Here is a stunning 4-minute expose by James Corbett on the glaring inconsistencies of the official government report of the JFK assassination. This is a timely video as we recently passed the 50th anniversary of the event that happened on November 22, 1963. Why do we idolize and enshrine the life of a deceased murderous President of the USSA living in the lap of luxury at the direct expense of extorted taxpayer currency? Why are the lives of the little people worth so much less such as that of a struggling college student drowning in student loan debt, or a single mother working two jobs struggling to pay her bills and feed her kids, or a retired elderly person seeking to enjoy his/her golden years on a fixed income amidst furious government deficit spending, currency printing and currency devaluation, or a disillusioned veteran who returns home emotional scarred from murdering innocent people overseas at the whims of despots and Central Bankers at home?
Kill one man, and you are a murderer. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror. Kill them all, and you are a god.”
Jean Rostand
Our overlords do not have any more power over us than the power we directly give them. Our form of government is as ephemeral and impermanent as the air we breathe in and out. Withdrawal of participatory consent is a powerful strategy that we can all do and it requires no violent overthrow, revolution, or coup. Cash cows who refuse to be milked for their labor and industry cannot be forced to produce. Of all the great technological and scientific advancements that we so attribute to the great blob that has become of the 20th century militaristic superpower we call the USA, none of them has ever originated from oppressive government bureaucrats. No society of peace has ever come about through the use of force, violence, and coercive laws that lie at the heart of all formal government institutions. Do not vote to propagate this system of violence. Recognize that we are all individuals and entitled to our own intrinsic rights and are not bound by any Constitution. Constitutions are, after all, simply pieces of paper that have been arbitrarily written and can, just as well, be arbitrarily discarded and disposed of. Just as Federal Reserve Notes are fundamentally worthless without our consent and participation as to their use; so too is government fundamentally powerless without our consent and participation in its wretched propagation.
Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can’t conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.”
Robert A. Heinlein.
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.”
Henry David Thoreau
We do not have American problems, Hispanic problems, Jewish problems, Black problems, Women’s problems, Gay problems, or Muslim problems! We have human problems because we are all humans and subject to the same Natural Laws! We must stop this labeling, name calling, and arbitrary divisive segregation of people! We all want the best future for our kids, do not wish to steal from our neighbor, and just try to survive the week by working hard. We all have the capacity to feel love, compassion and kindness. This is what unites us despite the many efforts by the State and lamestream media to divide us. The shackles that sustain our bondage are primarily mental and therefore only require a shift of consciousness to dissolve.
Wow! Witness this powerful 8-minute video of a mountain man, who was arrested and charged with fishing without a license, defend himself with eloquence and demolish all the judge’s apparent credibility as a public official. He proudly states “I am the living man, protected by natural law. You are trying to create a fictitious fraudulent action. Do not tell me to shut up! I am the living natural man, and my voice will be heard!” When the judge asked how he will plead he proudly proclaimed “I never plead, animals plead, sounds like baaa, oink oink.” If we allow our masters to rule over us by citing the fraudulent and unjust laws they concoct we will see the process of how parasites growing in size slowly kills the host. We are in control of our own destinies!
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.”
Aesop
Please check out this wonderful animated 14-minute video clearly illustrating the futility in being a wise and benevolent ruler. Any ruler, even a philosopher king, will always have the unintended effects of hurting his/her subjects in one way or another. Voluntary Anarchy is the only way towards a peaceful existence. No government founded on violence and coercion can ever truly achieve lasting peace and prosperity.
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Paper constitutions have the same long-term value as paper money; also, like paper money, they lend a false sense of security to the holder. What constitution has ever kept the government from rewriting or discarding it throughout history? Just look at Latin America and Europe: one could make a bonfire with the constitutions they have gone through in the last 500 years.”
In this 16-minute video Stefan Molyneux delivers a powerhouse argument for the destructive nature that government has had all throughout humanity. Our so called government institutions are merely factory farms raising human livestock for milking and subsequent slaughter when no longer necessary. When it seems physical slavery has been alleviated it has been replaced by economic slavery, or an enslavement of the mind, a most insidious form that is without physical chains. We are moving not towards free-dom but towards becoming free-range chattel. The difference is clear.
No tendency is quite so strong in human nature as the desire to lay down rules of conduct for other people.” William Howard Taft, 27th President of the United States
There is no need for a revolution since the problem is not government but rather the belief in government. Just like when one discovers that there is no Santa Claus, one does not embark on a crusade to abolish Santa Claus but rather simply stops believing in him; so too must we collectively stop believing in the State and it will automatically cease to exist and cease to have any power over us.
No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck.”
Frederick Douglas
It was not Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, or Mao Zedong that committed the horrid atrocities we read about in the history books. They were committed by those who blindly obeyed and believed in their moral right to rule. Without the support of a willing people these sociopaths are merely madmen shouting their threats and commands in solitary confinement.
Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory.”
Leonardo Da Vinci
I love it when people say to me “In that country they have ‘free’ healthcare for their citizens. Why don’t we have that here?” Do they ever wonder how real goods and services can ever be “free” in the real world? Some people are too blindly enamored by this amorphous entity known as “government” and that it somehow has the capacity to save us from our many sins so long as we just give up as much of our extorted money as possible. Many Statists fall into this socialistic trap every time they talk of the European countries who are themselves drowning in debt as well.
The ‘anarchist/voluntarist’ point of view is that government is an irrational concept, which boils down to people telling other people what to do at the point of a gun, or using the circular logic that their code applies because their code says so.”
Marc Stevens
I challenge you to an interesting thought experiment. Type in the Google search box “government subsidy (any large mega corporation)” Regardless of what mega corporation you type in, you will find reams of articles on how the US has poured billions of dollars of tax payer money to artificially propping them up. It is not a level playing field! The government clearly plays favorites through these taxpayer funded bailouts, subsidies, grants etc. on a frequent basis. That’s the last thing you will see on the news. How can the small business owner compete with such blatant governmental favoritism? Get rid of the State and you will see such enormous monstrosities immediately collapse under the weight of their own inefficiency. I assert that monopolies and cartels cannot exist without the support of State funds and the protection of State laws passed through the bribery of lobbying and campaign contributions.
To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality.”
Pierre-Joseph Proudhon
For someone to claim that monopolies who run rampant among the business world if it were not for the valiant efforts by the State to curtail it, is equivalent to one claiming a particular predator would multiply incessantly in Nature, devouring all available prey if it were not for a central authority of control monitoring the predator/prey ratio that naturally exists. True these ratios experience minor fluctuations but they must always revert back to a standard medium or homeostasis. If, perchance, this situation would come about in Nature, not only would it wipe out all the prey that a particular predator feeds upon, but, through a lack of prey, this would lead to an immediate collapse of the “monopoly” of predators that will abound. The massive die off of excessive predators and the resultant flourishing of prey would re-establish the homeostasis once again. Of course this phenomenon is nonsense, as we can all clearly understand in Nature. Why does this become an extraordinarily dense concept to comprehend when it is applied to the business world of finances and economics?
The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
Frank Zappa
The boldness of the State to fund these mega corporations is limitless. Essentially what they are doing is arbitrarily deciding which business should thrive and which should collapse. I would assume this decision would be made on the grounds of self-preservation and self-interest of the State. The corporations chosen to benefit the State the most will be showered with subsidies, tax breaks, favorable legislation, and bailouts at the direct expense of the taxpayer, small business owner, and all savers. The collusion of the State and the mega corporations/large financial institutions it supports is wretched to its core! Capitalism is not to blame. It is because of the mutant crony capitalism today that people have grown to feel intense hatred for the essence of true Capitalism, which is fundamentally just the voluntary exchange of goods and services for other goods and services completely divorced from all governmental intervention. More aptly put, it is voluntary anarchy or Anarcho-Capitalism.
There is no worse tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not want, merely because you think it would be good for him.”
Robert Heinlein
Opt out of the system in any way you can. Tell your friends, family, and anyone you hold to be most dear to do the same. Write about it on your social media sites, post blogs about it, and speak it from the mountaintops! No longer must we live in trembling fear of what our oppressors might do to us! Live your own life and claim your individual sovereignty in every sense of the phrase. We are not subjects to be monitored, economic slaves to be milked, chattel to be claimed, or sheep to be herded according to the capricious whims of merciless overlords. Renounce the legitimacy of the State and it will cease to have power. Its authority is primarily derived from consent and acquiescence of the governed. We are its milk and honey, the nourishment for its propagation. Remove the nourishment and its illusory essence is exposed and naked. The notion that humanity needs the State in order to function and live peaceably is one of the oldest and most dangerous of superstitious lies that have been faithfully passed down throughout the generations as if being a proud family heirloom. The extent that this putrid ill begotten bastard notion has poisoned the human psyche is tragic and reprehensible and fundamentally indicative of the ease of manipulating the masses into docile submission.
Liberty will not descend to a people, a people must raise themselves to liberty.”
Emma Goldman
You say you are happy and do not wish to “stir the pot”? I ask you, how many sovereign rights will you allow them to fraudulently take from you before you say “No more! I am a sovereign human being with sovereign inalienable rights and they are not for the taking!”? Assume the self-respect and dignity necessary before this task slips from the improbable to the impossible.
The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it.”
John Hay
We must protest everything “compulsory” regarding government which includes education, healthcare, taxation etc. We must de-legitimize and nullify its power! It has no power! We give it all the power! It is a hollow entity that does not exist in its own right. We can destroy it and free ourselves anytime we wish. However first in order to do so we must understand the nature of our own slavery.
The limitation of tyrants is the endurance of those they oppose.”
Frederick Douglas
Here is an excellent John Stossel 11-minute piece on, what’s known as, the “Tragedy of the Commons”. This dictates that a public property will necessarily plunge into decay and be subjected to massive societal exploitation due to its public nature and that private property will always be superior in quality, efficiency, and beauty for the very reason that the owner has an incentive to keep it so. The unfounded principle that sharing produces abundance is finely illustrated in the fact that the Pilgrims through the “Tragedy of the Commons” concept almost starved to death and that the only abundance that was produced, wherefrom the sharing with the Natives story originated, came from the private stewardship of the land.
Noncooperation with evil is as much a duty as cooperation with good.”

In one way socialism does exist in the basic family structure. We all work for the common good of those we love in our household. This is only natural. However when central planners strive to force this sentiment to larger proportions, such as to society as a whole, fundamental flaws begin to abound. This socialistic relationship is not at the expense of respecting the sovereign inalienable rights to self and property of each family member.
The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime.”
Max Stirner
The whole point of Voluntary Anarchy is that we are all Sovereign individual born with certain inalienable rights that no government can give to us through any piece of paper, such as the Bill of Rights, the US Constitution, Declaration of Independence, nor can any government take them away. To assert that human made laws and statutes can produce any semblance of peace or prosperity is the same as saying “Nature requires laws made by man to function or else all ecosystems will collapse.” To live in a society devoid of the formal institution, known as the State, we have come to believe is necessary is frightening only because through tradition and government indoctrination camps known as public schools they incessantly drill into young impressionistic minds the Statist view. Even Democracy is flawed through and through, unable to be remedied by any noble minded ruler or philosopher king. This is primarily due to the fact that any government, including our beloved democratic government, is not a producing sector of society. Rather it procures it’s sustenance through the systematic pillaging of the fruits of other people’s labor and thrift. It is a parasite on the back of humanity, which without us will simply wither away and die. We can most certainly prosper and thrive without the State. The State is entirely dependent on us. Production always precedes predation therefore criminal gangs, known as government, are the parasites that have historically attached themselves to productive societies in order to suck and drain them dry of their prosperity.
The times call for courage. The times call for hard work. But if the demands are high, it is because the stakes are even higher. They are nothing less than the future of human liberty, which means the future of civilization.”
Henry Hazlitt
No government on Earth composed of a small elite group of imperfect human beings can ever hope to “rule justly” over the throng. Why do we continue to delude ourselves that if only we elect the correct sociopath everything will improve for us, justice will rain on the land, and there will be peace for all? Expecting those that rule us to solve all our problems is the proverbial carrot dangling in front of us that, as long as we maintain this delusion, will always elude us. I do not believe there is such a thing as an incorruptible government. It is a contradiction in terms.
Sending in good men to reform the State is like sending virgins to reform a whorehouse.” Anonymous
Obama is currently seeking a 3rd a third term that would be unconstitutional according to, the US Constitution, the ancient piece of magical paper on which is formed the basis of our “representative government”. This is just another example of the complete disregard and utter contempt our “elected” politicians hold for their subjects. In the end they will do what they please and their limits will be dictated by what the people, through their collective ignorance, allow them to do. This clearly demonstrates the absurdity of such notions as “elected representatives”, “representative democracy”, and “public servants” as serving the will of the people. The master can never become servant to the slave, for if he does he is clearly no longer the master, but an equal. Giving god-like power to any one person or small group of people will immediately invite corruption, abuse, exploitation, and inevitable murder of the masses as that power is steadily increased to the point of totalitarianism if assassination or overthrow of the regime does not come first.
There comes a time when a moral man can’t obey a law which his conscience tells him is unjust.”
Martin Luther King
It is the duty of the State to fabricate its own demand. It is a self licking ice cream cone. It employs the circular and thoroughly illogical argument that we should obey the law because the law is written as such. Once this is realized the illusion is revealed for what it is, an old man behind the scenes pulling the strings from which emerges smoke and flashing lights that do nothing in the real world but strive to inspire fear and intimidation in the hearts of men. Only children are afraid of ghosts in the closet and monsters under the bed, so why does this fallacy persist? What does that say about the mental state of adult Statists?
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
Plato
Here is an excellent 5-minute video blowing the myth of the evils of sweatshops right out of the water! The argument here is similar to that of why the minimum wage law produces more unemployment, layoffs, crime, and violence. Sweatshops, although largely reviled by society, provide significant employment opportunities to lower skilled workers who would not otherwise be able to earn a wage due to prevailing unjust laws. Although many of these sweatshops function illegally in the sense that they pay their workers lower than the State mandated minimum wage, they nevertheless provide options for the poor of a given nation State that would not otherwise have been available. Getting paid below minimum wage is better than not getting paid at all. Also it must be emphasized that the relationship between the employee and the sweatshop employer is voluntary and mutually beneficial. The employee of a sweatshop is not forced to work there in any sense. On the contrary such employees choose to work there after reaching the conclusion that it is best choice amongst lesser options. Therefore in a very real sense sweatshops do much to lift a given population out of abject poverty and help them to provide for themselves. Oppressive legislation and regulation would only function to hamper such positive benefits. Please let us change this biased vernacular that obviously skews their significant aspects to any listener who is not so initially acquainted.
If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.”
Thomas Jefferson
Please enjoy this wonderfully satirical but entirely accurate 3-minute video on equating the absurdity of “Without government who will build the roads?” to “Without slavery who will pick the cotton?” Just because we have been exploited, pillaged, abused, molested, and robbed by government for centuries still does not make it right or just. It simply illustrates how painfully complacent the people become when their true intellectual faculties have been relaxed to the point of atrophy. Is it such a radical assertion that people should not have a portion of their wealth systematically stolen, be entitled to self-ownership, and be responsible for their own lives? One who disagrees with this should thoroughly examine the socialistic idealism one harbors in the artificial institution of a perfect utopia.
Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.”
“When in the course of human history, it becomes time to free oneself from governmental tyranny, it is necessary to state the reasons for such liberation.
1) All taxation is theft and a violation of individual rights and self-ownership.
2) All laws are tools of enslavement designed to keep us in a mental prison.
3) Voting is a joke and gives no authority for one person or group of people to rule another group.
4) Statism, like all religions, is about submission to authority, not the elevation of one’s own value as a human being.
5) Violence is a barbaric way to control people and should only be used in self-defense.
We are not sheep to be corralled, prodded, and slaughtered. We are free human beings with the rights to self-ownership, self-determination, and self-respect. We declare that we are the owners of this planet and shall treat it and each other with respect and love.
No more wars, no more disease, no more death, no more hatred. Only peace and voluntary cooperation. Amen.”
Happy Birthday Federal Reserve! Yesterday, December 23, 1913 a day that will live in infamy, marked the 100th anniversary of the creation of our beloved Federal Reserve System, the Central Bank of our country. Why is this significant and abominable? Let us examine the ways.
The conclusion then, is, that neither the representatives of a nation, nor the whole nation itself assembled, can validly engage debts beyond what they may pay in their own time.”
Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1789. ME 7:457
Then I say, the earth belongs to each of these generations during its course, fully and in its own right. The second generation receives it clear of the debts and encumbrances of the first, the third of the second, and so on. For if the first could charge it with a debt, then the earth would belong to the dead and not to the living generation. Then, no generation can contract debts greater than may be paid during the course of its own existence.”
Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1789. ME 7:455
Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it … he who doesn’t … pays it.”
Albert Einstein
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and money system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”
Now, that is what Henry Ford wants to prevent. He thinks it is stupid, and so do I, that for the loan of $30,000,000 of their own money the people of the United States should be compelled to pay $66,000,000 — that is what it amounts to, with interest. People who will not turn a shovelful of dirt nor contribute a pound of material will collect more money from the United States than will the people who supply the material and do the work. That is the terrible thing about interest. In all our great bond issues the interest is always greater than the principal. All of the great public works cost more than twice the actual cost, on that account. Under the present system of doing business we simply add 120 to 150 per cent, to the stated cost.”
Thomas Edison
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its credit system. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”
President Woodrow Wilson years after signing the Federal Reserve Act into law
The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than a monarch, more insolent than autocracy and more selfish than a bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies, the Southern Army in front of me and the bankers in the rear. Of the two, the one at the rear is my greatest foe.”
President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War
The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences.”
Carroll Quigley, American historian, theorist of the evolution of civilizations, and author of “Tragedy and Hope”
Haha this 3 minute video about raising the debt ceiling made me literally laugh out loud! Referring to the National Debt, Total Annual Revenue, Deficit Spending, and Annual Budget Cuts in terms of billions or trillions of dollars can have anyone’s head spinning. However when simplified and applied to the finances of an individual household the economic insanity is quite clear. It is unsustainable, societally damaging, and must come to an end.
Mike Maloney strikes another golden knockout blow with this 29 minute video of his most latest Episode 4 of the Hidden Secrets of Money: The Biggest Scam in the History of Mankind.
Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men’s protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account, which is not theirs: Watch for the day when it bounces, marked “account overdrawn.”
Ayn Rand
It stipulates in Article 1, Section 10 that “No State shall…coin Money, emit Bills of Credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a Tender in Payment of Debts…” The term “Bills of Credit” refers to any paper fiat currency that is not backed by gold or silver. Our government is allowing unconstitutional and illegal fraud to take place on a daily basis ever since 1913 when the US Economy was hijacked by the Federal Reserve!
The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profits or be so dependent upon its favours that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.”
The Rothschild brothers of London writing to associates in New York, 1863
According to Mike Maloney the US dollar is the “liar’s lie”, meaning it is one of the most inaccurate indicators of economic vitality that exists. Incidentally that applies to all fiat currencies across the board. Rather in order to ascertain the true value of anything one must compare it to the price of commodities, most notably precious metals. Therefore regardless if the DOW is measured in an oz of gold, barrel of oil, bushel of wheat, lb of copper etc the result is the same. It is hopelessly plummeting in value in relation to these. However just looking at it from a purely Federal Reserve Note perspective it’s pushing to all time highs!
The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent.”
John Kenneth Galbraith (1908- ), former professor of economics at Harvard, writing in ‘Money: Whence it came, where it went’ (1975).
The Federal Reserve cannot maintain this facade of stable prices for very long with $85 billion/month being printed. The “smart money” of billionaires are already exiting the stock market and heading into hard assets. Unfortunately the “dumb money” of the masses is always lagging hopelessly behind like a dog chasing the tires of yesterday’s news.
This is a good article explaining the history of fractional reserve banking, central banks, the landmark case of The First National Bank of Montgomery vs. Jerome Daly (1969), and how paper money came to be accepted by the people. I would, however, be careful regarding her proposed State imposed solution of government fiat currency printing. No law can forcibly create peace, prosperity, or wealth. This can only occur through willing individuals engaged in peaceful and voluntary trade.
The Jerome Daly case is notable in that it was the first time that it was admitted in a court of “law” that banks create currency out of thin air the moment the borrower signs the loan document. Not only is it created out of thin air but it is to be paid back with the application of usurious interest. Therefore Mr. Daly correctly surmised that since the bank never had the money to “lend” as collateral in the first place, how can the bank ever claim to own the property should the “borrower” default on his pretended loan? The answer is the banks have no legitimate right to own any property, since this process completely violates the true definition of the word “lend”. If I need to borrow a shovel it would make sense that I need to obtain it from someone who has a shovel to lend me. A paper shovel contract simply will not do. Furthermore if you have a shovel and lend that shovel to me, would it make sense to ask me to repay you with two shovels? From where did the second shovel come into existence? If it was borrowed from someone else who also lent his shovel with interest one can understand how this system would rapidly fall apart as the mounting debt would quickly become massive and unsustainable due to the concept of compounding interest.
A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain.”
Mark Twain
A similar process occurs at the federal level when the US government borrows currency into existence from the Federal Reserve. This process has many names such as currency creation, the Mandrake Mechanism, Quantitative Easing, bond/asset purchases etc. They all amount to the same thing, the counterfeiting of currency into existence at the direct benefit of those who issue it and at the direct harm to those who have their savings in currency. Furthermore if only the principal portion of all loans is created as currency and not the interest portion, how can society ever expect to pay back all these loans? The truth is it cannot, and this is the painful reality and Achilles heel of our monetary system, which is only recently beginning to show itself. It is a self-perpetuating debt spiral that can only sustain itself with the creation of ever more debt. Once the people realize this and stop borrowing currency into existence the entire house of cards crumbles into itself in a fantastic deflationary collapse. It is an endgame that has been pre-ordained since the whole deception began.
This Wealth Transfer has the ability to create vast amounts of wealth to those understand this mechanism and destroy vast amounts of wealth to those who remain ignorant. The information is there for anyone to see and understand. In the age of information, ignorance is a choice!
The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title.”
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.”
Hahaha here is a hilarious 4 minute video on the 12 banned items by the TSA for Christmas. It’s nice to know that our Federal Government is using our hard earned tax money wisely by giving these nice incompetent people a job. We should feel grateful for the sexual molestations and occasional theft that occurs in the name of the “War on Terror”. All in an honest day’s work!
Here is a hilarious yet on point 2 minute video on the abuses we all directly face with the NSA’s immoral and unjust criminal activities. Stop funding these criminals with your tax dollars! Stop committing tax financed murder overseas! Just ignore the State and it will go away!
Here is a funny 2 minute cartoon video on Season’s Greeting from Spying Claus. This is a special message from your neighborhood magical, morbidly obese, diabetic, mythical, peeping tom philanthropist.
Here is a fascinating 8 minute Stefan Molyneux examination on the importance of teaching one’s children the truth about the world, or at least one’s understanding of the truth, let alone not lying to them with a mythical quasi NSA figure such as Santa Claus that “sees us when we’re sleeping, knows when we’re awake, and knows if we’ve been bad or good.”
Others argue “Believing in Santa Claus gives kids a sense of wonder about the world.” Is it necessary to lie to our children in order to provide them with a sense of wonder? I do believe that there is enough uncertainty and mystique we can glean from attempting to teach our children about the real world, let alone deceiving them with a tale that abandons all reason for the sake of one day.
Our children are born as foreigners in a strange land. They know nothing about prison, pain, flowers, toys, crime etc. They trust us, as the authority figures, to provide them with the truth about the world. If we deceive them with falsehoods, what does that speak about our credibility? Be truthful with your children. They deserve nothing less. The truth does not hurt. The truth is beautiful, wondrous, and inherently magical.
I am quite proud to present to you a most beautiful 22-minute video by the brilliantly articulate Canadian Anarcho-Capitalist philosopher Stefan Molyneux. Here he discusses the enormous value in teaching kids, starting in childhood, about property rights and self-ownership. How can we fundamentally make the intellectual changes needed to bring about a society of peaceful and voluntary human beings when parents, as authority figures, constantly teach their children that their bodies are not their property, i.e. spanking, slapping, whipping etc, their freedom is not their property i.e. detention, time out, or grounding, and their possessions are not their property i.e. stealing or withholding them as a form of punishment?
Anyone who conducts an argument by appealing to authority is not using his intelligence; he is just using his memory.”
Leonardo Da Vinci
Children must understand the effect of their actions for themselves without parental coercion and punishment, which incidentally, sets the stage for a subservient and docile adult citizenry. Children are constantly reminded by their parents that their bodies and their possessions, although given as gifts, are not their own and that both can be readily taken away if they have done something to elicit anger or disapproval from their parents, the authority figures. When one unconditionally gives a gift to another person one does not expect anything in return, to do so would be more aptly described as a trade in which one person has defaulted on their contractual obligations. Unconditional gift giving implies the surrendering of all ties to that gift. This is true regardless if the gift is given to an adult or to a child. If the child wishes to destroy or vandalize their gift it is their property and they may do with it what they wish. Perhaps upon destroying the gift, it might not be replaced within a reasonable amount of time, but that is the consequence which the child must come to understand.
Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.”
Frederick Douglas
This unilateral coercive conditioning directly translates to our public school, universities, and adulthood. In our public schools there is a daily violation of our children’s sovereign inalienable rights when they are forced to go to an institution against their will, memorize information against their will, and are thereafter punished for refusing to comply. In universities one may argue “Well that is voluntary, isn’t it? I chose to go to a college or university.” Upon closer inspection here as well young adults are indirectly “forced” to attend as result of the all encompassing State regulation of a multitude of professions through their oppressive permits, certificates, and licensure. In order to attend they must pay the outrageously arbitrary tuition fees that far surpass any other inflation price increases in the market, as is only natural when an institution is State subsudized. If they cannot afford it they must accept loans, most often federal, and thereafter be secured as economic debt slaves. They must obey their professors and learn what is deemed necessary for them to learn, disapproval of which would result in an inability to graduate and receive the piece of paper with fancy calligraphical writing that signifies the conclusion of one’s indoctrination in the chosen State approved profession.
By adulthood it is clearly ingrained on a profound level that we are all slaves to the State, which is our master. The State owns 100% of our wages, an arbitrary 1/3 of which goes directly to the coffers of the State and the rest is given back to us a gift so that we may live. The State owns our homes and we are all temporary renters. Even those who proudly claim “I own my home because I paid off my mortgage.” The translation of this would be “I own my home because I paid off the immoral pretend loan plus the unjust usury that my financial institution created for me on the spot when I signed the contract, of which the financial institution offered no risky collateral and I assumed all the risk.” Thus even after decades of working to pay off this pretend loan, we are slapped in the face when we discover that, through property taxes we are STILL renting our “fully paid” homes to the State. Should we default on our property taxes the State will open up a can of fascism on us by moving to place a lien on our home, evict us, and foreclose on our “fully paid” home. Therefore if we do anything to anger or arouse the disapproval of the State or its minion law enforcers, the Police, our “property” will be duly confiscated i.e. wages, real estate, cars etc or our false right to “self-ownership” will be violated i.e. thrown into a cage, tortured etc.
No tendency is quite so strong in human nature as the desire to lay down rules of conduct for other people.” President William Howard Taft
There are a dwindling few places on Earth where human beings are allowed to be truly free. We are not free human beings. We are free-range chattel, that within the confines of the State we are allowed to choose our profession through which to better serve and increase our productivity to the mighty State.
Anarchists are the real hard-nosed realists. People who have this fixation on some ideal government, which isn’t fundamentally just a criminal gang with flags, are the starry eyed dreamers without a firm grasp on reality.”
Brad Spangler
All this indoctrination and conditioning would prove to be most onerous were it not for its early adoption in the family structure through the establishment that “I am the parent. I am in charge. You must obey me or you will suffer dire punishment.” Incidentally many parents have the approach “When you live under my roof you obey my rules. Once you leave you can do as you like.” This is not altogether accurate either. Whether it is in the violent parenting family structure, forcefully obedient university setting, or rigidly conforming State setting there is always an authority one is expected to cower in unrelenting prostration. The expectation of obedience does not end. The State fundamentally relies on the groundwork of obedience laid by the violent parenting structure.
We do not have rights; rather we have privileges and immunities as granted us through the benevolent 14th amendment.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States”
14thAmendment of the US Constitution
Pay careful attention to the wording, “privileges or immunities”. These are not the same as “rights”, which are inalienable, intrinsic, and sovereign. We are all born with rights, which cannot be granted nor revoked by any government. Privileges are just that, privileges by a higher power. They can be altered or revoked at a whim by those in power for any reason. The notion that we are immune from State obligations, services or taxation duties is farcical indeed in this post 9/11 world of the Patriot Act, NDAA, surveillance state, perpetual warfare, and 923 Obama executive orders. Understand the nature of your enslavement. Assert the sovereign rights we all possess and cower to no one!
Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road.”
Voltaire
Therefore one of the best ways to create a society of well-informed people is by respecting the property rights and right to self-ownership of our children. When the young people grow up with a healthy sense of sovereignty and empowerment, they will accept the authority of no one who endeavors to trample and infringe upon those rights.
Wonderful! Check out this amazing 6 minute video on the contemptible religion we have all bought into known as Statism and how we can all be finally free of it. Just like any religion is fear and faith based. It requires our undisputable loyalty, without which it vanishes into the ether.
Whenever you find yourself in the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
