Written by In a recent digest email from LewRockwell.com there was a post warning readers about passport scammers. In it, Mark Nestmann (who is also in the business of selling passports) makes vague references to a video exposing one of his unnamed competitors engaging in fraud. He makes references to a “Mexican ‘Program'” and says the fraudster is a Canadian citizen. No link to the video was provided, but I had suspected from the information provided this had something to do with Jeff Berwick, host of the Anarchast podcast, creator of “The Dollar Vigilante” blog, and organizer of an anarchist conference in Acapulco, Mexico called “Anarchapulco”. I just watched the video, and it is indeed, Jeff Berwick.
Full disclosure, I’ve got an axe to grind. Berwick had booked me as a speaker for the Anarchapulco conference next year. He cancelled me after speaking with Jeff Tucker. He then launched a poll asking who people would rather see at the conference, I won that poll with a 2:1 ratio over Tucker, and the second place answer was to have both of us at the conference. Berwick then announced that I wasn’t the “type of person” they wanted at the conference and canceled me anyway. In other words, he used my name to promote his event without any intention of actually having me there.
Axe or no axe, the video is pretty damning.
