Dear Subscribers,
The #1 story this week is the replay of our livestream on Finding (OR Creating!) The Freedom Movement in Your Community. If you don't already have some "Freedom Friends" in your town then we have some tips on how to find them (Tip #1: Check the Liberty Groups page on the Art of Liberty Foundation website at ArtOfLiberty.org/Liberty-Groups/).
If you have a Liberty Group (OR know of a Liberty Group) that is not on our list, then please e-mail me at Etienne (at) ArtOfLiberty.org and we will add it! I threw some pictures and videos into the article from when we were fighting the scam of "The Covid" in Santa Cruz, California exposing empty hospitals, reopening businesses and parks, supporting restaurants trying to reopen, and forcing the city to abandon its policy of closing the beaches with beach parties and liberty bonfires until they caved in and told the LA Times that "The people refuse to be governed in this manner."
I also included a video from Peggy Hall, The Healthy American where she covered our mask-less cash drops that generated MILLIONS of views and helped other communities to say: NO! to the slave mask! This is why it is so important to have a freedom group in your town to rally with when the organized crime "government" tries to pull some tyranny!
Finally, I did a quick story about the 5th anniversary of the death of my friend Johnny "Hero" Hurley who risked his life to engage and neutralize an active shooter only to be shot in the back and killed by an idiot cop who shot first without properly understanding the situation and wasn't charged with murder.
Finally, the Free State Project's Porcupine Freedom Festival (PorcFest) kicks off this week in New Hampshire. Read my article: New Hampshire's Free State Project – How Freeing a Single State from "Government" Could Free Us All, to understand the "Big Idea" behind the Free State Project. Read my article: What is the Deal with the Free State PARTY in New Hampshire? To understand how it is being attempted to be divided and conquered… If you have ever wanted to go and visit New Hampshire, then this is the opportunity!

From Isolation to Action: Finding (OR Creating!) The Freedom Movement In Your Community
The Replay of our June 14th Live Stream on Finding (OR Creating!) The Freedom Movement in YOUR Community! Liberty Group List at: ArtOfLiberty.org/Liberty-Groups/
Etienne: Hi, this is Etienne De La Boétie2 with the Art of Liberty Foundation. Welcome to our Sunday night live stream, which is something I think we're going to begin doing more and more of. For those that aren't familiar with the Art of Liberty Foundation, we are a startup public policy organization exposing the illegitimacy and the criminality of government. Essentially, our thesis is that government was never intended to protect life, liberty, and property. Government is best thought of as a technique for robbing and controlling society. And as voluntarists, we don't believe that government is legitimate, desirable, or necessary. So we are advocates of something called real freedom, and there is a real freedom movement all around the world. In some cities and towns it is much stronger than others, but there are voluntarists and libertarian and freedom-oriented groups all around the United States.

Three Disturbing Trends in Car Ownership. By LawyerLisa
1. The Subscription Model (0:44 - 4:21): Automakers like BMW, GM, Ford, and Tesla are increasingly locking hardware features (such as heated seats, remote start, or self-driving capabilities) behind monthly or annual subscription fees, even though the physical hardware is already installed in the vehicle at the factory. 2. The Right to Repair Lockout (4:22 - 9:12): Manufacturers are utilizing proprietary software and complex diagnostic systems to prevent independent mechanics and owners from performing basic repairs. By requiring dealer-only tools and software authorization, they effectively create a monopoly on vehicle service. 3. Mandated Remote Control (9:13 - 13:06): Federal mandates (such as the Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act) require new vehicles to include passive monitoring systems and "kill switches" intended for impaired driver prevention. The video warns that this infrastructure, which can track biometrics and disable engines, creates a massive potential for surveillance and misuse.
LowKey Exposes Israel's $14B Plot to Control TikTok to Algorithmically Suppress Evidence of Genocide
CIA Contractor Larry Ellison's Oracle is the Lead Funder / Algorithmic Censor
Etienne Note: This article also appears in "Government", Media and Academia Criminality Exposed, A digest of HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of articles exposing and suggesting inter-generational organized crime's control of the "Government," Media and Academia by the Art of Liberty Foundation.

By Lowkey - Double Down News, adapted by Etienne de la Boetie2
The landscape of digital expression experienced a fundamental shift following a critical realization by the Western ruling class and the Zionist lobby: they were losing the information war. As millions of young people used TikTok to witness and share the raw, unfiltered realities of apartheid and violence in real time—completely unburdened by the editorial filters of traditional legacy media—the organic solidarity of an entire generation became viewed as an ideological national security threat. Despite public claims by U.S. lawmakers feigning concern over data privacy and Chinese surveillance, internal anxieties were driven entirely by the viral prevalence of pro-Palestinian content. This ideological battle was explicitly highlighted in late 2025 when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly declared to a room of social media influencers that social media is the most vital battlefield in modern warfare.

Trump's Family Crypto Firm Is Expected to Get Federal Banking Privileges
Trump-appointed bank regulators' crypto-friendly approach is likely to extend to World Liberty Financial, despite ethics concerns.
By Jeff Stein, NOTUS
President Donald Trump's family crypto business is expected to soon be allowed to operate like a bank — a decision that would give U.S. companies a new route to steer money to the president. World Liberty Financial, the stablecoin and trading platform co-founded by Trump and his three sons, applied for a national trust bank charter with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or OCC, on Jan. 5. The Trump-appointed head of the OCC, Jonathan Gould, is due to announce his decision soon, and industry experts and congressional aides expect it to go in the Trump family's favor.

It seems impossible — or just too revolting — to keep up with the financial hanky-panky of California Gov.
By Tyler Durden for ZeroHedge
Authored by Stephen Green via PJMedia.com. It seems impossible — or just too revolting — to keep up with the financial hanky-panky of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and First Partner (gag) Jennifer Siebel Newsom. But thanks to a couple of investigative reporters with stronger stomachs than I have, let's see if I can't put everything you need to know into one easily digestible column.
