Ah am Not a Libuhtarian

It's an awkward and imprecise label (I wish whoever started it had come up with something less dorky, oh well) that has come to be defined by it's enemies, right and left as an insult meaning someone who lacks compassion, intelligence and/or experience. We're heartless, naive retards, racist anti-semitic male chauvinists that want to starve the poor, kill the environment and let mexicans and rag-heads overrun the country and kill us all, after making everyone download porn and stolen "I.P." and turn their kids into gay junkies that hate Jesus and Israel. Also we're anti-American and against World Peace and support giving crazy people machine guns (domestically) but oppose giving crazy people unlimited money and weapons overseas.

Fake libertarians like Beck and Andrew Sullivan are generally easy to spot because they were neo-cons when it counted and will certainly revert as soon as they start passing water through their bloomers after the next fake scare. I'm inclined to label them Incontinent Conservatives and Opportunistic Barebackers except that juvenile name calling is practically the signature and only anti-libertarian argument. "Did you see the schmuck on that camel?"

 Curiously, this works well for me because if someone says or implies they aren't Libertarian I can, and usually do, (since I'm not a masochist), stop paying attention right there. I also identify as a Constitutional Conservative, but since both the Constitution and "conservatism" are virtually dead, that isn't very useful. I remain a Rothbardian, a Rockwellian and a Paultard. "Randian"? No way, although I wish him and (some) of his allies well. So far...

"As RNC reboots, Prince Riebus reaches out to the Ron Paul liberty movement

 This is a pretty amazing headline. After stomping all over the RP movement and doing everything up to and including the destruction of the GOP, now this fucking alien weirdo with the most obviously made up pseudonym in history would like to gain our support to defeat the evil democrat who is just like him in every way (except slightly better tanned). AS IF! How about;

Lucy Van Pelt Promises to let Charlie Brown Kick Ball, "Next Time, For Sure!"

Republicans suck so bad that if Obama doesn't follow through with the gun nonsense and the stupid aggression against Iran, the openly communist of our two communist parties will probably rule for a generation, or at least two months until the wheels come off the economy. The Stupid Party morphs into the Ridiculous Party.

So now, undercover hazbarim Samuel Goldman rises In Defense of Rinsed Prepuce and the "Autopsy" Report, to which I replied;

"Pretty hilarious – these clowns just spent the last year or twenty driving the constitutionalists and their millions of donated dollars out of the party, but they don’t want to alienate their “base”. Can anyone explain why we need two open-border, welfare/warfare, authoritarian busybody parties serving the MIC? Wouldn’t it be easier (and more honest) to quit, go home and get real jobs? Hey, Priepuse, they’re hiring in Williston".

Ron Paul supporters to Prince Riebus - "Suck It Dry!"

When God was Younger

Than now, and more impulsive, he created man. Quickly realizing his mistake, but for whatever reason unwilling to just cancel the project, he tried several times to re-boot, with the same crappy results every time; Intellect was unable to compensate for Animal in the human. He had (possibly unintentionally) created more misery than if he had just left them monkeys, because he had assumed that rationality would lead from dignity to nobility, and hadn't yet thought it would be necessary to allow the bastards to actually kill him in order to get the obvious point. (Which they so didn't.)

So, at that point, he took one of his few successful creatures, the wolf, and tweaked it a bit to produce just about every conceivable size and variation of four legs, a tail and mouth that would appeal to the widest possible range of humans, and in the form of puppies, attach themselves to all but the hardest of hearts. The wolf, being of the pack, didn't mind a short life, as it's spirit flowed through the pack like water and wind, so the dog basks in the few days that his beating heart allows him to show foolish humans how to love.

My comment on the RonPaul.com "con"troversy.

An unfortunate instance of cybersquatting gone wrong. You get to keep the IP address, correct? You can see that this further damages Ron's reputation when "they" are doing everything to obliterate his legacy. This has a strong odor of blackmail, also gone wrong, or why is this issue in the public eye?

After the money bombs, a lot of people became alerted to the monetary awards aspects of the revolution. While scaring the crap out of the PTB, it also encouraged a lot of fleas to hop on the hound (cough-Rand-cough). You're not a flea, are you? The retired Ron Paul you want back is over. The newly freed RP is smart, angry, and going to kick more honkey ass than ever.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

[Update 6:20 pm. Can't check my comment on ronpaul.com; looks like the entire post was taken down. The comments weren't going their way]

 "The website is back!
   Really, I mean - it's back! After approximately 4 years of the GoDaddy parking page. It's a long        story but suffice to say I am having to clear out a lot of cob webbs and teach myself HTML and CSS again. Forgot how fun it is.
Anyway folks, I'll start putting content up as soon as I can. Thanks for visiting!

This is a joke, right? I especially love the copyright and TM. Marvelous! Evidently the legal world is immune to irony.

I think the present domain registration system will be reworked when IP is redone, that is soon, as these anomalies become increasingly problematic. In my opinion, there needs to be a parallel structure for routing small files (text and photo, generally), separate from the band-width hogs such as video and (cumulatively, phones), and separate from all the peripheral crap that attaches itself to every page; adsense ad nausea, etc. I think it should (and to a large extent, is now) controllable at the client level, maybe subscriptions to lists that resolve IP addresses at the client and bypass the surveilled sector entirely (preferably running on distributed multiply redundant RF networks).

The one thing I could do to make this post valuable is to go back and track down the unknown article I read about the coming IP lockdown. It scared me enough to not bookmark it. d'oh!

[Update 6:25 - working my way to IP nirvana, I have determined that the net is poised for two major re-engineerings; 128-bit IP addresses and IPv6, and a major tweek to the BGP, which is the subject of the piece I'm still looking for. The broader topic is router hijacking and how (ex. Syria) sections of the net can and have been blacked out. This article explains how the process can be used down to individual addresses. I'm sorry for doing my research backwards, but a fascinating topic that will make a nice post, I think, if I can find the flushugganer article -  a stem of alt-rt maybe..

The Candyman Kant *

The internet can

What can scare you shitless, confirming all your fears;
Immanentize the eschaton after just a few beers?

What can teach you history, show you why that's wrong,
and sell you back your memories for ninety cents per song?

The internet reveals the onion and it's peels,
increasingly mysterious,
'till you're convinced you're delirious,
nobody takes you serious.

Might as well do the dishes.

What can make you angry, puzzled yet convinced,
suspecting that your brain's been washed, awaiting final rinse.

All the stuff that happens as if by accident,
who can say what someone said he thought he knew it meant.

The internet can.
The internet can 'cause it breaks into chunks and makes the world seem screwed.


* "Despite massive intelligence, Immanuel Kant had never married..."

Yeah, despite.

Feel the Mosquito's Itchy Wrath!

The bionic mosquito discusses Fred Foldvary's theories of voluntary societies, leading me to remark* that the ideal of a hotel's providing good  service in order to increase it's income, if expanded to larger and more complex entities (e.g. city states), falls into distinctly Moldbuggian territory, what I vaguely understand to be "formalism", or again to my imperfect understanding, government by the owners. Authority is strong and unambiguous, and courteously administered when appropriate, as between ladies and gentlemen, based on an expressed and mutually agreed to contract from which either party can withdraw. Obviously this is not a new concept, being a huge part of libertarianism, but it underlines the problem with federalism, and dovetails nicely with my own hypothesis that something really bad was released with the reformation.

This is also a nice for for my own theory concerning the 'latinizing" of the US, not so much the immigration aspect but the gradual movement to an almost feudal division of society into two classes, a tiny elite who enjoy liberty and fraternity, and a huge mass who get not much beyond "equality", and both directly supported by the state. In a word, fascism.  Nothing novel, here, either, but the question presents itself. If there is a natural and unyielding tendency in man to follow great leaders, as I strongly suspect, and if this was the best basis for establishing societies, as I strongly fear, are then the only things stopping our enthusiastic participation strong skepticism of human nature (as revealed in most religions) or simple romanticism, which ought to be avoided for practical reasons.

Formalism would seem to be antidote to romantic beliefs in peace, love, and brotherhood, although I myself am very drawn to the idea of a harmonious natural state and would even briefly enjoy the war of all against all to which the natural state seems to devolve, but I can't help thinking we might as well learn to love big brother. Despair is also a romantic notion, as is, (possibly) Authority. In the meantime, follow Epictetus, or make sure you can always afford a good hotel.

* I like the direction the argument takes, toward real privatization (as opposed to fire sales of resources). Other modest institutions suggest themselves, cruise lines, retirement villages,gated communities. Stuff rich people like. I've always regretted not traveling, but it seems as if the third world is coming to us. "We'll ride this out at the Ritz!"

Unamusing, Off-Topic, Drive-By Comment

on an otherwise great column, on an important subject by Kelly Vlahos at Antiwar.


"All respect to Kelly, but don't be tricked into actually watching the Gauntlet. Clint made several stinkers with his girlfriend at the time, Bugeyes, and one, Josie Wales, was awesome in spite of her presence, but this was beyond excusable - they escape from a house that is completely demolished by small arms fire to the point of collapse because it has a sewer pipe large enough to crawl through that leads and opens into a convenient ravine, he shoots down a chopper with a pistol (Stallone!), and drives a bus through several hundred cops firing automatic weapons but nobody shoots the tires, even accidently.
Do not view, even on a bet, (except for Josie Wales) ANY Sondra Locke film. Fair warning on The Gauntlet; Worst Movie Ever!"

I should restrain my comic book guy alias Jeff Albertson, but she touched a nerve. Locke later sued Eastwood for derailing her career. AS IF... Evidently, she's a Country Singer, now. Imagine a film about a Musical about a song about a career in film and music. Does it never end?

All-time WME is maybe smokey and the bandit II - even dom deluise couldn't save it.
I wonder why those 60's and 70's movie's all suck so bad. They blew the script budget on coke? The writers blew the script budget on coke?
