    If law is logically constructed, the polycentrism equates to polylogism. Instead, non-parasitism, mono-logism, and polycentric discovery.

    We know democracy must fail thanks to Hoppe. That does not mean that anarcho capitalism can succeed. It cant. Ergo Nomocracy+Monarchy

    Q&A: “Curt; Do you have a concise definition for testimonialism?”

    Colloquially: “The completion of the scientific method for the purpose of the conduct of law”.

    Testimonial Truth: Testimony (Speech) that is warrantied by the speaker through the performance of due diligence against imaginary content, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, deception and fraud. The only truth that can exist is that which is spoken. We can never speak the perfect truth because we can never know if we possess it. The most perfect truth we can speak is that which we have performed due diligence, that we do not speak in falsehood: fraud.

    Testimonialism: A set of tests of due diligence, the satisfaction of which allows us to warranty that to the best of our ability our speech (testimony) is free of the falsehoods: error, bias, wishful thinking, imaginary relations, suggestion, deceit, and fraud.

    Truth: that testimony we would give if we possessed perfect (complete) knowledge, perfect language, and an audience possessed of the same – and at that point we speak a name, not a description. Everything has a true name. We seek it. In seeking it we seek truth.

    THE GENEVA CONVENTION AND KILLING THE FAMILIES OF TERRORISTS.

    It is against the geneva convention to kill a someone engaged in war on the behalf of a state. To say that we will not kill the family of a terrorist is to say that we are in fact at war with them. But the purpose of the geneva convention is to allow the states to engage in warfare using conscripts without those conscripts turning against their own in order to protect their families. This misapplication of the convention is intended to empower the states to fight war with conscripts, not create safe havens for terrorists. But that is what it does. So again this shows the necessity for strict construction in law and contract. Without this provision this law can be misapplied.

    Great interview with a magazine today

    Smart guy.

    What I heard was that no one wants to hear that the fix for Ukraine is to replace the judiciary and then use media and the law to prosecute and constrain corruption to the political sphere. That all governments are corrupt and that the only concern is to remove corruption from the economic sphere.

    That democracy is not a solution. That American conservatives respect rule of law and American progressives democracy and that these two are incompatible.

    That the only way to educate people is to use propaganda. That Ukraine needs a PBS or BBC to stay on message.

    Cheers.

    —“Charles I’s speech in his own defense when Cromwell and the parliament put him on trial” — Colin Laney

    “I would know by what power I am called hither … I would know by what authority, I mean lawful ; there are many unlawful authorities in the world; thieves and robbers by the high-ways … Remember, I am your King, your lawful King, and what sins you bring upon your heads, and the judgement of God upon this land. Think well upon it, I say, think well upon it, before you go further from one sin to a greater … I have a trust committed to me by God, by old and lawful descent, I will not betray it, to answer a new unlawful authority; therefore resolve me that, and you shall hear more of me.

    I do stand more for the liberty of my people, than any here that come to be my pretended judges … I do not come here as submitting to the Court. I will stand as much for the privilege of the House of Commons, rightly understood, as any man here whatsoever: I see no House of Lords here, that may constitute a Parliament … Let me see a legal authority warranted by the Word of God, the Scriptures, or warranted by the constitutions of the Kingdom, and I will answer.

    It is not a slight thing you are about. I am sworn to keep the peace, by that duty I owe to God and my country; and I will do it to the last breath of my body. And therefore ye shall do well to satisfy, first, God, and then the country, by what authority you do it. If you do it by an usurped authority, you cannot answer it; there is a God in Heaven, that will call you, and all that give you power, to account.

    If it were only my own particular case, I would have satisfied myself with the protestation I made the last time I was here, against the legality of the Court, and that a King cannot be tried by any superior jurisdiction on earth: but it is not my case alone, it is the freedom and the liberty of the people of England; and do you pretend what you will, I stand more for their liberties. For if power without law, may make laws, may alter the fundamental laws of the Kingdom, I do not know what subject he is in England that can be sure of his life, or any thing that he calls his own.”

    THE CHURCH AND STATE LIE. THE MILITIA AND JURY DO NOT.

    ***I suspect that very few people will understand either the central point: that credit money has been used to destroy us in order to justify democratic government.

    And even fewer will grasp the second point: the importance of our western discourse’s specialized languages for religious myth, moral poetry, amoral law, and scientific(truthful) politics and technology.

    Or the third point: that the western ethic has been unique in its predication upon the assumption of truthful speech, and that the success of the west in contrast to the rest was achieved when our truthfulness was not imposed upon by church in the medieval period, or state in the modern.

    Church and state lied. Science did not. And commerce cannot easily do so without defense by the state.***
