Etienne de la Boetie2 & Crew @ the Porcupine Freedom Festival in New Hampshire
We recently attended the Porcupine Freedom Festival (PorcFest) that brings together 2500+ voluntaryists, libertarians and peaceful anarchists in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The event is the largest gathering of the Free State Project, a mass migration that has organized between 7,000-10,000+ freedom lovers in New Hampshire to roll back “government” to just protecting life, liberty and property with another 24,000+ that have pledged to join them with new folks arriving into the state every single week.
The Annual Group Photo… A fraction of the total attendees over the week-long camping event. The group fills up the largest RV park in the state, every single tent camping spot in the park, the on-site motel and many other hotels, Air BnBs, and other accommodations in the area.
Etienne & Julie Marie at the Art of Liberty Foundation booth. We served attendees vegan fare and homemade sugar-free watermelon & lime juice made with organic fruit and spring water.
We partnered with Alu Axelman of the Liberty Block and the Foundation for New Hampshire Independence, who is joining the Art of Liberty Foundation as our first outside researcher and fellow. Here are Etienne and Alu kicking around the Free State Project and the potential for New Hampshire to secede from the US with comedian and podcast host Sam Tripoli.
Etienne was broadcasting live on Sam Tripoli’s Tin Foil Hat podcast, where Alu made the case for New Hampshire’s peaceful and orderly secession from the US.
Etienne de la Boetie2 and Mark Passio presented at the Freedom Under Natural Law Conference live from the Autonomy Café at the Porcupine Freedom Festival. The subject was Voting is Violence – Why You Don’t Want to Participate in Organized Crime’s Rigged Poker Game… Except in New Hampshire! Mark Passio is the proprietor of WhatOnEarthIsHappening.com and one of the foremost scholars of Natural Law and voluntaryist political philosophy.
Here is a shot of the local crowd at the Autonomy Cafe! Thanks to Richard Grove, Joshua Hale, and Stephanie Kosonen of Autonomy/Tragedy & Hope for hosting Etienne and Mark for the presentation!

Mike, co-host of the Terrain Theory Podcast, came to our talk on the Pre-State Project and produced a podcast episode that you can find below. He also included a segment on singer/songwriter Brendan Daniel, who we met camping next to us and invited to join our posse.

My talk on the Pre-State Project, our plan on accelerating the Liberty goals of the Free State Project by widely exposing the illegitimacy and criminality of “government” in New Hampshire in a way that gets around the monopolization of the media and the algorithmic censorship of the DARPA Internet.

The poker room… Ernest Hancock of Freedom’s Phoenix, Corey Haag, editor of the Liberty Uncensored, about to play with the new Memphis Mafia (Etienne’s crew). Yes, that is Captain Kickass from Free Talk Live mixing cocktails in the back. Jason Henza from the HBO hit piece: The Anarchists is dealing. I still don’t believe his story… but hey.. we are friendly, and we can agree to disagree agreeably!
PorcFest.. where privately owned, vehicle-mounted, drum-fed assault weapons, make everyone feel just a little safer!
It’s like burning man… cept its a porcupine! There is a bonfire every night at PorcFest!
Jordan Page rocked the house! You can check out his music in the truth music folder in The Liberator.
We gave everyone at sneak peak at the White Rose MUCHO GRANDE posters that the Art of Liberty Foundation is officially launching THIS WEEK at FredomFest in Memphis.
That is the Washington DC flag getting tread on!
PorcFest is a family-friendly event where kids co-exist safely with small pockets of what can only be described as complete debauchery self-contained in the “adult section” of the campground. Here is a group of kids learning to make swords from pool noodles and PVC pipe. Many kids are learning to be entrepreneurs. One double-digit midget made over $2500 last year selling homemade blowguns with 3D-printed darts and running his own Zombie target range.
One of the things I love about PorcFest is that so many people are trading in Goldbacks, silver, and even ammunition! We were selling “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed!, Liberators, and vegan fare and ended up with almost $400 in gold and silver. Someone even traded me five 9mm lugar rounds (for a .35 per bullet credit) which was interestingly the same number and type of bullets that I got arrested for by the Secret Service for having at the White House in 2020!
We are distributing free copies of “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! to politicians, journalists, bloggers, and influential folks in the state as part of our Pre-State Project. Here is GOP Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy getting his free copy from Etienne. Your sponsorship and donations to the Art of Liberty Foundation and subscription to this Substack make these free copies possible!

PorcFest couldn’t happen without amazing volunteers behind the scenes making everything go smoothly. From medics to PorcRangers to unloading and loading. Thank you for your service!
White, the balloon man, passed during this year’s event. Rest In Peace!
