Enlightened insights taken from the past week’s reading:
"Perhaps the most annoying thing about all the melodramatic garment-rending over how close the US Capitol came to being taken over by violent extremists is that the US Capitol has been under the control of violent extremists for a very long time already.
For all the fretting everyone has been doing about fascists and white supremacist groups, those are not the violent extremists posing the greatest threat and amassing the highest body count today. Neither are the communists. Neither are the anarchists. Neither are the radicalized Muslims, nor the fundamentalist Christians, nor the environmentalists, nor the incels. No, the most dangerous and deadly group of violent extremists in our day are adherents of the mainstream status quo politics of the US-centralized power alliance."

"An ocean of consciousness turns stagnant if it isn’t EXPRESSED. CREATIVELY.
Just as freedom turns sour.
Just as an individual, decaying from the inside, decides to wave the flag of realism and say we’re all made out of atoms and we’re all doomed. Because he wants to make “the smart choice,” as if we’re operating a contest and the winner gets a new car. There are no points and scoreboards when we’re talking about infinity.
Neither is endless consciousness a placid summer sea on which you float on your back, while you wait for the big ship of Cheese to come along and pull you into a giant collective glob with all other souls.
Consciousness wants the electricity and dynamo of endless creating.
That Force which everyone has felt at one moment or another and then tried to kill off.
It doesn’t die.
And that’s today’s news. And tomorrow’s, too.
And that’s the reason behind the reason I’ve been exposing the machinations of the medical cartel for the past 40 years. By attacking and poisoning and altering the body and brain, they’re in essence attempting to cut people off from the connection to their own dynamic consciousness. And turn them into 'REALISTS'.

"The state cares nothing about any of you. It cares nothing about your well-being or health. It cares nothing about your children or grandchildren. It cares nothing about your freedom and rights, and in fact It has no compassion whatsoever for the people of this country. It is never interested in good, but only evil. None are exempt from the coming carnage unless they sit at the top of the pyramid, and voting or reform will never change anything except to bring false hope and despair while perpetuating the tyranny. Disobey, dissent, and take all power away from the wicked state. Understand what power brings, and lay siege on all that would claim ownership of it in any attempt to rule over you."
Gary D. Barnett
"The 'United States of America' was never a consolidated unitary nation but was from the beginning, from colonial times, a disparate collection of ethnocultural and ethnoreligious peoples of different beliefs, backgrounds, and values. The Framers recognized this. The US Constitution created a decentralized federal republic of independent sovereign states who delegated explicit powers to the general government, reserving the bulk of their powers to the states and local governments. Their intention was never to create a ubiquitous European-style centralized nation-state, a leviathan with unrestrained tyrannical reach and power."
Charles Burris
"Collectivist systems, whether they are called democracy, socialism, communism or fascism, are philosophies of envy. When one sees something another has and decides he wants it, rather than earn it on his own merits he wants the power of government to take it and either give it to him or redistribute it to the masses. Often the collectivist doesn't want that something for himself as much as he doesn't want someone else to have it.
Collectivism is also a philosophy of racism, weakness, ineptitude. It assumes one gained what one has by way of special privilege not afforded everyone if they are of a different race or creed or social standing, and that one cannot obtain a thing or advance economically without the assistance of government or the collective.
It is a disguised system of stealing the wealth and production of the producers of wealth with spurious laws under the legitimacy of the vote.
Stealing or taking from producers and transferring it to nonproducers is very sophisticated and concealed class warfare. The truth goes deeper. The masses are being taught to parasite on government force and socialism to subvert those they envy and wish to imitate and are, therefore, surrendering their liberties for something grander — seemingly better. But how can there be anything better than total liberty?"
Bob Livingston
"Yes, the Constitution is a good rallying point for the goofy times we live in, a better document than what popular culture could conjure today, but if the best we can do is a document that has helped bring about the injustice and terror of the present (which is what the Constitution is constantly used for), then we have a pretty impoverished view of human potential and have quite a dim future ahead of us indeed.
Thankfully, so much more is possible and so many realize so much more is possible in their own lives, regardless of what a bureaucrat or judge say the Constitution means."
Alan Stevo
"Black and brown people invaded each other's lands and enslaved their neighbors for thousands of years before white people ever showed up on the scene, but that's all forgotten in the bizarre justifications of critical race theorists. Why are white people the only people that are supposed to pay reparations when the whole world has been killing each other for land and resources since the beginning of recorded history?
Frankly, if your ancestors lost a bunch of land centuries ago to colonists, then perhaps they should have fought harder for it. You don't get to suddenly wave your hand and magically claim it back through government-enforced imminent domain just because your ancestors sucked at self-defense and you feel jilted by a thin association. Go back in time and tell your great-great-great-grandparents to 'get good'."
Brandon Smith
"My initial response to such hesitancy is to point out that a strong, national government makes us more vulnerable to attack and invasion. The state serves not as a shield that protects us, but a jugular vein that provides others with a central target to be subdued. If men and women have been foolish enough to identify themselves with a nation-state, such attachments make it easy for their governments to transfer their compliant herds to another power. Consider how easily Hitler and Stalin were able – in some cases within a matter of days – to subdue neighboring lands, acquiring in the processes of surrender people already well-trained in the duties of obedience."
Butler Shaffer
"Socialism, we should not forget, claimed to be a better means of making society more industrious and prosperous. When Lenin took over Russia after the Bolshevik Revolution, he prioritized the electrification of the country. That delusion that government could do a better job than private enterprise persisted all the way to the 1950s, when Nikita Krushchev assured the world that Soviet industry would outperform the US.
No, the Faucian vision is something else entirely. It is state-enforced primitivism lorded over by a technocratic elite that keeps the population in permanent lockdown. Life as we knew it in July 2020 (in most parts of the country) would be just the beginning. We were intended to stay huddled in small homes, dependent on government, living on laptops, avoiding all congregate settings, and living in fear of diseases forever, while awaiting our next instructions from the great man who 'follows the science'."
Jeffrey Tucker
"If there is voter suppression in this country then someone please explain to me how Joe Biden got 80 million votes? What are the Democrats running scared of? States are making it harder to cheat, and that can only be a good thing, surely?"
Wayne Dupree
"We can applaud the beginning of the end of the woke movement. But its mother and father – the fundamental fear of impoverishment by the masses and the anti-liberty sophistry of the elites – are alive and well within the centralized state. If the US goes totalitarian (and door to door injections sound like a good start) the only thing left to burn will be the currency, and corpses."
Karen Kwiatkowski
"For the libertarian with a foundation in property rights, personal responsibility, and financial literacy, the way forward is not joining in left-right political boxing matches, but secession. When the rule of law fails Derek Chauvin and common sense regarding gender-based separation in sensitive spaces disappears, libertarians need not wallow in their pillows and chocolate like after a devastating breakup. The political pendulum brings hope or disappointment for those loyal to a particular party. Instead, journal the grievances against Uncle Sam and hypothetically block him from dominating your life.
Secession is needed daily, especially in education and healthcare. The immense suffering of individuals in 2020 caused by government bureaucracy and politics illustrates the importance of personal independence."
