Liberty Forum 2023 has come and gone! What an amazing weekend.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to every attendee, speakers, sponsor, and all our VOLUNTEERS.
The Free State Project runs on Porc Power, and dozens of amazing people gave countless hours to make this year’s event a smashing success!
Special thanks to Mickey Mullin and Viviana for spearheading!
Thanks to our awesome emcee Bill Barger, and the video team headed by Beau with Sarah Grealy, White Marriott, Joa assisting, Chris Lopez for the offsite dinners, Miranda Nyx Animus for managing the main room, and EVERYONE on the registration and help desk, and more!
I had an amazing time and my hope & optimism for a better future remains strong… and that’s thanks to all of YOU!!!
For the first time in the Free State, our very own Authors’ Extravaganza!
A booth with three tables filled with the works of Free Staters: from children’s, YA, poetry, essays, anthologies, nonfiction on law and life, and more!
A session where 11 authors discussed their work and marketing strategies.
Thanks to everyone who participated and a special thanks to Jody Underwood who conceived of and put the whole shebang together.
Thanks to all the attendees who bought books. Remember to leave a review to help our sales!
I hope we put this event on repeat as we encourage more Free Staters to start publishing their works!
We’re on fire! Turns out, much of what we have been saying all along, was… accurate! The Dpt of Energy and the FBI now admit a lab leak from Wuhan is likely. We also cover the “choo-choo boondoggle” and Manchester’s school budget, which just keeps going up and up while student enrollment declines. Make it make sense!

The 8th Episode of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Hampshire is out. WATCH NOW!
From NBC: “One of the early experiments of the Free State project was the Free Town Project, a libertarian migration to the small community of Grafton, NH. And with the libertarians….allegedly came the bears? Or did they? This episode explores the controversies a small town navigated as they became the focus of this libertarian political trial run.”
On Wednesday evening, I met Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for president of America.
After I failed to snap a pic with Trump in early 2016 when he was doing a CNN Q&A with Anderson Cooper at then-Theos on Elm, I have resolved to not be an idiot when the opportunity presents itself. “You never know,” as Ma likes to say.
The event was held at Free Stater-owned Murphy’s Taproom and LBRY CEO & FSP board member Jeremy Kauffman gave opening remarks.
I don’t know if Vivek is on the up-and-up.
He’s certainly got on-stage charism. A good story: First gen Indian-American makes good in bio-pharma; claims to be anti-woke and anti-China (although he did do business there). He had some bad things to say, like suggesting we make war with Mexican cartels–what could possibly go wrong?–and he didn’t answer the question about independence asked by “Mayor of Manchester.”
The internet is already a twitter that he is a WEF shill. Ian Freeman has a negative impression. I’m willing to continue to listen but this is such a long shot, the best we can hope is he stays on message about not supporting globalism, wanting to reform the federal government, being anti-CBDC. We’ll see…
Have you dropped some balls recently? Carla feels your pain, and shares a few tips from her personal life to help you get back on track. Also in this episode, a brief overview of the new NBC docuseries about the Free State movement, banned documentaries, and some upcoming events.
Here’s the NBC Boston series: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of New Hampshire. WATCH NOW!
Listen to the audio-only podcast here:
The first 7 episodes of NBC Boston’s docuseries on the Free State movement is out! Check out these short, 13 minute episodes, and then feel free to drop me questions below!
A few things you should be wondering about while watching:
Who funds Granite State Progress? (Soros/and…?)
When did Zandra Rice Hawkins moved to New Hampshire to spread socialist programs? (After me)
Why won’t ZRH allow Free Staters to attend their “public” events?
How come NH public schools cost double ($18,000+) what private schools do ($9,000)?
What is more democratic than putting hard questions to voters?
Isn’t it GREAT that Free Staters are inspiring so many people to get involved as is required for good local government?
Happy birthday to me! I just had a splendid weekend exploring new-to-me parts of New Hampshire with a trip up to the Mount Washington area for the cog ride on Sunday. Special thanks to Louis for spoiling me!
In February, I fasted from Tuesday, February 14 to Saturday, February 18th, my birthday. We decided to break with an early dinner at Christmas Farm Inn in Jackson, NH, which was delicious.
I want to capture my fasting experience for each month of this year… perhaps for a book sometime in the future?
This fast went by fast. Mood was good the whole time. Did get a headache on Day 3 but not as intense as the ones in 2022. On Day 3 and 4 at night, had a ball jar of homemade broth each. My journal note for Day 3 says: “Broth (yay!), nutritious and delicious, Past Carla making Future Carla happy in the Now.” 🙂
My main observation this month is I write more when I am fasting, and this feels like an underscoring of finally finding the right flow for me–the right way for me to be spending my time.
For most of my life, I resisted the urge to do “artistic” things, because it was somehow instilled in me that this was “wrong,” “an indulgence” “not serious.” Which is an extremely odd position to hold when considering Ma was an artist.
Lawyers don’t draw
I’ve been trying to figure out where this hang-up originated from and am still mulling it over… especially as I now know many self-defeating beliefs we carry, we simply created ourselves… something happened and you filed it away in a way that created a negative voice you may not even be aware of… unpacking these voices and putting them in their rightful place is what makes us healthier in the long run. [Read about how I learned to ignore the really nasty ones HERE.]
I suspect my suppression of my artsy side was because of the dysfunctional competitiveness that developed between my sister and I when we went to boarding school in the early Eighties, and we both felt we had to start aggressively vying for our parent’s attention. Based on conversations with my sister, she concurs. Add to this a subtext my parents presented to us that Lizette would be the “artsy, smart one” and I’d be the “smart, not artsy one,” and some of my resistance to my true calling–writing–make somewhat sense.
Listening to the voices in my head
Back during one of my 5-day fasts in 2022, I came up with the “My Life (in Balance)” series, those Post-Its I’ve been putting out, so I keep looking for new inspiration or moments of clarity while fasting. This time, a voice mentioned that when I panic about “having to make The Carla Gericke Show” (which I do a lot), I could be using content I have already written directly from my site. This falls in the “Past Carla helping Future Carla in the Now” category, and while I really don’t know why this never occurred to me before, I’m going to implement this life hack, stat!
How about you?
What are you doing to set yourself up for more success in the future? Are you making the right choices with regard to your diet, exercise, sleep, mental health? Remember, building integrity with yourself–in other words, making and keeping promises to yourself–is the road to happiness!
As a “diplomat’s brat,” as a child, I traveled extensively and gotta lotta jabs… Now, as I’m learning more about vaccine “science” or rather, the lack thereof, I’m re-evaluating my personal experiences as they relate to vaccines.
As a healthy and energetic child, I started to dread going to the doctor, leading to fights, and when I complained about getting sick after inoculations at these visits, I was told I was “wrong,” “mistaken,” “imagining things,” when, it now seems, even 9-year-old Carla knew what was cutting.
The doctors say it can’t be that.
“But I’ve never had stomach aches like this before!” Me, howling, curled up under the dining room table clutching my stomach in Mafikeng, 1981, soon after moving with my parents to this “hardship” African post. “Must be the new food.” Except we cooked at home and we were eating the same diet. “Different water?” “Drink some milk!””Different minerals in the water?” This routine–me, crying while being told to “Drink some milk!”–repeated night after night for months and months.
Staring up at the wood rings on the bottom of the table, knowing deep-down inside–that voice inside you “science” tries to kill–that the doctors’ visits where we got shots that left my sister sneezing fifty, sixty times a day, was the cause, while also being told: “The doctors say it can’t be that.”
The doctors say it can’t be that.
Top-shelf gas-lighting, pure as the white lab coats it is delivered in: Munchausen-by-Proxy meets Stickholm (sic) Syndrome. Basically: Someone in Authority purposely hurting others in order to feel like a “hero” when they “heal you,” combined with patients living in denial about the harm being done to them, or being told, like I was, that they’re “imagining things,” until, in fact, they dutifully submit to more and more harm while praising their “captors” for their services. All hail, “Science”!
The doctors say it can’t be that.
Vaccine public policy is harming humans. This is sick and this sickness is the reality of the landscape of “preventative healthcare” in Western medicine. We are being held hostage to bad medicine and bad actors, and the stakes are so high, they’d rather make you–millions upon millions of you–believe your child’s autism is genetic than tell you the truth.
There are no “genetic epidemics.” But there is blame shifting. And they are pros.
The truth is, Big Pharma is colluding with Big Gov’s regulatory agencies supposedly tasked with overseeing “public health.” Together, they have orchestrated a cover story to mislead doctors, who are in turn misleading parents and kids about real-life harm, while no scientific data exists to show the benefits of any vaccine outweighs the potential developmental risks.
I appreciate this sounds borderline cray-cray. But let me state it clearly: In America, no vaccine safety study has ever been conducted comparing vaccinated to unvaccinated children to measure their health outcomes over time. In other words, there are no comparative, control-grouped studies to determine side-by-side who is healthier: vaccinated or unvaccinated children. None. Zilch. Nada.
Back in the Eighties, when I was a kid, they were already fudging the data. Think of “vaccine science” as something akin to “smoking science.” Remember how, for a laughable amount of time, years and years of denials and congressional hearings, everyone was told “cigarette smoking does not cause harm”? Remember that incredible lie? A lie so big, everyone involved had to play along? Hiding harmful truths for profit happened with cigarettes, and it is happening now, again, with vaccines.
Except, it is worse. Arguably, with cigarettes, at least there’s a semblance of consent. You seek out and buy the product yourself, even if you are being fueled by nicotine addiction. With vaccines, however, we are now being forced to take this product, whether we want to or not, whether we consent or not, never-mind whether anyone is actually giving legally-binding informed consent (they are not). Jabs for jobs? Insanity!
We are being forced into this one-size-fits-all model–socialism–like human widgets, to be treated the same. But we are not the same.
Each and every human on this Earth is an individual: unique from your mitochondria on up!
Our bodies are not the same. Our physical development is not the same. What we weigh. Our blood type. How much of what medicine we can tolerate. What previous illnesses we’ve had. Previous medicines we’ve taken. At what doses. How we react to stress. What causes inflammation for us on a cellular level.
Imagine the uproar if someone was advocating babies should take up smoking. And yet, we’re jabbing newborns with Hep B vaccines? Hep B, a disease you can only get through sexual contact or intravenous needle use? Why, for the love of humanity, are we attacking newborns’ immune systems with junk-science like this?
Junk-science that is resulting in real harm, now so prevalent as to be systematic. Instead of demanding your free healthcare, maybe you should be asking what is making you sick? After all, they’re not promising to make you well for all that “free” healthcare, but rather, based on data from countries that already have universal healthcare, they’re drawing sad, short, chronically-sick lines from cradle to premature grave.
American children, let’s call them Generation Rx, are now less healthy than their parents, with shorter life spans.
The doctors say it can’t be that.
Wonder why kids hate going to the doctor? Maybe those of us who weren’t sick but had “stickler parents who kept up on our shots” started to understand we weren’t going someplace to be helped or gain health, but rather were unwillingly participants in an unnecessary ritual sacrifice at the altar of junk-science. That was the Seventies and Eighties, when Sudden Infant Death Syndrome “magically” appeared in countries with high vaccine take-ups.
By the Nineties, we added government incompetence to the mix, through regulatory capture so thorough that when the insurance industry looked at Big Pharma’s submitted data and said, HELL NO, WE WON’T INSURE THIS CRAP, the government stepped up to become the insurer of last resort.
To be clear: Children are being harmed by snake oil salesmen who are protected by government monopoly from any and all liability while the regulating agencies sometimes even hold patents on the vaccines they mandate.
The doctors say it can’t be that.
Scarlet fever. Whooping cough. Chronic bronchitis. Inner ear infections. As a child, these were a few of my least favorite things! When not recovering from doctor office visits, being super-energetic and two years too young for my class as it was, teachers would demand I do every sport offered after school–netball, field hockey, athletics, cheer-leading, tennis, squash, volleyball, badminton, even King Stingers during recess–perhaps hoping to drain some of my seemingly boundless energy.
Today, I would likely have been diagnosed as ADHD and drugged, like so many children are. Instead of sunlight and exercise and the endless opportunities to run down my batteries naturally, today, I would be force-fed pharmaceuticals because Big Pharma always gets its cut.
The more I delve into vaccine “science,” the more questions I have about my own health. I recommend you start taking a closer look at your own medical history too… Asthma is not normal. Allergies are not normal. Obesity is not normal. Diabetes is not normal. Chronic-anything is not normal. Nothing we are seeing now in this world that is richer and more prosperous than anytime in history, is normal.
The doctors say it can’t be that.
It is possible that it won’t just be “that,” that it isn’t solely the CDC’s vaccine schedules’ fault for childhood autism and developmental problems, nor, perhaps, are the mRNAs responsible for the excess deaths in highly vaccinated countries, and that many different factors–diet, environmental toxins, Round-up, fluoride, whatevs–are contributing to society’s slide into dis-ease, but doctors, nurses, health practitioners, we need you. PLEASE.
We need you to be brave and, well, we need you to start saying, Let’s pause and reassess the science properly, and, please, for the love of mankind, I beg you to stop saying, The doctors say it can’t be that.

Take my unscientific poll:
5/Perhaps you got the mandated Covid jabs. Do you think this improved or decreased your overall health?

PS: In just in the last couple of decades, here are some of the Big Pharma fines: Vioxx ($950M; Merck), Zyprexa ($1.4B; Eli Lily); Paxil and Wellbutrin ($3B; GlaxoSmithKline); etc. Without mandated vaccines, most pharmaceutical firms would be bankrupt.
PPS: According to this doctor, in his practice, textbook ADHD does not appear among his unvaccinated patients AT ALL. WATCH this talk, it is very informative, with an actual side-by-side comparative study that shows unvaccinated children are more healthy… now they’re trying to take his medical license (ignore the scary warning).
