The Art of Liberty Foundation – Important News
Why (and How!) You Should Help Your Kids Steal Their Student Council Election
By Etienne de la Boetie2, Founder of the Art of Liberty Foundation
Years ago, one of my kids wanted to run for student council… When he announced it, I laughed and told him two stories:
1. The Ridiculousness of “Student Government” – Ed Crane, the founder of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, used to tell the story of running for student government while attending the University of California – Berkley on a platform of eliminating “student government.” One of his arguments was that it was ridiculous on its face. While student-athletes and student-musicians really are athletes and musicians, “student government” is a completely pretend position. There is no actual authority or mandate to do anything other than maybe decide how to spend a token budget on pizza parties and events. The decisions of “student government,” whether at the high school or college level, can be immediately revoked at any time. It is all pretend and simply instituted by the government’s mandatory schools and rip-off universities to indoctrinate the kids into an easily rigged system that is actually against their own interests.
2. How Incredibly Easy it Is to Rig a Student Government Election (or ANY election!) – When I was in high school, I watched one of my classmates (Fox News Political Commentator Hal Lambert) consciously or unconsciously buy/rig a high school election by giving away nachos to all the prospective voters…

Prosecutor Livid After FBI Refused To Pursue ‘Credible’ Biden-Ukraine Corruption Allegations, Grassley Reveals 40 Informants
While January 6th protesters languish in prison for participating in a fed-filled march on the Capitol, the Biden family sits pretty atop their ivory tower as the FBI covers for their multitude of obvious crimes.
In two bombshell reports from Just the News, we learn that not only was a prosecutor livid over the FBI’s “reluctance” to pursue credible claims of corrupt Biden dealings in Ukraine (the thing Democrats impeached Trump for asking about), the agency had evidence from more than 40 informants spanning ‘years of investigation,’ which DOJ and FBI officials sought to undermine, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed in a Wednesday letter.

Daily News Of The Week
John Mauldin: Supercycle of Debt
We have been looking at big historical/economic/political cycles for the past two months. We reviewed Neil Howe’s Fourth Turning concept, then George Friedman’s twin US institutional and socioeconomic cycles, then Peter Turchin’s “cliodynamics” concept, and then Ray Dalio’s Big Cycle.
None of these theories exclude the others. It is quite possible they are describing the same events through different lenses. In any case, they help us understand the times we live in. They are neither predictive nor prescriptive, but descriptive. They look back through history and try to interpret the past to help us understand what might happen in the future. I think all are at least partially correct. That’s disturbing… because in various ways, each points to serious global problems in the next few years.
Today we’ll start wrapping up the series by discussing the Debt Supercycle. I think we’ll probably need a few weeks, but this is important. I don’t want to rush through it.
Dr. Meryl Nass’s Analysis of the October 2023 Negotiating Text of the WHO’s Pandemic Treaty/Agreement
[written by Meryl Nass, MD, October 22, 2023]
First, it should be noted that the names used for this document change with each draft, which is very confusing. The current draft omits the term CA+, and is titled:
Negotiating Text of the WHO convention, agreement or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response
(WHO Pandemic Agreement)
Advanced unedited version – 16 October 2023
This document is very similar to the June 2 “Bureau Draft” of the Treaty.
It needs to be understood that this treaty is based on fantasy, as none of its foundational assumptions is accurate. The Pandemic Treaty intends to create a complicated managerial structure with a new WHO Secretariat and Conference of the Parties to perform activities that have never been shown to prevent or respond to pandemics effectively or provide any other benefits. In fact, these efforts are most likely to increase pandemics and encourage the use of hasty regulatory structures and problematic, liability-waived drugs and vaccines produced too quickly.
The Wise And Brilliant Israel Apologist
I used to be pro-Palestinian, you know. I thought Israel was wrong for carpet bombing Gaza and using siege warfare on civilians.
But then I ran into a very wise Israel apologist who changed my way of looking at things forever.
I was walking down the street and I saw him leaning against a lamp post, smoking a pipe as wise men do.
“Your shirt says Free Palestine,” he said from behind a plume of smoke.
“Yep!” I replied.
“So I guess that means you love Hamas then?” spake he.
I stopped in my tracks. I’d never thought of it that way before.
Could it be? Could my opposition to murdering civilians really be indicative of a deep affection for a Gazan militant group? Maybe I really did love Hamas and think everything it did on October 7 was great and wonderful?
“Is this really how I want to live my life?” I thought to myself.
“I — I — I…” I said out loud.
“Or perhaps,” he said with a raised eyebrow, “you just HATE JEWS??”
I fell to my knees.
List of war crimes and crimes qualifying as genocide committed by Israel in Gaza between 7th & 14th October 2023
Defenders of Israel’s bombing and invasion of Gaza have challenged me to offer a ‘chapter-and-verse’ list of war crimes that Israel has committed since the Hamas Offensive of 7th October. Here is an indicative, but not exhaustive, list. There is no doubt: Israel is investing in war crimes to effect its recapture and ethnic cleansing of Gaza while, at the same time, practising similar tactics in the West Bank and East Jerusalem
Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court – Genocide
Article 6(c): Deliberately inflicting on a group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part
Imposition of a complete siege of the Gaza Strip, totally depriving Gazans of electricity, food and fuel, and tightening even more the existing 16-year-old blockade thereof.[1]
Article 25(3)(c): For the purpose of facilitating the commission of such a crime, aids, abets or otherwise assists in its commission or its attempted commission, including providing the means for its commission
Israel purchases 10,000 riffles for Israeli settlers[2]
Article 25(3)(e): Directly and publicly Incites others to commit genocide
“We are fighting human animals, and we act accordingly” (Israel’s Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant)[3]

Mathematically, Financial System Is Going Down – Bill Holter
Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter warned in August of financial trouble coming to America sooner than later. He gave a long list that now includes a global war. Even without war, there is no stopping the financial fall that is coming. Central banks are, once again, the biggest buyers of gold this year. What is going on? Holter says, “The central banks fully understand the math behind the financial system of the West is broken. The Western financial system cannot survive the math. . . .Once we got to 0% interest rates on the bottom, the rates could not go down any further, and the debt continued to pile up. The U.S. Treasury is going to be paying $1.5 trillion a year just in debt service. That number, a few years ago, had been around $400 billion a year. So, the debt service has quadrupled, and there are no more tricks in the bag.
Holter thinks the Fed is being forced to prop up the dollar and explains, “They have to keep interest rates up; otherwise, the dollar is going to be sold. You are already seeing that in the Treasury markets. . . . That is the reason you are seeing interest rates spike as hard as they have. We are up to about 5% on a 10-year Treasury. . . . Because interest rates are going higher, banks are losing deposits. JPMorgan Chase has lost over a quarter of a trillion dollars in deposits. The whole banking system has lost over a trillion dollars.”
Holter points out that interest rates were effectively 0% not that many years ago. That has changed dramatically with dramatic consequences. Holter says, “We are in the biggest bear market in credit in the history of the world. In other words, we have had more losses in the credit markets than there has ever been in the history of history. The credit bubble has popped.”
New Study: Fluoridated Water Weaken’s Children’s Bones
For over fifty years, there have been concerns that fluoridated water and fluoride from other sources may weaken bones and increase the risk of bone fractures. To date, scientific studies have focused on bone fractures in the elderly, especially hip fractures in older women, which are a leading cause of disability and death. This week, the first scientific study of artificial water fluoridation and broken bones in children was published. The article’s title is “Community Water Fluoridation and Rate of Pediatric Fractures” (Lindsay et al 2023).
Researchers from Oregon Health & Science University found that US states with a high proportion of their population receiving fluoridated water averaged twice the rate of common types of childhood bone fracture as states with relatively little fluoridation. They also looked at the level of fluoride in the water and found that in the group of states with an average concentration of around 0.7 mg/L – the level used in artificial fluoridation – rates of child forearm fractures were 2.5 times greater than in the group of states with the lowest average concentration, which was about 0.4 mg/L.
The study used nationwide bone fracture data from over 100,000 children aged 4 to 10 years old, at the state level, obtained from insurance records. Water fluoridation information came from CDC public data. The authors concluded, “community water fluoridation proportion by both state and fluoridation levels are associated with the increased rate of fracture in children”.

SCOOP: FBI Agent Reveals Smoking-Gun Evidence of Right-Wing Entrapment Operation
Headline USA) In the 1990s, the FBI ran an operation entailing undercover agents and informants posing as right-wing extremists.
Code-named Patriot Conspiracy, or PATCON, the operation was kept secret until well into the 2000s.
After being made public, FBI informant John Matthews, who was involved in PATCON, claimed in 2011 that the operation was designed to provoke right-wing groups to violence. For their part, the Justice Department and FBI vehemently denied Matthews’s allegations, and court records about his claims are still sealed to this day.
However, an obscure book written by FBI informant Dave Hall and his handler agent, Tym Burkey, provides smoking-gun evidence that corroborates Matthews’s allegations.
The book, Into the Devil’s Den—which was published in 2008, before Matthews went public—reveals that PATCON FBI informant Vince Reed attempted to get right-wing dissidents to start a domestic terrorism cell.
Indeed, on page 126 the book quotes then-Aryan Nations member Ray Redfeairn, who told the book’s co-author, Dave Hall, that he suspected that Reed was working for the feds. At the time, Redfeairn was confiding with Hall because he didn’t know Hall was also informant.
“[Redfeairn] told me that Vince Reed had urged them to create the New Order,” Hall wrote in his book. The New Order was intended to be a recreation of The Order, which was a legitimately terroristic right-wing group that robbed banks in the 1980s and was involved in the assassination of a Jewish radio host.
All Wars Are Bankers Wars
The video above features a 2013 documentary, “All Wars Are Bankers Wars,” written and narrated by Michael Rivero,1 founder of whatreallyhappened.com. As explained by Rivero, all wars can be traced back to the private central bankers.
“The more you study this, the more you’ll realize that ALL wars are wars for the private central bankers,” he says. American soldiers have fought and died in wars initiated for no other purpose than to force private central banking on nations that didn’t want them.
Usury — The Birth of Money From Money
The philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) once said:
“The most hated sort [of moneymaking], and with the greatest reason, is usury, which makes a gain out of money itself, and not from the natural use of it. For money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest.
And this term ‘usury,’ which means the birth of money from money, is applied to the breeding of money, because the offspring resembles the parent. Wherefore of all modes of making money this is the most unnatural.”
What Aristotle described is the business model of all central banks. They make money out of thin air by lending money at interest, and in the process, they drain a nation of its wealth. The first bankers war example illustrated in the film is that of the American Revolution, fought between 1775 and 1783.
19,000 ATMs Have Shut Down Across US as the Govt Prepares to Roll Out CBDC Digital Currency
Thousands of ATM cash machines and local bank branches have been closing down as we move toward a cashless society and the government pursues the roll out of digital surveillance and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC). The excuse for shutting down ATMs was to prevent COVID germs from spreading on cash. In the UK, over 8,000 ATMs were shut down, amounting to 13% of all cash machines. In the US, over 19,000 ATMs were shut down and access to cash is becoming more scarce. Catherine Austin Fitts said that unless we have a sovereign state government
protecting sovereign individuals who are free to transact, including transacting privately, without invasive technology, we will have no sovereignty. It will be replaced with central control by the bankers. She said that this technology, combined with other systems, will turn your home, your car and community into a digital concentration camp. It will be the end of human freedom through the financial system.
The Gaza Rebellion
The media magicians certainly know how to keep us guessing. From 9-11, to Covid, to Ukraine, and now Gaza — just as we were piecing together the puzzle of the last world-shaking event, a new one is thrown on the table. It’s as if there were scriptwriters whose job is to keep us on the edge of our chairs, so occupied with new dramas that we have no time to think. The difference is, the story-makers here are using the real world as their stage.
The October 7, 2023 Gaza rebellion against Israel has led to a whirlwind of discussion. Some speculate that it was a plan which would give Israel a justification to invade Gaza, which would in turn bring in Hezbollah, which would bring in Iran, which would bring the US and NATO to attack Iran, which would bring Russia in to defend Iran, and then China to defend Russia. In other words — World War III as a desired goal. This scenario involves secret societies with the power to orchestrate world events down through the centuries, as if they were gods. Indeed, many of the major players in the Great Reset have already shown that they feel that they are gods and can shape the world as they see fit. It will be a hard fall for them — the very definition of hubris, and of insanity.
Justice Thomas’s R.V. Loan Was Forgiven, Senate Inquiry Finds

The terms of the private loan were as generous as they were clear: With no money down, Justice Clarence Thomas could borrow more than a quarter of a million dollars from a wealthy friend to buy a 40-foot luxury motor coach, making annual interest-only payments for five years. Only then would the principal come due.
But despite the favorable nature of the 1999 loan and a lengthy extension to make good on his obligations, Justice Thomas failed to repay a “significant portion” — or perhaps any — of the $267,230 principal, according to a new report by Democratic members of the Senate Finance Committee. Nearly nine years later, after Justice Thomas had made an unclear number of the interest payments, the outstanding debt was forgiven, an outcome with ethical and potential tax consequences for the justice.
Oklahoma Lawmaker Wants ATF Agents Arrested, Prosecuted After Raid On Gun Dealer
Humphrey says that the document he filed – which he collaborated on with the Pushmataha County Sheriff’s office – focuses on the agents who raided the home of FFL holder Russell Fincher.
According to the affidavit, the ATF agents should be investigated for extortion, terroristic threats and misuse of their authority as law enforcement officials, among other charges.
What’s more, weeks after the raid the ATF sent Fincher a list of the 50 confiscated firearms, marked each one down to $10, and allegedly offered him the option of forfeitting them in exchange for a check.
“When you abuse your law enforcement position, I think you ought to be arrested,” Humphrey told the Epoch Times.
Fincher told the outlet: “I just want them to really investigate it,” adding “I feel like there’s no accountability for the ATF.”
An ATF spokesman, Ashley Stephens, told the outlet that the assertion that the ATF is confiscating guns for no reason or offering to sell them back to owners for pennies on the dollar is “a mischaracterization of what happened.”
World’s largest quadcopter drone takes flight
University of Manchester engineers set themselves the task of building and flying the biggest quadcopter drone in history, and to keep things legal with aviation authorities, they made some interesting materials choices.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority allows UAVs with a takeoff weight under 25 kg (55 lb) to fly without special dispensations, so the Manchester team came up with a design that weighed 24.5 kg (54 lb) to sneak under the limit.
The giant quad project started as “a curiosity-driven venture to inspire students’ creativity in design by utilizing a suitable alternative low-cost material for lightweight aerospace structures that is more environmentally friendly than the usual carbon fiber.”
With strong, lightweight carbon off the table, the students settled on a hollow box-frame design built from 5-mm (0.2-in) thick foamboard, which consists of a foam core with paper skin. Sheets of foamboard were laser-cut and hot-glued together to build the frame.
World’s most water-repellent surface surprises its own inventors
Scientists have developed what they call the most water-repellent surface ever. By giving it a liquid-like coating that defies usual designs, water will roll off the surface at angles 500 times shallower than other superhydrophobic materials.
The ability to repel water is important for many materials, particularly in the automotive, marine and aerospace industries. Many superhydrophobic surfaces work by trapping a layer of air or liquid, which causes any water that lands on it to ball up into droplets and roll off more easily. But an emerging technology creates what are called liquid-like surfaces (LLS), which have layers of highly mobile molecules that act like liquids but are tethered to substrates so they don’t escape. The end result is like a lubricated surface that water slides right off.
In the new study, scientists at Aalto University in Finland developed a new LLS out of molecules called self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) coating a silicon substrate. By tuning conditions like the temperature and water content in the reactor during production, the team could control how much of the silicon the SAMs covered.
When the SAMs covered much of the surface, it became superhydrophobic, causing water to form droplets and roll off. That in itself was to be expected – but to the surprise of the researchers, low SAM coverage also made for a slippery surface. And it did so without the water beading, which has long been thought to be necessary for superhydrophobicity.
Proven ADULTERATION of COVID jabs means Americans can now SUE vaccine manufacturers – and FDA is REQUIRED to take action by pulling them from market
Contrary to popular belief, it is actually now possible to sue the pharmaceutical companies responsible for these adulterated injections, the mRNA varieties of which were found to contain plasmid bioactive contaminant sequences that were never revealed to regulatory authorities prior to their emergency use authorization (EUA) and later approval.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was never told by Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna that their respective messenger RNA shots are contaminated with these foreign, toxic substances. As such, anyone can now sue these vaccine manufacturers – and according to the law, the FDA must respond by pulling these deadly drugs off the market.
According to Kirsch, the Michigan remdesivir case sets an important precedent for all this in that it has shown that the liability shield afforded by Big Pharma disintegrates the moment any undisclosed contamination of the jabs’ active ingredients is proven.
“The FDA is now at a crossroads,” Kirsch says. “Either they admit that they knew about the plasma contamination, and failed to disclose that to the public and to the outside committees, or they can claim that they didn’t know about it in which case Pfizer is liable.”
Watch: Wisk Aero’s Self-Flying Air Taxi Completes Its First Public Flight in L.A.
Wisk Aero just reached another major milestone.
The American outfit is the first to fly an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) air taxi in the greater Los Angeles area, according to a statement shared on Monday. The public demonstration, which took place at Long Beach’s Festival of Flight on October 21, proved that autonomous passenger flights could soon become a reality.
Wisk actually conducted a number of test flights at Long Beach Airport throughout the month of October to see how the eVTOL would perform in a complex commercial airport. It has quite a comprehensive test program, in fact, with more than 1,700 test flights completed to date. It recently carried out the world’s first public demonstration of an autonomous eVTOL fixed-wing aircraft, too.
Prosecutor Livid After FBI Refused To Pursue ‘Credible’ Biden-Ukraine Corruption Allegations, Grassley Reveals 40 Informant

US Warplanes Conduct Major Strikes On ‘Iranian Proxies’ In Syria
Update(22:25ET): In the overnight and early morning hours in Syria (local time), US forces carried out airstrikes on what it said are Iran-linked militants and installations in eastern Syria. Multiple targets have been hit.
According to a statement by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, “Today, at President Biden’s direction, U.S. military forces conducted self-defense strikes on two facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups.” The attacks were reportedly done by US warplanes, likely operating out of either the Gulf or Mediterranean areas where new US naval assets have recently been positioned, keeping a watch on fast moving events in Gaza. Fox issued the following breaking detail:
F-16s and F-15s were used to strike targets in Syria earlier tonight in retaliation for the attacks on US troops in the region.
Earlier in the day there were reports, though with few details, that US forces in the same northeast region of Syria came under attack, as has been happening in the last several days. The Pentagon had also earlier announced that over a dozen US troops in Iraq and Syria have suffered Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in the aftermath of drone and rocket attacks on US bases in the region.
Watch: Senator Accuses Biden Admin Of “Facilitating The Largest Child Trafficking Ring In American History”
Hawley grilled Office of Refugee Resettlement Director Robin Dunn Marcos, noting that trafficking of migrant children has skyrocketed under Biden.
The New York Times recently reported that the Department of Health and Human Services has completely lost content with at least 85,000 UACs since they were released to adult sponsors.
“How many kids, right now, of the 430,000 approximately unaccompanied children who have crossed the border under this administration — it’s an astounding number — how many are you in regular contact with right now?” Hawley asked the official.
After attempting to skirt around the answer, Marcos said “I don’t have the specific number.”
“How can you not know? Why would you come to this hearing and not know?” an astounded Hawley replied.
The Senator continued, “Respectfully, I would like you to do your job and not release children to human traffickers. Respectfully, that’s what I would like. I would like you to not facilitate the largest child trafficking ring in American history.”
Marcos also could not give any details of how many background checks are carried out on adult sponsors.
Forensic accounting expert: HALF of pandemic relief funds ended up in the hands of America’s ENEMIES
Forensic accounting expert Linda Miller dropped this bombshell when she testified before members of Congress on Oct. 19. She read in a prepared testimony during the House Ways and Means Committee’s Oversight Subcommittee hearing that up to half of pandemic relief fund money was stolen by U.S. adversaries.
“Data on this is still being evaluated, but there are some estimates that half of the pandemic unemployment assistance [money obtained through] fraud went to adversarial nations,” she stated. “Agencies were unprepared for the fraud they encountered largely due to a lack of attention to fraud risks.”
“The nearly $5 trillion in government relief spending during the COVID-19 pandemic – much of which was disbursed as direct payments to citizens – created the perfect storm for fraud. A combination of inadequate oversight and internal controls, large-scale organized fraud rings and antiquated data and information systems contributed to the massive, widespread fraud we saw during the pandemic.”
Miller’s comments came in reply to the question of Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) regarding a group of hackers with links to the Chinese government that were prosecuted for stealing an estimated $20 million in relief funds. The whistleblower is no stranger to fraud investigations, having served as the former deputy executive director of the Department of Justice‘s (DOJ) Pandemic Response Accountability Committee and the former assistant director of the Government Accountability Office‘s (GAO) Forensic Audits and Investigative Service (FAIS).
Free Palestine, Free Israel, Free Us All
Yesterday I published an article titled “The Gaza Rebellion” by Richard Hugus. His closing sentence is the simple statement: “Free Palestine!”.
Last night and this morning, I received a number of emails from highly intelligent, aware readers who expressed disappointment that I would publish something where someone had taken a “side” in the Israeli/Palestinian situation.
A few told me they thought the article was hate speech. Others told me I was stuck in duality. Some, standing with Israel, sent Bible quotes and predictions from prophets. Others were dismayed that the article didn’t point out that both sides of the conflict are being played.
As I read their words, I could see why some of them challenged the publishing of this article at Truth Comes to Light. I appreciate and respect that they took the time out to let me know how they perceived the article.
From Richard’s previous writing, it’s clear that he understands the globalist agenda — that the globalist puppetmasters are manipulating the entire situation, not just with Israel and Palestine but throughout the world. As reference, see some of Richard’s work here, here, here, here and here. (I’ve since gone back and added a “see related” section under the “The Gaza Rebellion” article so that readers can easily find his other work.)
“The Hamas Attack”: What Really Happened on October 7?
Accounts of the Israeli death toll have been filtered and shaped to suggest that a wholesale civilian massacre occurred that day, with babies, children, and women the main targets of a terror attack.
Now, detailed statistics on the casualties released by the Israeli daily Haaretz paint a starkly different picture. As of 23 October, the news outlet has released information on 683 Israelis killed during the Hamas-led offensive, including their names and locations of their deaths on 7 October.
Of these, 331 casualties – or 48.4 percent – have been confirmed to be soldiers and police officers, many of them female. Another 13 are described as rescue service members, and the remaining 339 are ostensibly considered to be civilians.
While this list is not comprehensive and only accounts for roughly half of Israel’s stated death toll, almost half of those killed in the melee are clearly identified as Israeli combatants.
There are also so far no recorded deaths of children under the age of three, which throws into question the Israeli narrative that babies were targeted by Palestinian resistance fighters.
Of the 683 total casualties reported thus far, seven were between the ages of 4 and 7, and nine between the ages of 10 and 17. The remaining 667 casualties appear to be adults.
Contraceptive and Harmful Antibiotics Found in Top Ten Fast Food Samples
Fast food is consumed by eight-five million Americans each day, and many chains are the primary suppliers of many school lunches. Thirty million school meals are served to our children each day, and for millions of underprivileged children, these toxic meals are their only access to nutrition. Previous testing has shown that America’s school lunches are, indeed, toxic.
To further investigate the status of a major source of food and nutrition for children as well as adults in America, Moms Across America and its supporters commissioned, with support from Children’s Health Defense and the Centner Academy, extensive testing on 21 of the country’s most popular fast food brands. The 21 brands include the top 20, as rated by the QSR50, as well as In-N-Out Burger, which came in as #33 but was included in the testing because of its frequent claims to be a “healthier” version of fast food). In all, forty-two samples of fast food meals gathered from 21 locations nationwide were tested by the Health Research Institute. The brands were tested for veterinary drugs and hormones, glyphosate and pesticides, heavy metals, phthalates, PFAS, minerals, vitamins, and calories.

Free State Project Corner
New Hampshire Bill Could Trigger Secession If National Debt Reaches $40 Trillion
In a move that underscores the state’s deep concern over the escalating national debt, State Representative and FSP member Jason Gerhard (R – Merrimack 25) has sponsored a groundbreaking bill. This legislation, if passed, would allow voters to amend the New Hampshire Constitution, declaring that the state will secede from the United States should the national debt reach a staggering $40 trillion. Currently, the debt sits at $33 trillion.
Representative Gerhard stated, “The federal government’s decision to saddle countless future Americans with an astronomical debt is not just an economic concern, but a moral one. Why should the people of New Hampshire bear the brunt of financial decisions they had no part in making? Why should we have to continue living under a federal government that is so broken that it can’t solve the economic crises facing us every single day? It’s high time we in New Hampshire consider putting our state’s interests at the forefront. If that means contemplating a future outside of the United States, then we owe it to ourselves to have that discussion.”
Pre-State Project – How You Can Help
Free State Project Corner – The Free State Project is moving 20,000+ libertarians to New Hampshire with the goal of reducing “Government” to just protecting life, liberty and property. We are supporting and reporting on this dynamic. If you have heard Etienne talk about the plan to accelerate this dynamic by dropping 100,000 copies of “Government”, the 64GB Liberator and a TBD documentary to the influential in the state and want more details in our Executive Summary.

Mr. Boetie² is also the founder of a start-up public policy organization: The Art of Liberty Foundation that is developing voluntary and free market solutions to social issues while exposing the illegitimacy and criminality of “government”, and the hidden curriculum of organized crime’s mandatory government schools, scouting programs, and police/military “training”: The pseudo-religion of Statism, obedience, fealty, “order-following” and tax slavery.
