Constitutional Sanctuaries: Liberty's Last Stand in Modern America

As we navigate the intricate web of our modern society, the concept of sanctuary jurisdictions continues to make headlines. Traditionally, these places – known as sanctuary cities, counties, or states – are where local or regional law enforcement limits their cooperation with federal authorities, especially on controversial issues like immigration. However, this sanctuary concept has recently morphed into a broader, more powerful movement encompassing a range of constitutional issues, from Second Amendment rights and marijuana decriminalization to the refusal to enforce mask mandates and business closures related to COVID-19. Today, we'll examine the intriguing notion of a constitutional sanctuary from a libertarian perspective, focusing on individual liberties, limited government, and personal choice. We'll also delve into the critical role of Constitutional Sheriffs, resistance against not just federal but also state overreaches, and the implications of non-compliance with co...

What if America functioned on a similar model as Alcoholics Anonymous

By Matthew Hayward If America functioned similarly to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), it would likely be a society based on a decentralized, self-governing model, where decisions are made locally by consensus-based decision-making processes. One potential consequence of such a model is that there would be less emphasis on central government authority and more focus on local community-driven initiatives. This could result in a society where people are more engaged in their communities and where there is a greater sense of shared responsibility for the well-being of the community as a whole. Another possible outcome of an AA-like model in America is that there may be less emphasis on individualism and more focus on group accountability. In AA, individuals are held accountable to their peers, and decisions are made based on the collective good of the group. Similarly, in a society that functioned on an AA-like model, individuals may be more accountable to their communities, and decisions would...

The War on Cryptocurrencies: Decentralization vs Centralization

Cryptocurrencies have sparked intense debate in recent years as governments and central banks worldwide grapple with their regulation and control. Bitcoin, the pioneer of decentralized cryptocurrencies , has weathered numerous attempts at suppression, yet it continues to gain mainstream acceptance. However, government and central bank tactics are evolving as cryptocurrencies gain popularity. They're now focusing on creating centralized stablecoins—cryptocurrencies pegged to fiat currencies like the US dollar. This move towards centralization raises concerns about undermining the core principle of decentralization, which is freedom from government oversight. The rise of regulated exchanges further contributes to the normalization of cryptocurrencies. While these platforms offer control and accountability, they also dilute the essence of decentralization. A truly decentralized currency should operate independently of any central authority. The direct listing of Coinbase , a major cry...

Tools used to enslave can also be used to free

Financial interests and power structures dislike nothing more than freedom and decentralization ; their entire existence demands centralization and control. If you choose to engage and live in the world created by our politicians and banking interests, you will do so at the cost of our children's freedom. All you need to do is choose freedom over fear. Do not accept their veil of lies and mental prisons that depends upon submission.  We are on the precipice of a technological revolution. Those in power are terrified of no longer being necessary and will expand any energy needed to convince people that freedom is dangerous and can't work . Blockchain technology, smart contracts , and web3 are here. We aren't going back. You can hold out like those who thought the internet was a fad or said you would never get a cell phone, but you will assimilate. A small number of people don't have smartphones, and a much smaller number don't have cell phones, but those numbers ar...
