Anam Paiseanta: The peaceful political revolution – Episode 127

The Story: The peaceful political revolution

There is a natural phenomenon happening where ‘very normal’ people find themselves asking obvious and straightforward questions about everyday things. What’s happening to the weather? What’s happening to my neighbourhood? What’s happening to my investments? Many people can feel that there is something not right. These occurrences are now increasing, the questions are growing, people are peeling back the layers of illusion and asking for truth.

Now we live in a very different and very connected world, where social media and alternative media channels have been fueling ‘the awakening’. The sharing of knowledge, truth and ideas is having a massive effect in the fight to increase awareness. For all of us this is an on-going process, and the spiritual shift is now well underway, though we still have a long way to go.

In this episode Anam Paiseanta joins us to explain that we, as a society, must evolve individually, and join together, to consciously out grow of the current political system. The personal principles needed to get us all moving in the right direction can be found in anarchism. These are all ‘normal’ things – the love and respect for mankind, justice, cooperation, voluntaryism, the non-aggression-principle, personality responsibility and self-ownership. Your personal evolution will path the way to a much larger and social and political revolution. Anam also tells us about the progress on his team’s “Connector” app, which will allow people to connect with like-minded individuals, and even form hidden, counter-economies among themselves.

Here is where Anam’s formula of “A-Cubed” or “the three A’s” is leading to the evolution that enables the real world revolution:
1. Awakening – Sharing knowledge, memes – reminding each other of truth
2. Activism – Prevention of government indoctrination by educating the youth, alternative schooling
3. Agorism – Projects – Counter-economics, creating the new system, what can I do to add value?

The Story:

The simplest argument against gun control is an argument for justice, an argument that a person who has harmed no-one should not be punished. If you accept as a premise the maxim of law that the burden of proof falls on him who claims, not on him who denies, then likewise you will accept the principle of the presumption of innocence, because in the absence of evidence of guilt, one must be assumed to be innocent. Then, if you accept the premise that innocent people should not be punished, then you must draw the conclusion that gun-owners, weapons manufacturers and retailers should not be punished unless there is evidence of their guilt. That means there should be no violence or threats of violence against them, no fines imposed, no restrictions on their liberties, and certainly no imprisonment, unless there is evidence of wrong-doing.

If you formulate a law that says everyone who owns a certain model of firearm should be arrested, then you have made a declaration contrary to justice, for even if a single person possesses that model and only ever uses it responsibly, you have declared that that innocent person should be punished. You might make the argument that, even an excellent court system is not going to be absolutely correct, 100% of the time, and that doesn’t make it a bad court, and likewise, the failure of this law does not make it a bad law. I agree no court system is perfect, however, that is a failure of implementation, not a failure of principle. If a court is good, then the intent of the court was to provide justice, whether they do or not in any individual case. However, the intent of this hypothetical law, and all gun control laws, is to punish people – whether or not they’re guilty, and there is no way that it can ever improve the state of justice.

In this episode, Kurt explores some of the ideas about gun control, why some people think control of firearms is a good idea, and why they are very wrong. Join us in a transcendental journey to freedom, in the next explosive, on-point, hollowpoint episode of … The Paradise Paradox!
