[175]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-RacyNx7nE I was glad to be joined by Etienne de la Boetie² to discuss how he, with the help of others, was able to organize civil disobedience during the height of the COVID lockdowns. We also discuss his book, “‘Government’ The Biggest Scam in History” and hit on a number of the most eye raising revelations therein.
