“How can you realize the most personal freedom right now? Become internationally mobile. Stop being a ‘captive audience’ for the real life black comedies of a particular gang of clowns-turned-goons and begin making real market choices between states.” -Rayo As has been expressed many times on The Vonu Podcast, mobility…
Recently, I received a physical copy of VONULIFE, March 1973 and have been in the process of digitizing this 80,000+ word publication. The last article is being transcribed as this is written–all that’s left is to add the images, some proofreading, and then it’ll be ready for publication in its…
Recently, I received a physical copy of VONULIFE, March 1973 and have been in the process of digitizing this 80,000+ word publication. As expected, it’s taking some time, but I figured I’d drop you another sneak peek. This is another BRAND NEW article (to “us”) by Rayo and I find…

They recap ethical enclaves, free isles/free ports, local congregations, and intentional communities, order them based off their subjective preferences, and more. Please enjoy and share!
In this miniseries on what Rayo called localized areas of liberty, Shane and Kyle have covered ethical enclaves, free isles/free ports, and intentional communities.

An intentional community can be defined as, “…a group of people who have chosen to live together with a common purpose, working cooperatively to create a lifestyle that reflects their shared core values. The people may live together on a piece of rural land, in a suburban home, or in…
As one solution in becoming more invulnerable to coercion, Rayo proposed the founding of free isles/free ports, or new libertarian nations on floating platforms or uninhabited islands. Last week, you heard what Rayo had to say about them, both the potential advantages and disadvantages–but what about in reality? Well, Preform-Inform…
What are free isles and freeports? What did Rayo have to say about them? What are the obstacles to overcome in setting them up? Advantages? Where do they fall within mean-time to harassment? Those are all questions Shane and Kyle set out to answer in this episode of The Vonu…
As was discussed in part one of this episode, with each new law and regulation, the opportunities to profit from black and grey market trading increase. Rayo put it this way: Big Brother already has 60 million laws and regulations or so. If all laws were consistently enforced, almost every…
With each new law and regulation passed, the opportunities to profit from black and grey market trading increase. The practice of this is more commonly known as agorism, but it didn’t originate from Samuel Edward Konkin III. Rather, it originated from Rayo with what he called ethical enclaves: “An ethical…
