Exposing organized crime’s control of the government and media from a principled voluntaryist/libertarian perspective.

Semi-Annual Report – May 2019

Greetings friends of the Art of Liberty Foundation,

Liberty is being censored! The first article below details how the Liberty movement is under attack through
massive censorship where voluntaryists, libertarians, whistleblowers, truth tellers and the alternative media
are being wiped off the dominant social media platforms including: YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Apple iTunes
(podcasts & news), Stitcher, Vimeo, Instagram, and spotify (podcasts). This is in addition to evidence of CIA-
funded Google being caught repeatedly manipulating search results and steering “news” results to a small
number of media companies (CNN, New York Times, and Washington Post alone are 23% of Google promoted
stories) who appear to be operating as a cartel in a coordinated effort to control human perception.
What This Means for the Liberty Movement
The DARPA Internet simply can’t be trusted and social media especially can’t be relied on as a primary means
of outreach. I’m not suggesting that Liberty organizations take down their websites since, for now, people can
still get to individual sites if someone has the link BUT we need to be aware that we are being algorithmically
censored on Google/YouTube and being kicked off, shadow-banned, and demonetized off the dominant social
media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Facebook deleted our page for Understanding Our
Slavery in May 2018 and even if you haven’t been deleted off completely then realize if you are posting
information that exposes organized crime’s fake elections, the illegitimacy of “government”, the harmful
effects of their mandatory mercury and aluminum-laced vaccines, trillions missing from the Pentagon, or other
“government” criminality then those posts and tweets are likely being shown only to people you communicate
with on a regular basis while being hidden from the overwhelming majority of people with whom you are
connected. There is evidence that many of these platforms were funded with essentially unlimited capital to
buy up and consolidate their competition in a program designed to control perception on a global scale.
Introducing the Art of Liberty Foundation’s Pre-State Project – Widely Expose the Organized Crime System
with mass distribution of Uncensorable Hard Copy Books & Flash Drives in One US State: New Hampshire
We saw this coming, wrote about it publicly, were proven correct and are
introducing The Pre-State Project a cost-effective plan to get around the
censorship of the internet & social media with mass distribution of hard copy
“picture books” and inexpensive flash drives that both expose the illegitimacy &
criminality of “government” and provide the healthy alternatives of voluntaryism,
libertarianism, and real freedom. Goal: Achieve the “100th Monkey Effect” in a
single US State, New Hampshire, where the planet’s densest percentage of
libertarians, “Meet-Ups” and pro-liberty organizations can absorb new
voluntaryists and libertarians and put them to work in effective activism.
Understanding Our Slavery – An Update

Why a Hard Copy “Picture Book” & Flash
Drives?
1. If you want someone to spend time
with important information then
paper is the most inviting, easy on
the eyes, and impossible to delete.
2. The visualizations, infographics,
historical photos, and memes
expand the amount of people who
will engage with any book from an
estimated 10-15% to 35-45%+ of
those who come across it.
3. The visual repetition of the 20+
control techniques expose the
historical pattern/”playbook” of
tyranny and visualizations and
media ownership charts of the
political/media control structure
makes what was hidden now visible.
4. The Flash Drives back up the thesis
of the book with both evidence of
government & media criminality
and the peaceful alternative of
voluntaryism/libertarianism with
books in PDF, short videos,
podcasts, and documentaries for a
variety of learning preferences.
I am pleased to report that
after two years, three
revisions, and testing at
over a half-dozen events,
our book Understanding
Our Slavery is, almost, ready
for wide-spread
distribution.
The book was designed
from inception for wide-scale distribution using images, executive
summaries and memes to make the ideas of liberty accessible to
the greatest number of people including those who don’t have
time for OR would never read a text-only book. In February we
published a “Rebranded and Expanded” edition with a new cover,
seven new “one-pagers” and expanded “solutions” section and it
has been a grand-slam success! We just sold out of the 3rd print
run, the book has now been downloaded or read on-line over
6,000 times, and website visitors (unique IPs) have more than
tripled while pageviews have more than quadrupled over the same
period last year. This month alone I have done, scheduled or am in
process of scheduling over a half-dozen interviews. Equally as
interesting is that on the video or publication platforms where you
can read the book or watch my Anarchapulco presentation or
interviews where the reader or viewer can rate “Thumbs Up” or
“Thumbs Down” (Scribd, YouTube, D.Tube, Bitchute, etc.) we have
a 99.5% “Thumbs Up” on over 300+ reviews. In fact, we only have
two “Thumbs Down” across all platforms.

Additionally, I have now spoken or exhibited at over seven events and I have not been challenged seriously on the
facts presented or the overall validity of the book’s premise! While I have had some vague “conspiracy theory”
type comments, the overall reception has been overwhelmingly positive and in dozens of discussions at both
libertarian and non-libertarian events the most common comment is “Yes.. I/we/everyone already know(s) the
government is run by organized crime!”. Equally as interesting is that even when speaking with statists, minarchists
and Constitutionalists that still believe in the legitimacy of “government” the overwhelming majority concede that
the existing “government” has been hijacked/taken over by an organized crime element (frequently referred to as
the amorphous and undescriptive “Deep State”) that is looting the country and tax payers and forcing us into
unnecessary wars and military/homeland security spending. The population is ripe for change!

With this report we are officially launching our fundraising campaign to create a think tank exposing organized
crime’s control of the government and media from a principled voluntaryist libertarian perspective and finish a
companion “picture book” for Understanding Our Slavery that will be entitled: Voluntaryism – How Real Freedom
Leads to Harmony and Prosperity for All, which will explain how the free market delivers all the legitimate, non-
redistributive services of monopoly government without the violence, extortion, mandatory indoctrination, and
fraud of the State. If you want to help “Strike the Root” then check out the last page of this report for details.

The alternative media saw three major waves of censorship in 2018 and is experiencing the 4th wave as I write
this update. The first wave was in April & May and wasn’t covered by the major media. Call it the “beta test”.
The Art of Liberty Foundation had our Facebook page for Understanding Our Slavery deleted, HiImpactFlix, a
voluntaryist YouTuber with 500,000 subscribers and 100M video views, and Clarity of Signal both had their
YouTube Channels taken down, and TyrannyUnmasked was banned by both Facebook and Instagram in
addition to an undetermined number of others. The 2nd wave was in early August when apparent controlled
opposition gatekeeper Alex Jones was made the MainStreamMedia “posterboy” for the ability to take down
alternative news sites across multiple platforms including YouTube, Twitter, Vimeo, Facebook, Sticher, Apple,
Spotify and LinkedIn. I believe the focus on Alex Jones was designed to give the policy of banning free speech
approval from the left that doesn’t like Alex Jones while simultaneously deceiving the less thoughtful
members of the right that Alex Jones is an authentic voice in an attempt to give him some “street-cred”. The
evidence? You didn’t think the MSM propaganda system was really going to highlight the authentic,
thoughtful, principled, scholarly opposition to their organized crime system did you?
Both waves of censorship set the stage for the big take-down of the alternative media in October right before
the rigged elections and the beta-test of selective gun confiscation in Maryland under “Red-Flag Laws” and the
federal ban on bump stocks.
In October, Facebook alone took down 559 “pages” and 251
individual accounts targeting truth tellers, voluntaryists,
libertarians, and the developing alternative media. The Free
Thought Project had its Facebook page with 2 million followers
taken down, its Twitter account taken down and received a strike
on its YouTube channel in the same day essentially proving our
thesis that organized crime is engaged in a coordinated “control
of perception” program across multiple, ostensibly independent,
social media companies operating as a cartel.
In January we participated in the Common Ground Media Summit in Houston, organized by Derrick Broze of
the Conscious Resistance and the Free Thought Project’s Jason Bassler which brought together 25+ alternative
media journalists and content creators with another 25+ attending via videoconference to discuss how to get
around the censorship. I was able to make a presentation to the entire assembly sharing my research on
organized crime’s “control of perception” program and our belief that mass distribution of truth material on
flash drives (The Liberator!) is the way to go. The 4th wave of censorship is going on now with Louis Farrakhan,
Milo Yiannopoulos, and Alex Jones being the poster children while truth reporter and vaccine researcher Jon
Rappoport just had his blog taken down by Wordpress among others.

The Free State Project’s Liberty Forum – Manchester, New Hampshire, February 8th-11th
I kicked off the Art of Liberty’s 2019 book tour and educational campaign at the Free State Project’s Liberty
Forum conference in Manchester, New Hampshire. The
conference brought together over 300 activists, liberty
organizations, and media from around the state and nation.
The Free State Project has organized over 24,000+ libertarians
and voluntaryists who have pledged to move to New
Hampshire within 5 years of the group hitting 20,000 signers
and “exert their fullest practical effort toward the creation of a
society in which the maximum role of civil government is the
protection of individuals life, liberty, and property.“ The FSP hit
20,000 in 2016 triggering the move but “Early Movers” started
moving in 2003. They now have almost 5,000 activists “on the
ground” that have opened 120+ business and invested over
$250M in real estate. They added 343 new “movers” last year
and 1375 new “signers” who have committed to move in 5

Etienne de la Boetie donates six copies of years. They have over 20 members/supporters in the New
Understanding Our Slavery to Steven Reddell
Hampshire legislature. I was able to meet with almost a half
from Granite Logic Book Exchange which places
mini-"Libraries of Liberty" into Laundymats and dozen elected representatives, several of whom bought books,
public places in New Hampshire as well as journalists and media personalities including Pete
“Mance Rayder” Raymond, Vin Armani and Roger Paxton to
begin socializing the “Pre-State Project” our plan to supercharge the FSP by widely exposing inter-generational
organized crime’s control of government and media to convert the libertarian-leaning within the state to the
ideas of Liberty. We donated copies of Understanding Our Slavery for both Granite Logic’s mini “Libraries of
Liberty” and a copy for an auction to benefit freeing political prisoner Ross Ulbricht.
Anarchapulco – Feb 14th – 19th – Acapulco, Mexico
Anarchapulco is the one of the largest gatherings of voluntaryists,
anarchists, libertarians and freedom lovers in the world. This year
the conference attracted almost 2,000 folks and I was a speaker.
My session was packed and my presentation very well-received!
While I didn’t speak with every other author I am fairly sure
Understanding Our Slavery was the best-selling book at the
conference for the 2nd year in a row with almost 100 sold in 2018
and ~ 110 this year!

The Art of Liberty On the Beach – The Turtle Party https://youtu.be/R0yeIqGVxGE

Art of Liberty Founder Etienne de la Boetie2 Addresses the Crowd

We kicked off our fund-raising campaign with a Kickstarter Party at the Campamento Tortuguero turtle sanctuary on
Bonfil Beach on Saturday night of the Anarchapulco conference. The party attracted almost 400 attendees who helped
us raise over $3,000 towards exposing inter-generational organized crime’s control of the Government and media.
 Ernie Hancock of Freedom’s Phoenix, Tim Picciott – The Liberty Advisor, educational reformer David Rodriguez,
and blockchain/cryptocurrency expert Jimmy Calfee kicking around Liberty

The party was a magical evening on the beach complete with a bonfire, fresh coconuts, amazing vegan food, fireworks
from an adjacent wedding, and a release of baby turtles into the surf at midnight. The crowd enjoyed the sounds of
freedom artists Alais Clay, the Freenauts, and Ela Mental. We let in students and anyone on a tight budget for free,
provided some fun paid jobs for young attendees, supported our truth moment artists, and significantly benefited our
favorite turtle sanctuary with catering and venue rental.

Wired Magazine did a story on the conference where a considerable portion of the article talked about how cool the
party and the turtle sanctuary were without mentioning our foundation or that we are exposing inter-generational
organized crime’s control of the government and media! Somehow the MSM always misses what is most important!

I’d like to take a moment to thank the folks who helped to make the party such a fantastic success: Nate Henderson of
Eat, Sleep, Crypto who helped organize everything, Jimmy Calfee and Chris R. who helped finance, Bruce Baumann who
MCed the event, DJ Koala who made the crowd bounce, Kenny Palurintano of Kenny’s Conscious Kitchen who made
amazing vegan food for everyone, AV and CTRAFFIK from The Freenauts, Ela Mental, and surprise musical guest Alais
Clay who rocked the house!, our “Bus Wranglers” Stephen Fisher & Nancy Hawaiian Huynh, and Monica Marinas
Vallarino & Michel Montero Vallarino from Campamento Tortuguero who opened their turtle sanctuary (and home!) to
us, Miriam Gomez who jumped in and helped make coconut drinks when the line started stretching down the beach,
Foxy and Free Alexandra Kate who helped sell T-Shirts and everyone who came out and supported Real Freedom!

Understanding Our Slavery is Keeping Kids Out of the Meat Grinder

I was having a conversation with a couple of high school seniors at my gym who were planning on going into
the military after graduation with the dream of being special forces. I explained you can get the same or
better training privately (Max Velocity Tactical & The Jackson Hole Shooting Experience are two examples) and
gave them a copy of Understanding Our Slavery. I ran into one a couple of weeks later and he had changed his
mind completely! Makes it all worth it!

Please note: Only ~20% of this crowd attended Anarchapulco and no endorsement of the Art of Liberty Foundation is implied.

I am living and working in Austin, Texas and right after I returned from
Anarchapulco, a group of freedom-loving voluntaryists and crypto
entrepreneurs rolled into town for SWSW. I ended up meeting so many
amazing people over the course of the week that I think I am going to
return every year. I had copies of Understanding Our Slavery in my
backpack and it seemed like every time I would mention the book or was
showing someone almost immediately someone else would offer to buy it
right out of my hands. Ex- NBA Golden State Warrior and cannabis activist
Matt Barnes bought a copy and he and I had a 30-minute conversation on
the real reasons that professional athletes shouldn’t stand for the national
anthem. I was able to take Rolling Stone reporter Neil Strauss through an
overview as well. I also struck my first distribution deal where crypto-
entrepreneur David Pomerantz did a bulk order for his crypto-only retail
store and brought three friends to a private presentation on the book.

The perfect “Laboratory of Liberty” to test
transitioning from monopoly “government”
services to voluntary free market services.
Similar to how Cannabis legalization spread
rapidly after it was passed in Colorado, we
believe exposure of the organized crime system
and real freedom can spread nationally and then
globally.
We can win everywhere, but first we have to win
somewhere, and that somewhere is New
Hampshire! – Etienne de la Boetie2
We are currently raising a $50,000 seed round to finish our
companion book: Voluntaryism – How Real Freedom Leads to
Harmony and Prosperity for All, create a think tank to study our
“political Issues” as inter-generational organized crime and
launch “The Pre-State Project” to free New Hampshire.
