    Who do you think killed him? Richard Nixon?
    Who do you think supports the cartels. Clue: It ain't Nixon.
    There is no spoon.

    “After the first Anarchapulco, quite a few people moved down there, which became the core of this community. They were a mix of varying idealists, anarchists, heavily into drugs and partying and all that. That was the core of the group,” Mike said. “You don’t get a particularly nice, functioning community. Over time, the community’s broken up and splintered off about a dozen times.”

    Mike said he grew worried about his physical safety. The city was notorious for murders; armed robbery and cartel extortion were a fact of life, he said. But Berwick and others make frequent reference to the ease of living in the city.

    “At one point quite a large crowd came, but they were extremely naive,” Mike said. “Jeff was always saying publicly that Acapulco’s not dangerous, that you can do anything, nothing will happen to you. People believed him.”

    LOL

    When asked about the high crime rates in Acapulco, the blue-eyed anarchist with scruffy facial hair said: 'I'd say it's safer than any big city I've lived in in the U.S., like way safer than Chicago or something like that.'

    Guerrero state, home to Acapulco, has a murder rate of 64.2 per 100,000 residents, more than two times that of Chicago.

    The Mexicans are the spokes of that wheel. Damn right they did.

    Is it just me or are the more hedonistic libertarians just lacking street smarts that other libertarians possess? I admire what he was trying to do, but you have to be really naive. First off, your appearance is a dead giveaway, in that you're a first world westerner living in a foreign land. You are a prime target, just from an image standpoint. Then you push your way into their business, without taking the necessary steps for protection? Umm?

    “They started up a competing conference to Anarchapulco, called Anarchaforko and John continued to be involved in one way or another with the production or sale of plants,” Berwick told The Daily Beast in an email. “Unfortunately, that is the one thing that is very dangerous to do in Mexico as the drug cartels will attack anyone they see as competition and that appears to have happened to John.”

    Let’s hope not. That statement is a bit suspicious.

    "Debt is the drug, Wall St. Banksters are the dealers, and politicians are the addicts." - B4L

    You called him a "tool", with a picture posted, so your comment was based (at least partly) on his looks:
    Yes or No?
    No one here wanted to be the Billionaire.

    It seems like all of these anarcho-utopia schemes in a foreign nation always end up resulting in scams, fraud or murder.

    I had no idea Ron Paul was involved in this "event" and I would advise him to rethink it.
    Ron Paul has gone every year for the past few years. It's in a resort, not in the city itself.

    Here's his speech from last year

    This has nothing to do with my ability to afford a trip to Mexico. You are just fussy because my beliefs don’t align with yours, am I right?

    You are wrong about security - airport security and customs is not concerned about political beliefs. That’s plenty of security to keep me from going. Like I said, I am too poor to spend a couple grand on something like this anyway.

    May you not be as abrasive in the real world.

    Lighten up, Sparky. It was a joke.

    I don't pay enough attention to you to even know what we disagree on.

    Leaving the system is not easy.


    If you set up a commune, you will be called a racist child-abusing nutjob.


    You will be forced to have mandatory warrantless inspections and buy solar panels. You will not be allowed to have animals or outhouses.



    If you live on a sailboat, you cannot have vitamins or fruit or vegetables.



    If you stay in society, you can have electricity, water, cars, the Internet, and plentiful cheap or free processed food, but you must be enslaved and lose your privacy forever by being wiretapped, getting a name, SSN, giving a DNA sample, and fingerprints if you want to bank, drive, fly, travel, work, study, get healthcare, or marry.

    and they call it "civilization"


    i call it perpetual violence
    FLIP THOSE FLAGS, THE NATION IS IN DISTRESS!


    why I should worship the state (who apparently is the only party that can possess guns without question).
    The state's only purpose is to kill and control. Why do you worship it? - Sola_Fide

    At which point will Americans realize that creating an unaccountable institution that is able to pass its liability on to tax-payers is immoral and attracts sociopaths?
