Welcome to the first issue of Anarchy Or Death. You've probably found this text
|
|
because you've grown dissatisfied with the world around you. I should really
|
|
point out that if you are a conspiracy theorist, don't even waste your time
|
|
reading this; you are crazy and give the rest of us a bad name. This also isn't
|
|
your frustrated teenager "lets change the world/fuck the government" brand of
|
|
anarchy, so sorry to all the wannabe rebel kids out there who will inevitably
|
|
conform when it is their generation's time to "grow up and get jobs". This
|
|
document exists as a rejection of authority, and a proclamation of true freedom.
|
|
|
|
While I believe that as a species we have come too far to completely do away with
|
|
all structure something definitely needs to be done about the current state of
|
|
affairs. If government worked the way it is supposed to there would be no problem.
|
|
Fortunately that's a delusion I will not be sharing with the Fox News regulars.
|
|
As a realist I have come to terms with the fact nothing is going to change any time
|
|
soon and have acted accordingly in ways that will be covered throughout this text.
|
|
If you can't change the system, change yourself and the way you interact with it.
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this e-zine is to serve as an outlet for my own personally held
|
|
views and beliefs, and also as a message to the establishment that not all of us
|
|
are going to remain quiet and take whatever they give us. If nothing else, this
|
|
e-zine will serve as a constant reminder that they are not unassailable and that
|
|
they cannot, and will never, be able to control those who have the means and the
|
|
wherewithal to fight back. The government has enjoyed dealing it out unchecked for
|
|
many years - now it's time to see how well they can take it.

|
-: Freedom by Force :-
|
|
-: :-
|
|
-::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::-
|
|
Some things just have to be taken by force. Freedom is unfortunately one of them.
|
|
You must understand that no government, whether harboring a police state or not,
|
|
will ever relinquish power once they've got it. In this day and age this includes
|
|
electronic surveillance, both online and in the physical world. While there are
|
|
many ways to shield yourself online there are not a lot of options in the real
|
|
world, save for smashing CCTV cameras or shooting down drones, which I'm sure we
|
|
will begin to see more of.
|
|
|
|
The law itself is nothing more than a tool to control you and the more you let it
|
|
the more restricted and complicated your life will become. When it comes to
|
|
punishing dissidents the establishment loves to throw the book at you, quoting long
|
|
winded legal propaganda. It empowers them and gives them a sense of righteous
|
|
superiority over you. They claim that the law is absolute and must be upheld at all
|
|
costs. That justice must be served, etc. This all changes however when the tables
|
|
are turned and you know the law and how to apply it effectively to your situation.
|
|
Suddenly the law is no longer important and they don't want to hear it. If you've
|
|
ever been in a bad court situation you will know exactly what I mean. At this point
|
|
the jig is up and they will do whatever it takes to get their way, assuming they can
|
|
do so while saving face. I find it very ironic that the law, something they want us
|
|
all to follow and be afraid of, is camera shy. We are very rarely allowed to film
|
|
what happens in the court room even for personal record keeping and I think that it
|
|
should be clear to everyone why that is. It is hard to play by the rules of the legal
|
|
system and get the outcome you desire when your opponent knows how to fight back.
|
|
|
|
A surprisingly large number of people think that fighting the system in order to
|
|
re-gain lost freedoms will accomplish anything. Not only is this ridiculous due
|
|
to the fact that the very same system is the thing that took their freedoms away,
|
|
but they are trying to fight it in accordance with its OWN RULES. It is akin to
|
|
having an argument with someone, but before you start you hand them a list of things
|
|
they can and cannot talk about, comparisons they can and cannot make, and when and
|
|
where they can speak. Scenarios like these ultimately prove useless and yet they
|
|
continue in hopes something will change. The famous quote from Albert Einstein can
|
|
certainly be applied here: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and
|
|
expecting different results."
|
|
|
|
A lot of people fear the police and the last thing they want is to find themselves
|
|
involved in a confronation. Maybe things would be different if they saw a way of
|
|
dealing with the situation that wouldn't result in their arrest and being charged
|
|
fallaciously. The police know this and take full advantage of the fear they induce.
|
|
The good news is that you do not have to be a victim. You can fight back and win,
|
|
though you will have to first opt out of "their game". Some might have a problem
|
|
with suggesting violence as a solution so to these people I ask: Why is it okay for
|
|
an overly aggressive cop to use violence against you and wrong for you to retaliate
|
|
in kind? Do you really think that they are deserving of the luxury of mercy? Many
|
|
will not agree with me but I say that if you get the upper hand, you do what you
|
|
feel is necessary. Obviously this is an unlikely scenario if you have been pulled
|
|
over as you most likely won't be able to exit your vehicle, disarm the officer and
|
|
subdue them quickly enough. They will simply pull their gun and open fire. Opting out
|
|
of their game doesn't mean that you shouldn't also challenge them on a legal basis.
|
|
You do what you need to do to handle the situation in the present. Any other retaliatory
|
|
efforts will most likely come into play later. How you proceed with that is up to you,
|
|
but if you are the determined type who doesn't mind doing their homework a good place
|
|
to start would be to learn the officer's schedule and stage a situation in which you
|
|
can get them alone.
|
|
|
|
On the topic of disarming officers it should be noted that they are often minimally
|
|
trained and possess little to no hand-to-hand combat experience. There are many
|
|
reasons for this but it can mainly be attributed to the fact that you don't exactly
|
|
need Bruce Lee caliber fighting skills when you have a gun. Not to mention that it
|
|
is usually the police who do the approaching and are thus already prepared by the
|
|
time you encounter them. As I said earlier, take advantage of situations where you
|
|
have gained the upper hand against law enforcement because they do not happen often.
|
|
|
|
The lesson here is that you do not have to limit yourself to playing by their rules.
|
|
If they hit you, you can strike back at them via side-channel methods, i.e.:
|
|
in unconventional and unexpected ways. Never forget that you don't have to be
|
|
miserable, you CAN be free and you CAN be happy and there is NOTHING stopping you
|
|
from doing the things you want to do. Life is simply too short to live under someone
|
|
else's rule.

-::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::-
|
|
The police like to think that they are above everyone else, that they exist above
|
|
the laws and are the only ones with any sense of "freedom". The greatest irony in
|
|
these beliefs is that the police are not at all free. In reality they have far less
|
|
freedom than the so-called criminals they attempt to imprison, and while living in
|
|
a police state offers many perks for the officers which help to perpetuate it, they
|
|
must not forget that they are not exempt from the most oppressive elements.
|
|
|
|
In this section I will lay out some examples comparing the common police officer to
|
|
the common criminal and demonstrate the somewhat ironic relationship between freedom
|
|
and authority. There is a lot to say on the subject so I have tried to keep it as
|
|
brief as possible.
|
|
|
|
The police answer to a higher authority, the criminal does not. Though police feel
|
|
that they sit atop society's hierarchy they forget that they must still answer to
|
|
their superiors, who in turn must answer to theirs. When you climb high enough in
|
|
their chain of command you will realize that the politicians are in fact the ones
|
|
who call the shots in policing and can strip them of all their 'power' at a moments
|
|
notice. The criminal on the other hand answers to no one but himself. He cannot be
|
|
stripped of his power, demoted or humiliated by those of a higher rank.
|
|
|
|
The police lack the ability to escape surveillance, the criminal does not. When
|
|
the ability to conduct yourself privately is constrained by the government, the
|
|
citizenry, at least those of which who do not blindly accept what they are told to
|
|
believe, will enjoy the luxury of privacy should they seek it out. For the criminal,
|
|
this remains true even when such preventative measures are outlawed. The police
|
|
officers, by the very nature of their job and general willingness to obey the system
|
|
will remain subjected to the surveillance and will end up with considerably less
|
|
freedom when all is said and done. The criminal does not care what decisions law-
|
|
makers have come to and will do whatever is necessary to ensure his own personal
|
|
beliefs remain unaffected.
|
|
|
|
The police are not play makers, the criminal is self-sufficient. The police cannot
|
|
function effectively without taking orders from other people. They do not make the
|
|
critical decisions, hammer out solutions or draw conclusions that lead to success.
|
|
For all of their gadgetry and training the police are essentially useless without
|
|
first being given instructions and getting pointed in the right direction. Imagine
|
|
what a 'criminal' could accomplish with the resources the police have, which leads
|
|
me to the next point.
|
|
|
|
The police go after low-hanging fruit, the criminal dreams big. Like you see in any
|
|
crime-focused movie the criminal is seen aiming for the big pay-day and is seemingly
|
|
relentless in his pursuit, only to have the police come parading in to foil his plans
|
|
at the last second despite all the odds and ego issues that exist in reality. Unlike
|
|
in the movies the police do not like to have to work hard at anything because, well,
|
|
they HATE to fail, and due to their personalities they fail all the time in their
|
|
day-to-day lives. To understand this fully, you must not forget that a fragile ego
|
|
and need for control was likely the driving force pushing the would-be officer into
|
|
the academy. They loath anything that they cannot control and it is much easier to
|
|
bolster your ego with a few quick drug busts or a domestic homicide than it is to
|
|
catch the guy who has taken his time and crossed all his t's, dotted his i's, and
|
|
doesn't mind getting his hands dirty with the nitty gritty (hard) work that goes
|
|
into anything that you actually care about.
|
|
|
|
You see it all the time. Cops bust some low-level idiots and then hype them up to
|
|
be top dogs no one has ever heard of. In policing, image is everything and if you
|
|
cannot project an image of tactical superiority people will laugh at you. Put simply,
|
|
the police do not dare to take on cases that might give them trouble and expose them
|
|
for the morons they truly are, so taking down that small-time local drug dealer will
|
|
have to make do for propaganda.
|
|
|
|
Many if not all officers at some point in their careers will realize these things
|
|
and the fallout isn't usually pretty. Some lash out at the public to restore their
|
|
egos and feel big before scurrying back to their masters and hiding behind their
|
|
bureaucratic influence. Some try to ignore it or push it out of their minds. Some
|
|
attempt to climb higher in the department and grab more power. Others resign,
|
|
albeit very few. Police officers are merely pawns in a much bigger game and no one
|
|
should have to put up with any grief from these individuals whose goals oftentimes
|
|
do not extend further than giving you a hard time. The good news is you don't have
|
|
to tolerate it and most cops are too afraid to face someone on equal footing who
|
|
is able and willing to fight back and defend themselves.

|
|
-: We're Just Animals :-
|
|
-: :-
|
|
-::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::-
|
|
Forget all the distinctions you've ever heard between "humans" and "animals".
|
|
We are one and the same. We as humans evolved on this planet like every other
|
|
species that has ever existed and to think otherwise is to be severely deluded or
|
|
religious (what's the difference?). Yes, collectively we are the smartest species.
|
|
Yes, we have propelled ourselves to the top of the food chain purely by means of
|
|
our intellect. Yes, we have a deeper understanding of our feelings and emotions
|
|
and have developed ways to communicate them with each other. None of these things
|
|
is mutually exclusive to being an animal. We have advantages because of how we
|
|
evolved and that is it. With that being said, the notion that any animal has
|
|
authority over another is crazy and incredibly arrogant.
|
|
|
|
Take a moment and really think about the concept. What other species allows for
|
|
themselves, and every aspect of their lives, to be controlled by another animal?
|
|
This isn't some "pack leader" scenario we're talking about here. We are talking
|
|
about allowing the government total control over the entire population, without
|
|
even so much as a fight and look what happens. No one should need to ask "why".
|
|
These things should be obvious to everyone, given that we all possess the same
|
|
tendencies to deceive, manipulate and do what we think we need to in order to
|
|
get what we want. It is human nature, plain and simple. You don't need to waste
|
|
your time trying to understand politics or law: every answer to every question
|
|
regarding government malfeasance or corruption lies in all of us.
|
|
When you understand this the world suddenly becomes less complicated.
|
|
|
|
Humans often pride themselves on being above other life forms without considering
|
|
the great irony that despite our intellectual uniqueness we are still animals. Our
|
|
greatest strengths, being self-awareness and communication, are also our greatest
|
|
weaknesses. Rather than making us articulate to the point that we no longer need
|
|
violence, they ensure that our conflicts will never be solved. Because of the way
|
|
our minds work, the fights we take on will never truly be over. Grudges, spite and
|
|
conscious thought keep our hate alive indefinitely. Our ability to think on different
|
|
levels guarantees that we will blow any conflict no matter how trivial, way out of
|
|
proportion, when in the "animal kingdom" of which some believe we do not belong,
|
|
something as simple as a smack or nip to the neck (oh no, violence!) would prove
|
|
more effective than a thousand hours of mediation. Speech has given us the ability
|
|
to dance around the issues at hand until we are individually satisfied that our egos
|
|
have been sufficiently coddled.
|
|
|
|
To argue that violence is ineffective or unnecessary is to argue with nature itself.
|
|
Without it none of us would be here, privileged enough to be able to criticize the
|
|
annals of history and denounce billions of years of evolution. Even throughout
|
|
human history with the advent of conscious thought none of us would be here if our
|
|
ancestors had been content with what they had. We would either still be living in
|
|
caves and mud huts or living completely segregated from one another. You've probably
|
|
heard it before that war has served as the main motivator for innovation. Nothing
|
|
motivates humans quite like revenge and their hatred for one another. The simple truth
|
|
is that humans are completely consumed by ego. So long as we each get what we want we
|
|
don't care about anything else. We put unrealistic expectations on others but would
|
|
be completely up in arms if we were expected to do more than our share. The ONLY
|
|
reason we possess the technology and luxuries of today is because we have forced
|
|
others of our kind to do the work we did not want to do ourselves, oftentimes through
|
|
violence.
|
|
|
|
Through slavery, manipulation and other forms of controlling one another we have seen
|
|
great civilizations rise and fall. Try and refute it if you must but you won't succeed.
|
|
It starts with the promise of prosperity for everyone in exchange for complete and total
|
|
obedience. It's the same, and apparently the only game we have played since the dawn of
|
|
time. People believe what they want to believe and the more adept liars of our species
|
|
have exploited this from the start. Once control of the population has been acquired
|
|
the leaders place themselves in positions where they would profit most while maintaining
|
|
the illusion that it is for the best interests of the people. Things run smoothly for
|
|
a while but eventually other forms of corruption take hold and begin to rape the
|
|
civilization in every way imaginable. The lust for more money and more power can
|
|
never fully be satisfied. People slowly start to realize something funny is going on.
|
|
Civil unrest begins to culminate. Eventually a point is reached where the populace
|
|
feels the need to protest an injustice and it is only then that they are exposed to
|
|
their government's true colors. By this point it is too late and the cycle continues
|
|
for a while until the problems plaguing the society become too big and too apparent
|
|
to ignore. Government propaganda ceases to have the effect it once had over the
|
|
people and they begin to rise up and rebel. Unable to talk the populace down and
|
|
back into submission the government heightens the tension by bringing about what
|
|
we in modern times call a police state. In the end the result is always the same: the
|
|
people rise up and overthrow the government which has forsaken them and we are back
|
|
to square one.
|
|
|
|
The fact that current governments think they are somehow immune to this would be
|
|
laughable if it weren't a distinct possibility. At least in part. If a revolution
|
|
were to happen tomorrow the current government would be 'ousted' but the guilty
|
|
parties would be long gone, enjoying their ill-gotten gains somewhere else.
|
|
This is why we must resist the globalization efforts of those ruling over us. While
|
|
it may not be a full fledged "New World Order" type of globalization, our reliance on
|
|
coalitions and alliances make it easy for those responsible to escape punishment. We
|
|
simply cannot allow these people to get away with destroying our lives and I for one
|
|
refuse to stick around and deal with the fallout of their actions.

|
|
-::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::-
|
|
Hacking has taken on a life of it's own in modern society. From credit card fraud
|
|
to hacktivism, it has left its mark. For an anarchist, the single most important
|
|
aspect of security is the ability to protect your communications, especially now
|
|
that the government equates you to terrorists. Whether you are merely interested
|
|
in reclaiming a sense of personal freedom or if you are a hardcore activist who
|
|
believes their actions will have any lasting effect, it is vital for you to take
|
|
steps to protect yourself. On the digital front this often means utilizing some
|
|
sort of encryption. There exist many free programs out there to help you, though
|
|
I would recommend the following: GnuPG for e-mail, Jabber/XMPP with the OTR plugin
|
|
for instant messaging, and Tor for anonymous web browsing.
|
|
|
|
Aside from safe guarding your privacy you need to also be mindful of attempts to
|
|
compromise your system or e-mail accounts. Things like phishing e-mails should be
|
|
easy to spot, but drive-by downloads that exploit a vulnerability in your web browser
|
|
are more difficult to avoid. For situations like these, I recommend using the NoScript
|
|
plugin for Firefox and only allow sites you know and trust. Of course, if the government
|
|
has you in their sights they can easily guide you to a malicious server masquerading
|
|
as the real site and bypass the protection entirely -- hence, Tor. If you are using
|
|
Tor they will not be able to tell what site you are visiting, let alone serve you a
|
|
fake or doctored one.
|
|
|
|
For the more technically inclined, you might want to consider some kernel modifications
|
|
to combat things like the NSA's VALIDATOR program and others like it that probe your
|
|
system following a compromise looking for personal security products. If you can detect
|
|
the program as it looks through running processes and loaded modules you at least have a
|
|
fighting chance at preventing your system from being backdoored. Checksums on important
|
|
files is also ideal. Though entities like the NSA are unlikely to do something as obvious
|
|
as modifying files, the feds or your local police just might. Files of interest might
|
|
include the passwd file, shared objects pertaining to libc functions (prime targets for
|
|
rootkits), your local shell scripts (all kinds of badness can ensue), and any initramfs
|
|
you might use in conjunction with disk encryption. Think evil maid but without a need
|
|
to touch the boot sector.
|
|
|
|
As someone who got into computers relatively late in his life I have learned that it
|
|
is never too late to educate yourself about things that are important to the way the
|
|
world works. If you are reading this thinking that you are too old and too behind in
|
|
technology to keep up with the younger generations, let me ask you this: What's two
|
|
or three years in the end? The amount of information you can soak up in that time
|
|
frame is astounding. If anything, being older is a good thing as it means more free
|
|
time and patience to sit down and learn.

|
|
-: Importance of Fitness :-
|
|
-: :-
|
|
-::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::-
|
|
You may be wondering why I have included a section on personal fitness amidst a
|
|
trove of anti-establishment rants. The answer is partly because of how easy it
|
|
is to get caught up fighting the system and being too burned out for exercise.
|
|
I've seen it happen to a lot of people and it is a real shame. I've also included
|
|
it partly because of the exposure to harmful chemicals we face daily. If eating
|
|
right and exercising was important for you before it is absolutely imperative now.
|
|
|
|
You see guys worldwide packing themselves into gyms trying to put on muscle. There is
|
|
obviously nothing wrong with this, but their intentions usually aren't that, well,
|
|
noble for lack of a better term. For many, working out is done so solely to gain the
|
|
attention of women. For others it is to appear tough -- and while getting bigger
|
|
does make you stronger by virtue of having more muscle your efforts mean nothing if
|
|
you aren't actually willing to use your strength to defend yourself. Sure you'll
|
|
put on your best tough guy act, say all the right words and get up in the face of
|
|
some 'punk', after all, what can they do? You're the toughest around and they don't
|
|
know who they're messing with. Good luck keeping that mean mug when they come from
|
|
behind later and slit your throat wide open.
|
|
|
|
The point I am trying to make here is that just because you think that the parameters
|
|
of a conflict are limited to punches, kicks, and whatever MMA moves you saw on TV
|
|
last week doesn't mean that the other guy follows the same ideology. In the real
|
|
world you have to be ready for anything. You have to train your body for you, not
|
|
anyone else and you have to be realistic about what can happen. If you aren't willing
|
|
to break the law you have little business thinking of yourself as some sort of
|
|
ultimate badass, so if this sounds like you, drop the ego and avoid the unnecessary
|
|
risk it will bring.
|
|
|
|
On a lighter note, personal fitness isn't just limited to confronation with other
|
|
humans and it is still vital even in today's world. Sure, most of us aren't having
|
|
to go out there and hunt to put food on the table but it is always good to have
|
|
that option. When people think fitness they often think one of two things: cardio

|
or upperbody workouts. For guys it is easy to overlook cardio due to wanting to
|
|
bulk up but it is really important that you don't forget about it. If all you do
|
|
is work your upper body and nothing else you will be putting an additional strain
|
|
on your heart, on top of that which comes from lack of cardiovascular exercise.
|
|
|
|
The stress you might endure as an anarchist/activist or whatever will eventually
|
|
begin to take its toll on you if it goes unchecked. It can be hard to find time
|
|
to work out when dealing with work and other things, not to mention the added
|
|
stress that keeping up with world events brings. Even if you take ten minutes out
|
|
of your day, every other day, and go for a run you will be doing wonders for your
|
|
heart and overall personal health. Take care of yourself.

Due to the near disappearance of masculinity in modern times, there is an obvious
|
|
mental void in the lives of many males. When I say masculinity I am talking about
|
|
traditional male attributes, not the ones created by feminists that have sadly
|
|
become the norm. Being in touch with your feelings, refraining from any form of
|
|
violence, and whatever else they want that month, to name a few. This void is also
|
|
fully recognized and manipulated by the military in order to gain recruits. They
|
|
usually prey on one of two things: a lack of confidence in one's masculinity or the
|
|
fear of not being considered a patriot. Hollywood does it's part in exemplifying
|
|
these factors, but that's neither here nor there.
|
|
|
|
Growing up as a male you are bombarded with contradicting messages. You have the
|
|
feminists on one side shouting that you are not a real man if you are violent, and
|
|
the military shouting from the other that if you aren't in the military and engaging
|
|
in violence you are a coward or are weak.
|
|
|
|
Before any mouth frothing feminists jump on that statement to try and argue that the
|
|
military is somehow righteous or justified and only hurts enemy combatants, I would
|
|
suggest they look into just how many women and children their beloved military have
|
|
killed in cold blood. Society cannot have it both ways. Either violence is all well
|
|
and good, or it is heinous and should be done away with completely. Yeah, let's all
|
|
sit down and talk about things, we don't need violence. What do you think we are,
|
|
mindless brutes? Let's use our words and our minds to settle our differences. Let's
|
|
do these things to quell religious turmoil, settle territorial disputes, and address
|
|
the corporate lust for money and oil. It will work because we are intelligent and
|
|
civilized enough to refrain from violence. They will all listen and understand and
|
|
agree. The reality is that all of the aforementioned topics are the main catalysts
|
|
of war. The very same wars that your can-do-no-wrong militaries are fighting in each
|
|
and every day.
|
|
|
|
I really did not want to drag feminism into this but it is irrefutable fact that they
|
|
play a major role in immasculating men. Congratulations, you've systematically destroyed
|
|
an entire gender. Still think you aren't being listened to or aren't being treated
|
|
fairly enough? I can only wonder how feminists would feel if men (and women who would
|
|
be sympathetic to our 'cause') begun shaming the entire female sex over stereotypical
|
|
traits. Things like caring for and looking after children. Oh wait, men can do that too?
|
|
Cooking and cleaning? What, men can also cook and clean? But these are POSITIVE things
|
|
you're talking about unlike VIOLENCE you say. Well I'm sorry to break it to you but
|
|
violence has an essential place in the world too and it is not exclusive to one
|
|
particular gender. Would you not defend your children? Yourself? How about if someone
|
|
took the life of someone you cared about? That's right, sit them down and tell them
|
|
how you feel what they did was wrong. Whether people own up to it or not the impulses
|
|
to use violence are there, just supressed. Whatever the reasons are for suppressing
|
|
them it is not a healthy thing to do. You may think you're taking the moral high
|
|
ground but what you are really doing is being stupid and destroying your body. I'm
|
|
not saying to go around hitting people at the slightest provocation, but to suggest
|
|
that violence has no place in society is just plain ignorant. It is interesting that
|
|
most of the people denouncing violence are those who would do poorly at carrying it out.
|
|
Maybe it's a self-preservation thing. Neutralize those who are a threat to you by making
|
|
them ashamed of their physical strength. Who knows.
|
|
|
|
More often than not though, the reason is fear of the law. If someone has murdered
|
|
your child for example, you would have some collection of words tell you that you
|
|
can't retaliate? It is situations like these that have me questioning even the most
|
|
serious atheists. Okay, so you're too smart, clever and informed to believe in and
|
|
take orders from an imaginary man in the sky, but you would base every action you take
|
|
in life around what some humans have said? Surely the very same intellect that helped
|
|
you steer clear of religion should be able to pick up on the blatant manipulation
|
|
that is the law? Similarly the question could be posed to people who are religious
|
|
themselves: If there is a god and their word is absolute, why then do you choose to
|
|
follow lesser laws made by man? I think it is time to be realistic about things and
|
|
drop the facades. Religion and the law are no different. They both involve mass
|
|
amounts of made up scripture that dictate the do's and dont's of your life. Both
|
|
exist only to control and frighten you out of breaking their rules.
|
|
|
|
It is also curious the number of prisoners who find religion while incarcerated.
|
|
If they are already having one form of rules shoved down their throats why not
|
|
have another? Religion and law actually go hand in hand quite ironically. If a
|
|
citizen doesn't just blindly accept the claims of religion then just use plain fear
|
|
and threat of punishment to get them to do what you want. I always get a kick out of
|
|
comparing the definition of terrorism to the application of law.
|
|
|
|
Merriam-Webster:
|
|
----------------
|
|
"The use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to
|
|
achieve a political goal"
|
|
|
|
Oxford Dictionary:
|
|
------------------
|
|
"The unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of
|
|
political aims"
|
|
|
|
Sounds an awful lot like how policing works, no? Oh, silly me, the people perpetuating
|
|
the violence have declared their actions "official" so everything is okay. Moving on.
|
|
|
|
Notice how most military types are of the "god fearing" variety, especially high
|
|
ranking members. Since regular law doesn't always apply to the military it shouldn't
|
|
really be any surprise that religion has taken its place.
|
|
|
|
While there is far more to masculinity than violence, I would only ask that feminists
|
|
and the like refrain from trying to define an entire gender based on their specific
|
|
world views. When a child is exposed to propaganda early on in their lives and
|
|
throughout their adolescence it is very hard for them to change their views down the
|
|
line. It is no different than teaching religion to a child. You are most likely never
|
|
going to change their views as an adult and even if you succeed they will spend the
|
|
rest of their lives having to consciously supress old beliefs in place of new ones.
|
|
What people believe should always be their choice.

|
|
In reality there are no laws, no rules, no punishments, no enforcement of any kind.
|
|
You do what you can and take what you need. Others do the same. If someone doesn't
|
|
like what you are doing they will try and stop you; these days this means calling
|
|
the police. If they manage to stop you, then that is what happens. If not, you get
|
|
to see these words in action. Reality holds no absolutes and you have as much
|
|
influence on the outcome of a situation as you allow yourself to have.
|
|
|
|
On the topic of arrests, think of it like this. They say that if you break the law
|
|
you will be arrested and prosecuted "to the fullest extent of the law". If that were
|
|
true then I would be serving a thousand consecutive life sentences yet I haven't
|
|
spent a night in jail, much less federal prison. If that were true there would be no
|
|
corruption in the political world or drone strikes on innocent women and children
|
|
abroad going unpunished. What keeps the rich, the elite and members of the boys in
|
|
blue out of trouble is their money and favors from the system, assuming their mis-
|
|
conduct isn't ignored outright. What keeps an anarchist free depends on circumstance
|
|
and the skills he/she possesses. You do not get to enjoy the same luxuries as those
|
|
who would love to see you behind bars. Protecting their own almost comes naturally to
|
|
them because it is essential that they stick together and are able to outnumber you.
|
|
|
|
It is generally a good idea to keep a low profile. There really is nothing to be
|
|
gained from going around on the streets protesting and announcing how much you hate
|
|
the establishment. It will only paint a target on your back and make it that much
|
|
easier for them to single you out. Your best defense is your anonymity. This is not
|
|
to say that you are hiding, however -- it is merely a tactical decision and it works
|
|
both ways. For example, if the police were to announce their identities, time and
|
|
location before a raid then their plans would fall through or would be susceptible to
|
|
being countered. This is essentially what you are doing every time you engage in
|
|
street protests. Strategically it just doesn't make sense.
|
|
|
|
Without fear police are useless. If everyone resisted every time, it would be near
|
|
impossible for the police to enforce anything. Imagine a scenario where citizens
|
|
valued their freedoms above all else. In this world police corruption simply could
|
|
not exist, let alone thrive. If they were to for example attempt an arrest of an
|
|
innocent citizen who has done nothing but refuse to cower in their presence, you
|
|
might see bystanders coming to his aide and preventing the arrest from taking place.
|
|
It is disgusting that this sounds to most people like a delusional fantasy. Sadly,
|
|
this is the world we are living in, where people would be more likely to snap a
|
|
photo for their Facebook page than jump in and defend a fellow human against blatant
|
|
power tripping.
|
|
|
|
If the thought of completely removing yourself from society doesn't appeal to you
|
|
there is good news. You don't have to become a mountain man and isolate yourself
|
|
from the rest of society. Take what you want from it and play along to the extent
|
|
that it suits you. Society is going to exist whether you like it or not, so you
|
|
might as well exploit it like everyone else, only with fewer limitations and a
|
|
broader understanding of why you're doing it.
|
|
|
|
No one truly cares about the law. At least not when it is their turn to follow it.
|
|
Not the establishment, not the people under its rule, and certainly not the top
|
|
corporations. Everyone seems to think that the law is necessary and without it we
|
|
would find ourselves living in chaos. Look around. The most influential entities
|
|
in this world are completely lawless and the problems they cause in the name of
|
|
profits can rightly be considered the chaos you speak of. Poverty, murder, and
|
|
complete unaccountability on the part of a select few. This is the world we are
|
|
already living in, so please don't waste your time telling me about how it is
|
|
important that we don't jay walk, litter or download a few MP3's without the
|
|
artist's permission (hah, right). They have taken hypocrisy to unseen heights
|
|
with their claims that our civil disobediance is terroristic activity. Through
|
|
various media platforms they try and fill our heads with whatever distractions
|
|
they think will work against us at the time so that they can continue doing
|
|
what they do unquestioned. When someone makes a political statement that
|
|
paints the police in a bad light you immediately see some heart-felt story
|
|
covered in which the police are shown to be kind heroes.
|
|
|
|
You often see people attempting to shame individuals by pointing out that they
|
|
have a problem with authority. Any self respecting person SHOULD have a problem
|
|
with authority. The types of personality traits that reject authority are often
|
|
indicative of the alpha male role that once existed. Police officers love to play
|
|
the role of alpha male when they know people are going to be afraid of them, or
|
|
when they are armed to the teeth and aided by backup. The existence of modern day
|
|
policing has essentially allowed for, and I hate using these terms, the "beta" male
|
|
to ascend to what he believes is a higher status. This self-promotion to artificial
|
|
alpha male goes straight to their heads and things get ugly fast.
|
|
|
|
We could end world hunger if we really wanted to. The tax breaks of large corporations
|
|
alone could take care of it. What's a few billion dollars to them collectively? Sure
|
|
they toss a bit of money to starving nations every now and then for food but that
|
|
is just a bandaid. If we pooled our funds and send a modest amount to these places
|
|
we could set them up with the tools they need to sustain themselves. I understand that
|
|
certain places in Africa just aren't ideal for industrialization but there are other
|
|
ways for them to turn a profit.
|
|
|
|
We are living in a world where democracy is a hollow term and our voices are going
|
|
unheard. They say actions speak louder than words, and it's true. To anyone reading
|
|
this, please don't waste your time trying to get the attention of your government
|
|
so you can tell them how angry you are or how corrupt they are. They are well aware
|
|
that you don't like what they're doing. If they cared at all I wouldn't have a reason
|
|
to be writing this. If activism is something you absolutely must do then maybe try
|
|
an alternative route -- one that will accomplish more than getting your name appended
|
|
to a watch list. Rather than taking to the streets with a megaphone or a sign, create
|
|
information packages and drop them off around your city. Cars, mailboxes, light posts,
|
|
bus stops, newspaper stands and doorsteps are all good spots. Make them engaging and
|
|
capable of appealing to the younger crowds. Organize offline if you no longer trust
|
|
electronic communication. Don't afford them the luxury of being prepared. When enough
|
|
of us finally wake up and we come for them our message will be heard loud and clear,
|
|
and the more of us that they can't pre-emptively target the better. They love instilling
|
|
the triad of fear, uncertainty and doubt in us, so why not give them a taste of their
|
|
own medicine?
|
|
|
|
What are they to do when despite their billions spent on electronic surveillance
|
|
and mainstream media brainwashing we refuse to be ignored? How will they feel
|
|
knowing that we, the enemy, could be anywhere and they are unable to identify us?
|
|
Truth be told, their own paranoia will destroy them before the fight even begins
|
|
and the cracks have already begun to show.

|
Hopefully you enjoyed reading the e-zine. While the aim here isn't to entertain
|
|
I have tried to present the information in a digestable way that doesn't leave
|
|
you clawing your eyes out. I apologize if you found it to be a bit rushed; I
|
|
wrote this in a night. There were a lot of things floating around my head that
|
|
had culminated over the years and I decided it was time to just let it all out.
|
|
|
|
Obviously there will be those whose knee-jerk reactions will include claims that
|
|
I am crazy or delusional or whatever the fuck else makes them feel better about
|
|
living in this world. There will be people who will read what I've written and
|
|
want to find something, anything, to latch onto in an attempt to nullify everything
|
|
that has been said. It could be my writing style, the way I hop from topic to topic,
|
|
the things I chose not to discuss, or things I just plain forgot about. I don't care.
|
|
Despite the presentation of this text it is merely a long rant and should be read with
|
|
that in mind. I took great pains in categorizing everything as you see it now and I
|
|
sincerely hope that you were able to take something positive away from it.
|
|
|
|
The only reason I took on this idea was because I am pissed off about the way things
|
|
are and wanted an outlet. I'd have kept it to myself but I figured there might be someone
|
|
else out there with similar views who might find solace in the fact they aren't alone.
|
|
It is not a nice feeling when you realize that the things that are bothering you cannot
|
|
be discussed openly with most people for fear that they will not understand. I may or
|
|
may not write another issue, so to keep that option open I have labelled this document
|
|
volume one, though even as I am writing this I feel it would be a pointless endeavor.
|
|
I don't mean that in a defeatist sort of way, I just don't see the point. There will
|
|
always be more things to rant about but I think we can all agree that everything is
|
|
well and truly fucked and we've pretty much covered all the talking points we possibly
|
|
can. It really comes down to how many more people will be willing to listen and get
|
|
engaged in the real world around them. Programs like Breaking The Set are a great
|
|
start for those wishing to come out of their shells and begin to inform themselves.
|
|
Sadly there is no happy medium and you will reach a point where you find yourself
|
|
having to go all-in or back out as too much exposure to the awful truth is unsurprisingly
|
|
a fast way to burn yourself into the ground. It is for this reason that I can no
|
|
longer watch it on a regular basis. Thankfully if this happens and you are able to
|
|
recover from the burn out you will be that much stronger for it. It is natural to burn
|
|
out at some point. The question is whether or not you will be rejoining the fight once you do.
|
|
|
|
In closing I would like to say that I have broken virtually every law that exists and
|
|
I am still here. I live my life however I want to, as a man who is truly free. Some
|
|
might call me a criminal, a monster, or evil. Others will call me kind, generous and
|
|
caring. I enjoy helping as much as I enjoy hurting. I have a backbone and I am honest
|
|
enough to admit these things. I am neither good nor bad. I am a human and I am free.
|
|
|
|
Thanks for reading.
