Freedom Fighter Net

Submitted by Bill St. Clair on Fri, 01 Jun 2001 14:54:56 GMT

Sierra Times - What if? - one of Henrietta Bowman's discussion groups. Worth a look. Strong stuff. I liked one of the posts so much that I saved it as De Facto vs. De Jure. Good legal reminders of the fact that any unconstitutional law is null and void. From another post: [sierra]

Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle! Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. -- Frederick Douglass, August 4, 1857.

Freedom Fighter Net is a very interesting looking place. Handle with care. I especially liked The Essence of "Nazi", a June 1995 letter to the Washington Times from Thomas Colton Ruthford. Freedom Fighter's RKBA page is also good.

Yes, indeed, I remember the Nazis and they weren't Republicans, or "right wing", or "patriots" or "militias". They were Socialist monsters.

anonymous at Ohio Valley IMC - REVOLUTION!!!!!! REBELLION!!!!! Or do we just call it a "riot?" - a fiery introduction to a CityBeat article on the Cincinatti rebellion. I've been tracking this IMC recently just for fun. Most of the folks there are big time anti-capitalists, which doesn't match my taste, but I still enjoy some of what they write. ["ovimc"]

Any liberal Republicrat who thinks public schools shouldn't be abolished and money transferred to PRIVATE, NON-RELIGIOUS schools hasn't visited too many public schools lately in poor neighborhoods. They are basicly minimum-security prisons with guards on most floors and floor passes needed to do anything. With ever-increasing bureaucratic layers over the bitter teachers who want evermore pay due to evermore stress dealing with evermore micromanaging bosses and layers of bureaucracy. With more money per student spent (if all costs are counted) than most other schools, public, private, or suburban. Cincinnati non-commercial radio station WAIF 88.3 FM has some great Afro-centric shows on Friday evenings. The shows recently had some great info on private black schools in other cities where the students are doing well, and aren't taught TO SUBMIT TO THE MAN.

Ryan McMaken at LewRockwell.com - Columbine Follies - the official report is finally in on the behavior of law enforcement at Columbine. Conclusion: they acted incompetently. Duh. Guess what folks. If you want to protect your life, you are responsible. Don't expect anyone else to do it. [lew]

Apparently, the preferred method of law enforcement at Columbine was to: (1) Make sure that no law abiding citizens inside the school carried fire arms. (2) If guns enter the school, seal it off and let no one out. (3) Stand outside "minimizing police casualties" while the killers murder all the law abiding citizens and allow all wounded victims to bleed to death.

Now let us compare this to law enforcement's behavior at the Branch Davidian complex in Waco: (1) Start yelling "Showtime!" and charge the compound with machine guns blazing. (2) If innocents try to surrender, shoot them and continue the destruction. (3) Gas everyone inside and burn down the complex. (4) Dismiss dead civilians as "religious fanatics".

Minority Mike at LewRockwell.com - GASAKI!!! - How do you kill a snake? Gasaki! Get a stick and kill it. Mike finds a couple of snakes that could use some gasaki. [lew]

Jeff Elkins at LewRockwell.com - The Deadliest Ally - claims that in 1967, Israeli war planes attacked the USS Liberty in international waters. Robert S. McNamara, then secretary of defense, canceled their rescue. They managed to escape with their lives anyway. Had any other country behaved this way, it would have meant war. [lew]

There are two new articles in The Libertarian series by Vin Suprynowicz:

"Let the Pork Wars begin" - Senator Robert Byrd has been threatening his fellow democrats with a reduction of pork for their states if they vote yea on gw's tax cut. Bring it on. Let's show them a real tax cut. 2 trillion per year every year.
"Another nadir in homicidal hair-splitting" - Vin's take on the supreme's recent medical marijuana ruling. The supremes had a good chance to declare unconstitutional the entire war on freedom, er... some drugs. They punted. To quote Gomer Pyle. Shame, shame, shame.
Because, you see, the entire federal drug war -- all of 21 U.S.C. -- is blatantly unconstitutional, and any high court obeying its oath to preserve our government of limited power (as opposed to insisting we prostrate ourselves before the majesty of the federal government's plenary authority, holding us down by the elbows while the DEA greases up and services us from behind) would have thrown it out in its entirety the first time they got a look at it.

History

Quotes

Government doesn't work. Never did. Never will. Can't. But there are lots of good people. Love them.

-- Bill St. Clair

The Atlanta Declaration

Every man, woman, and responsible child has an unalienable individual, civil, Constitutional, and human right to obtain, own, and carry, openly or concealed, any weapon -- rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- any time, any place, without asking anyone's permission.

-- L. Neil Smith

Reread that pesky first clause of the Second Amendment. It doesn't say what any of us thought it said. What it says is that infringing the right of the people to keep and bear arms is treason. What else do you call an act that endangers "the security of a free state"? And if it's treason, then it's punishable by death. I suggest due process, speedy trials, and public hangings.

-- L. Neil Smith

A Penalty Clause for the Bill of Rights

Any official, appointed or elected, at any level of government, who attempts, through legislative act or other means, to nullify, evade, or avoid the provisions of the first ten amendments to this Constitution, or of the Thirteenth Amendment, shall be summarily removed from office, and, upon conviction, deprived of all pay and benefits including pension, and sentenced to imprisonment for life.

-- L. Neil Smith

Based on 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, and some of its own empirical work, the panel couldn't identify a single gun control regulation that reduced violent crime, suicide or accidents.

-- John Lott, commenting on the National Academy of Sciences report on gun control laws.

Who is a libertarian?

Zero Aggression Principle ("Zap")

"A libertarian is a person who believes that no one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, or to advocate or delegate its initiation. Those who act consistently with this principle are libertarians, whether they realize it or not. Those who fail to act consistently with it are not libertarians, regardless of what they may claim."

-- L. Neil Smith

(Formerly called the "Non-Aggression Principle", or "NAP")

Why Did It Have to be... Guns?

Make no mistake: all politicians -- even those ostensibly on the side of guns and gun ownership -- hate the issue and anyone, like me, who insists on bringing it up. They hate it because it's an X-ray machine. It's a Vulcan mind-meld. It's the ultimate test to which any politician -- or political philosophy -- can be put.

If a politician isn't perfectly comfortable with the idea of his average constituent, any man, woman, or responsible child, walking into a hardware store and paying cash -- for any rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything -- without producing ID or signing one scrap of paper, he isn't your friend no matter what he tells you.

If he isn't genuinely enthusiastic about his average constituent stuffing that weapon into a purse or pocket or tucking it under a coat and walking home without asking anybody's permission, he's a four-flusher, no matter what he claims.

What his attitude -- toward your ownership and use of weapons -- conveys is his real attitude about you. And if he doesn't trust you, then why in the name of John Moses Browning should you trust him?

-- L. Neil Smith

Concise

"Tell me," I was once asked, "What do you think about gun control? Give me the short answer." To which I replied, "If you try to take our firearms we will kill you."

-- Mike Vanderboegh

Also from The Atlanta Declaration:

... like going to the bathroom, breathing, eating, sleeping, or making love, it turns out that self-defense is a bodily function one cannot safely or effectively delegate to a second party.

-- L. Neil Smith

This does not mean that "Marijuana should be available by prescription." It means that morphine sulfate should be available in five pound bags at the supermarket for a couple of bucks, like sugar... but probably in a different aisle, to avoid confusion.

-- Vin Suprynowicz

If you refuse to pay unjust taxes, your property will be confiscated. If you attempt to defend your property, you will be arrested. If you resist arrest, you will be clubbed. If you defend yourself against clubbing, you will be shot dead. These procedures are known as the Rule of Law.

-- Edward Abbey

The state can only survive as long as a majority is programmed to believe that theft isn't wrong if it's called taxation or asset forfeiture or eminent domain, that assault and kidnapping isn't wrong if it's called arrest, that mass murder isn't wrong if it's called war.

-- Bill St. Clair
