The Modern Control of Information

There is currently only one way a service provider can censor TOR.

Thanks for the add/invite.

I am going to make an assumption that most people here are drawn to homesteading, not just for the independence, but also for the freedom (two very different things). Well, we know what agency is drawn to freedom, and so it seems to me that the elephant in the room is what to do about that negative attention when (not 'if') it happens.

They aren't going to let you produce under the table, unmolested. This is NOT an attempt to talk anyone out of homesteading. On the contrary, I think YOU can beat them, and I think your chances are damn good. But you have to at least acknowledge the reality that an escaped slave is a liability (to THEM). You then have to have a means to deter the goons that will inevitably come knocking on your door.

You can do it. It starts with an 'm' and there is a few ways of it failing but a million ways it succeeds.

tl:dr
There is producing wealth, and then there is protecting wealth. You have to have both.

Federal Infestation To Safeguard the Militia

Well, yes and no:

For those that are ready to move beyond THINKING and start DOING, I give you the first in 'The Art of Rebellion' series:

The THINKING is over. It's time for DOING.

In 2010, there were 1,271 counterterrorist, homeland security, and intelligence organizations, 1,931 private sector analogues, 10,000 locations of these organizations, and ~854,000 people with top-secret security clearances.

The term “financial freedom” takes on an entirely different meaning when one considers not the amount of money one has, but how controlled one’s financial position is. Financial service providers, including banks and credit card companies, are required to collect Know Your Customer (KYC) & Anti-Money Laundering (AML) information from all of their customers. The government requires people to reveal the location of their cash and gold, does not permit people to leave the territory with certain amounts of precious metals, and innovators of new cryptocurrencies can be physically detained for their inventions. A significant portion of income, savings and other earnings are taken by means such as taxes, regulations, licenses and fees. All of this ensures that meaningful “financial freedom” is not possible within the confines of the system.

Virtually all other aspects of a person’s life are subject to some form of controls or surveillance. The FBI has spied on viewers while issuing gag orders against the internet providers through which the spying occurred, border security can detain any who refuse to unlock their phones, judges can imprison those who do not decrypt their hard drives, the government secretly surveys certain businesses such as gun dealers, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) allows the NSA to force businesses to provide access to their communications equipment, most major manufacturers of printers encode an identification measure to trace printed materials back to that specific machine, government mail carriers store images of mail received through them, the NSA collects metadata of calls through major cellular carriers, and federal agencies collect information from major social media companies while boasting that their program “XKeyscore” can gather intelligence from online histories, businesses and agencies can identify a person’s online presence via their “browser fingerprint,” every smart device’s microphone can be turned on remotely while the location can be tracked within a meter, Intel computers can be remotely controlled and observed by government, and internet censorship as well as indoctrination protocols and the targeting of at risk audiences has been contracted out to obscure non profits.

Those are the facts so those who wish to think of a way around these challenges…have plenty of thinking to do. In this challenge, there may be more cause for hope than might be expected at first glance.

: Economic data is historic data, which cannot be controlled
: Empirical science requires repeated experiments/data
:: Thus, economics can never be an empirical science

The statistico-economist has to guess at cause and effect. The proper economist relies on deduction from the known, similar to mathematics where evidence does not factor in. By itself, empiricism or 'evidence' cannot result in truth (justified belief) as there is always uncertainty.

Rationalism > Empiricism

statist: that's too simple

me: and that isn't an argument

F**k Free Speech!

[observe their responses]

The State doctrine of Free Speech is at odds with the Exclusion Principle.

the exclusion principle {n.} the definition of ownership in which the owner(s) can exclude all other parties from his (their) property; the man who cannot be excluded from a thing either owns it himself or is a criminal imposing his will onto the legitimate property owners

self-interest + reciprocity = markets
self-interest - reciprocity = fascism
reciprocity - self-interest = communism
