Hey everybody, Jason Burmes here and for the next half hour or so we are going to be getting into homesteading, the true sustainability of the individual and even central bank digital currencies with somebody who's been in the game for well over a decade at this point, John Bush.
And John, it is a pleasure to have you on the program for my audience that may not be familiar with your work.
How did you get into this space and then evolve into now live free dot academy?
Sure.
Well, I've been an activist for truth and freedom and peace for just about 20 years now.
And I actually cut my teeth like yourself on the 9-11 truth stuff.
Caught a documentary by old Alex Jones in 2002 on Austin cable access, right?
That's where he was pumping out the show back in the day, 9-11 Road of Tyranny.
And that kind of led me down a rabbit hole, researching the conspiracy, all that good stuff.
Learned about libertarianism from Ron Paul, got involved in his presidential campaign, and then did political activism for several years.
But it wasn't satisfactory for me because while we did have what seemed as victories, in reality, we were merely slowing the growth of tyranny, not creating real freedom for ourselves.
That's when I shifted the focus towards the creation of alternative institutions, agorism.
We started this freedom cell network, and we've gotten into homesteading.
And now we're helping people to create more freedom in their lives through entrepreneurship, cryptocurrency, and helping people to exit the systems that are corrupt, centralized, manipulated, and build new systems.
So hopefully we can have some lasting freedom for generations to come.
And one of the things that I focus on, especially today, is the fact that all of these things are coming at you.
You have to find a way to navigate these situations and become as independent as possible.
And obviously, one of the roads to that is to be food independent.
And another road to that is building a community around you, being aware of your friends, family, and neighbors, and working in unison with them as much as possible.
Can you speak to those things?
Yeah, well, you really hit the nail on the head.
It's important to study the conspiracy, but a lot of folks just get caught in this trap of going down the rabbit hole for the sake of the rabbit hole.
And then oftentimes they try to shove a red pill down their family's throat and end up tearing up relationships.
In reality, let us study the conspiracy so as to better navigate around it, so as to insulate ourselves from it.
And then let's come up with a blueprint with a plan to create real freedom.
And nothing could be more important than becoming more self-sufficient, becoming more self-reliant.
And of course, there is strength in numbers.
So we recently did this big event, the Exit and Build Land Summit.
We had 450 people in person here in Central Texas.
We had like 28,000 people registered, thousands watching live online.
And it was all about how can we help people, empower people to exit the cities, buy land, and build community in the country, right?
Maybe you just do the homestead, but you link up with your neighbors.
This guy's got the tractor.
They got the chickens.
This family is leading the homeschool co-op.
Or perhaps you cooperatively buy land to lower the cost burden and do the intentional community thing where you can really build a tribe of people that support one another.
So they're trying to break us apart.
They're trying to herd people into compact cities.
It's important that we recognize this whole smart city, great reset technocracy is going to be most effective, most powerful in the cities.
So as free people, let's do the opposite of what Agenda 21 wants us to do.
Let's go populate the country and let's connect with one another, support one another, trade with one another.
And I think that's the best thing we could do to hopefully overcome this agenda.
For ourselves, at least, it may carry out and be rolled out for the masses, but who says we have to participate?
Absolutely.
And one of the things that I believe empowers us as individuals is a physical currency that allows us to make transactions between individuals, barter between individuals.
And that's something that is actively being worked against with these central bank digital currencies, in which you would have a centralized currency that the state or a government apparatus at the end of the day would be in control of and would know of all of these transactions.
So speak to that and those dangers, where if those get put into place, we would only have a system of barter, of not just goods and services and not a currency to act as the middleman and how dangerous that really is.
Yeah, I'm very concerned with the central bank digital currency scheme.
It's most definitely getting rolled out all across the world, and they're studying it and getting ready to implement it here in the United States.
So it's fundamental that the free people of the world come together now and come up with solutions now preemptively.
We saw what took place in Canada, a so-called liberal democracy, which of course is a fraud.
They literally shut down people's bank accounts for supporting a peaceful freedom movement, just a peaceful protest.
That can happen everywhere, and it's going to be even easier to do with the central bank digital currencies.
So there's three things I encourage people to do as a form of resistance, but more importantly, as a proactive way to build this community, these networks.
The first thing is people should highly consider becoming entrepreneurs, working for themselves, being in control of their own financial world.
I think they'll probably put pressure on the big corporations and big businesses to start paying their people through these central bank digital currencies.
They always have these little clever pain points that they leverage, right?
So we need to recognize that and ask what can we do to become independent of that.
Like I have a staff of four full-time people.
None of them have to worry about ever having to do any medical procedures.
They don't have to worry about having to wear a mask or anything, right?
So that's the first thing.
Consider entrepreneurship or at least work for a like-minded, freedom-minded company.
There's so many of them out there these days.
Our movement has grown immensely.
And then the second thing is I highly encourage people to learn how to use privacy-based, decentralized cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrency isn't the be-all-end-all.
We ought to create barter networks, trading in person with one another, exchanges, use silver, whatever it may be.
But if we're going to want to do business online outside of the scope of this central bank digital currency scheme, these privacy-based, decentralized cryptocurrencies like Monero or PirateChain are going to be the vehicle to do that for online purposes.
I want to continue to do e-commerce and do business with people that aren't right in front of me in person.
So it's important for people to learn about that now.
And then the final piece is let us build these parallel economies.
Let us use vehicles like the Freedom Cell Network.
We built this network of over 33,000 people.
I know you talked to Derek about it.
People can register at freedomcells.org, freedomcells.org.
But we are meeting regularly.
We're building these relationships.
We're finding local food producers within our network.
We're finding like all the people that I work with in my companies, they're all hired through the Freedom Cell Network.
They all get the message and the philosophy.
So let us, whenever we need a service or a want or there's a business we want to frequent, let's first go to our community to see if they have an offering there.
And let's build those relationships now.
So in the future, we can do business with people that are willing and prefer to operate outside of their system.
It's critical that we do this stuff now before it's too late.
We got to do it while we still have a chance.
You know, going back to what you said before as the government encouraging companies to pay their employees via these CBDCs, these central bank digital currencies, would be an avenue to circumvent just the authoritarianism of saying you must do this, the illusion of choice, if you will.
And we already see that coming through in this ESG movement via these massive corporations that are now going to be beholden to this global system of carbon credits, which eventually are going to work into these CBDCs, a la people telling you this from the World Economic Forum and more, not just on your carbon system, but your social credit score as well.
Speak to the dangers of that and how ESG has largely gone under the radar.
Yeah, it's funny because I'm not a fan of the nation state as an institution.
I'm an anarchist, a voluntarist.
I want us to all interact voluntarily with decentralized systems.
They're less corruptible than the centralized ones.
They're more resilient, less vulnerable to social engineering manipulation, all these evil globalists, right?
But there's, in some ways, the state, a state government, in the case of the U.S. and the federal government, it's kind of this check to a lot of these global institutions.
But what they've done, like Richard Gardner wrote, this old CFR guy in this PDF, this report, The Hard Road to World Order as a CFR document, he said, in order to erode national sovereignty, we have to do an end run around it, eroding it piece by piece in a piecemeal fashion, right?
So they circumvent the state government, they circumvent the legislators, and they go directly to these regional bodies.
Of course, back in the day of doing the Agenda 21 research, it was the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives.
I'm sure it's still around to this day.
And on top of that, they go directly to the corporations.
So that's why it's critical that we reduce our dependency on mega corporations, on big tech.
We utilize the alternatives.
We become aware of where things are going.
It's an open conspiracy.
There's no mystery about where the World Economic Forum, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, you name it, where they want things to go.
The United Nations, they're all working in lockstep, pun intended, right?
The Rockefellers too.
But we know where they're going.
So what can we do in the moment so as to avoid that?
And as I said before, building these parallel economies, starting our own business, working together with freedom-minded people in order to meet our common wants and needs, food, homeschooling, health care, alternative cryptocurrency, alternative coins, trade barter networks.
It's the time, the time is now.
We need to act now.
And the big concern, of course, is this whole new world order system, the place that they're going.
They want to use technology, which is now available to create a situation where the people can no longer rise up and resist.
And so it's contingent upon us, our generation, and preparing our children to take up the banner that we put a stop to this by creating these alternatives.
Because if we don't, it'll be an environment like George Orwell said, where it's just a boot forever stomping on your face.
And I don't want that for my kids, and I don't want that for the future generations to come.
So it's up to each and every one of us to double down on our efforts to turn the tide.
I would have to agree with you and these predator class elitists at the top are really trying to take this technology to enslave what they refer to as the peasant class while empowering themselves.
Because as you know, all these technologies are literally double-edged and can be used for either.
That really brings us to livefree.academy, where you tackle a plethora of these issues and try to help people escape the authoritarianism, the collectivism, and become more of a rugged individualist that can exit the system and build upon a new one.
Homesteading is a big part of that.
Tell us about the website and how people can take charge.
Sure.
Well, I'd love for folks to check out the website.
We do a daily email newsletter where we're sharing tips, strategies, stories, and we inform people about the events and workshops that we do.
We do all sorts of online workshops and we do these online in-person hybrid events as well, which are really cool and special.
So we have some free webinars and summits people can check out.
If you're interested in leaving the city, but you're not sure what path to take, if you want to grow your own food and become more self-sufficient, but you feel overwhelmed, maybe you don't have a green thumb.
It's actually more challenging than people may think to take something from seed to fruit and to do so in a manner where you can get a significant portion of your own food from your own property.
But we tackle all that in the Exit and Build Land Summit.
People can watch the replay of that absolutely for free.
We get into cryptocurrency, overcoming a lot of the objections that people in our community have about the shadowy founder of Bitcoin, the creator of Bitcoin.
Can they shut the internet down and take all your Bitcoin?
Can Bitcoin be corrupted?
Is it itself the mark of the beast system, which I highly disagree with, but we get all into that in the Build Wealth Opt Out webinar.
That's all available for free.
And then we just did this homesteading on a budget workshop because in my work, I've come to realize a lot of people, they want to get out of the city.
They want to buy a homestead.
They want to become more independent and self-sufficient, but they're just struggling financially.
All the inflation and all these problems people are having, losing their job because of this or that.
And so we decided to tackle that issue and teach people exactly how they can become more self-sufficient, self-reliant, become better prepared when it comes to food and do so on a shoestring budget.
Basically, it's not about the resources you have like Tony Robbins shares.
It's about how resourceful you are.
So we got into this budget workshop there as well.
So on the website, livefree.academy, people can sign up for our email newsletter.
That's a great place to start.
And then we actually have an events calendar with all sorts of events coming up that we're either hosting or partnering with folks.
And I highly encourage people to check out our in-person events.
There's something special about getting in person, shaking hands, spreading some germs and building those real-world relationships because that's what it's all about.
Well, I think that those things speak to our humanity in general and allow you to make those connections that you just can't do through a screen or through an email or through an instant message or through social media.
And ultimately, that is part of the goal of the Predator class to separate ourselves from our nature, from our humanity, from individual interactions that will lead to a kinship, a brotherhood, and really more of a sense of a communal family of humanity.
Cooperating for Freedom00:14:14
And we see that more and more every single day.
So, you know, speaking to what happened during the COVID-19 44 nightmare and how we were all encouraged to separate from one another, to stay six feet apart, to cover our faces and no longer interact in the manner that we had for millennia.
Forget about years, decades, centuries, millennia, where you actually had authoritarians such as Fauci suggesting we should never shake hands again.
Speak to that anti-human aspect of what we've all been through and how those are being pushed as the norms via this telework, telemedicine, and teleeducation movement.
Yeah, you know, when I think about what took place with the pandemic, it's crystal clear that all of the measures that were implemented and rammed down everyone's throats, they are just in perfect unison with the Great Reset agenda, right?
It's obvious this whole vaccine passport scheme is part of the play, and that's just basically a mission creep tool.
They want to start with all the fear around the virus, but it's going to spread into perhaps you're not able to access public transportation if your social credit score lowers beyond a certain level.
And you mentioned the carbon credits.
People in the future could have monthly allotments for their household.
And if they exceed that monthly allotment, they're not going to be able to leave town unless they get permission from the man or from some algorithm, basically.
So, and a big part of the whole lockdown thing was to pull us away from one another.
There's this way to analyze this stuff.
And it's almost like this is a thing in business, too.
It's like whatever the competition, whatever most businesses are doing, you should do the opposite to stand out, to set yourself apart, to innovate.
So it's just the same.
Whatever the Great Reset wants, whatever these lockdowns say to do, whatever Agenda 21 calls for, we should do the opposite.
So they're wanting to bring people into this metaverse, into this fake reality, live behind the computer, much like all these dystopian science fiction shows on Netflix and stuff would have us do.
And so really, it's important, like let's stay connected through the internet as we're doing this interview right now.
Let's leverage these tools for our own benefit.
But at the same time, let's not lose sight of that connection, getting the kids together.
I mean, what they did to the children is atrocious.
I have two kids.
They never set foot in a government school, and they most definitely weren't wearing any masks or anything at their homeschool co-op.
Let's get the kids together.
Let's get the families together.
Let's have potlucks.
Let's get together, take our shoes off, get in the dirt, put our hands in the garden soil, and let's grow some food together.
Let's do the opposite of what they want for us.
And I tell you what, a lot of people feel isolated with COVID-19 lockdown and everything.
But the Freedom Cell Net, for example, the Freedom Cell Network, we went from 1,000 participants to 33,000 plus.
Everybody always gives us a hard time about the fact that we have 33,000 people, of course.
Oh, I know, you Mason, you undercover Luminati shit.
I think they overplayed their hand, really.
And every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
So a big part of what we do at Live Free Academy is focus on shifting our mindset.
So let's not lose sight of the fact that the predator class, this new world order, they're not omnipotent.
A lot of people always just, they're like, well, we can't possibly do crypto.
They're going to shut it down.
We can't buy land and have a homestead.
They're going to take our food.
Klaus Schwab said, we'll own nothing and be happy.
You have to recognize that the power lies within us.
And the more of us that realize that and step into that space of empowerment, transcending the victimhood that so many people fall into the trap of, then we're really going to be able to shift things.
But it takes each and every one of us doing our part.
And it all starts with recognizing they don't have all the power.
We have the power.
I absolutely agree.
And they try to project that power on others so that we feel helpless and we will no longer resist.
I also do not believe that these people are untouchable or omnipotent.
And I also believe that we have to utilize this technology as best we can.
You mentioned that, you know, this technology right now is empowering us.
You know, we're on other sides of the, actually, you're in the central time zone, so maybe we're only a few hours away, but we're able to take this broadcast.
You're in glorious high definition.
I'm in 1080p.
My little $2,000 computer that probably costs like $1,500 at this point is able to broadcast this across the world on four different platforms at the same exact time and reach people globally.
That's an empowerment of digital technology.
But at the same time, you mentioned the metaverse.
And although there is a place for virtual reality, people have to understand that this is another push from the World Economic Forum to push you into a new societal and economic system.
They talk about metaverse governance with the World Economic Forum.
They talk about generating economic and societal value.
And one of the pushes for this is stakeholder capitalism.
This idea that somehow the company you work for and the system you work for, you're going to have a say.
We actually care about you.
And it is your social behavior that now has value.
Explain how this is another tool of command, control, and confusion to enslave people on this digital system while telling them they will be empowered.
So it's this whole agenda, you know, starting with agenda 21 and even before then, they've aimed to use popular terms, fuzzy language, and act as though they're doing everything for our own best interests.
When in reality, like I like, I like the term predator class.
My good friend Derek Burrows uses that term as well.
They're not looking out for our best interests.
A lot of these people are pretty evil people, megalomaniacs.
They have these psychopathic agendas.
And at the end of the day, I think really they have an insecurity, like they've reached a position of power in society, and now they fear giving up that power.
They've just gotten sick and corrupt on it.
So they know that in order to avoid the masses rising up, they have to manipulate and socially engineer everyone in order to go along this agenda, right?
So I used to talk to the Austin City Council about how their local sustainability initiatives and their smart growth plans are all just Agenda 21.
Of course, they looked at me like I was insane, but back then they promoted the three E's, which is basically the same thing with ESG, was equity, environment, and economy, right?
And so they're like, we're here to help.
We want to have racial equity and we want to make things more egalitarian and blah, In reality, it's all just secret code for how can we control people.
And at the end of the day, I think absent some mass movement, perhaps like a conservative uprising in the U.S. or some Western democracies, I think that this great reset is going to be implemented.
And we just have to ask ourselves, where do we fit in the equation?
And there was this awesome document.
In fact, it was taken off the World Economic Forum website.
I'm sure you're aware of it.
It's the one that said, you know, it's 2030.
I have no privacy.
I have no property.
I've never been happier.
Well, lower down, it's still on Forbes, by the way.
You can still find that article, but they took it off the World Economic Forum website.
It wasn't a good look for them.
But lower down, you read the article and it's like, we're concerned about the people that didn't go along with the AI when the robots took our jobs.
They live outside the city now in 18th century villages and self-supplying communities.
And they're like, we're concerned about them.
I read that and I was like, hey, that's what we're going for, right?
So I don't know.
Maybe they've already anticipated some people aren't going to go along with it and reject the system.
Hopefully they don't come out and crush us.
If there's enough of us, that will be a challenge for them.
But there is a space for us to carve out.
And it really comes down to how can we cooperate with one another now to build the systems so we can maintain a high standard of living, so we can maintain a semblance of freedom in spite of this agenda rolling forward with breakneck speed.
We don't have to go along with it, but it's up to each and every one of us to make that decision now and then to act on that decision by exiting and building.
You know, it's funny you say that because in reality, when you do look at not only their white papers, but their propaganda, for instance, there's a series out there called Upload, which takes place in the very near future.
It's on Amazon.
It's by the guy that did Parks and Wreck, and it's kind of like a black mirror comedy.
And in the first season, it's very much about uploading your consciousness, driverless cars, printed foods, total surveillance within the city.
But then in the second season, you break out of that into these breakaway civilizations, and there are people living off the land that have escaped the system.
Even Dennis Bushnell, who I often quote, who's the chief scientist at NASA and the author of that Future Strategic Warfare 2025 document, when he talks about the future of humanity and he talks about a UBI system, he talks about automation, he talks about uploading consciousness.
He also talks about a breakaway society that is DYI do-it-yourself, or I'm sorry, DIY on steroids, where people take sex of this technology and essentially empower themselves in these localized communities.
I like what you said about these people essentially using terminologies as code words.
Bushnell himself in 2011 at the Blue Tech Forum revealed two very specific code words that I think people have to awaken to.
The first one being sustainability.
According to Bushnell, sustainability is really a code word for the ever-increasing decline of your standard of living and that there are too many people doing too many things and population control or stabilization.
He then says the code word for productivity improvement is actually the ever more automation and robotization of everything.
And I would argue, look, we can't fight the future, but we can try to fight the institutions and mechanisms of control they try to bring in via the technology in the future, John.
Yeah.
Yeah, and that's interesting.
That's great research about the term sustainability.
And I was reminded, as you were saying that, of the Global Biodiversity Assessment, which is this huge document that was a companion to Agenda 21.
And it said, in order to maintain the current levels of population we have on the earth, this was before it was close to 8 billion, right?
So there's even more now.
In order to maintain the current population, we have to live as serfs.
And if we are going to maintain the current standard of living, then there would have to be like 1.6 billion people or some dramatic reduction.
So these people are crazy.
They basically want to create an environment where it's easier to control everyone.
So yeah, we know it, but everybody's got to ask themselves, what are we doing about it?
And sometimes it takes stepping out of the comfort zone.
I understand people get caught in the rat race.
People even that are awake and understand the stuff that we do, they still get caught up in a program where they're just carrying out the day-to-day activities.
And then you couple that with inflation and the income tax, and it becomes harder and harder to meet your basic needs.
So of course, we have less time to strategically think about what are we going to do about this, right?
But I implore each and every one of you, we know there's a problem.
We have to focus so much more energy on what are we going to do about it?
What is the adequate solution?
And that's why we've been promoting this exit and build concept.
We think it's like a real simple way to think about what should we do.
We exit the systems that we disagree with.
We exit the centralized, the coercive, the corrupt, and we build the alternatives, the decentralized, the voluntary, the transparent.
And when I say exit, I mean completely opt out of, total independence from, decoupling.
But the challenge is a lot of people have 401ks, they have children in school, they have retirement plans, they have a mortgage, right?
That's why we flip it around.
Some people can go ahead and exit now.
Like, I keep bringing up Derek Brose, but that dude exited a long time ago, hasn't been in the system, doesn't have a bank account or anything.
I applaud him for that.
That's not my case, but then I know a lot of people are like, I don't want to exit.
That's a lot of risk.
I've built a lot of wealth.
I've spent a lot of time working, blah, blah, blah.
That's why we build those systems now.
We build those networks.
We build the infrastructure so as to pave the way for us to exit.
Exit and build, or build so we may exit.
And I think it's a critical, it's the critical message of our time, in my opinion, because everybody gets caught up in all these traps and all this division and politics.
And it's basically a reactionary paradigm where our destiny is dictated by our enemies.
We're constantly responding to their BS and the latest theory about this or that.
We need to get proactive.
We need to come up with a plan.
We need to have a path and a blueprint of our own, an Agora, Agora 21, so to speak, where we can carve out our own path and we need to stick to that path.
We need to make plans, make goals, and get to work because the clock is ticking.
I agree.
And, you know, not to harken back to any kind of like big tropes out there, but I truly believe that in order to empower ourselves, we have to be strong in mind, body, and soul.
Kratom's Role in Recovery00:04:22
And one of your other projects is mybravebotanicals.com.
Talk about this website.
Talk about empowering ourselves through health and taking control through some of these botanicals that are often discriminated against or derided in the media.
Kratom being a major one, even though it's been a huge tool in getting people off of opioids.
We're in the midst of a very large opioid crisis in this country.
You know, what were the thoughts of you getting behind that website and that movement?
Yeah, so this is Kratom, if folks aren't aware.
It's a member of the coffee family.
It's made from the powderized leaves of the Kratom evergreen tree.
The government does not like it.
And in 2016, the DEA tried to ban it.
It was actually the FDA that was influenced by the DEA.
And the reason being is because a lot of people use this natural plant remedy in order to get off of prescription pills, right?
Pain medicine, especially.
There's red types of this kratom that help people overcome pain, help with sleep, help with relaxation.
A lot of folks become dependent on Percocet, Oxycontin, Vicodin, and they try to quit because it's ruining their lives.
They're not in control.
They're feeling loopy.
They can't keep care of their kids because they're all jacked up just to fight the pain.
They become addicted.
They try to quit and they have terrible withdrawal symptoms.
They can't quit.
It's a story people experience or they know somebody in their life that they've experienced it.
Well, the Kratom helps people ease those withdrawal symptoms to transition off of that stuff.
There's other types.
The white varieties help with focus, energy, mental clarity.
My fiancé, she was addicted to Adderall for like 10 years, and she found that it like really jacked up her personality.
And she was so wired because it's literally legalized methamphetamine.
The scientific name is basically methamphetamine, just a couple chemicals different.
She was so jacked up when she would get off of work, she would drink to pump the brakes, she said.
So she developed an alcohol problem too.
Well, we started dating, and I'm like, hey, man, some of this kratom stuff helps with focus.
It helps to overcome that sense of overwhelm.
And with the help of Kratom, she was able to quit the Adderall and quit drinking for two plus years now.
I'm so proud of her.
And like cutting that stuff out of her life, she was able to step more into her power and get closer to realizing her potential.
So, there's a lot of people that are dependent on these pharmaceuticals.
People take it instead of drinking alcohol.
It's just something that helps to take the edge off.
It doesn't get you high, although it makes you feel better, feel elevated.
But it's a wonderful plant remedy.
And, you know, it's a great story of how the government can try to control things through currency.
I can't accept credit card because there's this Operation Chokepoint program from the Department of Justice under Obama.
And they're like, we want to stop money laundering and payday lenders and stuff like that.
So we're going to make it hard for them to do business.
It did this mission creep, as it always does, as these programs always do.
So now, head shops, gun stores, cannabis, CBD, Kratom, adult stores.
There's some of my favorite industries here.
They make it difficult for them to do business with credit cards.
So cryptocurrency.
There's nobody that can get in the way between me and my clients doing a transaction when it comes to crypto.
We also do e-check, which is an electronic check, kind of like sending a check in the mail.
It has the check-in account and routing number, totally safe and secure.
So in order to over, I had my Facebook ad account shut down, YouTube videos pulled.
Derek Brose's YouTube account got taken down.
And one of the strikes, whenever there were three strikes, was a Kratom video I did.
I felt pretty bad.
I was like, sorry, buddy.
But in order to overcome that, we decided we're just going to give away Kratom for free to people for people to try because we believe in it so much.
So people can go to freeounceofkratom.com, freeouncefofkratom.com, or follow one of the links that we shared with you, and they can try an ounce for free.
They just got to pay $5 shipping and handling.
So it really changes people's lives.
I take it for stress and anxiety.
It helps me with patience with my two kiddos when they're going kind of crazy.
But yeah, it's a shame that the government tries to marginalize it.
They try to say there's all these kratom-related deaths, just like COVID, dying with COVID or from COVID.
Turns out some of these folks that died with Kratom in their system, one guy fell off a roof.
One guy also had heroin in his system.
So it's like the guy in Florida that got in a motorcycle accident.
It was listed as a COVID death because he was COVID positive, apparently.
Losing Trust in Authority Figures00:02:15
But a lot of scams out there.
And it's important for folks like you to share the word and to get the word out there so we can overcome this media control paradigm.
While we're still on the topic of big pharma and our current medical system, as well as authoritative sources that will tell us what to believe, we have this recent study that has largely been blacked out in the United States, but has been covered by Tucker Carlson in this country and the Daily Mail and others, where what a lot of people suspected, the idea that SSRIs do anything for depression,
has actually been thrown into the wood chipper.
And these selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which literally change our brain chemistry when clinically looked at, aren't really doing anything to help anybody's depression or mental health, are they, John?
No, it's another scam.
And, you know, Edward El Bernays, the father of modern propaganda, he put out some work and it was like, in order to influence the population, we don't have to reach everyone individually.
We simply have to reach those authority figures, doctors, scientists, professors, right?
And then you get those under those guys under your control, which is easy to do through grants, through the funding of science and studies.
And then because everybody is so there's so many people that are just weak in the mind, they don't trust their own instincts, even like parenting and the birthing process.
Mothers just reject their natural birthright of being a mom and just knowing what's right and natural.
They abrogate the responsibility to the doctors.
They end up with C-sections, all sorts of stuff.
And it's just people need to trust themselves more.
And unfortunately, people have given up that role and given it to these authority figures.
And if there's folks that are still trusting the science, quote unquote, or the experts, you just have to understand that these folks aren't infallible and they are easily corrupted.
And this whole system, there's one silver lining, right?
It's all about the mindset, how we choose to view things.
Greater Reset: Solutions Matter00:07:04
And I choose to focus on the wonder and the beauty in the world and the positive things.
I do think that this whole COVID thing has really caused people to lose trust in the institution of public health, which government shouldn't have anything to do with.
I don't even think we should have government, period, but they most definitely shouldn't have anything to do with our health decisions.
And while there's always going to be a group of people that go along with anything, the masses, basically, they never really change the course of history.
The people that matter, the people that are willing to buck the system, try things differently, and trust their internal compass, those are the people that are going to change the course of history.
And those are the people that are being woken up by shows like this and the work that we do.
And I feel optimistic about the way things are going.
They've overplayed their hand time and time again to jig is up.
Well, I always say this.
It comes from the individual to have great discernment and power and find that power within to change their own lives and the lives of those around them in a system that is always trying to take us and say, you're hopeless, you're helpless, fall in line, obey.
So aside from the websites, what do you have on the horizon out there where people can come and maybe see you speak or join livefree.academy, et cetera?
What do you have coming up, John?
Sure.
I'll be in Tennessee for the Self-Reliance Festival.
My good friend Nicole Saas and John Willis put on this event.
I think it happens quarterly, but Jack Spierko will be there.
A bunch of folks that are in the preparedness world, but it's not just your typical preppers.
These folks are Liberty folks as well and into crypto and all sorts of good stuff.
So people can get in-person tickets or they can get a virtual pass.
LiveFree Academy is partnering with the event to put on this virtual pass.
It's October 1st and 2nd.
Folks can check that out at livefree.academy slash SRF, livefree.academy slash SRF.
And then me, Derek Grose, and Ramiro Romani are hosting the fourth iteration of the greater reset.
So when this great reset thing started really popping off and taking wings, me and Derek were like, what are we going to do to resist this?
Because a lot of people are just sharing articles about the problem.
And we're like, what if we created a counter movement?
They got the great reset.
They want to control.
They want to centralize.
What if we started a greater reset and we do an event just like they do in Switzerland, right?
So we started this greater reset and it's all about solutions.
We call it an activation.
It's not a conference or a festival.
It's about getting people activated.
So we bring in visionary thinkers.
We've had Catherine Austin Fitz.
We've had Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
We got a whole, we're not going to announce the speakers just yet.
We're going to be announcing the new ones this time.
We've got some big giant names.
We're really excited.
So we do an in-person hybrid event and we simulcast it from Mexico and here in Texas and then people can watch for free online.
So it's a five-day event.
It's coming up January 18th through the 22nd.
Highly encourage people to join us here in Central Texas or in Mexico or host a watch party or at least watch it online.
And people can go to thegreaterreset.org, thegreaterreset.org to stay up to date, to join the email newsletter and get alerted whenever tickets go on sale for in-person or whenever we go live on January 18th.
We've gotten so much positive feedback.
It's one of those things where people just feel disillusioned.
They feel like we just lost.
They get blackpilled, right?
Or you get overwhelmed and become apathetic.
And they check out the speakers.
They hear the positive, empowering message, and they're like, wow, we have a chance.
And they, in turn, get activated.
So that's what we're hoping to do.
These guys got a lot of momentum going.
We got more momentum, I would argue.
And we don't, we have truth on our side, and we have light and freedom and goodness.
They have to use deception, dark manipulation, black magic, all sorts of crazy stuff to carry out their agenda.
We just have to shine bright and believe in ourselves.
And I think that the future is going to be a beautiful one.
Well, I couldn't agree more that no matter what your political or religious beliefs are, that we must become the great resistance to this very real great reset agenda.
And the greater reset activation tour is a great tool to get people started on that path.
John, what would you like to leave my audience with and throw out the websites one more time?
Okay, so check us out, livefree.academy.
Join our email newsletter if you want to stay in touch with all the cool stuff we're doing.
You can go to livefree.academy/slash email or sign up on the homepage, livefree.academy, and then check out the events tab.
All the events that I shared about, they're all listed there.
You could subscribe to the calendar, all that stuff.
Now, I just leave people with an encouragement to become more mindful of your own thoughts.
Because more often than not, we are our own greatest enemy.
And we let fear prevent us from taking action.
We let fear of the unknown, we believe, you know, fear is also known as false events appearing real.
So if you can adopt a mindfulness, if you can be aware of that internal soundtrack that we have, that's our own thoughts, you can flip the script and you can use those internal thoughts, that inner voice, to empower you instead of just continue the victim mentality.
So I would encourage people, whenever you hear an alternative, whenever you hear a solution, be aware if you're the type of person that always thinks a ways that it can't work and then you don't ever act, try to shift into somebody that says, hey, this sounds like it could possibly work.
How can I contribute to that?
I'm an empowered person and I'm ready to make a difference in my life.
So our mindset is the most fundamental thing.
It's critically important.
If we're going to change this world, if we're going to change our lives, we have to get our mind right first.
And we got to stop the limiting beliefs.
And instead, we got to be our own champion for the future for freedom.
Because, you know, humanity is dependent on it.
It's pretty high stakes.
They got the technology.
They're moving the pieces in place to checkmate us, basically.
So it's up to this generation to lay the foundation and set the stage for the future generations to come to pick up the banner and have that infrastructure and those networks and those relationships so they can create lasting, sustainable freedom.
Absolutely.
Livefree.academy and mybravebotanicals.com are the websites.
It has been a pleasure, Mr. Bush, and we have to do it sometime in the near future, my friend.
Yeah, thanks so much for having me.
Keep up the good work, Jason.
All right.
Thank you so much.
And folks, if you want to check out my documentary films, Loose Change, Final Cut, Fabled Enemies, Invisible Empire, A New World Order to Find, and Shade the Motion Picture, they are all free of charge.
I want you to watch them.
I want you to share them.
And I want you to not take this information in fear and enslave your mind, but instead empower yourself through the truth in this very real battle for humanity because it's not about left or right.
