The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all. It is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level. To breed and train a standardized citizenry. To put down dissent and originality. H.L. Mencken
The State calls its own violence law, but that of the individual, crime. Max Stirner
The cause in the most of cases, that induces the negro to run away from service, is as much a disease of the mind as any other species of mental alienation, and much more curable, as a general rule. With the advantages of proper medical advice, strictly followed, this troublesome practice that many negroes have of running away, can be almost entirely prevented, although the slaves be located on the borders of a free state, within a stone’s throw of the abolitionists. Samuel Cartwright
Je stem gaat altijd verloren
Toen de koers en inflatie steeds verder omhooggingen terwijl je salaris minder waard werd, kreeg je het idee dat je bezig was je eigen toekomst te bepalen? Toen je tijdens de COVID-19-plandemie verplicht thuis opgesloten zat, en je niet kon werken om jezelf te verzorgen, terwijl de psychopaten in de roverheid openlijk feest vierden en hun eigen regels aan hun laars lapten, had je toen het idee dat je je toekomst in eigen handen had?

GEEN Partij een optie op 25 mei
Op 25 mei 2025 krijgen Surinamers die naar de stembus gaan er een bijzondere keuze bij. Door de aanhoudende economische crisis, de negatieve politieke ontwikkelingen en het feit dat geen enkel politieke partij ooit in de geschiedenis duurzame ontwikkeling heeft kunnen brengen, besloten enkele initiatiefnemers om Geen Etnische En Nationale Partij, kortweg G.E.E.N. Partij, op te richten als alternatief. Read more ⟶
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will, within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add “within the limits of the law,” because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual. Thomas Jefferson
The problem with Bitcoin
During the Canadian truckers’ protest against COVID-19 restrictions in early 2022, 34 cryptocurrency wallets associated with the movement were blacklisted, exposing a critical vulnerability in Bitcoin’s ability to provide true financial autonomy. Anyone interacting with those wallets by sending or receiving money from them would risk being tracked down and punished by the robberment. Read more ⟶
Who’s the crazy one?
If people are indeed so bad, why would you create the possibility for them to end up in positions of power where they can cause immense harm? And then complain when these bad people, who are not angels, abuse their power? In that case, who’s the crazy one? Read more ⟶
Be aware that there are other proposals for “electronic money” which are not nearly so protective of individuals’ privacy. Chaum’s proposals are intended to preserve the privacy attributes of cash, so the term “digital cash” is appropriate. But other electronic replacements for cash not only lack its privacy, but would actually facilitate computer monitoring by putting more detailed information into databases, and by discouraging the use of cash. If you see a proposal for an electronic money system, check to see whether it has the ability to preserve the privacy of financial transactions the way paper money does today. If not, realize that the proposal is designed to harm, not help, individual privacy. Hal Finney (Protecting Privacy with Electronic Cash, 1993)
Lysander Spooner on the origin and purpose of legislation
A few weeks ago I came across some writings by Lysander Spooner published in 1882 under the title “Natural Law; or the Science of Justice”. Specifically section three of chapter three caught my attention because it contains a lot of insights that I had to come to myself over the course of a few years of my own research and experience.

Plato on participating in politics
“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors,” is a quote often attributed to the Greek philosopher Plato. In all the instances I’ve seen so far, this quote is used to motivate people to take action themselves and actively participate in politics. Read more ⟶
On “lie machines” and “digital crime”
I can still remember vividly when Curtis Hofwijks burst into laughter at the Dependence Square in Paramaribo, when I told him for the umpteenth time that my Facebook account was blocked again for a while. It was during the period of 2015–2016 when I supported him during his protests against the policies of the robberment, led at the time by Bouterse. Read more ⟶

Anarchy and chaos
The word ‘anarchy’ has its origins in the Ancient Greek word ‘anarchos’. ‘An’ means ‘without’ and ‘archos’ means ‘ruler’. So anarchy literally means “without ruler”. This can be compared to the word ‘monarchy’, which means “one ruler” (‘monos’ means ‘one’ or ‘alone’). Read more ⟶
PayPal gave us a glimpse of what’s coming

On Voting and the Mafia
In one of the MobileCoin groups on Signal one of the participants named Mike Glenn shared a comment that I want to share with all of you. I thought it explained really well how the public is being fooled by voting in the so called ‘democracies’ of today while being robbed and enslaved. Read more ⟶
Anarchism is not a romantic fable but he hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners. Edward Abbey
‘Chan’ om ‘Bouta’: lood om oud ijzer
Het is geen wonder dat het huidig politiek/economisch systeem precies blijft doen waar het voor ontworpen was, namelijk het uitbuiten van eenieder op de plantage Suriname, ongeacht welke opzichters tijdelijk ‘de macht krijgen’. Read more ⟶
‘Chan’ for ‘Bouta’: lead for old iron
It is no coincidence that the current political/economic system continues to do exactly what it was designed to do, namely, exploitation of everyone on the plantation Suriname regardless of which overseers temporarily “come to power”. Read more ⟶
