NC Renegades

As Obama and Hillary are celebrating the establishment of Democracy in Egypt, the fallout of the new Muslim Brotherhood government is now becoming apparent. The dogs of war in the Middle East are being unleashed as the world is focused on the latest GOP debate and the 15th non-solution to the collapse of the Eurozone and probably the entire European Union. The establishment of Hamas bases and rocket production facilities in the Sinai signal the intent of the new Egyptian regime toward Israel.

The United States’ foreign policy is following in the infamous footsteps of the Department of Justice under Eric Holder and the impending institution of a police state under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. The continuing blunders under the State Department include the escalation of tensions between Russia and accusations from Germany stating that the United States is responsible for the EU collapse. The failure of this administration’s Israeli policy is another lesson of their incompetence. Obama’s administration gives new meaning on the old adage:

With friends like these, who needs enemies.

A group of friends gathered today to celebrate a birthday, consume good victuals, and fire a large number of small lead projectiles at simulations of an abstract enemy.

Between these activities, we talked at length about how to solve the problems of our world. The same field was plowed with bullets and words: how do we engage people who are not already part of “the choir”; not active in our Liberty movement.

How do we persuade people to care about our cause? This is a fundamental lament, and it is independent of the particular “cause” one might choose to advocate.

Democrats and Republicans expend tremendous sweat and treasure to craft statements they believe will attract support. Then they create tactics to direct groups and individuals toward their cause, using self-interest, guilt, and other tools.

Anarcho-Abolitionism: Carrying the Anti-Slavery Argument to its Logical End

“Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should prevail. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

Chattel slavery abolitionists stood in defiance of slavery. They argued that men do not have the moral right to own other men, and of course they were correct. The truth was on their side, and it was only a matter of time before the morality of the rest of the population caught up. Now, chattel slavery is seen as universally wrong, and the fact that this abhorrent institution existed for so long has left one hell of a scar on the moral history of mankind.

Despite all of the courageous efforts of the abolitionists, a particularly nasty form of slavery still blankets humanity. It is a dangerous form of slavery, because men have been tricked into thinking this form of slavery is the very pinnacle of freedom. The slavery that infects the world now is more of a free-range style of slavery; an evolutionary adaptation of human ownership. The ballot box is the master, but it is still the individual who is enslaved. The tyrannous will of the majority has taken the place of the will of the single despotic master. The only civil recourse the individual has against this democratic offensive is to cast a vote himself in order to try and protect his life, liberty, and property. A feeble and incapable defense perhaps, but there are only two other avenues of recourse: peaceful secession, or violent revolution. One only happens when the other cannot peacefully be realized.
