Right now the campaigning for the Houston mayoral election is underway, with elections happening in November of this year. Time is up on the current mayor Sylvester Turner, a two-time elected Democrat not able to seek reelection again due to term limits. If you were wondering about who was running for the new available spot, you would be hard pressed to find all of the candidates with a simple Google search. Many news outlets don’t even offer information on all of the candidates on the ballet, only the ones they feel like reporting about. With this subjective reporting, how are citizens to know all of their options? Shouldn’t there be some sort of informed consent for all of our available options out there? I mean, this isn’t the pharmaceutical industry, surely not every system of power in place is intentionally withholding valuable information from the population to manipulate and coerce our decision making as a whole and keep us as oppressed, mind controlled sheeple who in Huxleyan fashion eagerly and intoxicatedly consent to our own spiritually vibration lowering subjugation? LOL 😅😅😅 Yeah, right. So, as a native Texan myself, here I am tell you about one of these obscured candidates. I don’t know who any of the other candidates are, I haven’t researched them. However, there is one candidate I know quite a bit about as I have been following him for years online, and a bit in person. Let me tell you about Derrick Broze. On the website for his campaign at DerrickBroze.com, it says: Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist, author, documentary filmmaker, entrepreneur, public speaker, and activist based in Houston, Texas. Since 2010, Derrick has worked to empower Houstonians by exposing corruption and focusing on solutions. Derrick’s work focuses on reducing governmental and corporate influence on our lives, and creating local independence. Broze, a 38 year old Houston native who lives part of the year in Mexico, has been a human rights activist for 15 years. This term “human rights” is not talking about the kind of things the mainstream media claims are human rights like “saving the planet” climate change policies, “for the greater good” government mandates, or violent and divisive top-down social movements pretending to be bottom-up civil rights campaigns. Broze defends actual human rights, the ones that come from God, Natural Law, The Divine Mother, The Spirit of the Universe, Karma, or whatever you want to call the inherent systems in place that dictate the consequences and rewards of every single human action regardless of government. He teaches us that the interconnected and corrupted web of government, corporate media, pharmaceutical industry, Big Tech, large scale food production, and more are in place to actively oppress us, and that through their taxation, withholding of knowledge, and violations to our rights in countless ways this way of living is by definition literal slavery. His incredibly in-depth documentary series on these systems, The Pyramid of Power, is an essential piece of content for those of us wanting to understand the world we live in. His book, How To Opt Out of the Technocratic State, is a phenomenal read I cannot recommend enough, listen to it for free on Spotify. This perspective makes Broze an Anarchist, as anarchism is, by definition, a philosophy that rejects the idea of a ruling class. No masters, no slaves. The etymology of the word is simple in that “a” means without, and “archon” means rulers. Patriarchy = father ruled, matriarchy = mother ruled, anarchy = without rulers. Of course, the word anarchy has been heavily coopted by the state, and many of us, myself included, hear the word anarchy and immediately think of masked bandits running the streets. That would be a perverse interpretation of the word. If the first associated image that comes to mind when we hear a word is blatantly incorrect and also in favor of the systems of o
