President Barack Obama will send American forces to Honduras to restore former Honduran President Manuel Zelaya by force, or will use American civil and military resources to support a third party invasion (by the Sandinista regime in Nicaragua) to do the same.

(For a short explanation of what's going on down there I will refer you to Neil Boortz's article on the situation.)

Some people may object to this prediction. They insist on believing that we are now living in a new age of peace, love, and happy chocolates. And that under the rule of our new political messiah a military intervention in the internal affairs of another nation is now a thing of the past. I wouldn't be surprised if those same people still believe in the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and Barbara Streisand.

My answer to such infantile objections is this, to the those who uphold the moral and legal primacy of the parasite, POWER IS LIFE. Thus any obstacle to absolute power is essentially seen as toxic to would-be absolute ruler.

The President of Honduras attempted to violate the Honduran Constitution and refused to obey an order of the Honduran Supreme Court. As a result he was removed from office in accordance to Honduran law. What the armed forces of Honduras did is in no way, morally or legally, distinguishable from that of a police officer or sheriff enforcing an order issued by a local judge.

Think of it as a constitutional republic in action.

But to the neolithic god-kings and their mobs of worshipers the exercise of the actual rule of law is an abomination. It sets an example to the people of other nations (and I'm looking at YOU my fellow Americans) for how to properly deal with would be dictators. (Of course I also favor the application of one round to the head in the old Soviet style, just to be damned sure.) To the tyrannophiles this is a crime that must be punished.

So don't be surprised if we hear that American troops are being sent to Honduras in order to "restore" democracy.

Today is the sixteenth anniversary of the Waco Massacre.

There is a clear reason I will never vote for a Democrat and will also always hold those who do in utter contempt.

While at work today I started thinking about what it would be like if Battlestar Galactica were done in the style of South Park. Or if South Park were set on a ship of the Colonial refugee fleet. (On the SS South Park, of course.)

Kenny is obviously a Cylon.

Cartman's Mom should be a Cylon too. Which would make things a bit interesting whenever Cartman accuses Kyle of being a Cylon.

Another episode of the Memoirs of Allen Keller is up on MOPU.

I'm working on the inauguration speech of President John March.

I'm thinking of doing The Memoirs of Allen Keller as a full novel like John Ringo's THE LAST CENTURION.

From the Unpublished Memoirs of Allen Keller. Part of the background of my private Traveller universe.

I think this is a reply to something posted by the sysop of the local (now dead) Objectivist BBS.

Chuck, let's get one point clear.

TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, NO LIBERTARIAN, NOT EVEN MURRAY N. ROTHBARD AND HIS TRUE FOLLOWERS, HAS EVER ADVOCATED OR DEFENDED ANY ALLEGED RIGHT TO COMMIT HOMICIDE BY ANY MEANS INCLUDING "POISON" THROUGH THE INITIATION OF FORCE OR FRAUD.

As for the self destructive little twits who die through their own misuse of man made objects such as drugs or firearms:

1. I am not an altruist.

2. Artifacts are not moral agents, firearms and drugs have no impact on anyone except through the definite action of a definite individual. Only the individual using or misusing the object can be held accountable.

3. I am not an altruist.

4. The first step to the correction of an error is the recognition and acceptance of the fact that one has made an error. No mind--no matter how corrupted or depraved--can be forced. "A gun is not an argument."

5. I am not an altruist.

6. There is no comment six.

7. I am not an altruist.

8. The individual is the owner of his own life, he is solely responsible for his own well being and consequences of his own
actions.

9. I am not an altruist.

10. If someone does not want to live, there is nothing you or I can do to stop him. The only right or obligation I have is to protect my life, liberty, and property from being violated by the suicidal person. (A task I can and would delegate to a real government.)

11. I am not an altruist.

12. Caveat Emptor.

13. I am not an altruist.

     "American politicians denounce foreign 'drug lords' for exporting certain mind altering substances to the United States. However, these substances--for example, cocaine or heroin--are correctly identified for what they are: Americans who want to buy them know what they are getting; no one is forced to expose himself unknowing or against his will to the potentially harmful effects of these substances. In short, every American can easily protect himself from the risk of such foreign substances by simply avoiding them."

"The Democrat's platform is nearly the same as the 1933 NSDAP's platform."

I was goinig through some old files where I found this. I actually went to the meeting and turned down an invitation to join the Michigan Militia because I wanted to stay in Minnesota.


3. BRIGADE ASSEMBLY STILL ON COURSE.
  The monthly assembly of the 1st Brigade is still scheduled
for JUNE 11, at 0900hrs, at Pioneer Park in Pellston, Michigan.
The Schedule for the meeting is as follows:
   0900-0905 - Opening Prayer and Pledge (Chaplain Hall)
   0905-0925 - Commander's Remarks (Major Olson)
   0925-0945 - Brigade Chaplain (Chaplain Hall)
   0945-0955 - Break
   0955-1100 - Information/Intelligence Update (Capt Southwell)
   1100-1110 - Break
   1110-1130 - Equipment Briefing (knapsack, etc.) (Major Olson)

                    (Major Olson and Chaplain Hall)
   1135-1300 - Lunch Break/Equipment Sales/Press Conference
   1300- ??  - Militia unit officers meet with squads -
               Unit officers will dismiss their squads.
  The Commander and Staff Officers will be available to answer
  questions and assist those interested in beginning their
  own militia units.

COMMENTS:  People are traveling to Northern Michigan from
hundreds of miles out.  You are all to be commended for your
interest and your awareness of the urgency of starting your
own militia units.    I would ask that all visitors remember that
this is a monthly assembly for the 1st Brigade.  Visitors are considered
as interested in LEARNING and OBSERVING. As kindly as I can,
let me say that we do not have time to listen to how you do
it in your neck of the woods unless your method is effective
and efficient, that is PROVEN and TESTED.  If you want to come
to learn, fine...if you are coming to tell us how to do it,
please stay home and DO IT!! I say this with deep respect for
your feelings and opinions, but talk is cheap and our time
is VERY EXPENSIVE.  Remember how the yanks were taught to fall
on the barbed wire in WWI?  The intent was to make a BRIDGE over
which other soldiers could travel safely...it was not to
have their dive critiqued by the judges.
   Also, we will not permit the assembly to turn into a public
gripe session with everyone telling how the government has
hassled them. That's a given.  If you want to pick scabs off
old wounds, the 1st Brigade is NOT THE PLACE TO DO IT.  
We preform our therapy by turning fear into righteous
indignation, not by stirring old pots of vengence.  
We are FORWARD LOOKING. We have no time to undo old messes
or avenge old grievances...  This is precisely where the
French Revolution went sour.  In the end, let history record
that we LIBERATED America for All Americans that we may return
to the Constitutional Republic she was meant to be. We would rather
invite the THEYS and THEMS to join our march to liberty than to
become tyrants like they are.  

NOTE: Observe all Michigan laws for transporting weapons, you
can expect to be stopped by DNR or State Police. As a general
rule, keep all weapons in cases, all magazines and ammo in locked
containers (vans & RVs) or in the trunk. Standard issue
military small arms may be carried to this meeting. Weapons
check will be accomplished at the Entry Point.  Rifles will
NOT be loaded. Bolts WILL be locked back.  MPs will be wearing
armbands. Obey them.  Personal sidearms should not be brought to
this assembly.

  All comers are advised to keep watch on others. An accident
deliberately caused by infiltrators is likely.  All comers are
urged to bring cameras and VCRs...not to identify militia, but
to have a record of everyone in the crowd should BATF or the
State Police do something foolish.

  For further information call the Commander at
  [phone number redacted]

END SITREP

Norman E. Olson, Major
Commander, 1st Brigade
Northern Michigan Regional Militia

I just reposted on THE NEW RESISTER an article about the Waco Massacre that was originally published on the Libernet Mailing List in 1993.

I've just started a new blog called THE NEW RESISTER.

I will no longer do business with Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore in Minneapolis.

I picked up the latest issue of the bookstore's newsletter at my P.O. box. After announcing that they were having a sale on used books someone inserted this charming paragraph:

We hope you can get here the first weekend, before the RNC begins, but who knows about the period while the RNC is in town. We suggest that you stop thinking of the RNC as the Republican National Convention and instead think of it as the Republican National Circus, with one team of clowns performing inside the convention center and a different team of clowns performing on the streets outside the convention center.

They have a right to their own opinion, regardless of how utterly distorted it is.

They do not have a right to my custom.

I've been doing business with them for three decades. Never again will I step into that store.

I would suggest a long term metaphysical destination for them but I have no reason to believe in the existence of Hell.
