Bravo!!!!! Indeed, no victim, no crime, yet government creates victimless crimes as a way to siphon, extract, harvest, steal from its slaves...slaves who "mostly" unknowingly and/or unconsciously consented to be ruled by tyrants. I just wrote about the B.S. of Voting but you nailed this much better than me. Exceptional work!
The biggest issue that I had to overcome to arrive at the same conclusion was Authority. Being raised in the Bible-Belt, we were taught that Authority comes from God & to obey the "laws of the land", so to speak, because well, God said so. Last year, when I came across a presentation explaining Occult Psychological Operations, authority was listed as an operation. I had a visereal reaction! I couldn't believe it at first. It was life-altering for me. In about a month I went from a Statist to an Anarchist! It was explained to me that voting was participation in electing my own slave-master, so I decided to quit. That was a major decision that did not come lightly but extremely greatful I made it! Thanks for writing about theses things! I've wanted to contribute but I'm no where as skilled as you!
Yes, indeed, and let's talk about what is happening to Trump today, regardless of what you think about him.
New York State is seizing 450 millions dollars of his assets today. Why?
Let's examine this for a moment.
He was convicted of over-inflating the value of his properties in applications of loans from banks (which have already been paid off.)
As a former real estate appraiser, I can tell you that the value of a property is what a buyer would be willing to spend to purchase said property.
Therefore, without a willing buyer, and for purposes of appraisal, the value is a SUBJECTIVE figure based on an educated GUESS as to what that figure might be.
In other words, on a loan application that requires collateral, the lendee estimates what they believe their collateral is worth. The lender, the bank is free to conduct their own appraisal which may or may not agree with what the lendee BELIEVES is the value of the property.
In both cases, the lender and lendee are making a SUBJECTIVE assessment of that value, and without a willing buyer, it is nothing more than an educated guess. Markets change and flow, and that number can vary wildly based on many, many factors in a very short period of time.
What we have in NY state is the state Attorney General and a Judge conspiring to criminalize this process, and in fact charged and convicted Trump with felonies based on these subjective assessments, and then fining his Corporation for something that THEY CANNOT PROVE. They cannot prove that the property value was inflated. Only that the bank involved came up with a different figure.
So, number one, what happens between two willing parties, a lender and lendee is none of the State's business, lacking criminal intent.
Number two, the fact that these government entities are seizing assets based on this conviction amounts to election interference of a leading candidate for President.
And number three, if they can do this to Trump at this time, they can do this to anyone for any reason.
This is all very concerning, again, regardless of what one might think of Trump.
As slowly as this started, we are now on a fast water slide to communism. For nearly 2 centuries communist elites have pushed this collective idea that they had figured out utopia. Basically todays version of tyrannical communism is Klaus Schwab and his statement you will own nothing and be happy. Of coarse similar to our elite tyrants, (the entire American government) this statement does not in any way apply to them, of coarse, only to us slaves that will watch little by little all of our possessions be taken from us, just ask Donald Trump. Notice the fucking fools who cheer on the tyrants stripping a hard working man’s life achievements by a group of people that have built nothing their whole life, not unlike Germans backing the Nazis. To watch people like Merrick Garland who’s family was a product of czarist Russias Pale Settlement jail people for political reasons is disgraceful to say the least. Religious persecution is political persecution because it always politicians doing the persecuting. Leticia James and Fani Willis are spokes in this new American communist wheel. There’s a sub stack writer named Greg Reese. Recently his business partner was jailed. In December, he posted, he moved from Florida to Moscow to live in a freer place fearing a jail cell for himself. We are now certainly living in a police state. I fear my government which is the very definition of Tyranny. J.Goodrich
Wonderful Christopher! You have an amazing aptitude to write complex thinking simply and coherently. I believe you can access certain Metaphasic Truths.
The separation of money and state via crypto opens a path to take the foregoing ".. understanding out to its logical conclusion." Network States as envisaged by Balaji Srinivasen provide a framework that outlines a potential structure. We're in much better shape than we think; much of our timidity has been incentivized by *perceived* dependencies upon the state issued fiat that our current system runs on - it incentivizes consumption over saving, pulling future productivity, via debt, into our present expenditures. Fiat payment rails keep us under surveillance ensuring mass compliance. Crypto flips the script - incentivizing saving and an equity based currency system and , if done intelligently, with privacy. Inspiring article Mr. Cook. Let's Go!
Most laws are created to protect the rich (top 10% perhaps) to their advantage at the expense of the bottom 90%, or slave class. Most laws are silly nonsense crated by silly organizations. Being mostly backed by an agenda, laws are remade and remade to the point of being useless.
The most difficult part of being an anarchist is the neverending obligation to explain yourself to the "but who will pay for the roads?" and the "If you don't vote you can't complain" people. They do not in any way feel the need to justify their belief in the system because it is the norm. I cannot count the number of times I have had to correct people on the very basic definition of the word Anarchism and what an anarchist actually is.
Brilliant! Up here in Canada, some of us learned just how unfree we really are during the Trucker protest. That event revealed the truth to me - that we are indeed slaves, the folly of voting etc. - and you have explained it here perfectly. Great work! Thank you!

Natural law, the rest are just policies

Great post. I’m adding St. Thomas Aquinas to my list of badass saints right next to Boethius (he appeared in our Wheel of Fortune post a few weeks ago: https://open.substack.com/pub/thinkingman/p/wheel-of-fortune-is-way-more-interesting?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web )
I’ve been meaning to sit down and read Thomas Aquinas for a while now. This essay just moved him to the top of the list. Well done!
Brilliant! Up here in Canada, some of us learned just how unfree we really are during the Trucker protest. That event revealed the truth to me - that we are indeed slaves, the folly of voting etc. - and you have explained it here perfectly. Great work! Thank you!
Well, today is yet another day I wish I could get my hands on Aquinas' commentary on Romans.
All good followers of Christ are anarchists with a lazy attitude towards others. LOL
Excellent piece. I very much agree with your positions and liked your delivery style.
Great article, I admire the elegance but also the blistering truth.
