    SEPARATE: THERE IS ISN’T ANY ‘US’ ANY LONGER

    There is no “us”, because we demonstrate want and need for different commons. A government provides no other function than the production of commons. A democracy constitutes a monopoly on the production of commons. Ergo, the only possible solution to a demand for different commons is separation.

    Revote, Separate, Prosper, Speciate.

    Democracy is a means of selecting priorities in the production of commons between those of common interests, wants, and needs.

    A market is a means of selecting preferences in the production of the private and common among those with different interests wants and needs.

    A market for physical, normative, and institutional commons requires separate governments, where differences between groups are ameliorated by trade policy.

    Democracy over a heterogenous population is just monopoly tyranny.

    We can once again afford to separate, and speciate. And democracy is merely a false religion that prohibits our individual and group fulfillment.

    A LICENSE FOR PROPAGANDA, SOPHISTRY, AND DECEIT

    Free truthful speech is one thing, free speech – meaning speech that needn’t be warrantied to be truthful – is just a license for propaganda, sophistry, and deceit. Which is precisely what we see.

    EASTERN WISDOM (I)

    by Daniel Gurpide

    The habit of contrasting the crude materialism of the West with the spiritualism of the East needs to be revised. The great Asiatic civilizations developed in a pre-logical era; the mind groped for truth through intuition, symbol, magic and mysticism. It was irrational. It refused to see the external world as an autonomous reality capable of being shaped and adapted through an understanding of its laws.

    The West, thanks to the Greek genius, succeeded in rising to the level of rational thought, founded on respect for a principle of no concern to the Oriental mind, the principle of contradiction. By associating the Hellenic Logos with the Roman Law, Europe realized a synthesis which, despite many tribulations, is still the most miraculous accomplishment of the human adventure.

    Assange is a journalist and protective of individuals identities, but assists us in ending the deep state.

    Snowden is a whistleblower protecting of our liberties and assists us in ending the deep state.

    Manning is a traitor for the sole reason that he did not resign before going public.

    Snowden and Assange are Heroes, and Manning needs to be in a prison cell.

    As far as I know, Putin is the richest man in the world at present at ~200B. Although it’s rumored that Qadaffi had about the same (I don’t buy it). That’s about the same as Ford. But less than Carnegie and Rockefeller. Gates had, and Bezos still has, a long way to go.

    UM. ELIMINATING TAX HAVENS IS BAD POLICY.

    Is eliminating corporate tax havens such a good idea?

    Juan Carlos Suárez Serrato says maybe not:

    —“We show that eliminating firms’ access to tax havens has unintended consequences for economic growth. We analyze a policy change that limited profit shifting for US multinationals, and show that the reform raised the effective cost of investing in the US. Exposed firms respond by reducing global investment and shifting investment abroad — which lowered their domestic investment by 38% — and by reducing domestic employment by 1.0 million jobs. We then show that the costs of eliminating tax havens are persistent and geographically concentrated, as more exposed local labor markets experience declines in employment and income growth for over 15 years. We discuss implications of these results for other efforts to limit profit shifting, including new taxes on intangible income in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.”—
