What's In A Name?
Sam Aurelius Milam III
A
long time ago, while I was involved with the Constitutional Patriot movement,
we all understood that a man could use any name he wanted, just so long
as he satisfied the obligations that he incurred under the name.
He didn't do anything wrong by using an assumed name. For years,
I used assumed names for such things as the power bill and the phone bill.
I couldn't see any reason why those people needed a name anyway.
The service was to the address. Whoever lived there could pay for
it.
Things
have changed. Some time ago, I received from US West, our local phone
company, a flier that assures me that my service can be disconnected if
I use an assumed name. What possible difference can it make if I
use an assumed name? So long as I make a cash deposit and pay the
bill, the name is irrelevant.
In
the November 1998 issue of this newsletter (Privacy
Act, page 2), I suggested that the post office is trying to help
the government keep track of people by asking for names of people who live
at each address. Now we can speculate that the phone company is also
involved. It isn't sufficient that somebody lives here, uses the
telephone, and pays the bill. The "authorities" want an identity.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif)
Letters to the Editor
Dear Sam -
You
say I don't know much about the art of song writing. Let me not argue
the point further. Part of the art of propaganda is to say the same
thing over & over again without being boring. The current system
is corrupt, corrupt, corrupt. People must be reminded of what is
in front of their noses because they are that brainwashed. A closed,
decadent, stupid class rules, & they choose our "educators"
A
successful revolution requires the will, or at least passive acceptance,
of the majority. The kind of change I advocate requires the "education
of the masses." That's why I do propaganda via any outlet I can.
I explain my overall philosophy — making references to its relation to
the history of political philosophy — when I get the space. I also
argue issue by issue all the time.
In
the case of Milosevic: We are at a stage where world opinion is now
used not just within individual nations, but on the planetary level.
This makes sense, since the human species is a more natural category than
any nation. Modern democracy, according to the Declaration, is based
upon the deist concept of "natural law," which applies to all men.
You are defending Milosevic via the legalism of the Pharisees. My
propaganda is neither vague nor impractical. As for sex addiction,
Face the Nation is again saying that Clinton is an insane sex addict because
he commits adultery like every other red blooded American. This is
a media example of the truly insane ruling class I am opposing as seriously
& practically as I can.
We
know that the Labor party is being tied down by the CIA. But why
can't the Reform Party come up with a single credible libertarian-leaning
candidate?
Sincerely,
— Elliot; N. Merrick, New York
A
successful revolution of the type you advocate (guns, war whoops, and propaganda)
doesn't require a majority, only a big enough minority to destabilize the
majority. Strangely enough, the kind that I advocate (learn to think
for yourself) doesn't require a majority, either. And STILL, you
haven't made a specific suggestion about how to get competent teachers,
just more vague stuff about the "education of the masses". I'm not
convinced that the teachers are incompetent, but since you believe it and
can't think of a specific suggestion I'll help you get started. Here's
a specific suggestion. Repeal the legislative requirements of mandatory
school attendance. When parents can control their children's education,
then there'll be an incentive for teachers to be competent. Better
yet, there'll be an incentive for schools to teach what parents want their
children to learn instead of what the government wants the children to
learn.
The
claim that Democracy is based on Natural Law is absurd. Anarchy comes
closer to that than Democracy does.
Regarding
NATO, I don't support nations and alliances as they're presently constituted.
See my essay, The
Long and Winding Doctrine: Social Contract. However, once such
an institution IS constituted, it ought to obey its defining documents
(treaty, constitution, etc.). NATO failed to do so and should be
punished. NATO is presently embarked upon a course tending in the
direction of world domination. If that happens, then the dream of
one world humanity will be overwhelmed by the nightmare of one world government.
