On Peace Activism

Peace Activists often blame the defender.  The Soviets used to call our peace movement Useful Idiots.  Peace Activists often take the side of the aggressor.  Defenders are generally decent people.  Aggressors generally aren't.  The suffering of the conquered apparently means nothing to a Peace Activist.  This is simply wrong.  

The path to real peace often goes over the dead bodies of Peace Activists.

On Censorship

Censorship is practiced by those who have to silence their opponents.  Censorship is practiced by those who know they’re wrong.  Censorship is the negation of the Human mind.  Censorship reduces Human Beings to mere animals.  As rational thought is necessary to living a Human life the censor, and those who demand it, are Enemies of Mankind.

The Tripwire
by
D. van Oort & J.F.A. Davidson
From The Resister

"How we burned in the prison camps later thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive?"-- Alexander Solzhenitzyn, Gulag Archipelago

What would be the tripwire resulting in open rebellion? Examining the Bill of Rights, and considering EXISTING laws only, and not failed attempts, you will find that every clause has been violated to one degree or another.

Documenting those violations would fill volumes, and it is important to remember that only government can violate the exercise of unalienable individual rights and claim immunity from retribution. We omit martial law or public suspension of the Constitution as a tripwire. The overnight installation of dictatorship obviously would qualify as "the tripwire," but is not likely to occur. What has occurred, what is occurring, is the implementation of every aspect of such dictatorship without an overt declaration. The Constitution is being killed by attrition. The Communist Manifesto is being installed by accretion. Any suggestion that martial law is the tripwire leads us to the question: what aspect of martial law justifies the first shot?

For much the same reason, we will leave out mass executions of the Waco variety. For one thing, they are composite abuses of numerous individual rights. Yet, among those abuses, the real tripwire may exist. For another, those events are shrouded in a fog of obfuscation and outright lies. Any rebellion must be based on extremely hard and known facts. Similarly, no rebellion will succeed if its fundamental reasons for occurring are not explicitly identified. Those reasons cannot be explicitly identified if, in place of their identification, we simply point to a composite such as Waco and say, "See, that's why; figure it out." Any suggestion that more Wacos, in and of themselves, would be the tripwire, simply leads us back again to the question: what aspect of them justifies rebellion?

For the same reasons, we leave out a detailed account of Ayn Rand's identification of the four essential characteristics of tyranny. She identified them quite correctly, but together they are just another composite from which we must choose precipitating causes. These characteristics are: one-party rule, executions without trial for political offenses, expropriation or nationalisation of private property, and "above all," censorship.

With regard to the first characteristic of tyranny, what is the real difference between the Fabian socialist Republican Party and the overtly [Bolshevik] socialist Democratic Party? Nothing but time. Regarding the second we have the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team and the ATF's enforcement branch. In action they simply avoid the embarrassment of a trial. Regarding the third, we have asset forfeiture "laws," the IRS, the EPA, the FCC, the FDA, the Federal Reserve, the Justice Department's Antitrust Division, and a myriad of other executive branch agencies, departments, and commissions whose sole function is to regulate business and the economy. Regulating business for the common good (fascism) is no different in principle than outright nationalisation (communism).

However, the fourth characteristic of tyranny, censorship, is the obvious primary tripwire. When ideology and the reporting of facts and how-to instructions are forbidden, there is nothing remaining but to fight. Freedom of speech and persuasion -- the freedom to attempt to rationally convince willing listeners -- is so fundamental an individual right that without it no other rights, not even the existence of rights, can be enforced, claimed, debated, or even queried.

Does this censorship include the regulation of the "public" airwaves by the FCC, as in the censorship which prohibits tobacco companies from advertising -- in their own defense -- on the same medium which is commanded by government decree to carry "public service" propaganda against them? Does it include federal compulsion of broadcasters to air politically-correct twaddle for "The Children"? Does it include the Orwellian "Communications Decency Act"? Does it include any irrationalist "sexual harassment" or tribalist "hate speech" laws which prohibit certain spoken words among co-workers? The answer: unequivocally yes.

Although the above do not pertain to ideological or political speech, yet they are censorship and are designed to intimidate people into the acceptance of de facto censorship. We say that any abrogation of free speech, and any form of censorship, which cannot be rectified by the soap box, the ballot box, or the jury box, must be rectified by the cartridge box -- or lost forever.

Americans have been stumbling over tripwires justifying overt resistance for well over 130 years. On one hand, we submit that gun confiscation is a secondary tripwire only. It is second to censorship because if speech is illegal we cannot even discuss the repeal of gun control, or any other population controls. If only guns are illegal, we may still convince people to repeal those laws. On the other hand, gun confiscation may be a sufficient tripwire because the primary one, censorship, can be fully implemented only after the citizenry has been disarmed.

Resistance, in the context of this article, means those legitimate acts by individuals which compel government to restrict its activities and authority to those powers delegated to the Congress by the people in the Constitution.

The distinction to be drawn here is that the objective of patriotic resistance is to restore original Constitutional government, not change the form of government. To this end we believe: The enforcement of any laws -- local, state, or federal -- that through the action or inaction of the courts makes nugatory the individual means of resisting tyranny, justifies resistance.

The operative terms of the above statement are the parameters that must be defined and understood if resistance to tyranny and despotism is to be honourable, and for the cause of individual liberty, rather than anarchy resulting from a new gang of tyrants. Rebellion can never be justified so long as objective means of redress are available, which are themselves not subverted or rendered impotent by further or parallel subjective legislation.

The goal of patriots throughout the country must be the restoration of objective constitutional law and order. The failure to enforce a subjective law (i.e. the Communications Decency Act) does not justify that law existing, but it also does not justify resistance. This is because non-enforcement leaves avenues of redress, including the forbidden activity itself, still available. Should a lower court uphold or ignore a case that challenges subjective law, peaceable means of redress are still open by higher or lateral courts in another jurisdiction.

However, should the U.S. Supreme Court uphold subjective laws, or refuse to hear the cases challenging them, then the legislative, executive, and judicial branches have all failed to guarantee individual liberty, from the widest principles to the smallest details. A single refusal by the highest court in the land to overturn a whim-based subjective law, or to refuse to hear the case, is sufficient to justify resistance to that law because there is simply nowhere left to turn for further attempts at redress. At such time nobody is morally bound by that law. Tyranny gets one chance per branch.
America is either a constitutional republic or it is not. If we can restore our republic it will ultimately occur through reason, and reason will then lead our representatives to make unconstitutional those laws which, by any objective standard of justice, should have never been considered in the first place. However, we cannot assert our claim to restore our liberty if we but accede to a single socialist construct. Freedom and serfdom cannot coexist. We cannot have it both ways.

Life, and the means to preserve it, cannot coexist with disarmament. Liberty, and its rational exercise, cannot coexist with subjective constraints. Property, and its acquisition, use, and disposal cannot coexist with expropriation. The federal government's first task is to obey the Constitution. It has refused. Our first task as free men is to force the government to obey it again. The Constitution of the United States of America is a constraint on the federal government, not on the individual.
Likewise, the constitutions of the various states are constraints on the state governments, not on the individual. The Constitution contains many provisions allowing the violation of our natural rights as free men by immoral and unethical men in government. The true heroes of the ratification debates were the Anti-federalists, who secured Federalist guarantees that the Bill of Rights would amend the Constitution.

To their undying credit, the Federalists lived up to their promise. Nevertheless, only after constitutional limitations on government have been restored in their original form can we consider amending the Constitution to redress its very few remaining defects (for example, the absence of a separation of state and the economy clause).

Laws that make nugatory the means of resisting tyranny and despotism determine the tripwire. The creeping legislative erosion of the 2nd Amendment is not the only tripwire that justifies resistance. We submit that any gun control is a secondary tripwire. Not only because it can be effortlessly evaded, but also because it strengthens our cause. It is second only to censorship. If speech is illegal we can discuss neither repeal of gun control, or the repeal of any other unconstitutional "law."

Censorship is not a tripwire, it is THE tripwire. Thus, by default, censorship morally justifies rebellion.

Under censorship, no other rights, including the right to be free from censorship, can be advocated, discussed, or queried. It is incorrect to say that after censorship comes utter subjugation. Censorship is utter subjugation. There is no greater usurpation of liberty while remaining alive. After censorship come the death camps, and they are not a prerequisite of censorship, they are merely a symptom of it. Censorship qua censorship is sufficient in itself to justify open rebellion against any government that legislates, enforces, or upholds it.

However, that is not the half of it. Censorship is alone in being the only violation of individual rights that does not require actual enforcement or challenges in court, before rebellion is justified. When the government forbids you to speak or write, or use your own or a supporter's property to address willing listeners or readers, that government has openly and forcibly declared that the art of peaceful persuasion is dead and will not be tolerated. Upon that very instant, all peaceful avenues of redress have been closed and the only possible method of regaining that liberty is force. Whenever we give up that force, we are not only ruined, we deserve to be ruined.

Censorship is already being "legally" imposed through accretion by compromisers, appeasers, and pragmatists within government at all levels. Note the demands by "progressive" organisations and self-appointed "civil rights" groups to ban so-called "hate" speech (they mean thought and debate), or "extreme" language (they mean principled dissent), or "paramilitary" books (they mean the knowledge of how to resist). When our government imposes censorship, it will be because our ability to use force to resist censorship no longer exists. Buying copies of The Resister is not yet prohibited; buying machine guns already is. Unwarranted search for unlicensed books has not yet occurred; unwarranted search for unlicensed weapons has already begun. As your unalienable right of peaceable discussion and dissent is being daily abridged, your right to peaceably assemble and associate in advocacy of your own self-defence, according to your own free will, has already been outlawed (courtesy of ADL's "model" anti-militia legislation).

Unconstitutional federal agencies now arm themselves with weapons that you may not own, and train in tactics that you are prohibited from mastering. Before a government is sure you won't resist, it will make sure you can't resist.

The most irrational, contradictory, short-range, whimsical notion possible to men who claim the unalienable right to resist tyrannical government is the notion that they must first let their ability to resist be stripped from them before they have the right to use it. This is the argument of so-called conservatives who pish-tosh the notion of legislative "slippery-slopes," and sycophantic adherents of a supreme Court that has no constitutionally delegated authority to interpret the Constitution in the first place. We reject the notion of mindless compliance with subjective "laws." Subjective laws must be resisted on metaphysical and epistemological principles, moral and ethical grounds, and on constitutional and historical precedence.

No rational man desires ends without means. No rational man can be faced with his own imminent subjugation and truly believe that, once things are as bad as they can get, "sometime" "someone" will do "something" "somehow" to counteract that trend. Any man who counsels another to appeal to those mystical equivalents of "divine intervention" for "deliverance" from tyranny is our enemy by all principles conceivable within the scope of rational human intelligence.

The time to organise resistance is not after censorship, but before it. The time to prepare resistance is when our ability to resist is being threatened. The time to begin resistance is when that threat has been upheld or ignored by the courts. The unalienable rights that safeguard our ability to resist are limited to those which, if not violated, allow us to plan and use all materials necessary for resistance. We submit that only the following meet that criteria: freedom of speech and of the press, and the right to peaceably assemble--so that we may advocate ideas, report and discuss news, and instruct others how to carry out resistance activities (1st Amendment); the right to keep and bear arms -- so that we may have appropriate force in our hands should we need it, and be trained to use such force as necessary (2nd Amendment); the right to be let alone -- so that we may be free of government intrusion in our lives, liberty, and property (3rd Amendment)); the right to be secure in our persons, dwellings, papers, and property from unwarranted, unaffirmed searches and seizures -- so that our records, ideological materials, and weapons will remain in our hands (4th Amendment).

For the purpose of this discussion, we believe that no other rights are relevant because if every individual right other than those four were violated -- although it would be an unspeakably evil act on the part of the government, justifying immediate and unforgiving resistance -- their abridgement would not effect our ability to resist. If any of the first four amendments are infringed by legislation, enforced by executive power, and their abrogation is upheld or ignored by the courts, unremitting, forcible resistance, and aid and comfort to its citizen-soldiers, is a moral imperative for every single person who believes that life, liberty, and property are unalienable and self-existing, and not grants of government privilege.

"The United States should get rid of its militias." -- Josef Stalin, 1933

"The foundation of a free government begins to be undermined when freedom of speech on political subjects is restrained; it is destroyed when freedom of speech is wholly denied." -- William Rawle, LL.D. Philadelphia, 1825

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes ... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." -- Thomas Jefferson (1764) -- Quoting 18th Century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment

On Movies

While certain liberties can be taken with space operas.  Films set in the real world (including 2001: A Space Odyssey) should be as realistic as possible as permitted by the film's budget.  My own personal BS alarm went off when I saw the trailer for the second Charlie's Angels flick.  It showed a scene where the main rotor on a helicopter gunship began to self-deploy.  A mechanism for moving rotor blades from the storage position to the operational position would add weight to the aircraft.  This is a bad thing in military aircraft.  If the additional weight wasn't an issue a self-deploy system would still be useless in the operational context for one very good reason.  Every helicopter operated by an air force or army aviation unit comes with something called a ground crew. A unit whose job is to open, close, fold, and unfold components along with performing maintenance on the aircraft.  When I see a BS element in an advertisement for a movie I as a rule usually tend to avoid seeing it. 

On Hatred

There hasn't been this much hatred for a Republican President since that shown to President Abraham Lincoln.  Four American Presidents were murdered by inherently irrational men.  Democrats are NOT rational people.  They're irrational people.  In spite of the inherent futility of political assassination there will be several more assassination attempts.  There have been two attempts to assassinate President Trump as a candidate.  Only American Citizens en masse  can determine who the President Of The United States can be.  NO ONE ELSE.  Two attempts to assassinate a presidential candidate show not only irrationality but arrogance.

Philosophy

If there's such a work as Introduction To Kantian Epistemology the complete text could be boiled down to three words: Reality is unreal.  Those of us who treat Reality as being real learned a hard lesson back in the Twentieth Century.  It was believed by many the when Hitler spoke of clearing the Jews from Europe that he was speaking metaphorically.  It was when the Allied armies liberated the death camps that we discovered that Hitler was speaking literally.  To us who aren't under the influence of Kant and in fact value our lives a call for an act of murder has to be taken literally.  There's simply no other morally valid option.

A Fact Of Reality

GEOFFREY WHEATCROFT in the New York Times wrote that a large part of the European left spent a large part of the 20th century hating the United States not because it had economic inequality or Jim Crow but because it didn't have show trials, labor camps and the other appurtenances of "actually existing socialism."  We Americans (the neo-barbarians of the Hard Left excepted) prefer real courts and the other attributes of an actually existing civilization.  Mr. Wheatcroft also dug up an interesting statement by English author Evelyn Waugh: Of course, the Americans are cowards ... They are almost all the descendants of wretches who deserted their legitimate monarchs for fear of military service.

To Hell with you Mister Waugh.  I'm sure General Tojo, Il Duce, and Der Fuherer would be very happy to hear that Americans are cowards.  Those bloody-handed power tripping motherfuckers had their destinies very thoroughly settled by those whom that fatuous English twit calls cowards.  The courage of Americans fighting for a just cause has never failed and anyone whose continued existence is (or was in the case of that fatuous English twit) dependent on the courage of American Citizens should properly acknowledge that fact or shut the Hell up.  AMERICANS ARE CITIZENS not the chattel of some perfumed and over-dressed descendant of some barbarian chieftain (or a commissar or other such sub-human filth) we (and the rest of the human race in general) aren't subjects or slaves who exist solely to expended at the whim of the ruler.  Anyone who can't accept this as an unevadable fact of reality should have their head struck off and stuck on a pike. 

Stuff

Today is the anniversary of George Washington's Raid on Trenton, New Jersey.  In this operation a brigade sized force including horses and cannon was put across the Delaware River.  The raid should've been seriously contested if not an actual failure.  A Loyalist had observed the crossing and went to Trenton to report it.  A note was written and given to the commander of the Hessian regiment stationed in the town.  Colonel Rall placed the note in his coat pocket and returned to his ongoing card game.  When the battle properly began he was one of the Hessian dead.

It really helps when the opponent is being stupid.

On this day in 1991 the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was formally dissolved.

So what is Christmas?

It's commonly held to be the celebration of a birth.

But there’s something more to Christmas and it's the idea that God would come to us as a person to speak to us as people.  No priests as intermediaries or a light show miracle, just a conversation on a personal basis.

Some Christians don’t understand this.

Merry Christmas. 

Incompetence

Valerie Haney my repayee at Agate (formerly St, Stephen's) was replaced by an incompetent person.  Because of her incompetence my bill from Centurylink wasn't paid.  I've been cut off from the Internet for more than three weeks.  The incompetent person has been replaced and he worked hard to clean up the mess she left.

On Illinois Democrats

In a civilized society the proper function of parents and educators is to teach children the skills and social norms for living in a civil society.  This includes teaching the child to respect for the right of Life, Liberty, and Property of others.  Socialists on the other hand because of their dependency on the production of others must teach the primacy of the parasite and contempt for the actual rights of others.  Thus in Socialist dumps like Chicago the apparatus of government is materially and doctrinally turned against the honest and productive for the benefit of an ever growing swarm of parasites.  This of course sets an adverse example for anyone growing up in Chicago or any other Socialist dump.

If there's one thing I'd hate more than Illinois Nazis it would be Illinois Democrats.

On Climate Change

Environmentalists have willfully rejected the fact that Human Life is the foundation of all moral values.  If the sacrifice of helpless children isn't evil, then what is?  The fact of the matter is that we live in a dynamic universe.  Variations in the average planetary temperature occur as part of a natural cycle and killing helpless children will have absolutely no effect on it.  We must further recognize the fact that those who deny the Human Right of Life are nothing less than Enemies of Mankind.

On Censorship

Censorship is practiced by those who have to silence their opponents.  Censorship is practiced by those who know they’re wrong.  Censorship is the negation of the Human mind.  Censorship reduces Human Beings to mere animals.  As rational thought is necessary to living a Human life the censor, and those who demand it, are Enemies of Mankind.

If any of the first four amendments are infringed by legislation, enforced by executive power, and their abrogation is upheld or ignored by the courts, unremitting, forcible resistance, and aid and comfort to its citizen-soldiers, is a moral imperative for every single person who believes that life, liberty, and property are unalienable and self-existing, and not grants of government privilege.

"The United States should get rid of its militias." -- Josef Stalin, 1933

"The foundation of a free government begins to be undermined when freedom of speech on political subjects is restrained; it is destroyed when freedom of speech is wholly denied." -- William Rawle, LL.D. Philadelphia, 1825

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes ... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." -- Thomas Jefferson (1764) -- Quoting 18th Century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment

Personal History

One of my neighbors had a Jaguar E type convertible when I was growing up.

On Gun Control

The claim that members of the public will be protected by their own disarmament is an absolute lie.  Disarming the citizens of the nation is clearly an act of treason. 

 

On Criminal Behavior

Safepointing is essentially criminal behavior.  Scientology routinely safepoints.

Birthday

The age of sixty four hits me today.  On this day in 1960 I was born.  There were no signs and portents in the sky and the most important thing to happen on that day was a performance by a garage band from Liverpool in a West German strip joint.  A copy of The Sensuous Dirty Old Man by "Doctor A" (Issac Asimov) would be nice.  I'm so old that I remember when Saturday Night Live was actually funny.  I'm so old that I remember when The Blue Danube was a waltz and not a soundtrack for spaceflight.  When I was stationed at Fort Benning I purchased a copy of On War by Clausewitz.  Every time time I read it I would always go to sleep.

 

Mocking Evil

Ayn Rand said it was right to mock evil as it was recognized as evil.  I know it’s not original but I had to do it, so here’s the Dead Prophet Sketch.


The cast:  Tom Cruise, a short guy.  David Miscavige, a really short guy.


Tom Cruise enters the shop pushing a large leather chair with dead old man on it.

TC: Hello, I want to complain.

(Miscavige doesn’t respond.)

TC: Hello, Miss?

DM: What do you mean "miss"?

TC: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!

DM: We're closing for lunch.

TC: Never mind that! I’m here to complain about this prophet that I purchased about half an hour ago from this shop.

DM: Oh yes, the, uh, the Nebraska Red. What's, uh...What's wrong with him?

TC: He's dead, that's what's wrong with him!

DM: No, no, he's uh,...he's resting.

TC: Look, I know a dead prophet when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

DM: No, no, he's not dead, he's, he's resting! Remarkable prophet, isn't, it? Beautiful haircut!

TC: But he's stone dead.

DM: Nononono, no, no! He's resting!

TC: All right then, if he's resting, I'll wake him up! (shouting at the chair) 'Hello, Ronnie! I've got some lovely cash for you to grab if you show...

(Miscavige hits the chair)

DM: There, he moved!

TC: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the chair!

DM: I never!!

TC: Yes, you did!

Owner: I never, never did anything...

TC: (yelling and hitting the chair repeatedly) HELLO RONNIE!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!

(Takes Hubbard out of the chair and thumps his head on the counter. Stands him up and watches him fall to the floor.)

TC: Now that's what I call a dead prophet.

DM: No, no.....No, he's stunned!

TC: STUNNED?!?

DM: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was waking up! Nebraska Reds stun easily, sir.

TC: Now look... I've definitely had enough of this. That prophet clearly deceased, and when I bought him not half an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out following a prolonged lecture.

DM: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the wheat fields.

TC: PINING for the WHEAT FIELDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?  And why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got him home?

DM: Nebraska Reds prefer to lay on the back! Remarkable prophet, isn’t he? Lovely haircut!

TC: Look, I took the liberty of examining that prophet when I got him home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting in his chair in the first place was that he had been NAILED there.

(pause)

DM: Well, of course he was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed him down, he would have stood up and gone VOOM!

TC: "VOOM"?!? Sir, this man wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through him! He's totally demised!

DM: No, no! He's pining!

TC: He's not pining! He’s passed on! This prophet is no more! He has ceased to be! He’s expired and gone to meet his maker! He’s a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the chair he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He’s off the twig! He’s kicked the bucket. His thetan has dropped the body and moved on to Target Two!! THIS IS AN EX-PROPHET!!

(pause)

DM: Well, I'd better replace him, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry sir, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop we're out of prophets.

TC: I see. I see, I get the picture.

DM: I got a slug.

(pause)

TC: Does it talk?

DM: Nnnnot really.

TC: WELL IT'S NOT A REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?

DM: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet)

TC: Well?

DM: It leaves a trail of slime.

TC: All right. 

 

Anniversary

The Imperial Japanese Navy made a serious mistake on this day in 1941.

If the present staff of the New York Times or CNN were  on duty on the Infamous Day they would denounce the United States Navy and Army Air Force for racist violence against the Imperial Japanese Navy.

 

Overheard in San Francisco:

"We shouldn't think too badly of the Japanese. After all, they would not have attacked Pearl Harbor if we had not hit them first with the atom bomb."

If this were a Monty Python sketch a knight in full plate armor would walk into the scene and strike the speaker on the top of his/her head with a rubber chicken and then walk away.  On second thought, the twit in question may actually qualify for the full sixteen-ton weight treatment.

 

Why Did The Democratic Party Lose?

The Democratic Party consistently nominated candidates who were consistently unfit to hold public office.

Opinions

Social Engineering NEVER works.

When insane people are put in charge the result is insane policy.

When buffoons are placed in charge the result is buffoonery.

To err is Human, to really mess up takes a collective.

Western Civilization is collapsing.  I have the unfortunate privilege of witnessing this.

Excuse For Tyranny

There's no such thing as a valid excuse. 

This editorial was originally published in the Winter 1995 issue (Volume I, Number 3) of THE RESISTER.

This editorial explains why I and a number of other rational citizens of the American Republic will not quietly submit to the whims of the God-Kings foisted upon us by the mob of Depraved-Americans, Corrupt-Americans, Stupid-Americans, Ignorant-Americans, Deceased-Americans, and Imaginary-Americans.

Democracy: The Politics of Tyranny


Rights are a moral principle, and each man has inalienable rights over himself, his faculties and his possessions. This moral principle, this objective reality, means that a man has a right to his own person, his mind and body, and therefore his own labor. Furthermore, a man has a right to the productive use of his labor and faculties. Because a man has these rights he must respect these rights in all others. Since each man is sovereign over himself, each individual must consent to any activity which directly affects his person or property before such activity can assume moral legitimacy.

In a rational society founded of the moral principle of rights there can be no force or fraud in the relationship between sovereign individuals. When rights are properly exercised they take nothing from anyone, nor do they compel anyone to act in a manner detrimental to their own self-interest. Notice that the rational exercise of each right enumerated in the Bill of Rights to the Constitution by an individual takes nothing from, or compels, other individuals in their rational exercise of these rights.

Only individuals possess rights. Groups, being nothing more than a number of individuals can, in themselves, possess no rights other than those which are possessed and exercised individually by each member. Hence, a faction has no rights; nor does a gang, a mob, a tribe, a state or a nation. A group may hove interests but those interests do not assume the moral legitimacy of rights. To assert otherwise is to descend into abstract subjectivism, an evasion of reality, where a society is ruled by the-range-of-the-moment whims of its members, the majority gang of the moment, the current demagogue or dictator.

Government is force. No matter how benign or dictatorial, behind every law or regulation or act there is a gun. The authors of the United States Constitution were fully aware of this fact. They recognized that government in a rational society must derive its delegated powers by the consent of the governed and that these powers must be specifically defined by law--the Constitution; delimited by a law higher than government--the inalienable rights of man; and dispersed by permanent separation of powers. For these reasons they specifically and intentionally REJECTED democracy as a system of government. The system of government created by the Founding Fathers, men devoted to the primacy of the source of all rights, man's faculties (which means; reason), was the CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

Democracy is the antithesis of the natural rights of man. The philosophical premise of democracy is egalitarianism; not political egalitarianism which holds all men equal before the law (justice), but METAPHYSICAL egalitarianism, the belief that all men are equal in all things. This last construct is such an obvious falsehood that it can carry only one meaning: the hatred of reason. Democracy, by its very definition - rule by majority - is the notion that" might makes right." The exercise of democracy reduces men to mere numbers, and the faction or gang which gathers the greater number of men to its fleeting cause wields the government gun against the minority.

From this view of the subject, it may be concluded, that a pure Democracy, by which I mean a society, consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the Government in person, can admit no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will in almost every case, be felt by the majority of the whole; a communication and concert results from the form of government itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party, or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is, that such Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property, and have in general been as short in their lives, as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed, that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.

--Publius (James Madison), The Federalist X, 1787

Indeed, specific safeguards were designed into the Constitution to prevent the subversion of the constitutional republic and the natural rights of man by political party gang warfare and special interest factionalism inherent in a democracy: the Electoral College (Article II, Section 1) and the election of senators by State Legislatures (Article I, Section 3).

In the case of the former it was specifically intended that the head of the Executive branch of the federal government be elected by Electors chosen by each state legislature in equal proportion to its representation in Congress; NOT by popular vote. This ensured : "No faction or combination can bring about the election. It is probable, that the choice will always fall upon a man of experienced abilities and fidelity. In all human probability, no better method of election could have been devised." (James Iredell, North Carolina Ratification Cttee., 1788)

The latter provision ensured the logical effect of popular election of members to the House of Representatives (whim based legislation) was offset by representatives elected by state legislature to the Senate to guard against Executive and House encroachment on state sovereignty: "The election of one branch of the Federal, by the State Legislatures, secures an absolute dependence of the former on the latter. The biennial exclusion of one-third, will lesson the faculty of combination and may put a stop to intrigues." (James Madison, Virginia Ratification Cttee., June, 1788)

The United States has been descending into the sewer of democracy since the ratification of the 17th Amendment on May 31, 1913. Before every presidential election there are demands by special interest groups to void the Electoral College and resort to popular election of the President. This headlong rush into democracy is evident by the "value" placed on public opinion polls by politicians of both parties (a practice begun by the crypto-communist Franklin D. Roosevelt); as if the opinions and "feelings" of factions, gangs and tribes were a counterweight to the inalienable rights of a single rational man.

The irrationality of democracy was stated most eloquently by Auberon Herbert in his London address on March 9, 1880, before a meeting of the Vigilance Association for the Defense of Personal Rights, entitled; CHOICES BETWEEN FREEDOM AND PROTECTION: "How should it happen that the individual should be without rights, but the combination of individuals should possess unlimited rights?"

--Alexander Davidson

Proposal

If I've a complaint about The Republican Party it's that they've shown godlike patience with the behavior of The Democratic Party.  Democrats can assault in public those who won't submit to them, destroy property, call for the mutilation ("Lobotomies for Republicans") of opponents, the murder of elected officials who're carrying out their constitutionally mandated duties, and they'll not lift one finger to hurt a single hair on the otherwise useless head of a Democrat.  I once told an editor that I worked for that we needn't rhetorically dehumanize our opponents, all we have to do is accurately describe their ideology and behavior because they've by their own choice dehumanized themselves.  To Democrats the fundamental value is power.  Freedom is the negation of power and therefore must be opposed.  A Democrat wouldn't be caught dead standing up for an actual Human value.  Has anyone noticed that The Republicans are clearly once again the party of Liberation while The Democrats have resumed their old role as the party of Tyranny.The worst enemy of any nation are it's politicians.  Having a Democrat whine about someone else engaged in the sexual abuse of others, being corrupt, or having a dictatorial lust for power is like Larry Flynt complaining about someone else being obscene.  If we're to have a future then governmental power has to be limited.  Those who demand unlimited power have to be treated as the Enemies of Mankind they actually are.  But the fact of the matter is that Democrats see people as something to be used.  Democrats ARE the Enemies Of Mankind. And if a person is unusable by The Democrats, why keep them alive?  The Democrats sent young men to die in the Vietnam War, a Republican administration stopped the Vietnam War.  I've proposed starting a new political party.  If The Republican Party doesn't clean up its act then we as rational citizens will have no choice but to start a new party if we want to peacefully make changes and restore a rational system of government.  Revolutions (real revolutions, not Marxist ones) happen because the government fails to function.  We in the United States are stuck with two political parties.  The leadership of one party is insane and the leadership of the other party simply doesn't care.  Rank and file members now call establishment members leading members a bunch of Vichy Republicans.

Perhaps it's time to start a new political party.  Is a new political party possible?

The answer is, I don’t know.  The opponents of chattel slavery proceeded, even with public opposition.  We, as opponents of political power, have to.  We need to treat exercises of political power, such as censorship, as crimes against Humanity.  We need to treat bans on firearms and free speech as the anti-Human acts that they actually are.  Our political elites have apparently forgotten the lesson taught by our original Civil War that banning freedom doesn’t work.  Our political elites tried to ban the voluntary consumption of alcohol, it didn’t work.  Our political elites tried to ban the voluntary consumption of hard drugs, it doesn’t work.  Our political elites will try to ban the voluntary ownership of firearms and freedom of speech, it will never work.  Our politicians are supposed to do a specific job and they aren't doing it.  We have to start a new political party to go around them.  We don't have a choice.

Let's call our new party the Freedom Party.

Will the Freedom Party replace the Democratic Party?

I don't think so.  What's more likely is that the Freedom Party will replace the Republican Party just like the Republicans replaced the Whigs.

It's Happening Again

Why did ANY act of mass murder happen?

WHY DID THE NIGHTMARE OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, WITH NEARLY TWO HUNDRED MILLION DEAD, HAPPEN?

Susan Huck (Ph.D) told me directly that monsters are never hiding under the bed, they’re right out in the open.

Why did The Holocaust happen?

The actual author of the Book of Genesis actually had a point: Evil often presents itself as Good.

The Third Reich is a lesson from history that we're ignoring.  The Holocaust wasn't a unique event.  The Holocaust (and other horrors) were the result of normal people acting normally.  Why did a particular horror happen?  There's an answer but you may not like it.  A horror happened because the perpetrators believed they were good people with their victims and opponents being evil.  We've seen this before with numerous horrors and it will happen again.  What we're dealing with are people who believe they're good people.  We have to deal with them as such no matter how horrible the things they actually do.  Many of the people who’re loudly proclaiming “never again” are going to do it again.  The National Socialists and Soviets believed themselves to be good people, we're seeing the same phenomena with Anti-Fa.  Anti-Fa claims to be opposed to Fascism no matter what they actually do.  Anti-Fa does the things that Fascists actually do.  Members of Anti-Fa will believe the lies they're told regardless of the consequences.  Members of Anti-Fa claim to oppose Fascism, in fact they're what Fascists are.  Most members of Anti-Fa don't know that they're following the dictators handbook.  Most proponents of tyranny, such as members of Anti-Fa (National Socialists, Soviet Communists, etc.) believe they're good people and that their victims and opponents are evil.  If a dogma requires the commission of a vile act then that act WILL be committed.  When someone denies their own Humanity then they WILL commit crimes against Humanity.  It's very easy to predict what a self appointed opponent of Fascism will say.  Just take a mouth dropping of a National Socialist and replace the word Jew with the word Fascist.

Those who don't remember history are a highly sought after group of followers.  We identify The Holocaust as the horrible act it actually was.  And we should be horrified.  But we're seeing The Holocaust from an objective perspective.  From the subjective perspective the perpetrators of The Holocaust saw themselves (apart from some psychopaths) as being good people doing good things with their victims and opponents as being evil.  We're seeing this again with the Marxists who make up the membership of Anti-fa.  They see themselves as being good and their victims and opponents as being evil.  I've said this before: Killing a Marxist isn't an act of murder, it's an act of self defense.  I have a warning for members of Anti-fa, when you Brownshirt someone, don't be surprised that you're treated as a Brownshirt.  I've found through direct experience that the opposition really believe they're the good guys.  If a member of Anti-fa wants to see a Totalitarian, all they have to do is look in a mirror.  Totalitarians are never hiding under the bed, they're in plain view.  For those who value power no act is too vile.  Killing a member of Anti-Fa isn't an act of murder, it's an act of self defense.  Members of Anti-fa should be engaged with aircraft like the AC-130 and A-10.  A Fascist isn't who the self styled opponents of the doctrine believe they are.  WE HAVE THE DUTY to see the self described antifascist as they truly are a National Socialist piece of shit who should be hanged from the neck until dead.  And WE HAVE THE DUTY to identify the Mainstream Media are a bunch of liars.  Once a difference in opinion is criminalized a civil war is inevitable.

Voltaire said it: Those who believe absurdities will commit atrocities.

I have a question for members of Anti-Fa and BLM: what part of "Never Again" didn't you understand?

Collectivists will behave as Collectivists.  Totalitarians will behave as Totalitarians.

Why don't we assassinate the false president Joe Biden and/or the false vice president Kamala Harris?  Because their assassinations won't solve the problem.  The actual problem is a culture that holds the rights of individuals in contempt.  The assassination of Biden and/or Harris won't solve that problem.

Opinions

Individual Rights require Individual Responsibility.

Evil people often believe they're the good guys.

The Democratic Party has all of the credibility and respect for the citizens shown by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.  Which is to say: NONE AT ALL.

"Woke" people are simply ridiculous.

Definition

Marxism is an elitist doctrine.   It was created by a self appointed elite for the benefit of the self appointed elite.  Marx, Engels, and their subsequent followers, saw themselves without qualification as the masters of the actually rational and productive citizens of their nations.

Proposed Amendments

All religions which deny the validity of the Constitution shall not claim protection under it.

The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. 

Another proposal:

Section 1. The sixteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

 Section 2. Neither a tax upon upon the income of a person, nor upon the income of a commercial enterprise, shall be levied within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Section 3.  Neither a tax upon land and structures built upon it, nor the unsold inventory of a commercial enterprise, nor a gratuity, shall be levied within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

 Section 4. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

A Reminder

You have a right to form your own opinion but you can't form your own facts.  Reality is real.  Live with it. 

Today is Thanksgiving Day.  The day a small group of very serious Christians celebrated surviving their hardcore idiocy.  Seriously just because one believes Jesus said that Communism was right doesn't mean that it's actually right.  Likewise the hardcore Communists who presently rule over us will be overthrown.  We the real citizens of the United States must do so in order to really live a Human life.

What Does The Left Want?

The Left doesn't want unity.  The Left wants submission.

Motivator

 

Opinions

A nuke will be needed to get President Trump.

The facts are that no two people are identically productive and there will be a difference in economic effect.  Weather has been and will continue to be driven by natural causes and is completely out of Human control.  And the species Homo Sapiens in the political context must be seen as a single race.  The idea of morally and politically distinctive races was a fundamental cause of the lethal nightmare of the last century. 

Authority is based on understanding and compliance to the truth.  Those who lie have no authority over anyone. 

Might doesn't make right. 

Leftists doesn't care about the Truth.

What Happened?

President Trump got inside of the OODA loop of OODA of false vice president Harris.  False vice president Harris couldn't cheat her way into the White House like false president Biden did.

What is the OODA loop?

The OODA loop, also called the Boyd cycle, consists of four actions.

Observe.

Orient.

Decide.

Act.

The false vice president Harris didn't have enough time to cheat.

Aniversary

On this day in 1963 a pathetic little Communist murdered an open opponent of Communism.  He was doing what Communists normally do.

On Climate Change

Let's look at the concept of climate change.  The Terrestrial biosphere is a dynamic environment within a dynamic universe.  Changes of climate happened naturally and will continue to happen naturally.  There's simply no way around it.  The idea that Human action's the single cause of climate change is absolute nonsense.  It's nothing more than an excuse for the enlargement of political power and adversarial political actions against the productive people of this nation.  It's nothing more than an excuse for Tyranny.  All of us who attended the Benning School for Boys have learned there's no such thing as a valid excuse.

Assholes

It's always a power tripping asshole who helps the barbarians.

Opinions

I forgot: When I was stationed at Fort Benning the United States Army made the transition from canned c-rations to MRE's.

Ignorance is a weakness. 

What someone believes isn't necessarily the truth.

What you believe may not be right. 

The NSDAP believed they were in the right.  The Democratic Party believed they were in the right.

We on The Right believe in justice.  The Left on the other hand believes in power. 

Don't weaponize the Justice Department.

Some Democrats don't understand that they legitimately lost the election.  

Punishing a man for an act he didn't commit is unjust.  Imprisoning a man for speaking the truth is tyrannical.  Disarming the citizens who're the sovereign authority of the nation is Treason.

On Socialism

The taxpayer only exists to benefit the State.  In Collectivism a person only exists for the benefit of the Collective.  The Left being dependent upon others for their sustenance must stand in opposition to the society of rational consent and openly support systems of compulsion because to do otherwise is to condemn themselves to death.  We’re now one step closer to Revolution.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

--Karl Marx

Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good.

--Ayn Rand

Quote Of The Day

The engine of tyranny is a blind, indifferent juggernaut, insensible to reason, justice and equity, and so necessarily inimical to them. It matters not the good intentions of the hand that launches it into the affairs of men. Once started, it moves almost of its own volition, corrupting, consuming and destroying everything in its path. It is a fundamentally nihilistic phenomenon. Its power is both centripetal and centrifugal, on one hand drawing its potency from that which it can corrupt; on the other, crushing or flinging aside the incorruptible.

--Edward Cline

Why?

We keep asking ourselves why The Holocaust happened. 

Why?

A Quote

Judge and prepare to be judged.

-- Ayn Rand 

On Peace Activism

The fact of the matter is that the self described Peace Activist doesn't act out of conscience but out of a fraudulent desire to pose as a morally superior being without any regard for the millions of innocents that they condemn to death and servitude.  A Peace Activist is a willing accessory to the acts of mass slavery and mass murders committed by the various adherents of toxic ideologies such as Socialism and Islam.  And killing a Peace Activist isn't an act of murder, it's in effect the putting down of a diseased animal which is a demonstrated hazard to innocent Human Life.  Being raped in prison and contracting HIV as a result may serve as a reasonable substitute for a proper death sentence.

Grocery Run

The Superior Person was deliberately blocking the side entrance of the Parker Skyview building.  I had to use the main entrance and walk around to the loading area to avoid a confrontation.

Atlas Shrugged. Ayn Rand. Penguin Group, Penguin Books USA, Inc., 375 Hudson Street, New York, NY 10014, USA. ISBN 0-451-17192-6 Paperback. vii + 1084 pages. 1957. $7.99.

Atlas Shrugged is the opus magnum of novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand, and is the first work of fiction to be reviewed in these pages. Its theme is the role of the mind in the affairs of man. Atlas Shrugged illustrates this dramatically and memorably by showing just why, for the first time in history, the men of ability should go on strike against the advocates of incompetence and the purveyors of envy, and what will happen when they do.

"Who is John Galt?" Throughout Ayn Rand's brilliant expose of the decline of the industrialized west disguised as a novel, this is the question that pervades every page. "Who is John Galt?" is not a question, it is a smear spit out by every incompetent, every altruist, every hater of intellect who demands to know how competent men dare to be competent, how selfish men dare to despise altruism, and how intelligent men dare hold the willfully ignorant in contempt. "Who is John Galt?" is the unspoken demand by the mob that men of competence, ability and intelligence serve them as slaves. "Who is John Galt?" is the sneer muttered by stock-yard animals who cringe before the individual who denies the collectivist-altruist premise, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

The heroes of Atlas Shrugged answer the altruist-collectivist demand for their servitude by refusing them the one thing the altruist-collectivists cannot shackle--their minds. This resistance is beautifully stated by the hero of Atlas Shrugged, John Galt, when the collectivists demand that he return to "do something" to save a world they are willfully destroying:

"We are evil, according to your morality. We have chosen not to harm you any longer. We are useless, according to your economics. We have chosen not to exploit you any longer. We are dangerous and to be shackled, according to your politics. We have chosen not to endanger you, nor to wear the shackles any longer. We are only an illusion, according to your philosophy. We have chosen not to blind you any longer and have left you free to face reality--the reality you wanted, the world as you see it now, a world without mind."

Atlas Shrugged is set in a despicable near future, one much nearer today than when the book was first published in 1957. From the beginning, Atlas Shrugged was denounced and slandered by critics from both the socialist liberal appeaser and conservative Buckley-ite compromiser schools. Precisely because its theme is the role of the mind; because its scenario is a world increasingly of, by, and for the mindless; because it illustrates so beautifully the types of ideologies that lead to power blackouts in New York City and the creativity that leads to the discovery of new types of energy; because it predicted events and policies that have occurred since, and because it is the story of the most intractable of resisters on strike against those very ideologies, events and policies that are choking the life out of us today--this book is not dated. Indeed, it is prophetic. Atlas Shrugged is coming of age with a vengeance.

Throughout the novel, John Galt, defying every disgusting premise of altruism and collectivism travels the country on a mission of sedition to recruit true capitalists to his strike. In response to demands that he return with "the men of the mind" he defiantly states:

"All the men who have vanished, the men you hated, yet dreaded to lose, it is I who have taken them away from you. Do not attempt to find us. We do not choose to be found. Do not cry that it is our duty to serve you. We do not recognize such duty. Do not cry that you need us. We do not consider need a claim. Do not cry that you own us. You don't. Do not beg us to return. We are on strike, we, the men of the mind."

As with any legitimate work of fiction, Atlas Shrugged projects an ideal. So why would the ideal productive genius, Francisco d'Anconia, destroy his copper mines and become a useless playboy? Why would a brilliant young philosopher, Ragnar Danneskjold, sail the high seas as a pirate, waylaying ships transporting looted capital to various "People's States"? Why would the most brilliant of them all, John Galt, whose greatest invention is looted by the unworthy heirs to the once-great company he worked for, wage a clandestine war against the world by removing the men most hated by it? Why would the heroine, Dagny Taggart, after struggling against the combined efforts of the world to destroy her transcontinental railroad, vow to kill this man, and upon breaching the strikers' security, meet him and fall in love with him?

And what kind of new ideology would they forge from the ashes of two thousand years of mysticism, altruism and collectivism? What will be the greatest gift they give to the world, they, the ideal who are only concerned with themselves? This is their gift:

"We have granted you everything you demanded of us, we who had always been the givers, but have only now understood it. We have no demands to present to you, no terms to bargain about, no compromise to reach. You have nothing to offer us. WE DO NOT NEED YOU."

Atlas Shrugged is a long book, a great read for a long winter. But be warned; Atlas Shrugged is much like these pages it is reviewed on, because not everyone can handle it, and not everyone would like for you to read it. In spite of that, it is proper that Atlas Shrugged repeatedly tops the Book of the Month Club's bestseller list, because the type of person who reads this book is the type who makes his decisions on his own, for his own reasons, and for his own benefit.

If you have reason to seek a real literary masterpiece, and if you think you can benefit from a genuine ideological challenge, follow the tale of a few great men and women in a mindless world of "People's States" and cringing appeasers, as they launch the ultimate resistance movement for the ultimate reason, and stop the motor of the world.

Atlas Shrugged will reward you like no other book known to this reviewer. It will do so with entertainment, suspense, one hell of a premise, and a few years worth of things to think about.

But don't take my word for it. Judge for yourself.

On Dealing With Evil

Roland Friesler, Hitler's blood judge didn't survive World War Two.  If he had he would've been one of the defendants at Nuremberg. 

The film Fury shows us the proper way to deal with a National Socialist or just a ubermensch.

Anniversary

Today is the anniversary of the end of the First World War.

On A Final Solution

Always attack, never defend.

Destroy by any means necessary.

-- L. Ron Hubbard

Members of the Cult of Scientology claim they're persecuted.  In fact the members of the Cult of Scientology are the persecutors.  The only way to resolve the problems brought about by the Third Reich was to destroy it.  It appears that the only way to resolve the problems brought about by the Cult of Scientology is to destroy it.

On The Democratic Party

POWER IS LIFE for the Democratic Party.  The Democrats and their supporters are dependent on us for their survival and well being.  Like all parasites they need to know that they will have a full belly and a roof over their heads so they're constantly micromanaging and oppressing us so that they can feel secure in their chosen mode of existence.  Parasites have a constant need to feel secure so they continually impose tasks and rituals of obedience on their victims in order to maintain that feeling.  This is why the false prophet Mohammad commanded his followers to pray five times a day. He needed the constant reassurance that his followers would continue to obey him.  As parasites the Democrats feel no less insecure.  Thus their need to constantly impose their will on us.

On Leftism

In my view the basic function of liberal (and specifically Marxist) doctrine is to deny Reality.  The specific fact of reality that absolutely must be denied under all circumstances is that each of us as human beings has right to say No.  No to the demand for obedience.   No to the demand for material support.  And No to the demand for absolute power over our lives.  Liberals and The Left in general are parasites on human society.  Without the power to compel others to materially support them the members of The left would be compelled either to become rational and productive people or to literally die off.  And it's not enough for The Left, especially their leaders, to be materially supported.  They must also feel secure in their status as the masters of the productive.  They must stage spectacular rituals of mass obedience to create and reinforce their feelings of security.  The parades on May Day and anniversary of the local ruling party's ascent to power.  The hours long speeches that must be listened to with total attention and applauded with the greatest of enthusiasm.  And don't be the first to stop applauding when the leader speaks, that's disloyal!  To The Left, every word of dissent or refusal is in practical effect a sentence of death for each of them.   It's no surprise that they're hostile to actual thought based on actual facts.

Real Peace

Peace in the real world is simply the absence of those who seek to deprive you, I, and our fellow citizens of our own Life, Liberty, and Property.  Real peace can only be achieved by the physical isolation or outright elimination of those who seek to subjugate, plunder and murder us.  This can only be done through the use of physical force.   In short, true peace can only be achieved only through the possession of superior firepower and the moral will to use it.

Comment

Until President Trump properly takes office we're still in danger.

Reminder

It is better to kill one hundred innocents than to let one guilty person go.

-- Dolores Ibarruri ("La Pasionaria"), Spanish Communist

We on The Right tolerate the long and drawn out appeals process for death penalty cases, as frustrating as it is, because in we want to be certain that we won't put an innocent person to death.  The Left when it's in absolute power simply doesn't care.  We on The Right believe in justice.  The Left on the other hand believes in power.  The Left doesn't care how high the pile of human corpses is as long as they're firmly seated on top.

 

Personal History

I was once a member of the Libertarian Party.

Changing the subject's a standard tactic that's taught at Toastmasters.  For those of you who aren't familiar with Toastmasters International it's a group that teaches the techniques of public speaking which in practice means teaching dull and boring people to be even more tedious, dull, and boring.  How do I know this?  Well, my participation in Toastmasters was strongly recommended by the Chairman and the Treasurer of the Libertarian Party of Minnesota during my brief involvement with them.  To make a long story short (too late) I was called upon to speak for two minutes on a subject that I knew nothing about.  The usual technique for dealing with this situation was to either change the subject or make up something to say.  This to me was the height of rudeness Instead I stood up and said this:

Mr. President, fellow Toastmasters, and honored guest, I have absolutely nothing to say on this subject.  Thank you.

And then I sat down.  The Chairman and the Treasurer of the LP-MN continued to pester me about attending Toastmasters until I found and ran off copies of a short story in STARLOG magazine of all places that mocked the organization.  I never heard a word from either of them on the subject after that.

 

Opinions

Some people don't think.  These people just believe what they're told.  Then they're mystified why they're held in contempt by rational people.   

The solution to a falsehood is to shine the light of truth on it.

There's never a shortage of idiots. 

To be a Born Again Christian is to deny Reality.  Born Again Christians have nothing on Common Leftists on denying Reality.

The Elites need America.  America doesn't need the Elites.

Social problems caused by the exercise of force and fraud won't be solved by the exercise of more force and fraud.

Evil people often believe that what they're doing is right.

There are people who believe they're superior.  They aren't.

Never apologize to Evil.

I'm having to rely on unreliable people.

Idiots exist.  I have to constantly deal with idiots.

Executions should be as prolonged and painful as possible.

The sacrifice of justice always results in injustice.
