Peace, why can it be so deceptive?

I suppose it’s because subjective peace, that is a peace that ignores the realities of existence, can lull us into a sense of complacency and will fail to prepare us for when chaos hits. We won’t have the strength in thought, word, or body to manage through it.

Objective peace, however, recognizes the realities of existence, that storms brew and people wage even small wars against other people. The person of the mind can then do what is necessary to prepare, rations for tough times, tactical readiness for times of conflict, and the foresight to know when to prepare and when to enjoy the present.

Peace can be deceptive, only when we deceive ourselves.

‹Sith Mantra›

Peace is deceptive, there is only passion. Through Passion, I gain strength. Through strength I gain Power. Through Power I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me.

What this means is that the Bureau considered the Mayor to be a security risk, because he and other critics of the FBI in the municipal government were the chief targets of the operation. The Bureau’s objective was to make it politically impossible to resist the reinstatement of the Portland-area JTTF, so that the local branch of the American Cheka can continue its vital work of spying on political dissidents and turning troubled but redeemable people into fodder for the contemporary gulag.  https://libertarianinstitute.org/?s=Homeland+Security

Looks to me like the troubles in Portland, Or has a history.

Except the FED has managed to make a dollar into 1.5¢. So, what are stocks really worth, again?

What three paths of honor might we all walk?

The dignity of the family we belong to, and may add honor to

The valor of defending our right to life, provisions and happiness

The ethics of service to our family, born or adopted.

Honor—Dignity; Valor and virility; Ethics—is developed in play as a child. I learn my boundaries, what I can do before you won’t play with me anymore. Those rules are learned before a child can tell one quarter is worth more than five pennies.

Three Felonies a Day.

“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against— then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted— and you create a nation of lawbreakers— and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
