An Update on Cody Wilson: The heart of the Second Amendment and the forces against it

An update to the Cody Wilson story which was another piece of news from last Friday, the same day that court documents released the contents of high profile participants in that sex operation. While Epstein apparently committed suicide to avoid embarrassing testimony for his sex trafficking activities that documents showed involved many high-profile Democrats, Cody Wilson’s one sexual exploit with an underage girl was supposed to be a moral slap in the face. In Wilson’s case his age range is more understandable than Epstein’s. Wilson riding high off his dominance in the media as the Ghost Gunner manufacturer and spokesman for Defense Distributed fell from grace by paying a girl he meet on SugarDaddyMeet.com $500 for sex. She turned out to be 16 and from there the wheels came off. It’s a clear case of entrapment, Wilson was being watched because authorities couldn’t shut him up on the Second Amendment arguments that he was making all over the world, so the oldest trick in the book brought him down and took him off the front page. Wilson pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of injury to a child and will be required to register as a sex offender during a probation term of seven years, which of course he won’t be allowed to own any guns during that period of time. It’s a shame that he fell for it, but it is what it is. Mistakes in this game will cause you to lose the whole game. So just don’t make them.

The hypocrisy couldn’t have been clearer. If Cody Wilson was advocating for a progressive cause, he would probably have climbed higher in the food chain and been placed as a hero of charitable foundations such as the New York based social network of the Robin Hood Foundation. But Wilson was making points on the Second Amendment which made him an enemy of the progressive movement, so they had to find a way to get rid of him. Not the way that they got rid of Jeffrey Epstein, but in a much more embarrassing way, to let Wilson live with a nametag of shame hung around his neck, as a warning to those like him who might be thinking as he did—that gun rights are not given by the state. They are rights given by existence, the right to defend yourself from forces aggressive toward you.

Defense Distributed, the company that makes 3D printers so that guns can be manufactured at your home easily was started by Wilson and it exposes the critical element of gun ownership that is at the center of the entire debate. Gun laws, especially those proposed by politicians after every mass shooting assume that gun manufacturers will always be controlled by the ATF and background checks and other methods and standing between the manufacture and distribution of firearms will always be the case. But the opposite is true. More than ever, technology has allowed for private manufacture of everything, especially guns. I could make one in my garage today and probably shoot it this evening. Once you have the ability to makes something the ownership of it belongs to you, not some central government that is trying to stand between you and ownership through regulation.

Cody Wilson had hit a nerve that no authority figure wanted to admit, so they used his mistake with that girl to tear him down. The hypocritical truth is that most of his accusers would be doing the same thing if only they could. How many times have young women lied about their age to get sex with an older man, especially if they had celebrity and money to feed their desires? A lot. Cody Wilson, as smart as he is, didn’t have the experience to say no. I’m sure he would today but for a young person, sex is a very strong need and it is used every day to control men, especially controversial men that are on television all the time. But his mistake doesn’t take away the argument. The government doesn’t have the right to prevent any of us from manufacturing our own weapons. We don’t need the gun manufacturers to make guns, or even bullets. We have the technology and ability to make our own guns and our own ammunition right in our own garages and there is nothing any authority can do about it. Which is what Cody Wilson exposed with his work at Defense Distributed.

The company he founded is still in operation and is selling their mini milling machines which can cut out a gun for self-manufacture as much as you’d like, and it is a brilliant idea. The cost of these milling machines is extremely affordable. For $2000 you can get a Ghost Gunner 2 which works wonderfully, and you can build 80% of the lowers of an AR-15, and AR-308, and an M1911 with little to no experience in operating a CNC. It’s a push button solution to a complicated modern problem. Even if Democrats were able to pass all the gun control they could dream of which separated the buyer of guns from the manufacturers like Smith & Wesson, Ruger and many other great American gun companies, we could decentralize the entire gun industry and just build everything in our garages.

It’s the same argument really that is going on right now with medicine and energy. Government very much wants to control utilities and insurance, but the trend is to fix people without the infrastructure that we have built the insurance industry around. And every home could have their own power plant. There wouldn’t be a need for all the power lines and grids that we are all used to if only we would deregulate those industries. It is government regulation that is holding back technical innovation. Inevitably the system will fail and people will get that independence, because that is the social trend of our modern science. That trend has already emerged with the gun industry. Now that we have that technology no authority in the world is going to put it back in the box. They might propose laws that require serial numbers on firearms or in acquiring the metals to make them. They can try to restrict the manufacture of gunpowder and bullets, but honestly, once we have knowledge, we can independently manufacture whatever we want. Look at the case of moonshine and the drug industry in general. Laws have done nothing to stop those industries. And laws will do nothing for guns.

If I want a gun, its none of the government’s business because I may need that gun to regain control of an out of control government. Government cannot take away the right of people to manage their own government. Obviously, and that is quite clear in the Jeffery Epstein case which we are supposed to ignore, but everyone is supposed to be outraged by Cody Wilson, our government is already out of control and we don’t want real sex traffickers like Bill Richardson, or Prince Edward to decide whether or not we can have a gun to defend ourselves from the government they are running. No thank you. The threat that is very real is that no matter how much President Trump or my Ohio governor Mike DeWine may want to appease the political left with more gun laws, that we as consumers will be able to step around their authority and make our own weapons, and government won’t even know where or how many. At least not legally unless they are spying on everything we are doing, which is certainly the case for most of us. But they can’t act on that information without revealing to the world that they are doing it, which of course they don’t want to do.

The Cody Wilson case makes me angry not because of what he did, which he shouldn’t have. I’m sure in the future he will be much more cautious about his conduct with young women. Most of the time it never goes well, so just don’t do it. The bigger prize is the Second Amendment argument, the right to self defense and to manage our own government with force if our election system breaks down, which in 2016 it came very close to doing. We cannot let authority figures define what we will or won’t do. We give them the ability to make laws on our behalf, but if they abuse that power, we have to be able to take our government back by force. They don’t want us to have that right which is why they support gun control. They know they are in a quandary where they are much more guilty of sex crimes than Cody Wilson. They want to be able to point at him and say, there is a bad guy, we are the good guys, even as the young girls from Epstein’s sex island scream for justice. When the heat gets too hot on that case, like it was becoming, then they just remove him from the front pages. Death is the best way to take off the edge and everyone lives happily ever after. But for Wilson, who made a great and accurate argument for the Second Amendment, he is to be socially repressed with a sex offender stigma not for the protection of society, but for the protection of a ruling class that wants gun control so that they can hold power forever if possible, and longer than that if they can figure out a way.

Defending Cody Wilson: Learning how to throw rocks in glass houses

I could tell stories all day long and well into next month about my adventures and the personal experiences I’ve had with the federal government and law enforcement. I’ve served more than once as my own attorney and have been to court many more times than the average person on everything from lawsuits to REALLY reckless operation of motor vehicles. With that said I personally have always led a pretty squeaky-clean life. Sure, I’ve been very good friends with hit men, and big-time judges and all kinds of characters in between. But whatever conflicts and trouble I found myself in it was where some force tried to apply influence on my life that was not welcomed. I didn’t go looking for trouble, it simply knocked down my door and expected a compliant specimen, which is not what they got. And I have had friends who have been through much worse. Most of them aren’t around anymore, some have done serious jail time, so I have a really good idea what happened to Cody Wilson whom I still think is a good kid and is doing great things in regard to the Second Amendment. Before his arrest in Taiwan I received some very unusual personal contacts about Cody Wilson from people proud of what was about to happen to him because I had written several nice articles about Wilson and what he was doing. It all made a lot more sense after I learned that he was being charged for sexual assault of a sixteen-year-old girl. Once the details of the story had started to trickle out of the media during Friday, September 21, 2018 it was clear to me what had happened. And it reminded me of a friend of mine from a long time ago.

That friend that I’m referring to was a genius—literally. He was excessively intelligent, so much so that living life with everyone else was very difficult for him. From his age of 16 to about 35 years of age he had about every federal agency wanting a piece of his ass. He was a legal libertarian that was far smarter than any attorney, and they all knew it. The older he became the worse it got and soon he had racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to many creditors, namely the IRS and I personally had a front seat to see how the federal government threw their vast resources at him—for which he slapped them away like irritating insects. It was through him that I first learned what a façade most things were in public life and really what the nature of the federal government was and continued to be. In essence, most government employees especially in the big bureaucratic agencies are wimpy losers who are drawn to those jobs so they can have power over other people. They really aren’t very smart and my friend intellectually ran circles around them. But they eventually did catch him and they put him in jail. Do you know how they did it dear reader? They busted him for not paying his child support. Out of everything the federal government tried to levy against him for well over a decade, it was a simple little woman who brought him down for not paying child support payments to a kid that was under six years of age at the time. The mom was living with a guy who had great income and she didn’t need the money, but that wasn’t the point. When it came time to prosecute this friend of mine he had clearly broken the law as issued by a judge, and that’s how they got him. No fancy talk could get him out of it, there was no philosophy that could be used to pick apart the unjust creation of legalisms. He owed money that court ordered he was to pay and that was the end of that. Of course, he was never the same after that traumatic experience and I’d say that was the entire intention of what has happened to Cody Wilson.

I thought of this friend a lot as I was watching Cody Wilson challenge the United States government openly on Second Amendment issues. They really didn’t know what to do with him because Wilson was beating them on every legal front. Even though Cody Wilson is still a young guy, I would have expected that he knew every key stroke of his computer was being watched for a misstep by the governments of the world. I’m a little baffled that he would sign up for an account on Sugerdaddy.com. The desire for sex, especially newly blossomed flowers in young ladies is a powerful emotion in men, especially young men. Women from the age of 18 to 20 are at the peak of their sexual powers as biological beings and men who come into power want to interact with the best and most beautiful women for many reasons. Now we aren’t talking about the stupid rules of the #METOO movement. We are talking about reality, in how people—all people—really think when the cameras aren’t rolling, and newspaper reporters are asleep or playing Grand Theft Auto on their home gaming systems. At 30 years of age a kid like Cody in a purely sexual sense is surrounded by girls that have been sexually active for over 15 years and as young flowers they are starting to wilt, so they aren’t nearly so attractive. The situation becomes even more so when you get to the age I am, which is over 50 as of this writing. A young man wanting to prove to the world what a stud he is won’t get that experience from a woman who is his own age. This is often why older men carry on affairs with younger women. They can get access to the kind of women they wanted when they were younger as older, successful men and the young women are just that—interested in using their fresh young looks to get whatever assets in life they can. As young flowers they don’t care who sticks stuff in them, so long as they get what they want. All guys are pretty gross so whether the guy is old or young, they really don’t care so long as they get something from men before their petals fall off and they are just another wilted flower angry at life for the cruel injustice and unfairness of it all. Without question the powers of the state were watching everything Cody Wilson was doing and they watched his fame grow where he was on every major news program and was enjoying great success. He had made it and felt inclined to brag about it a bit and the authorities watched everything he did hoping he’d stumble on something, for which he did when he sought out the sex of a young girl, likely pretending to be over 18 but lying about her age. Wilson talked to her on Sugerdaddy.com for which the authorities knew all about it and it made it easy for them to question the girl later. After paying her $500 for sex Wilson dropped off the sixteen-year-old Sugerdaddy.com girl off at a Whataburger restaurant and thought that was the end of it. But with women and sex it never ever is.

I still like Cody Wilson a lot. But now he has made his personal crusade much more difficult. The federal government obviously wanted to get a felony on him so they could take away his FFL, and keep him from owning any firearms legally. They don’t give a rat’s ass about the 16-year-old girl. There are many government employees in every city and especially the capital of our nation seeking sex with underage people, boys and girls right now. That doesn’t make it right, but the purpose of this case against Cody Wilson is to make a felon out of him to harm his crusade to advance the Second Amendment. That was their only goal. It’s a legal trap to catch smart guys because no matter how much intelligence someone might possess, there is still that biological urge to prove how far you’ve made it in life by attracting sex by the kind of young women that all men desire to spend time with. It doesn’t matter if such a girl costs $500 for straight up sex, or a $1000 date night on food, wine, and a nice hotel room. Or if such a woman costs millions of dollars in giving her a separate house, cars, travel expenses—men will spend a lot of money on having access to a fresh flower that hasn’t had too many bees buzzing around her yet and they do it mostly to tell their peers, “yeah, I’m f**king that. Look at my watch, look at my car, and look at my bitch.” Meanwhile the enemies who work in the state controls watch with the laws of mankind as their arsenal waiting for such aggressions to cause mistakes in judgment.

This is just some advice to people who find themselves in Cody’s position, if you are going to do these things—to be a freedom fighter who is willing to take on anybody anywhere, especially the governments of the world—you have to live a very clean life. You certainly can’t go have sex with young women who may be pretending to be 18 but end up much younger. You have to give that kind of stuff up. I know that’s easy for me to say, at my age doing such a thing would just be creepy. There are lots of men my age who do things like that. The more successful, the more tempting, but that doesn’t make it right. The moment you do, you are compromised, and you lose your moral authority, which isn’t worth giving up. If you want to be a freedom fighter these days and hold the F.B.I’s feet to the fire, to criticize a corrupt Deep State and their press associates—to the secret societies and their global aims not just now on earth, but in space as well—if you are going to rattle cages and throw rocks in glass houses, you can’t have vices in your life for anybody to exploit. You can’t do drugs, you can’t sneak around living a double life, and absolutely no crazy sex. Once you involve other people in your vices, it’s over, so its best not to have them to begin with.

I get almost daily DMs on Twitter, YouTube and Skype from young women who are looking for a sugar daddy and want to sell their youthful assets for a little cash that they couldn’t make working at a retail outlet or as a waitress somewhere. The moment I answered one, the many people who watch everything I do would exploit it and use those opportunities to try to bring me down—because nobody likes a know-it-all smart ass. But to fight the bad guys who want to advocate state-run societies, you have to be much smarter than them, much more morally dominate, and you have to be cleaner than clean. Your personal background has to be essentially cleaner than the day you were born. Every time someone like a Cody Wilson gets caught sniffing at temptation, they will throw the book at you—every time. Because it’s all they really have as a weapon. The greatest weapon of the Deep State and their state-run ambitions is to make sure the world knows that nobody is “holier than thou.”

Years ago when I decided to commit myself to these causes it was for precisely that “holier than thou” reason. I looked at my life and how the bad guys did things and I asked, if anybody can make those claims in modern America, its me. It wasn’t hard for me to live by what I have said here because essentially, I was already doing it. I understand for young people, especially between 30 to 40 years of age that it can be tough because the world tells men, if you can attract hot women to you, then you are a special person. And everyone wants to be special. Donald Trump has had to navigate this very thing, which is the subject of much debate. I look at him and see a person who is pretty much where I am in life as far as commitment to the “fight.” He lives a very clean life now. That’s not to say he did so in the past, but over the last 8 or 9 years, he certainly has, and that has allowed him to do in the Executive Branch what he is doing now. He can throw rocks, he has earned the moral right to do so. But the moment you sign up for Sugardaddy.com or answer a PM from some girl dressed up as a hot chick looking for action, you surrender all the good work that you might otherwise be doing because you dirty yourself and give the “state” ammunition to paint you as just another common pervert looking for sex with underage girls, or indulging in drug abuse, or cheating on a spouse. Once you’ve done any of those things you give up your position, and nothing is worth that.

I stand by Cody Wilson. I think he’s a good kid who felt the pride of being a big shot and he wanted to enjoy the fruits of that to some extent. But my message to him is this—you can’t do it. You may want to, but you can’t do it—ever. If you want to fight these people, you have to be better than them in every aspect. Once they have the goods on you they will never let you live it down, so its best to not give it to them under any circumstances. No good person should have to be a fugitive from justice. Just make sure to avoid those pretty flowers, because most of the time they are traps. And getting snared by a trap isn’t worth the fun of enjoying the flower. The flower wilts in moments and becomes just another decaying specimen. But the good fight of standing up to state sponsored tyranny is something that will last many lifetimes and is much more satisfying in the long run. Something for everyone so inclined to keep in mind.

The Jacksonville Killer David Katz: Gun control is impossible in this modern age of self production

One of the reasons I have been so interested in Cody Wilson’s quest to print 3D guns and build firearms from the comfort of our own homes is that his approach does great work for the Second Amendment that not even the NRA is daring to pursue. Wilson is actually making a successful argument for the expansion of the Second Amendment as opposed to just trying to stave off incursions against it, as the NRA and most members of congress are relegated to do. Every time there is a mass shooting, such as the one on Sunday at a Madden video game tournament at the Jacksonville Landing in Florida the very first thing that politicians and anti-gun activists did is beg for more gun control. Yet that is never the real answer to the problem of mass shootings—or shootings of any kind. It is only the state’s desire as an institutional element to squelch threats to its existence and it uses every tragedy to propel its argument. So, when the 24-year-old kid David Katz got angry that he lost in the Madden tournament which was taking place that Sunday afternoon he went to his car and grabbed guns to shoot up the people who beat him. The result was 3 people were killed and 11 wounded. Katz killed himself once he had instigated the carnage.

Of course the swell of gun control advocates piled on, but in this shooting, even more so than those in the past, the cries for change were bouncing off hollow walls. Gun control would not solve this problem, the conditions that brought Katz to shoot a bunch of innocent people is much more systemic. He was apparently in turmoil over his divorced parents, like a lot of young people are these days because marriage and family life are not stable for the growth of children as they have been in the past. Intact family development is crucial to the proper mental health of children—one could argue successfully that it is the primary reason to get married in the first place—to properly create children in society.

Additionally, the video game culture is now one of the biggest entertainment platforms in the world, they outsell movies and regular sports events now. That raises the stakes for people like Katz who had won the Madden tournament in the previous year to use that activity as his calling card for peer respect. But even going further, the kid was an anti-Trumper in a political climate that saw great Trump successes and all that was fed by the anti-Trump media, so there are lots of complicit elements that prevented Katz from behaving in a rational way.

For Katz, if it wasn’t guns it would have been a car, a knife or a baseball bat. Clearly, he had mental health problems yet the institutions that were supposed to be doing their jobs on him failed and the kid was a menace to himself and those around him. So the question has been brought up concerning gun control, should the state be able to control his access to firearms because he has a history of mental illness and social instability? Then who is going to decide whether or not Katz is socially stable enough to have a firearm? The same FBI that allowed Bruce Ohr and his wife to create fake documents to fudge up a FISA warrant to spy on the President of the United States—so to dig up dirt on him to get him thrown out of office on impeachment and leaked information to the press to psychologically destroy him. Or a CIA that sends guns to enemies in many countries to topple governments? Deciding who is right and wrong is a matter of perspective on which state-run power is holding more assets, but that does nothing to resolve the matter of individual rights. And that is what the Bill of Rights was all about, particularly the First and Second Amendments.

That is why the Second Amendment needs to be expanded, not weakened, even to issues of common sense such as mental illness, because the state control really isn’t qualified to determine such things. They are not capable, as David Katz is a prime example. Now that guns are invented, even if they are illegal, Katz could always get his hands on them. Someone out there in the world is going to make them in some market and we cannot allow villains to have them and good guys not to. As much as gun control advocates hate the idea of a “wild, wild, west” world where everyone is armed and can kill a bad guy quickly, that is the only way to view the world of today where decentralization of ideas is the cornerstone of our present existence. The very nature of the Madden tournament there at the shopping center in Jacksonville is the evidence of a new world not controlled by the state, and people must adapt to that world. The more centralized the controls are, the more vulnerable the people are who are now operating in a decentralized world, where we order most of our consumer goods on websites like Amazon and get our entertainment on Netflix. Video games have taken the place of actual sports because they are more inclusive, and more immediate than traditional games in the backyards of our homes. And with the divorce rate up, families destroyed, and personal phones giving people more individualized options than ever before, the concept of a centralized state controlling even guns is ridiculous.

While its true that all this technology gives the state more power of surveillance than ever before, that information is useless to that power because the state is too centralized and cannot move fast enough to protect people from threats. It can only clean up the mess afterwards. There were plenty of messages provided by David Katz to attract the attention of the FBI, but what would they do to stop such carnage? Nothing. They could only file a report later and use that information to fuel the anti-gun crowd because at least the deaths might give more power to the state for which the FBI serves. The best way to deal with loose cannons like David Katz was to just shoot him right at the point of the threat. Some of the fellow video gamers at the tournament should have been armed, but the Chicago Pizza restaurant where the tournament was held was a gun free zone. It shouldn’t have been. There should have been many people there armed, not just the killer.

Even at this point if all the guns in the world were confiscated, and possessing guns or gun plans were illegal, there would be massive noncompliance. It would be worse than all the drug laws we have, where compliance never stopped anybody from smoking pot or using cocaine. The drugs came illegally, just like illegal immigration have also come. More gun laws will never stop guns. It will just destroy American jobs. The guns will be made in people’s personal machine shops and from other countries as part of a black market that nobody has any control over, and that is the only path that more gun control will take us on. That is the essential message of Cody Wilson. That now technology has been introduced to our society and that it cannot be reversed. The state forces can seek to eliminate and even rewrite history to keep that information from the minds of people, but with the quick rise of information and the public hunger for it, whether it is in the form of video games, weapons or grocery delivery there is no way to stop what has been unleashed without destroying society itself, which the state has been unwilling to do. The presidency of Donald Trump is an aspect of that new technology, without it, and Wikileaks he likely wouldn’t have ever come close to winning the office of the President. That same technology makes gun control impossible so why even entertain the idea and delay a real solution. The way to stop the crazy loser David Katz was to shoot him dead right there on the spot with Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law. The two impediments to that were the nature of the youth themselves which has not been taught the value of gun ownership from either their parents or their institutions. The other was that the restaurant that the Madden tournament was being held in was a gun free zone. Those two things need to change to truly make events like that one safe. More gun control is not only unrealistic, it runs counter to the very nature of progress itself—and that Genie at this point isn’t going back into the bottle.

Cody Wilson’s ‘Come and Take it’: They don’t like ice in their English drinks, but Americans do

They don’t come along too often these days, but occasionally I read a book that really hits home with me. I am often very surprised when I read them, especially when they come from someone younger than me, but it does happen sometimes. And that is certainly the case with Cody Wilson’s 2016 book Come and Take It: The Gun Printer’s Guide to Thinking Free. It was remarkably well written and provided real insight into the mind of Millennials and how they view liberty. Wilson was remarkably colorful in his literature as he traveled all over Europe and the North American continent from San Francisco, Austin and New York on a journey of self-discovery while taking on the basic understanding of legalisms insulating the federal government from the people they intend to rule. Wilson considers himself an anarchist in the book and takes readers on an almost cryptic behind the scenes look at how such figures think in their natural habitats of London, Austin and even Spain, but what I hear from the young man is a staunch Republican the way they were always supposed to be, and his journey of self-discovery from a sympathetic liberal to an Alex Jones conservative is quite fascinating, largely because he is working with an extensive vocabulary and a real knack for literature and understanding law.

As I was reading this book literally enjoying every page, I kept thinking of how they don’t give you ice in your drinks in London unless you ask for it. When you do ask they treat you like some second-class citizen which of course to an American is a real insult. Who in the hell doesn’t want ice in their Coke? When you go to a McDonald’s or a Burger King in England and you ask for a large drink, what they give you is what we’d consider a child’s cup in America and they think of it as “big.” And it’s not just England, I remember trying to get a large Coke in Paris and what they gave me was this little mini can of pop that was ridiculously small. It was gone in one drink from the can. It reminded me that Europe and America really aren’t compatible. Of course, the rest of the world views both as part of the western world, but the differences are quite extreme and as Cody Wilson reported in his book Come and Take It, he was advised to print something else on his 3D printers, not guns, because Europeans didn’t like them.

Yet that is the point of Come and Take It, Americans love their guns because of what those guns mean and Cody Wilson has done something quite remarkable from a legal perspective. He is challenging in this book and his work at Defense Distributed the very legal foundation for any form of gun control. He’s not just doing what the NRA is committed to, which is preservation of the Second Amendment through activism and legal pressure on the Hill. Cody Wilson is attacking the legal premise for any gun control by a state, and I found him to make a compelling argument that makes a lot of sense. That makes his book Come and Take It one of the greats of American literature right up there with Ralph Waldo Emerson and Ayn Rand—because what he is challenging is a premise that has long been surrendered to all state-run authority and his idea of freedom is at the core of our very Constitution. His position is something that has been nagging at the back of my mind all of my life, but what he has managed to do is put a fine point on it and approach the topic as something we all fear to lose—access to the Second Amendment—but something we can never lose so long as we dare to live, and by the time I closed the book I realized he was 100% correct. He had figured out the answer to a long-mused problem in America, what does the right to bear arms mean and can it be regulated away? The answer is no.

When I first heard about Cody Wilson it was years ago when he first started trying to print a gun on a 3D printer. That is after all what brought so much attention to Wilson, was that he proposed that we were in the age of 3D printing and no matter what kind of gun legislation politicians could come up with that guns were here to stay forever in America, and the world, because the ability to make them and use them had become decentralized through technology. Only back then, I wasn’t too impressed with his Liberator as a weapon. Being made of a kind of plastic, I never had any thoughts that it would hold up as a weapon, so I didn’t pay it much mind. But that was me thinking of the problem in terms of the past, a past that I grew up in where things were manufactured at a store and purchased by driving to the store and picking up what it was you wanted. A society to a large degree decided how you would get those items, whether or not there was a road to even drive on to get to that store. So a certain assumption about the regulation of the manufacturing process was always on my mind. Yet we are living in the age of immediate gratification. My daughter was telling me that she was having her groceries delivered to her house the other day because she didn’t have time to go and that seemed odd to me. There are so many things that you can get brought to your home now, everything from movies to any information in all the most well stocked libraries in the world—everything is literally at our fingertips, and it is happening so rapidly that no government can really hope to regulate it all. It has evolved beyond their control.

Wilson even diagnosis this issue with himself in the book, he correctly understands that the reason the federal government gave him an FFL to begin with is that he stated that he intended to sell firearms, which makes him a contributor to the state. If you contribute to the state’s coffers, they will love you, even if they hate you. Why is Sean Hannity not in jail, because he overpays his taxes. That is why he’s still on the air. Wilson managed to put real thoughts and definitions to this global problem in Come and Take It which was truly fascinating—and refreshing. Why is Paul Manafort in jail, because he sought to deny the state of income—its that simple. Yet how can the state properly regulate firearms when it needs the freedom of the people to perform in order for it to get its money. There lay the problems for the state in regulating firearms in any manner. If the state, whoever the state may be—America, Germany, or China—if they turn off the means for a people to be informed and protect themselves with printable firearms, they also lose the type of economy that produces other forms of great wealth for which the state hungers. Quite and interesting paradox.

Once Wilson won parts of his court case recently and got the attention of President Trump did I revisit some of his work and buy Come and Take It: The Gun Printer’s Guide to Thinking Free. I figured it was worth reading since the kid was in the news so often these days. I wanted to know more about him. I was worried that he’d be one of these Antifa freaks, but as it turned out, he is quite a smart young man who truly does love guns and the Second Amendment. And that love of resistance comes out in this very articulate book that written by anybody else would have been boring and all too legal. Instead, colored by Cody Wilson it has become a work of art and law, and a philosophy that is taking America in a direction it was always destined to take. And gun control is not part of that future because control is not to the state’s advantage. The state needs the freedom of people to feed its massive appetite for taxes and wealth building. And so long as Cody Wilson operates his company Defense Distributed and makes his new Ghost Gunner milling machines, and pays his taxes, the reality of gun control is that it doesn’t exists and can never exist without crushing the very essence for which the state strives. And that is a realization that is very powerful.

Come and Take It: The Gun Printer’s Guide to Thinking Free is a remarkable book, a real treasure. If you haven’t read it yet, you should.

Why Ban Alex Jones: What Cody Wilson and Jesus Christ have in common

If you are like me the timing of the Alex Jones banning on YouTube and Facebook, along with other tech industry social media platforms was a bit odd. After all, he’s been very controversial for a long time. I enjoy Alex Jones. I don’t listen to every episode of his radio show but I’ll turn it on in the shop every now and then as background entertainment. I’m not into the conspiracy theories as much as I like the work he does to expose the pedophile culture and sex trafficking cases that nobody talks about, because it is a tremendous problem. I think Alex Jones does great work just for talking about these kinds of topics, such as the example below where a listener of his posted his show on their own YouTube account. I can’t promise that it will still be there when you read this, but it does show Alex Jones at his best I think. In a free market, Alex Jones certainly does his share of good, so why the sudden, “planned” aggression against him?

Well there are a couple of things going on, first the federal government is losing its case against the Trump administration. The whole thing is falling apart in front of their faces and the “state” is blaming the support of radio hosts like Alex Jones and Sean Hannity for keeping the Trump base alive and well. Sean Hannity is too squeaky clean to attack and he is employed by a fellow corporate media network, so they can only go so far with him. Their attempts to attach the #metoo movement to Sean Hannity haven’t worked because Sean doesn’t cheat on his wife and makes no otherwise flirtatious moves in that direction, so they really don’t know what to do with him. Bill O’Reilly is from a different generation and went down without swinging, but not Sean Hannity. Alex Jones however is much more anti-corporate, so he has few friends in the media. He has a lot of listeners, but not many corporate friends who want to take selfies with him on the golf course.

The other thing is that the Cody Wilson trials on his 3D printed gun concept have been winning at the federal level and it has the gun control advocates reeling. Cody Wilson has been featured on Alex Jones quite a lot and the belief by the mainstreamers is that they both feed the other, so that if one goes down they both will. The terrifying realization that has been exposed by Cody Wilson is that you don’t need a serial number to manufacture a firearm in the United States and you can’t change that now without some major intrusion on the Second Amendment. Cody Wilson as a promising law student figured out this little quandary and has made himself one of the most dangerous people in the world. And he didn’t do it by doing anything other than communicating knowledge. And Inforwars is one of the platforms that was cheering on his efforts. Once Wilson won a verdict in his favor and got the attention of President Trump—favorably, that is when the tech companies cut Alex Jones from their platforms. It happened within a few days actually. Obviously, there is great concern about what Cody Wilson has proposed and the gun control lobby wanted to lash out at someone, because they really couldn’t hit Cody Wilson the way they wanted. So they attacked the audience connection to the information.

Additionally, the kind of topics that Jones covers, like the pedophile rings, the massive sexual abuse that goes on, usually within liberal circles of power are important to discuss. Many people learned for the first time during the 2016 campaign that “spirit cooking” was something that mainstreamers were participating in, which goes back to many of the beliefs that Alister Crowley was advocating, popular use of drugs, sexual perversions, and the domination of the young sexually before their minds launch themselves into an orbit that collective society cannot reach. Their thinking on this matter is an old belief that collective society should stick together and worship the unseen with elements of sacrifice. Through sexual rituals and the actual blood sacrifices to the old gods of yesteryear, the pagan gods of Europe, the gods of Roma and Greece, of Egypt, of Asia, Africa, of the Vikings, that good things would happen for all.

Meanwhile science has shown us that the gods of old were idiots and that we don’t need to sacrifice anything to them—not even our personal liberty. That’s where people like Alex Jones and Cody Wilson become dangerous and a threat to the established order. Honestly the Jews killed Jesus for similar reasons, they had things all worked out with the Romans at the time and here comes Jesus out of the desert roaming around for years away from the controls of the big cities at the time and getting exposure to Buddhism from the east along the various silk roads. So Jesus comes back to Jerusalem and preaches a religion without a need for priests and aristocrats and they didn’t like it, so the Jews and the Romans got together and killed him hoping to show their control over a connection to God. It would take several more hundred years and many sacrifices of the new Christians to the lions in the Colosseum but eventually Roman would adopt Christianity to appease their restless civilization now being attacked from every direction as a way to unify their empire to withstand the threats, but they collapsed to the anarchists of their time, the barbarians from the north who swept in and sacked Rome and destroyed everything Rome had built over the last 500 years in a relatively short period of time leading that part of the world into The Dark Ages.

All Alex Jones has really been trying to stop is a similar progression from happening in the United States. Cody Wilson is doing the same, trying to get everyone to focus on the laws of individual liberty, because that is how nations survive as opposed to collective sacrifice and a retreat to blood-letting and superstition so that the powerful can hold power they’ve gained by what they think are powerful gods ruling over us all. They think these things because they are lazy and lean to the political left. What they don’t understand they fill in the blanks with their own imaginations leaving people who actually ask questions and follow logic a real threat to the existence of sacrificial cults.

The pedophilia culture is excessive and you can see it in most cultures where sports are involved or advanced institutions, such as the Catholic case that is now making the news rounds. People never call it that by name, but when sex with underage children, whether they are boys or girls is advocated in any way, it doesn’t take much to peel back the layers of pretty pictures to get to the ugly facts. It’s not just the Catholic church, but don’t forget Penn State, or the recent scandals surrounding NCAA basketball with Rick Pitino and the challenges of recruiting new athletes to their sports programs. There are a lot of bad, vile things going on, and those institutions didn’t want Alex Jones to be able to point those things out. But the final straw came out when Cody Wilson proposed that personal firearms could not be regulated by the state. It was in a similar way the same as Jesus stopping the vendors in the temple by overturning their kiosks. That’s when Jesus crossed the line and had to be killed, when he interrupted the selling of goods at the temple by the Pharisees.

To really look at things without the lenses of religion but using history as a map, Alex Jones is taking away the power of centralized authority by simply asking questions that the authority figures don’t want anybody to ask. And if they can’t get guns removed from society, they don’t stand a chance of surviving themselves. And that’s what they are really afraid of. What they don’t understand is that whether or not Alex Jones is on the radio, or whether or not Cody Wilson maintains his right to distribute gun blueprints so that weapons can be made in any garage, this movement away from mass sacrifice politically is ending. The beliefs of those people are ridiculously stupid and are collapsing. They have been collapsing for several thousand years now. And the more information people have about the world around them, the less patience they have for tyrants and perverted priests. And we are living in the information age. Trump is president, and it is only going to become more of all that in the years to come. Alex Jones is simply a vehicle for the information. He isn’t the information.

A Great CBS Interview with Cody Wilson: The heart of the entire problem of gun control

There is so much going on in this really good interview between Defense Distributed founder Cody Wilson and CBS News correspondent Tony Dokoupil. At one point during this tense interview for which on the surface is about whether or not individuals have a right to manufacture their own guns free of a federal system of control, Dokoupil asked Wilson to put away the philosophy books and consider how you’d feel is someone used the information and technology you provide for a mass killing, and it was there that the real issue of our day was discussed. CBS just as is very typical of all modern media and politics expects society and the direction of our evolution as a species to yield to the whims of sentiment instead of the foundations of logic and reason which cuts to everything that is wrong at this particular juncture of epistemological evolution. This problem is not only at the center of the gun debate in America but on essentially everything—is society better with a central government regulating everything or with individuals functioning freely and by their own impulses. The hypothetical proposal introduced by Tony Dokoupil obviously believes that a centralized government is needed for an advanced society to evolve, and to keep the bad guys from getting their hands on a weapon so to create mass murder. Yet where Cody Wilson is, is where I am and many, many others on the Second Amendment side. If you keep the guns out of the hands of bad guys, who is not to say that the bad guys do not then evolve out of the strengthening of the “state.” Obviously, we have our answer with how the FBI aligned itself with a political campaign in American elections and showed why they can’t be trusted to perform background checks and centralized gun control, because they will use that power against the people they are supposed to protect, and that makes this interview and especially important one because it articulates this essential dilemma quite nicely.

There were a few moments where the CBS reporter just didn’t have the next layer of contemplation ready. From his side of the thought process the real feat that was being exhibited was in the proposal established by Wilson, that the intentions of mankind cannot be legislated out of existence. That the desires of people cannot be regulated by taking away information. This is the hard truth that China is learning in its communist society. People desire opportunities and limiting their access to a potential activity through censorship doesn’t take away the yearning for information. If someone wants to make a gun, if it’s not Cody Wilson giving the information to that person, it will be someone else. There will never be an all-knowing centralized authority controlling all information. That was essentially the point of what Wilson was making. As human beings, people deserve to have access to information that has the potential to make them freer.

To retreat from this obvious stalemate that was when the option of non-thinking was introduced. The proposal of how Cody Wilson might feel if someone took his work and used it for malice, so that guilt might rule logic. That is currently how our entire political system has been functioning, and there is no civilization on earth that has survived well when such a thing has penetrated its culture. Yet there it was at the foundation of the CBS interview. We all knew that was the position of the political left, and at the heart of all gun confiscation, but the position has never been more grossly revealed with such nudity to conceal its ugliness. That is where the genius of Cody Wilson’s challenges to the modern court system has done such great work.

The question was never about whether gun restriction was about keeping weapons out of the hands of mass murderers. The desire was always to assume that more power given to a centralized state would make for a better world. CBS is perfectly willing to deal with the occasional bad cops in the FBI who will turn their head the other way and let off a political candidate they support, like Hillary Clinton so long as they are there to crush a political rival like Paul Manafort because just as the Nazis did in Germany during the 1930s a political party that CBS happened to support had taken control of the powers of the “state.” If that “state” sometimes got things wrong and put the wrong person in jail, or killed the wrong people in a raid, or even destroyed the liberty of thousands or millions of people, that such collateral damage were acceptable for the greater good. But if one lone gunman like the one who shot up innocent people in Las Vegas recently during a music concert buys a gun and uses it to kill people, then the individual rights of people to defend themselves must be yielded for the safety of all. At that point life and death has new meanings so long as individual rights are surrendered for the greater good of all. The hypocrisy of that fundamental idea is what we are talking about in any discussion of gun control.

When there was no satisfactory answer to the quandary the CBS reporter did what all people do who advocate for more gun control, they asked for a non-thinking answer, forget about philosophy, how would you “feel.” The obvious suggestion is that our American society is supposed to be ruled by feelings and not logic, because that is the only way that such a sycophantic position can be accepted, by feeling and not thinking. What do your thoughts tell you to do? Where do those thoughts come from? Is it from God? Then you should listen to them and give up your rights and surrender yourself to the wisdom of the “state.” You should give up your guns so that the “state” can take care of you. Yet at the heart of that proposal is the fantasy of the weak to rule over the strong by way of bureaucracy, which is always the desire of the “state.” They can’t do that if the people they want to control have weapons equal to their military and police for which are employed by the state to mandate justice as it is defined by the courts—also controlled by the “state.”

I’ll tell you what, I like this guy Cody Wilson. He’s smart enough to point out the hypocrisy of the court system on the issue of the Second Amendment and he has the bureaucratic nature of the power the “state” locked in paralyzing self-analysis. The “state” always seeks to have philosophy always stuck in limbo because their fundamental epistemology is flawed within the proposal on gun control to begin with. The only way that anybody could justify such a rationalization is to not think, but to feel. How would you feel if someone took something you provided and killed people with it? The proposal is that you then shouldn’t do it. Cody Wilson under such a premise should not provide milling machines and blueprints for making guns because someone might use that information to kill mass groups of people. But then that same logic shouldn’t be applied to a government that we’ve instead given all that power to who then goes and kills innocent people and rules over individuals in an unjust way. And there lies the problem, the threat is there whether or not guns exist or not, because the desire to abuse power is part of the human experience. In our social evolution we have discovered that if individuals can protect themselves from such aggression that civilization can advance. But if that protection is then yielded to a state government, then the mass murders aren’t crazed lunatics who should be in an insane asylum, but are government workers protecting their pensions and their liberal ideology from the realities of the world, and they can and often are far more dangerous.
