Anarchapulco: The Greatest Gathering of People on the Planet

It has been about a week since I came back from Mexico, after attending a very special event and it is impossible to deny the already nostalgic feeling of leaving all that behind.

The event I attended is called Anarchapulco, an anarchy focused conference created by Jeff Berwick (host of The Dollar Vigilante and Anarchast) that happens every year in Acapulco. This year's event was certainly a very special one, because, one might argue, it represented the explosion of the anarchic consciousness, since it was almost three times the size of the previous year, with about 1600 people present.

<pre><code>For those who don't know, anarchy does not mean chaos or lack of rules, it simply means to have no masters, which in practical terms is the role played by governments, banks and other such entities. <p dir="auto">Going back to the event, I simply can't put into words the satisfaction of being surrounded by freedom lovers and like minded people from all over the world. I met people from Japan, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Canada, USA and Venezuela (just to name a few). And most of the individuals I met understand the problems that we face today in a world controlled by governments, which in turn are controlled by banks, in a perpetual state of debt slavery.<br /> I have to confess that it is hard to go back home and live among brainwashed and/or clueless people.<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmbrK2kAAwKj6QbeceaPxYKFp5LkNFMFWuytSMrnxtm8fS/IMG_8667%5B1%5D.JPG" alt="IMG_8667[1].JPG" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmbrK2kAAwKj6QbeceaPxYKFp5LkNFMFWuytSMrnxtm8fS/IMG_8667%5B1%5D.JPG 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmbrK2kAAwKj6QbeceaPxYKFp5LkNFMFWuytSMrnxtm8fS/IMG_8667%5B1%5D.JPG 2x" /><br /> What gives me a reason to wake up every morning is to know that there are a lot of good people trying to make a difference in the world and that it is possible to be a part in some of their projects.<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcodMdo9zb7bg3PimD7cHxu8FCd5rcikN37LAcZHpqE72/IMG_8662%5B1%5D.JPG" alt="IMG_8662[1].JPG" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcodMdo9zb7bg3PimD7cHxu8FCd5rcikN37LAcZHpqE72/IMG_8662%5B1%5D.JPG 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcodMdo9zb7bg3PimD7cHxu8FCd5rcikN37LAcZHpqE72/IMG_8662%5B1%5D.JPG 2x" /><br /> Starting with the scenery, Acapulco is certainly a place blessed with beauty and a paradise-like atmosphere. How can a person feel bad waking up to this view? <p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmaFhtqNG94PM34NGjkehdhwgJnNoBjBS1s5v2kE42Hh1e/LZCD6497%5B1%5D.JPG" alt="LZCD6497[1].JPG" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmaFhtqNG94PM34NGjkehdhwgJnNoBjBS1s5v2kE42Hh1e/LZCD6497%5B1%5D.JPG 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmaFhtqNG94PM34NGjkehdhwgJnNoBjBS1s5v2kE42Hh1e/LZCD6497%5B1%5D.JPG 2x" /> <p dir="auto"><br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcTwJS6UBcGiVxZC7MpUG4khf12asbmPxuq6YkrgMuigw/IMG_1280%5B1%5D.JPG" alt="IMG_1280[1].JPG" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcTwJS6UBcGiVxZC7MpUG4khf12asbmPxuq6YkrgMuigw/IMG_1280%5B1%5D.JPG 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcTwJS6UBcGiVxZC7MpUG4khf12asbmPxuq6YkrgMuigw/IMG_1280%5B1%5D.JPG 2x" /><span>The place where the conference was held is a fantastic resort by the beach (<a href="http://www.princessmundoimperial.com/default-en.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">http://www.princessmundoimperial.com/default-en.html) with several pools, restaurants and even animals (such as flamingos). Not to mention the very cordial staff, always willing to help. <p dir="auto">Forget about all the bad news you hear on TV about Acapulco!<br /> The place is awesome and so are the people!<br /> I felt safe the entire time, even when I went downtown to know the nightlife.<br /> (Not sure if that can be said for some of the gringos who came along, because they were very paranoid people)<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmQqvBuR81zpNm97r3H2SDKCVkuw7qa2mgTHpKJk8DapSw/IMG_1277%5B1%5D.JPG" alt="IMG_1277[1].JPG" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmQqvBuR81zpNm97r3H2SDKCVkuw7qa2mgTHpKJk8DapSw/IMG_1277%5B1%5D.JPG 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmQqvBuR81zpNm97r3H2SDKCVkuw7qa2mgTHpKJk8DapSw/IMG_1277%5B1%5D.JPG 2x" /><br /> The event started with a Health and Wellness Retreat with lectures and practices such as Yoga, Meditation, Tantra, Ayhuasca and much more. To be honest, my Wellness Retreat was mojitos on the beach... But I did show up a few times to see what was going on.<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmb2MossfijaXABdbgjZcy4ysX7LZTG4BHSAp11Yiefa1j/IMG_8671.JPG" alt="IMG_8671.JPG" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmb2MossfijaXABdbgjZcy4ysX7LZTG4BHSAp11Yiefa1j/IMG_8671.JPG 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmb2MossfijaXABdbgjZcy4ysX7LZTG4BHSAp11Yiefa1j/IMG_8671.JPG 2x" /><br /> After the initial relaxation period, the main event commenced and it was one good experience after another.<br /> Being able to hear such great speakers as G. Edward Griffin, Ron Paul, Mike Maloney, Jeffrey Tucker, Ernie Hancock, Larken Rose, Mark Passio, Luke Rudkowski (just to name a few) was truly fulfilling.<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ3p9aot1qm2KNpQdhMFaZWcuyxMWGsi3uHQVnAHit8Cp/MIKE1127%5B1%5D.JPG" alt="MIKE1127[1].JPG" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ3p9aot1qm2KNpQdhMFaZWcuyxMWGsi3uHQVnAHit8Cp/MIKE1127%5B1%5D.JPG 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ3p9aot1qm2KNpQdhMFaZWcuyxMWGsi3uHQVnAHit8Cp/MIKE1127%5B1%5D.JPG 2x" /><br /> On the meantime, people outside the main conference hall were rapping, chatting and getting to know each other, exchanging life experiences, contacts and hope of a better future of freedom.<br /> While just beside the main stage an artist was painting on the spot paintings which later were auctioned. One of these paintings is shown in the first image of this post.<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmbcsrgwg1A9JUCo8nxdFtBM7p4EoVf14yRS26rYbGMYHK/IMG_8749.JPG" alt="IMG_8749.JPG" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmbcsrgwg1A9JUCo8nxdFtBM7p4EoVf14yRS26rYbGMYHK/IMG_8749.JPG 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmbcsrgwg1A9JUCo8nxdFtBM7p4EoVf14yRS26rYbGMYHK/IMG_8749.JPG 2x" /><br /> I was really pleased to be able to meet and listen to amazing speakers such as G. Edward Griffin, who has been informing the world about the collectivist take over for several years, or Jeffrey Tucker, who was able to compile 500 years of history in just 1 hour, or Roger Ver, whose passion is so profound that he could not hold the tears on the stage, or Mark Passio, whose knowledge of the occult and it's usage is more profound than most Freemason masters.<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmUGHFVjy4rKyw4AMUi7BQhJqDbStspkNNpXWUssUNrVqA/IMG_8747.JPG" alt="IMG_8747.JPG" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmUGHFVjy4rKyw4AMUi7BQhJqDbStspkNNpXWUssUNrVqA/IMG_8747.JPG 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmUGHFVjy4rKyw4AMUi7BQhJqDbStspkNNpXWUssUNrVqA/IMG_8747.JPG 2x" /><br /> Being able to meet, talk, drink a beer and smoke pot with some very cool crypto millionaires just like regular people is not something normal people can do every day... And it is lots of fun!<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmU4JSKTaGD3ELSTAqwoXYQ89ESHxye2QsUASQnsFk8qL4/IMG_1278%5B1%5D.JPG" alt="IMG_1278[1].JPG" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmU4JSKTaGD3ELSTAqwoXYQ89ESHxye2QsUASQnsFk8qL4/IMG_1278%5B1%5D.JPG 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmU4JSKTaGD3ELSTAqwoXYQ89ESHxye2QsUASQnsFk8qL4/IMG_1278%5B1%5D.JPG 2x" /><br /> Never before I have had these amazing experiences, with such amazing people and I definitely cannot wait for next year!<br /> The event was so amazingly fantastic that the ground shook! Even mother nature recognized that that place was full of movers and shakers!<br /> <img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmTW5DLZeD3CVX8C6xzSQNkYUnFCUs19waSgCSoAQKvGTJ/photo_2018-03-02_15-01-06.jpg" alt="photo_2018-03-02_15-01-06.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmTW5DLZeD3CVX8C6xzSQNkYUnFCUs19waSgCSoAQKvGTJ/photo_2018-03-02_15-01-06.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmTW5DLZeD3CVX8C6xzSQNkYUnFCUs19waSgCSoAQKvGTJ/photo_2018-03-02_15-01-06.jpg 2x" /> <p dir="auto">I want to thank each and everyone of the organizers, because they did a very good job putting all this together and trying to please everybody!
