SOVEREIGNTY BEGINS WITH VIOLENCE, MORALITY IS MADE BY VIOLENCE
—“Right is not the offspring of doctrine, but of power. All laws, commandments, or doctrines as to not doing to another what you do not wish done to you, have no inherent authority whatever, but receive it only from the club, the gallows, and the sword. A man truly free is under no obligation to obey any injunction, human or divine. Obedience is the sign of the degenerate. Disobedience is the stamp of the hero.”—
If we apply our wealth of violence to the suppression of free riding in all its forms, then we create the most productive and meritocratic moral code for any body of people that is possible.
But that result is an aristocratic moral code – a meritocratic moral code. Merit is to the disadvantage of the incompetent and degenerate. Christianity is merely a rebellion against aristocracy.
But unable to suppress aristocracy, and aristocracy uninterested in suppressing christianity, the west was a product of the dialectic between the christians and the actions, habits and traditions of the aristocracy.
Might makes whatever right it’s wielder chooses to. But there is only one optimum moral principle available to man, to which we all adhere to different degrees: upon choosing not to use violence, and instead to cooperate, we create the problem of free riding. To suppress free riding we create moral rules. To enforce moral rules we create authority. By creating moral rules we create free riding by corruption. To enforce moral rules against free riding by corruption we must suppress the state. To suppress the state requires that we use violence to suppress free riding in all its forms: criminal, unethical, immoral, conspiratorial, and statist.
Might makes whatever right we choose. One can choose an objectively moral right: the suppression or free riding. Or one can choose one of the many others – all of which institute some form of free riding.

Unfortunately we can’t trust Russians with self determination. Everything they touch gets worse.

A COUP IS CHEAPER THAN SECESSION
Our nearest solution, as Thomas Sowell suggested, is probably a military coup. And of course they need a good reason. And you have to give them that reason. The problem with a coup, is that the military, being the military, needs a plan. Because military folks like plans. One of our jobs, is to produce that plan. That plan isn’t actually all that complicated. It has to be something that the military can do in 30 days or less. And not one that tries to solve everything.
COSTS FROM LEAST TO MOST EXPENSIVE
1) NULLIFICATION
2) COUP (RESTORATION)
3) SECESSION
4) REVOLUTION

If the Russians can conquer Ukraine because they think it isnt a real country, and really russia hasnt much claim to being a real country, then why dont we just conquer Russia? I mean, the chinese are winning in the east, the muslims in the south – so why dont we just take the west and russias resources, burn all their records and books and divide management if the territory to the eastern europeans?

If the president can nullify laws, then why can’t the states? or cities? or counties?
I need a stuffed animal called ‘nullify’ that I can hug at night.

GERMANY BLOCKED UKRAINIAN MEMBERSHIP. NOW THEY BLOCK ITS DEFENSE.
Like I’ve been saying for over a decade now: pull the USA out of europe and force Germany to return to its natural position, and pay its natural costs, of defending itself and europe.
–“”The Russian economy is a very weak economy. It’s based almost entirely on oil exports. The financial sanctions that are feasible would have an immediate and serious impact on a feeble Russian economy, and that’s what we ought to do.”
Unfortunately, not all of the allies of the United States are prepared to do that, Perle says.
“In particular, the Germans are reluctant to take any significant action,” he said.
“Ironically, the Germans helped land us in this situation when they refused to consider inviting Ukraine into NATO. If Ukraine were a NATO member, we wouldn’t be in this situation we are in today.”
Perle said the U.S. must be prepared to work with sanctions that do not involve military intervention, which “one always worries can spin out of control.”
“Financial sanctions on Russia are the obvious thing to do,” he said.
“So, I would hope that our less reluctant allies would put some pressure on our more reluctant allies and persuade the Germans in particular that it’s time for them to play a role, commence with their power and authority.””–

ARISTOCRATIC EGALITARIANISM RETURNS?
It’s been an interesting spring.
We learned that international law is an illusion and that only the ability to use economic and military power determines policy.
We learned that the only means of controlling the government is if armed civilians encircle and threaten their oppressive government thugs.
We learned that western governments do not live up to their promises to defend the desire for freedom of people who give up their arms.
We we learned that nuclear weapons are the only guarantee of self governance.
The source of liberty is the organized application of violence by a minority willing to die to deny military, political and economic power to the state.
Violence is a virtue. Violence is the first and most important form of wealth.
Invest your violence wisely.
Use it against the state.
A militia of every able bodied male is the only guarantee of liberty.
