First Meeting With a Graduate Counsellor

I had my first face-to-face meeting with a graduate degree counsellor today. He says I need three Sociology prerequisites, as I gather myself for a Master's in Sociology. My thesis is now entitled, Gross National Happiness Relative to the Imposition of the Dynamics of Slavery (i. e. Taxation of Labor, Taxation of Property, Numbering People as Cattle, Debt, Theft of the Value of Labor Through Monetary Inflation.)

"HeSheItWeThey"

There is an inner peace when I contemplate God as a personality. This personality, for lack of a better term, I call: "HeSheItWeThey." And I'm not too sure about the "It" part.

Gandhiji referred to God as "He," but I am unable to find where he gets this.

His book on prayer is a soothing exploration of God, and I recommend it: MahatmaGandhiGlobalLibrary.blogspot.com.

Never Shall I Return

Yesterday, a kind woman at university gave me a Christian tract in an attempt to convert me back to my twenty-seven year past in the Christian religion.

I can never return to a religion that tells the black man that "we are all of one blood" in one phrase and uses the next phrase to beat him bloody with a stick back into the "bounds of [his] habitation."

I can never return to a religion that tells children in Sunday School that "God don't make no junk" and then tells the hermaphrodite that they are a twisted freak of their father's sins, worthy only of rejection and death.

I can never return to a religion whose never-changing God teaches believers that they may hold slaves in one place (within their holy book) and then that their mission is to "preach liberty to the captives" in another.

I can never return to a religion that tells me to "fake it till you make it" and then tells me to never be a hypocrite.

I can never return to a religion that tells me there are 2,000 year old people today waiting for Jesus to return in the Second Coming, noting that there is no Internet coverage of the 2,000 year old people down the street anywhere on the planet (Matthew 16:28).

No, I am Gandhian, a worshipper of God as Truth Only. The Nazarene is not my enemy, but he and his father, if described accurately in the Bible, are not Truth Only. And any Spirit of God that is within me is not from that which is less than Truth Only.

"Divine knowledge is not borrowed from books. It has to be realized by oneself" (M. K. Gandhi).

Advice to Young People

In 1994, I spent several months as a prison guard in East Texas at one of the larger prisons. At that time, I learned how prison is a microcosm of the Marxist institutions we use in everyday life (i. e. public schools). The high school I went to as as a child was called, "The Lewisville Prison," by the kids.

As a university Economics student these days, I would suggest to a young person that you invest in ways that cannot be exploited by Marxists. If you invest in real property, then you have the 1st plank of The Communist Manifesto to consider, taxation of property. They can raise taxes at arbitrary rates and times, leaving you unable to live even in your family home.

I like the idea of investing in your own education because Marxists cannot take it from you, unless they kill or maim you. They are know to do such things.

Get schooled in playing an instrument, welding or car repair; things that will give you an edge in prison. Marxist can't do much to take that from you in prison; you know, the world they are creating.

Tell Pete Hendrickson that We're Coming!

I received an email noting that Tax Protester Pete Hendrickson, who is in prison, asked where "Superman" was to free us from Keynsian-Marxism? Well, I'm not Superman, but I do know that the conversation is changing in America, and lots of us are making that happen, including the Pete Hendrickson's, Bob Schulz's and Larkin Rose's of the world.

The other day, a student became the object of some small laughter in one of my classes for asking about the gold standard in a recent university lecture. This was not an issue just few years ago.

As for me, I'm tens of thousands in school debt at forty-five years old as I work toward a Ph. D. in Economics and a J. D., the same degrees held by Ludwig Von Mises (Mises.org). I saw years ago that we Tax Honesty Movement people are degreed too shallow to get invited to the big boy table of ideas. Even Peter Schiff an Irwin Schiff hold only BS Economics degrees, just enough to get you to the proverbial complaint window.

Change will happen in a mix of Kenneth B. Clark styled sociological studies, as we saw in the Brown v. Board of Education, along with the tax case found in "For A New Liberty," by Murray Rothbard.

We're coming, Pete. We're studying to be law librarians, lawyers, economists, etc. We're coming, Pete.

The Path Forward to Preserving the Value of Our Labor

Because of the defeating nature of property ownership in a property tax crazed environment, a deflationary future in most stocks, I see the only viable move is for investors to unify into a buying group of high end art (Picasso, Monet, etc.), which appreciate at faster rates than other investments without intrinsic tax issues.
