Complete Liberty Podcast
Show that promotes total respect for self-ownership, property rights, and personal choice--amidst the authoritarian/obedience-oriented political and psychological memes in American culture (and elsewhere). Basically, governments and all they entail are the problem, not the solution. Voluntarism (or market anarchism, or anarcho-capitalism) and customary law principles, in accordance with reason and dignity, spell the solution. www.completeliberty.com

The invalid legal fictions of statism: counties, states, nations, etc.
Report #TL07A: THE ANATOMY OF SLAVESPEAK by Frederick Mann
http://www.buildfreedom.com/tl/tl07a.shtml
"It is hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head." Sally Kempton
It's the nature of slavespeak to keep you in your place, i.e., oppressed
Terrocrat--coercive political agent
"...it's absolutely vital that you understand that the primary means terrocrats use to subjugate, control, and dominate their victims is words." F.M.
Beware the cattle guards for your mind, which are typically devised for you at an early age
The fundamentally irrational nature of spanking, or "tough love," rests on rationalizations for evil actions
Authoritarian sociopaths demand "respect" (in the form of fear and obedience), but turn-about is not fair play
Rationalizations support pseudo self-esteem and vice versa; if you don't honor yourself, you won't honor others
People in government commit crimes (such as extortion and kidnapping) with impunity, crimes which are forbidden to individuals
"[The State] will give you everything if you worship it, this new idol: thus it buys for itself the luster of your virtues and the glance of your proud eyes." Nietzsche
People have to maintain the language of seeming truth in order to maintain their power
People falsely believe that they would suffer if the State fell
The language of liberty (and euphemisms) are used to cover up the tyranny of statism
In general, slave-mentality can consist of many elements...
Each of us is responsible for our own happiness
Life is neither fair nor unfair; fairness is a concept that concerns human relationships
"It's the law" is slavespeak that denies taking personal responsibility for injustice and immorality
There are psychological payoffs for feeling down and out
"A belief that you have to sacrifice part of your earnings, property, etc. 'for the good of society'" spells complete enslavement
Absolute truth is absolutely true :)

How many civil disobedients and libertarian voices will it take to instill freedom memes in the general populace?
In a free market you get what you pay for, and you only get what you want--unlike imposed governmental "services"

who's your nanny? by Trevor Bothwell
http://bothwell.typepad.com/whos_your_nanny/2009/04/american-the-idol.html
Conflation of State and society disarms the masses and perpetuates the Stockholm syndrome
Mass cognitive dissonance circulating in the culture on account of the State
Orthodox Objectivist claptrap: http://capitalism.org/faq/anarchism.htm
"Legitimacy" of government is fostered by virtue of being a coercive "legalized" monopoly
Individual rights exist prior to any government; you are free to make choices by virtue of being a rational animal
The magnitude of the problem of government is reflected in slavespeak and failure to reason from first principles (and defining terms) as well as rewards for obedience
The choice for budding Objectivists: become a Randroid, or become an independent thinker (and thus anarcho-capitalist)
Once you abandon your search for truth, you succumb to your fears
Government equals completely communized justice; a monopoly of "justice" will always provide the worst quality at the highest price
Galt's Gulch was anarchy!
Fear of "competing gangs" stems from fear of others, not trusting them to be responsible individuals
"I swear--by my life and my love of it--that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine." John Galt

Do people have the freedom to travel? Of course they do, regardless of what people in government say and do
Most people believe in the memes of statism and collectivism, having attended governmental schools
The Ugly War on Immigrants: Snatch-and-Jail Justice? By Dave Lindorff
http://counterpunch.org/lindorff04142009.html
Lack of empathy for others follows from dehumanization of them and vice versa
http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/racism.html
La Migra, the official U.S. kidnapper and ruiner of people's lives
The twisted bureaucracy of many names - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Naturalization_Service
Calling fellow human beings "illegal aliens" leads to violating their rights as human beings--first and foremost, their right to travel and to live and work in particular places
You simply can't be for liberty and for "border security"
"Representatives" don't and can't be valid agents for individuals
Ron Paul's statist ramblings based on economic and historical ignorance that play on unjustifiable fears, which is typical of politicians:
Immigration Reform in 2006? by Ron Paul
http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul343.html
We all should look forward to the day when more people ignore unjust, immoral laws, which have NOTHING to do with legitimate torts and thus have no complaining party (in other words, no individual rights were violated)
Baptist pastor beaten + tazed by Border patrol - 11 stitches
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUzd7G875Hc
My own recent story about dealing with the border patrol jackboots for about 6hrs; the scene of the crime was about a dozen miles north of the actual "border" - http://tinyurl.com/d9l4sq
It's vital to delegitimatize the collectivistic memes of nationalism and "citizenship"
Self-defense is hardly possible when criminal activity (of governmental "officials") is legalized and legitimatized
Playing the 4th Amendment card or using other USC appeals fosters police state dehumanization dynamics
The jackboots are destroying liberty in order to allegedly protect it
Obedience to a job description, regardless of its irrationality, is no excuse for rights-violating behaviors
The Third Reich has arrived, once again
It's important to parse out the language explicitly about having to bend your will to authoritarian sociopaths' immoral and unjust orders--in order to make them aware of their coercion
As more people wake up to the nature of tyranny, the tyrants' way of life will eventually come to an end
The Founding Fathers weren't asked for their "papers"; but present day "authorities" would consider them enemies of the State ("terrorists")
Humans owe no allegiance to any "nations"; that would be a form of slavery
The government is this magical place where crimes become legal (and evil becomes good, and ignorance is strength, and freedom is slavery, and war is peace...)
The Freedom to Move by Oscar W. Cooley and Paul L. Poirot
http://www.thefreemanonline.org/columns/the-freedom-to-move/
A communized justice service (government) can never protect you against fraud and coercion
Unquestionable familial "authorities" train us to embrace a monopolies of coercion
http://freekeene.com, a place for cataloguing smart libertarian activism
People in government are not your "servants"; rather, they presume to be your masters
 http://www.marcstevens.net/content/view/26/33/
Obedience to unjust laws is contrary to living a rational life
Conformity to various customs is an individual affair, having nothing to do with law
Only one type of person pulls a gun and makes you do "business" with them: a criminal (or mafia with a flag)
Christian morality of self-sacrifice is quite problematic
Dispelling the various economic fallacies and fears of immigration...
Socialism's focus on consumption and "equitable distribution" ignores the nature of production and the ever-expanding marketplace
The Goal Is Freedom: Free To Migrate by Sheldon Richman
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0402-richman.shtm
If you don't want people living off the dole, get rid of the damn dole!
Natural rights applies to non-english speakers with foreign traditions too; culture can't be engineered
"As long as people people live in peace, what's the problem?" S.R.
Thoughts on Freedom: Absorbing Immigrants by Donald J. Boudreaux
http://www.thefreemanonline.org/columns/thoughts-on-freedom-absorbing-immigrants/
No individual has the right to infringe on another's rights, to impede another's travel and freedom of contract
"Public property" is a contradiction in terms; "private property" is a redundancy
Essentially all the area that government controls can be homesteaded by respectful people; "border patrol" or "police" simply have no jurisdiction
A free economy invites synergistic relationships; competition also fosters good customer service

What Anarchism Means To Me by CatFarmer
http://www.catfarmer.com/str/whatanarchismmeans.html
"Anarchism is my statement of intention to mind my own business, and not to interest myself in yours beyond what is welcome, mannerly, and appropriate to our relationship, because I expect the same courtesy from you." C.F.
"We honor our differences with people we respect; they do not ask our approval or we theirs, yet behold, we get along with them. Mutual respect is an affirmation of shared humanity, and it speaks in a universal tongue." C.F.
"Good intentions are no excuse for making prisoners and hostages of people who have less political clout than you do." C.F.
"Anarchism is sincere belief in diversity put to the test in practice, and a guarantee that diversity will thrive." C.F.
Complete liberty is a system in which people are autonomous, making their own choices (as they do in the marketplace)
It's important to walk people through the corrupt concept of "legitimate authority" (via defining terms)
As a person, as a human being, you have a right to exist for your own sake

Libertarian Party email: 47% of Americans reject capitalism! Fight back, Paul!
http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/2009/04/libertarian-party-email-47-of-americans-reject-capitalism-fight-back-paul/
Just 53% Say Capitalism Better Than Socialism
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/just_53_say_capitalism_better_than_socialism
Unfortunately, the current fascist welfare State is already pretty socialist; the memes of enslavement are here
The LP believes that defeating politicians via elections will defeat the socialistic memes, but liberty-minded voters is oxymoronic
If we could vote our way to liberty, it would be illegal!
Did the Founders "work within the system"? Nope
Yet, the Founders, rather than getting rid of government and its rulers, just changed the faces and created a more tyrannical State (now the biggest in the world)
Hamilton's Curse: How Jefferson's Archenemy Betrayed the American Revolution — and What It Means for America Today by Thomas J. DiLorenzo
http://www.mises.org/store/Hamiltons-Curse-P534.aspx
Authoritarian sociopaths, i.e., "rulers," have pseudo self-esteem, a concept Nathaniel Branden outlined
What Self-Esteem Is and Is Not
http://www.nathanielbranden.com/catalog/articles_essays/what_self_esteem.html
Society can't be made better via the force and fraud of government
"The public" doesn't exist; only individuals exist
Do people understand what capitalism is? Its critics don't seem to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism#Criticism
The dictionary definition of capitalism: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state.
We don't have capitalism today; we have fascism and socialism
Any interaction that doesn't involve free trade is a net loss, a zero-sum or less-than-zero-sum experience
Hmm, why do you think that governments--unlike businesses--don't offer money-back guarantees? Because they don't trade; they loot and destroy
Capitalism, i.e., free trade based on property rights, doesn't lead to economic turmoil or exploitation or pollution; only lack of property rights enforcement coupled with government and its attempts at "regulating" lead to those bad things

The Privatization of Roads and Highways by Walter Block
http://www.mises.org/store/Privatization-of-Roads-and-Highways-P581.aspx
http://mises.org/books/roads_web.pdf
Superpower communized roads--great stuff! (except for 40,000 people dying on them every year in the USA)
The enemies of liberty (typical intellectuals) believe that people are weak and inept; they can't survive as responsible individuals in the marketplace; so, others (who are ~somehow~ responsible) must provide for them
Hypothetical Answer On Political Parties by Jonathan Wilde
http://www.distributedrepublic.net/archives/2004/11/05/hypothetical-answer-on-political-parties/
Public choice theory, etc. predicts that libertarians will always be at a disadvantage in an electoral system
Elections yield "laws" and redistribute wealth according to political wishes; voters want a "return on investment"
The "public good" of liberty simply can't be supplied by government, no matter what or who you vote for
Personal control of politics through voting is illusory
Two things that governmental people offer you: stolen wealth (tax dollars) and threats of coercion if you disobey
The free rider notion doesn't apply when a coercive monopoly is involved, that is, when services are being forced on you
Our Problem Is Immorality by Walter E. Williams
http://www.gmu.edu/departments/economics/wew/articles/09/OurProblemIsImmorality.htm
To Walter Williams and anyone else who is morally confused: You own yourself and your property, and no one has an unjust claim on either. Period. Taxation makes you a slave.
The Constitution is not a contract; it doesn't give anyone legitimate authority to take your stuff
Defining one's terms exposes the moral corruption and evils of governmental officials; the morally "gray" area is where people get away with bloody murder
"The Cult of Moral Grayness" by Ayn Rand
http://freedomkeys.com/ar-moralgrayness.htm
Government is the result of a collectivistic Stockholm syndrome and generally low self-esteem in the populace, fostered by "authorities" in early life
Complete liberty represents a boost in the self-esteem of individuals; recognize yourself as 100 percent sovereign (fully self-owned)

The state of statist intellectuals; victims of bad, contradictory memes

An interesting blogger discussion - Science Saturday: Just a Theory; Ancient violence and the fear of being eaten
http://bloggingheads.tv/diavlogs/18623?in=42:39&out=60:37
It's important to address politics from first principles--and to define one's terms
If intellectuals thought logically and didn't take collectivistic memes for granted, they'd improve society immensely
Individuals (or groups of them) logically don't have the choice to nullify others' choices
What is the origin of human conflict? Not respecting others and their property, courtesy of sacrificial and statist memes
The fact that most people comply with governmental edicts doesn't minimize the ills of government
Other political insanity from around the world...

"Authorities" are basically authoritarian sociopaths
Society consists of individuals using their own volitional mechanisms, which no one has the right to contradict
Authoritarian sociopaths' demise will happen when their "legitimacy" is undermined
The doctrine of self-sacrifice leads politically to sacrificing individuals for the so-called "good of the collective" (i.e., for other individuals)

Liberty and Responsibility: Inseparable Ideals by Max More
http://www.thefreemanonline.org/featured/liberty-and-responsibility-inseparable-ideals/
We must be careful not to romanticize America's founding; the Constitution only applied to those who agreed to it, and plenty of authoritarian sociopathy and collectivistic memes were present
The parasitical legal profession lives off the meme of statism and strips people of their common sense and resources
License is not responsibility; so, it undermines liberty
"Without the liberty to choose our own actions and make our own choices, we lose the qualities of responsibility and virtue that make us uniquely human...Only freely chosen actions reflect character." M.M.
The idea that governmental officials protect your rights is merely part of their public-relations scheme
"Interventionism and welfarism act as a tax on responsibility." M.M.
Politics, being the fourth branch of philosophy, deals with how individuals should treat each other; the only logical (i.e., non-contradictory) politics is voluntarism, or complete liberty
http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/politics.html
People naturally desire to be responsible in a society that respects their property
Evil--the initiation of force--nullifies the capacity for humans to make choices
To engage in voting, a process that is fundamentally irrational, is nonsensical and counterproductive
It's Time to Get Passionate About Not Voting by Stewart Browne
http://www.strike-the-root.com/91/browne/browne1.html
"To all libertarians, I now pose the dilemma of Your Own Personal Bailout: If you could vote for or against a nice big government check written specifically for you, on a secret ballot, knowing full well that every day people all around you are voting to take large chunks of taxpayer change for themselves, what would you do?
This, in a nutshell, is the problem with democracy.  It is also why we advocates of liberty will never bring about lasting change via electoral politics." S.B.
The Internet is spreading the libertarian memes far and wide, but government cannot be reduced or abolished via the ballot box
We are essentially being ruled by moral imbeciles, the least productive, least creative, and least respectful people
To pander to the governmental memes via the voting process is to ruin our culture, our society, and our economy
