On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, you’ll catch two more stellar articles from VONULIFE (this time, #8). One by Rayo on selecting a site for a vonu home, the other by Dr. Gatherer/Dr. Hygeia on ways she simplifies her life to make time for things she wants to do…
Tag: Wilderness vonu
On this fine Sunday morning, I find myself digitizing more classic vonu publications for free digital release, as well as a special collector’s edition paperback version. More specifically, VonuLife issues #1-10. While situations in the servile society differ quite substantially and the technocratic coercion ramped up a thousand fold, if…
Editor’s Note: Recently, I acquired a batch of about 25 vonu publications from Wally Conger, a gentleman I interviewed last year. These include a few years of INNOVATOR, a publication Rayo edited and contributed to, VONULIFE, March 1973 (already available here), and a few that Jim Stumm published. I have…
“The opportunistic serf is probably also more contented than the “non-conformist” who tried to be free in some things while remained servile in overall living pattern. One who is half- free and half-serf dwells in a psychological no-man’s land. He knows too much and thinks to independently to play servile…
It is obvious that anyone going through a traumatic event experiences some kind of mental instability. Most events we will never forget, horrific or otherwise. But, what could be more traumatic than finding out that you are not as free as you are being told? Rayo’s words describe me almost…
For many reading this, you have probably already discovered, if by sheer luck or research, that you are not free. You are living in a slave state and depending on which geographical area you live in, it could be more or less tyranny; but tyranny all the same. Take for example,…
Below, you will find the shortest, and I believe to be, final publication from the batch we’ve been busy getting digitized–this one is called Dwelling Portably [sic], published by Bert and Holly Davis. To provide some background information, Bert and Holly pursued an interesting, and quite radical vonu lifestyle–for many…
On this special episode of The Vonu Podcast, Jason Boothe and I do our first question & answer episode! Questions include: How did you each individually learn of vonu? Would it be possible to covertly produce mushrooms and other such forms of secret agriculture? How do you think Rayo would…
It’s finally here–VONULIFE, March 1973! This lengthy, highly informative publication is over 75,000 words (TWICE the length of Vonu: The Search for Personal Freedom), and contains ~35 articles, about 15 or so of them BRAND NEW to us from Rayo. It even includes a foreword by yours truly (Shane) and…
On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, Shane is joined once again by Jason Boothe to examine more suggestions from previous freedom-seekers, taken from the recently published libertarian publication, Ocean Freedom Notes. Ocean Freedom Notes, 1984-1990 Specifically, the proposal of free communities on icebergs and in Antarctica, as well as…
After Rayo disappeared, the discussion of vonu in various libertarian publications didn’t stop. In this episode, Jason and I cover three letters contained in Vonu, Book 2. Namely: New to vonu? START HERE! A Letter from Roger Kenmore Regarding Vonu (Sept. 85) Comments for Roger Kenmore from Jim Stumm Comments…
Vonu Week was an interesting hands-on course offered by Rayo and Roberta. We’ve discussed it in previous episodes of TVP, and even covered Benjamin Best’s personal experiences there. Well, in Vonu, Book 2, we obtained a bunch of new material: letters/articles from Rayo advertising the training, an in-depth overview of…
