The premises of this website are self-ownership¹, individualism, voluntaryism, decentralization (à la Ralph Borsodi), self-sufficiency and sustainability. Our steadfast mission: "Changing the world, and the culture, one mind at a time!"

"IN A TIME OF DECEIT, TELLING THE TRUTH IS A REVOLUTIONARY ACT." — George Orwell

Computer technology and the Internet have changed everyday life for the better. Nobel literature prize winner Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio has been credited with saying, "Who knows, if the Internet had existed at the time, perhaps Hitler's criminal plot would not have succeeded — ridicule might have prevented it from ever seeing the light of day."

The goal of this mashup-type website is to lay the philosophical groundwork for self-education in Individualism, Voluntaryism and Anarcho-Christianity, and become a major grassroots information and education resource by providing easy access to a wide range of self-help and self-sufficiency information (see especially the "links" section) not always quickly found on the web, especially in one convenient place.

Fighting against the Grand Globalist's Evil Empire online, and standing against the Vestigial Dinosaur Media's (VDM) Orwellian spin in the Great Culture Wars. Too much fun!

As actor Liam Neeson said in the movie "Michael Collins", "I hate them for making hate necessary." Some folks just think they're smarter than everybody else, a higher form of life than everybody else. So, instead of engaging in good faith discussions about specific ideas, they simply resort to deception, sophistry, unspecificity, undefined terms, manipulation, name calling, ad hominem, demonization and the politics of personal destruction AS A MATTER OF PREFERRED STRATEGY to get their little spoiled-brat control-freak way. Such behavior is anathema to intellectual honesty, an open mind, a kind heart, free inquiry, the freedoms of thought and speech, and the free flow of information. It MUST be eternally warred against if humankind is to entertain a realistic hope of ever reaching its full spiritual and intellectual potential.

Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution says:

"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

In the case of Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874) in the only on-point U.S. Supreme Court decision of which I am aware, the Supremes ruled that the term "natural born citizen" means that BOTH parents AND the baby have to be born in the United states. Not only was Barack Obama most probably born in Kenya, but his father certainly was, as was most of the rest of his extended family except for his white American mother and her parents. His family in Kenya say, and are quite proud of the fact that Obama was born in Kenya.

Last night a lady asked me on Twitter, "What is an Anarcho-Christian?" (That's the word I used on my Twitter profile to describe myself.) I promised her I'd write an essay about it and get back to her with an answer. The question is important, because I believe the experience of history has proven that it takes an Anarcho-Christian culture to sustain a self-ownership-based social contract such as the U.S. Constitution. Otherwise, via the "slippery slope" doctrine, it morphs into police state tyranny — of which the United States has finally become a prime example. In the absence of an Anarcho-Christian culture, the so-called "noble experiment" that is human law and the U.S. Constitution are merely ignoble and tragic failures — even deceptions. This is why the Culture War for the soul of America is of such utmost importance.

Right off the bat, I would like to point out that neither theists (Intelligent Design) nor atheists (Random Conglomeration of Molecules) can "prove" diddley squat to satisfaction of the other side, so it's usually a waste of time to try. I like to just tell my atheist friends, let's pretend that theism (ID) and atheism (RCOM) are both unprovable fairy tales. What's in it for me to believe in the fairy tale with a sad ending? Nothing, as far as I can see, so I made a conscious choice to believe by faith in the fairy tale with the happy (life after death) ending because it makes my life happier.

I have written previously about Twitter, and how powerful and important I consider it to be to the cause of individual freedom and positive self-ownership-friendly cultural change. It is my view that Twitter has the power to promote free speech and individual freedom via the open and unrestricted dissemination and sharing of information in cyberspace. In that context, Twitter has the important potential to function as a two-way emergency warning system, a sort of modern-day Committee of Correspondence to get the news out to the citizenry in real time as to what shennanigans "the king" (government¹) is up to.

I once heard an intelligent man say on YouTube that he believed an interconnected online community of so-called "citizen journalists" — in other words bloggers just like you and me — is the solution to putting an end to government¹ secrecy and start exposing government¹ corruption, deception, and lack of transparency and accountability in effective ways. That is so, because we are the ones who have the cell phones with cameras and recorders who happen to be in the right place at the right time when something newsworthy is happening. With that in mind, I thought I'd take a shot at writing a story folks might find interesting, kind of a "behind the scenes" version of the GOP primary debate in South Carolina. To do that, I wanted to use "tweets" (140-character posts) on Twitter to illustrate my story.

I think the reason it has been so long since my last post is that America's political¹ processes have become disgusting, even repulsive. The politicians bashing away at each other is bad enough, but the cutesy and nasty ad hominem used by their wannabe-clever supporters against those who disagree with them on places like Twitter is enough to make a billy goat puke. Anyway, enough of the self-justification for procrastination and on with the point of this post.

Congressman Ron Paul is the GOP candidate I support for president in 2012. In stark contrast to the other candidates who give mere lip service to the U.S. Constitution, Ron Paul speaks and acts as if he truly believes the constitution is a binding specific-performance two-party contract which is not open to being unilaterally changed via strategic misinterpretation by one (the government) party to the contract. The other candidates act as if it's a corruption-friendly "living breathing" document amounting to little more than a shapeless pile of unintelligible socio-political economic manipulation and rhetorical B.S.

I forgot where I found this sentence, but I love it: "If Christianity is about anything it is about the fact that the awakened consciousness of one human heart can change the entire course of mankind." I sincerely believe that. The question of when to be "civil" (courteous and kind) and when to be "uncivil" (blunt and confrontational) in discussing politics and political strategies is not an easy one. It is true that people never improve out of hatred, contempt and/or scorn; they improve out of love. It is also true that there are adamantly "reprobate" (Jer 7:27-30, Ro 1:28, 2 Cor 13:5-7, 2 Tim 3:8, Tit 1:16) "many-there-be-who-choose-destruction" or "scumbag¹" individuals who have no intellectual curiosity, no intellectual honesty, and who delight in trying to destroy all that is good in the world for their own selfish purposes. In such cases, the question arises: should one attempt to "overcome evil with good" (Ro 12:21), in such an ineffective "namby-pamby" way as to merely enable the evil, or, per such scriptures as Amos 5:15, Isa 5:20, Lu 17:3, Pr 28:23, Eph 5:6-7, Eph 5:11, Gal 6:7-9 and 1 Thes 5:21, should one rebuke the evil openly and bluntly so that it may be plainly seen and understood by those who have not yet made up their minds which path they want to follow (or align themselves with "politically²"?

America's economic crisis is multi-faceted. Probably the biggest part of the problem is cultural, in that an unsustainable percentage of the people have become "entitlement-minded". In other words, they want to live off of the "other guy's" labor which has been stolen and redistributed by dominant members of the human pecking order who call themselves "government". That "syndrome" is most clearly and frequently manifested by the race-hustler scammers when they say, "if you don't want to give me more of your money, you're a 'racist', 'bigot', 'homophobe', 'misogynist', 'hater', etc." Race-hustler scumbag¹, Congresswoman Maxine Waters manifests the syndrome when she tells the Tea Party to "go to hell!" (You first, Maxine, dahling!) But another, maybe even bigger, part of the problem is general nation-wide ignorance about both the U.S. Constitution and its history, as combined with general ignorance regarding the history of U.S. Supreme Court decisions. That's a deadly recipe for the destruction of individual freedom.

Dear Christian, please don't shoot the messenger just because the message may seem at first glance unpleasant to some. It has been my experience that silence does not remedy evil, to the contrary, silence enables evil. The maxim of human law is "Qui tacet, consentire videtur", which means "He who is silent is supposed to consent. The silence of a party implies his consent."(Black's Law Dictionary, 4th Ed.) I specifically do NOT consent to the evil I am describing here. Because I believe history is full of great individuals who taught us that silence in the face of evil is cowardice, I am rebuking PROVABLE, DOCUMENTED evil, along with it's perpetrators, promoters and followers per Lu 17:3 and Pr 28:23, Eph 5:6-7, Eph 5:11, Gal 6:7-9 and 1 Thes 5:21, and exhorting them, per Heb 3:13 and Heb 10:24-25, to do better.

Today was a great day for learning some of the lessons the Internet can teach us. Today, in a proudly in-your-face style, Andrew Breitbart outed talking head Ed Schultz for the propagandistic liar he proved today that he is. In my book, Ed Schultz lost 100% of whatever little credibility he had. Depending on how long it takes for MSNBC to fire Schultz, that network may also lose whatever little credibility they had. This in a time when various polls show media credibility at an all time low with "news" consumers.

Immediately below is Breitbart's video — it speaks for itself — which may prove to be the undoing of Ed Schultz. In my view, it couldn't happen to a more deserving piece of Goebbelsian propaganda scum¹. Karma, Eddie, toujours le karma!
