Hello all.
Not sure if there's another thread on this.
Pete's wife let me know on Facebook that he passed on March 9.
They lived with her daughter and her husband so she's being looked after. But she has a broken heart.
I'm going to ask if there's any way we can help.
There are no crimes against people.
There are only crimes against the state.
And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.

So people have passed here before... I know there have been efforts to help out but I'm not sure what the mechanics are. Anyone with experience setting something up? I don't want to just ask her for her address.

Thanks for letting us know. I just today looked at his Facebook page, and saw that it hadn't been updated in a long time. Many of us assumed that he had passed.
RIP @pcosmar.

This is terrible news. Pete will certainly be - and has been - missed around here.So people have passed here before... I know there have been efforts to help out but I'm not sure what the mechanics are. Anyone with experience setting something up? I don't want to just ask her for her address.
I've started a memorial thread in the Remembrance forum: Pete Osmar [pcosmar] memorial thread
I copied over your previous post (and ClaytonB's reply). Condolences and updates for donations/offerings/etc. can be posted there.

First time seeing this thread, what a bummer.. definitely in the top 5 posters on the forum. I was hoping to go up and meet the guy in the pacnw some day.

What would be most amazing is if his daughter took over his handle here and his life of freedom carried on to her. That is what needs to be encouraged in these times of great (coerced) transition. Godspeed Pete. I hope whatever choices you made during your life made it all interesting, at least. As RP told us all years ago, go have fun. Whatever fun is to you.

"We have set them on the hobby-horse of an idea about the absorption of individuality by the symbolic unit of COLLECTIVISM. They have never yet and they never will have the sense to reflect that this hobby-horse is a manifest violation of the most important law of nature, which has established from the very creation of the world one unit unlike another and precisely for the purpose of instituting individuality."- A Quote From Some Old Book
RIP Pete.

“The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner
It hurts to lose a brother in this fight for liberty. Pete always stood out to me with his brutal honesty and his integrity. He took responsibility for his own life and did not try to sugarcoat his past. He clearly loved liberty and was a refreshing voice of truth on these forums. RIP Pete, you were loved by many.
No - No - No - No

RIP
Being that this is an online forum, I wonder if his family is even aware of the impact Pete made here? I guess one of the amazing things about the interwebs is that they can now go back in time to read his thoughts on matters.
"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Bastiat

Aw man, rest in peace Pete.
See you on the other side, my brother.
Just like Pete to leave a down to earth account of his passing.
I figured he was at peace, but sure am glad he did this to let his friends know that.
RIP and will always be missed, til we meet again
Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.
What others do pales beside what YOU do.
Press on! - The r3VOLution continues...
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
~ C.Coolidge
Edit: Just now seeing this. Praying for Pete's family. He was one of my favorite people here.

I am so sorry I missed all this. Man, I always have wanted to meet alot of you all and Pete was definitely one who put his heart and soul into all of this in his own way from the very inception. I am so sad today.

I consider him an online friend I've known for about 15 years, RIP.

Pete was a Grateful Dead fan.
I can think of no Grateful Dead song more fitting than this to remember him by.
I am not ashamed to admit my tears right now...my mom, a good friend in real life and a good friend in the interlinks, all gone in the past couple of weeks...god damn it.
Rest in peace my brother...
If I knew the way, I would take you home

He always kept it real and never sugarcoated things, he will surely be missed by a lot of us here...
