O’Brien’s Map of the World by
Hans Sherrer was published in the Second Quarter issue of The Voluntaryist
(Whole #113)
This essay explains that there is a fundamental difference in the thought processes of people that love
liberty and engage in “free, conscious activity,” and those that mindlessly
follow the dictates of those they consider to be authority figures—which is
symbolized by George Orwell’s character in 1984 known as O’Brien. The book cover shown is a photo of the 1st edition published in England
in 1949. The essay is in HTM format, and doesn’t require any special software.

The Myth of Foreign Terrorism : the
events of 9/11 weren’t the acts of terrorism they are portrayed as being by Hans Sherrer is a 27,000 word essay
explaining why there is no definitional basis to justify blaming the events
of September 11, 2001 on foreign
terrorism. In contrast, the most
conspicuous beneficiaries of 9/11’s
events have been politicians, police
agencies, and defense and security oriented businesses associated with the
federal government. It also discusses an important but little known episode
in American history that helps to explain the
fervor with which influential people associated with the federal
government have seized on the events of 9/11 to obliterate the Bill of Rights
and the liberty of Americans. The file is 570K and in PDF format. It requires the Adobe Reader. If you

Rule By Punch Cards or: How Computers Are A
Menace to Liberty by Hans Sherrer This essay was published in December 2003 by
McFarland Publishing in the anthology,
National
Identification Systems: Essays in Dissent.
The essay explains from a historical perspective why computers
are the greatest menace to human liberty yet created by man. Conceived and
first developed in the late 1800s as a device for the federal government to
efficiently compile, analyze and store data about Americans, the very nature
of the computer is to impair a person’s liberty by undermining their “right
to be let alone.” The file is 180K and in PDF format. It requires the Adobe Reader. If you
