Sun, 23 August 2009 Judge sentences man to 6 months for yawning in court http://www.boingboing.net/2009/08/12/judge-sentences-man.html Judges wield their power to initiate force against people Our fellow political slaves are oftentimes the biggest hindrance to achieving freedom A "republic" is just another form of statism--treating individuals in an involuntary fashion Most fellow political slaves represent the ideas they were taught in governmental schools For instance, most say that we need "good rulers" or political "leaders" Political "leaders" thrive on arbitrary and involuntary collectives of people Statist falsehoods such as "implicit contract" and "consent of the governed" are the mainstays of political slaves It's important to follow the money trail in the so-called court system Lawyers filter out any and all critical thinkers with peremptory challenges The so-called legal system in America is communistic and tribal in nature Statist judges and lawmakers are drunk on power, coercive and monopolistic power Public property is a contradiction in terms that facilitates all the statist nonsense http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/public_property.html Governmental courts have no jurisdiction because they directly violate property rights The only rights are private property rights, i.e., individual rights http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/individual_rights.html Authoritarianism seeks to control the most basic functions of people's lives The orders in the court mimic the orders in the classroom All governmental courts are kangaroo courts, in which unjust authority reigns, without individuals' consent Go to http://freekeene.com to read comments by statist slaves to free stater posts about tactics of non-compliance Justice agencies in a free market would honor individual rights The only reason to take someone to court is on account of a rights violation The purpose of law and justice in a free society is to right any wrongs perpetrated by aggressors To question things about statism is to stand apart from the collective Ignorance of natural and objective law (based on natural rights) is no excuse! Initiating aggression is wrong Admitting to wrongdoing is not something that pretentious and authoritarian people tend to do Seeking real justice in a statist society is nearly impossible; all that can be done is shaming the wrongdoers, informing others of the illegitimacy of the "court system," and not obeying their rights-violating edicts LAWS THAT PROMOTE OUR PURSUITS OF HAPPINESSES - http://completeliberty.com/chapter8.php Arizona Judge Tells Sheriff "Reveal Password Or Face Contempt" http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/08/15/212254/Arizona-Judge-Tells-Sheriff-Reveal-Password-Or-Face-Contempt Sheriff Joe Arpaio, authoritarian sociopath par excellence - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWJHu1wgPHU Sheriff Joe Arpaio: The Fascist Face of the Drug War - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBQu1spxxFA How to Survive Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Jail System - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqp0Bo_2644 The Murder of Scott Norberg - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BeOd_Ukm_s Ernest Hancock interviews Lew Rockwell and MHD guys, and tells stories about AZ police state nonsense July 23 - http://tinyurl.com/l6x7d4 July 24 - http://tinyurl.com/n94jza http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Standard-Page.htm?EdNo=001&Page=00189 Any organization that funds itself through taxation is invalid Any monopoly provides the lowest quality service at the highest possible price You don't have to do civil disobedience to speak the truth about "government" The more one asserts one's individuality, the more one understands the nature of freedom and oppression The less one asserts one's mind and life, the more the illusion of freedom is maintained If you are worthy of happiness, then it's just a natural thing to assert yourself and respect others Reason, purpose, and self-esteem are key values; rationality, productiveness, and pride are their corresponding virtues Polycentric Order: On Slavery by Philip Hayes http://polycentricorder.blogspot.com/2009/08/on-slavery.html Involuntary servitude is invalid, whether or not there's a contract There is no such thing as partial slavery; in the realm of statism, you're either a slave or you're not Who owns you? Who are you the property of? Yourself No "service" should be provided at the point of a gun The solution to slavery is of course realizing your freedom (via property rights) Crime simply won't pay in a society of complete liberty You must respect yourself enough to respect others in a voluntary society The vast majority of people don't initiate force, even under statism People learn a very distorted view of human nature in governmental schools Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive « alex.moskalyuk http://www.moskalyuk.com/blog/yes-50-scientifically-proven-ways-to-be-persuasive Most people have a very difficult time admitting flaws in their codes of morality Being consistent and persistent with those resistant to truth and respectful morality is key The public relations scheme of government provides ample evidence of its worthlessness bumper music "Clampdown" by The Clash http://www.theclashonline.com/music/london-calling Direct download: Episode_80_-_The_injustices_of_judges_lawmakers_and_courts_natural_law_realizing_freedom_convincing_others.mp3 Category: podcasts -- posted at: 10:55 PM Comments[0] |

Sun, 9 August 2009 Evil is the most unnecessary thing Does evil come from our free will, as granted by "God"? The concept of God can't be defined coherently "God," a placeholder for good parents?
