Thank you everyone who joined in for the voice chat today. It’s wonderful to hear some new voices and enjoy being together again with those of you who have joined in before. I appreciate our time together and it’s great to see what comes up each time as topics and themes to explore.
I’ll be back next week hosting another voice chat, Tuesday August 23rd at 3pm Pacific, 5pm Central, 6pm Eastern or whatever time that converts to where you live. You’re welcome to join in for that.

"No, I do not want better elections. I do not want to "clean up the system." I do not want to "get the money out of politics" and "make sure every vote is counted" and "drain the swamp" so we can "Make America [or any other geographical area] Great Again."
The state is not a benevolent force, despite what the most brainwashed of statists believe. It is not even a neutral tool that can be used for good or ill, as those who consider themselves pragmatists believe. It is violence. It is force. It is aggression. It is people believing that what is wrong for any individual to do is perfectly OK if an agent of the state does it.
If I steal, it is theft. If the state steals, it is taxation. If I kill, it is murder. If the state kills, it is warfare. If I force someone to work for me involuntarily, it is slavery. If the state does it, it is connoscription. If I confine someone against their will, it is kidnapping. If the state does it, it is incarceration. Nothing has changed but the label.
What binds us to the state is the belief that there is a different morality for anything that has been sanctified through the political process. "Oh, 50%+1 of the population voted for forced vaccinations? Then I guess we have to comply." If you scoff at that sentence, how about if the vote were 100%-1? Would that change the morality of resistance? How about if forced vaccinations were mandated by the constitution? Then would you be compelled to submit?
Does the ballot box transform the unethical into the ethical? Of course not. But I'll tell you what it does do: It makes everyone who casts their ballot a part of the process that legitimizes the murder and violence committed by agents of the state.
No, I am not an efficiency manager for the state. I do not want to help it do its job of inflicting aggression and violence on peaceful people. I want the state to perish, not through violence or bloodshed, but by removing the mystical superstition from the minds of the general public that makes them believe that "government" is anything other than a gang of thugs with a fancy noscript.
This is the point that—in my experience as a communicator of voluntaryist ideas—I start butting up against a brick wall of incomprehension when talking to the normies in the crowd. They start having mental breakdowns, frothing at the mouth that "votes need to happen."
As if voting, elections, positions of responsibility and other things that exist under statism could not exist under voluntary associations. As if voluntary association itself were such an arcane and bewildering concept that no one could possibly wrap their head around it (let alone, heaven forfend, read a book or two to see if some of their questions on the subject have already been answered).
No, much easier to go back to the comforting political wrestling match. "Red vs. Blue? Now that I can get behind!"
That's a travesty, really. Because the truth is that this is not a complicated message. It's actually remarkably simple, and remarkably hopeful. The truth is that . . ."

What do you think the odds are of a tax boycott in the next year or two? 🤔
The time is certainly ripe.
And out of the 80,000 new agents, how many of them will *actually* have chutzpah to fight for pennies? (Pennies in comparison to the defense budget at least—spending $10 trillion blowing up the Middle East boggles my mind every time I ponder it).

My friend is at a conference where Dr. Ryan Cole is speaking, and apparently he just admitted on stage that SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t exist.
Hopefully this is true, and hopefully he’s fully on board. We’ll see.

“Why did God create a world in which every living creature must eat?
This is a humbling, even terrifying, question, particularly for people who are intimately involved in the finding, growing, and harvesting of food. Eating is no idle or trifling activity. It is the means of life itself – but also death. For any creature to live, countless seen and unseen others must die, often by being eaten themselves. Life as we know it depends on death, needs death, which means that death is not simply the cessation of life but its precondition. Death is eating's steadfast accomplice. It is also each creature's biological end, for no matter how much or how well we eat (for the sake of life's preservation), we cannot erase our mortal condition. Why eat if eating, even vegetarian eating, implicates us in so much death? Why eat if eating is the daily reminder of our own need and mortality?
To live, we must daily break the body and shed the blood of creation. When we do it knowingly, lovingly, skillfully, reverently, it is a sacrament. When we do it ignorantly, greedily, destructively, it is a desecration.”
—Wendell Berry

Many in our community know Alec Zeck for his fearless activism in the health freedom movement. As the founder of Health Freedom For Humanity and The Way Forward, he has played an instrumental role in fostering the movement and challenging the mainstream corporate medical narrative with sound logic and reason. We are very happy to have Alec speaking at this year’s Music and Sky about the importance of understanding how actual science is supposed to work!
What is science, really? What is the scientific method? What is evidence? What isn’t evidence? What are logical fallacies? Why do these questions even matter? Alec will share his knowledge of science as a body of knowledge, evidence, the scientific method, and logical fallacies to paint a picture of the level of indoctrination those of us who’ve grown up in the public school system have been exposed to and why we blindly trust others over ourselves.
We can’t think of a more important topic for today’s pseudoscience-run corporate world! If you are a homeschooling parent, this will be an exceptionally important talk to experience and take home to your children’s classroom. 🙏

This panel went deep quickly! Do the farmers realise they themselves are being farmed? How to wake up the farmers to the real agenda behind their struggle? If you're an awake farmer, what should you do to avoid being crushed by the state? https://odysee.com/@SaveOurFood:5/Regenerative-Culture:0

My son got a Batman toy for his bday, but he refuses to call it Batman because he thinks it doesn’t look like the real Batman. So instead he will only refer to it as “the boy with wings.” 🤣🤣🤣

After 9/11, they really needed you to believe in and be perpetually fearful of the elusive, invisible, deadly terrorists that could be anywhere and anyone around you, and that needed to be destroyed by any means necessary, so that you’d be willing to give more of your rights away under the guise of “safety” and “security.”
During COVID, they really needed you to believe in and be perpetually fearful of the elusive, invisible, deadly virus that could’ve already infected anyone around you, and that needed to be destroyed by any means necessary, so that you’d be willing to give more of your rights away under the guise of “safety” and “security.”

“The year is 2026. 4 years ago you followed a random statue account on Instagram with a name you couldn’t really pronounce. Next thing you know you’re committed to a crowdfunding campaign to buy an island by the equator with constant sun. It happened and went swimmingly. The 10,000 coolest people in the world all moved there. Yes, there were hiccups… 4 people brought sunscreen, and another brought seed oils. But you all got to work building a new civilization centered around becoming your highest, healthier, and hottest self. You planted palm trees and had coconut water on tap. Galas were planned for everyone to meet their soulmate. Lots of babies were had. The only news on the island? The new flavor of breast milk ice cream for everyone and who won the competition for best tan. 9-5 jobs were a thing of the past, like a bad dream you woke up from. Everything was bartered for on the island and when we needed to purchase something it was funded by the incredible meat, fruit, and artistic endeavors being produced on the island, sold back to the shoeboxes who remained in modern society. You no longer have to be worried about being poisoned by food, water, or the air. We had a multi million dollar cleanup campaign to make sure everything was pristine.
