    1) Visualization is very close to doing. Visualize. Plan. Rehearse. Do.
    2) One can visualize violence, destruction, raids, entrapment, clearing, and patrols.
    3) One conducts incrementally increases the level of response from violence to destruction, to raids, to entrapment, to clearing, to patrols.
    4) So one PLANS ‘missions’ consisting of acts of violence, acts of destruction, acts of raiding, acts of entrapment, acts of clearing, and acts of patrol.
    5) Make plans consisting of a very simple lists. The type of mission. The Things needed. The places to obtain them. the Men needed. and very clear steps for who is responsible for what actions. The preparation phase, the start phase, the action phase, the defensive phase, and the retreat to safety phase.
    6) To construct a plan you need intelligence on weak points. Weak points are radio, television, cable, network/internet hubs, power lines, transformers, power stations, high tension lines, trucking and rail routes for shipping goods. Bank locations, armored car stations and routes, police ‘resting positions’, police cars (they are costly and time consuming to replace), police stations. weapons stores, arsenals, guard arsenals.
    7) To execute a plan you need to collect people and rehearse it together. This requires networking.
    8) To hold territory you need intelligence on the organization: Names, Residences, Work addresses, commute routes. Family members. Schools.
    9) We require a database and distributed web sites to collect this information (in progress – organized as a sort of ‘game’. )

    To sustain yourself:
    Stockpile Six Weeks of Food and water (Mormon Style:simple).
    1000 rounds of ammunition. Even .22 is enough – use guns to get better guns. A .22 a baseball bat. a hand-made padded wood or tin shield, a heavy kitchen knife, molotov cocktails, and a motorcycle helmet are all the equipment you will need.

    Strategy
    0) Disable the economy and the ability to rule.
    1) Entrap and Kill enforcers who will not stay home.
    2) Hang/Impale leadership and use families against them.
    3) Overwhelm but do not harm emergency services

  • Curt Doolittle updated his status.

    (FB 1544738721 Timestamp) CHRISTIANITY AND THE FUTURE OF OUR PEOPLE —“Curt Doolittle what is the subject for which a man who is a Christian is unable to detach himself from his superstitions for a movement to consider the matter from the scientific perspective you put forth?”—Mitchell Ryan If I understand correctly 1) abrahamic argument (lying), 2) limiting our ability to outlaw abrahamic argument (lying), 3) limiting the possibility of restoring kin “worship”(debt), and therefore our defeat of the left’s replacement if christianity with universalism (multiculturalism rather than heaven), marxist multicultural democratic socialism (rather than markets and prosperity), postmodernism’s sophism )rather than semitic supernaturalism), and feminism(rather than christian submission.) In other words, our enemy in the current world uses abrahamism today, just as our enemy used abrahamism in the ancient world – for the same ends: destruction of civilizations. Now, neither our deism (organization of the universal laws of nature), nor the church’s natural law, nor jesus’s teachings, when stated truthfully (scientifically) are false, or bad, nor will they produce other than the optimum good if stated scientifically. But we are in fact indebted to our ancestors, first and foremost and will not fall prey to the evils of abrahamic faith, and only repaying that debt with recognition (worship) and prohibiting the use of abrahamic deceit by lying, fraud, sophism, superstition, magic, false promise, straw man criticism of tripartism, and the natural hierarchy of meritocracy, and worship(thanks) to our ancestors and future generations, and the beauty of the natural world, and our rescue of mankind from the hostility of that universe, and our ascent into gods ourselves as we take dominion over the universe. Ergo, yes, if you choose, walk in jesus’ footsteps as i walk in aristotle’s, others walk in aurelius’, others walk in alexander’s, or but not those others that walk in abraham’s, or buddha’s or mohammed’s. And separate Jesus’ simple lesson from the industrialized system of semitic lies that was built around it. God is the name of man-yet-to-be. And jesus (the rebel) but one more of the philosophers of the ancient world like his peers zeno(the achiever), epicurus(the appreciative) and buddha(the denier), mohammed (the destroyer) trying to organize a resistance movement against the alienating pressures of markets, reason, truth, and law, and prosperity brought about by european man. Each of whom was speaking in the ancestral stories and strategy of his people, seeking to find love, and membership, and place in a world where the family, clan, and tribe, was no longer able to to provide insurance, material support, emotional, psychological feedback, and ‘safety in the pack’ amid the era’s globalization and endemic malthusian poverty. But the abrahamic technique of deceit produces ignorance, poverty, and dark ages, all of which prevented rather than advanced into godhood. Conversely, it is the natural law of western man that is most identical to the laws of the universe, and all of the prophets have been wrong. There is no substitute for truth, action(duty), sovereignty, reciprocity, law, markets, and the exhaustive investment in possibility those who live within them – and exhaustive persecution of those that do not. That I know of, you have no right to worship against the interests of your people. So if you can accommodate the combination of jesus as a philosopher to learn the optimum means of cooperation from, and our ancestors to worship in our ascent into godhood, and your people in our ascend into godhood then this is compatible with the continuous ascent of our people from beast to gods by our law – the natural law. Then that is one thing. But if you insist on the lies of the abrahamists and the method of lying of the abrahamists to do it, then it is incompatible with our law, and a hindrance to our people. I worship our god. I talk to our god every day. I do not know his name. I know he is the god of our people. I do not know his form. I do not know his power. I know only his counsel. I love the ritual of church and our festivals. Although I am keenly aware that they are the equivalent of costumed soviet stage plays – mere marxist covers over our traditional love of ancestors, the seasons, the harvests, and nature’s bounty. I practice christian forgiveness and charity although I am aware that it is stoicism that was absorbed by the authors of christianity into the christian religion. I recognize jesus as a philosopher who, through the efforts of his disciples rather than he himself, transformed by design, the egyptian, babylonian, and persian and jewish customary law – in the form of wisdom literature – into a survival and resistance against the Greco Roman world, and replaced the great heroes of Homer, and the trials of achilles with the story of the jews and the trials of jesus. And any man who has read both will rapidly discover that we ended up with the worst of the two, when it is merely a comparison of the strong western man (Achilles) against the weak semitic man (Jesus), with Rome playing the unconscious, unknowing, bureaucratic fool. Christianity was invented to destroy. That we find use in the christ figure is merely dressing up Jesus in the garb of our own gods Sol Invictus of the late roman empire, jupiter and zeus and Dzayus Pitar of our Prehistoric Founding gods. So where you see Jesus and God, I see but the long line of our people rotating the same one through the Aryan, Germanic, Greco, Roman, and Eastern Roman(Greeco-Anatolian-Syrian-Jewish) phases. Our european ancestors replaced combined their gods with those of the native-european stone age gods, as the old and the new. Then they reorganized those gods with their prophet Odin at the top. The people of old europe (the balkans, Greeks, Anatolians did not either have odin, or replace their gods. The Etruscans were at least exposed to the old gods, if not new, or odin. The romans conquered the Etru. But Combined their gods with the Greek. The semitic revolt made possible by the overextended, weakened, empire, was turned against Rome by the Eastern (Greek Empire), who got her revenge through christianity – it was the bosphorus that was the prize trade route between wooded and wet europe and arid dry west asia. We have but one highest god – the sun god. We just have had leaders dress him in different garb for political purposes. Lies and propaganda told by men to manipulate the ignorant, the weak, the foolish, and the stupid. Our ancestors invented the combination of horse, bronze, and wheel, contractualism, and heroism. And with that realization that they were no longer mere men, invented the sky gods as their aspiration. From them we took Sovereignty and Reciprocity (contractualism), Truth and Duty (cost of contract), The One Law of Property (Tort), and as a consequence Tripartism (fight, administer, work), Paternalism (property rights). And with that set of inventions we have in three eras done more to drag mankind out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, hard labor, disease, suffering, and the vicissitudes of nature, and started our journey into the stars. And men have resisted all the way. So the question is, will you remain a prisoner of the lies of the abrahamists and allow your people to disappear from this earth, or will you join your people in completing our restoration, our defeat of abrahamism both old and new, and our ascent into gods we imagined. A PAGAN, A CHRISTIAN, AN ARYAN, A WARRIOR, A MAN TRANSCENDENT I am a pagan if 1) I accept the laws of nature as binding on all of existence; and 2) if I treat nature as sacred and to be contemplated, protected and improved; and 3) I treat the world as something to transform closer to an Eden in whatever ways I can before I die; and 4) if I deny the existence of a supreme being with dominion over the physical laws, and treat all gods, demigods, heroes, saints, figures of history, and ancestors as characters with whom I may speak to in private contemplation in the hope of gaining wisdom and synchronicity from having done so. And 5) if I participate with others of my society in repetition of oaths, repetition of myths, repetition of festivals, repetition of holidays, and the perpetuation of all of the above to my offspring. And 6) if I leave open that synchronicity appears to exist now and then, and that it may be possible that there is a scientific explanation for it, other than just humans subject to similar stimuli producing similar intuitions and therefore similar ends. As far as I know this is all that is required of me to be a Pagan. I am a christian if I have adopted the teaching of christianity: 1) the eradication of hatred from the human heart. 2) the extension of kinship love to non-kin. 3) the extension of exhaustive forgiveness before punishment, enserfment, enslavement, death, or war. As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be a Christian. I am an Aryan if 1) I proudly display my excellences so that others seek to achieve or exceed them; 2) I seek competition to constantly test and improve myself so I do not weaken; 3) I swear to speak no insult and demand it; 4) I speak the truth and demand it; 5) I take nothing not paid for and demand it; 6) I grant sovereignty to my kin and demand it; 7) I insure my people regardless of condition, and demand it; and in doing so leave nothing but voluntary markets of cooperation between sovereign men; and to discipline, enserf, enslave, ostracize or kill those who do otherwise; 8) to not show fear or cowardice, abandon my brothers, or retreat, and 9) to die a good death in the service of my kin, my clan, my tribe and my people. As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be an Aryan. I am a warrior in that 1) we will prepare for war so perfectly that none dare enter it against us. 2) Once we go to war, we do so with joy, with eagerness, and with passion, and without mercy, without constraint, and without remorse; And 3) before ending war, we shall defeat an enemy completely such that no other dares a condition of our enemy, and the memory of the slaughter lives a hundred generations. As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be a Warrior. As far as I know, if I succeed as a Pagan, as a Christian, as an Aryan, as a Warrior, then I have transcended the animal man, and earned my place among the saints, heroes, demigods, gods, in the memories, histories, and legends of man. And that is the objective of transcendent men we call Heroes. We leave the rest for ordinary men. And we leave those unworthy behind.

    WHAT IS A GOOD GOD? (AND ONE THAT CAN EXIST)

    —“man is the only god, and only if he makes himself into one.”— Curt Doolittle

    —“Sir, help me to understand this, from your own experience and I understand that truth is objective, no lies anymore like you keep saying, how can one make himself into a god? Thank you. Please make it practical for me”—Kofi

    Kofi – I am sorry to confuse you. It is very simple really: we (mankind) are slowly making ourselves from beasts, into men, into ‘demi-gods’, and into ‘gods’. Not as individuals, but together as humanity. One day at a time one year at a time, we slowly painfully with very much suffering, create power over the plants and animals, over ourselves, over the earth, and over the forces of nature. Our gods our just our visions of ourselves. And we are making ourselves into the gods we imagine. SOme of us imaging good gods, and some of us a bad gods. But we all evolve into the gods we imagine.

    Love to you my brother.

    Let me know if I must say more.

    —“Thank you, you should explain to me what a god is. And what constitutes good or bad god”—

    What constitutes a good or bad man? What constitutes a man who is good from a man that can DO good? What constitutes people who think and feel they are good, from a people who do good?

    There is a difference from thinking you are good, being good, doing good, and making a nation of good people, doing good.

    THE VIA NEGATIVA OF LAW (AND THE METHOD IN GENERAL)

    —“Curt: By stating it’s law that made western virtues, are you not only offering half of the story here? “—

    —“…If I see someone being raped,

    but do nothing to help….”—

    Then by law, “You failed to remove the bad”.

    Incremental Suppression: the discovery and canonization of ‘bads’ (violations of reciprocity) by use of the one law of reciprocity (tort), the jury, and an independent professional judiciary, provides the most rapid means possible of continuous incremental suppressions of free riding, parasitism, and predation

    The Natural Law of Reciprocity: the demand for Productive, Fully Informed, Warrantied, Voluntary Transfer of Demonstrated Interests (property), Free of Imposition of Costs upon the Demonstrated Interests (property) of others by externality.

    —“..confusion..”—

    Remove the bad: Every man a warrior, sheriff, juror, legislator of the one natural law of reciprocity.

    —“You’re conflating “good””—

    Anything that is not bad is good. Bads can be known. The preferential, the good (reciprocal preferential), are preferences. Whether they are preference or good is an opinion. Whether they are ‘bad’ and a violation of reciprocity is not an opinion. It is a fact (by Logical Necessity).

    —“Sacrifices”–

    No animal, including humans, demonstrates altruism, only kin selection, option buying, status acquisition (opportunity gain and discount), and reciprocity (debt) payment against status loss (and therefore opportunity loss). We cast this self interest as virtuous in order to acquire more of such behavior by grant of status to heroic display.

    —“…being good…”—

    Man is, by all evidence, amoral – preying upon or cooperating with as suits his self interest. Given a long time frame, it is in one’s self interest to cooperate because of the outsized returns on cooperation versus predation and boycott. One is ‘virtuous’ because all ‘virtues’ decrease the opportunity costs of cooperation and provide discounts on those higher returns. The fact that we attribute status (pay for with opportunity discounts [trust, recommendation, referrals], is merely compensation (investment) in the production of reciprocity by those with most evidence of it.

    |WESTERN CIVILIZATION| Transcendence (Evolutionary Velocity) via Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth and Duty, The judiciary of the natural law, and the consequential markets in everything. Where there the militia constitutions a private partnership and there is no state to perform the function of insurer of last resort, every man demonstrate reciprocity by performing the function of insurer of last resort.

  • A Question About Hoppe, and Private States as Corporations

    October 12th, 2018 1:56 PM (good read for libertarians esp, but all in general.)

    —“Hey Curt, I have a question about a subject I’ve been rolling around in my mind for a while, and you said you’re always happy to answer questions, so here goes: I’m starting from Hoppe’s incentives-based analysis which showed a monarchy is preferable to a democracy when running a State. What’s been bugging me about that, is how do you prevent the fall and decline of a new monarchy, just like the way all other monarchies collapsed?”—

    [W]ell, monarchies collapsed because of 1) gunpowder crushing the value of professional warriors who were committed to preservation of the hierarchy, 2) the conversion from agrarian production to trade as the source of wealth, and therefore the rise of middle/upper-middle class power and influence, 3) the failure to adapt to that power change at the rate it was occurring, 4) the french conquest of europe forcing the unification of germany, 5) the use of democracy by the middle class to seize power from the monarchies, by extending the franchise, 6) the communist-socialist movement, attempt to overthrow middle class rule and 7) the american prevention of the restoration of the monarchies after the first and second world wars: “There never would have been a hitler if a Hohenzollern had been on the throne.” I mean. Monarchies are still extant where americans(anglos) or communists(jews) didn’t destroy them. And those are the most successful countries. America wold not be in current position if she had a constitutional monarchy instead of a bureaucratic oligarchical presidency.

    —“Since there wasn’t any model I knew of in history (and that’s perhaps a dark spot you could illuminate) which answered this issue, I had to synthesize a new model, injecting some ideas from Moldbug’s formalism. “—

    As an aside, Most men, I would give the same advice: “Read more and deduce from a position of ignorance less.”

    —“Since the base rationale of running a State as a monarchy is keeping it in trust and for profit why not literally run the monarchy as a corporation? The king can be both the owner and CEO, the aristocracy can be the board of directors, and instead of treating the people like subjects, you treat them like employees, which keeps them more vested in the well being of the organization, aligned with its purposes, and leaves more room for meritocratic advancement.”—

    I guess I’m confused but that was Hoppe’s point right? That a monarchy was a privately held corporation and the territory and capital its assets and the people could move between these territories, and monarchies competed for productive talent (the way current states compete for rent seekers). Therefore the monarchy would have intergenerational incentives to preserve and accumulate capital (mutliple-producing-commons), where ‘rentiers’ would try to (and did) consume all that capital – and are now consuming even genetic capital. The problem is the difference between via-positiva (government producing commons), and via-negativa (law producing limitations on actions). As you grow from small to large the monarch like a ceo must distribute the labor of governance until his only remaining function is ‘judge of last resort’ in matters that cannot be resolved by others: usually great questions of the day, and whether to go to war. So the monarchies (france in particular) that modernized (Prussia, most germany, everyone other than france and italy which were endemically corrupt), were able to produce professional administrators (ministers) and bureaucracies (bureaucrats), that worked in the people and monarchy’s interests – and were successful. But as scale increases this becomes increasingly harder. So many small kingdoms (market) that trade is preferable to one large empire that manages (monopoly), except in war, but napoleon and russia set off the wars of expansion, with germany (wwii) trying to reverse that conquest of central europe (german civilization). The problem is in producing those organizations that perform the functions of investor in competitive commons and industries, justice, treasury, insurer of last resort. And the argument is that privately held services do a better job than do bureaucracies because bureaucracies are not subject to market competition. However, like all start ups, it may require a investment in producing the capability before the service is capable of functioning in the market. So the optimum appears to be in creating a monopoly bureaucracy until it is competent, then privatizing that industry by selling it to investors, while retaining majority interest (in control of it). Ergo. yes private market organizations that compete for the accumulation of intergenerational capital are in the long term in the interests of the people within them, just as collectivist corporations that constitute monopolies that consume all capital and intergenerational compaital are in the long term againsts the intersets of the people in them.

    Well that’s his point now, isn’t it? 😉

    —“There are also historical small scale examples where this was attempted in the form of company towns or campuses run by corporations, which as far as I know usually turned up pretty well.”–

    That’s libertarian nonsense. The only such organizations exist as border regions under the protection of strong states. No examples in history exist otherwise. Fringe players assume risks in order to settle border territories and hold them in the State’s name against settle ment by competitors, and in exchange pay little or no taxes because of the service they are providing the state. This same activity is not possible without state protection. this is why all libertarianism is nonsense: one holds territory because one can fight to hold it from competitors. That is reality. Economies make it possible to afford the men, resources, and tools to fight to hold that territory, and use the surpluses for consumption and capital accumulation.

    —“I’m really curious to hear your thoughts on the idea, and if there is any literature on the model”—

    Well now you have them. 😉 Your intuition was on but I think you missed hoppe’s point. Hoppe wanted to create ‘free cities’ of germany like rothbard wanted to create ‘free cities’ of ukraine. The similarity is that germany and ukraine were territories under the protection of great powers. And that is the only reason free cities were allowed: to hold (reserve) territory in the name of a power. Hoppe and rothbard both practice the same denialism: war is the most profitable industry for the winner. The military comes first before all other commons. The military makes possible rule of law. Rule of law makes possible commerce. Commerce makes possible wealth. Wealth attracts population and reproduction and trade continuously, and the military capacity and legal capacity must keep pace with the increasing demand by others to conquer and tax that territory.
