Ernie is the founder and publisher of Freedom's Phoenix and host of the Declare Your Independence with Ernest Hancock radio show. As a long-time supporter of Anarchapulco (he was the MC of the 2023 Anarchapulco RESIST event) Ernie believes strongly in the power of community and that one of the key motivations for anyone to go to Anarchapulco is the realization that YOU ARE NOT ALONE and the opportunity to build your community! 

I have said before that liberation at its most basic level is about, 

Seeing clearly what's going on, 
Cutting loose from government crap, 
Doing the work to ground yourself, so you fear nothing but fear itself, 
Putting your escape plan in place, and
Building a community that you can rely on when it all goes to hell.   
And, I often say you should "do the work" so you're not afraid of anything. If you can see the bigger picture, find your true inner, unlimited resource, and operate from there, you've already won. But, the only way you can live completely without fear is if you are completely self-reliant and 100% prepared to put your plans into action when the first zombie froths at the mouth or the first "anti-vaxxer" is loaded on the boxcar to the lethal weapon concentration camps. 

So, in today's interview, we take it one step further in discussing practical ideas like putting your infrastructure and your community in place. And, one of the best places to start with that is by going to Anarchapulco! 

You are not alone. As more and more of us move toward wakefulness, the easier it becomes for others to do the same. The universe wants us to wake up and will guide us toward wakefulness if we create the right conditions – until eventually, wakefulness becomes normal for the whole of the human race.
