Brian’s Column: The Threat Matrix

Posted on December 28, 2014 by Brian Wright

Specific high-crimes and assaults on humanity by the pathocracy

During the writing of my book on Libertarian Party/movement grand strategy, Leaving the Sandbox, I stumbled on a central idea not unlike being hit over the head by it with a two-by-four. Duh! As I wrote in that book, “The Great Barnacle standing in the way of human fulfillment has morphed from an easily identified and demonized Tyrant to a global matrix of mental domination and brute aggression masqueraded—via decades of the most sophisticated and insidious audiovisual mind control—as somehow intellectually respectable and GOOD FOR US!”

Thus our greatest challenge as freedom fighters is to convince the people that those people who say they’re from the government “ARE NOT here to help you.” What this means is today the fight for TRUTH and JUSTICE are indispensable prerequisites to our battle for freedom. They are the soil and water of the Liberty Tree. Continue reading →

Guest Column: Why the State Suppresses Jury Nullification

Jury Nullification and Why Ross Ulbricht’s Prosecutors Are Trying to Evade It

Editor’s Note: A microcosm of everything scary and wrong about the out of control criminal injustice system, but soon to be rectified by the people as they reassert their grand jury authority for indictment (presentment) against government and government-associated criminals–telling all the officers of the court what to do (instead of the other way around)–and, in this case, they fully empower themselves by understanding their inalienable rights to decide facts and law in any criminal prosecution. [Though they almost always have good reason, they can let a man go free for whatever reason they wish… because the prosecutor is inflicting them with bad breath. The people have the power, they’ve been fooled into thinking they do not.] — bw

There is a basic principle that underlies any honest attempt at good governance: Continue reading →

Brian’s Column: The Foreword to After 9/11 Truth

Posted on December 21, 2014 by Brian Wright

The Death Star in Ashes, Humanity Rises

How’s that for a subtitle, eh?

Let me tell you that sometimes I wish I had never come on board the 9/11 Truth Team —rather, as millions of supposed patriotic Americans, I accepted the government’s story and not asked questions. For me the truth journey on 9/11 started in 2005, with the viewing of a shoestring-budget DVD entitled Where’s the Plane? It had a simple message: “Nobody has actually produced evidence that a Boeing 757, much less Flight 77, struck the Pentagon on 9/11/2001…” and as much as I balked at that conclusion, I had to agree.

Where’s the Plane led to more questions, then to a site called Center for an Informed America hosted by gadfly question-asker and citizen-researcher Dave McGowan. Dave presented evidence and analysis about the Pentagon, also the World Trade Center and other aspects of the official conspiracy theory of 9/11… that… JUST… DID… NOT… ADD… UP. From there I discovered David Ray Griffin, the site 9/11truth.org, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, etc., and I became a veteran advocate by 2008. Continue reading →

Book Review: The Light of Alexandria (2005)

Posted on December 19, 2014 by Brian Wright

The first 1,000 years of science and how it helped to shape Greece, Rome, and the world, by James Maynard. 2005, Lulu, 171 pages

It’s a real kick for me to review this fine work of art by a new friend of mine in the Free State. In fact, James is the one who suggested I investigate publishing my own book, New Pilgrim Chronicles, using the independent publisher Lulu.

Although Light reaches a general audience of any educational level, say, beyond junior high school, it’s going to be more appreciated by those of us who went through some college prerequisites. Back when I was a freshman and when CliffsNotes was young, I recall the Socratic dialogs. Continue reading →

Movie Review: High Noon (1952)

Posted on December 17, 2014 by Brian Wright

Quintessential (and timely) story of moral courage __ 10/10

Helen (to Harvey): You’re a good-looking
boy: you have big, broad shoulders. But he’s a man. And it takes more than big, broad shoulders to make a man.

Helen: I don’t understand you. No matter what you say. If Kane was my man, I’d never leave him like this. I’d get a gun. I’d fight.
Amy: Why don’t you?
Helen: He is not my man. He’s yours.

Helen: Kane will be a dead man in half an hour and nobody’s going to do anything about it. And when he dies, this town dies too. I can feel it. I am all alone in the world. I have to make a living. So I’m going someplace else. That’s all. Continue reading →

Guest Column: New Time, New Life

Waking up through the creative imagination
by Jon Rappoport
via NoMoreFakeNews.com

There are some people who hear the word CREATE and wake up, as if a new flashing music has begun.

This lone word makes them see something majestic and untamed and astonishing.

They feel the sound of a Niagara approaching.

They suddenly know why they are alive.

It happened to me one day in 1949 when I was 11 years old. I was boarding a bus in upstate New York for a full day’s ride back down into New York City. I was sitting by the window as the bus pulled out of a parking lot, and I opened the first page of Ray Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles, a perfect children’s book. Continue reading →

Brian’s Column: 9/11 Truth-Letter Closure Campaign, Part 3 of 3

Posted on December 14, 2014 by Brian Wright

Final Process and Project Notes and the First-Cut Letter Template

Continued from Part 2.

Before I get to the actual 9/11 truth letter template I’m going to propose as the central format for the entire project across the Truth Community, let me say a few more words about the preparation and process. This letter template is just that, a template, actually a suggestion to facilitate—by not requiring a lot of heavy lifting as a writer—individual action. Each individual should feel free to deviate from the template based on his own preferences or personal style. The important thing is to get cracking without too much prep time.

Process/Project High-Level

My vision for the project is that each activist/letter (email) writer begins and completes his or her own outreach in the span of two to four weeks. This period includes:

learning about and buying into the project thru the “After 9/11 Truth” columns or my book of the same name.[1]
making groupings or distribution lists of your contacts.
sending the letters (typically emails).
gathering data from the responses to feed the campaign.
