"Trusted friends of freedom must be enemies of slavery, enemies of aggression, and enemies of all who would steal from us, cage us, and kill us. The friend of freedom can make no excuse for collectivism and government domination. The friend of freedom is not a nationalist, a 91 racist, a bigot, nor any other form of collectivist who would seek to judge his fellow man based on anything other than the man himself. The friend of freedom is a true abolitionist and a voluntaryist. He doesn't pick and choose what "rights" the government should "grant" or "protect". The friend of freedom knows that government can only suppress rights, and it can give nothing to anyone unless it stole it from someone else first. The friend of freedom should express to the world his unique brand of liberty primarily though his own deeds and secondarily through his words. The friend of freedom's life, in-and-of-itself should be an act of witness, and "evangelism" should be an afterthought if it is to be engaged in at all. After all, freedom is the natural condition of humanity. It is our default setting. Freedom needs no outlandish televangelists. In actuality freedom is the enemy of the religion of Statism, but it is not a competing religion and it needs no phony hucksters selling it for the price of a donation.
The vast majority of friends of freedom will be content to seek their own freedom in their own life through avoiding government agents or attempting to get-along as best they can with the system we currently have. They don't like the system, but many feel there is little if anything they can do about it. They have families and busy lives and their primary goal is to survive, and we wish them well. Some will be driven to speakout in some way or express their frustration with the current system through writing or public speaking or though some other peaceful activism. We need these activists and we honestly do wish them well. However there will be some of these friends who will not be content to avoid conflict. There will be some who will possess a fire burning inside them, and that fire will seek a different path. From this last group we must carefully select our friend-saboteurs and teach them of our mission. From this radical group the Legos will be spread across the carpet in anticipation of that moment. Then in the middle of the night the State will encounter that immovable object, and the State will be revealed, not as an omnipotent god, but as fragile and weak, crumbling to its knees for all to see.
This we will do. "
