Driven by a desire for accuracy, chef and alternative
news stalwart Ryan Cristián has a passion for the Truth.
As
founder and Editor-in-chief of The Last American
Vagabond, he understands that Americans want their news
to be transparent, devoid of the opulence frothed out by
today’s Corporate Media.
A
cultured and insightful man with a worldly sense, Ryan’s
unjaded approach offers common sense to the individual
racked by the ambiguous news cycle - a vicious and
manipulative merry-go-round that keeps trenchant minds
at a manageable distance from the truth.
Avid
writer and editor by day, Truth seeker by night, Ryan’s
reality defines what it means to be current.

An absolutely fantastic
video (far below) was just put out by Larkin Rose that was
created and submitted by "GeoShifter," and was the winner of his
recent video contest.
It asks the simple
question:
"What is government?"
"People should not be afraid of their governments; governments
should be afraid of their people."
Contrary to what many
people assume, most of the suffering, injustice and conflict in the
world is not the result of greed, hatred or intolerance.
Instead…
most of man's inhumanity to man is the result of one particular
belief.
One irrational superstition which is shared by almost everyone,
namely, the belief in authority.
History has taught us that trying to fix the world by way of
government always ends in disaster. That in the end the political
process empowers the ruling class and no one else.
Constitutions don't fix
it. Elections don't fix it...
Once there was a position of power it is always the megalomaniacs
and sociopaths who will sooner or later, one way or another, get
themselves into that position.
Decent people are tricked into believing that it is perfectly
acceptable and righteous to control and rob their neighbors as long
as they do it by way of voting in the political process.
Tyrants love it when they can get the people to cheer for their
neighbors to be robbed by way of taxation or cheer for their
neighbors to be forcibly controlled by way of regulation and
legislation.
In short:
the political process
is designed to dupe the people into
cooperating with, and even demanding their own subjugation, and
the subjugation of everyone else.
The old notion of the "divine
right of kings" has changed into the divine right of
politicians… with similar results.
Hundreds of millions of human beings have been murdered by their own
governments.
Many millions more have
died in
government created wars and
billions more have been robbed, harassed, terrorized and otherwise
forcibly dominated and impressed by ruling classes… Including
democratically elected constitutional governments.
To create a huge all-powerful predator, which is what government
always is, in the name of stopping predators is simply INSANE. And
then the big powerful thing that you hoped would be a protector and
servant of the people, will be an oppressor and exploiter of the
people.
That is what government
has always been and always will be until the people dare to let go
of the superstition of authority...
