A Moral Code For The Post-Collapse World
Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,
Popular media today, including television and cinema, are rife with examples of what is often referred to as moral relativism — the use of false and fictional moral dilemmas designed to promote the rationalization of an “ends justify the means” narrative. We are also bombarded lately with entertainment depicting an endless array of “anti-heroes,” protagonists who have little to no moral code fighting antagonists who are even more evil, thus vindicating the otherwise disgusting actions of the heroes. From “24” to “Breaking Bad” to “The Walking Dead,” American minds are being saturated with propaganda selling the idea that crisis situations require a survivor to abandon conscience. In other words, in order to defeat monsters, you must become a monster.
This theme is not only unavoidable in film and TV, but also in military journals, politics, and even within liberty movement discussion.
What I see developing is an extremely dangerous philosophy that rests on the foundation that victory (or survival) is the paramount virtue and that it should be attained at any cost. Moral compass becomes a “luxury” that “true” apex survivors cannot afford, an obstacle that could eventually get one killed. I have heard some survivalists and liberty proponents in anger over the trespasses of the corrupt establishment suggest a strict adherence to the eye-for-an-eye ideology, up to and including torture, harming of the enemy’s families, and even harming the children of those who would harm us.
There is also a small but ingrained subculture within spheres of survivalism that embraces the strategy of the “prepper pirate,” essentially planning their subsistence around the idea of taking what they need from others as a form of evolutionary realism. They believe that the “survival of the fittest” is more important than the survival of the principled.
In mainstream yuppie culture, this attitude would be labeled insane. Yet urban and suburban television addicts often cheer the concept of the ends justifying the means in their favorite prime time shows and consistently argue for morality stretching policies within government (as long as their “team” is in control of the football in Washington, D.C.). I have little doubt they would adopt such thinking in the event that disaster does strike and they find themselves unprepared amid desperate conditions.
In “Understanding The Fear Of Self-Defense And Revolution,” I discussed the inevitability of self-defense against criminal oligarchy and why common methods of pacifist activism are dangerously inadequate in the face of psychopathic tyranny. When self-defense or revolution is initiated, though, the movement does not necessarily fight only for its own benefit; nor does it fight simply to eliminate the threat. Our survival as individuals is not the primary concern; the survival of the principles and truths that drive us to fight is the ultimate goal. If there is such a thing as the “greater good,” truth and honor must be the apex of that vision.
If we cast aside our principles in the name of victory, then, ironically, we have still lost everything. Our war is fought on multiple levels, from the physical to the spiritual. Lose the spiritual war, lose sight of one’s conscience, and the physical war becomes meaningless.
I believe the formation of a liberty movement code, a kind of warrior’s code, is absolutely vital to our future. Without a new kind of oath, an oath not only to the Constitution but to our own internal values, the temptation to use our darker natures against the enemy during greater trials of the soul may be too much to bear. While conscience is an inborn gift, it sometimes requires a more outward affirmation in order to remain strong. Here are some elements I believe should make up the foundation of our code.
Defense Of The Innocent
We will do everything within our power whenever possible to ensure the safety and liberty of those people around us caught in the currents of collapse. Some might claim that the unprepared are not “innocent” because their lack of vigilance contributes to the decay of our society. I would say that while the ignorant are a danger to us and themselves, we would also be contributing to the decay of our society by refusing to help others when we have the ability to do so. Someone somewhere has to end the cycle. And if that requires us to sacrifice some of our energy and the satisfaction of saying “we told you so,” then this is what we must do.
I would also point out that the defense of the innocent does not begin when our economic and social structures end. We help them now, by offering them the knowledge to prepare and organize for mutual aid. We go to our town centers, to local churches, to our lecture halls; and we openly educate those who are willing to listen — not to preach politics or to indoctrinate, but to offer practical knowledge. We give them useful tools through neighborhood watch programs and Community Preparedness Teams. We teach them today how to defend themselves, their families and their property and how to invest in survival, so that tomorrow they will not feel compelled to become part of the problem, but part of the solution.
If we let our distaste for the unaware lead us into an attitude of “us versus them” against our own neighbors, then we will miss every chance to strengthen our communities. Our purpose is to bring others up, not to stand in pious judgment as they fall down.
We Prepare To Offer Aid, Even To Those We Think Might Not Deserve It
Many survivalists and preppers may scoff at this idea, but they would not be looking at the bigger picture. Offering aid to your community serves not only to help them, but to help you in the long run. Look at it this way; when FEMA arrives in a disaster-struck city or county, its “authority” means little to the shell-shocked citizenry. What does matter to them is that FEMA brings food, water and sometimes shelter. FEMA does this in its own sweet time and often allows numerous people to die before the aid is given, but it still maintains its authority over a region simply because there is no other alternative.
You must offer that alternative.
Imagine what would have happened if during the nightmare of Hurricane Katrina, while FEMA was lounging around watching the carnage and even denying access to private institutions offering supplies, New Orleans residents were greeted with liberty movement teams defying government mandate? What if liberty advocates from across Louisiana and the nation had marched right over the top of FEMA, escorted those trapped in the Superdome to a safe place, and gave them food and water? The movement raised millions of dollars for Ron Paul’s campaign (twice!), why couldn’t we do the same to save lives?
Imagine if we were to prove that FEMA is an unnecessary and frivolous organization ready for the dustbin? Imagine if we were to prove that communities can provide their own security and aid without the state, as Oath Keepers did in Ferguson, Missouri?
Even at a local level, this methodology could mean the difference between freedom and tyranny. Stockpiles of grain bought directly from independent farms can be had for very little money and strategically placed for use in future calamities. Affordable water filtration could prevent disease and dehydration for thousands. A team of engineers could solve waste and grid-down dilemmas. A team of well-trained security personnel could prevent looting, rape and murder. Imagine if the catastrophe the elites wish to engineer was mitigated or thwarted by the very people the disaster was meant to target? Imagine how much satisfaction that would give you.
Our Actions Are Inspired By Conscience, Not Rage
To fight in self-defense is entirely moral, but there are lines that, if crossed, destroy our moral high ground. Without the moral high ground, we become no better than the elites we seek to remove from our lives. This means that we do not harm people unless they are attempting to harm us. We punish criminals, not their families and not their children. We do not torture, not only because it is a useless tactic with little concrete proof of effectiveness, but because it is a morally reprehensible psychopathic act designed to fulfill a sick desire for sadistic power. It is not who we are.
When we fight, we fight in the knowledge that we have first and foremost protected our moral foundation. We see those who promote moral ambiguity and moral relativism as an element destructive to the purpose of liberty. Winning means nothing and survival means nothing, unless we endeavor to deserve life.
We Do Not Run Unless We Plan To Return
In an asymmetric revolution, there is rarely such a thing as a “front line” or a piece of ground that must be defended at all costs. That said, successful asymmetric warfare requires that the enemy pay an overwhelming price for every attack he initiates. This means that said revolt must always be aggressive, never relenting, always striking, and resting or retreating only to stage a more effective counter. Every time a totalitarian system advances without consequence, it generates political, social, psychological and tactical momentum. Without the courage to engage such advances, revolt is impossible. Fear leads to moral rationalizations. The fearful cannot adequately defend themselves, let alone defend others; and, once again, the moral high ground is lost.
Zero Tolerance For Piracy And Criminality Within
Prepper pirates and others on the very fringes of the survival movement who seek to thrive at the expense of others are not only criminal according to natural law, but they are also a blight on the reputation of the liberty movement itself. Our principles will require us to stamp out such people as a priority. Those who would viciously impose upon the innocent as a preplanned strategy are not redeemable. Even if they claim to hate the same elites we fight against, the enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend. Prepper pirates are rabid dogs who should be put down.
We Are Professionals, And Guardians Never Satisfied With Half Measures
We carry ourselves as quiet professionals. We strive to represent the best potential of what the liberty movement has to offer. There is no problem we cannot solve and no opponent too large. We do not know the meaning of the word “impossible.” We operate best under pressure and during disaster. We move to disrupt crisis before it begins when possible, and we refuse to stand back as spectators when crisis does develop. We work diligently to master all knowledge and training that could be used to achieve our goal, which is a free, prosperous and independent citizenry. We do not seek leadership over others; we only wish to teach others how to lead themselves. We will not stop until this goal is accomplished or until we are no longer breathing. We are not mutable or flexible where tyranny is concerned. We are entirely uncompromising. We are stubborn bastards, here to drive oligarchs even crazier than they already are. We are here to undo them and their treacherous world. And in this mission, we find ultimate comfort and peace.

If you are having recurring Alamo fantasies, stop it and dig an escape tunnel.
Evade, hit-and-run, and live to fight another day on your terms.
Here's hoping you're right, capitallosses.
Death to counterfeiters, child molesters and looters.
Start there first when you reclaim society.
I only see movies in which the male sacrifices himself for what he is told to be the common good. In a movie like Fury e.g Males are competing to throw themselves on hand grenades and get killed for the greater good. No survival at all and much more dangerous. It is always the mentality of sacrificial animal in men which is needed for slaughter on a massive scale.
Survivors at all cost avoid wars.
What's wrong with 24???? Loved that show! This guy is way out of context. Have to love intellectuals.... . Got one for a kid.
That would explain Congress.
"but it still maintains its authority over a region simply because there is no other alternative."
No. Because of military fire power and threats of violence.
The first thing Brandon Smith has written for months that I can agree with.
I just had a thought Brandon and I was wondering if you could help me out on this one.
Morals seem like Judeo-Christian mind viruses to me, at least the Western variety of morals. Mind virusues can be hard to shake. I'm not sure that morals as we know them in the West exist in genuine total war... or in Eastern cultures.
I mean, forget about firebombing Dresden or even things like employing human shields and human bombs for a minute. The Viet Cong went so far as to bait their enemy into absolutely unloading on "innocent" villages in their own country in order to positively ensure non-collaboration. In fact that was their tactic. They won. How do morals, and various flavors thereof play into that? Would you be willing to bait your enemy into unloading on say, a town in your own state? If not, I believe it's not total war. Without total war, an insurgency, moral or otherwise, could and probably will fail.
Dude. There will be no post-apocalyptic world worth living for. Zero infrastructure. Let that sink in. Zero. When the masses realize their iPhones will NEVER turn on again, their Prius won't ever turn on again, and there is no one left to deliver their pizza, you will see mass suicides. I guarantee it. There will be no need for a moral code. There will be nothing left worth living for. Sorta like hell on earth, I guess. Your only best bet is becoming a child of God. If you don't believe 'that stuff,' then ignore that last sentence. Good luck, buddy. You're gonna need it. By the boat load.
Let the iCrap junkies off themselves.
Dude, this is Fight Club.

Earlier, was feelin a bit down after reading some of the most atrocious horsewash muck and just plain ol ugly evil lies and dis/mis-information that is seeping in like a wicked venom from hell by all these newbie asshat warin clowns that have infiltrated the good ship ZH. Suddenly, spirit uplifted this soul to get off the arse and come to the communications tower to transmit these messages. Anyone that does not realize there are far greater forces at work than the evil here, is to bad to sadly mistakin. Stupid fools think life is only about the 3-d experience, or material things like the moneygod and all it's entrails.
Stupidity is beyond belief, when it is unbelievable how stupid really is.
Lately, it is teets deep in the worst snazitripe ever seen on these pages. The untruth is sickening, and seemingly uncontrolled. The ugly babylonians have invaded ZH, and stange as it is, few intellectual fighters have stepped up to the plate to stop them. We seem to even have lost some that were on the spot with good and truthful light to the darkness of hate, anger, and evil warmonger for the money god supporters. Remember love, for it loves you.
Everybody knows that there is only one thing at the bottom of all that muckity-muck, EVIL! No two shoots about it. Evil sucks, and it is on the rise for a last gasp as it squirms in it's death bed. God is gonna cut you down and that day is coming just as fast as you push it forward with your evil agendas of wars for profit, plans of world domination, EVIL SUPREMACY, and population elimination. In Creations view, you are all the worst vile from the snakes arse to ever come along history's path of life. ALL your scatology is beyond unbelievable. Barely tolerable to the enlightened. The drive to be ugly, evil, and really stupid is outstanding. Hail, ignorance!

Another thing. Woke up today and the messages coming in strong were, we ALL have to stop blaming Jews for the EVIL that is running rampant. They are just as much victims and infected with the puss of evil untruth from the deceptions of the snake like so many others are.
Division is the dis-ease all are imprisoned by. Again, at the bottom of it all is EVIL! Like spirit, it has no color, or any human attributes. IT IS JUST EVIL! Now, what faces and different colored suits these forms of evil ware and hide behind, can be identified but truly, all baring trees are known by their fruit. In the end, there can only be One.
For now, there is EVIL run amok. No masking it either, for each are well known. Those who waste everyone's time spewing ANYTHING but goodness, are doing just that. Wasting time speeding towards their untimely deaths. In the consciousness of the world, those that propagate evil in a truth forum are already walking dead. It is only a matter of Karmic time until they ALL meet the reaper that walks with them every day.
Now, wanna see something funny? Watch this!
VACCCINES ARE DEADLY POISIONS THAT ARE BEING USED BY THE BIG NAZI PHARMACUTICAL COMPANIES(BOSH&CO) TO KILL OFF MANKIND. THEY ARE ALL PART OF THE EVIL POPULATION ELIMINATION PROGRAM. THEY ARE ALSO BEING SPRAYED ON ALL MANKIND TO KILL THEM ALL OFF ALSO. NO ONE ESCAPES THAT WHICH FALLS FROM THE CHEMTRAILS. BABYLONMS SPRAYS EVIL IN THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT. THE EVIL BABYLONIAN GOVTS HAVE HAD THE ADUACITY TO MAKE LEGAL THE CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL WARFARE ON THE UNSUSPECTING AND UNKNOWING WORLD POPULATIONS.

Moar and moar horror stories are coming out from innocent folks that believed the lies and disinformation to make them take vaccines. Liars and deceivers so the nazi pharmaceutical companies can make profits and hurt and kill innocent peoples world-wide. Dam them to hell.
Moar and moar poor harmed unknowing uniformed innocents are speaking their truth to power and folks, it is horrible to hear how so many thinking they were doing the right thing because the dr said so, or the lame stream propaganda media brainwashed them to think so, have been so seriously harmed by these EVIL hellacious vaccines from the the EVIL profiteering things. Many now tell the wicked and very saddening tales of carnage after taking the poisonous meant to kill and maim, vaccines.
It really breaks the heart to see yet another way the US govt evil things are killing off everyone they can while they are in power. Heck, they are really seriously planning that nuklear war and then you know what happens after that? Yup! ALL you flunkies of satans evil, and ALL you kow pokin troll minions of hell will also see yourselves and families killed off. The spirit will assure that you totally know how horrendous your crimes against humanity have been in your last breaths, only you know what? By then it will be far too late to repent, or to receive forgiveness.
All you that believe in life after death, or in other words, are spiritual, be ye dark star dancers, or righteous men and women of the true Creator of righteousness and Love, KNOW THE TRUTH. No manor of ignorance or denial or blasphemous meanderings here will EVER change that fact. All this is well engraved in the Stone of time and NOTHING, even total non-existence of ANY KIND of biological life forms at all, or non-recognition of this fact, will ever change that either. With, or without life to cognate, the Law is the Law in ALL universes, and planes of existence. NO Escape!!
OK, so here is the meat and potatoes.:.
The junta govt in the Ukraine is getting it's ares kicked! Yayyyyy! The chickentards are running and there is no place for the rats of hell to go. God has a plan. And hey all you war mongers of evil and hells moneygod, fark you! All righteously upright people cheer for the good guys and NOW HEAR THIS:~~~>things and tolls of hell, YOU ARE NOT THE GOOD GUYS! You and your ilk are cut from the same rancid cloth of evil, hell, death, and destruction. EVERYTHING ANTI-CHRIST!!!
What's the Christ you say? AWARENESS!!!! THE TRUE UNADULTRATED UNFILTERED LIGHT! God's Truth!!!
Here is an example of truth. Check it out for yourself below and ask, which side of history are you on? The good guys that comprise 97.7% of the worlds population? Or are you on the evil side that only propagates death, and destruction so your bankster puppet masters can profit, and then eventually throw all of you out to the angry guerrilla maddogs of vengeance when the multitudes come for you as they are in Debaltsevo right now as this is being written. Truth marches on. Evil is going down. The band wagon is justa getting the go on.

ALL YOU TOAD SHATS TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING THERE RIGHT NOW AND ASK YOUR HEART, DO YOU WANT TO END UP EMBARRESED TO SURRENDER YOUR ARMS, OR WORSE DEAD LIKE THESE EVIL NATO AND SUCKER MERCENARIES ARE THERE NOW? All those cia, mercenaries, fbi, special forces suckers for the moneygod banksters are actively being sought out for testimonials in the world courts later. They will not escape, unless it is self-inflicted death that takes them first. Even scarier, the porky nazi fascist govt in Kiev may try to nuke them all first. Dead men tell no tales. Suckers! Sacrificed for babylon!!! Troll excrement, see your future too?
Check it out below. Post comments there and make the world of righteous people's voices heard as ONE.
DEATH TO BABYLON!!!
DEATH TO THE BANKSTERS THAT CONTROL THE WORLD USING THE MONEY GOD TO PAY THE SUCKERS TO BE EVIL!!!

Color, race, religion, politics, lies, deceptions, false flags, money god, are all of one thing. EVIL!!! Stand it down, and stand up for goodness, Love/God, Righteousness, human values, your families, peaceful existence without the moneyfreaking god, and the natural way towards LIFE. Not death and destruction so THEY, not you, can profit. You are all too precious and worth far far moar that all the tons of gold, moneygod, and what ever else man considers valuable. Your human values and the Love you create every day are what is real richness in this 3-d world. Do not be stupid and disbelieve this. Embrace that truth, and walk like an Egyptian!

A special note to you babble wookie fear propagators and mental psychobabble yardarms of EVIL that try to instill fear by spewing your filthy stinking pshchotripe here about the boogie man coming in the middle of the night to get everyone. Just because you child farking english molesters are illegally invading and stealing all our privacy to cause a ruckus on the ship, and think you know something special. FARK YOU! If you think you want to come to ANYONES residence for speaking their truth to power, a RIGHT God gave ALL mankind, and want to harm or murder good folks for that, well then prepare to be met at the gate for your quick escort to hell. Hold hands with Anubis. In some parts of the world, the Sheriffs are well aware of the babylonian corporate takeover and have enlisted some 5,000 to 15,000 deputized men to be called up in any kind of constitutional emergency in many many counties across the lands. When any one of you arse farking child pornographers come across any state or county line, you will be seen and DUEly noted and then further appropriately dealt with for treason, and murders of innocent people. Good folks who simply want to be left alone to pursue their happiness, and enjoy the rights given by God. It will be the Omnipotent Omnipresent Onmipowerful that will strike you all down. The shear numbers of aware and awakened people to your evil are growing every day. It is only a matter of quickening time until they are rampaging up your driveways, and digging in deep to go fight in the tunnels.

You think the house cleaning in the Ukraine is something? Wait until you unleash the double-edged Kraken of Justice, and Truth. Joseph shall be revealed in the Temple. Behind every rock and blade of grass will come the pent up vengeance of many souls when you stupidly fire the first shot, or violate the first innocents right to be free from tyranny and EVIL! Too much innocent blood has already been spilled for Evil! Anyone that goes against Common Law, is EVIL. Any one that violates the Universal Law will be severely punished in this world, and for sure in the next. You have been warned. Choose well, said the old Knight, history does not mock the truth.
PS: Trix are for kidz. Little red arrows are only for satanic egos, and mean little to the truthful Light in the Day. A better point of contention is made by holding up a candle, to the Sun.

All the wealth we know of is based on gains steamed against the moral code.
As the core of the enterprise is standing the guy with the weapon as argument for to do so.
If the house of cards relying on the god forbidden advantages breaks down, the guy with the gun is the last resort of the idea it was build upon.
Giving hope that the "ingenious" principle of construction will survive.
We are driven to the question not only to give up alien governance, the Fed, the sinister order behind the scenes, but to abandon the joke of the patriarchal resolving sphere.
And there are not that many I see ready to take up.
u some sorta lesbos feminazi?
"to abandon the joke of the patriarchal resolving sphere"
I'm very well in the picture such ideas spoil the fun at the fight club here - go ahead!

Moral compass becomes a “luxury” that “true” apex survivors cannot afford, an obstacle that could eventually get one killed.

WTF?
Majority Rules means that Individual Rights are gone and with it Individualism & Self Determination. You also lose the arts, Creativity, Invention, and Entrepreneurship.
But worse, when the means justifies the Ends... anythings goes, starting with the US Constitution, Individual Rights, State of Justice, Government by the People, and you install Dictators or Tyrants.
In the Name of Crisis we can justify anything. Maybe we have to kill the elderly or the infirm since they don't add benefit to the government or economy? Maybe we kill off unskilled workers at some point since they are replaceable? Maybe we machine gun down people with Ebola in Texas to prevent the strain on the National Health Infrastructure? Maybe we nuke part of the USA as a quick, effective solution to disease, insurrection, opposing military force of jets and bombers, or an opposing force with access to weapons of mass destruction to back up virulent demands for secession?
The mind boggles. Torture your brother, send him to a secret prison to "disappear" him forever. Suppress a social movement demanding secession, but kidnapping men and women as a warning.
Dirty Wars Spring to Mind. Look it up.
Yeah, right.
Galveston, Texas suffers "catastropic" damage from a hurricane. Nothing in the news about disastrous FEMA response.
New Orleans suffers "catastropic" damage from a hurricane. Years of stories of inept government intervention. Pretty sure there are still areas of damage.
The difference? The people.
There were a few FEMA stories coming out of Galveston -
The ones I recall were about FEMA blocking people from rebuilding -
Some poor fucker with not enough insurance doing the best he can to rebuild a broken home - getting some help from friends, neighbors and family - but FEMA filing a legal action forcing him to stop all repairs.
Last I heard (over a year ago) he told them to fuck off and was going ahead and fixing his house and FEMA had backed down.
It made the - "We're from the government & we're here to help you" seem more real.
"Horror and moral terror are your friends. If they are not, then they are enemies to be feared. They are truly enemies!"........"You have to have men who are moral... and at the same time who are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling... without passion... without judgment... without judgment! Because it's judgment that defeats us."
REALITY:
- The luckiest, fittest, smartest, with the capability for ruthlessness survive – always have – always will
- Resources are finite and therefore ownership is a zero sum game
- The strong always take from the weak – if they do not then that is a sign of weakness and a competitor will take from the weak and will usurp the formerly strong dropping them into weakling status
- Humans tend to group by clan or on a broader basis by nationality (strength in numbers bonded by culture) and they compete with others for resources
- Competition always exist (I want it all!) but it becomes fiercer when resources are not sufficient to support competing clans or nations
- Tribal societies understand these dynamics because they cannot go to the grocery store for their food – so they are intimately aware of the daily battle to feed themselves and the competition for scare land and resources
- Modern affluent societies do not recognize this dynamic because for them resources are not scarce – they have more than enough.
- One of the main reasons that resources are not scarce in affluent societies is because they won the battle of the fittest (I would argue that luck is the precursor to all other advantages – affluent societies did not get that way because they started out smarter --- rather they were lucky – and they parlayed that luck into advances in technology… including better war machines)
- As we have observed throughout history the strong always trample the weak. Always. History has always been a battle to take more in the zero sum game. The goal is to take all if possible (if you end up in the gutter eating grass the response has been – better you than me – because I know you’d do the same to me)
- And history demonstrates that the weak – given the opportunity – would turn the tables on the strong in a heartbeat. If they could they would beat the strong into submission and leave them bleeding in the streets and starving. As we see empire after empire after empire gets overthrown and a new power takes over. Was the US happy to share with Russia and vice versa? What about France and England? Nope. They wanted it all.
- Many of us (including me) in the cushy western world appear not to understand what a villager in Somalia does – that our cushy lives are only possible because our leaders have recognized that the world is not a fair place --- Koobaya Syndrome has no place in this world --- Koombaya will get you a bullet in the back --- or a one way trip to the slum.
- Religious movements have attempted to change the course of human nature --- telling us to share and get along --- they have failed 100% - as expected. By rights we should be living in communes --- Jesus was a communist was he not? We all know that this would never work. Because we want more. We want it all.
- But in spite of our hypocrisy, we still have this mythical belief that mankind is capable of good – that we make mistakes along the way (a few genocides here, a few there... in order to steal the resources of an entire content so we can live the lives we live) --- ultimately we believe we are flawed but decent. We are not. Absolutely not.
- But our leaders --- who see through this matrix of bullshit --- realize that our cushy lives are based on us getting as much of the zero sum game as possible. That if they gave in to this wishy washy Koombaya BS we would all be living like Somalians.
- Of course they cannot tell us what I am explaining here --- that we must act ruthlessly because if we don’t someone else will --- and that will be the end of our cushy lives. Because we are ‘moral’ --- we believe we are decent – that if we could all get along and share and sing Koombaya the world would be wonderful. We do not accept their evil premises.
- So they must lie to us. They must use propaganda to get us onside when they commit their acts of ruthlessness.
- They cannot say: we are going to invade Iraq to ensure their oil is available so as to keep BAU operating (BAU which is our platform for global domination). The masses would rise against that making things difficult for the PTB who are only trying their best to ensure the hypocrites have their cushy lives and 3 buck gas (and of course so that the PTB continue to be able to afford their caviar and champagne) …. Because they know if the hypocrites had to pay more or took at lifestyle hit – they’d be seriously pissed off (and nobody wants to be a Somalian)
- Which raises the question --- are we fools for attacking the PTB when they attempt to throw out Putin and put in a stooge who will be willing to screw the Russian people so that we can continue to live large? When we know full well that Putin would do the same to us --- and if not him someone more ruthless would come along and we’d be Somalians.
- Should we be protesting and making it more difficult for our leaders to make sure we get to continue to lead our cushy lives? Or should we be following the example of the Spartans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZeYVIWz99I
- In a nutshell are our interests as part of the western culture not completely in line with those of our leaders – i.e. if they fail we fail – if they succeed we succeed.
- Lee Kuan Yew is famous for saying ‘yes I will eat very well but if I do so will you’ Why bite the hand that whips the weak to make sure you eat well.... If you bite it too hard it cannot whip the weak --- making you the weak --- meaning you get to feel the whip….
- Nation… clan … individual…. The zero sum game plays out amongst nations first … but as resources become more scarce the battle comes closer to home with clans battling for what remains…. Eventually it is brother against brother ….
- As the PTB run out of outsiders to whip and rob…. They turn on their own…. As we are seeing they have no problem with destroying the middle class because it means more for them… and when the weak rise against them they have no problem at all deploying the violent tactics that they have used against the weak across the world who have attempted to resist them
- Eventually of course they will turn against each other…. Henry Kissinger and Maddy Albright bashing each other over the head with hammers fighting over a can of spam – how precious!
re "The strong always take from the weak..."
It's difficult to know were to start in demolishing your sophormoric cut&paste "analysis".
Suffice it to say: you sound like the type who - given half a chance, with no-one looking - would snatch a popsicle outta the mouth of a 5-year old.
Good response. I was going to say "I like to target old white men for sexual ass-play in dark alleys" since I think I have all the power I need to screw him and take his jewelry". Just joking. I probably have 4 friends that want to join me. One is a woman that has lots of curiosity about ass-play with helpless men. Just kidding. I have about 10 guys they are all fun and like to drink, 3 of them are woman that have experience with ass-play with old white guys that are vulnerable...
lol, dafuq man ....
Nah -- I am the type who recoginizes that koombaya thumping fucking socialist morons who believe that humans are fundamentally good and kind are fools. That the vile acts we constantly commit are abherrations.
We are not good (what is good anyway?). We are no different than the jackal or hyena or lion that would tear the fetus out of an antelope when hungry.
Is that evil? What is evil.
We, like other animals, are hardwired to survive. The difference between us and them is that we have learned to harness fossil fuels to make survival much easier.
Watch what happens as the fossil fuel age concludes. We will rip each other to pieces.
Could be we have it all wrong about African countries. It seems that many do banking business for the united kingdom.
"any of us (including me) in the cushy western world appear not to understand what a villager in Somalia does"
- "According to the CIA, Somalia has maintained a healthy informal economy, based mainly on livestock, remittance/money transfer companies and telecommunications.[3][29]" I just heard a similar statement about Western Africa Community on Focus 2000, PBS Series
- Somalia? "In the late 19th century, through a succession of treaties with these kingdoms, the British and Italians gained control of parts of the coast and established the colonies of British Somaliland and Italian Somaliland.[17][18]"...wow, Money Transfer Companies? "According to the CIA, Somalia has maintained a healthy informal economy, based mainly on livestock, remittance/money transfer companies and telecommunications.[3][29]" "major world supplier of frankincense and myrrh.[202]" "energy industry representatives believe that the nation contains substantial unexploited reserves of oil.[214]"
Here is a good link on Corruption that you probably agree with: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-02-16/hsbc-bank-secret-origins-launde...
- South Sudan? "In 2010, Sudan was considered the 17th-fastest-growing economy[105] in the world and the rapid development of the country largely from oil profits even when facing international sanctions was noted by The New York Times in a 2006 article.[106]" "..secession of South Sudan, which contained over 80 percent of Sudan's oilfields" "The People's Republic of China is a major trading partner, and owns a 40 percent share in the Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Company.[111] The country also sells Sudan small arms, which have been used in military operations such as the conflicts in Darfur and South Kordofan.[112]" ...(so big powers will divide the profits)
- Mali? Yeah, I missed this one. I need to pull the data.
well...at least you didn't call it "social darwinism"and like it or not, the hard facts are this, we have these cushy lives from 2 things:
1) the ability to pull dead dino shit out of the ground and burn it for fuel.
2) printing presses and key strokes for currency.

It all really depends on the circumstances, I might give a helping-hand or I might back-stab somebody just as likely, it all depends.
I think we should not bind our selves to 'principles', 'morality', 'philosophy' etc. just use Logic and Gut-Feeling and decide situation to situation what to do.
Making all your decisions based on some overarching Modus Operandi will get you down the rabbit hole sooner or later, especially when others figure you out and learn how to take advantage of you.
If you want to survie DON'T BE PREDICTABLE!
A pod of killer whales can reliably predict that no whale in their pod will attack any member inside the pod. It's one of those codes of conduct that ensure that a cooperative offensive/defensive circle remains impregnable. If you are able to build a predictable trust in the right circle you provide you and yours with better survival options. Helping or hurting those outside your trust circle, well like you say, it all depends.

PS. of the 7 Samurai only 3 survive .. so it's a piss poor reference anyway, at least if you try to make a point about surviving. Well "The 7 Samurai" are a good Anti-pattern for surviving just try not to be like a samurai be more like a peasant, strength in numbers and let others fight it out while you stand on the sidelines.
After watching it I thought to my self "hmmm so what exactly changed ??? ... hmmmm nothing! they should have just stayed home"
Wikipedia -
"Kambei and Shichir?ji observe that they have survived once again. Afterwards, the three surviving samurai watch the villagers joyfully planting the next crop. Having lost their comrades, they reflect on the fact that it is the farmers who are the true victors."
You missed the point of the movie. Kambei states that he "never wins a fight", meaning, he doesn't expect to win, he expects the people he protects to win. He's not in the fight for himself, he's in the fight to do the right thing. I guess sociopaths have a hard time grasping why someone would put themselves at risk for others.
.. and next year a new band of Thugs will come around the Village or the Feudal Lord will double the taxes .. all you can do is to .. yes what exactly ?
All you can do is to look after your self then at least even if you die you will know you did your best otherwise like those Samurai you will sacrifice your self for nothing because those people who you have helped will need help again(as they can't protect themselves) and they will more likely than not die or get robbed or raped anyway just later .. so ultimately your sacrifice achieves nothing.
The hardest part of the Zombie Apocalypse will be pretending I'm not excited.
i could tell you stories of senior officers who saw something coming 20 years ago and planned accordingly. I could tell you the simple wisdowm imparted to ne by a Major 15 years ago. But you wouldn't believe me.
I could point out the militarization of our police, the purchase by DHS of .40 hollow point and MRAPs, NDAA,the spying by NSA and draw a conclusion. But you wouldn't believe me.
I could tell you of a dry run by two individuals to destroy a minor power station executed with the precision of a Ranger fire team. I could point out inadequacies in our SCADA software. I could point out how bad things would get in a hotter than average summer when rolling brownouts and EBT cards reading '0' meant Ferguson looked like a church get=together. And you wouldn't believe me.
I could tell you that fully 25% of our population is on mood-altering prescrption of some kind, that folks have less than 7 days of food in their house per person in their house, and that 90% of our popultion has no idea how to survive more than their next trip to the grocery store. And you wouldn't wantto believe me.
Our "culture" such as it is, can been seen quite clearly.
Believe.
after the 4th day, because it will not happen for every one the next day of the weekly grocery trip, it will comes middle of the weekly stock: when you live in a city, the exit road are locked down, no truck for delivery, cities are the most elaborated deathtrap ever designed.
Stockpiles of Grain? Sure thing, now you just need to grind it all into flour and bake it into bread. Not that hard for a couple loaves, but turning an entire grain bin into bread to feed thousands would take a lot longer than you think.
Somebody is getting ethical pains at being part of the Oligarchy game; and calling "truth" by that other name like in American Sniper; aka "I don't know WHY I'm here but I know I have to kill him before he kills me".
Personal truths become the leitmotiv to hide larger lies in pseudo heroic cries.
Darwin's theory perverted to suit manifest destiny delusion of an imperial urge played out in technology fed shock and awe surge.
When pox amerikana finally bites the big ol' fat asse$ on the ....ass, the rest of the planet will be munching popcorn and applauding as Chicago, New Yawk, LA, Houston and the rest of Slumville goes up in flames. The regime change game is something that humanity is looking forward to after having experienced the wanton slaughter that Mercans have waged since the first eurotrash genocided the native American Peoples and turned North America into the anus of planet Earth.
Yes it is personal...how could it not be?
C'mon damn it...collapse already!
Everybody I talk to now hates America for some reason, funny enough some hate it because it's "Capitalist" or "Imperialist" or "Fascist" or "Socialist" or yes even "Communist" .. I tell you everybody and their dog now hates America you literally have achieved what no other country has achieved before gone from the #1 loved country to the #1 hated country in about 20 years, it's not a good place to be where everybody in the World hates you, when you stumble and fall people will just point fingers and laugh instead of helping you up.
Aaah, the bravery of keyboard jockeys. Stop complaining and be specific about what you want. Generalizations are annoying because they do not solve anything. Your no different from the former hippies, complain about the world and do nothing about it.
Stone Age meets Steel Age...No contest.
Get over it.
Brandon asks me to have a moral conscience (or code) with those who have shown themselves incapable of reciprocating toward me?
Fat chance.
And I can only imagine that your sitting in a comfy home somewhere, using technology that some great person has produced for you to use with some possible failings of their own, that you might look down upon.
"You didn't build that!"...again? Its boring and untrue.
That "great person" who built my laptop is practically a slave in China and a large part of my home was built by myself and what I didn't do I paid for.
What, you live under a bridge?
Then you become what you hate about your enemy/adversary.
I can assure you, my enemies are not sitting around contemplating the finer points of morality or ethics in their raping, stealing and murdering.
Neither will I when doing what must be done.
A pretty dreamy article. The idea that in the event of The Event we must band together means one of two things initially: 1) the banding will center around existing government institutions; or 2) people previously self-motivated will become good samaritans and team players. The reality will more likely be like this: we take care of ourselves and ours first, and carefully and tentatively reach out to others, testing the waters for safety.
As far as Katrina goes, a bunch of liberty people would have been turned back at every entry and intersection by the existing government institutions.
I've never read such a mass of shit in my life.
but you kept reading until you done... then..why...?
"Zero Tolerance For Piracy And Criminality Within"
I think the author put in that section to keep defensive circles safe from folks like you.
I am really tired of posters on ZH using all encompassng statements like "I've never read such a mass of shit in my life" without one syllable providing the reason/or justification for that type of remark. To me, having one without the other smacks of intellectual laziness or a deep seated bias of some kind (not to mention trollism).
We come into this world swathed in blood naked and screaming. We may go out in the same way. I for one will not do anything to survive but to insure the survival of my granddaughters there is no limit. Understand this and we may pass each other through the chaos without killing each other.
I think I could coexist and codefend in the same defensive circle with someone who views it this way.
This guy has taken McCarthy's The Road too literally.
It's easy to grin, When your ship comes in, And you've got the stock market beat.
But the man worthwhile, Is the man who can smile, When his shorts are too tight in the seat.
No doubt in my mind. I'm gonna need a lot moar ammo.
I wonder what part of "veneer" Brandon doesn't grasp?
Being an apex predator has and will always be a deadly serious business.
The world is getting more Anti-Christ as the end approaches. Just look around it's like we live in Bizarro World. This is not unexpected if you are a Christian and have read the Bible. Here's one such passage from 2 Timothy Chapter 3.
"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God — having a form of godliness but denying its power."
Wrong. Religiosity does not equal morality. ZERO CORELLATION.
The article would have benefitted from a sprinkling of:
- proletariat
- workers
- revolución
...to offset the non-judicious use of "elites".
Masking anti-capitalism with survivalism.
ZH shows its Russian roots again.
The author is using a different paradigm than Marxist theology. Instead he is framing the article in elitist theory.
Elitist theory is a fully fleshed out theory of human economic and political action, that eschews the "class" theme of Marxists reasoning for the idea, in any group 10% will rise to the top to run the show. Elitist theory doesn't stratify the human population or accept the presumption of socialist ideology.
Whatever happened to the bloodless revolution known as democracy. Royalty and phrases like, "your honor" need to be eliminated from public servants(politicians & bureaucrats).
We have some major problems:
1) Government is living like royalty and is not managed very well.
2) Many are being displaced by technology.
3) Corporations with their tax exemption structures.
Frankly, I think a kind of techno-communism is humanity's future at some point, why, look at how labor is being displaced by automation.
I do not believe in conspiracy theories, as I have worked for many a clueless person in my lifetime with seemingly high level knowledge, but still could not get out of the way of their own human nature, "greed", which is in each and every one of us to some extent.
It is clear to me that ethics needs to catch up with the available technology. The problem with survivalist nut jobs that have conspiracy theories is that they do not seem to acknowledge how technology has in fact benefitted their life, and by looking after their own skin are merely becoming as greedy and selfish as the people they claim to despise.
Yeah, things kinda suck, but their are creative ways to make ends meet. Focus on being democratic, but believe in some goddamn christian ideals(and I am speaking as an agnostic). This simply means following the ten commandments and not coveting your neighbors possessions.
The thing that bothers me most about christian's, is the whining about beheading, but then turning a blind eye to drone strikes. Sorry people, perception is reality.
It is like a discussion that I listened too, of slavoj zizek's. It entailed not really imagining that xyz leader deep down is a great guy and blah, blah, blah. No, look at the deed, and say "No, that is what you did. - Perception is reality.
Really though, we need democracy more then ever, not angry mobs or survivalists.
I'm prepping for the gun and knife fight at the closest liquor store for booze and smokes. They will hold more value in the short term than gold and silver.
You can avoid the rush (and the fight) if you just get them NOW. :-)
Quote from text: "If we cast aside our principles in the name of victory, then, ironically, we have still lost everything."
Even if once abandoned, principles may be reacquired only if one is still alive to pursue them. Therefor, life must be paramount, for without life, principles are valueless.
Probably a view some atheists would take. For them the end of temporal life is the end of their existence, so under that philosophy performing heinous acts to preserve ones own life would make sense. Those who believe they continue to exist after temporal death would logically embrace a morality that recognizes things that are worse than temporal death. Spiritual believers might subscribe to a principle like "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
Thats interesting. I saw Mormon philosophy in it - sort of
I always enjoyed thos scenes in the wagon train movies where the preacher who won't pick up a gun to save the train under attack but stands there exorting to the injuns that we are "Brothers in Christ" gets 3 arrows poking out of him with the dramatic one through the adams apple.

Multiple inane posts.
Moral code? What have you been living by up to this point? Do you have situational ethics that you'll look at what is going on around you and change your morals based upon what you want at the time? I've got news for you ... if you do that, it's not called morals, its called being amoral.
I'll be the same in the future as I am now. I don't need some daydreamer thinking of a "New Way". From my experience following people with a new way usually leads to everyone drinking poisoned grape koolaid. And I fully expect that the future will be the same as the present - most people will have no idea what they believe in and will do whatever comes to mind at the time. This is why we are in the situation we are currently, society does not allow morals to be taught at any level.
And if you ever saw the movie Seven Samurai, or the American remake the Magnificent Seven, you'd realize that the point of the movie was some serious bad guys made the committment to correct their past mistakes by fighting (and dieing) for something greater than themselves. It doesn't quite fit anything you're talking about.
The Magnificent Seven yes they were criminals but not the Seven Samurai. They were out of work soldiers who were looking for a cause to fight for. BIG difference!
Soldiers fighting for a government that is involved in taxation or other crime? Sounds the same to me (barring any argument of moral relativism).
I believe what the author is talking about is the difference between egoism and self interest rightly understood.
The egoist is essentially a sociopath, seeking his or her own interests above that of everyone else. Egoists need big government to temper their innate Thrasymachus.
The human hearted person who practices self interest rightly understood understand that the lot of Man is intrinsically tied up in his own lot.
The societal difference is that a society of egoists is violent, poverty stricken, and is filled with disease. It requires big brother to operate at even a limited capacity.
That rare and elevated society that has individuals self interested rightly understood on the other and, is characterized by it singular, wealth, humanity, fraternity and health.
The author is basically saying it is in our best interests, rightly understood, to be "human hearted," to use Confucius' term.
I'm not an expert but isn't this entire piece a tenet of Mormonism philosophy? Helping others in need, by first being able to help yourself? okay thats a bastardization too but im not a Mormon :)
Its noble in concept
but
"the survival of the principles and truths that drive us to fight is the ultimate goal."
are there still principles and truths that commonly bond a significant of "us" together?
The Declaration of Independence has been replaced by a culture of Gruber's who believe they are owed repayment due to the ills befallen them from an unjust society. Theyre not willing to pull up their bootstraps because they believe someone else should do that for them.
sadly - that genepool is winning
They are not really winning. They are feeding off your income, transfered to them from Government.
Politicians like deadbeat dependents because they provide a captive pool of bribe recipients.
But at the end of the day the Politicians' scam is dependent on people being willing to provide them with money with which to bribe...
If people truly object, at some point they will organize to say 'No'. The fact that they don't is signal that there is no conviction behind their objections.
If there's any really seminal observation we can make, based on what we see going on in the world here lately, it is that human beings are predators, and they are also utterly ruthless predators who prey on their own species. In fact, if we can manage to unburden ourselves of the bullshit we've been taught, it should be clear that this has pretty much ALWAYS been the nature of humans.
You can also note, judging from history, that even of the greatest and most goodie-goodie of religious traditions of "loving your neighbor" have never had a problem with killing your neighbor, exploiting your neighbor, or enslaving your neighbor whenever it seemed expedient due to war--or just plain opportunity.
At best, the moral and ethical traditions of any group only apply to members of their own group, and will only occasionally be extended to outsiders, and only if there is some advantage to this, such as trade.
Humans do benefit from forming cohesive groups and from at least a modicum of adherence to moral and ethical traditions, and traditions of sharing and compassion, within that group, so those are good things. But most of us also know, just from observing our closest immediate family relationships, that you can't always count on the moral compass of even your nearest and dearest.
Yes, it's often advantageous to be very, very good, because humans are pack animals for whom cohesive relationships are beneficial. But that's about as far as it goes. Even in supposedly civil and civilized societies, efforts to "help" those outside our own pack are always predicated on some perceived advantage.
This is the way humans are and always have been, and it would be wise to act in accordance with this actual reality, rather than the endless bullshit you've been taught.
"Prepper pirates are rabid dogs who should be put down."
"Put down" is being killed like an animal without a trial, or given a kangaroo court trial. This sound like moral relativism to me. Brandon used to sound like an extreme prepper type, now he is sounding like every other elitist bastard that thinks people should do what he wants because he is the arbiter of what is moral.
Jeez,
Didn't any of you people go to the Saturday matinees when you were a kid?
They send the sweet faced cherub up to the cabin in which the 'moral' frontier family is holed up and as soon as Pappy Preacher opens the door to help...
BLAM.
Various G rated indignities are suffered at the hands of the outlaws until Clint Eastwood shows up to water his horse and brings a shitstorm of retribution with him.
No Care Bears at Saturday matinees.
Great article: I noticed the same that there is this storyline of people that do horrible things and somehow escape justice formal or otherwise and are never beyond redemption no matter how awful they are -- that being murderous not awful.
We started with the BIS codemning Central banks and have moved to Goldman Sachs condemning the financial world---after the looting is done the looters are then joining the wave of negative rhetoric --hahahaha
This would be funny if it were merely a TV series---its your life and that of your loved ones......
The "Walking Dead" is an interesting program.... I suppose it conveys a different message to different people, that said; to me it effectively outlines the "society" that the people in the Un-tied States are immersed in.
There are the FEW who are still human... who stand together and try to "stay low and out of conflicts"..
.... but are continually ATTACKED viciously by the "zombies" who all have one mind and one instinctual need to feed off and subsequently turn any real human into what they are. And these "zombies" are mindless themselves, controlled by a common mind VIRUS so that they are predictable and they ALL do the same things. They are dangerous if you don't understand them.... if you stay aware and eliminate them one at a time you preserve your own humanity.
Interesting concept.
Yeah, let's hear your pointless moral code in this post-modern, moral relativistic culture.
What you'll end up saying is "Do what thou wilt" and in the process sound exactly like Anton LeVay.
