Our Mission Goes Beyond News Reporting

The clickbait headline that outrages you and only leaves you stressed and unhappy is what websites which thrive on hits must resort to. We are not such a site, although it is true some news we report will outrage you, as it should.

Our mission is to go beyond mere news reporting, because you need more than news that documents the slow to rapid advance of the woke savage freedom takers and their war on America’s goodness. Our mission also involves inspiration and solutions. You may not be inspired by everything nor find every solution useful in your circumstances, but we hope that, over time, you will find inspiration and workable solutions that are practical for you.

Every day we not only want to expose and confront the freedom takers, covering news fearlessly, but we want to move the needle in the direction of freedom, one person at a time, through inspiration and solutions which reach you where you live.

Being a subscriber to The Freedomist not only gives you greater access to this content, it also helps us avoid becoming a click-bait farm that merely feeds advertisers views. To do this work takes people and tools and to promote our message requires money, especially since we need to go outside the normal channels dominated by the big tech oligarchy.

Do fewer laws equal less poverty?

Eben McDonald of Counterpoints writes about the way three European countries fought poverty with less laws and less taxes in The Economic Standard.

Eben writes, in part, “Data from the World Economic Forum can easily be used to demonstrate that the world’s most prosperous countries are market-oriented and business-friendly.”

Using Ireland, Switzerland, and Luxembourg as examples, with data to back it up, it becomes clear that economic growth demands that taxes and laws be kept to reasonable levels but that when they are, what we call human flourishing is possible. The weight of excessive taxes and laws, beyond their point of usefulness or where their costs to society outweigh their benefits, drags people and the economy down.

Our perspective is that it’s not JUST about these things, but they are important, it is also about addressing actual disadvantaged communities and groups of people as well as preserving a sociocultural foundation that is life-affirming and that promotes human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing.

We would argue from a Freedomist perspective that the “great reset” invoked by the World Economic Forum, would wage war on private ownership, entrepreneurship, productivity increases, and real economic growth, all the core elements needed to combat poverty. One may be excused to suspecting that poverty is a feature, not a bug, of this “great reset.”

Big Tech Blocks Covid Treatment Information

Connect the dots and follow the money to see why the big tech oligarchy are so desperate to block Covid treatment.

See this segment on the problem. The gist is this, “Sen. Johnson and Dr. Pierre Kory on the impact of censorship in fight against COVID-19 https://t.co/gemBdonw9p @SundayFutures @FoxNews @SenRonJohnson @PierreKory”

The big tech oligarchy is fighting hard to block information and free discussions around possible Covid-19 treatments. Their reasons may be partisan or monetary or both. The powers and entities benefiting from blocking information include the Chinese communist party, the Democratic Party, the lockdown governors, and big pharma. These are all the entities known to have deep hooks into the people who are part of the big tech oligarchy.

The net effect is a potential loss of life. Without free and open discourse, possible effective treatments are a no-go. This means we don’t even block crackpot theories, because the process of scientific exploration demands a “no heresies excluded” approach. Unless actual fraud is being conducted, our major discourse platforms have a moral duty to enforce a scientific standard, not an “orthodoxy against heresy” standard.

The platforms continue to show their lack of ethics and the ease with which their monopoly stranglehold over discourse and commerce, perhaps earned through better serving the market, is being abused now to interfere with the market.

The NOISE Of The Woke Savage Isn’t REALITY

The 1930s and 1940s seem like a golden age for our culture, although aspects of those times are best left behind. However, the excuse that the problems of those times, namely and mostly related to inequality on a racial or gender basis, warrant an assault on the underlying moral foundations of that culture is disingenuous. Our aim is to not merely restore the best elements and sociocultural constructs of this golden age of our culture but to advance further and to discard the flaws.

In many ways, but certainly not all, in order to advance American culture further to benefit more people, we need to go back to the 30s and 40s for inspiration, albeit not by simply trying to reconstitute the past.

Often we speak of the depraved culture or corrupt culture. When we do, we are speaking of the fake “culture” PRESENTED to us through the endless noise of the entertainment world, academia, and media, a loud and continuous noise presented as if IT was THE culture embraced by all.

A small qualifying statement is needed: we use the phrase “woke savage” to identify the hypothetical persona which is a threat to our our freedom and way of life. This is rhetorical flourish. Most people who consider themselves woke are not savages hell-bent on chaos or coercing others, but there are leading voices who sound more like the spirit of the woke savage. So, “woke savages” aren’t actual people, it simply a rhetorical device for identifying a type of extreme persona which people may tend to emulate to some degree or another, but it’s not an actual person per se. For instance, we may say President Biden at times gives lip service to or channels the spirit of the woke savage, but we aren’t saying he IS a woke savage.

Let’s begin with discussing the NOISE that presents itself to us everyday.

Most people in most places most of the time are not embracing the noise as something that reflects who they are. They may be foolishly, recklessly, bowing to it or being silent when it comes calling and demands their nods of approval. When they are told to stop seeing gender as a biological construct but as a social construct and yet also that sexual orientation is purely biological, they just nod along without sincerely agreeing because they “don’t need the hassle.”

The noise, filled with nonsense about race-baiting and gender-bending and flooded with utopian promises about how government can meet every need if only it had more power, begins to feel like the culture it is covering over. The noise isn’t the culture that is actually practiced by anyone save the hardcore partisan. No serious person who embraces a Judeo-Christian culture doubts their biological gender or that sexual orientation is mostly a choice, even if it has biological causes as well.

The average person who follows our Judeo-Christian moral tradition knows they are not racist just because of their skin color. They know that “the white race” isn’t any more prone to imperialism than any national groups of people throughout history who gained power and military advantage.

The noise presents what seems to us is a morally backward, barbaric libertinism. It presents this as the norm but the average person in this country still wants a happy marriage with their own children and a loving family life in a home they own. It is also true the average person doesn’t much care that others may want something different. They begin to bridle when they are vilified for being “cisgender breeders” and when their choice of marriage and family life is treated as if it is fringe.

Historians know that when you study the official records of a society you may not be seeing things as they really were in that society. The leavings of the record, the noise which covered over that society’s culture, may in fact be more fanciful or aspirational than reflective or accurate. Did this or that Pharaoh really conquer this place or win public furvor for their policies?

Often the official record is “clarified” or contradicted by archeology. We find that the record of many battles between Hittites and Egyptians is contradictory, both sides presenting an entirely different picture.

If one sees the “record” of our time it would seem like the vast majority of people were gender-bending, race-conscious, woke zealots who feared the earth was about to overheat and die unless we turned off technology and reverted to the stone age. But that “record”, all this noise, is a lie. It’s not how things are. It’s how those who make the most noise seem to want things to be and, sadly, it reflects their growing authoritarian intolerance toward any and all forms of dissent from their fake narrative.

The problem is that the noise is not without meaning or influence. The number of young people confused about gender, thanks to this noise, has skyrocketed and is only getting worse. Years ago we warned that the gender-bending agenda would come for our kids and that even public schools would pressure young people to not only accept and participate in this libertine depravity or be shunned and shamed. That is literally beginning to happen.

Eventually, if the people of the deeper culture acquiesce to the noise, the noise, like a virus, infects the whole and destroys it from within. Eventually, the noise, which is artificial and fake, replaces the real, but not necessarily with itself. The destroyed culture doesn’t just become like the noise, it will mutate in ways nobody expects and become something hideous or break down to chaotic ruin, a rule of the wild in which only the strong survive. The woke anti-culture can never win because it is not natural and doesn’t reflect the reality of human nature. It can, however, so destroy civilized culture, centered on marriage and the family, that what emerges is barbaric pre-culture, savagery.

The truth here is that the noise of this anti-culture of woke barbaric, libertine, authoritarianism cannot replace our deeper culture. But it can destroy it, leaving only a savage pre-culture in its wake. In this scenario, the economic and societal chaos that follows a country that embraces anti-culture as policy will lead to a savage pre-culture where only base survival instinct reigns and only the strong can survive.

The noise of gender-bending, race-baiting, earth-worshipping, and all these other anti-culture ways has no basis in reality or human nature. Creating policies based on this and teaching this as gospel to our children is mass suicide for our country. The archetypical “woke savage” with this anti-culture fake narrative should be shunned off the stage, not lionized or feared, let alone submitted to. This archetype, the woke savage, can be seen as morally criminal because it conducts its abuse against children on a massive scale by dementing their minds with this coerced fake narrative.

The woke savage is a caricature and an archetype that too many people in high places seem to increasingly emulate in real life. So we will use this archetype as shorthand for the overall agenda and its most ardent and more authoritarian perpetrators.

The noise generated by “woke savages” isn’t the culture. We are the culture if we hold on to our culture and resist the woke savge and its anti-culture. We have to insist on fundamental cultural truths, such as that marriage is one man and one woman and most children should be raised by their own biological parents. (Yes, adoption is a thing as well for orphans and abandoned children, who also deserve a father and mother.)

Our culture doesn’t need or demand coercion. In other words, while we may believe marriage is one man and one woman, we can respect those who don’t and who define things differently. We are not affected if your marriage is defined differently than ours, as long as that respect flows in both directions. But if your demands are for respect towards you that isn’t reciprocated, then we have a classic “either-or” scenario where it’s either we get our version of marriage or you get yours.

We can insist gender is biology, but there is no need to disrespect those for whom it is a social construct. For instance, if you want to be called “zir” and “dir” as your pronouns, we may respect that as long as you don’t make it a demand or go onto histrionic outrage when or if we “slip” and call you “he” or “him” because you LOOK to us like a he or a him. Respect that doesn’t flow both ways isn’t respect at all!

The fact Twitter, a major, if not the major, means of sociopolitical discourse in this country, bans anyone who doesn’t go along with their “gender as a social construct” ideology is an example of why people see the platforms as coercive and, frankly, bigoted. Their corporate culture, enforced in their “community standards”, is bigoted against those of a more traditional Judeo-Christian worldview! This may be their “right”, but it doesn’t mean it is right!

The woke anti-culture wants to redefine everything and wants a society classified by racial constructs into oppressed and virtuous groups versus oppressors who are inherently and unforgivably “racist”, but all of whom are non-genderee and undifferentiated, atomized cogs in their woke dictatorship’s machine. Additionally, the woke savage spirit seems to demand every major corporation, which controls our access and means to discourse and commerce, incorporate its edicts as “community standards” used to banish the dissenting.

To the credit of some platforms, these demands are not always agreed to, but the noise and pressure, now official, to do so is growing. Anyone, left or right, who runs afoul of the woke savage is finding it a tougher go on platforms that are more sensitive to the woke fringe noise than to their actual users.

Nothing these woke savage spirit invokes is rational, it doesn’t reflect reality and it doesn’t reflect human nature. Given time, any country that embraces this barbaric, primitive, and animalistic anti-culture will become a dystopian hellscape of pure ruin.

Our culture, founded on fundamental Judeo-Christian ideas and values, is within us and remains, for the most part, the way of life for most people in this country. It is the best culture in human history, despite the flaws of its people, which flaws are a reflection of deviations from the fundamental values of that culture, not a reflection thereof.

The woke savage wants to use deviations by some leaders and individuals of influence from our cultural foundation as a means of deconstruction and invalidation. It wants to tear down everything good and replace it with something unnatural, archaic, and backwards.

We have to stop listening to the noise. We have to stop bowing to the noise. We have to start making our own noise. We are a Judeo-Christian culture and our fundamental truths, principles, and values are not going to be surrendered! We will not bow to a small, vocal minority or the spirit of the woke savage anti-culture and its hard-core zealots whose totalitarianism is all too visible.

If you think gender is a social construct AND all who disagree should be bansihed or that all white people are racist, then you have joined the ranks of the barbaric anti-culture. If you go l think anyone who refuses to agree with your fake narrative should be canceled, then you are a totalitarian thug. We don’t have a dialogue. We don’t need to talk. You either back off or we back you off. You take your craven lust for power and go away.

Our right and our ability to preserve our Judeo-Christian culture and its ways in our lives, relationships, free associations, and communities cannot be questioned. Any entity, public or private, aiming at limiting our freedom and trying to make life hard for us, by abusing its monopoly stranglehold over our means of commerce and discourse, should be “nuked from orbit”, as it were.

We don’t demand everyone live as we do. We don’t even care if YOU think gender is a social construct! What we won’t submit to or tolerate is a demand that we abondon our way of life and cultural convictions about the very nature of humanity and human relationships so you can feel good about your choices. This means we will keep saying gender is 100% biological, marriage is best between one man and one woman for life, and all children should be raised by their own biological parents, while orphans and abandoned children should be adopted by a mom and dad.

Because we value pluralism and respect freewil, we don’t care if you disagree and organize yourself or your communities around different ideas and beliefs. In our schema, you are free to live what we see as a woke anti-culture, what you may see as “progress” or “evolution.” But in your schema, you don’t allow for dissent from your fake narrative, and yes we know you don’t think it is fake. You want your beliefs codified into law, you want punishments for dissent in the name of “anti hate speech”, you demand internal banishment for dissenters from all platforms where most all discourse and commerce MUST occur, and you demand children at the youngest age be indoctrinated with your ideas and shamed by public schools unless they participate in your lifestyle.

Some may argue, “it’s convenient that now that the Judeo-Christian worldview is being proscribed you traditionalists suddenly want to preach pluralism.” This is a valid criticism of our culture. It has accepted and embraced the idea that the coercive power should enforce its sociocultural constructs as law. But so has almost every culture in human history. The desire to construct laws around your sociocultural norms is itself a norm!

If anything “good” comes from the woke anti-culture and it’s attack on the Judeo-Christian culture it is a realization that in embracing the coercive power as a culture-enforcer we have sowed the seeds of our own ruin. The very apparatus our ancestors erected to enforce their sociocultural constructs in law is now being used to proscribe those constructs by force or through the monopolistic powers of mega corporations which control commerce and discourse.

The coercive power should absolutely enforce a free and pluralistic norm and punish those who infringe on the rights, persons, and property of others, including their rights to free association and free expression. And, yes, it should absolutely prevent a monopolistic cabal from infringing on the rights of others to create competitive structures and platforms their collusion aimed at their economic ruin.

When communications and internet infrastructure providers who have most of the market share banish dissenters or dissenting platforms, such as a browser blocking a website, then, yes, the coercive power has a vested interest in stopping this artificial manipulation of the marketplace. It is one thing for platforms to have their own community standards, it is another for them to go outside and try to interfere with other platforms to prevent competition.

But, for the most part, this is not the case, most of the woke savage ideation is contained within some of these platforms and it remains possible to build alternatives.

If we manage to vanquish the anti-culture of the woke savage, we cannot outlaw it or its practitioners. We cannot ever again rely on or seek the coercive power to enforce our sociocultural constructs. We must depend on the soft power of freewill participation to perpetuate and preserve our chosen way of life. If indeed our culture is as superior as we say it is, then purely voluntary participatory free association should be all we need to advance it and maintain it. Its obvious benefits and good fruits should be visible proof as to its veracity.

We do not condemn our ancestors. To do so would be to hold them to an impossible standard. The evolution of human civilization toward a voluntary free association instead of pure barbaric coercion has involved a process of thousands of years. What our ancestors did was lay the foundation upon which we could build our present understanding of culture as a voluntary participatory free association that ought not be coercively imposed. Without their achievements we could not even have this discussion.

We have the woke savages to thank for showing us rather graphically how our present system of state and monopoly corporate coercive controls is inherently flawed and poses a real threat to our human dignity and our culture. We must build a civilizational paradigm wherein culture is strictly voluntary and where the political and corporate worlds have almost nothing to do with sociocultural constructs between groups of people on freewill participation association.

But first we have to recognize and turn off the constant and deceptive noise. You who still embrace the norms of a Judeo-Christian culture are still in the majority. The noise-making woke savages are a fringe who have managed to grab ahold of the topmost parts of our institutions and they are using this platform, built and funded by us, to abuse the entire country with their anti-culture barbarism.

We must turn off the noise from these corrupted institutions, especially the two major political parties and mega corporations infected by these savages, and we must make our own noise through strictly voluntary alternative institutions. To use a phrase our woke enemies coined, “we must be the change we want to see.”

What we want to see is sociocultural constructs on the basis of freewill participatory association alone and a pluralism that allows people to form freewill participatory associations as they deem fit so long as this is voluntary and so long as it respects the rights, persons, and property of others. We don’t simply want to roll back the clock to when our culture was enforced coercively or its privileges limited by race or gender: these are flaws we happily abandon because they are actually antithetical to the deeper foundations of our culture!

The noise of the anti-culture is a lie, it is a fake narrative relying on the hard, but weaker, force of corporate and governmental coercion aimed at the rights of freewill participatory association, which right is owned by individuals. Yes, when you deplatform someone from a platform that is the predominant way we engage in social and economic intercourse because they defy your woke anti-culture, then this is coercion. It may be legal coercion and our responses may be simply “unhitching” from your “martix”, but it is still coercive by intent.

Our solution to the woke anti-culture coerciveness of the state and monopoly corporations is actually not to coerce them back. In this case, fighting fire with fire only leads to more burning and damage. We can never return to the idea of coercing even these coercive private companies, we simply have to build alternative structures outside their control and only when or if they seek to damage our alternative structures in illegal ways should we appeal to law.

This is a process. It isn’t going to happen overnight. It is simply our only path.

First, recongize that the woke anti-culture promoted by all this noise still remains a lunatic fringe. Even some of these monopoly corporations are beginning to see that the woke anti-culture noise is distracting and harmful to their own operations. It is not impossible to think that some of these platforms may realize they have swung too far from the sentiment and interest of their users and they must move back toward tolerance and liberty. If they don’t, eventually they will lose users and new alternatives will emerge.

Second, recognize that our own collective embracing of coercive power to enforce our sociocultural constructs has created the very spirit of the woke savage that is now haunting for us. We can never return to that.

Third, recognize that our Judeo-Christian culture is superior only because its benefits and fruits can be seen and achieved without any form of coercion. If we have to use coercion to maintain our culture than our culture our culture is inferior.

Fourth, recognize the need to support and participate in alternative structures, including things like our new platform we are building, that perpetuate our culture on a strictly voluntary basis. We need our own means of discourse, economic interaction, and sociocultural connections that isn’t dependent upon the structures that are presently dominated by the anti-culture.

Fifth, we must NOT become that which our enemies have become, intolerant monsters who barely consider people outside their sociocultural constructs to be completely human. We cannot become bigoted and intolerant toward people whose views and practices don’t align with our culture or religion. This won’t stop the woke savages from lying about us and calling us bigots for simply preferring our way of life above all others, for them it’s “submit or be canceled”, for us it remains, “live and let live” and we cannot abandon that.

Transcending The Ruling Class and Their Control

Willem IV- Our hope and our agenda is to transcend the exploitation and freedom-taking ways of the ruling class and those entities which control our sociocultural, economic, and political environment today, much to our loss and their selfish gain.

The answer is unexpected! The answer is to use the power of organic cohesiveness to intentionally create clustered housing and/or to use the principles of a clustered living lifestyle. We propose a lifestyle rooted in a shared mutual-benefit material culture and Judeo-Christian values in freewill participation with others.

Here are some of the main entities we believe are causing most of the exploitation, if you are coming from the freedomist center-left perspective, and who are greatest threat to freedom, if you are coming from the freedomist center-right perspective: PayPal, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft, John Deere, Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, Tyson, Visa, Master Card, Wal Mart, The GOP, the DNC, Walt Disney, Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, Fedex, UPS, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, IBM, Apple, Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Netflix.

We estimate that these 30 entities control more than 50% of most people’s daily social and economic life as well as almost 70% of their political or civic lives. If all of them deplatform you, then every other entity would follow, effectively condemning you to an internal banishment the likes of which has never been possible in human history. If we grow our list to the most powerful 100 entities we find that the average person is virtually a prey to whatever pressures they bring to bear.

Transcending them means we gain sociocultural and economic independence and our own civic/political clout through an approach that includes both individual and local scale unilateral action and massive scale collaboration and cooperation. We envision a reality FOR OURSELVES wherein our lives, including our sociocultural and economic environment, will reflect our beliefs, values, and convictions alone and not be subjected to the influence or control of these entities.

It is our sacred right of self-determination in freewill participation with others to pursue such a course of deliberate self-preservation from forces and entities that are violating our human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing. We owe no explanations and do not need to ask permission. Our approach is not for everyone but if we choose to define marriage, family, and community according to ancient traditions and values, we take nobody else’s right to do otherwise away from them!

(In other words, if you don’t like our concept of marriage, family, extended family, and communities of trust, then don’t become part of one of our clustered living communities. Nobody is forcing you to be part of such an extended familial community!)

Our true aim is transcendence of their structures and systems of control over our lives and circumstances and the development of our own relationships, associations, communities, structures, and institutions which reflect, as opposed to attacking, our values and lifestyle.

Before we can begin transcending their systems we must understand their nature and extent and just how dramatic and extensive our response will need to be. We must realize that our very lifestyle of libertine atomization coupled with collective dependency must fundamentally and unilaterally change in a very big way.

Our society has been collectivized by a monopoly of wealth and power ruled by a class of people whose vision for the future is positively hostile to any Judeo-Christian understanding of a good and just society and to human roghts, human dignity, and human flourishing in general for everyone.

To reiterate and make it clear: it is our position that unless and until you make a dramatic change in lifestyle from libertine atomization within a collective dependency, regardless of what you think your ideology or party leaning is, you will never, ever break free from these entities unless you personally become quite wealthy.

Moreover, we propose the basic tenets of historic Christian and Jewish moral and ethical orthodoxy are the path to a better future because they not only have worked before but are eminently suited to the needs of the 21st century. We desperately need a path of transcendence from the controlling entities which are threatened to destroy every semblance of human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing.

A good and just society, we believe, is most assured when most all children are raised by their biological or adopted mother and father within a living home and who are united in lifelong monogamous love. Our vision, unlike that of our opponents and that which ALL THESE ENTITIES PROMOTE, is to follow and build our own sociocultural and economic norms in a freewill participatory association instead of trying to coerce or bully people into this way of life.

The ideal home is connected in some form of freewill participatory and/or familial bond with a few dozen or so other homes. This home can meet its needs on a single salary or two part-time salaries or through a small business. This home is either singularly or within a smaller cluster of 5-10 other homes in a housing development, at least 70% self-sustaining for basic food needs and 100% for energy and shelter needs. This home has light impact on land and pays little or no property taxes dorec, thus ensuring its owners (husband and wife) can survive with little cash if need be.

To acheive this requires a high degree of organic cohesiveness, which means shared beliefs, values, and convictions which translate to a lifestyle and material culture that allows for maximum collaboration and mutual self-reliance without the need for top-down hierarchical systems of control. When the starting point is a Jewish and/or Christian worldview and sociocultural framework, you have the ability to connect on a mutual benefit basis with people of like affection. You also have access to ideals and principles which are both proven since ancient days and useful for now and the future.

Indeed, when one considers the sociocultural application and practice of the Judeo-Christian belief system, it should be clear that a clustered living lifestyle is in fact essential to the Christian and ancient Hebrew faith.

Clustered living as if in an extended familial unit, small tribal clan, or self-sustaining village is the only practical and material way to remove at least 70% or more of your material life from any dependency on these types of controlling entities. Again, let’s be clear: only by becoming physical self-sufficient can you transcend these controlling entities and only through clustered living can less than super rich people gather the resources to fulfill that aim.

You cannot do this on your own. You cannot boycott these entities into changing. At present, if they banish you internally, there is little real hope you as an individual without a decent support system will be able to thrive and prosper. On the other hand, if and when we see clustered living based on some form of organic cohesiveness emerge, then people are less likely to even gain the notice of these entities let alone have to endure being banished internally by them.

Clustered living through a modern adaptation of the ancient multi-family extended household community, rooted in Judeo-Christian sociocultural values, and practiced as a small village of closely related families or a tribal group, is the only viable way a small group of people can liberate themselves from this top-down control.

In cases where people gather and meet in clusters with local and like-minded people who cannot physically create a clustered housing development, a high degree of mutual support and mutual self-reliance as well as mutual assurance can still be obtained. Eventually, that cluster of people realizes many of the benefits of clustered living even though their residences aren’t clustered in one development.

The simple and unavoidable truth is that UNLESS you are willing to cluster together for mutual support and profit with like-minded people until most all of your basic necessities can be met with you and those you are closest to, then you cannot expect liberation from these controlling entities.

Of course, if you are independently wealthy you could be more free and/or you could even directly fund such a clustered housing development after you found like-minded people. Most people aren’t and, while we also promote the idea of individuals becoming financially prosperous as a means of liberation, the likelihood of most people in any short term doing so is fairly low.

Basically, for most people, clustering together in some capacity for mutual support with people you have a strong organic cohesiveness with (in our case, with a strong Judeo-Christian moral and social foundation) is the shortest and overall best approach to liberation. Just whining and trying to boycott entities you really cannot live without on your own are not mature responses.

We can explore exactly how to approach this, but what it important is a close degree of mutual self-reliance and mutual profitability in connection with people you have a strong organic cohesiveness on spiritual and sociocultural as well as as economic grounds.

Aside from this kind of approach, all efforts to extricate yourself from these entities that do not involve a massive structural reform of society from bottom to top are doomed. While massive structural reform of society may not be impossible in the long-term and may be a goal, it is highly inprobable in any event. It is, however, virtually impossible if the would-be reformers are not themselves materially independent of these controlling entities.

We can transcend these entities but because they control so much, this requires an approach like the clustered living approach with like-minded people for mutual profit and support. This is in fact a major lifestyle change that will initially be hard, inconvenient, and not without its risks. But, for all that, it is the most viable response to the present crisis for most people.

Critical Theory Is Authoritarianism Pointed Nowhere

Circle Logic and Insane Degrees Of Relationship As Justification For Authoritarianism

Willem IV- Rooted in the dialectical thinking of Marx and Engels and made famous by the Frankfurt School, “critical theory” is both insanely opposite of critical thinking and a justification for authoritarian regimes. Basically, it uses circle logic and insane degrees of relationship to connect cause and effect in order to delegitimize historic institutions that stand athwart a path of radical atomization of individuals that renders them hopelessly dependent upon corporations and/or the state.

Circle logic is based on circular reasoning. If we say, “the Bible is true, therefore you should believe it”, this isn’t proof. We are using our conclusion as validation of itself without offering hard evidence.

In circle logic, the connection may be less direct, for instance if we say “people who think they are not human but animals are more suicidal, therefore society’s lack of accommodation for them is unust”, we are using a form of circle logic. The effect, being more suicidal, has no proven connection to the cause, the lack of society accommodating “species benders”, or whatever we want to call these folks, by refraining from using terms like “people” or even “human” for fear the species benders would be offended.

“Insane degrees of relationship” means you find multiple degrees of separation which connect people, groups, or events to other people, groups, or events and then make a causal statement of relationship between the two. If someone with the same last name as you, some 200 years ago, did a thing that wasn’t good, then you, despite perhaps having a name your grandfather adopted (so you are not blood kin to that family, which isn’t blood kin to the original malefactor), are “related” to the original misdeed and bear collective shame, if not collective guilt.

The effect is that those who wish to be a certain way, prefer a certain way, associate together according to their values and identity a certain way and those who see the world a certain way must be shamed and coerced into something not to their liking in order to assuage those whose preferences and etc. are in the decided minority. The majority must literally change how they refer to others and even themselves for fear of corporate or official entities doing real harm to their economy and/or social life.

In a society in which the great bottleneck of commerce and discourse or social life itself flows through monopoly corporations and their platforms and institutions, where most commercial and social activities demand access to these platforms and institutions, it is no longer necessary to invoke the state in hard authoritarianism. It is soft authoritarianism invoking the so-called “rights” of private platforms to regiment the culture and economy in ways that are harmful to individuals and that violate their human dignity.

Here are a few for-instances:

The fact almost ALL these corporations have woke communist adherants at the top and/or as owners, again understanding that woke communism is different from 20th century state communism, is alarming to be sure. If all of them agree you are persona nom grata, good luck surviving or having a voice or social life. The concentration of wealth and power and the stunning lack of ideational diversity within these entities is the very face of modern woke communism in America today.

The counter, using the state to “fix” the monopoly corporations and their platforms, may actually be as problematic as the disease. Our approach via unilateral change from within through absolutely freewill participatory association doesn’t change the fact we see the top 100 modern mega-corporations in same light as major landed sovereignties. Both entities exert societal control by degrees of authoritarianism, which may be hard, as in the state, or soft, as in deplatforming. Using one against the other is like casting out the devil in the name of Lucifer.

What leads to this soft to hard authoritarianism is the core concept that the only way to “solve” these “problems”, as proposed by “critical theory”, which defies all tenets of “critical thinking”, is to massively alter all societal structures. And the only way one can force a change in sociocultural norms, down to language itself and how people relate to one another, which runs counter to what people trust and are comfortable with, is some means of short-circuiting or suppressing the individual’s critical thinking and freewill. In short, some form of manipulation, fraud, or force must be used.

If you brainwash people through lies and coercion into accepting things not for their own good and without them being fully informed as to the cause, the potential risks, and the effect as well as long-term intent, then you violate their innate human spiritual sovereignty, agency, and dignity. Critical theory is itself an authoritarian assumption: it seems to say that society has been written this way by the coercive enterprise of corporate and state agencies and can only be righted by the same.

One critical theory advocate claimed that the emergence in the early 20th century of all-powerful superheroes like Superman was part of an effort to acculturate people to the all-powerful fascist state, like Hitler and Mussolini. This is circle logic and insane degrees of relationship gone awry and the only “solution” is to proscribe any such materials and to delegitimize those who peddle it as Nazis.

Critical theory, like communism, is a term that hardly portrays the underlying theory. Communism implies community, but in 20th century communism, community is meaningless and only the state matters. In 21st century woke communism, management of society by monopoly corporations and the state replaces community. Likewise, critical theory implies some form of multidisciplinary critical thinking approach to society, but in truth there is no real criticalt thinking.

Critical theory is simply and only authoritarianism and its underlying pretzel logic justifications used to fool or cow people into accepting chains of bondage. Critical theory is invalid from any spiritual, moral, or logical standard you might wish to apply.

While many aims and goals, such as fighting fictional bogeymen (such as “white supremacy”) or fulfilling utopian promises (like “free housing for all), are invoked by critical theory, in practice it points nowhere. Its only true aim is to grow power for those in power at the expense of everyone else, but as to societal aims, it points nowhere and will not acheive any good for society.

Unlike the totalitarianism of the 20th century, which rather explicitly stated that its totalitarian structures were intentional and necessary for society, the critical thinking, or woke communism, totalitarians of today do all they can to mask both the authoritarian roots of their ideas and the totalitarian intent of their agenda. Also unlike the authoritarians of the 20th century, who tended mostly to rely on the state as a monopoly holder of economic and political power, today’s woke communists are happy to use the corporation itself, the corporation in partnership with the state, or the state alone, all controlled by a single interconnected ruling class, to reach their goals.

The gender-bending, race-baiting, and Nazi-mongering are all merely a means of softening people up, undermining institutions which can resist corporate and government control and liberate individuals from dependency. The aim has nothing to do with protecting rainbow people or minority “races”, nor actually confronting actual Nazis. The aim is total monopoly comtrol as an end that justifies any means.

Modern monopoly platforms are to woke communists what the state was to Marxist-Leninists in the 20th century. The new politburo combines shot-callers in the corporate world and the political world into one loosely connected whole and “critical theory” provide the “validation” for this soft authoritarianism. The aim is still the atomization of the individual, the end of personal independence and private property by individuals, and the collectivizing of society under centralized hierarchical control.

The proposed “Great Reset”, touted by the World Economic Forum, for instance, started with the phrase, “you will own nothing, and like it.” This by an organization that is run by and for mega international corporations which purport to be capitalist enterprises. Herein is woke communism explained: the use of wokeness born by critical theory to soften up society for mass collectivization under the rule of a few monopoly corporations and governments.

It isn’t a conspiracy. The pervasive acceptance of this new totalitarianism by most shot-callers in every major institution causes an apparent comity of action that is born more from organic cohesiveness among the actors, who share the same worldview, than any planning or conspiring among them. The fact they are using the illogical methodology of critical theory to divide and soften up society, leading to an assault on institutions like marriage, family, and community, is merely an outgrowth of their own parochial interests and stems also from inflated egocentric grubbers who imagine they alone know what’s best for everyone.

They may indeed have “good” intentions, but their underlying assumptions, rooted in authoritarian nonsense like critical theory, prevent them from seeing that they are in fact “the baddies.” People of EVERY single racial, ethnic, or religious background in every country who embrace some varied form of the new totalitarianism acts almost as if in concert when no real coordination occurs.

This woke communism is somewhat like China’s new Maoism, only it also adds gender-bending and critical race theory aspects of critical theory to soften up society just as Mao’s “great leap forward” did in 1950’s China. China’s new Maoism uses the corporation and a limited free market to produce goods and services, maximizing efficiency, but remains as authoritarian as ever.

Critical theory is dangerous because wherever it gains purchase, human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing become untenable. Critical theory is authoritarianism, period.

If you want to know of a culture leader, politician, or corporate leader is a totalitarian loon, ask them to renounce critical theory and all its components. If they don’t unequivocally do so, mark them as totalitarians and do all you can to extricate yourself from their influence or dependency upon them.

If any leader who holds a position of public office or public trust or who is followed by millions refuses to name, renounce, and confront those who are using the techniques of critical race theory, calling everyone racist or Nazis, then they are nothing more than totalitarians. Moreover, if they refuse to defend the rights of individuals in free association to build and form marital, familial, and community bonds and relationships in preference to their own core beliefs, values, and convictions, then you automatically know this person is a totalitarian.

A holistic view of society, seeing how things and people are connected and interdependent, isn’t a bad thing. This multidimensional and multi-faceted kind of quantum thinking can be an excellent way to solve problems within the broader scope of logic, reason, and critical thinking. This kind of intersectionalism is logical and fact-based. But critical theory invokes intersectionality in tenous ways through circle logic and insane degrees of relationship. It does not identify real problems or real solutions and yet it demands all the tools of authoritarianism (censorship, canceling, deplatforming, criminalizing) applied by corporations and/or the state against relatively powerless people who depend upon them to survive.

Critical theory is, basically and simply, authoritarianism. Period. Full stop. It has no logic and it serves no common good. Its adherants are being fooled into accepting controls and dependency which violate their basic human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing. Its proponents are using this, albeit some of them unconsciously, to soften up society and gather power unto themselves.

It is necessary to confront critical theory as an authoritarian ideology, a modern form of woke communism, that must be confronted. Its innocent adherants must be liberated through peaceful persuasion and outreach. Its proponents who use it to advance their power must be treated with deserved contempt and every effort must be made to disassociate from them, especially from dependency upon them and anything they control.

Is It The End Of America?

When you have a long view of history and understand how whole civilizations rise and fall it is easy to see the signs that America is on a path of self-destruction. Everything from libertine cultural barbarity to massive government debt and the growing monopolistic nature of the market points to a day of reckoning that won’t be pretty.

But is America doomed, is it really the end of America?

Going back to having a long view of history, the doom of any society can seem to take decades. For instance, one can see the rot that would destroy the western half of the Roman Empire infect the whole empire way back some hundreds of years before the final collapse in 476 AD. But this fall was delayed in the whole empire and prevented in half that empire in ways nobody could have foreseen in, say, 300 AD.

America is in fact tearing down its spiritual, moral, cultural, economic, and civic foundations and rendering its entire apparatus of civilization weak and inflexible, corrupt and insensible to changing circumstances, and hostile to its own citizenry. The rise of the woke totalitarians, the cancel culture extremists, the corporate monopolies, and the neocommunist political class are all but SYMPTOMS of spiritual and cultural rot. The backwards, savage barbarians who usually threaten a civilization from outside its frontiers are in fact firmly ensconced within and at the top of all of our major institutions.

This does not necessarily mean America is doomed. This does not necessarily mean that the trajectory of self-destruction will remain on course or at the present high speed. It can suddenly slow down, veer to the side, and even reverse course given the right set of circumstances. All throughout time it has been a “humor of history” for unexpected and unlikely things to completely change the atmosphere and balance of power in the blink of an eye.

Those who know history tend to be highly dubious about “inevitability”, save in the broadest sense that old civilizations die of spiritual depravity and new civilizations rise on the wings of spiritual awakening. In any period of decline and fall it is not set in stone either that the old paradigm is going to fall soon or that the transition to the new paradigm will not be peaceful.

Going back to the Roman Empire, the civilizational apparatus in the west fell apart but in the eastern half, the old paradigm of Classical Civilization was peacefully replaced by the new paradigm of Byzantine Civilization. What we see in this one sample is that when an empire embraces the new paradigm it remains and when it refuses to make the transition it falls.

America is an empire.

When we say “empire” you may be thinking of an emperor and an imperial government and of imperialism mixed with some form of authoritarianism. Come to think of it, our empire is beginning to take on those character flaws of empire, but that is not what we mean by empire.

An empire is an expensive landed sovereignty consisting of many entities and nationalities which are united under a broad legal code and common ideals. Empire speaks to the large size, the multiple nationalities, and the single broad unitary legal code more than the form of government. A highly decentralized empire that gives its constituent entities and people groups a high degree of self-determination within a broad legal code tends toward stability and prosperity more than a centralized empire with an authoritarian system.

For evidence of this, consider our empire has lasted nigh unto 250 years compared to the short run of the Soviet empire!

As America sees its spiritual depravity leading to the symptoms thereof, including a corrupt and authoritarian monopoly of power and wealth, it feels like doom approaches. But doom is not inevitable.

What is the path that will save our empire and revive our civilizational apparatus? Basically, the path is a new spiritual awakening that results in a new civilizational paradigm. Such a transition has no room for the monopolists, the totalitarians, or the barbaric libertines. But this is not a matter of outlawing them per se, it is a wholesale spiritual and sociocultural rejection of them and their ideas from the populace. They simply become pariahs and outcasts in the eyes of most people, most all of whom have internalized the new paradigm as part of their very identity.

The transition from the dying and old civilizational paradigm to the new comes from within the spirit, mind, and heart of each person who rejects the old and internalizes the new. Each person who embraces the new paradigm does their small part in saving this empire from ruin.

The new civilizational paradigm is, we propose, the path to revive our land and fulfill its ancient promise of freedom with liberty and justice for all. As individuals and then freewill participatory associations of such people form and collaborate, the forces unleashed by them in the spiritual and cultural life of America become supernaturally charged and all-powerful.

The path to save our empire is like that of the eastern Roman Empire, it is the path of spiritual awakening that embraces the new civilizational paradigm, one person, one family, and one community at a time!

It is not true that America is doomed UNTIL that doom comes. But it is true that our spiritual depravity, which is leading to cultural barbarism and rising totalitarianism among our ruling class, will lead to the doom of our empire if it remains unchecked.

It begins with us, as individuals, rejecting the spiritual depravity and cultural barbarism, it begins with a spiritual awakening, and it grows as we embrace the new civilizational paradigm and begin organizing our lives, relationships, associations, and communities around this.

America is not doomed. The current trajectory is not inevitable. What remains to be seen is if all or parts of this land are saved from the doom slowly building in the spiritual and cultural rot that is growing within every major institution. This rot may take years or whole generations to reach its point of failure, so we may have little time or lots of time, or we may endure a dark winter under the boot of woke totalitarianism before enough people realize their need to embrace a new spiritual awakening and a new civilizational paradigm.

None of this is inevitable. The choice begins within each of us and then extends beyond us as we seek to awaken others and build new relationships and associations based on the new civilizational paradigm. To fulfill America’s promise, we must realize that the heart of that promise is a new civilization rooted in Judeo-Christian ideals and the vision of an empire of freedom with liberty and justice for all.

Our path is fulfillment or doom. Whether all or parts of America will choose the path of life remains an open and unanswered question.

Holidays Don’t Fix Inequity

“JUNETEENTH” as a federal holiday is a far cry from addressing the historic injustices and present-day inequities endured by African-Americans, as individuals and as nations of people, within this land. We must do better and we must do so on the basis of equal freedom with liberty and justice for ALL people and for all nations of people who dwell on these shores.

Democrats pushed for and are celebrating “Juneteenth”, June 19th, as a federal holiday to celebrate the emancipation of the slaves in 1866. But merely giving a holiday as a transparent sop without handling the substance of historic injustice and present-day inequity faced by African-Americans as individuals and as nations of people is pathetic and wrong.

Notice the angle of approach here. The issue and controversy isn’t individualistic, it is whole-istic. It is both the individual and the national people with whom they are identified as a part. It is both individuals and BODIES OF PEOPLE. The issue is equity both for individuals and bodies of people whose continuum of existence exceeds individual lifespans.

Equity as historically used means “the quality of being fair and inpartial”, but it also means the quality of getting a fair return on the basis of your contribution to wealth creation. To this day, the African-American as an ethnic body, or domestic nation, has not truly enjoyed equity. Things are better in many ways, but not in every way, and the disparity between the equity enjoyed by those of European ethnicity and the black community is still a gaping chasm.

The Republicans tend toward pretending all the ills of this inequitable and unjust treatment of people of African lineage, both individuals and the whole body of people, is all in the past. Democrats pretend the worse things, which included official legal bondage and then segregation, are still exactly as they were. In both cases, the goal seems to be the suppression and sidelining of the African-American nations of people within our land.

Equity for any nation of people goes beyond, though must include, legal protections against discrimination and violations of their rights, persons, or properties and respect for all their liberty as defined by the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights. It is perhaps no accident that every city with sizeable African-American ethnicities has almost zero respect for human liberty as defined by the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights.

The African-American ethnicities do not need our patronizing charity or special “accommodations” because they aren’t somehow “smart enough” to engage life like everyone else can. A holiday to celebrate the freeing of slaves, which ought to include honoring both the slaves and their liberators, namely the Union Army, is a grand idea. But it is a sop when the substantive work of rectifying PRESENT DAY, as oppsosed to historical or presently imagined, inequities faced by African-American nations of people even today.

Sadly, the only people even speaking about the inequitable treatment of the black community overall are Democrats. Their approach is to foster hatred from black to white, to inflate injustices and create a fearful victimhood among black people. They use the crises faced by the black community to excuse morally backwards assualts on the liberty of, first, the black community, and then all Americans.

One may be forgiven for thinking neither the Republicans nor the Democrats want the black man or black woman on this land to have full dignity and sovereignty and to enjoy the same level and quality of life as every other ethnic group in this land.

Perhaps the only difference is that a program of rights suppression and inequity inflicted on the black community, mostly by Democrats who control areas of major clusters of people of different African ethnicities, is now envisioned by Democrats for the EVERY ethnicity in the land. The only exceptions would be the new vassals and rulers above us serfs, and the new apparatchiks, party elitists, and politburo, of their one-party totalitarian monopoly.

The new version of communism, woke communism, is an incestious marriage between rulers in the corporate world, the world of culture creation, and the political world whose malevolent intent is to become monopoly overlords while invoking all the bogeyman fears and utopian pipedreams rooted in the Marxist ideology.

Woke communists use virtue-signalling and histrionic outrage both to make “victims” feel powerless and to delegitimize and demonize their competition. The aim is to shut of any critical analysis about and transparency as to their true agenda while painting a broad bush condemnation of any dissent as somehow being phobic, racist, or intolerant, regardless of the true facts or the intent.

Creating victims and oppressors out of thin air and fomenting mistrust and hate between groups in their coalition (the victim groups) and groups outside their coalition (the “oppressors”) makes it easy to divide and conquer while preventing real scrutiny of just what you are trying to pull off- a coup against the basic dignity and and spiritual sovereignty of every human being under their rule.

The black community is a convenient tool, excuse, and vehicle to power for these woke communists. Make no mistake, if you are a black person, these woke communists, regardless of their ethnicity, don’t see you any differently than the people in Africa who captured and sold Africans into slavery, the slavers who transported them, or the plantation owners who bought them.

Simply running away from the Democratic Party to become a super Republican and cosigning their nonsense about how there is no more injustice or racism to speak of afflicting the black community is also a bad reaction. Republicans don’t fight for the real liberty of their core base, made up of mostly European ethnicities, how do you think they will stand up for you?

The typical Republican reaction (that everyone is to blame for whatever their present circumstance and must pull themselves up by their own bootstraps) is cruelty itself, aimed mostly at dispossessed and disadvantaged nations of people among us who DID NOTHING to contribute to their present state of affairs!

If you argue, “but the black community has problems it must address for itself”, ask yourself what vehicles and means it has to do that and what its starting point is. The federal government has literally run this entire multinational empire as if only some national peoples mattered, but now that empire is turning on everyone who isn’t ideologically pure. In short, the average person of European-American extraction is finding the same empire that essentially only saw European nations of people as truly American has begun to see only people who tow this ideological line of woke communism as deserving of respect and dignity.

African-American nations and all other nations of people are being subordinated to the woke nation! The ideology of the few is being made a bondage for the many. But, for all that, it still remains easier for the average white person than the average black person.

The inequities faced by the average black man and black woman in America will no more be solved through holidays than through a neocommunist war on America’s goodness and freedom itself. If everything good about America is trashed and nothing remains but the substance of the Democratic Party Platform, we all become little more than chattel owned by a corporate and political ruling class and their cultural and bureaucratic apparatus.

How is the monopolistic “rainbow totalitarianism” of corporate-governmental “woke communism” ever going to help African-American families and businesses prosper? It isn’t, it would only further degrade their options and limit their sovereignty.

What does equity look like for the black community? Namely, we would propose a law making it easy for any sociocultural body of people, especially the African ethnicities, to form new “domestic nations” based on “fraternal bonds” (including ethnicity), like indigenous tribes. We propose that lands dominated by them also be made like unto reservations. We further propose that they have seats in Congress proportional to the members of their “domestic fraternal nation.”

In matters of local land use, marriage, family, most economic matters, social needs or social services, and civil matters generally, domestic fraternal nations would have a broad autonomy within a larger framework of laws crafted by free republics and the federal power.

This establishes self-determination for those African ethnic “tribes”, or domestic fraternal nations, within America. These domestic fraternal nations would be ruled by and for the African-American people who are both Africans by ethnicity and also fully and equally AMERICANS of equal value and dignity.

These African-American domestic fraternal nations, which may coalesce around similar religio-cultural affinities, would also now be able to be served more rationally with direct aid given to the domestic nation’s government and meted out as they deem fit. While any sociocultural group of people could form a domestic fraternal nation and any lands its members own in some concentration could gain a special “homeland status”, the African-American domestic fraternal nations must have a priority of care because their nations within this land have received the most abuse and the least equity!

The idea of reparations from “white people to black people” on an individual basis seems asburd. But African-American nations of people among us can be given reparations from the United States of America which, as a multinational country, abused these nations and owes them reparations.

It is true no living PERSON was ever a slave or a slave owner. But nations have an existence that transcends the lifespan of individuals, their life and existence has a continuum of sometimes thousands of years. So also do empires, such as ours. The American empire is a Union of multiple states but also a land of many nations of people. The African-American nations among us have had a long and torturous history with the government of our Union and to rectify this, and bring them to parity with all other nations of people among us, is a radical and just necessity!

A similar reckoning between the United States and our indigenous domestic nations is also envisioned. The goal for each and every domestic fraternal nation being freedom and prosperity through internal sociocultural and socioeconomic autonomy within a large and pluralistic society of equals where the grand vision of an empire of liberty prevails equally and justly for ALL.

Neither Democrats nor Republicans will back these ideas because, at root, both agree that this country should become a unitary state ruled by an incestious partnership between the political class and the corporate class who are assisted by a culture-creation monopoly and a centralized bureaucratic apparatus.

True equity for African-American nations of people can only come when these ethnic groups have domestic fraternal nation status, when their clusters of people enjoy reservation status, and when aid and reparations aimed at bringing them up to the common living standard flows from our country through their own leadership. The distributed African-American nations of people must both be given true and effectual autonomy and they must be embraced and treated as 100% equal Americans, like every single nation of people within these United States of America.

The grievance is not between “white people and black people”, it is between the government of our Union and the African-American nations among us. This isn’t a racial issue, this is a sovereignty and justice issue. This is a conflict between an oppressive government and domestic nations of people abused both by that government and its partners, namely the corporations and institutions of this land. The “white man” has a stake on promoting justice for the black man, because the injustice they might tolerate against the black woman will become the injustice aimed at the white man.

When we understand life and things like justice and equity, including liberty and basic human rights, from the perspective of nations of people in relation to a multinational empire of freedom, which America is destined to become, things become clearer. Likewise, as the true grievances of African-American nations versus our “empire” and its government become clear, so too does a better path forward become visible and obvious.

Our vision of America is to become a Commonwealth not only of sovereign republics (i.e. “states”, though we propose many more states), but of member “domestic nations”, like unto indigenous tribes, which all enjoy self-determination. Such a massive decentralized empire of freedom, with liberty and justice for all, would be strong in national defense, would enjoy a robust free market, and would be a pluralistic society where racism, bigotry, and intolerance are truly rare and where most everyone most of the time gets the freedom to choose the sociocultural milieu in which they live.

Just as the “domestic nations” of indigenous tribes did not wane in their patriotic love of this country, which they defended, so too the proliferation of diverse domestic fraternal nations will not balkanize America but, rather, increase patriotism and justice and spread both wealth and equal liberty to every single citizen of our pluralistic empire of freedom.

This vision for America as a united Commonwealth of multiple free republics and autonomous domestic nations with their own distributed homelands is the ONLY path to preserving liberty for all, fulfilling our country’s true destiny, and rectifying historic wrongs.

Any effort to rectify the inequities faced by African-Americans today or to rectify historic injustice against African nations in this land MUST empower these nations of people under a system of self-rule and self-preservation run by their own leaders for their own people with the backing of our entire country, of which their nations are a valuable part.

The posturing by Democrats and their hijacking of the grievances of African nations in this land as an excuse to further erode liberty and excuse monopoly power grabs is reprehensible and barbaric. Likewise, while the Republicans generally tend to soundbite more in the direction of individual liberty, their refusal to countenance any real rectification of historic injustice and present-day inequities inflicted upon African-Americans is reprehensible and disgusting.

In both cases, the problem (of injustice and of assualts on liberty) is seen strictly through an individualistic lens, clouding both the reality and the solution from ever being truly seen. The ability of people to govern their own free republics and domestic fraternal nations as they see fit, within a broader ethic defined in the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights, has not even been considered. The shared or collective right of every national people to be self-governed and to be treated equally by every institution in this land chartered by our government should be the new front on the battle to advance civil rights for all.

America is good because of our ideals and principles, even if they remain unfulfilled and even if politicians in our name have violated them both historically and in the present. Republicans refuse to evolve to a more 21st century approach to fulfilling America’s promise as an empire of freedom for every nation and person in our land, seeing things from a purely individual perspective. Democrats, on the other hand, attack the very substance of America’s goodness, deny its existence, and evince a design of monopoly totalitarianism, albeit through both corporate and official channels.

When African-American domestic nations and their distributed homelands, are governed by and for themselves with the backing of all of America, and when they are treated like indigenous tribes and given reparations aimed at bringing their quality of life up to a common standard, then we can say the problem of historic injustice and present-day inequities has been truly addressed.

The African-American nations among us do not need the Democratic Party to lord it over them, violating things like their right to self-preservation (Second Amendment) and throwing meaningless sops to them or inciting their young people to hate white people. This is disguised racism. African-American nations among us deserve both internal autonomy and self-determination as well as real reparations given from our country to their nation.

By making the issues of historic injustice and present-day inequities a purely individual issue, the Democratic can conceal their contempt for the African-American nations of people as sovereign ethnicities who deserve self-rule and who should be backed by our entire country. Democrats want to control these people and are only using their legitimate grievances as an excuse to lord it over them and everyone else.

The era of exploiting the black woman and the black man without duly and justly compensating them and ennobling them as equals must end.

Politicians in both Parties must step out of the way and give real power to these people as domestic fraternal nations while offering reparations which their leaders manage and which aim to equalize their standing in relationship to all the nations of people within this land. Giving a holiday to celebrate an emancipation that has not been fully realized for all African-Americans and that is being eroded for most all other Americans is meaningless theater.

Tribal Bias Is Harming The Many To Profit The Few

Willem IV- If our societies are going to bring benefits to most all the people most all the time, then we must replace tribal bias in public policy, the marketplace, and culture with principles embraced by, and which can be articulated by, a mostly independent thinking citizenry. We propose that principles must replace bias as the driving force behind public policy, the marketplace, and the culture!

What we have is a system of tribal bias that excites partisans but that brings less and less benefits to fewer and fewer people less and less of the time. Most of the time, most people’s needs and interests are not served well by public policy, the marketplace, or culture.

The problem is tribal bias and those who are in a position to exploit it for their own parochial interests at the expense of the common good.

Everyone has bias. Generally, bias is a prejudicial disfavor and unfair favor in one direction but not based purely on reason or merit. Our cheering on of sports teams is classic bias, only we hope the referees are unbiased and call the game according to objective facts and merits.

In American politics especially, and in most countries to some degree, bias by society’s referees, from the press to the courts, and by individuals who vote, resembles the sports team anology. Whatever their team is, be it a Party or a perceived ideology, like the left or the right, it can do no wrong, the other team can do no good, and every situation will tend to be judged on the basis of how that interpretation itself benefits the team.

This shallow kind of cultish identification with a political “team” is the major reason why the actual positions and policies of the team’s all-star lineup, be it the Party or its perceived representatives and leaders, shift so wildly. They are always finding situations where they were for something before they were against it and all their “fans” applaud each shift not on the basis of principle but on the basis of how it advances their team.

Of course, only the other team is biased, your team is absolutely principled, even when the principles followed and/or their definitions shift wildly over the years.

When a political “team” is formed it begins to make its own position of power in relationship to the other team of teams its highest aim. Winning elections and adding seats to a legislature or winning a key office, like a premeiereship or a presidency, is all about cobbling together a coaltion of “fans” whose parochial interests are addressed, often at the expense of the other team’s fans. The actual rock-ribbed principles that may momentarily be invoked are really just putty and window dressing.

Political teams demand loyalty of players and fans and will excoriate any referee who dares rule against them with hyperbolic, nay, histrionic invectives like unto a doomsday preacher invoking the final judgment. The ability to even see past anything more than “what gets points for my team” is completely compromised.

Simply deciding to stop backing your team in a biased way isn’t such an easy solution either, especially if you have real, deeper, principled and/or parochial reasons to oppose the other team’s agenda. If you resort to principles even when it zings your former team, and if it advances the other team, then your own principles and/or parochial interests could be fatally compromised.

Extricating ourselves from the bias is not an easy task once it has been hardwired into the political system and the name of the game is basically this: your team wins seats and power by any means necessary or loses them and loses power. The fact some of America’s founders in the early days despised and feared the appearance of Parties on these stores reveals their deeper, if tragically ignored, wisdom. Parties and partisanship, which is bias writ large, tend to undermine principle and focus on short-term “election wins” which never produce long-term benefits to anyone.

Without addressing, much less proposing, the possibility of abolishing Parties, which may be impossible, it should be noted: the very existence of the Party structure that exists in most “democracies” today makes this kind of tribal bias inevitable.

When the purpose is merely to win votes to gain seats, principles are always the first casualty. No major winning political party has ever been absolutely and consistently true to any set of principles it held, say, 30 years ago! Principles can be changed as new data reveals the need to adjust our understanding, but the rate at which “principles” or their definitions change in modern politics is intense. It reveals either a stunning ignorance of truth which leads to constantly shifting principles and/or changing the definitions of principles or, more likely, blatant dishonesty.

The “players” cheered on by the “fans” almost to a person have no higher principle than to stay in their position, whether it is an elected position in public office or a corporate/institutional position of public trust. This doesn’t mean no players and no fans have any principles, but it does mean that principles are not very important and there is little real devotion to them.

We could explore the real parochial interests pursued by the real shot-callers who are essentially owners of both or all teams and how this makes a hash of any so-called “democratic process”, but that is beyond the scope of this essay. Suffice it to say, only the “owners” of the teams, who form one competitive club, benefit from this tribal bias.

Let’s walk away from the bias and examine our principles. What ideals or societal goals do you think are important? What role should major institutions (like governments, family, the church, private associations, businesses, corporations, and etc.) play in your life? What moral, ethical, and/or philosophical guidance should apply to social and other norms, to public life, the marketplace, public policy, or law?

If you don’t have an idea about what your principles are and what priority you place on them, then you are easy prey to whatever “team” captures you with slick marketing and manipulation.

To put put it more clearly; if you desire to not just be prey to others and to be independent, then you should be able to identify and explain both your principles and the ideals, moral and ethical standards, values, or convictions that underlie them.

It bears repeating here that, while may be all the rage to claim to be an “independent thinker”, unless you can articulate both your principles and their underlying ideals and etc. then you are not really an independent thinker. You may not be a strict partisan for one of the teams, but you will tend to gravitate toward people and parties, from time to time, who outmarket the others in relation to your perceived parochial interests.

You may argue that the average person working 40 hours or more per week and struggling to make ends meet doesn’t have the time to do this. Unfortunately, your education from the earliest years to university should have prepared you and empowered you to do this on your own, and on an ongoing basis.

It may not be any accident that all education in the past 100 years is more about indoctrination than empowerment. People who were never given the tools and the time to become independent thinkers and who then become full-time wage slaves may imagine they are independent thinkers, but they cannot articulate either their own principles or the basis of those principles. They were never given the time or the means to do this, which is itself an injustice inflicted by our top-down sociocultural and socioeconomic hierarchies of power.

To become a fully independent thinker one must be able to articulate one’s principles and that which underlies them. Anything less and you are being patronized by powerful forces of manipulated influence and control who simply want you to support their team, often without any benefit to yourself.

Principles must be known and articulated so that you can, in making them visible to yourself, use them as a plumbline to judge any party, policy, or person who holds office or any kind of public trust as to whether they deserve your support or not.

What are your principles and upon what are they based? Know this and then examine every act and actor on the public stage who clamours for your support, patronage, or vote.

If enough people did this, and truly got in touch with the things they deeply believe and support, then the bias of our shallow politics (as well as marketplace and culture) would give way to a more reasoned discourse and to a more results and people focused public policy, marketplace, and culture that brings benefits to most people most all the time.

Once Again We Must DEFEAT A War On Freedom

We must make a fresh determination in our hearts, as did the men and women in World War Two, to fight to defend freedom! We do this by defending and advancing what makes America good and defeating the ongoing war on America’s goodness. This is a war on freedom by today’s version of the Axis Powers, the woke communists!

Freedom is rooted in goodness.

Take away goodness and freedom is reduced to libertine license and animalistic savagery. America’s freedom stands on our goodness. This is why we say that a war on America’s goodness as the line of attack against freedom by the new Axis of woke communists!

Let’s begin by asking, “What makes America good?”

It’s not what you think, and if you get this right you understand what is truly at stake is the very existing of our country. If you get this wrong you become distracted and fight meaningless battles that won’t change the outcome of this war on freedom.

Trump’s slogan remains “Make America Great Again”, MAGA. But the word “great” implies our military power, wealth, or economic clout and standing compared to the world. On the contrary, when we focus on how America is GOOD we get a different feeling in two ways.

First, we aren’t trying to make America good, it is good. Second, we aren’t necessarily trying to compare America to other countries or imply that only we can be good.

So many people support Trump because, whatever else is said about him, they deeply believe he loves America as America, not as some weird globalized hybrid devoid of our heritage. Whatever the truth behind the myth, the people following Trump are generally drawn to him because they inwardly feel that which is the essence of America is under siege.

The war on America’s goodess, both in denying it is a real thing and in attacking its historical moral orthodoxy, is all-too common among the new Axis of “woke communists”, right and left, who occupy places of power in both political parties and every major institution.

America is not good because we have wealth or military might, we are not good because we are great compared to other countries. America is also not good because we unhypoctritically adhere our stated ideals and values across the board. These things are not the source of our goodness.

America is good because the foundational ideals create an arc of history toward a free and pluralistic society. This is a vision predicated on God’s standards of righteousness and justice.

America fulfilled in its ideals is a society made up of spiritually sovereign human beings created in the image of God. It may thay these ideals, as some rightfully explain, are violated in practice. But they are real and they are good. The sociocultural and spiritual heritage, constitution (as in our spiritual constitution), and true manifest destiny of America as a free and pluralistic society of equals is what makes America good.

If America chooses to betray and turn its back on its innate goodness, out of some deconstructionist pique about how we haven’t yet fulfilled our ideals and our potential, then America will not only cease to be great, it will cease to be America!

America is great because America is good and if America ceases to be good, it ceases to be great. This was the sentiment of Alexis de Tocqueville and many of America’s foundational thinkers and builders. Even Thomas Jerfferson, despite hypocritically owning slaves, could not deny that all men, as in all HUMANS, are created equal. The sentiment and truth may have escaped him in practice, but its essential veracity cannot be denied and should never be denied.

Take the notion of manifest destiny. It was warped into an imperialistic lust for lands and colonies in the late 19th century. But, setting aside such a notion, which doesn’t fit our spiritual constitution, the idea of a manifest destiny for individuals or for this country is a sound idea.

America’s manifest destiny isn’t land or power, as was presented in the late 19th century, it is the fulfillment of our goodness as a free and pluralistic society of equals. And to fulfill that manifest destiny we must ever resort to and use America’s goodness as our guide!

This goodness is found in our virtues and ideals, our values and our convictions. It is a benchmark and guide for everything from personal conduct and free enterprise to policy and law.

There are those who are at war with America’s goodness because, at the core, they are waging war on freedom itself. Some call them woke communists, as in a new form of communism which employs private and public institutions and uses the woke cancel culture to suppress opposition. Their favorite tactic is deconstruction.

Deconstruction involves inflating every sin, using guilt by association in the extreme, ignoring anything good about America, and removing the ancient landmarks of right and wrong. Its insidious purpose is to pave the way for an essentially unjust system of top-down and centralized micromanagement of your life. The goal is totalitarianism of some kind.

America’s goodness is more than a foundation for our alleged greatness. Who cares how great we are if we are not good. A great society that isn’t good is only beneficial for the few at the expense of the many. In utilizing our virtues and moral foundations to guide behavioral expectations, public life, and law and in being led by the essentials of our goodness, we acheive goodness that benefits all, excluding none! Goodness is its own reward, it is not just something that gets us something else.

Goodness will generate some form of greatness, but this is the effect, not a goal. Goodness generates freedom and prosperity, it creates a just society that is also pluralistic, and it establishes prosperity as the norm. Don’t let a anyone con you into thinking our goodness isn’t real, isn’t worth defending, and it’s essential to our survival as a free country.

The battle to save and then advance America’s goodness to new heights of fulfillment is a spiritual and then sociocultural battle as well as, albeit secondarily, an economic and then a political battle. The aim is to both defeat the combined agents of a new form of woke communism and to impart and promote America’s goodness as something practiced by individuals and their free associations as well as in our public life, policy, and laws.

Our aim should not merely be to hold back a further advance of the Axis of woke communists and their allies, both right and left. Our aim must be to expose, confront, and defeat efforts by the woke communists to wage war on America’s goodness.

As we Freedomists see it, America’s true manifest destiny, from the perspective of our Judeo-Christian roots, is threefold:

1. to become a decentralized empire of freedom (through virtue, liberty, and independence) with maximum individual and local empowerment according to God’s standards of righteousness and justice

2. to become the cradle of a new civilization founded on shared values and convictions based on our Judeo-Christian roots and worldview and our core ideals

3. to fulfill our spiritual constitution based on a balanced application and Judeo-Christian interpretation of the four core ideals of the new civilization, namely Unity in diversity, Popular sovereignty, Democratic equality, and Rule of law

In such a free and pluralistic society even those whose personal beliefs are neither Jewish nor Christian find a place of liberty and justice that accepts and loves them on the basis of our shared human dignity. But, we assert, without a Judeo-Christian worldview, America’s goodness is untenable and will disappear and so too will America.

Though individuals should be free to choose, it does not stand to reason that things like the accepted sociocultural norms, public life, policy, or law should be turned against those who adore and seek to emulate and propagate America’s goodness. Indeed, we also assert, America’s goodness founded on our Judeo-Christian worldview, should be favored, even though tolerance for those who beliefs and practices differ is also essential to our goodness. In other words, while law should favor the familial unit based on our Judeo-Christian moral foundations, it doesn’t have to compel all to follow such a view of family.

The fact the essence of America’s goodness, which has deep roots in marriage and the family according to thousands of years of historic Christian and Jewish orthodoxy, is being positively demonized by every major institution, public and private, is alarming. This is just one example of the woke communist war on America’s goodness. The net effect is not the advancement of the rights of those whose views on such matters are outside this historic orthodoxy, but, rather, it is the reducing of the rights of the majority to both practice their lifestyle in peace AND promote and propagate it as the BEST approach to marriage and family.

The war to defeat the woke communists and their war on America’s goodness is essentially spiritual and sociocultural, the economic and civic aspects of the the fight being important but not core. We must create and build sociocultural bonds and associations rooted in our spiritual heritage, which is the Judeo-Christian moral orthodoxy, without apology or compromise and on the basis of freewill participation.

We support any and all efforts by people to form freewill participatory associations on any basis, provided the essentials of liberty as defined by the original spirit and intent of the US Bill of Rights are respected. But our focus and aim is on building such freewill participatory association on the basis of what we see as the foundation of America’s goodness: our historic Judeo-Christian moral and ethical orthodoxy which to us remains relevant both to our present needs and future advancement.

America’s goodness is under assault by unscrupulous purveyors of a woke communism that employs public and private institutions to micromanage your life. They, the woke communists, want to deconstruct our goodness on frivolous grounds, without of course explaining that their alternative is far, far, worse than anything our country has allegedly done in violating our standards of goodness.

No country, including ours, will perfectly fulfill its core goodness, if it has such a core, for everyone, all the time. But the woke communists desire to use the excuse of our past and present failures to live up to our goodness as an indictment of our goodness so that, instead of moving toward fulfilling our goodness for more and more people most all the time, we fulfill it less and less for almost all the people, almost all the time.

Defeating the Axis in World War Two took a massive mobilization. Defeating the Axis of woke communists today will require a similar mobilization of citizen activists who soar about the lies and build freedom together!

The relentless assault on America’s goodness by the Axis of woke communism is regressive and barbaric. Their alternative, which they refuse to candidly admit, is an atomized society of nameless, undifferentiated cogs in their machine who are told exactly how to think and act on pain of being canceled right out of existence. Such a hellscape version of tomorrowland for this country would spell the literal end of America.

Without forcing anyone to fit into our mold, but asserting our own shared rights of self-preservation and self-determination, our goal is to promote and impart America’s goodness and to work to see our true and deeper manifest destiny as a free and pluralistic society of equals become more and more fulfilled in our lives, associations, community, and our whole country.

In World War Two, our brave men and women didn’t fight the Axis powers only to watch America fall prey to the new Axis of a woke communist authoritarianism, they fought to defend and advance America’s goodness! We Freedomists will stand in that noble tradition.

Anyone who vilifies us or smears us over this or who tries to make our lives harder simply because they cannot abide us being happy as we define happiness is a totalitarian and a morally backwards, barbaric human being. Our right to be and pursue as well as proclaim and seek legal protection for a life lived by the guidance of America’s goodness should never be interfered with by any person or by any public or private entity.

Efforts to cancel people or punish people because they pursue America’s goodness are unacceptable and intolerable. Together as Freedomists who love America, we will expose the war on America’s goodness, we will defeat the war on freedom, we will peacefully overthrow the woke communists, and we will strive to find practical ways to live out our values and convictions in peace.

The Axis of woke communists and their allies in every major US institution may seem formidable and mighty, like Britain facing the Axis in June of 1940, but we will awaken the sleeping giant and then the tide on these barbarous hordes!
