    Professor Jason Morgan, of Reitaku University in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, joins us to discuss his article on how private security is insufficient to secure a free state, how security providers like the samurai, the Praetorian Guard, and the Pinkertons tend to transform into statist nuisances, and why a popular militia of armed citizens, trained in the martial arts, is necessary for liberty and international peace. This is the real purpose of the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms.

    Bitcoin's increasing popularity is invoking calls for its suppression, with some calling it a threat to US national security that undermines the dollar.  Yet, what are the characteristics and uses of sound money in the first place?  What is a government's role in regulating money when that government is designed to secure liberty in the present and for posterity? We illustrate the issue using political conditions during Tokugawa Japan and the iconic samurai cinema and manga story, Lone Wolf and Cub, the baby cart assassin.

    Dr. Edwin Vieira explains how the Second Amendment, taken in context with the militia clauses of the Constitution, can put an end to modern gun control, while also putting an end to the COVID19 lockdowns.  The COVID19 pandemic has revealed gaps in the promise of self-government yet the Constitution already has the solutions. The authorities already exist in the ‘supreme law of the land’ and by revitalizing local institutions, deemed necessary to the security of a free state, people and communities can decentralize political control so as to put an end to the creeping tyranny at the federal and state levels while simultaneously protecting the right to keep and bear arms. This is a comprehensive, legal solution for restoring liberty, to ourselves and our posterity. Yet self-government active civic engagement, not reliance upon politicians, bureaucrats, and technocrats.  Show notes: www.everydaysamurai.life/47 Tactical pens: https://go.everydaysamurai.life/pen

    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 that includes the physical body, relationships to potential opponents or environmental threats, in addition to the tools and resources at your disposal.  Prevailing in conflict, or avoiding it in the first place, requires embodying a resilient posture and being well practiced with tactical breathing techniques is the best way to release stress, eliminate tension from the body, and elevate your situational awareness; so you can achieve optimal performance.  Posture, in combination with deep abdominal breathing, is the quickest path to the flow state.

    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 direct resources to their highest-valued ends. Therefore all bureaucracies are not only wasteful but also, in the absence of market competition and price signals, blind to the needs of the people they are supposed to serve. Bureaucracies naturally transform into self-serving institutions ripe to advance leftist ideology and advance the deep state. Leftist capture of key social and governmental institutions especially media outlets and education further grows the deep state through social engineering and shaping public discourse. Rather than preserving liberty and encouraging free thinking, leftists, politicians, and senior executive bureaucrats look upon individuals as pawns in their master plan. All of this is inimical to free-thinking, entrepreneurship, and liberty. Leftists and the deep state prefer an ignorant and distracted citizenry that they can tax, mold, and direct at will. Yet government in the Enlightenment tradition is supposed to protect liberty and secure a free space for people to pursue their own happiness. In order to restore the proper role and function of government, all leftist designs must be resisted and the deep state must be undermined. It begins with understanding the principles of justice and must translate into positive action.

    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 well as contributing to the security of a free state.    Individually and collectively, a free society cannot allow incrementalism to erode the foundations of justice and the practical means of maintaining self-government.     That a Free State offers no privileges to those that would live as parasites must engage in incrementalism and obscure their designs. All politics is based on deception.    The political class must pervert law away from its real purpose of serving justice and promoting social harmony before they can exert their will upon their constituents. They must confuse issues and pit groups against one another in order to divide and rule.    Upholding the principles of justice are easy when you understand the simplicity of common law: do all you have agreed to do and do not encroach upon other people or their property. A government orchestrated for this sole purpose, the protection of people and their property is inexpensive and noninvasive. It is entirely opposite to the present experience with governments, the most expensive and invasive humanity has ever known.   There is a better way. It begins by developing the your own dignity and self-mastery, grounded in principle and disciplined to bring forth your highest capacities.   This is why we train along the dual path of scholarly and martial arts.   Bring your best self forward with the enhanced mindfulness practice of Brain Shots: www.everydaysamurai.life/shots     References:   Aristotle: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/politics-a-treatise-on-government/id395545349?mt=11   Mark Mazower, Governing The World:   https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/governing-the-world/id520240957?mt=11   Abraham Maslow on the hierarchy of needs:   Toward a Psychology of Being https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/book/toward-a-psychology-of-being/id1130653193?mt=11&at=1000lNCh   John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government:   https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/second-treatise-of-government/id395546114?mt=11   Clausewitz On War:   All Volumes (Illustrated) https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/book/on-war-all-volumes-illustrated/id473064144?mt=11&at=1000lNCh   Sun Tzu, The Art of War: The Art of War https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/book/the-art-of-war/id1161754554?mt=11&at=1000lNCh
