“Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.”  Those words span languages and centuries because they express the observable fact that our civilizations have a yet-unbroken, 100% rate of eventual self-destruction, and by the most predictably insane ways.

So…what a year, right?  The gaslighting, outright lying, embarrassingly obvious corruption, as well as the chickens coming home to roost from trans-generationally awful domestic and international monetary policy and military mayhem, have made us a hotly divided nation on the verge of WWIII, financial collapse, and maybe Civil War.  You’d think we’d want to address an issue or two…like maybe debt, spending, inflation and the pending collapse of Social Security.  Yet in traveling around the state, I’m seeing a disturbingly common pair of reactions to my candidacy:

1. Complete agreement with everything I say, have said for decades, and still want to accomplish; and yet,
2. A politely expressed, but astoundingly resolute, tribal fealty and anger, that prevents them from turning against the unconstitutional, inherently divisive, tribal and destructive Two-Party Puppet Show, that got us into this catastrophic, flaming mess.

Have we not suffered enough?  Are we not yet ready to examine and accept our own role, power and accountability in our governance?  It’s We The People, after all.  We outnumber the bad guys, scores of millions to one.  We have, in our votes, weapons of peaceful revolution.

Elections are not about candidates or parties.  They’re always and only about voters.  All I can do as a candidate for US Senate is offer the following: 

1. I’m the only one who’d do everything I could to decentralize, dissect, declaw and defund what has become an anti-constitutional oligarchy of PACS, foreign governments, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag and in general…a criminal crony crime ring.
2. I’m the only one who can even talk about the Donor Class and duopoly political corruption with a straight face, as I’m the only candidate opposing, and not representing and sustaining this horrid scam. 
3. I’m the only one who could embody a healing “Third Way,” or political marriage counselor, to stand down the hatemongering stupidity and illegality of the Two Party factions our founders warned against.
4. A chance for you to make an unmistakably strong choice that you’ve suffered enough, and are ready to take over your government without firing a shot.

Any vote for even the best R or D is a vote to sustain the puppet show.  Any vote for any alternative says, at the very least, that you’re sick of this self-immolating madness, and want to concentrate on both healing this nation, and quit doing everything else with our money, our rights, and our lives. 

I’m offering peace, prosperity, security, privacy, open government; and I’m certainly the only one offering liberty and justice for all.

So, what is it that we wish?  What would we have?  Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God!  I know not what course others may take; but as for me, well…please give me a chance to serve you, before this all blows up.

Liberty or Bust!

Et Tu, RFK Jr?

I know why RFK Jr did it, but…

So, RFK Jr. endorsed Trump, and threw all independent and “third party” candidates and parties under the bus by essentially saying, “you can’t fight the system.”  I wish he didn’t do that, but I get it.  The ballot/media barriers and criminal ballot removal, constant mocking and bad press, “lesser evil” and “wasted vote syndrome” nonsense, high personal costs, frustration and bad odds faced by anybody challenging the status quo are painful.  I know!  I’ve had death threats.  I’ve been accused of “stealing votes” and somehow contaminating the virginal purity of our partisan electoral politics.  But I also understand that the current D.C. administration, the most corrupt in this nation ever (which is saying something!), which has weaponized every agency against political opponents, has not only tried to assassinate Trump, but has denied Secret Service to RFK Jr himself.  While he’d do a great service to all alternative parties and candidates by staying in the race and breaking the 5% barrier that’d breach the unconstitutional, inherently divisive and destructive “Two Party” puppet show scam our founders warned against…I understand.  I did something similar myself when I annoyed my Libertarian Party friends and won a GOP primary for US House in 2004. 

But when I did that, I disproved most of what people think about politics.  By raising less campaign money than anybody since Geo. Washington and winning both a contested primary, and, if only living voters counted, the General Election as well, I proved it’s not all about money.  But by raising more money as a Libertarian, both before and after that election, and by being the same guy saying the same things but getting wildly differing results based on only private club affiliation, I also debunked pretty much everything voters say about the way they vote.  And by meeting the money people of the GOP, getting stabbed in the back by some very prominent Republicans (including a fellow who became both an Indiana Governor and VPOTUS, who I won’t name), and by example of all the Good Republicans like Ron Paul, Thomas Massie and Justin Amash, I saw very clearly that “The System” cannot be fixed from within.  Heck, our elected duopoly politicians aren’t even in the system.  They’re just puppets and NPCs on an actual puppet show distraction from who’s really running the world.

Only voters can fix this hot mess of an utterly corrupt government, completely sold out parties on the edge of WWIII and socioeconomic collapse, with the most divisive, compromised Democratic and Republican party POTUS candidates ever.

Too many people feel powerless, abused, and hopeless.  That’s because we keep doing the same stupid thing every Election Day, expecting something different to happen as a result.  Voting does matter.  We really do have what we’ve been re-electing over and over again.  Why would politicians change anything when we’re blowing them electoral kisses as they rob us blind?

However, more than anything or anybody else on the ballot, it appears We The People seek a Savior in the form of a single mortal human.  OK, I can’t talk idolaters out of their idols.  Vote for your political god if you must.  But can we please look at the rest of this rotten system, and try to fix the rest of our political systems; local, state and federal?  Look at what we’ve done to ourselves!  Look at how a tiny number of powerful wicked people have us fighting each other instead of them.  You have the power of peaceful revolution in your voting arm.  It’s time to wield that weapon – at least as Plan A.

Bottom line: Voting for ANY Democrat or Republican says you approve this hot mess.  After all, even the best D and R candidates voluntarily chose to represent what we all know is divisive, corrupt and destructive.  Voting for ANYBODY ELSE says you’re sick of it, and want something else.

Isn’t THAT what we all really want?

Liberty or Bust!

The Anti-Establishment Establishment

Sorry this is late! I had meant to post this when I sent it out.

For Immediate Release

Contact: Andrew Horning
Horning for US Senate

August 5, 2024

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

I want to believe that Trump would, if elected again, “drain the swamp,” as he said he’d do the last time.  Yes, I wish he had kept some other promises as well, but his previous unconstitutional and destructive spending, debt, Israel First/ “Greater Israel” polices and global military violence, like sanctions, assassinations and coup attempts (Iran’s been on our/Israel’s Kill List since 1979), were mere symptoms of a much, much greater disease.  And that disease spans all factions within both of the crony network parties. If I believed he was actually anti-establishment, wasn’t a puppet to his donors and legal bailors, and would end this global crony crime ring we call “our government,” he’d have my vote.

Political corruption and abuse of unconstitutional power are the only issues worth discussing now.  Pick any major economic, social, military or political problem – endless war, inflation, social division, injustice…at the root of each, is corruption.  It’s easy to see corruption in the structure and function of the unconstitutional, self-appointed, inherently divisive and corrupt “Two-Party System” our founders warned against.  Campaign donations, and the multi-billion-dollar influence-peddling industry, tell much of how this puppet show works according to three political maxims: “Follow The Money,” “People are Policy,” and the one I was told often when I won a US House of Representatives primary in the GOP, “Ya dance with the one that brung ya.” 

So, consider the AIPAC (for example, along with Trump’s big Zionist donors like the Edelsons) and other special interest-funded and foreign government-favored swamp creatures Trump has endorsed, as well as the “shadow government,” “deep state,” Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Ag and otherwise mighty people and corporations now endorsing, surrounding and funding the Trump/Vance ticket:  Palmer Luckey, Peter Thiel, Jaime Dimon and Eric Prince are the luminaries of Anduril, Palantir, JP Morgan and Blackwater, for example.  What policies are they buying?  Recall Trump’s support of “Pre-Crime” powers (now privatized under Palantir), and the privatized versions of CBDCs, including Bitcoin and stablecoins as promoted by JP Morgan.  Even DEI-promoting Larry Fink of Blackrock has the ear of Donald Trump in matters of global finance.  Trump still supports warhawk incumbents like Lindsey Graham, and endorses sold-out candidates all across the country.

So, Trump is funded, surrounded and staffed by authoritarian, warhawk neocon, global panopticon entities and promoters hardly interested in the USA…or you.  In other words, Trump isn’t tied to only rich financiers, and what Eisenhower called “the Military-Industrial Complex,” as he was in his first term (and as are Democrats), he’s also, like Democrats, attached to the other phrase we should remember from that same Eisenhower speech: “a Scientific-Technological Elite.”  It’s an elite that promotes what Thiel himself described as, “communist totalitarian technology.” 

Yes, there are partisan differences.  Democrat puppet masters hate the formerly-loved, formerly-Democrat Trump, and Trump now hates them back.  If Trump wins, there would certainly be some shakeups, as puppet strings shift from puppets to other puppets.  And I do expect that Trump’s cronies would, quite opposite Democratic Party cronies, do something about the destruction of our energy industries, and the taxpayer-funded transportation and subsidy of aliens across our borders.  I’m sure he wants to punish whatever part of the deep state tried to assassinate him. Good!

But…if Trump tears down half the government, what’ll replace it? Will it be what the WEF, the UN’s Agenda 2030, and the “Technocracy Movement” of the 1930’s have been pushing us toward across the generations? Look at the map. Trump’s already run his mouth about every part of it from Greenland to Venezuela. …The goal has always been a self-chosen elite ruling at least that chunk of the world with the all-encompassing, irresistible force of AI and robotics.

Here’s the blunt truth:

1. However you describe, hate or favor any of our wealthy ruling caste, none of them particularly care whether any Democrat or Republican wins, as long as their puppet show continues with the same divide-and-conquer Two Party Scam.  Trump, his sycophants and coat-tails, aren’t challenging that at all.  If they win, the corruption and global madness continues.

2. Any vote for ANY D or R candidate…even the best ones like Thomas Massie, John Hostettler or Justin Amash, is not merely wasted hope and a wasted vote.  It’s self-immolation.  No D or R politician can fix this mess.  They’ve voluntarily chosen to represent this corrupt crony network.  Like it or not, they’re puppets – even if, like Massie, they point to the strings and puppet masters.  Voting for any part of this says exactly and only, “Attaboy!  Keep doing what you’re doing to us!”  And why would they not keep doing it to us?  All they need is your vote; they’ve already got everything else.

3. Voting for ANYTHING/ANYBODY ELSE demonstrates, at the very least, that we’ve had a change of heart, mind and choice; that we’re done with those tearing us apart, and that we aren’t willing participants anymore.  It says we finally, after many generations of casting our votes like poker chips, instead used our votes as weapons of revolution against the small number of psychopaths running us to ruin.

I’m putting #3 on the ballot.  I’m the only one doing that in Indiana’s 2024 US Senate race.  I can’t make you vote for me, of course.  But please consider what the other guys are already making you do, and let’s talk.  We’ve wasted too much, time, money, hope, peace, prosperity, justice …and votes, to let this go on any longer.

Liberty or Bust!

Why WWIII is not as good as it sounds

Can rethink our war policy, please?

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

With my mother’s side of the family long disregarding some genealogical and DNA evidence to the contrary, I allege that I am not at all Jewish.  I certainly wasn’t raised in any way to make me claim hereditary ownership of Palestine, or maintain enmity toward the sons of Ishmael.  I’ve in fact read a lot of history about Zionism, and the many prophetic warnings from T.E. Lawrence about western meddling in the Middle East.  So perhaps this disqualifies me from saying that we citizens, voters and taxpayers of the US of A, should stay the !@#$ out of the Middle East, and stop serving that shyster Netanyahu’s desire to cajole every nuclear power (including and especially the forever-almost-nuclear power, Iran) on the planet into war. 

After all, these days, only some people are allowed to speak on particular subjects.

But I nevertheless have what I think are good reasons for my disinclination toward WWIII and self-immolation, no matter the geographic spark of the conflagration:  We’re past-broke, falling apart in every way, and on the verge of a very ugly multi-faceted civil war over, among other things, illegal aliens and partisan idolatry.  In other words, We The People are a hot mess, are in no condition, and simply cannot afford, what is already a rapidly escalating global war with a growing number of BRICS block nations who’ve tired of our global hegemony.  Besides, we’ve not finished our war on Russia yet.

However, I can offer instead, proven solutions to our internal problems that would set us on a course toward peace, prosperity, security, justice, as well as political and economic freedom such that none of us alive today have ever experienced.  I suggest we consider this offer, instead of serving the ravenous greed and power lust of the Malthusian eugenicist puppet master psychopaths pushing the world toward Armageddon.

Once we have, as suggested by our Declaration of Independence, righted ourselves by opposing the political forms to which we are accustomed, then we can go ahead and discuss blowing up the planet.

Does that sound reasonable?

Liberty or Bust!

I hate to say “I told you so,” but…

Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.

Here is a recent one: https://wedeclare.wordpress.com/2024/07/21/the-coming-monetary-catastrophe/

And what we’re acting all surprised about today, is only just the beginning…

Through the last thirty years, I’ve had a good record of calling our various minor monetary catastrophes.  I did not foresee the genuinely evil madness of 2020, but I’ve been increasingly urgent in my warnings of The Big One.

We do not have a lot of time to fix this.  We have to stop re-electing the people who’ve put us on the edge of not just a bad day on Wall Street…but many bad years on Main Street.  I really do have a proven plan to fix it all.

Are you interested yet?
