We are back with the return of Johnny Profita, the voice, and soul of so-called fiction, of Peddling Fiction as we get into the summer action film, “Point Break”.
To be clear, this is the one with Gary Busey, Keanu Reeves, and Patrick Swayze in a nonstop action thriller about an FBI agent lured by the rush when he goes undercover to unmask a band of surfers who seek a rush wherever it takes them, even to robbing banks.
This one will be 100% pure adrenaline.

Google Description for the film
Point Break
After a string of bizarre bank robberies in Southern California, with the crooks donning masks of various former presidents, a federal agent, Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), infiltrates the suspected gang. But this is no ordinary group of robbers. They’re surfers — led by the charismatic Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) — who are addicted to the rush of thievery. But when Utah falls in love with a female surfer, Tyler (Lori Petty), who is close to the gang, it complicates his sense of duty.

Our Guest:
The Voice and Soul of So-Called Fiction
Johnny “The Gentile” Profita opines on politics, current events, and libertarian philosophy. He is a lying politician’s worst nightmare, a Rothbardian radical, the destroyer of Keynesian economic fallacies, the inoculator of propaganda, and breaker of ideological chains.
Free your mind from State control. True liberty is just one click away.
Since we recorded, I have binged 5 or 6 of his recent episodes, and not only does he talk us up a bunch – he’s entertaining and educational as hell. Check it out, you’ll be glad you did.
For the time being, you can also follow his show on Facebook:

During our Point Break episode, we made a list of future movies to do with him that feature Arnold Schwarzenegger, such as “True Lies” and “Kindergarten Cop”.
Here is his prior appearance that he made for Cinco de Mayo as we reviewed “Desperado”:

Show Notes:
We mentioned a few things related to banking, inflation, social security and more…for the most part, just check out Johnny’s podcast Peddling Fiction to find more of his take on those topics.
Here is a Murray Rothbard lecture about fractional reserve banking and how each of the natural checks against malfeasance have been systematically removed by the “experts”:
Here is a short read on the topic of “What Has Government Done to Our Money?”:
I also caught a recent episode of the Tom Woods Show, guest-hosted by Stephan Kinsella (Tom is recovering from illness) that got into these topics and what an individual might do to protect themselves from the coming consequences:
Ben Harp: “You know nothing. In fact, you know less than nothing. If you knew that you knew nothing, then that would be something, but you don’t.”
“If you want the ultimate, you’ve got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It’s not tragic to die doing what you love.” – Bodhi
“It’s basic dog psychology, if you scare them and get them peeing down their leg, they submit. But if you project weakness, that promotes violence, and that’s how people get hurt. Peace, through superior firepower.” – Bodhi
“I know it’s hard for you, Johnny. I know you want me so bad it’s like acid in your mouth. But not this time.” – Bodhi
“This was never about money for us! It was about us against the system, that system that kills the human spirit. We stand for something. To those dead souls inching along the freeways in their metal coffins, we show them that the human spirit is still alive.” – Bodhi
The place where you lose yourself is the place where you find yourself:
“Thrill-seeking adrenaline addicts have always fascinated me. The idea seems to be that it’s not until you risk your humanness that you feel most human. Not until you risk all awareness do you gain awareness.” — Kathryn Bigelow (Director)

Thank you for joining us on this episode of the Actual Anarchy Podcast!
The Actual Anarchy Podcast is all about Maximum Freedom.
Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. If it’s voluntary, we’re cool with it. If it’s not, then it violated the Non-Aggression Principle and Property Rights – the core tenants of Libertarian Theory – and hence – human freedom.
We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.
We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film.
The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.
We publish new episodes on Sunday just in time for your Monday commute; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics).
For our show where we talk about movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective, we often watch them on our various devices via Netflix, Amazon Prime or on VUDU (which lets you redeem UV content as well). The VUDU one is nice because once it is in there, you know it will still be there a few months later:
ABOUT
Actual Anarchy, an anarchy unlike what the average idiot thinks it would be. Anarchy means no rulers, not no rules. The non-aggression principle and a respect of property rights are what makes it go.
We host a podcast where we take pop culture movies and showcase moments or scenes or themes throughout that are literally actual examples of anarchy.
Any place, around the world, there are always examples of Actual Anarchy all about you. Sometimes you just have to sit back and take a look. It’s easy once they’ve been pointed out a few times.
Actual Anarchy is real-world examples of anarchy in action.
Movies, Shows, Books, News, etc… we host all sorts of content on the site from a bevy of writers enthusiastic for one goal: human freedom
