PorcFest 2021: It’s Going to be Legendary!

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

The more things change the more they stay the same!?! PorcFest is happening next week in the beautiful White Mountains of the Free State of New Hampshire.

We’re SOLD OUT, and expecting more than 2,500 people, of which 2/3 are from out of state. That’s a LOT of potential movers, people seeking a better life, which is what living in liberty in NH offers!

As the rest of the world moves towards more top-down control and totalitarianism, I encourage all peaceful liberty lovers who believe in private property and self-ownership to join us!

I am doing several talks at PorcFest, including “Make America States Again”; my future vision; police accountability; and the how and why of the Free State Project. I am looking forward to talks by speakers like Naomi Wolf, Tom Woods, Jeffrey Tucker, Gene Epstein, Stephen Kinsella, Scott Horton, and more!

On Saturday at 6PM, we are again hosting SOAPBOX IDOL, which is YOUR opportunity to do a 3-minute rant about whatever you are most passionate about. Don’t miss the auditions 11A most days in the Upper Picnic Tent.

If you haven’t looked at the schedule yet, it’s bananas! On top of the main field, there are HUNDREDS of programs, from knitting to newbie shoots, being offered by individuals. Be sure to walk around the campground and enjoy each others’ company. We are all here to learn and share!

A reminder, PorcFest is about personal responsibility, i.e. how YOU are behaving and showing up in the world. We want YOU to have the time of your life, while also being considerate of others. Attendees run the gamut from singles to great-grandparents, with a lot of families with young ‘uns in-between. Quiet time is 11PM. Tomorrow is another day; pace yourself. 🙂

Take photos, record talks, and use this PUBLIC link to upload pics: https://dropevent.com/PorcFest. Live tweet, and help us create buzz and capture memories. Use #PorcFest and #LiveFreeAndThrive. I can’t wait to meet YOU.

Come say “hi.” Plan to buy my book, The Ecstatic Pessimist for $20 and/or support my Carla Gericke for New Hampshire efforts. Liberty lives in New Hampshire! Come join the fun!

(PS: I’m pretty sure the whip was a prop. The gun and crown are real. 😛)

Come Be Legendary!

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

Have you ever stopped to wonder where the “free stuff” the government “gives you” comes from? Do you know what inflation is? Hint: it’s an invisible tax on YOU. When the prices on everything rise this year because of the $6 TRILLION in new💰 printing, on top of the unsustainable trillions in America’s national debt, not to mention (because no one does anymore) the unfunded pension and social security liabilities that are coming up, please remember the people, LIBERTARIANS, who have warned and warned you. If you are not hedging against a dollar collapse with metals and crypto, START! If you don’t live in NH yet, MOVE. It’s going to get worse before it gets better, and there’s no safer space for visionaries and thought leaders who actually understand the issues and have the solutions than right here, right now. Come be legendary! #LiveFreeAndThrive

Fragrant curried meat pie with apple and dates topped with egg custard? Yes, please! Blog paleo, bobotie, European Print This
Prep Time: Cooking Time:
Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat
Rating: 5.0/5
( 1 voted )

Ingredients

  • 2 packets ground beef (approx. 2 lbs)
  • 1 Tbsp lard or coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp chopped garlic
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp beef bouillon
  • 1 apple, chopped
  • 12 dried dates, chopped
  • 5 eggs, beaten till frothy
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 3-5 bay leaves (for decoration)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Heat lard in cast iron skillet over medium heat. Sautee onions and garlic, add and brown the ground beef breaking into small crumbles. Remove some of the grease, if necessary. Add the apple and dates. Stir. Add the spices and cook until meat is cooked and dish is fragrant. Remove from the heat. Cover in loose tinfoil and place in oven. Cook for 30 minutes at 350F. A few minutes before the dish is ready, mix the cream and 5 eggs, season with salt and pepper, and beat until frothy. Remove meat from oven, pour over the eggs, add the bay leaves, and return to oven. Bake for 7-10 minutes, until the egg custard on top is cooked through. 

I serve this with toasted coconut flakes, Mrs. Balls chutney, and sometimes, if I'm cheating, sliced fresh bananas with mayo/yogurt mix with parsley. Traditionally, bobotie is also served with "borrie rys" which is turmeric infused rice. I find it doesn't need the carbs to be a freedomnomnom bomb!

Freedomnomnom Promo 2: Now with Captions

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

I’m working hard at “just shipping it,” as Seth Godin suggests. So, even when I could tinker to make something better, I don’t, I just “ship it,” because I promised myself I would. This leads to me I producing more stuff, and this FEELS GREAT!

There are some steps between feeling great and shipping it, though. Mostly me yelling at the computer about things I am struggling with, like learning how to use waaaaaaaaay too sophisticated video editing software, or trying to synch video captions, or designing an opening slide, or adding A SUBSCRIPTION BUTTON (finally!).

Video production is a skill that I still need to learn and everything takes waaaaaaaaay longer than it should. Since I value my time, I find this frustrating, but then I remind myself, the state of flow comes from routine and passion combined. Patience, my pretty. And, while I’m s-l-o-w-l-y learning new frustrating things, I am also s-l-o-w-l-y building out an actual video production studio at home, and I’m getting to play around in my keto kitchen, and I’m growing. How cool is that?!?

Other things I learned this week, related to filming and editing a cooking show at home:
1. Don’t multitask! Making two recipes at once, while functional when you have 20 guests coming for dinner is grand, but it makes editing for one recipe a nightmare!
2. Pause between situations if you plan to edit later.
3. Consider going back to one camera and one take?

Do you have a passion project you’re dying to launch? What’s holding you back? How do you spend your time now? If you could change one thing to help yourself kick off this project, what would it be? What if I told you, maybe focussing on your health is where you should start…

I mention health, because good health is the gift of natural stamina, and this is what you need in order to complete the things YOU want to do! I would not have been able to successfully add these personal projects to my plate a couple of years ago. I would not have stuck to the timeline, gotten discouraged, and given up.

Now, I know better. I know, for me:
1. It is crucial to stick to a production schedule. JUST SHIP IT! (Even when it is not perfect!)
2. I had to develop this skill and teach myself that routines for my personal projects matter just as much as my professional obligations (if not more).
3. This means prioritizing myself, and saying “no” to other things because producing my creative projects matters to me, and that’s enough!
4. And, thanks to the lifestyle changes I have made, I have the stamina and energy to push through and make the things I want to make happen, happen.

Learn how I became a healthier me by making slow and steady changes. If I can do it, so can YOU!

Fauci’s Leaked Emails Prove I Was Right All Along

by Carla Gericke
written by Carla Gericke

When the time comes, I hope y’all remember the people like me who were RIGHT about the lab origin of the virus and the inefficacy of masks, whose refusal to wear one was PERFECTLY REASONABLE, who REFUSED TO BE SILENCED even when receiving death threats and being shadow-banned, and who have the SOLUTIONS to the insanity of your government’s overreach. (Psst, it starts with you acknowledging the government and its unchecked lackeys are your abusers, not saviors!)

I’m also heartened that these disclosures came from Freedom of Information requests, which is the federal equivalent of RSA 91-A, New Hampshire’s Right-to-Know laws. It is through forcing the government to reveal their secrets to us that we will prevail. You cannot hold a secret government operating without checks and balances accountable if you don’t know what they are up to… BUT I know this, they’re never up to anything other than lining their own pockets. Expect the expected: corruption, immorality, greed, name calling, oppressive, and abusive behavior. While telling you the exact opposite! Like… gaslighting!

Ask yourself, who benefits from calling you a victim and oppressed?
