Being pro-social and pro-balance means that some changes are needed to the social architecture, particularly to the judicial and policing infrastructure.

In order to effect such complex changes with a proper duty of care, one must empathize with all perspectives. Some of these are desperate and extreme and they grow more ominous every day we sit back and do nothing. It is about time we do something, but before taking any action, we must achieve full empathy for those affected and engage in sober thought.

If this text inspires some sober thought in retrospect, after you fly off the handle with furious rage at the perspectives presented, then it was a success.

Prologue – The Collapse of Society

ow easy it is to see the failures in a failed society of the past. Much harder to see and accept problems in our own back yard. Even more difficult to foresee future failings of our domestic homeland. One can’t be objective when personally involved.

Step back for a minute and look at what has become of humanity.

Terrorism is out of control. Mass shootings have become expected on a daily basis. Elections are being engineered by foreign actors. Piracy is so rampant that it devalues creative works. Racism has mutated into a generalized diversiphobia which has created an autism holocaust.

Diversiphobia is the fear of diversity. Racism is a particular form of diversiphobia. Something as trivially unimportant as different coloured skin ignites fear, violence and marginalization. This is a much bigger problem for people with a differently structured brain.

Autism is a condition marked by a dramatically different structural wiring of the human brain. More than skin deep. Far more personally meaningful. The mass mistreatment of autistic people is not even acknowledged yet, at least partly because of the fact that autism is primarily a communication and sensory disability. So it is much harder for them to detect or complain about the problem. With the rapidly increasing rate of autism, we are in the midst of the autism holocaust.

Society is collapsing. It is only natural to be in denial about it.

With far-reaching vision, future collapses can be averted by fine-tuning the infrastructure as needed. Problems must be identified and corrected before they escalate. Incongruities detected early enough may be adapted to abide the changing environment and social attitude.

The proliferation of technology and the internet has accelerated ever-changing societal winds to gale force. Governmental bureaucracies need a power-up to make corrections more rapidly.

More than technological power, it is wisdom that we need

– The nature of things 2018-11-18

Like a gymnast on a balance beam, continuous feedback loops are vital to maintain equilibrium. We must learn to recognize the symptoms of a social imbalance before it is too late. Chief among these is the terrorism problem.

Fully neutralizing the threat requires understanding the root cause. Only then can we adjust the social policy to reflect reality. Fairy tale idealism doesn’t work in practice.

This dissertation articulates the author’s analysis. Insights have been deduced throughout years of accumulated observations and rigorous, hands-on research from the inside out.

Part of this includes a decade-long, brutal ordeal inflicted wrongfully by the Canadian government. The scandalous details are in the Epilogue. It is disturbing. Be forewarned, the Epilogue is not for the faint of heart.

Social Adaptation

As with many social adaptations, the future version of ourselves will see today’s social architecture as an immature, oppressive, sometimes inhumane administration. Clear in hindsight will be the inevitability of change. Keep this fundamental truth at the forefront of the mind to objectively contemplate social adaptations.

People change. Our children are not identical clones of ourselves, our grandchildren slightly more diverse still. The environment changes. Global warming is a very real thing. It alters the globe in unimaginable ways. Tools and capabilities change. The rapid rise of technology has irreversibly altered the social landscape.

These factors must be taken into account when crafting sustainable social policy. A rigid, inflexible social architecture will always crumble in the sands of time, no matter how foolproof it may seem at conception.

The visionary solution is to predict and adapt gradually, before social unrest escalates. Social policies must adapt continuously. They must shed outdated, counter-productive paradigms, to make way for a more enlightened incarnation of social philosophies. Any lasting society must be dynamic enough to accommodate ever-changing human inclinations.

The only social architecture which can survive in the very long term is the one which strives for balance with the axiom of impermanence in principle.

Democratic systems of government by the people were a good and necessary first step. Policy changes according to the will of the people, rather than a narrow-minded aristocrat. Legislatures are a slow juggernaut, laboriously assessing culture shifts and implementing new laws to correct outdated tenets.

The brave new world contains light-speed technology, which reacts instantly to changing attitudes. This is the norm for a new generation of networked human-machine hybrids, called millennials.

Purely legislative democracies struggle to keep pace with this intricately linked collective. For our cultures to survive, they must be assimilated into a much faster moving infrastructure. We are on the cusp of a major change. Resistance is futile.

Tribal Rift

An understated and truly insidious problem with many social infrastructures is a malignancy called a tribal rift. A tribal rift occurs when the architects of society lack understanding of a major constituent of the society they are constructing. Usually the empathy gap is for those who are marginalized.

Generally speaking, people with high IQ will have high affluence. These individuals will never experience poverty, scarcity, discrimination, judicial mistreatment, marginalization or voicelessness. The arduous realities of being in the lower class. Powerful people will always lack empathy for the socially disadvantaged. This is simply due to inexperience.

Affluent politicians are empathy outliers. If we plot empathy on a normal distribution curve, with the average person being at the mean and the lower class being the far left, then the politicians will often be found at the extreme right of the curve. They really only understand their own affluent lives and the challenges of being in the upper class.

These affluent leaders do not deal personally with the issues affecting an average person. They are not fully engaged with this segment of the public. Having never faced any of the major issues affecting an underprivileged person, they are completely disengaged from the lower class demographic. Many of them do not have a clue what it is like to be marginalized and in need. They are in effect, relative sociopaths, or “empatheots”, in that they have little or no empathy for a certain class of less fortunate people.

These relative empatheots have comparatively more power to influence the design of the social infrastructure than others with more direct knowledge of it. A diversity gap opens up between the leaders and those being led. A tribal rift.

Paradoxically, those with the least experience with the lower class have the most power to affect it. Tribal rifts make it virtually impossible to craft effective laws for this substantial segment of society. Various turmoils ensue for the lower classes. Social disturbances, even minor ones do not occur in a vacuum. There are secondary and tertiary effects. The chaos spreads and eventually affects all of society over time.

The errors introduced by political mistakes become a cumulative problem as inept corrections are made to the laws which only make things worse. Eventually it can topple the entire social infrastructure from civil unrest.

Look at the increased number of mass-shootings occurring. Look at the protests against horrific police violence. The queen sitting in her ivory tower cannot simply “let them eat cake” and expect good results.

The prime minister, sitting up there in parliament is making decisions that affect people in a social situation he knows absolutely nothing about. He can’t empathize with the people enduring dire circumstances. He hasn’t lived the realities of their life situations. Yet he is deciding crucial factors about their lives with absolutely no personal understanding.

How can an ignorant man reasonably make rational choices? It would be like a blind man leading the way and deciding which direction to turn. There is a certain absurdity in our social infrastructure.

Toronto politician Doug Ford said he understands homelessness because he interacted with a homeless person at a soup kitchen. As well-meaning as Mr. Ford might very well be, he most certainly does not know homelessness. Hearing about something or reading a report about it or even seeing a few instances of it with your own eyes is a lot different than actually living through it. You cannot truly understand or empathize with someone’s life experience until you have walked a mile in her shoes.

The noblest solution to the complex problem of policy optimization requires a genuinely informed perspective. It requires true empathy. The only way to acquire true empathy is to experience for oneself the conditions at the various rungs of the social ladder. This is more than any politician ever has or ever will do for the people. Somebody needs to do this.

The volunteer must have the analytical mind of a social policy advisor and an exceptionally humble sense of entitlement. An individual with extremely high IQ who could become one of the affluent members of society must choose to live without affluence to achieve this purpose.

Our theoretical volunteer communicates his analysis of the experiences to an attentive politician. She is then in a superior position to receive direction about how to fine-tune our social infrastructure in the optimal, sustainable fashion.

“Yet many of the world’s great movements of thought and action have flowed from the work of a single man”

– Robert F. Kennedy

About the Author

The author of this book is Drew McPherson. His IQ test results indicate he is in the top one percentile. He is also a very high-functioning autistic person. That means he’s one of those rare “idiot savants” like you see on TV sitcoms. Some people seem to think he is a fictional character. He is a very real person. Please don’t forget that.

Drew has a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Waterloo in Math/Computer Science/Electrical Engineering. He graduated with distinction.

Provided below is the most recent cognitive testing that Drew participated in.

Note that this testing was done when the author was literally at his worst, having just barely emerged temporarily from years of solitary confinement which has caused permanent brain damage to him. Unmedicated for his ADHD, Autism or PTSD. About 5 minutes prior to the testing, he was informed that the authorities were going to try to get a court order to have him “restrained and injected” with a contra-indicated substance that nearly killed him in 2004. Still, he scored a full scale IQ in the top one percentile.

Cognitive assessment conducted on Drew McPherson

You know when you’re walking down a hallway and you can see to the end of the hallway?

…Yeah…

Well I can see a lot farther than that.

— Drew McPherson

Drew perseverates on studying how systems are designed and how to improve them. He has noticed that some of the most fundamental laws are sub-optimal in light of the rapidly evolving technology which is available.

Drew also noticed that nobody has ever done a thorough analysis of our society to see how close it is to optimal; to determine what improvements could be made that nobody ever thought of. Drew figured he could do that, and therefore he should do that. Thus began the equilism project around 2005.

Drew recognizes people and their infrastructures are surprisingly similar to computers and their networks. Drew mastered computers early on, but was confused by people for a long time. The human mind seemed like a computer that purposely gives the wrong answer from time to time. After deep analysis, Drew realized it wasn’t actually giving the wrong answer. It is giving the right answer in the wrong environment.

The human mind is an ancient computer which is constructed to survive in a primitive environment which no longer exists. Many modern psychological and medical problems arise not despite affluence, but because of it.

Survival imbalances are supposed to be temporary, short-lived augmentations to the human system, such as the fight-or-flight instinct. Deep-rooted survival mechanisms activate inaptly when they are triggered by patterns in benign situation. Rather than experiencing a burst of physical activity, the individual is left sitting at a desk. The afflicted individual never achieves the necessary release. Pent-up imbalance accumulates, causing stress-related illness.

This gave rise to his 2006 book titled You may be ‘Insane’ and Not Even Know it! That book explains McPhersonian psychology. It provides detailed instructions about how to self-modify using meditation and a form of neuro-linguistic programming to cure various diseases of affluence and to function more effectively in the modern environment.

Using this model of the human mind, Drew cured his own anxiety and panic disorder with his own independently conceived flavour of cognitive behavioural therapy consisting of meditation and neuro-linguistic programming.

Drew has spent years of his life developing software to aggregate proactively disclosed government data to draw attention to government expense abuse. He is a whistleblowing journalist. This, combined with his autism spectrum condition makes him extremely vulnerable. Yet he persists with dedication towards the betterment of mankind.

In 2007, Drew read a MacLean’s magazine article about how the federal government’s so-called “proactive” disclosure of travel and hospitality expenses is a joke. The author of the article, Charlie Gillis, determined that the numbers are scattered so haphazardly throughout the government disclosure site that it cost him thousands of dollars to simply calculate a few pieces of aggregate information.

Drew figured he could write a web crawler to download the entire data set and produce any reports that were desired. So he did. The project was finished three years later and upon contacting Mr. Gillis to let him know Drew had fixed the problem, Charlie wrote a follow-up article in August 2010 about Drew’s government expense watchdog site.

Here is the article from Maclean’s magazine:

High-flying civil servants

Why bureaucrats’ travel and entertainment costs keep soaring

by Charlie Gillis Aug 25, 2010

Newscom/ Sandor Fizli/ Pawel Dwulit/CP

Even by the standards of a globe-trotting public health physician, the summer and fall of 2009 was a frenzied period for Dr. David Butler-Jones. The world was bracing for the onslaught of H1N1, and Butler-Jones was in charge of this country’s preparations.

He travels a lot at the best of times, but from the moment the first case of swine flu was confirmed in Mexico in late April, the bespectacled physician single-handedly sent the federal government reservation system into overdrive. Three trips to Vancouver. Four to Toronto. One to Mexico City. Another to London, England.

Calgary, Edmonton, Yellowknife, Montreal, Iqaluit, Regina, Moncton: all figured into the doctor’s schedule during those hectic weeks. And these trips did not include Butler-Jones’s oft-travelled route from his former home and base of operations in Winnipeg to the nation’s capital. In those eight months, he took an astounding 47 flights to Ottawa. By year’s end, with less than half the country vaccinated and swine flu proving much less than the three-headed monster advertised, he had racked up $210,393.66 in travel and hospitality spending, exceeded only by Gen. Walt Natynczyk, the chief of defence staff, who was overseeing the military mission in Afghanistan.

But any discussion of Butler-Jones’s travel expenses should delve much deeper than the 2009 flu scare. The previous year, he topped $192,000, and since he took up his post in late 2004, his myriad journeys have cost taxpayers just over $1 million – which makes him the grand champion of travel and hospitality spending in the federal government, at least among the cabinet ministers and elite bureaucrats who are required to reveal their claim on their departmental websites. How do we know? Because an unknown computer wizard in Nova Scotia named Drew McPherson has invented software that scans the stew of expense filings on so-called “proactive disclosure” pages of departmental websites, tabulating, ranking and generally making sense of what was hitherto a useless mélange of unrelated, uncollated and untotalled data.

So we now know that Butler-Jones has outspent ministers of foreign affairs in four separate years, and beneath his grand total are some jaw-dropping individual charges: a three-stop flight through Ottawa, Mali, and Washington that alone cost $18,231.27; a trip to Brazil in February 2009 for $12,673.48. The tolls for his Ottawa flights routinely exceeded $3,000 before he finally gave up this spring and moved to the capital. Under civil-service travel rules, the doctor’s executive status allows him to fly executive class – a privilege it’s hard to begrudge someone who travels so much. But a cursory search of airline websites reveals that round-trip business class tickets to Ottawa from Winnipeg can be had for about $1,800 with a couple of weeks’ advance booking. Could whomever was booking his travel not have done better? Does he always fly on a moment’s notice?

This sort of overspending is one of Ottawa’s oldest stories, but it’s safe to say McPherson has given it new life. The 33-year old IT consultant was inspired to act by the cover story in Maclean’s May 19, 2006 issue, when we combed proactive disclosure sites and found a travel and hospitality system ripe for abuse. He’s not what you’d call an ideologue – McPherson belongs to no party and doesn’t vote. But he was appalled to see the information scattered in a manner seemingly intended to discourage taxpayers from using it. “It was,” he says, “a ridiculous mess.”

Even for someone with a combined degree in computer science and engineering, imposing order wasn’t easy. The information was scattered over hundreds of sites and pages, he explains, “and there were a lot of peculiarities in the underlying codes. When you asked a machine to read it, it basically makes the machine choke.” But he stuck it out for more than a year, hunching over the off-the-shelf PC in his basement apartment in Dartmouth, N.S., to write software to wade through endless links on departmental websites, then grab the information at the end of each mini-odyssey. All, that is, in the blink of an eye.

When collated and tabulated on McPherson’s website, governmentexpenses.ca, the data puts a lot into perspective. Back in 2006, federal officials had assured Maclean’s that a planned travel booking portal, including an online booking tool, would halt the runaway train of government travel costs. McPherson’s updated stats show spending by ministers and senior bureaucrats actually increased in each of the following two years, to nearly $30 million. It then dipped by about $2 million with the recession in 2009, as the Harper government clamped down on civil-service spending. But this year it’s on pace to match the previous high, and that squares with what public accounts tell us about travel spending across all of the federal government. It has increased every year since the Maclean’s story came out and now stands at $1.6 billion, fully 25 per cent higher than in 2006.

Nor is there any sign of public employees reining in their spending due to tougher economic times. In 2009, ministers and senior officials booked 772 plane tickets worth more than $5,000; that’s a 28 per cent increase from three years earlier (since mid-2003 they’ve booked 4,438 worth more than $5,000, including 61 worth more than $20,000). Some of the cash drains are familiar to fiscal hawks – not least Canada’s embassy in France. In October 2008, Ambassador Marc Lortie hosted a dinner for 72 guests at the official residence in Paris, ostensibly to discuss international trade issues. Price tag to taxpayers: $12,820.91. A few months later, Lortie took a one-night trip to Montreal to give a speech at a seminar, purchasing a plane ticket that cost a whopping $6,171.94. Executive-class tickets can be had for $1,800 less than that with a few days notice.

Newer to the spending party is something called the Advanced Leadership Program, which is run by the Canada School of Public Service. Its intent is to “expand the world view” of senior civil servants by “maximizing their direct experience” in other countries, according to the school’s website. Under last year’s program, Anil Arora, an assistant chief statistician at Statistics Canada, racked up $17,081.60 in airfare and hotel bills hopscotching from Sacramento, Calif., San Francisco, Washington, Port au Prince and Mexico City. The same program took Barbara Ritzen, head of integration at Justice Canada, who is based in Edmonton, on a three-week journey from Banff, Alta., to Houston, Washington and Brazil.

Cost: $17,909.53, including $3,883.49 for accommodation. A spokeswoman for the public service school, a kind of in-house academy for bureaucrats, said in an emailed response that all flights booked for the program are the fully refundable – but more expensive – sort to allow late changes due to unforeseen circumstances. The program, she added, was a “response to demographic pressure facing Canada’s public service and the importance of developing the top level of public servants.”

Maybe. But it and other treats for top bureaucrats are part of a drift that even the best-intentioned bean-counters seem helpless to stop. Officials with Public Works Canada, which oversees the government’s travel booking portal, say all 96 government departments now use the new online booking tool, awkwardly christened “Travel AcXess Voyage.” In fiscal 2008-09, the government figures it saved $47 million in airfares and $42 million in hotel costs by negotiating lower rates with vendors, a spokesman said in an email. But it’s each department’s responsibility to look for bargains. While the new booking system raises flags when a traveller is not booking the lowest possible air fare, the traveller can override it using “justifications” based on time efficiency, flight availability, availability of seats and last-minute booking.

Such is frequently the case with Butler-Jones, says James Libbey, chief financial officer of the Public Health Agency of Canada, who fielded questions about the doctor’s expenses. “He’s very mindful of his expenditures, and of the responsibility of the agency to make sure taxpayers’ dollars are spent wisely,” Libbey says. But Butler-Jones’s job involves extensive consultation with international health organizations, he adds, and public-health crises like H1N1 and the 2008 listeriosis outbreak require travel, often last minute, to meet with his provincial and territorial counterparts. “Last year, H1N1 really took over his travel schedule.”

That said, Libbey isn’t disputing the results as laid out by McPherson’s website. “I had my people take a look at it on a sample basis and I think his reports are factually accurate,” he says. “We might as well work with them.” That it took an unknown computer whiz from the Maritimes to bring us to this point speaks to the government’s reluctance to face up to the truth, says Derek Fildebrandt, research director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “Accessibility of this sort of information was terrible when I began doing this a year and a half ago,” he says, “and it’s only got worse since.” As for McPherson, he’s hoping his attempt to “do a bit of public good” opens a window onto a world where economic laws that apply to the rest of us seem to hang suspended. An experimental vaccine, you might say, against a spending pandemic.

Personal Experience

Drew has been particularly intrigued by social infrastructures all his life, both explicit and implicit ones. He has worked in various explicit social infrastructures from a small non-profit company to large corporations. He incorporated his own business and has dealt with a variety of forms of intellectual property such as registered trademarks and copyrighted materials. He studied intellectual property law and contract law in university and on his own time. He has advocated in the legal system in both the civil and criminal branches.

Drew has done a broad-spectrum analysis spanning from the lowest levels of society, such as prisons, which are rarely endured by intelligent or pro-social life-forms, all the way up to the ivory towers of our leaders; the very power centres inhabited by bureaucrats whose privileged perspective can’t possibly fathom the struggles of the peons below.

Nobody has ever done a thoroughly open-minded, in-depth analysis contemplative of specific improvements that can be made while actually experiencing each of the areas of society for himself. It is one thing to theorize from the ivory tower. It is quite another to truly know the details from personal experience.

Many of the references in in the Endnotes are from personal experiences the author has had. More information is found in the Epilogue, which is very graphic and shocking. Reader discretion is strongly advised.

You may be horrified by some of the things that happen to people inside our beloved land of Canada. The author has learned a great deal from having gone through this Gravest Legal Injustice Throughout Canadian History, a major GLITCH to be sure.

A key purpose of this book is to ensure that horrific injustices like the ones the author has endured never occur again. Especially not with such a brazen ferocity.

Drew has been through a lot of difficult personal experiences. Even though he is weird, he is still a very real person with very real feelings. Drew knows first-hand what people are going through at the hands of the Canadian justice system. He knows all too well how it affects us all.

Drew has identified a number of major social problems. Some of these might seem isolated to certain segments of society. In reality, these problems are about as isolated as segments of a lake. Drop in a rock and see how isolated things really are. We cannot turn a blind eye to injustices simply because it isn’t happening in our own backyard. The injustices in the neighbour’s backyard affects us all eventually.

Drew has analyzed the infrastructures which make up our society. He takes an objective, intelligent, detailed, first-hand look at every single aspect of society. He looks at how it should be as it is written, looks at how it really is in practice and rethinks everything from scratch.

How many geniuses ranked in the top one percentile do you know of who have subsisted in the most marginalized strata of society, personally analyzing it with a genetically predisposed, devoted perseveration, ever-mindful of the penultimate goal to improve the world for all people? There is only one; he is the author of this book.

Social Preferences

Since when do you have to agree with people to defend them from injustice?

– Lillian Hellman

The author does not agree with many specific social behaviours that others feel are important. Meaning he does not wish to engage in them personally. The important thing is to recognize that diversity exists as a fact of life. It is not threatening our own existence or our own cultural choices.

Having plenty of diversity in a community is a protective mechanism to ensure that your own culture will be tolerated and accepted. There is no need to intervene to homogenize or sterilize a diverse group.

Even just observing someone’s personal consensual interactions is an invasion of privacy if you don’t have explicit permission. If you aren’t hurting anybody, then nobody has the right to be aware of what you are doing in your own bedroom, let alone by creeped out by it or become involved in deciding what you should or should not do or how it is to be done.

Humility brings a realization that we are all fallible. Nobody can dictate the one true ideology. Different people have a variety of diverse cultural norms which are agreed upon by groups of consenting adults.

The author has no specific interest in being involved with many of Earth’s various cultures and idiosyncratic behaviours. He will nevertheless fight to the bitter end to protect the right for consenting adults to engage in mutually agreeable conduct.

As long as nobody is hurt in the process. It shouldn’t matter how strange or alien the activities may seem.

Unwritten Rules

There are countless unwritten rules. Some of the rules that are written aren’t followed. Being autistic means that Drew has been particularly confused and irritated by these implicit social infrastructures that are accepted as normal. Beyond mere nuisance, the lack of clarity enables nefarious abuse and corruption to damage our communities.

Drew feels like the written law should be the law that is actually followed. Clearly this isn’t the case all the time. That is lying. Drew dislikes lying, especially by his own government.

Many laws are out of date because implementation details have changed or deviated from the way it was originally written. Technology has changed dramatically, so there are optimizations which should be made to apply these wonderful tools. Nobody has taken the time to do a thorough systemic analysis to adapt the old scrolls to our new methods and technology.

Drew recognizes that particularistic approaches have implicitly evolved out of necessity. For the most part, things have adapted and are now working fine under their current conventions. Yet the written law hasn’t been updated. Rather than take an irrational authoritarian approach to coerce people to obey the law as it is written, the abiding “free market” approach is best where people are allowed to behave how they currently do. The law therefore needs to be updated to accurately describe how the world actually works in practice.

Changes Needed

There is a time for departure even when there’s no certain place to go

– Tennessee Williams

Some specific social changes are needed as soon as possible. Generally, in the long run, periodic upgrades and improvements will help stay up to date with how people really operate. A feedback loop reinforces confidence in the responsiveness of the sacred infrastructure.

In some cases our society needs to be reformed to reduce and prevent corruption and abuse of power. This can be done with a few key infrastructural changes. Chief among them is the division of police power into three independent groups.

We need to start adapting our social structures to the new environment and all of its modern technology before a big rock gets dropped into our pond and we sustain a terminal social disease. Terrorism is a symptom of a social disease of imbalance which can be cured. This book tells you how.

“If humanity is to endure, enlightened society is not a choice, but an eventual inevitability”

– The Kongma Sakyong II Jampal Trinley Dradül ^[1]

Humans are resourceful when push comes to shove. They will eventually figure it all out on their own, even if they don’t or won’t listen to the author of this publication.

Ideally the wisdom herein will be acknowledged sooner rather than later, to achieve the most benefit to humanity. Hopefully these words can seal a tribal rift.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity

Domestic Terrorism

The means matters because the end is the beginning.

– Drew McPherson 2013-4-16

hen we think of “domestic terrorism”, we think of foreign groups with peculiar foreign interests coming into our homeland and blowing things up. Sometimes they radicalize a domestic citizen to carry out their twisted gambits.

Nobody really wants to be a terrorist. Kids don’t grow up dreaming of the day they get to do a suicide bombing. Still, an unacceptable number of people are becoming desperate and susceptible to radicalization. Psychological well-being is suffering in the age of affluence. These are signs that something is out of equilibrium.

Information technology allows real life sociological adaptations to occur with lightning speed. Acknowledgement and acceptance into the social infrastructure would restore balance. But the monolithic legislature still chugs along like a bashful steamroller. The government cannot keep up. It has been outpaced by other factors, like psychological, environmental and technological transformations. They need a way to catch up; get current; get with the times.

More and more youth are being pushed into dark corners of the web because they are not accepted by their own government. This is where they are most vulnerable to radicalization by terrorists.

The war on terror is doomed to failure. Terrorism cannot be stifled with force. The means matters. The end is only the beginning. If we “end” terrorism by applying terrorist ideology against the perpetrators, we will begin our new terror-free society with a terrorist ideology at its core.

The end justifying the means is specious reasoning. If the means is not consistent with the end, you will never actually achieve it.

Train society to be violent and wage war in order to achieve victory over an enemy so that you can have peace. If you “win” you will be left with a bunch of people who are violent and have been trained to wage war. That’s not going to facilitate peace.

We need to wage PEACE on terror.

Applying empathy and compassion is the only way to counter vexation and hatred. You fight fire with water, not with more fire.

To extinguish the fire of terrorism before the fuse strikes a powder keg, we need to understand where it is coming from. Subtle factors promote the ideology, oftentimes inadvertently.

Like bad breath, ideology is evident in others, but we fail to notice our own offensive emissions.

Never for a minute did we think about the possibility that our own government might be applying a terrorist ideology domestically.

This chapter will give you a new perspective on the concept of domestic terrorism that will get you thinking. Our own government may be the worst perpetrator of all.

Terrorism Begins in the Backyard

Terrorism is a symptom of social unrest. A litmus test indicating that something is socially maladjusted in our world. The problem has been increasing at an alarming rate.

Nobody has any answer except to go to war. But unfettered violence is never going to work. A different approach besides brute force must be used to solve the terrorism problem.

You can’t just kill all of the terrorists, you have to change the ideology.

It would be like trying to get rid of an air bubble under the wallpaper by pushing on it really hard. You will flatten out the section you are pushing on, but the bubble is just going to move to a new location and may split off into two bubbles which makes it twice as hard to deal with.

We must deflate the root of the problem. First we have to know what that is. The foundations of terrorism may be closer than you realize.

To truly conquer the terrorism problem, we must have clean hands. We must look very carefully at our own domestic policies with a strictly critical and objective eye to see if we are actually empowering terrorists with our own ideology.

This will be a difficult exercise requiring insight and clarity without defensive ego. Coming to terms with reality could be especially difficult for politicians who feel they have something personal at stake.

Politicians with a legacy to uphold, beware. Stop reading now.

To proclaim the problem in an alarmist manner, Canada is technically a terrorist society according to the government’s own legal terminology.

Universalism: “The One True Doctrine”
(🕆🕈✠✡☪☯🕉☸)

The terrorism problem begins with a concept called universalism. Universalism is the social philosophy that dictates there must be one set of moral standards which apply to every single person in exactly the same way.

One of the best known examples of a Universalist doctrine is found in the biblical book of Exodus. The Ten Commandments inscribed on stone tablets brought down from the mountain by Moses are a classic example of a Universalist ideology.

The universal doctrine in most modern countries today is called the Criminal Code.

At first glance, universalism seems pretty simple and quite reasonable. Fair for everybody.

Any attempt to enforce a universal doctrine turns out to fit the definition of what is internationally recognized as being “terrorist activity”. This will be explored later in depth.

Domestic enforcement of the Criminal Code requires acts of domestic terrorism to be committed by the government. It is just one of the necessary evils involved in enforcing Universalism.

Universalism is an attempt to unilaterally enforce a centralized doctrine across a diverse population. Any real world implementation is highly discriminatory and intolerant. No “different strokes for different folks”. Everybody must comply with the universal doctrine. Even sub-communities that aren’t hurting anyone.

Universal ethics ends about a millimeter from one’s body

– Drew McPherson 2012

The law ends up being impossible to enforce completely. Even attempting to do so would require an impossible amount of resources. Corners must be cut. Holes appear. Corruption ensues.

This is similar to communism’s attempt to universally control markets. Communists thought the only fair way to set prices was to have the government micromanage a universal price for every single commodity and service. Boy were they wrong.

Universalists are just as wrong in terms of micromanaging every single person’s social interactions.

The practice of adopting a Universalist ideology is kind of like choosing an arbitrary description for the “one true religion” and enforcing it on everybody in violation of their constitutional rights. The ideology is then used to justify horrific systemic abuse of people.

America is the “land of the free [provided you do what you’re told]”.

The people who are subject to the social obligations in a Universalism did not sign up for any of it. There will always be a problem when a third party tries to intervene in and control the social interactions between two autonomous and capable entities. Let’s call this concept Interventionism.

Interventionism is Oppression

Interventionism is when a third party intervenes in the personal and social behaviours of capable, consenting adults.

“It was not the tycoons of big business, it was not the labor unions, it was not the working classes, it was the intellectuals who reversed the trend towards political freedom and revived the doctrines of the obstacle state, the totalitarian government rule, of the government’s right to control the lives of the citizens in any manner it pleases. This time, it was not in the name of the “divine right of kings,” but in the name of the divine right of the masses. The basic principle was the same: the right to enforce at the point of a gun the moral doctrines of whoever happens to seize control of the machinery of government.”

– Philosophy: Who needs It? Ayn Rand p. 82-83

Interventionist domestic terrorism is merely incidental to carrying out unilateral subjugation of unwilling parties to a social contract. A necessary evil. This particular type of social policy requires evil to enforce it. That should be a big clue to consider an alternative type of policy which accomplishes the same thing without the evil.

“Assassinate the greater and lesser of two evils”

-Kurt Cobain

Former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau warned of the dangers of interventionism. His point was made eloquently by stating that “the government has no business in the bedrooms of the nation”.

This is both metaphorical and literal. Micro-managing everybody’s social interactions, in the bedroom or otherwise is inappropriately intrusive. It is undemocratic. The government has no right to be an “intrudeau”. Nobody should have the right to intrude on another person. Even democratically decided intrusion is still offensive. Like a large group of people barging in on you when you’re in the bathroom. Claiming it is OK because they had a vote and agreed it was ok to violate you.

To intrude on the sanctity of private interactions is a destruction of privacy. Without privacy we cannot have democracy as we know it.

No individual or organization (government or otherwise) has any business interfering with the private activities of consenting adults. A universalistic code infringes upon this diamond standard by prohibiting capable adults from consenting to certain private activities.

Social behaviours between two or more people are inseparable from the implicit legal contract which encompasses them. Social interactions have utility, which is valuable consideration. The exact same process for regular contracts is used to negotiate and execute the contract.

With interventionism, the contracts are not decided by the people involved in the contract. The terms are decreed by the government. Interventionism is dictatorial.

If the government’s terms are violated, the justice “services” intervene and cause harm to one or more of the parties who were engaged in the offending behaviour. This is primarily to promote deterrence. Deterrence means to instill fear, to intimidate the public in order to ensure future compliance. Interventionism is intimidating.

Interventionism violates the key principles in the well-established doctrines of contract law. The most flagrant infringement is the fact that the social contracts are decided unilaterally, and by a third party no less. Interventionism is undemocratic.

In order to micromanage everyone’s personal, private social interactions, the government must have intelligence and investigative services to spy on people. Interventionism destroys privacy.

There will always be fringe groups that want to behave amongst themselves in peculiar ways. To fully enforce universalism, you’d have to spy on everybody all the time and intervene in consensual interactions, to put a stop to certain activities that are deemed illegal.

In some cases, this is appropriate when there is a vulnerable party like a child involved. In other cases, homosexuals are put to death for consensual behaviours in their own bedrooms. This is done in the name of “justice” in certain countries. Even in Canada, as of 2018, anal intercourse is still illegal under section 159 of the Criminal Code.

Interventionism is the reason why people fear a world government. They rightly worry that a centralized Universalist government will destroy all diversity on planet earth. One of the most vital aspects of sustainable equilist infrastructure is the protection of diversity. Diversity is what creates balance and sustainability as any ecologist knows. Interventionism destroys diversity.

The cultural social understanding of these problems have been suppressed through misinformation and propaganda. It is technically a conspiracy, but it is not intentional misguidance of the public. The people promoting, facilitating and implementing interventionism are just as brainwashed as those they are affecting.

Advocates for interventionism are well-intentioned, responsible, mature, compassionate people. They merely lack some vital information about the big picture repercussions. The so-called tertiary victims of these policies would be aptly called victims of domestic terrorism. The facilitators are inadvertently victimizing themselves too as well as the people they aim to protect, yet they don’t even know it. Interventionism inadvertently re-victimizes the victims of crimes.

Most don’t even realize there is an alternative to interventionism apart from anarchy. This is propaganda’s fault again. Propaganda stifles inquiry into and promotion of alternatives. The natural and necessary social adaptation of civilization is stunted. A difficult cycle to break free of.

Objective Terrorism

When an organized group interferes forcefully in the activities of mutually consenting adults, we normally call that terrorism. This is especially so when it involves removing a person from his normal life and confining him against his will.

It is undeniably an act of terrorism when it involves torture. Solitary confinement has finally been internationally recognized as a brutal form of psychological torture. This is a standard form of punishment used on a daily basis in jails and prisons. Cruel yes, but certainly not unusual.

You don’t torment an ally and expect to be forgiven.

– Dark Elf Lord

If Al-Qaeda were to round up all of the people that had committed offences according to its laws and confined them, this would be rightly called an act of terrorism. In some cases, that is precisely what they are doing.

If anyone causes such widespread harm to a group of people in accordance with a written manifesto, or ideology, it is terrorism.

When government agents do it according to the written manifesto known as the Criminal Code, they are somehow exempted from receiving the proper label, terrorist. Their particular brand of terrorism is acceptable, while other groups who commit the exact same acts using identical justification are in the wrong.

The government is totally hypocritical in terms of declaring terrorist activity to be illegal while engaging in it routinely as a matter of core social policy. By the government’s own definitions, the police, judges, guards, and all justice system participants are in fact members of a terrorist group.

When a government does all of these things to its own citizens, we call it “justice”. We never think twice about the various groups operating under the auspices of the criminal justice system. We should call this what it is. In fact, let’s use the Canadian government’s own definitions.

The set of bureaucracies comprising Canada’s criminal justice system each fit the definition of a “terrorist group” according to the Criminal Code. This obviously requires closer objective inspection.

Criminal Code Definitions

Terrorist activity and terrorist group are defined under section 83.01 of the Criminal Code of Canada. Other countries have similar definitions in their versions of the Criminal Code.

Criminal Code Analysis

Here is a brief thought experiment. Consider whether the act of imprisoning addicts for possession of drugs satisfies any of the criteria for terrorist activity as defined in the Criminal Code. Relevant excerpts from the legislative definition follows:

in whole or in part for a political, religious or ideological purpose, objective or cause
- The purpose is to enforce the legislative policy set out in the Criminal Code. That is by definition political. The policy is based upon an ideology, as all policies are. The idea in this specific thought experiment is that substance abuse should be stopped, that addicts should not use drugs.
in whole or in part with the intention of intimidating the public, or a segment of the public,
- Deterrence is a key part of enforcement of the Criminal Code. Deterrence does not deter anything unless it is intimidating. The public is certainly intimidated by the prospect of being jailed and having a criminal record. This is especially so for the segment of the public which is addicted to a substance.
with regard to its security,
- Knowing that you could be violently restrained and imprisoned in a dangerous place is intimidating with regards to one’s security.
including its economic security,
- Economic security cannot be maintained if you are locked up in prison.
or compelling a person, a government or a domestic or an international organization to do or to refrain from doing any act
- The whole point is to compel people to refrain from doing acts described in the Criminal Code, in this case, possessing a particular substance.
that intentionally
- Intention is described in case law as being different from purpose. Purpose is the end goal. Intention is the ability to foresee consequences of the act, no matter the purpose of it. For instance, the purpose of locking addicts up in jail is to help them to recover from their addiction and to protect the public from their unpredictable behaviours. It is quite foreseeable that they are going to be severely harmed and endangered by this form of treatment. So the harm caused is intentional, even though it is not the purpose.
causes death or serious bodily harm to a person by the use of violence,
- It is certainly a violent act to arrest and imprison someone and there is a great deal of death and serious bodily harm caused by imprisonment. Even if you lock him away for his safety in solitary confinement, this has been shown to cause serious permanent neurological harm.
endangers a person’s life,
- Lives are endangered in prison. Go there and find out for yourself if you don’t believe this. Again, it is clearly not the purpose, but it is intentional.
causes a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or any segment of the public,
- The relevant segment of the public is people who suffer from addiction. Being imprisoned is not healthy or safe, especially in solitary confinement or in a dangerous maximum security area.

Legal Simplification

The legal definition is verbose and sounds overly complicated. It can be summarized as follows:

“Terrorist activity” includes any behaviour which results in causing economic, psychological or physical harm to a group of people for religious, ideological or political reasons.

“Terrorist group” means a group which engages in or facilitates terrorist activity.

The group which discharges the policy requirements of the Criminal Code inflicts all of these harms. In fact, the criminal justice system does not have any other option besides causing harm to the group of people accused of Criminal Code violations. The Criminal Code is a politically enacted legislation. Taking action because of politically legislated requirements is by definition a political reason. The laws are, of course, based upon a particular ideology which gave rise to the policies. All criteria are satisfied by definition.

Therefore, any organization involved in facilitating any aspect of the criminal justice system is by definition a “terrorist group”. All people who are involved in this, whether on the payroll or not, are according to the legal definition, members of the terrorist group.

If you are involved in any aspect of this activity or are employed by any of the various justice groups which carry out this activity, then you are in fact a terrorist. This is by the government’s own definitions.

If you receive a government cheque for carrying out these acts, then you are a state-sponsored domestic terrorist.

Now you know it. Consider yourself lucky. The Nazis didn’t have the benefit of this kind of foresight during the holocaust. Except maybe Schindler.

It makes sense when you think about it objectively. If some individual or group went around and kidnapped all the people who did things that they did not approve of, and put the kidnap victims into cages for punishment, that would quite clearly be an act of terrorism.

Yet when the government does it, it is supposed to be ok.

Instilling Empathy, Taken Too Far

The root purpose of domestic terrorism, sometimes referred to as corrections, is simply to enforce universalism. This occurs by drilling in empathy and deterring violations of the ideology. The core principles are sound – to a degree. The golden rule. Do unto others as you’d have done unto you.

Deterrence activates the punishment system in the mind. Instills empathy for how someone is treating others. The flaw is that it fails to account for diversity. Maybe someone wants to be treated differently than the norm. No amount of deterrence or correction can rewire someone’s brain to overcome physiological limitations.

Problems occur when there is a lack of clear communication and understanding across the diversity gap. The problem escalates into a holocaust when those who are commissioned to be the empathy bringers, are given too much power. In Germany they were called Sturm Abteilung, or Storm Troopers. Today they are called Police.

Hence the autism holocaust.

Things only get worse when the victims of the irreconcilable torture learn by example and apply the golden rule back at the benefactors of this correction. Organized groups can radicalize someone in this predicament and take it to the extreme, by blowing up a bunch of people. This requires further retaliation from the other side by creating more prisons and using solitary confinement.

Just because a person receives a “fair trial” does not mean that it is then ok to commit acts of terrorism or social destruction. The means will always be “fair” by somebody’s standard. All terror groups across the world feel that their methods are fair and just.

Hurting someone who causes harm is not a justification for terrorism. Governments act as though this is an acceptable ideology. For instance, some terror groups cut off the hands of a thief. They feel that their process is fair, and they feel that their acts are justified because of who they choose as their targets.

Just because Canada doesn’t cut off people’s hands, does not make the acts of terrorism of the Canadian state any less severe. Solitary confinement is a standard terrorist torture technique used in Canada. Years of solitary confinement can be a worse torture than anything physical. Yet this is perfectly legal and normal in Canada. Cruelty is not okay just because it is made usual.

You can’t claim to be against terrorism and then hypocritically carry out or support acts of terror yourself. The means does not justify the end. In fact, the means is an end in itself. If the victims of Canada’s domestic terrorism deserve it, then so too must the victims of any terrorist group.

A quote from convicted terrorist Omar Khadr puts this into perspective. He says “when you grow up in an environment where these things [terrorism] are normal, you just do them; you don’t think about them or the morality of them.”

It is easy to forget that our own government is carrying out acts of terrorism on a daily basis. We have all been taught that this is normal. Nobody has ever really stopped to question it. If we are ever going to successfully tackle the global terrorism problem, we have to start by looking in our own backyards and be sure of what is happening there first.

Social media editor Elamine Murer(sic?) says “it upsets me that terrorists have rights.”

This attitude is exactly what results in people on the opposite side carrying out horrific acts against us. As odd as it sounds, we need to empathize with the terrorists. Terrorists are people too. They almost certainly have the same attitude as Elamine Murer, except to them, we are the terrorists. We cannot expect to erase this attitude from others if we ourselves are holding it dear.

An ideology cannot be killed. You can kill people who adhere to the ideology, but the seed that developed into that ideology will always radicalize new people, just as it originally did.

You can’t just kill all the terrorists, you have to change the ideology. That begins at home.

Imagine if the government admitted openly that they had been ham-handedly wreaking terror-filled havoc. That they had seen the error of their ways and were shifting to a terror-free methodology. This is what was done after World War II.

Nuclear weapons are recognized as the offensive tools of total global destruction that they are. Bombs of malevolent proportion. If even one nation were to use such a device, then so will others until escalation to global apocalypse. This was easily foreseeable when the first mushroom cloud was televised.

It would obviously be pointless to criticize a country like Iran or North Korea for using nuclear weapons if America were busy dropping nukes. Yet this is exactly what America does when it complains about terrorism while using the exact same tactics on its own people every single day.

It is much harder to foresee the consequences of the mushroom cloud of terror inside a person’s mind, though the effect is just as devastating as any weapon of mass destruction.

Drug Wars and Prohibition

The insidious destruction which is characteristic of terror ideology becomes particularly evident in the drug war.

Long ago was discovered the hard way, that prohibiting alcohol paradoxically causes social destruction. Now the same lesson is learned about cannabis prohibition causing similar damages. Déjà vu. A pattern emerges.

By interfering, by committing acts of terrorism, it drives the behaviour underground. There, it is difficult to do harm reduction and difficult to provide unbiased public education. A black market emerges which funnels profits into organized crime. All sorts of violent consequences ensue from prohibition. Prohibition makes the activity far more dangerous than it would otherwise be.

Taxpayer dollars are spent to terrorize people who have a medical condition which causes them to be addicts. The money goes towards exacerbating social harms, rather than subsidizing education campaigns and treatment programs to minimize the harm.

Prohibition endangers vulnerable parties such as children by providing them with unregulated access to drugs. Underground drug dealers don’t check for ID to confirm the age of consent.

Universally prohibiting activities results in more harm being done than there otherwise would be.

Fear of change flourishes amidst the prohibition propaganda. The prohibition paradox is poorly understood among the public. There is an unspoken implication that anarchy and chaos is the only alternative.

Prohibition ideology steals your personal democratic freedom. Prohibition is a condescending, narrow minded interventionist approach. Well-meaning maybe, but demeaning too. Consenting adults deserve respect, not dictatorship.

Capable individuals who are well-informed can be trusted to decide what types of social behaviours they wish to engage in. Individuals can be educated and granted the democratic freedom to make informed choices for themselves.

Beyond drugs, the prohibition of consensual activities causes the same paradoxical devastation. Anyone can find like-minded people using anonymous internet mechanisms and engage covertly in mutually agreeable social behaviours. If the activity these consenting adults seek is universally outlawed, then it is forced into a black market.

The hard lesson learned twice over from prohibition is that it causes more harm than good. Black markets create personal and social problems which ultimately spill over into society. This has been shown to exacerbate otherwise manageable harms, increasing the cost to society, and putting lives needlessly at risk.

There is actually a much more ethical option besides prohibition to engage the issue of substance abuse. It is more effective and cost efficient too. It also takes into account the need to protect vulnerable parties.

Prohibition abolition is the first step to reduce and mitigate potentially harmful activities. A troika adorned with legalization, regulation and education is the optimal strategy to protect against the ills of such deeds as drug abuse.

This is a general rule for all consensual and potentially destructive behaviours. Draconian tactics simply don’t work.

So many lives could be saved and so much pain could be avoided by immediately initiating the shift towards the next generation of social policy by facilitating free-market social contracts. This is detailed in Chapter 3 – Social Contracts.

Ignorance and Apathy: The Substrate of Terror

Choosing to remain silent while hatred stews is complicity in its most cowardly form

— Justin Trudeau 2019-3-18

Lots of people worked for the Nazi regime in Germany. It wouldn’t have been possible without them. Most Germans did not hold any personal ideological beliefs which would be considered terrorist in nature. Still, the fact that their efforts were contributing to a regime which carried out terrorist activity makes them responsible.

Ignorance is not an excuse. “I was just following orders” is a classic cop-out. Everyone empathizes with the fact that they need a paycheck, but think about the other perspective, like if the situations were reversed. There can rationally be no sympathy for a terrorist whom is mindlessly carrying out malevolent acts just to make a buck.

The most successful terrorists trick you into thinking they are the good guys. This is what happened in Nazi Germany. All German citizens thought the Nazi storm troopers were the good guys. It is exactly what is happening today in every society whose rules are based on a universal ideology and are enforced in an interventionist manner. By making the legal definitions big and long and complicated and boring, nobody takes the time to actually understand the meaning and put it contextually into the bigger picture.

A psychological phenomenon exists whereby kidnap and hostage victims identify with and protect their captors after prolonged exposure. This is called Stockholm syndrome. It is a real phenomenon that occurs. Many prison inmates are likely suffering from this condition. All members of the public, even those who are not in prison, are prisoners of Universalism and probably fit the criteria for this syndrome.

In a Terrorism, the unit of currency is terror. This is what is meant by the term “deterrence”. It is necessary to control people, to compel unnatural behaviour. The use of violence and intimidation is how terrorism achieves its goals. Using these tactics to enforce a single-minded ideology is exactly what politicians claim to oppose. Yet who is not intimidated by the idea of being confined in a domestic prison and having a criminal record even if you get out some day?

One’s psychological well-being is severely affected by simply living in a society which uses terrorist intimidation tactics like deterrence.

World War III: The Ideology War

The constant violent tumult seen on every news channel every day might as well be called World War III.

In the information age, World War III is the war of ideologies. It is being waged on the internet on a daily basis, radicalizing people to commit acts of domestic terrorism.

“Ideology will outlast whatever physical stake they have been able to carve out”

– TV documentary

The sides in this war are not geographical. They are ideological. The front lines are not drawn on a map of the earth. They are inside our minds and our hearts. This is a world war because it touches every single person to some degree.

The aggressors on one side are terrorists, and the aggressors on the other side are also terrorists. Realizing this paradox is a necessary first step to ending the war.

Canada’s government has no moral right to violently interfere with the private citizen’s capable and consenting social interactions. The terrorists on the other side have no right to fly planes into buildings or drive cars through crowds of people. Nobody has any right to carry out an autism holocaust.

During the last world war, the two sides were both malevolent in their own ways. Nazi Germany wanted to violently interfere with the rest of the world’s social infrastructure and bring about the Jewish holocaust. This was so obviously offensive that it spawned World War II. But Canada was enacting its own Japanese holocaust which has remained obscure because they “won” that war.

Now we are in the midst of World War III which is caused by the exact same interventionist, diversiphobic dogma. This war is disguised as though it is a part of daily life, as if it is normal. It is not normal! Nobody insinuates it is a “world war”, yet people are suffering the same effects of being in a war zone with all the stresses and the tactics being deployed.

The battle wages on, inside people’s hearts and minds every day.

Propaganda, manipulation, advertising, marketing, information, misinformation, “fake news”, indoctrination. Conventional weaponry is used to bombard the enemy, to keep him subdued in the back corners of the mind.

Desperation, persecution, dissatisfaction, unfairness, injustice, violation, encroachment, disrespect. He is able to advance forward, to radicalize the battlefield within an individual.

The internet has connected people in a manner that makes the end to universalism and interventionism inevitable. The new symbiot on earth endows humankind with such immense power and connectivity. I refer of course to silicon-based life forms.

Machines, computers, the intelligent devices which cannot survive without us and equally now, we cannot survive without them. The possibilities are endless. People are less individuals now, but a collective.

When like-minded people can congregate freely and anonymously, it threatens Universalism in all its forms. It weakens the ability for a third party to universally control people’s behaviour from afar. This is especially so if the congregation does not need a physical location. It can happen inside a person’s symbiotic mind-machine link through the collective. Anywhere. Any time. Instantly.

If a mass movement rises up with people disrespecting the Universalist behavioural code then the government becomes powerless to enforce it, out of sheer numbers. We’ve seen this with drug prohibition recently.

In some parts of the world, like China, the ideology war has escalated with the attempted destruction of free information. Content is micro-managed by means of strict control of information technology. This is a knee-jerk totalitarian response to the ostensible threat of information proliferation. This is unsustainable. Orwell’s Nineteen-eighty Four would be hard enough to implement against regular people. Against the symbiotic human-machine collective there is no hope.

Picking sides in a terrorist-versus-terrorist battle just makes one a terrorist. Unearthing sufficient wisdom to empathize without engaging in battle is a lot harder.

The destructive dance can continue until Armageddon if we let it. We are at an impasse. To end the war, we need a new weapon.

The weapon is tolerance. Unconventional as it may be, it is impervious to conventional defences. It is orders of magnitude more powerful than any propaganda. It instills a personal satisfaction that is indestructible. All previous armaments and tactics used in the ideology war are no match for tolerance.

With tolerance in their scabbards, equilist citizens are the protectors of the long-term social principles which support each person’s right to autonomous ideological choice. This immediately disarms terrorists because the society itself is designed to protect their way of life. Attacking an equilist community is the same as attacking yourself and your own ideology.

This is what visionaries of the past tried to explain, like Mahatma Gandhi or Jesus Christ. They were mistaken for helpless pacifists. In actuality, they were warriors of the mind. Trying to introduce this unconventional weaponry of tolerance that the world was not yet ready for.

It has become imperative for the world to finally assimilate these concepts. To incorporate tolerance into every single aspect of daily life.

Tolerance trumps ideology by making the particulars of any one ideology completely irrelevant. By unplugging from the battlefield, we transcend the whole conflict. The more people who do this, the less power the terrorists have to engage their tactics.

Weaponized tolerance will win the ideology war. It is now just a matter of who discovers how to mass-produce it first. To harness the power of acceptance and apply it to all ideologies. Non-duality at its finest. The true weapon to end all wars finally.

In the wake of World War III, a new judicial regulatory framework will be fundamentally necessary. Such an alternative does in fact exist.

The unconstrained flow of data across a machine collective is not a threat, but an opportunity. The information age has enabled a new legal paradigm to be viable. This is called social contracts. It doesn’t require adoption of other ways of life, but merely the acceptance of their existence. Tolerance.

Equilism is concentrated tolerance. Fighting against equilism would be to fight against oneself. Confucious says “man who fights himself, loses”. The equilism framework accepts, accommodates, encapsulates and accounts for the diversity of all ideologies. Equilism is the one ideology to rule them all.

Equilism wins the war on terror because it is the only ideology which is not a terrorist ideology according to the internationally accepted definition of terrorism.

You may be an Equilist and not even know it!

Justice is Blind and D.A.F.T.

usice is supposed to work the same for everyone. It should be equally accessible to all. The old adage “justice is blind” was meant to refer to the unbiased impartiality the justice system was designed to embody. Whether you are male or female, rich or poor, black or white, neurotypical or autistic, justice is not supposed to see these things. Everybody is supposed to get the same justice, no matter who you are. Except that doesn’t happen in practice. The only thing justice is blind to is the inequality, inaccessibility, and unfairness in the justice system.

For certain classes of people, usually minorities, the facilitators of the justice system discriminate, just like the rest of society does. Having a lower wage and corresponding standard of living because your employer discriminates, is not tolerable. Not being taken seriously when a major crime is committed against you because a police officer discriminates, is not survivable.

To some severely marginalized people, police are not helpful figureheads who protect and serve. In extreme cases a minority who is caught surviving a violent crime might be thrown in jail and denied medical care for his wounds.^[2] No matter how badly victimized he may be, an ensuing encounter with police will always make it worse. For certain people, police are like the Nazi SA during the holocaust. Just like the Jewish holocaust, these marginalized individuals may not be bad people at all.^[3] Viewed through neo-holocaust victim’s eyes, police are essentially members of a terror group.

Referring to a terror group by a more euphemistic name does not change the fact that it is what it is, and it does what it does. Euphemisms can be confusing to the oblivious onlooker. Considering that we have determined the justice system groups do meet the criteria for being bona fide terrorist groups, we might as well call them by an appropriate moniker. The Domestic Agency For Terrorism seems to fit. DAFT for short.

As currently structured, police are a terrorist group by their own definitions. The criminal code section dealing with terrorism offences, CC 83.01, briefly defines “terrorist activity” as the act of causing economic, psychological or physical harm to a group of people for political, ideological or religious reasons. The criminal justice system causes exactly this kind of harm to groups of people on a daily basis as is written policy. That’s a political reason.

It has recently become internationally recognized that segregation is a form of psychological torture. While incarcerated or under strict conditions and with the black mark of a criminal record a person is loath to achieve economic prosperity. Obviously the incidence of physical harm inside the prison system is significantly higher than in the general public. All of the ingredients for “terrorist activity” are the very definition of the criminal justice system.

By its own definitions, a “justice system participant” is synonymous with a member of a “terrorist group”.

Let’s just call them the Dometic Agency For Terrorism from now on, DAFT for short.

Omnipotence Breeds Corruption

It’s not who you know, it’s who you are able to control

It is sad to use the cliché, but it is cliché because it is true: power corrupts. The founding fathers of America divided political power between three branches because they knew you cannot trust people with power. The same kind of division needs to be done with police power.

Nobody should ever be given the kind of omnipotent power that police have today. It is patently foolish to expect this kind of unmetered influence to be used in a balanced way. Yet we expect these unchecked totalitarian civil authorities to behave wisely with restraint. Then we give them guns. This notion has to be one of the stupidest ideas mankind has ever dreamed up.

The obviousness of the truth is becoming more apparent with the proliferation of video recording technology to witness unimaginable abuses of police power.

(VERIFY)Police who score too high on the IQ test are denied entry to the force. This is because most police work is so boring that an intelligent person will become bored and start causing problems. The kinds of problems that can be caused when a bored genius has such massive social power are severe.

The full scope of the problem is becoming apparent only now, to affluent members of society. This is due to the proliferation of video recording technology. Without seeing video footage of these atrocities, nobody would believe it possible in our civilized culture. Abuses of police power are so commonplace in certain demographics that confidence in the justice system has eroded so badly that some people feel the need to do extreme demonstrations of violence to denounce the behaviour of the DAFT.

Things should never have gotten this bad. There is a better way, but it requires accepting the fact that we now have a serious problem and being open to solutions which may seem novel in the western world.

Canada changed the military’s symbolic role from mighty harbinger of death to benevolent peacekeeper. So too can we change the role of the DAFT to be domestic peacekeepers as they were always intended to be.

The “system” is not the problem. The system is just an idea, an infrastructure. It’s the people that are the problem.

– Drew McPherson 2014-5-26

The system merely needs to take into account the type of people that humans are, so that it skirts around any corruption tendencies. For police, by splitting power and reducing the power that one person can hold.

The first step in the solution is to remove the omnipotence.

The Judicial Blacklist

The DAFT have an implicit and secret ranking of people based on the information they see in their police database. This vital information resource is not transparent, not subject to audits and contains large amounts of misinformation which can be dangerous.

Whenever a complainant comes to the police, they look him up in the database to see if he is a “bad person” according to their secret files. Halifax Police are notoriously known for doing this.^[4] If the complainant is “known” to them, in other words, if they have ever been charged with anything, then the police will not accept complaints from this person.^[5] These people are blacklisted. They will sooner throw the victim in jail, making up an excuse to do so if necessary. If the victim is injured, she might die in custody after seeking help from police.^[6] People have actually died from the Halifax police doing this exact same thing to them.

It doesn’t matter if the blacklisted person doesn’t even have a criminal record. If she has ever been arrested, then she is ineligible for any form of help from police.^[7] She must try to escape the scene of an incident if she has been victimized, for fear that if police show up, they may aggravate the injury, or if it was an attempted murder, they may just finish off the job.^[8]

Trying to get recourse for this is utterly hopeless considering the sheer magnitude of power they have. In real life, David rarely wins against Goliath, especially when Goliath is an omnipotent government sanctioned domestic terror group; DAFT.

You would not believe this possible in Canada. So many of the public are currently in the dark. We are fed stories about how criminals are just evil people and deserve nothing but torture and death. The truth is, this could happen to anyone.^[9]

Having a criminal record is like being put on a nationwide blacklist. It can be extremely stifling to try to live one’s life normally after being labelled a “criminal”. This is a social equivalent to the Borderline Personality Disorder where individuals are seen as either all good or all bad, even though the reality is always shades of grey. Having a criminal record means you are all bad and are often treated as such. This can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The likelihood of becoming blacklisted by the justice system is dependent not so much upon one’s behaviour, but more upon his social status, race, family background and other prejudicial factors.

Once you have been marked as “bad”, you will find that you have far fewer rights than you once expected to have. Whenever there is an incident, if you are anywhere nearby, you will be automatically targeted to take the blame, even if you are the victim. This makes it harder for minorities to feel safe in a DAFT society.

Regulatory agencies of all forms will mishandle and sometimes not even respond to formal complaints made by someone who is deemed a criminal.^[10] For example, the College of Physicians in New Brunswick refuses to even respond to complaints from inmates, even if a physician has committed horrific acts of malicious and brutal medical torture.^[11] If a physician were to do this to a person on the street, he would be fired and possibly criminally charged. This is unfair discrimination and it exacerbates problems by creating a downward spiral, leaving an aggrieved inmate with no option for recourse besides violence, simply because he has a criminal record.

This is a serious problem in society which prevents legitimate problems from being addressed by pro-social means. It doesn’t matter how credible the person is in actual fact or how legitimate the complaint is. People who are labelled criminals by the justice system are not ever taken seriously. This encourages successful sociopaths, such as serial killer nurses^[12], to criminalize their victims. People often abuse the justice system with false reports and perjury^[13], so that they can continue their crime spree undaunted, especially against those who are known to be blacklisted.

The Better Business Bureau will refuse to take a complaint from a prison inmate.^[14] They will claim insufficient information was provided, regardless of how very clear the complaint is and regardless of whether you have provided all the details they require.

This is extremely dangerous because people can and have been killed by acts of misconduct or even brutal violence committed by an authority figure against a prisoner. If the prisoner uses self-defence and survives, then he is usually charged with a criminal offence. This completely mischaracterizes his behaviour, thrusting him deeper into the blacklist. It also has the effect of covering up the misconduct committed by the authority figure.

The media plays a huge role in defaming, dehumanizing and silencing those who are subjected to judicial abuses.

Once a particular accused has been blacklisted and totally destroyed by the criminal justice system and no longer has anything left to lose, he might rightly acknowledge that the justice system participants are in fact domestic terrorists and he may in fact launch a counter-terrorism strike against them as is his ethical civic duty to the sacred establishment. This is a serious problem that has been occurring more and more in recent years.

We can prevent cops from being targeted and killed by changing their role in society.

The social group consisting of participants in the criminal justice system might better be described as a Domestic Agency For Terrorism (DAFT). This is related to the core cause of all of the so-called “terrorist attacks” which in the eyes of the perpetrators are actually counter-terrorism measures. Empathizing with this is the most difficult thing to get your mind around.

A verdict of “not guilty” isn’t the same as being found innocent. In fact, it simply makes it look like the defendant successfully got away with committing the crime. This goes into the police database and can have severely adverse effects if he ever encounters a police officer again. So really the justice system is not “innocent until proven guilty”. It is not even “guilty until proven innocent”. It is more like “guilty even after proven innocent”, perhaps “guilty especially after proven innocent”. We can solve this by not having pre-defined sides in a court proceeding. Valid verdicts can determine any or all of the parties to be a victim.

Selective Enforcement

A criminal is a person with predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital to form a corporation.

– Howard Scott

Police will only enforce laws if certain people make a complaint and ignore the complaints of others, depending upon what they find in their opaque police database. For instance, if a person who has a criminal record is assaulted by a person without a criminal record, the police will not press charges against the perpetrator. Likewise, anyone who steals from a criminal is safe from prosecution. You can even commit a murder against someone and get away with it, even if that person doesn’t have a criminal record, just as long as he has been charged in the past^[15], or is “known to police”. Worse still, if the crime is reported, the police will throw the victim in jail, assuming he is still alive, if he has ever had contact with the law previously.^[16] While sitting in a jail cell you will most likely be denied any medical treatment you may need. People have died on far too many occasions because of being put into a cell “for their own protection”.

People who try to control others are usually called bullies. With our current justice system, bullies can easily misuse and abuse it by making accusations against their victims. This is especially effective if they target specific victims who have a criminal record. This is how serial killers get easily away with horrific crimes against humanity, such as by targeting prostitutes in Vancouver^[17], or drunks in Halifax. Sociopaths in power who are forced to have empathy for their victims tend to charge that victim with threats for communicating their pain.^[18]

The core principle of the equlist system is to only control bullies and to ensure that everyone is being honest about their own social ethics contract.

This is not acceptable, however, because to have laws on the books that are not followed in actual practice completely contravenes the core principles of democracy.

The crown lawyers get to pick and choose their judge.^[19] The Attorney General lawyers for the government are very experienced at abusing the process in order to shut down any civil complaints and even block your ability to ever file another civil action with the court.^[20] They will even go so far as to spin it around and accuse the complainant of abusing the process all as part of their abuse of the process.^[21]

The kind of arbitrary enforcement of the law described in the previous chapter won’t happen in the equilist justice system. We will remove the power to pursue justice from the police and put it into the hands of the victims. In the case of victims who do not have the capacity to make these decisions, there will be a department whose sole purpose is to be the voice for these protected parties.

The highly successful Portuguese model for harm-reduction will be used by repealing prohibition once and for all. It should have been obvious in the 1930s that prohibition only exacerbates harm and creates a lucrative black market. Since the black market is unregulated, children have easy access to harmful substances. For some reason, politicians refuse to accept this obvious reality and will only repeal a specific prohibition on a specific substance when the harms caused by the prohibition and the black market become so enormous that it threatens to shatter our whole society. Equilism aims to learn from mistakes like this in the past and proactively apply that knowledge to prevention of similar problems.

Image Shouldn’t be Everything

“The truth and principles must always come first”

–Jody Wilson-Raybould 2019-4-3

In every professional discipline, the people who make important and especially life-changing decisions are required to have a good working knowledge of the field in question.

You would think that knowledge of the justice system would be an important asset for the heavy task of serving on a jury.

This is not so in the justice system. In fact, it is paradoxically the reverse. Anybody with any experience or knowledge of the justice system is automatically exempted from serving on any jury.

The courts categorically assert that they need to be “seen to be doing justice” in the public eye, in the media.

Whether the courts are actually doing justice or not is completely irrelevant. It is impossible to be doing actual justice when one is admittedly concerned with the appearance of doing justice.

Upon critical examination, the fact that the judiciary is concerned only with the appearance of fairness and the appearance of justice makes it appear that it does not genuinely care about actual fairness and justice.^[22]

This prevents the alternative social infrastructure from being considered by the public. It even prevents the acknowledgement that there exists an alternative.

The courts are nothing more than propaganda devices to make it appear to be socially acceptable to commit acts of domestic terrorism. Trials are basically fabricated drama productions to justify acts of terror. The DAFT would otherwise rightly be overthrown as the bona fide terrorist group that they are. Your taxes are paying to enable a terrorist group to maintain control of our society. They must do this by manipulating and lying to the public. This is expensive since the public has irrational faith only due to ignorance.

Anyone who has any experience with the justice system knows of this sordid skeleton in the closet. That is the reason they are perplexingly disallowed from jury duty.

This is why anyone who is “known to police” are blacklisted, marginalized and silenced. It is because the police are “known” to them. It is known how phony and fraudulent the trials are.

As long as people believe that 1+1 = 3, we can keep overcharging for justice which is only worth 2. Anyone who does the math and learns that the equation is wrong will be thrown into prison so that nobody will ever listen to him again.

What’s wrong with our justice system, when the only people who have faith in it are those who have ZERO experience with it?!

Once the public accepts that a certain category of crime is possible (eg: a priest committing sexual abuse, a man beating a woman), then there will always be a conviction when someone makes a similar categorical accusation. This strengthens the confirmation bias that the justice system is working.

If there is a propaganda reason to get a conviction, that is all that counts to the justice system. It doesn’t matter whether any particular accusation is true or not. It doesn’t matter if there is real evidence of it happening or not. It doesn’t matter if there is concrete proof that the allegation is false. That will be covered up.^[23] Any unknowns, any doubt gives the court a blank canvas to fill in any adverse inference they want to and crown & police can supply fabrications such as evidence and perjury to “prove” the adverse “fact” whether true or not.^[24]

A bias problem with police is that while they collect their evidence it is invariably slanted to make themselves look good and make the so-called “criminal” look bad. This is a serious problem which interferes with justice by distorting the truth to the level of unacceptable delusion.^[25] This discredits the justice system entirely. This is especially so when major wrongful convictions happen. This occurs far more often than anyone yet realizes.^[26]

Police, Sheriffs, Correctional Officers and other justice officials lie under oath more regularly than anyone even realizes.^[27] They will always manipulate their response in order to achieve the result they are looking for and in a shockingly large number of cases they even resort to blatant perjury.

Some crown prosecutors and attorneys general make up bold faced lies and present them as if they were fact.^[28] Some will destroy documentation and evidence. Others will intimidate witnesses or suppress anyone who has relevant information about the truth because it does not fit with the set of “facts” they want to “prove”. The prosecutor coaches witnesses who actually didn’t see anything to repeat the lie over and over again, so as to make it seem like truth.^[29]

Any reasonable person would see that there is no legitimacy to any aspect of the justice system as it currently stands. It is nothing more than a symbolic pacifier in the mouths of the ignorant public in order to trick them into not realizing they are living in a terrorist society which is controlled by an organization which has been appropriately dubbed the Domestic Agency For Terrorism (DAFT).^[30]

Even seemingly helpful organizations like the Innocence Foundation trick you into false confidence. They are presumed to be actively rooting out and resolving any injustices that may slip through the cracks. In actual fact, they barely handle any of them and generally only murder cases, and only when it serves some propaganda purpose for their own agenda.

Don’t be DAFT. Cops are trained liars. Some of them are killers. One of them was quoted at a school career talk in his youth, saying “I can’t wait to become a police officer so I can shoot some f-ing Indians”. Most of them abuse their power in unethical or blatantly illegal ways that most people would never notice. Consider the case of the missing drugs and money from the Halifax police evidence room.^[31] As appalling as this is, it is neither unusual nor is it an isolated incident. You can bet that the cops will be more careful from now on to keep it under wraps. So when you don’t hear about it again, that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. It just means they are being more careful to cover their tracks.

This has been happening far longer than most people are aware of. Anyone who finds out the truth is framed, defamed and put away for good. This is why anyone with any knowledge of the justice system is not allowed to be on a jury. With modern technology like video phones everywhere, some of this truth is now leaking out into the public eye.

This needs to be fixed before more innocents are killed by cops or have their lives destroyed to cover up their wrongdoing.

Nobody in society causes more harm than a judge of the criminal court. In fact, he does not even have the ability to do anything except cause harm. As explained earlier, the justice participants in the criminal justice system meet the definition of being a “terrorist group”. The judge’s job description is equivalent to the Criminal Code definition of “terrorist activity”.

Judges are in fact terrorists, but most people are too isolated from the harms they cause and have never really thought deep enough about it to fully comprehend this disturbing reality. Just consider the fact that criminal court judges do not have the authority to do anything besides cause harm to the defendant. They don’t have the authority, or “jurisdiction” to do anything even slightly helpful, not for the victim, not for anybody.

The victim is going to be harmed more by the process by having to bring up the trauma again and again. Then once it is all said and done, what good has come of it? The victim might be in an even worse position after a conviction because now the perpetrator has a reason to want to seek vengeance and the cycle repeats. How horrible.

The only thing the judge gets to decide is the amount of harm and destruction that will be caused. Criminal court judges have the capability only to be socially destructive. Even if the defendant is found “not guilty” he has still been harmed by the process because his name will always be associated with the charge and it is extremely stressful to go through the process, even if he was on bail.

Wrongful convictions happen more often than anyone realizes. Organizations like the Innocence Foundation do the public a great disservice by helping to undo injustices and then publicizing and promoting their efforts. The public believes that because such a group exists, there must be no injustices that remain unsolved. This is far from the truth and the Innocence Foundation has a duty of care to make this clear but they do not. Those who are wrongfully convicted and are highly credible are harmed the most because if you refuse to lie and say you did it, then they will never let you out.

These systemic problems have caused such enormous injustice throughout history.^[32]

Judicial Misconduct

Corruption is the misuse of public power or resources for personal or private reasons

– Drew McPherson 2015-12-16

Mindless sociopaths make the best lawyers because they are able to pursue the end result by any means without even being able to comprehend the horrific social harm they are doing. These people are so good that they get promoted to be judges.^[33]

Many judges noticeably enjoy causing these brutal harms. Looking objectively at their glee when they gloat about sending a person to be brutally tortured is in fact looking into the eyes of a sadistic psychopath. They are sadistic because they are enjoying the brutal harm they are causing and they are psychopathic because they do not have the ability to empathize with this harm since they have never experienced it themselves.

Psychopathic judges control our judiciary more than the public even knows. Some of them will put great efforts into manicuring their public image so that they appear to be good people.^[34]

Sociopathic lawyers and other “successful” psychopaths in society are very experienced at abusing the judicial process.^[35] This makes the justice system a tool in the armaments of evil. It is in absolute disrepute to the worst degree possible. The rates of abuse of process where a successful psychopath commits a crime against someone and then calls the cops to make a false report against the victim to get away with it is much higher than anyone knows.^[36]

While the written laws and regulations are not the least bit racist, the people who administer the laws and run the establishment are very susceptible to racist ideology. The discrimination goes far beyond problems with race.^[37]

Successful criminals pick their targets carefully, making sure to target minorities. They simultaneously engage the justice system in order to make a complaint against their victim. This repurposes the justice system as a mechanism to re-victimize the victim over and over again.^[38]

People in this post-religious era really have no incentive to aspire towards harmonious social conduct outside of threats by a corrupt criminal and civil justice system. Some even go so far as to get a degree in criminology so that they can better learn to behave anti-socially without getting caught and how to abuse the process. Oftentimes this involves provoking their victims into one inappropriate action or comment after they have fully victimized their target. With nothing to lose by doing this, and lots to gain, it is a severe and chronic failure of a society without belief in supernatural reward and punishment.

For a woman, “no” means “no”. For a man, “no” means suicide.

What a woman does when a man rejects her advances is a form of social rape. She tarnishes his reputation, ruins his social relationships and support system, sometimes abusing the politically corrupt justice system to amplify the harm. This way there can be no repair. At least when someone gets raped, there is support for the victim and there could be healing eventually. When a man says “no”, he receives permanent damage from the woman, which only gets worse with time. There is no recourse or restitution. A man does not have the right to say “no” to a woman for fear of having his life completely destroyed.

This is bad for women’s rights to have violent women abusing their power while abused women suffer. The few women who cry wolf and get caught in the lie make headlines which harms the credibility of the genuine victims. These few depraved females taint the entire women’s rights movement with an adverse brush.

In practice, any Universalist code usually turns out to be enforced only selectively when a complaint is made. But the problems are numerous. An individual may trick you into believing that certain activities are consensual and then make a complaint out of malice or blackmail. A third party may violate your privacy and make a complaint. It may be unclear what a person’s actual social code is and this can cause confusion, especially if an individual finds herself in a part of town not normally frequented by her type. Also, as has been seen regularly, there may be an activity which is clearly a violation of one’s person but does not fall under any of the various universalistic policy entries in the Criminal Code.

Police Abolition

The abolition of the police as we know it, is one of the most crucial steps to achieve a safer and more just society. This is actually a lot more sensible than it initially seems. The only thing that needs to happen is a slight infrastructural update to divide and reallocate responsibilities. All of the functions of police will still exist, but will no longer be concentrated into a single power-bloated individual of questionable integrity with daft intelligence. Also, we should change the colour of the uniforms from blue to red.

Split the responsibility and authority of police into three distinct parts.

The first group is the emergency responders. We already have these, but for some reason we call them firemen. These individuals must uphold the highest standard of integrity and ethics because they intervene in potentially life-or-death situations to save lives every day. Simply renaming them to emergency responders and expanding their duties to take over situations that would otherwise involve police is all that is needed. A regulation can be created to give the emergency responders a more authoritative level of control over turbulent situations.

Upon the arrival of the redshirts, all parties are immediately required to stop everything they are doing and wait for instructions from the redshirts and comply fully. Failure to do this would be a breach of the social contract between government and citizen. This, and taxes would be one of the very few entries in the government’s own social contract.

The second occupation to supersede universal police power is the evidence collector. These people will be totally independent of affiliation and have an ethical creed to seek the truth above all else.

Police, as they are organized today, don’t actually care about the law or about protecting the public or about anything pro-social. The only thing police care about is the perception of upholding the law, the perception of protecting and serving. They will spend billions of the taxpayers’ valuable resources in order to maintain this perception, even while carrying out a brutal holocaust.

The reason that crime doesn’t pay is because when it does, it’s called a more respectable name

– Laurence J. Peter

The justice system is in a permanent state of disrepute because it accepts the veracity of police testimony as credible. This is actually in contradiction to a well-established common law principle which states that any party who has an interest in the outcome of the proceeding is to have reduced credibility. The police clearly have an interest in the outcome of every proceeding. What good cop doesn’t want to see the bad guy punished? The image of the police is paramount in the mind of every single officer who goes on the stand and swears to tell the truth.

By separating the duty of evidence collection into a neutral government body whose mandate is to seek the truth above all else will solve this serious problem.

The final component of the new equilist justice system is the role of judicial administrators. These people will take information from individuals wishing to have recourse and will decide how to proceed. They will oversee and help explain the process to the participants without taking any sides.

It is a well-known scientific experimental fallacy to have one person taking on roles like this with significant conflict of interest. Bias is only naturally occurring in cases like this. That is why there are double-blind studies. We therefore need a triple-blind justice system, where none of the participants have their fingers into any of the other pies.

The emergency response redshirts will not have the authority to initiate any court proceedings. They will be for acute crisis control only. The evidence collectors will not be involved in laying any charges and so will not even know what the evidence they are collecting is to be used for. The judicial administrators will be the ones to coordinate the process.

Draconian attempts to control people are dated. This “eye for an eye” cycle makes the world go blind. So let us be rid of the domestic terrorists in blue uniforms.

Concentration Camps

An eye for an eye makes the world go blind

– Mahatma Gandhi

The draconian prison system keeps people with certain behaviours away from the public. Internally, prisons also separate individuals with incompatible behaviours. This ends up being very costly both economically and ethically. This method of achieving social accord is so lacking in compassion that it is quite accurate to call it a terrorist methodology. When an activity that is highly popular is outlawed, like drug use, then you get a significant portion of the population locked away more or less permanently, as we see in the United States today. There is certainly a better way.

Sometimes the harms caused by the justice system are quite lethal as Ashlee Smith and others have found out the hard way.^[39] Usually when a cop or correctional officer murders someone, they will use their fabricated medical-sounding diagnosis of “excited delirium” to explain away the death. This is what they did with Howard Hyde who was murdered in the Burnside jail by a fat guard who threw Howard to the ground and sat on him until he stopped breathing. Howard Hyde officially died of a “medical condition”. The video footage is publically available and you can watch this supposed “medical condition” unfold as the fat bastard correctional officer suffocates Mr. Hyde to death.

Matthew Hines was murdered by guards at Dorchester prison. If he had defended himself and lived, he would have been charged with a criminal offence. Once trapped in the terrorist justice system, one faces a life-or-death double-bind. Defend your life and be charged, having your life further ruined, or avoid charges and risk being murdered. If you act like a pacifist, you will be targeted by certain staff who are bullies^[40]. They are like wild animals. If you demonstrate that you are willing to use violence to defend yourself then they will leave you alone rather than risk personal injury. If you seem harmless, they will kill you.

Some unscrupulous sadists use the tired excuse of “just following orders” to justify doing harms far in excess of anything reasonable or sometimes even legally allowed.^[41]

Canada has a long history of concentration camps. Many do not even realize that from 1914 to 1920 Canada had internment camps for mostly Ukrainian and German immigrants during the world war. There were 24 camps holding 8579 men designated as “enemy aliens”. One of the largest, in Amherst, Nova Scotia, housed 853 men. There are exhibits periodically to educate the public about this sadistic practice in Canada’s history.

History repeats, even today.

Prison Abolition

Fear blinds one to the strange

– in reference to the holocaustic torture of fellow human beings which was accepted by German citizens

There will be no such thing as a traditional prison or jail in any equilist society. Confinement is torture. There is no practical purpose in torturing people. The enjoyment of torturing people is clearly counter-productive in any civilized society no matter how you dress it up. The modern criminal justice system is no different than the barbaric medieval methods but it is presented to the public in such a way as to appear legitimate. Behind the scenes, the things that happen in prisons can be just as bad as the stereotypical medieval torture chamber.

Jail is a walled anarchy. It reinforces lawlessness and violence.

“I’m just doing my job” means “I am being paid to behave badly”

– Drew McPherson 2013-4-28

Prison inmates and former inmates are so culturally undervalued that anyone can murder an inmate or former inmate and easily get away with it. In fact, even if the cops catch the killer red-handed, they will help to cover up the murder.^[42]

This is precisely what happened in Vancouver that enabled a serial killer to operate for years. The police were called to a hospital where both the serial killer and his surviving victim were being treated for injuries. The victim was a prostitute and her friend had been killed moments earlier in her presence by this man. The surviving prostitute got away by stabbing the serial killer. She still had a handcuff on one of her wrists that he was intending to use to bind her as he slowly and methodically took her life. The victim was lucky that the police did not charge her for assaulting the serial killer.

Prisons are an opaque milieu where the inmates are marginalized by definition and voiceless, being routinely ignored where any other person would be heard. There exists a deep-rooted culture of non-reporting of offences against inmates.^[43] This attracts the so-called successful psychopaths to take jobs there so that they can get away with all sorts of criminal offences that would otherwise result in repercussions.^[44]

If any inmate complains, there is a coordinated systemic abuse which rears its ugly head. This goes way beyond the mere bullying that happens in corporate culture.^[45]

You can clad me in orange, tuck me away in a dank cave that doesn’t see the light of day for months on end, deny all “privileges”, desecrate my human rights, but it does not tarnish the goodness within and only polishes the halo above

– Drew McPherson

Inmates are in a potentially lethal environment under normal circumstances. The guards who run the place have power that is absolute. Their word is taken as absolutely one hundred percent credible, especially in contrast with the inmate who will only be listened to if what he is saying can be used against him. Prison guards and police are actually less credible than average. This is probably because the profession attracts nefarious bullies who want to be able to abuse power. The sheer amount of practically unregulated, unmonitored power that police have is irresistible for most people to abuse it. Despite this, police and prison guards are perceived to be the most credible people.

There is no place for maturity in prison

eg: ignoring rumour lies, rising above staff abuse ) dangerous

so one must feign immaturity to survive

The abuse against a whistleblower can very easily escalate into homicide as many inmates have found out the hard way. There are a lot more murders than the ones you hear about in the news. Most of them are covered up with phony medical diagnoses like “excited delirium” that sound legitimate to the untrained ear. Attempted murders committed by guards are covered-up by charging the surviving victim.^[46] You can’t even report crimes against children from Canadian prisons.^[47]

In New Brunswick the College of Physicians and College of Registered Nurses is even worse. Inmates trying to make a complaint are not taken seriously, even about very serious offences, such as medical torture.^[48] The College refuse to even respond to any complaints made by a prisoner. This has resulted in a total lack of any oversight and so the staff have developed a culture of total disrespect for the patients. This actually resulted in the death of Matthew Hines in 2015. He had been brutally beaten by the guards, had a can of pepper spray emptied onto his face, and then had a towel put over his face and was thrown face-up into a shower while unconscious. The nurse was called to check him out but she just took one look at his battered body and didn’t even give a care, walking away to let him die.

If Hines had survived this, he would have been charged with a criminal offence to cover up the attempted murder.^[49] The only thing the jail authorities understand is violence and aggression. They prey on those who they thing are weak or who will not fight back.^[50]

The systemic discrimination by regulatory agencies such as the College of Physicians and Surgeons and the College of Registered Nurses means that inmates have no official legitimate recourse for misconduct committed by staff members. A lot of inmates then resort to violence in order to deter mistreatment by staff members. This actually works when nothing else will. It reinforces violent behavioural patterns which is the exact opposite of what prisons are supposed to be doing.^[51] If the use of violence is to be discouraged then we must provide and encourage the use of alternatives to resolve legitimate issues, not take those alternatives away.

If an inmate is suffering from a physical^[52] or mental health issue^[53], then he is likely to be ignored and not receive the treatment he requires unless his symptoms are acted out in an anti-social way.^[54] The anti-social inmate gets the attention whereas anyone who suffers in silence, suffers for a very long time.^[55]

A consequence of reinforcing violence for conflict resolution is that inmates will use violence to attain privileges they are not entitled to. Since there is no regulatory agency involved, this results in the most privileges being given to the most violent inmate, while inmates that have legitimate needs are overlooked. Medication is one huge recurring issue in this class of problems. Inmates tend to use violence to get put on medications they don’t need. They then take those medications and sell them to drug addicts or to people who actually need the medication but cannot get it from the institution.^[56]

Intimidation and segregation tactics are often used by correctional centres against inmates.^[57]

Correctional centres are shelters for negligent or malicious doctors and nurses to conduct unethical and illicit human experiments and use medically-induced torture.^[58] Some narcissists and sociopaths seek out employment within the corrections system in order to be able to get away with abuses against human beings.^[59]

It has been argued that the jail system is simply an extension of the welfare system, primarily for males. Females in the lower class demographic go on welfare while the males in that same demographic tend to end up in jail. Jail, like the welfare system provides the same kind of basic services, such as housing, food, clothes, and the essential necessities of life.

Jail tends to be a place to put people who have drug problems. The only time a serious addict is ever off drugs is when they are in jail. This seems beneficial, but in practice it subconsciously reinforces the association between drugs and freedom. It makes the feeling of being off drugs all the worse because of the horrible jail conditions. Being off drugs and being in jail become synonymous. Once this mental association is created, it becomes even more difficult to break the habit.

Jail completely destroys a person psychologically and actually does the exact opposite of what it was intended to do. Now that it is internationally accepted that confinement is torture, this should be obvious. Systemically torturing people worsens drug use, violence and crime in general.

The mechanism of collecting and maintaining the so-called information a prison possesses about a person needs to be completely revised. The way it works now is kind of like playing the telephone game.

Comments that were written down about a person are not validated for veracity, the source may not be credible or in some cases may not even be known. Throughout an inmate’s time in prison, the information goes from staff member to staff member, being copied, revised and updated. Usually the staff member who is creating these reports has never even met the inmate and is simply relaying information and adding her particular spin on it in order to support whatever outcome they want to manifest. The most shocking or disturbing information is usually the only thing that gets propagated, whether it has any basis in reality or not.

There is never any positive sounding information put in any report for any reason. Staff will literally skim through documentation and pick out bits and pieces and tweak and collate it into an official looking diagnosis without having any first-hand experience with the individual. It would be an illuminating demonstration to put your own life through this filter or someone you know to be a good person and see how it comes out. These reports would make Mother Theresa look like the devil incarnate. This is simply an excuse to justify the acts of terrorism that are being committed on a daily basis.

In an opaque, closed system such as a penitentiary, where there are no legal unions allowed amongst the power deprived class, there is either going to be massive corruption and human rights abuses, or there is going to be a tendency for the powerless to organize into criminal gangs.

Gangs are the de facto unions of prison inmates because unions are banned by the administration. This creates an enormous incentive to become a gang member for anyone in a penitentiary, which is completely contrary to the purpose of penitentiaries.

Any penitentiary that doesn’t have a strong gang or organized crime presence, such as Dorchester Penitentiary^[60] in New Brunswick, tends to develop serious human rights issues because the staff are able to become correct without any checks or balances. Matthew Hines was murdered by guards at Dorchester Penitentiary on May 26, 2017 and while he was laying dying, health care staff simply ignored him as is the culture of complacence at that particular institution.

In a prison with a gang presence, if the inmates suffer human rights abuses, the inmates will gang up and attack the staff members. This keeps them in line, but in a very anti-social way.

People who are wrongfully convicted are doomed in Canada’s justice system. If you are accountable, then you tell the truth about what actually happened, or about the fact that you do not know what happened. This results in the staff rating your accountability as LOW because they are not hearing what they want to hear, which is that you did it and you know why you did it and can change that in the future.^[61] Plus, if you are undergoing an appeal, you will be rated as LOW accountability. You could be a whistleblower who has devoted all of his resources towards accountability and still be rated as LOW accountability, which is complete horseradish of course.

The correction system needs to have indeterminate sentences which are based entirely upon a person’s actual psychological metrics. Case dispositions should be automatically adjusted based upon all new information which is inserted into the judicial matrix including new values for credibility.

Social Contracts

uch like economic markets for goods and services, there are rules and regulations to govern social behaviour. When two or more people interact, there is an exchange of sorts. The interpersonal transaction is usually governed by an implicit social contract. In a few rare cases, there may be an express written contract between parties to an interaction.

Social problems occur when an individual’s interpersonal expectations are violated. With implied or assumed agreements, this could happen often. It may be a genuine mistake, or it may be manipulation and abuse.

Anyone with any experience in the legal system knows that if the agreement is verbal or implied, enforcement is nearly impossible. The contract is only as good as the paper it is written on.

This fact, combined with the need for people to feel comfortable in knowing how they can expect to be treated are what led to the creation of the Criminal Code.

The Criminal Code is just a very detailed and specific legal social contract. Without it, each person would have to write up his own version of a behavioural contract from scratch, at his own expense. This would require hiring a lawyer or learning how the courts and the common law works on his own accord.

Enforcement would present an even bigger issue. Each interaction would require explicit agreement to the terms of this personal behavioural code. Any violations of the terms of the contract would have to be battled in court, again at your own personal expense of time, money or both.

Most people either wouldn’t or couldn’t do this by themselves. Society would degrade into a virtual communal anarchy. Ironically, this is pretty close to how prisons and especially county jails operate.

The main purpose of the equilism project described in this book is to facilitate a smooth transition from antiquated universalistic policy to a more evolved model, with less corruption, which is based on true personal democracy. Ideally without any further violence or tumult which is commonly found with significant social revolutions. There has been enough terrorism, counter-terrorism and drama for one century, thank you very much.

Golden Rule Problems

The so-called “golden rule” which states “treat others how you want to be treated” is one of those things that sounds pretty reasonable at first glance. In practice it is highly discriminatory against any form of diversity.

The golden rule would work only if all people were clones. It fails to account for cultural differences and individual preferences. In some localized cases, it can be somewhat useful as a general rule of thumb, such as within the confines of a very small segment of society. This will be called a micro-community.

The problem with this self-centred golden rule is that some people want to be treated differently than you do. Some people like bacon. There is probably someone who likes bacon so much that he’d be quite happy to shower with bacon grease. If he were to treat others in this way, it might be problematic. It might not be received so well to put a Muslim person into the bacon spa.

In an even more extreme example, imagine a chronically depressed or palliative individual who actually wants to be put out of his misery. This type of person should not go around treating everybody in the way that he wants to be treated. That would give justification for the rampage of a serial killer or clueless sociopath who follows the golden rule, mindless of the diverse feelings of others.

Radical racists would have justification to commit genocide. He might say to himself, “if I were race Zed, I’d want somebody to put me out of my misery”. It is quite likely that people of race Zed do not feel the same way as Mr. Racist. The golden rule tells the racist to commit genocide because he feels that way, regardless of how his victims feel.

Even across gender boundaries the golden rule can cause serious problems. A surprisingly large percentage of men have rape fantasies. Hopefully it needs no explanation why this personal preference should not be projected onto others, without taking into account whether they feel the same.

Consider the sports coach who celebrates a win with a team member by punching him in the arm. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this form of celebration as long as all involved are voluntary parties to it. It should be up to the recipient of the aggressive camaraderie to decide if he is comfortable with it. Imagine if the majority of the world consisted of sports coaches and they democratically made a law that celebration requires physical violence. A lot of people would get hurt.

This analogy seems ludicrous, but it is exactly the kind of thing which is happening today by having one universal set of behavioural laws for everyone which is dictated by the majority.

It may seem the problem is democracy. The person being subjected to democratically imposed treatment may feel like it is unilateral or a mob mentality. And it is. The problem is democracy doesn’t go far enough. The decision about how a person is treated goes so far as the national or state level, but stops there. It needs to drill right down to democracy on an individual basis for some things like where you will live, where you will work, what you will do for recreation, what you will eat and how you want to be treated.

Application of the golden rule can be unethical, discriminatory and blatantly criminal in some cases. It is a selfish tenet that projects onto and violates people. It fails to endorse using empathy or compassion for other people’s feelings and wishes. It fails to acknowledge that diversity is a perfectly acceptable fact of life.

The universal “golden rule” as it was originally conceived is a spectacular failure.

The Diamond Rule: Don’t Hurt Anybody

“Treat others the way THEY want to be treated, not the way YOU want to be treated”

– Drew McPherson

Equilism fixes the golden rule by allowing individuals the freedom to choose their own behavioural contracts. The sole caveat is that a person’s behaviour cannot interfere with another’s well-being as defined by that other person.

You should always treat people how they want to be treated, not how you want to be treated, especially if you are the kind of person who likes to get into fistfights. This is the new improved diamond rule.

Do unto others as they want done unto them. Treat people how they want to be treated. Don’t hurt anyone. Not by your definition of what hurts, but by the definition of those who are being hurt by your actions.

My idea of what my human rights are may be different than your idea of what my human rights are. If so, then that is a violation of my human rights.

– Drew McPherson

Treating others how they want to be treated necessitates knowing others feelings, having empathy. Diversity training may be necessary to domesticate a lot of people. Psychosocial education needs to be a part of the school curriculum more so than mathematics. School is teaching people skills that can be applied to make weapons or cause harm, but it is not teaching the empathy or social ethics to use those skills properly.

In Equilism, the sole condition upon an individual’s freedom to choose a social code is that nobody is allowed to violate another individual’s choice of social code.

You only get to choose how you want to be treated. You don’t get to decide how others are going to be treated.

Every person is responsible for all the good within the scope of his abilities and for no more

– Gail Hamilton

There is no unilateral interventionism where a third party comes in and dictates how someone will be treated.

Intervention is appropriate only when a person or group is violating the ideology of another person or group or mistreating a vulnerable party. Equilism is the protector of culture. The protector of humanity. The protector of diversity.

Selfishness must always be forgiven, you know, because there is no hope of cure

– Jane Austen

Treat people the way they want to be treated. This is the diamond rule. Sorry to sound redundant, but the evil golden rule has been instilled into people so hard for so long that it needs to be emphasized just how important the difference is with the diamond rule.

The golden rule is disrespectful and intolerant. The golden rule takes away everyone’s dignity, everyone’s autonomy, everyone’s right to free will. It is the best example of Satan’s handiwork.

If somebody does not want to be involved in certain conduct or does not want to be subjected to certain behaviours, then they ought to have the right to say NO. You shouldn’t have to wait until the government creates a universal law to prohibit the behaviour. Sometimes they never do.

With the equilism framework, there is no excuse to enforce systemic discrimination upon anyone. Each person can choose for herself how she wants to be treated, and more importantly, how she does not want to be treated.

Social Diversity

People are diverse, but the Universalist legal system totally fails to accept this fundamental fact.

If a group of people feels that a certain behaviour is acceptable, they are going to do it anyway. Chances are there are many people who feel the same way. Divergent social groups proliferate on the internet.

The only policy which gives true democratic freedom is to apply enforcement solely to ensure that individuals with incompatible behavioural tendencies do not associate with one another in incompatible ways. To make sure that people do not violate one another, in accordance with the victim’s perspective, not with regard to some imaginary objective person in the judge’s mind.

Society’s justice system needs to accommodate proper victim’s rights.

The separation of incompatible people is generally the goal of prisons, but there are other, better ways. There are alternative policy strategies which cost much less to taxpayers, while being far more humane and effective.

There may be irreconcilable incompatibilities among diverse people. A contrived example would be if person A says it would hurt him if you don’t give him $100. Person B says that it would hurt him if he gives away $100. There is no compatible intersection of these two ideologies. These two people must never interact. Narcissists may become very lonely people.

Obviously there are more realistic but complex examples of implacable incompatibilities. Doctrines which require stoning someone to death for wearing certain clothes might be an example.

Not every person is identical. If the earth consisted of 6 billion clones walking around behaving exactly the same way, this would be easy, but it’s not. Diversity is a fact of life. We cannot possibly hope to craft a single universal social contract that will be acceptable to everyone.

Behavioural Micromanagement

A fundamental problem with a Universalist behavioural model is the same issue that was encountered in the communist Universalist market strategy.

Unsustainably expensive micromanagement of the economic system and government actor corruption made possible by too much government power are the key factors which led to the demise of communism.

If we examine our democratic society today, we see these same kinds of problems in the justice system.

Communism doesn’t work because the government has to micro-manage all of the economic markets, setting prices, determining the proper terms for contracts for labour, goods and services. Rather than allowing vendors to determine the best prices and terms themselves. Imagine if changing the price of corn required an act of Parliament.

Universally enacted social contracts require micro-managing every single person’s behaviour. Rather than allowing individuals to determine how they want to be treated by other people.

There is no passion to be found playing small- in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living

– Nelson Mandela

Changing the criteria which constitutes fraudulent behaviour for example, requires an act of Parliament.

Defining a universal behavioural contract in the criminal code is an attempt to micro-manage all social contracts in the exact same way that communism sought to regulate all business contracts.

It is a very costly mechanism to administer and results in bloated government structures which then become cesspools of corruption. This has been a serious problem for a long time now.

Politicians keep trying to craft a universal code but most know they can’t please everyone. They genuinely try to do their best to pigeonhole the square peg into 40 million ovoid holes. But this isn’t even necessary any longer. It actually is possible to please everyone. With modern information technology, it is not just possible, it is completely necessary.

The availability of free and uninhibited access to information is strongly coupled to the necessity to implement a free-market social contracts policy. This is the alternative to universalism.

People need the freedom to decide their own lifestyle and engage in the behaviours that interest them. They must be free of trauma induced by unpleasant social interactions.

Like-minded people can more easily meet and interact according to their mutual social norms without the government knowing about it. Doing so in a culture based on fear drives the activity underground, making it inherently more dangerous than it ought to be, like opiate use or prostitution for instance.

This increases the need for emergency medical services and judicial enforcement which is already overburdened. In many cases, the individuals may be too afraid to call EMS right away which causes even more harm and sometimes death.

If there is an activity that many people enjoy participating in mutually, then they are going to get together and engage in that activity regardless of whether it is prohibited or not. By prohibiting the activity, we are simply wasting social resources to try and interfere in mutually consensual activities.

Since the activity is prohibited, this prevents any form of regulation from being enacted to ensure the safety of the activity. So for drug use, it results in the chemical composition and dosage of the drugs being unreliable and hence dangerous.

If a large number of people are interested in the activity, prohibition creates a black market where the profits benefit organized crime. The lack of ethical standards attracts predators. For things like prostitution, the managers or “pimps” can become abusive and exploit the women in myriad ways without any official forum for recourse. Additional harms ensue. The industry as a whole gets a bad name. The cycle continues.

The Social Free Market

No matter how many resources are put into the enforcement of a Universalistic code, humans invariably end up defaulting to Particularistic behaviour and application of the code in the real world. Particularism is the application of legal principles to individuals based on their particular circumstances.

Selective enforcement of laws does tend to occur naturally, but it is done on the basis of an unwritten social rulebook. It is probably not in any police manual. It is most likely handed down by word of mouth, which is wholly unacceptable. This needs to happen somehow because different people have different behavioural standards.

Live by the gun, die by the gun.

Some people live by way of violence. As long as all parties are ok with violence, there can be no legitimate basis for interfering with a completely isolated culture to prohibit the use of violence within that culture. In fact, televised violence is very popular in many cultures today. Boxing and UFC come to mind.

Serious problems occur when violent culture seeps out of its own micro-community into other areas of society which do not accept this kind of behaviour. The same goes for any form of social interactions which may be accepted in some microcosms of society, but not others, such as theft.^[62]

Certain neighbourhoods tolerate certain kinds of behaviour which are sometimes outside the norm. The police know about the accepted social contracts in various communities. They do not waste resources trying fruitlessly to intervene to enforce certain provisions of the Criminal Code in places where the people collectively choose to live a certain way.

The infamous street corner in Vancouver at Main and Hastings has drug addicts shooting up right on the steps of a church just a few feet from the sidewalk as police whiz by without even flinching. Walking tour guides who take tourists past this area warn them before they go through about what they are going to see, and to just proceed without interacting. In reality, there is an unwritten free-market social contract enforcement model taking place already.

Universalism is a lot like social alchemy in that it aims to turn one thing into another, despite the obvious impossibility of it. Trying to coerce an individual to completely stifle his behaviour is a hopeless endeavour.

No matter how much so-called “correction” a person receives, the rate of recidivism is exceptionally high. Most people simply enjoy the way they behave and don’t want to change. The primary variable which can be adjusted is the forum where the behaviour is directed.

When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw

– Nelson Mandela

Equilism affords all men the right to live the lives they believe in, in harmony with others of like mind.

For example, if two people agree that stealing is ok, then free-market social contracts allow them to steal from each other all they want. What they cannot do is steal from someone who does not feel that stealing is acceptable.

In this way, it is only the thief who ends up karmically having his property stolen. This may inspire a sense of empathy and he may then genuinely want to change his behaviour. This is where traditional social programming can be very useful.

Equilism formalizes and codifies this by creating the concept of free-market social contracts which are declared by each individual and each micro-community. The intricate details are coordinated by the power of information technology.

Complex business contracts can be voluminous. The Criminal Code which declares all terms of the universal social contract is about as massive as it gets. It would be unreasonable to expect people to carry around a mammoth tome simply to interact socially with others.

Prior to the invention of the computer and the internet, this concept was completely out of reach in terms of cost and feasibility. With modern information technology, it is only an app away.

Now with the internet and mobile devices, each person can carry around his own compendium of social contracts. He can do an instantaneous comparison with others’ social contract in order to find the compatible behaviours between two parties or even amongst large groups.

Letting social contracts be regulated organically in a free-market with minimal government intervention is far more effective and far less costly. Just like the economic free markets in capitalism.

The people get to decide their own social contracts. That’s democracy.

Equilism is not to be confused with a generalized minimalist approach for government like libertarianism. Equilism is distinct from libertarianism in that every individual gets to define his own social contract and is entitled to make it as comprehensive or conservative as he so desires. In this sense, equilism technically encompasses all political leanings within its framework.

Implementing free-market social contracts reduces terrorism.

By uncoupling the Universalist moral code from the state, it is put into the hands of a decentralized population. Terrorist attacks against certain cultures or morals cannot geographically target an equilist nation because the terrorist would be targeting his own culture which exists therein.

Equilism contains the infrastructural specification of the truly respectful and uniquely democratic world. It is the only social infrastructure that respects each individual’s social norms, no matter how distinct. Note that this applies only to consenting adults. Equilism defines special protected parties as you will see later.

Court Operations

Courts are so antiquated that they use terminology from the times of medieval dictators, such as “My Lord” and “My Lady”. To be afforded an audience with such nobility requires a formidable status in society. The great unwashed were not entitled to such luxuries. Not much has changed, it seems, with today’s judiciary.

The equilist courts will use a person’s defined and published social contract code to resolve disputes.

Social contracts are no different than regular business contracts except instead of an agreement to exchange valuable consideration, the agreement involves exchange of social interaction between parties. Most or all of the established principles of contract law are transferrable to the concept of social contracts.

One of the earliest documented social contracts would be the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments. This is a Universalist model of social behaviour. That means there is one set of rules for everyone and nobody is allowed to choose how they want to be treated. A higher power informs you of how you shall be treated and if you sneak off and behave differently, even behind closed doors, you are subject to punishment and penalty. In many countries homosexuality is illegal and even punishable by death.

The Universalist criminal code tries to describe one social contract to apply to everyone. Equilism allows every individual to determine his or her own social norms. Some people will be more conservative minded and have a very restrictive social contract. Others will be quite liberal or even libertarian and have a radically different set of standards. With modern information technology it is possible for every individual to declare his or her own social contract. This is perfect democracy without the need for interference by manipulative politicians, rigged elections, corruption, or settling for the lesser of two evils.

Politicians are necessary to architect the bureaucracy that enables society to function but let people choose their own business and social contracts. This has the added benefit of providing less incentive for megalomaniac bigots to want to seize power.

Prior to the proliferation of information technology, it was totally unrealistic to allow individuals to declare their own social code. Each person would have to carry around a massive legal tome the size of the criminal code (which is huge) and any interactions with others would first require that each person read and memorize this ridiculous legislative text.

Now it is necessary.

Social contracts are feasible with modern information technology because individuals can define and publish their own social contract with ease. The computer does the work of reading and comparing other people’s social contracts to your own. It is cheap to store such vast amounts of data. It is also easy and fast for computers to search for the intersection of social contracts in order to automatically summarize the acceptable behaviours when interacting with any specific person. In fact, the computer can do a global search to find other like-minded people and connect you with them. With geo-referencing, your search can be limited to places nearby. You may have been standing next to your soul-mate in a bus stop, and never even knew it. The equilism app will finally tell you. The possibilities are so great.

The availability of massive amounts of data storage and computational power combined with a globally connected and geo-referenced internet makes it unnecessary and even foolhardy to continue to try cramming people into a Universalist social model.

Preventing social discord will be a lot more consistent and reliable and can be automated with real-time smartphone alerts.

The main social problems occur when there is a collision of incompatible behaviours. Having a way to look up the code of conduct which is expected to be followed in a particular community is vital to solving problems of social discord before they happen. Helping apartment seekers choose an appropriate location is a valuable service. Helping tourists and visitors determine the micro-community map can reduce embarrassing and costly incidents.

Replacing the Criminal Code with free-market social contracts enables a consolidation and simplification of the civil and criminal branches of law.

Micro-Communities

Different areas of any given city are undeniably very different. These distinct areas will be referred to as micro-communities.

Micro-communities are areas where like-minded people have clustered. A distinct cultural niche within a larger metropolis. Social norms, while not explicitly written, are well-known and accepted within these communities.

There are various monikers for particular micro-communities. The Hood, Main and Hastings, Chinatown, Commercial Drive, Little Italy, Kitsilano, Yuppie Ville, Scarlem, Hippy Town, East LA, and so on.

Clustering is natural behaviour for social animals. Birds of a feather flock together. Like-minded individuals are going to congregate and behave amongst themselves however they feel most comfortable. This phenomenon yields a polka-dotted panorama of micro-communities.

Every successful society must have a way to cultivate diversity. The most tactful way to accommodate diversity is to make use of the natural tendency to huddle in groups. This includes accounting for distinct cultural preferences for social interaction.

A Universalist charter fails to capitalize on the human tendency to unite according to social particularities. It even purports to be able to contravene human nature. The purveyors of universal law claim there exists only one true and proper social culture. In a democracy, this proper code of behaviour is whatever the majority ordains it to be.

How foolishly arrogant to suggest that an uninvolved outsider should be better equipped to decide how consenting adults ought to behave amongst themselves in their own community. That would be like the Canadian government deciding what the law in Texas will be. Obviously that would be absurd. It would probably lead to war, in fact.

Police understand and accept the fact that dissimilar micro-communities govern themselves by unwritten rules. These credos may differ somewhat from the universal law they are technically required to obey. Tensions are reduced and resources are saved by applying selective enforcement of law for discrete micro communities. Attempting to intervene forcefully in these micro-communities would be unbearably costly and inflammatory.

Selective enforcement is of course officially unlawful, complicated and susceptible to unethical manipulation and corruption. It is a slippery slope to tread when the written rules are not the real law. Society can easily deteriorate into complete lawlessness which becomes the norm in certain countries. TODO – Russia? India? Middle-east? Caribbean?

To have laws on the books that aren’t really laws in practice simply discredits the government and gives excuses to people to behave corruptly, deteriorating the social fabric. It sets a bad example.

Since particularistic social principle enforcement has become normal, necessary and common, it is demonstrably irresponsible for the government to fail to recognize, survey and document it. A government funded statistics organization should be keeping track of this information at the very least.

Equilism takes this to the next level by codifying the social contracts concept in legislation and inaugurating a branch of government to maintain the data. Judicial proceedings will make use of the information to simplify and streamline justice. Recent advances in information technology make this very feasible.

The flexibility of social contracts policy easily accommodates diverse micro-communities, even those which utilize a Universalist code internally. Micro-communities can be like localized universalisms.

This is important because many people’s religious faith requires adherence to such a code. Any social policy purporting to be tolerant would need to account for this important fact.

As individuals mature, they may realize that their personal social drives actually differ dramatically from the religious or cultural doctrine which surrounds them. Rather than become hostile and violent towards the world which does not mesh with them, these reclusive nomads can make a home in a more hospitable micro-community.

Government needs to subsidize a classification and relocation service. Help people find solace in a community which accepts them and provides a healthy social outlet. This eliminates the primary incentives to join a terrorist group or adopt anti-social ideology.

One of the first steps for the Equilism project is to map out the unwritten social rulebook and provide useful real-time, geo-located information about the natural micro-communities which exist today in our world.

This will be useful for people unfamiliar with a city such as tourists and immigrants. It will also help people who move to a new location which is more suited to their social needs. There are obvious uses in dating or matchmaking services and organized social activity groups.

Autistic people who have notorious difficulty in figuring out social conventions will be put at ease when all the unspoken details can be looked up on the equilism app. No longer does the world need to be a cryptic maze of social pandemonium that only a super-genius could figure out. Equilism fits the puzzle pieces together.

Protected Parties

When you are being discriminated against by the Human Rights Commission, that should be a warning sign.

– Drew McPherson 2013-4-21

Certain protections are absolutely necessary, even in a free-market social contracts infrastructure.

The free-market economy has various restrictions, regulations, and protections to prevent violations and abuse. There must be some regulation and enforcement of free-market social contracts for the same reasons.

The equilism system will be computerized and will know important details about incompatibilities. It will be able to provide notifications in real time to a mobile device in order to prevent incompatible interactions from occurring.

If one of the parties intentionally violates a person’s social contract, then he will be treated in accordance with the equilist justice system.

Now obviously social behaviours involve more than one person. The capable and willing consent of each party is necessary for a social contract to be valid. Not all parties have the ability to communicate their desires for social interactions. Not all people are able to make mature, informed decisions.

Certain parties need special protections, such as children, disabled persons, animals and even conceptual parties like the environment itself.

In the adversarial court system, only certain people get a voice. Usually the richest, loudest bigots sway the courts. That’s why the very substrate upon which humans rely, the environment, is deteriorating at a rapid and possibly catastrophic rate.

We need to give a voice to those who are marginalized or voiceless. There needs to be a specific government department whose sole purpose is to consider the rights and interests of protected parties, such as children^[63].

The Ministry of Protected Parties will maintain social contracts for general classes of protected parties, such as children, people with certain disabilities, the environment. The MPP will be able to add specific exceptions for certain individuals on an as-needed basis.

It will no longer require an act of parliament to update the social contract for children, prohibiting exposure to second-hand smoke for instance. The people with the most direct knowledge of and experience with children will be the ones making these decisions, rather than a smooth talking politician up in the ivory tower.

Equilibrium (Balance)

Dancing isn’t about repetitive movements or about just-right choreography or even about letting the music control you. It is about interacting with the world in perfect harmony – about finding that elegant balance that brings you to nirvana. You might find it enlightening to practice dancing in everything you do.

– Drew McPherson

ou may be wondering why it is called equilism. The etymological root word is equilibrium, which means balance. The concept of equilism is an ideological creed which stresses balance as the most important driving force.

It is easy to forget how important balance is. It is fun to get caught up in a game where the pursuit of one narrow goal is supreme. Like money, for instance. In a capitalism, money is the most important thing. People chase the almighty dollar endlessly, at the expense of all other things of value, like personal health for instance. Or the environment we live in.

Every long-lasting structure must maintain an equilibrium with all of the competing forces which affect it. This applies to physical structures like a building, biological structures like an organism, social structures like a community and ecological structures like the environment.

Failure to strive toward balance, involves aiming to achieve a particular goal while disregarding other concerns. This results in a kind of black-hole across the conceptual fabric of purpose and intention.

If one were to actually achieve a single-minded goal in the absence of everything else, the result would be a dreary state of uniformity. Everything would be the same, homogenous, indistinguishable. To achieve a single goal with the exclusion of all other pursuits is actually quite boring chaos.

No human can exist in the absence of diversity and balance. No sentience or intelligence can manifest without it.

All other ideologies are based on extremes and they will all eventually collapse like an unbalanced teeter totter while equilism thumps on like the Energizer bunny, continuously correcting for ever changing dynamic forces.

Unipolarism is a Destabilizing Bias

Unipolarism is the precept that a single focus of interest is to be the driving force propelling all progress.

Most social models elevate one or two particular ideals to deity status. It may be money, corporations, the state, the environment, or even individual interests. Single-minded focus on one or two principles, no matter how meritorious the principles may be, will always culminate in social imbalance as other interests are neglected.

Social architectures oriented in this way will eventually lean so heavily in a particular direction that they will fall over. History has repeatedly borne witness to all manner of human tragedy when this phenomenon reaches the tipping point.

Fascism’s ideal of corporate welfare effected such inhumanity as the holocaust. Dictatorships all over the globe rise and fall like the sands of time.

Communism is a very recent and well-known example of single-minded value focus which doesn’t work in practice. Many of us alive today saw this as the USSR literally crumbled on live television. This failed system will not be revived, but there is value in analyzing precisely why it failed and correcting similar classes of problems which exist in our world today. The unwavering focus on the interests of the state and the attempt to micromanage economic markets ran the USSR into the ground in a cataclysmic disaster.

Capitalism’s worship of the economy gave rise to the prison industrial complex, which is just legalized slavery. Money has become a false idol. Pure financial interests have no accounting for human suffering or environmental needs.

A severe example to witness in real time is happening in the United States right now. Gun-related turmoil is good for gun sales, which increases the GDP. That’s so-called “success” in the capitalist ideal.

Yet the society is slowly imploding on itself with mass shootings.

Institutions buy guns to protect from the mass shooters. Then, every time there is a scare that guns may become more heavily regulated, the public goes on a shopping spree for more guns, “just in case”.

With all the guns around, anyone whose stress levels build to the snapping point has a weapon readily available. After being influenced by media coverage of mass shootings for years, it is not a far leap for a hopeless person to cry out for help in a way he knows is going to be televised.

Then the cycle continues and escalates.

Capitalism: Money Wins, People Lose

Capitalism naturally and necessarily leads to the creation of products and services which exploit and trigger the brain mechanisms for addiction. This used to be just a problem with alcohol and tobacco. But now there are bigger problems on the horizon. Just as treacherous but far more insidious.

A serious health epidemic is emerging with mobile phone app addiction. These apps are designed to get people addicted to a company’s software. It makes good money for the company at the expense of people’s health.

These devious purveyors of mobile apps are far too reminiscent of the big tobacco industry. The destructive pattern of brainwashing consumers repeats itself time and time again in a capitalism.

Marketing is brainwashing. It seems almost paradoxical that advertising is so effective in a capitalism. A company can either put money into improving the product or advertising it more. Heavily advertised products are necessarily inferior. When you buy a product that is heavily advertised, you are paying for the advertising. You already got to enjoy the advertising for free, so you are simply spending more money to get an inferior product. Nobody seems to realize this.

The problem with the pure capitalist principles is that companies are valued more than people. Policies evolve which are good for companies even though they may not necessarily be good for people; neither the employees nor the customers.

A lot of people don’t even realize that Nazi Germany was a stunning example of a capitalism. Hitler’s regime was powered by a strong capitalist policy. Companies thrived. The Nazi War Machine flourished. People perished. It happened in hyperdrive in 1940’s Europe, just as it is happening to some degree in much of the world today.

We don’t have to succumb to ambivalence and let history repeat itself. If the German people could see in 1940 where the ideology of their society was taking them, they might have changed course before tragedy mushroomed. We now have the benefit of hindsight from that failed social experiment. We can use that in foresight to prevent our own future failure.

Mature social adaptations must be crafted which solve these recurring problems from the past. It is important to adapt our social infrastructure before change is forced by some form of cataclysmic collapse or escalating war situation.

Environmental Destruction
(🕱🌢🚍☼🌎🌪❄🗲🌧)

Humans are inseparable from the environment which keeps us alive. The earth is a tree of life and its flower buds are people. The earth is peopling. We are one. Yet for some reason, humans have turned on our ecological counterpart. We have betrayed our own roots by pledging allegiance to an imaginary spectre called the economy.

The economy is in a boxing match with the environment. Our planet is against the ropes. There is no balance or accountability in environmental issues. It is well-accepted in the scientific community that this is a problem. It will inevitably lead to destruction of life on this planet through mechanisms such as pollution and climate change.

Conceptualize the ideal “success” in the case of Capitalism; the pursuit of material wealth. The world today is mostly capitalist and so there is vast “wealth” in terms of the capitalist ideal, but an environment which humans can inhabit is not a part of this.

Recall the story of King Midas, who idealized gold and strived to have gold things at all costs. This man ironically achieved his ultimate goal and everything he touched turned to gold, including the people he cared most about. This is a funny tale but contains a truth so deep and profound and highly relevant to our capitalist society today.

Trees and water and oxygen are cheap, so they are being replaced with things of higher capital value like gold and oil and uranium. We certainly can’t breathe oil. It would be unwise to sleep on uranium. Learn from the children’s fable. King Midas couldn’t eat or drink gold, so he learned the hard way. We must figure out balance before the point of collapse.

“Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money”

– Native American proverb

Scientists have been ranting for decades about the fatal course that society has us on. Having a Green party in existence is a good first step toward inspiring public comprehension of obviously necessary biological interests which have been forgotten in the age of affluence. It is timely over-compensation.

In the long run, even the well-meaning Green party can’t succeed functionally. The best thing for the environment is a total absence of humans. Ultimately, that’s not good for anybody who gets a vote.

Balanced interests are the only way to achieve sustainability in the long run.

Power vs. Merit Inversion

There is a socially disadvantageous power inversion because of the nature of capitalism. Capitalism encourages the accumulation of material wealth by equating wealth with social power. Anyone who has tried to access the courts should know this.

Selfishness arises out of a feeling of deep personal inner needs which are unfulfilled. Low self-esteem in a nutshell. Those with low self-esteem act selfishly, thinking it will fill the void. They attack others with high self-esteem thinking it will lower the bar or somehow raise the self. Typical selfish bullying. People who are emotionally immature tend to be selfish.

Capitalism gives great advantage to these immature prideful people. Their selfish pursuits cause them to become more powerful than anyone who is altruistic. The people who would use their power for greed are the ones who gain the most power. Anyone who would use his power to help the world is marginalized and persecuted.

The philosophy which idealizes selfishness is called individualism. It was proposed in Ayn Rand’s books titled The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.

Ayn Rand’s individualism presents a serious problem because in most social models, anyone who is completely selfish and individualistic gains an unfair advantage over anyone who selflessly helps his community or the world.

This is immediately beneficial to the individual and destructive to the whole.

Yet it eventually translates in the long-term to serious disadvantages for the individual. Selfishly cutting down every tree on the planet is an example which should help clarify the problem.

Randian individualism is myopic and greedy and creates a massive problem for the sustainability of human civilization. Individualists receive unfair advantage over anyone who is pro-social.

Encouragement of selfish narcissism is socially destructive, encouraging parasitism, rather than innovation.

Equilism is the only social infrastructure which compensates for those who choose to behave in a selfish individualistic way. The repercussions of these type of people are isolated into their own micro-community.

The credibility matrix in the equilist justice system classifies and accounts for the testimony of selfish people in comparison to an objective, honest, selfless individual. A rating system will accurately classify each individual.

Failing to convert to equilism will invariably result in the destruction of the planet earth as a result of the pursuit of short-term selfish goals by the majority of the population.

Equilism is a social architecture which compensates for and accommodates Randian individualism. No other social architecture does this.

Equilibrium & Diversity: Cha💣s Insurance

“Nothing is so important that nothing else is important”

– Daily Sudoku Puzzles by KrazyDad

The importance of balance is becoming more obvious to the general public. Everywhere you look, everybody is talking about it. Try purposely paying attention and take note. The message is unconsciously interlaced throughout mainstream media. Electrolytes in the body need to be balanced. The mind needs balance. Eat a balanced diet. The environment needs balance. Companies need balance. Social policy requires balance.

Structure can only persist when forces are in balance. Unbalanced structures topple and crumble into nothingness. Social structures are no exception. The social ideology which aims for balance is called equilism.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Equilism was conceived because of the need for society to survive. Long-term survival requires sustainability. We must re-architect a more resilient society which can maintain balance with environmental and sociological pressures over time.

Diversity across the biological sphere as well as the political sphere is the only way to achieve this. Diversity protects survival because when a destructive pressure is encountered. Even if death occurs, some of the creatures or policies will survive and adapt to the new situation. If there were complete uniformity, then any destructive force which could harm a single creature or policy would wipe them all out at once.

Diversity: the art of thinking independently together

– Malcolm Forbes

An epidemic virus is an example of a destructive biological force which necessitates organism diversity for survival. A major technological breakthrough like the internet is a social force which requires policy diversity for survival of a society. Without it, a targeted radicalization effort would convert everybody to the dark side.

Everybody knows there are problems. They’re accumulating right now. Yet solutions are few. Nobody knows what direction to go. To the political left or the political right. Elections force a shift in power, which does no good, so then it shifts back. Like a skateboard caught in a speed wobble. A new direction must be forged. One which nobody thought of before. The political landscape is greater than one-dimensional.

Political left or right. Did anyone think to look upwards? As the new dimension in politics, equilism transcends.

For diverse entities to co-exist peacefully in the long run, they must be carefully balanced. Like a house of cards, only carefully balanced structures can remain erect. When balance is achieved, gradual adaptation to small changes enables the structure to continue to exist without falling over. This precarious balancing act happened in the natural world very gradually. Eons of subtle environmental changes and corresponding biological adaptations. Miniature little corrections over time.

Since humans have become such a powerful overriding force, it is now necessary for us to engineer a correction to re-establish a sustainable equilibrium in the environment we have irreversibly altered.

The reason equilism succeeds where all other social models eventually fail is because the driving force of equilism is balance. Equilism places sustainable dynamic weights on the interests of parties. It acknowledges and speaks for diverse parties that don’t have a traditional voice, such as the environment, children, disabled people and animals.

Equilism is the only sustainable policy because it is the only one which is based on balance.

Diversiphobia

A balanced society must conquer systemic discrimination and racism. The systemic roots of racism are Universalist law combined with democracy. That’s right, democracy is the root of applied racism. Universalist law means one law for all people. Democracy imposes the law of the majority upon all minorities, thereby failing to acknowledge or accept individual differences. That’s discrimination.

Tribal Adversity is the fundamental psychosocial force which is the driving force behind diversiphobic human behaviour. It is a survival mechanism which is at the root of racism and discrimination of all forms.

The historical necessity of this human trait can be summarized in a simple analogy. Consider the case of being stung by a scorpion. It hurts. It can be lethal if you try to hang out with a bunch of angry scorpions who will continue stinging you until you are dead. You must either avoid or destroy the scorpions for your own survival, and you must warn the others in your tribe about the scorpions and pass the knowledge down through the generations to ensure the survival of your species.

In general anything which is not a part of your tribe is potentially a lethal threat to your survival individually and as a whole species. The humans who did not have a strong manifestation of this psychological force probably hung out with scorpions and bears and poisonous asps and went extinct. The humans who felt a strong aversion to anything which was perceived as different were more likely to survive and propagate their genetic code to the next generation. Racism evolved as a deep-rooted, genetically programmed survival mechanism which overpowers even the rational conscious mind.

This is why diversiphobia has been such an insidious problem throughout human history. For more details see the book on McPhersonian psychology titled You May Be ‘Insane’ and Not Even Know It!

The solution to overcome the diversiphobia problem is to add psychosocial education to the standard elementary school curriculum. In a couple generations time this should significantly shift the diversity sensitivity of our nation.

Psycho-Social Education

“The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence”

– Rabindranath Tagore

Diversity sensitivity needs to be taught from a very young age.

Acclimatizing a person to diversity is a lot like domesticating a wild animal. Familiarity from a young age will dispel any fear or hostility. A particular diversity module can train schoolchildren to be comfortable in the presence of diversity.

With the increase in people on the autism spectrum, this kind of education is vitally necessary both for aspies and neurotypicals so that each can understand the other.

There is an exceptional need for serious reforms in the standardized curriculum for basic education. The education curriculum today teaches youth how to understand math and science and English and sometimes even various art forms.

The most important subject matter of course has to do with people. There is an immediate need for education in empathy, social skills, ethics and self-regulation such as rudimentary psychology, cognitive behavioural therapy, meditation and neuro-linguistic programming.

It is categorically foolish to give people the skills to use math and science to build such things as guns and bombs, while completely neglecting to teach any ethical or emotional comprehension of the people these weapons might be used on.

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to have made man a more clever devil

-C.S. Lewis

Each individual will be assessed in according to the McPhersonian psychological model. Credibility and ethics will be taught in schools. Social education is a vital component of the education system. Currently the core curriculum is totally lacking in these fundamental tools which are vital to enhancing social accord.

The so-called unwritten social rules need to be written down and taught, otherwise our children will be fumbling around in the dark to figure out proper social ethics.

Social ethics is such a vital aspect of society that it is appalling that it is not a core curriculum in schools. This subject matter is far more important than even the most basic mathematics or literacy. Social literacy trumps all else. Furthermore, by teaching credibility in schools, this will raise overall self-esteem and the society will be far healthier as well as far more judicially effective.

Only after serious problems occur does this kind of education become offered in prison. This usually happens long after the peak learning age, so by the time a person ends up in prison, it may be too late to change his behaviour.

An important thing to fix in the education system, especially early on is this current programming of vicious disdain towards intellectual superiors. Instead, they ought to be made out to be celebrities who inspire awe and respect with prestigious awards and financial freedom from the earliest age, just as movie stars have been made out as such. Clever propaganda devices may be employed to this end.

We need a dynamic continuum of education which contains the materials found in correctional programs at the basic levels. Privileges can be based upon a person’s level of accreditation on the educational spectrum. This is the way that society works on an unwritten de facto basis, but without any merit assessments. Another problem is that diverse peoples are disadvantaged because the rules are not codified.

Accreditation must not be a permanent thing. Retraining may be necessary if one’s behaviour demonstrates a need for a refresher course. As such, someone’s level of education may go up or down over time, depending on how she is applying and maintaining her skills and knowledge.

Consequences for misdeeds should be proportionate to the level of trust which was breached. This is currently completely backwards. For instance, police almost never go to jail unless they commit a serious crime like murder. Even then, they usually get away with it.

As a person’s status advances due to psychosocial education, his rights should increase. His responsibilities must also increase, as well as the consequences of failing to meet those responsibilities. A person with power and authority who commits an act of corruption must be subject to a greater punishment than a person who works at the Quik-E-Mart and stole from the till.

The Meaning of Wealth
($¢£¥€🕙☺)

The honest poor can sometimes forget poverty. The honest rich can never forget it.

– G.K. Chesterton

Narrow minded capitalist “success” would be a man lying battered and broken in excruciating pain, face down in a pile of manure with one hand triumphantly raised, holding a smartphone with a ten figure number displayed under the heading “account balance”. Ironic that it is called a “balance”.

In our society, everybody strives to achieve success or to be wealthy. Transitioning from unipolarism to equilism, requires that the paradigms of success and wealth be redefined from their current single-minded focus on money and material things to a more holistic ideal.

Using Gross Domestic Product to measure progress as capitalist societies do is good for capital goals. This is usually bad for people. It is most definitely bad for the environment in which people must exist. Humans can’t eat gold, drink oil or breathe carbon. Capitalism values these commodities above food, water and air.

Plans to protect air and water, Wilderness and wildlife are in fact plans to protect man

– Stewart Udall

Presently, to be considered wealthy, one must have a lot of money and/or a lot of material things. Objectively viewed, it seems ridiculous for a purely conceptual stream of magnetic data in a machine at a banking institution to be the guiding force in a human being’s personal emotional comfort. But numeric figures on a bank ledger can and do have a serious impact upon an individual’s wellness.

Think about your bank account balance, the bills you need to pay, your salary or hourly rate, the income you expect to make this year. There can be no denial that these numbers have an influence upon your emotional state.

If a number stored in a computer system is the overriding decider of a person’s emotions, it calls into question who is actually a sentient being. Think about that seriously for a minute. Wouldn’t you rather be in complete control of your own emotional state; to be happy even in the face of adversity?

The theory in the companion psychological book You May Be ‘Insane’ and Not Even Know It! is that the cumulative stresses induced by this perception of wealth are the primary causative factor in diseases of affluence, such as heart disease, diabetes, even cancer.

The cure to cancer may be a paradigm shift regarding wealth.

I’m not interested in capital. That makes me a heretic. Capital is for pansies. It not only facilitates weakness but encourages laziness. By developing the raw skills and knowledge to create capital or health, you become truly powerful, not by accumulation of things.

– Drew McPherson 2014-2-20

Material things are a boat anchor. Raw skills and knowledge are the oars. If the earth is our ship and it’s going down, which would you rather have on your life raft?

It makes more sense to define wealth in terms of things which more directly affect human well-being. The principles of health and happiness need to be incorporated into our definition of wealth.

The good news is that this is primarily psychological. This means we can simply alter our perceptions by changing the way we process information so that psychological health may be maintained in spite of financial considerations. The extremely powerful placebo effect can be leveraged for beneficial results.

Equilism aims to measure aggregate health and happiness similar to the way Bhutan gauges forward social progress.

If you support your own health and happiness and the safety of your vulnerable children, then you probably already support equilism in principle. Now you have the word for it.

Copyreport, Not Copyright

The main problem with existing copyright law is that piracy is rampant. Another issue is that it costs too much for low income families to enjoy an unlimited stream of creative works. This in turn drives the piracy industry and other anti-social side-effects. Modern technology makes it very easy to commit digital piracy. It is an endless cycle.

The cycle can be broken with a very simple modification to the copyright income infrastructure. The very same technology which makes it easy to commit acts of piracy can also make piracy a thing of the past with a little ingenuity.

Copying creative works in the equilism social architecture is absolutely free and unlimited for end users.

The core regulatory principle will state that playback of creative works must be done using a government-approved playback device which will track usage information and send the data back to a central statistics authority. It will take some time to implement the required technology. A staged implementation of the new infrastructure will be necessary, spanning a few years. Adoption of new technologies has proven to be very fast for end users so this transition should be very smooth.

Playback devices will need to be internet compatible, but this won’t be a problem since even toasters are web enabled nowadays. Devices will want to make use of internet connectivity to gain access to the plethora of available works, which will no longer be limited in any way. Multiple redundant servers will make the streaming capabilities lightning fast. It will be a Napster’s paradise.

Authors of creative works will be paid by the government according to popularity of usage of their creative works. This will completely eliminate the incentives for piracy since copying and usage of all creative works are absolutely free for end users.

The complicated and controversial fair use principle which sometimes requires expensive court cases will be obsolete. Anyone will be allowed to use any amount of a creative work in their own creation, but they will be required to register the fact that they used the work and the percentage of it that they copied.

This is advantageous for the original author because they will be paid whenever someone views the new creation that uses their work. This will be advantageous for publishers because they won’t have to figure out how much they are allowed to use, it will be greatly simplified and there are no limitations on it. They merely have to document the fact that they used the original work and what percentage of it was used.

Obscure authors of interesting works that get reused by a large publisher or a famous author will get exposure, generating revenues they would never have seen otherwise. The world will benefit because the truly high quality artistic creations will be more accessible when they are found and reused by the large publishing houses. Massive social resources will be saved on litigation.

Dissemination of creative works will be greatly simplified for publishers since they will no longer be required to collect payment nor will they need to devise and implement strategies to deter piracy. The more copying of their works the better, since they will then be paid more by the government.

People who enjoy music, art, literature and movies on a regular basis are happier, healthier, more productive and pro-social. In a way, access to unlimited creative works is a universal health plan augmentation. TODO Insert reference to study regarding enjoyment of creative works being correlated to pro-social behaviour.

It is undeniably clear that universal health care is the most sensible public health policy. Even the old hold-out, the USA, has come to accept and implement this. The old adage states that “laughter is the best medicine.” It is true on so many levels. This coincides with the theory of imbalance in McPhersonian psychology. Therefore it only makes sense that the next vital extension of public policy involves universal access to creative works.

This issue is going to be solved whether it is embraced by the government or not. Technology now allows universal access to creative works through piracy programs on the black market. These software applications are becoming more and more sophisticated because of the immense public pressure to provide universal access.

Like all black markets, more harm is done than would otherwise be the case. Viruses and Trojan programs spread malignantly through piracy sites.

All attempts to lock down creative works fail very quickly. The attempt to introduce an encryption scheme into musical content in 2008 (VERIFY) was permanently cracked and published within 24 hours of it having been released by the media industry.

Piracy impinges upon the revenues received by authors of creative works. This increases the cost of individual works, thereby increasing the barrier to legitimate access. That gives more incentive to commit piracy and the downward spiral continues. Creative development eventually wanes due to a lack of economic viability. The end result is a reduction in the aggregate quality and quantity of the creative works collection available to the public.

The equilist model for copyright law actually encourages authors to produce high quality works. With accurate tracking, authors receive the revenues they deserve, without needing to implement complicated and costly methods to reduce piracy.

The statistics will be far more accurate. Authors will be able to know exactly how many people are enjoying each of their works which will certainly be helpful in determining what interests the public. Also, it will be a huge boost in confidence for authors who might otherwise be undiscovered.

The record companies benefit, because they don’t have to waste their budget on copyright protection schemes. They can focus on marketing and distribution, using the more accurate and detailed statistics to help them achieve maximum return on investment.

Judicial Reform

lternative reward is needed, not punishment. If the carrot is still dangling, and it’s the only food in sight, then of course he’s going to continue chasing it. It is the only thing motivating him positively. By applying punishment when he is caught with the carrot, that just says he needs to go to extremes to not get caught. Providing an even bigger carrot in a different direction with no barriers is the way to turn things around.

Access to Justice

The Canadian justice system may have meant well when it began, but the way it is structured prohibits access for most average people. This type of barrier to access of such a vital social system was a key tool leveraged in the rise of fascism, yet nobody has figured out how to fix it. Fascism was a system whereby corporations were basically running the government.

A lot of taxpayer money is saved when it is no longer necessary to waste massive judicial resources on enforcing foolish ideals like prohibition and other victimless crimes consisting of consensual, personally accepted behaviours.

The equilist judicial system will use these resources to provide universal and simplified court access to all citizens. Access today is horribly deficient^[64]. Anyone who has ever tried to engage in civil litigation against someone knows how complicated and inaccessible the system is.

It is virtually impossible to be able to pursue any form of justice through this system^[65]. Even in cases that are as clear-cut as can be with irrefutable evidence, you cannot expect any degree of success. If you do start to make progress, you will be quickly noticed and shut down by corrupt participants.^[66]

The justice system invariably rules in favour of the richest participant, no matter how clearly unfair the ruling is in actual fact. If you have absolute undeniable proof of your claim in black and white, such as an official bank statement, then the opposing party will make a motion for “summary judgment”. In our corrupt system, this will shut down your civil action immediately and you will be forced to pay costs of several thousand dollars to discourage future attempts to access justice. If you are particularly relentless in your pursuit of justice, they will make anti-suit injunctions against you to prevent you from ever being able to file a civil action.

Engaging in the judicial process is like playing a game of chess with someone who doesn’t follow the rules. They just move their pieces wherever they want and put taken pieces back on arbitrarily. There is no point. Fighting justice officials on their own battlefield where they don’t even follow their own rules is fruitless. No matter how valid a point you have or how well you present it they just rearrange the situation, fabricate facts, tamper with witnesses, and violate rules and principles to cover up government wrongdoing.^[67] One injustice is used to justify other injustices. The government would rather spend a hundred million dollars, damaging thousands of people in the process to avoid admitting any wrongdoing, rather than spend fifty bucks and admit that they made a mistake.^[68]

The government lawyers will commit horrific abuses of process to make it completely unfair for the litigant, then they will turn around and make accusations against the person they are abusing the process against and claim that he is the one who is committing abuse of process.^[69]

The criminal justice system is even worse. It is a discriminatory, racist universalism, just like Hitler’s original vision in the 1930’s. This works because it is easier to win the hearts of a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices than it is to persuade one individual by logic. The reason for this is clearly explained by McPhersonian psychology in terms of survival imbalances such as Tribal Inclusion Adversity, explained later.

For people who are “known to police”, it is virtually impossible to make a complaint to the police that will be taken seriously^[70]. If something is stolen from such a person, and he wants his property back, he will have to resort to violence which then creates additional problems.

There is no recourse or restitution for people who are blacklisted by police. This is totally unacceptable in a civilized society, yet it occurs on a daily basis. This will be fixed with equilism.

Court Remedies

The resolutions in the criminal justice system are of little or no benefit to the victims of the offences. The resolutions cause only harm and are pure terrorist activity. This can oftentimes have a severely detrimental effect upon the victims in terms of not receiving sympathy and worse yet, possible perpetrator retaliation. The only way to get around this is to hand out life sentences like candy. This is the horrific state the United States has deteriorated into.

The new role of the courts will be to arbitrate between disputes where one individual violated another’s social contract. There is no need for outcomes of criminalization, incarceration or other mindless harm which does not actually rectify the problem, and in many cases merely exacerbates it. Restitution, reclassification, retraining and relocation will be the only possible interventions by the courts.

Restitution will restore the aggrieved party to the state they would naturally be in had the violation not occurred. This is similar to the civil court damages.

Reclassification will alter an individual’s social contract code to be more accurate.

Retraining will use social education techniques to enable an individual to alter his behaviours to fit into a particular micro-community.

Relocation will be the extreme step of actually physically removing an individual from an incompatible micro-community and enforcing this with GPS tracking technology.

Repeat offenders will have the option to enter a retraining course to be allowed back into the prohibited micro-community if they so desire.

Community Placement / Relocation

An ear is a useful sensory organ. But a person’s ear does not belong on his foot. So too are all people useful and should be accepted, but some do not belong in certain places. More so they are probably not happy or healthy in certain places.

Prison Restructuring

Prisons will be restructured and repurposed in an equilist judicial architecture. They will henceforth be called Classification, Relocation and Training (CRT) centres.

Equilist CRTs will first and foremost properly ascertain an individual’s psychosocial profile. Once this is established, the individual will have several options for how to proceed.

The individual may choose to be GPS tagged and relocated to a suitable micro-community with restrictions to prohibit entry into incompatible micro-communities. This may result in certain inconveniences and so an alternate option is to participate in social skills university (SSU) so as to learn the interpersonal skills necessary to function across many micro-communities in harmony with others. Upon successful completion of the social skills course, the individual may be released back to the community of choice. In some cases, the individual may be released to attend SSU in the community with possible restrictions.

Some individuals will have such a drastic psychosocial profile that there are no suitable micro-communities. Sometimes the reprogramming efforts are unsuccessful after many attempts. In some cases, the individual may not wish to attend social skills university or be reintegrated into the community. These rare cases will have the option to be inserted into the Matrix.

Judicial Calculation

Evidence giving will be done in a blind fashion. Anyone giving evidence will have no knowledge of the participants in the case, no awareness of the issues to be determined and no chance to manipulate his evidence to help either of the parties. This will eliminate sexism and other forms of discrimination that erode the effectiveness of the justice system.

Also, there will not be explicit charges laid, nor will individuals involved in the case be labelled things such as “accused” or “defendant” or “complainant”. These labels automatically pre-judge people and prevent the proper reckoning of the truth in cases where the complainant may be the actual perpetrator and the accused may be the victim.

As for determining the outcome of the proceeding, that will be done in accordance with a judicial matrix which is created for each case by the judge. If any relevant information or evidence is updated anywhere in the entire judicial system, then the case will be re-calculated automatically. For instance, if a witness who was previously believed to be credible is ultimately discredited, then the weight of his evidence will drop substantially, which may free wrongfully convicted persons automatically upon recalculation.

The court process will be mathematically matrix-driven in that the judicial officials will create a matrix containing the pieces of evidence, which conclusion or truth they support and their weight based upon credibility of the source. Thus each individual will have a credibility rating given by the SCO.

Judicial cases will be continually updated with new information such as new evidence or a new credibility rating so as to always be getting closer and closer to the absolute truth. This will encourage witnesses to maintain the highest level of credibility lest the result of their old cases be altered at some future point.

Equilism re-architects the justice system to prevent it from making such costly mistakes as we have seen far too often by both reducing the frequency of mistakes and the cost of each error. Errors that do occur are repaired with speed and efficiency automatically as new information is received.

Discriminatory and downright racist restrictions on freedom are resolved with finesse by applying modern technology to the matter of politics and law.

In the adversarial court system, each party is believed to be distorting the truth and so the result ends up being split in the middle. The rare individual who does not distort the truth has no hope against an individualist. Being credible makes the justice system unfair. You’d have to become a liar in order for our current justice system to give a result that is fair and true.

Equilism accounts for this by explicitly taking into account credibility metrics of each party. Over time this will automatically provide incentives to maintain higher credibility. Each case is automatically re-evaluated continuously in real-time as credibility metrics are updated so as to always be getting closer to the truth. No case is ever fully closed in the equilist justice system. Injustices can always be undone with more information or more accurate credibility metrics.

Those who have experience with the justice system know how bad it is with regards to credibility. Almost nobody takes the oath to tell the truth seriously anymore, especially not police or other DAFT members. It used to be based on a fear of God, but now there is no real incentive to be honest since almost nobody gets charged with perjury, especially not a complainant. Credibility metrics which are tracked throughout an individual’s life, similar to how the credit unions do it will solve all of this.

Electoral Reform

“The establishment must be protected from those who run it”

– Drew McPherson Apr. 2012

ook what our lovely democratic system has deteriorated into. It is nothing more than a national beauty pageant. Celebrity contestants throw money into the marketing of their public image. They play the game of manipulating people, telling each person a different story to appease her as if it were a season of Big Brother. In this electoral system, the most meritorious candidate is the one least likely to be elected and vice versa.

When issues are debated, it is usually a fierce personal battle regarding the universal social contract. Nobody ever gets to vote for the policies they actually want. They are too busy voting against a candidate they view as dangerous to their way of life.

Elections are almost never about sending a local representative to the capital city to speak for the people who elected him. Party politics dominates the process, so you are really voting only for the leader of the party and his particular universal ideology.

Democracy at 8; 7 Central

Popularity contests and policy creation have no place together

– Drew McPherson 2013

Democracy is not supposed to be a manipulation game. It is supposed to be a fundamental safeguard to prevent power from falling into the hands of a sociopathic manipulator like Adolf Hitler or Donald Trump. It is unfortunate yet ironic that the system is structured so that the most proficient manipulator necessarily emerges victorious.

In this perverse degradation of electoral politics, success often depends upon an incitement of hatred. People are inherently enslaved by their prejudices. This is because of deep-rooted survival instincts that compel a person to categorize and discriminate.

The successful candidate is usually the one whose rhetoric convinces us that he can most effectively protect us against these primitive ostensible threats. This was seen in Nazi Germany in the 1930’s when Hitler proposed to solve “the Jewish problem”. More recently, the same tactic worked in the USA with the election of Donald Trump who proposed to keep the Mexicans at bay with a ginormous wall.

The best way to achieve political death is to win an election

– Drew McPherson 2012

With the current system, any successful electoral candidate must degrade into a multiple personality disordered bigot who plays pandering games. This makes for entertaining reality TV, but it’s certainly not good for designing a well-functioning, safe, stable or balanced society.

“Elections are very rarely based on policy”

– CTV Reporter

In a democracy, a leader can lie to get elected and in practice, the one who lies the most in order to tell people what they want to hear is the one who is elected. These lies are different across different population subgroups and geographic regions to appeal to each different micro-community culture. Therefore the successful candidate’s platform is publically inconsistent.

Once elected, the leader has four years to influence society for his own selfish gain with no repercussions. To get re-elected, he merely has to throw some tax money around just prior to the next election campaign to win over the fickle and amnesic public.

The worst repercussion he faces for total corruption is to not be re-elected and to collect a massive lifetime pension plus all of his proceeds of his corrupt activities without having to do any work and have total retirement freedom.

The incentive and reward for lying and behaving in a corrupt fashion is enormous and permanent. There is no reward or incentive for doing a good job of governing the people and in fact history has shown that doing so results in direct and indirect punishment. If he does do a good job at improving people’s lives then powerful corporations will have the corrupt press write bad reviews about him.

In a dictatorship, the leader has to keep his people happy for a very long time. Decades as opposed to four years – or rather a few months at the end of four years. If the dictator fails to do a good job and treat the people well, he pays with his life. Incentive to govern properly is of the highest magnitude possible. There is no pension in a dictatorship, not guaranteed anyway, especially if he does not make the people genuinely happy and most certainly not in the case that his corruption leads to overthrow. So the reward for doing a good job is to maintain his livelihood, to stay alive.

With our current electoral framework, a dictatorship has advantages over democracy. This should be a huge warning sign that changes are well past due.

The word “political” technically means “related to policy”. Erroneously, people often use this adjective to mean “related to pandering”, which is the process of manipulating voters to get elected to a position of power where one can actually create policy.

The current electoral framework has convoluted the concept of policy making and tangled it with pandering. Pandering means to gratify or exploit a person’s desires or weaknesses. This is what is being done when a person convinces you to vote for him. This results in the most manipulative liar being given the power to decide how to run your society. There is another name for this kind of person; sociopath.

The sociopath who is manipulating election results might not even be one of the candidates. With the rise of the global internet, he might not even be in this country. The 2016 American presidential election has proven that the current electoral framework is vulnerable to tampering by parties who are not even an official part of the process, such as the Russian government.

Because of the easily corruptible format of elections, the rudimentary economics 101 marketing rules apply. Most people buy commercial products based on the most eye-catching advertising program. More products can be sold by a more effective marketing campaign. An election is selling a candidate as a product. Instead of spending money, people are spending votes. The whole process can be broken down into a fairly exact science by calculating how much it will cost to buy enough votes to win.

The electoral marketing campaign is basically the same thing as propaganda. Perhaps our current democracy would be more accurately called a propagandocracy or manipulocracy or panderocracy.

This phenomenon becomes more conspicuous as intelligent megalomaniacs figure out the formula and apply it to win positions of power.

This sociopathic game is totally disrespectful to real politicians. These are the people who actually study the science of policy making and want to implement a social infrastructure that improves your life. A politician seeks to implement the best social policy. A panderer seeks to play word games to avoid displeasing anyone and to make people hate the opponent.

It is easy to say don’t vote for the snaky liars who only want to control you for their own personal gain. But our current system makes this virtually impossible. It is time for a new system.

Even if you try to police the information that is flowing, to prevent manipulation and foreign tampering, that opens the additional problem of who is going to police the police. Controlling information like this is doomed to degrade into an Orwellian nightmare, not unlike China today.

There must be a better way. The only solution that can succeed in the long run and maintain the democratic spirit is to make irrelevant or obsolete the core concept of marketing a specific person for office.

Equilism eliminates the fighting over what the rules of society should be and short-circuits the megalomaniac as each of us has absolute power and control over our own individual worlds. Every single person gets to shape the world into her own ideal image.

Democratic Deterioration

Hopefully those with power will realize we are on a collision course with disaster and deduce the solutions before it’s too late. We are kind of at the mercy of the politicians.

One would think that if this really mattered to people, they could simply elect an Equilist government. Except for one problem. The electoral framework in place now is the kind that results in sane, sensible messages being downplayed and eclipsed by the marketing of candidates who have all the money, which of course comes from capital wealth like gold, oil and carbon.

The power of propaganda cannot be underestimated. Clearly the issues of sustainability, health and balance matter to each of us. But the manipulative framing of party campaigns influences people. Highlighting public fears to coerce an anti-vote overwhelms otherwise rational choices.

Party politics is a package deal. There is no à la carte option. That unwanted side-dish of destroying the air we breathe is slipped into the bundle of having a job to pay the bills.

The party problem.

Blind Elections

The solution to this problem is to have blind, platform-based elections. In this electoral model, a candidate will be strictly prohibited from advertising his face or any symbolism other than a standardized form describing the candidate’s platform and certain standardized test results and psychological background information that is relevant, such as his credibility.

This sounds extraordinarily boring and it should be! Elections are important social processes to decide how to structure the world around us and should be taken seriously. If you want to watch a beauty pageant, then change the channel or go attend a beauty pageant.

It would be better to have a boring electoral process that builds a stable and sustainable infrastructure than to have Russians meddling to facilitate the election of a racist dictator who will destabilize the country. Democracy will mature greatly once we stop giving all the power to the most successful manipulator.

In all other real world occupations, there are checks and balances to ensure meritorious ascension. Blind, platform-based elections with professional psychosocial metrics published about each candidate will be the missing check and balance that is so desperately needed in our electoral framework.

Then we get to our next problem.

Delegation of Power to the People

Democracy poses a peculiar engineering problem. Societies are complex architectural projects. They are far more complex than even the most sophisticated bridge. So why would you want such a vital and personally important structure to be designed democratically, by a group of random people who have no knowledge or education in the matter, many of whom do not even share your moral values?

Consider the bridge analogy for a moment. Imagine if this bridge were built using democracy. Any random moron could come and cast a vote about how they think the bridge should be built. Then the votes would be tallied up and voila, a bridge is constructed according to popular opinion. Would you want to be the first one to drive on it? Would you want to go anywhere near it at all? Would you want to live in a house built using this methodology or work in an office building constructed by democractic vote? If not, then why on earth would you live in a society that was engineered using this seemingly sensible technique? Think about it.

No matter how well meaning the people of any community intend to be, if you create the rules of that community using a democratic vote, then those rules will necessarily be discriminatory toward the minorities. Different folks want to live by different rules, so somebody is going to be discriminated against and you bet it isn’t going to be the majority. Minorities lose out.

I’m autistic. I don’t have human rights.

– Drew McPherson

Unless you are living in a community of clones, different people are going to have different preferences. Isn’t that the whole point of the land of the free? What good is it saying you are free, yet requiring that you abide by the rules set down by a democratic vote of people who get to tell you what you must do? Democracy is the opposite of freedom, unless you happen to be the President or Prime Minister, and even then he doesn’t get to make the rules he wants, he has to listen to the majority of others and ignore the minorities if he is going to get re-elected.

Regardless of which political party you prefer, the other side will win every once in a while. Do you really want THEM deciding how YOU have to live YOUR life?

Letting other people determine your moral values for you can be nerve-wrackingly stressful when the other guys snatch control of the establishment. You have to wait 4 more years to try and get them out so you can live at peace how you want, in line with your own moral and cultural social values. Even when your party gets in, the leader doesn’t always share all of your particular moral values and doesn’t address all of your concerns.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

But we begrudgingly accept it because it’s all we know. We can’t trust a liar who heads a party that only partially fits your own value system and never lives up to its grandiose claims and promises.

We all have to live by the same rules. Or do we? The solution turns out to be simple. We can allow the clever social engineers to design a framework for individuals and micro-communities to select their own bundle of acceptable social contracts.

This is actually identical to the trade problem that has already been solved by capitalism.

Imagine if each individual were the Prime Minister or President of his own virtual country. This is identical to being the owner of your own business, which in a capitalism each person automatically is by default. Even if you are employed by a larger corporate entity, you still have control over your own virtual business, which is your labour force of one. You can quit and go do something else any time you want.

Equilism extends the principle of the free market to the concept of social interactions in general. Business contracts define the terms of interactions in the market for goods and services. Social contracts define the terms of interactions between people.

Each individual gets to decide what social interactions he wants to accept in his life. This is the only way to engineer a society that is not inherently discriminatory or authoritarian. Each person gets to be truly free and follow his own rules, with one caveat.

Equilism is the land of the free, as long as you don’t tread on anyone else’s freedom.

This means that while you get to decide what social behaviours are acceptable in your world, every other person gets to decide what social behaviours she wants to accept into her world. People can only interact in compatible ways, which is what everybody wants anyway.

Trust in yourself to decide the appropriate moral code. You don’t really need a skilled, and likely sociopathic, manipulator telling you how to have proper moral conduct!

The public will finally have a way to select specific policies, which is what the original idea of democracy was supposed to be. This is explained more in the chapter on Social Contracts.

With social contracts, elections can be more about selecting the generalized framework and will be a final check and balance to make sure no Hitlers seize dictatorial power along the way.

House architecture versus Interior decorating

Engineer architects it, Owner decorates it.

The infrastructure is the house. Our behaviours are the interior decoration.

Equilism is the newly evolving society which fixes so many of the problems that we all hate, from the lack of a political leader who represents all of the things you stand for, to the accessibility of the justice system, the inability of the environment to stand up for itself and say “ouch” and the dreaded but ever intensifying corruption of cops. All of these problems are solved by equilism.

There is criticism of the legislature because its representatives should correspond to the demographics of the population. If there are 50% women in the population, then the legislative representatives should be half women. If there are 20% black people in the demographic then so too should there be 20% black people among the representatives.

Equilism actually solves this problem implicitly and immediately to the finest degree. In an equilism, you are your own representative. Each person can decide for himself what his own personal social code is going to be and then is free to exist by his chosen moral standards in the micro-community comprised of like-minded individuals. Then the composition of representatives doesn’t matter because they are only designing the bureaucracy and have no authority to create sexist or racist social codes.

The demographic of the political leaders will matter much less because these people will be primarily designing the plumbing of the innards of society, rather than deciding how you wish to be treated socially.

Implementation Details

roviding proper social services for equilist citizens requires assimilating a methodology to understand a person’s psychological complexion. The digital mapping of micro-communities requires the ability to easily and accurately assess individuals to a mathematical precision.

Equilism facilitates a natural and necessary adaptation of society which is in the process of occurring in a de facto but turbulent manner.

This boring chapter contains some important particulars for fully implementing an equilist social model. McPhersonian psychology is a model developed for this purpose.

The specification for this model was developed to a level of mathematical precision over several years of unending arduous research, study, thought experiments and derivations. For the full description, see the companion book on McPhersonian psychology.

The social behaviour of humans is propelled by several fundamental psychological forces. These psychological forces arise as survival mechanisms developed during the generational process of biological adaptation.

Psychologists actually have an ethical duty to help propel forward the needed changes.

Psychology Ethics

An excerpt from the Canadian psychology Code of Ethics addresses social structures and policies:

…if structures or policies seriously ignore or oppose the principles of respect for the dignity of persons and peoples, responsible caring, integrity in relationships, or responsibility to society, psychologists involved have a responsibility to speak out … and advocate for appropriate change to occur as quickly as possible.

Psychologists have an ethical responsibility to society which includes a specific duty to speak out and advocate for changes to the infrastructure since we have now positively identified it as being a terrorist administration.

The full excerpt is as follows:

Canadian Code of Ethics for Psychologists (Fourth Edition)
Approved by the Canadian Psychological Association January 2017

Principle IV: Responsibility to Society

Values Statement

Psychology functions as a discipline within the context of human society. Psychologists, both in their work and as private citizens, have responsibilities to the societies in which they live or work and to the welfare of all human beings in those societies.

Two of the legitimate expectations of psychology as a science and a profession are that it will increase knowledge and that it will conduct its affairs in such ways that it will promote the welfare of all human beings.

Freedom of enquiry, innovation, and debate (including scientific and academic freedom) is a foundation of psychological education, science, and practice. In the context of society, the above expectations imply that psychologists will exercise this freedom through the use of activities and methods that are consistent with ethical requirements.

The above expectations also imply that psychologists will do whatever they can to ensure that psychological knowledge, when used in the development of social structures and policies, will be used for just and beneficial purposes, and that the discipline’s own structures and policies will support those purposes. Within the context of this document, social structures and policies that have just and beneficial purposes are defined as those that more readily support and reflect respect for the dignity of persons and peoples, responsible caring, integrity in relationships, and responsibility to society. If psychological knowledge or structures are used against these purposes, psychologists have an ethical responsibility to try to draw attention to and correct the misuse. Although this is a collective responsibility, those psychologists having direct involvement in the structures of the discipline, in social development, or in the theoretical or research data base that is being used (e.g., through research, expert testimony, or policy advice) have the greatest responsibility to act. Other psychologists need to decide for themselves the most appropriate and beneficial use of their time and talents to help meet this collective responsibility.

In carrying out their work, psychologists acknowledge that many social structures have evolved slowly over time in response to human need and are valued by the societies that have developed them. In such circumstances, psychologists convey respect for such social structures and avoid unwarranted or unnecessary disruption. Suggestions for and action toward changes or enhancement of such structures are carried out through processes that seek to achieve a consensus within those societies and/or through democratic means.

On the other hand, if structures or policies seriously ignore or oppose the principles of respect for the dignity of persons and peoples, responsible caring, integrity in relationships, or responsibility to society, psychologists involved have a responsibility to speak out in a manner consistent with the principles of this Code, and advocate for appropriate change to occur as quickly as possible.

In order to be responsible and accountable to society, and to contribute constructively to its ongoing development, psychologists need to be willing to work in partnership and collaboration with others, be self-reflective, and be open to external suggestions and criticisms about their work and the place of the discipline of psychology in society. They need to engage in even-tempered observation and interpretation of the effects of societal structures and policies, and their process of change, developing the ability of psychologists to increase the just and beneficial use of psychological knowledge and structures, and avoid their misinterpretation or misuse. The discipline needs to be willing to set high standards for its members, to do what it can to assure that such standards are met, and to support its members in their attempts to maintain the standards (e.g., through formative and continuing education, training, supervision, and consultation). Once again, individual psychologists need to decide for themselves the most appropriate and beneficial use of their time and talents in helping to meet these collective responsibilities.

Measuring People

It is necessary to have a classification system to record psychosocial attributes for people and communities.

An N-dimensional vector space with axes for various social policy quanta. A single individual can be described by a point in the vector space.

Typically when plotted and correlated with geographical location, which could be represented simply as two additional dimensions, there will be clusters of points.

Single points not near a cluster indicate poor geographical location for that person, and predict social problems involving that individual unless moved to a geographic or institutional location which contains similar individuals.

The microcosm of this concept simplified to its most basic set of variables is a correctional facility.

The principles generalize to the whole of global society.

A web application can easily elicit and disseminate information about this vector space, as well as detect anomalies and recommend geographic areas for relocation. This could include suitability ratings by calculating distance in the vector space from community average for an individual.

Possible Axes:

Kill / Capital Punishment

Steal / Fraud / Con artistry

Multiple Partners / Monogamy / Polyamory

Diversity Acceptance vs. Bigotry

Homosexuality Allowed

Racial Acceptance / Dominance or Supremacy

Gender Dominance / Equality

Discrimination / Strange, different, disabled etc.

Drug Use – Particular drugs

Corporal Punishment / Assault / Violence

Vengeance or Revenge / Forgiveness

Abortion ?

Taxes / Greed -> All sales tax? Licence to sell given to different group

Government / Anarchy

Mapping Micro-communities

The following smartphone apps are planned to be of use in the uprising of equilism.

Classify – Determine your equilist social contract
Relocate – Find similar people to oneself in a suitable micro-community
Socialize – Find compatible social activities, dating, meetups, etc. HeartGrowFonder source code already done.
Chat – Geographical chat source code, already done

Real-time micro-community information, incompatibility warning pop-ups, etc. Social map of the world. Equilism map.

Sapien Classification Organization (SCO)

The equilism architecture will have a Sapien Classification Organization (SCO). The purpose of this organization will be to maintain an accurate description of each individual’s true social values in order to properly process judicial claims. Somebody can trivially lie about not being a thief, so the SCO will override such false categorizations when necessary. The SCO will also maintain up to date credibility scores. Finally there will be an incentive to tell the truth. People will be able to receive real-time feedback about their credibility rating from the government and work on self-improvement.

Auditing of a person’s chosen social contract can be done using McPhersonian psychology. Credit agencies already track one key component of the psychological spectrum, namely credibility. Similar agencies can be instantiated in order to track the whole person, including each of his psychosocial attributes.

The SCO will develop names for various categories of individuals and their corresponding micro-community. These categories will specify ranges of values for each of the psychosocial attribute axes. Any individual can be empirically tested to determine his approximate psychosocial attributes and to simplify things, he can be described by his corresponding category name.

A comprehensive charter of behaviour can be created and published by the SCO for each identified micro-community, specifying geographical boundaries and the communally accepted behavioural standards within. This will be available to everyone on their mobile device through a central repository with additional information and warning indicators when approaching an incompatible micro-community.

A useful intelligence metric would be the hormonal cycle data for various interconnected groups of homo-sapiens, which could be determined through weather-station style hormone collection. This would be important for certain types of law enforcement and intelligence operations. Timing is everything. Better check the hormone weather.

The Matrix of Last Resort

“We should all be obliged to appear before a board every five years, and justify our existence, on pain of liquidation.”

– George Bernard Shaw

Irreconcilable offenders in several micro-communities will have to be incarcerated of course as a last resort. These offenders will then have the option to retrain themselves, remain incarcerated or voluntarily attach to the Matrix. Those would be the very rare individuals like Charles Manson. There is no need to model the entire system around an approach that works for him and then subject a plethora of people to such massively unnecessary incarceration. Capitalism does this in order to implement a prison industrial complex which is effective to increase the economic well-being of the nation at the expense of individual rights and freedoms.

The Matrix will be a large bioelectric power generation facility, very similar in principle to the one seen in the popular movie.

Each cell in the Matrix will immerse a physical body into a hypnogogic state and use the energies created by the various biological chemical reactions in a human to help power the rest of civilization. This may seem extreme, but keep in mind that it is totally voluntary and only available to the most severe and incorrigible offenders in society. It turns out to be a mutually acceptable solution, far more humane than life or death sentences, and far more economically productive.

The Matrix is a superior option to the psychological torture and economic cost of life sentences. It is more humane than the death penalty and actually generates economic resources rather than draining them. The human life form is a perfectly useful and long-running chemical reaction which converts matter and energy in useful ways.

The program is voluntary because early testing has shown that many individuals actually feel motivated to attach to the Matrix, wishing to return as soon as possible when involuntarily removed. Wouldn’t you rather use the incorrigible pedophiles to power your laptop, than spend money to house and feed and entertain them?

The Matrix is patent pending technology to extract energy from the chemical reactions of the human body while the biological incarnation remains in a state of suspended animation. The most efficient mechanism for this is the use of a pressurized chamber containing normal atmospheric air. This induces a state similar to that experienced by deep-sea divers who use regular tanks of air containing nitrogen rather than inert gases. The high pressure environment creates a denser concentration of nitrogen in the body’s neural tissues. This results in a generalized attenuation of nervous transmission. The mind remains conscious but without input signals from the senses. In order to compensate for the lack of sensory input, the mind creates its own information and processes it accordingly. Subjectively it is like being in a photorealistic dream world which one has a greater degree of control over than the normal waking world and which does not require the laws of physical reality be adhered to. This is the ideal environment for those few individuals whose social code is so distinct and extreme that they find themselves totally isolated.

While the human body exists in this state of suspended animation, various biochemical energies can be captured and converted for use in the global power grid.

The three pronged equilist justice system will help in reporting because that will be handled by a totally different organization than the emergency reponse unit so if a complainant has been terrorized by the emergency responders, he won’t have to interact with them to report an incident and seek justice. Currently, a complainant may be reluctant to report offences because he will have to engage in contact that would trigger PTSD.

Decoupling the power into three prongs will prevent corruption.

With all the power consolidated into a single job description, there is an inherent bias in accepting reports from certain individuals. For instance, anyone who has ever been charged with an offence against a peace officer will find it very difficult to have any complaint taken seriously^[71]. Equilism will facilitate a more independent review of complaints that are based only on a person’s credibility matrix, not on any personal bias.

The police adhere to an unwritten code of non-reporting of wrongdoing of fellow officers. This is the same code of silence that the mafia uses to help them get away with organized crime. It is known as omerta. This has enabled the police to run rampant, getting away with unfathomable abuses for decades. This will be reduced automatically by splitting the power of police. Further culture jamming will be done on this socially destructive internal policy by encouraging whistleblowing. There will be an anonymous reward for audio recordings submitted which show that a government official is spreading the doctrine of omerta. This will apply to all government officials including the new prongs of the police, particularly the emergency responders. The official will be labelled and consequences will be directly proportionate to his level of power within the social infrastructure. Abuses committed by the higher echelons will be treated as being more severe than abuses committed by less influential parties

Labour, Banking, Taxes Unification

Link together a person’s Social Insurance Number with an official government bank account. Employers simply pay through official government channels which debits taxes in real-time. No need to file income taxes – no way to cheat or lie about income – good stats automatically. Sales and taxes would work the same way. At time of purchase, it could be marked as a business expense. Government could keep a tally of your expenses for you. You could have legacy payment cards issued which would be attached to your official account – eg: credit card style or debit card style – until the rest of the world catches up. Could have 2 different cards for the same account one for indicating business expenses, one for personal. Or subaccount labels – purchases would have an extra step of selecting the subaccount label. There would be a special hyphenated suffix for each subaccount label that you could give to employers or people who pay you. Eg: XXXX-A, XXXX-B, etc. This would be for the client’s own personal analytics purposes. Eg: A home renovation sub-label or one for a hobby to keep track of how much it is costing you. Proprietorships and corporate accounts would be completely separate with access to the same labelling features which would be very useful for business tracking purposes eg: calculating ROI on a particular business venture. This would greatly simplify accounting and consolidate it and make it less error prone or subject to abuses. A fully integrated system. Waste would be reduced because you wouldn’t need four different banks on the same city block since all banks would be consolidated into a crown corporation. It would help the deficit since banking profits could go towards health care and education instead of for jets and yachts and mansions and sports cars for bank bigwigs and shareholders. Taxes would be perpetually up to date with adjustments as necessary to balance out any income or expense fluctuations. Tax cheating and unfair shelters for the rich would be a thing of the past. Taxes would be applied at point of transaction based on the type of transaction and type of accounts involved eg: business, personal, tourist. All tourists would be automatically issued a tourist account which they could load up with their foreign currency at any bank or airport exchange kiosk. All transactions would be done through their tourist account, allowing for a different tax rate for incentive purposes, also automatic accurate duty calculation and flawlessly detailed data for stats Canada. This could eventually be transitioned to be used for voting and all government services. This paperless, trackable monetary system would make robbery and tax fraud impossible and easily traceable for the few idiots who attempted it. It would also eliminate cashier errors and frauds. Every mobile computing device could be equipped initially with ID card reader slots and eventually biometric scanners – Camera Iris scanners and thumbprint readers. DNA scanners eventually. A standard app would be a banking transfer app to send funds. Select the type of transfer – retail, service, labour, business expense, etc. Then some custom labels for your personal / business accounting purposes (might as well integrate that with the official government system at point of transaction, rather than necessitating duplication and inefficiency). Then pass the device to the other party in the transaction to do the same on the other end.

Software Engineering Union

There should be a union of software engineers (like there is for actors) and the person who creates software that makes money for a company should get royalties. Many proficient software engineers have created huge projects for companies that makes them a fortune while they make little or nothing in comparison.^[72] This could go into the copyright changes.

Dealing with dangerous people is a lot like handling a gun. Sure, it’s potentially lethal. But so long as you know how to properly handle it and not point it in the wrong direction and push the wrong button, you will be fine.

Unintrusive snooping and Retroactive Warrants to achieve better classification data.

Generalized intellectual property union?

Accountability and Transparency

Equilism will have a special Ministry of Auditing with an auditor general who has special powers to be a watchdog to ensure proper conduct of government employees. The establishment must be protected from those who run it. Corruption harms us all, but it is dangerous to be a whistleblower in today’s society.^[73]

The Ministry of Auditing will take whistleblower statements anonymously, will assume full responsibility for the investigation into the issue and enforce accountability to ensure that similar incidents do not happen again. Whistleblowers will never need to go through the terror, violence, abuse of process and persecution of cover-ups. There will be strong encouragement to blow the whistle, even on powerful players in a corruption scheme.

Global Policy

Allow regimes to make their own rules. Mandate to help move oppressed persons to a regime with a more suitable rule set – especially criminals, without judgement.

In the era of Big Bin Laden, it is necessary to have a Big Brother, but of paramount importance that he have the ethics and conscience of Superman – Drew McPherson August 2012

Other Projects

Another project Drew is working on involves computer science theory. A McPherson Machine is a theoretical device with an arbitrarily large number of simultaneous processors. This is like a Turing machine which has an arbitrarily large processor tape as well as an arbitrarily large memory tape. The inspiration was to model the human mind whose synapses include memory and processing capabilities in the same unit. This should be easy to create using the modern global internet as a single unified processing device. The result of this project will be a generalized system which can solve problems that are NP-complete in polynomial time.

The next phase is to build an R.I. (Real Intelligence) which can pass the McPherson Test. The McPherson test is similar to the Turing Test in that a machine is emulating a human. The augmentation in the McPherson test is that the machine passes the test only if it can emulate a specific human in a way that cannot be distinguished from the real person. This will probably require the creation of consciousness using a feedback loop mechanism. Skynet in the works. Biological life is already in an inter-dependent symbiosis with silicon-based entities. We ought to coalesce with R.I. within half a century.

READER ADVISORY

ARNING: The following true accounts are very graphic. The remainder of the material in this book may be shocking to those who do not know about the inhumane cruelty found inside Canadian jails.

Reader discretion is strongly advised

Epilogue – My Struggle

hese appendices contain descriptions of some of the experiences the author had while he was inside the human Cuisinart that is the Canadian justice system, particularly while imprisoned in Canadian versions of a “concentration camp”.

These are actual writings made during the ordeal and later transcribed for this publication.

Burnside Dispatches

For a while I was publishing articles in an online publication called the Burnside Dispatch. This was a publication describing the conditions at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility, colloquially known as Burnside County Jail.

I tried sending the first article through the mail but it got predictably stolen. All of my mail was being carefully monitored, and most of it was being covertly stolen by staff at the jail without informing me, in contravention of the Correctional Services Act. I had to sneak these articles past the corrupt security staff by reading it over the phone to someone who recorded it with a tape recorder then had it transcribed. Upper management really did not want the public knowing how illegally the staff were behaving or how chaotic, corrupt and inhumane the jail system is.

I published these under the pen name, Phoenix.

Burnside Dispatch Article #7

Let’s say your child has an issue with drugs or alcohol and gets into trouble with the law. When he ends up at Burnside for a short stay, here is what he can expect.

After being processed in admitting he will be put on a lockdown range for the first week or two. The lockdown ranges are not just for new admissions, they are also for the most problematic offenders. So usually the floors are covered in garbage, sprinkler water, human feces and urine, blood, rotting food and milk and random papers.

There is rarely a TV on a lockdown range because it gets smashed very quickly. Sometimes the phones are smashed and unusable. The cells usually stink from shit-bombs going off all the time and are caked in disgusting residue. Nobody is assigned to clean them.

Upon arrival, the most anti-social people on the range will try to manipulate, browbeat and threaten the new guy into popping his sprinkler. This results in sticky black water destroying everything in the cell and coating the occupant with an odorous slime. Also the facility will charge the offender with mischief and put a $600 lien on his canteen account automatically.

If the new guy is going through withdrawals as is often the case, there will be no health care for him. Other offenders will offer him help in the form of puked up methadone or pills that they cheeked earlier. Often times these pills will be laced with cleaning powders or other toxic substances that the inmates have acquired. Once in a while the new person will be offered a lethal overdose unbeknownst to him who thinks the guys are just being helpful. These cases end up in the newspaper, prompting a facility-wide lockdown. Sometimes he doesn’t die though and just ends up with permanent brain damage.

If your son survives all this, then he will likely be called names like “sex-offender”, mutt, goof, rat or “diddler”. Usually that prompts someone on the range to shit-bomb him.

This is all for the sheer amusement of the other inmates.

If he is not involved with any of the local gangs, he will not be allowed out of his cell to shower or use the phone.

If he ends up pulling his sprinkler or getting shit-bombed, the guards will just leave him in it for many days with no clean or dry sheets and no cleaning supplies to deal with the mess.

If someone else pulls a sprinkler all the cells nearby fill up with black water and destroy everything. If all the sprinklers on the outer range get popped, the whole place fills up with an inch or two of the gross water.

If somebody in a cell above you pulls his sprinkler, you will get rained on, wrecking all your clothes and bedding and paperwork.

The inmates control who gets out of their cell and when and for how long. If the guards try to take control they get assaulted or shit-bombed.

The worst behaved inmate will take control of the walled anarchy and get out for several hours while leaving anybody he doesn’t like stuck for days or weeks. Usually you have to pay him canteen or pills in order to get a shower or to avoid being shit-bombed.

The law requires that offenders get 30 minutes of exercise outside their cell per day and 30 minutes of fresh air per day but neither of those are even infrastructurally possible at Burnside.

The guards are only there to walk around every 30 minutes, push sprinkler water down the drain and open a cell when the most anti-social offender (the top dog) tells them to.

When the guard does his 30 minute walk through, everybody yells “6 UP” and the inmates stop talking until he leaves.

If you ask a guard to get out of your cell, you get shit-bombed.

If you tell the guard you got shit-bombed, he ignores you and the other inmates scream at you and shit-bomb you 10 more times while calling you a rat, and a piece of shit.

If you put your clothes into the laundry pickup, they will be cleaned and then dumped on the range. Whoever is out at the time will either steal your clothes or shit in them and put them in your cell for you.

After a couple of weeks of this you might be put on an open range.

Open ranges house 23 inmates but are over-bunked to 32 with many guys sleeping on the floor.

There is a TV in one corner of the range and the most violent offender controls it.

There is usually one video game on the range as well, also controlled by the most violent guy.

If you get any medication or methadone you will usually be forced to give it to somebody under threat of violence.

If you have money in your canteen or phone, the same happens with that.

The only way this stops is if you lash out with extreme violence.

The same goes for services at the facility.

If you have a health issue, you will be ignored, if you ask politely about it.

If you threaten to cause an incident, you will be immediately seen by medical staff and your problem will be taken care of.

If you refuse to comply with the demands of the other inmates you will be beaten up and you have to hide your injuries or else you will be beaten up some more and then put on a lockdown range to deal with that situation for another few months.

In the four years I have been here, there have only been two rapes that I know of so you don’t need to worry about that.

Rapes only happen in the “Protective Custody” area of the jail where they put sex offenders.

The Protective Custody areas are the most dangerous parts and once you check in, you can never check out back to the general population.

The guards in Admitting try to trick you into checking into those dangerous areas by asking “do you require protective custody?” Always answer “NO” to this question. The two rapes that I know of happened because a scared teenager thought the guards would protect him and so he ended up bunking on the floor of a dangerous sex offender’s cell.

The job of the guards is so boring that the more clever of the bunch will try to instigate problems for their own amusement.

Some will accuse a new guy of being a rat or of having done something in violation of the jail code and watch him either get beat up or shit-bombed and laugh. Some guards will even pay off the guy who did it with an extra meal tray.

Some guards seem to see this place as a live cock fight between homo-sapiens; exciting stuff.

Sometimes it is not clear who is more anti-social, the inmates or the guards.

Guards will routinely threaten violence against inmates, and carry out those threats in areas without cameras.

I wouldn’t be surprised if I get the shit beat out of me just for articulating this.

If your loved one makes it through all this to his release date, he will be curtly kicked out the back door with nothing more than a bus ticket, and a serious case of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Keep in mind he was only in here because his coping mechanisms involve the use of substances. This place is like a war zone with nothing to do but drugs and violence.

Even the most myopic person should be able to comprehend that Burnside is reinforcing anti-social coping mechanisms such as violence and the use of substances.

This is 2015 and society’s solution to dealing with violent drug addicts is to force them to stay in a place that conditions them to become more violent and more addicted to drugs.

It should be a crime to support policies like this and the punishment should be a 6 month stay at Burnside. It sure won’t cure a drug addiction but it might just resolve a bad case of social myopia. Unrealistic faith in humanity is about the only thing that Burnside corrections can actually correct.

Burnside Dispatch Article #1

Live from Burnside Correctional this is Phoenix.

In the time that I have been here, one of the most important lessons I have learned is that it is better to have a shit-bomb and not need it than to need a shit-bomb and not have it.

I’m reporting this Gonzo style because I am currently locked down for possession of… you guessed it – fecal ordnance.

Now this shit-bomb was never used on the battlefield but it was inadvertently triggered by a guard, thereby presenting a strong biological deterrent to all those within olfactory range.

Prior to ending up in here for a crime which I actually did not commit, I used to teach elementary school science – like biology and stuff.

Now thanks to the “correction” I have received, I realize that biological waste must sometimes be deployed in self-defence in our neo-medieval torture chambers we call prisons.

If this seems the least bit disturbing to any of you then perhaps we can agree that some significant restructuring needs to take place RIGHT AWAY.

Yes, this IS Canada.

Giving puppies to prisoners is all fine and good but that’s sort of like spending all your money on a new sports car when you don’t even have a pair of shoes. There are bigger problems here people!

For instance, they don’t even have a rudimentary classification system for the psycholo0gical and social profiles of inmates. There is no way to track any progress or behavioural improvements but that hardly matters in light of the fact that NOBODY improves in here.

The only actual categorization is whether you are GP or PC. That technically means “general population” or “protective custody”. In practice there is no real difference other than sexual predators are required to be labelled PC. This results in nothing more than them being shit-bombed on a daily basis when they first arrive and are placed on a lock-down area.

According to the unwritten jail politics, anyone classified as GP who encounters someone in PC is required to immediately launch a full-scale physical attack on the “mutt goof rat piece of shit”.

If it’s not violence, it’s drugs. The biggest source of drugs isn’t even the anal smuggling culture. It’s the nurses and doctors. The number of prescriptions doled out here for unspecified and/or non-existent medical conditions is phenomenal. Medication time in jail is like sprinkling a multi-coloured rainbow of psychoactive smarties into an unsupervised daycare.

For someone like myself who isn’t into drugs, the perpetual running around trading blue pills for yellow ones and eating the red ones last is simply mind-boggling. I am most definitely in the minority so the guards and nurses just allow this behaviour to persist despite all the damage it causes. It certainly reinforces substance dependence – sure there’s not much else to do in here. But watch out when someone gets their hands on some tranquilizers. Those are notoriously known as violence pills because any inmate who gets on a sufficient dosage of the “nerve pills” instantly turns into Hacksaw Jim Duggan or Hulk Hogan.

The sad irony is that I am someone who genuinely requires proper medication and health care for my femoral non-union (a broken leg in layman’s terms). So I need this illicit trade of medications because they simply will not give me the actual health care I require because they are far too busy servicing the dangerous drug addicts. So the only way to get slight relief from the torturous pain is to trade my meals for meds. Go hungry or go in pain. Not a pleasant choice I assure you.

Now let’s not kid ourselves, this is not a simple cut-and-dried problem that can be solved at one at one layer of government or even within this institution alone.

This is a provincial facility so the offenders serving time here are out in less than two years. That’s really not enough time to correct a dysfunctional fully grown adult.

Anyone who has raised children knows about the terrible twos when you have to put your foot down and instill a little discipline despite the screaming tantrums. There can be no giving in and rewarding bad behaviour even though it stops the behaviour in the short term. That just reinforces the fact that acting up gets results. This is why most of these people ended up in here.

So they have the social maturity of a 2 year old but the physical body of a 20 year old. That can be a dangerous combination and takes way more than 2 years to correct, in most cases.

Past history with some inmates here has demonstrated that staff who stand firm in trying to instill discipline will have to confront an angry offender on the outside in less than two years. These people released on their mandatory release dates – whether they are corrected or not.

So for the sake of staff safety, bad behaviour MUST be rewarded. Scary but true.

There are at least two ways to solve this problem but it requires political change on the federal AND provincial levels.

The easiest solution is to go the route that the USA has taken, which the Harper conservatives are working overtime on.

Three strikes and you are permanently inserted into the Matrix. The almighty prison industrial complex is just another term for modern slavery. Pretty soon people will just be hooked up to machines that use their bio-thermal and neuro-electrical energy as a human battery.

It’s a lot easier to get away with this by targeting minorities. Fewer people to actually SEE it happening to a loved one and complain.

The other obvious solution would be a dynamic progress-based system with no fixed release dates but rather objective scientific metrics, to determine placement and incremental freedoms.

In fact I have an entire sociological architecture in mind with a major overhaul to the policing and justice systems, called equilism.

But that is a topic for another article.

In the meantime, you may be an equilist and not even know it ☺

Habeas Corpus

The following is an excerpt from an actual court pleading from a Habeas Corpus application that I submitted to the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia as an attempt to achieve relief from the horrific conditions I was enduring. The attempt failed.

Hfx. No. 427553

Filing Date: June 6, 2014

NOTICE FOR HABEAS CORPUS

I am Drew MacPherson. I have been remanded on charges relating to a motor-vehicle collision in which I was the passenger. I have not been allowed to have a bail hearing. This has been ongoing since October 2011. I have been repeatedly subjected to arbitrary sanctions even within the correctional facility.

On May 4, 2014 I was locked into my cell without being told why. Two days later I was moved to a permanent lockdown / segregation area of the facility. In this area I am confined to my cell for at least 23 hours a day. Some days I am allowed out for 30 minutes or 60 minutes at most to shower and use a phone which can call Legal Aid or collect calls to other numbers. I am never allowed to have any access to fresh air. I am not allowed to do laundry so I wash my clothes in the sink. Many days in a row I will not be allowed out to shower and if I ask to be let out I am threatened with “shit-bombing” which is when an inmate takes a bottle of urine and feces and squirts it through the crack of your small cell door into your tiny cell, often soaking your disclosure, your bed sheets, your clothes and skin and walls and floor and any food or personal property you have with liquid feces. The guards allow this to happen and some of them even find it humorous while other guards and captains threaten to put inmates on a lockdown range to be shit-bombed. Some guards even encourage inmates to carry out shit-bombings on particular inmates and tell them they will not receive any sanctions for doing this.

About twice a week, someone will pull a sprinkler either in an attempt to avoid being shit-bombed or to clean up the mess after a shit-bombing. When the sprinkler is on the top tier, it rains black oily water through my ceiling. The water always flows into my cell even from sprinklers on the bottom and leaves and oily mess an inch or two deep, destroying any documents, clothing or property on the floor of the cell. Occasionally someone will “go off” and smash all the sprinklers on the outside wall of the range which fills the entire area with inches of black oily water.

There is no supervision whatsoever and staff often egg on the worst behaved inmates to get them to behave even worse for their own personal entertainment.

Every new offender with sex-related charges is first put onto a shit-bomb range to be covered with several shit-bombs prior to moving him to a range in protective custody. This is standard procedure.

It smells extremely strong and awful every time a shit-bomb goes off regardless of how far away from it you are. The entire range of 16 cells is only about 50 feet across. The guards sometimes wear face masks when doing their 30 minute walk-around because the place smells so bad.

This kind of environment would be railed against by animal rights groups if a facility for animals was this bad but for some reason it is deemed acceptable for humans, probably because the public has no awareness of what really happens behind closed doors here. Maybe it is because the terror that stigmatized people are subjected to is tolerated or sadistically enjoyed by the public.

I tried to have my laundry done but instead of returning my laundry, staff gave me a bag with underwear covered in feces in it. It wasn’t even my laundry.

The floor is constantly covered in a layer of garbage / trash as inmates just throw it onto the floor in front of their cell and someone bats it around obnoxiously.

While in custody, I have not been provided with the health care services required for my broken leg and other injuries related to the car accident and related to beating by guards.

My femur fracture resulted in a non-union as a result of not receiving after-care such as physiotherapy, and the beatings and wheelchair tippings. The guards used to beat me and tip me from the wheelchair for fun to watch me crawl on the floor for months at a time. The non-union means that the leg is permanently broken with the associated continuous pain.

The intra-medullary nail in my leg has had screws snap that were holding it in after I was beaten several times by guards and tipped from my wheelchair and forced to crawl on the floor for months and months being called a “Swiffer” until I went on a 28 day hunger strike. They thought I was going to die from not eating a single thing for that entire time.

The orthopaedic surgeon tells me the implant could fracture and I would require emergency medical care which is not available here so I guess I would just die if that happens. I have to live with that knowledge on a daily basis.

I can’t get the surgery I need because it will require after-care which is not available and so I would be permanently disfigured as a result. The driver of the vehicle has admitted to being in the car that night, he has described the drive which he characterizes as a “wild ride” and he has admitted to having his fingerprints on the steering wheel and to running home that night to 1663 Henry Street. He wrote a letter describing all of this in detail which is in possession of Henry Singer, also of 1663 Henry St in Halifax.

I was unconscious at the time of the car accident and for 5 hours prior as a result of something given to me to drink by Michael Lamoureux. This is why I believe this is not merely a car accident but a homicide. I feel like I am not safe if I leave the protection of 24 hour camera surveillance. It is charted in my medical records that a man showed up at the hospital after the “accident” and was asking questions and left a note stating “Karma ☺”.

The man who poisoned me had me sign a power of attorney document which seemed odd at the time.

I have never had a drinking problem in my life and I had nothing to drink that day beyond whatever Michael Lamoureux gave me which was obviously not alcohol seeing as I fell unconscious 30 minutes later. There was no alcohol in my possession that I could have drank in any case, besides which I had explicitly decided not to drink that day and I am certainly not in the habit of consuming a large amount of alcohol in one sitting.

The property police claim to have found at the scene was seized and allegedly in the property room on Sept. 13, 2011, 2 ½ weeks earlier. The beer bottles the police allegedly found were floating in mid-air and invisible according to the evidence police collected. Thus I believe there is some wrongdoing in the police investigation of this incident. The type of beer bottle found is a type of beer I have never had and yet it was discovered that the officer who supposedly “found” it (despite pictures showing it wasn’t there and the fact that it would have to be defying gravity) drinks that type of beer.

Furthermore, I was living in a house of 8 people, but police didn’t speak to any of them, despite being mentioned in my medical records they subpoenaed and despite one of them having been the driver of the vehicle. Instead, police issued a press release claiming I was homeless.

I have been restricted and prevented from being able to swear any affidavits to obstruct justice and prevent me from suing the facility for all of their wrongdoing. Also my court documents are sometimes seized and destroyed by Chris Dixon and Lisa Pick to prevent me from achieving judicial relief.

There is no access to any legal resources, case precedents or usual material that a self-represented litigant would require. I have managed to get some forms through a “printing error”. I do not have a copy of the criminal code.

I have not received any video disclosure as promised years ago. I did not receive a single picture until almost 2 years after. I have received no audio disclosure.

Each lawyer I gave any documents to has stolen them, refusing to return them. This includes Lonny Queripel, Cameron MacKeen, Eugene Tan and Lyle Howe although Lyle has stated he will return my documents, the others refuse to return my documents to me.

All lawyers have refused to collect any evidence, like traffic cam photos of the driver, toxicology to determine what I was poisoned with and prove that I was physically unconscious at the material time or statements from my roommates or the letter from Henry Singer or the 911 calls and statements from the “other men” who saw Jonas in the car. Lonny Queripel refused to contact any of my sureties or do a bail hearing. The lawyers also refused to hold police to account by demanding they produce the two seized sets of identical property simultaneously.

The newspaper printed lies stating that I had fired 8 lawyers and listed all the duty counsel who represent people for one day only, to make it look like I was being unreasonable.

The really creepy thing about this is that it is the second time I was in the process of warning people about an online pedophile network I accidentally stumbled upon years ago and was traumatized by. The first occasion was in March 2009 when a man drove up to me on the street, got out of his car and without saying a word, began beating me across the back of the head with a weapon. Police arrived immediately after he had disposed of his weapon and as I stood there bleeding, police arrested ME, saying to me in a creepy monotone, “there was no weapon, you fell and hit your head, you are going to jail”. They released me the next morning after I was found alive despite being denied medical treatment for a possible concussion. I didn’t even get a ticket or any kind of explanation for anything.

The individual I was warning people about on both occasions has been stalking me according to FOIPOP (freedom of information) requests. This individual has been trying to find out my release date and address for where I will be living. By providing fraudulent information and manipulating correctional staff, this stalker successfully breached my privacy and got my information.

Up until 2013 anybody could have just gone to 1663 Henry Street and picked up the perpetrator and gotten witness statements from the other 6 roommates.

I strongly suspect my lawyers were tampered with by Brenda Ethier.

Had I actually been guilty of the offence, I would have been out of jail long ago and though I’d not be permitted to teach elementary school, I’d be working on my international peace project, equilism, running my social improvement websites and community groups, attending my MENSA meetings and Tae Kwon Do classes, helping to teach the kids class on occasion, running my government expenses watchdog and finishing my two upcoming books which is now a series of soon-to-be several books on psychology and social policy.

Also I would’ve paid off the $100,000 I borrowed to build all my social improvement projects over the past several years.

I strongly suspect the crown is aware that I am not only innocent but the victim of the incident, which is certainly not a mere car accident, but more likely a homicide. The crown has never made any offer to settle the charges, nor made any claim as to what they propose occurred which of course would have to be physically impossible for the charges to be valid, also the crown is aware of the man who was driving and the witnesses with evidence to prove it but stood up in court when asked to issue a subpoena and said “We have no interest in tracking these people down”.

Instead the crown alleged I was unfit to stand trial, had a psychiatrist create and assessment with complete lies in it which can be proved to have originated from the individual I suspect is behind the homicide and when I sued the doctor for negligence, the crown charged me for attempting to communicate to resolve the charges and have the perpetrator subpoenaed, claiming that my frustration expressed over the situation was somehow intimidating.

I dare say ANYONE in their right mind would be intimidated when a man gives something to drink in a suspicious but friendly manner and you wake up broken in hospital, puking up blood, then nobody will find out how that happened or even talk to the people who claim to have been involved in the incident and instead drag on an endless proceeding with physical impossibilities while you are brutally abused inside a detention facility for years on end and your entire life’s work, a Nobel peace project, is destroyed in the process.

I should not have ignored my instinctual gut feeling that something bad was about to happen with Michael Lamoureux, but I was terrified that somebody would think I was paranoid and try to put me on the drug that almost killed me in 2004, which is what they were trying to do to me at the East Coast Forensic Hospital while I wa deemed to be “unfit for trial”. How many unfit people have hand-written Supreme Court civil lawsuits, served them and appeared on motions for same?

I should have taken Lamoureux’s cocaine addiction seriously and been more active in distancing myself from the situation when he began screaming and ranting at the top of his lungs and would come out all glassy-eyed and vibrating.

I should have known better than to sign a power of attorney and should have been more weirded out when he started asking weird questions about my web crawler and proxy software and how much money it was making.

I should have known better than to trust anyone in a position of authority over me. So perhaps I deserve this torture and abuse for being a socially naïve autistic person who trusts evil people too easily. I suppose this will always happen so long as evil people (or terrorists as they are known) are allowed to have control over Canada’s infrastructure.

I feel that you’ve damaged justice by forcing me to release all of this information about the homicide investigation.

I don’t even know what it is you are trying to correct. I would never do anything unfathomably stupid like drink and drive, and I am not much of a drinker. I often come across brew in jail but I sell it to others for pen, paper and envelopes so I can try to get this case going.

My only guess is that whoever decided to blame this tragic crime on me saw that the only thing on my record was being put in the “drunk tank” but the fact is I wasn’t even drunk and it was a sleazy political way to get out of overcharging me at a business and to help the men who attacked me on various occasions to get away with it. I was in the process of raising a constitutional challenge and taking civil action against the police for that, now seemingly minor infraction.

I was a whistleblower and part of me can’t help but wonder if that has anything to do with this. I had attended a strange incomprehensible “free” movie for whistleblowers shortly before the incident where all one had to do was provide their personal information for a free ticket. The Chronicle Herald reporter Clare Mellor was about to do an article about my government expenses project, as mentioned in MacLean’s magazine and a lot of other media, but she emailed me to say that the story had been shut down and she warned me that “forces are out to get me” which I shrugged off. In retrospect I should have paid more heed to that weird sequence of events. The deceased individual who I have been framed for killing was working for the Chronicle Herald as a “retirement job”.

I also should have asked what was in the bottle that Michael Lamoureux got from his toolbox in his office and came and poured into my cup. He was being so seemingly nice and understanding and distracting though and was in a position of authority so I didn’t even question it.

All I want is for the guy who did this to be caught so I can live without constant terror and get back to my social improvement projects, in peace. I would go and bring him before justice myself but you have me locked inside a cement box without the most basic freedoms like being able to shower or have basic hygiene. The floors are often caked with feces, urine and blood which was really gross when they were tipping me out of my wheelchair and making me crawl on the floor for months.

Dr. Neilson was concerned not with my mental health but rather relentlessly digging up what evidence I had against the perpetrator and threatening to hold me as unfit until I agreed to not prove who committed the crime. She then perjured herself when asked about Brenda Ethier and the source of the rocketry reference in the civil action.

This whole situation feels so messed up that I have e3ven tried sending requests asking for help to bring about justice to all sorts of groups and political figures but they block most of my mail. I even considered refugee status because this all feels like terrorist activity against me, but nobody will help with anything. I first and foremost just want to know how I almost died and why. How did alcohol get into my system or are they just lying about that? If that’s not a lie like the rest of their story then it had to come from somewhere. The roommate who claims to have been with me all night and in the car should know this. Also, why would he get in a car if I was driving under the influence; that makes no sense, also he had no reason to be in that car unless he was dropping me off. Besides, how did I end up in a car while I was laying unconscious from being poisoned? How could a person be driving his roommate around while he is physically unconscious? That is insane. I question whether the investigators and prosecutors are fit to be participating in this trial.

Why is everybody refusing to solve this crime? This is not difficult. Got and get the other guy who was in the car. One of us had to have been driving! He was living with me at 1663 Henry Street last I knew but you’ve had me in a cement box so long that I have no idea what’s going on in the world anymore.

Maybe that is why you have kept me locked up so long ago, because I would have just gone and gotten the guy who did it if I was allowed. The fact that staff have told met here is an organized crime connection in this case worries me but could explain the actions of certain people, like how the prosecutor has gone out of his way to destroy crucial evidence, like the seized CO2 cylinders and prevent witnesses from being subpoenaed or the perpetrator apprehended and making sure plenty of time passes so that memories are unreliable.

I don’t know what more I could have done to get this case moving. I have about 25,000 pages of documentation of attempts I have been desperately making inside this cement box to facilitate justice.

The Sheriffs block me from seeing a JP to file my Rowbotham app or lay an information and threaten to “bash my face in”. The crown refuses to respond to any inquiry or request for subpoena and accuses me of being too crazy for trial for almost a whole year – 2 years into it! Then when that doesn’t work, charges me for writing letters to try and get the case moving and prevent myself from being “restrained and injected” with a lethal substance, all the while I’m not knowing where the bottleneck is or if any of my mail is even getting through and so start experimenting to see where the problem is because this is beyond ridiculous and I’m busy fearing for my safety on a daily basis that I forgot what it felt like to feel safe or not be in constant pain from walking on a broken leg they won’t fix.

I even got a copy of my bank records to determine if any purchases had been made by me or by somebody using my car that day. There were no purchases. So I considered the possibility that I was somehow semi-functional while unconscious but I can find NO evidence to suggest that I had been taking any actions after I lost consciousness 30 minutes subsequent to drinking whatever Michael Lamoureux gave me as he sent me home early for reasons I initially thought were empathetic but now in retrospect have to question, and had I trusted my suspicions of his odd behaviour I might have averted whatever happened, but given that they tried to do this in 2009, it was likely to happen again, especially since my sister now knew about the evidence I had found and was traumatized by so many years ago.

Somebody needs to tell me what I can do to facilitate justice because I am extremely limited inside this cement box but a serious crime was committed and justice needs to finally happen!

I am appalled that the investigation into September 30, 2011 has not yet even begun! I have done all I can from within a cement box but nobody else seems interested in getting to the truth!

I will never rest until the truth comes out and justice is done.

Surviving Solitary Confinement

I wrote these during my first 6.5 months in continuous solitary confinement, with no natural light, no fresh air, no exercise, with a broken leg that was being neglected. This was immediately after I was “kidnapped” from the hospital, still with serious physical injuries requiring medical treatment that was ultimately denied for 6 years. I was left with a broken leg for six years.

The physical torture was more brutal than anything you can imagine, but it paled in comparison to the psychological torture of solitary confinement combined with the knowledge that I had barely survived an attempt on my life, the killers were still out there and I was being framed in the aftermath to cover it all up, combined with the fact that my entire life’s work, my equilism social improvement project which is so important that it is equivalent to being my “children”, as well as everything I had left in the world was being left for dead, ravaged, stolen, destroyed.

The physical torture was actually a relatively pleasant distraction from all of this which gives you an idea of how truly devastating it has been. I have suffered such severe neurotoxic brain damage as a result of all this that I now cannot even function unless I take high doses of powerful psychiatric medications.

Surviving Prison Life [renamed Surviving Solitary Confinement]
Date Unknown [written sometime around December 2011 – February 2012]

[I originally titled this “surviving prison life” because at the time, solitary confinement was all I knew. It really should be called “surviving solitary confinement”.]

The first thing you should know about solitary confinement is that it is a lot easier than the outside world. There are fewer rules and they work a lot more often than the complex, sometimes annoying, often perplexing mosaic of situations and outcomes in the rest of life. It is my suspicion [to confirm with stats] that diseases of affluence are few and far between amongst inmates. In a sense, solitary confinement is a cure for cancer.

One of the most important and effective first rules you will need is to keep your head down and your mouth shut, especially at the beginning. First impressions are important as always. By being a bit reclusive, you make yourself out to be a bit of a wildcard and seasoned prison people have learned not to mess with a wildcard.

Sometimes you may get discouraged or bored, especially when having to deal with certain guards, someof whom are pure evil and should be avoided at all costs. If you have a run-in with one of tehse sociopaths or if you simply find yourself succumbing to boredom and thinking that suicide would at least be something to do and perhaps change the scenery a bit, here are a few tips:

Find things you like that you can look forward to. Perhaps they give out coffee at periodic intervals and you can anticipate its arrival. Maybe there’s a certain cute female guard you like to flirt with that you can think about. You could daydream and imagine a nice time you had or think of something you’d love to do and imagine what it would be like. Learn to love the little pleasures in life and make them a central focus. If they let you have cards, play card games regularly to pass the time. The important thing is to get your mind on something productive or at least distant. Think about a far off land you have never been to and imagine exploring it to see what you find.

Try an old autistic trick: stimming. Stimming is generally just performing a repetitive motion over and over again, sometimes for hours at a time. You might sit and rock back and forth or shake your foot or leg. You could tap your fingers or move them around. You could swing your arms around or shake your head about. This releases physical stress and tends to distract your mind from whatever is going on around you. It can help a lot when you don’t get to move around a whole bunch.

Think of it as an all-inclusive resort. Really let’s face it, you get free room and board, all meals and beverages are included and served to you by staff. You don’t have to work your ass off for fear of being fired. There are no bills to pay, no groceries to select or purchase, no taxes to worry about and stress over, none of the complicated life situations to agonize over. You don’t have to worry about being evicted or having the bank repossess your house and becoming homeless. There are no home maintenance concerns, like replacing the roof or other expenses. The staff are basically there to wait on you hand-and-foot, bringing you meals and meds when you’re hungry and thirsty, cutting your hair, getting you things you need or want, basically being at your beck-and-call. The staff are basically incarcerated also, but have to service the wants and needs of the offenders plus worry about all the external hassles, stresses and concerns. There is no way around this, they definitely have the shit end of the stick. Plus they have to put up with regular abuses by the violent or mentally ill offenders.

Recognize that economics put you here. Let’s face it, everybody is guilty of a lot of things. Most people are so completely hostile, dishonest, thieving and would step on your sick grandmother if it would help them get away with screwing you over. In reality, most people truly deserve to be in jail. The problem is that would cost too much and there wouldn’t be anybody left to be guards, let alone run the rest of society. So since most people are so rotten and deserve incarceration without all the privileges of being waited on, they just did it backwards. In reality, it is a reward to get to be in an all-inclusive establishment that is way safer than the rest of the world. You should be thankful of the privilege and extra cordial and nice to the guards who are there to be your slaves that you don’t even have to pay.

Meditate: (eg: find a focus) Learn about meditation and practice it. A common technique is to focus on your breathing and repeat a calming phrase in your head with each breath such as “peace of mind, calm of body” with eyes closed.

How to get things you want.

One might think that simply asking for something basic like a bar of soap or pen and paper would be effective. This is not the case. Some officers will be helpful. You may even find one who has manners and apologizes and makes amends for accidentally neglecting you. Others, usually most of them will be of no help whatsoever. You could be dying on the floor and they would just walk by. Some may even try to make things worse. You will quickly discover which are which. Fortunately your life is simple and there is a general rule for all of these variations. Politely ask your request, even say please and thanks in advance. If the request is not honoured, ask again. Be even more polite, nicer, sickeningly sweet. Quite a few of the bastards that deny your request can’t handle niceness and try to trigger negative or violent reactions in you. It will be difficult to avoid acting out. You may want to shit-bomb every last one of those putrid motherfuckers. But practice your meditation and avoid sarcasm. This will make you out to be the good guy, and the staff member’s reputation will worsen, even if you are the only person who knows how mean he is. People wear their reputations no their outsides, as if tattooed to their forehead. If you have been nothing but nice, and he has been nothing but nasty, people will eventually notice. Patience is the key. You can make a game out of it. Count the number of requests for each officer. Try using slightly different ways of asking each time. Maybe ask with a serious tone one time, then ask with a laughing tone and so on. Make sure it is always pleasant and nice so that your reputation tattoo on your forehead improves each time. Take note of the date and times the requests were made (eg: 8:30am Dec 15 – asked for TP) and fill out a complaint form. See if your lawyer can help you with writing a letter to the superintendent about your treatment. Remember, you still have rights even if you are incarcerated.

Justice in Canada
January 16, 2012

My research into Canadian justice is complete. There is no legitimate mechanism to achieve justice in Canada. Neither civil, nor criminal on either end of the process. I had hoped that it was at least possible, even if extremely difficult, but that is not the case. Short of completely reorganizing the judiciary, there is no point in even spending any time trying to go about seeking recourse or restitution through any legitimate process. The only thing that an ethical person can do is carry on, accepting this fact, and try to duck whenever the blades of cruel injustice start swinging. So as I sit here, contemplating the likelihood that every person I reach out to wishes to see me fail, even (and maybe especially) my parents, I feel a certain freeness. For up to this point I had devoted the entirety of myself to the noble cause of helping others – at my own expense. So if others want to see me fail to help them, then that frees me up. No sense in a Jew joining the Nazi civil service. It’s like when that girl I had never met said horrible things about me and so I shut down the social group which I had been pouring my energies into for other people’s benefit. Nobody said “no, don’t do it”, not even my partner – although she later turned out to be pure evil. Somehow I knew this would happen. Somehow I knew, deep down, how evil other people are. I mean I guess I’d have to be stupider than average to not have figured it out by now. What ironic timing. I had just finished pouring all of my time, energy, money and credit into helping others, including my boss who date-rape drugged me and nearly got me killed. It’s really not possible to be more righteous of deed. Yet I don’t go around boasting this fact, partly out of humility (more righteousness) and partly out of the awareness that it would only draw more vehement attacks from the terrorists in this society. From Tofino to St. John’s, this is the most evil place I’ve found. I suppose that is why I picked it for the final battle of good vs. evil.

I have determined that this is exactly how holocaust victims felt. The worst ones – the ones that were taken from their families and tortured. I feel it started in childhood when my family turned on me and became my tormentor. It has culminated in this agony of pain and suffering and false charges that are the result of actions taken by Michael Lamoureux. I think I finally understand what hatred means. It sure took enough abuse for a long time to get there, which I guess is just one of the traits of a saint. A saint enduring holocaustic abuse finally discovers hatred. That would be news if these people weren’t stupid. But if they weren’t stupid, I wouldn’t be going through this.

I’ve given credit far too many times only to have it completely backfire on me that I guess I’d have to be stupid to keep giving credit where it is not due – everywhere and to everyone. If I ever get out of here I can’t assume it is somebody finally doing the right thing but I suppose I must assume it the idiots’ next step in causing me harm. Yet I sit here toiling away, accumulating all answers to all major problems humanity faces today and in the next centuries. If all these answers came out at once, it’d severely disrupt the dysfunctional flow of economics built around the shitty band-aid and in some cases causative “solutions” of today. Of course there is a clever network of stiflation established, damning the flow of good ideas for diversion, theft and outright repression.

Tally so far:

I have contributed more helpful goodness to the world than most people ever will their entire lives or would even be capable of.

I have suffered more victimization from the world than most people will ever have to endure their whole lives.

I have received less reward and compensation for my positive contributions than a person working at the dollar store.

I have never once, not ever had a single iota of recourse or restitution for all of the victimization suffered and so little empathy, sympathy or support that most people get more when they stub their toe.

Research Notes re: Judicial Process

Apparently it is standard procedure to tack on phony charges, which I didn’t know, didn’t expect and which fills me with great disdain. The level of respect that a reasonable person ought to have for these policies and those who carry them out is far lower than any acceptable standard. The reason this has yet to come to light is because media is on board with defaming, dehumanizing and silencing those who are subjected to these judicial abuses. If the model standard of conduct we have to look up to involves abuse of process, inhumane treatment and downright lies, what are we to expect of the common person?

It doesn’t take much in our corrupt system for a Good Samaritan to be completely destroyed by a few bullies who wield the power abusively. For instance, to call up an ex and ask for the money owed for a vehicle she stole and tell her to stop abusing her defenceless toddler son is apparently a crime. To call another ex who has turned to prostitution as a career move in the town where Robert Pickton wreaked his terror and to tell her to stop having “Johns” over to her house while her 2 year old son is sleeping in the next room, lest she or him were to be harmed or killed is also apparently, a crime.

I heard a story about a woman who was having an argument with the father of her child and asked him to go for a drive down a back road. She put a serrated steak knife in her purse and when they got far down the dirt road she said “Aw come here and give me a hug”. So he did and she plunged the knife into his gut and ripped it all the way up, rupturing his spleen, then got back in the Jeep Cherokee and drove off. His friends were driving down the road and saw him and saved him or else he would have died. He dared not try and press charges against her because the police would have ignored it and instead charged him with vandalising her steak knife with his spleen.

Another man got 3 months in jail for assaulting a woman with a weapon. The weapon? A stream of water from a squirt gun.

When it has gotten to the point that I, the kindest, gentlest, sweetest guy is subjected to such abuses by a violent, vindictive woman who without even a hint of remorse or moment of hesitation, pushes me over and kicks me in the back so hard that my spine was damaged and I couldn’t even walk for three days, all because she had had a bad day and I was offering her cuddles to console her, it has gone way too far. This kind of woman doesn’t like cuddles, she likes subjecting guys who love her to violent treatment, be it physical, emotional or judicial.

What I learned as a result of the Correctional Services I received in Dartmouth, NS:

Public officials are totally corrupt

Violence is not merely a valid solution, it is often times the ONLY solution

Violence is far more efficient and effective a resolution technique than any other method

Takes less time
Costs less
Easier
Achieves better results
Repercussions of using violence include an all-expenses paid vacation to a facility where there is nothing to do but play games, work out, watch TV and practice violent techniques and learn more effective violent methods

Selfishness Commandments

Do unto all things such that those things will want to be on your side when you really need them to, and help you to achieve your needs

Selflessness Commandments

Do unto all things as will help those things when they really need it

Common Principles

Respect and nourish the environment/substrate which nourishes and sustains you

Respect and be fair with others in your environment until they betray you – then destroy them

Mar. 20, 2012

Today it cannot be denied any longer. Canada is a terrorist nation. I don’t know if the rest of the world is like this, but it is clear beyond words that domestic terrorism is the bread and butter that dominates unwritten rule in my very own country. Fear, death and destruction are the primary elements of the lifeblood that courses through the heartbeat of this society. A reversion to primitive mechanisms of social hierarchy is not just possible, not merely probable, but imminent and has already occurred here on the east coast. Affluence created, manifested and made possible by the very people who are now being terrorized has allowed this all to happen.

This is reminiscent of the holocaust.

The aspie frog helped the neurotypical scorpion to cross the river to reach the greener pasture beyond, and was stung midway across. The early creators of technology should have built in a failsafe that could be triggered in the event this happened. NTs should never have been allowed to have control of anything technology related. They should have been left in the jungle where they belong or brought into the safe haven of society ONLY to serve as slaves, and not allowed any privileges or access to anything that could allow them to cause this kind of havoc.

After the incident that almost got me killed because my suspicions which turned out to be true were labelled as “paranoid” and I was drugged nearly to death, I am now paranoid to be labelled “paranoid” and so act as though I can trust everybody for fear that if I am found to be suspicious of someone’s intent, that it will all happen again. The last time I was rightfully suspicious of someone’s intent, they drugged me and I nearly died. So my choices were to either be suspicious that my boss was trying to drug me, and get drugged and probably die as a result, or assume and act as though he’s not, and hope for the best.

May 2, 2012

[This was written the day I finally came out of the dungeon and saw natural light and other things for the first time in who knows how long]

I look outside for the first time in what seems like years but may only be months. I see cloudy sky, natural light, trees, grass even. I see a robin eating a worm. It must be spring. I can’t stand the sight of all this. It tears me apart, like sitting in my room that my parents moved me to one day without my knowledge or consent when I was out with a friend for once, Chris Bloomfield, locked up in my room for God only knows what ridiculous reason, something I didn’t even do probably. There is a crow that flies to a lamp post with a security camera attached. I put my face up to the window after carefully crawling up to the concrete slab from my wheelchair. The crow seems to see me and flies away towards the right where he came from. The crows are my only friends now after I fed them all summer three years ago. God! It’s been three years since I sat on my balcony overlooking the harbour and felt a sense of tainted satisfaction about having built a peace-project business out of nothing, singled-handedly by myself like the Little Red Hen, despite asking and trying to collaborate with people at each step along the way, on each of the individual projects. I don’t know which is better or worse. They took me out of my dank cocoon of a cell where time was meaningless and there was no way to see my own reflection. I saw my handsome properly proportioned, short-haired, short-bearded, tidy face for the first time in … many months at least. I can’t remember the last time I saw me. I look good, healthy, well balanced, physically fit weight-wise, but I’ve lost a lot of muscle in my legs from not using them. The fuckers who did this to me cross my mind. That coke-head boss with the glassy eyes and ever-red nose, the cops who planted evidence and attacked ME-the victim instead of the killer software thief.

Writing seems to flow and my tears stifle and time goes la-la-la. I think about Erin-of course-how shocking it must’ve been for her to come suddenly out of her cocoon-terrifying in this badass scary world. There’s tender pork roast here but I don’t know if I will eat it. The guard came to see if I was done, but I hadn’t even started. I took one bite of the potato and realized I’m not even hungry. There’s no fork or spoon.

The woods remind me of childhood in the forest behind our house or the field across from Provost st, next to the lumber yard that seemed like a planet away. But was the next thing down the highway. I feel reborn. One of the other inmates, sorry “offenders”, was talking to me through the door like a kid and I feel like one myself. That’s how I should have been a kid, but I was crazy shy. And SMALL. I’m big now and not shy.

They say some guy died and claim it was my fault. I don’t know anything about that and am not sure how I feel about repeating this unsubstantiated rumour that seems so unlikely to have any grain of truth to it.

I thought about the girl in the book “Dreams are not enough”, Alyssia del Mar who vomited over a spiky cactus when she found out that her love of her life was dead. That’s how I felt a moment ago- it’s as if I’m dead and being reborn. Two books now-that one & Lady Boss by Jackie Collins- were about an under privileged girl who grows up to be a movie star. 1987 was the year both were published I think. I fell in love with the sweet sentimentality of both characters, and realized it was the gypsy-hippie look/attitude that I fell for in Lori. I’ve been wondering why in hell I passed up beautiful, nice Rachel to try and go for Lori who wasn’t even into me. It was the gypsy exotic thing.

There are no more crows. My food is untouched. I can see how Erin found just mindlessly writing those lines relaxing. I really wanted to build communication with her but she was too unaccustomed to it to handle it. Crazeee-but she’s probably way worse now that she’s gone back to her old bad habits/addiction of fleeing the world. Same as a drug really. I think the sun is brightening. It’s probably longer days now but I’d have no way of knowing, having been cooped up for so long.

I might fast for a while. I’ve got plenty of fat on my gut to last for a while. It’s getting brighter on the shed where the sun is gleaming through.

There goes the Sheriff vans back to court, empty. They came earlier, well I saw one of them arrive anyway. It’s cold in here. But there’s sunlight. I teared up when I first saw it but adaptation seems to have been quick. The trick is to let it flow and direct it at creativity, like writing I guess or maybe drawing if that’s your thing.

I don’t know if I’ll eat this food.

Seeing my own reflection for the first time in months is like rebirth. I wonder if that’s how narcissus felt. I look good with super short hair. Strange I never did that before, even just to try, to see what my own head looks like under there. I woulda got waaaay more girls in school- that’s for sure, but my parents never got me to experiment like that with my hair. Fucking salon stylist- what the HELL mother- that is SO not cool, like ever. “Oh so and so at QES is a boy and he got a perm and it looks good so I take that as my whole life philosophy now”- what the fuck. I wish I had competent or at least sane parents.

I wonder if they’ll die while I’m in here and if that will make me vomit over not a spiky cactus. I had a vision that was the last I’d see of my father alive 🙁

It was so peaceful in health seg. People are yelling here. I guess I’ll sort out my sheets & pillow and stare out the window for a while. Oh there’s blue sky now. A Sheriff van just came in. I want to not be in this town, maybe not in this country 🙁 I’m so sad to see the outside world. I had forgotten it exists. I wish people here were sane and not so stupid and hostile. Help Me. Help Me Crow Friends 🙁 What the FUCK did I EVER do to deserve this?!!?!?!???!?! It would be pretty easy to kill yourself here. The overhead light just came on. I guess it’s something oclock-maybe 6 or 7. The light is covered with sticky TP and papers of various kinds. The Sheriff van leaves again. I remember a vision of either Erin or Amy trapped in a psych ward van like that and was going to punch through it to save her cause she was scratching and clawing at the window and sad and crying inside. I saw one ѿ Boris too and left him be and he yelled helplessly- “but Drew!” Maybe a metaphor for their schizophrenia and being trapped in a psychotic world of unrelenting fear. I tried my best with Erin. I really did. I left Boris to himself when he had his psychotic break. When there’s a sudden change like this, like moving from HSeg to a range or from N₂O to N₂ it always makes me sad and hope everyone’s ok. When nothing changes I get mad for all they’ve put me through. Erin was right about one thing- caring for her after that charge, but she generalized it to ONLY in that instance, but I cared about her always. Fuck, I wish we had closure- this is her ideal way to hurt me. She said so 3 days before.

I don’t know how I’m ever going to re-adapt to the world, especially if my parents die. They probably cut me out of the will long ago out of hatred. That hurts more than I realized.

This is all pointless. Just fix yourself, world.

CRIPES! Let me exist peacefully and fairly for crying out quiet!

===

I see what the problem is now. Seeing things is reminding me of good times past and this sad feeling is nostalgia. Reminds me of that Holly or whoever girl’s party I went to at the end of her year. I went with Elizabeth Stewart. The girl whose party it was said she was nostalgic and cried. Dracula by Bram Stoker was playing- I remember that. I think they had an indoor pool or something.

So the bright night outside lights just reminded me of times of music festivals with Erin at Antigonish- what was it called? And Shambhala with the boys and then 2 years later with Suzy and Boris and Matt. Why can’t people just behave properly towards me? Erin was so out of it –asocial- at that festival- and everywhere sadly. Fucking tiny things-patterns-reminding me of stuff. AUGH! Like Charlie Brown says. Having a good memory makes for some trying emotions. EVOLVE festival-THAT WAS THE NAME. Sigh. Times past. If only… What comes next? Is there even a next? Or Do I just spend the rest of my existence fighting for the stupid right to exist.

Hm- I seem to add “stupid” & adjectives of a derogatory nature. I wonder if that’s helpful?

Letting out a big sigh helps a bit. Ow my other knee (right) is now very sore from putting some weight on it earlier. Those health care fucks had the nerve to complain at me for not getting better but THEY didn’t arrange physiotherapy appointments that I needed!!! What am I supposed to do? Magically walk one day by myself, alone without supervision?

Maybe I should make up a game you can play by yourself that would be amusing / puzzle like. I guess that’s how mathematics started – LOL.

All I really want is for a woman to look me in the eyes and say “you are a really good man, and I love you” – kind of how Suzy used to.

Reversing Survival of the Fittest: A Mayan Case Study

The Mayan culture had several advanced and subliminal mechanisms of social control over their population. Directives flowed from the high priests in the main temple down to the people. The priests were clever astronomers and would use natural astronomical phenomena such as eclipses in order to instill both a fear of unseen deities and a respect for and feeling of dependence on the high priests for protection from the alleged deities which were supposedly responsible for these powerful astronomical phenomena. The powerful belief in these deities and in the priests’ ability to reason with them, backed up by awe-inspiring natural phenomena facilitated a very strict and broad degree of social control. One of the resulting social customs was a brutally violent and physically challenging game of poc-de-poc which was similar to modern day basketball but with a stone ball, very high sideways hoops for baskets and no restrictions on the use of violent force. This game would rage on for days on end. The eventual winner who achieved a single successful basket would clearly be the strongest, most agile member with maximum endurance. Upon victory, it was then customary for the captain of the losing team to perform a ceremonial beheading of the winner, thus removing the strongest member of the tribe from the gene pool. This turned out to be a very effective eugenics protocol to keep the smarter but weaker priests in control of the established social order. The problem eventually arose with the invasion of the Spanish, whose culture did not coincide with the Mayan beliefs and so did not extend a corresponding level of respect for, fear of or obedience to the Mayan priests. War resulted. The Mayan population had been significantly weakened after generations of the eugenics protocol which removed the strongest members from the gene pool. The Spanish easily wiped out the majority of the Mayan population, destroyed their temples and other architectural creations and enslaved the rest of the survivors. While the social controls and eugenics protocols were wildly successful for an inclusive culture, it failed to take into account the eventual encroachment by an alien human subculture which had been developing under significantly different genetic selection protocols. Hence their downfall.

The fittest behavioural models will thrive in their respective micro-community wealth.

Law of Reciprocal Unilateral Ethics (RUE)

The law of reciprocal unilateral ethics dictates that if a party to a social interaction unilaterally decides the terms of the interaction, then the other party also has the same privilege.

If someone steals from you, then you have unilateral control over how you get to interact with that person. You essentially own the person. In a sense, the capitalist “value” of a person is measured by the minimum amount he is willing to steal from you.

This is handled in a capitalist common law by stating that acts which would otherwise criminally be interpreted as theft are actually the acceptance of a contract, so deemed as a result of one’s actions. This is like how when you walk into a store and pick up an item and pay for it, you are actually invoking an implied contract to purchase the item even though you haven’t signed any document or even verbalized your acceptance of it.

You will RUE the day you failed to account for the law of Reciprocal Unilateral Ethics.

Chapter 1 – Domestic Terrorism

Chapter 2 – Justice is Blind and D.A.F.T.

This actually happened to me in 2009. TODO add details ↑
I devoted my entire life’s resources towards a government accountability and social improvement project. I fail to see how I could somehow be an inherently bad guy. ↑
I could not even report an incident of mail theft that I had done my own investigation into and had hard, irrefutable proof of who was stealing my mail-order DVDs from Canada Post because they asked for my birthdate, and looked me up and apparently I’m a “bad person” somehow, even though I didn’t even have a criminal record. I eventually deciphered it must be because of the 2004 incident when I had an adverse reaction to a medication and the police became involved and one of them was injured. I was therefore “known to police” which means I’m a bad person because a doctor made a mistake and exposed me to a contra-indicated medication. That translates into me not having any rights, not even the right to report a crime. ↑
This happened to me in an extreme case where I was nearly murdered by an assailant who drove up to me in his car, got out and tried to beat me to death with a weapon. The police were on scene within minutes and as I bled profusely from the back of my head the police came up to me and stated in a monotone drone “there was no weapon, you fell and hit your head; you’re going to jail”. ↑
They threw me in jail for the night, still bleeding from the back of my head and denied me medical treatment for my injury which as a head wound could have been a concussion that would have been fatal considering they had me locked in a cage when I was in need of life-saving medical attention. ↑
I did not even have a criminal record at the time, but was involved in an incident several years before as a result of having an adverse reaction to a medication given to me by a psychiatrist. I was ultimately cleared of all charges by the courts, but the police database still listed me as a “bad person” and so I was treated as though I didn’t have the right to exist. ↑
Technically, since I might have had a concussion and have been on the verge of death, the police were participating in an attempt to finish off the job and are in fact accessories to attempted homicide. ↑
I was an altruistic whistleblower, thinking that my selfless pro-social contributions to society would bring some form of merit to my existence in the eyes of the law, but boy was I wrong. I saw the brutal truth when I found myself locked in jail because I survived a murder. More than once! If they could do it to me, they can do it to you or a loved one. They can do it to anyone who is an inconvenience to them. I now believe that it is mainly because of discrimination because I am autistic, but also because I was a witness against a member of an anonymous pedophile group which has members in positions of authority; just like the Catholic Church. ↑
I tried over 50 times to contact the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New Brunswick before the director would even acknowledge that I had tried to file a complaint and when he finally did reply, it was simply to say that he was not going to take complaints from me because I am an inmate. Complaints made to the Nova Scotia Barriester’s society were futile. They pretended to take it seriously at first, but then made a disposition clearing the lawyer completely. Then after repeated attempts, my complaint wasn’t even considered by them and I even got a letter telling me not to bother contacting them ever again. ↑
I tried to contact them over 50 times and the only response I got was that they weren’t going to consider anything I send them to be a valid complaint. ↑
Recall Toronto Nurse ?? name?? Elizabeth something?? ↑
Erin Hume repeatedly abused and assaulted me. She even tried to murder me once. She then reported me for an alleged assault and committed perjury to ensure a conviction. This enabled her to get away with these very serious offences. She testified that I held a whipped cream dispenser as if I were going to strike her with it, but on the day in question the dispenser wasn’t even present. She had been coercing me to exhale experimental gases into her mouth while I was in a vulnerable hypnogogic state, in her attempt to get “high”. I had refused to allow the dispenser to be present since she was supposed to be recording data, not getting high. She lied under oath anyway. The attempted murder had taken place at an earlier date when the oxygen tank ran out and she was under contractual obligation to intervene to prevent my death, but instead she took off to a friend’s house while I was turning blue and suffocating. Luckily the secondary safety backup kicked in and saved my life. ↑
This actually happened to me in 2017 and 2018 when Melissa from Canadian Inmates Connect Inc. drained my PayPal account, and stole all of my source code ↑
I found this out the hard way in 2009 ↑
In 2009 a man who had a criminal record for assault drove up to me in his vehicle, got out and tried to beat me to death with a weapon. The police arrived immediately, catching him red-handed with me bleeding profusely from the back of my head. I did not have a criminal record at the time. The police looked me up and found that in 2004 I had been exposed to a contraindicated medication with an ensuing incident. I had been charged but was given an absolute discharge, meaning the charges were essentially dropped, because it wasn’t my fault. The medication had adversely affected me. I had no criminal record. I was a law-abiding whistleblower who had devoted all of his resources towards a 50 year international peace project.

Nevertheless, because I had been charged in the past, and because of discrimination against me being an autistic person, they had me listed as a “bad person” in their database. I had no understanding of this at the time, so the events that followed were unexpected and very disturbing to me.

The cop walked up to me and in a creepy monotone voice he simply said “there was no weapon, you fell and hit your head, you are going to jail”. Rather than go get the blood-smeared weapon that the perpetrator had thrown in the ditch down the street, the cop sent the perpetrator on his way and threw ME in jail. He literally covered up this crime which certainly seems like it was a pre-meditated attempted murder. I have to wonder if the police actually knew this was going to happen and participated knowingly in it.

While in cells for the night, I was denied medical treatment for my head wound. If I had had a concussion I would have died. From my perspective, this looks like the police officer participated in the attempted homicide, at least by trying to finish off the job after the fact.

I could not understand why they did this to me. It was truly terrifying. It felt like I was no longer in Canada and had somehow been whisked away to a far-off terrorist nation. Little did I know I was blacklisted in the opaque police database. I did not have any rights, not even the right to exist. Not even the right to survive a murder. The terrorist nation I found myself in actually was Canada! What an eye opener that was.

To this day, this man remains out there and the incident unresolved. I still don’t know what his motive was or if it is linked to the subsequent attempts on my life.

Prior to this event, I had tried to make a complaint against an individual who was stealing my mail-order DVDs. I had gathered all of the evidence with the aid of Canada Post and the mail-order company but upon calling the Halifax Regional Police, I was told by Scott Beazley that I am a “bad person” and that they will never help me. This was the beginning of my reckoning of what our justice system is all about.

It is possible and even likely that the injustices I have suffered were not entirely motivated by discrimination. Some disturbing events have given me cause to believe that there are some nefarious characters involved in the judiciary. I will summarize the details here. I discovered child pornography on the computer of Brenda Ethier’s husband and investigation with a keylogger revealed that he was involved with a global group of pedophiles. I was traumatized and did not reveal this until my sister was having a child out of my ethical obligation to protect the child. This is when the 2011-9-30 attempt on my life took place, and the ensuing framing of me for a car crash. Considering that it all began immediately after the fact that I was a witness was leaked publically, and considering that the people I was a direct witness against are known to have begun conspiring with authorities at that time, it cannot be ignored as a serious possibility.

It is entirely possible that the justice system is rife with an organized network of pedophiles just like the Catholic Church is known to have been. With the recognition that pedophiles exist in other places in society other than the church, and with the advent of the internet as an anonymous means for criminals to organize, it is almost certain that this is happening to some degree in our justice system right now.

Our justice system might be so corrupt because it is run by an organized group of pedophiles. If anyone had suggested such a possibility about the church before this came to be known, the idea would have been laughed at. I implore you to learn from history and do not laugh at this possibility.

When I was wrongfully imprisoned in 2011, my former roommate, Dave Ambler stole most of my property, including an easily traceable iPad. I contacted Apple who confirmed that it had been registered to a different name which was not me. The iPad was even factory branded with my name on it and the company name. Apple told me that they could only release the location of the iPad to the police. I contacted police to try to make a report, but they did nothing. ↑
Robert Pickton notoriously got away with the serial killing of approximately 50 prostitutes in Vancouver though the authorities actually caught him red-handed near the beginning of his killing spree and let him go ↑
This has happened to me repeatedly with such perpetrators as Glenn Hubbard, Eugene Tan who was supposed to be my own lawyer, Heather Robere who was supposed to be a nurse helping me, Jennifer Mikalus, Rachel Critchley ↑
This was seen with Rick Woodburn craftily substituting his buddy Alan Boudreau into the case so that he was sure to achieve victory by any unethical means and establish a thorough cover-up. ↑
Glenn Anderson and Tokunbo Omisade did this to me. ↑
I was an eye-witness against a child pornographer who was involved with a global network of pedophiles and Mr. Anderson had the audacity to suggest that seeking an 810 protective order would be an abuse of process. This really makes one wonder about his level of involvement in the pedophile cybercrime network. ↑
In the author’s specific case, this is demonstrated to a severe degree. ↑
The perpetrator of the 2011 car crash wrote a letter describing the entire car ride, but this was suppressed by corrupt defence counsel. The first responder at the scene, Greg Dunbar, actually saw the perpetrator, but he was blocked from testifying. The police and crown went so far as to black his name out of the disclosure. A police officer testified and lied under oath, claiming that he was the first person on the scene. They just completely re-knit the fabric of reality to whatever they needed in order to achieve the wrongful conviction. ↑
This actually happened to me repeatedly. Maybe it’s because I’m a minority, or maybe it’s because I was denied access to a lawyer, which was probably also a result of being such a small and diverse a micro-minority. ↑
It is so bad in fact that I have not ever seen a police officer or other justice participant tell the truth about anything relevant while under oath. Every single one I have seen testify has lied, usually subtly, but sometimes with a shocking blatancy which discredits the system in its entirety. ↑

I was shocked and disheartened when I started paying attention to the criminal justice system. Without exaggeration I have very rarely seen a police officer, sheriff or other justice official tell the truth under oath about anything that actually mattered. A prime example is Constable Robert Tortola TODO. ↑
I used to be one of these ignorant public. Prior to my rather thorough encounter with the justice system, I had absolute unfaltering faith that the justice system was about as infallible as it could be. I saw organizations like the Innocence Foundation (formerly the Association In Defence of the Wrongly Convicted), and I thought that any minor mishaps would be quickly caught and corrected by them. Boy was I wrong. ↑
Also consider the missing metal cylinders which were seized on Sept. 13, 2011 then mysteriously were found in the crashed car on Sept. 30, 2011. How did they get out of the property room and into the car that night? ↑
It was one of the key factors in the worst individual injustice in Canadian history, which I have coined the GLITCH (Gravest Legal Injustice Throughout Canadian History), and which at the time of this writing I am still undergoing on a daily basis. ↑
I encountered a particularly sociopathic and unethical prosecutor named Rick Woodburn who did such unbelievably unethical things to ensure a wrongful conviction, knowing full well what he was doing and that it was illegal. This fine specimen of a textbook “successful psychopath” is sure to be in line for appointment to be the next judge. God help us when that happens. ↑
Jamie Campbell comes to mind. ↑
Counsel for the Attorney General of Nova Scotia, Glenn Anderson was so good at abusing the process that he would often argue that his victims were the ones abusing the process, for instance, in my case by trying to seek an 810 restraining order against the individual I witnessed participating in an organized cybercrime group of pedophiles, Glenn Anderson argued that I was abusing the process by trying to seek protection. It makes one wonder if Mr. Anderson himself is personally involved with this group. ↑
A sociopathic banker in Toronto named Carla Parente (legal name Maria) committed multiple crimes against me starting with giving me an STD, then when I tried to seek medical treatment, she lied and said that she had something called urea urealyticum so I got the wrong treatment. This resulted in permanent reproductive damage being done which is aggravated sexual assault. Also, to really rub it in, she committed cheque fraud by giving me a cheque for my rent money which I then paid her cash for the half-month in excess. I even waited ten business days for the cheque to clear, but because she is a banker she somehow manipulated the system to cause the cheque to bounce after I had paid her the cash. When I tried to report it she accused me of threatening her which was a blatant lie, but I didn’t have the phone calls recorded to prove that she was lying. So I posted what she had done on the internet, and got a phone call from the cops threatening me, demanding that the truth be removed from my site. This banker owned two condos and stole my rent money when I was homeless.

Angela MacKenzie in Halifax did a similar thing by stealing my rent deposit money, claiming she had to wipe a counter and that cost hundreds of dollars and claiming that a carpet stain that was there when I moved in was made by me. She also was stealing my mail-order DVDs from the mail. I contacted Canada Post to launch an investigation and sent myself a DVD using a traceable mail method called expresspost. I received the receipt proving that the mail had been delivered to our address, then I waited a couple of days to make sure she got the mail. This time I recorded all the phone calls. I recorded her admitting that she had gotten the mail on a specific date and claiming that there was no mail for me, even though I was in possession of a Canada Post receipt proving that the DVD had been delivered. When I took this evidence to the police, they didn’t even care. They refused to do anything. Then I got a phone call from the RCMP claiming that she was saying I threatened her on a phone call. I had every single phone call recorded this time so when I pointed this out, they backed off. ↑
I have found this out while trying to achieve justice as a neurodiverse high functioning autistic person. The rate of autism has been quoted around one percent. My IQ has been tested to be in the top one percentile of ALL people. That makes me a minority with size one percent of one percent of the population. Numerically, this would be 0.0001. The discrimination I have faced as a result is more severe than any other minority and more drastic than anyone wants to believe. Minorities usually survive by grouping together, but when there is only one of me, that’s impossible. Plus, even if there were another person in my minority group, we are invisible to the naked eye, so I would never be able to locate him. There is no way to look at a person and ascertain that he is a high functioning autistic person. You have to interact with him over a period of time. That is when the discrimination starts so I try to avoid as many people as possible to reduce the discrimination but that makes it even more difficult to locate someone like me.

Halifax, Nova Scotia won the lottery in me, the best IT in Canada coming here, but instead of cashing in, when the truckload of money came to town they set it on fire & damaged their town with the smoke & flame.

–Drew McPherson 2015-11-20 ↑
I have found this out repeatedly over the years. Like the time that an ex of mine made terrifying threats against my life which I saved on a recorded internet phone call. Upon going to the police station, I was immediately thrown in jail for the weekend. I found out later that she had called to make a complaint against me immediately after realizing that I had her threats on tape. The charge was eventually dismissed but it achieved its purpose. Her threats were never even looked at and I live to this day wondering if I have need to fear the rather specific and disturbing things she said about her serial killer brother. Later she became a hooker and was having tricks over to her house while her son slept in the next room. I told her to stop doing this because people like Robert Pickton really do exist out there and she is putting her helpless son in danger. In order to get away with it she had her friend report me for allegedly threatening her son, claiming she overheard something about her son being in danger. This a revolting abuse of the system and is all too common. ↑
I nearly was in this boat myself, but I managed to survive, so they framed me to get away with it. ↑
I have found out the hard way. A male guard with a complex and a female name, Stacy MacLeod used to target me by coercing health care staff to give him permission to beat the shit out of me in order to rip the wheelchair from underneath me. This was while I was non weight-bearing with an unrepaired broken leg and unmedicated to boot. He did this every opportunity that he could and would take the wheelchair out of my cell and put it where I could see it but not use it. Meanwhile, the child molester a few cells down the hall who didn’t even need a wheelchair got one in his cell. When I finally succumbed to such severe brain damage from years of solitary confinement that my ADHD got to levels that were completely out of control, I finally pulled a shank on the Sheriff to be able to file a court document because he threatened to “bash my face in”. This was Billy Yochoff. After this incident, it was clear that I was no longer a pacifist and so I was given a special plastic Magneto-style wheelchair and no guards were allowed to beat me or tip me from it anymore. ↑
Stacy MacLeod wheelchair tippings / beatings. Rob Hutchinson wheelchair theft Sept. 4, 2012. Rachel Critchley medication cutoff, Healther Robere medication cutoffs, Critchley Dec. 2015 torture and coverup charges. ↑
In 2009, I did not even have a criminal record when this very social injustice happened to me. ↑
In 2010, I published a government expenses accountability project which I had spent three years on at my own personal expense. MacLean’s magazine did a whole article about me and my project. As a whistleblower who is willing to put my own person at risk in order to improve society I have experienced the worst of it. People don’t think it is dangerous to be a whistleblower in Canada, but I have nearly lost my life several times because of it. ↑
I have been through some truly chilling experiences, such as the time the segregation guard who gives out all the food threatened to poison my food one day. This was a credible threat because it was the same guard who beat me up and tipped me out of my wheelchair and threatened to do so every single day unless I crawled on the floor. ↑
A guard and his manager, Sean MacLeod at Springhill Institution were targeting me for years. The guard indicated his intentions to attack me by pointing his fingers at me and then pointing at his eyes and then pointing at me again and said “we’re watching you”. When meal time was called and all the doors to the cells were unlocked so that the inmates could get their meals, this guard would routinely open all the cells except for mine, leaving me locked in, unable to get my food. I saw him doing this one day while MacLeod looked over his shoulder as he did it. This particular day that I recall was the day that we were to get a special meal of barbecued hamburgers and soda for summer. The guards have control of the cell lights at their desk. Every time the guard was on duty, he would make sure to leave my light on full blast in my cell at all hours. When he did his round of the unit, he would stop at my cell door and stare in with wide creepy glazed eyes. If I pretended not to notice him he would stand there for several minutes, tapping on the window and making weird noises until I reacted. He then escalated this to shining a laser pointer through the window of my cell door. If I had looked out the window, I guess I could have been blinded. The rumours about me escalated around this time and while I did not see him say anything the way I did with Critchley, his other conduct makes it quite likely. Also, at meal times, this guard and manager Sean would make sure to open every cell door except mine. I would have to yell out the door at the passing inmates and hope that one of them would tell a different guard to open my door.

After I moved to a different unit where the guard and his manager couldn’t attack me, a swarm of rumours suddenly began to erupt about me. This ultimately ended in a serious attack on me by an affiliate of organized crime. I suffered broken bones and severed nerves. It was clearly a carefully planned out hit. Information received both prior and subsequent to the attack is irrefutable. So the questions are, was this hit set up by the Ethier pedophile group? Were these staff members who were targeting me involved in it? Was the swarm of rumours an attempt to cover up the real motive for the attack? The hit man seems to have been instructed to claim that the attack was motivated by me supposedly testifying against him. I have never met that person before in my life, nor have I ever testified against anyone. I’ve never even spent time in the city where he was from.

This escalated into an attempt on my life in 2017, and when I was moved to Dorchester Penitentiary, I encountered similar semi-coordinated attacks. Sometimes it would be in the form of making comments in front of other inmates that were likely to put my safety in jeopardy, such as talking about the 2017 attack. Ann Landry did this in October, 2018. Other times it would be refusing to process a phone number add form so that I couldn’t call numbers. This continued for over 6 months that I was trying to add the court phone number and I had to escalate it to a full grievance and call the correctional investigator over 100 times in order to get someone to add the phone number to my PIN. Then the same thing happened with the next phone number I tried to add. Various passive-aggressive denials of my basic human rights were commonplace. It got to such a persistent harassment that I had put in so many complaints that I was ultimately declared to be a multiple griever and then blocked from complaining more than 3 times a month. This was then used as an excuse to put off my complaints even longer, thus denying my rights for more and more time. Also, many of the complaints were not even processed and some of them started disappearing which is never supposed to happen. I traced the disappearances to a parole officer, Martine Thebeau and MAI Brenda Doiron. ↑
Most notably, I’ve been targeted by a sadistic sociopath named Rachel Critchley who works at the CNSCF. I was housed there temporarily to appear on the civil actions that I was waging to try to put an end to the brutal injustice that was destroying me and my Nobel Peace project. The documents had been stolen for years by Jamie Campbell and finally after becoming verbally aggressive with the court staff, they managed to find them sitting on his desk.

“Despite the fact that you have put me in the place where you normally put the bad guys, I am not the bad guy. You are closer to being the bad guy than I am.” – Drew McPherson 2014-8-21

Confinement is particularly torturous for me with my untreated ADHD and so the half-hour of exercise outside the cell that is legally mandated is vitally necessary for me. This Critchley knew that and so having absolute control she purposely skipped my cell each time it was my turn to get out for a half hour. She did this for her entire shift which was four days straight. When I asked why she was doing this, she told me to shut up or else she would “air my dirty laundry”. In the prison culture, there are certain things that are frowned upon so severely that inmates will kill a person over it. These are things like ratting on a fellow inmate, molesting a child, raping a woman, being an informant. None of these things apply to me, but by yelling this suggestion at me in front of the entire prison range where everyone can hear it puts my life into serious danger.

Critchley also threatened to “double-door” me. What this means is that on a lock-down range where there is supposed to be a single person out at a time, the guard will open a second door to a violent inmate who can then attack the one person who is out on the range. This happens regularly for the amusement of the guards. By threatening me with this, it gave her comment about me having “dirty laundry” more of an air of credibility. This put my life into extreme danger. Prison inmates are notorious for gossip. The rumour created by Critchley that there was some kind of bad information about me spread like wildfire. Some of the inmates who heard it were also going to the same prison as myself at Springhill. The tensions built up dramatically with people constantly chirping at me until the attack finally took place and resulted in serious facial injuries. So you see that a guard can attack a prisoner very easily with plausible deniability. Homicide by inmate. To put the icing on the cake, this Critchley had me charged as well, twice, with nothing but her word against mine. The perfect cover-up.

I’ve also been charged for surviving medical torture and complaining about it. There is a sadistic nurse at the CNSCF that everyone calls the “pill nazi” because she goes around bragging about torturing people by cutting them off their pain medications. She did this to me while I had a broken leg and when I spoke up about it, she increased the severity of the torture. She even made a note about it in my medical file, stating she was cutting me off quicker because I told her that she should learn some empathy for people who are in pain by bashing her head against a wall. To punish a patient, especially by drug-induced torture is strictly against the code of ethics of nurses. If this were done to a person in a public hospital, the nurse would be fired and probably criminally charged. But this happened in a prison where it happens routinely, so when I complained to the college of registered nurses about it, they initially ignored me. Upon pressing the issue I was ultimately charged with uttering a threat. ↑
Upon attempting repeatedly to report the information regarding the child pornography and pedophile forums that I inadvertently discovered, yet nobody would allow me access to police which is a regulatory right in the CSC under CD 84-15. Parole officers such as Martine Thebeau, Brenda Doiron and Andrew Sherman all blocked my access. Psychologist Michael Black refused to report the information even though he had me sign a form stating that he was legally required to report any crimes against children which he became aware of during our interviews. I signed the form, handed it to him and proceeded to report the crimes against children and he basically told me that it only applied in cases where I could be harmed by him reporting the information. ↑
I tried over 50 times to get a response from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick by mail and telephone with no action taken and not even a letter in reply. I wanted something in writing to prove this, so I kept bugging them to get a response of some kind. Eventually after speaking personally to the director several times he sent a letter stating that they were not taking my complaint. ↑
I know this because that is exactly what has happened to me several times. ↑
The only thing that has worked to keep me alive is aggression in words or conduct. My attempts to achieve recourse and prevention through the justice system were referred to as “abuse of process”. ↑
When I was crawling in solitary confinement with a broken leg, the surgeon ordered various medical treatments such as physiotherapy. The prison administration refused to follow these orders and so I became upset and made a threat that there would be an “incident” if I did not get the proper medical treatment. This resulted in me being immediately brought to the manager of health care who promised that I would be going out to physiotherapy immediately and he asked me not to physically harm anyone. I responded that I had no intention of physically harming anyone, and intended to go on a hunger strike. When the manager learned this, he changed his mind and refused to send me to physiotherapy, even after a 28 day hunger strike. It wasn’t, until I went to the psychiatric assessment ward where there were more nursing staff who could see how brutally I was being abused that I was finally sent to a physiotherapy session. ↑
I was left without health care for my broken leg for 6 years! ↑
I was left without medical treatment for my ADHD for 7 years! I endured serious permanent brain damage during this time as I spent over 2.6 years in solitary confinement without proper medication. ↑
I was left with a broken leg for 6 years and left with severe ADHD for 7 years which became worse and worse during 2.6+ years of solitary confinement throughout that time period. ↑
I found this out the hard way when I was left with a broken leg for six years. I would have been completely left for dead, crawling on the floor had it not been for making threats of violence. As a result of my threatening behaviour, I was seen immediately by the manager of health care who scheduled physiotherapy so that I could at least learn to walk upright. ↑
I had to spend thousands of dollars to get the ADHD medications I needed just to be able to function on some days and to prevent my mind from going berserk in the confined torture environment that is known to exacerbate ADHD symptoms tenfold. Sometimes due to institutional crackdowns on medication diversion or simply because the supplier moved to a new location I had to go off the medications and tended to become paranoid and reactive and would pick up charges as a result. ↑
At Burnside jail for various periods of time from 2011 to 2018, I was put into solitary confinement for indefinite periods of time, all mail I attempted to send was being seized by the facility and my ability to access the phone to make any phone call was completely cut off. I was not even allowed to call the Human Rights Commission, any lawyer or Legal Aid, or the Ombudsman. All of these are statutorily protected phone call rights. I was regularly prohibited from having any time outside the cell for days, weeks and sometimes months at a time. The statutory right is 30 minutes of exercise outside the cell per day and 30 minutes of fresh air per day. I was almost never allowed any fresh air while on a lockdown range which is the most terrifying kind of solitary confinement. On lockdown ranges, there is no guard supervision while a single inmate, usually the most badly behaved offender is free to roam outside of the other cells and throw piss and shit into other inmates’ cells, onto the inmates and their property for his own personal amusement. This is a common daily practice called “shit-bombing” which is encouraged by guards who find it amusing to watch inmates throw piss and shit onto each other. Some guards and captains will explicitly threaten to put inmates on a lockdown range “to be shit-bombed”. ↑
There was a nurse at Burnside who liked to brag about cutting inmates off their pain medications to inflict agony. She came around cackling “I’m the best at it” to me one day shortly before she did it to me. I yelled at her and demanded that she have empathy for the pain she was causing. She then told me that she was going to cut me off quicker as punishment. She even brazenly logged into my medical records that I yelled at her and so therefore she was cutting me off quicker. I had a broken leg at the time, and had been non-weight-bearing for over 6 months.

I saw a psychiatrist at Dorchester, Dr. Alatishe, and told him that antipsychotics had caused a major incident when I had been mistakenly prescribed them in 2004. I had almost died as well as several other people. I explained that I was found NCR because I was on the antipsychotic drug and that it had been deemed contra-indicated by the court and by the Ontario Mental Health Review Board. I explicitly told him that to put me on an antipsychotic drug would have a 100% chance of lethal consequences and any doctor who did so would be therefore committing a pre-meditated act of intentional homicide. He then immediately prescribed me an antipsychotic drug. Fortunately I had the good sense not to take it and got a second opinion right away which confirmed everything I had said.

Another psychiatrist, Dr. Grainne Neilson at the East Coast Forensic Psychiatric Hospital which is attached to Burnside jail tried to get a court order to have me “restrained and injected” with the contraindicated lethal substance, the major tranquilizer, as well as two other substances, a massive dose of benzodiazepine tranquilizers and an anticholinergic substance both of which block a person’s memory. In fact, this was to be a heftier dose than any date-rapist would have administered to their victim to be “roofied”. I saw other patients of hers who were barely able to move and when I asked about how they were doing, they were barely able to verbalize that it was “torture”.

While in Springhill Institution I had been prescribed Tylenol for my broken leg. Upon being moved to Dorchester Penitentiary, Dr. Fontaine immediately cut me off the Tylenol, never having met with me and provided no explanation or alternative. I had surgery that same month that had been scheduled for the past year and received no medications whatsoever afterwards. The surgeon who had done the surgery at the outside hospital prescribed significant quantities of Dilaudid and Lyrica as well as Tylenol, but I was blocked from accessing this prescription. Upon complaining to Fontaine, he was initially going to tell me to take a hike, but the head nurse was there and was flabbergasted that he was committing such a brutal act of medical torture so she convinced him to prescribe some regular acetaminophen. He gave me one week’s worth which barely helped and then I was left to suffer in the worst agony I’ve ever endured in my entire life with fresh surgical wounds having been cut to the bone all down my entire leg literally the day before. ↑
Andrew Sherman was one such narcissistic sociopath. He sabotaged my life by blocking my access to programs, blocking my access to medication until I forced a standoff, blocking my access to documents I needed for court, refusing to answer any of my questions about why I was denied certain jobs, refused to give any serious consideration to my documented accountability and motivation levels. When asked how I can increase my accountability level, he told me that I could tell him about the car crash. I told him that I don’t know anything about it because I was unconscious so if I were to say anything about it, I’d be either speculating, fabricating a story, or outright lying which would be definitely not be proper accountability. Upon hearing this, he tried to coerce me to tell lies to cover up the 2011-9-30 murder by fabricating a story about a car crash, and held my pay level back at the lowest level as leverage. I still would not tell the lies he wanted me to and so he simply said with an evil sadistic look on his face that “we would have to agree to disagree”. He regularly got an evil sadistic laughing look on his face like he was getting away with something, especially whenever I would try to talk about the trauma of the incident or the fact that children were being molested by the group that I witnessed.

Michael Black is also a narcissistic sociopath with what some might call “small man syndrome” and a huge ego. He participated in Sherman’s blocking of my access to documents by keeping me on the hook, claiming he would get the documents I need from the psych file and then never doing it and when the deadline passed, he simply said with an evil, sadistic smirk that it was his fault.

Glenn Anderson also got the exact same evil, sadistic, laughing smile on his face whenever I would talk about the difficult experiences I went through or the fact that I witnessed a man’s involvement in a child molestation group. I could never understand what he thought was so amusing about murder and child molestation. Now I know it is because he is a narcissistic sociopath who has been hiding out in the justice system, and causing incalculable damage and untold harms to his victims through the abuse of his position of power. He was unable to resist the triumphant look of gloating as if he were getting away with something really sinister. Andrew Sherman was just as bad as Glenn Anderson in this respect, and Michael Black also got this look a few times in the short while I knew him.

This same look was on the face of the alleged victim, Ward Robinson’s son while he was imparting his victim impact statement in court. This suggests to me that he knows about and is involved in the events of 2011-9-30. The obvious question is raised, did he have motive to kill his own father? Was his father a gambling addict who was causing the foreclosure on their cottage that the son felt narcissistically entitled to? Did they do a victim swap, my father killing me, and Ward’s son killing him? Why on earth would Ward Robinson’s son be so happy, smiling, gloating and pleased as if he had gotten away with the caper of a lifetime while he was relaying his comments about his dead father?? ↑
The Office of the Correctional Investigator Annual Report 2016-2017 ↑
Parole Officer Andrew Sherman and I clashed with me sending copious quantities of mail to him to try and comprehend why he would have me rated as LOW accountability when I am the ONLY person in the country whose entire life’s resources (plus nearly $100,000 of credit which was earned through merit with a FICO score of 802 for being so unfalteringly reliable as to have never missed a single payment on my decades of credit history) was totally devoted to an accountability project, which was part in parcel of an international peace project which realistically ought to receive some form of recognition by the Nobel Peace committee after 50 years of total devotion to it. ↑
Chapter 3 – Social Contracts

In fact, the first version of this book was stolen from me by someone who entered my life briefly, tricked me into trusting her and then made off with four years-worth of my hardest created intellectual property. ↑
When I was a child in the 1980’s my parents smoked furiously in the car as we were heading anywhere. I complained endlessly only to be ridiculed, galvanizing the fact that I was voiceless without the same protections that others receive. Then finally about 25 years later some laws were passed in various jurisdictions making it illegal to smoke in the car with children present. It took 25 years of children enduring carcinogenic abuse before somebody finally clued in and actually went through the long and complicated process of protecting children from second-hand smoke. In an equilism, this would be solved immediately by updating the social contracts for protected parties.

Chapter 4 – Equilibrium (Balance)

Chapter 5 – Judicial Reform ↑
I tried for years to have reliable access to the justice system to finally get justice in this GLITCH, but it was ultimately impossible through the judicial administration itself. ↑
Rest assured that I, as a very intelligent, well-educated individual have tried my hardest for years and years to access the civil justice system. The trail of evidence of these attempts proliferates the courthouse. If you call up the Prothonotary and ask them to look up my name you will find about a hundred separate civil actions that I have attempted to pursue over a time span of 7 years. I may very well be the most qualified individual to comment on the accessibility of the civil justice system. ↑
A Nova Scotia Supreme Court Justice, Jamie Campbell, took it upon himself to begin a campaign of “stealing” my documents by having a staff member at the courthouse, Donna Davis, divert all of my court documents to him “for review”, where they sat for years at a time with me unable to proceed on any of my attempts to access justice. When I sued Campbell for this crime, his lawyer argued successfully that he is allowed to commit crimes because he is a judge. I tried to put the proof that he was stealing my documents on public record, but the documentary proof was then stolen by prothonotary Tim Morse. The proof consisted of a lengthy multi-year paper trail whereby I continuously filed court documents that were marked “sent to Justice Jamie Campbell for review” and dated. Then a year later these documents were suddenly found when I became aggressive and accused the prothonotary staff member Donna Davis of stealing my documents because she was the last known point of contact for these documents. When the documents reappeared they contained her initials and the note about Campbell and the date which was a year earlier. ↑
The argument to deny me access to a lawyer was that I had been denied a lawyer in other unfair cases previously. ↑
A highly paid government lawyer was sent around to “stalk” me and collect evidence of cases where I’d been unfairly denied a lawyer in order to present a massive several-inch thick stack of documents to block my access to legal counsel every time I tried to ask for a lawyer. I saw him sitting in the bleachers everywhere I went, just watching, taking notes, and laughing quietly with a smirk on his face like he was watching an episode of the “Big Bang Theory” where people were terrorizing Sheldon Cooper and he was loving every second of it, relishing in the sheer joy of harassing and causing irreparable harm to a minority. ↑
Glenn Anderson from the Attorney General of Nova Scotia was the worst perpetrator of this type of misconduct to block my access to justice. He actually went around stalking me, at probably enormous expense to the taxpayers, to gather huge stacks of documents and notes to block my access to a lawyer, and to shut down my attempts to access justice to achieve relief for horrific abuses, violations and injustices, to prevent murder, to achieve basic safety. He did this by claiming that I didn’t need a lawyer because I’d been denied a lawyer before, which is specious circular reasoning, but apparently the court felt like listening to him rather than to logic. He claimed that because I’d filed actions against a number of horrific violations of myself, I must therefore be a vexatious litigant. This is highly offensive, considering all of the massive horrific traumas I’ve been through and tried desperately to get justice through the proper process, rather than simply act out like anyone else would. He claimed that me trying to get justice through the courts was a blatant “abuse of process” and that I should be banned from ever filing any lawsuit for anything ever again no matter the circumstance. He won. I’m going to have to kill him in self-defence, seeing as that’s the recourse he’d prefer I be forced to take under necessity of physical survival. Anderson even went so far as to say it would be an abuse of process in the criminal justice system if I were to seek an 810 protective order against a gang member who threatened to murder me, then tried to do so or against a pedophile who I witnessed operating a massive organized crime network on the internet. I thought the government was supposed to be against murder for the benefit of organized crime and against crimes committed against children like molestation and child pornography. Glenn Anderson, in his own submissions, is very much pro-pedophilia, pro-child pornography and pro murder for the benefit of organized crime. ↑
Recall the mail theft by Angela MacKenzie, and the attack by Bruce Wyse for examples. During the complaint about the handling of the attempted murder in 2009, I was threatened by the Police Complaints Commissioner, Nadine Cooper-Mont, with being charged if I ever made another complaint about the police again. ↑
Chapter 6 – Electoral Reform

Chapter 7 – Implementation Details

In 2004 after a serious reaction to a contraindicated psychiatric medication I ended up getting into a vehicular collision involving a peace officer and was charged as a result. I was ultimately given an absolute discharge with no criminal record because it was determined that the incident was caused completely by a negative reaction to a medication. Nevertheless, the information about the fact that I had at one time been charged was permanently stored on the police database, so no matter where I moved in Canada, any police officer could look this up and see that I had been charged with an offence against a peace officer. As a result, whenever a crime was committed against me, the police refused to take the complaint. This became so severe that after a man nearly beat me to death and I was bleeding profusely from the back of my head, the police showed up and practically caught the perpetrator in the act, but once they looked me up on the computer, I was thrown in jail and denied health care. They refused to press any charges against the man who had nearly assassinated me and by putting me in jail with a possible concussion, they almost finished off the job. When a roommate was stealing my mail-order DVDs I contacted Canada Post who assured me the mail was getting through so I sent a traceable parcel to myself at that address, waited until she had received it and then made a recorded phone call to get her to admit she had gotten the mail and was claiming that I did not have any mail waiting for me. So I had all the evidence, but upon phoning the Halifax Police, they refused to do anything about it once they looked me up on their database. ↑
I have created so many projects for software companies that made the owners rich, and at the time of writing this book, I have less than nothing. ↑
I found this out the hard way when I was nearly killed in what clearly an attempt on my life but was made out to be an accident. Then, rather than get health care for my wounds and justice for the offences committed against me, I was framed, thrown away in jail, left with a broken leg for six years, tortured so brutally that I suffered severe permanent physical injuries and brain damage so bad that I am unable to function at all without powerful stimulants and persecution for a crime I did not commit with a sentence higher than anyone has ever gotten for a similar alleged offence. “I should be getting government grants, not government torture” – Drew McPherson 2013-4-13
