Hello from beautiful Acapulco Bay,
It's so nice to be "home". I think I have been in Acapulco for about seven days total in the last two months. Every time I return here the kids are bigger, and have learned something new and unexpected and are almost like totally different (but even better) people. Our last baby dog, Lara the boxer, is bigger as she is almost a year old now. And, my wife and I even had a strange conversation last night about how it feels odd to be together because we are apart so much. She changes all the time too. Apparently, since I last really spent some time with her she has decided to become a professional bodybuilder and the kitchen is full of protein supplements. We almost have to get to know each other again… a strange feeling because we have been together for five years now.
I think I am changing too. I turn 43 tomorrow. I actually feel like a man now. Until the last year or so I still felt like a boy… and quite often acted like it. I still have a lot of fun, but I enjoy times with great liberty loving people around the world and some drinks and enjoy watching them develop and try to add some small value to everyone I meet. I never knew growing up and being a man could be so enjoyable. Life is full of surprises. Oddly, now with some grey hairs, a wedding ring and grown-up clothes I appear to be more attractive to females than ever. Right at the moment when that isn't that important to me anymore. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the attention… I think everyone does. But for my first 40 years, since I was 13, I wanted that kind of attention desperately and rarely received it. Now that I do, it isn't that important to me.
Life is funny.
Adding to the changes, a twenty-year-old girl is living in my house. I am so busy and have so much trust and confidence with my wife that I didn't even really ask for a few days. Finally, I mentioned it, "Who is this girl who lives in our house?"
She told me that she had been having some family problems and my wife knew her from her twice daily gym visits and she offered for her to stay with us until she could find work and figure her life out.
Oh, and we apparently have a new dog now.
Apparently his name was Jerry.
After fighting back my natural instinct to hug it and say "awww" for a few minutes I said, "Schatz!" (my wife lived in Germany for nearly 10 years and we speak a mix of Spanish and German… and English if she has had some drinks). Schatz, by the way, is similar to "dear" or "love".
She knew what I was going to say, but I said it anyway.
"We already have 6 things, 7 including the new girl, living in our house!" I said.
She was already nodding. It can be chaos in our bedroom when some noise, like a cat in our yard, whips our four dogs into a frenzy… we've already discussed that we may already have too many dogs… but can't possibly give any of them up.
She told me that she and our new houseguest were walking outside the gym and found this few-day-old puppy in a cardboard box, obviously abandoned. I understood… I could have done nothing else but take him home either. But we can't keep adding dogs just because they are so cute!
She agreed and told me that our new houseguest has already claimed him and once she finds a place to live he'll be going with her.
In the meantime, Lara, our female boxer pup seems to have claimed him as they play all day (which seems quite scary at times as Lara is about 70 pounds and Jerry is about 0.5 pounds) and they sleep together, with Jerry nustled up under Lara.
I can, at times, get lost in the beauty of my life here in Acapulco. It is full of beautiful, free people and dogs in a surrounding that is nothing less than pure paradise. A town in Mexico in this state just took up arms and ran the government out of town. I like it. But, then I go on my laptop and hear about what is going on elsewhere!
JFK MURDER 50TH ANNIVERSARY
I was in New York City last week when Luke Rudkowski of We Are Change invited me to join him on a trip to Dallas for the 50th anniversary of the JFK murder. By the way, I don't call it an assassination because, as Chris Rock once said:
"Tupac Shakur was assassinated, Biggie Smalls assassinated, struck down by assassins' bullets … no, they wasn't. Martin Luther King was assassinated, Malcolm X was assassinated, John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Them two niggas got shot! Shit, I love Tupac, I love Biggie, but school will be open on their birthday."
Chris Rock is, to put it kindly, a house nigger with obvious daddy issues and actually has been quoted as saying "Obama is our boss, the dad of the country", to which our own darker-skinned fellow here at TDV, Gary Gibson, so well retorted (read here).
But, he had a point in a way. Using the word "assassinated" somehow applies some special status to the murder of certain people. And the last person you should weep for, when killed, is a politician. There should be a word or phrase when politicians get shot… I nominate, "he was put down".
So, on this anniversary of JFK being put down I had to cordially refuse the offer to attend… mostly just because I missed home. There is no question, just as with 9/11 that there was much more going on there than the government or media report. Prior Anarchast guest (see phenomenal interview here), James Corbett, put out a video today to tell of the hilariousness of the "official story".
In any case, I didn't go to Dallas, but my email box has been blowing up from people like Luke Rudkowski, others and a good TDV friend, whom I wrote about when I was last in the Louisiana/Texas area (see here), Kevin S.
Kevin is working on an article for the TDV blog on Monday about his experience. To preface, Kevin is your quintessential, stereotypical (no disrepect), Texan. A young man, you never see him without a cigar in his mouth (often unlit, thanks to anti-smoking laws in the land of the free) and an oil man from a well-to-do oil family. I've had the pleasure of staying at his house in Texas and drinking scotch until the sun comes up.
He just wrote to me about what occurred in Dallas this weekend. "This was the most peaceful group of people and not making trouble in any way. This was absolutely the most insane thing I have ever seen in my 42 years. And believe me, I've seen some crazy shit."
He'll be writing more on it this week, but I have seen some of the videos and heard about Alex Jones getting punched in the gut, other peaceful JFK anniversary protestors getting punched in the face, and an all-round police state attack… at a rally about a 50-year-old murder! Here was one of the videos from friend Luke Rudkowski (who will be a special guest on episode 100 of Anarchast next week).
I have heard and seen much more graphic accounts of what happened there this weekend.
Kevin S. went on to say, "It's even worse here than I thought. I only thought it was bad but this took it to a whole new level I didn't want to believe."
I told him and have been telling people for years that the police state is in full effect in the US and to just get out. It appears now that Kevin may be soon taking those words into action.
I know what a lot of people are now thinking. "Berwick is a coward. He is telling people to run."
I'm not telling you to do anything. You own your own life and choices. But to stay and fight at this point is… pointless. Police now have tanks, hollow point bullets, drones… the fight has unquestionably already been lost, with extreme prejudice. You can stay and become a statistic. I will honor and comment on your death or incarceration into a FEMA camp, but once you´re gone, you´re gone.
Not to mention, the general populace, including the people in Dallas this weekend, won't even raise a fist when a cop punches a peaceful person. The most they do is chant, "shame on you". Which, actually, makes sense from a personal perspective. Because if they did raise a fist, they'd be stomped down brutally. Down here, in the deep south of Mexico, if a cop did anything to a peaceful person, the whole town would chop off all the cops' heads (I think it´s an Aztec thing) and burn down the police station. And then, in the US, they'd put out a travel advisory. Mexico is dangerous, they kill cops!
Sigh.
Seriously, though, if you want a world that is peaceful and prosperous, the only way to win is through non-violence and a complete refusal of government… which means not paying taxes (which you can still do mostly legally, contact TDV Offshore or TDV Wealth Management) and not respecting their "authority", peacefully. Like this man (see video here, must see)! We can get there. It is not going to be an easy road, but the more we spread this message the better off we will all be.
And with that, I am heading home from my beach bar, Mango´s. And, for a while, I will be amongst the things I love who have no knowledge of the craziness in the "land of the free and the home of the brave".
I am going to have a hard time seeing Jerry go… I want to spend some time with him and all the other beautiful, free things in my life. I hope you can find your own peaceful, beautiful place in the world (feel free to join us in Acapulco or at Galt's Gulch Chile). If you are in the US I think that is going to be harder and harder.
