VIDEO: Gamer Deletes Government, Accidentally Wins City Simulation

By Jeff Berwick | May 4, 2019

Markets are increasingly state-regulated, distorted and restricted, yet we're warned against “unbridled capitalism.” Well, sometimes truth reveals itself in the most unlikely places. “Today, I want to make a place where there is no laws” — these words sounded innocent enough coming from a gamer by the name of Gray Still Plays. “Everyone just does whatever…

End Game: When Central Banks Own Everything [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | May 1, 2019

Imagine if you and your friends could legally counterfeit money. How long would it take for your group to own everything in existence? Get this! The Bank of Japan bought a record amount of exchange-traded funds in 2018 totaling more than 6 trillion yen. The central bank now owns 77 percent of the nation’s ETF market. Meanwhile the…

You Mad? How To Use Anger For Good [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | April 24, 2019

Can anger change the world? Well, yes, that shouldn’t be a surprise. The more interesting question is: can anger change the world… for the better? When we first launched Anarchapulco, five years ago the energy was admittedly, a bit… dark. Understandably, many of us were outraged, and in some ways still are, about the state…

You Paid The IRS? You Got Scammed [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | April 17, 2019

Taxpayer beware! If you sent money to a shady group known as the Internal Revenue Service recently, or ever, I have bad news… you’ve been scammed. This is not a joke. The truth is, you aren’t really ‘paying’ them, rather, they’re extorting you. If you’re employed in the US, maybe the IRS actually returned a…

Is Being Healthy Illegal In America? The Truth About Stem Cells [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | April 14, 2019

The pharmaceutical industry’s suppression of effective modern remedies is one of the biggest crimes against humanity. Drug lobbyists and politicians have manipulated the healthcare system in most countries so that your pain is their gain. As such, stem cell treatment is highly restricted in the USSA, yet readily available in Mexico. I recently traveled to beautiful Puerto Vallarta…

Secrets Of The State: Privacy To Spy, Steal, Kill [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | April 12, 2019

There is no “free press” in the US or UK. Julian Assange being arrested and dragged from the Ecuadorian Embassy by British police should remind us of this. The sad truth is that any semblance of a Free Press has been dead for years. Enter WikiLeaks. In 2006, Assange founded the non-partisan, multi-national media project he…

Is The US-Mexican Border Really Closing? [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | April 11, 2019

Being stuck in the USSA is something like a worst nightmare for me, yet an influx of people have supposedly been trying to get into the home of the slaves. I recently caught up with my friend Luke Rudkowski before leaving the land of the fees. We were both in Sedona, Arizona (a beautiful place…

Shape Up: If You're Smart, Get Healthy [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | April 7, 2019

It’s no wonder they’re removing recess and gym class from government schools. A happy, healthy, prosperous society requires happy, healthy, prosperous individuals—and those gains begin closest to home, within our own bodies. As if sitting still for 6-8 hours each day regurgitating statist propaganda wasn’t crippling enough, eliminating free play and PE only serves to…

To The Moon: Is Bitcoin Going All The Way Up? [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | April 3, 2019

Can you imagine a future without the internet? I can’t. It’s a bit like trying to imagine a future without cars—they were a revolutionary invention that put the horse and carriage industry (almost) out of the business. Now, sure, at some point cars will become flying vehicles, and who knows, perhaps someday teleportation might even…

When The Currency Crisis Hits Home [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | April 2, 2019

Kerry Lutz has been a student of Austrian Economics since 1977. While attending university, he stumbled upon an extensive cache of Austrian School literature in a dark, musty, abandoned section of the library. Since then, Kerry has interviewed hundreds of financial luminaries. Suffice it to say he has a decent grasp of monetary theory, business…

Blockchain Tech Is Killing Central Banking [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | March 28, 2019

The evolution of Bitcoin is unlike anything we’ve seen in human history. The emergent technology-turned-currency has reshaped everything we know about how people exchange value, all while single-handedly doing more damage to the fiat banksters than anything else. With this lightning-fast progression has come increasing complexity in how the cryptocurrency is sustained and used. To…

Cryptocurrency Will End The Fed, Free The World [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | March 22, 2019

I recently sat down with World Alternative Media during Anarchapulco to discuss a wide variety of topics, from organizational skills for anarchists, and the convenience of free markets vs monopolies, to cryptocurrency and the benefits of blockchain—particularly how it can end monstrous government entities like the Federal Reserve. Overall, I wouldn’t feel as optimistic about…

Live Free Or Die: Anarchist Communities Want Society Without Government [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | March 19, 2019

Fighting for the liberation of all humans isn’t easy. Whether you’re waging war in comments sections or trying to create a real-world libertopian refuge from the state, this quest can seem like an uphill battle. “It’s a long game, it’s not overnight,” said Matt Philips, an integral member of New Hampshire’s Free State Project, in…

Is This The End For Bitcoin? Or Just The Beginning? [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | March 7, 2019

I recently spoke at the North American Bitcoin Conference again, and while the crowd was not as large as last year, the overall message remained relatively the same. December of 2017 may have been the “market top” for bitcoin (at least for a while), but that doesn’t mean the time for cryptocurrency is over. The US national…

Fork Wars: How The Future Of Money Is Decentralized [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | March 1, 2019

Roger Ver began his cryptocurrency journey in early 2011. He was the first person to start actively investing in Bitcoin startups. Fast forward almost a decade, now Ver is the CEO of Bitcoin.com, and the world of crypto is moving fast. It’s not simply a testament to its “volatility”—as the fake news pundits will have…

The World's Premier Liberty Event Is Changing The World [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | February 27, 2019

About a week before Anarchapulco 2019 officially kicked off, tragedy occurred. A young man who was loved by many in the anarchist community here in Acapulco was killed. Stories quickly began to circulate in the “mainstream media” about the murder of John Galton. But what should have been a time for mourning and respect was…

Anarchapulco Speaker David Icke Banned From An Entire Continent

By Jeff Berwick | February 23, 2019

Enemy of the State… It’s not just a 90’s blockbuster film starring Will Smith… in our 21st century Orwellian style government, anyone can be the next target. Since launching The World’s Premier Liberty Event five years ago, I’ve seen first-hand how anyone who makes enough waves in standing up against ‘the powers that shouldn’t be’…

Prepare For The End of Governments, Says Immortal Technique [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | February 11, 2019

“My words will expose George Bush and Bin Laden… as two separate parts of the same seven-headed dragon…” Bold words… especially when you consider they were spoken nearly two decades ago, just a couple years after the staged September 11 attacks—deep in the Orwellian era of the Iraq War. And even more so when you…

The Great Debate Over How To Rescue The World [VIDEO]

By Jeff Berwick | February 7, 2019

Can anarchism save the planet? It’s not unusual for environmentalists to demand—beg—the state for solutions to the woes of climate change, industrial pollution, and deforestation. Those concerned about the fate of the planet may feel so overwhelmed by the massive proportions of a planetary crisis that petitioning the whole body of government for assistance seems…

Can you name 3 things women are naturally better at than men? Go ahead, take your time… Got a few? That was easy, right?
