On Saturday attendees at Houston’s End The Fed rally were exposed to the ideas of complete liberty, compliments of activist extraordinaire John Bush.
I have nothing but respect for John for reasons that should be obvious – he’s a doer and an effective and passionate speaker able to distill down a seemingly complex issue into one that’s clear and accessible.
It’s all about choice – when your ability to choose is restricted or denied entirely as is the case for “law enforcement” and the criminal [in]justice system today, accountability is non-existent and market signals are absent. But as John outlined, we need not be satisfied with the Statist Quo or live in fear; we can strengthen our communities and create institutions that serve our needs more efficiently and morally. As that happens, legitimacy granted to violence-based monopolistic institutions is eroded – eventually becoming just a relic of the past.
Thanks to TrinityTexas77 for recording!

Apparently Pete saw a different video than what is poeted here. What nonsense this is. This Private Defense Agency crap is nonsense. (Oh, for those who don’t know, just because someone wrote down their theory or idea in a book, DOESN’T MAKE IT RIGHT OR TRUE!) In very short order this idea would undoubtly lead directly to a ‘warlord’ type environment, where only the strong (those who can afford to pay) would have any protection at all.
The current system certainly has its flaws. Absolutely. But this mindless anarchist crap would be far worse.
Think it through. I can’t believe all the ‘freedom lovers’ who frequent this site would ever put forth this garbage. This is the stuff that dictators are made of. Certainly no freedom there.
The only thing worse than this video are the ones that are strung to it. Those are so mindless that they would be funny if not being so sad because those people think that they are so right.
I guess you prefer one monopoly warlord? Ask the poor how the one warlord system is working for them. I’m sure they love being forced to pay for police brutality against themselves.
@T, There is a handful of private security agencies in my town, and your ‘warlord” theory is as stupid as your whining is. Hes trying to get people to help each other, with answers to questions they have about law, or how to move a heavy box, and maybe get the community to get to know their neighbors. Like you said, “just because you wrote your “expressway to Dictatorship” theory, dosen’t make it true. I did like the way you kept tossing in the “keywords” “warlord” “anarchist” “penis potato” oops I meant Dick tatter, I liked your troll act, its always funny,thats because your funny
