Book Review: America’s Survival Guide (2007)

How to … reclaim America’s First Principles and history
by Judge Michael Warren

America_Survival“Only lay down true principles, and adhere to them inflexibly. Do not be frightened into their surrender by the alarms of the timid, or the croakings of wealth against the ascendancy of the people….

“A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second, that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sin and suffering.”

— Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Samuel Kercheval (1816).

One of the best introductions to America’s First Principles, America’s Survival Guide is a primer for those principles, along with several practical steps that we as Americans must take to reclaim liberty in our country. The author, Michael Warren, an actual sitting circuit court judge in Michigan, spells out the mission statement of the book at the outset: Continue reading

Brian’s Column: First Principles and Independents’ Movements

A short summary of where I’m going at this point
By Brian R. Wright

Kind of high level for the time being, of interest solely to those working at ending the Men of the Power Sickness and their various Death Stars. But if you fall into that category, please read and send me any of your comments. I’m probably two months away from launch of the First Principles’ project, four months from definition and launch of the Independents’ Movement (IM). What follows is an advanced view, a sheet that I kicked off with Pete and Doreen Hendrickson yesterday (10/22/17).

INDEPENDENTS’ MOVEMENT (IM)—NOTES ON BUILDING THE NETWORK
by Brian R. Wright [posted w/links at brianrwright.com/IM_notes.pdf]

These stem from thoughts I had in transit back and forth to my high school 50-year-graduation reunion in Overland Park, Kansas, October 11-16, 2017.

We the people are in a real bind now because of constant wealth extraction by the Men of the Power Sickness (MOPs) and general popular acceptance of these men’s agencies’ behavior, government statements, and media complicity. The general public now has submerged its consciousnesses in a programmed reality not unlike the Matrix [reference to the science fiction movie (1999)].

In my novel, The Truman Prophecy, I articulate a vision for ending the mind control, in effect creating a movement to free submerged consciousnesses (at least those not completely podified) and facilitate a Global-Spring of Independent consciousnesses. Most of the methods I envisioned there require too much time to meet the threat and effect real, positive change.

But some of the ideas in the TP, particularly First Principles and their corollary grand juries, have real, immediate potential, especially in line with immediate legal methods to go on the offensive on the multiple threats. The problem here is that logic and reason have become irrelevant and are suppressed, the MOPs have generated increasing amounts of Barrier Cloud, which impedes people from even being aware.

Brian’s Column: American First Principles Day, August 2

Setting up the Holiday and Invoking Our First Principles for the Common Good
By Brian R. Wright

Recently, while in attendance at the Oakland County, Michigan, meeting of Campaign for Liberty (C4L), master of ceremonies, Dennis Marburger, stated that the actual signing of the Declaration of Independence occurred on August 2, 1776. I had forgotten this little acknowledged fact, but truly this is a significant day. Because this is when those in the assembly actually put their ‘lives, fortunes, and sacred honor’ on the line. Perhaps more important to ‘the course of human events’ than political independence from England is the Declaration’s famous statement of what have become known as American First Principles—and, further, the foremost universal statement of INDIVIDUAL rights:[1]

  1. Equality before the law
  2. Natural rights of the individual
  3. Government’s sole purpose to secure these natural rights
  4. Government’s powers deriving from the People
  5. People’s direct authority to monitor and control government, even dissolve it

AKA American First Principles. These are the foundation of all valid laws for ‘our people’ … and by extension any other peoples willing to assert such inherent natural rights. [For ‘rights’ one may read ‘fundamental freedoms.’ I’m not going to quibble over terms. Like Ayn Rand, I’ll stipulate that a right is the moral claim of “freedom of action in a social context.”] The point is our individual rights—no matter who we are—are inviolable and we the people are in charge of all public servants whose job is solely to secure these rights. They screw up, we step in… it is a legal necessity and, indeed, we are morally and civically obliged to do so. Continue reading

Brian’s Column: Where Can I Do the Most Good? (Part 1 of 2)

Panic attack at a GOP county convention

republican_symbolNovi, Michigan. It came on suddenly, triggered I think by the invocation—in this WASPish crowd, always a nod to the Christian God—that meandered to an end by stating how we should always cherish our great friend, Israel. What?!

First—and I’ve felt this way about virtually all of the Republican meetings I’ve been to since becoming a precinct delegate roughly two years ago—what’s an invocation of faith in ‘God’ doing at a political meeting? This is America, where people’s religious beliefs are their own business so long as, “they neither break my bones or pick my pocket,” as our great sage and secular saint Thomas Jefferson put it.

Second, what is the state of Israel doing in a Christian invocation? Is the speaker trying to ward off accusations of excluding Jews?  If so, why not say, let’s be nice to Jews… not let’s be nice to Israel? Then if we’re invoking kindness toward Jews, why not Muslims, Buddhists, humanists, and Great Pumpkinists? Which leads to the obvious conclusion that it’s best to dispense with religious observances in secular gatherings of this nature. If you want to solemnize the occasion, lead a moment of silence.

Brian’s Column: The Truman Prophecy, Excerpt #13

From Part I: Dorothy Scarecrow: Fed Grand Jury on Geongineering

Truman_Front[Excerpt from The Truman Prophecy, due for publication 12/25/15.]

Federal Grand Jury on Geoengineering, Sacramento, California. Clarkson Hodges after a key conference call with Chance and Brother Al in late March of this year, contacted his local Californian, Dane Wigington, prolific leader of Geoengineeringwatch.org. [Or perhaps Dane—after reading the Prophecy—initiated the contact to Clarkson via Chance/BroAl.]

In any case, they arranged to meet, early April, in a restaurant in Redding, Northern California. They were to discuss submittal of a petition to the most proximate sitting, actual federal grand jury (in Eureka, CA)—also believed by Hodges to be overseen by the most uncorrupted and Constitutionally knowledgeable district court judge—to investigate and indict federal and state government officials, as well as corporate and labor accomplices, for attempted manslaughter of Northern California residents, specifically, and Californians in general.

“Nice to meet you, Clarkson,” said Dane Continue reading

Brian’s Column: The Snowden-Manning Campaign

… is a symbolic assertion of consensus by millions of Americans on how their country can be fixed… especially in light of the federal government’s attacks on NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and Army Wikileaker Bradley/Chelsea Manning.

Snowden-Manning_Art_2The plan is to develop a Website and facilities for blanketing the country in ‘signage’—bumper stickers, t-shirts, coffee cups, lapel pins, banners, brochures, etc.—that will be suggestive of a Snowden-Manning 2016 presidential campaign. Continue reading

Article: The 2004 Free State Project Porcupine Festival

Live Free or Stay Put

New Picture (2)Here in spring of 2014, a full decade later, I’m reassembling my impressions from diaries I kept of the key foundational Free State event in 2004, the first Porcupine Festival. Reviewing the text, I see that I was not all worked out spiritually—who ever is, even a man into his 50s at the time?—and may have stated harsh or overly judgmental impressions of people. I apologize for this, but I have to own my past mistakes and personal shortcomings. (Heck, in 2004 I still pretty much accepted the Official Big Lie of the 9/11 Attacks!) Many regrets to any and all I may have offended; chances are strong I have favorable views toward you today. Also I feel the text shows at the time, as a lot of other men with high hopes, I was in love (or something like it) with Amanda Phillips, the early heroine and spokesperson for the FSP. So please excuse the boyish gushiness in places. I’m sure she’s put all that behind her. 🙂  Continue reading
