Professor Jason Morgan, of Reitaku University in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, joins us to discuss his article on how private security is insufficient to secure a free state, how security providers like the samurai, the Praetorian Guard, and the Pinkertons tend to transform into statist nuisances, and why a popular militia of armed citizens, trained in the martial arts, is necessary for liberty and international peace. This is the real purpose of the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms.

Bitcoin’s increasing popularity is invoking calls for its suppression, with some calling it a threat to US national security that undermines the dollar. 

Yet, what are the characteristics and uses of sound money in the first place? 

What is a government’s role in regulating money when that government is designed to secure liberty in the present and for posterity?

We illustrate the issue using political conditions during Tokugawa Japan and the iconic samurai cinema and manga story, Lone Wolf and Cub, the baby cart assassin.

Dr. Edwin Vieira explains how the Second Amendment, taken in context with the militia clauses of the Constitution, can put an end to modern gun control, while also putting an end to the COVID19 lockdowns. 

The COVID19 pandemic has revealed gaps in the promise of self-government yet the Constitution already has the solutions. The authorities already exist in the ‘supreme law of the land’ and by revitalizing local institutions, deemed necessary to the security of a free state, people and communities can decentralize political control so as to put an end to the creeping tyranny at the federal and state levels while simultaneously protecting the right to keep and bear arms.

This is a comprehensive, legal solution for restoring liberty, to ourselves and our posterity. Yet self-government active civic engagement, not reliance upon politicians, bureaucrats, and technocrats.

Dr. Edwin Vieira discusses how medicine and science can be funded without resort to politically manipulated, technocratic bureaucracies. The COVID19 pandemic has revealed gaps in the promise of self-government yet the Constitution already has the solutions. Leveraging existing authorities to revitalized local institutions, deemed necessary to the security of a free state, people and communities can decentralize political control and put an end the creeping tyranny at the federal and state levels while simultaneously protecting Second Amendment rights.

This is the solution for those seeking a strategy to restore liberty, yet it, like all self-government, requires active participation.

Physical posture is much more than bodily arrangement. Posture impacts physical health, mental awareness, and emotional attitude, as well as martial readiness. Proper posture is essential to securing your liberty because it is the common thread between mind, body, spirit, and the body of all your affairs.

Posture is fundamental to samurai related martial arts but “kamae” is a comprehensive term that includes the physical body, relationships to potential opponents or environmental threats, in addition to the tools and resources at your disposal. 

Prevailing in conflict, or avoiding it in the first place, requires embodying a resilient posture and being well practiced with tactical breathing techniques is the best way to release stress, eliminate tension from the body, and elevate your situational awareness; so you can achieve optimal performance. 

Posture, in combination with deep abdominal breathing, is the quickest path to the flow state.

Those looking to secure Second Amendment gun rights as well as a libertarian strategy, an actual plan for practical implementation to restore liberty, should look to the works of Dr. Edwin Vieira for Constitutional principles and legal authorities already available to radically decentralize and put the power of purse and sword at the most local level. 

Not only does this legal approach protect gun rights under the Second Amendment, it prevents the current drift toward martial law, and restores the principles of self-government.
