Buy Me a Coffee

That bowl of soup—it was dearer than freedom, dearer than life itself, past, present, and future.

- Alexander Solzhenitsyn, One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich

Non-aggression is vital in any peaceful and harmonious society, but when the State becomes this aggressive, making war on the people, as it has today, it is time for active self-defense against the State. Sometimes it is necessary to meet the brutal and violent force of an out-of-control government with a greater force. That time has come.

- Gary D. Barnett

- Larken Rose

We used to define ourselves by what we were for. Now we define ourselves by what we're against.

I'm not

I’m not a tree, even though I have branches.

I’m not an ocean, even though I am mystery.

I’m not… even though I am.

I’m not a song, even though I’m melodic.

I’m not a poem, even though I am letters.

I’m not… even though I am.

I’m not my father, even though I have love.

I’m not a bird, even though I can fly.
