<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes you did read the title correctly.
But then it shouldn't be surprising that there is a moral case to be
made for the thing that has allowed billions of people to escape
crushing poverty and premature death over the past hundred and fifty
years. Perhaps it should be surprising that a moral case has to be
made at all, as we sit in centrally heated houses with electric
lights playing on machines that allow us to access the sum total of
human knowledge. If we get bored of this and want to go outside, we
can travel to basically anywhere in the world inside twenty-four
hours. All of this and more is made possible by burning large amounts
of fossil fuels – and yet who has a good word to say for them?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In his new book - <i>The Moral Case for
Fossil Fuels</i> - Alex Epstein seeks to take back the ethical
argument from those who would restrict their use, pointing out that
the kind of restrictions being proposed to fight anthropogenic
global warming amount to a 'guaranteed early death sentence for
billions'. He makes the case that solar and wind stand no chance of
replacing fossils any time soon and are in some ways more resource
heavy and toxic to the environment. He looks at the recent German
experiment and explains how energy output figures are presented
selectively to make it appear more viable than it really is. Whilst
this is not a book specifically on climate science, Epstein does devote a
substantial section to explaining why he thinks that the science is
more speculative than settled.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An interesting axiom of the book,
Epstein takes human life as his standard of moral value and views
this whole issue through this lens. This is in contrast to the idea
that human non-interference with the natural world should be our
goal. So for Epstein, any impact we maybe having on the climate isn't
necessarily bad, but rather it must be asked how it impacts human
life. So for example to just ask the question 'Are extreme weather
events increasing?' (A point which he disputes), is too narrow.
Rather we must ask 'how safe is the climate for human beings now as
compared to pre-fossil fuel times?' As it turns out the climate is
the safest it's ever been for human beings. Epstein points out that
drought, for example, used to mean starvation, now we can use fossil
fuels to move water around it means the price of strawberry goes up!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'd recommend this book to anyone
concerned by anthropogenic global warming as a presentation of the
other side of the case, as well as a serious discussion on the
morality and implications of restricting fossil fuel use. It's also
frankly nice to read a book that has a positive message about the
future of the world we live in, placing our collective destiny back
in our own hands.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is Phil Crane's presentation,
given to the Isle of Man Interfaith Society, on the three months he
spent working as a human rights observer in Palestine. He reports
directly on what he witnessed regarding the demolition of Palestinian
homes, the destruction of their crops and attempts to steal their
land. When the Israeli State talks about its 'defensive' actions in
the Gaza Strip it would rather we forget about its continued ethnic
cleansing (my words not Phil's) of the West Bank. To me this kind of
eye witness testimony - by someone with no ideological axe to grind –
shows up the lie of the Israeli State seeking peace for what it is.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other night
Channel 4's Jon Snow interviewed Israeli Government spokesman Mark
Regev. The interview went on for nearly nine minutes, but I have to
admit I didn't last beyond three. There's just something so
disgusting about the sight and sound of a grown man justifying the
murder of children on a beach, that I just couldn't stomach it any
longer than that.¹
Neither can I bring myself to watch it again, so I can't quote the
aforementioned spokesman accurately, but essentially his claim was
that this incident was of course an accident and Israeli forces never
knowingly target civilians, certainly not children. How one of the
worlds most advanced militaries managed to miss-identify four
children as Hamas militants with enough certainty to open fire on
them is a question I'm sure we'll be waiting a long time to get an
answer for. But the axiom remains, Israel does not fire upon
children.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
If this is true then it's certainly an improvement on Israel's
historical practices. Beyond being indifferent to the murder of
children, historically it has been a policy Zionists have actively
pursued as a tactic to rid Palestine of those pesky Palestinians.
Let's turn to Israeli historian Ilan Pappe, with a passage from his
book <i>The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. -</i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5cm;">On 9 April 1948, Jewish forces occupied the village of Deir Yassin.
It lay on a hill west of Jerusalem, eight hundred metres above sea
level and close to the Jewish neighbourhood of Givat Shaul. The old
village school serves today as a mental hospital for the western
Jewish neighbourhood that expanded over the destroyed village.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.53cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
As they burst into the village, the Jewish soldiers sprayed the
houses with machine-gun fire, killing many of the inhabitants. The
remaining villagers were then gathered in one place and murdered in
cold blood, their bodies abused while a number of the women were
raped and then killed.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
Fahim Zaydan, who was twelve years old at the time, recalled how he
saw his family murdered in front of his eyes:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
'They took us out one after the other; shot an old man and when one
of his daughters cried, she was shot too. Then they called my brother
Muhammad, and shot him in front us, and when my mother yelled,
bending over him — carrying my little sister Hudra in her hands,
still breastfeeding her — they shot her too.'</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
Zaydan himself was shot, too, while standing in a row of children the
Jewish soldiers had lined up against a wall, which they had then
sprayed with bullets, just for the fun of it', before they left. He
was lucky to survive his wounds.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
Recent research has brought down the accepted number of people
massacred at Deir Yassin from 170 to ninety-three. Of course, apart
from the victims of the massacre itself, dozens of others were killed
in the fighting, and hence were not included in the official list of
victims. However, as the Jewish forces regarded any Palestinian
village as an enemy military base, the distinction between massacring
people and killing them 'in battle' was slight. One only has to be
told that thirty babies were among the slaughtered in Deir Yassin to
understand why the whole `quantitative' exercise — which the
Israelis repeated as recently as April 2002 in the massacre in Jenin
— is insignificant. At the time, the Jewish leadership proudly
announced a high number of victims so as to make Deir Yassin the
epicentre of the catastrophe - a warning to all Palestinians that a
similar fate awaited them if they refused to abandon their homes and
take flight.”</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Call me cynical but I don't believe
anything has really changed, this current assault on Gaza is just the
continuation of Plan Dalet, the Zionist effort to ethnically cleanse
Palestine. Whilst they tell the outside world that every effort is
made to avoid civilian casualties, it's made abundantly clear to the
people of Gaza that this is not the case. Again, as if they want them
to know their real intentions.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
It's a human trait that we tend to impose our own set of inner values
on other people, we tend to assume that others think and feel and
value life the way we do. I know I do, I'm constantly taken in by the
pretences of government spokespeople acting out scenes of compassion.
World events make it abundantly clear that this is not the case,
there are those who place no value on human life and will have no
problem lying to your face to cover this fact. Psychopaths can learn
very well how to imitate emotions they're not actually feeling.
Looking at what they're doing instead of listening to what they're
saying is revealing. Then ask yourself this, could you sit on Channel
4 news and justify the murder of four children playing on a beach?</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To me events in the
Ukraine parallel those in Palestine in the sense that they are
another example of power structures wanting control over land and
resources and human life being inconsequential to this goal.
Ukrainians are being forced to flee the Eastern provinces of their
country and find safety in refugee camps in Russia, to escape the
onslaught of the Ukrainian military. It's apparent that the national
army isn't there to protect its citizens but rather to protect the
central governments control over territory. Truly harrowing scenes in
this RT documentary aired today - </span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">I enjoy the way the ever unbiased BBC refers to the Ukrainian army as 'Security Forces' and the separatists as Rebels. The Russians are bad for supporting the latter (I don't actually dispute this) whilst the West is quite right to prop up the former, a complete reversal of the position in Syria. Ukraine is of course a 'democracy', so that makes all the difference.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Abby Martin interviews Sean Stone as he
raises the question of whether there was something contrived about
the kidnapping of the three Israeli teens that sparked this recent
outbreak of violence. Actually he does more than raise the question,
he directly states that his sources in Israeli intelligence have told
him that this is the case.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">Posting
Abby Martin's latest interview with Miko Peled yesterday reminded me
that I'd meant to post her first one. I read Mr. Peled's book, </span><span style="color: black;"><i>The
General's Son – Journey of an Israeli in Palestine</i></span><span style="color: black;">,
after seeing this, and would recommend it for anyone wanting a
concise overview of the Palestinian Israeli conflict. More than just
being a history book it's the story of a man born into the heart of
the Zionist Israeli establishment. His Grandfather was a signatory on
Israeli's declaration of independence and his farther was a prominent
General who fought in the 1948 and 1967 war. Miko Peled began a
journey into Palestine after his niece was killed by a suicide bomber
in Jerusalem, a journey that led him to become a prominent peace
activist calling for an end to the occupation and a one state
solution to the conflict.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just a round up of some news items that I've found particularly interesting recently.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Internet
regulation is all about protecting children from pornography right?
Apparently not. Actually it's about protecting politicians from
independent media sites who tend report on political paedophilia.
That's the way it seems anyhow. Recently the UK Column has removed
all its videos from youtube rather than be subject to regulation from
ATVOD, a subsidiary of OFCOM. ATVOD claim that they have the right to
regulate any internet content that is perceived to be “television
like”, but is vague in what this actually means. So if you live in
the UK and have a youtube channel potentially you could now be subject
to State regulation. Happy days. This to me really is a huge story,
over the past few years we've had access to a level of information
unimaginable to anyone living only a short time before. This has
allowed us to learn things about the powers that be that there's no
doubt they'd rather we didn't know, and it was only ever going to be a
matter of time before steps were taken to shut it down. It appears to
have begun!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Abby
Martin can always be relied upon to speak for the Palestinian people,
especially when they're being ignored or misrepresented across all mainstream media.
I've just selected this particular video because it's an interview
with peace activist Miko Peled, son of IDF General Matti Peled. Miko
describes this current bombing campaign in Gaza as simply a
continuation of the racist imperialist doctrine upon which the state
of Israel was founded. He also believes that the Israeli government
can end this hellish situation any time through a one state solution
that ends the apartheid regime -</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Interesting
article by Tony Gosling marking the 9<sup>th</sup>
anniversary of the 7/7 bombings and the continued use of 'Muslim
Extremists' to justify the State's security apparatus. For anyone
else who's sceptical of the exact coincidence of bombing drills
taking place at all three tube stations at the exact time the actual
bombs went off -</span></div>

Vigilant Citizen has documented more creepy occult/mind-control
themes popping up in pop music, most recently in an article about
Robin Thicke's latest musical creation, 'Get Her Back'. A song
ostensibly about winning back lost love with a video not ostensibly
about stalking, abuse and death. For some reason it also contains random images of demons - </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We had the film 'The House I Live In'¹
shown on the Isle of Man last night, a harrowing documentary into the
devastating effects of the war on drug users. It also highlights how
a whole economy has grown up around the war, which like slavery is
fed by the human suffering it causes²</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. So yeah, harrowing but highly
recommended.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On
a more positive note journalist Amber Lyon has recently founded
Reset.me, a journalistic organisation reporting on the positive use
of psychedelics in the treatment of such mental health problems as
depression, anxiety, addiction and post traumatic stress disorder.
Ms. Lyon became involved in this after researching and using
psychedelics herself, after she began suffering from PTSD as a result
of the horrific things she wittness during her years as a journalist.
You can read her story, 'How Psychedelics Saved My Life', here -

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I
make a point of always referring to the <i>war
on drugs</i> as the <i>war
on drug users</i>, because
that's what it fundamentally is. The term <i>war
on drugs</i> makes it seem
like it is the drugs themselves that are being targeted, insulating
us from the human victims. But it's not just a war on drug users,
it's also a war on all the people suffering from debilitating
psychological or even physical illnesses who could be helped by these
substances, but instead must continue to suffer and die because of the
State's prohibition. So essentially it's a war on all of us.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;">I'm a big fan of the Learn Liberty series of videos, it's fantastic the way they take on complex economic issues and explain them in a way anyone can understand in just a few minutes. And with cartoons! So here's a few of the ones I've found most interesting recently.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Firstly a topical one on the economic
and human costs of hosting the World Cup. With nineteen thousand
people displaced to make way for this current tournament and a couple
of thousand of Qatar's slave labourers expected to die before they
host it, it kinda puts the controversy over one bloke biting
another's shoulder into perspective.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/Y_Nw7_nevQs/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/Y_Nw7_nevQs&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/Y_Nw7_nevQs&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Make Work Bias – There's allot of material currently pointing to a pessimistic future
where robots are going to take all our jobs. The problem is, this has
already happened – over a hundred years ago that is - with the
invention of the tractor. It (along with other farm industrialisation) laid off half of all agricultural
workers. In this video economist Bryan Caplan why this wasn't a
problem then and won't be now. We can stop worrying about innovation
stealing jobs!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Foreigners Are Our Friends - This is
brilliant (hence why the post is named after it). If we agree that
<i>innovation</i> isn't stealing jobs, then Bryan Caplan has a thought
experiment to demonstrate why <i>immigration</i> can't be either.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And Finally a short video on how law
and order can (and historically has) arisen in society from the
ground up, rather than being imposed from the top down. Using the
Oregon trail as an example economist and cattle rancher P.J. Hill
shows how groups of people would form contracts between each other to
regulate disputes without the need for an overarching government.
This one is worth watching for the Lego alone!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Meditation
is sleep! A bold statement perhaps, no doubt contradicting much of
what is written on the subject. Well now that I've stated the premiss
let me defend it. I intend to claim that meditation is nothing other
than the conscious and wakeful accessing of the place we go when
we're deep asleep.
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is also a kind of follow up
piece to a blog post I wrote a few months ago called 'Meditation and
Sleep'. I'm not sure that title drove the message home hard enough so
the 'and' is out and the 'is' is in. If that makes sense.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I first became interested in the
practise of meditation when I was eighteen. Lots of different reasons
why, I'd just been reclassified as an adult but wasn't sure that I
really felt any different from when I was five years old. What was it
in me that remained the same whilst other things changed?
Materialist reductionism had become less than satisfying as a
philosophy. It was also perhaps a search for sanity in what I
perceived as an increasingly mad world (George W. Bush had just been
elected U.S. President – that was the final straw).</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had no real idea what
meditation was but thought shifting consciousness somehow sounded
interesting. Luckily this was right at the time when internet
shopping had just taken off, so I was able to order a book on the
subject. In spite of my initial lack of knowledge however, I felt I
had an intuitive sense of what meditation was about and that this
book would really just confirm my expectations and explain more of
how to go about it. I felt it would all be something to do with
dropping awareness back into deeper levels of the mind and accessing
the relaxed and intuitive capacity that was to be found there. Well,
when the book arrived, I was surprised to find it made no mention of
such things, rather it explained that meditation was all about
bringing ones attention out of ones head and into the world, then
attempting to hold it there. I got the point, that we're overly
consumed by our rational minds and need to break free of the constant
cognitive chatter, but this just seemed like a rather arduous and
unnatural way of doing it. Having always had a rather unjustifiably
high opinion of my own ideas, I decided my way sounded better so I
would go with that.
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I would sit and drop my
awareness back, attempting to consciously enter the place that nears
the border between wakefulness and sleep. I had some very interesting
experiences of entering a dreamlike state of consciousness, but
always it would end the same, with me falling asleep. I also noted no
lasting benefits to this practice, I didn't feel any more enlightened
for the rest of the day, in just the same way we don't carry the
relaxation of deep sleep into our waking day.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And so after a while I relented
and went with what the book recommended. Standard stuff, I would sit
and bring my awareness to my breath, re-placing it there every time
it fell away. I would do this maybe three times a day for what
started at twenty minutes a time, the rest of the day I would live as
a constant mindfulness exercise attempting to be continuously aware
of my bodily sensations. I had a job in a mail room at that time,
putting letters in envelopes all day, which was perfect for this. I
carried on this practice fairly intensely for about two years.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not saying that I didn't
experience benefits from this, I'm sure I did, but after a while I
didn't feel those benefits were proportionate to the time and focus
I was putting in. Also, I started to question the fundamental logic
of what I was doing. I'm supposed to be accepting of the moment as it
is, and yet really I'm always trying to change this moment into a
better one where I'm more present, awake and conscious. I'm
attempting to realise than my individual sense of self is an
illusion, and yet my individual sense of self is hard at work trying
to achieve this! It all seemed contradictory.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One morning after a poor night's
sleep I was just too tired and decided it was a fruitless endeavour to
try to meditate, so I just lay on my sofa for the allotted time
period and took a nap. A funny thing happened, I went into a state
where I was sort of awake and asleep at the same time. Rather than
being identified with my thoughts I felt identified with the
'blackness' in which they were arising. There was an amazing feeling
of spaciousness and liberation here, freedom from being my thoughts!
But again I would end up falling asleep and I detected few <span style="color: black;">lasting
effects from this practice on the rest of my day, I wasn't more
relaxed or nicer or anything like that.</span></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At this point I could describe my
meditation experience as being as if there were a line running
through the centre of my head, extending out the back at one end and
out between my eyes at the other. I could either sink back or expand
out along this line and this would determine whether I would had a
deep and relaxing but drawn in experience, or a shallow but expansive
one. It really was a case of either/or.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This contradiction resolved for
me when I realised that the answer lay in a juxtaposition of the two
approaches. Moving awareness only outwards (onto the breath or
something like that) is fairly pointless, it might have some limited
benefit for a while but it seems to me that this is cancelled out as
there always has to be a you there to keep doing this task. This
becomes rather problematic if the ultimate purpose of meditation is
to lose the sense of a separate self. Similarly, only sinking ones
awareness back inwards is also futile. It may briefly feel great the
way falling asleep does, but it can't be sustained for long without
<i>actually</i> falling asleep. And even if it could, it's not a
good place to drive a car from or operate heavy machinery or anything
like that. Holding my attention out in the world (again perhaps on
the breath) acts as an anchor that prevents me from falling asleep
when I then allow my awareness to fall backwards into deep
Consciousness.
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto; text-indent: 0.5cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In
fact more than being just possible it was essential to do so for the
following reason. If I take an analogy with lucid dreaming as a
starting point, I experience myself as a character in a dream who
wants to also know his real identity as the dreamer, the one
consciousness in which the dream is arising. The dreamer and the
dream must arise together as a primal duality, you can't have one
without the other, obviously there can be not dream without a dreamer
but equally a dreamer without a dream is just asleep. To put it
another way, consciousness needs something to be conscious of, else
it is unconscious. This was the root of my problem, I would look
within to become conscious of consciousness itself, aware of
awareness. What I failed to recognise was that consciousness itself
is not a 'thing' in the sense that thoughts or material objects are,
rather it's the thing in which these things arise. Therefore, every
time I would attempt to become conscious of consciousness, I would go
unconscious - every time the dreamer became aware only of himself, he
wasn't dreaming any more and therefore ceased to be. The result, I fell
asleep. This is why it is essential that when awareness delves
inwards and seeks to become aware of itself, it also reaches outwards
to remain anchored in the world (on something like the breath) and by
doing so the primal duality remains.</span><span style="text-indent: 0.5cm;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">¹</span></span></div>

</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What
does this look like in practice?</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sit
and anchor yourself in the body by becoming increasingly aware of its
sensations. You may choose to particularly focus on the breath.
Remember this is not the meditation itself, it's merely the set up to
prevent yourself from losing consciousness when you fall backwards
into the sleep state.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Become
increasingly aware of the thoughts as they rise and fall in your
head. Then become increasingly aware of the dark depths that they are
rising and falling within.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now
simply fall backwards into the sleep state, just the same way you do
every night in bed, letting go of the attachment to the outer world.
And now here's the difference to actually falling asleep, as you feel
yourself entering the depths, begin to undulate your awareness
inwards and outwards so as not to lose connection with the material
world and fall asleep all together. You may find the breath helpful
in this regard, to sink into the depths on the out breath, and pull
yourself back out into the world on the in breath.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">A
final note, in my previous post 'Meditation and Sleep'</span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">²</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> I stated that
'Everyone is already an expert at falling asleep and therefore it's a
great starting point to explain meditation.' A lot of people got
back to me and said that they weren't experts at falling asleep and
actually found it very difficult. Fair enough, whilst I didn't write
this with the idea of developing a cure for insomnia in mind, if you
struggle with this, I think it can only help to explore the line
between wakefulness and sleep consciously. What I personally find is
that if I do this practice when I want to go to sleep at night, if at
some point I just 'let go' of the anchor of holding my awareness in
the world, I drop right off. </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Best
of Luck.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We recently had a talk here on the Isle
of Man, given by a member of the Tax
Justice Network.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> In their own words they - '</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>analyse

What follows is not intended as a criticism of them - I entirely agree that the problem they are highlighting is a very real one - but
rather my thoughts on the inherent problems of using taxation as a means of
funding societies essential services.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When
I attended the talk there was a bucket by the door for donations
towards costs. I also bought a glass of lemonade. These are examples
of voluntary interactions, nobody forced me to attend and nobody
forced me to buy the lemonade. I could have stayed at home and drunk
water. These types of voluntary exchanges are the way the majority of economic interactions in our society take place, with both parties
agreeing in advance. There are two groups that are the exception and
don't function this way, criminals and the State. If someone puts a
gun to your head and demands your wallet, this is not a voluntary
interaction, rather it's a demand backed by the threat of violence.
When the State posts you a tax return, it's not politely inquiring
whether you'd like to exchange X percentage of your income for the
services it's offering, it's demanding (albeit politely) you hand it
over or else.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">2</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I
said there were two groups, there's really only one, and that's
criminals, because the State is in truth a criminal organisation
masquerading. (I'm not having a go at anyone who works for government here, merely pointing out that the structures are indistinguishable). If you're ok with this, then you have to be ok with society being built on a bedrock of violent coercion rather than
voluntary cooperation and think that this isn't going to cause
problems somewhere higher up the structure. Personally, I have my doubts.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">The
Tax Justice Network's website points out that taxation pays for things
like schools, roads, hospitals and other such essential services.
They neglect to mention that it is also the major source of funding
for international terrorism. During my lifetime by far the biggest
purveyor of terrorism in the British Isles has been the British
State, I've lived through it engaging in a full blown genocide
against the people of Iraq, bombing Afghanistan, blowing up Tripoli and
supplying such lovely people as General Suharto with the military
equipment he needed to wipe out the inhabitants of East Timor.<span style="font-size: xx-small;">3</span> This
is not a comprehensive list. It's also true the world over with
murder by the State running into the hundreds of millions for the 20</span><span style="color: black;"><sup><span style="font-size: small;">th</span></sup></span><span style="color: black;">

murderous violence it funds.</span></span></div>

<b><span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Problem
3 – Taxation destroys economic calculation</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When
two people agree to exchange something voluntarily we can safely
assume that they both want what the other has more than what they
currently posses, and therefore believe they will profit from the
exchange. This is a process the economist Frederic Bastiat poetically
referred to as 'economic harmonies', interactions that leave both
parties better off. It's not fool proof, we've all made purchases
we've later regretted, but it places the individual as being the best
judge of which exchanges will profit them.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This
is in contrast to a coerced exchange, where a criminal demands your
wallet say. You're obviously not made better off by this encounter.
But let's say the criminal after relieving you of your money, uses
it to buy groceries for you, based on what they believe is best
for you to eat. Maybe they will make 'better' choices than you would,
but how can this be known? Voluntary exchanges are likely to profit
the people making them because they are the ones agreeing to them.
With coerced exchanges there is no such check, and therefore no way
to know whether they benefit the participants or not. So there's no
way to know if people would choose the kind of health and educational
services the State provides if their money was returned to them and
they paid for them directly. For example – lots of people support
the violent persecution of other people who consume certain drugs.
But they support this in the absence of having to directly pay for
it, so they don't have to make a direct economic calculation as to
whether it benefits them or not. If a bill arrived through the
supporters doors each month for their proportion of what this war on
drug users costs, I believe a lot of them would experience a quick
change of heart. De-linking services from their costs leads to people
supporting things that they wouldn't consider worth it if they experienced the costs directly. War being another fine example.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: black;">Problem
4 – Taxation allows the State to monopolise important services </span></b>
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Typically
it's assumed to be a good thing that taxation pays for schools and
hospitals and roads etc.<span style="font-size: xx-small;">5</span> Services that are considered essential. But
it's not as if these things wouldn't exist in the absence of the
State, its hardly likely that without the Department of Central
Educational Planning we'd all be illiterate, or without National Socialist Health Care there'd be no one to set broken bones. People
provide every imaginable service in the absence of the State. What we
need to ask is what type of structure is likely to provide these
services better. The Stateist model is one where a group,
realistically accountable to no one, takes money without the owner's
consent and spends it in the way they best see fit. The voluntary
model is one where anyone can attempt to provide a service, but they
may only acquire funding from people willing to pay them (no
threatening letters in the post) and their customers may withdraw
their support at any time if they perceive a better option is
presented by someone else. It seems obvious to me that the latter model is going to
come closer to providing people with what they desire. You can say
that people don't necessarily desire what's good for them – that
maybe true, but it's only helpful if there exists a group of experts
who do know what's best for everyone in all situations and these same experts can be
placed into a position of power over the rest of us. Think about who
your current politicians are and whether they fit that description.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Would
costs be too high for people to afford such 'essential' services?
There is no set cost for an abstract concept like education, the rise
of the internet has brought the cost down whilst sending the quality
available through the roof. The schooling system is largely about socialising the cost of child care, allowing both parents entering the workforce to pay a mortgage on a property made artificially expensive by land restrictions imposed by the State. (Often to the benefit of large building corporations). As for health care, regulations imposed
by the State coupled with inefficiency drive up the cost to levels even taxation can't cover,
creating waiting lists for operations. (Waiting lists are the hallmark
of the centrally planned economy, but virtually absent in market
economies). Additionally it's not at all true to say that State run health care is free to all at the point of use. It's only
free to those born within certain arbitrary geographic boundaries
called national borders. The fences separating one tax farm from
another. Whereas a market will serve anyone who can afford it and
bring costs down for those who can't (there is also the role of
charity), a State run health service will push costs up and
leave people to suffer and die for being born on the wrong side of a
line.</span></div>

5 - Taxation </b></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>creates</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>
inequality – the bad kind</b></span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A
point made by the Tax Justice Network which I entirely agree with is
that large companies acquire an unfair advantage on the market by
avoiding paying the taxes that small companies are subjected to. I
totally agree with this and I've blogged before about Amazon's rise
to power being aided by tax advantages and government subsidies.<span style="font-size: xx-small;">6</span> The
Tax Justice Network seek a solution to this in attempting to close
these loop holes that allow big companies to avoid tax. This may
indeed solve the huge problem of unfair competitive advantage, but
I'll refer you back to Problem 2, it would also mean more money going
to terrorist organisations. However bad Amazon's working practices
are, they haven't yet committed a genocide in Iraq. We might not like
one size fits all Starbucks using their tax advantage against
independent cafés, but in fairness, it wasn't Starbucks who blew up
Tripoli. The crimes of corporations pale into insignificance when compared to the crimes of the State. (I appreciate at some point it
may become hard to discern a difference between corporation and
State).</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What
do I mean by the bad kind of inequality? I'm making the distinction
between inequality that arises due to voluntary transactions and
inequality that arises due to coercive ones. If Jack produces a new
kind of widget that everyone wants then lots of money will flow his
way. It's probably a good thing too as Jack has demonstrated that he
can produce things people want and now has capital with which to do
more. If Diane produces a gizmo that nobody wants then she won't earn
much money from it. Again a good thing as she has not shown she can
produce things people want and therefore isn't currently a good person to
manage capital. This is inequality arising from voluntary
transactions. If Diane gets a government grant to keep producing
gizmos however, now inequality is arising out of coercive
non-voluntary means and Diane has more capital to produce a service
no one asked for. A corporation like Amazon is sending book shops out
of business all over the country, and that would be fine if this were
solely a result of people's desire to buy from them instead. Whilst it
no doubt partially is, it's also a result of the grants and tax
advantages Amazon are given, the State is effectively choosing them
as a winner by giving them a head start in the race. Bad inequality!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So recognising these five problems my alternative solution would be to see this 'bad' inequality as being a result of taxation and work towards ending tax as a solution to that and all the other problems it creates. Is this unrealistic? Maybe, but I'm not sure it's any more unrealistic than attempting to apply tax equally to big and small, powerful and week, companies - is that likely to happen either? Furthermore by ending tax and doing away with the State altogether we can move a a society based on peaceful voluntary interactions, which I suspect will take us to a much better place than we're currently heading!</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm very much looking forward to
Professor David Nutt's talk – 'The Truth About Drugs', on the Isle
of Man next Monday. I wanted to put some stuff on this blog about the
drugs war, but I'm going away tomorrow so will only have time to do
this one post. I considered concentrating on the economics of the
war, but that's really shooting fish in a barrel, we established that
prohibition doesn't work (unless you're Al Capone) back in the
1920's.<span style="font-size: xx-small;">1</span> Another aspect of this that really fascinates me and makes
a farce of the whole thing, is that the same governments that prohibit
drugs are often also involved in dealing them. The CIA's role in
bringing drugs into the United States has been documented beyond doubt
for at least the past twenty years, with Congressman Ron Paul even
suggesting that this might be the number one reason why they're criminalised - 'so governments can have a revenue source to do illegal
things.' <span style="font-size: xx-small;">2</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The aspect of the war that most
interests and disturbs me however, is that like all wars it has a
terrible human cost. Attempting to stop people from using drugs by
making them illegal means that those who do must face some form of
penalty, usually being locked away in jail. This always
struck me as morally wrong, throwing someone in a cage for the
'crime' of ingesting a plant, but just how wrong has been illustrated
to me recently by the work of Dr. Gabor Mate. Whilst many people try
drugs, not all become addicts, it would seem some people have a
higher level of susceptibility than others. Dr. Mate's clinical
experience and research lead him to believe that the difference here
can largely be attributed to emotional disturbances resulting from
trauma in a persons history, most likely in their childhood. He goes
as far to say that not one of the most seriously addicted female
heroin users he works with in the slum area of Vancouver, wasn't sexual abused in their childhood. The 'war on drugs' is then nothing
other than a war on the most vulnerable and abused people in our society - </span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“The treatment implication is that if
we see addiction amongst other conditions not as a genetically
inherited disease but as a problem of brain development, then the
question we would be asking ourselves, knowing that the human brain
can develop late on in life, if the conditions are right, then the
question we would be asking ourselves is 'what conditions do people
need for their brains to develop properly, at any age.' Now, the
worst possible condition is when you stress an ostracise and
criminalise and dehumanise people, under those conditions there's no
growth whatsoever. So the war on drugs which is in fact a war on drug
addicts which is in fact a war on the most abused section of our
population from birth onwards, which is exactly the wrong thing to
engage in if you're really intent on helping people and to help
redeem them from their addictive habits.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gabor Mate</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dr. Mate points out that we can all
(himself included) indulge in destructive addictive behaviour to
varying degrees, be it shopping or alcohol or work etc. Not wanting
to admit to this, society points the finger of blame specifically at
those addicted to drugs as a form of scapegoating, projecting blame
onto others rather than accepting and dealing with our own issues.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was Very sad yesterday to hear that
investigative journalist Michael C. Ruppert had taken his own life.
I saw Mike deliver his lecture 'The Truth and Lies of 9/11' in
Amsterdam eleven years ago, where he laid out the case for elements
within the US government having been involved in the events of
September the 11<sup>th</sup>. Mike was one of the most prominent
voices questioning the official account of 9/11 in those early days
and his book 'Crossing the Rubicon – The Decline of the American
Empire at the End of the Age of Oil', was the first one I read on the
subject and I believe remains one of the best. Mike particularly
documented the insider trading that went on on 9/11, the unbelievable
coincidence of war games mirroring the actual attacks that took place
that day and the CIA's connections to international terrorism and the
global drugs trade. The latter was a subject he had famously
confronted the then CIA Director John Deutch on, publicly informing
him of the Agencies long standing role of importing narcotics into
the United States.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mike's erudite research provided a
platform for myself and lots of other people to understand the events
of September 11<sup>th</sup> and wider geopolitics in a much deeper
way. It's very sad that this work seems to have taken such a heavy
toll on the man himself.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The videos are here, Professor Gerard Casey's Libertarian Anarchy lecture is now online and available for viewing below. It's split into two parts, the main lecture and the question and answer session.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And here are some links to subjects Professor Casey mentioned during the talk - </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">George Ought to Help - A four minute cartoon explaining the non-aggression principle upon which libertarianism rests and how governments violate this.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGMQZEIXBMs">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGMQZEIXBMs</a></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Roads Fit for People - An experiment of what happened when traffic lights at a busy junction were switched off and drivers were left to organise priority between themselves.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi0meiActlU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi0meiActlU</a></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Professor Casey touched on government control of education. There're lots of great resources on this, I would particularly recommend anything by the American teacher John Taylor Gatto. I'll just link to a free book by Libertarian 'guru' Murray Rothbard - 'Education Free and Compulsory'. Rothbard documents that the State's involvement in education has always been a means of social control, form Sparta to the present day. As you can see from the opening paragraph, he doesn't pull his punches - </span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>"The
record of the development of compulsory education is a record of
State usurpation of parental control over children on behalf of its
own; an imposition of uniformity and equality to repress individual
growth; and the development of techniques to hinder the growth of
reasoning power and independent thought among the children."</i></span></div>
<a href="https://mises.org/books/education_free_rothbard.pdf"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">https://mises.org/books/education_free_rothbard.pdf</span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The subject of the environment was raised during the questions, specifically how it might be protected in the absence of a government. You can hear Libertarian Walter Block discussing this issue and explaining how a free-market has protected the environment in the past and could do so again.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.schiffradio.com/pg/jsp/verticals/archive.jsp?dispid=310&pid=64506">http://www.schiffradio.com/pg/jsp/verticals/archive.jsp?dispid=310&pid=64506</a></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's economist Bob Murphy discussing how property rights could evolve to tackle the issue of global warming, without the need for government. This segment starts at the twenty one minute mark. (there is however a very interesting discussion on the economics of why slavery couldn't exist in a Stateless society before that).</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.schiffradio.com/pg/jsp/verticals/archive.jsp?dispid=310&pid=64588">http://www.schiffradio.com/pg/jsp/verticals/archive.jsp?dispid=310&pid=64588</a></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally and perhaps most importantly the subject of Democide was raised, how governments are simply too dangerous to be allowed to exist due to them being the number one cause of unnatural deaths throughout history. This hard hitting video by Alex Jones documents the murder rate of different State's around the world, it contains some graphic images.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thanks to all those who attended and supported the lecture for making the production of this video possible. If anyone would like any information on any other topic raised then leave a comment and I'll do my best to to link to some.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last Year I blogged about
Yasmin Khan's project to make a documentary film about Iranian
cuisine. At the time, she was raising funds on Kickstarter to film a
promo in Iran, which she could then pitch to TV companies. That
promo is now here, and it's amazing! Look for yourself - </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 0.48cm;">The
subtle side of this project is to use cooking as a medium to humanise
the people of Iran in the eyes of people here. As I wrote last year,
</span><i style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 0.48cm;">'getting to know a
people is a really good cure for being indifferent as to whether our
governments want to kill them or not.</i><span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 0.48cm;">'
Since then, in Britain we have seen the historic vote </span><i style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 0.48cm;">against
</i><span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 0.48cm;">a
war with Syria, and a growing knowledge and scepticism of the
manipulative role Western governments play in events like the current
Ukrainian revolution. So rejoice, for the world is changing!</span><span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A question often asked in the alternative media however, is how to connect with more people? People whom (perhaps sensibly) have no wish to spend their time looking into the nefarious things that their governments are up to. This project maybe a shining example of such a way, promoting a sense of togetherness and our shared humanity with people across the globe, and thereby lessening the chance of future wars without mentioning politics at all!</span></span></div>

<div class="western" style="background-color: white; border: none; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0cm; padding: 0cm; text-align: left;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello Everyone,</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've decided to change the plan
regarding the sale of tickets for Professor Gerard Casey's upcoming
talk, Libertarian Anarchy. As of now, tickets are scrapped. I am
going to attempt to fund the event solely through donations.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's why. Just as the minimum wage
is a barrier that prevents people from getting jobs, so a minimum
charge is a barrier that prevents people coming to events. Obviously
I want as many people to attend as possible and therefore it doesn't
make sense to me to place obstacles in their way. To me of course,
£7 is a great price to hear a lecture on what I believe will be the
major emerging political (or apolitical) paradigm of the 21<sup>st</sup>
century. But of course not everyone thinks of anarcho-capitalism
this way, most people have either never heard of it, or if they have
they may think it's anything between lunacy or a right wing
conspiracy to take social welfare away. I understand this, and I
want those people to come along and listen first before deciding if
this is something they want to contribute towards or not.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There's a great experiment going on in
the emerging alternative media at the moment. The question being ask
is what is the best way to get valuable information distributed as
widely as possible, whilst still keeping the lights turned on? Can
information be made open to all, or does economic necessity mean it
has to be locked away behind walls? I don't know the answer to this,
but I do want to engage in the experiment. If I end up in the black,
I'll do more events in the future, if I end up in the red, I might
leave it to people who have big organisations behind them. It's all
very exciting!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Regarding the costs, I'm personally
looking at a bill of at least £350. And that's without getting the
event filmed, something I'd really like to have professionally done
so it can be seen all over the world. So I would ask that if you do
feel it's valuable to have these kind of events on the Isle of Man,
please do make a financial contribution on the night.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As this event will now be co-created by
all those who put into it, another way to support it is to tell
people about it. It's great if people invite their contacts on the
facebook event page (link below) and repost the articles there. I'll
be drawing up a flyer too, which I'll try and put somewhere anyone
can download.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">One of the most common objections raised to the idea of a stateless society is that government is necessary to look after the poor and the vulnerable, whom without its protection would be dying on the streets! Professor Casey is going to tackle this problem head on in a new lecture he's preparing called 'Let the Poor Starve!', which is an examination of the welfare state. In this context, 'the poor' include the biggest welfare recipients of all, the big banks and corporations (or hotels on the Isle of Man!). He will also examine how a stateless society might come up with creative solutions for caring for the </span><i style="line-height: 18px;">real </i><span style="line-height: 18px;">poor and vulnerable, solutions that don't include the inefficiency and violence of the state.</span></span></div>

will reject the charge of false Imprisonment or kidnapping that I lay
against the state. People are put In gaol, they will say, only if
they are convicted of committing a crime; the fact that they are in
gaol means they are criminals The state is not only not doing
anything wrong In putting them there, it is doing something
positively good by protecting us from these miscreants. This
objection, of course, draws our attention firmly to the question of
which courses of conduct actually constitute crime. While most people
will agree that murder, robbery, kidnapping and assault are crimes
involving, as they do, gross interference with the lives, liberties
and properties of others, it is not entirely clear just what awful
deed is being done by Tom, Dick and Harriet when, for example, they
smoke pot in the privacy of their rooms and why it should require
violent intervention by the state to prevent it." </span></span>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“While
libertarians may be willing to concede that the use of many chemical
substances is individually and socially harmful, they will oppose
attempts to proscribe or regulate either drug-taking or drug
commerce. This for two reasons The first, principled, reason is that
such proscription or regulation is a violation of individual liberty;
the second, consequentialist, reason, is that history shows that such
attempts at proscription and regulation inevitably make a bad
situation worse. Alcohol prohibition of the 1920s was an unqualified
disaster and today's so-called war on drugs is no more successful in
reducing the incidence of drug-taking. (Isn't It remarkable that
whereas in the good old days we used to wage war on countries,
nations or states, now we wage war on inanimate objects like drugs
and abstract nouns like terrorism?) The 'war on drugs' merely
increases the price of drugs to consumers and profits to retailers,
corrupts those charged with enforcing the anti-drug laws and ensures
that large numbers of people who otherwise would not come to the
attention of the police receive a first class criminal training at
the public expense in state-run penal facilities. Legal and physical
compulsion is not a sound foundation upon which to build the moral
character of individuals or a better society.”</span></div>

enforced school attendance Is a form of involuntary incarceration
that violates the rights of both parents and children. Only the
parents or guardians of children and the children when they are old
enough to assume responsibility for themselves can make such
decisions. What goes for compulsory school attendance goes even more
for military conscription. Conscription is sometimes justified on the
grounds that we need it to defend our countries. Unless we equate our
countries with the states operating in our countries, and putting to
one side the obvious point that if there are no states there would be
no states to attack or be attacked, the libertarian will argue that
conscription is a form of involuntary servitude - more bluntly, a
form of slavery - and so is to be rejected on libertarian grounds."</span></span></div>

that the core function of the state is said to be the preservation of

not irrelevant to note that recent history shows that most killing

to be the government of a state and to control its coercive
apparatus. The number of people killed in the twentieth century in

history have lived in a state of anarchy; most of our daily
interaction with our family, friends, neighbours and colleagues is
framed by anarchy, and anarchy is the only mode of organisation that
is consistent with our accepting responsibility for ourselves, our
families and our communities in an adult way.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For anyone who is interested in Professor Gerard Casey's upcoming talk on Libertarian Anarchy on the Isle of Man, if you want to get a feel for the core essence of the idea, I could do no better than to recommended the following short film, 'George Ought to Help'. In four minutes it strips away the illusion that the State is anything other than a Mafia type organisation, and demonstrates how it cannot operate without recourse to the most extreme forms of violence. Finally it poses the question, can we create a world built on voluntary exchanges as opposed to coercive violence? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This ladies name is Gemma Worrall, she
has recently achieved world wide fame for misspelling the name of the
guy who reads a Teleprompter for the corporate elite in the United
States, and confusing him with another guy who does a similar job in
the United Kingdom.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ms. Worrall's intelligence has been
called into question as a result of this lapse of judgement, but as
the following Learn Liberty video demonstrates, she's actually being
entirely rational in not knowing anything about politics, if not in
her decision to then tweet about it!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And from now on, on this site, the aforementioned Teleprompter reader will always be referred to as 'Barraco Barner'. I'm sure he'd prefer it to being called Barack the Bomber or Barry Soetoro or anything like that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">On the Isle of Man complaining about Government seems to be the national sport. Whether it's toilet taxes, hotel bailouts or ridiculous over expenditure on capital projects, we all love a good moan about the Gov. </span><span style="color: black;">But have you ever considered if the problem is not the individuals running government, but rather the very concept of government itself? Do we really need a government at all? Would society fall into chaos without its guiding hand? Would big corporations end up owning everything? Who would provide essential services? Is a stateless society just a utopian fantasy?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">On Saturday 22nd of March Professor Gerard Casey will be visiting the Island to present his case that society does not need government to function and in fact we would be much better off without it. </span><span style="color: black;">Far from being a utopian fantasy, a stateless society based on voluntary interactions and exchanges would be both more moral and functional than our current system of taxation based on violent coercion, and such a society is achievable any time we choose it.</span></span></div>

are criminal organizations. All states, not just the obviously
totalitarian or repressive ones. I intend this statement to be
understood literally and not as some form of rhetorical exaggeration.</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
argument is simple. Theft, robbery, kidnapping and murder are all
crimes. Those who engage in such activities, whether on their own
behalf or on behalf of others are, by definition, criminals. In
taxing the people of a country, the state engages in an activity that
is morally equivalent to theft or robbery; in putting some people in
prison, especially those who are convicted of so-called victimless
crimes or when it drafts people into the armed services, the state is
guilty of kidnapping or false imprisonment; in engaging in wars that
are other than purely defensive or, even if defensive, when the means
of <span lang="en-GB">defence</span> employed are disproportionate
and indiscriminate, the state is guilty of manslaughter or murder.</span></div>
