George Donnelly on Spooner’s “No Treason”
In “No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority,” Lysander Spooner convincingly argues that the United States constitution can not possibly be said to have a binding effect on anyone, be they signers of the document, those living at the time of its signing or those who have since lived. The only kind of document that historically has had [...]
Just the “law” is Bullshit – Sheriff Joes’ Hypocrisy
The Anti-Migrant movement often uses the single defense of "legal" vs. "illegal" as if they are on some sanctimonious crusade to defend the law of the state. You can see the ignorance of the "law" stance in my article: Rule of Law. Now that the precious law is no longer on the side of the anti-migrant pro 1070 group their king tyrant comes forward [...]
Anarchism: Necessary But Not Sufficient
This article could be seen as a follow up to my previous article, Without Adjectives. In further discussion with a few people, talking about the extra-anarchistic aspects of various forms of social justice, I said “Anarchism is necessary, but not sufficient, to create a just society.” It seemed like a statement that warranted a bit of [...]
The Elephant In The Border Shack

This is the equivalent of someone telling you that they are right simply because they say so. This has been used recently in my neighborhood to defend an attack on the poverty [...]
Statism and Myth as a Tool of Survival and Perpetuation Part VIII: The State Above the Law
When individuals establish for themselves a government of their own choosing, they generally establish a structure for that government, and explicitly spell out the mission of that government, its purposes, and most importantly, the limitations they impose upon that government. Every bit of detail which outlines the functions of the various [...]
The National Inventory Of Human Beings Vs. The Migrant
Are you authorized to exist within the confines of the state? Have you been cataloged and placed in big brothers database? The right has gone on a rampage against migrants. The hypocritical belief seems to be that liberty and freedom should be afforded to those that are born into it seems to contradict many of their stances on the constitution. [...]
The Police State’s ‘Cardinal Rule’: The Mundane Must Submit
British officer: You call yourself a patriot, and a loyal subject to King George?Hawkeye: I don't call myself "subject" to much of anything.Hawkeye explains the foundational tenet of the American worldview to a self-important armed government functionary offended by the frontiersman's principled defiance; from the 1992 version of Last of the [...]
