Gang signs and major news events

There were 33 miners trapped in the Chilean mine collapse. Fine, 33 is just one number among many. But it happened on Aug. 5th and 8+5 = 13. I'm becoming less and less inclined to believe in coincidences in dates and other numbers in major news events.

This got me thinking about something I've been pondering for a while. If governments are basically just gangs that happen to have captured the moral high-ground of legitimacy (Rothbardian theory of government), then it makes sense that they might have gang-signs. Flags, emblems and other visible signs of affiliation have long served the same roles that gang signs serve: marking territory, vouching loyalty, intimidating victims, warding off enemies, and so on.

For example, this fellow insightfully noticed that the number of dead in the plane-crash that killed the President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski, and quite a few other high-ranking Polish officials was initially (correctly) reported to be around 95 persons but later (incorrectly) revised up to 132! What kind of journalistic mistake is that? More importantly, he noticed the occurrence of the number 32... 132.

The numbers 13, 32 and 33 are all well-known to have significance to the Freemasons. Now, I'm not so uncritical as to assume that this means that the Freemasons are, in fact, responsible for these acts. Perhaps the numbers also have meaning to other secret societies. Or, perhaps it's the fact that the numbers are simply well-known to have significance that they can serve as a signal - to those who know to look for such signals - that this was a staged or covered-up event.

I posted on 9/11 and numerology sometime back, just for fun. However, the more I look into this, the more I think there's actually some substance to this and it doesn't end with numbers. Shapes of things, such as the Pentagon, also matter. Symbols and shapes from esoteric societies - such as Bohemian Grove - can be found in TV shows (the interior decor of every other sitcom happens to have an owl hanging on the wall! Check out Frank and Marie's kitchen in the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond... I've also noticed owls in George Lopez and Everybody Hates Chris), music, even corporate logos. Just search YouTube, there's dozens of catchy videos (this is my favorite) illustrating my point. Are such references just large-cap versions of those designs left behind by spray-painting taggers?

Anyway, I'll be combing any big news story that hits the wire for this kind of thing. Call me crazy if it makes you feel any better.

The Constitution has gone to the dogs

Actually, it should have gone to the dogs, but didn't. I'm talking about  Leona Helmsley's estate , of course. The contract clause of the Constitution says, "No State shall ... pass any ... Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts..." This means that private contracts cannot be changed by legislative edict. This clause is incredibly important because the willingness of private individuals to engage in profitable enterprise - which is the foundation of social welfare - crucially depends on their belief that they can realize a profit. In turn, their belief that they can realize a profit depends on their belief that they can hold parties to a contract liable to the terms in the contract. For example, lenders must have confidence that they can repossess the collateral for a loan if the loan is defaulted on. Otherwise, they will not take the risk of giving the loan in the first place. When lenders are too scared to lend, everyone is worse off. In the case of Leona Hel...

So, I spent all weekend watching JFK assassination videos and doing armchair JFK assassination research. Here are my notes: 1) Most of the debate seems to rage around trying to get evidence or proof that JFK's assassination was a conspiracy. This is silly because it grants - from the outset - the bizarre assumption made by the official theories that political figures are as likely to die at the hands of "mad attention-seekers" as they are to be assassinated by their enemies who actually stand to benefit. How many people are insane enough to think that the electric chair is a fair trade for "being remembered" by history, even if in infamy? And of those people how many are resourceful enough to pierce the security perimeter of the President of the United States? Kennedy was threatened by Richard Pavlick in 1960 after Nixon lost the election and, by all accounts, Pavlick was a lone nut. But all we know of his "assassination attempts" are his own tall tale...

What Law Is

Law What is law? Frederic Bastiat, in his treatise The Law, defines law as the collective use of force. As much as I love Bastiat’s treatise, I think his definition is not sufficiently analytical. It is certainly the case that the law plays a role in the collective use of force but the law is something more basic than this. We can begin by looking at law as it is today. The website for the Oregon courts has an excellent summary [1] of modern law and courts. I will quote it at length: Throughout history, people have had disputes and have needed some means to settle their disputes. As civil societies develop, they need an orderly system of conflict resolution. One system that developed in "western" cultures is the "law court" or court of law. In England, those early law courts developed a "body of law" called the common law, which defined both the rights of the people and the government and the duties people owe each other and their government. T...
