Jeff Riggenbach & Historian Dr. Rex Curry

JEFF RIGGENBACH SCHOOLED ABOUT HISTORIAN DR. REX CURRY’S DISCOVERIES

Jeff Riggenbach (January 12, 1947 to January 24, 2021) had many commonalities with other libertarians, including Tom Woods, Lew Rockwell, Jeff Deist, Paul Gottfried, etc. One commonality (and a persistent problem among libertarians as much as among democrats and republicans) was ignorance of the fact that Hitler et al did not describe their movement with the words “Nazi, Fascist, Third Reich, nor Swastika.” Riggenbach didn’t know that Hitler’s ilk described themselves as “Socialist” (by the very word) in their voluminous speeches and writings.

Riggenbach was schooled by Educational Outreach Programs (EOP) about discoveries from the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry’s archives. As far back as 2016 the EOP explained to Riggenbach that Hitler did not use the term "Third Reich" (a popular myth spread by the old media, news, schools, universities, everyone).  Below are screenshots of public social media posts of the date (January 29, 2016) when Riggenbach first learned the truth.  The thread cites the book "THIRD REICH - Swastikas were "S" letters for "SOCIALIST" - the USA's Pledge of Allegiance was the origin of Hitler salutes & Nazi behavior" by the author Ian Tinny, the Pointer Institute, and Matt Crypto, et al. The book was published on Aug 22, 2015.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014BU8L1E

Riggenbach's reaction upon being disabused of his lifetime of being lied to by MSM, schools, etc is the very common "Who cares?" or "It's not important." “Who cares if Hitler never gave speeches about his ‘Third Reich,’ his ‘Nazis,’ his ‘Fascists,’ his ‘swastika’? It’s not important if he always spoke about his ‘socialism’ and that his flag symbol represented ‘socialism’ (the name of his party). Who cares if I never understood any of that and no one ever told me?”

Instead of being angered by all the people who misinformed and miseducated him all of his life, Riggenbach lashes out at the person who disabused him for the first time, late in his life.

His common response allows him to continue his inaccurate use of the language. He can proceed with spreading and reinforcing widespread ignorance, as he did for his whole life.  It suggests that he will never share his newfound knowledge with anyone. Riggenbach passed away without ever helping anyone else learn the truth; not his friends, family, not even his own children. He wanted them to go through life with the same ignorance he had endured. The only time Riggenbach helped fight the ignorance was when he was publicly schooled about the topic.

After that, he persisted in aiding and abetting "Liars For Socialism." The Liars for Socialism who victimized and duped him for his entire life.

BPD Notes???

Hey, so I have been working in a Borderline Personality Disorder work book to try and better myself on my bullshit and I asked my therapist if he thinks I should upload my notes to my blog as like a sort of resources thing and he both supports and approves of this decision saying that it would be good for both me and my community because it keeps me accountable with continuing with my work in the work book but also helping you guys out if you are lacking BPD resources! 

Would you guys be interested in me uploading my notes here? I may also try my best to put some work pages in here as well in a tumblr format, with my own examples of how I would use the work page. If you guys are interested pls leave me comments or likes or anything to show that you guys would want that!

I also have two other books I’m going to be taking some notes on that my therapist had also recommended me. I will also leave down here what books they all are and who they are by in case you would also like to purchase the books for yourself. 

First Book: Borderline Personality Disorder Tool Box (A Practical Evidence-Based Guide to Regulating Intense Emotions) by Jeff Riggenbach

Second Book: Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents (How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents) by Lindsay C. Gibson

Third Book: The illustrated Happiness Trap (or you can get ‘The Happiness Trap’) by Russ Harris and Bev Aisbett

I’m sure you may also be able to find pdfs or downloadable versions of the books on places like z-library, so look  there too!

Detective fiction, science fiction, symbolism and the confessional essay—these are the main currents in America’s national literature. All distinctively American fiction writers derive from Poe. All distinctively American essayists derive from Poe and from Thoreau.

Jeff Riggenbach, “The National Letters”

[howieabel]

“Most's approach to anarchism stressed two main ideas: first, that it was necessary to abolish not only the state, but also the social institutions known as private property and the free market; second, that the intelligent anarchist must avail himself of what Most and many other anarchists of the time called "propaganda of the deed" — acts of violence that would inspire the masses and sweep them up in revolutionary fervor.” - Jeff Riggenbach

[anarchistin]

When one gets down to it ultimately, my anarcho-communism stems from a commitment to true individuality. My attempt to recover the power and the right of the individual to control his or her life and destiny is the basis to my anarcho-communism.

If anarcho-communism served to regiment the population in the name of libertarian unity, if it served in any way through collectivist measures to deny the rights of the individual instead of reconciling the rights of the individual with the collective, I would definitely stand completely on the side of the individualist who is trying to rescue above all that most precious thing that makes us human—consciousness and personality.

Wherever people defend the rights of the individual, I stand with them above all, over and beyond any wishes relating to how an economy should be managed or how people should govern themselves. This is a very strong commitment on my part.

I’m surprised I’m just now hearing about this. Sad day.

What then are the characteristic attitudes and preoccupations which distinguish American literature? I submit that they are basically three in number: the irreplaceable uniqueness, and therefore importance, of every individual in the world; the importance of individual political freedom; and the importance of individual self-expression.
