I've recently gotten into tabletop RPG's recently and while searching for a livejournal roleplaying community in RI, I found several communities that might be promising, but I found many more that were simply bizzarre and were neither about RPG's nor Rhode Island. One was a livejournal community that combined their love of 40K with their love of hating other races. I didn't know people could do that, be like, "You know what would make my hobby even better, biggotry!". But they come in second place to a community simply labeled Baseball Slash. Needless to say, I did not make the mistake of clicking on it. The Internet can be a very frightening place.

I have an idea for a game or movie that was inspired by a dream, it was the most cliche and trope filled dream I've ever had, it was like my subconscious was parodying action movies in the form of a dead pan satire. In the game, you play as a passenger on a plane, a new state-of-the-art mega jumbo jet with multiple levels and such. It is taken over by terrorists, hollywood-approved western terrorists with no clear goal, because there is no such thing as islamic terrorism. Anyway, initially you are defeated by the head terrorist whose kung fu is superior than yours, but then you find the Phone Book. With it you are able to clear the plane of terrorists, beating the shit out of them with the Phone Book, working your way up to the big bad. The big bad is the leader of the terrorists who follow him without question despite his being a complete asshole that randomly murders them all the time, complete with three lieutenants: the sexy woman lieutenant who for some reason had short-cropped hair dyed white(I don't know why, she looked like a mixture of the female lead of beserk and Ivy from Soul Calibur) and wore a bright red lipstick, Michael Clarke Duncan with a jamaican accent for some reason, and some guy whose function was similar to that of Kommando from Bloodrayne(the enjoyable game not the eye-clawing movie) except without a mask. It would be the greatest action movie or vidya game ever. I've already envisioned what the book is, a huge book frayed at the edges from fire and knives, the words: Excalibur Phone Company, printed on the cover. One could either hold the phone book directly and smack the daylights out of people with it, or swing it by part of the chain that used to hold it to the phone booth it was original from. I am going to write the screenplay for this thing, or write a manga for it.

I just came up with an even better synopsis for it:

So here is my idea for an action movie I got from a dream: a new mega jumbo jet, with multiple stories, basically a flying building, is on it's maiden voyage. When it is hijacked by hollywood terrorists(western terrorists with no clear goal beyond causing chaos), the hero, a passenger on the flight, attempts to fight the head terrorist in unarmed combat, but the head terrorist's kung fu is superior. All seems lost, until our hero discovers the Phone Book with which he works his way up to the big bad, whooping terrorist ass with a phone book along the way. It has everything brown-haired everyman protagonist, non-threateningly hot female lead, the asshole head terrorist who randomly kills people, his sexy eastern luitenant, his giant black guy liutenant, and his exotic fighting style luitenant.

*Liberal- One who accepts Barack Obama as their lord and savior

*Anglican- (see agnostic)

"Many of us call ourselves 'liberals,' And it is true that the word 'liberal' once described persons who respected the individual and feared the use of mass compulsions. But the leftists have now corrupted that once-proud term to identify themselves and their program of more government ownership of property and more controls over persons. As a result, those of us who believe in freedom must explain that when we call ourselves liberals, we mean liberals in the uncorrupted classical sense. At best, this is awkward, subject to misunderstanding. Here is a suggestion: Let those of us who love liberty trademark and reserve for our own use the good and honorable word 'libertarian.'" -Dean Russell, 1955

So it came to pass that several very different ideologies had the exact same idea at the exact same time, and so the Libertarian movement was formed. And now you know why I associate with crazies.

I recently got Hearts of Iron II and it is a great game. Hearts of Iron II is a grand strategy game from the good people at Paradox Interactive set in the WWII era. You play as any nation from 1936 to 1947, and it is amazing. Naturally, I played as the heinous, the tyrannical, the vile Costa Rica. Alot of amazing things happened, and I had no part of it.
            I started out in January 1936, I immediately set about building infrastructure, a factory, and a mountain infantry battalion. My plan was to begin a costa rican empire and to conquer my neighbors while they were still weak. I did not have the Industrial Capacity to do all of that so I cancelled the factory (it had a completion time of 3 months but the date went up 1 day with each passing day). I was intent on expanding my army and upgrading their weapons. I opened the diplomacy channel to begin negotiations for trade agreements with my neighbors, they would sell me the resources that would seal their fate. However, I soon noticed that the US had guaranteed independence of all the South and Central American states. Guaranteed for me, meant "I will eat you if you screw with me, Costa Rica." I soon gave up my imperial ambitions on account of that, and I was having recruiting troubles.
             So I resigned myself to my newfound humble role and spent the rest of the game trying to keep my economy afloat in the hopes that I may one day build a new factory. The US had the run of America's, except for Canada, who had a much more intimidating flag than they do now. An american warship or a flying fortress passed by every now and then, which brought interest to an otherwise uneventful part of the world. I was one country away from the Panama Canal Zone, which was a territory of the US as it should be. My neighbors, like me, had a single division with them. The divisions all had a friendly demeanor but sort of eyed each other in a way that said, "Why hello there, nope, you stay over on your side."
              I formed an intricate trading network with many partners from around the world, including one landlocked chinese faction, whom I not sure how the supplies moved back and forth. But for the most part, I traded with my immediate neighbors, Republican Spain, Finland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and I think, Oman. The Brazilians were total assholes to me, though. Needless to say, they were radical leftists. During the Spanish Civil War, I traded with both the Republicans and Nationalists, but they cancelled their deal with me when they found out I was playing both sides, in that sort of huff and puff when two women find out their man has been going out with the both of them. I eventually won back Republican Spain's trust and they, along with the Swiss, became my largest trading partners.
             Couple of interesting things happened in this gaming instance(to be continued)

               Indy: Ah, I see. Then came the Paulbots, mighty, all-knowing, half-baked college students completely devoid of all reason. These basement dwelling ubermenschen, through sheer deductive brilliance and a total ignorance of physics, were able to figure out that the Moonlanding, the Pearl Harbor Attack, any and all contact with the outside world, all staged. Neocons became any and all things depending on who you asked. To the paleocon, we were godless, free-trade loving globalists. To the LP, we were gold standard-scorning socialists who were for “managed trade” instead of free trade. To the neorockefellers, we were reaganite radicals with the hawkish libertarianism of Goldwater and were not Democrat enough for them. We integrated all insane beliefs no matter how contradictory. It was great, they were calling us "Strassians" or "Straussians" or something, we had no idea what the fuck that was, but we integrated that too.

                Sun: Would you explain to the readers how we can be completely different things at once.

                Indy: It just is! Everything was ready. We were working on a Weather Generator and Mind Control Node. We even had the perfect flag design.

    pictured: This Is What Lou Dobbes Actually Believes

Sun: And then the Recession hit.

Indy: Damn straight it did. Now people had real problems to worry about. It could have still worked, but a dispute erupted between the head bandito of Mexico, Dirty Sanchez I, and King Kanoot the Socialized, Ruler of the Great White North. It was a trivial matter over the necessity of badges for the new regime, but it was breaking point. Much of our funding existed in the form of loans resting on the viability of beaver fights which would be the national sport of the new country.

Sun: But there is good news.

Indy: While the North American Union conspiracy may have been delayed, it isn’t dead. We’ve set upon a cooperative fluoridization project of all North American Waters. Every white anglo-saxon protestant in America and the rest will have all their precious bodily fluids sapped and impurified by 2018. And I must now harsh the mellow of a random paulbot because he knows the truth.

Sun: May you feast upon the flesh of NPR speakers, and wipe your ass with the traditional garb of some endangered tribal culture. (shakes hand)

 Here’s to sapping the In February we will be merging with the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy is the leading force of darkness in the NWO conspiracy. The MAN will join other cabals like the Illuminati, the Pan-Corporate Cabal that secretly decides who wins the elections, the sixth through forty-fifth Reichs, the Grey-Reptillian-Insectoid Alliance, the Church and it’s army of Jesuit albino giant killer monks, the DoReMiFaSo, and so much more.

And Here's a sneak peak at things to come:

    

 

*the Christian kind, not the Islamic kind that is chic right now.
**authoritarian defined as any regime that prohibits the carrying of explosives greater than six kilos on one's person.
***but somehow still theocratic
****racist codewords include:
            -State's Rights
            -Merry Christmas
            -Socialism
            -2nd Ammendment

*(5) Aids being the disease Ronald Reagan created when America dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on December 7, 1941 according to Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
*(6) all prosperity and expansion being at the expense of the poor, indiginous peoples, and Mother Earth.
*(7) The Recession(The Left had been falsely claiming predicting recognizing feeling there was a recession since Bush took off in order to start a panic. It wasn't until the Democrats regained control of Congress that their prophesies were vindicated by starting a real one.) being a result of the past eight years of our unregulated, laissez faire capitalism, and a sign that capitalism is coming to an end for the 128th time.
*(8) Oddly enough, the black nationalist groups were always to be found in the universities and inner cities. You'd think a militant black nationalist organization would go for a trip through the country every weekend looking for klan rallies to crash. I mean it wouldn't be hard to find them, they're dressed like ghosts and set fire to giant crosses wherever they meet up.

                    As a staunch Goldwaterist-Reaganite and Archconservative, I, and every other rightist, inherently belong to the globally-coordinated master plan to establish a neocon, fascist, counter-revolutionary, reactionary, neoliberal, racist, homophobic, sexist, islamophobic, globalist, imperialist, theocratic*, neo-nazi, zionist, internationalist, hypernationalist, consumerist, puritanical, christian fundamentalist, satanist, reptilian, masonic, materialist, authoritarian**, transhumanist, chauvinist, jingoist, male chauvinist, Rovian, redneck, nixonian, theist, ignorant, intolerant, hate-filled, bitter, bigoted, monopolist, conformist, LAISEZZE FAIRE, UNREGULATED CAPITALIST, interventionist, New Secular*** World Order. So I've decided to give you all an inside look at how the Recession has affected our worldwide plot to create a corporate police state.
                          First off, let me say: yes, the coup will involve mechs. No, we don't instantly recognize eachother on sight. We won't be able to do that until we all have the barcodes implanted in us. Until then, we will continue to use the secret handshake and racist codewords**** to harry the revolutionary and progressive forces like we always have. Yes, we do have decoder rings, how else would we decipher the masonic runes painted with the blood of AIDS-infected*(5) Pandas who were forcefed gm products and mcdonalds.


pictured: imperialist wars of aggression and scaring children. good times. Right now that kid is thinking, "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer."

                         Let me explain how things work. You see, there is a market for conspiracies. The world follows a narrative set in the mind of the conspiracy theorist harbinger of social justice, and in order for that narrative to work, they need us to play some childish conception of a strawman. The only alternative would be to come to terms with reality, and no one wants to see critical thinking and logic come into play. So, the conspiracist dreams up paranoid fantasies, and we validate them. The fear projected onto us then translates into pure profit.
                         The Bushco./Halliburton days of 01-07, were great days for the NWO. Conspiracies were popping up everywhere. The Proletarian Revolution was being sabotaged to bejebus and back, secret gnostic texts that could destroy Christianity were being suppressed, and we were squandering the world's, especially Europe's, sympathy through interventionist, illegal, oil wars based on lies. I laughed so hard from kicking dickensian-style poor people lying helpless in the gutter, my monocle popped out. Many supervillainous cabals spawned from the shadow government and thrived in this environment.*(6) But many of these brave new cabals fell on hard times once the Recession*(7) hit.


pictured: (top) 2002 Republican National Convention (bottom) 2004 Republican National Convention. Good Times. A lot less cement bags being tossed from overpasses by anarchists trying to target the buses carrying our delegates, too. Not like 08. 

                         One such cabal was the M.A.N, the Multiple Agressive Neocons. I've got Bob with me from the MAN, and he's going to tell us what happened. How are you doing, bob?
                         Bob: Great, thanks for having me.
                         Sun: Now Bob, can we get a better name. Something that forces the rebel to project various demonizations against you so that they don't have to accept responsibility for the mistakes they've made or improve themselves in any way. How about something like Republican Base.
                         Bob: I think you have me mistaken for my brother. My name is Industrious Middle Class, but please, call me Indy.
                         Sun: Your brother's Republican Base? That guy is a riot, always bitter, and clinging to guns and religion.
                         Indy: That's what the media stigmatizes them as. (cue laughter)
                         Sun: How are your parents, the Jews and CIA, doing?
                         Indy: The objects of irrational fear and hatred from Idaho to Pakistan, as always. But they call the Jews, zionists now.
                         Sun: In public. (cue laughter) So tell me the history of the MAN.

Indy: Well the MAN began with the merger of That Damn Yuppie and My Boss Is An A-Hole. Now there was a lot of racism in those days, but the white racist market was cornered by the Association of Blacks, Jews, Catholics, And All Groups Slightly Different From Us As Proxies of Hatred for My Abusive Drunken Father Unlimited. But the African-American racist organizations*(8) like the Nation of Islam and the Black Panthers needed a way of reducing an entire race of people into a single, monolithic, soulless, faceless entity that they could blame everything on. Besides the black nationalist groups, the Democrats needed some rationalization for the failure of the Great Society, and the New Left found it much easier to hate an ambiguous representation of their fathers than something as bland as "the establishment." Thus the MAN was born. Sure we had lots of competition such as White Devil, Korean Grocery Store Owners, and the ever popular, Jews. All these cabals are not to be confused with LAPD, which is a real organization that actually does spend it’s time brutalizing, killing, and framing innocent black men. But as the 2000's got around we noticed that racism wasn't such a big deal anymore.

Sun: When did the MAN begin retooling?

                Indy: Starting in the late eighties, early nineties, we witnessed such things such as Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, john birchers in the grips of yellow terror, thinking we were going to be swallowed up by Japanese zaibatsu, the Constitutional Party, and the s**tstorm over NAFTA, and realized that there was an untapped gold mine of crazy on the right.

                Free Masons and Bilderburgers and other secret societies have always been an integral part of the NWO conspiracy. We decided to expand on that by starting the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations. We knew from NAFTA that they hated foreigners and economic integration. So we created the Project for a New American Century, The Independent Task Force For North America, the Security and Prosperity Partnership In North America, and the man who sells oranges by the border checkpoint. We had no idea what they were getting at, so we threw these organizations and declarations out there and watched World Net Daily and Zeitgeist for what they came up with. Out of the magical depths of their asses, they pulled three things: A superhighway, claims that NAFTA would evolve into some EU-like thing, and the “Amero” which would not only be currency handled by foreigners, but it was “floating” currency which got hooked in the LP and Rockwell crowds. We had a conspiracy, the NORTH AMERICAN UNION. The North American Union was a “socialist mega-state” where we would be forced into piñata factories, have to put mayo on everything, American women would be gang-raped by Mexicans and Canadians as part of experiments to create half-human hybrids. The Constitution would be rewritten in French, smothered in mayo, ripped apart and devoured before being s*** out and the waste matter used to make those rancid South American candies. Finally the Statue of Liberty would be melted down into hockey sticks.

                We were in business, we renewed NAFTA and rumors of mutual social security plans and superhighways were leaked. Since this coincided with the War on Terror, it gave the added strength of something more sinister. After all, what business have we outside of America, nothing exists outside America. Don’t believe me, ask any palecon or LP’er. A fourth of America was retarded enough to have figured out that we staged 9/11. We are still searching for the leak.

                Sun: Cheney had found the leak and silenced him in a hunting accident. I was the one who cleverly replaced the body with a quail bearing his exact facsimile and mannerisms via cosmetic surgery and hypnosis. Continue.

 

This is now my favorite short story:

*Bipartisanism- When the two parties stop screwing each other and start screwing America.

*Politics- The application of guns.

*Social Welfare- A system whereby the citizens give the government their dollar, so that they may receive a penny's worth of services.

The problem with the libertarian movement are the libertarians, if it weren't for them it would be a complete success.

Remember how a while back, I suggested restarting the Sons of Liberty in the form of cadres, that would serve as ideological social clubs for promoting libertarian principles this country was founded on, and if the need ever arose, militias. Well now that Stalin 2: Electric Bugaloo has declared his intention to create his own SS, I'd like to reassert my proposal. You also might want to google, "Everything a kommando needs to know". It might also be titled, "everything a /k/ommando needs to know". Now, I'm not proposing we do anything illegal, I'm just saying we need to be prepared.

Well after my long hiatus from LJ, I am back from saving the Intertubes. Expect some essays on various things from political affairs to analyzing fan fiction, and even a new, larger, comprehensive reading list, as well as the usual business:

I recently purchased a copy of Barry Goldwater's "The Conscience of A Conservative." An excellent book and every patriotic american should read it, however, there was something I really didn't care for. The editor, for some bizarre reason, chose to have Robert Kennedy jr. give the afterword. For those of you unaware, RKjr is a lunatic. His afterward, while sparing Goldwater because his father thought well of him, is an unhinged and juvenile, longcat-long rant against the neoconservative and libertarian movements, in particular, targeting the right and honorable Heritage Foundation, claiming they are part of a fascist conspiracy to install an american theocracy. Having RKjr give the afterward to CoaC is like having Hal Turner give the afterward to To Kill A Mockingbird or Reinhard Heydrich the afterward to Tuesdays With Morrie, you just don't do it. I have half an inclination to cross out everything the crackerjack wrote from the book.

Greetings my brothers and sisters in the crusade for liberty. As some of you may noticed, Ron Paul has generated a lot of enthusiasm for the libertarian movement leading to an influx of new people joining the patriotic ranks of us, sons of Liberty. Unfortunately, a lot of these people are neophytes and know nothing about our righteous political philosophy. So in an effort to enlighten our newer brethren, I have compiled a reading list of libertarian materials. This list encompasses all ideologies falling under the libertarian banner and spans the history of libertarian political theory. Of course, this being my first attempt at compiling such a list, any suggestions to fill in the gaps would be greatly appreciated:

The Constitution of Liberty by F. A. Hayek

The Road to Serfdom by F. A. Hayek

Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman

Free to Choose by Milton Friedman

Conscience of a Conservative by Barry Goldwater

*warning: Hoppe is batshit insane. 

**warning: Be very wary of Konkin. His conflation of the Free Market and the Black Market is a lethal fallacy. (I will explain why in the comments section.) I included his manifesto simply because a number of libertarians subscribe to his deleterious ideology known as agorism.


update: for those of you reading this list here, please disregard everything listed in italics. I included them to be fair to the other types of libertarians and represent the entire libertarian community. Everything that is not italicized represents proper Whig Minarchism.

The SCOTUS has upheld the Second Amendment as an individual right and smacked down the DC gun ban. This is a great victory for liberty on the homefront. So stock up on your guns before they change their minds. The war to reclaim our Constitutional rights has not ended, but this is a major victory and I believe that this will be a great millenium for liberty. Until the next battle we can get back to our usual business:

If anyone hasn't noticed, I don't know how to make the dohickeys work right. Anyone know how I can rectify this? Please Help!

As a militant libertarian I am sick and tired of this "libertarianism in one state" meme that has afflicted this nation for too long. Libertarianism is an internationalist philosophy and as such we should be fighting collectivism and advancing the movement at every opportunity. Here is a bullet point list of what we need:
*civic organizations/brigades- We need grass-roots cadres likes the Sons of Liberty of old to spread the freedom philosophy among the people, maintain civic preparedness, and foster a spirit of comraderie among members. Each cell would be marginally independent but all cells would need to keep each other in line to prevent them from degenerating into gangs or indulging in Robespierrish excesses. They would, of course, not be tied to one nation but each cadre would be encouraged to be patriotic to their particular nation. They could also serve as militias if need be. Important: each cadre would need to balance discipline with tolerance of a range of viewpoints (to an extent). The "That's not proper libertarian thought" line is not very endearing.
*highbrow clubs- whereas SoL cadres would be populist in nature (but not in ideology), organizations of a more intellectual variety would be needed to attract the more urbane. These organizations would be think-tanks, groups of community leaders, and clubs that concentrate on philosophies that support and supplement libertarian ideology. These organizations, being more austere, cannot engage in bar room fist fights and paramilitary activities (both domestic and overseas) are out of the question.
*Libertarian International- Some sort of Libintern would be needed to unite all the citizens' brigades, activist groups, high society orgs, philosophical societies, and political parties of libertarian persuasion.
*political league- Some sort of political confederacy/free trade bloc similar to the European Union (except with a constitution). This would be a global organization and not restricted to a particular region. Such an organization would serve to unite libertarian nations and encourage other countries to adopt more libertarian policies (if they want to get in). This commonwealth of free republics could also act as a vehicle for wars of liberation.
*A new Congress of Vienna- The UN needs to be reformed and in a way that will allow us to kill two birds with one stone. If the major powers of the world united to preserve global stability and fight a common foe, the Jihadists. This would go a long way to defeating the forces of Submission and create a popular front between the US, China, and Russia. This way, Russia and the PRC would be too busy concentrating on the islamo-fascist threat to go batshit bonkers over the formation of any commonwealth mentioned above. Still, we would probably need to give them both most favored nation status as well as other trading incentives.
*Additional support for the WTO
*Overhaul the entire education and immigration systems with special concern given to ideology.
*Victory in Iraq- Iraq is the key theater in the war between the forces of Liberty and the forces of Submission.Fortunately, the Surge and the Anbar Awakening have been outstanding successes. Still we will need to remain there in great force for many decades with permanent bases. But if it requires a million-man occupation for a hundred years, it is a cost well worth paying. If we win, aliberal democracy in Iraq would act as a beacon of enlightenment. Such a beachhead would allow us Kaffir Freemen to cure our benighted brothers of the paynim virus.

Some of you reading this may bleat "entangling alliances!" out of context. For the record when the country was first founded we were not in a position and it was not in our interests to screw around with the great powers of Europe. Others might object because it would actually advance the movement and leave them with nothing to be a whiny troll about (Looking at you Ikilled***). America is not a nation in the traditional sense of the term. America is not confined to any ethnicity or geography(but don't think that means we can let our borders and sovereignty be disrespected). America is an idea, an idea of universal liberty, and it was meant to be spread to the far corners of the Earth.

One: I have completed the first draft of my novel: "The Singularity Chronicles: Episode 1." I should have a sneak peek for you all soon.

Two: I am contributing my first article to the Anchor, the RIC college newspaper. It's the article on movie reviews. If you happen to go to RIC, note I will be using my analogue psuedonym, Jack Colby.
