Liberty in Our Lifetime: How We Widely Expose Organized Crime “Government”

We have a plan to widely expose the organized crime "government" but we need your help to do it!

By Etienne de la Boetie2

Click HERE to download this letter as a printable, emailable PDF.

Dear Friends of the Art of Liberty Foundation,

This isn’t your usual fundraising appeal. I promise not to insult your intelligence with the tricks and techniques other organizations use in their letters.

All I ask is that you read to the end and evaluate our plan to widely expose the illegitimacy and criminality of monopoly “government,” rather than “voting harder” in obviously and easily rigged elections.

If you are already a subscriber or supporter of the Art of Liberty Foundation, I assume you are what the original Etienne de la Boétie called the “Few.”

In his words:

“There are always a few, better endowed than others, who feel the weight of the yoke and cannot restrain themselves from attempting to shake it off: these are the men who never become tamed under subjection… These are in fact the men who, possessed of clear minds and far-sighted spirit, are not satisfied, like the brutish mass, to see only what is at their feet, but rather look about them, behind and before, and even recall the things of the past in order to judge those of the future, and compare both with their present condition. These are the ones who, having good minds of their own, have further trained them by study and learning. Even if liberty had entirely perished from the earth, such men would invent it. For them slavery has no satisfactions, no matter how well disguised.”

– Etienne de la Boétie (1530–1563), Discourse on Voluntary Servitude

If you see through the propaganda of the mandatory “government” schools and monopoly media and understand the reality of our tax slavery, then I am here to appeal to your own self-interest.

There's Something Suspicious About The Texas Midterm "Blue Wave"

By Tyler Durden, ZeroHedge

On the night of the 2020 Presidential Elections most Americans recall going to bed feeling certain that Donald Trump had pulled off another solid victory.  With Joe Biden drawing mostly small crowds on the campaign trail and spending most of the cycle rarely engaging with the public, it seemed as if Trump was a lock.  

When everyone awoke the next morning, they were shocked to discover that Biden was awash in votes from an overnight spike, largely due to mail-in ballots and absentee ballots (at least, that was the narrative).  Some called it unprecedented, and the shift completely bucked the vote counts that had been trending throughout election day.

The War on Wealth Has Begun

By Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox, Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox... Knowledge is power!

Now that the 2026 elections are behind us, what lies before us is unmistakable. If you think you didn’t like the war in the Middle East, just wait until the war on your “wealth” drops its first bombs. Depending on where you live will determine which battle of the war you are experiencing and how far it has advanced, but make no mistake, the war will touch us all.

Half the country is doing an end-zone war dance, the other half is scratching its weary head. That was some election! But you know what? The numbers are a little. . . queer. I mean queer in the old-school sense. Peculiar. Puzzling. Kind of. . . fishy. . . maybe statistically impossible?
