Who Owns You? My Speech at 'United We Stand' Fest [VIDEO]

In my quest to help wake people up to the reality of the state and central banks, I try to get the message of freedom out to as many as possible. This journey led me most recently to College Station, Texas, to speak at the United We Stand festival over the weekend.

One of the event’s unifying visions is “free and equal elections.” Of course, if you ask me, there is nothing free nor equal about voting for politicians who use violence to enforce your ideas on others.

And, as it turns out, it seems like not many people in this college town really care about democracy either. There was hardly anyone in attendance!

My hope and dream is that any and all political events have the same amount of participation… almost zero!

Though the average young person in Texas probably doesn’t care much about “free and equal” elections… many do still, perhaps unwittingly, support the continuing of incredibly unfree, unequal and corrupt politics as usual, unfortunately.

In any case, while there were maybe a few dozen people who actually attended this rally for electoral reform, my short speech was recorded, so at least my message of ending human slavery can get out to a larger audience.

You can see it here:

I mentioned in my talk how I’m actually thrilled to see that libertarian / voluntaryist gatherings like Anarchapulco are now drawing in thousands of liberty lovers from around the world.

This weekend I’ll be back in the USSA for another freedom conference, Libertopia in San Diego. I have no doubt that this one will be quite well attended… so there is good reason to be hopeful!

In case you haven't heard, democracy is the god that failed. Freedom is popular, and good ideas don’t require force.

WHO OWNS YOU? George Carlin explains..

It always amazes me how the average person and maybe voter, has no idea how the system works! Nor do they care! I have been a life ling student of government and find it facinating how utopian the ideals were and how corrupt they have become. The dogma is so complicated that the average person doesnt have the time weed through the info out there and the fact that civics is no longer taught means that people dont even know they can question whats happening, or who to ask! We are being dumbed down so that we accept more and more government oversite and over reach without question! Get involved people and demand to be heard because its your right as an American! Thanks for the post and fighting the fight @dollarvigilante!

Thanks Jeff let no man stand against you

wtf im from san diego, and its hardly libertopian. Its better than most of california but i'm pretty surprised that theres a libertarian themed event happening there

One of the event’s unifying visions is “free and equal elections.” Of course, if you ask me, there is nothing free nor equal about voting for politicians who use violence to enforce your ideas on others.

It's categorically clear that both are contradictory idea already. Democratically Voting in for a non democratical political leaders or system.
Agree with you totally.

Always a pleasure to support a "Freedom-Brother." If more people would realize they're like that frog in the pot being slowly boiled to death...

Thanks so much for your message Jeff, keep speaking the truth even if there is only 1 person in the crowd, you are making a difference. You might cause 1 person to ask questions and start thinking freely; that is a truly a success.

What a nice post. Thanks for your nice post with nice content....
