FLAGLESS: Submission NOT Endorsement: A... →
flagless:
By Ryan Day Thompson
Note: I’m going to examine the following text in two palatable parts. It’s long, and my tendency is to the essay (unlike, say, David McElroy, who can pack a punch in less than a thousand words), so I think you’ll served better by short pieces. <tongueincheek> I know most of…

Temporal and Eternal in the Coming Crisis
The state, in every political stripe and color, has declared war on its citizens through its standing army in the police force. It is preparing to place a literal standing army on home soil.
It is degrading into the massive and all encompassing dictatorship into which states must inherently degrade, regardless of how small they are in the beginning.
The banking system is on the brink...
