After a decade of near obscurity, the Libertarian Party emerged into political prominence around the time of the election of 1980. This was also the year when Ronald Reagan was elected President. It is thought by many that Reagan’s economic policies most closely resembled those of libertarians. But this was not true. Still, even now, many people think that the libertarian movement is a distinctly American movement fostering liberty and “American values”. On the contrary, the Libertarian Party is merely faux American in principle. It is a party against liberty.

We live in a city on a river. Our city is called New America, and our river is the river Styx. We don’t know how the river got this name, but it is a very wide body of water and, they say, on the other side of the river are some very bad people. We have been at war with them all our lives and almost all the news we receive is about the war and how our Supreme Leader is winning it. We give the bodies of our young to fight this war and some never return. They are lost in the greyness on the other side of the river. We never think about losing them because they don’t know their parents, ...

This theatrical play is based upon poems from Mr. Villegas's book Poetic Prose and Poetry. Some of the poems have been slightly altered to reflect the internal story of the play. The title poem is about the citizen journalist and how he has changed the world through his computer.

This book is designed as a “shorter” explanation of the ideas presented in my larger book, “Behind the Ritual Mask” which seeks to define fundamental principles of religion. I’m hoping this book will serve as a primer for the original book and spur an interest in reading it. The following contains excerpts from the original Forward of the book.When an entrenched, anti-reason culture is presented with new ideas that challenge its fundamental premises, it relies on the power of what is taken as knowledge in the culture in order to defend itself. Indeed, when corrupt ideas are ...

This book is a follow up to the book I wrote entitled “How Pragmatism Destroyed a World”. In this earlier book, I proposed that the philosophy of pragmatism is the major problem causing confusion and doubt in our society. Everywhere we look, as we watch events, we see people intent on creating that confusion in order to “gaslight” people into accepting their rule. Various myths are being stoked and repeated to give people the impression there are “problems” that must be dealt with. The truth is that pragmatism is a gimmick and a deception.

The professors at Harvard and Princeton don’t want you to know about the worst ideas in history. This is because they have been pawning these ideas off as true and profound. They have been using them to deceive and manipulate us for centuries. Yet, ideas of such monumental import should be known to everyone so society could make informed decisions about the future. In fact, you might be surprised to learn that the most destructive ideas in history have been barely noticed for generations. In fact, most college professors foster them, promote them and work according to their principles. ...

This is the second edition of this groundbreaking book. The enemy of individual rights today is a group I call the Alinsky Radicals. They are associated, philosophically and politically, with the communists and fascists of the past. They are not your father’s liberals. In this book, I provide the intellectual ammunition you need to eradicate these radicals from society. First, we’ll identify the context that enabled these parasites to emerge. Then we’ll analyze the fundamental principle in Hegel’s philosophy and show that it is untrue and unworkable. We’ll also examine their other...

This book includes two chapters from my book Individualism that I have decided to publish as a separate small book with related content.

If psychology has no solid epistemology and metaphysics, how can it stand on its own? I do not think it can and this explains why psychology is in such a sad state today. Yet, before we can put psychology on a solid foundation, philosophy too must advance above the level of puberty. With its base in modern philosophy, even philosophy cannot stand on its own which exposes the real problems with modern psychology. We must indict psychology by looking at its philosophical bases in Hume and Kant. We will examine this later. Suffice to say that modern psychology is based upon false premises that...

One of the most important goals for any person is to establish intellectual independence. Intellectual independence is the road to “life” independence, which is the ability to earn your own way without help from others. Typically, this goal is a characteristic of the American individualist compared to his European cousins who can barely conceive of such a “predatory” mindset. Needless to say, it is also the opposite of the collectivist mindset that is becoming more common on the scene in America. This book teaches self-reliance and respect for the self as opposed to dependence and ...

Many people think the best way to make a difference in society is to do charitable things for others. This book argues that there is another aspect of altruism (sacrifice for the sake of society) that connects it to collectivism, human sacrifice, re-distribution, and mass murder. All socialist systems, including communism, and welfare-statism, are based upon altruism (taking from the productive and giving to the poor). The question then, for altruism, is not about how many people benefit but, rather, how many people are needlessly exploited? Additionally important, is not whether altruism ...

This booklet is the companion workbook to my book Rational Meditation. It utilizes the various exercises described in the original book to assist you in contemplation or meditation and it provides space for written input by the reader through their Kindle Reader. The idea is to take the sections that involve written input and contemplation and to collect them into one practical “place” that the individual can use as he meditates on these matters. I have tried to supplement the book chapters where necessary in the original book.

This book is made up of several chapters about American values and how they can be defended without a descent into the abyss of dictatorship. The book argues for individual rights and provides reasons why we should fight for them.

I wrote this book to ask some important questions: 1. Will we become again a free people, deciding as individuals the direction of our lives or will we continue to be herded into groups and classes to be favored or rejected by a ruling elite? 2. Will we be free to start businesses, earn profits and keep those profits or will we be enslaved in order to feed the government as it advances social engineering and corporatist (cronyist) schemes? 3. Will we pay high taxes of low taxes? 4. Will we be allowed to participate in our own lives or be mindless slaves to the wishes of others? 5. Will we ...

The purpose of this book is to delve into critical issues about how the human mind has come to the modern position of doubt and despair. The culprits in this matter include the irrationality of both rationalism and skepticism, and, in particular, the child of skepticism known as pragmatism. Our age is an age of irrationalism specifically because these philosophical concepts lead to doubt, confusion, and denial of reality.

Amerigo was born in a time of desperation and dystopia. He was the only man with the vision of a great future. Many repaired to his cause while others swore to destroy him. They wanted his life, his mind and everything he loved. He swore that no matter what they did, he would win the struggle for freedom and a new future.

This book analyzes Human Sacrifice and its modern form Altruism providing new insight into the most deadly and evil idea ever propagated upon mankind. The book argues clearly that altruism is the cause of most man-made catastrophes and results in harm to the individual and destruction of civil society.The book also argues that the best way forward for man is to reject the concepts of altruism and collectivism and replace them with individualism and individual rights.

Every individual has a yearning to know that he is both free and good. This yearning comes to him from early youth, and he hopes that he eventually develops the intellectual tools to help him distinguish between his nature and the demands of society. The key to freedom is the ability to act without restriction and, especially, without guilt. But what happens when you are confronted with the demands of people who have no good intentions? What if those intentions conflict with your principles and your peace of mind? It is at this point when you cry a soft cry, when you realize that you are ...

Calming the mind and quiet thinking are two new premises of rational meditation. This guide to rational thinking takes on mysticism, mindfulness and eastern religious influences by explaining how they do not help men live by means of reason and rational thinking. Mindfulness, in particular, is the meditation system of the left. The author shows how meditation can be done without mysticism, leftist philosophy and the denigration of the individual. Rational Meditation is not about collective joining with groups of like-minded people (Plato) and/or becoming Hephaistos (Freud and Jung). It is ...
