Is It The End Of America?

Bill Collier June 19, 2021

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

Holidays Don’t Fix Inequity

Bill Collier June 18, 2021

“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.

Once Again We Must DEFEAT A War On Freedom

Once Again We Must DEFEAT A War On Freedom

Bill Collier June 16, 2021

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!

Please consider SUBSCRIBING to The Freedomist so we can create content and build a network of Freedomists who will fight to preserve and advance America’s goodness and defeat the woke communists and their war on freedom!

A Lack Of A VP Border Visit Isn’t The Problem

Bill Collier June 11, 2021

Univision’s Ilia Caldaron questioned Vice President Harris on her lack of a border visit, leading to a hostile exchange. While the exchange was tense, and much hay is being made of a it by Republicans, the real problem isn’t a lack of a border visit.

The real problem also isn’t the root causes Harris cited: problems in Latin America like the way women are treated, crime, and, not shocking to anyone, climate change. Of course, in the worldview of today’s neocommunists (neocomms) who run the Democratic Party, it’s all America’s fault. VP Harris, also a neocomm, buys into this insane, and untrue narrative that, basically, America is bad and racist and must pay to fix the world as penance for our wicked ways.

This sort of blood libel hatred against her own country disqualifies Kamela Harris from holding office. Unfortunately, neither our major institutions nor a super majority of our citizenry will dare to hold the line when it comes to allowing elected officials who in their heart basically want to undo our country and destroy everything good about it. Even a representative republic is messy as it can allow such unethical and immoral liars into office if enough votes can be garnered for them.

Our commitment to freedom for all, for liberty as defined by the original spirit and intent of the Bill of Rights, of equal opportunity, and all the other great things about our country are deconstructed by our past and present flaws and struggles. The fact we fought a massive war, the most deadly in our history, to end slavery is ignored and, instead, neocommunists like VP Harris want to act like we still hold slaves, all under MAGA banners.

Seeing that bad things and bad people in this country still exist or that we still have problems and have yet to fulfill our promise and potential as a land of freedom with liberty and justice for all doesn’t make America as a country bad or racist. Likewise, not seeing that we still have progress to make toward freedom with liberty and justice for all is an inherently un-American and dishonest thing. Fulfillment of our promise should inspire every citizen in this country with love and acceptance for EVERY FELLOW CITIZEN in this land!

The problem with the border isn’t the lack of a VP visit. She doesn’t ever need to show up there and, morally and ethically, her hatred for this country disqualifies her from any conversation about our border. Her views are that America is bad and racist, America is to blame for the rank corruption and every ill in Latin America, our border should be open, and, of course, once they are confirmed fellow neocomms, all illegals should be given the vote so the Democrats can enjoy monopoly power. Her neocomm solution is monopoly power for Democrats at the expense of the Bill of Rights.

To be blunt: everyone who carries the neocomm water about America being bad and racist, as opposed to simply acknowledging that bad and racist things and people have existed and still exist in America, is an anti-American. Anti-Americans may have a right to their views and to express them, and even to win office through the election process, but a healthy society with healthy institutions would shun them for their lies and hatred. It is just not healthy, true, honest, or ethical to speak such ill of such a good country.

We do not cover up or refuse to confront racism, discrimination, and hatred by bad people in this country. We do not deny that the journey toward absolute equality between all Americans is not finished yet. More equitable enforcement and respect of the Bill of Rights, voluntary respect for the underlying moral code of those recognized Rights by even private corporations, and a hand-up to help those who remain left behind and disadvantaged are the solution!

We do not deny that progress must be made to lift up the disadvantaged. None of these things mean America as a whole is bad: our values of freedom with liberty and justice for all are the litmus test we use to confront the bigotry and prejudice that still exists.

The fact our values stand on equal freedom with liberty and justice for all regardless of anything but citizenship makes America a good and noble country without peer! The fact we still haven’t fulfilled those values or that we can never perfectly fulfill them doesn’t make us a bad or racist country. That blood libel is a form of deconstruction to pave the way to neocomm totalitarianism and one Party rule.

Kamela Harris should resign, as should every Democrat, from the government of a country she inwardly loaths and lies about in a way that foments societal instability. Her visiting the border would not in any way do anything more than further highlight her immoral, unethical hatred for this land and its people. At root, Democrats view this land and its people as a problem of “racism” and other “phobias” that can only be solved through a monopoly of power for their Party by totalitarian means. Make no mistake, Democrats are the new communists.

America is good even though bad, and racist, people have existed and still exist and even have held, and still sometimes do, hold power. Likewise, America is good even though many neocommunist totalitarians hold too much power in government, corporations, and our major institutions.

The problem with our border is that it is open and is being exploited by criminal cartels who conduct human trafficking. The reason it is open is Democrats want voters they can import and big corporations, the new politburo of the new communism, want cheap labor. The solution would be to secure the border, not to end the ability of people to immigrate here, and to end the neocommunist stranglehold over our government, major corporations, and major institutions.

When the people in the highest positions of governmental, corporate, and institutional power inwardly hate the very country they rule and evince a design of tyranny through monopoly power for the Democratic Party, it is a major problem for that country’s very survival.

Vice President Harris is a necomm hater who is not morally qualified to hold her office, even if she is “legally” qualified. She is a person who evinces a design of totalitarian, monopoly power for her Party at the expense of every right we hold dear and everything we love about our good and noble country!

It should go without saying that the Republicans are not saints or the alternative to this necomm assault on freedom and war against America as a free country. Republicans tend to give too much power within their Party collaborationists with the Democratic Party and seat warmers whose highest aim is to enjoy the perks of office, not to confront and defeat the rise of neocomm authoritarianism in this land.

Republicans tend to act as controlled opposition, to simply mark time while soundbiting opposition they do not intend to mount, or, worse, to dismiss the root problems of extant bias and prejudice or disadvantage that feed the neocomm narrative. The Republican plan to help the poor, the disadvantaged, and victims of bigotry is “pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.” If anything feeds the neocomm lies, that America itself as a whole is bad and racist, this is it.

But if Republicans are bad for having no real solutions to real problems or for pretending opposition while simply marking time and enjoying the perks of office, Democrats are positively at war with liberty and with this country. Neocomm totalitarianism is the heart of that Party in its wanton lust for monopoly power.

We should stop demanding VP Harris or President Biden visit the border. That won’t solve anything. It will only make things worse. They will rant about how bad and racist America is and Americans are, especially those who aren’t diehard necommunist supporters of the Party.

The core beliefs and values of the present Biden-Harris Administration are neocomn, totalitarian hatred for the core values of absolutely equal freedom with libery and justice for all which are the noble heart of this country. They especially loath and want to silence every American who loves our flag and honors the whole Bill of Rights as the highest law of the land. Them visting the border to spew more blood libel against loyal Americans who love freedom would do more harm than good.

Cyber Attacks Reveal Need For A Path To Independency

Cyber Attacks Reveal Need For A Path To Independency

Bill Collier June 2, 2021

Willem IV- Two recent cyber attacks on critical supply chain infrastructure in the US have exposed our dependency vulnerability that must be addressed unilaterally through a path of independency. A new book, website, and eventually cryptonation platform will provide a guide and pathway to build freedom through independency in your life and community.

In early May, the Colonial Pipeline, carrying around 40% of fuel for the US east coast was cyber attacked with ransomwear by an alleged Russian hacking group named “Dark Side.” And on June 1, less than a month later, cyber attacks against a Brazilian-owned meat processing firm with operations in multiple states, and which produces 25% of US meat products, was also cyber attacked.

Both incidents revealed three things: the centralization of market production by a very few firms, cyber attack vulnerabilities in their operations, and the rapidity with which supplies to consumers can be severely limited or cut off. If one feels that all the rudiments of civilization are extremely fragile and could be swept away rapidly and without notice, these cyber attacks are proof of this.

The efficiency of centralized economics, whether by dint of government control or the narrowing of the competitive field to a few large providers, begins to lose its value as one considers the cost outside of the immediate price of consumer items. A cheaper product may be obtainable through mass production and centralized control, but the non-monetary costs may be exceedingly high, especially if one cost is that it doesn’t take much to decimate the supply chain.

Americans may be shocked to learn that more and more of their crucial infrastructure and resources are foreign owned and thus unresponsive to things like patriotism or the sociocultural values of the population. They may also be shocked to learn how such foreign ownership results in bureaucratic responses connected all the way to a foreign city, which makes these crucial parts of the supply chain even more vulnerable.

This is even more true in many counties outside the US, many of which rely on US, Chinese, or European supply-chain owners whose decisions do not reflect, or respect, their values and interests.

What all this means for you, if you remain in a state of dependency to a centralized economic system, is that you have no real economic certainty or security. Your access to needed supplies is vulnerable, often you are depending on foreign decision-makers whose hearts are not aligned with your values or any love for your country.

What kind of response is needed? We need a comprehensive and whole-person, whole-needs response that relies on locally autonomous bodies of people with maximum organic cohesiveness engaged in mutually profitable free exchange and voluntary cooperation.

We need to intentionally and unilaterally connect with people whose values and affections closely resemble our own convictions to create alternatives to the centralized supply-chain. Anything less than this keeps you in a state of dependency to the whims and failures of people whose decisions are not aligned with your values or interests.

A new book, website, and eventually a cryptonation platform, will outline the concepts and methods of a new civilization. This includes complete decentralization of economic, social, cultural, and political life through unilateral local connections within a global support network that will address this and other issues. Using the backdrop and creative device of a future history written in 2147 AD, The Blue Book of Upadaria is a tour de force in all the frameworks and blueprints of that new civilization founded on things like virtue, liberty, and independence.

The Book is also part of an overall plan involving a website with e-learning features and news/content based on these ideas, the eventual creation of a cryptonation platform beginning as its own social media/social networking platform, and an international NGO focused on mutual self-reliance, missions, and providing refuge. This will also include the development of Branch Societies, such as The Upadarian Society of America, the Upadarian Society of West Africa, the Upadarian Society of The European Union, the Upadarian Society of India, and the like.

These genesis structures, supported by paid subscribers and members, will facilitate efforts by individuals and autonomous local groups to pursue unilateral independency through mutual self-reliance and through adopting something like this form of nationhood that provides a strong but non-invasive organic cohesiveness.

The practical actions needed to translate the concept of local economic autonomy for life’s necessities, thus protecting against the disruptions possible in a centralized supply-chain, are explained in detail. Whether one adopts the exact model, based on organic cohesiveness through a shared intentional nationality, the basic concepts and principles can be broadly applied.

At the heart of this approach is a combination of freedom-building efforts. First, this involves finding and using gaps for freedom that promote individual and local self-reliance through unilateral actions. Second, this involves creating safe-havens or freedom sanctuaries through cooperation on a freewill basis. Third, this involves engaging in local civic activism through consensus and voting en bloc that results in local governments backing the rights, physical safety, and economic self-reliance of their citizens.

The “revolution” to take back your land, anywhere in the world, from those whose decisions positively violate your values and interests, while undermining our human dignity and basic human rights, will be waged through individuals and autonomous local groups that connect virtually on a global scale for mutual support.

As people exercise unilateral mutual self-reliance, self-preservation, and self-determination, their lives, their associations and communities of trust, and their local governments begin to reflect a high standard of freedom through very tangible independency. Breaking the chains of dependency takes work and is the only way to be safe from sudden and arbitrary disruptions to the supply of your basic necessities.

The renewal of the land and its liberation from those who respect neither your values nor your interests begins one person, one family, one small group of people, and one locale at a time. The agency of this change, the intentional adoption of a new form of nationhood that provides organic cohesiveness, is one of the core breakthrough ideas of The Blue Book of Upadaria.

The inspiration provided and the blueprint laid out by The Blue Book of Upadaria are such that one doesn’t need to adopt the proposed form of nationhood to glean wisdom and useful ideas from its pages. Whether you go full in on the proposed global emergence of this form of nationhood, which is a spiritual nation whose God is the Lord, or just use its overall ideas, you will find a concrete path to go from dependency to independency.

Statement Regarding Calling For A Military Coup

Statement Regarding Calling For A Military Coup

Bill Collier May 31, 2021

The Freedomist disavows and rejects, and we condemn, a statement by former General Michael Flynn in which he agreed that a military coup was necessary, allegedly over election fraud.

Calling for a military coup in this country at this time, or any time, is reprehensible and beyond the pale. We have voiced a suspicion that authoritarians on the left might use the January 6 storming of the US Capitol during election results counting to criminalize their opponents. We are equally suspicious of authoritarians on the right who would use the pretext of election fraud allegations to excuse such a totalitarian response.

General Flynn is being irresponsible, perhaps seditious, in fact calling for a military coup IS sedition, just as all the attacks by leftist authoritarians during the previous administration using the Russia collusion narrative.

Authoritarianism is always wrong and cannot be tolerated.

We call on General Flynn to renounce his statements supporting a military coup and we urge the authorities to investigate whether any laws were broken. Supporting President Trump does not justify such seditious langauge, period, and President Trump should denounce such talk immediately.

Supporting President Trump does not justify this kind of seditious language.

“I want to know why what happened in Myanmar can’t happen here?” an attendee asked Flynn during a Q&A session at a conference called the “For God & Country Patriot Roundup” in Dallas, Texas, on Sunday.

“No reason. I mean, it should happen here,” Flynn responded, to cheers from the crowd.

Inflation Is Theft And Stems From Amorality In Familial Virtues

Inflation Is Theft And Stems From Amorality In Familial Virtues

Bill Collier May 19, 2021

By Bill Collier- We are experiencing inflation, worse than is being portrayed. But what is inflation and what is its genesis? In short, inflation is wealth redistribution (theft) from the many to the few.

We posit the proposition that the genesis of inflation, however, is amorality which itself comes from immorality in matters familial. A society whose morals and virtues do not tend to favor, nurture, and promote parents raising their own biological children in a loving home, or adopted children, is a society set on the path to self-destruction! To be clear here, we are talking about personal, and freewill, moral choice, not the imposing of such morals by the government or even corporate pressures.

The true ruling class use the government to print money and rob you blind!

Let’s explore this a bit further.

Inflation IS NOT simply “an increase in price”, that is the EFFECT. Inflation is an increase in money supply which leads to a decrease in the value of each unit of currency OR it can be a loss of wealth/value in relation to the supply of currency.

Here is a vastly over-simplified view of inflation. If wealth equals 100 units but you have 200 units of currency, then currency equals .5 units of currency and prices rise relative to each unit. If you then increase value to 200 units without increasing the money supply, then each unit rises in value to 1 unit and prices then fall relative to each unit.

It’s not quite that simple, but this gives you an idea of how it works in the macro reality.

What’s happening NOW is that each unit of currency is losing value relative to wealth because the money supply is increasing. This is called things like “quantitative easing”, which is basically printing more currency. Again, if wealth is increasing, as the population and productivity grow, this isn’t a bad thing per se, but if this outpaces wealth creation or if wealth contracts, inflation occurs.

An arbitrary increase in money supply, without a commensurate increase in wealth, transfers wealth from the many to the extremely few. The ruling class gets control of more wealth and average workaday people see their savings and incomes decrease in value. Prices increase and people fall further behind and further in debt.

This is INTENTIONAL.

The recent attacks on crypto, led by nouveau rich snob Elon Musk, are basically an assault on forms of wealth storage and exchange that might compete with the fiat currency controlled Soviet-style by the ruling class who control things like the Federal Reserve and the central banks!

Elon Musk is a ruling class snob, his brand is a fiction. But the fact he CAN lead such an arbitrary assualt on crypto for the flimsiest of fake reasons, proves that crypto hasn’t evolved sufficiently yet. Discard him as anyone but a ruling class snob without any humanity, but don’t blame him for the failure of crypto at this moment.

Crypto WILL overcome and evolve and weather his assaults. Ultimately, the very real demand for some storage of as well as a free and voluntary exchange of value for mutual and equitable benefit not easily controlled by the ruling class will power through such miscreants like Elon Musk, who is in way over his pathetic little head.

Technological innovations will favor the poors and disfavor the ruling class, over time, but, we posit, only on a strong foundation of moral virtue adopted on a purely voluntary basis and within freewill participatory associations. Again, we do not propose or desire, in fact we oppose, using coercive means to impose these moral codes on the unwilling!

To put it bluntly, let the amoral flounder in the consequences of their choices and leave them be! But, on the other hand, don’t let them demand public support when they fail. Don’t let them demand that we, the moral, be silenced or our rights to things like self-preservation, free speech, or free association be interfered with. The amoral often desire to punish or suppress the moral, to prevent them from living freely and speaking freely, because they know that the moral life will always outshine their amoral lives in every way!

Despise Elon Musk if you must, but he is not the problem here. The problem is the need for crypto to evolve and become more robust and stable. Once this happens and a truly decentralized but stable crypto emerges, perhaps as an improved version of an existing “coin” or a new crypto altogether, then the Elon Musk cretins of this world can howl and blow all they like, it won’t do a thing.

Perhaps a crypto backed by something other than mining and hot air is better, although more expert brains attuned to the nuances of currency and how it works will come up with the solution, eventually.

As for the inflation we are experiencing, it is all manufactured by and for the pleasure and aggrandizement of the uber rich, soulless, ruling class whose only gods are pleasure and power.

Here we arrive at the genesis of the kind of immorality that leads to such massive theft through legerdemain of the currency. But it’s not what you think. It’s actually about sex and inebriation, which are the TRUE “opiates of the masses”, designed to keep you and I distracted and weak in relationship to our true rulers.

Faith, but on a purely voluntary basis, as the foundation of familial moral virtue, also on a voluntary basis, is a strong defense against mass theft through inflation because depraved immoral people cannot easily rise to rulership.

For those who don’t think moral virtue matters in a society, this wanton theft of wealth on a massive scale is a symptom of moral and spiritual decline. A “world-as-spoil” mentality is part and parcel of the way the ruling class always behaves in a dying civilization!

Perhaps you revel in the “freedom” to pretty much get inebriated or stoned and to pleasure yourself with anything or anyone you like in any circumstance. Be aware that the price of this self-indulgent amorality is that those who rule over you also have zero moral constraint and will rob you blind without nary a tinge of alarm from their destroyed conscience!

Here is what we propose: The destruction of moral virtue suited to promoting a situation wherein most children are raised in a loving home by both biological parents (or adopted parents) leads to this kind of depraved ruling class theft of the lives and wealth of the masses.

Amorality and immorality don’t free you, as you are led to believe, they enslave you!

We affirm that, as we see it, no society can have justice in economics if its people, the basis of voluntary freewill participatory association, lack the justice of a familial standard of behavior which practices normal, civilized moral constraint in matters of marriage, parenthood, familial trust, mutual support, and, yes, sexuality and inebriation.

The over-stimulation of society through sex and inebriation without anything more constraining than self-pleasure leads to the kind of immorality that can justify the wanton theft of wealth through manipulation of the currency, including simply printing more currency for abritrary reasons. This doesn’t means all sex or inebriation are bad, or any should be outlawed. It’s more about focus, emphasis, and balance.

The solution isn’t “there oughta be a law!” It isn’t “outlawing sex outside of marriage between one man and one woman” or outlawing alcohol or drugs. You cannot use law to create moral people! Moral people don’t need a law in order to choose and follow a moral code! There are many things the law allows that moral people simply refuse to indulge in.

The problem is spiritual and comes down to choice among individuals and their own freewill participatory associations. If people choose a right and just moral code rooted in love and truth, and if the terms and standards of their freewill participatory associations are rooted in such moral codes, they will also prosper in economic matters and not easily be robbed.

If such a familial based moral code becomes the norm, again not by laws but by choice, then the type of people who rise to some level of rulership will be better people who would recoil at this kind of wanton, depraved, theft of their fellow citizens. Moral virtue doesn’t need laws and regulations to impose itself, it only needs an honest and free discourse and the absence of laws and policies or corporate pressures designed to promote amorality and to shun, cancel, or outlaw those who practice and promote moral virtue.

As you see your wealth assaulted by and transferred to the ruling class, consider your own moral code and that of those you primarily associate with. Consider that the very seeds of depravity that led to such theft may have first begun to be sowed in your own attitudes about things related to familial moral codes or your own preference for self-indulgent pleasure without any constraints.

We must stress, nobody is suggesting we pass laws that create prohibitions or regulate who you love or how you live. Passing laws to punish people who don’t follow a moral code that nurtures familial bonds and personal probity won’t fix this and may actually violate human freewill.

On the other hand, we see our ruling class today passing laws, enacting regulations, or applying corporate pressure (such as deplatforming or cancelling people) to prevent people from promoting and defending moral virtue and organizing their own freewill participatory associations around such a moral code. This is reprehensible and constitutes a crime against nature, humanity, and God.

The truth is, the spiritually and morally depraved ruling class are not terrified that the morally virtuous might seek to pass laws that impose our way of life. They know this is not our desire, because we find that to be immoral. The truth is that the spiritually and morally depraved ruling class are terrified that if we are merely left to promote, practice, and build our freewill participatory associations AROUND our moral virtue that the fruits thereof will tend to attract most people and expose the paucity of the fruits of an amoral life.

Inflation is immoral when used to rob the many to benefit the few. But this kind of immorality has its genesis at the point where the kind of moral virtue that tends to promote strong nuclear and extended family virtues is not only shunned but its practices and promotions are virtually outlawed.

When someone says “marriage is only one man and one woman for life, unless cheating, abuse, or abandonment occur” and they are shunned and shamed or canceled, this is the ruling class laying a foundation for massive depraved immorality that justifies the legerdemain of inflation.
