INTRODUCTION
1. Politics is an extension of ethics. Politics is about good men versus evil men.
2. Ethics depends on the nature of man. It is the nature of man to seek happiness. To seek happiness, man must be free.
3. Good men work to make men free. Evil men work to make men slaves.
4. Freedom means no man takes anything from you without your consent. And you don’t take anything from any other man without his consent.
5. Evil men lie. Politics is mostly about searching for truth in a sea of lies.
6. When evil men dominate a society, illusion and treason also dominate.
7. What is needed is a Copernican revolution in thinking, to strip away the illusion. Copernicus was the man who said the Earth goes around the Sun, when everybody else believed the Sun was going around the Earth.
8. This Copernican shift in viewpoint can cause anguish of spirit. The situation might be worse than you think. Having the illusion stripped away might be unpleasant.
THE NATURE OF MAN
9. Man is basically a spiritual being, not a body. He lives forever, both before and after the body he uses in this particular lifetime.
10. There are two kinds of body, male and female. But there is only one kind of spiritual being.
11. Good, ultimately, is anything which helps man to have a greater awareness and understanding of himself as a spiritual being. The ultimate good for man is to ascend up the scale of awareness and to achieve a state of divinity. This is often called “union with God”. This phenomenon has been observed in all great religions, including those which teach that union with God is not possible.
12. Evil is anything which causes man to become more ignorant, stupid, unaware, incapable, and degraded. Evil is anything which enslaves man. This includes most drugs.
13. Sanity and common sense are when you look ahead to the future long-term consequences of your actions and take that into account in your planning, rather than only looking at the immediate short-term results of what you do.
14. Sometimes planning ahead calls for self-discipline, when what you want to do and what you should do are in conflict. This applies to a group or a nation, as well as to an individual.
15. The purpose of life is to pursue happiness.
LIBERTY
16. When society is close to chaos, strong men acquire followers and become warlords. When this condition becomes stable, the biggest warlord becomes king, and lesser warlords become nobles. Then the idea arises that kings and nobles should not be allowed to kill, enslave, or steal from common people. Thus the idea of “rights” arises.
17. The idea of “rights” also comes from religious teachings about what actions are right and what actions are wrong.
18. Rights need to be enforced. In the absence of enforcement, strong men take what they want, with no thought of rights. Chaos returns.
19. Rights are agreements about what men are allowed to do. To say that some right does or does not exist means that that is what the agreement should be.
20. Liberty is the right to believe, to think, to speak, and to act, as you choose, without any force or any orders compelling you to act or forbidding you to act in any specific way.
21. Liberty is the supreme value in politics.
22. The liberty of one person is limited only by the liberty of others. There is no right to murder, to steal, to conquer, or to enslave.
23. Liberty includes the right to dislike others, to disapprove of others, to not associate with others, to not work with or hire others, and to not sell to, buy from, or trade with others. There is no right to force another to associate with you in any way. That would not be liberty; that would be slavery.
24. In the absence of liberty, the purpose of life is to achieve liberty, as the first step in the pursuit of happiness.
25. The right to property, the right to own things and to keep them, is essential to liberty. Without property, one is a slave.
26. You have the right to own (1) what you have created, (2) what you have acquired by a free and honest trade, and (3) what you have acquired by a free and honest gift, including gifts from a parent, a mate, or a friend.
27. There is no right to equal property. People differ widely in their ability and desire to create, to work, to produce, to organize, to manage, and to trade. The claim to a right to equal property is just a way of stealing. The result is universal poverty.
28. The government does not have the right to take honestly acquired property from one person and give it to another, even with a majority vote.
29. Contracts are alterations of property rights which are voluntarily agreed to by the parties to the contract.
30. The right to contract is the right to make a contract and then to get it enforced by the government if necessary.
31. Without the right to contract, business, trade, and industry are not possible.
32. The government does not have the right, for any reason, to prevent a contract, or to fail to enforce a contract, between parties who desire to make that contract. Such reasons include allegations that the contract is unfair to one party, or dangerous to one party, or that the price is too high or too low.
33. However, the government does have the right to prevent a contract which will benefit a slave government or any other enemy of liberty.
34. The right to life is a form of property right. The body is the property of the spiritual being who is using it.
35. One’s own body is one’s own property. The right to life includes the right to risk your own life, or even to take it, to kill one’s own body. The government has no right to protect you against your will.
36. The right to liberty is more important than the right to life.
37. The four basic rights, in order of importance, are Liberty, Life, Property, and Contract.
38. The rights to Life, Property, and Contract are implied in the right to Liberty.
39. Liberty does not include the right to destroy liberty.
40. Freedom of religion does not extend to any religion which advocates the death, conquest, or enslavement of unbelievers.
41. Freedom of religion does not extend to any religion which enslaves its own believers. But if the believers have voluntarily chosen that slavery, then it does apply, because it is not slavery, but their own free choice.
GOVERNMENT
42. Different people have different desires and different abilities. They seek happiness in different ways. Some ways are consistent with liberty for all men and some are not.
43. Liberty needs to be enforced.
44. The four basic rights need to be enforced by an organization which is (1) watchful to enforce them, and (2) responsive to requests to enforce them.
45. In the absence of enforcement, some people, who care more about their own desires than about the rights of others, will violate the rights of others.
46. The creation, preservation, and increase of liberty require (1) the understanding that liberty is good and desirable, (2) the decision to promote and preserve and increase liberty by persuasion and by force, and (3) the work and sacrifice necessary to do it. If any of these three is missing, liberty will be lost, and slavery will result.
47. Justice is nothing more nor less than enforcement of the rights to Liberty, Life, Property, and Contract.
48. The proper purpose of government is to enforce the rights to Liberty, Life, Property, and Contract. It does so by using physical force against the enemies of these rights, and by restoring property to its rightful owner.
49. There is no other proper purpose of government.
50. Government is the organization in any given area which has the right to use physical force against people, and to direct the use of force, including deadly force.
51. Military organizations are the government’s tool to apply physical force outside its own territory.
52. Police organizations are the government’s tool to apply physical force inside its own territory.
53. What is important is not the form of government, but the product of government. What is important is whether and to what degree the government enforces the rights to Liberty, Life, Property, and Contract, within its own territory, and also vigorously promotes the same rights for all men everywhere. It is also important whether the government will continue to do this in the future.
PROMOTION OF LIBERTY
54. It is not enough for a government to enforce liberty within its own territory. Liberty must be strongly and vigorously promoted for all men everywhere. Otherwise evil men seeking to conquer and to enslave will win, and liberty will be lost.
55. Therefore the proper purpose of government includes the strong and vigorous promotion of liberty for all men everywhere.
56. A government has no right to enslave its own people or to keep them in slavery. If another government which enforces liberty for its own people can overthrow such a slave government, and replace it with a government which enforces liberty, by persuasion, by supporting good men, and with a minimum of violence, then that act of liberation is a great service.
57. If giving an area “self-determination” results in the enslavement of the people of that area by a tyrant, even if that tyrant is elected by a majority vote, then so-called “self-determination” has given those people slavery, not liberty.
58. If a foreign power rules an area as a colony, and enforces liberty for those people, that is far better than “self-determination” that results in slavery. And in exchange for providing such a valuable service to the people of the colonized area, the foreign power is rightfully entitled to take home some wealth from the colonized area. This is apart from any trade under the right to contract between people of the colony and people of the foreign power.
VIRTUES
59. Men are subject to three main weaknesses. When Decadent, they become (1) Trusting-Gullible, (2) Pacifist, and (3) Lazy-Greedy. These are weaknesses in the three aspects of man’s spiritual nature: Reason, Feeling, and Will; Thought, Emotion, and Effort. Because they are Trusting-Gullible, they believe whatever lies they are told. Because they are Pacifist, they see no evil and do not fight for freedom. Because they are Lazy-Greedy, they want to be supported and no longer believe in the right to own property.
60. When Vigorous, men become (1) Thoughtful-Inquiring, (2) lovers of justice and haters of evil, and (3) Industrious. They have Moral Courage. They feel Righteous Wrath in the presence of evil and injustice, but not in the presence of what is fair and honest.
61. Honor is giving others what is rightfully theirs without compulsion or hesitation because of the joy that comes from doing the right thing. This is the same as Moral Courage.
62. The three principal virtues are: Thoughtful Inquiry, Moral Courage, and Industriousness. Together they can be called “Vigor”.
63. The three principal weaknesses are: Trust-Gullibility, Pacifism, and Laziness-Greed. Together they can be called “Decadence”.
64. A Vigorous person thinks about the far future. A Decadent person thinks only about the near future.
65. Civilizations, cultures, nations, and governments can be ranked according to their dedication to the four basic rights: Liberty, Life, Property, and Contract.
66. Civilizations, cultures, nations, and governments can also be ranked according to their dedication to the three virtues: Thoughtful Inquiry, Moral Courage, and Industriousness.
67. The level of a culture or civilization or nation is the average level of Honor and Vigor in the population.
68. The higher the level of Honor and Vigor in a civilization, the less need there is for physical enforcement of Justice.
69. When Honor is low in a culture, more people try to live by taking what belongs to others, and fewer people try to live by being productive and serving others.
70. Civilization tends to go in cycles, to rise and fall. In hard times, men become spiritual, they fight for freedom, and they work hard. This brings prosperity. Then men become pleasure-oriented, indifferent to evil, and lazy. Then hard times return. When Vigorous, they rise. When Decadent, they fall.
71. Sometimes the common man is easily misled. This is much more true when civilization is Decadent.
72. It is not true that “the people” know best, or that the majority vote is an infallible guide to truth and justice. The quality of the majority vote depends entirely on the quality of the population that is voting. It is no excuse that they are being lied to, because they should know when they are being lied to, and they should find out the truth.
73. It is much easier to deceive, to enslave, and to conquer a population which is Decadent than a population which is Vigorous. A Vigorous population will fight to the death for freedom. A Decadent population deceives and enslaves itself and begs for masters.
74. Evil men work hard to promote Decadence and to minimize Vigor. However, when they have achieved control of an area, and are building an army of conquest, then they promote military strength, but not thoughtfulness or justice.
CONSPIRACY
75. If Liberty has too many enemies and too few friends, then government falls away from its proper purpose and becomes the tool of tyranny, slavery, and evil.
76. Conquest or enslavement can be accomplished by physical force or by deception or both.
77. Conquest or enslavement can be accomplished suddenly or slowly by small steps. When it is done slowly, some people will not even notice.
78. Evil men pretend to be good men. Therefore they plan their evil work in secret. This secret evil planning is called “conspiracy”. A conspiracy can be large or small.
79. The leaders, officials, officers, bureaucrats, agents, and workers of a government can be secretly working against their own nation. They can be working for a foreign nation or for any conspiratorial group
80. In a large conspiracy, only a few at the top have the whole picture. There are circles within circles within circles. Some work for power, money, prestige, and the thrill of being part of the “inner circle”. Some believe their own propaganda. Some are thugs. Some are stupid.
81. Control and secrecy are also maintained by blackmail, extortion, and murder.
82. To ridicule the idea of conspiracy is to ridicule the idea that there might be evil men in government.
83. Evil men ridicule the idea of conspiracy.
84. One cannot properly assume, without considering the evidence, that a man is good or evil, or that a nation is good or evil, or that there is or is not a conspiracy.
85. The important evidence about a man is not what he says, but what he does. An evil man will smile sweetly while stabbing you in the back. He will speak of God and virtue, while leading the nation into slavery and destruction.
86. In considering what a man does, one must also consider the simple and complex methods which evil men use to deceive, to mislead, to trick, and to betray.
87. A nation is good or evil depending on whether good or evil men have the power in that nation.
88. When evil men are in power, good men are made powerless or killed, and evil men hold all positions of authority.
89. The people and the majority vote can be easily influenced and controlled by evil men and groups using agitators, politicians, publications, and organizations. They don’t tell you what you need to know. They use lies and half-truths. They apply principles incorrectly. They use all manner of trickery and deception. And all the while, they proclaim their own honesty and goodness.
90. Conspiracy is far advanced when it controls or strongly influences all or most of the important authorities and organizations in society. This includes criminal organizations.
91. The ultimate goal of evil men is to accumulate all wealth and power for themselves, so that the population owns no property and is enslaved.
WAR
92. The primary tool of evil men is to create war and conflict everywhere. Whenever there is disagreement or tension or conflict, they work to make it worse, and to make it as bad and as violent as possible.
93. Evil men work to make good nations weak and to make evil nations strong.
94. War is a crisis, so it helps to persuade people (1) to increase the size and power and income of government, (2) to give up their liberty, and (3) to go into debt. Thus the population is brought closer to slavery, even if they win the war.
95. When the size and power and income of government increase, liberty decreases.
96. Evil men work always and everywhere to increase the size and power and income of government.
97. Perpetual war, perpetual conflict, and perpetual crisis, serve to grind the population down into slavery.
98. A nation can be attacked in five ways: (1) military invasion, (2) subversion of the government, (3) degradation of the culture, (4) demographic invasion, and (5) internal rebellion.
99. When large numbers of people move from one area to another, the culture of the new area can be changed, making it better or making it worse. This is demographic invasion.
DECEPTION
100. Most enemies are the wrong enemy. Evil men create war and conflict and stand aside. In any war or conflict, you want to find the hidden promoter. He’s the real enemy.
101. When seeking to create war or to make war more violent, evil men may provoke an enemy or a potential enemy into an attack. This attack then justifies the war.
102. Agents can be sent into the enemy camp, who then advocate an attack, or do or advocate anything that makes the enemy look bad.
103. A fraudulent but real attack can be staged against oneself. The desired enemy is framed as the attacker, even though actually innocent. This fraudulent attack then justifies the war, or whatever retaliation is desired.
104. Evil men often set up their own opposition. The leader who opposes some evil cause may be an agent of that very cause with the purpose to betray the opposition. You have to look beneath the surface.
105. An unpopular group may pretend to oppose some legislation or action and thereby get it pushed through.
106. “The action is in the reaction.”. Evil men want something done, such as a new war, a reduction of liberty, a new law, new taxes, or more debts. To achieve this target, they generate or stage a crisis. Then, to solve the crisis, they push through the desired change.
107. It is necessary to learn to think like a conspirator, full of devious and crafty schemes and fiendish plots.
108. There are many lesser degrees of evil, but it is necessary to get the idea of a truly evil man. He would willingly make a deal with the devil. He prides himself on his evil accomplishments. He thinks virtue is for fools. He is without mercy or remorse. His objective is disaster. His joy is to see the suffering of others. But he dresses well. His manners are perfect. He is a man of affairs. He speaks persuasively about what is needed for the good of the world.
109. Directing and managing a large conspiracy is a high skill and art. It should be admired. There are many examples of fine craftsmanship. But the end result is universal suffering, agony, despair, and degradation.
FORCES
110. There are eight kinds of forces: physical forces, biological forces, legal forces, financial forces, social forces, esthetic forces, intellectual forces, and spiritual forces.
111. Each of the eight kinds of forces can be used either for good or for evil.
112. Force itself is neither good nor evil.
113. Refusal to use force is evil because it results in no action, no work, no production, and no influence. Nothing gets done.
114. The culture of a society is carried primarily by its religious, educational, and entertainment organizations. These are the primary carriers of spiritual, intellectual, and esthetic forces in a society.
115. The enemies of a nation will seek to reduce the level of Honor and Vigor in the population. They will attack the culture itself. They will subvert the organizations which carry the culture.
116. Primary physical evils include:
a. Helping hostile slave governments to build huge war machines and armies of conquest by giving them huge amounts of technology and money.
b. Dismantling strategic weapons, including missiles.
c. Failing to build defenses against enemy strategic weapons, including defenses against missiles.
d. Failing to build a fence to stop demographic invasion. Failing to deport illegal aliens.
e. Denying to the common man the right to own guns.
117. The primary purpose of allowing the common man to own guns is to make it easy for the common man to kill people working for the government. It also helps in case of invasion. Defense against street crime is only a secondary purpose. Evil men want to take guns away from the common people so it will be easier to enslave them. It makes them helpless against government tyranny and against invasion.
118. Primary biological evils include:
a. Promoting the widespread use of drugs, both illegal and legal. The worst are psychiatric drugs.
b. Suppression of all health care methods other than drugs. It is only permissible to “drug, cut, and burn”. This has resulted in a whole world of “alternative health care”. This is where all the real healers have gone. They are relentlessly persecuted by the government and by the medical establishment.
c. Pushing everybody into health insurance plans which are controlled by the government and by the medical establishment. This is done by having the government pay so-called “health benefits”. It is also done by employer “health plans” which are tax free income to the employee.
d. Filling teeth using mercury, which is a deadly poison.
e. Vaccinations. They contain many poisons.
f. Filling the soil with vast quantities of pesticides.
g. Filling cattle with vast quantities of antibiotics, hormones, drugs, and unnatural food, so that they are no longer fit to be eaten or to give milk.
h. Pollution. This is harmful to all living things. It also justifies expansion of government power to “fight pollution”.
119. Primary legal evils include:
a. The life and death power of psychiatrists, operating outside of normal legal procedures. They can imprison someone who is guilty of no crime in a psychiatric institution by saying he is insane. Then they can murder him or turn him into a vegetable by means of brain surgery, shock treatment, and drugs. This can be used to eliminate political enemies. Also, a criminal who is obviously guilty can escape the usual penalty because a psychiatrist says he is insane, and then later he can be released because a psychiatrist says he is not insane anymore.
b. Judges and lawyers (1) who do not know that what is right and what is legal can be very different, (2) who have no sense of right and wrong, and (3) who do not know that the purpose of law is to enforce the rights to Liberty, Life, Property, and Contract. There is no substitute for an honest judge with a good sense of right and wrong.
c. Too many laws, so everything gets hopelessly complicated.
d. Too much procedure, so that even small matters require huge amounts of time and money.
e. Penalties way out of proportion to the offense or for trivial offenses. Also trivial penalties for major offenses.
f. Releasing criminals who are obviously guilty of some major crime because of some small mistake in procedure. Incorrect procedure, police brutality, and all police wrongdoing should be treated as separate crimes.
g. Failure to require restitution, whenever possible, by the criminal to the victim. This restitution should be double, both to compensate the victim and to penalize the criminal.
h. Lawsuits initiated just because the defendant has money, for the purpose of robbing the defendant.
i. The absence of any penalty against the plaintiff when the defendant is found innocent, for taking the defendant’s time and money to defend himself.
j. Lawsuits initiated to destroy a political enemy by taking all his time and money in court proceedings, even if no judgment can be obtained against him.
k. Laws which make everybody guilty, thereby making it possible for the government to attack whomever they please.
l. So-called “civil rights laws” which make it possible for a member of a minority group to sue a company for routine actions, such as firing him. The company then has to prove, in court, at vast expense, that this routine action was NOT because that person was a member of that minority group. Liberty means the company has the right to do it for that very reason or for no reason at all. Liberty means the company does not have to explain or justify any decision it makes to offer a contract or to decline a contract offered.
m. Routine kidnapping of children on the slightest pretext to “protect the child”. Many families live for years under the tyranny of judges and of ruthless petty dictators from the so-called “Department of Children and Family Services”. That’s if they don’t simply kidnap the children. The basic doctrine being promoted is that children belong to the government, not to the parents.
120. Primary financial evils include:
a. Central banks, which allow the controllers to increase or decrease the quantity of money at will, thereby secretly controlling markets for the benefit of insiders.
b. Runaway inflation, which causes money to become worthless.
c. Runaway debt, which causes credit collapse when everybody goes broke and defaults together, and which causes debt slavery. This includes personal, corporate, and government debt. This includes huge government budget deficits and huge national trade deficits.
d. The vast size of the tax burden. As the saying goes, “Even God only wants ten percent!”.
e. Income tax. (1) This burdens the entire population with vast quantities of bookkeeping which produces nothing. (2) It gives the government license to demand total knowledge of everyone’s private affairs. (3) It makes it easy for the government to persecute, steal from, and jail political enemies, through tax audits.
f. Taxes on inheritances and gifts. This is just robbery.
a. The unthinkability of conspiracy. Any thought or mention of conspiracy is an unforgivable social offense.
b. So-called “political correctness”. A whole range of dogmas are unquestionable in polite company because they are considered “politically correct”. This is thought control.
c. Compulsory universal love. We are supposed to love everybody, no matter how vicious and depraved. Any comment on a black man, a woman, a homosexual, or a member of any other “minority group”, must be preceded by proof of love. The presumption is that you are guilty of “hate”.
d. The theory of “hate crime”. Anyone who disapproves of homosexuality is accused of “hate crime”. The Bible severely condemns homosexuality. This is now being turned around. Christians are condemned for “hate”. Thus the Bible is attacked. Christianity is attacked. The moral foundations of our civilization are attacked. And anything resembling righteous wrath in the face of decadence, depravity, and perversion is attacked. The essence of “hate crime” is righteous wrath in the face of evil. “Hate crime” is thought crime.
122. Primary esthetic evils include:
a. Entertainment which invariably promotes the establishment propaganda line so that people believe what they are supposed to believe. Any single work of entertainment, movie or TV show or music, is permitted under the right to Liberty. But the uniformity is so rigid, and so misleading, that there is clearly strong hidden control.
b. Entertainment which always leads the population to more acceptance and more idealizing of crime, violence, and promiscuity, and more recently, homosexuality and hatred of religion. This is called “pushing the envelope” and is considered a high virtue in the entertainment industry.
123. Primary intellectual evils include:
a. Schools run by the government. This is sold as “free public education”. The results are: (1) Children are simply not educated. They do not learn reading, writing, and arithmetic. They do not learn historical data. And they do not learn how to think intelligently. (2) Children are indoctrinated with government lies and so-called “political correctness”. (3) Schools become dangerous, riddled with crime and drugs. (4) Schools become a major channel for psychiatric drugging of children. Drugs are often forced on children, against parental objection, on threat of kidnapping by the government to “protect the child”.
b. Universities which act very much like schools run by the government. Universities are primary vehicles for indoctrinating young people into so-called “political correctness”.
c. News media, including newspapers, magazines, television, and radio, which act like they are run by the government. They purport to inform the public, but include no useful information so that one might be able to understand what is happening. They also frequently become simply entertainment, and do not even pretend to inform.
d. So-called “science” which is bought and paid for, so it delivers the desired “scientific conclusions” to serve the government propaganda line. This includes the theory of “global warming”, which justifies expansion of government power to “fight global warming”.
e. The idea that there is peace, when there is no peace. Failure to notice and to report the construction of huge war machines by slave governments.
f. The idea that we are prosperous, when we are close to bankruptcy.
g. The idea that “moderation” or “compromise” is good, when it is only half insane. The mark of an incompetent judge is that he will compromise when one party makes sense and the other does not.
h. The idea that the political spectrum runs from the far Left which believes in big government, to the far Right which believes in big government. And somehow the correct “moderate” position involves government which keeps getting bigger.
i. The idea on the Left that the Right is the problem, and the idea on the Right that the Left is the problem. Both deny and ignore the conspiracy which controls both, and which sets them against each other, so as to keep itself hidden and unknown.
j. The idea that the poor can become prosperous by stealing from the rich. Or by killing the rich.
k. Failure to study and to make widely known the methods of propaganda, conspiracy, and subversion.
124. Primary spiritual evils include:
a. The theory that man’s nature is entirely material.
b. The theory that man is an animal, that he is just one species among many. Sometimes there is also the idea that all species should have equal rights.
c. The theory that emotional problems are caused by malfunctioning brain chemistry, and that the correct handling is psychiatric drugs. This theory dominates legal and educational organizations, and is heavily infecting religious organizations.
d. Subversion of the organizations and doctrines of Christianity so that liberal Christianity is indistinguishable from physics. In Latin America, this subversion takes the form of “Liberation Theology”, which is Marxism translated into Roman Catholic language.
e. Relentless elimination of Christianity from any public area, including schools run by the government. In particular, the ruthless extermination of any trace of Christianity from the public celebration of Christmas.
f. Killing Christians because they are Christians.
g. Pantheism. The theory that the physical universe is the same as God, that matter itself is alive, that there is no difference between matter and spirit. This makes it possible to use the language of religion with the meaning of materialism. Belief in the existence of spiritual beings is replaced with “celebration” of the beauty of matter.
h. Endless preoccupation with sex, sports, and other trivialities. But mostly sex.
SUPPORT OF LIBERTY
125. Liberty is a right that can be agreed upon by all decent men.
126. The universe of respectable men includes all those who agree that liberty is the supreme value in politics.
127. Anyone who does not agree that liberty is the supreme value in politics is seeking to enslave others, at least to some degree, and is therefore not respectable.
128. The best way to assure the preservation and increase of liberty is to require that every citizen of the nation and every officer and every agent and every worker of its government should be well taught and well trained in the principles and rationale of liberty. They should be further well educated in the threats, deceptions, trickery, and conspiracies which are used to destroy liberty, so they will be better able to recognize danger when it occurs. They should learn the history of many cases where conspiracy has created war and subverted nations and organizations and destroyed liberty. They should be further required to swear an oath to enforce liberty within their own nation and to vigorously promote liberty for all men everywhere. These requirements should be prerequisites to citizenship and only citizens may serve as officers or agents or workers or legislators or judges in the government, including its military and police organizations.
129. In establishing or using such a system, it must be realized that these schools which award certificates of education in liberty will automatically become primary points of attack for the enemies of liberty. They should be watched very closely.
130. Throughout history, slavery is the rule, liberty is the exception. Liberty is fragile, delicate, and easily lost.
131. Regardless of the situation, it is never ethically or spiritually permissible to give up the fight for Liberty. To surrender your soul to despair and rage is to become yourself evil, to become what you have been fighting. This applies when, as it is now, civilization is falling and nobody seems to notice or care. It will apply in hard times, in war, in famine, in times of chaos. And, if it should happen, it will apply when Liberty has been lost.
132. The study of Liberty, as outlined in these LAWS OF POLITICS, is always relevant. You should always be prepared for the moment when an opportunity will arise to step forward with a doctrine and a plan in support of Liberty.
