"The suicide murder community is almost perfectly faith based." - Christopher Hitchens On Real Time With Bill Maher, Hitchens claims that because an Islamist in the 1800's used the Koran to justify atrocities, it means that today the issue with Al-Qaeda is due to the Koran. …[W]e now have the first complete data set of all suicide terrorist attacks around the world from 1980 to 2009,…research on who becomes a suicide terrorist showed that virtually none could be diagnosed as mentally ill, while many were religious and, most striking, nearly all emerged from communities resisting foreign...

War is a Euphemism for Mass Murder

by Keith Knight | Jan 28, 2023 | Blog, Uncategorized

To kill one man is to be guilty of a capital crime, to kill ten men is to increase the guilt tenfold, to kill a hundred men is to increase it a hundredfold. This the rulers of the earth all recognize, and yet when it comes to the greatest crime — waging war on another state — they praise it!... If a man on seeing a little black were to say it is black, but on seeing a lot of black were to say it is white, it would be clear that such a man could not distinguish black and white... So those who recognize a small crime as such, but do not recognize the wickedness of the greatest crime of all......

Genuine Conservatism Opposes War

by Keith Knight | Jan 24, 2023 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/-xusygFr6cE [W]ar is simply a euphemism for theft-funded mass murder, a blatant crime that we would never dismiss if non-government actors were to engage in it. What if justice required us not to have double standards? This book seeks to dispel the belief that morality applies differently to government employees. If it is immoral for me to do something — say, conscript people to perform labor against their will — how can I justifiably vote for a representative to do such a thing on my behalf? - The Voluntaryist Handbook BitChute

Empower the Working Class: Abolish Occupational Licensing

by Keith Knight | Jan 21, 2023 | Blog, Uncategorized

It's time to consistently apply the "my body my choice" principle. If consenting adults want to engage in economic activity, no third party should forcibly stop them. Democrats always say "voting once every two years between two politicians is how you express yourself". A far better way of representing people's preferences: Decriminalize all capitalist acts between consenting adults! For more, see The Voluntaryist Handbook. Occupational licensing is a phony guardian of public safety that hikes prices, protects existing practitioners from competition, and raises barriers to work and...

Our schools provide many hours of lessons on climate change, but I wonder how many teachers, let alone pupils, are aware that climate-related deaths have decreased by as much as 97 per cent over the past 100 years, as the OFDA / CRED data show. - Why don’t we ever hear the good news about climate? - Spiked.com In order to justify major power grabs, the population must be scared into blind obedience. https://youtu.be/dp27MRtBaAQ

Black Youth Unemployment: Before and After Progressives Started “Helping”

by Keith Knight | Jan 19, 2023 | Blog

A constant trend is progressivism is to use the state to coercively control others under the guise of "helping" them, make things worse, then ignore the problems you caused and never apologize. Sallie Mae loans didn't make college affordable. The Federal Reserve didn't stop recessions from occurring. State schooling didn't make everyone educated. Medicare and Medicaid didn't lower drug costs. And Minimum Wage laws hurt the least skilled and least experience get their foot in the door to gain on the job experience. Black youth unemployment before and after Progressives decided to "help"...

How to Stop a Civil War in the West

https://youtu.be/k9aytQhEbRU Is it really a surprise that as the government gets bigger and bigger and bigger, everything in life becomes more and more hyper-political? When you think about it, right, there are such profound differences that people have…you will have right now in this audience…a Christian sitting next to an atheist, the most profound difference in belief: one person believes that the person next to them is going to burn in a pit of Hell forever, and that atheist looks over at you and believes you are delusional. But you’re fine. Like, you’re not going to war,...
