V is for Voluntary: “The only idea they have ever manifested as to what is a government of consent, is this — that it is one to which everybody must consent, or be shot.” — Lysander Spooner
My Commentary: Pathologically pathetic…

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel
Department of Defense to Award Contracts Throughout Shutdown, But Won’t Announce Them:
http://www.defensenews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2013310010031
The Pentagon will continue to award hundreds of millions of dollars in acquisition, services and other types of contracts despite a government-wide shutdown, but don’t expect to hear about them.
The US Defense Department will not publicly announce contracts during the shutdown, Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a Pentagon spokesman, wrote in an email.
But that should not stop the military services and defense agencies from signing pacts for equipment, supplies and other items.
The Pentagon will do “one big announcement” of the contracts awarded during this period when the shutdown ends, Christensen wrote.
My Commentary: Shutdown or not, the American war crime machine never sleeps! You see, murdering innocent human beings living in foreign lands is actual a very “essential” service that our noble Federal Government provides to us lowly subjects. And, it is vastly more important than all others, if the percentage of our tax dollars funding it is any indication! So, by all means, double-knot your blindfold for safety, and continue to passionately babble on about budgets, deficits and “health care” during this latest government-manufactured crisis, my fellow Americans, while still remaining starkly silent about the crimes against humanity and war crimes being committed overseas daily in our name, for over a decade now – with full, bipartisan support from the warmongering cowards-that-be that “represent” this country! Any peace-loving, life-respecting humanitarian would do exactly the same, under the circumstances!

Consumerism is a track coming out on the eve of Ms. Hill’s release. She wanted to get this music out while she was incarcerated, as it is a product of the space she was in while she was going through some of the challenges she has been faced with recently.
Available now on iTunes: http://bit.ly/MLH_C
“Consumerism is part of some material I was trying to finish before I had to come in. We did our best to eek out a mix via verbal and emailed direction, thanks to the crew of surrogate ears on the other side. Letters From Exile is material written from a certain space, in a certain place. I felt the need to discuss the underlying socio-political, cultural paradigm as I saw it. I haven’t been able to watch the news too much recently, so I’m not hip on everything going on. But inspiration of this sort is a kind of news in and of itself, and often times contains an urgency that precedes what happens. I couldn’t imagine it not being relevant. Messages like these I imagine find their audience, or their audience finds them, like water seeking it’s level.”
– Ms. Lauryn Hill
My Commentary: New song from Ms. Hill!

The Right to Ignore the State:
https://www.libertarianism.org/publications/essays/right-ignore-state
(Herbert Spencer) The Right to Voluntary Outlawry: As a corollary to the proposition that all institutions must be subordinated to the law of equal freedom, we cannot choose but admit the right of the citizen to adopt a condition of voluntary outlawry. If every man has freedom to do all that he wills, provided he infringes not the equal freedom of any other man, then he is free to drop connection with the state — to relinquish its protection, and to refuse paying toward its support. It is self-evident that in so behaving he in no way trenches upon the liberty of others; for his position is a passive one; and whilst passive he cannot become an aggressor.

Without a quicker blood
A sudden expectation
A flying attitude!” – Emily Dickinson

My Commentary: War criminal, General David Petraeus, is treated to a dose of reality by a group of conscientious CUNY students. No justice, no peace!
