Anarchapulco continues blowing my mind, and I don't even know where to start, so let's just DIVE INTO IT!
Nathan Freeman at the opening day
I will be sharing my impressions, experiences and my favorite speakers from the Anarchapulco conference, that is happening now (started on Feb 15th) in Acapulco, Mexico. The 1700 tickets sold out weeks before the conference which is a huge growth (over 100%?) from last year and a from what I see around and the feedback I'm getting it's pretty safe to say that next year it won't be hard to sell out a 4000 peeps venue.
Starting with the resort. But actually no, it will already be a long post, so I will make a separate post dedicated just to the resort. It deserves it!
Now to speakers. I saw speak only around 10 of them. I like spending time in the ocean and running/walking the beach and exploring the area around. Coming from cold Vancouver, the beach time was a healing and much needed time for me. But I did picked a few speakers I was inclined to hear and also some randomly or from recommendations of other people. And I must say- what a ride! I was blown away more than once by both the speakers and the audience. Amazing overall mood! Here are my favorites:
Sterlin Luxan
.
Sterlin is frikin amazing speaker with great cause. He is super active on steemit and here is his profile @sterlinluxan :
https://steemit.com/@sterlinluxan
.
After Sterlin's speech: Sterlin is in the middle, I'm right of him and @lukestokes is on the far right
.
What I loved about his speech is that he connected the new tech such as crypto, and the whole emerging paradigm of human awakening and fall of current system with spirituality, which definitely resonates with me. Just one thing I'd slightly disagree with is his statement that the new tech is even more important than spiritual awakening. I don't think so, since the latter is the aspect of the former, it's a symptom of it. Internet came along as a result of our higher vibration and so did blockchain in my humble opinion. Humanity is finally getting ripe for a true spiritual resolution so these technologies can be channeled. It's important to note that unless we change our current mindset and become less ego-driven, new tech might do more damage than benefits, as it did many times in human history.
But I think we basically agreed on it with Sterlin. I had a chat with him later in person. After all he declared that his moment of awakening that changed his whole life completely happened after he took MDMA and awakened to the greater truth of his Higher Self, not when he learned about bitcoin. It was a spiritual awakening that gave him the necessary boost to live and become the change in the world, if I understood it correctly. But I'd hate to judge anyone, he knows his truth and only him. What matters to me is that I totally resonate with the message he brings to this world!
Overall- awesome public speaking skills, very well structured presentation and well chosen strong points points that some other speakers missed (importance of parenting, un-schooling etc..). I'm your big fan from now on bro! Keep on rocking and THANK YOU @sterlinluxan !
Make sure to follow him!
LARKEN ROSE & LAUREN SOUTHERN DETATE
.
Larken on the left Lauren on the right
.
Theme of the debate was: What about muh borders?
Ok I'll be short on this one and might be harsh towards Lauren, so please forgive me. I know deep down you're nothing but love Lauren, but at this point you are thinking in the very same mentality that created the problem, pretending that you can resolve the problem using it all over again. You also based your version of "facts" on TV reality fake news BS, not on your personal experience (like traveling to those "dangerous" countries you so wholeheartedly denounce and from whose immigrants you want to protect yourself from). I'm glad that I got the occasion to grab the mic and ask you that question and got a thundering applause for it from the whole audience:
Dear Lauren, 20 years ago I would have been your biggest fan, but then two things happened: I spent 5 years in special units of one unnamed army and later on I traveled 100 countries. Nothing of what you say seems to align with what was my first hand experience. So my question for you is: how many of those so called dangerous places have you been to? Cause from my experience, there is the same human spirit and good heart in every single human regardless of religion, ethnicity or culture. There is not US AGAINST THEM. There is only US, HUMANITY!
She did not have much to say to that. Cause yeah, as I suspected it, she did not travel much, definitely not to "dangerous Muslim countries" she used as the key of her offense.
Larken Rose's views kept on being called "fantasy" by her, but hello ma'am, it's these very same people who can think outside of the box who actually ever changed the world for better!! I think that you are the one who lives inside a fantasy, and a violent TV version of it unfortunately.
Anyways, Larken is THE MAN and he won the debate IMHO, hands down and thanks God people are getting awakened enough to hear the truth in what he says! @larkenrose profile:

Follow him!!
I actually have to run to his solo speech now, which will be my last in Anarchapulco (I unfortunately have to head back to Vancouver tonight...) so I'll finish this blog later, see ya!
Dayna Martin
.
Dayna is a very open and vulnerable speaker which is just amazing to deliver her important message.
.
Dayna's speech was entitled Breeding Freedom: control kills Childhood. She talked about the conspiracy against natural birth in hospitals and benefits of delivering your child at home, under supervision of professional and enlightened midwife (which is one of the things that Dayna does for living too), as well as benefits of home schooling and the dangers of public educational system, which I could not agree with more. I truly loved her presentation. I just noticed @jeffberwick actually dedicated his latest post to her, so you can check it out here:
I am very happy that me and my partner @gladysmak agree on these important points because it is of primary importance to us to raise healthy and independently thinking children, not indoctrinated slavelings damaged by public schooling system, vaccines and other crap.
Dr. Ron Paul
.
Oh well do I even have to add anything to this? Ex-senator Dr. Ron Paul is just the same old humble, intelligent, honest, kind and brave Ron Paul that we know from presidential campaigns. He didn't say anything that he would not say before, but he was the closing speaker on Friday evening and the huge conference hall was packed, with people sitting on the floor (including me) getting as close as they could to their favorite hero. The thundering applause that Ron Paul got on entering and exiting the stage was out of this world and charged everyone with amazing energy that pretty much followed in the the whole night.
ADAM KOKESH & CYNTHIA MCKINNEY
.
The "Truth Bomb Kokesh on the stage with kind and lovely Cynthia McKinney.
Ok, I saved my personal favorite for the end. I came across Adam here on Steemit, just a few weeks ago, and I had no idea that he's gonna be speaking at Anarchapulco. Now I can tell with certainty that he earned a new hardcore fan in me. Together with Ben Swann, he was the most charismatic and talented public speaker with a message that strikes right to the core of any free-thinking human heart. In all honesty the more I look into his work the more I want to call him a HERO!
@adamkokesh thanks for doing so much work and taking so many risks and getting arrested over and over again for the cause of Freedom!
For those who don't know, Adam is a candidate for 2020 USA presidential elections. Although after listening to his speech I'd better say his platform is. He has no interest in empowering himself, he even said outright that he would take the mandate for 30 minutes only, to dissolve the government and relinquish his power to people. His whole work is around ending the crimes of the current corrupt government, and being an ex-US army soldier, his particular focus is on ending the crimes of US foreign policies first.
He brought his amazing guest Cynthia McKinney, ex-member of White House (and major pain in the ass of the criminal establishement for many years, before she moved to Bangladesh and disappeared from public life) on the stage and they took question from the public for the rest of their speech time. That moment when she was asked if she feels more free after moving out of USA and she smiled and said yes, I feel loved and appreciated, I know what freedom is now. It made quite a few people cry, so emotional! I have recorded that moment on my phone, so lucky! :)
I recorded parts of his speech and it was the single most empowering and electrifying speech I heard at Anarchapulco. I wish you all the best and please win that frikin elections! I will do my best to support you:)
At the end of his speech he asked how many people in the audience are on Steemit and told them to join and reach out cause he wants to help every single newbie on Steemit who reaches out to him. That's a massive shoutout to Steemit and it got a huge applause.
FOLLOW @adamkokesh !!
Overall I must say I am super happy I made it to Anarchapulco although I could not stay longer than 4 days, it was so so so so worth it! Next year me and @gladysmak are going for the full length.

very nice insights. good that it got controversial between lauren and larken. Are you really in favor of Islam? I think it is a very anti liberty ideology, dont you think? (How many muslims attended anarchapulco anyway?)
I would love to see a conversation between larken and stefan molyneux as they both have the similar life experience and intellectual heavy weight.
keep it up! Stay free!
