Today’s Anarchists

American AnarchistsWho are the real anarchist today?  Is it the Libertarians, Objectivists, independents, and liberty Republicans?  Are those who are creating the problems the same people who want to limit the power of government and eliminate any injection of political influence on all honest and voluntary interactions?  Or is it the Establishment Democrats and Republicans, as well as socialist and Greens who believe they can attain order in society by imposing regulations and rules to guide people’s decision making?

In this day and age when the meaning of words are distorted by those looking to cloak their true efforts under the guise of linguistic deceit, it is necessary to secure proper vernacular to limit confusion and secure a clear debate.  This is no less true in regard to the word anarchy.  Objective individuals who advocate for a society based upon freedom and liberty, a society unregulated by the whims of the majority or politicians, are sometimes misclassified as anarchist.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

The absence of control by government is not Anarchy.  Read more

Despite Trump victory, the Tea Party could still lose

Despite Trump victory, the Tea Party could still lose

tea party protest sign stop the change to socialismMake no mistake, unless the trajectory forged by Trump over the last two years goes completely astray, every consequential policy decision made by Obama is dead.  We of the Tea Party are vindicated, we successfully won the war against our children’s future and the benefits will be seen for generations to come.

Thank you to everyone who fought through all the bitter defeats in the Tea Party.  Thank you to those who fought hard and then departed, your inspiration and momentum at the beginning kept many of us fighting for years after.  Thank you to those who did not actively participate but knew in their hearts that what they saw and what they were told were two very different things.  We could not have won without your willful encouragement and support.

The Tea Party is by no means unified for, or of course not against, Donald Trump.  As a leader in the movement from its inception, I can tell you that my choice was never Donald Trump.  But his steadfast commitment to change the direction our country was heading was by no means unnoticed.  He did not act like a politician; which at times was embarrassing, but what the Tea Party needed, what America needed, was a non-politician who loved America as much as we do, with his or her blemishes and scars.

Obamacare will cause health care rationing, suffering, and untimely death

Obamacare will cause health care rationing, suffering, and untimely death

Both politicians and big business desire monopoly.  Obamacare over time, being one of the largest transfers of power from elected officials to a few select corporate entities, will narrow the field of competition among health Corporate Threat to Liberty by DonkeyHotey smcare providers to a select and politically connected few.

This is desirable by politicians because as citizens become more beholden to the state for an essential service such as health care, the more people can be controlled.  Big business equally desires this outcome because larger organizations tend to be slow to react to market changes, while smaller businesses are far more agile.  This small-business advantage is removed when a market is driven by political influence and not the will of consumers.  Such influence can only be bought and sold by those entities with vast and expendable resources.  This is the real advantage of being a large corporation, therefore such companies use this to their advantage and most politicians are more than willing to oblige.

This is obviously the intent and result of Obamacare.  According to Fortune.com, part of the Time Magazine network:

Based on current demographic trends alone, today’s dearth of primary care practitioners is destined to get far worse.  As a result, prices are rising, and competition is falling, as big hospital groups rush to hire all the primary care doctors they can find.  Once one or two big chains control most of the family doctors and general internists in their markets, rivals can’t find the troops to challenge them.  That’s creating oligopolies in markets across the nation.

John McCain and Obama by Grant Stancliff

There is no such thing as the political left and the political right. You’ve been duped.

Republican Democrat Red Pill Blue Pill by Héctor GarcíaThe goal of politicians and political parties is to prey on the apathy and ignorance of the public in order to achieve its primary mission: acquiring more power and money.  In any scenario in which organizations are in competition for the attention and resources of people, it benefits those vying for such attention to ensure their audience has as few options as possible. This is true for all organizations, and political groups are no different.

If there must be competition among those who deal in power and control, limiting the field to only two groups is obviously the optimal number.

This is a benefit to political entities because the fewer the parties or teams, the more chance a particular organization has to recruit more people.  For example, consider a scenario in which there were only two baseball teams in the entire country; one from the East and another from the West.  What are the odds that those who live on the East will purchase the souvenirs, team shirts, playing cards, and the nearly infinite number products of the team on their Coast?  Quite likely close to 100%.  Maybe some people who live on the border, or those that migrate from one coast to another will not, but without question the money to be made and the fan base to amass will be much larger when the market for fans is limited to either X or Y and no other.

US Capitol For Sale by Takomabibelot

Regulations and politicians, not free markets, make it easier for corporations to dominate

going out of business by timetrax23 smMany, if not most, large corporations do not desire free markets; in fact they desire regulated and government controlled business climates.  This is evident the moment a person honestly removes the rhetoric and emotion from nearly all arguments to the contrary, by simply recognizing the facts.

Free markets mean:

·  More competition

·  Easier advancement of smaller businesses

·  Quicker declines of industry leaders

·  Zero political favoritism

Those who advocate for government regulations are in fact fighting for those corporations that desire a monopoly, or at a minimum an oligopoly, so they may impose their will upon Americans and ever increasingly over our children’s lives.

Free Markets Mean More Competition

Free markets are exactly that:  Markets absent of any attempts to initiate coercion upon consumers or competitors. There are no dues, no forced joining of groups, and easy entry and exit to and from the marketplace. 

One may ask, ‘Without government regulation, who will ensure products are safe?’ Read more

Arguments to justify Obamacare are the same as those used to justify slavery

The fight against the ideology of President Obama and his flagship legislation, the Affordable Care Act / Obamacare, is waged by people with the same principles and morality as those who waged the fight against slavery in the United States decades ago.  This is evident when one considers the arguments made to justify Obamacare and those to justify slavery.

Upon examination, the two arguments are morally and ethically the same:

health care is a right by United Workers of FlickrArgument 1:  Health care, as concluded by slavery advocates to justify slavery, is a “right” . . .

The supposed moral premise of the Affordable Care Act and slavery are both predicated upon a supposed “right” to the life and property of others.

The book American Slavery explains that the concept of rights was redefined after the American Revolution; whereby the concept matured.  The idea of ‘rights’ started with the irrational consideration that rights only extended from specific liberties enjoyed by certain groups of people.  Later, the concept of rights evolved into a more matured concept–one that necessitates an understanding of the idea in which, by definition, a right cannot be a right unless it  extends to all people.  The author explains, “Although the Revolution fostered an abstracted sense of Rights – specific ‘liberties,’ enjoyed by specific groups, became a generalized ‘liberty’ belonging to all – many Southerners continued to use the term in the older sense.”

This is to say, prior to the American Revolution, to outlaw slavery would be to remove the slave owners’ right to own slaves and therefore a violation of their liberty.  The American experiment recognized the logical error in this reasoning over time and evolved the understanding of rights to the reality that the only way a right can truly exist, it must be applicable to all people and applied to everyone in the same way.

Objectivists: the term ‘corporatism’ is not a package deal

This article is an analysis of the concept of corporatism contrasted with the very important and keen in sights outlined in Peter Schwartz’s discussion titled Clarity in Conceptualization: The Art of Identifying “Package-Deals”.  This lecture is recommended by the author and is found here.

worship wall-street
Defending capitalism is not the same as worshiping corporations.

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the first known use of the word ‘corporatism’ was in 1890 and defined as, “the organization of a society into industrial and professional corporations serving as organs of political representation and exercising control over persons and activities within their jurisdiction.” Although this concept is not new, it is ignored by both those who champion government power as well as those who despise it.

It is imperative this concept be re-injected into modern society for no other reason than to accurately describe how and why the United States’ future is nothing unless citizens stand up and fight this real and hidden evil.

Today, “better access” to education, health care, etc. really means “easier looting”

Today, “better access” to education, health care, etc. really means “easier looting”

poptartexo mafiaWhen politicians state they wish to increase access to just about anything – health care, medications, education or whatever, they do not really mean “access” they mean a transfer of property from those who have earned it to those who have not.  In other words, they want to take property from one person or group for the benefit of themselves and/or to buy the votes of people associated with a special interest.  This is the common sleight of hand we see so often today when it comes to vernacular.

According to the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary, the dictionary for the origin of American English and definitions of words prior to being tainted by modern distortion and political correctness, access is defined as a “[m]eans of approach; liberty to approach; implying previous obstacles.”

In order to truly understand what this meaning implies, it is appropriate to look at the words that comprise it: Read more

What can I do to fight back against the cronyism of the corporatists leading America today?

It is not too late.
You can fight back.

912 Croud

The opportunity to sit back and hope that America returns to the principles it was founded are over.  Without a groundswell of opposition, the country and world we knew as young people is over for our children and grandchildren.  The progression from a few socialized services in which capitalism could support and continue to prosper; followed by ‘relief’ then ‘entitlements’ and finally with ‘Obamacare’ . . . the era of capitalism in America is destroyed.  We must proactively work to bring it back.

What can you do?

  1. Talk about corporatism to everyone when speaking about relevant problems in America today.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”  – Albert Einstein

Concepts drive perception and perception drives decision making. 

Most of the powerful in America today are using the media, government coercion, and corporate money to shape the concepts Americans consume every day.  The concept of corporatism is never debated or considered because such a concept would change the perceptions of those who vote and truly wield the real power in America:  The US citizen.

Yet evidence of corporatism exists in nearly every facet of US governance; from local municipalities, state governments, and of course the Federal government:

Obamacare is NOT about health care, it is about setting the precedent that corporations can legally use the taxing power of government to force American citizens to buy their products and services.

Bailouts for business ‘too big to fail’ is, obviously, corporatism.

Bailouts for banks ‘too big to fail’ is also, obviously, corporatism.

‘Disparate impact’ laws are an invitation to huge corporate construction companies and their lawyers to sue local municipalities into violating their own zoning laws in order to make millions of dollars in tax kickbacks for building “affordable housing.”

‘No bid contracts’ in which taxpayer money is handed to the politically connected without having to earn it is, obviously, corporatism.

. . . and so much more.

2. Write your local newspapers, contribute to this website, and promote all relevant content on every social media site you’ve joined as well as the email distribution lists and newsletters under your control.

3. VOTE INTELLIGENTLY.  Stop voting for the lesser of two evils.

4.  Question Everything.

5.  Sustain a moral code:

To sustain a moral code, one must understand their value system and act upon it every day.  Regardless of what is easier or more financially expedient to a person personally, a man or woman who sustains a moral code will always act upon what they perceive as a higher value over other options of lesser value:

Do you value the freedom to not buy the products and services of the huge corporations that own most of our politicians, over a supposed discount on health insurance?

If the answer is yes, you must oppose Obamacare.

Do you value choice and self determination for every adult, over government controlled monopolies that are forced upon every person regardless of their life choices?

If the answer is yes, you must oppose Social Security.

Do you value property rights and local sovereignty in regard to zoning, over money (in the case of construction companies), or “equity” in housing?

If the answer is yes, you must oppose “sustainable development” and disparate impact laws both locally and federally.

Americans lost their moral high ground.  We forfeited the gifts of liberty and justice that created our great nation for a quick fix.  To change our society we must develop brave warriors willing to stand up and speak the truth, so that more and more citizens are armed with concepts that reflect the truth and reality of modern American society.  Today, Americans are simply citizen subjects blunted by the lies and distractions manufactured by those in power.

When concepts reflect reality, society’s thinking changes and people begin to make better and more moral decisions.

THE FIGHT STARTS HERE.

America isn’t a corporate state, is it?

Images used with permission. By Glyn Lowe of Flickr and money by 401calculator full sizeAlthough the transition from an America built upon the principles of capitalism started decades ago, it was significantly accelerated during the Obama Administration.  It is evident that President Barrack Obama is a corporatist by virtue of the fact that he, all Democrats during his tenure, and many republicans were at least complicit if not instrumental in this fundamental transformation of America.
