We are in our first major fundraising campaign in our history. We have raised $1,496 from 14 donors with a goal to raise $50,000 from 150 donors. The true number is higher because many people have supported us by “Going Paid” on Substack, which we appreciate and encourage! If you value having an articulate voice for voluntaryism, will you please consider making a donation today by “Going Paid” OR ArtOfLiberty.org/Sponsor? - Etienne de la Boetie2

Warm greetings to the friends of the Art of Liberty Foundation,

Our goal at the Foundation is to expose how inter-generational organized crime runs the “government,” media and academia while providing the good news alternatives of voluntaryism and the philosophy of human respect. We believe we are somewhat unique in that we are “Striking the Root” by addressing the problem of inter-generational organized crime using “government” to rob and control populations vs. wasting time and treasure in organized crime’s rigged card game of “elections” using unauditable black box voting machines and mail-in ballots. I like to call the strategy: The One-Way Revolution!

Our work is unique in so many ways… we are exposing the unethically manipulative tricks and techniques that “governments” use to create fealty, obedience and adoration in populations, from the mandatory “government” school to the hidden curriculum of scouting to the product placement of the US flag into movies and television “programming” at moments of high positive emotion, to the algorithmic censorship of the DARPA Internet. Once people realize that there has been a “man-behind-the-curtain” in the mandatory schools and monopolized media attempting to “chump” them into a Statist belief system with trick photography, indoctrination and manipulative techniques, many never go back to supporting the “government”! We call this “The One-Way Revolution,” and we believe that it is both capable of and destined for viral growth.

Unfortunately, we have a long way to go…It is the hardest job imaginable… I half-jokingly call it “large-scale cult deprogramming,” but really, that is the stone-cold truth of the situation. We are exposing the Biggest Scam in History! And the overwhelming majority of the population, including myself, for decades, has unfortunately fallen for it: hook, line and sinker! Because it was indoctrinated into the population during their formative years. We are fighting incredulity, cognitive dissonance, and Stockholm Syndrome sometimes simultaneously!

Making the problem worse is that many don’t understand that there is a way better option than the violence and extortion of “government” because voluntaryism has been the most censored and suppressed political philosophy in the world!

Voluntaryism has been censored because it is the only political philosophy that is fair for everyone and exposes the illegitimacy and criminality of “Government.” We are revealing how the magicians have been pulling the trick… and the magicians don’t like it! We are continually censored on essentially every major social media and video platform except Substack. We even have evidence of Google de-indexing one of our investigations.

YouTube constantly deletes our videos while keeping us one strike away from losing the channel, and the USPS continues to lose an amazing amount of our shipments.

This year, G-mail began marking emails from our domain as spam even when replying to people who e-mail us! Even though we use a completely different domain for our newsletter and bulk e-mails! But despite the odds stacked against us, we continue to move the ball! Our book “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! has been selling to 25 countries and become one of those rare titles that people buy in bulk for friends, family and colleagues. Over 10% of our book sales are “Friend’s Bundles” or “Pop Up Guerrilla Bookstores.” Our online bookstore at GovernmentScam.com/Store has become one of the top retailers of voluntaryist titles, and we are Larken Rose’s #2 book distributor after Amazon.com!

On Substack, the only major social media platform that doesn’t appear to be censoring us, we are achieving the same spectacular growth that we are seeing in our house e-mail list, which grew over 1300% over the past two years while visitors to our website climbed 56% this year alone. Compare these results to our subscribers on Fedbook, Twitter/X, Telegram, and YouTube, which barely budge! We have also become what we believe to be the most prolific voice for voluntaryism and anarcho-capitalism anywhere, with 40 media and podcast appearances in 2023 up 263% over 2022!

We simply could not have done this without you! Please review the attached annual report with our plans for the future and help us take things to the next level! Our last major goal in 2023 is to launch “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! and The Liberator flash drives on Amazon.com, Ingram Spark, and Direct-to-Digital to make our publications more easily discoverable worldwide. We are in the middle of a capital campaign to make that happen and have developed a sponsorship program with some amazing perks to say thank you, including the opportunity to co-host a world-class liberty conference in your town or city similar to what we just did with Liberty on the Rocks - Sedona!

In Liberty

One of the most important initiatives of 2022 was to begin publishing our work to Substack at ArtOfLiberty.Substack.com, the only major platform we have found that isn’t censoring, shadow-banning, and deindexing our work.

Graph #1 shows total subscribers climbing to over 2,500+ in a little over a year once we started to get serious in August of 2022. Our annual revenue with our Important News Substack is closing in on $5,000 per year, and we have articles and investigations that have been read 10,000+ times on Substack alone. Compare that with our much older Telegram channels, which censored our main Art of Liberty Foundation group off the platform, and where our Five Meme Friday and Government, Media and Academia Criminality Exposed Telegram groups seem stuck at a little over 200 subscribers each. Or Fedbook, where our Etienne de la Boetie2 account was censored off in May of 2018, and our “Facebook Group” still hovers at under 700 even after 3+ years on the platform OR YouTube, still under 900 subs and which we can’t even really use as they are constantly deleting our videos and we are always one strike away from getting kicked off. Substack is the only social media platform tracking the same growth we are seeing in our e-mail subscribers, which have grown from 469 to 6,800+ or a staggering 1,360% growth rate since January of 2021. Substack and our e-mail growth demonstrate the popularity of our ideas and investigations absent the algorithmic censorship of cartel companies on the DARPA Internet!

In July, we participated in The End of Covid, a 90-part virtual educational summit bringing together over 80+ experts covering every aspect of the scam of “The Covid.” This massive event brought together doctors, scientists, investigative journalists, and experts who broke down every aspect of how organized crime pulled off the 3rd biggest scam in history (after the Scams of “Government” and “Virology”).

When HBO dropped its hit piece “The Anarchists,” we were perfectly positioned to pull the curtain back on the scam. I have been an attendee since the original Anarchapulco in 2015, a speaker in 2019 and 2020, had the best-selling book at the conference for three years running, and our annual fundraiser for the Art of Liberty Foundation, The Turtle Party, was the best-attended party not put on by the conference itself.

We did a real-deal investigation interviewing eight different ex-Anarchapulco and/or Jeff Berwick employees and conference attendees to expose how we believe the intelligence agencies deal drugs into activist movements and “steer and smear” them with “reality” tell-a-vision shows. Some of the most interesting testimony from the investigation: Jeff Berwick’s drunken confession to an employee that “[he] and Luke Rudkowski were the controlled opposition in the Liberty movement.” and “The Anarchapulco Drugs Came From the CIA” from Paul Propert via the same whistleblower

We also broke down the backgrounds of the executive producers and their track record of making documentaries of the “official story” of historical events like 9-11, the Boston Marathon Bombing, and the Oklahoma City Bombing, where the intelligence agencies were the actual prime suspects including, and you just can’t make this stuff up, a “documentary” on a future coronavirus pandemic that came out in January of 2020 staring Bill Gates and “vaccines.”

You can find our investigation on Substack in Five Parts:

We published our most important investigations ever: Solving Covid - The Covid 19, Eugenics, and Vaccine/Drug Scam Timeline, a companion piece to an earlier article, The Covid-19 Suspects and Their Ties to Eugenics and Population Control/Reduction, which breaks down Anthony Fauci’s connection to the politically connected billionaires who have been funding and controlling the modern eugenics movement. The investigation took 5+ man months with 600+ end-notes. If you know of a better investigation into who was behind the scam of “The Covid” and how they pulled it off, let us know as we plan on picking this back up in 2024 and turning it into a book.

The Art of Liberty Foundation releases the 5th Edition of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! with over 500+ pre-orders from almost a dozen countries. The new edition exposes, among other revelations, the statistically anomalous number of “ex” CIA agents in the MainStreamMedia and being funded for Congressional campaigns. We break down the World Economic Forum and expose how major firms have been monopolized into duopolies and triopolies where Blackrock, Vanguard and State Street frequently own significant interests in both firms, offering the illusion of choice. We break down Crisis Actors, Mockingbird Media and intelligence agency “Created Legends”

Also, in January, we attended The Greater Reset Conference in Morelia, Mexico, where we exhibited and beta-tested the White Rose MUCHO GRANDE posters and made media appearances. We have been invited back to be a main stage speaker in January of 2024.

We attended the Conscious Life Expo in Las Angeles, where we gave a talk, tabled and exhibited our White Rose MUCHO GRANDE posters. We partnered with Sedona Quantum Consciousness and Take Back Our Tech to put information on the foundation into every attendee’s bag.

We exhibited at the Free State Project’s Liberty Forum, selling dozens of books and launching the Pre-State Project by distributing dozens more to NH Legislators, libraries, mini-libraries, and police chiefs, among others. We donated a pop-up guerrilla bookstore the Wearehouse, a Free State Project community center in Weare, NH. We also created options in our store at GovernmentScam.com/store where folks can donate copies of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! to New Hampshire legislators, police chiefs, and journalists. We have sold and distributed hundreds and hundreds of books in New Hampshire with many, many copies in the hands of VIPs, legislators and journalists.

In early April, we launched The Daily News on Substack and moved Five Meme Friday to Substack in addition to distribution using our own e-mail system.

The alternative media, censored videos, and evidence of “government”, media and academia criminality. In eight months, we have over 900+ subscribers to The Daily News and almost 800 to Five Meme Friday, with revenue for both around $1500 yearly, which brings our total revenue from Substack to almost $6500 and climbing. We brought on an additional employee, Ada Medina, who has been doing a fantastic job keeping up with the volume we throw at her. A hat tip to Bruce Tanner, who has been helping me edit the publication as well. We incurred some additional expenses for this initiative, and we still aren’t covering our costs, so if you are enjoying The Daily News, then please consider “Going Paid!”

We exhibited and spoke at the Porcupine Freedom Festival in Lancaster, NH. The festival is one of the largest gatherings of voluntaryists and libertarians in the country, with 2500+ taking over New Hampshire’s largest campground for a full week of events.

Etienne and Mark Passio presented simultaneously to the 3rd annual Freedom Under Natural Law Conference and a local audience at the festival. We did multiple podcasts, and I talked with GOP Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who got a copy of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! RFK Jr. has a copy as well! We served attendees vegan fare, homemade, sugar-free watermelon and lime juice made with organic fruit and spring water and documented everything in pictures!

On the way to PorcFest, we presented at Rebels for a Cause in Nashville, TN where we rocked a mostly Conservative “patriot” crowd but were incredibly well received! We met a number of podcast hosts and ended up doing even more media in the months after the conference, including an interview with Vigilant News that produced 73,000+ views on Rumble alone, where I won the crowd even after calling out Donald Trump as controlled opposition.

We officially launched the White Rose MUCHO GRANDE, our collection of free downloadable posters exposing the monopolization of the media, “government” and everything else, at FreedomFest 2023 in Memphis, TN. We did a variety of media at the conference including a debate on voluntaryism vs. constitutional republicanism with syndicated talk show host Sam Bushman.

Kirk Dennis Joins the Team

Just in time for FreedomFest in Memphis, Kirk Dennis joined the Art of Liberty team as Vice President, Publications and Sponsorship Programs. Kirk is a voluntaryist and seasoned business executive who leads our development efforts and is expanding our publications business. He was formerly the principal of Kirk Dennis Inc (KDI) – a management consulting firm that specialized in developing marketing plans and sales strategies for companies in the high-tech industry. Besides KDI, he has founded and built three other diverse companies, including a wholesale computer distributor, Boulder Computer

Systems is a nationwide LAN/WAN systems integrator – SigmaCom, Inc; and a videoconferencing company, VideoCom, Inc. Kirk graduated from Wittenberg University (Springfield, Ohio) with a B.A. in philosophy. As a student, Kirk traveled to Bodh Gaya, Bihar, India, for a one-year independent study consummated in a book-length manuscript entitled: “Bodh Gaya – The Holiest Buddhist Shrine.” Bodh Gaya is where the Buddha sat under the Bodhi Tree and received enlightenment. Just like Jerusalem for the Judeo/ Christian religion and Mecca for Islam, Bodh Gaya is considered the holiest place in the Buddhist world. While living in India, Kirk stayed at the Bodh Gaya Ashram – the international headquarters for disciples of Mahatma Gandhi and the birthplace of the Indian independence movement that drove the British from India. Kirk is once again at the center of a global independence movement from the scam of “government!

In September, James Corbett of The Corbett Report covered our White Rose MUCHO GRANDE Project. I taught myself the video editing tools OBS and Stream Deck and began experimenting with green screens to improve our presentation game. We flew in White Rose admin Kenny Palurintano to participate and share the story of the historical White Rose and the current network of activists worldwide to demonstrate the success of decentralized resistance to tyranny

Last year, I stopped in my “2nd hometown,” Memphis, TN, to finish up the 5th edition of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! I thought it would take 2-3 weeks, but it ended up taking 5+ months because of our investigation into “The Covid,” which I was forced to split out into two monographs: The Covid-19 Suspects and Their Ties to Eugenics and Population Control/Reduction and Solving Covid - The Covid-19 Eugenics, Vaccine/Drug Scam Timeline. I ended up meeting my girlfriend Julie in Memphis and falling in love. At the end of her lease in August, I convinced her to move back to where I winter outside of Sedona.

Along the way, Art of Liberty Foundation supporter Ken Blood sponsored us to speak to the Oklahoma Political Action Committee (OCPAC), a network of concerned conservatives across the state headquartered in Oklahoma City. I was especially impressed with the Chairman, Wade Burleson, who went to the same high school and was captain of the same football team in Fort Worth, Texas, less than a decade before me. It was the most conservative audience I have ever spoken to, and we were incredibly well-received! We, essentially, sold out of books (we had one left) and proved that the voluntaryist message could resonate even with hardline conservatives.

In early November, we organized Liberty on the Rocks – Sedona, where we brought together the consciousness and liberty communities at the Global Center for Christ Consciousness in Sedona, Arizona. Larken Rose, Etienne de la Boetie2, Ernie Hancock, Ramiro Ramani, Tall Paul, Charlene Sansone, and Morgan Langan brought wisdom. Mark Szymczak, the founder of Sedona Quantum Consciousness, elevated the group and hosted our VIP dinner, and artists Grant “Prezence” Ellman, Daniel Flynn, and Viola Rose brought the vibe! This was our template for the type of event we are offering to Foundation donors that contribute at the President’s Club level of $25,000. We can’t wait to help you introduce voluntaryism to your friends, family, city or town in a high-quality way! The event and the talks were so well received that we decided to publish them and created our streaming website at Watch.ArtOfLiberty.org.

As I was forced to look at the past to write this annual report, It also provided the opportunity to plan for the future. As we continue to grow and develop the Art of Liberty Foundation into a world class public policy and investigative organization tracking the organized crime elements controlling the “government,” media and academia, with your help, the biggest need is another writer/researcher/investigative journalist. I am, essentially maxed out on what I can accomplish on a yearly basis with our existing team. I am the bottleneck. I have a superb candidate at arm’s length but he is somewhat expensive at $85K a year. We also have a Conference Director/Booth Manager, Podcast/Video Producer, Publications Director, and Assistant Director of Development on the wish list as well!

2023 -2024 Goals

Finish Voluntaryism – How the Only “ISM” Fair for Everyone leads to Harmony and Prosperity for All

We were 60% through with Voluntaryism in February of 2020 when “The Covid” hit. We put the book on the backburner while we figured out how to organize and template resistance to the lockdowns, mask mandates and became the first organization to expose empty hospitals at the “Epi-center of Covid in California.” We are ready to pick the book back up again and create a compelling image-rich book that addresses the #1 criticism of “Government”: “Etienne, you do a great job of exposing how inter-generational organized crime runs the “government” and media BUT what are you going to do? Who is going to build the roads?”

Finish Solving Covid – How Eugenics-Centered Organized Crime Engineered a Fake Pandemic to Steal Trillions and Murder Millions – Reminder: The reason that the 5th edition of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! was so delayed that my original plan was to bring the book into the age of “the Covid” by exposing the billionaires, foundations, puppet “scientists,” and pharma companies behind what has become the largest eugenics operation since “AIDS”/AZT. The problem wasn’t a lack of evidence… it was too much evidence! We had to pull the Covid section from the book and release it on Substack as a monograph: Solving Covid – The Covid-19, Eugenics and Vaccine/Drug Scam Timeline along with its companion article: The Covid 19 Suspects and Their Ties to Eugenics and Population Control/Reduction. We stand ready to turn both articles into a book when the funding materializes.

Move to Video Production and Podcasting

One of the realizations that I have made in getting this information out to a mass audience is, unfortunately, many people simply do not read anymore. Even if you make it a “picture book,”… so I have concluded that we must move to video and podcast production.

People ask me all the time “How do I subscribe to your podcast or vlog”? and my stock response is that I just “Rock the Mic” on other folk’s platforms!

It isn’t that I don’t have the technical ability; in fact, in a previous life, I ran a boutique publishing company focused on telepresence and visual collaboration where I was an innovator in taking prosumer camera gear and producing high-quality video journalism during the early days of YouTube. I have cast actors, hired directors, and produced high-quality commercials, including international video shoots. I simply don’t do anything that isn’t high quality, and I haven’t had the resources to do it right… yet!

Documentary for “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History... Exposed!

The same realization that is leading us to video production and podcasting demands that we make “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! into a high-quality documentary. The same techniques that have made “Government” so impactful and popular would translate beautifully to the screen. We have had a couple of folks interested in financing it, but it simply hasn’t panned out…yet! You would think folks would be fighting over the ability to be the guy (or gal!) to expose the biggest scam in all of human history!
