Continuing our conversation on physical posture as a means toward mental awareness, martial readiness, and personal success. Body, mind, and breath form a cybernetic loop to reinforce personal empowerment so you can focus on creating what you want in life for yourself, your loved ones, and your community. Posture, in combination with tactical breathing, is the quickest path to the flow state where...

Physical posture is much more than bodily arrangement. Posture impacts physical health, mental awareness, and emotional attitude, as well as martial readiness. Proper posture is essential to securing your liberty because it is the common thread between mind, body, spirit, and the body of all your affairs. Posture is fundamental to samurai related martial arts but “kamae” is a comprehensive term th...

Those looking to secure Second Amendment gun rights as well as a libertarian strategy, an actual plan for practical implementation to restore liberty, should look to the works of Dr. Edwin Vieira for Constitutional principles and legal authorities already available to radically decentralize and put the power of purse and sword at the most local level.  Not only does this legal approach protect gun...

Dr. Edwin Vieira contrasts immigration sanctuaries from those protecting the Second Amendment, differences in local sovereignty between the Dillon Rule and Home Rule, and how the Bundy Ranch standoff would have played out had Constitutional federalism was actually in effect.

Dave Chappelle recently said that the second amendment was there “just in case” the first one didn’t work out. This endorsement is welcome, however, also falls into the slippery slope of ceding entirely too much ground to aspiring tyrants. 2A rights are to secure a free state, not for waiting to rebel against an out of control Leviathan. Training with the tools of combat , exemplified by samurai r...

I was interviewed by Pete Quinones on the Free Man Beyond the Wall podcast regarding my article on how Military Flag Officer’s Threaten Liberty. We discuss a bit of my backstory and how I became interested in political-economy as well as what to do about the threats posed to the “security of a free state” by the permanent bureaucracy.

A recent opinion piece from retired Navy SEAL Admiral William McRaven highlights the threat to liberty posed by a standing army and the high-level bureaucrats that helm them in service to the Military Industrial Congressional Complex.   McRaven’s Op-Ed: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/17/opinion/trump-mcraven-syria-military.html   Van Buren’s Comment: https://wemeantwell.com/blog/2019/10/18/so-adm...

The so-called deep state has leftist roots aiming at the centralization and control of political power. This manifests as decision-making authority of financial resources and private property at the expense of personal liberty. All states tend to become deep by the very nature of bureaucracy, which is inherently plagued by the failures of socialism, an inability to conduct economic calculation and...

Incrementalism is the gradual path of encroachment upon individual rights that leads to tyranny. Before someone can exert their will over you they must first disarm you. This is why there can be no compromise on the fundamental principles of liberty.    Being well trained in the use of arms and actually having them in your possession at all times is an essential ingredient to securing yourself, as...

Rather than focusing on doomsday insurgencies against tyranny, like a recent ammo.com article described, it’s more skillful to use the Constitutional prescription for the security of a free state. It’s time to change the narrative on the use of arms in a just society, particularly to curtail the designs of rogue officials. In this, pragmatic strategies from samurai tradition allow individual arts,...

Today we go to the heart of the political-economic problems confronting the United States, and the world for that matter, to find Constitutional solutions scholar-warriors can implement and seize the initiative.

A violent encounter caught on film against a female police officer getting a gun stuck in her face reveals deep lessons for warrior-scholars advancing liberty. Strategy and tactics, based on the universal and scientific principles of natural law, for the security of a free state, are informed by the principles of political economy.

Criminal tragedies in the first minutes of the New Year 2019, reinforce the seriousness of conflict in the real world. Securing life, liberty, and property requires training founded upon reality, where consequences matter not only for individuals but society as a whole.  In 1928, Kenji Tomiki wrote a letter expressing the superiority of aikijujutsu (aikido) to the sport of judo for the arena of ‘s...

Ascribing human qualities to abstractions, like society and the resulting yet illogical social contract theory, opens the door to corruption and abuse. Countering these fallacies with the Precision Model of thinking demands specificity and affords greater understanding to everyone involved. The evolution of law, justice, and governance also requires greater precision, specificity, and explicit ter...

While somewhat helpful, creating a vision of a more secure and prosperous world requires more than mere slogans. It requires knowing what, exactly, to defend. Leaving these definitions unclear only invites corruption and the perversion of law. There is a way to clarity. Listen to find out.

We can learn from tragedy and incorporate unfortunate lessons into our greater situational awareness that creates the space necessary to apply technique. This also requires a legal environment that supports individual dignity, based on scientific law.

Real progress comes through deliberate human action working with natural resources to produce life-enhancing goods. This requires a legal environment that protects private property, repels invasions, and values individual initiative.
