The song was inspired by the book: "Government" - The Biggest Scam in History... Exposed! - How Inter-Generational Organized Crime Runs the "Government," Media and Academia by Etienne de la Boetie2, founder of the Art of Liberty Foundation. Book at https://www.Government-Scam.com Song/Video Backstory: Brendan and Etienne met by chance at the Free State Project’s Porcupine Freedom Festival in New Hampshire in 2023. Mike Merenda, co-host of the Terrain Theory Podcast (and Guitar/Banjo/Vox for the folk group The Mammals), had come to interview Etienne for his podcast, met Brendan, recognized the talent and helped him record his first solo album, Live From Porcfest, right there in the field.
