i spoke with a pal on the telephone earlier today from the snowy glade of my winter cabin. during our conversation he told me he might be “sleepin on jesus” and that joe rogan converted to christianity.

after some laughter i suddenly felt faint. i was seized by something.

i asked him to hold on a second. i became disoriented and nearly tripped over a loose christopher hitchens book that fell on the floor. i put my hand on the wall to brace myself.

snowfall out the window dazzled me, struck me in such a way that i started to weep. “i know this... i know you” i whispered to myself.

an ig notification pulled me from my revelation. it was an influencer telling me about the glory of His Glory. i donated sats immediately.

all of my fav e-celebs follow jesus now. am i missing out? my tears of joy and confusion fell to the floor.

i googled what was happening and gemini told me it was a religious experience!

it was the holy ghost moving through me, moving through my penis and gooch.

finally, a sense of belonging! this is what i've been seeking! i pulled my pants down enough to let God's Gift breathe. but this was not something i wanted to keep to myself so i subscribed to a cool virtual congregation that came up in my feed. the spirit of christ wanted me to live stream the Second Coming...

sometimes it's hard for me to knock a faith, but most of the time it is as easy as 1-2-3.

abrahamic religions are cringe. monotheism appeals to ppl who want a skydaddy and are uncomfortable with a lack of closure and the real pursuit of truth, meaning, and understanding imo.

these cults: judaism, islam, christianity and the like are the scourge of humanity. they are probably the oldest form of mind-control i can readily think of. but guess what? they're cool now! you do want to be cool, don't you? gimme a fkn break.

i understand that everyone partakes in a unique spiritual journey during their time here. i accept that being in some delusional cult can be a part of that journey.

if there is one takeaway from fashionable christian brainrot, it is this: while the supremacy of god is recognized, the state is not. today in most industrialized societies, statism has usurped the authority of god and appointed itself as the sole theocratic source of truth and power. it is a net positive for humanity when any group can create a culture that rejects the state's claim to legitimacy.

that said, the same issue will always arise when a group of wackos under the banner of their “god” come to replace the state with their own brand of theocracy, which becomes the same thing because the state is also an organized religion.

so i say beware the grifters. in times of confusion, there will always be someone we don't know ready to sell us some bullshit, whether that be a religion, a virus, an item; remember they're just products.

no gods, no masters. live free. trust yourself.

music streaming via spotify was the only subscription i had. after learning about their partnership with big data and analytics, i said fucc' em.

we rly do be spoiled by on-demand music streaming. it is sensational in many ways. any music you want to hear at nearly anytime, you got it on a silver fuckin platter. i realize now that music on-demand can actually cheapen the experience altogether, making it profane thru saturation. music is sacred and sometimes it's best to hear it once in a while imo (i listen to music everyday anyway).

spotify had to go. kicks spotify to the curb

fast forward a couple years.

i've become a big internet radio enjoyer maaaannn.

c'mon baby. c'mon.

tbh, i wish i had tapped into it earlier on. it's so GUT.

here's some of my favorite stations atm:

radio paradise defcon radio loca ambient lofi girl somafm left coast 70s all underground hip hop

grab something like transistor or shortwave.

spotify doesn't respect your privacy and is selling your musical tastes to an assortment of buyers for various reasons. if that matters to you, just drop them. save yourself some money.

music is EVRYWHRE. don't get cucked by spotify.

winter moon rising. here we are. a stranger in a strange land where the going gets weird and and weird get going.

i've been exploring the grassroots 'small web' more and more these days with my sights set on self-hosting.

c0mmando just recently (like today recently) i believe, setup a darknet lantern instance which is pretty fuccin saweet. and we have Nihilist to thank for that... thanks Nihil.

my learning journey is on a continuum and i am loving every minute of it. “going dark” as (former?) fbi director james comey once put it, has become smoother for me over the years as i make huge headway in opting out of babylon's corporate slave system.

it is only a matter of time before cryptofiat replaces cash as the only legal tender around, so i'm doing what any proactive free man would do in the face of such effrontery: strategize.

hell, digital i.d. is coming too. despite best efforts, most of us will bend the knee. on god i won't be one of them; i hope you won't either.

see you in the underground gloria mundi fugit

the dawn returns to northern lands elongating the days chilling the nites

a funny fire burns in the heart of the marionette with no strings attached

let us help one another to find a way through clownworld on the darkest day

rise like thunder raise your army of golden souls to strike down the soulless in oneself

hacksteaders, unite!

first and foremost i'd like to thank KOW4LSK1 for the neologism hacksteader.... it got my smooth brain firing on a few cylinders.

q: what is a hacksteader? a: a hacksteader is a homesteading hacker.

never in my wildest dreams could i imagine that those who “live on the land” might also kn0w how to navigate a command-line but alas...

see, here's the th!ng—-back-to-the-landers who choose to live in the wilderness, the countryside, in a mountain village or a cottage somewhere typically tend to either treat digital tools as peripheral or simply unknowable.

little did 1 realize there is a middle path, a subculture of rural-dwelling impresarios who hack and homestead. i take a personal interest in such an intersection.

homesteaders are the ultimate diy'ers.

there have been days where i have had to re-route plumbing in my cabin, change the oil on a vehicle, fell a tree, and setup a tor relay on an sbc.

now i'm studying how to setup a mesh network in my rural neighborhood using point to multi-point network topology + yggrdrasil, meshtastic, or reticulum.

but i also want to improve my potato yield next year, build a guesthouse, and excavate a pond.

turns out there are others who like to get their hands dirty in the day and geek out at night, all in the spirit of freedom and truth.

what a time to be alive...

giving more thought about how to distill the concept of privacy for children so that it can be made into a storybook has compelled me to reflect upon my own experiences with privacy as a child.

in doing so i must confess i was surprised to realize that i was raised with very little privacy from birth to about 16 years of age.

holy shit, i think to myself. that can't be healthy, can it?

the house i did most of my growing up in with my mother, father, and brother was not conducive to privacy. i had to leave the house to have more than a night's sleep worth of privacy, even then all the bedrooms were sandwiched next one another with only drywall and a bit of fiberglass insulation between each space.

time i spent out of my home was spent in the General Daycare/Workforce Training Camp commonly known as school. aside from an actual prison or a detention center i could not think of a less private place to be as a child. with the exception of bathroom breaks, this kind of institutionalization required that i be under constant supervision by staff, or in the ever-present company of my peers, lest i be seen as a loner or suspicious malcontent.

so schooling is actually where privacy goes to die.

now how am i supposed to describe these discoveries in a children's book? i guess that's the noble challenge.

we must also realize that parents in industrial societies are conditioned to mistrust a child or teenager who wants unsupervised play.

notice how i haven't even mentioned the involvement of the web and computer technology yet.

i had the good fortune of growing up largely without the web, so at least that dimension to my privacy was not part of the equation.

so the whole song-and-dance of industrial society serves not only to discourage privacy, but to deprive the individual of it on a systemic level: at home, at “school”, in the workplace (unless it is a solitary job), in prison.

when seen through the lens of power differentials, spiritual warfare, and the neofeudal paradigm we now find ourselves in, it is plain to see that the elimination of privacy for the individual, and the gradual criminalization of it, is a high priority to the criminal class firmly in control of govts, multinationals, and nonprofits worldwide.

after all, civilians who don't have the time and space to enjoy their own company and kindle an inner life are completely helpless, disempowered. thus they are no threat to this thousand year Reich we have on our hands.

i'm starting to think a children's book about this all might be more important to the mothers and fathers themselves than the little ones...

been a minute.

i'm torn between writing one of two kid's books, a picture book on privacy and a storybook about the trivium.

even if i don't actually author a children's book about privacy, the thought-process alone has been rewarding. it has allowed me to think about the subject in very simple terms, which happens to be immensely useful when trying to communicate thoughts and ideas to little ones as well as (dumbed down) adults.

privacy seems like a smart thing to teach to kids ffs. it should help them learn about the surveillance state. kids should know that they are allowed and encouraged to have a space and time to develop an inner self without being monitored or constantly surrounded by other people.

i had very little privacy as a child. compulsory schooling (i.e. institutionalization) actually had a lot to do with it because for 10 months of the year for roughly 8 hours a day 5 days per week i was seldom in my own company. no wonder some of us never develop much of a personality after their time in skool. you can't expect to become an 1ndividual without an 1nner life.

privacy is often the prerequisite.

parents and child alike would profit tremendously from a book about privacy, not just bodily privacy (of which those books are plentiful) but the whole package, online and afk.

try reading them something other than fucking paw patrol or whatever braindead disney tales you're brainwashing your kids with. the future will be a freer one for our descendants if they know what they are up against.

foil the plans for their panopticon. stalk the watchers. empower the youth.

I know that now.

Never used to be keen. I am keen now. I actually used to mock them, and in some ways I still do. “OoOo lOoK At Me I uSe XmPp”.

They are a curious part of the web where sharing is rampant. Sharing is the cornerstone of these places. Of course, there is your melodrama and absurdity; banality and sabotage and wholesale trivialities and general ugliness, yet it is all being shared.

This is why it is so threatening to authoritarians, especially those online enclaves where hackers and freethinkers log-in. Free speech. Free circulation of ideas, information, perspectives. Toss some cypherpunks into the mix and you got something you can't control. Which is mostly good, I think. Unfortunately, those wacky authoritarians will also see opportunities to compromise such spaces with propaganda of all stripes, an easy assignment given how tenaciously the public has been propagandized.

Censors do not want chatrooms to exist. Not without a great deal of surveillance. And eventually, I think, much of it won't be accessible without end-user licensing, permits, government registration, digital ID, up to date medical interventions, background and (social) credit checks etc. and the overarching loss of human dignity. The technocratic state is our common enemy.

These scumlords would rather plant CSAM all over these chatrooms—which I am almost positive they do—then let people have interpersonal exchanges in private. This is how paranoid and depraved the establishment has become.

All things considered, be advised to get going while the goings hot. The internet revolution continues, friend. There are no spectators. Only participants. Just don't get misled by what you see online. People thinking the world is a certain way because of what some users online say or share. Do not make that mistake. Your world is your community. If you don't have a community; friends, neighbors, and loved ones, get to work and build those bonds. I'm afraid the Internet will not supply you with it, but I know of some tech companies that would love to convince you otherwise....

This is a battle for the mind so stay alert! hic sunt dracones.

On another note, I'm taking haveno-reto for a ride. For all the would-be countereconomists, check out Nihilist's guide on how to throw down.

the title should really end with a question mark to be honest. i want to know how.

i used to have a passport. i still do, but it's long-expired. when i share this with folks they might reply: “so you don't travel?” and i respond. “internationally? no. not yet.”

i love traveling. i did a considerable amount of it in the past. it stopped when i decided to put down roots somewhere in my native land.

i put my globetrotting aside to make a home and a family. thankfully i was decisive about it because now i have land with a cabin on it and acres for the kids to play. no mortgage. no lease. incredible community of likeminded people. few expenses.

now that i'm on the other side, i wouldn't mind traveling again.

problem is, i'm a free man.

not exactly a problem, but in an unfree world it's a fucking predicament.

much to my dismay, wisdom has brought with it a difficult truth.

that unless we affirm our natural right to migrate and travel at will anywhere on earth without having to ask permission, we will have to face the fact that we live on some sort of slave plantation we refer to as a “country,” a penal colony where we are granted leave by our prison wardens.

essentially, i recognize my freedom of movement and i'm willing to take risks to uphold it.

key risk: renounce my citizenship and go “stateless” (aka. our true nature = actually free).

what might this move entail?

i might want to produce my own travel document, or fetch one from the world passport authority (r.i.p. garry allen!). though i would prefer not to live in a world where i am perpetuating the expectation to “show my papers please”.

try to land a visa from a nation that recognizes free (stateless) humans and challenge the customs border thugs outright, like the great garry allen did, described in his book Passport to Freedom.

i really want to do this; i almost feel like it's my dharma.

this is a right very few people fight to defend anymore. i would like to be in that minority because i think it's still an important part of the Great Work to abolish slavery.

a lot of noise was made to resist the introduction of vaccine passports. why not actual passports that dehumanize us and reduce us to cargo and subjects of a criminal class hellbent on world domination?

if anyone can answer the question in the title to this post contact me https://matrix.to/#/@xapat1st4:hackliberty.org ffs!

imagine having to seek permission from a third party to build something. good god.

this quick editorial is about the embarrassment i feel for my fellow man who, for one reason or another, wishes to obtain a government permit to build everything from a small shed or a deck to a family home.

lately in my neighborhood i have been told a permit is now “required” to construct a driveway. these crooks don't quit...

i never got a permit to build my home (or anything on my land for that matter) and i would never, ever volunteer to do so. why? because it is absurd and an insult to my dignity to seek permission from a criminal organization to shelter myself and my family.

and listen. i don't wanna fucking hear how iTs FoR tHe sAfEtY oF mYsElF aNd OtHeRs to pay money to these corrupt racketeers for the natural right i already possess to make my home how i please. i am not a child. i am a competent and capable man with the ability to build a safe structure. it is my responsibility and no one else's. so fuck off! simple as that.

let these bureaucrats send as much paperwork as they like. it just means more firestarter for the woodstove and an opportunity to tighten my lines of defense in preparation for unwelcome visitors.

a parallel structure doesn't include building permits. sorry!
