Creed of the True King


I. Many Kings Past sought sources of power outside of Themselves: God, Royal lineage, law and order.
II. I require no such outside source.
III. My source of power is absolute.
IV. My source of power is My Royal Form, for I am a True King.
V. There were other True Kings before me, but Their names and legacies are so ancient as to render their Form indistinct from lesser Kings.
VI. I bestow upon My subjects the following description of My Royal Form not as justification for My reign, but a most just and prudent instruction as to render Myself comprehensible.
VII. I bear the lash before striking the dog.
VIII. First, My Sovereignty springs forth directly from My power and is thus absolute.
IX. I share My Sovereignty with no one.
X. My subjects do or do not as I wish.
XI. All activity within My Kingdom occurs at My behest, and such activities which I do not wish to occur, do not.
XII. Royal authority is carried out through direct command with Myself as the point of origin.
XIII. No such special oath of fealty is needed in this exercise, as I grace My subjects with the choice to obey, leave, or die.
XIV. I seek council as desired in accordance with My own judgment and prudence.
XV. To speak in My Royal Presence is to council and does not occur without My permission.
XVI. My choice of successor as True Heir to My Throne is a matter of My discretion, and succession shall occur when and as I see fit.
XVII. Second, the borders of My Kingdom are a direct reflection of My capacity to rule the land.
XVIII. My rule is uniformly absolute and always to its fullest territorial extent.
XIX. Should I become able to rule land outside the borders of My Kingdom, I must and will take it.
XX. Should I become unable to rule land within the borders of My Kingdom, I must and will cede it.
XXI. Relationships with neighboring Kingdoms ruled by True Kings are defined by mutual understanding of Our Kingdom’s borders with respect to Our capacities to maintain and expand them.
XXII. If I can take His land, I must, and I will, and He mine.
XXIII. Relationships with neighboring Sovereignties not ruled by True Kings are defined by prudence.
XXIV. I conquer their lawless land with caution, and My Royal Army stands ready to defend My Kingdom’s neighboring borders.
XXV. Relationships with Sovereignties that do not neighbor My Kingdom are defined by distant friendliness.
XXVI. Third, I am just, good, and great.
XXVII. These qualities do not at all contribute to My Sovereignty; the same would stand unchanged if I possessed none of them.
XXVIII. They are natural parts of My Royal Form: Nothing more, nothing less.
XXIX. I determine the law, and to adhere is to obey.
XXX. All crime is to disobey, and all criminals are provided the choice of exile or death.
XXXI. My subjects shall prosper under My rule because it is My desire for them to do so.
XXXII. My reign is one of perpetual glory in reflection of My Royal Form as a True King.
XXXIII. The Heir to My Throne shall carry on in the image of My Royal Form and those of the True Kings Past.

The Enemy

You may want to consider what you would do in a suicide crisis situation. Like all life-or-death situations in general, and violence-defensive situations in particular, it probably won’t happen to you, but preparation is time certainly well spent nonetheless. In the case of a suicide crisis, all of the lines of defense before you have fallen, and this person is on the verge of commiting the suicidal act. It is not your fault what happens to this person; it’ll never, ever be your fault. But if you take a moment to reflect now, you might notice that you’d do anything, anything to prevent that suicidal act from occurring. It is a moral imperative that is ingrained into human nature. So what do you do? Well, the first thing you do, provided it is a logistically feasible demand, is say, “Show me your face. Look me in the eyes.” This might take you by surprise--it’s a far cry from the orthodox “don’t do it, you have so much to live for, there are people who care about you” scri

Death by Algorithm

All that being said about upholding the sanctity of the historical narrative, let’s pull a direct example from history and use it to prove my point about politics. The Cold War crises which almost brought nuclear annihilation to us all and the means by which they were averted are offered by progressive thinkers as examples of free men rejecting authority to do what’s right. They broke the programming and saved us all. Reactionaries tend to avoid the topic entirely. After all, hierarchy is good, but it was the military hierarchy that almost pushed the button. This is not the hill to die on. But who wrote the programming? It wasn’t military doctrine that called for the blockades, or funded the construction and tearing down of missile batteries. No General dropped a dossier titled “Operation MAD” on the Commander in Chief’s desk. In the field of international relations, the whole idea is to pick a small set of premises, assume that they are inherently true all the time, and b

The Vape Ban: Render unto Caesar

I live in San Francisco. Some group of people here who apparently possess the legislative authority to do so decided to Ban Vape. This piece of legislation is known as the Vape Ban. Why? When does it go into effect? What are they banning—cartridges, the electric bit, all of it? Can people still buy them elsewhere and bring them back, or buy them online and have whatever’s banned shipped to their home? Is Juul still allowed to have their big, shiny vape-selling coordination mechanism known as a “Headquarters” downtown? I’m sure there are answers if you look into it. Another group of people apparently did look into it, and they decided it would be best to Repeal the Vape Ban, and to do this, they’ve took it upon themselves to recruit as much support in the effort as possible. The lynchpin of the whole operation is canvassing the entire city with their demands for a Repeal. Okay. How do we all help you with this? Is there a referendum or something? The Repeal is suppo
