I didn't do much on steemit yesterday. The slowness due to the ongoing DDOS attack made it a painful process. I did visit busy.org and the steem blockchain was moving along at a nice an steady pace there. I could have posted via that method, but I chose to take a vacation day from steemit instead. Then this morning I woke up thinking about the three words in the title of this blog post. I actually began thinking of that first word NAPathy yesterday.

NAPathy

Now some people may say "That isn't a word!" with the assumption that I only believe words that some fellow humans write into books, or websites that are labeled dictionaries are the authority on what is and is not a word.

This is a fallacy. It is an appeal to authority fallacy, and furthermore it is for something that actually has no authority. A dictionary is a tool to help explain definitions of words that people encounter. They likely only populate those tomes and lookup tools in cases where the word is used extensively. The key is. A dictionary is simply a tool. It has not authority to determine what is and is not a word. That isn't actually why it exists. It exists to help us understand words quickly that we have never heard before.

Though in the case of NAPathy I don't believe you'll find it in a dictionary. I don't even know if anyone has used it before other than myself. It is possible, but I didn't actually look. It is a constructed word in this case by me that has meaning. If I convey that meaning to you then it becomes a word. If I fail to communicate that meaning then it is nothing more than a jumble of syllables and fails at the purpose of a word.

Let's get into NAPathy. I am an active introspective adventurer when it comes to the term NAP. This is the acronym for the Non-Aggression Principle. It essentially means do not initiate aggression except in self defense of yourself or your property. Some people (myself included) will sometimes extend the scope to include defending those who cannot defend themselves. The example I give is that if I see an old lady being mugged I am not going to simply shrug and walk away because it wasn't me or my property.

It is on this concept of scope that I have been thinking about for a few months. I realized that I was practicing the NAP and most decisions I made (all if I was paying attention) were followed by "Does that violate the NAP?" The problem is I was purely considering my own actions when asking myself that. I also was not truly thinking about Self Defense of myself and my property in a scope/range that took in potential attacks that were coming from further away. I am not referring to me considering preemptive actions. Anything preemptive actually does violate the NAP as far as I am concerned. Acting based upon what MIGHT happen is INITIATION. Yet what about things that are and have happened that were attacks on my self, and my property?

I was aware of things happening, but I did not truly consider them for the attacks that they actually were. I am actually in a situation and have been for some time that I should be acting in self defense. Most of us (perhaps all) are.

I've decided to call this fail to acknowledge or react to longer range attacks on self, and property as NAPathy. It is my play on basically saying being Apathetic due to the perceived adherence to the NAP.

Now I haven't actually been doing nothing. I have been speaking up. I have been educating people. I have been getting educated myself. I have been trying to change minds. I have been having my mind changed. Those are the only things that I see as reasonable at this moment. I do not see a rational form of defense other than that at this time. Though I am still contemplating this.

This sequed my mind into other directions and thoughts this morning.

Democracy

There is much made about the greatness of Democracy. Yet so much of that these days is smoke and mirror and illusions. It is also a good opportunity to give some examples of long range attacks against self, and property.

Do you recall this thing called Brexit that happened more than a year ago where the people of the UK voted to secede from the European Union? Yet it basically is not being permitted to happen. In fact they are actively trying to turn it over. Democracy only seems to be accepted when it goes along with the elite globalist oligarchs plans. It certainly does not seem to be working there.

Do you recall this thing called a presidential election where Donald Trump was elected? He was elected by the electoral college as intended so that we simply did not have a "United States of California, New York, Texas, and Florida" which is all these elections would be if it were popular vote anyway. In fact it would be worse than that. It wouldn't even be those states. It would be dictated by a handful of population centers that due to their population could even supercede the wishes of the rest of the citizens in their own state. Why would a place like Colorado, or Alabama want to be in a Union where they had to always do what those places dictated? That would essentially make the rest of the states nothing more than counties of those larger population centers. This is why the electoral college exists. Without it there really would be no states or state rights. Yet, Hillary allegedly won the popular vote. When I went to bed that election night she was over a million votes behind in the popular vote and significantly behind in the electoral college. In fact, as far as the electoral college was concerned it was over, she had lost and there was absolutely no chance for that to change. The popular vote had not come in for places like California, Hawaii, and Alaska yet. They were still counting and only parts of that had come in. This means for her to have suddenly surged ahead those votes came from those places. The analysis of the election data has already found millions of people in various states that voted who were dead, voted twice, and in millions of cases were illegals, trespassers, aka NOT citizens. If a bunch of criminals decide to come into my house and start voting on the rules of my house do you think my family and I should bow and say "gee they now have the numbers, I guess this house is theirs?" simply because they chose to trespass? That seems a bit suicidal and a lot stupid. Yet we do exactly that with our nations, states, and cities when it comes to trespassers. NOTE: I didn't say immigrants. I will no longer use that word for those that illegally enter our nation, and expect work, DACA, and things like that. The mainstream media, and Democrats seem to have no concept of the term illegal so any attack on illegals is an attack on immigration. Immigrants as far as I am concerned are those that legally (are invited, welcomed) into our country. The rest I'll call them for what they are. Trespassers.

So Donald Trump was elected Democratically and Constitutionally as designed. This was despite the clear media bias and push for Hillary to win. I expected her to win and was surprised Trump did. I didn't vote for him, but I was pleasantly surprised as it was the first time in my life the media failed at force feeding who should win down our throats. Their reaction showed to me that they couldn't stand that. That reaction has never stopped. In fact, it is much like the Brexit vote. We even have hundreds of millions of dollars being spent to investigate the Russian Collusion Delusion that has been going on for about a year now. They have found no evidence and are on a clear fishing expedition spending enormous amounts of money while making the issue a non-stop speed bump for anything else to be talked about. They have also caused other people to go seriously into debt hiring lawyers to represent them against these spurious investigations. Meanwhile they ignore the crimes of people like Hillary, and Obama. They continue to treat them like royalty that is sacrosanct. How is that Democratic vote working out here? It seems to me like the globalist oligarchs are again not happy. Their propaganda machine, and indoctrination systems are working overtime to turn people into zombies to do their bidding.

Yet, we need not stop there.

How about Catalonia? The people there were talking about having a VOTE to see whether they should secede from Spain or not. Things got violent. They didn't even want to let the people to the ballot box there. So much for Democracy...

Democracy is a word the globalist oligarchs like to use to seem like the innocent looking wise old man coming to help. They will be sure to praise it when things go the way they want in elections. If things do not go their way they will do everything in their power to destabilize and overturn those decisions.

At some point my mind drifted to things such as unions themselves. I began thinking of the European Union, then I thought about the United Nations, and even some on the United States of America.

Alliances

The phrase "entangling alliances" goes through my head. I began thinking about how being a "friend" of another nation these days and having simply agreements no longer seems like it is enough. At least for the globalists.

We must instead enter into alliances that supercede the Democracy and will of our own people.

These things seem like they are safe as long as you are there voluntarily and can leave voluntarily. Yet, what happens when there is an attempt to leave?

That is when an alliance reveals it's true colors. That is when a "Union" reveals its true colors.

We could delve into the historical examples of such things, and perhaps we will in some other posts, or in comments.

Mainly I wanted to point out these brief things I have been thinking about alliances and unions.

I don't actually see a purpose for the European Union, the United Nations, or other organizations of that nature. At least not in their current capacity.

If they were simply a gathering of "friends" who could be there voluntarily or leave at will voluntarily I'd have no problem with them. That isn't what they are.

They are entities that make your Democracy subservient to them. It is interesting that for the most part those calling the shots there are not in those positions via a democratic process of the people they are impacting.

I know I've never seen any voting opportunities myself to vote for positions on the UN. Have you?

I think that is enough of a rambling journey through my mind right after I woke up. Hopefully some of you found it interesting, entertaining, or at least thought provoking.
