- Speak truth to power, to rally our allies into the liberty movement *
- Pledge aid for liberty and justice prevailing wherever it is threatened
Here’s what we do:
“To no one will we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay, right or justice.” – Magna Carta, clause 40
It’s how you use it…
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to young and old alike, we bring you fascinating tales from around the globe of political mischief and mayhem to marvel at! It’s a three ring circus of innovative proportions, and we even allow you to participate, so let loose the lions upon the clowns and enjoy the show.
The term Hammer of Truth comes from a very long time ago and is what it says: a tool. What’s more important is who swings it to smack the fuck out of the bell of liberty (You know how we broke the first one? Passion!) or to forge the sword of justice. Yes, it’s a fucking awesome name… we know. Also, we love excessive swearing and shit.
We are independent, libertarian with strong coffee party tendencies. This means we openly advocate pro-liberty, pro-constitution persons or actions. Just as importantly, we seek to propel liberty’s momentum by fostering effective, mass actions initiated by those brave enough to lead the way. We strive to recognize excellence in the liberty movement regardless of origin. We fully endorse and practice ethical journalism and never shade the truth to satisfy a partisan argument.
Originally started a very long time ago, the site evolved towards a more politically-focused blog, but whatever. As more people began to influence the conversation Hammer of Truth was shaped as a dedicated site to free markets, liberty, and political reform. There were moments of severe awesome, and major fuckups along the way. We relaunched the site in 2010 with a renewed vigor to transform ye olde We the People‘s republic into something we can be proud of once again as a beacon of kickass prosperity. We are the mighty men and women outclassing our contemporaries, shining examples of freedom, justice and valor.
We have to actually walk the walk, not just talk. We have nothing if not trust of our fellow brothers and sisters that we are mature and responsible enough to do the right thing, no matter how difficult. And accept the consequences, repent and be held accountable when we follow the wrong path. Transcend the long shadows of history and help us as we are all reborn anew each day.
“Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.” – Mark Twain
I am Anonymous: ANONYMOUS does not exist – it is just an idea – an internet meme that can be appropriated by anyone, anytime to rally for a common cause that’s in the benefit of humankind – whether or not these appropriations are legitimate is decided by the rest of the internet citizenry – the only legitimate form of power is that power that rests on widespread public consent – I am just an ordinary anon like the rest of you – I made these videos, websites, images, and activism posts because I believe in the importance and emancipatory potential of free access to information – any other anon can also make these or take up a leading role in the spreading of the ANON-consciousness – Yes, I am ANONYMOUS – but so are YOU – ANONYMOUS does not exist
WE ARE ANONYMOUS – WE ARE LEGION – WE DO NOT FORGIVE – WE DO NOT FORGET
JOIN FORCES and help us hone our gonzo newsmongering warlock skills and train each new generation of pimple-faced, doughy-bodied, undisciplined liberty fighters how to be effective in acting for justice. We’re sewing the seeds for the next generation of trolls and we’re clearly not too bad at this junk according to Quantcast stats (we also use mint).
Just kidding, it’s all about size…
Man knows no master save creating Heaven,
Or those whom choice and common good ordain.
— James Thomson, “Liberty”

Seeking to master many trades, he’s been a programmer since 1997 — now a strategist, publisher, writer/blogger, artist, humorist and geek since forever. In the past he’s built elaborate management systems for the adult entertainment industry, managed Libertarian presidential and gubernatorial online campaigns (contributed thousands of hours of assistance to many others), and helped pave the way for several flourishing digital uprisings. He’s a newsmonger and scandalmonger you can turn to for a truth bias without bullshit. No political party holds any sway with him, heroic people in those parties are a different matter. He knows when to call it right and wrong and of course isn’t afraid to admit when he’s being a stupid jerkface himself. Audentes fortuna juvat!
