Sup, DoGs!

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/may/14/ron-paul-ends-his-hunt-votes/ I didn’t get a chance to vote for anyone that I wanted. They all dropped out before the primary in my state. So I decided to gripe about it to the party, that the primary in my state is held too late to make any difference, and got this page: http://rpk.org/contact-us/ It’s a 404. Time to switch parties.

To the Republican Party of Kentucky Chairman Steve Robertson, Please change the date of the Republican party primary election in Kentucky. Today, the last Republican primary candidate for president dropped out of the race, eight days before the primary election, leaving a single presidential candidate actively running, with several others listed on the ballot who have since dropped out of the race. Kentucky had no say in who the front runner for president would be thanks to the lateness of the Kentucky election in the campaign process. Regardless of what other states or parties say, the Republican party can choose its own date for their own election.

There are now no multiple choices presented for any of the offices in my district, and the candidates for those offices run unopposed in the primary election. The lack of action on the part of the Kentucky party in searching for candidates that represent conservative principles and in avoiding any participation in the presidential primary candidate selection process requires Republican voters to seek representation elsewhere.

I plan to leave the party after the primary election until the Republican party returns to those principles and chooses to become involved in the presidential candidate selection process earlier in the year. I have been a registered Republican and have voted for Republicans in every single election since the 2000 primary, but I cannot continue to support the Republican party after these failures in representation and participation.

Thank you for your time and attention, -[ClearMancer]

Because I want my vote to be counted with someone, since the Libertarians aren’t participating in the primary anyway, I’m going to vote in the primary and retain my party registration. On the way out of the polling place, I’m going to pick up a registration card and switch to the Libertarian party. Now, I still have a problem with the Libertarian party, because they are not anarcho-capitalist. They are conservative at best—they want to leave the government in place with rules to “protect” libertarian principles, but in fact result in a continuation of all of the old coercion of the world’s biggest businesses—governments. All of the syndicalists and socialist businesses will remain in power, with none of the benefits of freedom exercised to their potential, whereupon all of the commies will claim that freedom was a mistake from the beginning, and then they’ll return to power and humanity will never have a chance at freedom again (not that we ever had it in the first place). (I don’t have a problem with big businesses like Rothbard does—I just have a problem with ones intermingled with government. I don’t think they’d last long without the support of governments, so I don’t really have to oppose them at all—just pick a better company out of the ones that appear because repressive regulation is gone).

No, the party that I really want is one that exists only as decentralized saboteur legislators, one that goes in only to dismantle government from the inside-out, returning as much of what was stolen as remains. I’d like someone to create that party. Maybe call it the “DoG” party—Discontinuity of Government party. That would probably be pretty expensive to build, though. I don’t know if the establishment would even allow it to exist, or if they would sue and fine the people into submission due to breaches of the very laws that allow them to continue their oppression. They’d probably just label it an insurgent group of radicals and jail everyone to silence them. I’ve got better things to do anyway, since such an effort would be ignored by the status quo people.

I checked out the qualifications for different offices in Kentucky. It confirms what I already know—the status quo seeks to protect itself. They ban anyone under certain ages from participating in their monopoly of power, because if there was some teen pop singer, you’ve got to know that they would kick the butts of the grays. They are corrupt, “good” old “boys”—their power derives from whispers, pork, clandestine promises and kickbacks. You get Yimmy Stuart in there and it messes with all of the decorum and hollow ritual that covers their dirty deeds. What they are doing is also age discrimination (Kentucky and other states never ceased to be slave states (the chains just changed hands to the states), so it should be expected) supposedly in the name of experience, but really to keep out anyone with the advantage of talent, good looks, energy, and personality…someone like me! People wonder why those under the age of geezer don’t vote—it’s partly because they have no peer representation. The shuffling medicated corpses do get the zombie vote (another over-represented group that deserves disenfranchisement, but instead they get in line repeatedly and fraud the vote in favor of those held in place by their staleness), but they don’t get the vote of those not born in the 1840s. I want to vote for someone who will abolish the age limits on voting. What I really want is for people to vote for themselves and to vote with their wallets for the stuff that they personally will use.

Compliance is Easy

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2012/05/13/148607/hefty-salaries-perks-for-union.html I’m linking this as an example to cite from in future mention of unions and their government alliances. I don’t care how much they’re paid, and I actually like the fact that they are tax-exempt—I just want the same treatment for profit-based companies. Non-profits and governments are the same as any other businesses—they gather their money in a different way, namely coercion. They probably wouldn’t last in a free market, so they resort to the use of stealing through budgetary and policing maneuvers.

Chinabalism, Eyeballism, and Rustlism

I don’t care who wants to watch me, and I know that what is coming next is actions stopping me from doing things, but I don’t care. Stopping people from having tech ensures that someone else will have it and will be the one to use it wrongfully, with no way of countering it with your own advanced tech. The wrongful application of tech is happening right this second with the government monopoly on granting permission for others to use tech. It can be stopped by defunding the government and by setting up Atlantis, so we can escape from the Kim Jung Ils and the King George IIIs of this world.

Pre-Flight Sickness

http://www.infowars.com/rand-paul-launches-campaign-to-end-the-tsa/ I don’t agree with the hype over privacy and the lack of security for innocent people. Those people could have suffered the injustice of being denied a mutually-agreed upon flight instead of the injustice of being sexually violated and publicly embarrassed. Or you know, not suffer injustice at all and fly their own plane and get shot down by anti-air cannons mounted on skyscrapers if they try to pull a 9/11. The violated people are innocent, but they can be tools of the evil ones who want to weaponize them, but having the government do it is coercive and results in poor quality security and customer interaction anyway. I also don’t agree with Rand Paul that the government should be sent back only to steal from others—they should be stopped in every arena of theft. What I do agree with Paul about is that the government should be ousted from this area, but he still doesn’t say that they should be out of it completely, as in, no private options are mandated, no government presence in airports or in flight regulation. The FAA and Air Force, as well as government mandates for unions, should end immediately; if I want to fly a fighter jet to take out murderers, I’ll save up my pocket change and buy one from a vending machine. I don’t need or want the government to do it for me or for anyone else.

The government is just a big organization with a different way of doing business than other companies. They stink at what they do; it’s time to fire the whole company and either hire someone else, or DIY.

Magnet Regions and Weapons of the State

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/fbi-informant-shaquille-azir-756123 Notice how the authorities and the writers both frequently use “anarchist” to describe the bad guy. If it’s any other miscreant, you do not hear their political agenda being described as the key motive. You don’t hear about the Islamists or socialist gangs being labeled as such, you only hear a rundown of the activities. Same with the communist vandal mobs on May Day. The reason they want to label these people as anarchists first, and bombers second is because anarchism is in opposition to statism. Equate anarchism with bombing, and boom, you’ve persuaded people that statism and security are synonymous. These bombers are the state’s best weapons.

Anarchism is a broad term by any credible source for a wide range of non-statist political alignments. I believe that real anarchism is synonymous with voluntarianism, which means all interactions should be voluntary. Both terms have been co-opted and used by the greater numbers of communists, and so the terms are most frequently associated with antiestablishmentarianist communists. I do not believe communism can co-exist with voluntarianism and anarchy at any scale. People will always try to practice anarcho-communism in hippie communes or their families at the very least, but that does not mean that it is anarchy, merely a misapplication of the label on coercive, even if peaceful, relationships. Non-hippie commune communism is coercive, based on people saying one shouldn’t have more than the other, and if they do, it should be taken from them by force. The old philosophy of owning the means of production (in addition to owning everything else) is still the commie modus operandi; the entire philosophy is based on forcible seizure and theft, as is evidenced by the excuses blaming the fact that less communist states owned more they did as the reason that communism has never ever been successful by their own standards even once. When anarcho-capitalist voluntarianists excuse the reason it hasn’t been successful on a large scale or widely adopted at any scale ever, they can point to the fact that, hey actually it has even on a lesser, watered down by poisonous socialism scale. The very reason why it isn’t adopted on a national scale is because of the limited amount of elements on the earth, held by the monopolies of establishment coercers, and the fact that anarcho-capitalism is a newer concept than the concept of toppling an empire just to rebuild a new one of the same thing except with greater communistic coercion.

When I say anarchism, I’m referring to true anarchism: a non-coercive policy of mutually agreed upon relationships between two or more people. Voluntarianist anarchy is the same reason why there has never been an will never be an anarcho-capitalist revolution, unlike the commies—it goes against the fundamental principles of the doctrine; as soon as you revolt, you are forcing your beliefs on others and are no longer an anarcho-capitalist—then again you could argue that you are just trying to get back what was stolen, which really isn’t the right thing to argue since the coercers should be treated less as reasonable people than predatory obstacles to freedom, predators can’t change what they are, so the best thing is to ignore and avoid them when possible. Hence, Rand’s good Atlantis and Levine’s bad Rapture. Anarchy has been called contractual society by anarchist authors, but that’s hinting at constitutionalism. I’ve been studying constitutionalism since junior high, and have been for it until 2010, when I started realizing conservationism is not synonymous with freedom.

I believe that any theory of governance can exist in pockets if the people involved in it are there voluntarily, and can leave at any time they choose without being tracked down and dragged back. Countries have ambassadors and embassies that can extradite those called criminals in their country of origin. Some countries have safe harbors for fugitives and refugees. Some people are guilty of evil, some are innocent of anything but trying to escape the slavery of their nation. America will not allow people who commit victimless crimes against the state to escape; even the innocent companies who make money overseas must comply with the mercantilist demands of their imperialistic state. Sheesh, look up the definitions of those words and lie to me that they don’t describe what is going on (I just did). The only way out of the American system is to renounce your citizenship, and even then it probably takes several months to get the paperwork out, and they’ll probably still chase you for as much money as they can get from you. The reason I think easy-escape governments are fine is that smart people will realize that things stink in the government they are in and will leave them for the anarchist regions.

Escape is the best option for freedom, building a place from scratch, using your own resources to create what you need to survive and to make the life you want. I don’t think any nation on Earth (or near the orbit of the Sun) can hide for more than an hour today, so I don’t recommend Atlantis as a redoubt against states.

I don’t recommend trying to change the minds of the predators of the states—they have turned themselves into robotic slaves voluntarily and should be left to the fate of their choosing. Do not underestimate the predators—they’re at the top of the food chain for their numbers or their smarts, and in another life would be a different type of thug, working for a slightly less bureaucratic gang. There are plenty of smart people in the states and their co-conspirator organizations—you could argue that making money is the most important thing to an anarcho-capitalist, and so perpetuating the evils of the state for your own enrichment is a good thing, but I would say that it is a breach of the core policy—don’t make other people do stuff they don’t want to do, no matter what.

Petitioning does more good than protests, since really most of the statists are in it for the money, and letters and information translates to money at some point. Protests are stupid—I don’t care what your political alignment is. It is unscientific and its effect is difficult to measure. Petitions are measurable, and can be tracked and double checked to make sure there is no fraud in the numbers. Then again, with a rally it’s harder to cheat in the numbers either—what are you going to, hold up a mannequin and call it a person? It’s not impossible though; crowds are hard to measure, and the counters can lie in both situations, and given their primary purpose is intimidation by shouting and rioting, asking for IDs and background checks isn’t going to happen, especially since most people like their privacy, _especially _if it’s in a public place. There is no reason why the things you do at a rally can’t be done in an email. Both can be ignored, but live protests get news coverage from status-quo friendly news companies, who look up to authorities with power to tell them what to do, and who serve as propagandists for the state. It’s at this point where the practicality versus principle argument takes place. You get people to realize anarchy is good, and statism is bad when you create an anarchical place that will be a magnet for those who desire freedom.

God Damns It

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/thai-editor-faces-20-years-royal-insults-192617257.html Of course, if it’s taking the Lord’s name in vain, it’s a sin. This is because God is the only one who can lay claim to this kind of glory. So it’s untruthful to use His name in a petty manner, because it denies the bigness of who He is. Hence, showing disrespect to the divine God is a _completely _different situation. God only knows if I’m being sarcastic or not, and whether or not Jesus will take the heat for it. :|

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/EU_RUSSIA_CHURCH_VS_PROTESTERS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2012-04-29-12-01-33 Some Christians are pacifists, some are not. The Brutal Christians (other people might have used this phrase before, but I thought it up without hearing others use it before; if you haven’t seen it, it’s new to you) are Christians that 1. Try to continue the militaristic era of the Israelites, the Crusades, and the coming militaristic return of Christ 2. Try to bring about a new era of theocracy that has not been seen since the days of the first pilgrims and 3. Are harsh towards anyone that defies their will (including children, spouses, and especially sinners with no intent to convert; those that do not line up with their doctrines but are harsh in their treatment of others will be treated with greater leniency, as long as they submit to the will of the harsher ones).

Think the Godfather mixed with office politics. A slow-moving, pyramidal, inescapable society, kind of like the Mormons mixed with the Islamists but without the occult elements. The thing that drives this way of life is the belief in a God that operates in a similar manner. Where I differ from most people, if not all, is that I believe that God is a brutal, wicked God, but that I cannot bring my self to believe that that is how I should behave, that His commands are not the true path of righteousness. Other Christians have said that we have no reason not to believe God is telling the truth. They say that God is truth, and is all-knowing, and thus even though it completely flies in the face of all logic, He knows best. There must be a point in reality where logic comes unraveled and is put back together into the dark perspective of our omniscient God.

The preacher at our church said that in the days that Israel had no king, and people did what was right in their own eyes was a period of suffering and evil. They had a king the entire time, God, but they ignored his commands. The preacher said God must have felt as though the people didn’t want Him to be king. God wanted a prophet and priest caste to be rulers of the people. The thing that the preacher left out was that even though people did what was right in their own eyes, it wasn’t the right thing to do—and it wasn’t really an anarchic or non-coercive society (wars that were started over non-consensual sexual contact and murder), it was a tribal one. Judges was a dirty, contaminated test of self-determination from the start. Good grief, the preacher didn’t even mention whether the war was justified or not (I’m sure the Brutal Christians would of course say it was). Our church is dovish, and has an optimistic perspective of God and a pessimistic perspective of humanity—tough love for sinners. There are also Christians within our church that believe in Dinner Plate Jesus, who 1. justify God’s actions for Him (not exclusive to this set of doctrines) 2. Are optimistic about God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit (that the Trinity is friendly and peaceful) 3. Believe in the divine Trinity 4. Wear Christ as an kitschy accessory rather than a way of life. http://i.ebayimg.com/t/VINTAGE-JESUS-WALL-HANGING-HOUSE-BLESSING-PLATE-MADE-JAPAN-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/$(KGrHqRHJCIE7z!mKVGzBPI0L71nMw~~60_57.JPG I really wish Jesus were as nice as the Dinner Plate Jesus Christians make Him out to be, but I know from Scripture it isn’t true.

Oh, yeah, the article. Those people aren’t in any of these categories. They’re a bunch of political nuts, each bent on trying to out-control the others. I’d say give peace a chance, but I know that phrase was started by hippie commies.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0412/75659.html Ha. A company stands up to a bigger company. The FCC is just another big business—the only difference is that they are un-impugn-able thanks to their alliances with other giant unstoppable forces with infinite supplies of money stolen from unwilling taxpayers. People that try to put businesses on an equal level of unethicality are probably anarcho-syndical-egalitarianists, who hate anyone who makes more money or has more power than they do; they don’t really want to put people on an equal footing, as the unions demonstrate by having rich old people who have gotten there by playing office politics and making strategic alliances their entire careers, and not really earning it by their work. The same thing goes on in normal businesses to be certain, in big and wealthy companies, and possibly to no less of a degree than in unions. But I really don’t want to fund those people, and certainly do not want to give them more power. I want to invest in myself, people worthy of funding, and by buying stuff that I want.

http://freebeacon.com/dreamworks-nightmare/ That said, I like Dreamworks, and Katzenberg has been in charge while great movies have been made, and made it possible through his own funding, but sheesh has he done a bad thing by funding dictators.

Oh, and also I have a rhetorical question that I should really be researching on my own: why don’t people move to rich countries—why aren’t countries like Monaco, Luxembourg, and Switzerland seeing a skyrocketing immigrant population?

Hell exists, but I’m not happy about it, and I don’t think it should. I believe God and hell exist (and that hell is an eternal jail without purgatory), that God is wicked, and that hell is not justified in every case (possibly not in any—talion reparation fixes nothing, and only causes another wrong; crimes that deprive a person can be fixed by restoring something to a person, and on a supernatural level, since there is life after death, among other resources; there is a place for evil people, just not with good people). I’m a Christian, but that I’m not doing everything I am required to do to get into heaven and get heaven bonus goodies (which would be a lot of extreme stuff that would be such a betrayal of principle to me that I would not want to be in heaven as a reward for those things). I do not believe that everything in the Biblical Law is a good idea, but that it is indeed required. I regard Biblical Law like the IRS regards those who defy governmental tax laws—it is a matter of mechanical, detached procedure, where there are only practical consequences defined by a faceless line of text, and not by morality or truth. My understanding is that we have insufficient information, that there is somehow a flaw in our logic that makes us unable to figure out what kind of crazy excuse God has for hell. I wonder if He even made hell, and for some reason people decide to go there after they’re dead. Maybe it’s because there’s no place else for them to go in the universe. Maybe it’s a physical place for soul-beings that they can’t get out of, or that their presence outside of their natural habitat of heaven and earth makes it into a hell.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/04/19/palin_on_secret_service_scandal_its_a_symptom_of_government_run_amok.html I don’t have a problem with people that don’t obey the system—I have a problem with people that do.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304331204577354331959335276.html Drones never should have been restricted in the first place—same with other person-occupied aircraft. It’s not “public” airspace that can only be regulated by oligarchy—it belongs to no one, it is not theirs to decide. It doesn’t need to be shared, because there is a lot of it.

I don’t really care about privacy, just what people do with the information. You can watch me watching T.V., just don’t try to use it to steal my T.V., or arrest me for watching T.V..

We’ve had the flying car since the Wright brothers, but the government has insisted that it owns everything from the depths of the earth where jet fuel comes from, to the ground that aircraft take off from, to the air itself, to orbital satellite space, and even to outer space (quite a few flags on the moon now). The government has no problem with seizing these things for their exclusive use, but if a citizen tries to do the same thing, they are punished and robbed (not to say that they not punished and robbed even if they do not do those things). There is no place safe from their seizures.

Since we live on the only planet I know of with breathable air, we are in a pie—a seemingly finite resource in a seemingly infinite universe (there are apparently finite amounts of certain elements like tellurium). This is partly God’s fault for making it such, since He could have just as easily have given us an infinite exotropic multiverse so we wouldn’t have to figure out how to divvy up things (which isn’t necessary today, and will not be until several tens of thousands of years (if God waits that long for the Rapture)). We’ve got to figure out how to get to the final frontier—other livable planets, and within my lifetime, because I should never have been forced to live with aggressive thieves in the first place.

All I want is to use my own resources, only restricted in my use of them by what others choose to set the price of, and to be able to freely buy whatever I want if I have the money. You know, I would probably be in trouble if the world really was anarcho-capitalistic, because I am not that strong, smart, healthy, skilled, or hard-working—but I would be much happier with those circumstances, because at least I would have the chance to make use of the talents I do have, so really life would be easier for me, because I am able to survive in a slave state, so imagine how well I would do without oppression. People would have been able to find a cure for the diseases, and cheaper and more effective treatments, thanks to the rich people who paid to be cured of it themselves.

People are limited in what they can physically and mentally do (but things would be better than what we’ve got right now at any rate), just because of the physical construct of time and space. You can only do so much with a box of wooden blocks, but people have managed to reject whatever artificial constraints are on them and make unexpected things. We have more than we think we do, but are limited in ability still. I shouldn’t be letting others decide what I can and can’t do anyway—I am the most credible expert on myself in the world, aside from God and other supernatural beings. The world is a big place, there are some rich people in spite of the governments’ best efforts, and there are places that people do not want to be in because the environs are too harsh for them and there aren’t the resources that they need. People will not want to attack me there, at least not until they realize that I have created something that they want.

The government only cares about people with things that they want, and people hostile to them. If you commit suicide, they don’t care; if you commit suicide and burn a pile of money that was all that you had, they still don’t care—there are six billion other people and a world full of resources to steal from. If you commit homicide, that’s a problem, but really not so much to them aside from being a PR piece for why they should get more money and power. In fact, mass homicide is the best friend of the government—every government ever has used it or the threat of it to get what they want in war. The only time I can even think of justifying war is when it is against bigger and more coercive people (governments always say that they are the real good guys, when really they’re just a smaller or less coercive version of the bad guys). That’s why I say war is good, because like in Syria, it’s the bad guys versus the bad guys, with slightly less bad guys or potential bad guys caught in the cross-fire. The best thing for everyone is for a war to get worse, bloodier, and more expensive. But I don’t want to get hurt, even if I don’t care of others get hurt, which is why I don’t want to hurt anyone (that, and it’s really hard to ever excuse violence). Soldiers can excuse themselves for a million reasons, but at the end of the day (and at every other time), violence is coercion. I wouldn’t say give peace a chance, because people will always take advantage of you and steal from you if you do not guard yourself passively and actively. I say actively because any vault is breakable. I do not say go chase someone down who might hurt you, but someone who is definitely going to hurt you and steal from you. CIA and FBI types are okay, but when they start arresting “suspicious” people and making people miserable for a long time in court (not GITMO types, the actual people doing the legal stuff and everyone covering it), it’s not a good thing. I’m saying all of this because I want to say what I really think should happen (privatization of the empire, and non-violent reparation and re-seizure of stolen property by the government, by any means of Ocean’s Eleven skulduggery necessary—heaven knows the government does that all the time anyway, which I’m not opposed to, just the result of it), but I’m not willing to fund or do any of it myself for fear of governmental retaliation, which is just what China and the DHS fatty-fat leader is counting on—passive aggressive suppression of resistance.

In which case, the best option is to live under a rock (a secret rock) in a spartan manner—which I can’t really see as being better than the slavery option. The problem is that I need something that society has—technology (which can exist perfectly well without any dictators, unlike the current situation; and no, commie union pyramid centralist morons, private companies whatever their size are not bad, only their accepting of the governments’ money stolen from people that keep them under the governments’ heels). I see obstacles like comfort and survival, and I can’t get past them; how can I be self-sufficient (not living in even a hippie commune, but completely away from everyone permanently) without it being worse than government slavery due to the amount of time and effort it takes to research and establish a location? The government is counting on your conditioning to think of them as the provider of your survival, and the knowledge that they will allow no alternate without their presence, so I don’t say this to discourage independence. I don’t know…but there are probably others out there with the motivation and ability to do so—they escaped, maybe I can too. And I know just how to do it…flies off on a drone to some place that Survivorman stayed at.
