So you think you want to be truly free and that libertarians like Ron Paul will save the world...

In an earlier post I said something about Stefan Molyneux. He rightly states that if you truly oppose your government in any way, ultimately you will get shot, and that is not a metaphor.

Just an escalation example:

-> You stop paying your taxes (any)
-> You receive a letter & do nothing
-> You receive another letter & do nothing
-> You receive a summons & do nothing
-> You receive a sommation & do nothing
-> Law enforcement will visit your house to arrest you & you refuse to go

Resist them, and they will subdue you.
Defend yourself, and you will be gunned down.

Other examples might be:
- Refusing to send your children to a public school
- Refusing vaccinations
- Refusing to acknowledge / pay any fine
- Refusing to abide by any Federal Regulation

The State uses deadly force to subdue you. The scary thing is with all the new legislation they do not even need a pretext to do so. Ofcourse you have the option NOT to get shot and to "get thrown into a pit with gang rapists"... I would prefer to get shot myself.

So what CAN you personally do instead of donating to the Ron Pauls?

Please take the time to listen, even though he is rather long winded at times.



To me this guy is the TRUE voice of reason.

Please check his YouTube channel

There is a difference in thinking you want to be free and living it...

Forgot to add:

My sister came up with an analogy that goes along the lines of what hes talking about in the second video. She relates societies every increasing productivity to the ever so shrinking transistors in a microprocessor. If you think about the original computers, they were bulky and composed of maybe 1000 vacuum tubes. Just like the shackles that bound us as slaves were fully visible 500 - 1000 yrs ago, the vacuum tubes of yesterdays computer were fully visible units. Today's microprocessor has transistors that are .045 microns wide and are impossible to see with the human eye. Just as the transistors shrunk, so did the chains that bind us. "What chains"? most people would say.. Just as in Moonmines second video, the illusion of a society without shackles (free range) is much more productive than the society that knows they're livestock.

Bottom line - Shackles or transistors visible=productivity low. Shackles or transistors invisible = productivity high.

Its also interesting that scientists are having just as hard of a time maintaining Moores Law (shrinking transistors by half every 12 months) as TPB are having at maintaining the illusion that we are free.



Thanks again for introducing me to this guy, I'm watching his videos right now.

Peace

Sorry for the excessive edits, my spelling and grammar were and are still atrocious.

The second video is a powerful one to say the least.


It should be mandatory viewing for every man, woman and child on this planet.

Couldn't have been any clearer, more honest or more spot on correct.


Excellent find

He has a good point but the video could be edited down to 2 minutes and say the same things while being much clearer.

Bumped TTT so that this can be seen by any who missed it.


Watch the second video.....it is well worth your time

Thanks for the replies

Thanks a lot for listening BlackOps719.

There are very few voices of reason online now a days...

O and, I must complement you on your avatar.. It rocks.

Here a goodie for your avatar, enjoy.

No more takers?

I am shamelessly bumping my own thread, please watch at least the second video.

Every soul informed is a soul saved..........

EDIT: 02:19am and Youtube is still unreachable...

Thanks for the vid. I enjoyed it. He makes very good points in the video and states things that are obvious but not engraved in your mind.

But..

What he states will never change. The world will always be this way. There is no changing it. Maybe if the population wasn't 6 billion it could be changed.

To me, he seems to be promoting anarchy which isn't viable either.

Very interesting video...this is not for the close minded.

I highly recommend watching the second video..which is the one i'm referring to.

Don't miss out...you may learn something.

Yes, statelessness is anarchism. Anarchos = without leaders

And why exactly is this not viable?

I beg to differ and hopefully we can discuss...

Let me start by saying that you do not need a government to produce, prosper and be safe.

Thanks for the reply!
