Happy Memorial Day Weekend

I remember standing in that Dallas motel room, it must have been late 1987, preparing to enter Ft. Dix for Basic Training for the U. S. Army: "I swear to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic, so help me God."

All that kept running through my mind were the words of Jesus Christ: "swear not at all." I quickly put it aside, but it was there.

It was the contradiction that would define much of my adult life.

I remember trying to make my way to Law School, twice. Each time: "swear not at all."

Finally, in my 40's, I would read the book that freed India in the hands of Mahatma Gandhi, "The Kingdom Of God Is Within You," by Leo Tolstoy. Again: "swear not at all."

Tomorrow, my church will ask me to stand with the others and say the oath of allegiance to the U. S. Flag. I will stand, but my hands will remain politely at my side.

I know that that oath means death on behalf of powerful men in bankers' places. And it is the oath that Christ taught us not to swear above all oaths.

Let us pray that America will cease with oaths before one day the Anti-Christ pokes his head up behind the oath and flags of state to confuse even the very elect.

Every Single Thing

1) Every single systematic bad thing in the world comes from the corporation.

2) Every corporation comes from the state.

3) Abolish the state and you abolish every single systematic bad thing in the world.

Mr. Gorba-Trump/Mr. Gorba-Abbott, tear down this Wall!

President Ronald Reagan spoke similar words to Soviet leader Gorbachev from the Berlin Wall, as it became obvious that the Russian Economy was imploding. Reagan was influenced by Dr. George Schultz and Dr. Milton Friedman, both of the Chicago School of Economics.

Dr. Schultz' visit to Moscow is ultimately what caused the rethinking of walls or exclusion by Gorbachev.

These walls, both in America and Berlin, were designed to protect a welfare state. Dr. Friedman tells us that the free market, the most power job creator on earth, can only exist in the context of ending the welfare state, a.k.a. Ten Planks of "The Communist Manifesto."

Mr. Gorba-Trump/Mr. Gorba-Abbott, tear down this Wall!

Who do you want to shake things up in Austin?

1) I'm the first 19 year old in History to bring down a papal visit.

2) I'm the first common citizen in History to gain a face-to-face meeting with the top floor of the IRS in Washington, D. C. (And I got the answer to my question in a Gandhi outfit).

A Dream For The Stars

About a hundred years ago, two brothers invented a flying bicycle. Today, their invention is the basis for entire industries charged with carrying millions of people and products around the earth and even to the stars.

In recent weeks, I found that the earth's abortions are at 50 million per year. No doubt, the vast majority of these abortions are driven by the belief that there are just too many people on the planet, not to mention the findings of my book, "The Man Who Broke The Silence," that researched the central banking system's use of monetary expansion beyond output (inflation) to disincentivise marriage stability, liberty, property ownership and ultimately child births.

I must admit in 22 years of trucking that there are lots of cars on America's highways. I can only remember one drive through Big Bend National Park wherein I was not passed for 200 plus miles.

What?

It is clearly time to get people moving off the planet and into space, the final frontier, in mass. That mass should be at least 50 million a year to counter the current issue I describe above.

How?

A strong economic engine will be required to fund such a Herculean effort, something unseen in earth's past.

Dr. Milton Friedman tells us that the strongest economic engine in the world is the free market. His examinations of Hong Kong in his "Free to Choose" specials, still available on Youtube, tell us that free market Hong Kong's per capita income was 1/3rd below socialist Great Britain's in 1960 and 1/3rd above Great Britain's in 1995.

Who?

I suggest we get behind the Bass Brother and Elon Musk types in a diss-incorporated Texas to surge the ultimate free market behind the effort to get people into Space in a big way.

Where?

I suggest Texas.

Why?

Texas is driven by free market ideas, unlike many places on earth.

When?

Now!

My Transgender Bathroom Position:

Look, I'm a 50 year old purist libertarian. Elutheria, the Greek word, says that "liberty"/"freedom" includes anything you want in your life. I'm all for that.

I just think realistically that there is going to be a rush on dresses and wigs for every pervert's closet in America when that wall is taken down, and Buffalo Bill (and we know he is out there) can sit in the restroom stall next to your 12 year old daughter, recording device in hand (or something worse). 

Females are more easily overpowered than men. And a 12 year old girl doesn't need to be looking Buffalo Bill in the eye while she is on her way to deal with her first menstrual cycle.

Bad idea.

Anti-Christ Greg Abbott:

In the time of the Anti-Christ, every Christian (Daniel 7:25) is an illegal alien without his papers in order (Revelation 13:16).

Christianity is a stateless (Matthew 5:34) Kingdom-centric (Luke 17:21) free market (II Corinthians 3:17) religion, not a religion of walls and barriers, and the Anti-Christ knows this.

Gene Chapman at Texas NORML Speech (Marijuana Legalization) at Ft. Worth Courthouse, Passing Out Free Copies of "The Man Who Broke The Silence." 1,000 to 2,000 in attendance. themanwhobrokethesilence.blogspot.com/

We need to legalize marijuana for two reasons:  1)  A felony record for marijuana possession can ruin a kid's life for the moral equivalent of drinking a 72 oz. Dr. Pepper.  2)  I miss those marijuana brownies from the summer between my 6th and 7th grade year. 

The Rumors of My Run for Texas Governor

I was talking to a leader of the Texas LP last night, asked if the rumors were true that I was running for Texas Governor in the 2018 cycle.

My book would have to have traction with the LP, and it is on the way to leaders in the Texas and National LP now for that purpose.

If one of our billionaire libertarians were to buy 1 million copies of my book before the filing time (September, 2017), I'm sure I would have a sufficient war chest of about $10 million to be a viable Texas gubernatorial candidate against both Republican and Democrat opponents. My "Kingdom of Texas" concept has a real shot at making change in a state that is primed for maximum liberty.

1) The second I became Governor, everyone inside Texas would become a Texas Ranger, making moot the whole gun control issue.

2) Like a brain cancer, the IRS and Central Bank are killing progress, so I would seek economists to unattach Texas from that system of depopulation and slavery, without removing us from the USA. I call it Texit.

3) As my book discusses, the Leviathan that we need to rid ourselves of is the 10 planks of "The Communists Manifesto" and the "Dynamics of Enslavement."

4) I envision Texas as a Hong Kong described by Milton Friedman without a 15% income tax: Texas on Steroids/The Kingdom of Texas (a libertarian stateless society driven by your conscience).

We'll see,

I am a Philosophical Anarchist

I am a philosophical anarchist, meaning that I believe government has no moral authority to exist; however, I am a minarchist looking for zero, as I do not wish to cause harm on the way to zero.

Like brain cancer, you can get in there with a claw hammer a claw it out, or you can use a more delicate means to laser it out, let's say. America is in surgery, but let's do the job without leaving us brain dead.
