Liberty is Moral

Liberty is Moral

Just a quick announcement here.

We will now be submitting everything from Morality101.net to Propeller.com and have formed a new Propeller Group called Liberty is Moral, in which our friends from Morality101, Digg, Facebook and Twitter can participate and submit their own favorites and articles as well.

Digg.com was our favorite social website for quite a long time, but slid way downhill as a result of eliminating shouts and sharing, shunting those off to Facebook and Twitter.  In our view The workarounds were quite useless, just wasting too much of our time with duplications.  So we’ve moved to Propeller as our “social” site for most future submissions.

This group uses admin approval for membership.  We’ll plan to keep the spammers, personal attackers, and the adamant ObamaBots, No-Birthers and Collectivists out of the loop, but perhaps there will be a few who can engage in open-minded and productive discourse with our basically conservative / libertarian group.

We hope for a forum with real drive for both discussion of, and action toward, the virtues of liberty, capitalism, the free market, and progress toward true freedom.

If the shoe fits, wear it, come join us!

Thanks from Tasine and Striker101

I disagree that my actions were spam.  I was referring to my own website, to specific articles I had written which were most relevant to the numerous flood of healthcare “diatribe” spamming Digg these days.  As to “spam”, my website does not even carry advertising as Digg does, which is truly spam, although I certainly understand the financial needs to do so.
I know Digg is liberal/collectivist, and I am hardly alone in seeing and reporting how is destroying our country with both force and bankruptcy, and while you may opine my writings as diabribe, they are most certainly not that.  There was no call for you do to resort to such low-life terminology.

In well over a year, I never personally abuse anyone, nor swear, and I normally will not become involved in the many long personal truly diatribal and useless flaming comments which run way off subject.
The person who “reported” me posted that he/she would do so, and it was that digger who was irrelevant and in no way responding to what I had written.

That said, I did re-read your community guidelines and will try to be somewhat more restrained in my activities.  I hope you will restore my good standing, but it’s your show.

Exact same post, including poster’s website, on another article. Buried and reported as spam.

Now here is my post(s) which yes I posted to several articles about “healthcare”, to several articles as they appeared in “Upcoming”.  Most had slight differences.
People, battling with the trivial details will result only in modified Force.

Fact:  ANY forced scheme serves only to diminish and destroy Liberty.
Fact:  Every regulation, every tax is theft by Force denying your Mind and your Right to Life.

If you grasp the moral foundation of Liberty it is clear and simple.  Many seem to prefer spending the rest of life arguing on Digg and anywhere else — that is an excercise in futility!

We have reached the crossroad of constitutional crisis — there is no turning back.  It is time to identify our friends of Liberty and our foes of Force.

READ my http://morality101.net/blog/morality/ — plus read header pages /Force/ and /Sacrifice/.  If that makes clear sense to you, for gosh sake register, comment, post and take action!

Then come back here on Digg — American Citizens only — comment and vote simply…  ‘Liberty’ or ‘Force’.  Digg up or digg  down, who cares?  No comment, no count

.

And for the many who won’t bother, here is an exceprt from my Morality webpage, which is the essence of my moral foundation:
  • Your life belongs only to YOU, which means… it does NOT belong to anyone else.
  • Who has the right to your life? Only YOU!
  • Who has the right to control or manipulate your Life? Only YOU!
  • Who determines the level of quality of your Life? Only YOU!
  • Who then is Responsible for your Life?  Hmmm, would that be YOU?
  • Further, you are also responsible for the family which you have chosen, but no others.
  • And in return your family is equally responsible for you.You may Choose to assume responsibility for others whom you value, but…
  • The extent and longevity of responsibility for those others is strictly your Personal Choice.

Nuff said!

Where is Liberty?

Where is Liberty?

Given that every instance of collectivism…

Requires the Force of Government to initiate, regulate and administer; and

Eliiminates all rights of all individuals to determine and act in whatever they perceive as being in their individual best interest, and steals from the citizens whatever monies government, not the individual, deems necessary and appropriate, and

Eliminates the natural benefits of competition and choices always best provided by a truly free market, and

Sacrifices and removes all individual alternatives and incentives toward maximizing one’s life, then

Insist on an answer to this one Question:

How does this enhance or preserve our natural rights to
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?

The above was my reply to a TownHall post in Digg this morning, listing 10 questions to ask those who are pushing for, in this instance, Obamacare.  The questions were great, designed to show any collectivist all the fallacies in this ruse but, as usual, missed the main point.

I have become simply exhausted and exasperated with every debate over so-called health-care or any other collectivist program deteriorating into a debate over

  • whether it’s fascism or socialism or communism or….,  and
  • The pro’s and con’s of each and every item in a 14-pound 1,500-page new proposal which is intended to distract everyone from the real truth, which is that…
  • every word within such “debate” is naught but a different approach to enacting still another, still more, intrusion upon our liberty.
  • This is exactly the same distraction as the “numbers game” of yore, which was ‘don’t address the issue, instead, declare that a challenged number renders the entire point void.

For many moons now, I have been writing about Morality, and more lately expanding to discussion of the Force and Sacrifice, as these are the basis of all governments, which have nothing to “give” except that which they steal from their citizens.  This morality is not about some high-faluting worship of some lord or allah.  It is simply our natural rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

This is clear and concise in our Declaration of Independence, yet so dispised and distorted and shredded within our Constitution.  Over these 230 years, the collectivist / communist set have diligently set out to subvert these basic principles into a pity-pity society in which moral free market capitalism is said to be the villan, and that individual heights are to be subordinated to some nebulous “greater good”, productivity and self-reliance are less important than sloth, and the supreme “moral” value is to sacrifice one’s own life to anyone from anywhere merely because they hold out their hands and say “oh, pity me”.

According to the collectivists, each man, having his own mind and the unique human characteristic of being able to THINK, is now somehow to be denied that treasured characteristic and his mind deferred to any unknown other, who cannot prove and is not required to prove any superiority of Mind over You, the individual.

The brainless immoral collectivist “ethic” has now gained the foothold sought for at least the last century, and has set America on it’s long winding path to economic and moral devastation.  America is leading the path to worldwide self-destruction, to such extent that we must question now whether humanity can survive.

You wonder why life has become poorer and holds little but nonsense and drudgery?  You wonder why “Atlas Shrugged”?  Well, at least we’ve got you wondering — the rest us up to You!

This began with my writing this comment at Digg about Obama’s refusal to disclose his real birth certificate:

The original article posted here on Digg was poorly written, obviously Lily Gordon didn’t grasp the basis for Major Cook’s stance. Therefore the Digg blindfolders went wild and the thread quickly deteriorated into a plethora of racist and homosexual denigration which had nothing to do with Obama’s continuing evasion.

Nothing changed; America still hasn’t seen a real B.C. The courts sidestep the issue time after time on the basis that nobody has “standing”, etc, etc, ………… leaving little but a game for the lawyers to play. The paradox is that nobody, including SCOTUS, can order Kenya to open it’s vault.

The Constitution has failed to protect America on this and on everything which has ensued. As a result, America is being overrun with unconstitutional and immoral collectivism via the “president” who isn’t. Obama and his lackeys will never cooperate by disclosing the real B.C. This is simply a crime against humanity.

Therefore, that which has been forced upon the American people can be set aside from the abyss of the progressing economic collapse which may include government collapse. With the people then finding it necessary to rethink everything, finally reinstate the morality of liberty, and restart with a clean sheet of paper, perhaps humanity can survive and be all it could be.

This does not mean I am giving up on the push for the real BC, but this mountain may be impossible to climb, and the death of America is then inevitable.

There can be only one reason that Obama & Co. has not, and will never, reveal Obama’s true and real birth certificate.  That only possible reason is that whatever and wherever it exists would serve only to prove that he is not a “natural born citizen”. To make this available to the citizens would result in Obama’s immediate removal from office, open him to charges of malfeasance and treason, and render his every action as president null and void.  This will most certainly be called a Constitutional crisis, but less harmful than what this fraudulent communist has already done toward the destruction of America.

If we “birthers” were wrong about this, it would have been easy to prove us wrong by simply laying that real piece of paper out where the citizens could see it.  All the time which has passed serves as incontrovertible fact that Obama is not a “natural born citizen”, which renders his cohorts as partners in crime.

The only way out of this dilemma might be if some court actually orders Obama to produce his true BC, which will eventually be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, which will then finally hear this matter, but SCOTUS seems most unlikely to uphold such an order due to some reason of “standing” or else-wise.  Once again the people will realize that our Founders, who did their utmost to write a solid Constitution, left too many gaps which have come to be exploited over these 230 years of “legal” nitpicking.

Now, after these many moons of avoidance, if any such BC were to magically appear, it would be subject to great distrust, the reasonable expectation being that Obama & Co managed to bribe a and hire a very few persons to create a forged BC along with related indexes and such.  This would trigger the need for placing such BC under the microscope of scrutiny, and eventually the real truth would become the subject of infinitely more debate.  That would be a no-win never-win situation for our entire nation.

My expectation is that our divided nation will eventually find itself in revolution pitting the “Obamabots” against the “Wingers”.  Nothing will be resolved, but many gallons of blood will be shed.in a horrible exercise of futility.  History must then conclude that all of this could have been avoided by Obama simply disclosing the truth, thus Obama will be deemed responsible for such disastrous events regardless of the outcome.  Most assuredly some historians, those more interested in “Change” than in Truth, will attempt to reach other conclusions.

While I could continue this for many pages, I choose to close this here, and return with one or more articles on where we go from here.  Hopefully those will be published very soon.

Striker101This website is the apparent beginning of webwork by wjappe, a m101 member and good friend at Digg.  Give him all the support he deserves.  I have been hoping he will also start writing here on m101!

Withdraw SupportThis post is primarily meant for our Users here on morality101, and for Friends from Digg, Mixx, Twitter and RTR.  There have been some problems with WordPress, both with new version 2.8 and with add-ons which don’t work as needed.

For the past week huge hours were wasted trying to get our Users added to my Thunderbird eMail, for which an export add-on didn’t work as needed, plus Thunderbird matchup for CSV proved to be perhaps impossible.  Then I tried another addon which was supposed to send directly from within WordPress, but did not go to the selected users at all.  Some configuration problem which is beyond my knowledge of php.

What that email was to have said is that I need your comment-input for our key Morality page.  So please go read that page and help the cause, that will be greatly appreciated.

Yesterday I took a new domain called No-Ruler to use the CMS application Joomla, about which I as yet know almost nothing.  Joomla is installed now and looks nice, but all the configuration is ahead.  I had mentioned several times that we were going to set out to replace Digg.com with a similar “social” website where non-collectivist Members can interact and share and post and study and pontificate about the ramifications of this U.S. Government having run out of control, the resulting economic collapse and how we might bring us out of the abyss with a much more moral system where the natural rights of the individual and Personal Choice cannot be infringed upon.

“No-Ruler” is the true and pure original Greek definition of Anarchy, despite that that definition seems overwhelmed by collectivist force-followers moves to redefine anarchy as chaotic and horrible indeed.  Check several online dictionaries and you’ll see all the corruption and definitions of opinion rather than the original moral fact.  Actually No-Ruler is merely an extension of the necessity to exclude force-by-government from our lives, which rests again upon the moral principles of individual freedom…

Anyway, this is our request for Friends to jump onto the bandwagon, help in any way you can, make comments and posts, and bring in your own friends to aid the cause.

Let’s move out of this mess and regain our minds, our morals and insist upon the natural freedom into which are are born.

Thank you all so much!
Dean Striker

Striker101I have wasted most of this past 13 months on Digg.com, in futile jousting with immoral collectivists who do not and will not understand the morality of the personal right to life of each individual on this planet, who seek to use the Force of government to negate our right to property, and don’t give one rip about the objective of happiness.  Our right to property is now diverted from sustaining our life and enhancing our happiness, and is now instead being ripped from our hands (stolen) toward furthering the immoral goals of collectivism via Force.

Much time was simply wasted, trying to avoid reading trivia completely irrelevant to the ongoing economic collapse, and even more trivia wading thru irrelevant comments often nothing more than ignorant abusive blurbs consisting of nothing more than FU, FTW.  While we still hang onto the thread of freedom of speech, having to deal with such ignorance wastes everyone’s time and energy for naught.

During this period we have been clobbered by the burst housing bubble, bailouts serving only to increase the national debt, to the election of a non-citizen communist who now purports to be the president of this new USSA, to an infinitely broad “stimulus bill” which we have now seen serving only to increase the already impossible mountain of national debt.  This cannot be funded because the Federal Reserve cannot find buyers for the T-bills and T-bonds, thus Government cannot pay it’s bills nor even fund the bailouts and stimulus.  This is a GOOD thing, although we doubt the liberals and socialists and collectivists will not understand this just yet!

So what has this to do with Digg?  Well, just yesterday Digg ended it’s Shout feature, which was the way we could pass good articles to our friends.  Digg now suggests Facebook and Twitter be used to compensate.  Now I don’t know that you feel this way, but having to play KissyFace and Tweeting is not my idea of useful productive time on the internet, so you’ll not find me there.  If someone knows an equally active social website devoted to active and serious discussion of philosophical political issues and ideas, PLEASE comment and let me know.

But worse with Digg is it’s now blatant attempts to promote bleeding heart crap and to conceal or even delete anything relevant to true Liberty and the current actions of Government seeking to destroy that last vestage of Freedom. For that reason alone, I am done with Digg.com.  I may submit more (of Morality101) articles to Digg, but will not be otherwise participating.  I see no compelling reason that Digg will survive these fatal mistakes.  Leave that to the collectivists to have a mutual admiration society and continue to scheme how to gain more powers to Force.

I hope to convert this blogger into THE major forum for the serious ongoing discussion mentioned.  I wlll need your help to accomplish this, there is too much for me to learn about doing this and so I need the collaboration of others.  I barely know how to “Submit” an article here via WordPress, much less to set up the tools for good interaction between us.

So, requested action(s)

  • My email address is available only  to my Friends who know me as Striker101 on Digg.  If you are one of those, please either use your Digg handle or else email me so I know who you are.  You will be authorized as Authors and thus allowed to Post and to Submit.
  • To others, you will find my eaddy at the root website of http://morality101.net.
  • ONLY to those who understand the foundations of Objectivist or Libertarian philosophy, REGISTER here at  Morality101 so that you can participate, and then DO participate.
  • We are not here to argue with collectivists, who are wholly without virtue.  We are here to expand upon the likes of Ayn Rand and Ludwig von Mises.  We are here to destroy collectivism before it destroys Capitalism, the free market and Liberty.

Leave your comments HERE, don’t even bother with Digg anymore.

Groups represent human fellowship and are therefore nearly always morally superior to individuals. Groups that exist for purposes that advance the common good are morally justified in using the power of the group to circumvent the power of mere individuals. This includes confiscating the assets of wealthy individuals …

The laws of my perceptual universe are, to me, as obvious and irrepressible as the laws of physics.  I have come to embrace them and in so doing have enjoyed some modicum of personal success.  The laws of the liberal universe are no doubt as obvious to liberals, but I would argue that they are not irrepressible because…

Pretty good comparison of the individual as far superior to the collective. Given time to pull his thinking together, he’ll reach a rational summit. Well worth the read.

It is said by many that America is a free country and many come here because of the perception that it is a free country. However, by any measure, it is anything but a free country because without individual freedom, there is no freedom and individual freedom has been trashed, as the first 10 Amendments… have been, or will be repealed…

Striker101Rather distressing to note that this article comes not from the USA, but from Canada! At least author Ron Ewart can see thru the smoke. Really, it won’t take you long to read it and realize how we’re being struck down, “one by one”.
