Benefits From Trump’s BS

Trump is trying to pretend the mail-in ballots are somehow a big fraud. No, they’re just Democrat-leaning.

Maybe telling all his people that mail-in ballots are such a fraud for all these months backfired? Now they’re cutting hard for the Democrats. But if Biden wins, at least that means that, according to Nick “Let’s Invade Everywhere” Kristoff,

“If Biden wins after this poisoning of the chalice, he will inherit a badly divided country after an election that many will deem illegitimate, and it will be harder to govern and more difficult for the United States to exert influence around the world.”

Good. I hope he is falsely accused of treason with Beijing, leading to a giant, fake 3-year pretended “investigation” by a special counsel and his impeachment over leading the Ukrainian coup of 2014.

Yeah right, I know, there is no such thing as law. The Justice Department would never do that to Biden. That was just Trump’s punishment for stopping Jeb and Hillary for us.

But I look forward to half the country completely rejecting his rule as stolen and illegitimate. It is.

Techno-Agorist: Whoever Wins… We Live

Techno-Agorist: Whoever Wins… We Live

I don’t know if you have heard, but we just experienced the most important election of our lifetime. At least, that’s what I have been told by friends and family from all political persuasions. The funny thing is that I have heard the same about every election that has happened in my lifetime.

Either every presidential election truly is the most important election of our lifetime, or this is all just political speak used to get people invested in electoral politics. I lean toward the latter being the truth. Politicians use democracy to give people the illusion of control. If you criticize what these politicians do, then you are told that you should have voted harder or been more involved in the process. This illusion only holds up if people continue to vote and take part in the system.

The thing is, no matter how many of these elections happen, the government keeps growing, and our freedom keeps shrinking. This isn’t because of how much we vote or don’t vote. It’s because of evil people in government doing evil things.

So, what do we do? If voting doesn’t make the difference, then what does?

Agorism is what makes the difference. Focusing on you and your family is what makes the difference. Imagine if people took all that time and energy that they put into pointless political action and instead put it into making their lives better?

This has been a hard year in so many ways, but for me and my family it has actually been pretty incredible. We used the stupid COVID “lockdown” to prepare our house to sell. Then, on the very day that realtors were allowed to go back to work (yup, you heard that right, even realtors weren’t allowed to work in PA for a time), we found someone to sell our house.

We have since sold that house and moved all the way down to Florida. For a little more than we sold our home in PA for, we purchased three acres of wooded land and a big, beautiful manufactured home. In fact, we closed on our land and home today. Woohoo!

While in PA, we had one growing season. Here in Florida, we have at least three growing seasons! We are learning what can be planted when so that we can best take advantage of the climate here. As soon as we have our home, we are getting chickens and goats. Rather than using city water and sewage, we will have well water a septic tank. Out back, we have a spring-fed lake. If we ever need extra water, we are set! Our land is in the dead center of the Ocala National Forest. You can’t go there without seeing wildlife. There are deer and bears in the forest and lots of fish in the lake. If we needed to survive, we could do very well on our little homestead.

I could right now be stressing over the presidential election. I could be pouring over the news and arguing with people online about it. But, ultimately, I don’t see the point. That is a waste of my time. My plan is to use my time and energy to make my life better. My plan is to make sure that I have food, water, shelter, and a means of taking care of my family whatever comes.

If they are going to tell me that every presidential election is the most important election of my lifetime, then I think that I’ll just begin calling every day the most important day of my lifetime. Every day is a new chance to focus on what matters most. Every day is a new chance to make life better for myself and my family. Every day is a new chance to follow my conscience and do what I know is right.

Whoever wins, we live. Let’s check our priorities and focus on the things that matter most, rather than get swept up in and stressed out about things that we can’t control.

Let’s Talk About Potential Gun Issues

As I’m typing this it looks to me like Joe Biden is going to take this thing (if I’m wrong, I’ll be first to admit it). A common worry among libertarians/anarchists and even conservatives is that Biden is going to do an executive order (XO) of some sort resulting in some gun restrictions., even confiscation.

My first impulse is to remind everyone that the same fear was felt under Obama – especially after the Sandy Hook tragedy – but I understand that this is 4 years later. The problem with that line of thinking is that the Republican president for the last 4 years actually put through some restrictions on firearms related items and hinted at gun control in “dire” circumstances and was cheered on by his acolytes on the Right. But Biden isn’t on the Right.

My advice to the gun-owners out there is to hold onto your weapons. Prices will immediately skyrocket with Biden as president-elect but don’t sell unless you have an emergency. Even if Biden were to sign an XO, the Republican governors loyal to Trump will resist IMO, unless they are bought and sold by the “Great Reset” crowd. I still don’t see them rounding anything up using force. They may try a “mandatory buyback” but all you have to do is look to New Zealand to see that doesn’t go well in the present. Hell, even Connecticut didn’t get close to half when they passed a state law and when New Jersey ordered bump-stocks turned in a few years ago none were surrendered.

Ride this out. If you’re in an area where they know what you have, get a 3D printer and CNC mill. They’re getting easier to make at home.

If Biden wins this there will be the kind of vitriol towards him the Right had for Obama. Maybe even more considering many people on the Right I’m sure held back for not wanting to be deemed racist. IMO, Trump has removed that concern even if we see a sudden Harris presidency.

I am in no way worried that anyone is coming for my guns and I have a few along with accessories that the Feds know about. I believe that if it gets to the point where they come to take them, anything they have planned for us after that will justify using them. I don’t see us being there in the near future but I’m often wrong in my predictions.

I happen to agree with Monica Perez that if that day comes when they come for them, a Republican will be in office. Relax, breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth, and watch how things unfold. It just may be that Federalism will be a major factor in the Age of Biden. If that is in fact where we are.

Kamala Harris Says ‘We All End Up in the Same Place’

Recently Kamala Harris tweeted a video where she’s talking nonsense about “equity” and “equality” — pandering to the left’s progressives — which ends with her saying, “equitable treatment means we all end up in the same place.”

End up at the same place. Well, it’s Kamala Harris … so we can deduce that she’s talking about jail. We all end up in jail. “A cell for you, a cell for you, and a cell for you! Everyone gets a cell!”

The Trump train has been working overtime to paint Kamala Harris as the most radical left-leaning figure in the Democratic party, but this is a misstep: it’s inaccurate. They could illustrate how Kamala Harris is a longtime pro-cop prosecutor with a history of locking people up in prison. In that respect, it can be shown that Harris is the Democratic candidate most unsupportive of the goals of the progressive base in terms of immigration, criminal justice reform, and police accountability. Harris’s history puts her at the other end of the spectrum of the Black Lives Matter movement, squarely in the same category as Joe Biden, whose 1994 crime bill was responsible for sending thousands of minorities to prison. Harris sought to do the same as San Francisco DA and later AG in California.

For example, when Harris was the District Attorney of San Francisco, she supported measures that required police to turn over undocumented juvenile immigrants to federal authorities if they were arrested, “regardless of whether or not they were actually convicted of a crime.” Harris’s position was in direct contrast to the progressive wing’s sponsorship of a bill called The Trust Act, which sought to limit the cooperation with ICE at the state level and designate San Francisco as a “sanctuary city.” After three years, that bill passed, but it was without Harris (or Obama’s) support. David Campos, a former member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and proponent of the bill, had this to say about Harris: “Kamala was always seen as a very law and order type who was not very supportive of pro-immigrant legislation. At the best, she was not involved and at the worst, she opposed.” Her pro-jail stance carried over to police accountability as well: Harris was against having her office to investigate officer-involved shootings, and likewise, she did not support statewide standards mandating the use of police body cameras. Had George Floyd been murdered under Kamala’s watch, it’s a strong likelihood it would not have been caught on camera, and had Breonna Taylor been murdered under her watch, her office would not have investigated.

Harris was equally unsupportive of criminal justice reform. As law professor Lara Bazelon wrote in the Wall Street Journal, “progressives urged her to embrace criminal justice reforms as a district attorney and then the state’s attorney general, Ms. Harris opposed them or stayed silent.” According to the Wall Street Journal piece, “Harris fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official police misconduct that included evidence tampering, false testimony and the suppression of crucial information by prosecutors.” A memo surfaced which showed that Harris and her deputies knew about police wrongdoing, yet Harris failed to alert defense attorneys of clients impacted by the police misconduct. A judge later condemned Harris for this violation of defendants’ constitutional rights while Harris contested the judge’s ruling–and she lost. As a result, over 600 cases handled by a corrupt police technician were dismissed. This is but one example of how Harris is decidedly pro-jail, pro-corruption, and pro-police: not quite the far-left radical that the Trump team would have you believe. A half dozen other examples documented in a January 2019 New York Times piece that show Harris consistently supported prosecutorial misconduct and police wrongdoing that resulted in wrongful convictions, some resulting in life sentences and even the death penalty. On the death penalty, Harris is no better than she is on police reform: she appealed a judge’s ruling that the death penalty was unconstitutional and incredulously claimed that such a ruling “undermines important protections that our courts provide to defendants.” She opposed DNA testing that would later prove a death-row inmate was innocent. Likewise, Harris defended a Kern county prosecutor who falsified a defendant’s confession, which was later used to threaten a life sentence.

Harris’s indefensible support for police misconduct isn’t limited to death penalty cases: it seems that hard time is Kamala’s one-size-fits-all solution for even the pettiest of crimes. In what is perhaps the most outrageous example of Harris’ overzealous “lock ’em up” mindset, she sent police officers to lock up the parents of children who had missed school. Yes, she sent people to jail for truancy. What’s worse, her office failed to do their due diligence in some truancy cases before throwing on the handcuffs. In one example, a young girl suffering from sickle cell anemia missed school due to hospitalization, and as a result, that poor girl’s mother had handcuffs put on her, and she was stuck in a police cruiser while filmed by local news media. Recounting this policy, Kamala Harris later laughed about it.

These are just a few examples from Kamala Harris’s record. Keep these in mind when Harris touts anything about “equity” or “equality” — as history has shown, Harris seems to believe that everyone is guilty until proven innocent, and if we’re all headed to the same place, under Kamala’s watch, that place is a prison cell.

Boarding Up For Safety In The ‘Land Of The Free!’

It’s telling that we have reached a point where only hyper-partisans are speaking up and attempting to make a “big deal” out of the fact that an election is happening and businesses are boarding their windows and doors in areas where a sizable portion of the population resides. Think about that; tomorrow an event is taking place that we were brainwashed in government schools to believe makes us more special than any other people in the world. And the only people talking about it are ones who want to rally people to their personal cause. As Hotep Jesus says, “It’s grifter season!”

You’ll have to scour the internet to find articles – mostly on smaller blogs – that may actually make the point that this isn’t what was sold to us; that this isn’t the legacy we were promised. But, as Vin Armani pointed out way back at the beginning of all of this, “People believe that they’re entitled to the liberties of the Declaration and the Bill of Rights but they didn’t put themselves at risk. How long did they think they were going to benefit from someone else’s hard work?” Now, many of us know that those promises are bunk but the reason to bring them up is that the overwhelming majority of the people believe them. But they have abandoned even considering those principles.

I hope that anyone reading this has already come to the conclusion that what we are seeing (leaving Covid out of this); riots, radical cultural divisions, “this is the most important election of our lifetime;” that these things are not going away. The riots strengthen the political class. The cultural divisions have been here since the founding. And it’s always the most important election.

If these issues are things that consume your thought, that you’re someone who wonders what the culture will look like even 5 years from now, I hope you have at least reached the “acceptance” stage of “grief,” and like myself, are constantly looking for ways to navigate it. It appears to me that taking care of self and family first, and then looking for like-minded, local individuals, to partner with is a smart way forward.

I don’t know how to talk to the person who believes this will go back to whatever they think “normal” was. Again, that points to the individual.
