case of Canada it is not relevant at all.
- And what kind of empire do the US have in the Middle East, where there is absolutely no room for american values to be promoted (for instance there is no room for Christianity)? So we have an empire without the promotion of american values, without taxation and without the institutions of the so called empire?
If Molyneux likes to dwell on historical comparisons why does he not try and compare the empires of Great Britain, Rome, Spain, Egypt or Greece with the so-called american ditto?
The US has a military and economic hegemony in the world which an entirely different and much more limited phenomenon.

Atlas Society: Using Storytelling to Advance Liberty
Atlas Society introduction: "When Ayn Rand decided to write the definitive statement on her philosophy, she could have used fact-based non-fiction; instead she embraced storytelling. The result of this decision was Atlas Shrugged, which brought Objectivism to the masses in a way policy papers and non-fiction never could have. Moving Picture Institute filmmakers have used this same tactic to change laws, change the culture, win Emmy Awards, break Guinness world records, and appear on the Academy Awards shortlist. Join MPI for an exciting session to learn how opponents of liberty are using storytelling to advance their agenda—and how we can fight back.
Adam Guillette is the Director of Development and Outreach for the Moving Picture Institute. Previously he served as State Director of Americans for Prosperity-Florida and as Distinguished Faculty Member for the Leadership Institute."

The Law: by Frederic Bastiat (published in 1850)
"The Law, first published as a pamphlet in June, 1850, is already more than a hundred years old. And because its truths are eternal, it will still be read when another century has passed. "
