When All Crimes Are Those Against the State
When All Crimes Are Those Against the State “Do not encroach against others or their property.” The above principle is a simple one, yet it’s the basis for all criminal law. In turn, criminal law is the basis for Common Law, the legal system for English-speaking peoples and much of the rest of the world. […]
Canada’s Online Harms Act Bill C-63: Life in Prison for Thought Criminals
Canada’s Online Harms Act Bill C-63: Life in Prison for Thought Criminals Bill C-63, otherwise known as the Online Harms Act, is the most dangerous piece of legislation ever foisted on Canadians, and possibly the most dangerous piece of legislation currently on the books anywhere in the world. The Online Harms Act is a counter-intel propaganda […]
It isn’t nice to block the courtroom…
It isn’t nice to block the courtroom… A bit of news from the home front here at Small Farm Future, and a few reflections based around it. Today, my wife received a suspended prison sentence for disrupting a court as an act of protest against government inaction on climate change. Here is a short video she made […]
Degrowth and law – how to combine these concepts?
Degrowth and law – how to combine these concepts? Reconciling degrowth and law isn’t always easy, given the anarchist underpinnings and anti-statist leanings of some in the degrowth community. One vision of a degrowth world is of decentralized, autonomous, convivial communities of people in tune with their supporting ecosystems, consuming no more than they need, sharing as much as possible and treating each […]
SELCO: Someone WILL Enforce the New Rules When the SHTF…And You Probably WON’T Like How They Do It
SELCO: Someone WILL Enforce the New Rules When the SHTF…And You Probably WON’T Like How They Do It Words are important, to be sure that we are talking about the same things and situations. We need them so that we can somehow “categorize” things. Why? Because we are living in a world where we want […]
Lawlessness
Lawlessness With the news that Julian Assange is “wasting away” in Belmarsh prison hospital, and with UN rapporteur Professor Nils Melzer’s report detailing how this happens, I’m once again drawn towards the lawlessness that all “authorities” involved in his case have been displaying, and with impunity. They all apparently think they are literally above the […]
A War on Science, Morals and Law
A War on Science, Morals and Law A new report by the Union of Concerned Scientists accuses Trump’s Interior Department of “relentless attacks on science ranging from suppressing and sidelining the work of the department’s scientists to systematically refusing to act on climate change.” To put it mildly, this is concerning. The Union of Concerned […]
Fixers
Fixers Gustave Caillebotte Young man by his window 1875 If there’s one thing that is exposed in the sorry not-so-fairy tale of former Trump aides Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen, it’s that Washington is a city run by fixers. Who often make substantial amounts of money. Many though by no means all, start out as […]
Great Britain has become an Orwellian, globalist police state. Once the land of the Magna Carta, it’s now the land of tyranny.
Great Britain has become an Orwellian, globalist police state. Once the land of the Magna Carta, it’s now the land of tyranny. Free speech is gone–the imprisonment of Tommy Robinson proves that. There was no legitimate charge, no trial, no due process. Instead, he was disappeared into jail where death threatens him. Remember, an anti-Muslim […]
Spain is only the Blueprint for How All Governments Will Act
Spain is only the Blueprint for How All Governments Will Act What is going on in Spain is the blueprint what what other governments will do. The Spanish people themselves outside of Catalonia are deeply divided. Many see this as offensive and others see the government as offensive. We are looking at the breakup of […]
A Correction To Commenter Matt Damon
A Correction To Commenter Matt Damon Dear Mr. Damon (I like you: can I call you Matt? You’ll never read this anyway, so I’ll call you by your first name). So, dear Matt, The cause of liberty needs people with your spirit. However, I’m sorry, but your recent defense of liberty and independence is so […]
Panama is Small Change
Panama is Small Change There is a conspiracy engaging in theft, counterfeiting, fraud, extortion, blackmail, bribery, influence peddling, drugs, terrorism, and war that makes the Panama Papers’ exposures look like a small-town police blotter account of juvenile shoplifting. This criminal enterprise launders trillions, not billions, of dollars; it involves major political, business, financial, academic, and […]
Pre-emption: How and Why Rail Companies Are Above The Law
Pre-emption: How and Why Rail Companies Are Above The Law CSX is one of the major rail companies that is profiting from the oil-by-rail boom led by North Dakota’s Bakken crude oil. On September 28th, a day that is apparently national “good neighbor day,” CSX broadcast the following message on Twitter. Which is a nice message. But CSX and the rest of the rail […]
Can the law protect us from climate change?
Can the law protect us from climate change? Can the law protect us from climate change? Do we have a legal right to a stable climate? Are governments responsible for preventing dangerous climate change within their borders? One month ago I would have answered these questions with “most likely not”, but one extraordinary court case […]
You May No Longer Think Wrong Thoughts, Citizen
You May No Longer Think Wrong Thoughts, Citizen Shortly after the election victory that probably surprised no-one more than himself, David Cameron launched into explaining to the hoi-polloi what further transmogrification of the State is in store now that he’s got a free hand. He inter alia elated the audience with the following zinger: “For […]
