Are you sick and tired of the government telling you what you can and cannot do with your own body and in the privacy of your own home?
Are you sick and tired of the government taking your money and spending it on programs you don’t agree with that don’t work anyway?
There finally is something you can do about it.
I’ve been meaning to do this for quite a while, and finally did it tonight. And that’s part of the problem: We as Americans have become apathetic. We hear about the government getting bigger and more invasive, and we shrug our shoulders, say “What can I possibly do?” and go back to watching TV.
Far from being lovers of liberty dedicated to keeping America the land of the free, we have become a nation of couch potatoes who only become upset enough to do something when FOX cancels our favorite TV program.
That must change. And it starts with you. Or in my case, me. So today I finally signed up for the Free State Project.
The Free State Project is an effort to recruit 20,000 liberty-loving people to move to New Hampshire. We are looking for neighborly, productive, tolerant folks from all walks of life, of all ages, creeds, and colors who agree to the political philosophy expressed in our Statement of Intent, that government exists at most to protect people’s rights, and should neither provide for people nor punish them for activities that interfere with no one else.
When you sign our Statement of Intent, you signal your commitment to move to the chosen free state, New Hampshire, within five years of obtaining 19,999 other people who commit to move. The more signatures we get, the more secure people can be in their decision to move, because they know that many other people will also be moving — enough to make a real difference! You don’t have to wait until we have 20,000 signatures to move, of course, but that option is there to let you be more secure in your decision. — Free State Project
Once in New Hampshire, the 20,000 or more true lovers of liberty will work to cut the government down to a more appropriate size. If you have been sitting on the fence, waiting to see how it comes out before you sign up, what the hell are you waiting for? How it comes out is up to you. Are you going to sit there and complain about the government endlessly, or until they come and cart you away, or are you going to do something about it?
Signing up for the Free State Project isn’t the only thing I did tonight. Radio talk show host Ian Bernard thought that people weren’t signing up quickly enough, so he created the First 1000 Pledge. People who sign the First 1000 Pledge agree to move to New Hampshire by December 31, 2008, as long as 999 others also agree.
Tonight I also signed the First 1000 Pledge. And I intend to move to New Hampshire whether 1,000 other people do or not.
What are you doing to work for liberty? What’s stopping you from joining the Free State Project? Do you even believe in liberty?

Great idea, but what will stop nazi Bush from arresting you are using electronicspace based weapons upon everyone there to cowtow to his orders. Or chem trails, and diseses they paln on bringing to the USA. To kill off the population. And if this would work why not SD. ND. MN where the population is less than 7 million in all 3 states. We have the soverign nations on our side here I think also. The nwo gang is up to no good very soon I am afraid and will loose our connections to communicate.

All right, enough with the conspiracy theories. Bring me facts.
Conspiracy Realist
Feb 27, 2006
Dear Michael: 7 WTC cannot have fallen down at all, let alone as it did, without being blown. That means someone blew it. Likewise the other two Towers. Start there. When you observe the level of complicity among the press and the recognized institutions in concealing this simple fact, you will see how it could remain unacknowledged so long.
People find it so unlikely anyone would undertake such an audacious plan that they ridicule the idea. There were only a couple of institutional challenges from the recognized experts and they didn’t make the network news or the papers. So people are afraid to seem like lunatics by even entertaining the idea this happened. Many can’t accept that the omnipotent Uncle Sam is willing to do them in. Others can’t live without the Socialist Freebies. Denial, very simple.
Surfing around, you will find few rational, socially-uninvolved commentators. But if you focus on the facts, infowars.com, whatreallyhappened.com and iamthewitness.com contain useful information. These are only starting points. It’s a zoo: the iamthewitness.com guy was raised Jesuit, complains that the infowars.com guy and others are part of a Zionist plot to incriminate the Catholics and conceal the real culprits. The infowars.com guy says we need to get rid of Bush to make everything better, which won’t work because it’s the structure of government that must go. All kinds of flaky stuff on these sites. There are definitely disinformation actors within the 9-11 “community”. Some of the loudest assert both true and flaky theories to keep people uninterested in the true ones. Rense.com is a good example.
But someone blew those Towers, which means someone was willing and able to do that. You want to focus on physical events, what can be proven or is too fishy to overlook. If you spend enough time, you will see what the handful of leakers have to say about what goes on inside the closed circles that are doing this. Ex-CIA agent Ray McGovern, for example.
What may happen next by the way is the smuggling in of a nuclear device via one of the ports to be run by a Dubai State-owned company. This would create an excuse to invade Iran, blame it on Arabs, and to increase control at home.
That’s about all I can tell you. Yes, the Twin Towers were blown to provide an excuse to invade Iraq and to pass the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act. Yes, “They” may do it again. Vague? Yes, because we can’t see In There from Out Here. Guessing is all we can do until these shitheads are out of the government.
Take a lesson on the consensus effect, one of many from history. Dr. Semelweiss (a Polish Jew, by the way) was convinced that if doctors would wash their hands after dissecting corpses and before touching patients, fewer of the latter would die of infections. His colleagues fought him tooth and nail. Foolish idea, they said. “What’s a germ? I can’t see a germ. Prove it!” He was both exonerated by the results after this practice was instituted and made head of the institute in which he worked. (And also died of infection from dissecting corpses. No one gets out of here alive, Dude.)
That’s why I never bother with this stuff anymore. Regular working people know the government has become dangerously insane. Poli-Sci majors and their ilk live in a false reality borne of Monastic Thought just like Socialists. If, like those unsanitary doctors, you’re too overeducated to escape the consensus effect of your overeducated peers, I can’t help you. But you said, “Bring me the facts” and I have just told you what you need to find them.
Maybe you’ll get lucky even the worst is true (Malthsian Plan) and the shit really does hit the fan. I hope you live a thousand years. But I don’t see a point in “working together” with people who aren’t up to speed on this straightforward situation, which has been known of for years.
I love to read theoretical, scholarly stuff. The unsanitary surgeons were the progenitors of today’s highly skilled surgeons. But with regard to the situation on the ground, sorry, Man, the word is “Duh!”.

I remain unconvinced that the towers were brought down by controlled demolition. There are certainly unanswered questions that need to be addressed, and if that happens, I may well change my mind on this point. But without evidence of controlled demolition, most of the conspiracy theories fall flat.
Conspiracy Realist
Feb 27, 2006
Me again, can’t resist. Buildings don’t do that, fall neatly into a pile after suffering the damage they took, particularly 7 WTC. That’s your proof. It’s obvious.
I’m open to any rational explanation as to why they’d fall like that, particularly 7 WTC. Maybe there’s some innocent explanation other than the “blow it up, attack Iraq, pass the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act” scenario. Maybe they were blown for another reason. I don’t have an ax to grind here, except that they were blown.
The part about someone being willing and able to do that, a dangerous condition, that I pointed out from the start so people could see to their safety. I am disappointed that most people with an education won’t do a simple thing like that. What a shame. I understand a desire to save the framework of Constitutional government, but to fail to warn people when this may happen again simply doesn’t cut the mustard. Not to mention what those loonies are doing overseas while we fail to unseat them.
The FSP is still a great idea and I think you should do your best to promote it. I think it helps and I thank you for your efforts. I am still considering joining, though I wonder about working with a group of people who have never heard, “If it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck …”. That people can’t get it together on this entirely straightforward matter is not encouraging.
Michael Hampton
Feb 27, 2006
Haven’t you learned anything yet?
I watched the towers fall just like everyone else did. Hell, I was supposed to be in one of them that day! If they were taken down by demolition, yes, I find that very interesting.
But unverifiable claims of “they aren’t supposed to do that” are still bullshit.
First off, neither tower — above where the planes hit — fell straight down. And it is only after those top parts collapsed, that the remainder of the towers began to come down. This is quite clear from watching the video footage with your eyes open, something you don’t seem to have done.
That’s nowhere near your typical controlled demolition.
And what the hell does any of this have to do with the Free State Project anyway?
Conspiracy Realist
Feb 27, 2006
Cutter charges going off, visible as flashes at various points before the structure began to fall, debris flying outwards, reports of explosions and Dan Rather’s observation that it looked like controlled demolitions are all certainly consistent with obvious cases of controlled demolitions. Or maybe if you looked at the 7 WTC footage again, noting that the top of the building falls symmetrically, as though what was beneath it was blown away symmetrically. A burning tank of diesel fuel blowing up does the same thing as a controlled demolition? That silly Commission has done us a big favor by positing something as ridiculous as the official story, illustrating how far from reality they and their ilk have drifted.
As for the pertinence of these comments, you said, “Bring me facts.”. I didn’t respond to the original poster, I responded to you and to your request. The original poster wondered what the pertinence of the Free State Project is to survival when an aggressive, heavily-armed government can wipe out whoever it likes, whereever they are. And if the goal is Liberty in Your Lifetime, what is the problem with alerting people to the obvious dangers of this situation, so as to develop the will to fix it?
Okay, we’re leaving it here. I didn’t write this for my benefit, I wrote it for yours and that of your readers. The FSP is a great idea. And guys like you do a GREAT job of challenging the more egregious acts of government stupidity, educating people on liberty and the Constitution (crock of shit that it is, excepting the Bill of Rights). I like you and your activist friends just fine and everyone is doing their best.
But if you’re just another Blue Pill Group, real individualists who don’t see the benefit of yet another collective hallucination aren’t going to see a point in joining. Reality is reality, Man, it isn’t the fractional part of reality you are willing to acknowledge.
Michael Hampton
Feb 27, 2006
I had to look again to be sure, and yes, I am sure: the original commenter never mentioned 9/11 at all.
“Cutter charges”? Please. That’s a theory, not a fact. And it’s not even the most likely explanation, not by a long shot.
Reality is what it is, and you’ll have to pardon me for not indulging in the same delusions as you are.
And yes, I said bring me facts. So feel free to start whenever you find some.

Feb 27, 2006
I promised you the last word but acknowledge you are correct, the original poster did not mention the 11th. That day however is the big Heads Up for what she describes, an actively aggressive technological elite who we have armed with authority and tax money.
The Internet is swimming with facts. Notably the footage of 7 WTC falling. As usual, the person I am corresponding with simply never mentions that particular building.
As I said, I don’t care what you believe. But I don’t see why I would sign the FSP contract – commit to do useful work – with a person who can pretend to himself like this and help others to do that. It’s absurd. I can’t believe adults do this.
You had the last word in your first post: “I won’t look” is what you are implicitly saying.

Of course I read it. It quotes Jones pointing out the obvious, which you say isn’t obvious. It’s like the guy is rolling a basketball on the floor, saying, “It’s ROUND Michael. See? It ROLLS like a ROUND OBJECT.” And you say the official papers record the basketball as being a cubic object, thus placing the burden for further proof on Jones.
You must be joking. 7 WTC. I rest my case.

WTC 7 looks exactly like a controlled demolition. It even appears that the demolition was likely ordered, by FDNY, or the building owner, or whoever.
But I’m glad you pointed me back at those crystal clear videos showing the north tower and south tower collapsing, because they don’t look like controlled demolition at all!
Your round ball is kind of flat. Needs more hot air, I think.
Conspiracy Realist
Feb 28, 2006
For a simple explanation as to WHY 7 WTC might have been blown, I’m all ears. As for the first two not resembling controlled demolitions, you amaze me. Even if the silly pancaking explanation were true the center columns would have been left sticking up. And all that powdered material, from concrete to PCs. It came from the widely reported explosions.
Well, you will ultimately lose this silly argument. If you aren’t simply up to something I think you will be embarrassed in retrospect. I think I have you figured out, though. You’re just into talking. You ignored 7 WTC until I provided the footage; presumably you also saw Silverstein speak. Then you said 7 WTC was clearly demolished, as though you had not previously ignored it. And maintained that the first two were not obviously blown. You seem to be making this up as you go along and are not conversant in the topic. If you were a Disinfo Dickhead probably you would have said there must have been a good reason the other two were blown. In any case the information content of your insistent commentary is again not up to snuff, like that of a thousand other self-styled leaders and pundits.
What’s in store for us next may well make these moments seem utterly inconsequential. That’s actually what concerns me; I am warning you to get clear of this mess so you can survive.
I am so horrified by what the people who blew the buildings up are doing in Iraq and abroad I am not sure I care if I am in the next disaster. They have the means and are moving forward at the moment. Only a revolt among the brass or the troops getting fed up will stop it. So long as they can continue to issue orders to move personnel and weapons, they’re gonna do that. The most the handful of people with enough of their cognitive abilities intact to perceive this can do is to split the scene, or at least warn others to. But people are so deluded I mostly don’t bother.

Wow, you really are a complete idiot. Please don’t come to the Free State, as I hate idiots, and I would guess that most of the rest of us do, too.
At the beginning, I asked for facts, and you have given nothing but theories as silly as the pancake theory. Go do some REAL investigation, and come back when you have something substantive, like a damaged piece of steel or something.
I never said I had all the answers, or even a coherent idea of what really happened. Unlike you, my mind is open on this point. And unlike you, I’m waiting for ACTUAL EVIDENCE before I believe something which is, well, quite difficult to believe.
Now go away and get the hell off my site. Don’t come back until you have some evidence that would stand up in court.
Conspiracy Realist
Feb 28, 2006
Well, why don’t you just censor me, since it’s your site, you silly oaf. Jesus. You must want everything laid out for your, like a Mom to cut up your steak. The facts pertinent to opening the door to discussion of an inside job are entirely obvious. The rest of the facts are deliberately concealed. You can’t get all of them and to get the ones that are available, you have to do work.
As for saying I’m an idiot, I suggest you practice using your skills of deduction before saying someone else lacks them. You deny there was any demolition until you see it’s obvious that 7 WTC was blown. Then you say the other two didn’t look like demolitions, suggesting you didn’t check to see what a demolition looks like, because they do look like demolitions, as one or two newscasters commented. In that footage you looked at the cutter charges going off can be seen. What did you mean, “That’s only a theory”?
And what does it mean, “Those are ‘conspiracy theories’”? Gibberish. You have been preprogrammed to not look at things because they were labeled this way.
Which is how a handful of people with titles of office, lawyers, newspapers, military personnel munitions can commit this kind of slaughter. Now we have to worry they’re going to bump off a bunch of us next, to get us into taxpaying herd so they can go invade someone else.
That’s what’s going on, you know. It’s really quite simple. To your credit, you at least want to get a stateful of people who vote for no one to have the authority to set these things in motion. (But like the Leftists, you do seem barely civilized enough to be permitted around the family dog, let alone live next door to. Your recruitment method is to call people stupid when you can barely get 2% in an election? Good luck, Einstein.)
Okay, your turn. Be a man and go back to doing something useful. If you continue you may tempt me yet again.

Glad to see someone else out there is on the same page. Yep Cutter charges were more than likely used, hell you can learn about those on the Discovery Channel, or Myth Busters. As far as the name calling and all that, whats that all about. And to the “Michael” that runs this site, you dont like being confronted or challenged, if I am wrong why would you post the following: “Now go away and get the hell off my site. Don’t come back until you have some evidence that would stand up in court.?
Whats a matter dude ? You do not handle confrontation and challenges when they do not go your way very well.
As for “Conspiracy Realist” you’ve hit the nail on the head.
