Daily Clout Sits Down with Carla Gericke to Chat About NH’s Unique Concentration Strategy for Libertarians
written by Carla Gericke
Honored to join Melissa Blasek for this incredible discussion. Melissa starts with “details about a recent legislative battle to kill a bad bill- for the second time! She explains how it was easier to kill this time because of the doubling and tripling of efforts from all grassroots groups working together. She is joined by Carla Gericke of the Free State Project to discuss the concentration of libertarian power in New Hampshire to keep New Hampshire the true Live Free or Die state.”
This week on Manch Talk, your host Carla Gericke is joined by the Free State Project’s Executive Director, Eric Brakey. This former three-term Maine Senator recently moved to New Hampshire, and he updates us on the upcoming Liberty Forum taking place at the end of the month.

This one was a disaster, since the video cut out because I was in the woods (and I couldn’t see the screen). After my walk, I drove to another spot, but there was a dude in a truck sitting there, and it seemed awfully idiotic to jump out with a selfie stick to yell to myself on the interwebs. So I just came home and chalked Day 99 up to, “I did it, but not well.” Sometimes, that’s just life.

Also, instead of being annoyed with myself, I am choosing to focus on the fact that I got a pretty good shot of a pair of birds that I couldn’t identify–a weird thing about being an immigrant is having to learn all the fauna and flora again–but my friends on the Internet immediately provided the answer, so herewith… I give you… the Common Merganser…

Day 96 of My Living Xperiment:

It's Sunday so in today's "Series of Self," our word to explore is SELF-REGULATION.
Also, in a never-before-seen attempt, I will try to pronounce the word EUDAIMONIA.
But 1st, things I grateful for… How about you? https://t.co/TheKJZeUEA
Day 95 of My Living Xperiment: Checking some boxes! https://t.co/APpPyxOrnl

I forgot my joke:
Knock, knock?
Who’s there?
Marmite.
Marmite who?
Ma might but Pa won’t.
Day 94 of My Living Xperiment: Stressing about being on time for a 420 Prattle seems counterproductive, so does "Weaponizing Brain Science," and more! https://t.co/SYSme7UGnI

See Dr. Giordano’s bio per GROK down below. But also, this guy, wow, the neural skills and script here is AMAZING. I believe his job is to, yes, update, but also spread paranoia. The government spreads fear. The intelligence agencies spread paranoia on top. NOW they’re cooking with real mind control tactics! Definitely worth a watch, but also, be mindful of what his role is: An expert that helps you be more scared by controlling your mind. Be aware!
Dr. James Giordano is a prominent figure in neuroscience, neuroethics, and biosecurity, with extensive ties to U.S. military and intelligence communities, making him a valuable asset in those domains. He is a professor of neurology and biochemistry at Georgetown University Medical Center, where he also serves as Chief of the Neuroethics Studies Program. His work focuses on the intersection of brain science, technology, and national security, particularly how neurotechnology can be applied in military and intelligence contexts.
Giordano’s affiliations with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and related entities are significant. He has served as a Senior Science Advisory Fellow to the Strategic Multilayer Assessment (SMA) Branch of the Joint Staff at the Pentagon, providing expertise on emerging technologies and their implications for defense. He has also been a member of the Neuroethics, Legal, and Social Issues Advisory Panel for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), an agency known for pioneering cutting-edge technologies for military use. Additionally, he was the Donovan Group Senior Fellow for Biowarfare and Biosecurity at U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), indicating his involvement in high-level strategic discussions about biological and neurological threats.
His role as an intelligence asset likely stems from his deep knowledge of neurotechnology’s dual-use potential—its capacity to both enhance human performance and serve as a weapon. Giordano has publicly discussed the development of brain-computer interfaces, neuronanorobotics, and directed-energy weapons, often framing them as tools for surveillance, cognitive enhancement, or even manipulation of neural circuits. For example, he has explored how these technologies could be used to monitor or influence individuals remotely, a capability of clear interest to intelligence operations. His presentations, such as those hosted by the Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership at the U.S. Naval Academy, highlight military applications like warfighter performance augmentation and the ethical dilemmas they pose.
Giordano’s credibility is bolstered by his extensive publication record—over 350 peer-reviewed papers, 9 books, and numerous government reports—covering neuroscience, ethics, and biosecurity. His book Neurotechnology in National Security and Defense: Practical Considerations, Neuroethical Concerns (2014) is considered a foundational text on the subject. He also directs the Institute for Biodefense Research, a federally funded think tank in Washington, D.C., focused on emerging biotechnological threats, further aligning his work with national security priorities.
While there’s no direct evidence in open sources labeling him as a formal “intelligence operative,” his advisory roles and expertise suggest he functions as a key intellectual asset, bridging scientific innovation with strategic applications for agencies like DARPA, the Pentagon, and USSOCOM. His insights into neurocognitive science and its weaponization potential—coupled with his access to classified discussions—position him as a critical resource for shaping U.S. intelligence and defense strategies in an era where the brain is increasingly seen as a battlespace. Posts on X and other platforms have speculated about his involvement in mind-control technologies, but these claims often exaggerate or misinterpret his public statements, which focus on possibilities rather than confirmed deployments. His value lies in his ability to anticipate and analyze, not necessarily in operational execution.
