One code Of The Samurai: By protecting the
weaker others, you save yourself.... (That is Natural law, BTW). What
are your plans after the bubble pops? Can you interpret Natural Law? We
are experiencing a large conscience shift at this time, and rather than
allowing the cancer to survive, can you cut it out, permanently and
without pent up hate causing you to have malice aforethought?
Face it...Some people just need correction
without a second thought.. Today we rely on man's corrupt "law" to take
your money by force and put them out of sight in a 'prison', where they
continue to drain others while living a comfortable life.
After the bubble pops, their correction will be
your call. You and yours will be judge and jury. Consider carefully, for
your actions will be most personal.

========================================
Popular media today, including television and
cinema, are rife with examples of what is often referred to as moral
relativism — the use of false and fictional moral dilemmas designed to
promote the rationalization of an “ends justify the means” narrative. We
are also bombarded lately with entertainment depicting an endless array
of “anti-heroes,” protagonists who have little to no moral code
fighting antagonists who are even more evil, thus vindicating the
otherwise disgusting actions of the heroes. From “24” to “Breaking Bad”
to “The Walking Dead,” American minds are being saturated with
propaganda selling the idea that crisis situations require a survivor to
abandon conscience. In other words, in order to defeat monsters, you
must become a monster.
This theme is not only unavoidable in film and
TV, but also in military journals, politics, and even within liberty
movement discussion.
What I see developing is an extremely dangerous
philosophy that rests on the foundation that victory (or survival) is
the paramount virtue and that it should be attained at any cost. Moral
compass becomes a “luxury” that “true” apex survivors cannot afford, an
obstacle that could eventually get one killed. I have heard some
survivalists and liberty proponents in anger over the trespasses of the
corrupt establishment suggest a strict adherence to the eye-for-an-eye
ideology, up to and including torture, harming of the enemy’s families,
and even harming the children of those who would harm us.
There is also a small but ingrained subculture
within spheres of survivalism that embraces the strategy of the “prepper
pirate,” essentially planning their subsistence around the idea of
taking what they need from others as a form of evolutionary realism.
They believe that the “survival of the fittest” is more important than
the survival of the principled.
In mainstream yuppie culture, this attitude
would be labeled insane. Yet urban and suburban television addicts often
cheer the concept of the ends justifying the means in their favorite
prime time shows and consistently argue for morality stretching policies
within government (as long as their “team” is in control of the
football in Washington, D.C.). I have little doubt they would adopt such
thinking in the event that disaster does strike and they find
themselves unprepared amid desperate conditions.
In “Understanding The Fear Of Self-Defense And
Revolution,” I discussed the inevitability of self-defense against
criminal oligarchy and why common methods of pacifist activism are
dangerously inadequate in the face of psychopathic tyranny. When
self-defense or revolution is initiated, though, the movement does not
necessarily fight only for its own benefit; nor does it fight simply to
eliminate the threat. Our survival as individuals is not the primary
concern; the survival of the principles and truths that drive us to
fight is the ultimate goal. If there is such a thing as the “greater
good,” truth and honor must be the apex of that vision.
If we cast aside our principles in the name of
victory, then, ironically, we have still lost everything. Our war is
fought on multiple levels, from the physical to the spiritual. Lose the
spiritual war, lose sight of one’s conscience, and the physical war
becomes meaningless.
I believe the formation of a liberty movement
code, a kind of warrior’s code, is absolutely vital to our future.
Without a new kind of oath, an oath not only to the Constitution but to
our own internal values, the temptation to use our darker natures
against the enemy during greater trials of the soul may be too much to
bear. While conscience is an inborn gift, it sometimes requires a more
outward affirmation in order to remain strong. Here are some elements I
believe should make up the foundation of our code.
Defense Of The Innocent
We will do everything within our power whenever
possible to ensure the safety and liberty of those people around us
caught in the currents of collapse. Some might claim that the unprepared
are not “innocent” because their lack of vigilance contributes to the
decay of our society. I would say that while the ignorant are a danger
to us and themselves, we would also be contributing to the decay of our
society by refusing to help others when we have the ability to do so.
Someone somewhere has to end the cycle. And if that requires us to
sacrifice some of our energy and the satisfaction of saying “we told you
so,” then this is what we must do.
I would also point out that the defense of the
innocent does not begin when our economic and social structures end. We
help them now, by offering them the knowledge to prepare and organize
for mutual aid. We go to our town centers, to local churches, to our
lecture halls; and we openly educate those who are willing to listen —
not to preach politics or to indoctrinate, but to offer practical
knowledge. We give them useful tools through neighborhood watch programs
and Community Preparedness Teams. We teach them today how to defend
themselves, their families and their property and how to invest in
survival, so that tomorrow they will not feel compelled to become part
of the problem, but part of the solution.
If we let our distaste for the unaware lead us
into an attitude of “us versus them” against our own neighbors, then we
will miss every chance to strengthen our communities. Our purpose is to
bring others up, not to stand in pious judgment as they fall down.
We Prepare To Offer Aid, Even To Those We Think Might Not Deserve It
Many survivalists and preppers may scoff at
this idea, but they would not be looking at the bigger picture. Offering
aid to your community serves not only to help them, but to help you in
the long run. Look at it this way; when FEMA arrives in a
disaster-struck city or county, its “authority” means little to the
shell-shocked citizenry. What does matter to them is that FEMA brings
food, water and sometimes shelter. FEMA does this in its own sweet time
and often allows numerous people to die before the aid is given, but it
still maintains its authority over a region simply because there is no
other alternative.
You must offer that alternative.
Imagine what would have happened if during the
nightmare of Hurricane Katrina, while FEMA was lounging around watching
the carnage and even denying access to private institutions offering
supplies, New Orleans residents were greeted with liberty movement teams
defying government mandate? What if liberty advocates from across
Louisiana and the nation had marched right over the top of FEMA,
escorted those trapped in the Superdome to a safe place, and gave them
food and water? The movement raised millions of dollars for Ron Paul’s
campaign (twice!), why couldn’t we do the same to save lives?
Imagine if we were to prove that FEMA is an
unnecessary and frivolous organization ready for the dustbin? Imagine if
we were to prove that communities can provide their own security and
aid without the state, as Oath Keepers did in Ferguson, Missouri?
Even at a local level, this methodology could
mean the difference between freedom and tyranny. Stockpiles of grain
bought directly from independent farms can be had for very little money
and strategically placed for use in future calamities. Affordable water
filtration could prevent disease and dehydration for thousands. A team
of engineers could solve waste and grid-down dilemmas. A team of
well-trained security personnel could prevent looting, rape and murder.
Imagine if the catastrophe the elites wish to engineer was mitigated or
thwarted by the very people the disaster was meant to target? Imagine
how much satisfaction that would give you.
Our Actions Are Inspired By Conscience, Not Rage
To fight in self-defense is entirely moral, but
there are lines that, if crossed, destroy our moral high ground.
Without the moral high ground, we become no better than the elites we
seek to remove from our lives. This means that we do not harm people
unless they are attempting to harm us. We punish criminals, not their
families and not their children. We do not torture, not only because it
is a useless tactic with little concrete proof of effectiveness, but
because it is a morally reprehensible psychopathic act designed to
fulfill a sick desire for sadistic power. It is not who we are.
When we fight, we fight in the knowledge that we
have first and foremost protected our moral foundation. We see those
who promote moral ambiguity and moral relativism as an element
destructive to the purpose of liberty. Winning means nothing and
survival means nothing, unless we endeavor to deserve life.
We Do Not Run Unless We Plan To Return
In an asymmetric revolution, there is rarely
such a thing as a “front line” or a piece of ground that must be
defended at all costs. That said, successful asymmetric warfare requires
that the enemy pay an overwhelming price for every attack he initiates.
This means that said revolt must always be aggressive, never relenting,
always striking, and resting or retreating only to stage a more
effective counter. Every time a totalitarian system advances without
consequence, it generates political, social, psychological and tactical
momentum. Without the courage to engage such advances, revolt is
impossible. Fear leads to moral rationalizations. The fearful cannot
adequately defend themselves, let alone defend others; and, once again,
the moral high ground is lost.
Zero Tolerance For Piracy And Criminality Within
Prepper pirates and others on the very fringes
of the survival movement who seek to thrive at the expense of others are
not only criminal according to natural law, but they are also a blight
on the reputation of the liberty movement itself. Our principles will
require us to stamp out such people as a priority. Those who would
viciously impose upon the innocent as a preplanned strategy are not
redeemable. Even if they claim to hate the same elites we fight against,
the enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend. Prepper pirates
are rabid dogs who should be put down.
We Are Professionals, And Guardians Never Satisfied With Half Measures
We carry ourselves as quiet professionals. We
strive to represent the best potential of what the liberty movement has
to offer. There is no problem we cannot solve and no opponent too large.
We do not know the meaning of the word “impossible.” We operate best
under pressure and during disaster. We move to disrupt crisis before it
begins when possible, and we refuse to stand back as spectators when
crisis does develop. We work diligently to master all knowledge and
training that could be used to achieve our goal, which is a free,
prosperous and independent citizenry. We do not seek leadership over
others; we only wish to teach others how to lead themselves.
We will not stop until this goal is accomplished
or until we are no longer breathing. We are not mutable or flexible
where tyranny is concerned. We are entirely uncompromising. We are
stubborn bastards, here to drive oligarchs even crazier than they
already are. We are here to undo them and their treacherous world. And
in this mission, we find ultimate comfort and peace.
