Thread: RIP William N. Grigg

  1. #31
    This is genuinely tragic news.

    Will Grigg was the most relentless and eloquent critic of "police statism" that I have ever encountered.

    OK. I don't mean to wax overly paranoid, but these days it's become more difficult to do. The chicanery is so deep and vicious nowadays that almost nothing can be taken for granted.

    I was told by a friend, for example, that Wikileaks had acknowledged that the Dem. d00d who was killed on... what was it, the Capitol steps???... was in fact the source of the Podesta emails. It all sounds so cloak and dagger, and yet here we are.

    There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.

    It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.

    Our words make us the ghosts that we are.

    Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.

    How would peaceful, orderly secession -- the reclaiming of independence by a state or, in the case of Texas, [republic] -- be "treason" against "the united States in Congress assembled"? By strict constitutional definition, "treason" consists only of "levying war against them" or in "adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort."

    Note how this passage refers to "states" in the plural, not to a singular national government. Interestingly, there is no language in the U.S. Constitution that makes "rebellion" against the general (or federal) government a form of treason. And since the federal government was designed to be an agent of the states, a state that chooses to withdraw from that relationship is hardly a "rebel."

    Furthermore, secession is not an act of war, since withdrawing from a social arrangement of any kind is exactly the opposite of aggression.

    Trust me, I understand fully.

    If it just came out of the blue, I'd be thinking the same thing.

    But, like I said, he had been in failing health for a while now, with a number of issues.

    Very sad to read this. He was one of my favorite writers and an excellent communicator.

    He is free now.
    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.

    I've taken a 50% pay cut over the last 12 months, but I think I can pull together $50 bucks.

    Ouch, my brother. That hurts something bad. I know where you are at though. I was down three weeks due to a back injury, worked my ass off for a week to try and get caught up and then my transmission went out on the new/used truck that I bought because my old used truck lost it's transmission and lost another week of work and $1400. 2017 isn't getting off to a good start. But, for Grigg I'll have to get together something in the next week or so.

    I am sorry to hear that, car troubles suck when you need a reliable ride.

    Gonna keep Grigg's work alive as much as I can and as long as I'm upright and taking nourishment.

    We're both of an age when it could be lights out at any moment...

    Car troubles don't suck anywhere near as bad a 50% pay cut. I appreciate that though. And, yeah, his work needs to be kept alive.

    Thank You.



    I've never been much of a writer (let alone one of my father's caliber), but I know that I must express my thanks to you all somehow.

    The support that we have received over these past few months has been more than I would have ever thought possible. A few weeks before my father passed away, he heard about the GoFundMe page (that our dear friend A.J. Ellis took it upon himself to set up) reaching $10,000 in his support. He said, "I didn't know that many people cared."

    I think he knew, though. He was unrelentingly humble about his accomplishments -- sometimes to a fault. But that's only one of the countless reasons that I looked up to him and loved him more than even he would have been able to express.



    And remember, though my father may no longer occupy our physical world, he will live on in all of us who continue to fight until our very last breath.

    Dum Spiro, Pugno.

    Tremendously sad news.

    We owe it to this great guy to press for more liberty everywhere.

    Damn.
