Musings of an Internet Terrorist
Where is the door to God?
In the sound of a barking dog,
In the ring of a hammer,
In a drop of rain,
In the face of
Everyone
I see.
I made photo pages for
Dog Number Two and
Halloween 2001.

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning. -- Ludwig von Mises
Somebody from the U.S. Treasury visited my site via a Yahoo search on dan hansen irs. He looked around a little and left.
U.S. Treasury - Executive Order 13224 blocking Terrorist Property and a summary of the Terrorism Sanctions Regulations - A huge list of individuals and organizations classed as terrorists by the U.S. government. The government will attempt to steal the property of anyone who supports any of these people or organizations, if I got the meaning correct from a quick scan.
Robert L. Kocher at Laissez Faire City Times - Armed Conflict in America, McVeigh and the Oklahoma Bombing, Part 11: McVeigh Was Not a Terrorist - Whoa, baby! You tell 'em, Mr. Kocher. We need more Timothy McVeighs, but with more awareness of potential "collateral damage" so that only the targeted nazis end up being neutralized. I understand well the first paragraph quoted below. If I ever see a roadblock like the one described in Al Martin's "Citizen, Can I See Your ID.", I'm pretty sure I will come to that point. I hope thousands of others join me. [grabbe]
There is also a mode of thinking that occurs among men of determined incisive temperament. There comes a point where they say, "Regardless of what else, regardless of the cost, this, THIS MUST BE STOPPED." After that, they go into a grim tough determined mode where they have made up their mind to the point where that is the way it has to be, and that is the way it had to be. It may not be the way they want it to be, or the way they liked it to be, but it's the way things had to be and the way things turned out. Military officers must make such ugly determined decisions and live with them. Physicians must do similarly. The ugliness of those decision are subject to highly dramatized criticism during debate or assertions. It's easy to point to the children killed at Oklahoma City while hiding behind inflammatory images and accusations.

This business about America the Beautiful with liberty and justice for all that you were taught as schoolchild is myth and always has been. There is no secure rule of law, and there never has been. There is no secure system of justice and there never has been. The only seriously functional thing there is, and ever has been, is serious absolute fear of public resolve and public physical retribution. Corruption and evil are the way of this world throughout human history. The world is a jungle with the hyenas attempting to gain control. Intellectual discourse with hyenas is not a deterrent to their nature or intent. Ultimately, the only defense against evil and corruption is capacity for self defense and instilling fear of inevitable concrete personal reprisal within those who would impose corruption and evil. When law enforcement, when the legal system, when the politicians, or anybody else lose that fear, the people lose everything including their rights and freedom—and eventually their lives. When fear is lost the result is disguised predatory anarchy by the privileged corrupt, concurrent with absolute regulation of the oppressed. There develops a criminal oligarchy that infiltrates and then perverts the institutions of law and government to solidify and enforce its corruption while superficially keeping the system in its original form. Inevitably the cry of the hyenas is that there must be respect for hyena law and legal process while knowing full well they have perverted the process. One of the first things to do when misusing the law is to demand absolute obedience to law. Reform is pronounced illegal.
Liz Michael - Did Timothy McVeigh Have The Right Idea? - Proposes some ground rules and key targets for resistance to a despotic government. Presents some tactics. When exactly it will be time for you personally to shoot the bastards depends entirely on your personal situation. But you should be prepared.
Two of the things we should, as patriots, clarify is precisely who our enemy is, and precisely who among our enemy we should be targeting. Because there are not enough of us to go around and target every single individual or group which could be construed as the enemy. Now, situations always change, another rule of war. But if I were a patriot planning to go to war against the government, there would be certain organizations, and certain people, which would be priority targets. Mind you now, I am speaking in the hypothetical: I am not "issuing any orders" to any patriots to do these things. I am merely, as a reporter and an observer, stating what a good patriot war strategy would entail.
There would be six key targets of a good patriot strategy to take back our nation:
1. Police and sheriffs' deputies and their facilities, local, state and federal...
2. Taxing agencies...
3. Propoganda organs...
4. The politicians...
5. The courts...
6. Child Protective Services Agencies...

Assassination of their operatives
Remember, we are talking about war and we are talking about oppressors. It is always moral to slay the tyrant. Sometimes it is not wise, but it is always moral. And when dealing with a bureaucracy, every agent of that bureaucracy, from its leader to the lowly secretaries, are critical to its operation. Assassination of any of them is just, moral and proper. Think back to Alexander Solzhenitzyn's statement: tyrants must be made to fear the people. Tyrants should be made mortally afraid to carry out their tyranny. Those tyrants who are not removed directly will be intimidated into being less tyrannical, or perhaps intimidated into retirement.
Do you think the IRS would be as oppressive as they are if an agent, every time he had to meet a taxpayer, didn't know whether he would return home to his wife and kids, or didn't know whether his wife and kids were safe. Do you think politicians would be so eager to pass oppressive laws if there was an impending death sentence hanging over their heads for doing so. Would you, if given the chance, have assassinated Adolf Hitler in 1932? Or Josef Stalin? Or Mao Zedong?
Remember that they are not afraid to assassinate us, whether we are the President of the United States (John F. Kennedy) or merely a citizen owning a piece of coveted property they want (Donald Scott). We should also not be afraid to assassinate them. For if we do, there will be fewer of them, and they will be more afraid to commit tyranny.
JPFO Alerts - Get it now: Death by Gun Control -- new book by Zelman & Stevens - Aaron Zelman and Richard W. Stevens have put in words the primary reason we the people must always have the right to keep and bear arms. James Bovard, Stephen Halbrook, Jacob Hornberger, and Larry Pratt contributed the intro and three chapters. You can purchase the book and read more about it here. [jpfo]
People in the pro-liberty, pro-self defense movement have urged us to put our whole argument in one place. We have done it. In an easy-reading format and a handy size, Death by Gun Control presents the JPFO message so anyone can understand and use it.
This is the message that the anti-self defense "gun control" advocates never try to refute. That's because they cannot refute the facts or the formula.
Here's the Formula: Hatred + Government + Disarmed Civilians = Genocide
Garry Reed, The Loose Cannon Libertarian - The Power of Babel - Only a lawyer could misinterpret the plain language of the constitution. And they continue to do it, from the local court room all the way up to The Supremes. When it serves their statist purposes, that is.
Oh those kooky, cut-up Founding Fathers of ours. They had their fingers crossed, chuckling and winking all the while dipping quill pens made from endangered species' feathers into inkwells and scribbling graffiti like "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech ..."
That, according to an AP story, is the way Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer apparently pictures the merry ol' Constitution writing party. Addressing a roomful of yet more lawyer wannabes at New York University School of Yet More Lawyer Wannabes, Hizzonor cautioned that "the framers did not say specifically what factors judges should emphasize when seeking to interpret the Constitution's open language."
Brad Edmonds at LewRockwell.com - YOU Might Be a Terrorist - The new "USA PATRIOT" act says, "the term 'domestic terrorism' means activities that appear to be intended to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion." I don't think I'm coercing anybody with this website, but some might find it intimidating. Does that mean I'm a domestic terrorist? If so, the revolution has already begun. [lew]
David Dieteman at LewRockwell.com - Gross Usurpation of Power - GW's recent creation of military star chambers for foreign "terrorists" is a gross usurpation of power. He has no authority to do it. He joins Abraham "Lenin" Lincoln as tyrant cum laude. [lew]
The only review will be by the U.S. President and the Secretary of Defense. No American court, and no international tribunal, will be able to review the acts of this Star Chamber.
The administration seeks to avoid the Constitution by applying the order only to foreigners, rather than to U.S. citizens. Guess what: that's largely unconstitutional as well.
The guarantee of due process of law is universal in its application to all persons within the territorial jurisdiction of a state or the United States, without regard to any differences of race, color, or nationality, when they have come within the territory of the United States and have developed substantial connections with this country. 16B Am. Jur.2d Constitutional Law § 928; U.S. v. Verdugo-Urquidez, 494 U.S. 259, 110 S.Ct. 1056, 1064 (1990).
Edgar J. Steele at Sierra Times - The Way We Were - a good summation of the state of the bill of rights in the light of the "Patriot" act. Not much left. [kaba]
Joseph Farah at WorldNetDaily - Arm yourselves, Americans - true homeland security begins at home. Yours. [kaba]
The founding fathers didn't craft the Second Amendment to the Constitution because they were concerned about hunting rights. They were concerned about two things and two things only – that Americans could defend themselves adequately against foreign threats and that they could hold their own government accountable for transgressions of freedom.
...
The war has come home. Americans want to do more. They want to take responsibility. They want to fight back.
Now is the time. This is the way. Get yourself a gun. Learn how to shoot. Demand your government roll back all the anti-gun legislation of the last 25 years. Insist airline pilots be armed.
