  • On Day 12 of the "End of Slavery Summit," Brigitte Kayser-Sherman, a former Manhattan professional turned farmer, argued that systemic exploitation can only be escaped by abandoning materialism entirely, citing her disillusionment after witnessing corporate corruption and 9/11's hidden truths.
  • She asserted that money was designed to control people, with poverty and wealth inequality being intentionally engineered over 5,000 years, not accidental flaws but systemic features.
  • Kayser-Sherman now lives moneyless, bartering labor for survival on Florida farms. She advocated hyper-local, debt-free trade and rejects global commerce as inherently corrupt.
  • Her philosophy blended spirituality and anti-capitalism, emphasizing balance (inspired by ayahuasca ceremonies) and rejecting consumerism.
  • Dismissing government-led change, she urged individual action: reducing consumption, building community and fostering local economies. Independent media, she argued, should focus on solutions like unschooling and awakening rather than division.
On Day 12 of the "End of Slavery Summit," aired on August 6, a former Manhattan professional turned farmer and self-described "anti-hero" Brigitte Kayser-Sherman warned that the only escape from systemic exploitation is to reject materialism entirely. When Kayser-Sherman witnessed the truth behind 9/11 and worked alongside a filmmaker exposing corporate corruption, she didn't just leave her job, she abandoned society altogether. Kayser-Sherman traced her transformation from a Manhattan professional to a money-free radical. Her story begins with disillusionment. Born in Africa and raised across Europe, Kayser-Sherman was no stranger to upheaval. But her life took a sharp turn after moving to New York and experiencing 9/11 firsthand. "I thought I had it all," she recalled. "Then I started working for Danny Scheer, investigating financial crimes. Between 9/11's truth and what I learned about corporations, I said, no, I can't be part of this masquerade anymore." The revelation was visceral. "I needed to go farming. I needed another life." Kayser-Sherman's research into monetary history led her to a chilling conclusion: "Money was created to control people. The system isn’t broken; it’s designed this way." She cites 5,000 years of entrenched exploitation, where "humanitarianism fails because poverty and wealth inequality are engineered." Her solution is to abolish money, or at least the fear driving it. "We chase money because we're terrified of being left behind," she explained. "But if people understood how money enslaves them, they'd let it go." Today, Kayser-Sherman lives on farms in Florida, bartering labor for sustenance. "Farming isn't just survival, it's defiance," she said. "You reject the lie that wealth equals happiness." She advocated for hyper-local trade, where trust replaces coercion: "Small communities using debt-free currencies? That's fair. Global trade? Corruption." Her lifestyle is a direct challenge to consumerism. "I buy 90 percent of what I own secondhand. Why feed a system that thrives on exploitation?" Ayahuasca ceremonies deepened her resolve. "I realized natural laws demand balance. We can't take more than we give." She paraphrased Terence McKenna: "To save the world, we must learn to live with less." For Kayser-Sherman, spirituality and anti-capitalism intertwine. "Money isn't evil, but worshipping it is. The moment we tie our worth to possessions, we're trapped." "Cut consumption. Connect with your community. Real value isn't in accumulation, it's in creativity and relationships." Kayser-Sherman advised. She also dismissed mainstream reform: "Governments won't save us. After 5,000 years, why trust them?" Independent media, she argued, must go deeper than outrage. "Infowars just divides. We need solutions: unschooling, local economies, awakening."

More from Day 12 of the "End of Slavery Summit"

Day 12 of the "End of Slavery Summit" doesn't end there. Here's a summary of the topics tackled by other speakers: Henna Maria discussed:
  • Why unconscious spiritual contracts, rooted in dishonesty, inauthenticity and societal conditioning, keep people enslaved. She linked these to collective suffering and activism’s limitations without inner alignment.
  • How is spirituality not about rituals but an awareness of an unseen dimension governing reality. Truth and natural law are prerequisites for freedom and without this understanding, people remain trapped in victimhood.
  • How personal integrity, speaking truth, setting boundaries and honoring one’s soul, creates external freedom. Dishonesty in communication or self-deception perpetuates oppression, while authenticity invites liberation.
  • Why fostering trust through small, local circles is vital. Maria shared her work with PoliceForFreedom.org and DawnOfPeace.org to unite polarized groups.
  • Her transformative experiences with ancestral healing (e.g., Ayahuasca) that revealed mental imprisonment by societal "black magic" (media, brands). 
Aaron Nebbia discussed:
  • How psychedelics (e.g., LSD, psilocybin, DMT) dissolve rigid belief systems, expand awareness and help individuals question societal conditioning. He linked their effects to breaking free from mental slavery and seeing through systemic deception.
  • How psychedelics have ancient roots in shamanic traditions and entheogenic practices, suggesting they were suppressed because they threaten control systems by fostering spiritual autonomy and critical thinking.
  • A 2016 brain-imaging study showing LSD increases connectivity across brain regions, likening its effects to deep meditation. This integration, he argued, aids in overcoming depression, addiction and dogma.
  • Why psychedelics require proper "set and setting" (mindset and environment). Misuse (e.g., treating them as party drugs) can lead to traumatic experiences, but used intentionally, they promote healing and self-discovery.
