At Crazy Horse, South Dakota in the misty Black Hills, a dedicated team is carving the world's largest sculpture from a massive sloping mountain, creating a monument to art, history, freedom, independence and 'impossible' dreams. If nearby Rushmore is a testament to the government of America, Crazy Horse is a testament to the best independant spirit which has ever flourished in America; when comparing the two in person everything in the experience casts the difference in high relief. If you can, visit this testament to two men—one artist, and one warrior hero—but otherwise visit this website. |

Electronic versions of William Blake's printed color plates; read his poems in the original layout. Blake provided inspiration for the integrated space of The Promethean Trilogy's illuminated design (along with hand-copied illuminated manuscripts from before the age of the printing press). |

Capitalism, Economics and Individual Economic Freedom
You may find these sites educational, but I do not claim that they necessarily describe the Promethean capitalism of a Promethean society which I do endorse. |
|
Multilingual site hosting the main writings of the brilliant economic writer Frédéric Bastiat, who wrote That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen and more. |
|
Resources maintained by an organization for formulating ideas about voluntary alternatives to coercive state institutions, the Libertarian Nation Foundation. |
|
Economic freedom has been criticized as a Euro-centric idea based on Western cultural assumptions, inappropriate elsewhere. The Minaret of Freedom Institute argues otherwise. Their site contains articles illuminating the economics within Islam supporting its original success, and relating Islam to modern economic scholarship. Especially see: Islam and the Medieval Progenitors of Austrian Economics. According to this paper, free-market economics originated with Islamic thinkers! |
|
An excellent site dedicated to the great economist Ludwig von Mises and others of the Austrian School. Simply put, Austrian economists tend to be the economists that make sense in the real world with real people; Austrian economists learn from historical example, they don't use the artificial mathematical models for which economics is infamous, instead remembering that economics depends on individual human action, and they use their deductions to make the world a more free place. The tradition of Austrian economics really implies Promethean capitalism in the respect of firmly opposing statism, in the desirability of total economic freedom, and in the individual subjectivity of value. However, some Austrian economists have supported classical liberalism (minimal government) against the immediate threat of socialism. |

If you have ever watched a news report on events or subjects you knew about firsthand, you were probably amazed at how distorted the account was. The major media services appear to be far more controlled and censored from within and without than we ever like to believe. Since there is no such thing as unbiased news, or objectively accurate news, assume there is a bias in news as well as commentary on news, and that quite a bit may be left out or inaccurate. Just keep in mind the problems with sources of information. |
|
"Your best source for antiwar news, viewpoints, and activities." An intentionally provocative site which provides useful news and commentary links, run by self-described libertarians and featuring various columnists. |
|
This eclectic "radical" political newsletter featuring a variety of authors sometimes has good exposes on the abuses of power. It is usually interesting concerning imperialism and war. |
|
Blog with commentary on media and events by a great civil libertarian and skeptic of powerful interests. |
|
News selected from worldwide sources by automatic algorithmic routines, so at least no intermediate bias intercedes between your biases and the biases of the news sources. |

Site edited by a student and colleague of the late iconoclast intellectual, Murray Rothbard, follows his example in publishing commentary by people who say what they mean and don't mince any words. You are unlikely to relate to everything here, much less avoid being offended by it occasionally. I myself don't care for much of what Lew publishes on culturally-conservative themes, about religion or immigration or evolution. But you will find some uncompromising gems of anti-war and anti-state views here, such as vigorous dissections of political correctness, or reprints of Rothbard tracing the monetary motives behind corrupt politics. Articles by Butler Shaffer are also recommended. |
Not to be confused with this site of the same name, "The Memory Hole exists to preserve and spread material that is in danger of being lost, is hard to find, or is not widely known ... The emphasis is on material that exposes things that we're not supposed to know (or that we're supposed to forget)." True to its Orwellian inspiration, this site illustrates how much and how often the information we are provided is censored, spun, 'massaged' and bowdlerized. Aside from this benefit, it includes specific information we should probably all know, as in the articles Civilian Massacres During the Korean War and US Planned to Drop an Atomic Bomb on Europe During WWII. |

Interpretation of news stories according to themes from George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and additional commentary by the webmaster of the site. Probably Orwell would have disagreed with some of the associations made and I disagree with some of the commentary, but a great concept nonetheless. |
|
"Strike The Root is a daily journal of current events and commentary from a libertarian/market anarchist perspective." Often, little-known stuff can be found linked here. Original articles are hit or miss. |
|
Remember, citizens of Oceania: satire is thoughtcrime. Big Brother Is Watching You. |

Philosophy and Theory Relevant to Prometheanism
Online writings which may provide helpful additional material for those interested in the ideas of Prometheanism. |
|
Anarchism introductions, definitions, personalities and writings. |
|
The works of individualist feminists, including biographical information, as collected by Wendy McElroy. |
|
Wendy McElroy identifies herself as an individualist feminist and individualist anarchist. Her writings have frequently been excellent and she is a meticulous scholar. |
|
The mission of this site is to publish little-known philosophy and theory on a variety of subjects, especially from individualist anarchist sources. Not to be confused with thememoryhole.org. |
|
Pages on the clever, insightful, and irrepressably improper social critic, intellectual rebel, and bon vivant Henry Louis Mencken, who wrote and edited the well-known Mencken Chrestomathy and much more. |
|
This fine website on the author George Orwell's work contains his writings, in English and Russian. These include essays such as his bright and crucial Politics and the English Language, and his justly famous novels Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four. I would nominate the latter as quite possibly the most profound and important novel in the English language, and certainly one almost incomparably well-written. Nineteen Eighty-Four deserves continued and closer attention, particularly for its themes beyond the one most celebrated—'Orwellian' modern surveillance, in the form of "Big Brother"—themes such as Orwell's profound philosophical neologism, doublethink. |
|
The content of these descriptive personality theories may be useful for self-development, despite their necessary approximations of mental complexity. At the very least, these ideas can clarify some basic, individual differences of perspective. |
|
Several translations of the Tao online. Written by the sage Lao Tzu, this document is obfuscated by time and writing style. And clearly, it is not proto-Promethean as a whole. Yet, I have found aspects of it quite compelling. The Way of Prometheus takes inspiration for its name from the Tao (Way). |
|
An online version of the book Uncommon Sense: The State is Out of Date by Gregory Sams. An unusually extended socio-political application of chaos theory, much of which is quite convincing. Very readable, and recommended. |
|
An author, futurist, and "guerilla ontologist" of Illuminatus fame, Wilson has many perceptive things to say and is recommended, if only because the unusual is refreshing, and because of the questions that reading him will force you to ask. |
|
E-book by Butler Shaffer collecting his previously published articles, which I recommend as supplements to the content on promethea.org. |
|
Decide for yourself about uncovered evidence concerning UFOs, WWII documents, FBI files, military aviation, nuclear and biological weapons, government agency strategic plans, and more in this massive archive of secrets. |

"Cryptome welcomes documents for publication that are prohibited by governments worldwide, in particular material on freedom of expression, privacy, cryptology, dual-use technologies, national security, intelligence, and secret governance -- open, secret and classified documents -- but not limited to those." |
|
WikiLeaks protects the confidentiality of its sources, including whistleblowers, and has broken many stories (such as this video) for which they have received much attention and made many enemies. WikiLeaks has even exposed secret U.S. Intelligence plans to neutralize WikiLeaks! |
Material on wars and other group violence today, and on the private defense possibilities of the future, to supplement discussions in Anticonstitution for a Promethean Society: Ending War and the series of essays Fighting Future War. |
|

Ran HaCohen's columns on the ongoing Israel conflict at Antiwar.com. |

(Precursor to the version included in The Myth of National Defense.) The Austrian school economist Hans-Hermann Hoppe uses what is clearly an economist's mind to explore the private security of a stateless society and explode a statist assumption, the myth of collective security, often credited to Hobbes for its deliberate formulation. Because everything life-advancing tends to have multiple approaches which, ernestly and conscientiously followed, will lead to the same destination, his means do not contradict the similar Promethean conclusion that post-government security is viable and desirable, discussed in The Promethean Trilogy using a different approach. |
