    Curt Doolittle updated his status.

    —“The very first adjustment, that I had to make, the very first time I set foot in the USA, was to redefine ‘freedom’. ‘Freedom’ here means ‘freedom to make money’ – the word has no other meaning. As an immediate afterthought – and ‘God’ is for those who stand in the way of that.

    I had just landed in Boston, that thought coincided with leaving the airport and hitting the first public road.

    In Culebra, a tiny island (Virgin Islands) in the grip of the Big Bald Eagle (USA), where I live now, ‘liberty’ only has meaning in the context of its abuse: to take a liberty.”— Paul Franklin

    THE ORIGINS OF PATERNALISM: WAR

    I have a terrible habit, developed over many years, from defending myself, my management and staff, and my companies, and out of pure necessity, of changing from argument to defense against litigation. In other words, from working with friends, allies, and customers, to fighting against enemies.

    Any politician, negotiator, or litigator develops this talent (and must), and many if not all lawyers must develop a lighter version of it.

    And that is to create a defensive frame (narrative) and speak and act within the defensive frame, such that all evidence that you leave behind in word and deed corresponds to the narrative.

    This is not truthful. It’s lying. But it’s lying in the context of war. Once you have decided you are no longer cooperating, nor no longer negotiation, but actively engaged in self defense by a hostile party with malincentives, there is no question of crime, ethics, morality or evil with one’s opponents. We are just at war.

    And courts are quite stupid really, and they follow the evidence (results of framing) and develop their frame (network of decidability) from that evidence. So in almost all cases politicians, negotiators, and litigators develop and leave evidence correspondent and consistent with the frame.

    I view this behavior on my part as (a) a result of my rather difficult childhood as defending myself from an abusive alcoholic father, (b) my obsessive study of weapons, warfare, and history from the second grade onward, (d) my early career work almost exclusively with a (((certain))) demographic (e) my membership in the “Wall Street” generation of Yuppies, and the litigation that resulted from my risk taking, and (f) My prosecution of members of said (((demographic))) by the Justice Department, (g) the later career constant defense of the company from frivolous lawsuits with progressive origins (h) self defense in divorce.

    In this sense I have a very martial (international) bias to my ethics and morality (pessimistic). Whereas the average person as a more familial and civic ethics and morality (optimistic).

    International law, and in particular, war, has no test other than reciprocity. It’s the family (female) and male (civic) ethics and morality of those who have had few resources, few responsibilities, and few risks of devastating outcome or exceptional reward that can afford to mistakenly extend the economics ethics and morality of the family and community of competition to the international arena of conflict, where the difference is not simply one of lost or gained opportunity, but one of lost or gained severity.

    For this reason, paternalism is necessary until such a point that all, or at least most men, are one again trained in the art of war, so that they understand the difference between the economics, ethics and morality of the family, the polity, and those against whom we war.

  • Going Full Fash

    GOING FULL FASH So yeah, as the day of revolution draws nearer, and the hate for my people has increased, and the threat to my people has increased, the genocide against my people has been openly promoted, I’ve gone “Full Fash” so to speak – just that it’s Natural Law Fascism. And in my understanding it’s prosecutorial, zero-tolerance, militaristic, expansionist, Natural Law Fascism – White sharia all the way. Why? (a) Cooperation is only valuable until non-cooperation is preferable, and non-cooperation is only valuable until conflict is more valuable – and conflict is at present more valuable. (b) Ethnocentrism is the optimum group evolutionary strategy. (c) Ethnocentrism under Natural Law is the optimum economic and technical strategy, and; (d) Natural Law Fascism is the optimum political strategy, and; (e) Ethnocentric Natural Law Fascism cannot be practiced by any of our competitors due to genetic distribution and rates of neoteny. (f) And lastly, we have, over the past 3500 years or more, dragged mankind out of superstition, ignorance, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, child mortality, early death, tyranny, and the vicissitudes of nature – kicking and screaming against their genetic, cultural, and personal wills. We are not heroes to our debtors. We are gods in the making. Truth, Duty, Reciprocity, Markets in Everything, and Continuous Transcendence into the Gods we imagine. I will not betray my forefathers, my people, and all those of my people who might yet come to be, nor the future of mankind, the Gods we might be, and the universe’s need for our gardening of it, because weak men and women fear the sound of our marching feet, our works, our voices, and the truth of our words.

  • A Comparison of Threats

    by Steve Pender What percentage of privately owned semiautomatic rifles in the US have been used in mass shootings? What percent of immigrant or first generation Muslims in the US have been involved in terrorism? What percent of unmarried fatherless black adult men in the US have been involved in violent crime? Only rifles are targeted despite there being higher threats. Why? Because fatherless blacks and Muslims can’t hit a treasonous politician from a few hundred yards.

    1. I don’t think we are fully grappling with the possibility that we could be on the on the cusp of a completely new era, a fundamental reshaping of the international order. And I don’t mean over the course of the Trump Administration. I mean by next week.

    Dan, This trend started in 92. the globalist universalist (socialist) era is over, and a return to a balance of powers and markets between nationalist govts is deterministic. Left overplayed its hand. Economic self interest.

  • WE WILL DESTROY THEM FOREVER We are going to destroy them you know: 1) Reinforce

    WE WILL DESTROY THEM FOREVER

    We are going to destroy them you know:

    1) Reinforce Trademarks, Eliminate Copyrights and Drastically limit patents.

    2) Outlaw lying in the commons by involuntary liability and warranty of words.

    3) De-financialize the credit system and eliminate consumer interest on consumer capital assets (residences and appliances and autos).

    4) Eliminate the transportability (escape) of debt instruments while institutionalize the rights to income from it.

    5) Reform shareholder laws to prevent hostile takeovers, and to equalize risk and exit.

    6) Restructure taxation rates to reflect risk. Eliminate double taxation of dividends.

    This will have the effect of destroying nearly all manipulation of the population and all rent seeking.

    This will be the greatest competitive advantage since the invention of fiat credit.

    It means that there are no rents that allow you to escape the market – anywhere. Even at scale.

    Taxes for entrepreneurs, particularly small and medium businesses will nearly disappear.

    Huge reallocation of intellectual capital.

    Huge reduction in propaganda.

    Huge temporary expansion of courts and litigation until enough law accumulates on the books.

    STARVE THE BEAST.
