It's Not Who's Right But Who's Left


by John Williams,

We seasoned survivalists have a saying, "It's not who's right but who's left."

SurviveAll has ALWAYS depended upon one's ability and capability to survive. It

has nothing to do with who is right or wrong. And one's ability to survive is

becoming more crucial every day.

I feel very fortunate to have grown up in the 50s and 60s, and I feel very sorry

for my many young readers who weren't around during those times. Because our

freedoms and lifestyles are being eroded gradually on a daily basis, the losses

are sometimes hard to recognize over short periods of time. However, since the

50s and 60s, the cumulative losses are now enormous.

Consider how things were back then and how they are now:

(1) THEN, you were a much-freer person.

TODAY, every phase of your life is controlled. Perhaps this area alone makes me

feel the greatest amount of sorrow for the young people of today. Only few of

them will experience what it is really like to be FREE. I can think of the

countless hours I spent as a teenager and young adult hunting just about any

where I wanted to with any weapon I could afford, shooting off the most powerful

fireworks and home-made rockets, drinking Coors down by the river, swimming nude

in spots set-aside for young adults, and running wild and having just a good 'ol

time.

TODAY, you can't fart without a permit. You can be arrested for possessing a

sparkler. There is almost nothing you can do without either breaking a law,

endangering your life because somebody will mess with you, or paying a huge

user-fee, tax or insurance premium. Every second of your life is now surveilled

by big Government and big business. If you don't believe me, get a hold of your

credit report from your local Credit Bureau and learn just how much you are

really being spied upon. (Don't pay for the report; instead, apply for an

outrageous loan and then demand a free copy after being turned down).

I consider the loss of our freedoms to keep and bear arms to be the most

offensive and dangerous of all of our losses of freedoms. The intent of the

Second Amendment is crystal clear: Our Founding Fathers intended for every adult

male (as females did not serve in the militia) to possess, train in the proper

use of, and to use as required to defend freedom, not only guns but rockets,

explosives and artillery (as these are all classified as "arms" that existed at

that time). And for over 100 years, that's how the Second Amendment was largely

interpreted to mean.

However, our judiciary is now so corrupted and controlled that I doubt if you

will find a Federal judge anywhere that will admit to the truth when in comes to

Second Amendment issues. Now, even single-shot hunting rifles are threatened.

You won't even be able to hunt with lawn darts - because they're illegal too.

Your right to keep and bear arms is that thin blue line that protects every

other right defined by the CONSTITUTION.

And if you think that you have true First Amendment rights - think again. As

publishers of very controversial works, I can tell you that the extent of your

First Amendment rights largely depends upon whether or not you own a press. And

even then, it only barely exists. For example, since first publishing AUTOMATIC

TELLER MACHINES in 1978, my life was threatened by a banking/ATM newsletter

publishing out of the Twin Towers in New York, efforts have been made to strong

arm the AG of New Mexico to put us out of business, banks have refused us loans

and have cancelled accounts on us based upon lame excuses, and at least one

major banking and ATM organization, Security Pacific (worth$77 Billion), has

been snooping into our Credit Bureau records. The only First Amendment rights

you now have are those accorded to you by big-shots.

WHO TO BLAME: We have progressively been moving into a slave state. The people

behind this movement are just about everyone in a position of power. By

controlling you, they can better force you to do THEIR wills - and destroy those

they don't feel are sucking-up enough. And once they've got your guns, the only

thing you are going to be able to use your hands for is to try toc over up your

genitals when the big-shots get around to herding you into the "showers."

At first blush, it seems ironic that while officials everywhere are publicly

applauding the crumbling of the communist dictatorships of the Soviet Union and

Eastern Europe and the fresh air of freedom now blowing thru those lands, while

at the same time, doing everything within their power to erode and destroy

freedom in the "Free World". But the truth is that the big-shot capitalists just

can't wait to subject their youths to flipping burgers for aliving, paying

thousands of rubles in car insurance for the privilege of driving, and getting

ripped-off by the credit card companies.

(2) THEN, it was, "Ask not what your country could do for you but what you could

do for your country."

TODAY, it's, "I've got mine, so up yours!" Now, there are no rules. Whatever you

can get away with - by hook or by crook -is 100% OK. The end justifiesthe means.

You are only wrong if you get caught, prosecuted and imprisoned without being

able to buy, bullshit or muscle yourself out of the situation. WHO TO BLAME (or

to credit): This has always been the attitude of the rich and powerful. They

have always demanded that ordinary people keep on the straight and narrow, while

at the same time they have robbed, cheated, gouged and lied to anyone and

everyone they could to gain enormous wealth and power. Nothing makes a big-shot

bolt-up in bed in the middle of the night soaked in a cold sweat faster than the

fear that the people will find out that they are being ripped-off and will take

the law into their own hands. But thanks to Ronald Reagan, the gospel of

"Looking after Number 1" has trickled down to the middle and upper-middle

classes. Thanks to Ronnie -that eternal Hollyweird liberal zealot - greed has

become thoroughly democratized.

(3) THEN, altho the "justice system" has always favored the rich, there were

many honest and decent police officers, prosecutors and judges, and your

prospects of getting a fair trial or justice if you or a loved one were the

victim of a vicious crime, were much higher.

TODAY, most prosecutors and judges are bought off. Even horrendous whitecollar

crimes are treated with kid gloves - if not ignored altogether. Rob $Millions

from an S&L, bank, Pentagon contractor or government agency, and the police,

prosecutor, judge and you will grin and wink back and forth at each other until

the charges are dropped or reduced to something ridiculous. And if you are

convicted by some rare fluke, you will be fined a small percentageof the rip-off

and required to do something really punitive like, "community service."

WHO TO BLAME: Enforcers of the legal system are bought and sold like condoms

over the counter. Now, police commissioners, prosecutors and judges, and dope

dealers live in the same neighborhoods, go to the same uptown parties, belong to

the same clubs, move in the same social circles and send their kids to the same

schools. They spend so much time sucking each other off, it's a wonder they can

get anything done! If you are part of the clique, no crime is too great to get

you punished. If not, no crime is too small to get you harassed. And if you are

young-and-on-your-own, have long hair or a beard, are poor or lower middle

class, and-or are non-Anglo, they don't even bother to unscrew the lid from the

jar of Vaseline!

I can plainly see it here even in this small nook of the world -Alamogordo, NM.

One of our mayors and real estate big-shots (Frank Carr, Jr) was finally

arrested for child molestation. He confessed to molesting children in our

community for over twenty years! When he wasn't draping one of his own kids over

a log in the forest, he was trying to drape yours. Because of the influence of

his big-shot friends at the Chamber, he got two years in the State's mental

institution, and was released about a year later. His "therapy" consisted of

viewing TV tapes and photos of children being molested. He now lives in

Albuquerque.

In another case, a young Hispanic male from the barrio was arrested for carrying

a couple of ounces of weed. He was sentenced to the New Mexico State Prison in

Santa Fe. A year later, he was killed in the New Mexico Prison Riot-had his eyes

burned out with a blow torch. Shortly after he was convicted, a big-shot doctor

was arrested for growing weed in his backyard by the kilo. He got to spend a few

Sunday's in jail.

(4) THEN, you could get out of high school or college, find a decent job, get

married, buy a home, and experience the American dream.

TODAY, the probability is very high that you've got to set-up household with a

minimum of one other full-time worker, you don't have a prayer of becoming

self-sufficient trying to "earn" a living, and the only house you will live in

is one owned either by your folks or the landlord. Over the last 8 years,while

the cost of food, energy, insurance, medical care, etc has doubled, tripled and

quadrupled, minimum wage has not increased a single cent! Although most people

don't earn minimum wage, most people get paid based upon a scale related to

minimum wage. Because minimum wage has not increased, millions of young people

have been robbed of their futures. During these same 8 years, the wealthiest 10%

of our society have made off like bandits.

WHO TO BLAME: The blame here is clearly the huge political influence of

big-shots in the business community. They outright own just about everyone who's

job can be defined as political. If they need a blow job, they get on the phone

and ring State Senator and five minutes later he is at their door salivating

like mad. If they need a 25% auto insurance rate boost - it's as automatic and

as evil.

(5) THEN, you could find a decent, full-time, permanent position with decent

benefits.

TODAY, you're lucky if you can even find a job. And if you can, it's probably

part-time and-or temporary with miserable pay and-or few or no benefits. And if

you can, it's probably because you've got a relative or friend who got you in,

or you spread your legs for somebody. Getting a good job these days has a lot

more to do with who you blow than what you know. And even if you do find a "good

job" with good benefits, your employer can now LEGALLY rob every dime of your

retirement fund - leaving you homeless and destitute - thanks to a Federal law

passed by Congress and signed by Reagan.

It's obvious even around here. For example, if you want a job with New Mexico

State University, it sure seems to help if you are a fuck-bitch to some big-shot

in Las Cruces. I asked one NMSU administrator, "What is the point of

bullshitting NMSU students that if they study hard and work hard, they'll get a

better job, when the truth is that the only skill they need to learn to geta

good job at NMSU is how to give it up?" And if UNM (in Albuquerque) really

wanted to teach their business students how to become outrageous financial

successes, then the only thing they need to teach them is how to get the parking

meter concession at UNM.

WHO TO BLAME: Again, the captains of our industries and institutions, and their

kiss-asses in the Chamber of Commerce, who are not going to be happy until 90%

of the population is literally enslaved.

(6) THEN, you could drive a car for a few dollars per week. Gas was cheap and

you didn't have to buy insurance.

TODAY, gas cost you a fortune and the insurance companies have fixed it so you

can't drive a mile per year without paying $1,000+ in premiums. Their system is

very simple: They bribe state legislators requiring you to buy car insurance.

The police power of the state then become Mafia - style enforcers to force the

collection of the insurance. They then jack up the rates at least 2-3 times the

inflation rate every year. For providing millions of people absolutely nothing

except a box-full of receipts, they steal $Billions from them - totally legally

without you having a single recourse under the law to stop them and still be

able to drive.

The insurance industry is now so powerful that they can even deprive you of your

say at the ballot box. California is an ample example of that, where the

insurance industry has virtually defeated the referendum to reduce insurance

costs. If the California referendum authors had been a little smarter, they

would have written the referendum to read, "No State law can be passed or

enforced that requires or compels a resident to purchase auto insurance without

the State itself providing that insurance at no greater than 1% of theresident's

annual net income or $1,000 per year, whichever is less.". Then, the insurance

industry would not even have a legal leg to sue on.

WHO TO BLAME: The insurance companies. Oh, sure they blame the lawyers(another

group of swindlers). And the lawyers are partially to blame. But it is the

insurance big- shots who bribe politicians to pass laws requiring you to get

insurance - not the tort lawyers. They also blame the car crash victims, so you

known how much to believe them. The truth is that insurance companies are

parasites, and they suck a greater percentage of your blood every year.

What I can never understand is that the same middle-class police officer, who is

equally victimized by the insurance big-shots, initiates the process by

ticketing drivers for not being insured. The insurance big-shots must surely be

slapping their knees and horse-laughing at the country club over the fact that

they can get some big, burly police officer, who will risk his life to bring

down a drug dealer with an Uzi or rescue a child from a burning building, to do

their dirty work for them like some whimpering dog who has been beaten into

submission.

(7) THEN, you could swim in a river that was clean, breathe fresh air, and eat

wholesome foods.

TODAY, most things have turned into garbage. Everything is purposely polluted or

poisoned. Birth defects and illnesses are at epidemic levels and increasing

daily. Where there used to be wide-open virgin forests and clean and pure bodies

of water, you find fences, mining operations, erosions, chemical spills and

trash.

WHO TO BLAME: Virtually all of us must share the blame here, but some of us much

more heavily then others. These are the captains of our industries and

institutions and the big-shots who protect their interests. It is up to us to

protect our environment in our day-to-day activities, and to insist that big

business and government also protect the environment.

(8) THEN, you could find an attractive person, have sex with her/him with the

only fears of the girl getting pregnant - with a much less concern about

venereal disease. And even if you got VD, it was virtually always curable.

TODAY, have sex with the wrong person, and two years later you might be down 50

pounds, with sores all over your body, and nothing to look forward to except

death!

WHO TO BLAME: My view is that AIDS (and probably a couple of other newer VDs and

versions) resulted from government biological warfare experimentation. The

question is which government? I doubt if we will ever know. Probably several

have done this to us.

(9) THEN, 90+% of all American businesses were owned by Americans.

TODAY, most of our big businesses (and many smaller ones) are owned and

controlled by foreigners. For example, nearly one-third of all U.S. banking

assets are now foreign-owned. That means, every time you make out a credit card

payment, a substantial portion of it is sucked off by some billionaire foreigner

sitting on his fat ass in London, Bonn, Tokyo, Montreal or elsewhere.

WHO TO BLAME: Our Government is to blame here. Political bribes have produced

legislation and regulations that allow foreign big-shots to sodomize every

American man, woman and child. The solution is simple

(A) Confiscate all foreign-owned properties.

(B) Disavow and cancel all U.S. debt owed to foreigners.

(C) Make it a capital crime for any person or corporation to make

(D) Cancel all passports owned by foreign businessmen and lobyists.

(E) Make it a capital crime to accept any donation, contribution or gratuity

from a foreign source.

Our great nation is in an emergency situation. If we don't act very soon on this

matter, we will end up like India, where you have millions of half- starved

people turning out trinkets in their back yards.

WHAT TO DO

I don't mean to imply that America is totally rotten. Or to imply that the

solution is to destroy it or even to overthrow its Government. Most of our major

corporations and institutions are rotten to the core and MUST be replaced or

destroyed. However, by and large, the average American citizen is still a good,

decent human being. Our CONSTITUTION is the best that has ever been written

anywhere. And the framework of our Government is a solid basis to build upon.

I've asked myself, "What would our Founding Fathers do if they suddenly

returned?" Heros like George Washington, Sam Adams, Pat Henry, Tom Jefferson and

Ben Franklin. First of all, they would be highly pissed. Second, they would kick

a hell of a lot of ass. Do you think that if Sam Adams lived today, he would be

saying, "Yo dude, don't bother me about that. I've got to get up at six to get

those fries going."?

I like the ways that the great Mexican revolutionaries Porfirio Diaz and

Emiliano Zapata expressed it, "It is far better to die on your feet than to live

on your knees," and "Go not to a tyrant with your hat in your hand, but with a

rifle in your fist." Call me old-fashioned if you will, but it is mybelief that

the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE fully legitimizes ANY action that the American

people choose to take to change their Government or to correct the abuses of

power.

As one person or as a small group, you are virtually powerless to do anything

within the law to effect reasonable changes in our society. How about the vote?

Sure. You get the choice between two or more crooks - if even the incumbent

crook is challenged at the polls. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't vote.

Always vote - even if you have to choose a lesser evil -or write in your vote. I

am a big believer that evil must be challenged in every direction - even if your

chances of success are small. The vote has occasionally worked. Better yet,

organize political forces and candidates that represent YOUR views. Hopefully,

those views will include the absolute critical need to preserve the Bill of

Rights - including the implied right to privacy.

Get even. If somebody rips you off or someone you love, get even with them. I

make a practice of carrying around certain items that I can use to get even with

somebody who's done an injustice against me or against a family member or

friend. You would be surprised how handy Crazy Glue, DMSO gel laced with certain

substances, razor blades, ice picks, toothpicks, piano wire, etc can come in

handy when you have to deal with a real shithead. Your bank ripped you off? That

could be so disturbing to you that you might accidentally reach for a slice of

processed cheese instead of your ATM card. One really neat method (I found in a

newspaper called, FULL DISCLOSURE, Box903, Libertyville, IL 60048) consists of

wetting a sponge, squeezing it dry,and while still moist, tightly binding it

with a string. After it has thoroughly dried, you cut off the string. The result

is a real tight spongeball. Be careful not to flush it down any toilets as it

could expand and lock itself into position, resulting in a very messy situation

and expensive repair. Altho not as permanent as the explosive method we describe

in TOILET TRAINER, it's very simple and easy to do and impossible to prove.

Another really neat toilet method of dealing with a shithead (see our ULTIMATE

JUSTICE manual) is to lift up the toilet seat, stretch a piece of Saran wrap

across the toilet bowl and close the seat. This trick is so nasty, don't even

think about doing it in your own house.

In carrying out your mission, if I may, I have some suggestions:

(1) Honor is important. While there are many who will rip-off or vandalize

anyone, if you want to accomplish a noble goal, you must select only those most

deserving of your attention and leave innocent people alone. For example, if a

person robs a bank to get rich, to me he's just a common crook that should be

locked up. But if he destroys a bank that's largely foreign-owned or that's

stealing homes, businesses or farms, to me he's a hero.

(2) Never take credit for what you've done. Defending freedom is not a humorous

matter or something that you brag about. If you want to brag, brag about your

bowling score. In fact, when it comes to personal type actions, it is usually

far better to act alone and to never tell anyone.

(3) Don't bicker over philosophy. If you have a common enemy, the first thing

you must do is unite and destroy that enemy. Then after wards, sort out the

particulars. That's basically what the freedom fighters did in Romania. They

saved their country first, and now they are going thru the re-birthing process.

That's why I repeatedly state that, "It's not who's right but who's left." You

can go literally nuts -not to mention miss the entire point -trying to figure

out what has the greatest claim to righteousness.

And always keep in mind that your enemy is very clever. He will plant among you

spies and provocateurs. A classic example of how well they did this wasduring

the Vietnam War. The truth is, that most of the blame for the VietnamWar belongs

to the oil companies that had rigs off of the coast of Vietnam, pumping oil like

mad during most of the war.

You didn't know? No mystery to that. It was kept out of the papers. And the oil

companies continuously paid off the communists to leave their operations alone

(it is also believed that they provided the communists with intelligence). The

communists then used these bribes to buy Soviet and Chinese weapons to kill our

heroes. This may come as a shock to you, but Valdez was not our first experience

at being ripped-off at the sign of the double-cross.

But who was actually blamed for the war? Why it was the American fighting men

and women who served in that war. Why were they blamed? Our fighting men and

women were blamed primarily to take the pressure off of the politicians, oil

companies and military brass. They were also blamed to cheat them of jobs and VA

benefits upon their return home. The widespread belief was that they were

doped-up, infected, baby-killers and thus undeserving of decent employment and

VA benefits.

Who carried out the execution? That job largely fell into the hands of

those"freedom-loving hippies" that protested the war. Altho many Vietnam War

protesters were sincere in their beliefs, the movement itself was largely

dominated by rich, spoiled, yellow, draft-dodging slimebags whose real agenda

was to dishonor and destroy the decent men and women who served in that war. The

only thing I can blame on our heroes was that they were entirely too naive and

trusting in their Government. As was I then.

The Vietnam War should have taught everyone first of all not to trust your

Government (for that matter, not to trust ANY Government). Second, it should

have taught you to see thru the bullshit and read between the lines, and to

never lose the sight of who the real enemy is.

(4) Support those who are loyal or helpful to the cause. I hate to sound like

I'm tooting my own horn, but it is very important to support those entities

important to the cause. Not just us, but others like this news letter, 2600: THE

HACKER'S QUARTERLY, FULL DISCLOSURE, etc. There aren't that many of us around,

and the risks and pressure we take are enormous.

To stay in business, and help others by spreading the word, and information

CONSUMERTRONICS, CYBERTEK, and all the other similar publishers require two

simple things:

(A) A steady flow of information contributions. Virtually all of our books and

manuals reflect substantial information contributions. If you want to get the

information out, please send it to us. There is only two areas that

CONSUMERTRONICS doesn't publish: drugs and porno.

(B) A loyal customer base that will also provide us a lot of word-of-mouth

advertising. When I say, "loyal," I don't mean that you buy from us, copy the

material and distribute the pirated copies to your friends. If it is your belief

that all information should be free, then by all means generate your information

independently, write up your own manuals and distribute them to your heart's

content. But for US to stay in business, we require sales, and if you steal

those sales from us, you are robbing everyone of future information and access.

We have only YOU to depend upon. Again, we need YOUR continual support to help

the spread of information & ideas, and to help make this country become well

again.

I wish you all the best of successes in all that you do.
