A History Of Non-Violent Direct Action in Russo

In 2006, I had the privilege of helping Aaron Russo in the scene development and promotion of his movie, America:  Freedom to Fascism.  I remember the last few scenes carrying a promotion of non-violent direct action as the solution, and several people whom I screened the movie for balked at the idea.

This was before I'd examined Tolstoy's works (Mahatma Gandhi's teacher).  Back then I knew nothing of abolishing the state through the teachings of Jesus Christ's Sermon on the Mount:  Do not take oaths (ends the state and all its systems of violence).

Today, I see more and more clearly how aggression of a state can be mitigated or even abolished through these ideas made so pertinent to the future of human civilization through Gandhiji's work in India.  If we stick together with an absolute focus on truth and non-violence, there is nothing we cannot do to free ourselves with absolute confidence in our path.

Please, please read Tolstoy's books, The Kingdom Of God Is Within You and My Religion, if you want to change the world, the way Mahatma Gandhi did.  If you want to abolish the Fed, there is a path;  the personal income tax, there is a path;  the military aggression of the state, there is a path;  Do not take oaths (ends the state and all its systems of violence).

Just imagine what 100,000 votes for Gene Chapman for Texas Governor would do to the political establishment of every nation on earth, not to mention our own.  It would put the fear of the abolition of their forms of human existence into their hearts.  If you oppose gun control laws anywhere, you should support Gene Chapman in Texas.  If you oppose any law, any state aggression anywhere, Gene Chapman is your point man today.

IRS Attack On Americans

We are seeing in the press the story of how IRS employees targeted Americans, who hold Tea Party philosophical views, for special rejection and opening of their donor lists.

In a nation that refused to take oaths, the IRS would have no power whatever, like a fog that just disappears in the morning sun.  As Tolstoy shares in the final pages of his book, The Kingdom Of God Is With You, an individual can stop oath taking altogether, like a horse harnessed to a wagon and be dragged with the honor of his action;  however, a more practical move may be to educate all the others harnessed to the wagon of state violence and bring the wagon to a stop together.

This is my campaign.

So the next time someone tells you to "render to Caesar" and pay your taxes, note that this was a placation of the state and the real future was intended to be:

1)  Do not take oaths (ends the state and all its systems of violence).

2)  Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth (mitigates envy and covetousness and refocusses life on the family and community).

3)  Render not evil for evil (ends war).

4)  Go not to law (ends the legal system).

5)  Judge not, condemn not (ends bigotry, discrimination, the prison system and the death penalty).

Conclusion:  Peace on earth/ The Kingdom.

Question for Gene Chapman

Question:  "Mr. Chapman, if we do away with the government, what will happen to the nuclear bombs we have in stock here in the US?"

Answer:  Under my thinking, local villages of perhaps 200 people will supervise their communities with the advice of local universities.  The nuclear bombs will be either turned over to these universities or a decision on the village level will be made to do with the bombs what they think appropriate.  Keep in mind that for my conception of human government to exist, we will be in a very different non-violent emotional and intellectual space than we are now.

I would remind you that anything like a weapon, wealth, excessive beauty, etc. can be used as a tool of coercion.  This coercion is something we want to avoid, from a Gandhian perspective.

Former President XXXXX
XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXX

Dear Mr. President:

When one receives the endorsement for elected office of the "Intellectual of the Age" (Dr. Noam Chomsky), I think you will agree that even a former President of the United States should give pause, a very long pause.

You see, a little over a hundred years ago, Leo Tolstoy wrote a book that would transform a young lawyer, M. K. Gandhi, into the Mahatma of India and set into motion a non-violent approach that would revolutionize everything on earth, abrogating the violence of Marx and Keynes for the green fields of stateless libertarianism.  The Kingdom Of God Is Within You, represents an examination of Jesus Christ's Sermon on the Mount and what this Kingdom suggests to human government.

My run for Texas Governor is centered around the central plank of Tolstoy's book:  Do not take oaths (ends the state and all its systems of violence).  I am also including all five planks I discern from the Sermon on the Mount for your reading, although they have no direct bearing on my plan to follow the instruction to not take the oath of office if elected Governor of Texas.

The result of a society of non-oath takers is the abolition of the state, according to Tolstoy and in the example of Gandhji in his dealings to throw off British Colonialism, and will develop into a free market economic engine I suggest to be similar to Milton Friedman's Hong Kong.  Education through private endeavor and tit for tat economic relationships will control overpopulation, food production and distribution, crime, climate change concerns, etc., etc.

I look forward to your endorsement for my run for Texas Governor.

Most respectfully,
