United States now a (re)developing country?

Arguably so upon a long-running economical digression per many decades of government's arrogant heavy-handedness, central bank's opportunistic shortsightedness, academia's propagandistic mellifluousness, society's widespread callowness, well neglected, tolerated even supported among bipartisan polity then citizenry, deeply rooted in personal covetousness.

The Rescissionist (aka D.C. Quillan Stone)

Gun owners suddenly a significantly larger voting bloc...

A potentially apolitical, electoral shift mainly missed or ignored by journalists even politicians of both parties; gun owners suddenly a significantly larger voting bloc, given the unprecedented rise in firearm/ammo sales in recent months.

Crossing all lines racial, cultural, lingual, theological, philosophical, social and political is the commonly ineradicable human propensity to defend one's person, people, preference, profession, production, pursuits, purse, possession and property.

If governments will not protect, citizens will. It is an unavoidable thus unstoppable response.

The Rescissionist (aka D.C. Quillan Stone)

Governments may forcefully control people however only for a time...

No matter the reason, no matter the effort, no matter the power, governments may forcefully control people however only for a time, eventually self-destructing into irrelevance (i.e. United States) or oblivion (i.e. Soviet Union).

Certainly, governments often win the day, arrogantly claiming some fabricated veneration, even celebrate festively, wantonly that eve, yet on the morrow shall consequentially lose what was covetously won and more. For under such unwanted constraints, the Individual will eventually muster enough soul, heart, spirit, mind thus the will, insatiably desiring, relentlessly pursuing Freedom regardless the risk of harm even death. It is a matter of defending one's property, possession, preference ergo person and to profoundly, proudly, persistently live not by another's leave.

History have shown this to be so over and over again, and will continue until the last of the human specie returns to dust.

More on Human ABILITY to REASON, Human RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 162

Most likely to be published later this spring/summer of 2020, my 11th book entitled appropriately; More Proems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the previous....

PROEM & POEM No. 162 - Individually We Stand / 1st Reprise

      The contest of 1776 was less than an American Revolutionary War, gravely dividing colonials particularly in the early years, thus appropriately far more the First American Civil War. As such, presumptuous terms like "we the people" and "will of the people" ought be criticized as fantastical whimsically than factual actually even when characterizing this country's debatably problematic founding.

      Groups large or small rhetorically often refer to themselves as "we" of course, although truly never representing one will, one voice, one opinion, one preference, one motive, one objective, etc. For the "will of the people" is unquestionably illusory, consequently the "will" determined quite individually hence expressed and exercised daily, hourly as well momentarily.

      Therefore it is utterly erroneous to argue, suggest even hint something collective or universal other than for lyrically misguided sentiments if one must emotionally insist on the vagary. And there lies the unfortunate disservice thus detriment, for artistic sentimentalism is as convincing as it is unintentionally misleading if not intentionally deceiving.

      It follows, the term “common good” is as illusory thus equally a vagary as the aforementioned “singular” references for groups of people. It implies a commonality simply not accurate if to consider empirically the individual personality, psychology, perception, preference and more. Raise any one “common good” duly noted within history books, and among the consenters there consistently, rightly exist the dissenters. The most one can logically describe about such things; united the majority trampled and conquered the minority oppose to “united we stand” or some other nonsensical assumption.

And there you have Biden's politically convenient strategy.

For context, I am NOT Democrat NOR Republican, for both parties over the decades have done much to depress this country's economy as well contuse, constrain and confiscate individual life, liberty and property here and abroad. And of recent months, both parties have either supported or allowed The Great American Oppression and Economic Chaos....

And there you have Biden's politically convenient strategy (see link/article); Health versus Plague. Meanwhile, the medical community remains divided between those persuaded by government funds (particularly Covid-1984 funding), versus those persuaded by non-padded data thus nonpolitical science although silenced and dissed by mass/social media and politicians.

Strategically, Democrats may have just lost the election by such tyrannical declaration regarding masks. Many citizens of both parties are publicly silent on the matter although may privately vote against the intrusion thus in favor of the lesser evil (if you will). We will see.

Personally, shame on any one who freely wears their mask yet insist all others be forced to do the same. I refer you to previous posts regarding my definition of perversion.

Washington Post: Joe Biden says he would require Americans to wear masks in public...
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/joe-biden-says-he-would-require-americans-to-wear-masks-in-public/2020/06/26/8c430db8-b75d-11ea-a8da-693df3d7674a_story.html

Some Germans of 1930s, similarly minded thus complicity behaved...

"All I do is I get in my car maybe with (husband) Steve and we go around town looking for people who are not wearing masks." --- Joy Behar, The View

Some misguided, misdirected Germans of 1930s, similarly minded thus complicity behaved, were no less characteristically passionate, socially concerned, morally driven even personally sincere. However such passion, concern, drive and sincerity do NOT justify actions of any sort for any reason, NOR confirm the acted upon knowledge as manipulatively provided by journalists, politicians, professors, teachers even unknowingly passed along by community leaders, activists, ministers/pastors, etc.

Less discerned by most of course is the preoccupied covetousness then emboldened perversion at the rotten core of such attempts to publicly expose, shame even harm others of opinions and behaviors contrary to one's own. For as I state in my forthcoming book...

"For a moment once again, ponderously consider and precisely understand the word perversion by the most contemptible, abominable, barbarous, nefarious as well depraved, reprobated of definitions; for one to consent or dissent on all matters per his/her preference, yet remain discontented, disconcerted even disturbed until others act, speak even think compatibly, similarly by force legal or illegal. It is critical to include in consideration and understanding the word and sentiment covetousness as the indisputable perquisite to such perversion."

It is delusional to expect actual police reform by simply more legislation. Power is a constant corruptible dynamic distorting even perverting human character thus judgement. Reducing power of course reduces the corruptible dynamic. Therefore, the sole remedy is the rescission of laws and regulations ultimately enforced by police departments and other like-agencies.

Quote by The RESCISSIONIST aka D.C. Quillan Stone

Hence the forthcoming pamphlet.

Anyone recall Eric Garner and David Hooks ... by The Rescissionist

Anyone recall why midsummer of 2014 police approached Eric Garner prior to choking him to death in broad daylight? Anyone consider by rescinding the "loosie" law and more, other such situations would be rightly, humanely avoided?

Anyone recall why later in 2014 police raided David Hooks' home prior to shooting him execution-style in the middle of the night? Anyone consider by rescinding at least "no knock" raids, at most the entire (goddamn) War on Drugs, other such situations would be rightly, humanely avoided?

Of course not, for the logic and ethic elude the mind well publicly educated thus politically conditioned.

Amid the horrific deaths of Mr. Garner, Mr. Hooks and many others during the Obama Administration, proposed were more sensitivity training, more body-cams, more evidential prerequisites along with the usual rhetoric for more and more government. Upon recent police brutalities and senseless deaths, the latest of thoughtless outcries "Defund the Police!" best exemplify the breadth and depth of society's intellectual psychosis, a logical disconnect, for to remain on books the excessive even oppressive orders, policies, laws, regulations, prohibitions, taxes consistently preceding all brutality. It is truly a matter of simple causality.

Racism is an enabled fragment of the enabling aggregate called Statism, a government excessive, oppressive and fuckin' out-of-control, as shown by many online statistics enumerating the brutal deaths by police among blacks, whites, browns, and others (see link as one example).

PROEM & POEM No. 160 - Jevons’ Laws of Thought / Reprise

      As much as we have no power to interfere with laws of thought as Mr. Jevons suggests, or perhaps no right to interfere per the common human propensity to dissent against the interference (to alternatively suggest), government insists then persists to expend resources, exert effort as well exercise compulsion so to persuade individual thought therefore manipulate collective behavior. Thusly formulated in part by centrally produced demagoguery, funded in part by centrally planned debauchery, government’s persuasion and manipulation are for the sole purpose to preempt the otherwise innately, rightfully self-interested dissent in favor of a covetously inculcated, craftily imbued consent.

Police brutality, Government brutality

Police brutality cannot be without Government brutality longstanding.
 

Mayor of Tupelo supports removing the Mississippi state flag

The mayor of Tupelo supports removing the Mississippi state flag while majority of residents do not. Mayor Jason Shelton posted on LinkedIn, "I wholly support the City of Tupelo taking down the current state flag and it being changed on a state level. There is no logical explanation for Mississippi’s leaders to continue to hold on to this symbol of racism and oppression. It hurts our state on every level."

My reply on LinkedIn to the mayor's post...

The US flag flew over legalized slavery far longer than the Confederate "national" flag, yet little to nothing is said about either banner. In addition, the US flag flew over Jim Crow laws, segregation, other horrific acts against African-Americans as well the near-annihilation of Indigenous-Americans along with confiscating much of the continent, the internment of Japanese-Americans as their homes and farms were looted, the imprisonment of Muslim-Americans without due process while tortured, the ill treatment of every wave of immigrants of all races, the imperial expansion arguably starting with the Spanish-American / Filipino-American Wars as two examples among others, and obviously more.

Yet worthy of removal as many insist, the Confederate "battle" flag and perhaps other symbolic versions of St Andrew's Cross. I do not excuse the Mississippi state flag from consideration and criticism, but historically, logically therefore consistently the US flag should first be considered and criticized before the Confederate "battle" and "national" flags.

The Rescissionist.. perhaps it's time to write a pamphlet as well...

Per yesterday's post, considering writing a short piece called "The Rescissionist" in the grand ole American pre-revolutionary tradition of pamphleteering.

Far better ethically, practically thus effectually a call to constructive thoughts and magnanimous debates than a call to destructive arms and monstrous wars.

And yes, I am just arrogant enough to pursue such a lofty endeavor, so please, do not bother retorting the obvious.

The RESCISSIONIST PARTY... perhaps it's time...

The RESCISSIONIST PARTY...

Platform:
1. To write, propose, support and vote SOLELY for rescission, while opposing ALL legislation.
2. To sign SOLELY rescission, while vetoing ALL legislation.
3. To simply, consistently commit to Nos. 1 and 2.

Perhaps its time for such a political, or actually apolitical, ethical party.

If politics involve mainly if not entirely of debates thus pursuits for sufficient control of governmental force, therefore the perpetual unresolved ethical dilemma per those consenting imposing upon those dissenting, then the rescission of laws, regulations, policies, taxes, etc. is quite opposite to the aforementioned power exchanges hence struggles.

To be truly, humanely an Individualist, consistently respecting and regarding a person's Singular Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters, one must be a Rescissionist as well.

The policeman's knee on neck and patrolman's bullet in chest...

The policeman's knee on neck and patrolman's bullet in chest was effectually thus actually forced and fired by the citizen's vote in ballot and politician's pen on paper.

Therefore the singularly logical, ethical solution; rescission, rescission, rescission else more of the aforementioned.

"There is a long history of monetary experience. It tells us that government is at heart a counterfeiter and therefore cannot be trusted to control money, and that this is true of both autocratic and popular government."

Garet Garrett (journalist/writer, 1878-1954)

Quote by Albert Jay Nock (1870-1945)

"It is easier to seize wealth than to produce it, and as long as the State makes the seizure of wealth a matter of legalized privilege, so long will the squabble for that privilege go on."

Albert Jay Nock (writer/editor, 1870-1945)

Thus decades of ever-increasing discussing, debating and dissing over covetously seizing private resources, properties, possessions; squabbling in the streets of Seattle and elsewhere, in town halls as well halls of Congress, in the universities and churches of America, among US news organizations, online media, public forums, local cafes even private homes and more.

Quote by Dr. Ron Paul

"Freedom is not defined by safety. Freedom is defined by the ability of citizens to live without government interference. Government cannot create a world without risks, nor would we really wish to live in such a fictional place. Only a totalitarian society would even claim absolute safety as a worthy ideal, because it would require total state control over its citizens’ lives. Liberty has meaning only if we still believe in it when terrible things happen and a false government security blanket beckons."

Dr. Ron Paul (former congressman and presidential condidate)

Probably one of the very few 20th/21st century American politicians whose ideology will be still read 100+ years from now. Truly, a rare man of peace and freedom.

As posted on May 27th...

Decades even centuries of unquestionable allegiance to a cloth conveniently yet logically predisposed thus the recent weeks and months of another unquestionable allegiance to a cloth. Whether patriotism or paternalism, either presumptuously, arrogantly even forcefully expects, imposes, intervenes and intrudes as well socially disses, shames, accuses and blames anyone who do not relent, assent, submit then commit.

Both allegiances (if you will) consist the same political, social, intellectual as well psychological dynamics. To disagree by separating the two is quite within anyone's prerogative of course, unfortunately it is to embrace, accept, tolerate or ignore the inconsistency. My apologies.

WAR on HUMANITY

There is a bipartisan WAR on HUMANITY covetously, presumptuously waging by politicians and citizens alike...

1. Governments shut down economic, social and religious activities to allegedly respond to an exaggerated pandemic.

2. Federal Reserve floods the country's economy with trillions of fiat (counterfeit) dollars per the recent under-reported bust of a historical 12 year bubble.

3. Protesters-turn-rioters destroy private businesses and properties in numerous US cities, even brutally seizing the same for autonomy, independence if you will, while demanding dependence on others' resources.

4. Police brutality becomes the convenient scape-goat to divert from the far graver government brutality thereby perpetuating even expanding the latter.

5. Gubernatorial and mayoral orders, without accountability to legislators and people, have become the new despotic means to establish law.

6. Enforced vaccines and enforced tracking are discussed as foregone conclusions thus likely forthcoming.

7. Few logically, rightly connect the above 6 points to the last two decades of US warmongering, surveillance, torture, drug-raids, monetization and more.

I conclude again. As politically motivated thus forcefully manipulated, maintained and magnified, whether pursuing on Earth some well-intended Heavenly realm or ill-intended Hellish regime, both purposes upon government's coercion inherently equate to inhumane Tyranny.

PROEM & POEM No. 159 - Jevons’ Laws of Thought

      The laws of thought are natural laws with which we have no power to interfere, and which are of course not to be in any way confused with the artificial laws of a country, which are invented by men and can be altered by them.

      William Stanley Jevons (1835-1882)

      As nonexistent the mortal ability to literally interfere with others’ thoughts in some divine fashion, nonexistent as well the justification, ethic and right to attempt interferences with others’ thoughts by manipulatively covert influences. Obviously by now, the mere hope or desire to interfere by such conniving ways roots deeply in nothing other than covetousness. If not covetousness, then why manipulatively covert influences over informatively overt influences unless coveting others’ propensities naturally unhindered to pursue, to possess, to prefer, to behave, to believe, as well simply to be and to brood or ponder studiously, diligently, purposefully, casually, randomly, whimsically, restfully, dreamily, etc.

      As such attempts go; some succeed while some of course fail, therefore often the political majority of manipulatively convinced consenters versus individual minority of inquisitively unconvinced dissenters. So it is with government’s attempts to interfere with others’ thoughts by use of various methods, political rhetoric, crony media, and mainly by use of the more cleverly successful public education. By forcefully controlling the dissemination of information hence education, particularly history as politically revised, the interference’s potency then efficiency increases and intensifies exponentially upon each passing generation. Soon the child, parent, grandparent and beyond have received the same education and thereof same revision, same exaggeration, same distortion, same corruption, same deception thus an earlier verse and latter reiteration rightly apply.

Told once, a lie, twice, a rumor

Thrice, the gospel peculiar

Speak a lie thrice

And it ceases to be

Speak the truth once

And it ceases to be

      So it is the repetition of propaganda; the rote by voiced citations from sore’d throat per more promulgations thusly rhymed, trustfully indwelt, rutted well in dulled minds as so coveted and quelled by others’ design and deviance.

The laws of thought are natural laws...

"The laws of thought are natural laws with which we have no power to interfere, and which are of course not to be in any way confused with the artificial laws of a country, which are invented by men and can be altered by them."

William Stanley Jevons (1835-1882)

Note:
Wonderful quote! In his 1916 book Thinking as a Science, Henry Hazlitt appropriately referred to this passage as found in Jevons' 1870 book Elementary Lessons in Logic: Deductive and Inductive. Both books worth the time and effort to read.

CHAZ, Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone

There is newly formed autonomy in downtown Seattle; CHAZ, Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone.

At first glance... The occupants walled off the zone to keep others out, much like Trump's proposal and purpose for the southern border. They also quickly mustered and heavily armed a few CHAZ patriots to police as well brutally beat anyone slightly or completely disagreeable to the arrangement. And compounding this quite violent irony, occupants want to be politically autonomous yet remain financially dependent upon city resources for sanitation, water, food and more, while demanding money from people based on skin color.

Government Tyranny, Police Brutality and Racial Bigotry; the essence of their protest last week, the essence of their newly formed autonomy this week.

Arguably, I am far more opposed to excessive, oppressive governance than the protesters-turn-rioters-turn-conquerors-turn-subjugators, thus greatly differ by the accurate identifying and correct assessing of effects therefore causes, else literally impossible to determine logically ethical means to unanimously consented ends. Consequently, I do NOT and will NOT favor one excessive, oppressive governance over another excessive, oppressive governance as unfolding in downtown Seattle.

Those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it.

"The notion that we can dismiss the views of all previous thinkers surely leaves no basis for the hope that our own work will prove of any value to others... The ideas which now pass for brilliant innovations and advances are in fact mere revivals of ancient errors, and a further proof of the dictum that those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it."

Henry Hazlitt (business/economic journalist, 1894-1993)

But how is this legal plunder to be identified?

"But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime... Now, legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits, subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on, and so on."

Claude-Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850)

The gold standard did not collapse. Governments abolished it.

"The gold standard did not collapse. Governments abolished it in order to pave the way for inflation. The whole grim apparatus of oppression and coercion — policemen, customs guards, penal courts, prisons, in some countries even executioners — had to be put into action in order to destroy the gold standard. Solemn pledges were broken, retroactive laws were promulgated, provisions of constitutions and bills of rights were openly defied. And hosts of servile writers praised what the governments had done and hailed the dawn of the fiat-money millennium."

"The classical or orthodox gold standard alone is a truly effective check on the power of the government to inflate the currency. Without such a check all other constitutional safeguards can be rendered vain."

Ludwig von Mises (economist, 1881-1973)

MAN and MOTH

MAN and MOTH                             September 2003
by Quillan

A week passes by, time uncontrollably careens
Defining insignificant epochs of nothingness
The mind surrealistically spins and contemplates
The brain tenuously churns and calculates
The body painfully occupies and employs
The heart weeps from whorish desuetude
The spirit divagates like a fatigued vagabond
And the soul meanders among nebulas of truths
The brass ring is beyond the grasp of carnality
Time after time after fuckin' time
Yet once in hand, the tarnish is manifested
The raven is perched on the sill of worldviews
Cawing and laughing at the disease of religion
The moon turns red at the witching hour
Glowing on the celestial ceiling of opportunity
A bottle of cheap wine reflects her glow
As the masses search for one God in the heavens
A moth is trapped within the lampshade
Where light and eventual darkness converge
And warmth and cold solitude coexist
A confluence of good and evil
A concourse of elusion and absolutism
An intersection of immortality and mortality
A pathetic dilemma common to man and moth
Just flip the switch, you vexatious son of a bitch
Good night and sweet pleasant dreams, my love
Slumber is a circumscriptive tranquilizer
A prescription of dubiety and interim allayment

PROEM & POEM No. 158 - Secrecy thus Conspiracy / 2nd Reprise

      The studying, pondering and laboring over the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters necessitate further the studying, pondering and laboring over Secrecy thus Conspiracy. For within any social context of two or more, private or public, purposeful nondisclosure preempts the aforementioned right by preconditioning, predisposing the targeted person(s) towards a covetously manipulated consideration, decision and action. It is a covert finessing of course, as disrespectful, disregardful even inhumanely despicable as those noticeably overt.

      The very manipulative nature of Government’s purposeful nondisclosure or Secrecy elevates intrinsically, consistently the odious affair to that of Conspiracy, thus the intended and inevitable outcomes of harm and suspicion. For purposeful secrets benefit some purposely, therefore do not benefit others purposely, else hinder even harm others purposely.

      Logically, the burden of proof for yet known Government Conspiracy within the well known Government Secrecy rests not on those who suspect, rather on those who reject. It follows, flippantly hurling Conspiracy Theory or Theorist as a slander far more indicts the slanderer's ignorance of the term and topic at hand, than dismissing the one proposing.

PROEM & POEM No. 157 - Secrecy thus Conspiracy / 1st Reprise

      The term Conspiracy Theory, if ever raised within American culture, is nearly regarded as synonymous with magical potions and mythical creatures. Patronizing smirks even personal slanders are often the responses amid public as well casual conversations. Partly if not mostly at fault for such unfair and unfounded comparisons are those persons and institutions often accused of actual Conspiracy; government’s politicians, bureaucrats and agents, then crony-mass media’s broadcasters, journalists and reporters.

      It is hardly unreasonable for such conspiratorial suspicion given the larger context; the commonly practiced Government Secrecy, as well bipartisan and interagency collusion, along with crony-corporate collaboration. And, to take into consideration the unobservable, indeterminable, immeasurable, unaccountable therefore nondeducible, inapplicable nature of Secrecy (see No. 156), logic would dictate Conspiracy should not be confidently, completely, constantly dismissed as hoax, for (again) much unobservable, indeterminable, immeasurable, unaccountable therefore nondeducible, inapplicable space exists for it.

O paralleling the exaction upon erecting the covetousness
Masturbating thy presumptuousness, ejaculating thy boldness

Mideastern/North African Lives Matter too!

How are we to honestly say Black Lives Matter, as well White, Brown, Red, Yellow, when Americans of all colors inside and outside government have not given a damn for Mideastern/North African Lives from infancy to elderly over the past two decades.

Have our sense of morality become so politically thus inconsistently compartmentalized as well conveniently insensitive even monstrously inhumane?

Apparently! Covetously! Horrifically!

The AMERICAN ETHICAL PARADOX

The AMERICAN ETHICAL PARADOX; are we aware, do we care...

Most if not all of those currently, fervently outspoken against government's police brutality and rightly so, have said little to nothing against US military brutality in the Mideast and elsewhere over the last two decades.

Most if not all of those currently, fervently outspoken against rioters' street brutality and rightly so, have said little to nothing against US military brutality in the Mideast and elsewhere over the last two decades.

Lets be clear. The US military brutality in the Mideast and elsewhere was bipartisan'ly expanded during Bush administration, bipartisan'ly escalated during Obama administration and still bipartisan'ly perpetuated during Trump administration. Upon all hands is the blood of hundreds of thousands.

Is it not the harshest of unavoidable ironies. The very American brutality abroad, largely supported by avidity as well allowed by apathy, have now violently manifested itself across United States merely in different forms.

GOD FORGIVE US ALL, for the unrestrained COVETOUSNESS at core of our sentimentally endeared isms, emotionally conjured rights as well conditioned moralities, conceited religiosities, misguided justices, misdirected allegiances and more.

Police Brutality, Street Brutality, Military Brutality

If remaining accurate the insisted health practices a few months ago per the omniscient among government and media, then there should be tremendous surges of Covid-1984 cases among those justly protesting against police brutality along with those unjustly destroying and looting others' property, as well those policing, reporting and observing.

Logically, sitting near others in church pews, theater seats, salon chairs, at cafe/restaurant tables, nightclub bars are no more at risk if not significantly less than protesters and rioters shoulder to shoulder, body to body, face to face, amid much closeup gasping, yelling, sweating, tearing/crying, brawling, even bleeding, maiming. A viral breeding ground one would think.

My point. Whether it is police brutality, alleged pandemics, social lock-downs, economic shutdowns, fiat frenzies then market crashes then fiat frenzies again, alleged climatic crisis, national indebtedness, widespread joblessness, endless wars and more; all are manifestations of government's excessively vast powers.

With that said, I pray for Reason thus Peace for this gravely divided country. Just as US warmongering in other countries accomplishes nothing but destruction and death, so violence in American streets accomplishes nothing but destruction and death.

There is much social divide...

There is much social divide, mostly per covetously political therefore inevitably conflicting agendas, although included very few ideologically ethical objectives (scattered like seeds among thorns and rocks). Like Great Britain's nonviolent exit from the European Union, perhaps it is an appropriate juncture for states, counties, cities, towns even communities to consider the same nonviolent exit from the American Union.

Instead of perversely even maniacally hellbent towards preferences of the consented at the immorally forceful expense of the dissented, would it not be preferable to pursue smaller sovereign societies, each ethically formed by unanimous consent per whatever desired governmental frame, political system or economical ism, to responsibly benefit or suffer by one's own hand.

George Floyd and Federal Reserve

George Floyd transacted $20 worth of illegal counterfeit (i.e. fiat) money last week, thus questionably arrested and inhumanely choked to death. Federal Reserve created $1,000,000,000,000s worth of legal fiat (i.e. counterfeit) money last few months, thus popularly supported and politically encouraged to do more of the same.

Whether creating, possessing and/or transacting illegal counterfeit money versus legal fiat money, both have similar ill effects on the value of currency and health of the economy. Both forms of money are without redeemable commodities supporting their value, both dishonestly valued though still utilized as long so trusted by the market, and both eventually inflate price of goods/services while deflating value of currency.

To be clear, LEGALITY determines by force the monopolization hence imposition of government money fiat or redeemable and nothing more. To be clearer still, MORALITY determines by expectation the trustworthiness hence usefulness of government and/or private monies however consistently redeemable therefore constantly valued.

With that said, $20 worth of illegal counterfeit (i.e. fiat) money circulating in the economy have virtually no effect if to compare to the long-lasting, devastating effect per $1,000,000,000,000s worth of legal fiat (i.e. counterfeit) money circulating in the economy. Yet for the former, George Floyd was disproportionately apprehended and viciously killed, while for the latter the Federal Reserve and Government will continue as before to covet, connive, collude, convince, condition, compel, concentrate, control, corral, coerce, confiscate, confine, conquer, consume and more.

The atrocity is far broader and deeper as well graver than racism, it is STATISM at its tyrannical worst.

No moral justification for looting

My apologies, but there is no moral justification for looting private businesses, destroying private properties in response to government's police brutality. It is as unjustified as one having a legitimate grievance with the neighbor on the left, then violently reciprocate against the neighbor on the right.

People on all sides need to calm the fuck down!!!

People on all sides need to calm the fuck down!!!

Police brutality, abuse, misjudgment or merely the possession of excessive force, is the direct result of incremental increases of government's power over the decades, as lobbied and voted by people, as legislated and ordered by politicians.

Yet NOBODY in public discussion is suggesting to tremendously reduce government's massive power as the (only) logical hence ethical as well practical solution. Rather, while in love with the sound of their voice, each talking head in media or office prefers his/her political party or faction over others, thus hoping for some control of said power then wield it unsparingly upon all dissenters in the name of some common good or greater service.

Consequently, America in the early 2020s and Germany in the early 1930s become less and less distinguishable.

Come let us Reason! Peace is always a Choice!

If Antifa was Profa...

If Antifa was Profa, I "might" respect at least their consistency between name and practice. With that said, Fascism is still inhumanely Fascism regardless the name or face it takes on, whether presidents' warmongering/surveillance, governors' economic shutdowns, mayors' social restrictions, police's brutal tactics or Antifa's purposeful violence.
