Native Hawaiians to Feds: Give Us Back Our Kingdom

Posted on by

“Hundreds showed up to testify at the fifteen public hearings held on the islands of Oahu, Lanai, Molokai, Kauai, Hawaii, and Maui.  Residents delivered passionate accounts of Hawaiian history, U.S. militarism, cultural and environmental degradation, land disputes, and a steady stream of ‘no’s’ to the five questions asked by the Department of Interior.  The 1993 Apology Resolution publicly acknowledged and apologized for the United States’ involvement in the illegal overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani and the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893, admitting that the United States violated Native Hawaiians’ right to self-determination and international law.”

Gerald Celente on Marijuana Legalization and OccupyPeace

Posted on by

“We’re initiating a project called OccupyPeace.us. And it’s based on three words: No foreign entanglements. Those are the three words spoken by the Founding Fathers of this country. We want to rebuild America and the way we want to do it is we’re working to build an OccupyPeace movement based on no foreign entanglements and we’re working to push the United States more in line with a direct democracy like Switzerland. You want to go to war? Let the people vote. You want a defense budget? Let the people vote on it. You want to bail out the banks? Let the people vote. If we can bank online we can vote online. It could be more open than any other system in the world.”

The Suicide of Communism: The Case for Patience

Posted on by

portallogo3

“Through its satellite nations, it extended into Western Europe. It had been in operation for over 70 years. It had the most extensive system of control over thought and activities of any large society in the history of man. Yet, in one week, without any bloodshed, the leaders of the USSR simply abandoned it. Nothing like this had ever happened before.  Those of us who lived through it could barely appreciate the magnitude of it. That is because it was bloodless. There was almost no warning. The West had been involved in a great competition between the two systems from 1946 until 1991. Then, without warning, that competition ended. It caught Russians by surprise. It caught Westerners by surprise.”

Withdrawing Political Legitimacy

Posted on by

“The World Wide Web is the greatest idea-smuggling network in history. The question is: Which smuggling operations will put the Web to its most productive uses?  My statement of faith is this: not the state.  Smuggling can lead to secession. It can lead to a withdrawal of faith and hope in the messianic state. It can lead to institutional alternatives to the messianic state.  Example: online education as a substitute for tax-funded education. This is technically possible today. At some point, community by community, there will be a tipping point.  The mark of this tipping point will be this: the inability of local governments to get bond issues passed, despite the threatened loss of federal matching funds.”

Twitter bot alerts for anonymous Wikipedia edits from Capitol Hill

Posted on by

“Ed Summers, an open source Web developer, recently saw a friend tweet about Parliament WikiEdits, a UK Twitter ‘bot’ that watched for anonymous Wikipedia edits coming from within the British Parliament’s internal networks. Summers was immediately inspired to do the same thing for the US Congress.  ‘The simplicity of combining Wikipedia and Twitter in this way immediately struck me as a potentially useful transparency tool,’ Summers wrote in his personal blog.  The stream for the bot, @congressedits, went live a day later, and it now provides real-time tweets when anonymous edits of Wikipedia pages are made.”

Ron Paul on the Evolution of Freedom in the 21st Century

Posted on by

Ron Paul

“Fewer people depend on regular TV and you see more programs being deleted from TV. So the Internet is the wave of the future and that’s one of the reasons the freedom movement is growing, because it’s not dependent on the establishment. When I got interested in these ideas in the ’50s and ’60s it was very, very difficult to get any information but today it’s so easy and it spreads like a wildfire.  It is worldwide. I’ve said it so many times – this is not a Republican deal. If the ideas are correct they will be pervasive.  Interventionist foreign policy and Keynesian economics was endorsed by the Republicans and Democrats; they just argued over who got to be the managers.”

A Libertarian Testing Ground For Bitcoin, 3D Printers, and Drones

Posted on by

“I discovered that this isolated group has fully adopted Bitcoin, and that it’s extremely enthusiastic about other ‘freedom-enhancing’ technologies such as 3D-printers and encryption. Everyone I met in the Project owned Bitcoin and was willing to accept it for goods and services. Of the couple thousand people living there, at least seven own 3D-printers. Though the idea originally was to get a critical mass to influence the political process, many in the movement now feel that the freedoms they want may be better realized through technology that routes around the government rather than engaging it directly.”

The Peer-to-Peer Economy: Death Blow to the State

Posted on by

“The most radical application of this idea concerns money and finance. After one-hundred years of government production of currency, and government sponsorship of banking institutions, P2P networks are now providing payments systems, loan markets, and even currency units such as Bitcoin. The implications of this are of course remarkable to consider. It’s one thing to dispense with the need for film processing; its something else entirely to toss away central banks, regulated stock markets, and departments of treasury. These are the heart and soul of political power itself.”

Niall Ferguson: Networks and Hierarchies

Posted on by

“The near-autarkic, commanding and controlling states that emerged from the Depression, World War II, and the early Cold War exist only as pale shadows of their former selves. Today, the combination of technological innovation and international economic integration has created entirely new forms of organization—vast, privately owned networks—that were scarcely dreamt of by Keynes and Kennan. Are these new networks really emancipating us from the tyranny of the hierarchical empire-states? Or will the hierarchies ultimately take over the networks as they did a century ago, in 1914, successfully subordinating them to the priorities of the national security state?”
