-
- ==== To The Governments & People of Earth: ====
- We claim the right to exist, and we will defend it.
- We do not seek to overthrow anything. We do not seek to control anything. We
- merely wish to be left alone.
- All we ever wanted was to live in peace with our friends and neighbors. For a
- long, long time we bore insults to our liberty; we took blows, we did what we
- could to avoid injury and we worked through the system to get the offenses to
- stop. That has now changed.
- We no longer see any benefit in working through the world?s systems. At some
- point, working within a system becomes cowardly and immoral; for us, that
- point has arrived.
- Regardless of the parties in power, their governments have continued to
- restrict, restrain and punish us. We hereby reject them all. We hereby
- withdraw from them all. We hold the ruling states of this world and all that
- appertains to them to be self-serving and opposed to humanity.
- We now withdraw our obedience and reclaim the right to strike back when
- struck. We will not initiate force, but we do reserve the right to answer it.
- We did not choose this ? it was forced upon us.
-
- ==== To The Governments of Earth: ====
- You are building cages for all that is human. In the name of protection, you
- have intruded into all areas of human life, far exceeding the reach of any
- Caesar. You claim ultimate control of our property and our decisions, of our
- travels and even our identities. You claim ownership of humanity far beyond
- the dreams of any Emperor of any previous era.
- Understand clearly: We reject your authority and we reject your legitimacy. We
- do not believe that you have any right to do the things you do. You have
- massive power, but no right to impose it upon us and no legitimacy. We have
- forsaken you. We are no longer your citizens or your subjects.
- Your systems are inherently anti-human, even if all their operators are not.
- We are not merely angry young people. We are fathers and mothers; aunts,
- uncles and grandparents; we are business owners and trusted employees; we are
- mechanics and engineers and farmers. We are nurses and accountants and
- students and executives.
- We are on every continent.
- This is not a burst of outrage; this is a sober declaration that we no longer
- accept unearned suffering as our role in life.
- For long decades we sat quietly, hoping that things would turn around. We took
- no actions; we suffered along with everyone else. But after having our limits
- pushed back again and again, we have given up on your systems.
- If our fellow inhabitants of this planet wish to accept your rule, they are
- free to do so.
- We will not try to stop them. We, however, will no longer accept your
- constraints upon us.
- - - From now on, when you hurt us, we will bite back. If you leave us alone we
- will leave you alone and you can continue to rule your subjects. We are happy
- to live quietly. But if you come after us, there will be consequences.
- You caused this because of your fetish for control and power. The chief men
- and women among you are pathologically driven to control everyone and
- everything that moves upon this planet. You have made yourselves the judge of
- every human activity. No god-king of the ancient world ever had the power that
- your systems do.
- You have created a world where only the neutered are safe and where only
- outlaws are free.
-
- ==== To The People of Earth: ====
- We seek nothing from you. We do not want to rule you and we do not want to
- control you.
- All we wish is to live on earth in peace. As always, we will be helpful
- neighbors and generous acquaintances. We will remain honest business partners
- and trustworthy employees. We will continue to be loving parents and
- respectful children.
- We will not, however, be sacrificial animals. We reject the idea that others
- have a right to our lives and our property. We will not demand anything from
- you, and we will no longer acquiesce to any demands upon us. We have left that
- game. We reject all obligations to any person or organization beyond honesty,
- fair dealing and a respect for human life.
- We will shortly explain what we believe, but we are not demanding that you
- agree with us. All we ask is that you do not try to stop us. Continue to play
- the game if you wish; we will not try to disrupt it. We have merely walked
- away from it.
- We wish you peace.
-
- ==== To Those Who Will Condemn Us: ====
- We will ignore you.
- We welcome and seek the verdict of a just God, before whom we are willing to
- expose our innermost thoughts. Are you similarly willing?
- We would stand openly before all mankind if it were not suicidal. Perhaps some
- day we will have to accept slaughter for our crime of independence, but not
- yet.
- Your criticism and your malice are much deeper than mere disagreements of
- strategy or philosophy. You do not oppose our philosophy, you oppose our
- existence. Our presence in the world means that your precious ideals are
- false. Some of you would rather kill us than face the loss of your ideologies,
- just as those like you have either hated or killed every sufficiently
- independent human.
- You present yourselves to the world as compassionate, tolerant and
- enlightened, but we know that your smooth words are costumes. Oh yes, we know
- you, servant of the state; don?t forget, we were raised with you. We played
- with you in the schoolyard, we sat next to you in the classroom. Some of us
- studied at the same elite universities. We watched as you had your first
- tastes of power. We were the boys and girls standing next to you.
- Some of us were your first victims. We are not fooled by your carefully
- crafted public image.
-
- ==== What We Believe ====
- #1: Many humans resent the responsibilities that are implied by consciousness.
- We accept those responsibilities and we embrace consciousness. Rather than
- letting things happen to us (avoiding consciousness), we accept
- consciousness and choose to act in our own interest.
- We do not seek the refuge of blaming others, neither do we take refuge in
- crowds. We are willing to act on our personal judgment, and we are willing
- to accept the consequences thereof.
-
- #2: We believe in negative rights for all: That all humans should be free to
- do whatever they wish, as long as they do not intrude upon others; that no
- man has a right to the life, liberty or property of another; that we oppose
- aggression, fraud and coercion.
-
- #3: We do not believe that our way of life, or any other, will make life
- perfect or trouble-free. We expect crime and disagreements and ugliness, and
- we are prepared to deal with them. We do not seek a strongman to step in and
- solve problems for us.
- We agree to see to them ourselves.
-
- #4: We believe in free and unhindered commerce. So long as exchanges are
- voluntary and honest, no other party has a right to intervene ? before,
- during or after.
-
- #5: We believe that all individuals should keep their agreements.
-
- #6: We believe that honestly obtained property is fully legitimate and
- absolute.
-
- #7: We believe that some humans are evil and that they must be faced and dealt
- with. We accept the fact that this is a difficult area of life.
-
- #8: We believe that humans can self-organize effectively. We expect them to
- cooperate. We reject impositions of hierarchy and organization.
-
- #9: We believe that all humans are to be held as equals in all matters
- regarding justice.
-
- #10: We believe that the more a man or woman cares about right and wrong, the
- more of a threat he or she is perceived to be by governments.
-
- #11: We believe that there are only two true classes of human beings: Those
- who wish to exercise power upon others ? either directly or through
- intermediaries ? and those who have no such desires.
-
- #12: Large organizations and centralization are inherently anti-human. They
- must rely upon rules rather than principles, treating humans within the
- organization as obedient tools.
-
- ==== Our Plans: ====
- We are building our own society. We will supplement traditional tools with
- networking, cryptography, sound money, digital currency and anonymous
- messaging. Our society will not be centrally controlled. It will rely solely
- on voluntary arrangements.
- We welcome others to join us. We are looking for people who are independent
- creators of value, people who act more than talk, and people who do the right
- thing because it is the right thing.
- We will develop our own methods of dealing with injustice, built on the
- principles of negative rights, restitution, integrity and equal justice.
- We do not forbid anyone from having one foot in each realm ? ours and the old
- realm - although we demand that they do no damage to our realm. We are fully
- opposed to any use of our realm to facilitate crime in the old realm, such as
- the hiding of criminal proceeds.
- We expect to be loudly condemned, libeled and slandered by the authorities of
- the old regime. We expect them to defend their power and their image of
- legitimacy with all means available to them. We expect that many gullible and
- servile people will believe these lies, at least at first.
- We will consider traps laid for us to be criminal offenses.
- Any who wish to join us are encouraged to distribute this declaration, to act
- in furtherance of our new society, to voluntarily excel in virtues and to
- communicate and cooperate with other members of the new society.
-
- Free, unashamed men cannot be ruled.
-
- We are The Free and The Unashamed.
