Let’s Take the Best & Brightest of America’s Youth and Crash Em Together in a Way That Almost Guarantee’s Brain Damage + NFL Teams as the “Artificial Tribe” Dr. Barre Lando: Welcome to the Alfacast Podcast, and thank you for being with us here today. Dr. Barre Lando here, and today I’m speaking with Etienne de la Boetie2, and we’ll be discussing his latest book, To See the Cage is to Leave It – 25 Techniques the Few Use to Control the Many.Étienne, my friend, good to see you again. How is my French pronunciation?Etienne de la Boetie2: You did better than most. You forgot the “squared”. I use a numeral two as an exponent to denote myself, that I’m not the original Etienne de la Boetie, and that’s the only way you can find me in a search engine.Dr. Barre Lando: We strongly believe at Alpha Vedic that self-reliance is something that’s essential… that we all need to get back to. And really when we moved away from self-reliance, that is what ended up generating, let’s say, a more dependence on government. So maybe we’ll start off with the first question. What could possibly go wrong with that?Etienne de la Boetie2: Well, so for folks in your audience that aren’t familiar with my work, my original book was called The Government the Biggest Scam in History . And my main thesis is that government is always illegitimate. It’s immoral. It’s impossible to have a legitimate government. And so it’s really beenThe Biggest Scam in History! And one of the ways that government has perpetrated itself on the population is by creating dependency in government on a huge, huge, huge, huge segment of the population is completely dependent on it for their jobs, whether they’re public school teachers or in the military. They forced people into their retirement system, so now many people are completely dependent on it for their retirement. They’ve forced people into their schools, they’ve monopolized medicine. They’ve created artificial poverty. They’ve impoverished the population. And then they’ve gotten, you know, a huge segment of the population dependent upon cash welfare. and on these, you know, on SNAP benefits and everything else. And so that’s one of the ways that they’ve been able to maintain their control is they’ve gotten so many people entirely dependent upon the government.Dr. Barre Lando: An interesting statistic, the numbers are going to be in the ballpark here, but in the early 1900s, the majority, I think it was maybe in the 80, 90 percentile, were all self-employed, early 1900s. At present time, the majority of people are employees and amidst those employees, Over 50% might even be more now, because these are old statistics, derive their income directly or indirectly from the government.Etienne de la Boetie2: I used to live outside Washington, D.C., which is the land of the Beltway Bandit, and it is somewhat creepy how dependent the population of Washington, D.C. is on the government. And the other thing that’s crazy, a lot of people don’t realize this, but four FIVE out of the top 10 wealthiest suburbs in the counties in the United States are all right outside of Washington, D.C. And so that’s Loudoun County, Virginia, it’s Fairfax County, Virginia, Arlington County, Virginia, and Prince William County, Maryland. And they lead the nation in fine wine consumption and luxury goods, and it’s amazing. And whenever, when I lived there, whenever the topic would get brought up at a dinner party or at a get-together or something like that, I would always make the running joke that it’s almost like the wealth of an entire country was stolen and concentrated into this one area around Washington, D.C. And the funny thing is, is that Washington, D.C. doesn’t really make anything. There’s no real industry, except for the Beltway Bandits. There is the Internet industry. I was in the Internet business, which is how I came to live outside of Washington, D.C. But besides the Internet, which was a DARPA program and essentially a military network that the Pentagon lets us use so they can spy on and track us while we’re using it. Besides that, D.C. doesn’t make anything, yet that’s where all of the wealth of the country has been accumulated.Dr. Barre Lando: Well, on a positive note, there has been some exposure, even though most of it’s wrapped up in a lot of media theater as a distraction, but there has been some exposure to a lot of folks who are getting their eyes open, realizing where that money actually comes from. It’s a vast topic, but we could get into the Federal Reserve and how they harvest us and make things out of thin air and so forth. Yeah, there’s a reason why that wealth is there. It’s not real wealth, but it is there available for them to maintain what, you know, really appears to me as a little cult, what you’re describing.Etienne de la Boetie2: Well, uh, now you’re, you’re, you’re going to give away the, the, the ending of my new book, but, uh, so I, you know, I have a new book out and, uh, the original book was “Government “ -The Biggest Scam in History. And the subtitle of that book was how intergenerational organized crime runs the government, the media, and academia. And my thesis in the book is really that “Government” has been the Biggest Scam in History. It’s impossible to have a legitimate government, a moral government. And so it’s best thought of as a technique for robbing and controlling populations. I don’t want to give away the ending, but it’s banks on the top and the banks create money out of thin air using a technique called fractional reserve banking. And for your audience that isn’t familiar with it, when you go to a bank to get a mortgage or a loan or a 50 year mortgage, they’re not going to lend you deposit or money. They just create those digital dollars out of thin air. Even though that’s inflationary and even though that steals the value out of everybody else’s money to let the banks create, you know, gazillions and gazillions of digital dollars, it kind of dilutes the value of the dollars that are in circulation. So the whole basis of our monetary system is essentially theft and fraud and and a scam and to protect that unethical, that corrupt system, they bought up the media and academia and they control the information that society receives so that they can tax farm the population by stealing the value out of the money and with confiscatory taxes. and handing money out the back door of Washington, D.C., whether it’s for mandatory vaccines, whether it’s for weapon systems that we don’t need to fight wars based on wise manufactured intelligence, whether that’s for ethanol subsidies or a gazillion other ways that the federal government is sliding money out the back door to identifiable interests that then get recirculated into campaign contributions.So that essentially 99% of Congress are, what Mark Twain said was the only distinctly criminal class in the country. One of the things that we’re doing and exposing at the Art of Liberty Foundation is that government is being run as a criminal enterprise out of Washington, DC. And what my new book breaks down is one of the ways they get around it is they’ve been indoctrinating the belief in having a government as a religion. Now, they don’t call it a religion, but they’re using all the tricks and the techniques of an unethically manipulative religion or a cult to indoctrinate and to propagandize and to trick the population into going along with something that is against their interest.Dr. Barre Lando: Yeah, and you know, one more comment about the money system, which I believe makes it even more sinister. It’s not just that they’re printing money out of thin air. We’ve all heard the saying that it’s based on the full faith and credit of the American people. So a corporation such as the Federal Reserve or United States Incorporated, it’s a piece of paper. It has no sentience. It has no energy. It can’t do anything unless somebody can sign on to it and say, hey, I’ll provide real life energy for you. We breathe our life into it whenever we sign on with all the contracts that bring us into their domain. So when we sign that 50 year mortgage, I can’t even imagine that. What we’re really doing with our signature is providing the credit ourselves. So, it’s our energy, it’s our life force that is given to us by our creator to create beauty, you know, on this planet. And they use it. It’s a real matrix-like situation where we are the batteries to keep this artificial entity going. And then based on our signature for whatever how much the loan is, then they give us some credits so we can go out and spend those within their system. But then as you already described, in the fractional reserve system, now let’s just say they gave you $500,000, they can loan 10 times that amount to other people and it just keeps going exponentially into fantastical figures. And then on top of it, they say, well, if these people are so stupid that they’re going to do this for us, let’s go ahead and charge them interest as well. So even though it’s their debt that they created, they do some shenanigans and route it through the security exchange and create a debt instrument that goes back on the left side of the banking ledger. which is now their responsibility. But then when we sign all these stacks of loan papers, we’re actually agreeing to take on their debt as well with interest, and then we pay it back many times if we’re lucky. But then here’s the real sinister part too. They only print enough money to cover the debt based on our loans that we take out, they don’t print enough to cover the interest. So if anybody’s wondering why we have all these homeless folks and even people that, you know, really gave it a good stab, you know, in their adult life to make a living and now they don’t have a home, it’s because not everybody can pay back the full debt with interest because they didn’t print enough to cover all that, and it’s on purpose to kick us out of our home and out of the country that our forefathers paid for with their own blood.Etienne de la Boetie2: It’s a form of economic warfare against the population, and they don’t want the population to have independent wealth. They don’t want people to be independent. They want them dependent upon either the government or the corporations that have been monopolized by the fractional reserve system. And so the, you know, just one more analogy that I like to use about fractional reserve banking, you know, imagine if I have a dollar and you dear, you know, viewer or listener have a dollar and those two dollars, the only dollars in the world. So I have 50% of the world’s wealth and you have 50% of the world’s wealth. And a bank or a government comes along and creates two more dollars out of thin air using fractional reserve banking or quantitative easing or printing press or digital dollar creation. Well now they’ve stolen 50% of the world’s wealth and you and I have been reduced to 25% of the world’s wealth. Now imagine multiplying that by a gazillion transactions and a gazillion dollars. And that creates, it’s the most profitable criminal enterprise on the planet, which is the reason why the bank is generally the largest building in every city on the planet is a bank building. And so those have seen profits. The first thing they did is they bought up the media. So the media wouldn’t tell you what’s going on. And in my book, “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History, I kind of break down a quote from a U.S. congressman that hadn’t entered into the congressional record of how they bought up the top 25 newspapers. And I think it was 1913. And they established an editor for each of those papers, and then they began coordinating the output of 25 newspapers in the United States to be able to widely control the information that the population received during the time of the newspaper. It goes even further back. I also tell the story of it. In the founding of the country, they collapsed a newspaper in Pennsylvania that was reporting on the the shady history of the Constitution and how that was forced on the population as well and the illegitimacy of that. But like that ability to create, sorry, to control perception, to control the information that the population receives really is the most, you know, kind of powerful weapon. But after they bought up the media and consolidated the media so the media wouldn’t tell the population what’s really going on and how they’re being robbed by the system, they began to provide unlimited capital to a handful of companies to buy up and consolidate their industries. And that’s really what we’ve got right now is that they’ve been providing these cartel companies unlimited dollars, and those cartel companies have been buying up family businesses and mom and pop businesses and every kind of business to create a system where they can exercise control through BlackRock and Vanguard and State Street and these large private equity companies that are holding and you know that the ownership of the companies bought up with fractional reserve dollars and providing management to them and controlling the you know, who’s sitting in the C suite and who’s sitting in the CEO position. Um, and, and once you’re, you’re in that hierarchical control system, then they can push down policies. Like everybody gets vaccinated and that’s what they want. They want to be able to push down a policy. Like everybody’s going to take this vaccine that works at this company and you can’t do anything about it because you’re now an employee. You’re not an owner anymore. You’re not a, you know, you’re, and that has been to a large degree how they maneuvered themselves into this catbird seat where now it’s a kind of tax slavery system. And every day that the average American goes to work in January, February, March, April, May, and June, they don’t see a nickel of it. The government is nice enough to spread out the payments over the entire year. But the average person, when you include the overt taxes of the 1040 and the income tax, the covert taxes of every time you get a gallon of gasoline, or buy a beer, or smoke a cigar, or pay your cable bill, or pay your cell phone bill, or get an airline ticket, or all the other ways that they’re taxing you on the sly, and inflation, so that the value that they’re stealing out of your dollars through this corrupt monetary system. That’s over for 50% of the average person’s income. And that’s tax slavery. And that’s you working for the government, which is not really for the government. It’s really for the people that are using government to rob and control the population. So you’re working for this system. Half of the year, you don’t see a nickel of it. They are, like I said, nice enough to spread the payments out over the four years.Dr. Barre Lando: Everything operates with the threat of force or even violence, which I think is the classic definition of criminality. You brought up the Constitution. That could be a vast topic as well, but maybe we’ll just touch on it if you don’t mind. The Constitution, most people think it gives us rights. It doesn’t give us any rights. There is some brilliance in there that delineates what the government is supposed to do and not do. They’ve circumvented that. But the Constitution originally was an abrogation of debt. abrogation, meaning of course that it’s a transfer of debt from one party to another. So after the Revolutionary War, where we borrowed money to fight the Brits, who have never left by the way, We were on the hoof for that, and the colonists said, stick it, when the folks said, hey, will you be sureties for the debt? So they created the Constitution in order to shift that debt to a private corporation. It was incorporated in Delaware. People know that it’s been reincorporated many times, Civil War and everything. But basically it’s their debt and the Constitution created an international business which has become this monster that we’re talking about. And God gives us rights. We are born with them. And it has nothing to do with the Constitution. And I kind of go a little bit nuts every time I hear people talk about their constitutional rights. So what could you add to that?Etienne de la Boetie2: Well, a lot of people don’t realize the word right, you know, everybody uses the word right. I’ve got to write this. I have a right to own a gun. And the word right comes from the natural law tradition. And in the natural law tradition, which is essentially the basics of the golden rule, do unto others as you would have others do unto you, which is in every civilization. Essentially, it’s codified into almost every civilization out there has some version of the golden rule. And so in natural law, there are five, depending on who you ask, there’s five to seven things that are wrongs. Stealing is obviously wrong. Rape is wrong. Murder is wrong. Theft is wrong. And all of these, by the way, are thefts. So murder is the theft of life. Rape is the theft of sexual choice. Theft is theft. You know, trespass is theft. theft of safety in your lair. And so these things are obviously wrong because there’s a victim. And so the other side of that coin is anything that is not a wrong is your right. And so if you’re not hurting somebody else in the world, you have the right to do whatever you want to do as long as you’re not hurting anybody else. Now the government, the Constitution was supposed to codify those rights and just make sure that the government wasn’t going to trample on the rights that everybody understood that they had, not from the government, but from being a free, independent human being on this planet. And so they kind of tricked the population into saying, okay, well, we’ll codify these rights if you go along with us having a government in Washington, D.C., but as I’ve kind of broken down on previous episodes, it’s impossible to have a legitimate moral government. So at the time the Constitution was passed, there was probably three million people living on the continent. And so the idea that four to five dozen slave owners, politicians, and attorneys could go into a room on a continent of 3 million people, okay, and write down on a fancy piece of paper that they alone get to make up rules for everybody and steal the wealth of others, and then proclaim that it’s valid, that was the really big scam is that you can’t do it today. If there’s 10 people on an island, there’s no way, you can’t write down something that forces four people to work for the other six and it to be legitimate, moral, and desirable, and logical. And so government really has been the biggest scam in all of history. Now there’s a lot of, you know, patriot mythology around the idea that we have the best constitution in the world and we have the best government in the world and there’s a gazillion books that the government has written itself explaining how we have the best government in the world, but it’s all poppycock because even if you believe in the The myth of the Constitution that it’s there, that government is created by ourselves to protect our own rights, even if you believe that, it didn’t work. It didn’t protect those rights. The government routinely violates every single one of the Bill of Rights, except for the quartering of soldiers. I don’t think they’ve quartered soldiers for a while. But whether it’s your right not to be searched and seized, try and exercise that when you get pulled over by the police or at an airport. Whether it’s freedom of speech, they’ll put you into a free speech zone and won’t let you have anything. We have freedom of speech without reach. If you’re in the alternative media like you and I are, as you know, you will be demonetized, deplatformed, de-indexed, shadow banned. And so even if people subscribe and want to hear what you have to say, they may not actually see it in their feed, even if they’ve subscribed to you. Your emails are going to go into spam. I could tell you censorship stories forever. And the constitution was supposed to limit the government, and we have the largest government that the world has ever seen, and so the constitution didn’t work. As advertised, even if you believe in the official story of the Constitution, that it was all done to protect your life, liberty, and property, the case I make in “Government” – the Biggest Scam in History , is that it’s best thought of as a technique for robbing and controlling populations, and that they get away with it because they have co-opted the Monopoly Media and Monopoly Academia, the mandatory government school, or the mandatory government school and the media, every single channel, government is legitimate, government is legitimate, government is legitimate, until as an adult, you can step back and you may never encounter that idea because it’s the biggest secret the government wants to keep from you and the bankers want to keep from you and the system wants to keep from you is the idea that it is illegitimate on its face. It is impossible to have a moral, logical, legitimate government. There’s no way to do it with a constitution. There’s no way to do it with a coronation. There’s no way to do it with a ceremony. There’s no way to do it with an election. There’s no way to have a moral, legitimate government. That’s the thing they don’t want you to know, but you really have to be able to step back from what you were indoctrinated as a kid with what this, and we’ll talk about, and not just indoctrinated as a kid, but they’ve been, as I break down in the new book, to see the cages, to leave it, it’s the media coming in on every single channel, and not just it’s the government is legitimate, the government is legitimate, the government is legitimate, but they’re actually running tricks with the media to give you a warm and fuzzy about the government. By doing things like product placing the American flag at moments of high positive emotion, always making the government the hero, the government’s always saving the day, the CIA is, you know, thank God for the CIA, otherwise there would be nuclear bombs going off in every city on the planet on a pretty regular basis if it wasn’t for the CIA. The FBI is saving the day. There’s a movie last Christmas season about a TSA guy that saves a city from a nerve gas attack. It’s ridiculous. The government is making itself the hero, controlling the information the population receives. And here’s the big reveal. I’ll just give it away to the audience. They’re presenting government as a religion. where the state is the god and they’re not calling it a religion but they’re using all the tricks and techniques of an unethically manipulative religion to get people to go along with government, including, like I said, these unethically manipulative techniques where they’re having Hollywood weave the government’s legitimacy, desirability, and necessity into both movies, television shows, popular culture. They’re putting it into your social media feeds. They’re putting things like You know, Lee Greenwood singing, thank God I’m an American, at least I know I’m free, into your social media feeds. They’re suggesting government sponsored books for you. They’re in every place you look around and you probably have never noticed it. But the magic of the book, to see the cages, to leave it, is it’s very picture-oriented. And once you see it, and once you recognize, oh man, I’ve just never noticed. One of the things the book does is you can’t even just flip through it without going, I’ve never noticed that pattern. I’ve never noticed. That’s what’s going on. Is that what you found?Dr. Barre Lando: That was the brilliance of your first book, “Government” – The Biggest Scam. I had that on my coffee table. They’re wonderful coffee table books. I had people come over, a couple in-laws I’m thinking of in particular, that are pretty brainwashed. They could listen to me and they’d just write me off as a whack job when I just try to present some possibilities. know that they might think about but then you start thumbing through this book and it’s very picture-oriented and you know it really caught the attention of a lot of people that would come through my house now in similar fashion I was holding this up before Your latest book is wonderful in the same way. Maybe would you like to go through the 25 techniques? I know it would take a long time to go through all of them, and you’ve already hit on a good number of them, but let’s open up the book. For instance, you were talking about how they debauched the currency. And everything that you were talking about, you know, is here with nice imagery and very easy to understand that, you know, for people that don’t want to read Federal Reserve publications, it actually tell you what they’re actually doing to rob us. And because they know nobody’s going to read that stuff. So here it is right here. Just I’m going to the page where the 25 techniques. So should we go through those? You can take them in any order and maybe highlight and talk about them?Etienne de la Boetie2: Sure. Well, absolutely. Technique number one is the mandatory government school, if I remember correctly. The mandatory government school, we’re going to take kids when they’re young, before they’re old enough to really understand what’s being done with them. And we’re going to put them into a mandatory government school where the teacher, the priest, so you can think of the government school as the church. You can think of the public school teacher as the priest, where she’s going to teach the children about the holy documents of the Constitution. where she is going to have them pledge their allegiance to a kind of common prayer to the flag. There’s going to be a social, you know, it’s going to be, it’s going to be, you know, like all the other kids are doing it, so surely you want to do it too. It’s hard. There’s a social pressure to, you know, to participate. They’re going to sing the hymns of the national anthem and the Star Spangled Banner. When they’re in middle school, they will be taken to Washington, D.C., Mecca, okay, the holy city, and they will be taken to the Capitol, which is a carbon copy of the Vatican for a reason. So there, you know, it is a cathedral towards government, to the god of government. And government is presented not as a tool to take care of, to protect life, liberty, and property. Government is presented as something that you would pray to by voting. So voting is kind of like the equivalent of prayer to make the world the way that you want it to be. to protect you from the potential of not having money in your old age, or not having money as a single mom, or whatever it is. Government is the supernatural entity that is going to protect you against all of the harms of the world that might befall you. And all you have to do is be willing to participate and promote this system, which is going to rob and extort money from your friends, your neighbors, and your relatives, and it will give you that money and it will transfer it to you. And as a middle schooler, it blows your mind. I still remember going to these school trips to the capitals and to the you know, and you’re away from your parents for the first time, and it’s like great fun, and they’re going to take you into the temples, the monuments, and they’re going to show you the deities of Lincoln and Jefferson, and it’s going to be very hushed, and it’s going to be very reverent, and you’re going to be kind of subsumed into this system.Dr. Barre Lando: You could think of it almost as a form of idolatry, can’t you?Etienne de la Boetie2: Well, it is, it is idolatry because government is presented as the God that if you, if you worship it, if you pray to it, that it will give you what you want. Okay. Whether, you know, it’s going to provide for you in your old age, it’s going to provide for you in your time of need. It’s going to take care of you when you’re sick. Dr. Barre Lando: You have a lot of wonderful quotes.Etienne de la Boetie2: Yeah, it is. It is a hundred percent idolatry. And I’ve got a link, uh, the, both of the books are supported by a, uh, a credit card-sized flash drive that we call the liberator. And this is what it looks like. And so on this book, we actually have a book put out by the Libertarian Christian Institute called The Idolatry of Statism, where they actually break down chapter and verse.Dr. Barre Lando: I have mine right here.Etienne de la Boetie2: There you go. Oh, you have a 32. We’re up to 64 gigs.Dr. Barre Lando:Oh, I’m behind. OK.Etienne de la Boetie2: I will get you one. Thanks. I’ll get you one out, one of the new ones out. These are brilliant.Dr. Barre Lando: These are amazing.Etienne de la Boetie2: And in addition to books like The Idolatry of Statism, we’ve got documentaries, and we’ve got truth music from the Liberty Movement’s hottest artists, and we’ve got memes, and we’ve got short videos, and it’s just chock full of everything that is being censored off the internet. And it’s a way of making sure that some of this evidence of government illegitimacy and evidence of government criminality doesn’t go anywhere. And then once you have a liberator, you are authorized and encouraged to make copies, free copies for your friends. And so a lot of people, you know, I run into a lot of people that come up to me at conferences or events and they’re like, hey, I discovered your work. Because we were at a Liberty meetup and somebody came in and they threw down 30 flash drives and everybody got one. That’s how I discovered your work. And so there’s no way to stop, like the good news, I guess the good news part of my message is there’s no way to stop the signal in the information age. There’s no way that, you know, they can, they can try and they can, Deplatform you they can be monetize you they can be index you but we’re we’re figuring out ways of getting around that censorship even if it’s sneaker netting, you know, it’s a brilliant system. It really works. But that is the so that is the core of it. The number one technique is the government school system. And that’s really a whole bunch of other techniques. So there’s a whole bunch of techniques assumed under that because when you’re in the government school system, they’re going to run techniques on your kids like collective punishment. public shaming. They’re going to use the red, yellow, green troublemaker board to where if you talk out of turn, you know, you go, they’re going to move your child’s name from the green part of the board to the yellow part of the board. And if he talks again, he goes to the red part of the board and they’ll put him at the quiet table, which is really the public shaming table in the center of the of the cafeteria during lunch where he’s there by himself and is kind of in the middle of this. It’s like the equivalent of the town stops.Dr. Barre Lando: Talk about abuse. I grew up in the old school system where the nun just broke a ruler over the back of your knuckles, but it’s evolved quite a bit since then it seems like.Etienne de la Boetie2: Well, I had a football coach that would paddle us with a paddle that had air holes in it, and you would get popped. I grew up in Texas and we had corporal punishment. You’re going to do what the government employee tells you, and if you don’t do what the government employee tells you, then they will hit you with a paddle that has air holes in it, wielded by the football coach.Dr. Barre Lando: And talk about football as being one of their theatrics that, you know, get us into the whole militaristic mindset. You know, I played college and one of the teams we played in the season was University of Texas. We go to Austin Stadium and boy, you go and there’s 110,000 people and they’re rolling out the American flags and jets are flying overhead. And it’s quite a show. And then, of course, the Football camp is run just like a military basic training sort of thing. And yes, sir, no, sir. And yeah, it’s pretty incredible. And we love to go see the Gladiators.Etienne de la Boetie2: I played football too. I didn’t play in college, but I played in high school. And so I’m a fan of football. I love the game, but I just want you to know, but I’m also, you know, I realize now kind of like what was going on and we’re going to get the best and the brightest and we’re going to crash them together in a way. almost designed to produce brain damage. And what’s being done today, especially at the NFL level, is the football team becomes the artificial tribe. And so human beings are very, very tribal. And so your real tribe is your family and your neighbors and your church. and your people that you work with, that’s your real tribe. And so they don’t want you spending time and focused on your real tribe and how y’all can all grow together and how y’all can all support each other and how you can all… you know, help each other, whether it’s co-garden or whether it’s, you know, uh, you know, help somebody start a business or whether it’s, you know, takes care of somebody that’s, that maybe needs their house repaired in the community. They don’t want you focused on that because that’s the things that bring people together and strengthen the community and strengthen the tribe and strengthen everything. They would much rather have you focused on this artificial tribe, where you’re taking a solid part of your weekend and you’re wasting it watching, frankly, adults play children’s games. But this monopoly system is going to go ahead and make that seem like that’s masculine and that’s what you’re supposed to do if you’re a man and that’s how you spend Saturday and Sunday afternoon. You don’t talk about you don’t talk about politics and religion during Thanksgiving, you, everybody just watches a piece of furniture. And so like that is, that is part of the way that it’s been indoctrinated into the system. I still love to play the game. I like to watch a game as much as anybody else, but I try and keep that piece of the pie, that entertainment piece of the pie. at the kind of right proportion that it should be in it doesn’t you know that that piece of the pie doesn’t take up the entire plate it’s just a little sliver and I you know and I get a little bit of it like like you would have candy. And that’s the if everybody did that we’d be a lot better off as a city.Dr. Barre Lando: Yeah, and we could uh, Enjoy ourselves in the game and there’s there’s no harm in that So you have 25 of these and uh, you know, it’d take a long time to go through all them But we have number two government affiliated scouting programs three junior reserve officer four police training five military basic training Any of those that you’d like to highlight and then we can go through a few more after that or anything after that?Etienne de la Boetie2: If you take a look at the government’s mandatory school system is going to produce a taxpayer that is going to tithe and is going to semi-voluntarily hand over 50% of their income to the cult to the cult leadership and they’re going to gather around the pope of the religion, the president. And a lot of people are going to invest part of their identity in the leader. And so one of the things I break down further in the book is that human beings are biologically predisposed to have a strong leader. And so because we were just talking about the tribal nature of human beings and in the artificial tribe, it has been an advantage to have a strong leader. And so what the system will do is present you a blue leader or a red leader. The red leader is designed to appeal to kind of rural conservatives. The blue leader is designed to appeal to kind of urban liberals. Okay. And they’re going to give you what’s known as a Hobson’s choice. The Hobson’s choice is a fake choice. Old man Hobson ran a livery stable and you could rent any horse you wanted as long as it was the one closest to the door. So the term Hobson’s choice means no choice at all. And so you can either have blue government leader or you can have red government leader and then that’s going to be the pope of the artificially indoctrinated religion. And then a lot of people, because there is a biological desire to have a leader, they get themselves invested. And you can see it. It’s cult-like. It’s the leader of the cult. You can see people in the MAGA movement. You can see them exhibiting the classic. textbook examples of cult followers doing cult things, whether it’s wearing the red MAGA hat, whether it’s putting the bandage over the ear after his fake assassination attempt, whatever it is that, you know, it’s wearing the the flag, you know, wearing symbolically the flag of the system that is enslaving and controlling them.Somewhat humorously in many occasions, as you can see in the book of of people literally dressing themselves in the American flag and so you can so once you see it that’s really what the book is designed to do is is you cannot flip through the book and not realize what’s going on and then once you see it, you can never ever unsee it. Most people, not everybody, if you’re getting your paycheck from the government, if you’ve been through Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, Junior ROTC, ROTC, military training, and in some cases police training after that, there’sDr. Barre Lando: You can’t, you can’t really be, you know, you’re not, you know, in my demographic, I hear the excuse a lot, you know, because everybody’s on social security or some kind of retirement and they can’t buck the system because they’re dependent on it. But as things get exposed and some people are actually willing to look at information, it does breed a bit of ambivalence in people. But then what I hear from my peers is that, well, I’m too old to do anything about it and I can’t change at this point. So they count on everybody going along even when they know that it’s a big scam. But I think the younger generation coming up, whatever they call them, X, Z, whatever, they’re, you know, there’s the folks that unfortunately get in the college system, they might be gone forever. But there’s a lot of youngsters that are really questioning things now. And it gives me hope. And also, I look at my own kids. We brought them up at home, birthed them at home, homeschooled them. Now they have kids. They’ve done the same exact thing. And so there is a number of kids coming up that really give us promise if the present government doesn’t do something to succeed in trying to kill everybody, which is exactly what they’re trying to do right now. So, we’ve got information by the military, number six, intelligence, you got into CIA.Etienne de la Boetie2: Let’s go back to the military. Yeah, I want to just, because I like, it’s a really, you know, the Cub Scouts and the Boy Scouts and the Explorers and the JROTC is a really core piece of it that most people never give a second thought to. And I was a Cub Scout. I was a Boy Scout. And so I like to say that scouting, like rat poison, rat poison is 99% delicious food. Otherwise, the rats wouldn’t eat it. But at the core of scouting is a hidden curriculum of the flag worship of the pre-militarization of getting you into the uniform. And so it’s a government-sponsored affiliated youth program where the kids are going to receive awards, either Cub Scout Adventure Loops or Boy Scout Merit Badges for regurgitating the doctrine of the religion And then again, there’s going to be social pressure placed on them to participate. Everyone is constantly doing flag ceremonies and pledging allegiance to the flag, and they’re learning how to … You can’t throw the flag away when it’s done. You’ve got to bury the flag. You’ve got to burn the flag in a ceremony, and then a lot of times the ashes are then ceremonially buried. And so they’re going to create this reverence for the government, and they’re going to give kids awards for regurgitating the doctrine of the religion, and they’re going to run these unethically manipulative techniques on the kids while they’re in there, like the uniform. And so uniform means single form. And what it is, is it’s replacing an individual identity with a group identity. So now the kids are part of the group, and this is what the group does. And then they pile on, they create a kind of artificial group pressure for everybody to go along within the group. And then a lot of people don’t realize, but especially now in the modern age, a lot of these kids, scouting has become a parking lot for autistic kids. And so the brain damage of the mercury and aluminum-laced vaccines has produced all of these kids that don’t socialize well with other kids. And so a lot of the kids that are in scouting today, they’ve been put there because that’s the way that their parent, the mom, the single mom can get their kid to play with other kids. and be assured that the kid is going to get some time with other kids and get friends with other kids.Dr. Barre Lando: Interesting. Yeah, I hadn’t considered that.Etienne de la Boetie2: You’ve got brain damaged kids that are being put through these techniques and then they come out and they go into the military where they have that same, so they’ve been indoctrinated into the love of the uniform. They’ve been conditioned into hierarchical command and control from kind of like a young age. They’re participating in all of the flag worship and they’re, you know, they’re being, you know, forced to learn, like a cookie at the end, the, you know, citizenship in the world, citizenship in the nation are two of the merit badges that you have to get. It’s not even, they’re not even the mandatory ones. It’s not even the, you know, the optional ones. It’s the mandatory ones that you have to get. And then once you regurgitate that, they give you the cookie of the Cub Scout Adventure Loop or the Merit Badge. But that system is ultimately going to produce what is known as an order follower. And so the government school produces the taxpayer that’s willing to semi-voluntarily tithe and, you know, believes in the idea of the state and the government and everything like that, the Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Explorers, JROTC, ROTC, that’s going to produce an order follower that’s willing to set their morality aside and use violence for the government on peaceful people. In the military, we’re going to go abroad and kill whoever we’re told. And in the police force, we’re going to use violence on peaceful people either to enforce the morality of the religion, we’re going to arrest people for things that aren’t really crimes, victimless crimes like smoking a plant or gambling or whatever, you know, like things that we’re going to, we’re going to use violence on people to arrest them for things that aren’t really crimes, which then compacts the police into an unhealthy dynamic because they’re really the criminals because they’re using. So again, they’re violating natural law. They’re creating harm in society. They’re doing wrongs. Okay. And so that compacts them into an unhealthy group dynamic, or they’re going to raise revenue for the government and the police force by doing road piracy and pulling people over for, you know, victimless crimes, trying to search their car. trying to find the end of a joint so that they can confiscate the vehicle, or finding thousands of dollars, or whatever it is. So they’re going to rob their neighbors for the government. And the system that produces that is the Cub Scouts, Weeblos, Boy Scouts, Explorers, JROTC, ROTC, and then police and military training. Final thing on that is if you’re not, You know, a lot of people don’t even realize this, but there’s, after Boy Scouts, there’s a program called Explorers. And there’s either, there’s police explorers, there’s secret service explorers, there’s military explorers. And so now, this is, now the kids are gonna be segmented off, away from the rest of society. They’re gonna go, in the summertime, they’re gonna go to military bases, where they’re gonna be put into the uniform, they’re gonna have their head shaved, they’re gonna be compacted into this. You know, there’s other unethically manipulative techniques that the military will run, you know, once you get into the military. But they start it on the explorers. On the police side, they’ll be given uniforms, like little mini police uniforms. They’ll begin doing ride-alongs with the police officers. And so a lot of people don’t realize that this is going on. A lot of people don’t realize that the government’s running high schools where the entire curriculum is the government or the Marine Corps or the military. And so these kids are coming up and they’re being subjected to these unethically manipulative techniques that’s all woven around allegiance to government and being willing to kill for government and being willing to use violence. on their friends and family and neighbors for the government and people don’t think about it, you know, about like what’s really going on, I break it all down in the book. I could have, like, you know, I use, you know, police, like military training is one technique, but actually there’s, in that one article on the techniques that the military is using, you know, there’s probably a dozen, I probably listed over a dozen like little sub techniques in addition to the uniform and the shaving of the head and the, you know, the, but like, you know, it’s sleep deprivation. It’s, uh, it’s collective punishment. It’s the, it’s the, if you, if you’ve seen full metal jacket, you know, you’ve seen the blanket party and blanket party is where they take the nonconforming and they’ll hold them down on their bunk and everybody else in the platoon or the training regiment or whatever it is will come and they’ll either wrap a towel a soap bar and a towel to make a flail. A flail is something that you swing and it hits you. It’s called a blanket party.Dr. Barre Lando: And if they really don’t like you, it’ll be a lock in a sock.Etienne de la Boetie2: And so the soap bar and the towel hurts like hell, but the lock in the sock is the one that if they really don’t like you, you know, you’re being beaten with a padlock in a sock as a flail. And it still goes on today. I have a friend of mine’s son, they did it to his son. And so I know for a fact it still goes on today. It’s not just something in the movies. And so these are just a few, just a small handful of the unethically manipulative techniques that they’re using on the police and the military to get them to use violence for the government, either to raise revenue or to go abroad and murder people in these wars that are for resources and stealing oil and whatever is the lie of the day of why we’re going to war.Dr. Barre Lando: Yeah, and World War II was really the genesis of all this, where, you know, my dad came back from World War II. He was Air Force, and they were really believing that they fought a just war and did good things. Now, in hindsight, we realize it goes a little deeper than that. I grew up hearing about, well, to be a man you should go to the military and become disciplined and that’s the way you do it. So it continues all the way into the extremes that you’re speaking on as far as what has evolved too. I think we’re right there. We look at other countries, like overt communist countries, and it’s still couched in the Constitution and freedom, but what’s the difference between ourselves and a communist state?Etienne de la Boetie2: That’s a fascinating point that you just brought up, because one of the things I broke down in “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History as you know, is that there is a playbook of techniques. The new book focuses on the religious aspect of it, but all of these techniques are being used by the so-called bad countries as well. In “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History I looked at 20 techniques And then I looked at it, you know, what it was in Nazi Germany, what it looked like in East Germany, what it looked like in the Soviet Union, and what it looked like in the United States. And so on each page, you know, you can see the technique. And then, you know, you’re left scratching your head because, well, wait a minute. We’re the good guys. Why are we using the same techniques as the Nazis, the Soviets, or the East Germans? And you realize, hey, wait, it is. It’s a playbook. You can’t flip through the book and not understand that this is a playbook. Most people are visual learners. They come to insight very, very quickly. And so once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And whether, you know, like, let’s let’s let the boogeyman of today, you know, Iran and North Korea and Russia, what what what techniques are they running on their own tax slaves and on their own populations are running mandatory government schools. They’re running government-affiliated youth programs. They’re running, you know, they’ve got their equivalent of the Boy Scouts and the Explorer program. They’ve got their equivalent of the JROTC and the ROTC. They’ve got their own, like it’s the exact same program even in the bad countries. And once somebody goes through the program, then you’ve got somebody that’s willing to goose step You’ve got somebody that’s willing to use violence on their neighbors. You’ve got somebody that’s not able to really think because they’ve been controlling the information that they receive. They’ve moved them off to a military base. They control the information to them. They’ve run all these unethically manipulative techniques on them. They’ve shot them full of vaccines. They can’t think straight. Uh, you know, now you’ve got, uh, you’ve got a force that is willing to, you know, uh, you know, willing to, you know, in the case of like what ice is doing right now is willing to go and scoop up people in the middle of the night and. and black bag them into vehicles. And I think they’re just getting the population used to having goons on the street that will scoop up people.Dr. Barre Lando: No doubt about it. No doubt about it. And one of the main planks of communism is primary is the abolition of private property, which has been achieved in our country by attaching a warranty deed to our homes, which means we don’t own it anymore. So I would challenge anybody to read the Ten Planks of Communism and find one deviation from how we do things in America.Etienne de la Boetie2: And to that point as well, so the banks trick people into these mortgages, they create the mortgage, create the money out of thin air, and then when you can’t pay, even if you’ve paid you know, 29 years on your 30 year mortgage or I guess 49 years on your 50 year mortgage and you’ve already paid two to three times. the amount that you borrowed in interest and you can’t make those final payments, who’s going to come and take that house? It’s going to be the people that they’ve run through these unethically manipulative programs. They will come and they will take your house. because they’re order followers and they’re going to set their morality aside and all they can do is follow orders and this is how they’ve set the system up and this is how they do it. And so now you’ve paid 29 years or 49 years on your mortgage, you’ve more than paid for the house on a loan that they created out of thin air that they made up out of whole cloth and whatever. and they’ll take your house and now they have real wealth and you’re now homeless and the guy that did that for them is this guy that went through the Cub Scouts, the Weeblos, the Boy Scouts, the Explorers, the JROTC, the ROTC and had all of these dozens and dozens and dozens of manipulative techniques unethically manipulative techniques run on them to produce someone that would do that deed for them and steal your house.Dr. Barre Lando: So we’ve run through a good number of the overt methods that are utilized. Number 10 could start off, you know, we’re kind of implying this all along, but number 10 is subliminal programming. Would you like to comment on that at all?Etienne de la Boetie2: So a lot of the things that come out of Hollywood, there’s a lot of subliminals in them without you knowing. And so I think the one that you’re talking about is subliminal text. And there’s a sign-off message from the 1960s. And for the younger members of your audience, I had to explain what a sign-off message was. But in the old days of television, television wasn’t 24 seven. And at the end of the broadcast day, around 1 o’clock or 2 o’clock in the morning, there would be the sign-off message. And the sign-off message was always government propaganda. It was always, generally, it was the flag flying. And it would be heroic landscapes and Indians and American iconography and everything. And so this particular one from the 1960s has the text. of the Star Spangled Banner is being, you know, scrolling across the bottom of the screen as somebody’s singing the Star Spangled Banner. And you gotta understand at one o’clock, two o’clock in the morning, most people are in kind of an alpha state, and that’s a brainwave state where information flows into the brain uncritically. It’s just accepted by the brain. There’s no cognitive processing to it. And so these messages are scrolling as the words of the Star Spangled Banner are scrolling off the screen. Other words are flashed on the screen as it scrolls off. And the messages that are being flashed on the screen is, government is God, obey God, government. Rebellion won’t be tolerated. you know, messages like government is God. And so that, so the, so the God again, so it’s, you know, the, the, the title, the subtitle of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History is “How inter-generational organized crime runs the government, media and academia”. So they’re controlling the information that comes to you, including putting subliminal text into your feed, okay, when you’re in an alpha state and when information is flowing in uncritically, and so they’re telling you that government is God and that rebellion won’t be tolerated and obey the government, and they’re doing it in an unethically manipulative trick. So they’re running a trick on you. And then some of the other kind of, you know, like I guess some of the modern equivalents is the product placement of the flag. And so some of the other techniques that I cover in the book are, you know, there’s a documentary that breaks down a lot of academic scholarship around the fact that Hollywood, that the government is paying Hollywood to weave pro-government messages into movies and television shows. Sometimes this is done by, you know, providing them with, you know, millions and millions or tens of millions of dollars worth of military equipment, the F-18s for, you know, for Top Gun Maverick, the carriers, the military bases to shoot on. And in exchange, the directors are weaving the American flag, product placing it in moments of high positive emotion, and they’re changing their scripts. The other thing that the documentary is called Theaters of War, and you can actually, in the book, there’s a number of different short videos, and you can just QR code scan with your phone a page from the book, or if you’re in the the EPUB version of the book, you can click on that video and it will actually play the trailer for this documentary, Theaters of War. But Theaters of War breaks down over 1,000 movies and over 1,000 television shows in which the government has had some kind of input into the creative process, frequently exerting script control and changing history in many cases. So when you see war, you know, portrayed on screen, you’re seeing a sanitized version; you’re not going to see the My Lai massacre.
