spacer Had Enough Yet? Then Fight Back Smarter

Productive people everywhere understand that their lives are being wrung of every drop of value, but it is hard to put your finger on why and how. Or more importantly, what to do about it. Yet, even though there are so few of us, we still hold all the cards. You just have to know how to play them.

We've seen elections come and go, and yet things seem to always get worse and worse no matter who gets elected. And no matter how much you talk yourself blue in the face, or wear your fingers to the bone online, too few people seem to "get it". A lot of what you hear in the media, even from your favorite pundits, still seems to miss the mark somehow.

How can this be? You may be one of the unlucky ones who have had everything you've ever work for destroyed. And yet there are many people around you who don't seem to notice anything is wrong at all. We keep hoping those people will eventually wake up, but they never do. Not even the intrusive policies of the TSA seem to make much of an impact on most people. As horrifying and unpleasant as this may be to you, most people seem to just simply accept the accelerating encroachment of their liberties. While you get madder and madder, and more and more exhausted.

There is a simple reason why so few people seem to care, and yet this simple reason eludes people like us, who thrive on creating value in the world. We're so busy working to improve things, we just can't see the world through their eyes.

The reason is that to all those people, you are the enemy. It doesn't matter whether you've ever threatened anyone, the simple fact that you think for yourself, and are bold enough to believe that you have rights and value as an individual, is downright terrifying to most people. And those people will take any amount of government abuse necessary, as long as bad people like you are rounded up in the process.

This is why your children are indoctrinated against your values in school, to breed more numbed populace who see you as the enemy. This is why working hard and playing by the rules brought us to the brink of ruin, because, as we are only now becoming aware, the game was rigged all along. This is why you have to swallow every bit of your inner self at work. Or, if you own and run your own business, this is why it gets harder and harder each year to stay afloat. This is why no one but you and your close circle seems to really be bothered about any of this insanity in any meaningful way. This is why not even those pundits and politicians "on our side" ever really seem willing to "go there". They only dribble out enough pap to keep us tuning in, or voting for them.

We would like to think that people are waking up. Some are, no doubt. But most people don't want to wake up, because the dream is nicer. And turning to government to take what they need from you is a lot easier, isn't it? If you are really honest with yourself, and evaluate those around you, you will probably find, unless you are extraordinarily fortunate, that there are just too few of us left.

We're facing a war on two fronts. On the one hand, we're faced with an enormous and growing entitlement population drawn from all walks of life, including those who adminster and protect that entitlement class, which is another whole entitlement class of its own. On the other hand, we're faced with the powerful elites who control the media, banking and government. Ultimately, elections don't matter because there are just too many of the one, and the other are too powerful. The suit monkeys on Wall Street, and their international banking partners, are able to whip up the masses into any frenzy they wish at the snap of their fingers. And to prevent us from making any measurable impact at all.

The necessary end result? A total economic collapse, of course. But you already knew that.

Take heart, though, because that collapse will finally break our enemy's hold on us. Read this book and find out how to win the war on the other side of the collapse. And what to do to improve your life, in meaningful ways, until that day arrives.

More practical and modern than Atlas Shrugged, this book fills in the gaps that popular political pundits won't touch.

Buy it now or look inside. Or download and read the entire "Chapter 2, Who Should Read This Book", along with the errata notes for that chapter.

As you can see, this book is about a different kind of survival skill, one that works today as well as being essential to pulling us out of a collapse later. But you've got to learn to hide among the monkeys, the right way, and protect yourself from them, until we get there. Or else the monkeys will single-out and destroy you now, before you ever get a chance to defeat them later.

And this is what makes them fear you.

Because they know your time will come.
Can't Afford the Book? I Can Help

Are you one of the unfortunate millions who have been targeted, directly or indirectly, for destruction by this system? Think the material in this book can help you get back on your feet, but you can't afford it because of all that has been stolen from you?

In that case, if you are willing to read it, learn from it, use that material to make yourself and your family stronger, and then help others get stronger for the fight ahead, then write me and we'll send one to you at no charge, not even postage, those strings attached.

Later, if after you get back on your feet, you can pay for it then, that's great. Most important, however, is to not let your current situation get in the way of improving yourself right now.

spacer Constitutional Quizzery

Despite a continual degradation of liberty in these united States, the patriot blogosphere continues to be energized with sentiments such as "keep your hands off my Constitution", "let's restore the Constitution", "if you don't like my Constitution then you should get the hell out", or "I can't wait to kill all the people who don't like my Constitution". Or variations of this same theme....

spacer Why I Don't Fear Islam

The title of this article is inflammatory all by itself, isn't it? And that's the point. We, even, or especially, in the LibertySphere have been conditioned to think that Islam is the greatest threat to humanity. And, like fans at the big game, we think no further than the artificial conflict which plays out before our eyes every day. The recent rash of spam emails with funny little cartoons about the killing of Osama are but one aspect of this Big Game...

spacer When to Shoot the Colonels (article)

Think the military will put down tyranny in this country? It's time to get rid of that dangerous fantasy before it gets you killed. The sobering fact is that there is no credible path in our military establishment for disobedience of, or even resistance to, tyrannical orders.

spacer Oopsie, Tom was w-w-w-wrong (article)

One thing that distinguishes each of us from the monkey is the willingness to admit when we're wrong. I've been wrong about something for a while, and it's been bubbling around in my head as one of those subconscious things. I hate to think that I've participated in leading anyone astray, and need to set things right.

spacer The Pygmy Goat Pallet House

Our first major pallet project, this livestock house is great for small animals such as Pygmy goats, rabbits, and adult chickens. Other than a half-pound or so of cheap screws, all the materials were picked up for free as scrap.

By the time you get this finished, you probably shouldn't look too closely at the construction quality in your home, particularly if you live in a cookie-cutter subdivision. Otherwise, you might want to build your next home yourself. Out of pallets.

Which is exactly the point. You may have to one day, when we're all poor. Practice now, while you can.

Read more, and stay tuned for future pallet projects suitable for monkey starving.
spacer Why Do We Worship the Constitution?

In early 2010 I read Boston T. Party's book Hologram of Liberty for the first time, and I was shocked. Until then, I was as much of a die-hard Constitutionalist as is possible for someone to be. Not any more.

This book is a well-researched, scholarly dissection of the frauds surrounding the convention, the framing and the ratification of the Constitution for the United States of America. Any thinking person who reads this book should walk away angry at the hoax that has been perpetrated on the people of this country. So why hasn't this happened in droves? Two reasons.

spacer A Radiological Nightmare

Think you know about radiological dirty bombs? You know, the usual: easily-detected, a suicide mission for the operator, etc. All of these are comforting things that we are told to believe (usually by some perky blonde after talking about what star is in jail for what). Think again. I've sat on the idea in this article for over two years now since stumbling across hints of it while researching Starving the Monkeys. Recently I've come across confirmations from multiple sources that, yes, the idea is relatively widespread. It is a well-kept secret, but only from you. Rest uneasy, the bad guys already know about this idea ...

spacer Tom's Speech at the Greensboro, NC, Open Carry Rally on 14 Aug 2010

The organizers of the NC Open Carry Rally invited me to speak as a contrary voice to the unrestrained optimism that usually defines such events, thus preventing the discussion of uncomfortable solutions that might actually help. Unfortunately, the agenda ran a little long, so I was only able to fit in about three minutes of what I had planned. You can read the entire text of my talk at Liberty News Radio.

Enjoy this short video. And yes, while speaking, I said "desert island". Twice. At least I didn't say "dessert island". Mmmmm. Delicious.
spacer Palletry for Improved Quality of Life

For those of you who have read Starving the Monkeys, you know that as we near a collapse of civilization, people will start using (and using up) materials and finished goods in unexpected and novel ways. The lowly material-handling pallet falls into this category. Reading through the homestead and preparedness literature, one often finds references to the use of pallets to construct useful things. For monkey starvers in particular, building things out of pallets is a great way to deny forage to suit-monkeys who demand their slice of our consumption pie.

We, like many others, enjoy using pallets for building material for several reasons. read more ...

SoftBaugh Launches Self-Study Courses

Having read Starving the Monkeys, we all know the value of the coming collapse. But, someone needs to know how to get those computerized tractors, factories and power plants running again. Or to make armed RPVs or encryption devices, but this time for the good guys ...

That someone might as well be you, or your child. SoftBaugh, our sister company, has launched a series of self-study engineering courses which don't require experience in the field to learn or to teach. Apolitical in nature, these courses are great for homeschoolers, too. The first course in this series, Software Development I: with Python, is now available.

Update, 24 Feb 2012: CPX Foxtrot is now active!

Now that the action date and time has passed, CPX Foxtrot is now active. This means that the public communication phase has begun. As a result, we are now hosting the full text on our site here. A little more readable form is given as HTML here.

Like it, hate it, or fear it, I think that CPX Foxtrot is an overwhelming success in that OpFor was unable, or unwilling, to my knowledge, to disrupt or prematurely trigger public release. Hmmm. That sounds a little funny, in retrospect.

Anyway, this time around, FreeFor forced OpFor to keep their dogs on a leash for a change, and that is a good start ...

Now please help generate public interest in CPX Foxtrot. I've started using the twitter hashtag #cpxfoxtrot, which is probably as good as any.
