Every jurisdictional flag, and every ritual, is a form of submission to some external agency, and therefore a denial of conscious, rational agency manifested in the Self, which is the only source of authority and value. Our moral status is validated solely through rational deliberation with others, as beings of the same kind. No flag can validate non-sense, and sense does not need a flag to signify or protect it, because sense is being. It stands in its own right, on 3 logical pillars which are One law of being.
Facial Recognition Profiling Begins at School.

Did your kids have their school photos taken this year? Did you read the terms and conditions under which these photos are taken? Do you know what happens to those high resolution digital image files after you purchase your prints? Are they deleted or someone gets to keep them? Who owns this data? If you did not check these details then your child is probably already on a facial recognition database. I have investigated this and one major company which is contracted to take photos in many public and private schools retains all photos indefinitely, “just in case you would want another copy anytime in the future”. Moreover, when contacted they refused to agree to delete photos if ordered to do so; your agreement to have your photos taken without the contract including explicit provisions prohibiting data retention (to which they refused to agree) appears to gives them artistic ownership. And this is legal, and if you do not read the fine print and see what is missing then you are part of the problem.

This is a fascinating piece, a statement of the truth that immorality (which is fundamentally just internalised irrationality) leads to madness, nihilism, self-nihilation. I have once written that “only when everything is permitted we will find out who we really are, to what levels of depravity we are willing to stoop, or raise above. Only absolute moral freedom can reveal our moral essence, which is the cumulative effect of all our thoughts and actions... Through our actions we judge ourselves.” But there is also a trap here, a final seduction to draw the “truly righteous” to their doom: “The rage of the truly righteous will come and burn the fascists alive.” Is this not the very essence of fascism as defined in the same article, to believe that you are the “truly righteous” and that this gives you the authority to “burn the fascists alive” without metaphysical consequences? Every “golden age” grown from the seed of moral transgression will end in nihilism and destruction; this is the cycle of nature, still just smart-animal consciousness, irreflexive, but reflexive consciousness is above nature, it transcends nature. Man is a mirror. https://decider.com/2019/07/17/too-old-to-die-young-season-finale-recap/
A Personal Reminder

My responsibility is not to convince anyone of anything, but to be rational to the limit of my capacities; not to make any final determination but to sustain rational discourse in the face of fear, anxiety, pride and anger. My responsibity is to rational consciousness itself, and so is yours. Rational discourse is of itself a transformative experience, a tide that raises all boats.
My Email to Rod Barton MP (VIC) 01.12.2021

Dear Rod,

I have recently made the following submission to the Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee, arguing that the Pandemic Bill inappropriately delegates power and therefore will be Ultra Vires even if passed by the upper House. In summary, any Act purporting to make a delegation of power to temporarily rule by decree, be it by one man or by a group of committees, can never be lawful, because the parliament does not possess the constitutional authority to restrict our freedoms without first passing law on each specific restriction by a majority vote of both houses. A non-existent authority cannot be delegated or enacted. Please oppose this aberration. The future of Victoria is in your hands.


Public Submission to The Scrutiny of Acts and Regulations Committee.

I am referring to the proposed PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELLBEING AMENDMENT (PANDEMIC MANAGEMENT) BILL 2021 (henceforth, ‘The Bill’).

Dear members of the Committee,

I ask you to consider the following logical proof that The Bill inappropriately delegates legislative power.

Summary:

The Parliament of Victoria does not possess the constitutional authority to infringe on citizen freedoms without first passing a law to that effect by a majority vote in both Houses of Parliament. A non-existent authority cannot be delegated. Therefore, delegation of powers to limit citizen freedoms at the Government’s or Minister’s discretion is Ultra Vires.

In essence, the delegation of discretionary powers to infringe on citizen freedoms by any Act is void because it exceeds the procedural authority of the Parliament itself.

Analysis:

The principle of Ultra Vires was succinctly formulated by Justice Griffith in Sydney Municipal Council v Commonwealth, HCA 50 (26 April 1904): “... if the authority which assumes to create such a delegation does not itself possess the power, the delegation is void, since the spring cannot rise higher than its source.”

The legislative power in the State of Victoria is vested solely in the Parliament (s16, Constitution Act 1975), where the "Parliament" includes each House of the Parliament, the members of each House, the committees of each House and joint committees of both Houses (s94B.7). The only means of making legally binding restrictions on freedoms under the constitution is therefore by the majority vote of the Parliament.

The proposed Pandemic Management powers are essential a delegation of the constitutional authority to make legally binding restrictions on freedoms. If the delegation were not an extension of the legislative authority of the Parliment it would not have the force of law. Pandemic Management powers, once assumed, are exercised by the decree of the Minister.

The constitutional objection is that the Parliament does not have the authority to dispense with or bypass any element of the legislative process set in the Constitution (including the majority vote by both houses). The Parliament cannot delegate powers it does not itself possess, since a non-existent authority cannot be delegated; to affirm otherwise would be a violation of the law of non-contradiction, therefore a priori false. More formally, if X is a specific Parlimentary authority that is identical to the delegated authority X, then X=X, but if the the original authority does not exist, then not-X=X, therefore contradiction. Or simply, I cannot give you something that does not exist.

Any Act of Parliament that would purport to delegate powers that exceed the procedural limits of the Parliament itself is therefore Ultra Vires and Void.

Best Regards,

Michael Kowalik
For those who endured

Covid vaccination mandates, backed by unprecedented social, psychological and economic coercion, violate the right to free medical consent, without which every other right can be subverted, even the right to life. If you would acquiesce to this violation when you have the capacity to resist, you would not only give up that right for yourself but for your children and for future generations, and you do not have the moral right to do this. Every day that you do not acquiesce to this moral wrong is a small victory, but over time, these small victories amount to a triumph. You would have had moments of doubt, of powerlessness, anxiety, but after all the lockdowns, vilification, psychological manipulation and economic coercion you are still standing, you have not been defeated, and this is a triumph of moral conscience, a revelation of your integrity. Let this be the source of your strength and of self-renewing courage. You should be buzzing with energy. You have passed the initiation of the human spirit that many have failed. You have faced the greatest power on Earth, who have schemed in the shadows, poisoning us for generations and corrupting our reason, but you have proven yourself to be like a sea, like an ocean deep enough to receive this polluted river without yourself becoming polluted. To prevail untainted against such a corrupting power is the true Power; it transcends the Earth. For those who have not colluded, who did not submit to coercion, who endured, I salute you.

Everyone has the capacity to create money, legally, independently of the national fiat currency.

Once upon a time, paper money was known as Promissory Notes, a kind of certificate issued by the buyer in which they agreed to pay the seller, or anyone else who would lawfully own the certificate, with a specific quantity of precious metals (or anything else of value). The seller could then transfer the certificate to someone else in exchange for goods or services, provided that this secondary seller had enough trust in the person issuing the certificate to meet their payment obligation when called upon. If this capacity to pay were in doubt, the price of the certificate would be discounted from its nominal value in order to compensate for the risk taken. If trust were good, then the promissory note would circulate just like bank notes. In fact “bank notes” were initially just promissory notes issued by private banks, and since banks were considered the most trustworthy of debtors, their notes were circulating on par with State-backed fiat currency. Promissory notes defined, see Part IV: http://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/boea1909148/

In a community where people have established a degree of trust this means of payment could be an easy and highly functional substitute for state currency. Promissory notes could be redeemable in state currency, metal species, specific produce, other commodities, or even in hours of professional/trade labour. But personal trust is not even necessary for promissory notes to be accepted as a means of payment. In times of monetary scarcity, such as we remember from the Great Depression, it would be in the interest of companies to accept promissory notes in order to sustain the economy and thus to preserve themselves. Also, payment of promissory notes can be enforced under the existing contract law, if the maker of the note would fail to fulfil their obligations.

Privately issued promissory notes can also be systematised as a digital currency, even under Zero Trust conditions, by utilising collateral certification. The crucial take away here is that the banking system is entirely unnecessary to the economy, nor is the national fiat currency. WE DO NOT NEED THEM, they need us. I have introduced this model here: https://culturalanalysisnet.wordpress.com/2018/12/04/introduction-to-robust-secured-crypto-currency/

The ‘opposition’ never once raised the issue that the pandemic Bill either involves an improper delegation of legislative power, and is therefore not law, or it does not involve legislative power, and is therefore not law. The parliament does not possess the constitutional authority to restrict our freedoms apart from passing a law on each specific restriction by a majority vote of both houses. If it does not possess such authority, it cannot delegate to anyone else, under any Act.
I went to two “non-essential” shops today, waited out the front until I got staff’s attention, I told them what I want, they asked whether I want to come in, I said no I am not allowed to, they said “unvaccinated?”, I said Yes. They went out of the way to look after me with a smile and gave me a discount. My suggestion: do not hide the fact that you are being excluded for not submitting to medical coercion; they need to see real, dignified people being excluded. Their conscience will do the rest.
QLD Education Minister says: “We have a responsibility to parents and carers who want to know their children are in safe environments”, but children will never be safe without the right to free medical consent. The teachers who do not comply with medical coercion are fighting for children’s safety.
Without the right to free medical consent you have no rights, because every other right can be medically subverted. To have no rights implies having no moral status, no agency, no intrinsic value. Medical coercion devalues conscious agency, but because it is an expression of someone’s conscious agency, it also devalues and ultimately nihilates itself. This is the essence of evil.
Lockdowns and other Covid-related restrictions on economic activity amount to a massive wealth transfer from the productive end of the economy to the global banking cartel who are the primary holders of public debt.
Freedom and wealth equality are mutually exclusive concepts; you can have either one or the other, but by giving up creative freedom you would be giving up your humanity, and therefore the reason to care about wealth, therefore contradiction. Moreover, without unequal distribution of resources there can be no wealth, because economic value is based on scarcity, on what one person has that another does not have but wants, therefore the idea of wealth equality is absurd on this count also. Cultures where creative freedom and, by implication, individual property rights, are suppressed, are committed to universal destitution. This does not mean that we ought to blindly pursue economic wealth, but rather, that we must preserve creative freedom above all else, in order to preserve humanity. To do this effectively we must acknowledge that wealth concentration can also be used to suppress the freedom of others.
Covid will uncover everything fake, and it is nowhere near being done yet. The crucial question we must all ask ourselves is: if some of that fakeness were in me, would I want to know?
