THIS BLOG IS ROOTED IN LIBERTARIAN POPULIST NATIONALISM AS DIRECTED BY NATURAL AND SPIRITUAL LAW. THEREFORE, THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND ALL COMMENTARY ON CURRENT EVENTS IS A BELIEF IN REVOLUTIONARY SPIRITUAL CHANGE. FOR CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THE RELEVANT INSTITUTIONS OF SOCIETY ARE INTRACTABLE FOR A PROTRACTED PERIOD OF TIME TO ALTERING LIFE NEGATIVE CONDITIONS, PEACEFUL CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, AS ADVOCATED BY GHANDI AND DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., IS RECOMMENDED. WHERE THERE IS ANY REAL ALTERNATIVE TO THE USE OF MILITARY FORCE, “SOUL FORCE” IS ALWAYS PREFERABLE. INDEED, USE OF FORCE IS USUALLY COUNTERPRODUCTIVE. THAT SAID, THE RIGHT TO REVOLUTION IS AT THE CORE OF AMERICAN JURISPRUDENCE RECOGNIZED BY THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE BASED ON NATURAL LAW. WE DO NOT DERIVE OUR FUNDAMENTAL NATURAL RIGHTS FROM GOVERNMENTS AND STATES. WE ARE BORN WITH THESE RIGHTS AS GIFTS FROM OUR CREATOR. OUR GOVERNMENT DOES NOT “GIVE” US OUR RIGHTS AS SET OUT IN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION. THE CONSTITUTION DERIVED FROM THE PEOPLE AS A METHOD OF PROTECTING GOD-GIVEN NATURAL RIGHTS. IT WAS NOT CREATED BY AN ECONOMIC, TECHNOCRATIC, OR ANY OTHER ELITE SOCIO-ECONOMIC FORMATION. THE CONSTITUTION RECOGNIZES OUR INHERENT NATURAL RIGHTS BY CONFIRMING THEM UNDER POSITIVE LAW. REGARDLESS, OUR FUNDAMENTAL NATURAL RIGHTS EXIST APART FROM POSITIVE LAW. THE GOVERNMENT OR STATE CANNOT TAKE THEM AWAY NO MATTER WHAT PRETEXT IS USED. IT CANNOT TAKE THEM AWAY BY DECLARATIONS OF PANDEMICS OR SUDDEN “EMERGENCIES.” WE HAVE A RIGHT TO THE SANCTITY OF OUR BODY, TO BE FREE FROM UNREASONABLE SEARCHS AND SEIZURES, TO WORK, THINK FREELY AND EXPRESS OURSELVES FREELY, TO MOVE AND TRAVEL ABOUT WITHIN STATES AND BETWEEN STATES, DUE PROCESS, ETC. THE CENTRAL ROLE OF ALL GOVERNMENT IS TO PROTECT THE CORE FUNCTIONS OF LOVE, WORK, AND KNOWLEDGE. – DR. STEVEN KATZ
