Is 1:18 / Mt 5:9

2 Tm 2:15 / Cl 3:23

Covetousness... At root of ALL political arrogance, and social presumption therefore the resulting governmental manipulation and confiscation, as well driving ALL personal jealousy and envy...

At root of ALL political arrogance, and social presumption therefore the resulting governmental manipulation and confiscation, as well driving ALL personal jealousy and envy...

"The climax of the Ten Commandments is the Tenth Commandment – 'Thou shat not covet' – Actually we break this last commandment, not to covet, before we break any of the others. Any time that we break one of the other commandments of God, it means that we have already broken this commandment, in coveting."

Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984)

The above quote is perhaps the most profound, far-reaching Biblical commentary of the 20th century, well articulated and postulated by theologian Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984) in his 1971 book True Spirituality, identifying the last of the Ten Commandments as already broken before breaking any of the previous nine. To summarize, all sins flow from the one sin; covetousness. Yet the profoundness, the described depth and implied breadth, therefore the logic and consistency by that insight and truth are best understood by rightly expanding the summary as well the Schaefferian text. That is to say, the disrespect and disregard of others' reasoning manifested by their dissent, thus unilateral actions against the same, spring always from covetousness first, soon followed by presumption then arrogance and if acted upon personally, socially or politically; violence.

 

So must be proposed and stated again the Schaefferian Law of Anterior Covetousness; if an action disregarding dissent (not consensual), then anterior the covetousness as the initial speculation, presumption the consequential disposition, arrogance, disrespect thus disregard the eventual manifestation.

City becomes Republic of Oroville? Well done!

City becomes Republic of Oroville? I find this interesting as a Mississippian though native and former resident of California's northern Central Valley, Hwy 49 Foothills as well Humboldt County.

Many outside California may be aware of the Bear Flag Revolt joined by both Americanos and Californios against the Mexican government's brand of despotism. What the same many may not be aware was the rebellious formation and 3-month existence of The Great Republic of Rough and Ready, against the territorial/federal rule of the larger California thus United States (over taxes once again).

THUS in that grand longstanding tradition of local nay individual sovereignty, now The Republic of Oroville. I tip my hat and raise a glass. Well done!

"This is the power and authority....and DUTY of the local government! If they took an oath to support and defend the Constitutions they must refuse to comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations, and EOs that violate those documents! IT'S LITERALLY THEIR JOB!"

The Great Republic of Rough and Ready... 7 April to 4 July 1850.

Quote by D.C. Quillan Stone regarding Fascism, Communism, Cronyism, Socialism then Individualism.

FASCISM is of course the top-down regulatory methodology towards total control of the economy, while COMMUNISIM the bottom-up confiscatory methodology towards total control of the economy. Thus the two are paths for the same objective.

CRONYISM or CORPORATISM is merely Fascism in part although progressing incrementally, digressing inevitably towards total control of the economy.

SOCIALISM is the stale bread tossed to the Roman mob thereupon insatiably covetous for every sort of arrogated middling. That is to say, the foregoing of their Individual sovereignty, power thus freedom so to be appeased, subsidized and purchased with goods, services even monies underwritten by mass Fascistic regulatory or Communistic confiscatory appropriation of a person’s purse, possession, property and production and the subjugation of the same person’s propensity, prerogative, preference and purpose.

INDIVIDUALISM, in stark contrast to the former, is the constant respect hence consistent regard for each and every person's Peculiar Human Ability to Reason manifested as the Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on all matters.

Certainly news agencies like CNN, MSNBC, BBC and other major networks are not covering the mass demonstrations... while Fox News and those of similar persuasions provide minimal attention...

Certainly news agencies like CNN, MSNBC, BBC and other major networks are not covering the mass demonstrations around the world against economic lockdowns, vaccine/mask mandates, vaccine passports thus crimes against humanity, while Fox News and those of similar persuasions provide minimal attention. Only alternative news appropriately, rightly cover these historic events.

The false narratives (propaganda) and congressional investigation regarding Jan 6 demonstration are having "chilling effects" upon coverage of any demonstration, the same insidious effects intended of course by Department of Justice Secretary memo to the FBI about parents at local school board meetings.

Intimidation and threat escalated to unprecedented levels in the city streets of 2020 remaining uncharged and unprosecuted, the same expedient method now cloaked and draped in polities and legalities. Yet there continues a hesitancy to compare the rise of American Fascism the last two decades (at least) to the rise of German Fascism the two decades between WW1 and WW2.

In case words and terms are still problematic, consider the below logical, consistent definitions...

FASCISM is of course the top-down regulatory methodology towards total control of the economy, while COMMUNISIM the bottom-up confiscatory methodology towards total control of the economy. Thus the two are paths for the same objective.

Saturday well spent...

Saturday well spent... Italian brewed coffee with bit of Venezuelan distilled rum while studying and writing, then drove midday to local soccer games, returned to bake some oat bread then boil up some potato soup loaded with celery, sweet onion, carrots, bacon with a bottle of Southern Pecan beer and topped with water for broth, thus enjoyed a modest bowl that evening complimented with whiskey then 4 1/2 mason jars worth of soup to store.

"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."

Samuel Adams (1722-1803)

"Man is free at the moment he wishes to be."

Voltaire (1694-1778)

"Liberty is the natural condition of the people. Servitude, however, is fostered when people are raised in subjection. People are trained to adore rulers. While freedom is forgotten by many there are always some who will never submit."

Étienne de La Boétie (1530-1563)

Individualism’s ETHOS and CREED...

Individualism’s Ethos and Creed...

To regard hence respect each and every person's Singular Human Right to Consent or Dissent on ALL matters as manifested per each and every person's Peculiar Human Ability to Reason. Without exemption or exception, all considerations must rest upon the aforesaid, else the unethical dilemma remaining unjustifiable ergo unresolvable till resumed and revered the one ethos and creed as determined then established since humanity first reasoned.
