good is defined
as:something judged
categorically
beneficial from an individual
standpoint
"When the State enjoins
something good, it spoils it
precisely because it comes in
the form of a command.
Every command provokes and arouses
the legitimate revolt of freedom;
from the point of view of
true morality, of human
morality, the good which is
done by command from above ceases to be good and thereby becomes evil.
Liberty,
morality, and the
humane dignity of man consist
precisely in that man does good not because he
is ordered to do so, but because he conceives
it, wants it, and
loves it.
The
state then is the most flagrant negation,
the most cynical and complete
negation of humanity.
It rends apart the universal solidarity of
men, and unites them only in order to
destroy,
conquer, and
enslave.
It takes
under its protection only its own citizens, and it recognizes human right,
humanity, and civilization only
within the confines of its own boundaries.
Every State, whether it
is of a federative or a non-federative character, must seek, under the penalty
of utter ruin, to become the most powerful of
States.
It has to devour others
in order not to be devoured in turn,
to conquer in order not to be
conquered, to enslave in
order not to be enslaved." - Mikhail Bakunin
"No one, and least
of all those who are concerned with reform, will maintain that the human race
has as yet reached the plateau
of the Promised Land.
Man has done
a lot in accumulating a knowledge of
things in general, but he seems
incapable of ridding himself
of the need of a golden
calf.
He yearns for "gods
which will go before us," gods uninhibited by the Laws of
Nature, gods
accountable only to grand appetites,
gods that speak not of
consequences, the long run or the day after tomorrow.
In that
respect we are like the Jews in the
wilderness.
Witness the pervasive religion of our times,
the worship of the State.
Is not the State an idol?
Is it not like a supernatural power with
superhuman capacities?
The State can feed us when we are
hungry,
heal us when we are ill.
It can raise wages and lower prices,
even at the same time!
It can educate our children
without cost and amuse us when we are
bored.
It can provide us against
the contingencies of old age;
it can give us
electricity by passing laws and
improve the game of
basketball by regulation.
What
cannot the State do for us if only we have blind faith in it?
The modern creed of Statism is the
implemented universal
religion.
The State is a
false god, powerless in
the face of natural
law.
The foundation of
this absolute theology is political power
can do anything.
This, in fact, is a
hindrance to man in his effort toward self-improvement.
The State,
being merely a body of men, take advantage of human
weakness and make the best of
it with superhuman gifts
and capacities.
Men, incapable of defying or circumventing the
Laws of Nature,
make and unmake their multitudinal veils
to hide nature away in self-deception.
The
State consists of a body of men who, by virtue of
their need for a golden
calf, acquire the power
to compel us against our will." - Frank Chodorov
The
Articles of Confederation and
Perpetual Union was penned in 1777 soon after the Declaration of
Independence and existed as the only constitution until 1788.
The
Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was an agreement among the 13
founding states that established the United States of America as a
confederation of sovereign states.
On February 21, 1787, the Congress of
the Confederation delivered a
resolution authorizing a Philadelphia constitutional convention but with an
important limitation: "for the sole and express purpose of revising the
Articles of Confederation and reporting to Congress and the several
legislatures."
Prior to the Philadelphia constitutional convention,
Framers wrote and distributed approximately 85 "Federalist Papers" to extol the
virtues of an entirely new, second constitution for the people of America.
By doing this, they hoped to reverse the prevailing negative public
opinion and increase the public's confidence in such a plan.
Framers
hid behind a pseudonym when writing their Federalist Papers; each was signed as
"Publius," meaning "friend of the people" (or public).
Many of the
dissenting voices among the free inhabitants of the several states regarded the
upcoming Philadelphia constitutional convention as potentially illegal.
They well-understood from the Federalist Papers the
Federalist goal of
creating a new constitution and not simply revising the existing one.
In the minds of the free inhabitants, the accomplishment of Federalist
goals could unravel the freedoms and liberties they had gained under the
Articles of Confederation and won by the American Revolution.
The
Philadelphia constitutional convention, held from May into September 1787,
exceeded the authority given it.
Instead of revising the Articles of
Confederation they forged an entirely new constitution.
The
Constitution of the United States, signed September 17, 1787, was deemed
ratified June 21, 1788 by only nine states instead of the unanimous
ratification of all 13 states required by the Articles of Confederation.
Thereafter, a new,
centralized US Government was formed,
disregarding the original, decentralized American
jurisdiction of state legislatures established soon after the American
Revolution.
In June of 1788 at the Virginia Conference, orator and
Anti-Federalist, Patrick Henry, exposed
the political tactics of
propaganda he believed the Federalists had used to win over the public.
The Framers had pandered to the people in order to get their way, he
said, by convincing the people, that under a new constitution, democracy would
mean the government belonged to them.
"Who authorized them to speak the
language, 'We, the people', instead of 'We, the states?' . . . That they exceed
their powers is perfectly clear . . . The Federal Convention ought to have
amended the old system; for this purpose they were solely delegated; the object
of their mission extended to no other consideration." - Patrick Henry, June 4,
1788
The Constitution of 1787 and the US government it formed was an
illegitimate (unauthorized) takeover of the original American jurisdiction.
The new Constitution provided for a much stronger national government
with a chief executive (the president), courts, and taxing powers.
The
Articles of Confederation have never been been lawfully repealed.
Americans, no longer suffering as indentured-servant subjects of the
British monarchy, now suffer as indentured-servant subjects of the United
States Incorporated beholden to an
obscured corporate-banking cartel.
The Articles of Confederation
and Perpetual Union still stand.
The Constitution was a Federalist
counterrevolution turning States into Municipalities.
1873
Republicans are losing their enthusiasm for protecting black rights.
Despite the presence of federal troops, sent by President Grant to
protect black voting rights, white Democrats effectively resume campaigns of
violence and intimidation to suppress the Republican vote, with clearly
observable effects depicted in this map.
The formal end to
Reconstruction was brought about in the disputed 1876 Presidential election.
The Democratic candidate, Tilden, won the popular vote, but neither
candidate initially had a majority of electoral votes due to disputes over
returns in Florida, Louisiana and S. Carolina - the only states in which
federal troops were still stationed.
Although they were not numerous
enough to stop white intimidation of black voters, the troops were considered
an affront by white Democrats.
In backroom negotiations, Democrats
conceded the disputed election returns to Hayes in return for his agreement to
withdraw the remaining 3000 federal troops, thereby putting a formal end to
Reconstruction and assuring Democratic control, based on a platform of white
supremacy and black disenfranchisement, throughout the South. |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational
purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern
propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an
international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt
version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance
occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious
beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the
founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the Way of the
Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based on reason
which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no
church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to
develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer through the pursuit
of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that
has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of the
Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the
author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in
America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site in no way condones
violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is
already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human
race. The international corporate
cartel already controls the world economic system, corporate media
worldwide, the global industrial military entertainment complex and is
responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of
self-centered behavior and the destruction
of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation.
Coöperation does not occur at the
point of a
gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously
over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and
more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general
through corporate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been
preprogrammed into the population through prior mass media psychological
operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the
destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt
international elites vision of a perfect world. Through
distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population
has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite
that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
All views and opinions presented on this web site are the views and
opinions of individual human men and women that, through their writings, showed

thought. All factual information presented on this web site is believed to be
