Publisher’s Note: Continuing to upgrade the tools in the armory and you should attend to yours, the short interregnum provided by the Mango Emperor may come to an abrupt end if the Demwit Socialists take over from the flabby fascist dimwits in the Grand Old Politburo.
Please take note that when the GOP held both houses of ill repute and the Offal Office in 2000-2006, they managed to ramp up spending, increase debt and stumble into money laundering operations planet-wide for the military-industrial complex. Now with the political brothels under the thrall of the GOP, they have done nothing for liberty.
No surprises.
The voting booth should reconfigure the ballot lever to a dildo and require the Helots to use their mouths to make the selection of their next master, it also provides a keen preview of things to come for the voter.
If you aren’t attending to training and acquiring the right tools for the coming Endarkenment, you are doing your children a disservice.
Turn off all cable and satellite, cancel the newspaper subscriptions and don’t ever watch a newscast again.
Why do you think they call it programming?
Why are any of you surprised when your urchins visit over the summer or holidays on return from whatever phase of programming they’re undergoing at university and they talk like they are emissaries from Mao’s Cultural Revolution?
You have only yourself to blame.

The New Criterion recently published this:
To return to the question posed at the beginning: is socialism a hate crime? The record speaks for itself: socialism is a hate crime, a doctrine of tyranny, mass murder, and human suffering on a vast scale. What should be done about it is a different matter. The important thing is to identify the crime.
Indeed, socialism and every other government creed is a hate crime to humanity. The milder forms of government extremism (redundant?) like the Constitutional and limited government fetishists in the end are guilty of the same cargo cult adoration.
This is why there is a small but prescient meme parade on social media of throwing communists out of helicopters as an homage to Pinochet’s notion that communists are not only irredeemable as a pestilence in civil society but the danger out of the philosophical starting blocks of the communist mindset poses an existential threat to any human ecology. No matter where the government supremacist creed has landed it has grown like a poisonous kudzu to absorb and threaten every facet of civilization at the altar of political preference selection.
I have said it before and it deserves another mention, politicians are violence brokers and nothing more and the western variety of the disease through vote counting and democratic deliberation yields the slow roll to the cannibals’ pot for every human trapped in the political boundaries of the latest franchise
You can’t eradicate cannibalism by eating the cannibals; there is no better analog for what voting is.
This is an especially disturbing time of year as I drive around here in Arizona and see the zookeeper candidate signs littering the landscape and their mewling pleas clogging up the airwaves (thank goodness for audio-books). creatures with the intellectual wherewithal of real estate agents (possibly the most intellectually stunted “professional” group next to teachers [K-PhD], coproaches and urinalists).
I have written exhaustively on voting in the past (just search voting on zerogov) so I won’t belabor the point here.
Yes, socialism is a hate crime but EVERY political gambit is a hate crime against humanity. All politics is based on using officially flagged threats and instantiated violence to achieve its ends. From democracy to republics to socialism to communism and everything fetid idea in between, the all slow roll or quickly accelerate to putting humans on huge plantations subject to eventual cajoling, fining, kidnapping maiming and death for any unfortunates who either resist out of ignorance or moral agency.
…and the state has done an extraordinary job of convincing most free range humans on Earth that they either comply or suffer the consequences of the whim of the psychopaths and their active agents in society.
Your neighbor hates your guts if you object to organizing society using violence.
In the end, your neighbor and maybe even friends and family will rather see you dead than not integrated against your will into a system that steals you blind, regulates the fuck out of every human transaction you indulge in the above-ground economy and will ultimately give your badged killers a pass than seek justice.
Government is the most lethal disease vector in humanity’s history and has managed to exterminate hundreds of millions of humans.
That is a great statement of The Problem. Allow me to offer one possible solution:

GovernMENT.is NOT the only form of governANCE!
When central governments collapse (and they ALL do collapse!), what is the nature of the agreements that individuals will make to provide for the security of themselves and their family?
“Men have passed on the knowledge of how to mix cement, lay brick, splice a line, navigate a ship, make steel, and dozens of other crafts, yet in politics, statecraft, and social relationships we continue to repeat old mistakes.”
~ Louis L’Amour
L’Amour identified the problem but offered no solution. I offer this article. YOU get to be the judge! If you agree, you can start today by using it in your daily life.
Dennis, that’s the problem, their is no ” ONE” answer, or solution.
I read many many sites like Bills, all are great at pointing out the obvious, but short on the one shining solution.
For my family the solution always has been ours, to ponder, ours to make work. My children are relatively young, they don’t have money for supplies, weapons” ” which my wife calls toys” .
They see what we see, they get it, but without dads money to stockpile, ” stuff” they’re just trying to live the dream!.
Many of us were training for this next shit show, back in the 80s, until recently, many recognized the degradation, the corruption even back then, and called it what it was.
The truth, ” there are many truths” is most folks don’t really get it until their in their late 30’s to their retirement age. When they finally have the time to research the Big Lie, and come to the same conclusion,,,, that we’ve been duped by those in power.
My gold, my silver, my bullets, my food, my BOL’s will likely never be used by me, but rather by those I love, and care about. My family, my children their children.
That’s the sacrifice that us parents should be willing to make, for each of our families legacys.
Lastly I don’t have a clue which flavor of the month will be the Final straw, which broke the camels back. I do know that our plan, although simple has been,,,,learn and prepare for a multitude of potential events.
Have a good one.
Dirk
Having no “ONE” answer or shining solution is not a problem. It is an opportunity! An individual can tailor answers from may offered solutions instead of being forced into a “one-size-for-all” situation, such as offered by governMENT advocates.
Was there anything in the solution that I offered that you found to be of value?
Best regards,
Dennis, was not my intent to bust your chops. Admittedly I’ve become pretty jaded, regarding response.
As I think you point out,,,,having ” One”s olution does leave alot on the table to work with. Your contributions is noted,
Everyday, Every Minute presents an opportunity, to grow, to learn.
Have a great day.

Hi Bill,
I wrote this piece a few years ago. A bit rough around the edges but these are still my thoughts on the subject of voting. I wouldn’t step into a voting booth if someone was holding a gun to my head. It’s a total sham and an act of violence.
Why I Don’t Vote
by David Jones
I have not voted in a national election since 1996 and will never vote again. It’s not that I don’t care or that I’m lazy. It’s just that I’ve come to the conclusion that voting doesn’t matter. More importantly, voting is antithetical to the values I hold dear. Voting is often held to be “a sacred duty” or “a right” or even a “moral responsibility”. Those in power love to promote elections and voters rights because they know that voting gives legitimacy to what they do once elected. Why else would billions of dollars be devoted to election politics? Politicians desperately plea with citizens to “get out and vote” because they know that elections provide cover for them. “Make your voice heard” is a constant refrain as if going to the polling booth once every two or four years and secretly casting a ballot will miraculously change the course of human history.
In the end the biggest reason I don’t vote, the only one that truly matters is that inevitably my vote is an act of aggression against others. The Declaration of Independence, one of the foundational documents that governs this country states correctly that “…all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. The key to that phrase is that our rights are unalienable which means non-transferable. I can vote to give away my freedoms but I cannot vote to take away yours. If our rights are unalienable (non transferable) then they cannot be usurped by a voter or group of voters and yet that is the crux of all voting. All voting is about taking something from someone and giving it to another or appointing someone lord and master over others against their will.
Voting is an act of violence because each voter assumes the right to appoint political and legal guardians over other human beings. No individual voter or even a majority of voters has such a right morally. If they claim to possess such a right, please have them clearly explain where that right comes from and how it squares with the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence “that all men are created equal” and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable “Rights” of “Life, Liberty,” and Property. When someone slips into a voting booth and pulls the lever they are no different than the highwayman who pulls a pistol out of his pocket and robs you in broad daylight.
Some people say that voting is a key to democracy and necessary to preserve our rights. This is hogwash. History has shown repeatedly that voting does not preserve rights and in fact is used as a tool to take them away. There are countless examples of so called democracy, even representative democracy such as that practiced in America, electing tyrants. It should be noted that Hitler rose to office in a thoroughly democratic process. Moreover, if voting is required to preserve our rights then they aren’t unalienable are they? Our rights become conditional, something bestowed by the state. This is a very dangerous proposition, to allow the state the ability to assign rights because what it can give it can surely take away. And it routinely does.
Voting is an act of consent. I do not choose to offer my consent. When you vote you agree to abide by the rules of the game and accept the outcome. By voting, the voter endorses the governmental system under which he or she lives and those in control of it. Each voter is saying: It is right and proper for some people, acting in the name of the State, to pass laws and to use violence to compel obedience to those laws if they are not obeyed regardless of the morality of those laws.
I’ve often heard people say – “Well, if you don’t vote you don’t have the right to complain.” Let me see if I understand the argument: If I don’t vote I forfeit my right to free speech. Free speech is not an unalienable right but contingent on me voting. This of course must mean that other rights are conditional and based on whether I vote or not. The logical extension of this argument would suggest that the other protections afforded me in the Bill of Rights are only valid if I vote. If I don’t vote I can’t own a gun. If I don’t vote I am subject to unreasonable search and seizure. If I don’t vote I cannot expect to be secure in my “persons, houses, papers, and effects.” If I don’t vote I cannot decline to testify against myself and due process is not available to me. That’s what these people are saying. It’s a terrifying prospect to suggest that voting is the fulcrum on which all human liberty is balanced.
Voters are never held accountable for their vote. They vote anonymously to elect leaders that reflect their values with no regard for the rights of their fellow citizens. When you think about it, voting is a cowardly act. It allows people to do by way of proxies to others what they cannot or will not do themselves such as stealing or killing or otherwise aggressing. Furthermore, those elected are never held accountable for the debt they accrue on behalf of those they represent and the resulting economic harm. The worst thing that happens is the they are voted out of office with a full lifetime pension when they should in fact be in jail for armed robbery.
Some people would say, “Vote for the person or issue that best reflects your values.” In other words, vote for the lesser of evils. There are a lot of problems with the argument. If we vote for a bad candidate, we are partly responsible for the harm done by that candidate. This is true even if our sole intent was to defeat a worse candidate. One evil does not justify another. It would have been better not to vote at all. Supporting the lesser of two evils tells politicians that it is acceptable for them to do likewise. The “vote for lesser of evils” strategy always results in a downward trend in the quality of candidates. Politicians won’t change if they know we’ll vote for them anyway. Good candidates seldom receive the support they need to become viable. The problem of bad choices is thereby perpetuated, and the nation continues to deteriorate until the day when our choices will be an Adolf Hitler and a Joseph Stalin. The lesser of two evils is still an evil.
“When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental – men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost… All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” – Henry L. Mencken
In the end and after considerable thought I’ve decided to never vote again regardless of candidates or issues on the ballot. People will ask questions like – “how will we decide who leads us?” or “isn’t the democratic process a key to a civilized society?” Okay, in the interest of full disclosure I’m a voluntaryist or anarchist if you like. I am not a fan of government. The greatest con in recent human history is the “social contract” put forth by the likes of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This theory posits that individuals either explicitly or implicitly surrender some of their freedoms to rulers in exchange for security. Here’s the problem – there really is no contract and there is no practical way of withdrawing consent. What social contract theory did was replace the “divine right of kings” with the “divine right of gangs”. The majority has absolute control over the minority using a faux legal entity called government. “Government is not reason. It is not eloquence,” George Washington reportedly said. “Government is force; like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”
The question of who will govern me is moot because I don’t care to be governed, at least by the present rules. More than anything, I don’t want any votes I cast to be used to exact violence against others. I don’t want to be responsible for the debt that politicians accrue which must be paid by future generations including my children and grandchildren. And I don’t want to enable politicians to wage endless wars which inevitably murder innocent non-combatants. As far as deciding who will lead us, that’s none of my business. If someone chooses to give up their sovereignty and be lead then fine. Just don’t ask me to participate in the charade.
“Although I admit that the outcome in a stateless society will be bad, because not only are people not angels, but many of them are irredeemably vicious in the extreme, I conjecture that the outcome in a society under a state will be worse, indeed much worse, because, first, the most vicious people in society will tend to gain control of the state and, second, by virtue of this control over the state’s powerful engines of death and destruction, they will wreak vastly more harm than they ever could have caused outside the state. It is unfortunate that some individuals commit crimes, but it is stunningly worse when such criminally inclined individuals wield state powers… Only states can pose truly massive threats, and sooner or later the horrors with which they menace mankind invariably come to pass…” – Robert Higgs
Bill,
Great article with some nice wordsmithing. My favorite line is:
“This is why there is a small but prescient meme parade on social media of throwing communists out of helicopters as an homage to Pinochet’s notion that communists are not only irredeemable as a pestilence in civil society but the danger out of the philosophical starting blocks of the communist mindset poses an existential threat to any human ecology.”
My questions to you and the collective brain trust here is:
Exactly when is it appropriate to toss a Communist out of a helicopter or in lieu of said helicopter, a fast moving American made pickup truck? Is this an adequate substitute? Inquiring partisans need to know.
Can logging chains around the ankles add the proper emphasis or is this not fair play to allow the element of chance and allow the proper English cushion bounce of the asphalt, to , gravel shoulder to guard rail telemetry?
I would appreciate a response from former military or Leo’s that have direct interaction with the aforementioned factions.
Sincerely,
Eagle
Mr. Eagle: In answer to your question about when would it be appropriate, I would say: NOT NOW. We are still in that frustrated, head-banging, teeth-grinding stage of watching these Marxist traitors and their useful idiots bloviate, demonstrate, kneel, abort, commit sodomy, confiscate our honest earned wealth, and kindle our smoldering wrath. They are well funded by the forces of darkness.
In my postings over the last few years on WRSA, I have maintained it will take a major economic disaster to wake up the Normies and the Sheeple. Look at this pathetic, syphilitic country. Over sixty million babies murdered in their mother’s wombs since 1973. Major political scandals which no one paid any attention to. The Bush-Paulson TARP confiscation of over $800 billion of our money. Nary a peep, other than scattered, ignored outrage. But, take away the Pepsi and Nacho Cheese Doritos from the great unwashed, stop the free debt bucks flowing from the SNAP and EBT cards nationwide, and it is game on. When that will happen is anyone’s guess. Bleib ubrig.
Mr. Dweezil, you Magnificent Wonder Weasel,
As you may of noticed I do appreciate a good rant.
That semi-automatic retort style is one I prefer to use at this point.
I have read your posts on WRSA as well as mtn. forge, Aesop, Matt Bracken and others.
Well said Suhs, well said.. I think I hear an echo in here.
I agree with everything that you outlined but…….. my qualifier is that the countdown has begun for the take down of the USA. Sixty days to the Radical Transformation of America finale.
If you saw a subdued and shaky Obama speaking today whining to the Demo-Rat faithful, stumping for his fellow criminals , then you have witnessed another thin and desperate NWO Psych-warfare ploy.
Serious 1984- Alinsky vintage double-think, inverted reality script.
The Deep State move to Break out the Marxist- Mulato Mullah just as they shut the Right side of American History down. Good move for Them, bad for Us.
This traveling Minstrel show was well designed to take all credit from the Trump successes and put them in his legacy basket.
More importantly is was to rally his clueless Commie Kids and Cat ladies to get out the vote, to vote often and then vote again.
Illegals and felons get the vote for nifty, Government gift cards and pardons.
The silent, grateful dead get to stay buried and on the voting rolls while They victory dance on their graves.
This first Amendment battle is being lost before our eyes.
Second is right behind it guys.
Stop tricking out your boom stick hardware long enough to know for certain it is your cold dead hands that will be picked clean of that lost battle rifle.
So you expect a fair stand up conventional fight, huh?
Silicon Valley Globalist Technocracy is here now.
Alex Jones is basically being nailed on the electronic Cross of The Deep Demonic State.
The Satanist- Pedophile network strikes back after being busted in the thousands by Trump and what is left of the military and police not corrupted to the core.
They are smartly going for the default Head of the Gadsen Snake. Alex Jones, the Pitbull Patriot Voice that helped Awake America.
Take out the high ranking leaders first, the standard warfare strategy.
Read Matt Bracken’s short story online, “What I saw at the Coup”. The Good Guys win but it is Matt’s cautionary tale.to back the bastards back to their holding patterns.
Have you seen him on Info Wars lately? He is rightly sounding the emergency alert alarm and looks worried. And we all should be.
As the Purge rages–Everyone else to the right of Mao Tse Tongue websites, and Facebook, You tube, Twitter, and other media platforms are being booted, demonetized, and demonized.
This site may be far down on the list but it will come down. Not a peep of resistance here and that is very depressing. Forward Observer reports, please.
There really is not enough time and money to set up communication alternatives before the Hammer of the Global Godz comes down.
Gab, Real.video and other alternatives will be aborted before they can walk a Tech Toddler path.of Truth to Absolute Power.
So…………………What can you, I, and that guy over there with the pickup truck with a gun rack and NRA sticker going to do about it?
I’m Open to legal and lawful suggestions.
The Anarchists here don’t vote, They have Zero faith in any form of government, and I really can’t blame them but……..
.Only sitting in your well stocked bunker, counting their pallets of ammo, beans and rice and planning a small cell Patriot counter attack when the Collapse is deep, engineered by the most evil, semi-humans to walk the planet is not going to be enough.
The Endarkenment begins as a Cyber war and it is raging across many levels and WE are losing.
Trump mounts a counter strike via executive orders, orders the incriminating memos unredacted and starts firing everyone connect to the past regimes “Werewolf” operatives in the Deep State Swamp. Otherwise he is toast and we all are the blood jelly on that toast.
As I read the Revelations version, the Armies of Darkness win the first round.
Planetary enslavement begins, you get your Mark of the Beast chip and all must bow to the 40 ft holographic, all powerful AI, Satan God projected in the sky above the cities of the Earth.
“All ye who live here, Abandon all Hope”
No Cadillac Rapture.
Generations of all the livestock people suffer until Jesus and the armored Angels of Grace come back and kick the Devil and his minions off the planet. and into the Phantom Zone.
We have read the Books for centuries and now have seen the future predictive movies. I’m looking hard for the real alternate ending.
Do you have one handy?
I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a cup of Constitutional saving confidence today.
Eagle
Mr. Eagle: Thanks for your reply. I take it to heart and evaluate the truths you have spoken. I do not know where your A/O is. Up here in Winterfell(aka Rawles Land or Kootenai County), thoughtful people are mustering. Lists are being prepared as the local useful idiots of the Forces of Darkness rant and whine in the Letters to the Editor of THE DAILY FISH WRAP. Local shooting ranges do not lack for customers zeroing rifles or taking classes to qualify for the Idaho Enhanced Concealed Carry Permit. In spite of the statist control of the Washington Soviet Republic, there are plenty of real patriots next door in Spokane County who are gearing up for any potential fun and games.
If you believe POTUS will get his ass handed to him in November, then keep sharpening your hatchet and prepping. If you remember the posts on WRSA leading up to the 2016 “election”, at least one individual opined it would be better for all if the Hildabeest won so we could get the real party started. There is some truth to that statement, in that it would force the namby-pamby wet-noodle, Pollyanna Normies to fish or cut bait. Well, maybe if things get turned upside down this November, the same thing will happen. Either way, we are not voting out way out of this. Keep vigilant. Keep prepping. Keep educating your younglings. Bleib ubrig, my brother.
Dweezil, and et al
My bruther from another Muther.!
It is very heartening to know that you are my Redoubt neighbor.
Here in Bonner County- Sandpoint area.
I strangely do sleep more soundly knowing that the current, not so distant gunfire is my neighbors dialing in their rifles for hunting season and for possible minuteman duty.
I do mourn that our Captain BB on this Ship of Non Fools no longer resides here. We need more trainers!
My hope is that when the invasion gets nasty on the Southern border he strategically retreats to his old sniper stand in the stronghold to the North. Your spot is reserved.
Although a recent Panhandle transplant and EX-Patriot ( as in Exit- Soviet Amerika for the last vestiges of real America) I agree that voting Republican across the board is a delaying tactic at best but an important one.
No shame in buying time so even the anarchists need more prep time so vote for any even fake non Marxist. Think of it as an easy-peasy DIY concrete speed bump in the Amerikan Autobahn to slow the Abrams tanks down to 1st gear.
I will be honest here. I and most of the prepper -patriots- awake citizens that I know are not ready for a real fight. OPSEC, I know….
Right now there is Not enough networking, definable leaders, and real field and weapons training.
THEY have cut the lines of our communication system (the internet) and the power is next.
Alone and in the dark is just the way to take out the opposition without much resistance.
This is why the Enemy is probably making their hasty Battle of the Bulge offensive now.
The people like BB and others that are ex military or ex law enforcement probably have the Gun-Fu and small group training to go full auto Mountain Guerilla at a moments notice. They unfortunately are the exception to the rule.
I really cringe at those that want to “Bring it On ” for they may or may not know what they do”.
What little I do know about war is that it is Hell. Not much Glory but more than enough Gory.
And this one is going to be engineered by Hell’s Legions with no quarter given on either side.
For those of us old enough and unfortunate enough to have lived through war or civil strife and have witnessed raw human death by military grade weaponry that is quite sufficient for a lifetime.
I have had the “honor” of being a young “protesting” Citizen confronted with US troops firing rifles and pistols into a crowd of unarmed Americans. from a distance of 75 yds,
The 19 yr, old boy, 10 ft next to me, had his chest explode and exit to the rear. The bullet aimed at me luckily hit the steel sculpture in front of me instead of taking my head off.
50 years later I’m certainly still not ready for a repeat performance.
As you noted the Democide of Gun-vernments has killed hundreds of million of people over the years. Note– beside the brave warriors conscripted or otherwise convinced of the Rightness of the Gov’s cause, the majority of the dead were mostly innocent woman and children.
Stop over the ZG forum topic listed as Unhappy Anniversary and see my responses to the notes about the anniversary of Ruby Ridge.
A very special pivotal event for me and others. The point being is that it is literally in my backyard.
“There for the Grace of God go I with a red laser dot between my eyes.”
Remember, the Globalist Terrorists and their Satanic Dark Armies we will fight intentionally target our women and children.
This is not the jungles of Viet Nam, , the mountains of Afghanistan or the deserts of Iraq.
If we must become “Accidental Guerillas ” remember you put your family and your animals in harms way. *
Note-this is not a cowardly plea for passivity or appeasement of tyrants and their minions.
Although somehow miraculously Randy Weaver and his daughters got a few million dollars from the Feds.
I think they would of gladly given it back for the lives of their wife/mother and son /brother and dog.
This war will be an uncivil war.
As Matt Bracken puts i:”Rwanda and Bosnia times a thousand”
So we should all be “careful what you wish for, you may just get it”.
Beware the Monkey’s Paw”.
Eagle
Dweezil, Et Al,
For those in the N.Idaho area there will be the INWP Prepper fair at the Bonner County Fairgrounds. Sept. 22-23.
Authors Glen Tate of the 10 vol.” 299 Days”series will be signing books.
