I did not want to write about Ebola since I typically tend to avoid discussing issues that are plastered all over the lame-stream media however this has simply become inescapable. When discussing anything that the media covers we must always keep a few things in mind. First, the media has degenerated into being a marionette mouthpiece of the political elite’s agenda. Second, in order to assess the accurate threat that Ebola poses to Americans we must have a comprehensive comparison of death tolls from other causes. Third, is the absurd trend of past national security viral threats.

The illusion of unbiased opinion the elimination of contrarian perspectives in the mainstream media can be understood when it is realized that in 1983, 90% of American media was owned by 50 companies, by 2011 that same 90% is owned by only 6 companies; GE, News-Corp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, and CBS. Furthermore we must understand that we currently live under a Corporate Fascist “government” in which there is a mutual masturbation of “government” subsidizing and bailing out corporate monstrosities and then those monopolistic corporations sending their hordes of lobbyists to bribe politicians through campaign contributions in order to ensure the passage of favorable legislation and barriers to entry that crush the growth of small businesses. Taking this into account the whittling away crushing of smaller businesses that control the media is only natural as State power expands and bloats to gargantuan dimensions. We must realize that when one watches mainstream media we are seeing a fundamentally accurate portrayal of the agenda of the political elite, hence caution must indeed be taken when viewing such nonsense.

I have been told by a few people, “Are you denying that Ebola exists!? There are people dying from Ebola in Africa! We should send money or help them in some way!” I am not denying that Ebola exists. I concede that it does kill people. However before we take any irrationally heroic measures, we must put the death toll into proper perspective. Influenza results in 250,000 – 500,000 deaths annually. Pneumonia results in 1.6 million deaths annually. Stroke results in 140,000 deaths annually. Heart disease results in 380,000 deaths annually. Alcohol abuse results in 75,000 deaths annually. Ebola has resulted in 4500 deaths since last year. Clearly Ebola is the greater threat to the human condition. Aside from the idiocy of the “Ebola threat” sending currency over an ocean to help fight an obscure viral disease is just as inane as sending foreign aid overseas to help the poor of Africa when in fact that currency most often ends up only in the hands of dictators and warlords. Help your neighbor, your family member, or your close friend! That is where our help is needed the most!

Let us count the ways that “government” has used the threat of disease to frighten the populace into compliance of further oppressive legislation; H1N1 (Swine Flu), Mad Cow Disease, Anthrax, Avian Influenza, Escherichia coli (E. coli) and now Ebola. They may be real but they pose about the same threat to our lives as a lightning strike or asteroid. Don’t divert what finite time you have on Earth to worrying about such trivialities. We have enough to worry about in our individual lives such as increasing our skills, keeping our jobs, raising our children, improving our relationships, and loving our families. These are the areas that really matter. This is how you can truly make a difference in the world. Inject more love and passion into the world and you will have done your part to bring about the beautiful world we all desire. Live ever more deeply and love ever more passionately!

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Joseph Goebbels, German politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945

What would the world look like if hard work was rewarded and sociopathy was punished? What would the world look like if savers were rewarded with increased purchasing power? What would the world look like if people and companies paid for their mistakes without passing the devastating cost of their faulty decisions to the taxpayers in the forms of bailouts, protectionist laws, cartelized monopolies, and State subsidies? What would the world look like if children were not imprisoned for 12 years in “government schools” and indoctrinated with State approved propaganda? What would the world look like if parents did not employ the same authoritarian violence known as corporal punishment to “raise” their kids about the world that “government” uses to enforce its threats and commands? What would the world look like if people did not believe they were superior to other people just because of the particular piece of dirt they happened to be born on? What would the world look like if people did not label foreigners defending their land “terrorists”, “religious fundamentalist”, or “radical insurgents”? What would the world look like if people did not label aggressors from one’s own country who invade foreign land as “freedom fighters”, “purveyors of liberty”, or “spreading democracy”? What would the world look like if the potential capital for product innovation and development was not stolen, through regulation and taxation, by thieving bureaucrats?

These are only a few questions in my mind that scrape the surface of the endless ways that humanity’s potential for greatness has been stifled and suppressed by “government”. Now I cannot blame all of this on “government” as that would be an oversight of the highest order. We outnumber our oppressors many times over and we are all human beings capable of deductive reasoning and critical analysis. Therefore if our potential for wondrous things is impeded and asphyxiated we have only ourselves to blame. A few hundred sociopaths cannot conceivably physically subjugate 313 million who resist. It is only possible when the oppressed have forgotten or have accepted their servitude as being self-evident and the natural order of things. When the people believe it is necessary to forfeit 1/3 of their annual income to “government” it will continue to be stolen. When the people continue to believe the “Islamic fundamentalists” hate us for our freedoms the wars will continue to be waged. When the people continue to believe their children are being educated in the indoctrination camps known as “government schools” they will continue to exist.

We need “government” in the same manner that a man needs a tapeworm. The State is a myth conjured by the clever sociopaths over the obedient and gullible. Some say “But without the State who would build the roads, protect us from foreign invaders, educate our children, mail pieces of paper, print pieces of paper to be used as currency etc?” The answer to this lies in each of us. We need to stop looking to the mythical patriarchal entity known as “government” to solve our problems and instead look to our community, each other, and ourselves. It might have been similarly asked of the abolitionist of the early 19^th century, “But without the slaves, who will pick the cotton?” We will of course!

Society’s needs comes before the individual’s needs.

We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society.

Many of us were taught in our “government schools” that voting is our civic duty and that it is the way we exercise who we believe should be governing us. I will make the case that voting is at best a suggestion box that slaves use to pitifully beg their political masters for more scraps from the table and at worst a violent intent to use the guns of the State to further one’s moral self-righteousness.

Assuming voting has any useful effect on the outcome, the very essence of Democracy is that, through voting, the majority can forcefully impose their will on the rest of the population regardless of individual rights. It is the disgusting intent to delegate to politicians the criminal act of robbing one’s neighbors that one is too cowardly to do oneself.  This is typical lynch mob morality and is nothing to be proud of. The group does not possess moral virtues that is absent in the individual, in fact historically it is shown that people in groups act with much more blatant brutality, barbarism, and insanity than they otherwise would acting individually of their own devices. Some may point out “Well we don’t live in a Democracy. We live in a Republic!” This may be true but cite me an enduring example in history when a Republic, or any form of “government”, has ever respected individual rights or property rights regardless of worthless Constitutions and Bill of Rights? You would be hard pressed to find such an example.

It is more likely that voting is a useless plea to our rulers hoping in vain that they return some of the currency they stole from us, recover some of the rights they trampled over, lessen the economic destruction wreaked on the market by their interventionist policies, or restore some of the stolen prosperity that fiat currency plunders from the unborn. Ask the black slave of the American south during the early 19^th century if they believed working within the system was a useful method for change. One would sooner see unicorns jump over rainbows than reasonably expect politicians to reduce their power over the multitude. This prospect is simply not in the realm of the sane.

Do not delude yourselves into believing you have a choice. The choice of what color the boot is that is stamping on your face is not the type of choice one should be proud of making. Do not participate in this farce. It only invalidates you as a human being and brings you down to the level of sociopaths. To ask for permission to be free is an open admission that you are not free! Recognize no man as your master! You are your own master!

The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don’t have to waste your time voting.

Charles Bukowski
