(A BAKER’S DOZEN (TM)) Now we have survived – even thrived! – for four weeks with only “minimum essential” government. How much farther can we go? When will we really see what it is like to have the FedGov really shut down? Are we, should we, heed the warnings about the catastrophe of not having the FedGov “taking care of us?”
Time for a bit of humor. So here is a selection of old WARNING SIGNS from the point of view of lovers of liberty:

We could fill the pages of this webzine/commentary for years with examples of justice twisted, perverted, and denied. Kiriakou is just one of thousands of people who have suffered from injustice. Even when they were themselves part of the machine that ground them up and spit them out.
American military officers (at least most of them) and even some American politicians and government leaders once understood a basic principle. What? That men and women who stand up for the right, for liberty, for justice, for others, often have to pay a horrible price. It is understood by those who wrote and signed the Declaration of Independence, who realized that they were putting not just their lives and their fortunes on the line, but also their “sacred honor” – that they would be vilified, condemned, and considered “without honor” because they valued certain important matters more than the people around them.
Disobeying a direct order, breaking rules and regulations, revealing deep secrets (sometimes secrets you have sworn to protect) for the right reasons is going to be condemned and punished. It takes moral courage – and a lot of it – to do the right thing.
The following is a commentary by a correspondent, Bob Malone:

Interestingly, most people believe doctors such as Rebecca Shatsky, [a California oncologist specializing in breast cancer] because we have all been programmed from childhood to trust the good specialist with the white coat that works in a highly respected hospital. Same with the teacher, the judge, the preacher and many other occupations where trust almost goes with the occupation. In older days it may have been real and justified, but after the collective behavior of all such professions, in response to COVID-19, how is it possible to trust them?

So we get a chuckle out of tee-shirts and posters like this one:
Though we hasten to point out that sometimes the idiots are engineers themselves. The statement above is an indication that we are deluded if we think that we can solve problems once and for all. And that “this time” we did it right. Thus, it is a never-ending struggle and takes place on multiple fronts. Idiotic engineers do not make things better. Indeed, they can make things worse. And often do.

All four of these men make an important point about “democracy.”(And by the way, make Winston Churchill into the liar and propagandist he so often was, claiming that ‘Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…’

Prager U: The Girling of the Boy Scouts
We understand that some of our readers will object to our opinion regarding the BSA past and present. It was, in many ways, a direct child of British imperialism and nurtured (as the video points out) by the Progressive agenda of Teddy Roosevelt. But it rose far above those beginnings and overcame many of the faults: it not only made boys into men, it also molded American culture and society for the better.
Our own response to the correspondent who shared it with us is provided below. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated:
Continue readingThis comes from Dr. Robert Malone, a maverick in medical circles, who has since been appointed by The Donald and RFKJr to be part of the review process for vaccines. Including the now known and proven to be deadly COVID-19 “vaccines”:
The dominant narrative, repeatedly reinforced via a wide range of channels, marketing, propaganda, and censorship – particularly during the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak- is that all vaccines, including the mRNA and adenovirus genetic therapy-based vaccines, are “safe and effective.” This typically unqualified but oft-repeated phrase has characteristics of a catechism of faith repeated by “true believers” of a vaccine-promoting cult of public health officers, academics dependent on the vaccine industry, industrial vaccinologists, the vast majority of specialist physician guilds (that universally accept funding from vaccine-manufacturing corporations), and their surrogates. Surrogates include corporate media, politicians, and academic journals that almost universally also accept significant direct or indirect funding from vaccine manufacturers. Any who question any aspect of this catechism are typically attacked, censored, and ostracized by cult members.
Call it the “Gospel of the Caduceus” – only the priesthood of qualified and anointed medical personnel and their holy drugs can save lives.
Continue readingMost readers are familiar with the saying (apparently attributed to Thomas Merton), The more you squeeze, the less you have.
When it comes to the Imperial regime of the District of Criminals, this certainly appears to be the case. The FedGov is no longer content with the enemies it claims to have long had: The Donald and his minions seem to be searching out for – and making – more.
Of course, American governments have long demonstrated a certain lack of finesse at both diplomacy and intelligence gathering and interpreting. And Congress has long demonstrated the old saying about the intelligence of a committee. But in recent months – even days! – this seems to be accelerating.
Externally: we seem to have long accepted that Russia must be an enemy, regardless of their political and economic system. Ditto for China. Of course we can smile at the antics of the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea (North Korea), the rabid Satan-baiting of Iran (Persia), and a few other places.
Continue readingThe Price of Liberty makes no bones about it: we are lovers of liberty (libertarians) and anarchists (against mandatory human government) because we believe in God. In the Creator. He Who is three-in-one, who sent His Son to die for the sins of His creation, human beings. We do not see any other political philosophy (and not a single political party, including the US’s Libertarian Party) which is compatible with being a follower of the Messiah (Christ).
As such, we certainly believe in the idea of “No (Human) Kings.” And for that matter, no Presidents (except of book clubs, maybe). No governors (not even on engines). We have no problem with Mayors (as long as it is an honorary position with no power). So you’d think that we might support all these “No King” rallies.
Well…

The Price of Liberty 
Four weeks…
The 28th of October, 2025. The FedGov has been shut down for four weeks. Twenty-eight days.
As we all know, the results are catastrophic. The Fifty States have fallen into anarchy and chaos. Jerusalem in AD 70 and Berlin in AD 1945 are pale fore-shadows of New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and DC. The Germanies in the Thirty Years’ War fared better than the Fifty States.
