Fear and Loathing In the U.S.M.C. Part 2 | Brainwashed in the Corps
"FIVE! FOUR! TWO! ONE! STOP! You're done! Get your nasty hands off!" The drill instructor belted out in his guttural scratchy faux voice. "I said you're done!" He screamed as he got into a recruits face. Everyone was frozen. "Get On Line!" The recruits left their ALICE packs lay and jumped to attention on the little yellow lines painted on the [...]
Dirty Old Uncle Sam and the Anglo-Persian Oil Company
The people have been lied to. Anarchy was turned into a bad word and any mention of the abolition of the state reverts to claims of utopia or chaos. Who spreads those lies? Is it the state ran schools teaching in defense of the state they serve? The left and the right are two sides of the same coin which is already spent as the national debt [...]
Fear and Loathing in the U.S.M.C. For God and Country
I was young and naive when I joined the U.S.M.C. I held an anti-authoritarian attitude and libertarian leanings, before my embrace of anarchism. I was at that point a John Stossel libertarian. I would frequent the Advocates for Self Governance. I still held to the idea that there was a 'good government' and this was the killing kind. It was my [...]
Of Course The Marine Corps Trains You To Kill Silly

My time in service as a Marine opened my eyes to just how really wrong our government is. I was kind of shocked to see the Raw Story was posting old USMC cadence as a story. In an interview with Real News [...]

From military imperialism to militarized police the government is in the business of death and theft. The government is in the business of forcing people to do what [...]
If You See Any Video I Post, See This One
Hate, violence, murder, oppression, war, and rape are disgusting tragedies that are realities of our government. We must not be silent. We must speak out on behalf of those who have no voice and power. Look at the true nature of governments.
A case against government Part 3: State Violence
It occurred to me that there may be those out there who read this site and still do not comprehend my philosophy. I think people loose me when they argue what the role government should have. I ask if we should have a government. My answer is no. I think a good place to start is to look at is what I call State Violence. In order to [...]
The Afghan War: “Why and to What End?”
A Washington Post article today makes an account of a Marine Corps Captain, Matthew Hoh, who resigned his post in protest of the war in Afghanistan. He states: "I have lost understanding of and confidence in the strategic purposes of the United States' presence in Afghanistan...I have doubts and reservations about our current strategy and planned [...]
