Livin' The Steem: How 2 Anarchists Defected From the USSA to Mexico On Only $50, A Hope & A Steem

in #steemit7 years ago

I had the opportunity to interview one of the most popular writers on Steemit this week, @lily-da-vine.

As you'll see, @lily-da-vine is actually both John and Lily.

But, far more interesting than the fortunes they have been making on Steemit is their story.

They fled the US because the government wanted to kidnap them and put them in a cage for 25 years for trying to help sick people by supplying cannabis which cured their issues.

They had only $50 in their pocket and no passports but managed to make it all the way down to Anarchapulco and since have started numerous new businesses and are currently making a fortune writing on Steemit!

The story is incredible and amazing and gives a lot of hope for many out there who don't have much money but want to live a freer, better life.

You can see it here:

If you aren't already you can follow Lily and John at @lily-da-vine . And, of course, you can follow me @jeffberwick for more interesting stories like these always posted first to Steemit!

I love turtles.

Once the turtle is willing to assimulate. If not then should be expelled.

The turtle may be slow moving but DETERMINED/PERSISTENT!!

Fascinating.

live a freer, better life..

One definite take away from this is that government can and does take way too many liberties away from individuals.

The so-called "war on drugs" is a clear example of this - and is almost single-handedly responsible for the ballooning of the US prison population to some 2.15 million people - by far the highest value in the World.

And the truth is that the very roots of the "war on drugs" are mired in fraudulent deceit. I demonstrate such adequately here.

It is a shame that due to such, these two individuals have to live beyond the borders of the nation that they settled in. May they never fall into the clutches of the enforcers of the true villains in office.
