    RE: Treasury Backed Mortgages At Low (Zero) Interest

    It is an obvious deterministic necessity – where folks like us are frustrated that it takes so long for the institutions to catch on to the crayon-level solution to a long-term problem. šŸ˜‰ And then to congratulate themselves, claim brilliance and leadership for recognizing the sky is blue.

    That’s another way of saying that those of us who understand history, economics, and behavioral science are doomed to suffer the incompetence of the majority who don’t. šŸ˜‰

  • WHY DO WE HAVE MARRIAGE LICENSES? AND WHAT IS A MARRIAGE FOR THAT MATTER? (Histo

    WHY DO WE HAVE MARRIAGE LICENSES? AND WHAT IS A MARRIAGE FOR THAT MATTER?
    (Historically, for the same reason we have title companies for our homes and automobiles, and insurers to protect those assets. Today to destroy our civilization from within?)

    TERMINOLOGY
    (a) License is just a term that the state can use, but that’s not its purpose. Most of the time, states use the term “Marriage Certificate” which allows third parties to verify the marriage exists and committments by both parties are enforcible.

    HISTORICALLY
    (a) Marriage was a contract between the sexes on one hand, and public marriage a committment by the people and the polity to insure the marriage by **non interference in the marriage**. Essentially a property right of both parties.

    (b) To protect the common good, the church then the government or both enforced the contract between the parties, and between that party and the public. The broadest funciton of the state is ‘insurer of last resort’. Much of what governments do act as an insurer. Regulation is by and large an act of insurance of the people gainst harm.

    (c) The state In it’s role as an insurer against harms by others, and with marriage crimes being common in history, including bigamy, undermining a marriage, and divorce, states had an interest in suppressing marriage crimes. So laws regulating divorce and the distribution of assets (usually children and what you brought into the marriage for the woman, and what he accumulated during marriage for the man (if anything).)

    (d) Given that families were one’s primary economic and survival insurer, and especially the insurer of the offspring, such that single mothers and abandoned children didn not brecome a hazard to local society, historically speaking **marriage was a union between families not just individuals**.

    (e) As such, as populations and mobility increased, notices were published usually in the churches (the “Bans”) to prevent bigamy and to ask the community if there were objections. (We still ask for objections in our traditional wedding vows today.)

    (f) In the USA where religion was inconsistent, and cross-religious marriage common, marriage licenses evolved because the state officials could conduct marriage instead of just the church. So in practice – a marriage license is a **record of a contract** that the state can enforce, and prevention of false claims that attempted to make the state enforce.

    (g) In the USA, the marriage license was expanded from preventing bigamy and limiting divorce crimes, and next used to prohibit interracial marriages, and later, once awareness of blood type incompatibility and its affect on children, and later to assist in shared credit and state benefits.

    THEREFORE
    1. Does the state have a role in enforcement of a contract and in defense of the asset of the marriage?
    … (Yes, certainly).
    2. Does the state have a role in determining how marriage may be used for circumventing law, abridging cultural norms and traditions, or other impositions of costs upon the community given that the family is the first of the formal institutions of any polity?
    … (Probably)
    3. Does the state have a role in determining if other than a man and a woman can engage in marriage? No historical evidence. No necessity. Same can be accomplished by private contract, including exchange of powers of attorney.
    … (Questionably.)
    4. Does the state have a role in ending the prohibition on the interference in a marriage; or enacting no fault divorce, forcing common property, or alimony, or child support?
    … (Absolutely not)

    The Progressive Administrative, Managerial State, in league with the left, and the feminists, have destroyed the institution of marriage, the family as insurer, and the public’s defense of that institution and contract – and with it the first and most necessar instituion of behavioral, social, cultural, economic, and political constructoin.

    Just as the left said it would – and did.
    So, what is the difference between war against life and physical capital without, versus war against behavioral and institutional capital within?

    There isn’t any other than the rate of destruction.
    It’s still war.

    Cheers
    Curt

    (NLI Community Love)
    Why Our Organization Succeeds

    One of the reasons our organization is so successful at producing work, and working together to produce it – and now, striving at putting it to practice, is that we are all on the hyper-moral end of the spectrum, and we love and respect eachother.

    In fact, I would venture that the people who stay in the organization vs those that move on, all do so partly because of the brotherhood (and sisters) that we’ve developed because we are full of love and moral conviction. Even when the truths we discover are uncomfortable for us (and certainly for others.)

    While we believe we are working to fix the problems facing the broken people, ‘the left and right extremes’, that’s why we don’t really have room in NLI for those broken people, all too often full of justifiable anxiety, frustration, anger and rage, because they can’t get past those feelings enough to abandon retribution instesad of seeking to do the right and moral thing for everyone – including the ‘evil’ folk who in our judgement need parenting and governing, and sometimes court, prosecution and punishment, until they are calm conscious, and moral too.

    Though you know, it’s rather apparent if you do this work for a while, that people often confuse what they percieve as good as moral, when it is very often not. I would say, that’s a normal human universal cognitive bias. It’s part of the normalcy bias.

    But the universe is evolutionary and merciless. The universe, solar system, the planet, and nature are not fair but brutal. And in that universe, life is not fair. But we can, at least try to make make it moral. Meaning we cannot accomplish all wanted goods, but we can with incremental effort, suppress all unwanted bads.

    Despite that many if not most people in pursuit of their presumed good ( really their personal advantage at the lowest cost and risk) will always and eerywhere act immorally at every opportunity that they can get away with.

    So it’s our job to finish the five thousand year work of western civilization in producing ascience of cooperation that we call the law, a constitution embodying it, and economy operating under it, and a society that is as moral as possible, given human abilities and frailties.

    We’ve actually done it. (No Really). And in restrospect, our founders, and their english predecessors, and their germanic predecessors, and their roman and greek predecessors, and thir corded ware predecessors, and thei indo european apreecessors had it far more right than you’d think. And far far more right than all other civilizations combined.

    It’s just coutner intutive.

    It means we all must bear the maximum responsibility for private and common, and create an perpetuate institutions that persist that responsibility – and this what ‘whiteness’ means: individual responsibility. Not individualism. But Individual responsibilty the product of which is the high trust society wa call ‘commons-osm’ instead.

    The natural common concurrent law of cooperation between the sexes classes and nations.

  • THE COMING MASS REVOCATION, DENATURALIZATION, AND REPATRIATION CITIZENSHIP While

    THE COMING MASS REVOCATION, DENATURALIZATION, AND REPATRIATION

    CITIZENSHIP
    While residency and citizenship have historically been two separate terms, for two separate classes. Meaning that residents are subject to via negativa legal defense, but only citizens are privilegd to participate in via positiva legislation and administration.

    Under modern mass democracy we have merged these two terms, granting everyone the franchise whether contributing to it, invested in it, responsible for maintaining it – and even granted it to those unfit for it, hostile to it, and aggressively seeking to undermine it. And worse, we have ended the use of houses of government as a market between the classes, and then worse, we have not created a house of labor or women when those classes have hostile interests to the productive, and territorial leadership classes. We have created a race to the bottom that has destroyed every attempt at democracy in history.

    So at present, Citizenship, meaning, permission to reside in a territory, being insured by the insurer of last resort – the state, contributing taxes and receiving benefits, is and always has been revokable – denaturalization into statelessness, just as defense by the people and the state has been revokable – a designation of outlaw.

    REVOKATION
    Historically, we removed the muslims from spain. We removed the jews repeatedly from most countries. We deported one another en masse during the era of nation state formation. All governments have relocated hostile, problematic, unfit, people around the world throughout history. More recently, the Dominicans revoked citizenship and removed the Hatians. We have departed kingdoms and territories (not countries) we had colonized, after forming them into countries.

    CRISIS
    It is almost absolutely positively certain that this process will repeat as soon as the anglo american unification of the planet during the age of sail, the industrial revolution, and the world wars that ended the age of agrarian empires – attempting to usher in the modern age of nation states, and the rules based interanational order that’s dragged mankind out of ignorance, superstition, poverty and disease. That order should have ended in 92, instad of celebrating the false victory and claims of end of history. Instead the enemy pulled out all the stops starting with the obama presidency, his invitation of a very selct and biased group of economists to the white house, and by doing nothing at all to prevent the rise of opposition abroad, while encouraging it at home – just as his church of hatred of white civilization had preached. He followed their scripture.

    The age of debt expansion ends with the age of population expansion. The age of hyperconsumption and redistribution ends at the same time. And with it the tolerance for those unfit for western civilization and it’s institutions of ‘whiteness’ – a term which is a hostile slur for our civilization’s institutions and traditions that indoctrinate and require each person bear the maximum possible responsiblity for both private and common – thus forcing all of us to insure everything in the high trust civilization or be deprived of our rights within it.

    PREDICTIONS
    I have an enviable record of prediction, and it’s not as if the movement we began in the early nineties, escalating in the early oughts, is other than expanding rapidly in the public consciousness as our experiment with the pretense of the end of scarcity and equality between sexes classes and peoples continues to hit the wall of the exhaustion of the few economic generations of temporarhy privilege created by industrialization and the anglo american unification of the world in trade – ending the age of agrarian empires and their monopoly on trade and trade routes.

    I have had a very difficult time with prediction over the past few years as acceleration and crisis drowns the data in noise impossible to peer through. I was very far off with China, who, I didn’t believe could survive this long. I was too optimistic about russia and had greater confidence that we would finally unite rusian resources with german technology – mostly so that Russia, demographically, and economically, could simply survive.

    I had expected a narrow Hillary election victory – and an administration fully completing the transformation to political Leninism (Hillary’s a Leninist are are most Democrats today) to cause a revolution that would spiral – and it was the proper timing for it to occur with the least harm – well before we encounter the 2025-2030(5?) coincidence of cycles that will without question create some sort of catastrophic reorganization.

    While Trump was correct on his international and economic policy (as well as immigration) and correctly restructured geostrategy and sought to repatriate and restore the american working and middle classes, (and while he was clearly not expecting to win, or he would have spent a year putting together a team willing to push through policy), he actually took wind out of the sails of the fomenting revolution, and caused the radical left and their allies in the democratic party, credentialist (deep) state, academy, and media, to double down an accelerate with the activist terrorism of BLM and Antifa. But covid gave them the excuse to destroy the economy and end trump’s achievement. Which, as I predicted and tried (at personal harm) to popularize and defend against, they then used to suppress all public political discourse as thorougly as the soviets then and the Chinese now. Again, label it as you want, but in technical terms it’s Leninism.

    So, while it takes a greate deal of general knowledge to predict long term trends and the intersection of cycles, it’s impossible to predict timing – almost entirely because it’s impossible to judge the rate of adaptation of the population to the circumstances at hand to the deterministic outcome that they’re heading into against their wishes or their understanding – and their overwhelming desire to bury heads in the sand instead.

    So since there are so many of us in the business of predicting these cycles now that for those of us with knowledge of the subject, our date ranges are converging.

    And some should take comfort in that we are, at least the anglosphere is, as naval rather than ‘world island’ powers, most insulated from the coming crisis. And in america we will profit from it.

    That said we will ether devolve as I have recommended and worked toward, into a federation that the founders intended, with common rule of law between states, and minimum rights within, yet total local control over social economic and cultural life – or we will war untili more than ten million – maybe many more – are dead. And while that is happening all the pent up wants and fantasies of those less moral than we, will be expressed as wars of aggression and predation upon one another, and the world costs of everything will reach levels that cause starvation to return as certainly and as thorougly as the black plague.

    So you know, I kinda want to fix this problem peacefully before any of that has a chance to happen.

    And we can’t do it until the public needs far less of a lever to motivate them to understand and willingly accept the necessary change” that the usa isn’t and never was a country, but a federation of countries, (states), agreeing to the same terms, so that we could capture this contient for our mutual gain despite our differences in wants and needs and ambitions.

  • The pathetic pettiness of (especially female) government employees. Because of t

    The pathetic pettiness of (especially female) government employees.

    Because of the new laws that require all IDs are exactly the same, and because I have an eccentric Anglo Saxon name and ā€˜nickname’ or more formally ā€˜alias’, I’m on a year long journey to reproduce all the identification necessary to exist in the USA as a legal entity. (Which is obviously an issue in and of itself that we need such things.)

    So today I’m spending my energy sufficient for one errand at the Deprtment of Motor Vehicles in Connecticut. Now remember, Connecticut aside from it’s history as the US Armory, most copied the Soviet Bureaucracy, and so is the state most burdensome, for both citizens and the few businesses that have not departed for the same reason.

    Now, in my preferences I generally go to the Connecticut shore where I have more chance of waiting in line with and being served by my own people, who will, knowing cues, address and serve me, knowing I will reciprocate respectably.

    But certain services are not offered there, so I’m in the one near Hartford, which is in a competition with Baltimore, New Haven Meriden and Bridgeport for turning once elegant Anglo cities of the puritans into sh—holes of poverty risk and nihilism.

    So, after sorting out my paperwork, I return to the front information counter to ask a question, where two young men of obviously MENA background are trying to explain that they have no car, spent a long time getting here, and will wait. They are demonstrating perfect manners, and respect, and good nature. Which is, in the end, all that should be necessary to participate in western civilization’s administrative burden – regardless of their cultural compatibility outside of it.

    While one woman has given up talking to them, and called in another more senior, they men are constant in saying they will wait, even though the mistake they re trying to correct is quite obviously one made by the staff who just moments ago served them. But the staff does not ā€˜save’ draft data, so the data must be re-entered.

    Now I’m reading this correctly in that the younger woman does not like these men, does not want to admit that the staff failed them, and wants them to go away and wait additional days for another appointment – in pure soviet bureaucratic fashion. (Which I have some experienced with. The difference is that you can bribe the ex soviet people overseas and they will happily help you – and it’s even expensive. )

    So the older woman is not even considering how to help these young men, but she is merely girl-defending her younger colleague.

    I’m watching this clown show and the rudeness and inconsiderate and offensive behavior against two young men who are displaying every semblance of pleasantry manners and respect.

    So finally the older woman gives in.

    And so I say to the two men, ā€œGood manners guys.ā€ And smile.

    Which of course inspires a look of hatred from the young woman at the station. Now, I’m next so I ask her to confirm my number because in shifting through my realms of paperwork I seem to have misplaced it.

    Fifteen minutes before, when another man was joyfully performing the same role at the same place, he looked up my name, and gave me a ticket.

    So, cunning little petty child that she is, she asked me for the number that’s on the paper in front of her. I said its right there. She responded with that I should give her the number so she didn’t have to look it up. Now at this point I’m laughing internally for myself, but just adding another grain of sand to the scale of revolutionary intolerance for the treatment of my people by those unworthy to even speak to them with other than love, kindness, and respect.

    We can very easily train people in customer service and stress de escalation as easily as we can train police in de escalation, but we don’t do it, and don’t require it for positions serving the public. If we did, the pay for public service and it’s quality would rise rapidly in concert.

    Cheers
