On the evening of June 5th, 2018 I attended a town hall meeting held in Ashburn, Virginia, the Internet’s global interconnection point, data center capital of the planet, and home of the Washington Redskins, a bustling little hamlet of Loudoun County, Virginia. The topic was “Building Positive Relations with Law Enforcement” and the event was held by the Northern Virginia Business and Professional Women’s Club, an organization of African-American female executives. Loudoun County, Va is a suburb of Washington DC and the #1 wealthiest county in US with neighbors Fairfax County, VA and Howard County, MD coming in #2 and #3 and Arlington County #6. In addition to football field-sized data centers spying on the population, our little county leads the nation in the sale of luxury automobiles, fine jewelry, expensive wine and spirits, premium cigars, kind bud, McMansions, cosmetic surgery, bought-and-paid-for-politicians, and Federal “workers” making $170,000+ a year. My running joke whenever friends or neighbors bring up the subject is “It’s almost like the wealth of an entire nation was stolen and concentrated in a tiny area around Washington DC”.
Except it isn't a joke! it's the reality that I am exposing in my new book: Understanding Our Slavery - "It's a System" How the USA, Soviet Union, East Germany, and Nazi Germany have all used the exact same techniques to control their tax slaves". The book exposes how inter-generational organized crime has been controlling and robbing society using a technique called Statism in its mandatory government schools. One of the unfortunate consequences of the system is the government's monopoly police forces are given the ability to rob, victimize and even murder the citizenry with impunity and the African-American community is being disproportionately targeted... a point made by the majority of residents who made comments or had questions at the end of the meeting.
The Police's Solution: African-Americans Roll Over and Lick Boot
Shockingly, to the visible and audible disgust of many in the crowd, myself included, Sergeant Easton McDonald of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (Executives?NOBLE?) presented a video that suggested the solution to the problem was for African-Americans to simply roll-over and submit in any police encounter no matter how egregious! He further used as examples of situations where he believed the police could interject themselves: a group of men shooting dice or if an officer smelled cannabis. Both victimless crimes where the police/government arrest peaceful people and frequently lock them in for-profit prisons where they are then forced to work as slave labor for pennies an hour. In the case of gambling, the local Fairfax police famously swat-teamed (Breaking and Entering when anyone else does it) a well-known high stakes poker game in Great Falls, Virginia in 2015 made up of successful businessmen and seized/stole the cash! This was shortly after the Fairfax police SWAT team had accidentally shot and killed local optometrist Salvatore Culosi Jr. when serving a warrant for football bets where a police detective befriended him at a bar and entrapped him!

As egregious as using SWAT teams on poker games and football betting is, it pales in significance to the death and destruction of the government’s “War on Drugs” which likewise makes "criminals?" out of overwhelmingly peaceful people, disproportionately African-American, and sentences them to slave labor in for-profit prisons. In the most bizarre scene from the evening, an African-American DEA agent who wasn’t even an invited speaker but simply seemed to force himself on to the stage made a number of mini-speeches where he attributed the problems of drug-related crime, inner-city violence and the opioid overdose epidemic to “Drugs”. Anyone with the most basic understanding of economics and public policy knows that almost every problem he identified isn’t a result of “drugs” but of “Prohibition” and the “War on Drugs” itself. As prohibition of alcohol proved, whenever government (organized crime) makes something the population desires illegal it doesn’t get rid of that substance, it creates a very profitable black market that imposes a de-facto value-added tax that is collected by organized crime. The result is outrageous profits for criminals with well-known, to economists, unintended consequences for the population:
- Overdoses – Illegality forces both addicts and recreational users to roll-the-dice with potentially adulterated substances since they can’t buy guaranteed pure drugs of measured potency.
- Violence and Crime – Prohibition raises the cost of addictive drugs astronomically vs the free market leading many addicts to turn to crime to finance their habit AND because drugs are illegal it attracts organized crime (vs. the local drug store) that settle their disputes with violence leaving the population in the crossfire vs. having access to courts.
- Creating Addicts – Perversely, the drug war actually creates a financial incentive for drug dealers to spend their own money to create addicts! If a drug dealer can give a teenager free drugs until they are hooked then chances are that drug dealer is the only one the kid knows so the drug dealer has a captured customer. Compare that with legally addictive alcohol where no similar financial incentive exists because it can be readily purchased anywhere.
This is well known and former DEA spokeswoman and self-described agency “Chief Propagandist” Belita Nelson has publicly testified to that fact the agency is dishonest in its policies: “Marijuana is safe, we know it is safe. It’s our cash cow and we will never give it up… If you think the DEA are the good guys, they are not. They are really not. We are talking about corruption on steroids”. Honest and intelligent police officers, judges, and prosecutors who also realize this have organized themselves into the legitimately noble Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP…Which has been recently renamed Law Enforcement Action Partnership) to address a wider range of institutionalized criminality in monopoly policing including arrest quotas, civil asset forfeiture, “stop and frisk” and police militarization among others.

The Real Problem – Organized Crime Government and Monopoly Policing
The real problem, as I explain in detail in Understanding Our Slavery and pointed out during the forum, is inter-generational organized crime using the technique of “Government” on the population to control and rob them. Contrary to what most people were taught in their mandatory government indoctrination center (Public School), “government” is not something that was imposed on you to help you or protect you but to enslave and control you. The root words are “Gubernare” (To control or govern) and “Mente/Mens” (the Mind) I.E. “Control the Mind / Mind Control”. The government accomplishes this by taking free human beings and raising them up in mandatory government schools where they indoctrinate them with a hidden curriculum and pseudo-religion called: Statism. Statism is, essentially, the belief in the legitimacy, desirability, and necessity of having a “Government”. Contrary to what you were taught in your mandatory government school it really isn’t a good idea. It really isn’t logical or moral and everyone is simply tricked into believing that the government is legitimate because the "gubenare mente"/"government" forces people to learn that and pledge their allegiance before they are old enough to evaluate the logic and morality of the concept on their own.
The simplest question that exposes the fraud of the whole idea is the one I asked... twice… “If I, as a regular citizen” don’t have the right to order people around, steal their stuff (taxes) or make up rules for everyone (laws), then how I can “delegate” rights I don’t have myself to a “representative” or “government”? I.E. If it is impossible for “We the People” to delegate the right to rob everyone in society, boss them around, and make up rules to criminals in Washington DC, Richmond, and Leesburg then where did the police and the government get those rights? Their answer: No Answer!
The government school system would have you believe that you owe 1/2 your income in overt taxes, covert taxes, and inflation because a couple of dozen slave owners on a continent of three million people hundreds of years ago wrote down on a piece of paper that they alone get that privilege. It’s an idea so absurd and ridicules on its face that it could only be taught in a government school.
Two Short Videos from The Liberator expose the illogic and immorality of Statism: Top: Statism – The Most Dangerous Religion and Bottom: The Conversation.
Real Freedom – The Easy Solution That is Fair For All
I don’t want to give away the ending to my book (Available for free in PDF at www.UnderstandingOurSlavery.com/book ) but the biggest secrets kept from public (government) school children is that the world is a self-organizing system that produces spontaneous order and that all the “services” provided by government — from protection to roads to charity — can be better provided by voluntary interaction, the free market, and real charity. Freedom doesn’t guarantee utopia, but it is the most moral alternative that unleashes the creativity and capital creation mechanisms of the market.
Voluntaryism/anarchism/libertarianism are social movements that reject the artificially indoctrinated belief system of Statism in favor of true freedom and voluntary interactions between free people. It is the most moral of all the political systems in that it recognizes natural law and honors the Non- Aggression Principle (NAP), which posits that no individual or group of individuals has the right to initiate violence and coercion against other human beings who are not aggressing against them — in other words, live and let live, unless someone is threatening your life or property. All other political philosophies (socialism, communism, monarchy, democracy, constitutional republicanism, etc.) allow a ruling class to engage in violence and coercion against the majority. Though these systems may even allow elections where the winning party is allowed to rob everyone in society to enact its stated political goals, elections amount to ritualistic theater (especially when they only represent a minority of the eligible voters and the winner was outnumbered by citizens who didn’t vote at all). In addition to the travesty that occurs when majority rule tramples the rights of the minority, elections are also easily rigged and controlled by moneyed interests to offer the illusion of control to the tax slaves who are ignorant/willfully ignorant of the “Big Con”.
Introducing the Art of Liberty Foundation
If you agree with the assessment that the government and media have been hijacked by organized crime and are looking to “Strike the Root” against their #1 tool: Statism vs. hacking at the branches of evil in rigged elections or with organizations that believe that government power is legitimate and desirable then I would like to introduce you to our humble effort: The Art of Liberty Foundation.The Art of Liberty Foundation is a new liberty organization with a unique approach to societal change:
- Let’s call the problem inter-generational organized crime, because it is, and focus on the obvious large-scale theft of trillions through the TARP/TALF and other “bailout” programs, trillions missing from the Pentagon, billions from HUD, USPS, AMTRAK, etc.
- A focus on voluntaryism/anarchy/libertarianism as the only political system fair for all (No Masters, No Slaves) and exposing both organized crime’s #1 tool: Statism and the illogical, self-contradictory ideas behind “government”: The inability to delegate rights you don’t have personally to representatives, the obvious theft of taxation, the immorality of locking peaceful people in for-profit prisons for victimless crimes, etc.
- Let’s expose “The System” in measurable, targeted, cost-effective ways that take away organized crime’s psychological control system of statism/nationalism by explaining and documenting the identifiable techniques, people, and organizations involved in government-funded propaganda and indoctrination programs including DoD/CIA funding of Hollywood “programming” including 800 plus movies and 1000+ television shows and 6 monopoly media companies running hundreds of subsidiaries to give the illusion of choice the evidence for which is linked in the free PDF version of the book.
- Provide informational tools for the honest teachers and awake students in the government’s mandatory indoctrination centers and militarized youth programs like the Boy Scouts, Explorers, and Young Marines to expose the “Con” with cost-effective media tailored to visual learners to improve and accelerate their understanding of “The System” including books, posters, videos and infographics tailored to a much wider audience than traditional books.
Our book Understanding Our Slavery is our effort to accelerate understanding of “The System” for the 65% of the population who are visual learners and expose the hidden curriculum of Statism in the government’s mandatory schools, scouting programs, and police/military training. We are currently working on getting the effectiveness of the book up and the cost out while researching how to distribute widely in cost-effective and targeted ways.
The Liberator is our effort to develop uncensorable, viral, hand-to-hand distribution of liberty material and evidence of government and media criminality on inexpensive flash drives. We are using the symbolism of the 1942 Liberator handgun but with a twist: A lotus flower blooming from its upturned barrel.
The Message: First and foremost, We are Peaceful! We honor the Non-Aggression Principal which cult members do not. Second, even if organized crime tricked you into this pseudo-religion of Statism, even if you shaved your head and killed for those using “Gubernare Mente/Government” on you, even if you locked up peaceful people for victimless crimes, even if you inconvenienced travelers and violated their dignity and privacy, even if you propagandized the population from Hollywood, New York, Washington DC, Atlanta, or Langley: It’s OK! You are forgiven! Everyone can be reborn… every day is a potential new beginning! The final symbolism is, because we are dealing with organized crime and shave-headed, mind-controlled cult-member “order followers” financially and psychologically dependent on the system and unwilling to comprehend that some people don't believe in their artificially indoctrinated religion: We’re holding on to the gun!
Finally, some good news
First, you are a free, sovereign being who doesn’t owe his allegiance or income to any king, caliphate or country just because you were born in this or that geographical area. If you are willing to abandon the use of violence and the pseudo-religion of government/authority then you have tens of millions of fellow voluntaryist/libertarian brothers and sisters around the world who feel the same way and are trying to free ourselves from “The System”.
Locally, it is incumbent on the business and community leaders represented by the NAACP, the Northern Virginia Business and Professional Women’s Club, and others at the meeting and not present to demand that the schools have an open discussion on the use of Statism and the unethically manipulative obedience techniques being used in the schools including, among others: Corporal punishment, public shaming, collective punishment, Red, Yellow, Green boards/classroom management techniques, Requiring permission to use the restroom, drill bells, and walking in single-file lines to name just a few. Most importantly an end to state-sponsored pre-military programs including Starbase, Young Marines, Scouting and jROTC Uni-Forms (the single form), head-shaving and other unethically manipulative programs.
I would welcome the opportunity to work with the Northern Virginia Business and Professional Women’s Club, the NAACP, local Parent Teacher Organizations, and others to have a series of open meetings and a petition campaign demanding an end to these practices so we can mitigate the harm to our children’s intellectual and moral development. I have developed a petition template for such a campaign that can be used in Loudoun County (or any other county in the US or abroad) which you can find in our flash drive/Dropbox of Freedom: The Liberator in the folder: The Hidden Curriculum of Mandatory Govt Schools
In closing, South African Apartheid activist Steve Biko famously said: “The Most Potent Weapon in the Hand of the Oppressor is the Mind of the Oppressed”. I hope my book and the videos, documentaries, and podcasts on The Liberator are able to cut through the 12,000 hours of indoctrination inflicted by Gubernare Mente / "Government" and the “Propaganda Matrix” of six organized crime monopoly media companies running hundreds of subsidiaries to give you the illusion of choice + the NSA's Google, Facebook, and Twitter toys. In the Solutions section of my book, I recommend dedicating just 5% of your time to becoming a scholar to find out what the government's mandatory schools, rip-off universities, and MainStreamMedia have been hiding from you starting with the short videos and documentaries in The Liberator. Always remember: Resistance is the difference between being a slave and being enslaved!
In Liberty,

It isn't just the government who is stealing the wealth. The corporatists are stealing the wealth. Their attitude is that you don't know what to do with your money anyway so they are going to take it and put it to good use "for society".
I believe the "government" is simply a tool of organized crime behind banking and central banking. The criminals use government to impose monopoly money and fractional reserve banking on the population which gives the banks the ability to create money out of thin air. The banks use this unlimited money to buy up and consolidate industry providing a handful of cartel companies (Most, but not all, of the Fortune 100/500) unlimited capital to buy up and consolidate their own industries. They will leave 2-3 companies in each industry to give the illusion of choice and competition: Wal-Mart and Target, Dicks and Sports Authority, Coke and Pepsi, AT&T and Verizon, Staples and Office Depot, Republicans and Democrats. The problem is organized crime bankers at the top. Take a look at the Network of Global Control in our flash drive of Freedom: The Liberator and you will see that the #1 bank with the most control of global corporate assets is Barclays which makes sense since central banking/fractional reserve banking got its 1st major modern toe hold in the UK with the Bank of England so they have had more time to buy up the world with their little paper fiat tickets.

The problem is that protection agencies are all going to be corrupt and have violent conflicts until one emerges as the dominant one,then that is what is called the government.
Why would you believe that all protection agencies would be corrupt? Are ADT, Westtec and other private security companies all corrupt? What crimes could they get away without being fired by their clients? Are they going to break into everyone's house instead of protect it? Don't you think if the dominant market player even whiffed at something like arming up against their clients the clients wouldn't find out when they started buying tanks and Bearcats?
Those agencies exist within the framework of government force, they usually call the real police. They don't really resolve things themselves. They can't arrest anyone.
They don't commit crimes not because they fear being fired by their clients they don't commit crimes because of the threat of criminal sanctions from the government. Just like anyone else.
I disagree completely on every point.
So it does not make sense to expect that ADT would be the same without police to call when their alarms go off. If we want to see what competing protection agencies would be like in a paradigm without a strong dominant protection agency there are lots of examples, the Crips, La Cosa Nostra, the triads, MS 13 and all the rest.
How much would your ADT bill be if ADT actually had to investigate and then prosecute and punish all the people who set off their alarms?
There is no reason at all to believe that private companies wouldn't be able to provide the exact same or better service than a monopoly government provider and there is ample evidence that demonstrates that they are doing it today. Essentially protection service is an armed, trained guy with a car that comes immediately when called. The only difference is the guy who arrives when you call ADT or a similar private company won't insanely and delusionally think he has rights you don't like the monopoly Statist cult-member/order followers. Your references to MS-13, crips and bloods make my point since these groups are thriving in the monopoly Statist policing world getting their energy and income from the govt's war on drugs. With no insane profits from drugs these groups become minimized.
Your premise that people who couldn't pay for protection is faulty as well. The Detroit Threat Management Center is a private, for-profit protection company that has grown because the monopoly police in Detroit suck. They provide protection and help to non-customers when needed because #1. It is the right thing to do #2. It creates goodwill in the communities they serve which is good for business (The Invisible Hand) #3. It takes criminals off the streets which is beneficial to their paying clients. #4. From the officer prospective it is fun to bust bad guys and help people.
Yes Really. You are stretching here. Anyone that sees a crime being committed can take action and stop it.
Your bill from ADT would be a lot less than the taxes you are paying for an inefficient monopoly provider where the organized crime governments are mulcting the population with multi-million dollar pensions (See our example in: The Liberator where Chicago's police as an example are robbing the population for millions each pension https://www.dropbox.com/s/wk6ajcpe4t2ydrd/Chicago-Police-Pension-Corruption.pdf?dl=0 + the population wouldn't have to pay multi-million dollar settlements for egregious conduct by shave-headed cult members who think they have rights that others don't and know they are protected in the government's monopoly courts by their fellow government (Organized crime) employees the prosecutors and judges.
Yes, if we got rid of the organized crime government there would probably be a transition period where some very small number of people would literally think they had a license to steal and would try it. They would be thinned out quick by a combination of armed citizens and private protection companies. ISIS is a creation of the US intelligence agencies and the Mossad that gets moved around the middle east to wherever we want to invade. Even if it was real the idea that a community would contract with ISIS is, frankly, ridicules. But let's say some radical Islamic community contracted with a crazy group like ISIS for protection.. They would be providing protection... If they started robbing their clients they would be fired... If they began victimizing other people in the community they would have to deal with the competing protection agencies.
Finally, I have entertained this just to demonstrate to readers that the free market can and is providing better alternatives than monopoly policing but your comment on ISIS is so outside of a rational thought that I am going to bow out from any further conversation with you on this subject. Best, EdlB2
those groups exist because the government has abdicated its responsibility to regulate the selling of drugs. So then other organizations arise to regulate that trade, gangs and cartels. They arise in the absence of government regulation. What in your system prevents the protection/ extortion agencies from consolidating into a monopoly? Why wouldn't company A simply buy or merge with all their competition?
Since government force is the only thing that breaks up monopolies, why wouldn't the protection agencies always become monopolistic and put you right back to square one? Prohibition is the abdication of regulation.
Instead of paying arbitrators and expensive payments to the other protection agencies it would make a lot more sense to just consolidate.
yeah, someone else used them as an example, you know what their number one thing they advocate for on their website? Calling the police. They don't take any criminals off the streets, they call the police. Mostly though it seems like they provide overpriced firearms training. Kind of a ripoff.
But what would be in it for them? How well equipped is the average person to stop a crime? I wouldn't stop a crime myself in most cases, unless it was against me or my family or neighbors, it's not my problem. Most people won't or can't.
So ADT wouldn't provide pensions for it's employees and they would never get sued? Underpaid security guards are going to really give a shit about the rights of people who don't have the protection of protection agencies. No one has ever complained about a mall security guard right?
If you get rid of the organized crime government then the other organized criminals battle it out to become the new government.
LOL, but this is not a hypothetical, ISIS is in control in some cities, and they victimize the shit out of and kill the people there and the people there can't really do shit about it. Anyone who opposes them is lined up and shot, decapitated or burned alive, there is no firing them or hiring a private protection agency. That's what happens in real life.
So real life is outside of rational thought when considering a political system based on a science fiction novel. Got it.
While I strongly agree with your stated principles, I find your proposal to influence influencers ludicrous. You have completely failed to address that there is a separate educational system that produces those overlords, and they aren't ignorant, but intentionally creating this circumstance.
The only conceivable means I am certain will work is what is currently happening: individuals becoming aware of their victimization by these overlords and looking for ways to be free of it, while technology continually increases the opportunities available to abstain from participation in their scams.
Thought leaders are almost all the enemy. Every political party is by definition statist, so all of it's members are seeking to control the apparatus of state, not starve it to death. Look at the rhetoric of Reagan, and what government actually did during his reign. He said 'the problem is government' while increasing the problem practically exponentially.
Ignore the rhetoric of liars, and support the actions of free people. Contribute to social, commercial, and political endeavors undertaken by free people outside of the state systems, and starve the enemy to death. Parasites depend on extraction of the resources of the host, in this case the government/banksters depend on vampirically extracting our wealth.
Remove from your life any wealth that can contribute to their sustenance, and create systems outside of their control. Eventually, if we ignore them, they will go away.
Technology always increases the power of individuals versus groups. Technology now is creating means of producing any product, from medical services to physical homes, that individuals can create themselves, and use outside of any state sanctioned system.
Be the change you want to see. Make your stuff yourself, and starve their banks, their factories, and their governments to death.
Don't fall into the trap of begging our overlords to be more merciful. Don't expect anything but lies from those that profit from the extant state system. Rhetoric isn't action. It's almost always lies. Act, and work with those that also act to do the same things, and no begging, pleading, or benevolent despots are necessary.
Money is their life'sblood. Quit using it.
Problem solved.
First, my list of influentials didn't include any politicians and by necessity of brevity I couldn't include every point you would have liked. I am in agreement on a great many of your points and my book promotes both Agorism (Making stuff yourself), cryptocurrencies (Don't use their money) and economic boycott as our strongest weapon (Starve their factories). On the education front what I am proposing is absolutely unique on a number of fronts and has never been tried before:
I could go on and on but I think you get the idea.. Call the problem by its real name: Organized Crime, Provide the Evidence to Back It Up: The Liberator, Make it Viral, and then get it into the hands of the people that matter most with a non-partisan solution that is fair for everyone: Voluntaryism. It's never been tried before. I hope that you will help!
Having those informational resources in one volume and a flash drive is quite useful, and I'm sure it will help many a great deal.
I probably didn't agree strongly enough with your specific information, but your reiteration of it here is but reinforcement to me of points that I completely agree with. There is no such thing as a free state. Government by definition is a form of slavery. Regarding banksters, and their ilk, I could not agree more strongly.
I just don't think that your idea to influence influencers is realistic.
Bypass them. Influence them just like everyone else, but expect them to be the enemy of your efforts, because them as are already fully aware of the propaganda war are active participants in it--as the enemy of freedom. There may be some you can reach that aren't knowingly lying, but it's unlikely there are many.
Most people know which side of the toast has the butter on it.
I strongly encourage you to publish the material as you are. It's vital to get into the hands and heads of the victims of this multigenerational crime against humanity. The perpetrators of that crime aren't going to help you, and I reckon you should be aware of that going in.
Twitter, CNN, etc., aren't nominally government, although they really are covert government ops intended to propagandize and censor us. If that's who you meant by influencers, you might as well try to inform the CIA that smuggling heroin, overthrowing governments, and committing terrorism is wrong.
That is literally the only criticism I have of your statements. I hope I have better conveyed my essential agreement with every other point you have made and thing you have said, other than that. I only offer that criticism because I have often made assumptions that I only realized were erroneous after being criticized, and have learned to seek criticism more than food.
It's more important to me to be right than it is to be not hungry.
Thanks!
