Survival Of The Fittest Through Might

Visions of the Rewilding Renaissance Rewilding Mind & Heart
#1

[b]My whole conception of survival is on the notions of strength,courage,might,independence and self sufficiency.

Here is many quotes from one of my favorite books called Might Is Right By Ragnar Redbeard ( AKA fake pen name unknown writer.)[/b]

[b]What is your "civilization and progress" if its only outcome is hysteria and downgoing?

What is “government and law” if their ripened harvests are men without sap?

What are “religions and literatures” if their grandest productions are hordes of faithful slaves?

What is " evolution and culture" if their noxious blossoms are sterilized women?

What is education and enlightenment if their dead-sea-fruit is a caitiff race, with rotteness in its bones?[/b]

[b]All Else Is Error.

The natural world is a world of war; the natural man is a warrior; the natural law is tooth and claw. All else is error. A condition of combat everywhere exists. We are born into perpetual conflict. It is our inheritance even as it was the heritage of previous generations. This “condition of combat” may be disguised with the holy phrases of St. Francis or the soft deceitful doctrines of a Kropotkin or Tolstoi, but it cannot be eventually evaded by any human being or any tribe of human beings. It is there and it stays there, and each man ( whether he will or not) has to reckon with it. It rules all things; it governs all things; it reigns over all things and it decides all who imagine policemanized populations,internationally regulated transquility, and State organized industrialism so joyful blessed and divine.[/b]

[b]Standard " moral principles" are arbitrarily assumed by their orthodox apologist to be a fixed and unalterable quantity, and that to doubt the divine rightness of these " principles" is treason and sacrilege. When the greatest thinkers of a race are incapable, or afraid to perform their manifest and logical function, it is scarcely to be wondered that average citizens are also somewhat unwilling to " risk life,fortune and sacred honor" for the overthrow of popularized "right and wrong" concepts, that they know from bitter personal expirience, are unworkable falsities. Although the average man feels in his heart that nearly all political and religious conventionalisms are dynamic deceits, yet how cautiously he avoids any open display of antagonism thereto? He has not the courage of his opinions. He is afraid to say openly what he thinks secretly. In other words he is living in a state of subjectiveness; of vassalage. He allows his brain to be dominated and held in bondage by the brain of another. From his infancy he has been deliberately subjected to a continuous external pressure, especially designed to coerce his understanding into strict accord with pre-arranged views of moral,political or religious "duty."

He has not been permitted one moment of real mental liberty. He is imbibed fraudulent conventionalisms with his mother’s milk. He listens to the most hideous lies being glorified in his presence as sublime truths. He hears falsehoods sung in swelling chorus. He hears them intoned by congregations of the faithful amid peals of sacred music, and the solemn roll of chanted prayer. Thus his mind is sterilized by authority before it has had a chance to mature.

Thus youth is mentally castrated, that its natural vitality may be afterwards used up in the yoke of custom- which is the yoke of slavery.

In the nursery at school, and at college, plastic brain pulp is deliberately forced into the pre-arranged mould. Everything that a corrupt civilization can do is done to compress the growing intellect into unnatural channels. Thus the great mass of men who inhabit the world of today have no initiative, no originality or independence of thought, but are mere subjective individualities, who have never had the slightest voice in fashioning the ideals that they formally revere.

Although the average man has taken no part in manufacturing moral codes and statute laws , yet how he obeys them with dog like submissiveness? He is trained to obedience like oxen are broken to the yoke of their masters. He is a born thrall habituated from childhood to be governed by others.[/b]

[b]Modern " leaders of thought" are almost wholly wanting in originality and courage. Their wisdom is foolishness, their remedies poison. They idiotically claim that they guide the destinies of nations,whereas, in reality, they are but the flotsam and scum froth that glides smoothly down the dark stream of decadence.

" Thus all the people of the earth are helpless, Seeing those that lead are blind."

Mankind is aweary,aweary of its sham prophets; its demagogues and its statemen. It crieth out for kings and heroes. It demands a nobility- a nobility that cannot be hired with money, like slaves or beasts of burden.

The world awaits the coming of mighty men of valor,great destroyers; ( destroyers of all that is vile,angels of death. We are sick unto nausea of the " good Lord Jesus," terror stricken under the executive of priest,mob and preconsul.

We are tired to death of equality. Gods are at a discount,devils are in demand. He who would rule the coming age, must be hard,cruel and deliberately intrepid, for softness assails not successfully the idols of the multitude. Those idols must be smashed into fragments, burnt into ashes and that cannot be done by the gospel of love.

The living forces of evil are to be found in the living ideals of today.

The commandments and laws and moral codes that we are called upon to reverence and obey are themselves the insidious enginery of decadence.

It is moral principles that manufacture beggars. It is golden rules that glorify meekness. It is statute laws that make spaniels of men.

A man may keep every one of the ten commandments and yet remain a fool all the days of his life.

He may obey every written law of the land, and yet be a caitiff and a slave.

He may " love Jesus," delight in the golden rule and yet continue to the hour of his death, a failure and dependent.

Truly the way to hell is by fulfilling the commandments of god. [/b]

[b]The idea of hell is in some respects a truthful conception,suggestive of actual fact. If we terrestialize the location, there is nothing inharmonious about it.

Many a race, many a tribe, and many a mighty empire has gone down into a grimly realistic sheol.[/b]

[b]In actual operation nature is cruel and merciless to men, as to all other beings. Let a tribe of human animals live a rational life, nature will smile upon them and their posterity; but let them attempt to organize an unnatural mode of existence an equality elysium and they will be punished even to the point of extermination.[/b]
[b]All ethics, politics and philosophies are pure assumptions, built upon other assumptions. They rest on no sure basis. They are but shadowy castles in the air erected by day dreamers, or by rogues, upon nursery fables.

It is time they were firmly planted upon an enduring foundation.[/b]

[b]In no human brain can sufficient space be found, for the relentless logic of hard fact, until all pre-existent delusions have been finally annihilated.

Half measures are no avail, we must go down to the very roots and tear them out, even to the last fibre.

We must be like nature, hard ,cruel ,relentless.

Too long the dead hand has been permitted to sterilize living thought- too long, right and wrong, good and evil, have been inverted by false prophets.

In the days that are at hand, neither creed nor code must be accepted upon authority, human, superhuman or ‘divine’.

( Morality and conventionalism are for subordinates.)

Religions and constitutions and all arbitrary principles, every mortal theorem,must be deliberately put to the question. No moral dogma must be taken for granted- no standard of measurement deified.

There is nothing inherently sacred about moral codes. Like the wooden idols of long ago, they are all the work of human hands, and what man has made, man can destroy[/b]

[b]Wherever, therefore, a lie has built unto itself a throne, let it be assailed without pity and without regret, for under the domination of a falsehood, no nation can permantly prosper. Let established sophisms be dethroned,rooted out, burnt and destroyed, for they are a standing menace to all true nobility of thought and action. Whatever alleged "truth" us proven by results to be but an empty fiction, let it be unceremoniously flung into the outer darkness, among the dead gods,dead empires,dead philosophies and other useless lumber and wreckage.[/b]
#3
[b]The most dangerous of all enthroned lies is the holy, the sanctified, the privileged lie- the lie that "everybody" believes to be model truth. It is the fruitful mother of all other popular errors and delusions.

It is hydra-headed. It has a thousand roots. It is a social cancer. The lie that is known to be a lie is half eradicated around a mother’s knee- is more dangerous to contend against than a creeping pestilence.

Popular lies have ever been the most potent enemies of personal liberty. There is only one way to deal with them.

Cut them out, to the very core, just as cancers are. Exterminate them root and branch, or they will eat us all up. We must annihilate them, or they will us. Half and half remedies are of no avail.

However when a lie has gone too far- when it has taken up its abode in the very tissues,bones and brains of a people, then all remedies are useless. Even the lancet is of no avail. Repentance of past misdeeds cannot “save” decadents from extermination.

The fatal bolt is shot; and into the fiery furnace of wholesale slavery, and oblivion, they must go, to be there righteously consumed.[/b]

[b]In nature the wages of sin is always death. Nature does not love the wrong-doer, but endeavors in every possible way to destroy him. Her curse is on the brow of the "meek and lowly." Her blessing is on the very hearts' blood of the strong and the brave.[/b]
[b]Whatsoever a people believeth shall make it free, enslave it, or corrode its very marrow in strict accordance with natural order. Consequently if a people place implicit faith in what philosophers teach them, they are liable to be duped. If many nations are so duped, their deception is a menace to the liberty of the world.

Free men should never regulate their conduct by the suggestions or dicta of others, for when they do so, they are no longer free.

No man ought to obey any contract, written or implied, except he himself has given his personal and formal adherence thereto, when in a state of mental maturity and unrestrained liberty.

It is only slaves that are born into contracts,signed and sealed by their progenitors. The freeman is born free, lives free and dies free.[/b]

[b]There is no obligation upon any man to passive obedience, when his life, his liberty and his property are threatened by footpad,assasin or statesman.[/b]
#4
[b]Under the name of progress and social evolution, mankind has been lured into foated dungeons, where it labors unceasingly and for naught, in darkness, despair and shame. Who talks nowadays of the " sovereign people," without a laugh of derision? Their 'sovereignty' is now acknowledged sham, and their freedom a dream.[/b]
[b]He who saith unto himself, " I must believe, I must not question" is not a man but a mere pusilanimous mental gelding. He who believes " because it has been handed down" is a menial in his heart; and he who believes " because it has been written" is a fool in his folly. Sagacious spirits doubt all things and hold fast only to that which is demonstrably true.

The rules of life are not to be found in Korans,Bibles, Decalogues and Constitutions, but rather the rules of decadence and death. The laws of laws is not written in Hebrew consonants or upon tables of brass and stone, but in every man’s own heart.

He who obeys any standard of right and wrong, but the one set up by his own conscience, betrays himself into the hands of his enemies, who are ever laying in wait to bind him to their millstones. And generally a man’s most dangerous enemies are his neighbors.

Masterful men laugh with contempt at spiritual thunders and have no occasion to dread the decisions of any human tribunal. They are above and beyond all that. Laws and regulations are only for conquered vassals.

The free man does not require them. Statute books and golden rules, were made to fetter slaves and fools.

Very useful are they, for controling the herds of sentenced convicts, who fill the factories, and cultivate the fields. All moral principles, therefore are the servitors, not the masters of the strong. Power made moral codes and power abrogates them. [/b]

#5
[b]A man is under no obligation to obey anything or anybody.

It is only serving men that must obey, because they are caitiffs by birth,breeding and condition.

Morals are only required in an immoral community, that is to say a community held in a state of conquest.

Fear god, bridle the spirit and obey the law, is advice most excellent, as from a philosopher to a yokel, but when directed in all earnestness at a man of inherent might, he smiles to himself in silent scorn.

Full well he knows that in actual life the path to victory and renown does not lie through gethsemanies, but over fallen enemies, the ruins of rival combines, through Aceldamas. " Meekness of spirit" is regarded by him as a convenient superstition, very useful for regulating the lives of his servants, his women and his children, but otherwise inoperative.[/b]

[b]The " common people" have always had to be befooled with some written or wooden or golden idol- some constitution, declaration or gospel.

Consequently a majority of them have ever been mental thralls, living and dying in atmosphere of strong illusion. They are befooled and hypnotized even to this hour, and a large proportion of them remain so until time is no more.

Is it not a fact that in actual life , the ballot box votes of ten million subjective personalities are as thistle down in the balance, when weighed against the far seeing thought, and material prowess of , say, ten strong silent men? [/b]

[b]It is notorious , universally so, that the blackest falsehoods are ever decked out in the most brilliant and gorgeous regalia. Clearly, therefore it is the brave man's duty to regard all sacred things, all legal things, all constitutional things, all holy things , with more than usual suspicion.

" I deny and I affirm," is the countersign of material freedom. " I believe, and I obey" is the shibboleth of serfage.

Belief is a flunkey, a feminine- Doubt is a creator, a master.

He who denies fundamentals is in triple armor clad. Indeed he is invulnerable. On the otherhand, it has been said that every belief, every philosophy, has some truth in it, but so we might add has every insanity.[/b]

#6
[b]Change is not progress, nor numbers advance.[/b]
[b]Everyone who would be free must show his power.

Unalterable remains the basis of all earthly greatness.

He who exalteth himself shall be exalted, and he who humbleth himself shall be righteously trodden beneath the hoofs of the herd. The humble are only fit for dogs meat. Bravery includes every virtue, humility, every crime. He who is afraid to risk his life must never be permitted to win anything.

Human rights and wrongs are not determined by justice, but by might. Disguise it as you may, the naked sword is still king maker and king breaker as of yore. All other theories are lies and lures.[/b]

[b]Though , the survival of the strongest is the logic of events, yet personal cowardice is the great vice of our demoralized age. Cowardice is corroding the brain and blood of our species, but men have learnt to disguise this terrible infirmity behind the canting whine of humanity and goodness.

Words flow instead of blood, and terrible insults are exchanged, instead of terrible blows.

How rich this degenerate world is in small, petty souled, good for nothings, who are forever excusing their infantile ineptitude behind some plausable phrase- some conventional make believe?

Courage I say! Courage, not goodness is the great desideratum.[/b]

[b]Is the Golden Rule a rational rule- Is it not rather a menial rule- a coward rule- a best policy rule?

Why is it right for one man to do unto others as he would have others do to him and, what is right? If others are unable to injure him or do good to him, why should he consider them at all? Why should he take any more notice of them than of so many worms?

If they are endeavoring to injure and able to do it, why should he refrain from returning the compliment? Should he not combat them, does it not give them carte blanche to injure and destroy him?

May it not be doing good to others, to war against them, to annihilate them? May it not also be good for them to war against others?

( Again, what is good?)[/b]

[b]Is it reasonable to ask preying animals, to do unto others as they would be done by- If they acted accordingly would they, could they survive?

If some only accepted the golden rule as their guiding moral maxim, would they not become a prey to those who refused to abide thereby?

Upon what reasonable and abiding sanction does this rule rest- Has it ever been in actual operation among men- Can it ever be successfully practiced on earth- or anywhere else?

These questions require no formal answering. They answer themselves in asking. And here it must be remembered that the best test of a witness, is cross examination. [/b]

#7
[b]Love one another you say is the supreme law but what power made it so- Upon what rational authority does the gospel of love rest? Is it even possible of practice, and what would result from its universal application of active affairs? Why should I not hate mine enemies, and hunt them down like the wild beasts that they are? Again I ask, why? If I love them does that not place me at their mercy? Is it natural for enemies to do good unto each other and, what is good?

Can the torn and bloody victim love the blood splashed jaws that rend it limb from limb? Are we not predatory animals by instinct? If humans cease wholly from preying upon each other could they continue to exist?

Love your enemies and do good to them that hate you and despitefully use you, ’ is the despicable philosophy of the spaniel that rolls upon its back, when kicked. Obey it O! reader, and you and all your posterity to the tenth generation shall be irretrievably and literally damned. They shall be hewers of wood and carriers of water,degenerates,Gibeonites.

But hate your enemies with a whole heart, and if a man smite you on one cheek, smash him down: smite him hip and thigh for self preservation is the highest law.[/b]

[b]Give blow for blow, scorn for scorn, doom for doom; with compound interest liberally added thereunto. Eye for eye,tooth for tooth,aye four fold, a hundred fold. Make yourself a terror to your adversary and when he goeth his way, he will possess much additional wisdom to ruminate over.[/b]
[b]If realities are derived from the golden rule and if the golden rule is the word of god, then can it be doubted that the word of god is the word of fraud.

There is far too much of this ghastly goodness in the nation,far and away too much. It is time men who can think begin to emancipate themselves, and consider the fact that:- Morals,laws and decalogues were made by liars,thieves and rogues.[/b]

#8
[b]All good citizens however are hereby warned and solemnly advised, not to smash up the ten commandments- not to burn up the golden rule- not to break up the moral law- for that would be terribly wicked! Terribly!

On the otherhand they must obey all law implicitly ( no matter how it orginated.) and be sure ( above everything) to order themselves lowly and reverently before executive officers of the law; even if in doing so, they are deprived of their property, and their liberty forever.

Obedience you see is of god who so loveth the world but disobedience is horrible and of the devil, and the devil is a frightful rascal, who has not the slightest respect for anybody or anything: not even the American constitution. Let us curse the devil then and obey- the law.

Liberty is honestly definable as a state of complete bodily and mental self mastership ( which includeth the possession of property; also defensive weapons.) and thorough going independence from all official coercion or restraint. Liberty in the conventional sense is a miserable lie.

To be independent is synonymous with proprietorship. To be propertyless and unarmed is the condition of actual dependence and servitude.

Unarmed citizens are always enslaved citizens, always.[/b]

[b]Liberty regulated by law is in practice, tyranny of the darkest and foulest description; because its so impersonal. There are numerous worthy, reasonable, and practical methods whereby individual tyrants may be removed; but a tyranny of regulated by law is only removable by one method- the sword in the hands of men who are not afraid to use it, or have it used against them: that is to say- the swords in the hands of the strongest.[/b]

[b]Blessed are the strong for they shall possess the earth- cursed are the weak for they shall inherit the yoke.

Blessed are the powerful for they shall be reverenced among men- cursed are the feeble for they shall be blotted out.

Blessed are the bold for they shall be masters of the world- cursed are the humble for they shall be trodden under hoofs. Blessed are the victorius for victory is the basis of right- cursed are the vanquished for they shall be vassals forever.

Blessed are the battle blooded, beauty shall smile upon them- cursed are the poor in spirit they shall be spat upon. Blessed are the audacious for they have imbibed true wisdom- cursed are the obedient for they shall breed creeplings.

Blessed are the iron handed, the unfit shall flee before them- cursed are the haters of battle,subjugation is their portion.

Blessed are the death defiant, their days shall be long in the land- cursed are the feebled brained, for they shall perish amidst plenty.

Blessed are the destroyers of false hope they are the true messiahs- cursed are the god adorers they shall be as shorn sheep.

Blessed are the valiant for they shall obtain great treasure.

Cursed are the believers in good and evil for they are frighted by shadows.

Blessed are they who believe in nothing never shall it terrorize their minds.

Cursed are the lambs of god they shall be bled wither than snow.[/b]

[b]Blessed is the man who hath powerful enemies, they make him a hero- cursed is he who doeth good unto others he shall be despised.

Blessed the man whose foot is swift to serve a friend he is a friend indeed-cursed are the organizers of charities, they are propagators of plagues.

Blessed are the wise and brave for in the struggle they win-cursed are the unfit for they shall be righteously exterminated.

Blessed are the sires of noble maidens they are the salt of the earth.-cursed the mothers of strumous tenderlings for they shall be shamed.

Blessed are the mighty minded for they shall ride the whirl winds-cursed are they who teach lies for truth and truth for lies, for they are abomination.

Blessed are the unmerciful, their posterity shall own the world-cursed are the pitiful for they receive no pity. Blessed are the destroyers of idols for they shall be feared by tyrants- cursed are the famous wiselings their seed shall perish off the earth. Thrice cursed are the vile for they shall serve and suffer.[/b]

[b]Just as the spider weaves his silky web to lure flies into the larder of his banqueting hall. In order that he may at his leisure pick the flesh off their bones, so deceitful ideals are cunningly woven by dexterous political spiders to capture and exploit swarms of human flies.

What are the grandoise paragraphs of the declaration of independence, but the weft and woof of a dazing spider web? And what are the American people but the flies that have been cleverly entangled in its gossamer meshes? For over a century this declaration has been the parchment divinity of all public orators from the curbstone dervish at the street corner to our elective monarch in the white house.

Every 4th of July , Americans habitually scream themselve hoarse over its sounding generalities: making the welkin ring with tin horns,giant fire crackers,flag idolatry,brass bands,toy pistols and herd bellowing generally.

Although the great majority of them are mental and physical dwindlings,poverty stricken and propertyless yet how insanely they delight in amusing a sardonic world with their loquacious flambuoyant charlatanery.

’ We are sovereigns and equals’ is their everlasting barmecide chorus. ‘Sovereigns and equals!’

In all lunatic asylums may be found inmates who fancy themselves kings and queens, and lords of the earth. These sorrowful creatures, if only permitted to wear imaginary crowns and issue imaginary commands, are the most docile and harmless of all maniacs.

As for the American people of today: is not their written constitution but a cunningly constructed straight jacket- their moral codes, padded prison cells: their statute laws handcuffs and leg irons- their captains of industry keepers and turnkeys in clever disguise?

How absurd of men to hurrah over their glorious political liberty who have not even been able to retain possession of the substantial products of their own laboriousness. After a century of constitutional progress ten per cent of the population are absolute owners of ninety two per cent of all the property. Now O reader are not these things the outward and visible sign of organic dementia?

[/b]

#11
[b]There are two methods whereby masterful ambitious men may hold any population in a state of ordered subjectivity. The first and by far the most honorable method is through an irresistable and highly trained standing army, ready to deploy anywhere; with mechanical precision at a telegraphic nod in order to lay down the law at the cannons mout and sweep away all dangerous opposition.

The second and cheaper method is first of all to innoculate those intended to be exploited with some poisonous political soporific,superstition, or theoria; somthing that operating insidiously, hypodermically, may render them laborious,meek and tractable. [/b]

[b]Personal liberty is very nearly unknown and any citizen who dares to think in direct opposition to the dogma of the majority does so at the risk of his life, if he thinks too loudly.

Indeed men of initiative and enterprise are now in the regular habit of purchasing immunity from communal molestation by bribing legislatures and officials upon wholesale scale. The state is a blackmail agency.

Enterprises necessitating state permits and large preliminary expenditures of capital cannot be safely undertaken, until elective satraps have first negotiated a percentage of rake off. Neither life nor property is safe from the malignance,revenge or greed of government officials or their confederates.[/b]

I’ll post some more quotes later on. :smiley:

If anybody reads these quotes please tell me what you think about them.

#13

I think that was fun to read.

I’m tempted to respond in as close a proximation of Ragnar’s writing style as possible, as it is often said that any proficient writer can easily mimic anothers.

But I won’t.

To begin wtih, I applaud this writers skill at rhetoric and their ability to say things in an unexpected and novel way.

We must be like nature, hard ,cruel ,relentless.
every mortal theorem,must be deliberately put to the question.

When is nature hard, cruel, and relentless?

What usually happens when you put someone and their ideas to the question in a hard, cruel, and relentless way?

I think he is saying that nature is indifferent or impersonal to man’s wants and desires.

Nature is cruel in that it doesn’t respond to anything that lacks strength to survive for itself.

[b]Despotism, if it is to be overthrown must be fought with its own weapons and the vilest of despotisms are ever founded upon majority votes.[/b]
[b]No man of balanced sense can honestly believe that these problems that face us are to be settled by ballot box stuffing or editorialism.

Settled they must be upon the good old rule,the simple plan, and thereafter settled and resettled again and again; for there is no finality in social adjustments and there should not be. Material strength is the basis of all human greatness and material strength must settle the tyranny of the greatest number; probally with fire and steel. All other theories are chimeras-lies-delusions-make believe and of no account.[/b]

[b]The philosophy of power has slumbered long, but whenever men of sterling worth are found, it must again sweep away the ignoble dollar damned pedlarisms of today and openly as of old,dominate the destiny of any emancipated and all conquering species.[/b]
[b]The chief point is this: that fitness must honestly demonstrate itself not by ignoble theft and theory but by open conflict as per Darwin's law of battle.[/b]
[b]How can citizens be honestly described as free and equal who are not, who never were, " free and equal" in any reasonable sense of the phrase? How can they be even considered Men, whose whole lives are governed by cast iron regulations; whose every movement is circumscribed and restrained by penal threats- even whose secret thoughts are in a constant state of silent repression?[/b]
#16
[b]No doubt our ancestors were somewhat rude in their manners , somewhat deficient in sweetness and culture but in matters of frozen fact they were decidely logical.

They did not speak to public meetings and swagger about liberty,justice, and equality of opportunity or rights of man, when they knew full well that not only their lives but everything they nominally possessed was by leave of their conquerors and proprietors. They accepted their position pro-tem, and when again ready, honestly reentered the doom ring to test anew their fate.

If they could come alive again how those old pirates and freebooters would stare in shame and scorn at the sight of their tenderfoot posterity, walking up in solemn, horny handed, hump backed procession in shoddy rags, before any idol altar called a ballot box dropping in its gilded maw printed invocations for justice,mercy,liberty, " peace in our time O! Lord!- Protection-Cheap Money- More laws! More laws! More laws!

All legal tribunals are based not upon ideal concepts of justice and fair play, but upon effective armed strength. This is a truism.

Robbery under arms,laid the corner of every court house in Christendom and elsewhere. How then can the robbers and the robbed- the eagle and the pigeon- the chicken and the hawk be placed in positions of genuine equilibrium before removable officials, specially paid and appointed to vindicate the law- that is to forcible effect to the dicta of the strongest.

All judges are authorized avengers armed to the teeth and all hangmen are licensed assassins, trained to kill.

These words are not spoken in disparagement. Assassins and avengers! Ha! If that be so… Truly they that seek the lord do suffer hunger but lions seek for prey.[/b]

#17
[b]When an army of occupation settles down upon an enemies territory, it issues certain rules of procedure for the orderly transference of the property and persons of the conquered into the absolute possesion and unlimited control of the conquerors. These rules of procedure may at first take shape as orders issued by military generals; but after a time they develop themselves in statute books,precedents and constitutions.

Indeed all law is now and ever has been the mandate of successful belligerents or rather the mandate of the few masterful personalities that ever inspire them.

Equality before the law is thus a contradiction in terms for law itself is an incarnation of inequality. It is true only in the subjective sense that all who obey the law are equally the servants of those who make it or caused it to be made.

Drum head court martials are really law courts in embryo. Congresses and parliaments are merely committees of rapacious tax gatherers.

Legislators may describe themselves as representatives of the people but that is only a cunning masquerade. Their chief vocation is to strengthen the law, uphold the constituion, vote the annual appropiations and devise ways and means of exploiting the nation or of permitting it to be systematically looted by their accomplices, or their masters.

The principles that govern a hold up are the self same principles that govern government. No government on earth rests on the consent of the governed.

It is reasonable therefore for a confederation of masterful bandits to place themselves in positions of absolute equality, before their intended victims. The idea is absurd on the face of it. Brigandage necessitates inequality: and every government on earth is organized and enthroned brigandage.

" Have we not shown that government is essentially immoral?"

  • Herbert Spencer.

[/b]

#18
[b]Equality before the law is just a meaningless catch word somthing like that famous jesuitism- ' Liberty regulated by Law.'[/b]
[b]Hard continuous, methodical labor, destroys courage, saps vitality, and demoralizes character. It tames and subdues men; just as it tames and subdues the wild steer or the young colt.

Men who labor hard and continously have no power to think. It requires all their vital force to keep their muscles in trim.

Indeed the civilized city working man and working woman are the lowest and worst type of animal ever evolved from dust and slime and oxygen.

They actually worship work: and bow down before law as an ox team crouches and strains under the lash.

Look upon their shrunken cheeks,their thin lips, their narrow retreating irresolute jaws,their decayed teeth,sharp puny noses,small watery eyes, yellow bloodless complexions,bent shoulders, dry hair tending to baldness,struggling thin beard: the women with pinched features,waspish fragile waists,want of bust development,consumptive,nuerotic,artificially barren,emaciated,hungry,dwarfed,hysterical.

The minds of average workmen and workwomen, are either total vacuums or stuffed to the brim with every conceivable species of lies,iniquity,superstition and sham.

Behold!- upon their brow is stamped ( with red hot cattle brands) the word ’ DAMNED.’

Eternally tortured are they in a patent purgatory invented by politicians.

For them there is no escape- No! Not even through the fields of blood.

Poor trembling wretches! - washing their own hands in their own sweat!- nay, in their own hearts blood!

Born thralls are they or born madmen!

Their days are without hope, and their years are consumed for- naught.

When their masters speak unto them, there is trembling in all their joints.

They waste their lives pursuing shadows; and for hire,build their own tombs. Their minds are below freezing point,nay! below zero!

Crippled souls are they.

They knead their own flesh into daily bread, and transmute their contrite hearts into basins of gruel.

They look unto idols for deliverance, aye and grind their dry bones into baskets of coal.

At thoughts of battle they blench with terror:- at sight of naked bayonets, they run like whipped hounds. [/b]

[b]When the Roman empire was tottering to its fall; the worship of the state was an established cult: just as it is today. Better to adore blocks of wood or stone, than bow our hearts,our heads, and our knees, before those troops of unclean beasts- Politicians![/b]

[b]Young men are mentally mutilated , systematically "educated" by schools,press, and literature,upon fundamental hallucinations,pyrotechnic shams, and glittering illusions- illusions that are the perennial source of fruitless servile uprisings,social heart burnings,internecine unpleasantnesses and sundry other secondary symptoms of social cancer.

Our government educational systems are absolutely under the direct control of politicians. These priests of the state select and train the teachers,vote the salaries, and dictate what truths and lies the textbooks shall contain.

Indeed our national schools are managed upon the same jesuit plan,whereby monks and prelates of old successfully worked the universal church.

" Come right in here and we’ll improve your minds free of costs," suavely saith the high priests of this new idolatry- this devouring dragon- this impersonal state.[/b]

[b]So the pure hearted rosy cheeked little ones enter unsuspectingly.

Gradually as they are " brought under the influence" the grey brain pulp is forced out of plastic young skulls, and lies, nice pretty poetic lies( mixed with unavoidable facts and perverted truths.) skillfully injected.

Did you ever see medical students extract the brain of a frog and then fill up the vacuum with pith?

The frog does not die, it lives, hops about quite lively, and seems to possess its former intelligence and vitality, but it is all illusion. What experimental vivisectionists do to frogs, state priests do to the children of men.

Bit by bit, with dates and lists and emasculated histories; the iniquitous brain wrecking deviltry proceeds.

When completed , young men and women are turned out with addled brains, into a warring world, incapables, semi imbeciles. unable to defend or assert themselves- footballs of fate ready to serve anyone.

Instead of being urged to think and act for themselves, they are taught, like well drilled slaves to believe and obey. They are trained to glorify and worship idols, with strident shouts and modulated canticles- not honest idols of wood and stone, but idols of sheepskin, bound pamphlets, variegated rags and the falsified renown of dead scoundrels, i.e. Statesmen.[/b]
