Another neo-collectivist heard from regarding "Holly Kerodin et al., Plaintiffs versus Servicemagic, Inc. et al., Defendants."

One Kool-Aid drinking F.O.C.K.er (Friend of Christian 'Kerodin'), wirecutter by name, is somewhat atypical of the neo-collectivist reactions I've had to posting the court order in the matter of "Holly Kerodin et al., Plaintiffs versus Servicemagic, Inc. et al., Defendants" entitled There is nothing new under the Kerodin dark star. and The Judgment. "ORDERED, that judgment for costs BE ENTERED in favor of Defendants."

It is atypical because it is not frothing at the mouth and full of expletives-not-deleted, thus it barely makes the bar for publication, even though he uses the derisive "Mikey" (which usually gets you deleted right off, but I'll let it slide this time in service of the point).

Quoth wirecutter:

You're a petty li'l bitch, aren't you? I saw Pete's post over at WRSA a couple of weeks ago about the use of the III name. No comment on that but what I got out of it is that you've pretty much existed on handouts for the past few years. Probably drawing Social Security now along with Medicare too, huh? More handouts..... Seems pretty fucking hypocritical to accept handouts from the government you're always bitching about, Mikey.

Now, this is a line of attack often used by the collectivists -- first explored by the likes of Rachel Madcow and Media Matters-- so it is hardly a surprise that it would be adopted by the neo-collectivists, if for no other reason than they are neither very inventive nor very bright in their defense of the Lord-of-the-Citadel-Manor Kerodin cult of personality.

I would like to address the issue however because wirecutter has swerved into something that does highlight one important difference between the not-so-stable K. and myself. I once told a budding young collectivist reporter, who really thought she had a gotcha question, that I had two explanations for my acceptance of disability SSDI from the federal government. The first was that I viewed it merely as getting reimbursement for the decades of money extorted from my paychecks in the private sector. I pointed out that this put me ahead of her, since she would never see a dime of hers, and asked her, "So, is it jealousy which motivates your question?"

Secondly, I pointed out that a cardinal principle of resistance warfare was that the guerrillas should exist off the substance of the enemy. This, if I recall correctly, made her eyes glaze over a bit. She had no follow-up question.

When I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure some years ago, I had already been in the Constitutional militia movement for over a decade. The cause, the heart doctor told me, was hypertension and stress. My ejection fraction was so low that he suggested that I apply for SSI disability as, in his opinion, I could no longer work a real job without risk of dying. "You need to take it easy or your heart will give out," he told me. "It's that simple."

So, I applied, and, without resort to an attorney, was granted the lordly sum of $1,300 per month on the first application. Yeah, my heart was that bad.

In any case, I didn't stop agitating for liberty and actually increased the amount of time and effort I spent fighting the domestic enemies of the Constitution as I saw them. Since then, as long-time readers will recall, I have had several other health issues, including a cancerous tumor. Twice more we were told that my prognosis was very poor. Twice God reversed the odds. I have very much to be grateful for. Not just my continued existence on the planet (the value of which I suspect is over-rated) but the opportunity to keep up my work and especially for all the wonderful friends, supporters and comrades-in-arms I've met along the way. I conclude from that that He is not done with me yet. When He is, He'll call me home. I'm content with that.

But I tell you all of this, thanks to wirecutter's indictment, to ask this question: Which of us is more "hypocritical"? The guy who uses money that he originally earned to continue to fight for liberty? Or the guy who, claiming to be an advocate of liberty and a worse opponent of the FEDERAL government than any other guy, misuses FEDERAL law and the FEDERAL coercive power to extort money from individual liberty-minded folks like Red Dot Arms who have the temerity to use a Roman numeral that he claims exclusive rights over -- abusing an idea which wasn't even his to begin with?

Hypocritical? That is for you to judge, gentle readers. I'll get my judgment from my Maker when He decides it is time.

But, that said, I would like to thank wirecutter, not only for the opportunity to highlight the differences between the neo-collectivist Kerodin and myself, but also for the chance to once more use the words "Holly Kerodin et al., Plaintiffs versus Servicemagic, Inc. et al., Defendants" in a blog post title, where it can be picked up by any search engine. It is said that the truth shall make you free. Well, I'll be quite happy if any of the Kerodins' other victims -- desperately looking for information on the people who send them threatening emails (and you notice they don't use the U.S. Mail for these threats since that would open up a whole load of federal law-breaking exposure) -- are able to use any search engine with Holly Kerodin's name (aka Violet Suckoo) to find the truth of the Kerodins' past misdeeds and to use that truth to defend themselves. For that, my dear wirecutter, I thank you very much.

Mike
