Brian's Column-Article
Say what you will about the Amazon dynasty, its Createspace subsidiary has made possible an entire new set of careers for writers and editors qua publishers. What I mean by that is if you want to write a book and you know how to use a computer, you can put a real one up on the Web and available as printed material complete with ISBN and all the bells and whistles that make it available to all the libraries of the world. It’s like in the movie, The Jerk, when the Steve Martin character finally sees his name in the telephone directory! [Full Column] Book Review Since 2007, when I read Pete Hendrickson’s Cracking the Code, I, Brian Wright, have acknowledged and asserted my non-federally privileged status with respect to the federal ‘income’ tax. And believe all Americans to whom the ‘national excise tax’ does not apply should stop paying it (as a patriotic duty)… libertarians especially! Further, libertarians must learn and spread the immediately liberating and healing truths that Pete Hendrickson has unearthed… to hardstop the DC gangster state NOW. As a personal friend of the Hendrickson family, I was caught up in the struggle to help Pete’s wife Doreen resist the vicious, arbitrary aggression by the court upon her for refusing a federal judge’s order to commit the felony crime of perjury. I attended her sham contempt trial in Detroit, for five days at the end of July 2014, and was moved to write this book—a journal of her ordeal and primer of the ideas for which she was persecuted—for her liberty… and ours. [Full Column] Movie Review The IMDb blurb says, “A New Jersey guy dedicated to his family, friends, and church, develops unrealistic expectations from watching porn and works to find happiness and intimacy with his potential true love.” So I expected it to be on the frank, perhaps even raw, side, but I’ve always liked Gordon-Levitt’s movies where he’s an actor—since Brick (2005), The Lookout (2007), and especially (500) Days of Summer (2009)—and this one he also writes and directs. So I put my offensiveness meter on standby and gave Don Jon a fair shake, so to speak.:) Not the kind of movie to watch with one’s parents… or one’s kids. But definitely out there and honest. No doubt a situation that a lot of young guys deal with one way or another—that they prefer getting off on pornography to the real thing. [Full Column] Guest Column I don’t really know much about Edwin Vieira, but from what little I’ve read over the past several years, he’s truly an extraordinary Constitutional scholar with immense vision. I sense that he’s profoundly correct: the rightful grand jury and the constitutional militiae work hand in hand, and, further, they will both be essential to navigate free Americans through the coming crash of the monopoly money and credit system (and everything that accompanies the controllers’ machinations). I’m 65 now, but in good health and am prepared to volunteer to serve in both judicial and militia capacities. For now, I recommend at least checking out the two page summary of Vieira’s thrust here.
