Pre-Christmas Snow in West Shokan

 

I shared a few pictures of my home in West Shokan, New York with some friends.We had a pre-Christmas snow last night, but the melt started almost immediately, causing an upsurge in the stream, a dense fog, and flooding in nearby Woodstock, NY.  May the criminals in Washington and Albany remain far away from our home, and God bless you this holiday season.

Dear Mr. Mone:

Thank you for your fundraising letter of December 4.  I think highly of much of what the Manhattan Institute has done.  Examples are Brian Anderson's book on political theory, which I reviewed for the Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, and Theodore Dalrymple's essays.  Since 2008, when I last contributed to the Manhattan Institute, I have concluded that the United States is in worse shape than I had thought.  The days of a republican United States will not return, nor will the American tendency toward an oligarchic, dictatorial system reverse.

I hold the Manhattan Institute's perspective partially responsible for America's decline into oligarchy.  American conservatism is rooted in Republican federalism whereby the federal government exercises hegemony over the states, monetary policy, constitutional interpretation, and economic regulation.  From the nation's beginning, Hamilton urged an increasing degree of centralization and federal power; your organization's approach is in the Hamiltonian conservative tradition. 

Oligarchy, centralization, and increased government authority result from the interaction of the brokerage of special interests and Federal Reserve Bank counterfeit:

Brokerage of Special Interests x Federal Reserve Counterfeit = Oligrachy, Tyranny

We are past the point where the size and power of the federal government can be explained as a natural outgrowth of federalism, technology, or economies of scale.  Rather, we live in an oligarchy of financial interests cartelized through the Federal Reserve Bank.  The Hamiltonian vision that you advocate depends on criminality:  the banking system's stealing from the public.  The eventual result has been (not will be) the dissolution of the American republic into an authoritarian, criminal organization. The dissolution has already occurred; the government of the United States is an irretrievable abomination--a pig state.  Please take my name off your mailing list.

Sincerely,

Mitchell Langbert, Ph.D.   

King Barack Murders Children, Moves to Take Away Your Right to Defend Yourself from His Majesty

King Barack sheds a tear for the children murdered in Connecticut, but he sheds no tears for the 168 children he and his colleague George Bush have murdered in Pakistan (h/t Mike Marnell).  In Vietnam Lyndon Baynes Johnson and the United States government murdered several hundred thousand Vietnamese children.  Now,  cheered on by America's backward media, Washington's serial killers aim to ruthlessly capitalize on a tragedy to  illegally prevent you from defending yourself from them.

 From The Telegraph:


In an extensive analysis of open-source documents, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism found that 2,292 people had been killed by US missiles, including as many as 775 civilians.

The strikes, which began under President George W Bush but have since accelerated during the presidency of Barack Obama, are hated in Pakistan, where families live in fear of the bright specks that appear to hover in the sky overhead.

In just a single attack on a madrassah in 2006 up to 69 children lost their lives.

Chris Woods, who led the research, said the detailed database of deaths would send shockwaves through Pakistan, where political and military leaders repeatedly denounce the strikes in public, while privately allowing the US to continue.

"This is a military campaign run by a secret service which raised problems of accountability, transparency and you have a situation where neither the Pakistanis nor Americans are clear about any agreements in place and where the reporting is difficult," he said.

Ubi Libertas, Ibi Patria (Where Liberty Is, There Is My Country)

Choosing to live in the United States because it once had a Constitution and was once the home of Jefferson makes as much sense as choosing to live in Athens because it was once the home of Aristotle or choosing to live in Great Britain because Scotland was once the home of Adam Smith.
