One of the main things that has always bothered me about the anarchist/libertarian community is the lack of focus on actionable solutions to find freedom now–the focus is improving, but there’s still plenty of work to be done. And, sure, the philosophy is important and I’m not discounting that, but anarchism is a radical ideology–and radical action necessarily follows.

One individual who has been partaking in said radical action is Derrick Broze. Not only is he an open agorist, but he has been building local alternatives to statist institutions since he helped found the Houston Free Thinkers in 2010; some of his successes include a bustling counter-economy in Houston, community gardens, workshops teaching others how to partake in direct action, organizing freedom cells, and much more.

Derrick and his co-author, John Vibes, recently released the capstone book in their trilogy called Manifesto of the Free Humans. In this book, they lay out the over-arching strategy in how to bring about personal freedom, as well as a free society, and I’ll tell you what, I absolutely love it.

Building off of the foundation Samuel Edward Konkin III left, the goal is to create their own intentional community in Texas sometime in the year 2020. Following that, they hope others will emulate their example to create a wide counter-economic network of these communities. But, if the intentional community is not for you, other solutions are offered within and can be based upon the same framework.

In this interview, we cover all of those things and more–you’re going to want to check it out. Please enjoy, share, and let us know what you think!

When I first became politically aware at the mere age of 18, the innocence of my past disappeared completely. My time was dominated by conspiracy theories, investigating secret societies, and trying to uncover who was trying subjugate the masses of the world behind the scenes.

From that perspective, any effort but education seemed quite futile, and even then, these were the theories of “conspiracy kooks.” And, understandably, most folks didn’t give them the time of day.

Desperate to find a solution to the problem that I perceived, I got involved with the highly dangerous “sovereign citizens”–these are the folks who notoriously get tossed in prison for using already debunked (and illegal) methods, such as filing commercial liens on properties of government agents.

Luckily, I escaped unscathed, except for the exorbitant amount of time I wasted in yet another failed strategy.

At that time, I was still a Constitutionalist, but I saw a number of glaring issues with that magic piece of parchment; I didn’t know what to do; I didn’t know what action I would recommend my readers and listeners to partake in, other than to “wake up the sheeple.”

In a word, I was completely and utterly lost.

But, that all changed when I discovered direct action in late 2015.

Listen, I obviously want to find more personal freedom utilizing direct action, but I want you too as well. That is why I’ve devoted most of my time and effort over the last 18 months to investigating the subject, and why I make all of my discoveries available FOR FREE.

I want YOU to succeed and to not have to deal with all of the trials and tribulations that I went through.

I value your time, and for that, I have condensed the most important takeaways in this interview on Philip Frey’s podcast.

When we listen to podcasts we love, it’s always nice to get an insight into the lives behind those who produce the content–they may be selling a product, providing a service (such as information/education/entertainment), or whatever, but it’s always nice to find out who you’re “buying” from, even if that price is not in monetary terms. For that reason, as well as being newly minted on Truth Frequency Radio, we decided it would be nice to “interview each other” and dig into just what exactly got us to where we are today.

In this episode, Jason interviews Shane–topics include what all he does in the alternative media, what originally motivated him to start the show, his path to anarchism, and what he wants his audience to take away from his work.

We understand this a slight detour from the content we usually put out, but we had fun making it, and hope you have fun listening to it.

Note: It’s just as odd to be interviewed on your own podcast, as it is to talk about yourself in the third person.

On this episode of Liberty Under Attack Radio, we are pleased to welcome the one-and-only Ben Stone to the program. We discuss his book and one aspect I disagree with him on (that is, peaceful parenting being a subset of agorism), why secession is not only worthless, but counter-productive, why killing government agents is a necessary prerequisite to a peaceful society, and his new entrepreneurial venture, Freedom Bed and Breakfast (now Room for Freedom).

Note: This podcast is in line with the decision in the Brandenburg v. Ohio case, 395 US 444 (1969)–there is no incitement and no targeting of specific individuals, and is thereby free speech.

On this episode of Liberty Under Attack, we talk direct action once again. I start by laying out the issues with living on land, such as taxes/regulations, governments claiming ownership/jurisdiction over the large majority of it, more contact with the bludgies (aka government agents), and more. I then lay out some possibilities of subverting those issues, while still living on land.

But, for those who are open to the idea finding freedom on the open ocean, I then lay out a number of ways to find freedom on the high seas, which include: minimalist sailboating, dropping anchor right into international waters, living on a deserted island, living on a submarine, and much more. What’s even more significant is the minimal sacrifice that is needed to pursue these options–advancements in technology allow you to still have many of the amenities you currently have.

As an aside, this was also our inaugural episode on Truth Frequency Radio! This will be huge for LUA as they have one of the largest listening audiences for alternative media.

Please enjoy, share, and leave us a positive review on iTunes if you feel so inclined.

On this edition of Liberty Under Attack, I cover Troy Southgate’s responses and critiques of our episode series on National Anarchism. Troy is one of the main proponents of this school of thought and his post provided an opportunity for further discussion.

Still, the core disagreements remain, but I respect him for his rational, reasoned reply, rather than the hatred and vitriol that I have recieved from, say, the “sovereign citizens.” Please enjoy, share, and connect with us!

On this episode of Liberty Under Attack, we welcome back Jaime Sherman, the founder of the Voluntaryist Comic Books, to discuss Voluntaryist Origins, the newest installment of the series. He fills us in on how Captain Voluntaryist came to the philosophy, how culture jamming furthers the cause of freedom, and what we can expect in the future. We conclude by discussing his next project, namely taking down the public schools.

Please enjoy the discussion, contribute to the IndieGoGo campaign, and share this podcast far and wide!

On this edition of Liberty Under Attack Radio, Jason and Shane catch-up and discuss a better version of Uber and Lyft called LibreTaxi. LibreTaxi is not only the more privacy friendly option, but it can also be a route to passive income and/or black/grey market trading, not to mention the advantages you could see as a consumer (i.e. passenger)! All it takes now is adoption. Please enjoy and share!

On this episode of Liberty Under Attack, I am once again joined by our creative consultant, Kyle Rearden. The foundation of this episode is George H. Smith’s article titled Can Abolitionists Vote or Take Office Under the United States Constitution? It is part of an ongoing series, wherein Smith discusses the abolitionist movement and their arguments against political action.

That said, it was just the foundation–this episode was completely free-flow, other than the few excerpts read out of the article, and it honestly did go all over the place; more on that in the introduction to the episode. Topics discussed include: social contract theory, anarchist politicians, further arguments against voting, and much, much more.

If you enjoy this style of podcasts, please let me know and we will do more like them. Please enjoy and share this around!
