The Path Behind

is how we got here

“Believe me when I say that we have a difficult time ahead of us. But if we are to be prepared for it, we must first shed our fear of it. I stand here before you now truthfully unafraid. Why? Because I believe something you do not? No. I stand here without fear because I remember. I remember that I am not here because of the path that lies before me but because of the path that lies behind me.”
~ The Matrix Reloaded, 2003

I remember that for 250 years we have fought these tyrants, these demon worshippers, these Venetian ‘nobility.’ I remember that for 250 years they have sent their armies to destroy us. And after a quarter millennium of war, I remember that which matters most: WE ARE STILL HERE. So this year, let us send a message to their armies, to their hierarchy, to their owners. This is America. And we are not afraid!

Yes, it was a little over 250 years ago in the harbour in Boston when men boarded an English merchant marine vessel and dumped its cargo of tea into the water. We then commenced to make tax collectors birds again with tar and with feathers. The magistrates hid in fear. The city of Boston lived without government until the evil vicious king and his cronies in Parliament sent warships and eight thousand troops to be quartered in American homes in the 10th month of 1774. We didn’t like them in our homes, raping our daughters, and so we organised to throw off their wretched villainy. We shot them dead at Concord Bridge on the 19th day of the 4th month of 1775. We killed many more as they fled in panick back to Boston.

In 1776, Americans declared our independence from evil mass murdering vile British usurpers. We refused to pay their taxes, submit to their impressment, fight their wars, do their bidding. And they hated us for it. The British monarchy of today is the direct descendants of the same Hanoverian usurpation that governed the British isles then. It was a tyranny then with paid sycophants in parliament who denied the freedom of Englishmen to be represented in parliament, imposed taxes and sinful laws of degradation, and sought to disarm us. So we fought them, and fought them, year after year, on the land and on the sea, until we won.

Then in 1787 a bunch of their demon worshipping filth infested our congress, conspired to form a new government with much greater power, went to Philadelphia to swear a blood oath of secrecy, and came forth with a disgusting centralisation of power called the constitution. It was so horrifying that leading patriots like Patrick Henry and Benjamin Farmer warned against it. To palliate the sickness of tyranny, a bill of rights was crafted by a crafty freemason plantation owner named James Madison and appended in part (ten of the original twelve amendments were ratified soon after the constitution was forced through and an eleventh was ratified about two hundred years later).

If you want monuments to injustice and the ineffectiveness of the constitution at limiting the power of government, look around you.

You may not want to look at the million and three hundred thousand Union and Confederate men, women, and children murdered or horribly wounded, on the battlefield and in cities and towns and homes between 1861 and 1872 (when the last Southern state had been declared pacified). You should, though, because that war between the states got a lot of attention at the time, from men like Lysander Spooner, who noted that the constitution had been powerless to prevent “such a government as we have had.” A government that exiled a seated congressman, suspended habeas corpus, imprisoned newspaper editors, burned homes, raped women, slaughtered children and livestock, and marched a path of destruction from Atlanta to the sea.

It might not matter to you that every other country in the world in the 19th Century ended slavery without an internal war. It might not matter to you that people of my particular religious persuasion, Quakers, were at the forefront of efforts to free slaves before that war and were at the forefront of efforts to end slavery in many countries. We ran underground railways. We hid fugitive slaves. We gave them shelter and food and maps and sometimes weapons. And we were against the war between the states as we have been against all government mandated wars.

War Against Christianity

You might believe that we are in a different spiritual war than the one St. Paul described in his letter to the Ephesians. I do not. I believe we are fighting against the same demons, the same spiritual darkness, the descendants of the Roman nobility that fled the sack of Rome and hid in the filthy foul swamps of Venice. We are fighting the heirs and assigns of the Roman emperors who had Jesus flogged and crucified, whose forefathers martyred forty thousand men, women, and children after the third Servile war crucifying them on the road from Naples to Rome, and who went on throwing Christian men, women, and children to the lions in their decadent and disgusting circuses.

The Venetian nobility are filth. They are the foulness of the swamp they infest. They are disgusting baby torturing, child raping, demon worshipping cannibals. They infest the “royal” houses of Europe, especially the house of Hanover. They hate freedom, they despise humanity, they are disgusted by Christendom, and they seek to destroy truth, beauty, and decency. Their time is at an end. It is our task to end it.

Standing

You have none. Anyone in any government at any level can violate your rights, steal your property, and prosecute you maliciously. You have no standing to object. You aren’t a party to the constitution, which is allegedly a compact of the several states. (Though, to be fair, Rhode Island’s people wanted none of it so the other states engaged in barbaric acts of war, blockade, and embargo until they acquiesced.) You have no authority to object to anything the government ever does. The government will tell you so. And their highest court assumed, completely in the absence of any authority in the constitution, the power to judge the facts and the law to determine if anything is unconstitutional. You want to enforce the bill of rights? You don’t have any such power, and to create such a power you would need to ratify an amendment to the constitution.

Which you won’t get. You won’t get the filthy corrupt nasty child rapists and demon worshippers in congress to approve a single change to the system that they profit from. And how they profit, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars for the most egregiously corrupt of them. What are you going to do about it?

Many of you are probably going to do nothing. Eighty percent of your work force does about twenty percent of the work, they say. I have never seen it. I would say that about 4% of your workforce do about 96% of the work that gets done. So if you figure out who those people are, hang onto them with both hands and as much profit sharing as you can manage.

The declaration of independence says you have a right and a duty to throw down government that functions as tyranny. Several of the states have in their constitutions text to the effect that “all political power is inherent in the people and all government derives from their consent, so the people have at all times the right to alter, reform, or abolish their government as they see fit.” But, of course, many people are not going to do anything at all. So then you have to await the first movers to actually make their moves, get beaten down, before taking effective actions.

Way back in 1997, my friend Claire Wolfe wrote, “America is at that awkward stage. It’s clearly too late to get any results by working within the system, and it’s still too early to just shoot the bastards.” In 2006, she noted that it is no longer too early.

While the prospect of erecting a gallows at every streetlight post on Constitution Avenue and beginning the executions for treason has a certain grim satisfaction, the truth is you aren’t going to see that done this year. The people in their magnificent enthusiasm for change, are having an election. Didja hear? Donald Trump won the Iowa caucuses by a landslide. So the man who put “operation warp speed” in place and whose hotels and properties demanded proof of vaccination is gonna get elected. Unless the deep state does to him what they did to RFK in 1968.

Think Local

There used to be bumper stickers, back when people didn’t get their cars torched in major cities for having political views. One time someone came up with “think globally, act locally” and that was on some bumpers for a while. One of the cars I owned had a sticker that said, “He’s dead, Jim. You take his tricorder, I’ll get his wallet.” For my own part, I don’t expect much thinking from very many people. But if you are thinking, think local and plan locally and work with the people you know. They are, after all, the ones you are most likely to be able to trust when the actual sewage begins hitting the fan.

I have not been remiss in writing about this approach. Over a year ago, at the end of 2022, I wrote about the things you can do in your county.

A few months later, I pointed out the resources available to you if you work with your local search and rescue group, or start one of your own in your county.

So I continue to encourage people to go to https://freedomcells.org/ and elsewhere to look for connexions to people near you. If you don’t know people in your area, I probably do. I’ve travelled in a lot of places and gone to a lot of events with the specific purpose of meeting people who were willing to do anything, or even talk about doing anything, about individual sovereignty. Since 1991. And I’ve found quite a number, on four continents that I’ve visited and two that I haven’t.

One of the outfits that I worked with quite a bit in 1988, in the long hiatus between 1988 and 2007, and during both the 2007-8 and 2011-12 campaigns, was Ron Paul’s political and educational groups. You can find a great deal of information on his web sites and from his supporters at the Campaign for Liberty and the Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity. And, no, I’m still not going to spoon feed links to you. Cope.

Advance Planning

A long time ago there was a “citizens advisory committee for national space policy.” In some of their fiction they wrote about how the science fiction community is the “advance planning committee for the human race.” I didn’t get involved, except in correspondence with some of the participants, in the citizens advisory committee. I did try my hand at writing the launch services purchase act of 1988, but political reform is a complete waste of time and has been for generations. (The system is not broken from the perspective of the filthy nasty evil corrupt politicians and bureau-rats who profit from it, and they will kill you if you succeed in preventing them from profiting. See also “arkancide” in your favourite search engine.)

I myself am not a fan of committees, for advance planning for the human race, nor for any other purpose. My friend and mentor Michael van Notten told the members of the International Society for Individual Liberty that they would be making a mistake if they ran the group by committee. He said they should run it as an entrepreneurship instead. They did, and it worked for a great many years.

In the excellent film “Grosse Pointe Blank,” the antagonist, played by Dan Aykroyd, asks the protagonist, played by John Cusack, “Why don’t you just join the union and we’ll go upstairs together and cap daddy?”

To which the protagonist, Martin Blank, inquires, “This union, will there be meetings?”

Aykroyd’s character says, “Of course!”

Martin says, “No meetings” and immediately opens fire. No meetings my friends. No committees.

But we do need advance planning. Today, following a leading of the Holy Spirit, I changed the pinned post on this ‘stack from ‘it would be a good idea to build civilisations’ to “The Future we choose.”

I think the real “advance planning committee for the human race” is God the Father Almighty, Jesus Christ His only son our lord, and the Holy Spirit. So if you have thoughts about what kind of future you want, I strongly encourage you to pray. Ask God for the future you want and that would be one step toward having it. Ask Mother Mary to intercede to bring about the good things you want.

Several times every day I pray this prayer. I invite you to join me in it. All you need to is say, “Amen.”

Eternal Father please help us to free the slaves, stop the wars, and end tyranny. Please help with guidance, resources, ingenuity, endurance, fortitude, and patience. Please show us the little fires so we may pass by them. Please bring love into our lives so we remember what we have to live for. Amen.
