‘I Love You on Everything … Except Politics”

Recent Comment (link)

Love the paleo and 21 convention stuff but clearly have very little understanding of who Thomas Jefferson was all about. Cut the libertarian bull-shite.

This is a common comment for me to receive. It essentially says “I agree with and believe you are right on a staggeringly wide array of topics … with the exception of politics.”

What’s most tragic about this comment (besides the fact that I am NOT a libertarian) is that people aren’t more curious about their, usually very passionate, disagreement with me on this single specific topic. People just bury their heads in the sand on it, in spite of the fact that I have been at the spearhead of what amounts to one of the best comprehensive resources of knowledge in the world.

It’s as if viewers and readers go down a check list of topics that I spread information about, and rank what they find.

It’s an enormous anomaly staring people in the face, that they write off as insignificant or a fluke.

REALLY?

Who really believes I’ve been so diligent on such a wide…

Time to Abolish the CDC?

I’ve never taken the time to consider whether or not the CDC is constitutional [EDIT: I checked, it's not]. Which is a polite way of saying “legal”. Regardless of whether or not it is, stuff like this makes a strong case for abolishing it entirely, or dramatically reducing it’s scope, specifically removing it from the realm of nutrition forever.

CDC researchers say mothers should stop breastfeeding to boost ‘efficacy’ of vaccines

On a creepiness scale of 1 to 10, this is a 15. 

The CDC is funded by violence. It’s a federal agency that is paid for largely by your income tax, which you pay, or go to jail for not paying. If you refuse to go to jail, you will be shot by armed IRS agents. If you think I’m joking trying making $100,000 fiat dollars and ignoring the IRS for the next 2 years.

You’ll be murdered. A federal judge agrees.

And this is the shit your income tax goes to pay? An…

False Idealism vs. True Idealism

 
Little pisses me of more than grumpy, old, bitter people criticizing those in their 20s and late teens for being “too idealistic”, and then grouping us all into one undefinable glob. While this post is not focused on the video seen above, it exemplifies exactly what I am talking about.

It exemplifies a lethal betrayal, bottom of the barrel self-esteem, and outright moral cowardice.

“Go fuck yourself.” is too kind a comment for any idiot willing to say such a thing, on radio or otherwise.

Like I said though, this post is not about her, her betrayal, or the personal misery she lives with every day. It is about the collective grouping she expresses in her statement. It is about the homogenization of every young person into one giant “naive” group.

  • Readers of this blog, are not hippies.
  • Fans of The 21 Convention, are not hippies.

No Fluoride x 4 years + No Dentist x 6 Years = Perfect Teeth

Until 48 hours ago, I had not seen a dentist for any reason in over 6 years. I have completely avoided fluoride toothpaste for about 4 years, and have avoided water containing fluoride as often as possible during that same span of time.

According to the dentist, I do not have a single cavity.

I drink coffee almost every day for going on two and a half years now.

My teeth are significantly whiter than average.

Apparently my gums are lightly inflamed. According to the scale presented at the dentist’s office, I am dead center average with this.

A regular cleaning should “fix” this, but I question whether the inflammation actually means anything.

I’ve taken about 5,000 IU of Vitamin D3 every day for over 2 years. I started taking a daily supplement of Vitamin K2 about  2 months ago. I continue to eat plenty of grass fed dairy, especially butter.

I brush once daily. Rarely twice. I always use fluoride free toothpaste with a bit of baking soda sprinkled on. I floss…

Anthony Johnson Officially Endorses Ron Paul for President : Does so on the Basis of Opposing Radical Extremism

 
While I realize I am not a major celebrity, and that this endorsement comes as nothing less than obvious to long time readers and viewers, I have decided to officially endorse Ron Paul for President.

I have made this decision to endorse Ron Paul, and lay out some basic points as to why he is my choice, because while not enormous, the reach of my voice is significant enough to warrant making this endorsement.

The totality of my work being viewed over 150,000 times per month, and climbing.

Something few 23 year olds can claim anywhere in the world, from any profession or background.

Something I intend to leverage to the max in this endorsement, regardless of the size of the impact this endorsement will have.

There are three easy to understand reasons why I am supporting Ron Paul, perfectly illustrated in the picture seen below.

From left to right they read federal reserve, IRS, and military slavery. These terms represent…

The History and Future of Money

This is a brand new speech on The21Convention.com given by level 3 CFA Gary Korolev. As the title states, it’s about the history and future of money. Gary is highly critical of fiat currency and central banking in the presentation, especially when it comes to the federal reserve of the united States.

For some of you, the concepts presented in this speech will be brand new. For others it will be a review. Regardless, I think everyone will enjoy it in full.

As the founder of The 21 Convention, and as someone who passionately f*cking hates the federal reserve, it’s a very welcomed sight at my own event.

In related news, and as discussed to a degree in the video, Texas Congressman Ron Paul is hours away from WINNING Iowa. For international readers who do not understand what this means: it’s a very, very, very, very good thing.

Relevant to the video, it’s a giant step towards abolishing the federal…

Howard Roark…

It was very peculiar, thought Keating. Toohey was asking him a great many questions about Howard Roark. But the questions did not make sense. They were not about buildings, they were not about architecture at all. They were pointless personal questions — strange to ask about a man of whom he had never heard before.

“Does he laugh often?”

“Very rarely.”

“Does he seem unhappy?”

“Never.”

“Did he have many friends at Stanton?”

“He’s never had any friends anywhere.”

“The boys didn’t like him?”

“Nobody can like him.”

“Why?”

“He makes you feel it would be an impertinence to like him.”

“Did he go out, drink, have a good time?”

“Never.”

“Does he like money?”

“No.”

“Does he like to be admired?”

“No.”

“Does he believe in God?”

“No.”

“Does he talk much?”

“Very little.”

“Does he listen if others discuss any … ideas with him?”

“He listens. It would be better if he didn’t.”

“Why?”

“It would be less insulting — if you know what I mean, when a man listens like that and you know it hasn’t made the slightest bit of difference to him.”

Things are looking up for this country…

 
I believe this is Ron Paul’s single greatest debate performance in history. As I’ve discussed before, Ron Paul is set to win the office of the president and become the next President of the united States — one of the few men in American history who will actually be deserving of that title.

Many people are still skeptical to varying degrees about this. I believe the majority of skeptics left fall into one of two camps. There is a minority of people left who are genuinely ignorant of Ron Paul. They will “come around” easily as Ron Paul continues to destroy what’s left of status-quo politics.

The two main camps then are

A. Zombie Sheep

Brainless, spineless cowards who long ago lost the ability to think independently. These are the people who will be writing in “John McCain” because they still think it’s 2008. Most of these people will sleepwalk through their entire lives and will never support Ron Paul, life, and liberty. Such a man and such concepts are antithetical to their entire…

When Should You Shoot a Cop?

 
Literally speaking, whenever someone violates your unalienable rights*, with open violence, you have a right to defend your self by any means necessary, to preserve your life and limb from serious or lethal injury. This includes the use of a firearm of any type, size, or power.

What ‘authority’ the violator claims is of no objective consequence so far as your rights are concerned — and declarationally speaking, of no legal consequence.

Good video, good article, give it a watch/read.

– Anthony Dream Johnson

*If you forfeit your rights by violating the rights of others, this no longer applies, such as when a criminal robs and murders someone, and is then shot by police in pursuit, an armed citizen seeing the conclusion of the crime and attempting to stop the criminal, etc.
