Off Grid Agorist

In keeping with the Off Grid Agorist tradition, this episode is where we give our predictions for 2022 and we revisit last year's predictions to see what we missed and what we got right.

Today's episode is our Christmas episode. It's just a fun episode where we kind of goof off and have a lot of fun with the folks in the chat.

Any conversation you have with an agorist about anarchy will inevitably lead to topics like the non-aggression principle(N.A.P.), freedom of association, and voluntary interaction.

These are all great topics worth a deep dive, but there is one concept that is at the core of all of these topics.

Self-ownership

As with many other philosophies, agorism holds the idea of self-ownership as absolutely fundamental. It's an either/or state of existence.

Either you do own yourself or you don't. And, if you do, then it guides all the above topic discussions.

It goes like this. If I own myself then;

- You must own yourself too and I don't have any right to initiate violence against you and you don't have any right to initiate violence against me.

- I have every right to use any force necessary to repel violence against me.

- I am free to associate myself with whomever I choose and for whatever reasons I choose without permission from others.

- All interactions with me require my consent for them to be legitimate. and any interactions I have with you require your consent.

These are really simple ideas and most people agree with them except when it comes to the government. People excuse the government from these very simple yet obviously moral principles. Why is that?

People must excuse the government from these sets of moral codes because they believe we must have government and government can not exist under such restraint of behavior.

We talk a lot about the government and its inability and unwillingness to control its own growth. We talk a lot about the uselessness of the constitution in reigning in the powers of government. We talk a lot about how voting has very little if any impact on meaningful change in the government. Now let's talk about something that does have an impact.

Let's talk about the action of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs are the front lines of any push back against the government. They are the ones to push back against regulations. They are the ones to decide whether or not to provide a product or service that may or may not be "allowed" by the government.

Make no mistake about it - the person dealing weed out of their apartment is as much of an entrepreneur as the person running a fully state-sanctioned, licensed business. It was the state's inability to even slow the growth of marijuana use with its multi-billion-dollar war on drugs that has made marijuana legal in most states now.

This in large part is because of the entrepreneur who refused to bow to the state's commandments. These millions of entrepreneurs who used to operate in the black market now operate in the gray market.

And, it's not just the weed dealers either. What about all those people that started giving rides under the Uber umbrella when it wasn't legal in most of the states they operated in.. The point is that there are enough people willing to accept the risks of dealing in a black market that it can impact the actions of the government.

We often hear the phrase "Vote with your pocketbook". This is the only vote that matters when it comes to government.

If you want to reduce or eliminate government then take the fight to the market and forget about the ballot box. We should all know by now that's a rigged game.

Find a gray or black market that will allow you to use your own skill sets and start a business.

Evaluate your own aversion to risk and find a sector in the gray or black market that aligns with that tolerance level.

Stop operating in the white market where the government has all the control and takes whatever it wants from you at will.

Is the constitution of the united states really the document we have all been taught? Why are we told the
constitution was the result of the American revolution? What does the declaration of independence have to do
with the constitution? Why do so few people know anything about the Articles of confederation? These may
seem like benign questions at first glance, but I assure you the answers to these questions open a door to a train
of thought that leads to questions about the true nature of freedom in the United States.
The idea that you have been misled your whole life about the constitution by nearly everyone around
you is unsettling. I say “nearly” everyone because sometimes you will hear someone say something
about that “sacred” document that goes against the national mythos and it sounds ridiculous. Those
people get mocked and marginalized by the “good citizens” for their blasphemy.
For those who have misled you, don't cast blame on them. They were lied to their whole lives too. The
lies have been told for so long that the perpetrators of the lies are long dead and those who perpetuate
the lies are a minuscule minority. The rest are just compliant dupes spreading the lies because they
believe the lies.
It is my belief that one can never have real liberty in this country and still believe in the national story.
The two are diametrically opposed and the belief in one must negate the other. It is possible to see these
lies for what they are, but it requires a suspension of belief in the mythos. One must be able to honestly
question the validity of the mythos so the mind can rationally evaluate the contradicting information.
In today's episode, we have a special guest. Legalman is one of those who are trying to shed some truth
on this great deception. He is among the best at pointing out the inconsistencies in a concise way that
leaves little debate about the truth of the matter when it comes to the true purpose of the constitution.
To those of you in our audience who call yourselves constitutional republicans I urge you to listen with
an open ear. Compare what you hear in this episode with what you've been taught all your life then
contrast the information with what you see all around you in reality. 

In today's world, self-sufficiency is an integral part of freedom. Our society seems to be structured in such a way that people are heavily dependent on other people, infrastructures, businesses, institutions, etc. for their very survival. In a truly voluntary world, there would be nothing wrong with this, in fact, it would be beneficial. The division of labor has been a key variable for the increase in human quality of life. 

The problem with the situation today is an ever-increasing control state, where these dependencies on others are used against people as a form of control and manipulation. We can all think of situations where our decisions are based on consequences imposed on us by the government without any natural consequence of the decision. Most of the consequences imposed on us - through the use of force by a government - are directly or indirectly tied to the institution of government monopolized money. As we talked about in last week's episode, finding ways to live outside the fiat system can increase the sphere of liberty that you live within. 

This week we are talking about self-sufficient skill sets that you can develop to decrease your reliance on the use of the fiat system that is used to control and manipulate the population. The purpose of developing self-sufficient skills is to ultimately reduce your need to buy goods and services. Reducing your need to continually buy things reduces the amount of money you have to trade your time and energy for. Anyone can learn new skills. It does require determination and substantial investments of time, you may even choose to pay someone to teach you a skill, but the great thing about these new skills is that once you have them they can't be taken away from you. Here's an example of what we mean. What would it look like if you learned how to raise chickens? If a family of 4 eats eggs for breakfast 4 times per week, they would spend roughly $9 per week buying eggs. If one family member learned how to raise chickens, they could easily tend to 15 chickens and conservatively expect to collect 6 dozen eggs per week. This would supply the family's egg needs, plus enough surplus to sell eggs to friends and neighbors to pay for the chicken feed. This would save the family over $500 per year and doesn't account for any of the other benefits of raising chickens.
Learning skills is an act of liberty in and of itself.

In this episode, we talk about creative ways to get internet in hard to connect areas. 

We are both waiting for Elon Musk to get Starlink going, which will cover the entire world with internet service. Until then, we have other ideas for you. 

In this episode we give you some good advice for purchasing a used shipping container. 

The price is going up drastically on used containers so if you have been planning to pick one up now is the time to do so. 

Will Trump instill Martial Law in an effort to keep the White House and invoke a New Republic?

Or will he gracefully step down and it is just business as usual?

In this episode, we discuss the rumors flying about that the insurrection act will be invoked and if it were what would that look like for this country?

We have a special guest today! Blake Roder, creator of Individualist.tv, discusses the concepts of one of our favorite Agorists, Lysander Spooner. We also talk about the Agora and the Constitution. 

Cyrus is the master at salvaging junk and turning into something cool and valuable!

In this episode, we teach you how to build a DIY solar hot water heater for hardly any money. 

Most of the materials used are salvaged materials you can find in most towns. 

As we launch our 2nd season, Cyrus and I get together for a New Year's chat and cook up some suspicions about what 2021 will be bringing us. 

I will give you some hints: we talk about the vaccine and how it could possibly affect mankind, and we also delve into how the political landscape may change and what that means for us all. 

Warning - your mind could be blown so secure your tinfoil hat!

Obedience is not a virtue. In this episode, we discuss the idea of "Disobey and walk away". We prefer disobedience to obedience because disobedience requires thought and constant evaluation of one's own morals and ethics. You cant be free and be obedient to another. Being responsible for your own life is a prerequisite for being free. Being responsible for one's own decisions sometimes requires disobedience. You will really like this episode.

Charcoal. Its not just for cooking. 

When you make biochar - a more advanced type of charcoal - you have created a product that has a plethora of uses. 

Not only can you cook with it, you can also apply it to many household, healthcare, and personal care uses. 

From corporate giants using the government to their advantage by squeezing out competition, to small business owners being red taped out of existence, in this episode we go over real examples from big to small of how government totally impedes, if not destroys, capitalism. 

Agenda 2030. You may or may not have heard of it. Basically, its a world blueprint about how every man, woman, and child should live on this planet in the name of sustainability. 

It is a global agenda brought on by the United Nations and 100s of countries have agreed to comply, including USA. 

In this episode, we take a deep dive into what Agenda 2030 really is and the sinister undertones and overtones it encapsulates.

Alternative housing is gaining a whole lot of popularity as housing prices and building materials soar. 

As big houses are becoming more out, tiny homes and cabins are in. But these are also very expensive to purchase and build!

What to do? Convert a shed into a cabin, of course!

In this episode we talk about all the different ways you can acquire a shed for cheap and essential building tips to not overlook on converting your shed into a tiny home. 

When it comes to your land, you want it to be secure from trespassers. There are the typical methods such as fencing and cameras, but there are way more things you can do than just buy a couple of dogs and hope for the best. 

Basically, fences keep the honest people out. So how do you step up your game? 

In this episode, we go over some interesting ideas to securing your property!

In this special current events episode, we get down to the details about the voting process and why it is ok NOT to feel guilty if you didn't vote this year. 

It is my first year of opting out of the voting system and I am having some guilties about it. Cyrus talks me through why I don't need to feel guilty and points out some valid reasons about how flawed our democratic system really is. 

Agorism may be a new concept to you, or you may be interested in actually practicing the Agora but are unsure how to incorporate it into your everyday life. This is what we are addressing in this episode!

We talk about the various ways you can support Agorism and incorporate it easily into your daily lives, from small to big actions. 

When going off grid, you will get to the point where you need to do something with your waste. 

There are all sorts of wastes to deal with. Recyclables such as plastics, aluminum and paper, food wastes, grey water from your showers and sinks, to black water from your toilet. 

Getting good waste systems in place are tantamount to the completion of your off grid lifestyle. 

In this episode, we go over what to do with your shit. Literally! Lots of different ideas in this one, so have a listen!

Over all the episodes we have created we have lots of interesting thoughts along the way. We have gathered all these interesting thoughts and have a nice conversation over a couple of beers in what we have dubbed Tavern Talk. 

We think you will enjoy all the things we talk about as it is plain old good advice and gives you some things to ponder about over your day. 

We all go right to solar power for energy systems when it comes to off grid living, but there are many more inventive options to energy than just that one source. 

In this episode we talk about the different ways to generate electricity. We also talk about heating, cooling, and cooking fuel with alternative renewable sources in mind. 

Over the years, preppers have gotten a distinct reputation, usually revolving around the conspiracy theory persona. Although there are radical preppers that have been popularized by main stream media, most of us are pretty chill and down to earth. 

In this episode we go over entertaining and curious prepper myths, we debunk or validate them, and we offer simple good prepper advice for those looking to get into preps or people wanting to expand their preps. 

Food! We all love it, and we need it to live! But producing your own food in an off grid environment is quite challenging and is an ongoing process. 

In this episode, we give you ideas about how to produce your own food from growing, raising, foraging, to preserving and storing the fruits of your labor. 

In the continuation of the off grid water system topic, we dive into water filtration and purification. It is important to know the difference between the two, as both are important in acheiving a successful off grid water system.

We also talk about various methods you can apply to filter and purify your water. 

Some things can transcend time and relate to our very present moment. No Treason, by Lysander Spooner, is an essay that was written in 1867 which has transcended the generations with a message: the government and the constitution is invalid. 

Because Lysander wrote this piece with the lawyer mindstate and was so much closer to the time of the constitution being written, he had a more clear view of what the American government was becoming and was very outspoken about his observations. 

You can read the piece here: https://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/spooner-no-treason-no-vi-the-constitution-of-no-authority-1870

It is actually a fairly easy read as he wrote it for the laymen of his time. Enjoy!

In continuation with our diversifying away from the dollar topic, we have created this episode about how to purchase your very first crypto coins. It can be intimidating and confusing  to know even where to start when it comes to owning crypto, so we break it down into bite sized easy pieces to swallow and act upon. 

Water systems! They're so important when considering everything about going off grid. 

In this episode we talk about conventional and not so conventional methods of harnessing water for your off grid system setup. 

We dive into overlooked aspects about water and we also go into some technical stuff too. 

In continuation from last week, we cover more aspects and principles of Agorism, from the classification of different markets we interact in, to the social classes we live in. 

We wrote an ebook about how to apply counter-economics and the Agora to your side hustle or small business! Check it out here: 

In this episode, we go over all kinds of different types of structure you can use for your off grid build. From cabins to earth ships, to cob buildings and bunkers, we touch on every type of imaginable build to get your off grid creative juices flowing!

In a world full of contradictions and violence, it can be hard to find a path that doesn't include being involved on the "left" or the "right" side. 

Personally, I am sick of having to label myself as a democrat or republican. But I am always pushed by friends, family, and society into aligning myself into one side that I personally do not believe in. 

Now that I have discovered Agorism, I have chosen to opt out of both sides! And you can too, if you like. You can listen to this episode and discover concepts and philosophies that may apply to your beliefs but never had the words to describe them. 

In this episode, we go over all sorts of unique and interesting ways to make money while living off grid.

We get asked a whole lot about how to go off grid and still make a living; there is a commonly held misconception that if you go off grid you will have less opportunities to make money - we beg to differ. 

We actually believe that you will have even more opportunities to make money off grid than you would living a conventional lifestyle!

We bust a lot of myths and giev you a bunch of ideas on how to earn while living the off grid lifestyle of your dreams.

In this episode, we cover the second half of what Antifa has become in America, which is quite far removed from its European roots. If you missed the first part, we recommend you listen to it as we go over the history of Antifa which sets up the stage for this episode. 

Antifa has become radicalized in America and has deep seated roots in Communism. American Antifa was formed by a group called the American League Against War and Fascism which was formed in the 1930s. This group openly admitted in 1950 to using Antifascism as a cover to take down American government and replace with communism. 

To this day, we see modern Antifa using tactics against a Fascist regime that simply doesn't exist (no, we officially do not have a Fascist regime in this country). 

We go over the differences between rasicm and fascism, the strategies used by modern day Antifa to justify their violence, and the hypocrasies within those actions. 

In this week's episode, we peer into the unusual and mysterious history of the beginnings of Antifa. 

It is quite interesting to learn about how Antifa started and where it is now in modern day America. 

This is a prelude to next week's episode when we look into what is going on in modern day American antifa and how it compares and contrasts to its roots. 

In today's episode, we go over what we have dubbed The 7 Pillars Of Going Off Grid. Being experienced off grid folk, we have formulated 7 epic systems of what you will need to set up and consider when going off grid. Consider this an introduction to going off grid, or off grid 101!

Each off grid experience is unique and we can only provide you foundational guidelines; it will be up to you to make the decisions in your life of how you want to go off grid. 

This is Part 1 of our newly launched Off Grid Series that will occur every Friday. 

Stay tuned for upcoming off grid living episodes!

We have to ponder if our traditional government ruled schooling systems are becoming obsolete. With the pandemic afoot, many parents (to the tune of 50%!) are not planning to send their children back to school this fall and are looking for homeschooling and alternative schooling options in replacement of the public school system.

This brings about an opportunistic time for educators, parents, and entreprenuers to support the divergence away from prison school systems and bring about a whole new world of independent education. In this episode, we go over lots of interesting and creative ideas as to how to utilize and create new schooling systems within your home and community.

We would never ever make moonshine because it is illegal and we are not outlaws ;)

BUT. If we were to make moonshine, this is what we would do!

In this episode, our in-house master moonshiner goes over step-by-step on how to make a safe and delicious moonshine. We then dive into how to market and sell your moonshine safely and discreetly. 

For entertainment purposes only! We do not condone illegal activities. 

Most of us do not realize what is happening with our global seed industry. What used to be the Big 6 that controlled 70% of seeds in the world, mergers have made only 4 large industrial food companies in control of producing and selling most of our global food seed supply!

There are all sorts of implications for large corporations controlling a huge portion of our food supply.

The solution? Heirloom seed saving!

In this episode, we go over what is happening with the seed industry today, and how we can fight for our food sovereignty with heirloom seeds. 

We also talk about GMOs, hybrids, organic, and heirloom meanings so you can be informed about what type of seed you want to purchase and save. 

Let's face it. Our economy is screwed! There are two ways to go: Either live in fear and paralysis, or work towards liberating yourself from this economic death trap and start using tactics of Agorism and counter-economics now!

In this episode, we go over the meaning of Agorism and counter-economics, how our economy is a huge ripoff, and then we give you the tools to work towards living a more liberated lifestyle by putting counter-economics to work. 

Do you question the Government everytime you pay taxes, or do you feel that it is a force that you cannot control?

Do you ever wonder if the State is really working for our common good?

Do you feel like there is nothing you can do to opt out of paying for the perpetual war machine and violent government actions?

In this episode, we take a hard look into unmasking the State, what true liberty is, and what you can do to rise above the modern day slavery system. 

The city is looking less and less desireable these days and the era of city life is changing at its core. 

Between riots, concentrated plague breakouts, bar and restaurant closures, mandatory mask wearing, venue and theater closures, distance learning from schools, and working from home all add up to a decision that you have to make: is staying in the city worth it? There is no right or wrong answer, just cause and consequence. 

We take a look at the reasons why you may want to sell now, get out of the city, and settle in a more peaceful, rural area. 

We also talk about bug out strategies for those who choose to stay. 

Please support our channel by taking a look at our recommended products! This week we recommend premade bug out bags. Check them out:

With everything going on in 2020, we have to ask: Is Shit Really Hitting the Fan?

There seems to be a conglomeration of a perfect storm looming that could culminate into a complete SHTF event. However, everything is taking its sweet time that is leading to many of us letting our guard down. 

In this episode we talk about the red flag events that are leading to SHTF and things you can do to be prepared to handle The Greatest Depression. 

The Fed is going off the rails with runaway spending, sneaky stock buying tactics, and infinity repo dollars. We really don't feel good about what is going in our current monetary system. 

Cyrus and I have a good chat about all the swirling economic chaos that is developing around us and how to prepare your finances to survive the economic shitstorm - and even possibly thrive while others are tanking. 

Today we are talking about the potential perfect storm for a food shortage disaster.  Although we may not be seeing it at the stores here in America, there are implications that a food shortage could be on the horizon. 

We delve into what to do to steel yourself against a possible food shortage, gardening, seeds, and stocking up on commodities. Be prepared, folks!
