hacksteaders, unite!

first and foremost i'd like to thank KOW4LSK1 for the neologism hacksteader.... it got my smooth brain firing on a few cylinders.

q: what is a hacksteader? a: a hacksteader is a homesteading hacker.

never in my wildest dreams could i imagine that those who “live on the land” might also kn0w how to navigate a command-line but alas...

see, here's the th!ng—-back-to-the-landers who choose to live in the wilderness, the countryside, in a mountain village or a cottage somewhere typically tend to either treat digital tools as peripheral or simply unknowable.

little did 1 realize there is a middle path, a subculture of rural-dwelling impresarios who hack and homestead. i take a personal interest in such an intersection.

homesteaders are the ultimate diy'ers.

there have been days where i have had to re-route plumbing in my cabin, change the oil on a vehicle, fell a tree, and setup a tor relay on an sbc.

now i'm studying how to setup a mesh network in my rural neighborhood using point to multi-point network topology + yggrdrasil, meshtastic, or reticulum.

but i also want to improve my potato yield next year, build a guesthouse, and excavate a pond.

turns out there are others who like to get their hands dirty in the day and geek out at night, all in the spirit of freedom and truth.

what a time to be alive...

giving more thought about how to distill the concept of privacy for children so that it can be made into a storybook has compelled me to reflect upon my own experiences with privacy as a child.

in doing so i must confess i was surprised to realize that i was raised with very little privacy from birth to about 16 years of age.

holy shit, i think to myself. that can't be healthy, can it?

the house i did most of my growing up in with my mother, father, and brother was not conducive to privacy. i had to leave the house to have more than a night's sleep worth of privacy, even then all the bedrooms were sandwiched next one another with only drywall and a bit of fiberglass insulation between each space.

time i spent out of my home was spent in the General Daycare/Workforce Training Camp commonly known as school. aside from an actual prison or a detention center i could not think of a less private place to be as a child. with the exception of bathroom breaks, this kind of institutionalization required that i be under constant supervision by staff, or in the ever-present company of my peers, lest i be seen as a loner or suspicious malcontent.

so schooling is actually where privacy goes to die.

now how am i supposed to describe these discoveries in a children's book? i guess that's the noble challenge.

we must also realize that parents in industrial societies are conditioned to mistrust a child or teenager who wants unsupervised play.

notice how i haven't even mentioned the involvement of the web and computer technology yet.

i had the good fortune of growing up largely without the web, so at least that dimension to my privacy was not part of the equation.

so the whole song-and-dance of industrial society serves not only to discourage privacy, but to deprive the individual of it on a systemic level: at home, at “school”, in the workplace (unless it is a solitary job), in prison.

when seen through the lens of power differentials, spiritual warfare, and the neofeudal paradigm we now find ourselves in, it is plain to see that the elimination of privacy for the individual, and the gradual criminalization of it, is a high priority to the criminal class firmly in control of govts, multinationals, and nonprofits worldwide.

after all, civilians who don't have the time and space to enjoy their own company and kindle an inner life are completely helpless, disempowered. thus they are no threat to this thousand year Reich we have on our hands.

i'm starting to think a children's book about this all might be more important to the mothers and fathers themselves than the little ones...

been a minute.

i'm torn between writing one of two kid's books, a picture book on privacy and a storybook about the trivium.

even if i don't actually author a children's book about privacy, the thought-process alone has been rewarding. it has allowed me to think about the subject in very simple terms, which happens to be immensely useful when trying to communicate thoughts and ideas to little ones as well as (dumbed down) adults.

privacy seems like a smart thing to teach to kids ffs. it should help them learn about the surveillance state. kids should know that they are allowed and encouraged to have a space and time to develop an inner self without being monitored or constantly surrounded by other people.

i had very little privacy as a child. compulsory schooling (i.e. institutionalization) actually had a lot to do with it because for 10 months of the year for roughly 8 hours a day 5 days per week i was seldom in my own company. no wonder some of us never develop much of a personality after their time in skool. you can't expect to become an 1ndividual without an 1nner life.

privacy is often the prerequisite.

parents and child alike would profit tremendously from a book about privacy, not just bodily privacy (of which those books are plentiful) but the whole package, online and afk.

try reading them something other than fucking paw patrol or whatever braindead disney tales you're brainwashing your kids with. the future will be a freer one for our descendants if they know what they are up against.

foil the plans for their panopticon. stalk the watchers. empower the youth.

I know that now.

Never used to be keen. I am keen now. I actually used to mock them, and in some ways I still do. “OoOo lOoK At Me I uSe XmPp”.

They are a curious part of the web where sharing is rampant. Sharing is the cornerstone of these places. Of course, there is your melodrama and absurdity; banality and sabotage and wholesale trivialities and general ugliness, yet it is all being shared.

This is why it is so threatening to authoritarians, especially those online enclaves where hackers and freethinkers log-in. Free speech. Free circulation of ideas, information, perspectives. Toss some cypherpunks into the mix and you got something you can't control. Which is mostly good, I think. Unfortunately, those wacky authoritarians will also see opportunities to compromise such spaces with propaganda of all stripes, an easy assignment given how tenaciously the public has been propagandized.

Censors do not want chatrooms to exist. Not without a great deal of surveillance. And eventually, I think, much of it won't be accessible without end-user licensing, permits, government registration, digital ID, up to date medical interventions, background and (social) credit checks etc. and the overarching loss of human dignity. The technocratic state is our common enemy.

These scumlords would rather plant CSAM all over these chatrooms—which I am almost positive they do—then let people have interpersonal exchanges in private. This is how paranoid and depraved the establishment has become.

All things considered, be advised to get going while the goings hot. The internet revolution continues, friend. There are no spectators. Only participants. Just don't get misled by what you see online. People thinking the world is a certain way because of what some users online say or share. Do not make that mistake. Your world is your community. If you don't have a community; friends, neighbors, and loved ones, get to work and build those bonds. I'm afraid the Internet will not supply you with it, but I know of some tech companies that would love to convince you otherwise....

This is a battle for the mind so stay alert! hic sunt dracones.

On another note, I'm taking haveno-reto for a ride. For all the would-be countereconomists, check out Nihilist's guide on how to throw down.

the title should really end with a question mark to be honest. i want to know how.

i used to have a passport. i still do, but it's long-expired. when i share this with folks they might reply: “so you don't travel?” and i respond. “internationally? no. not yet.”

i love traveling. i did a considerable amount of it in the past. it stopped when i decided to put down roots somewhere in my native land.

i put my globetrotting aside to make a home and a family. thankfully i was decisive about it because now i have land with a cabin on it and acres for the kids to play. no mortgage. no lease. incredible community of likeminded people. few expenses.

now that i'm on the other side, i wouldn't mind traveling again.

problem is, i'm a free man.

not exactly a problem, but in an unfree world it's a fucking predicament.

much to my dismay, wisdom has brought with it a difficult truth.

that unless we affirm our natural right to migrate and travel at will anywhere on earth without having to ask permission, we will have to face the fact that we live on some sort of slave plantation we refer to as a “country,” a penal colony where we are granted leave by our prison wardens.

essentially, i recognize my freedom of movement and i'm willing to take risks to uphold it.

key risk: renounce my citizenship and go “stateless” (aka. our true nature = actually free).

what might this move entail?

i might want to produce my own travel document, or fetch one from the world passport authority (r.i.p. garry allen!). though i would prefer not to live in a world where i am perpetuating the expectation to “show my papers please”.

try to land a visa from a nation that recognizes free (stateless) humans and challenge the customs border thugs outright, like the great garry allen did, described in his book Passport to Freedom.

i really want to do this; i almost feel like it's my dharma.

this is a right very few people fight to defend anymore. i would like to be in that minority because i think it's still an important part of the Great Work to abolish slavery.

a lot of noise was made to resist the introduction of vaccine passports. why not actual passports that dehumanize us and reduce us to cargo and subjects of a criminal class hellbent on world domination?

if anyone can answer the question in the title to this post contact me https://matrix.to/#/@xapat1st4:hackliberty.org ffs!

imagine having to seek permission from a third party to build something. good god.

this quick editorial is about the embarrassment i feel for my fellow man who, for one reason or another, wishes to obtain a government permit to build everything from a small shed or a deck to a family home.

lately in my neighborhood i have been told a permit is now “required” to construct a driveway. these crooks don't quit...

i never got a permit to build my home (or anything on my land for that matter) and i would never, ever volunteer to do so. why? because it is absurd and an insult to my dignity to seek permission from a criminal organization to shelter myself and my family.

and listen. i don't wanna fucking hear how iTs FoR tHe sAfEtY oF mYsElF aNd OtHeRs to pay money to these corrupt racketeers for the natural right i already possess to make my home how i please. i am not a child. i am a competent and capable man with the ability to build a safe structure. it is my responsibility and no one else's. so fuck off! simple as that.

let these bureaucrats send as much paperwork as they like. it just means more firestarter for the woodstove and an opportunity to tighten my lines of defense in preparation for unwelcome visitors.

a parallel structure doesn't include building permits. sorry!

Now this is the Law of the Jungle — as old and as true as the sky;

And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.

As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk the Law runneth forward and back —

For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

---

Wash daily from nose-tip to tail-tip;

drink deeply, but never too deep;

And remember the night is for hunting, and forget not the day is for sleep.

The Jackal may follow the Tiger, but, Cub, when thy whiskers are grown,

Remember the Wolf is a Hunter — go forth and get food of thine own.

Keep peace with the Lords of the Jungle — the Tiger, the Panther, and Bear.

And trouble not Hathi the Silent, and mock not the Boar in his lair.

When Pack meets with Pack in the Jungle, and neither will go from the trail,

Lie down till the leaders have spoken — it may be fair words shall prevail.

When ye fight with a Wolf of the Pack, ye must fight him alone and afar,

Lest others take part in the quarrel, and the Pack be diminished by war.

The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, and where he has made him his home,

Not even the Head Wolf may enter, not even the Council may come.

The Lair of the Wolf is his refuge, but where he has digged it too plain,

The Council shall send him a message, and so he shall change it again.

If ye kill before midnight, be silent, and wake not the woods with your bay,

Lest ye frighten the deer from the crop, and your brothers go empty away.

Ye may kill for yourselves, and your mates, and your cubs as they need, and

ye can;

But kill not for pleasure of killing, and seven times never kill Man!

If ye plunder his Kill from a weaker, devour not all in thy pride;

Pack-Right is the right of the meanest; so leave him the head and the hide.

The Kill of the Pack is the meat of the Pack. Ye must eat where it lies;

And no one may carry away of that meat to his lair, or he dies.

The Kill of the Wolf is the meat of the Wolf. He may do what he will;

But, till he has given permission, the Pack may not eat of that Kill.

Cub-Right is the right of the Yearling. From all of his Pack he may claim

Full-gorge when the killer has eaten; and none may refuse him the same.

Lair-Right is the right of the Mother. From all of her year she may claim

One haunch of each kill for her litter, and none may deny her the same.

Cave-Right is the right of the Father — to hunt by himself for his own:

He is freed of all calls to the Pack; he is judged by the Council alone.

Because of his age and his cunning, because of his gripe and his paw,

In all that the Law leaveth open, the word of your Head Wolf is Law.

Now these are the Laws of the Jungle, and many and mighty are they;

But the head and the hoof of the Law and the haunch and the hump is —

Obey!

~ Rudyard Kipling

'Law of the Jungle'

for years i've witnessed bleeding heart do-gooders lament the bombing of various brown people all around the world. “what do we do?” they say. “what can we do?” sigh. and so they carry on living a life predicated on violence and the desecration of dignity.

ok so here's quick tip number 1: stop funding terrorism.

this really, really basic strategy can apply to just about any grievance one may have about the rotten system before us. what do you mean? you might ask.

let me be clear. conscientious men and women should not pay taxes. plain and simple... in particular, the so-called income tax.

why? tax dollars go to criminal operations conducted worldwide by REAL terrorist cartels, not the phony or small-time factions spun up by PR people who work for the globalist mafia on parade today.

“bUt I wAnT tO dO mY pArT, tO pAy FoR ScHoOlS aNd HeLtHcArE and rOAdz And...”

first understand that to “pay taxes” is to make voluntary donations to organized crime groups called “governments”. it is extortion because you are threatened with punishment if you don't. but make no mistake about it, people file taxes voluntarily.

we fill out paperwork (for free), just to have the privilege of getting some of our own earnings back, or none at all, or even owing money to a literal fraudulent enterprise called a “revenue agency”?

i have come across astonishing facts and figures about how common it is for people to totally ignore the income tax. i suspect this number has been growing steadily for a few decades, especially now that more of us are getting wise to efforts of the vampires behind the scenes.

you wanna make a real fucking change? then stop funding terrorism!

the thugs running this scam know they have a hard time convicting anyone for “failure to file” or whatever else they claim people are doing wrong. that's why they get employers to do their dirty work for them by having “deductions” made right from the paychecks of their employees. it is completely unlawful, and if you have an employer doing this to you, demand that they pay you in full... do not let them steal your earnings! you are not working for free. inform them that going forward you will be strictly offering your services as an independent contractor. tell the accountant, and let em take care of it... if you're an employer and you're withholding your employees wages without their consent, you are an accessory to crime and a piece of shit. cut it out.

although the pirate revenue agencies of the world know they can't effectively enforce their bogus tax collection schemes, they are going to turn to technology for enforcement. that's where their digital dollar/credit system will come into play. haven't filed your annual slave tax? no internet access for you! no phone calls! limited smart car mileage only for the week, sorry!

bring it on. get busy hackers.

make peace and win the war.

if you read hack land ii, it should be understood that land is not anyone's property. we can claim and maintain territory, but never “real estate” or “private property”, which is part of a shell game invented by swindlers long ago. going forward i will use the words 'territory' and 'land' interchangeably.

in the 2023 publication of a hacker's mind, author bruce schneier frames hacking as something that pretty well targets the state, its institutions and corporate partners. he does highlight systems in general, but the rhetoric he uses throughout the book is that wE MuSt PrOtEcT oUr DeMoCrAzcy fRoM tHe bAd hAx.

from the perspective i hold about land sovereignty, schneier's book gave me an occasion to examine the hacking analogy of this increasingly degenerate technocratic neofeudal state of which he so stupidly endorses.

in a way, central planners and the mafia they work for are the ones who have hacked the way we used to interact with the lands that sustain us, which were healthier ways largely in equilibrium with nature.

the predators themselves are the ones who forged the modern land title/torrens title system (formerly a deed-based system) and then forced everyone to conform to it. more on that later.

they essentially mimicked how animals were being farmed, and began to apply a farming model to us human beings, hacking our psychology every step of the way.

depending on how you look at it, either we have to patch the vulnerability (what are our vulnerabilities with respect to territory? hmmm...), or we have to be the ones who design the exploit. that point will be elaborated on as i proceed with this series.

bear with me as a swerve all over the fucking place with my ideation.

---

land used to be held in common, and there were some excellent reasons for doing so, at least from the perspective of the People.

you may not have noticed, but the global mafia has worked diligently for centuries to erase the commons. this is well detailed in james boyle's 2008 masterpiece the public domain: enclosing the commons of the mind

i propose a return to the commons. a healthy relationship with one another and with the land ought to begin with this principle.

a following installment of hack land will explain what this looks like and... because talk is cheap and i'm sick of progressive academics and thinkers with cushy jobs who advocate for all sorts of revolutionary arrangements but whose salary relies on them staying mostly theoretic.... introduce a first-hand account of how i share over 100 acres of land with multiple households in common.

i never hear anyone speak about corruption anymore.

in fact, i have started to think that the thought-terminating cliche known as 'conspiracy theory' newspeak has become the substitute for plain old corruption.

think about it.

exposure of corruption in the medical-industrial-cartel/complex is often painted as, or conflated with, “antivaccination” and idiocy.

exposure of corruption in the treacherous judicial system gets tied to decoys like “sovereign citizen/freeman-on-the-land”. anticorruption law activists are defamed as fraudsters, fools, felons, extremists.

exposure of the toxin of electromagnetic radiation, radiowaves, and so on as a result of telco/big comm tech bottomline bullshit is routinely characterized as wacko nonsense only worthy of being ignored.

exposure of surveillance capitalism can be seen as a result of paranoia or even precrime. “you don't have anything to hide now, do you!? DO YOU!?”

exposure of the true terrorists who design and maintain this grotesque system — the parasitic criminal class itself embodied in the cult of the State — is simply called terrorism.

but the one common, pithy tactic used incessantly by propagandists as newspeak is to replace actual provable corruption with “conspiracy theory”.

there are no more anticorruption activists or civil rights activists, only theorists! (with the exception of.. ahem.. authorized activists)...

always to be doubted and defamed, never to be taken seriously by the sleepwalkers of babylon who are both benefactors and victims of a cruel con game.

if you are someone inclined to speak on things that most normies implicitly understand but are too scared to express or acknowledge (see: rampant corruption and conspiracy in plain sight) consider referring to such matters as corruption.

i swear people you speak to who might normally shudder, change the subject, or wet the bed over things like staged pandemics, false flags, and psyops will respond more receptively if you focus on corruption. why? because the people know about corruption and revile it.

the borg does not want us to have corruption in our discourses because they know it is a unifying cause. i challenge you to find one person you know who isn't anticorruption!

win the hearts and minds of men show them a unified front and have fun doing it cancel the cabal

addendum: i just plugged in “anticorruption” into a search engine and guess what all the top hits are? governments... wow, their anticorruption departments must be VERY ACTIVE. HA.
