Freedom in an Enslaved Society

If the Universe does not belong to me,
to whom does it belong?

Our society has been led to believe that force, fraud, lies, plunder, expropriation, enslavement and murder are practical.

Many people refuse to identify... that industrial, scientific, technological
or artistic "wealth" is the "product" of a person's mind.   That an
"incalculable" amount of intellectual and creative thinking... together with
disciplined energy... and human genius... has gone into the creation...
of these fortunes.

People such as   Tesla, Keely, or people like Rachel Carson,
who use the "creative process" of their minds and change the world.

The people who "create, produced, invented," in many cases... have
increased the quality of life for everyone... and made life easier, safer,
or gave employment.... to those without.   Many people take these
advances for granted.

The intellect... is a guide to human's successful existence on Earth,
and it's task is a study of reality.   The morality of "altruism" is the morality...
that damns all those... who achieve success or enjoyment on Earth!

I do not believe in the rationality or morality...
of those who would demand the right to
enforce their ideas... at the point of a gun.

Through the power of a government... that compels the submission of
others... to the views and wishes... of those who have gained control...
of the government's machinery.

They have extolled the state... as the "form of the good", with humans
as their abject servants.

In reality, we employ them… with our taxes… they should be serving
"our" interests, not their own. We have become a socialist and Imperialist country.

Socialism is the doctrine... that humans have no right to exist for
themselves. That their life and work do not "belong" to them… but
"belong" to the Government.

In effect, saying that the only justification... for their existence is
to serve the Government and the Government... may dispose
of them... in any way it pleases.

For the sake of whatever it deems... to be it's own tribal, "collective"
good.

"Guilt" and "fear" are the disintegrators
of a human's consciousness or of a society's culture...

America's culture... is being splintered by the 3 directives, which
permeate our intellectual atmosphere and society.

They are typical of guilt: "Don't look, Don't judge, Don't be
certain". The real meaning and implementation of these are:
"Don't integrate, Don't evaluate, Give up". No consciousness...
can accept "Disintegration", as a normal and permanent state.

Science was born... as a result and consequence of Philosophy.
It cannot survive... without a philosophical base. If philosophy
perishes, science will be the next to go.

The directive: "Don't judge", is the ultimate climax of "altruist",
self-sacrificing morality, which today... can be seen in it's
naked essence.

When humans plead for forgiveness... of an un-confessed evil…
when they react with instantaneous compassion to any guilt...
to the "perpetrators" of any atrocity, while turning away
indifferently from the bleeding bodies.... of the victims and
the innocent.

One can see the actual purpose, motive, and
psychological appeal... of the "altruistic code".

And when these same compassionate people turn with snarling
hatred upon anyone... who pronounces moral judgments… when
they scream... that the only evil... is the determination to fight
against evil, one can see... the kind of moral "blank check"...
that the "altruist" morality hands out.

A dictator, like any "thug", runs from the first sign... of a
confidant resistance. He can rise "only" in a society, that feels
automatically guilty... and fears change, and is a society... that
invites a "thug" to take over.

The task of resisting a dictator... can be accomplished... only
by humans... who "think" and hold their convictions... with
certainty. Not by chickens, who hide their heads in the sand.

Our government's premises are:   "That a person's mind,
intelligence, creative ability.... are a National Resource.   Like
mines, oil fields, forests, waterfalls, buffalo reserves, and
national parks... to be taken over, subsidized, and disposed
of... by the government.

We, who "think for ourselves", are accused of being "selfish
autocrats", because we are struggling... to preserve freedom.

While the "liberal conservatives" are the true "champions of
liberty", because they are fighting for more government control...
That "dictatorship" is not "dictatorship"... if nobody... calls it
by that "abstract" name.

Nobody believes any of it any longer, yet nobody opposes it.
To oppose anything… one needs a firm set of principles, which
means a philosophy.

It cannot be our philosophy... to appease our worst enemies, to
placate our most contemptible attackers... try to make terms
with our "own" destroyers.

No human being, who has a trace of personal worth, can
be willing to surrender their life... without lifting a hand, or
a mind... to defend it!

Do people have "no self"? Do they live within others? Do they live secondhand? A power without responsibility?

They forgive criminals, but seem to admire dictators. Crime and
violence... are a tie.   A form of mutual dependence.
They need ties... They've got to force their miserable "little"
personalities... on every single person... they meet.

Notice the malignant kind of resentment... against any idea...
that propounds independence.

Every form of happiness... is private.   Our greatest moments...
are personal, self-motivated, not to be touched!

The things which are sacred or precious to us, are the
things... we withdraw from promiscuous sharing!

Nature allows no vacuum… empty a person's soul.. and the
space is "theirs" to fill! "

Sacrifice, renunciation, self-denial",   "Give up!   Give up!   Give up!"

Society has tied "happiness" to guilt.

Remarkably, not only the government.... preaches these directives...
but also the church!     Every system of ethics... that preached
"sacrifice", grew into a World Power... and ruled millions of men.

Just listen to any prophet and if you hear him speak,
"Sacrifice"... Run!  Run!

It stands to reason... that where there's a "sacrifice", there's
someone collecting "sacrificial offerings".

The man or leader... who speaks to you of sacrifice... speaks
of slaves and masters!

But if ever you hear a man telling you... that you must be
happy, that it's your natural right, that your first duty... is to
yourself... that will be the rare man... who's not after your soul.

We praise an act of charity.    We shrug at an act of achievement…
People have been taught... that their first concern... is to relieve
the suffering of others.

But suffering... is a disease, and should one come upon it, one
tries to give relief and assistance. To make that the highest test...
of virtue, however, is to make "suffering"... the most important
part of Life!

Then man must "wish" to see others suffering... The choice is...
not self-sacrifice or domination. The choice is... independence or
dependence. Life or death.

The world is perishing…
from an Orgy of self-sacrificing!
