POWER AND VOICE Laconic speech is a luxury of power. The spartans could speak as such because they mastered and made universal, martial epistemology. Most speech is either political or deceptive. The spartans needed neither. Seek power for the freedom to speak laconically. Laconic speech requires deep knowledge of the subject, extraordinary honesty, extraordinary insight, and an audience of nearly equal ability, whose experience and sentiments mirror the speaker’s. It’s wisdom is lost on the idiots. Seek the wise, so you have others to speak to. I think the modern version of laconic speech is the aphorism – which nietzsche mastered (and I try to). It allows us to speak of that which others may not yet comprehend, where the laconic merely cuts through dishonesty and posturing. It is *extremely difficult* to speak in laconic voice or aphoristic prose and it is probably, other than poetic rhyme, and poetic song, our greatest intellectual art.

Nationalism
Nationalism: If you cannot hold a territory (country) and form a state( monopoly) then the market for territorial monopoly has spoken: you are a failed people. A Country, meaning a State, either serves nation tribe clan and family, or it destroys nation, tribe, clan and family. It’s not that a state is a bad thing. It’s that commercial revenue interests evolve to trump the interests of nation, tribe, clan and family.

Never Has An Empire Been More Fragile
NEVER HAS AN EMPIRE BEEN MORE FRAGILE There is no natural gas, electrical, or electronic infrastructure that can survive a magazine of steel core 7.62 ammunition. There are no transformers that can survive a collision with a pickup truck. There are no poles that can survive a man with a chainsaw. There is no physical infrastructure than can sustain loss of water pressure and five gallons of gasoline, and a match. There are no railways that cannot be stopped by simple removal of rails. There are no drivers willing to transport goods under threat of snipers, road spikes, and hijacking. America is vast and dependent upon energy and that is its weakness THE RULE OF THREES Three seconds without blood, three minutes without air, three days without water, three weeks without food, three months without commerce, three quarters without government. It takes about three weeks to a month to collapse a country. Because people fall of their own weight, economies fall of their own weight, countries fall of their own weight. Empires fall of their own weight. Civilizations fall of their own weight. SMALL ACTIONS IN ENOUGH NUMBERS PRODUCE VAST CONSEQUENCES It takes a few hundred if not a few thousand men to conduct a revolution. and all retaliation against those few hundred, or thousand men, by opposition or the state, will accomplish is acceleration. Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine.

The Limits of Political Protest (‘NFL and Kneeling’)
THE LIMITS OF POLITICAL PROTEST 1 – There are limits to interpersonal action – that is the meaning of ‘ethical‘. 2 – There are limits to social action – that’s the meaning of ‘moral‘. 3 – There are limits to political action – that is the meaning of ‘sacred‘.
1 – There are circumstances that are ethically constrained and circumstances that are not. 2 – Circumstances that are morally constrained and circumstances that are not. 3 – Circumstances that are sacred and constrained, and circumstances that are not. Festivals, Rituals, Churches, and Courts are sacred because the function of these venues is to deprive us of individualism such that we bond in equality outside of the competitive markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, commons, and political power. These venues are not markets. We have markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, commons, and political power. We agree to, and are habituated to, peaceably compete in those markets only because we agree to preserve the sacred, the moral, and the ethical outside of them. We balance market differences with ethical, moral, and sacred equalities. These venues are for demonstration of self sacrifice for the development of trust among super predators that cohabitate in close proximity. To politicize festival and ritual is to violate the ethical, moral, and sacred and to create division in that medium the sole purpose of which is to unite us. If you destroy our means of sacredness, morality, and ethics, then you destroy our ability to trust one another. It is precisely the function of ethical, moral, and sacred conditions that allow us to develop the trust that is necessary for personal, social, and political mindfulness, and the consequences of our trust or lack of it. And that is what has been happening – by design – since the 1960’s. The left has worked diligently to undermine the ethical (truth), the moral (family and responsibility), and the sacred (limits to selfishness). The only step after violating the sacred is civil war. The fact that anyone would violate sacredness and politicize a festival (Ritual) is simply evidence that we are already in a cold civil war. And we are very close to a hot civil war that will tear it all to pieces. -
