    The time has also come for us to consider seriously how to govern by rule of law, rather than democratic majority or authority.

    The time has come for us to consider seriously how to change our way of life not through prayer or religious teaching, but through education

    If you eliminate the possibility of political action then the civic society and the market are the only means of achieving one’s ends.

    Markets in everything.

    QUESTION OF THE DAY

    Why is it necessary for governments to legislate norms?

    Why do governments have the epistemic, moral, or practical justification (and this is where justification matters) for the legislation of norms?

    If we cooperate by natural law (non-imposition) then the civic society is the logical outcome – unless there is social devolution because of heterogeneity.

    Why should I appeal to the provision of commons (government) for that which is a natural law (court)?

    (Please avoid libertarian idiocy, and lets stay in the realm of social science. ie: why is it necessary?)

    RUSSIAN MORALISM? – THIS IS NONSENSE. PLEASE WATCH THIS (BALANCED) SERIES

    America is a well intentioned fool. And Russia is a paranoid fool. They are both fools. The solution for the northern hemisphere is to unite anglo law, german engineering, and russian resources and to diminish the role of america in european affairs.

    Russians must have an external enemy or the will be forced to confront the reality that they need none: they are their own worst enemies.

    Americans must learn that Russians are right in their emphasis on the family nation and culture OVER consumption. And that the american emphasis on CORPORATE state, and CONSUMPTION are antithetical to the preservation of Family,Tribe, and Nation. And Russians must wean themselves off of mistrust and ever present corruption by aggressively expanding the rule of law.

    The Americans must learn that all attempts to spread democracy have failed. And that democracy is a luxury good that results from the universal nuclear family, the civic society, the rule of natural law, the total suppression of parasitism, and the resulting high trust society – and not in itself a good, or the producers of goods.

    Americans AND Russians must learn that it is not governments and legislatures that create goods, but truth telling in the populace enforced by unforgiving rule of law that punishes violations of natural law.

    The British the americans, the Canadians, the Australians the french, the Nordics must learn that they are genetically and culturally the results of thousands of years of eugenic evolution and not the products of self- congratulatory high mindedness.

    So everyone (as usual) is half right.

    DEAR PUTIN: if you’re right just speak the truth. You’re right. But when you poison people in Ukraine and UK and you rig elections in Ukraine, and you invade Ukraine, instead of BUYING what you want with rich natural resources, you deserve what you get.

    When you are unclear with Naive idealistic american Bureaucrats and expect them to understand Russian ‘hinting’ it’s your own fault. When you don’t give them a plan for the integration of the circumpolar people into a united military and economic block you deserve what you get. When you let the worlds chief advocates of human rights into Georgia and you don’t fix corruption, then you deserve what you get. When you cannot clean up your own house which is so pervasively corrupt then you deserve what you get.

    DEAR AMERICANS: Your time is done. America is the end of the proletarian experiment. Now adults must take charge again in both america and europe. There will be no more democracies. There will be oligarchies and aristocracies, and various degrees of rule of law, becuase men are vastly unequal in their merit to one another. And women have demonstrated once again that they have no place in politics. Because politics is just war by other means.

    America is just as corrupt if not more so than Russia, China and Ukraine. What kind of corruption allows the degradation of the civic society, the nuclear family, anglo saxon rule of law, the constitution, in order to sustain the power of a central state that all of us despise?

    RUSSIANS ARE RIGHT ABOUT FAMILY AND CULTURE AND AMERICANS ARE RIGHT ABOUT TRUTH RULE OF LAW AND CORRUPTION.

    WE NEED TO FIX EACH OTHER. NEITHER CAN OR SHOULD OR NEEDS TO WIN.

    RUNNING A CITY IN UKRAINE.

    I learned a great deal about the challenges of running a city in Ukraine this weekend. Although I will keep the details private.

    But in the end all problems were reducible to the lack of rule of law and the incentives of political corruption.

    What I found interesting was the profound number of ghost jobs that are used to pay off those who appoint people to positions.

    So it is not that I have some passion for violence, but a passion to prosecute those who fail to construct liberty while claiming virtues.
