For our friends who are insomniacs or working third shift: Sunday, December 22st 1 AM to 4 AM CST — in other words, the wee hours TONIGHT — Mike Lotus and Jim Bennett will be interviewed on Coast to Coast Radio by John B. Wells, discussing America 3.0.
We look forward to our conversation with John (pictured here on his motorcycle) and his listeners, and we thank Coast to Coast radio for having us on.
I will circulate a link to any podcast when it becomes available.
UPDATE:
There is a strong admonition on the excellent blog Cold War Warrior to read America 3.0 and to listen to the radio show during the wee hours tonight. The Cold War Warrior cites the great Frédéric Bastiat, about the perversion of our public life since the end of the Cold War:
The law has been used to destroy its own objective: It has been applied to annihilating the justice that it was supposed to maintain; to limiting and destroying rights which its real purpose was to respect. The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder. And it has converted lawful defense into a crime, in order to punish lawful defense.
Converting “plunder into a right” sounds very much like the cronyism which is ransacking our country under color of law. Cold War Warrior goes on to write:
There is a restlessness, an uneasiness among the population that is palpable. The federal government’s response has been one of fear. The government gets more abusive as it becomes increasingly fearful. The tide will change. The people will rebel at the ballot box and in the picket line but then what? What is the plan? Voices decry the current situation but few offer solutions. America 3.0 is the right idea presented at the right time. The John Wells interview is a long format so the ideas can be explored.
Jim Bennett and I are looking forward to this conversation.
A new vision and understanding of who we have been, what we are, and what we can become is emerging at many seemingly disconnected points throughout the culture of America and the rest of the Anglosphere. I have found that the word, “freeorder,” efficiently sums up the idea that beneficial order comes together more out of freedom than out of compulsion. I plan to listen to this interview expecting that it will offer insight into the emerging world of freeorder. We need a dramatic and energetic phase shift in culture, and the ideas of Bennett and Lotus will help bring it about.
Taking a cue from Anonymous, the potential for ‘freeorder’ is an important element of the promise of America 3.0. ‘Freeorder’ is the lights winking on in a darkening world; America 3.0 is the photon of light emitted as the electrons move between energy levels. America 3.0 advocates exciting forward motion building on and illuminating ideas of freemen as opposed to a return to a past that never was and can never be. America 3.0 is the potential that can be realized and it is exciting.
