A review of the book, "The Iron Web."
Totally loved the video.


I have read thousands of books in my 60 years, but this one instantly became one of my favorites. Rose writes great dialogue: he presents important philosophical ideas in conversations that you can imagine real people having with one another. And while this may not be the best plotted book I've ever seen, the author seems to have put his anarchistic, freedom-loving soul into it, and it shines through like a star. I read the book in just a few days. Two weeks later I read it again, to make sure it was as good as I thought it was the first time through. Then I ordered 10 copies to send to friends. Yeah, that good.

The book focuses on three characters: a young woman fresh out of high school, a newbie Federal Agent (ATF), and the personal secretary to the newly elected President of the United States. These three are all mild, ordinary folks of good will. Nothing special or particularly interesting about any of them . . . which turns out not to matter too much, because the real show is what's going on around them. The author throws his characters into the middle of a Waco-like government siege of a rural community in Arizona. The government and the ever-trustworthy news media call the besieged folks "terrorists" belonging to an "anarchist cult" called "The Iron Web." But as soon as the viewpoint characters meet the people who supposedly belong to this dreaded conspiracy, they find that the government is up to its old tricks of demonizing people of good will who happen to hold politically incorrect opinions. In this case, the government has real cause to be frightened of these folks: tyrants must always fear men who know that they are free. And that's all I'm going to say about the story - you should have the fun of discovering it for yourself.

Like Atlas Shrugged (http://www.amazon.com/Atlas-Shrugged-Ayn-Rand/dp/0452011876/ref=cm_cr_dp_asin_lnk), this is a novel of ideas, powerful ones. There's even a little speech like the famous John Galt polemic - with the difference that this speech is plain fun to read.

Just to give you a taste, here are a few of the many tidbits I enjoyed:

"Whatever else happens, never tell someone that you accept that he has the right to rule you. Never. You will make him into a monster, and you will make yourself into a slave."

"When has polite talk ever reduced tyranny?"

"What have you done with the country they [America's Founding Fathers] gave you? Today you tolerate a level of oppression and intrusion far beyond King George's wildest dreams, yet you cannot even imagine engaging in passive resistance, much less forcible revolution, in defense of your own freedom. The bravest thing you'll ever do is walk into a booth every few years, where no one can see you, and press a button to say which of two slave-masters you'd rather be owned by."

"Majority rule is not freedom. Majority rule is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner."

"We view and treat each other as adult human beings, each responsible for his actions, each obligated to judge right and wrong for himself. We detest the alternative: the giant daycare center that so many of you seem to prefer, where a bunch of whimpering brats whine about their 'needs' and demand preferential treatment based on some twisted, delusional notion of 'fairness,' while at the same time begging the nanny to punish the kids they don't like."

Buy the book, and enjoy the whole feast.

I think I'd like to read that book.

Interesting video.

That is gobsmackingly eloquent. I get satisfaction when somebody articulates what I feel strongly and presents it to a large audience. I spent a lot of time in my career observing the dynamics of bullies. All bullies have enablers. People who egg them on. People who pile on the approval for bullying behavior. What struck me most was that those who enable the bullies do it because they want to escape the burden of making moral decisions. It takes courage to make a moral decision. You have to be willing to go against the flow when the flow is wrong. Courage is one of the rarest human qualities.

Earlier this year I bought three of Larken Rose's books. I've only made my way partly through one of them--The Most Dangerous Superstition. I have to finish that book and read the Iron Web. I also have to watch the German version of this on YT. This is the most impressive video I've seen in years. Thanks for posting it Large Sarge.

Hatha,
this particular snipit above carved from your prior response really resonated within me.

Not only do I agree, it is my posit that the internet is the perfect vehicle for bullying, because of the "barrier" placed between the target and the bully PLUS the host of enablers. And TV and movie venues have reduced a large segment of the population in the last 60 years in particular to sullied but passive witnesses/participants in said sociopathic outbursts whether spontaneous or scripted.

I have observed and been the target of such cowardly behavior in exponential magnitudes greater in the last 5 years than any ruffin's frontal attack suffered K-12 in decades past. Until your summation, I never saw the lack of moral turpitude nor cowadice associated with said 'net attacks.

It appears to me that this 'net media is one of the most advanced and nuanced tools for promulgating cowardice and exultation of moral depravity ever witnessed, let alone endured on the planet heretofore.

Many thanks for your contributions, Hatha.

This one uses the works of David Dees inthe slide show. He's got the formula right. The machine has two parts. The tyrants and the people who enable them. He's trying to penetrate the people who enable the tyrants. Shaming them.

When I saw the 'Show Ed the Law' I was reminded by an old latin quote--'Stop quoting laws to us, we have swords(guns)'..

Just listened to this again, and it has to be said: a few times he makes ref to "the NAZIs" (as ruthless killing machine yada yada) - and as surely as many of us have explored the rabbit hole of WW2 Truth (http://gold-silver.us/forum/showthread.php?54461-Introduction-to-the-Holocaust™-Hoax), this aspect of Rose's spiel should be stricken. And nothing about the Jewish-Bolshevik/Communist (http://truthtellers.org/alerts/jewishactivistscommunism.html) genocides... though at 15:45 he does lump together "Hitler, Stalin, and Mao" without regard for how Hitler was staunchly opposed to the latter commies.

Larken Rose - Hour 1 - The Government Con (http://www.redicecreations.com/radio/2012/09/RIR-120916.php)
September 16, 2012
Larken Rose is known for debunking the most dangerous superstition, government. He is a Voluntaryist/Anarchist and a tax protester, as well as an author of several books. He has a podcast radio program airing every Sunday called "Outside the Cage." Much of what Larken Rose does to promote the concepts of self-ownership and a voluntary society, writing articles, giving talks, making videos, he does for free. Larken will explain the myth of the necessity of government. We’ll talk about how people have been programmed to believe in the authority of government and the monstrous results thereafter. In the second hour, Larken continues to explain how governments must cloak their actions in an aura of moral legitimacy in order to sustain their power. He further demystifies the government superstition and exposes tyranny, murder, lies and violence. Larken says we need freedom, not democracy. We’ll talk about what the world would look like without government. The hour ends on the political future of the USA and the ripple effect.
