HOW TO SURVIVE THE MODERN FASCIST SURVEILLANCE STATE

2023-01-13T11:47:00.000-08:00

1. Do not carry a cell phone with you. Instead have cell phones at locations where you are frequently, but not at locations where you might be frequently but would prefer to keep your presence private.

2. Do not have any job which pays you over the table. Instead, take up careers or jobs in which you get paid in cash. Find a way to be self- employed, and avoid programs of woke corporations requiring various types of fascist brainwashing.

3. If you are retired and have an SS card which the federal government credits every month do not use it for purchases. To keep your purchases private withdraw cash from the card and pay for what you need in cash. As you do this attempt to keep the balance on the card at a minimum.

4. Do not own securities, stocks or bonds or keep cash in banks. Some banks like Wells Fargo which have a long record of consumer fraud should never be used. Find out what your friends have available and barter with personal services or cash. Persons with large bank balances could possibly lose everything they have by a Greek style Bail-in. Instead of keeping cash in banks buy farmland. Keep farmland in agricultural production with slow growing crops like trees.

5. Do not vote. Remove your name from Registered Voter List. Do not join a political party. Do not serve on Jury pools. Do not respond to census questions.

6. Cancel Television subscriptions like Dish, Direct, or Comcast. Modern flat screen televisions are frequently capable of spying on viewers. Instead buy DVDs which you might find interesting to watch. Get all of your news from the internet. But don’t believe anything you see there until it is confirmed by at least six sources. When looking at this sort of thing develop the skill to be able to quickly identify and distinguish facts from opinion.

7. On the internet do not respond to any unsolicited email. Instead delete it immediately. On clearly leftist sites post comments like ‘be sure to wear your mask and get your next booster shot.’ Do not visit sites which are clearly putting out click bait to entice more people.

8. Do not buy a firearm. Instead, if possible, borrow a firearm from a friend learn how to use it and carry it with you at all times. Large magazines are desirable but not necessary. If you need ten or more shots to hit your target you should get more practice or not have the gun.

9. Do not patronize big box stores, but if you must go to one of these always pay cash rather than with credit to prevent the harvesting of your personal information. Try to patronize small local businesses which will not likely be engaged in harvesting your information.

1 If you attend a Church make sure that the Church has a security program with armed members in every meeting.

1 Cancel newspaper subscriptions and do not write letters to the editor.

1 In grocery stores buy primarily fresh fruits and vegetables and meats. Avoid all packaged and prepared foods, and minimize use of salt and sugar.

1 Do not send any children to a public school. Use home schooling or private schools.

1 Own a home but not one which is larger than you actually need. Large homes are disproportionately taxed by most local jurisdictions to support local extravagant spending.

1 Try to avoid purchasing items manufactured in China.

1 Do not go to west coast woke states like California, Washington, and Oregon. Avoid all blue states. The bluer the state the greater the likelihood is of being killed by operatives of the state. Do not go to Washington D.C. under any circumstances. Many of these jurisdictions no longer practice the rule of law and when you are there you will have no individual rights. You can be murdered in cold blood and nobody will be held to account. There is also a great risk of being beaten viciously with metal batons and being permanently disabled.

1 Do not engage in any political demonstrations or protests even if it is a permitted demonstration. You will not have to do anything to attract additional attention to yourself. Speak the truth and the fascists will come to kill you. They cannot bear anyone speaking or merely thinking the truth.

1 Beware of medical advice and pronouncements. Seek out professional medical advice which you trust. Avoid ‘vaccinations’ which have now been exposed as weapons of eugenics.

The New American Freedom Militia

2021-10-28T06:57:00.000-07:00

A new organization called The New American Freedom Militia has formed now in several states. This group is now widely dispersed through several states and is engaged in building their force in preparation for the day when they will be called upon to seize power from the globalist fascists and reestablish constitutional government.

Declaration of Religious Exemption

2021-10-05T10:11:00.004-07:00

Declaration of Religious Exemption

I believe:

That the universe as it exists bears moral content and that the moral content of the universe includes the following,

1. That all persons are created equal and that none of humanity are endowed with a right to dominion over the lives of others and that none of humanity are endowed with an obligation of servitude,

2. That all persons have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,

3. And that the first moral requirement which the universe places on all persons is the obligation of self-preservation,

4. And that I am therefore under no obligation to accept an inoculation which I believe is ineffective and unsafe and which will potentially cause irreparable harm or death to my person.

These are my earnestly held religious beliefs.

The Former Republic of the United States

2021-10-01T10:03:00.000-07:00

The information from the fraudulent election of 2020 is now insurmountable and undeniable. The lawsuits are beginning to multiply and there does not appear to be any way that they will all be swept aside by the corrupt judiciary. The dangerous truth which is now emerging is that hell has no fury like a fascist exposed. The FBI is now being sent out to intimidate and harass any one who has the temerity to speak or publish the information exposing their corruption.

The financing of the virus at the Chinese bio-weapons lab in Wuhan is now fully out in the open. The operative plan is a world wide genocide facilitated by a 'vaccine' which will kill and/or maim millions of persons worldwide. In the wake of this universal genocide it may reasonably be inferred that an aggressive eugenics campaign will follow. Those in on this shameful agenda include the oligarchs and titans of Big Tech. Everyone who has obstructed the investigation or supported the silencing of others who are reporting the facts are guilty of complicity in the crime and abetting the crime after the fact.

The state governments which allowed changes in election law apart from the consent of their legislatures have been dissolved and new legislatures have taken their place. Those states no longer have a republican form of government.

The Supreme Court in its refusal to hear the Texas case violated Articles 2, 4, and 5 of the Constitution and threw out the Equal Protection clause, the Due Process clause, and the Right to Petition clause of the First Amendment. The Republic is over. The Supreme Court effectively announced its intention to no longer be a court and instead to become an American Politburo. Americans are now beginning to form armed militias and preparing to resist the fascists with deadly force.

Whenever usurpation takes place in a Republic what ensues is a state of nature in which every man does what is right in his own eyes. Every man will so decide.

Climate Catastrophism

2021-03-03T08:07:00.001-08:00

There are popular among the ignorant left several myths pertaining to climate. The first myth of climate catastrophism is that the earth is fragile. This myth is so preposterous it is not hardly worth discussing, but the fact is the earth has been here for 4.5 billion years and will be here for at least additional billions of years. A second popular myth is that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the primary determinate of climate on earth. A third myth is actually religious in character and it is that an existential crisis is upon mankind and that we will all likely die in the next ten or twelve years unless the United States which is solely responsible for this catastrophe spends trillions of dollars reducing the liberation of carbon. Still another myth was perpetrated by the corrupt and ignorant Supreme Court which some time ago ruled that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a pollutant. Now in order to lift this heavy veil of ignorance we need to review a few actual facts.

The seminal work in climate was done by a Serbian scientist by the name of Milankovic. What Milankovic showed over the course of his career in the first half of the twentieth century is that climate on earth is determined by huge natural forces including solar output, celestial mechanics, and the interrelation of these with geophysical forces. His work has been refined by recent scientific advances and discoveries but never been disproved. Today we could generally say that climate is determined by solar output, celestial mechanics, the biomass of the planet and plate tectonics.

Over the lengthy geologic history of the earth carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been much higher and lower than it is today. Over this period the average temperature on earth has been much higher and much lower than it is today. At times the earth has had tropical or subtropical conditions nearly to the poles. At other times the earth has been glaciated all the way to the equator. Ocean levels over geologic time have been hundreds of feet higher than today and at other times hundreds of feet lower.

Now what is an existential crisis? An existential crisis is one which endangers all life on earth. There are things which could happen and which would constitute an 'existential crisis'. For instance, if there were to be an imminent impact event of a Mars size body this would be an existential crisis. Or, if the earth were to suddenly lose its magnetic field this would constitute an existential crisis because the surface would be irradiated and the atmosphere would be blown off the planet. These events are possible but highly unlikely and so the earth is in no danger at the moment of any existential crisis.

In recent geologic times the earth has been passing through cycles of glaciation and de-glaciation. On average the planet has been warming since the end of the last ice age some ten or twelve thousand years ago. The cycles of celestial mechanics would seem to indicate that the next secular change in climate on earth will be a new period of glaciation which could begin at any time in the next ten or twenty thousand years.

Overcoming Scum Baggism in Politics and Social Media

2021-02-23T14:20:00.000-08:00

Even the casual observer of the modern United States is offended by the level of incompetence and corruption in government and social media. Powerful positions attract those who relish directing others to do all sorts of things which they would not freely choose. The ideology of the left in particular appears to be a socio-sexual personality disorder related to the Sadism and Masochism movement. Foremost among their priorities is the punishment of anyone who disagrees with their bizarre ideology. There is in our common human experience something quite recent which may give some insight on the direction of the country. Pol Pot killed millions of Cambodians in his quest to stamp out any and all genuine intellectual achievement. This extended to killing those who were suspected of having read a book or two. A fundamental cornerstone of progressive ideology is demonstrably a view of the moral superiority of ignorance.

Many of the same character flaws appear among the moguls of Big Tech and social media. Having achieved some success in a narrow field leads many of those to pontificate on all sorts of issues about which they have no basic knowledge. Going forward, those who wish to avoid being imprisoned or tortured to death would do well to not openly identify and criticize the abrogation of fundamental human rights which is now upon us. If the four years of Trump demonstrated anything at all, it was that no American is safe from the reach of the fascist deep state. Further, the fig leaf has fallen away from the corrupt court system and revealed the Supreme Court as nothing more than an American Politburo.

Can Americans overcome this far reaching scum baggism in politics and the social media? My answer is no.

Black Conservative Patriot

2021-02-18T11:05:00.001-08:00

On this day February 18, 2021 I went to the internet to get information from my favorite online source called Black Conservative Patriot. Much to my dismay I discovered that the racists and fascists at Utube had censored him for speaking the truth to power. Ironically on this day there is also broad discussion of 'reparations' for the legacy of slavery. It is doubtful that Utube will pay any reparations to their victims today. The censorship of such an individual is nothing more than the modern equivalent of the traditional horse whipping and lynching.

Biden Resumes the March to War in Syria

2021-02-03T10:59:00.000-08:00

Very early in his fraudulency the Usurper Joe Biden has resumed the march to war by invading Syria. Apparently there are insufficient ads on cable television in which a veteran recounts the loss of both legs and one arm in the Middle East, but then goes on to praise the Wounded Warriors group for providing him with a mortgage free home. The carnage and blood will all be laid to the account of the senile Biden.

Massive Voter Fraud Precipitates Huge Decline in Registered Voters and Participation

2021-01-13T10:58:00.004-08:00

There are many historical examples of what happens when Republics fail due to election fraud. Voters stop voting. Those who do not approve of the authoritarian usurpers don't vote because they cannot win. At the same time whose who do approve of the authoritarian usurpers don't vote because they cannot lose. Authoritarian governments respond almost always in the same way. Persons failing to vote are held liable to criminal and civil penalties. Fascists persecute those who fail to submit but reserve the harshest penalties for those who fail to approve of their bizarre ideology.

Big Tech, Social Media, and China

2021-01-02T14:53:00.001-08:00

What could big tech, social media and China possibly have in common? China is demonstrably a supremacist society and has been for millennia. Today they have a number of demographic problems which largely are of their own making. In an effort to control the growth of their population years ago they introduced a single child policy. The result of that policy followed for many years was that baby girls were aborted and boys were allowed to come to term. So today there are far more men than available women and they have an aging problem that is quite severe. It is in their interest to eliminate as many of the elderly as possible before the weight of their support becomes untenable on Chinese society.

What could be more reasonable from their perspective than to seek funding from the Obama administration for their virology lab in Wuhan. Whenever they have a genuine problem they seek the support and assistance of ignorant Americans, even if it means stealing intellectual property. So the virology lab in Wuhan was not engaged in real medical research. It was rather a lab designed for the production of bio-weapons. It is not just a coincidence that the virus they created happens to kill the very people whom they have in surplus. It kills elderly people with multiple other medical issues and leaves for the most part the young and productive undamaged. So, not to worry. The population of the young who work six days a week, ten or twelve hours per day was largely untouched. One is reminded of the stories from Nazi Germany which described how the hated and unwanted were lined up and arbitrarily separated into two groups, those who would be killed immediately and those who would be sent to labor camps.

So what could big tech and social media have to do with this? They face the same demographic type issues. It is the young and vibrant who line the pockets of big tech and social media with cash. It is the elderly and infirm who contribute nothing to the bottom line. There is among the self appointed fascist censors of big tech and social media a genuine hatred of those who exist and fail to support the agenda of low wages, slave labor, and bizarre ideology which has been a hallmark of the left for generations.

There is this visceral hatred for man which is a consequence of the Hegelian views of the left. These views suggest that man is a perfectible being who is perfected in the historical process through conflict, violence, and punishment. Further, it is not enough that those opposed to leftist ideology submit. One must not only submit but one must also approve of the left's ideology. Through the twentieth century there were a number of nations which lost their republican form of government through election fraud and became statist societies. The pattern frequently shares some of the same characteristics. They destroy historical artifacts, burn books, form national police forces, and spy on their own people so they can root out and punish all disagreement. This is who these people are. There is no difference between the mass murderers in China who deliberately killed millions of persons worldwide and social and big tech which approve of the vicious ideology of the Chinese.

When the left gets around to hanging the average person from a meat hook and beating him with a rubber hose, it will not be because he failed to submit. It will be because he failed to approve.

An Examination of Anthropogenic Climate Change

2020-12-22T16:46:00.008-08:00

Beginning in the early 1970s I began to hear claims of anthropogenic climate change. In those days the claim was not just of generic climate change but claims of climate warming. I was even then astonished by the uncritical affirmation of this theory and was from the outset highly skeptical of this viewpoint for some very specific reasons.

The climate of the earth is controlled by gigantic natural forces far beyond the influence of any man, group of men. or indeed of all men. Rather than just asserting these vast natural forces it is important to lay them out for examination as well.

The earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago in the huge disc of debris that orbited around the very young sun. It was formed by collisions of asteroids and comets that lasted millions of years. At the earliest period the earth had no oxygen in the atmosphere at all and the surface was entirely molten lava. Surface temperatures probably exceeded 5kF. With radioactive decay the temperature of the surface gradually cooled. In the late accretion phase asteroids brought in water in sufficient quantities to form the oceans we see today.

The first contributor to climate on earth is the sun and extraterrestrial impact events. If solar output increases only slightly the earth will broil. If solar output decreases only slightly the earth will freeze. This can at least partially be observed as climate tends to vary with the solar cycle of approximately eleven years. Impact events have caused vast changes in climate and major extinctions. Today it is believed that even the moon is a result of an early impact event, and its formation and orbit over billions of years has tended to regulate climate on earth by stabilizing the tilt of the earth on its axis and lengthening the period of precession to about 24k years. This influences climate on earth greatly because land masses and oceans are not evenly distributed on the planet. There is more land mass in the northern hemisphere and more ocean in the southern hemisphere.

Another extraterrestrial factor also regulates climate on earth. Over lengthy periods of time of about 400k years the shape of earth's orbit changes. Sometimes it is more circular and sometimes it is more elliptical. This is thought to be caused by the gravitational influence of Venus and Jupiter. A more circular orbit provides for milder climates while an elliptical orbit produces hotter summers and colder winters.

In short time frames the biomass of the planet sequesters carbon and in long time frames the earth itself sequesters carbon. Decaying organic material is washed off the land masses and is deposited in the oceans. The thick layer of decaying organic material covering the ocean floor of basalt is drawn under continental plates of granite and recooked by the earth to emerge in volcanic eruptions with releases of prodigious quantities of carbon dioxide and other toxic gases. Additionally, in peat deposits and from ocean floors the earth frequently releases large quantities of methane. In other areas biomass from the surface is trapped deep in the earth and over lengthy periods of time becomes deposits of coal, natural gas, and petroleum.

It cannot be emphasized enough that without a very hot solid core surrounded by liquid iron the earth would not have a magnetic field. Without a magnetic field the solar wind would blow the atmosphere off the planet, the oceans would evaporate, and the water vapor would escape into space. So the biomass of the planet and plate tectonics regulate the carbon cycle on earth. With all of these natural factors in play the carbon dioxide and oxygen content of the atmosphere has varied widely over billions of years without any input from man at all. Oceans have been both significantly lower and higher than they are today. Temperatures have varied greatly. At times the earth has been almost entirely sub-tropical or tropical while at other times the earth has been covered with glaciers all the way to the equator. The notion that man in his grandeur and power can cause the oceans to recede is absurd.

The activities of man are two fold. On the one hand man liberates large amounts of carbon in the form of coal, natural gas, and petroleum. On the other hand man sequesters carbon in many of his activities. Man sequesters carbon over long periods of time in building materials, asphalt, rubber, plastics, utility poles, and thousands of other products.

While it is easy to measure the amount of carbon that man liberates, it is very difficult to measure the amount of carbon that man sequesters. Moreover it is difficult to measure both the amount of carbon which the earth liberates and the amount of carbon which the earth sequesters. The efforts aimed at measuring this have proved unproductive. As it happens, if one measures carbon liberated and subtracts carbon sequestered (both by man and by nature) there is a problem. The difference should appear as an increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but this does not happen. What happens is that as much as 25% of the liberated carbon has somehow disappeared. It has not really disappeared, rather it has been sequestered somehow that we have been unable to determine.

Today the earth is in a terminal phase of de-glaciation. It has been warming for the most part since the end of the little ice age. The next major phase of climate change will probably be global cooling leading into a new period of glaciation. This change may take tens of thousands of years or perhaps even hundreds of thousands of years.

The end result of this kind of examination will reach an inescapable conclusion that the natural forces controlling the carbon cycle render any contribution by man as statistically insignificant. Man is much less important in the grand scheme of things than many are willing to admit. As much as he may try, man will never usher in an utopia.

The Triumph of Tutelary Fascism

2020-12-18T16:13:00.002-08:00

The results of the presidential election of 2020 are now in and becoming fully exposed. What transpired was a national fraud on what can only be described as an industrial scale. As such the victory of the usurper Joe Biden signals the end of the democratic representative constitutional republic and the birth of a new form of government: a tutelary fascist patriarchy of judicial supremacy. This result constitutes the end of the rule of law. The Scotus decision not to hear the Texas case against swing states was a repudiation of Article II of the constitution, the rule of law, due process, the equal protection clause, the first amendment, and the description of the Amendment process in the constitution. It was as if the Constitution was a pattern target hit by a shotgun blast. The Supreme Court ruled effectively against the first amendment right to petition government for a redress of grievances. Further it established that state executives, Governors, election commissions, may amend the federal Constitution from their offices and that state courts may amend the federal Constitution from the bench.

As an informed American on these issues, as soon as Biden is inaugurated I will go to my local Supervisor of Elections Office and remove myself from the list of registered voters. I will not again lend the credibility of my participation to another national fraud. It will never happen again. I expect millions of Americans to do the same thing, so many so that within the first two years of the Biden administration the idea of passing a law to require persons to vote in federal elections will be floated and most likely passed. Fortunately I have no children or grandchildren, so I have no descendants whom they will be able to hang from meat hooks and beat with rubber hoses.

The Goose Stepper Jig

2020-11-16T09:53:00.004-08:00

As it looks most probable now that Biden will be declared the winner of the 2020 election by a corrupt court system it remains to be seen how rapidly he will implement his promises. The promises are far reaching and in some cases incomprehensible. He promised to take down the wall built by Trump, forgive student loan debt, end the fossil fuel industries and by extension all petrochemical production, force the end of manufacturing of internal combustion engines, end air flight and aircraft manufacturing, institute medicare for all persons in the world health care system, throw open the borders, end all zoning in local jurisdictions, implement a national shut down, force the wearing of face masks, end agribusiness by compelling a return to subsistence farming, force the closure of all charter schools, seize all of the firearms owned by Americans, and take care to keep a list of all those who dared to oppose his bizarre ideology so they may be suitably punished. The whole approach is intellectually vacuous.

Fascism always ends the same way....by persons hanging from meat hooks and receiving beatings with rubber hoses. The left has long believed many of the same things. The left are Hegelians. They believe that man redeems himself in the historical process through conflict, violence, and punishment. They view the average man in the street as an incompetent fool who must be housed, led, fed, and most of all punished. For the left the fundamental existential truth of the universe is the punishment of man into submission. Biden and his entire family are grifters who have suckled at the federal sow for half a century. Of every thing that he knows and believes is the core belief...that he is your better.

The major problem with this agenda is that persons cannot be persuaded to change their deeply held views. The most that can be accomplished is that their silence can be and will be compelled.

Biden Will Resume the March to No-Win Wars

2020-11-09T03:11:00.001-08:00

Biden admitted in a now famous video that the Democrat Party created a huge election fraud scheme. Nothing will be done about this just as nothing was done about the Obama administration spying on Trump during his campaign and deep into his presidency. How can this be? It is simple. Follow the money. Biden will resume the offshoring of manufacturing and jobs because this is how his family became wealthy. It has been refined but still essentially the same influence peddling scheme for which Clinton became famous.

However, the most dangerous aspect of a Biden presidency will be the return to a march to war with Iran or North Korea or others. He may well even reverse the peace deals reached by Trump in the Middle East. After all war is the health of the state and nothing could possibly be worse for business than that peace break out across the planet.

We can also expect the end of the effort to eliminate the China grip on many assorted supply chains. Further it is entirely likely that the CDC or NIH under Biden will fund once again the Wuhan Lab that engineered the Virus afflicting the world. Since such a scheme worked well once it is likely to be repeated.

These and many similar forecasts do not require any prescience to predict. The huge inroads made by Trump into the Democrat base with minorities mean that from a demographic standpoint the Democrats cannot win any more presidential elections without widespread fraud.

In the lead up to the election in 2020 many state courts changed election laws by fiat and eliminated the need for signature verification and extending the periods for late counting and even eliminated requirements that voting take place before the closing of polls on election day. This may well be before the Supreme Court as a violation of the Constitutional provision that the state legislatures determine the manner of the selection of electors. The most likely outcome of such a case is that the Supreme Court will rule that in effect state courts possess the power to amend the Constitution from the bench.

It will be the kind of decision for which no one can predict its certain dire consequences.

Wear a Face Mask

2020-09-18T11:08:00.002-07:00

The need for wearing face masks and practicing social distancing is becoming increasingly clear. There is no way to predict what new bio-weapon China will release upon the world to kill hundreds of thousands of people and inflict trillions of dollars of damage. The Chinese have become skillful in the past, insisting on others to practice free trade while they practiced mercantilism. However, they never learned a fundamental principle of capitalism that it is unwise to murder your customers. It remains yet to be determined the breadth and depth of backlash which may take some time to fully emerge.

Congress: Investigate Kung Flu

2020-09-14T09:23:00.001-07:00

A Congressional investigation is needed of the Kung Flu virus as soon as it fades into the blood stained pages of history. The investigation needs to probe the two most important issues and provide clear answers to two questions:

1. Why did the U.S. government fund the virology lab in Wuhan?

2. Was the virus which is a part of the natural order discovered in the Wuhan lab or was the virus which is not a part of the natural order created in the Wuhan lab?

All intelligent persons know that the answers to these two questions will never be earnestly sought.

THE WAY FORWARD?

2019-09-22T15:58:00.000-07:00

Everyone educated before 1960 or so knows how the United States was formed and the design of government which the founders followed.   They were intent on founding a democratic representative constitutional republic.

   There were flaws in the founding to be sure. They had an unwarranted commitment to unity. So much so was this the case that they sacrificed the natural rights of man (slaves) to their vision of unity.   Anyone who knows anything at all about values knows that unity and diversity are both subordinate and not absolute values. The second problem in the founding was expressed in the early and extensive speech by Luther Martin. He argued persuasively that the lower body of the legislature in its proportional representation constituted a surrender of sovereignty by the states. He was right. Had I been there I would on these points have walked out of the convention with him and not returned. Madison's deprecating remarks about Luther Martin were probably one of the earliest examples of the resort to ad hominem in American political history when substantive counter points were outside his intellectual reach.

Nevertheless, the Constitution was ratified by the states and it has been downhill ever since. One of the early egregious moves occurred in Marbury v. Madison to which we may attribute the beginning of judicial supremacy.   For those looking for a modern example of judicial supremacy they may find it in any edition of any major paper running an article on Iran. Iran is an example of judicial supremacy. In judicial supremacy law really does not matter at all. It is belief that is of the greatest importance. In recent times the power of belief has been reflected in one quite astonishing ruling of the Supreme Court.   The ruling that carbon dioxide is a pollutant in our atmosphere represents the triumph of ignorance in our society and exposes the environmental movement as nothing more than an apocalyptic religious cult.

Later in the history of the country came the rise of the administrative state and a host of bad Supreme Court decisions especially arising from the expansive use of the commerce clause.

The belief system that accompanied the formation of the administrative state was an acceptance of the Hegelian historical dialectic produced by Fichte and put into practice by Hegel. There was also their radical repudiation of the value of the individual continued by Feuerbach.   The anthropology in the ideas of the German idealists was that man was a perfectible being who perfected himself in the historical process through conflict, violence, and punishment. The German idealists were rationalists like Joe Biden who ‘chose truth over facts'. So to them it was no matter of concern that man had not perfected himself in the past five thousand years of recorded history and therefore unlikely that he would perfect himself in either the near or remote future. They believed that the fundamental existential truth of the universe was the punishment of man into submission.   It was a sort of science fiction Borgian view: 'you must submit, you must comply, and resistance is futile'.

Other aspects of the 'slouch toward Gomorrah' made the situation even worse. The net result of all this is that our current form of government is a tutelary fascist patriarchy of judicial supremacy. Some might ask, 'fascism'? Vast segments of the modern economy are owned or controlled by the State. For instance, healthcare, retirement plans, transportation, land use, education, and energy production are all highly regulated by government. Some might ask, 'patriarchy'? It is a common view among many politicians of the left to view their constituents as children who need to be led, fed, housed, clothed, and most of all punished. They tend to see all levels of government from local to federal as acting in loco parentis. One must remember that Barak Obama announced to an audience as he campaigned for reelection in 2012, 'we are going to punish our enemies and reward our friends'.

In stark contrast to the German idealists and their modern day acolytes the founders did not uncritically accept the notion of the perfectibility of man. They saw man as deeply flawed and frequently exploiting the weaknesses of others in naked self-aggrandizement. The solution to this flawed character was the separation of powers. The most egregious behaviors of man in society were to be controlled by the 'chains of the constitution'. Unlike the German idealists the founders were not rationalists but rather were empiricists. They were followers of John Locke and undoubtedly had a thorough understanding of his great empirical work in which he asserted, 'there is nothing in the mind that is not first in the senses'.    Even in the later Federalist papers Hamilton asserted that the 'least fallible' source of all human knowledge and understanding is personal experience. As I heard my late father (who was an industrial mechanical engineer) say on many occasions, 'a single test is worth a thousand expert opinions'.

The question then comes, what is our exit strategy and what is the way forward for us to a rebirth of liberty? I do not know the answer to this question. Several ideas come to mind. An elimination of sovereign immunity would help. Reform of libel laws would help. Deconstructing the administrative state would be imperative. There would of necessity be a new recognition that the administrative state itself is a violation of the constitution which vests all legislative power in the House of Representatives and the Senate.    A balanced budget and a line item veto would help, and so forth.
Proposals to move forward with an Article 5 convention have been made. The problem with all of these approaches is that since the political class does not obey the current constitution significant doubt remains whether they would obey either a new constitution or new amendments.

The founders accepted the idea of natural law. This was the idea that without regard to any Holy Scripture, the universe as it exists bears moral content. Jefferson says as much when he refers to self-evident truth. The first principle of natural law, the 'unmoved mover' of natural law to which all other asserted aspects of natural law must be subordinate is the inestimable value of every individual. The claim 'all men are created equal' is nothing more than the assertion that none of us is endowed with a right to dominion and none are endowed with an obligation of servitude.

The founders rejected the idea that the fundamental existential truth of the universe is the punishment of man into submission. They asserted natural law demonstrating that all forms of government must arise from the religious disposition of man. However any person defined God they believed that the fundamental existential truth of the universe was the grace of God triumphant in the affairs of men. Grace and moral suasion were to replace punishment and compulsion. This was the greatness of the American idea and it was exceptional.

Modern man does not believe in natural law. The center of gravity today in American Society is existentialism. In this view each of us creates our own values as we wrestle with the exigencies and vicissitudes of our lives. All of these constructed value systems are morally equivalent. This has produced an atmosphere of moral relativism and multiculturalism. Further, as one walks away from natural law, one loses any basis for universal human rights and returns to the barbarism of tribalism.

Another aspect of humanity militating against a rebirth of liberty is psychological. Even a cursory examination of tyranny in history reveals a widespread insatiable desire in despots for the accumulation and expansion of power.   The drive for domination over others who must submit is quite striking. It is almost certain that this unquenchable desire to exercise dominion over others, to direct their lives, and to manipulate their persons is related to domination and submission in sadomasochism. It can reasonably be argued that modern statism is advocated by persons who have a socio-sexual personality disorder. Most likely this disorder can only be treated through extensive group therapy. It is, however, to be noted that sexual disorders are the most difficult to successfully treat and seldom result in the recovery of the individual.

There must be a recovery of the moral center of man in our society. I do not know how to address this complex problem. But this I do know: the answer will not be found in any text written by Immanuel Kant.

Reparations For Slavery

2019-08-13T13:38:00.000-07:00

Every rabid political season there emerges a new demand from some quarters for reparations for slavery. This demand is never accompanied by a discussion of who should pay the reparations or a discussion of who should receive such reparations. At least half of these issues should not be a matter of any debate. The states which approved of the Constitution and their dates of ratification are as follows:

Delaware - December 7, 1787
Pennsylvania - December 12, 1787
New Jersey - December 18, 1787
Georgia - January 2, 1788
Connecticut - January 9, 1788
Massachusetts - February 6, 1788
Maryland - April 28, 1788
South Carolina - May 23, 1788
New Hampshire - June 21, 1788
Virginia - June 25, 1788
New York - July 26, 1788
North Carolina - November 21, 1789
Rhode Island - May 29, 1790

These states would be the parties liable to pay potential reparations inasmuch as they approved of the Constitution which contained the 'slavery compromise'. Whether or not reparations are to be paid is a matter which ought to be decided by these states. States which joined the Union subsequently bear no responsibility for the the design of the Union in the Constitution in all of its particulars. The most reasonable course would be for the responsible states to vote on the issue.

These states should send representatives to meet on the issue and resolve it one way or the other. Reparations paid by third parties would not be acceptable in the traditions and laws of western jurisprudence.

If it easy to resolve who should pay reparations, it is much more difficult to determine who should receive reparations.

Inside the Mind of the Mass Murderer

2019-08-07T11:47:00.000-07:00

The murderers of individuals are motivated by a relatively small number of factors.   The murder of an individual can be motivated by money, jealousy, or hatred.   Individuals are almost always murdered by one of their acquaintances or family members. Some individuals are murdered as a result of illegal substance deals in which one or more parties feels cheated. Legal commercial deals in which one or more parties feel cheated can be and are regularly resolved by civil law. One cannot make recourse to civil law to settle disputes over illegal transactions. There is a high degree of specificity in these crimes which is usually discovered by thorough investigations.

    But what motivates the mass murderer? There are specific characteristics associated with many mass murders.   There is often a history of physical or emotional abuse. There is often a history of the use of addictive substances.   Mass murderers are often social outsiders not adept at social interactions. They may have a deep sense of isolation. The may have a racial, religious, or ethnic predjudice.   But with all of these factors, what do these mass murderers have in common?

This issue has not generally been discussed for a number of reasons. An investigation of this issue will certainly make many uncomfortable, and cause many to abandon the inquiry. The mass murderer invariably believes that his acts are in his own self interest as they represent an improvement in his humanity.   He sees himself on a journey of self improvement which is advanced by the murder of his victims.   His acts are points along the way to his certain perfection.   He sees his acts as reaching beyond himself and perfecting society as a whole, even if and especially if his acts end in his own martydom. The implicit religious belief in the mass murderer is the belief in the perfectibility of man... among whom he sees himself as an outstanding example.

   These are the same elements which are present with Islamo-fascist mass murderers.   Man is a perfectible being who can only be improved through conflict, punishment, or death.   Honor killings are efforts to reestablish the 'honor' of the family by eliminating whoever has damaged that honor.
It is all about the perfectibility of man.   The attackers of the World Trade Center took the view that they were providing the west with a valuable spiritual service and probably expected the proper response of the west would be gratitude.

It is the dubious belief in the perfectibility of man that drive all of this violent anti-social behavior.
Until this aspect is widely recognized it will be impossible to develop a proactive response.

The Iranian Theocracy and the Inevitable Future

2019-07-29T06:34:00.000-07:00

   For the longest time American politicians have believed that they could negotiate with the Iranian theocrats and convince them to join with civilized nations in productive relationships. This reflects a hopelessly naive understanding of the world and life view of the Mullahs.   In order to understand where the relationship with Iran is going one must examine the fundamentals of Shiite Islam.

   In the first instance, Shiite Islam rejects all notions of natural law.   This means that they reject the idea that universe as it exists bears moral content. Without a notion that the universe bears moral content there is no foundation for universal human rights. For the Shiites, tribalism is not something they accidentally back into in the same manner that western leftists back into tribalism by subscribing to group identity politics. For Shiites, tribalism is at the core of their belief.

   Shiites do not believe that all men are created equal....that none are endowed with a right to dominion and none are endowed with an obligation of servitude. They are supremacists. They believe they are endowed with a right to dominion and all others are endowed with an obligation of servitude.

In the matter of eschatology greater difficulty arises. Shiites believe that they are under moral obligation to usher in the end of days. They see all efforts in this direction as man perfecting himself within history.

On account of these aspects of religious belief they will not be dissuaded from building nuclear devices. Further, they will not be dissuaded from using those devices. They cannot be bribed to give this up. They will build a bomb and they will use it. They see this as their moral obligation.

So the only question which remains is the issue of where they will use it first. The most likely first use of these weapons will not be against Israel or the United States. The most likely first use of these weapons will be against Saudi Arabia. They will gamble that Israel and the United States as well as others will temporize and do nothing if the weapons are used against Saude Arabia. They are probably right.

BEFORE TRUMP

2019-07-19T10:50:00.000-07:00

    Before the stunning victory of Donald Trump in 2016 there existed in the United States among almost all senior elected officials a common understanding of the American people and the role of the United States in world affairs.

The American people were seen as incompetent, ignorant boobs who needed to be led, fed, housed, cleansed, transformed, and most of all punished by the enlightened few occupying the most important offices of government.   Since the close of the second world war the American taxpayer was envisioned by both political parties as Atlas holding the planet on his shoulders and bringing civilization to everyone everywhere who previously lived in a cave and wore a loincloth.

   In matters of trade this meant accepting the ideas of Philip Dru administrator endorsing one way free trade and a steeply graduated income tax.   But as it turns out, one test is worth a thousand expert opinions, and with the passage of time Americans came to see exactly how fatuous these ideas were.
What eventuated was a export of major sectors of the American manufacturing base.   The policies effectively turned the United States into a colony of all of the rest of the nations of the earth. The United States exported its manufacturing base, raw materials, and commodities.   It imported manufactured products, low wages, and excess populations of foreign countries.

Trump was elected and immediately set about reversing these historic trends.   For many years Republicans and Democrats had assured Americans that their manufacturing jobs were gone for good and were never coming back and it was time to get retrained to flip burgers at Hardee's. But after only two years in office Trump had shown that the standard bromides of Republicans and Democrats were nothing more than vicious lies. The success which he has had on economic matters virtually assure his reelection.

It has been my long experience that nothing engenders more resentment and hatred than dramatic success in large swaths of the public wed to envy and greed.   Thus, it is in my view that the life of Donald Trump is in real jeaparody from the crazed left, Islamo-fascists, mainline Democrats, and RINO Republicans.   For the vast center of the American public however, many can not remember ever being so respected by the leader of the country.

Thiel, Google, and Treason

2019-07-16T10:11:00.001-07:00

On the evening of 7/15/2019 the co-founder of Facebook Peter Thiel alleged that while Google had refused to partner with the US military on the development of Artificial Intelligence, it was nevertheless moving forward with providing that technology to the Red Chinese army. Thiel dared to suggest that this move might be considered treason and urged the FBI and CIA to investigate. Of course the possibility that Google would walk a tight line nearing treason comes as no surprise to the average intelligent US adult. Many of my acquaintances no longer use the word google as a verb. Instead they use the word goebbels as a verb.

Tutelary Fascist Patriarchy of Judicial Supremacy

2019-06-25T08:21:00.000-07:00

        There is no doubt or dispute among historians that the United States of American was founded as a republic and not as any despotic form of government at all. The Constitution as designed was a document of enumerated powers and not a document of enumerated rights. The branches of government were designed to be separate but equal with no branch holding supremacy over the other two.

The founders were deeply impressed by the work of John Locke and understood his two treatises as presenting the two basic ideas behind governance. One could either have some form of patriarchy or one could assert as a self evident truth that no person is endowed with a right of dominion over others and no person is endowed with an obligation of servitude to others.

With however, the passage of time and the ever swelling hubris of the political class the despotism of tutelary fascist patriarchy of judicial supremacy has reemerged to impose relentless punishments on the hapless citizen. The leadership in the movement has undoubtedly come from the federal level, but has also been followed in many of the several states.    Who will deliver us from this tyranny?
Who will save us from the government employee or judge arriving on the door step to announce that he or she has arrived to 'help' us.   Whence comes this dubious belief that the poor individual ignorant citizen must be punished into submission for his own good?

In recent years the notion of individual district federal judges imposing nationwide injunctions is antithetical to every notion of liberty that has ever been contemplated. To some these will seem wild and baseless statements.   But this pattern of governance reaches from the highest offices in the land all the way down to local traffic enforcement with local governments using fines not to punish truly criminal behavior, but merely to pad local budgets.   My concern is for the future of the country and for our posterity who will eventually hang from meat hooks to receive beatings with rubber hoses.

The Smear Merchants and the Demand for Trump's Tax Returns

2019-04-05T15:50:00.000-07:00

      The emerging demand for the release of Trump's tax return has an actual unspoken agenda.   In the first instance everyone knows, or should know, that the Democrats in congress already have Trump's tax returns.   It was only a short time ago that it was revealed that the Obama administration had a program of wholesale violations of first amendment rights of American citizens.

       It was Lois Lerner et. al. that slow walked or denied applications for tax free foundations and other conservative organizations. When questioned before Congressional committees on the issue, the felonious acts were so egregious and numerous that she was compelled by her own guilt to plead the fifth amendment. Since there was no effort when she was employed by the Internal Revenue Service to scrupulously obey the law, it is fatuous to assume that any other law would be obeyed.

       The natural conclusion of this line of reasoning is that the Democrats already have Trump's tax returns and are merely demanding the formal release of such information so as to not expose employees of the Internal Revenue Service to further criminal liability. They must already have returns for all eight years of the Obama administration. Why then, do they want the returns out in the open?   They want to reveal specific information to public scrutiny that Trump and many others would prefer remain private.

        The most reasonable conclusion of this line of reasoning is that they want to expose all private tax exempt organizations that have been recipients of donations from Trump over many years. They want to smear and besmirch those organizations regardless of what they do in an effort to destroy them.   It is about smearing everybody who is anybody who ever had anything to do with Donald Trump.

At the end of the day this mob of fascists will undoubtedly get their way, and none of us can predict how many worthwhile organizations will be destroyed. Who will be on the list? Hospitals?
Colleges, Educational Foundations...? Whoever they are they will be pilloried without mercy for accepting money from Trump.    It is after all not likely that Trump would have attempted to reduce his tax bite by writing off the donation of his used underwear as was done by Bill and Hillary Clinton.

The Tutelary Fascist Party and Christophobia

2019-03-19T10:19:00.000-07:00

The Tutelary Fascist Party (aka the Democrat Party) now supports several policies each of which will raise opposition among a variety of single issue voters. These positions include:

1. infanticide
2. a command economy
3. antisemitism
4. elimination of the 2nd amendment and seizure of all firearms
5. elimination of the 1st amendment
6. elimination of the presumption of innocence in American jurisprudence
7. elimination of all air travel
8. elimination of all internal combustion engines
9. elimination of the consumption of all fossil fuels
10. doubling the number of justices on the supreme court
11. eliminating the electoral college
12. broad and deep Christophobia
13. open borders and the end of all immigration enforcement
14. euthanasia
15. requiring all persons to become vegetarians ending all cattle, hog, and poultry production
16. razing all buildings in the nation and reconstructing them to be 'green'

As more and more of these positions become widely known and understood it will be necessary for future democrat electoral victories to depend on the importation of more and more persons from the third world. Any intelligent awareness of the extremism of these proposals will engender not mere opposition but extraordinary fear of their fundamental stupidity or ignorance.
