Mission
The LibertyLion® Mission is to create a Liberty Knowledgebase that will make the principles of liberty easily accessible and understandable. By collecting, simplifying and disseminating the dispersed wisdom of those who understand liberty, LibertyLion will help people learn and apply the principles that make freedom and prosperity possible.
The Best Information at Your Fingertips
Like individual stars in the political night, many excellent sources seek to shine light on the problems we face. Although some are brighter than others, they are less effective individually than they could be collectively.
LibertyLion® Agora is a newly created clearinghouse of Liberty that features a Liberty Knowledgebase that will pull all these lights together. Built from user generated content like Wikipedia, the knowledgebase will gather all the best information scattered throughout thousands of books, websites, videos etc. Simplified and tied to correct principles, current events, and opportunities to make a difference, and presented in a user friendly format, this collective wisdom will support all the dedicated work already being done, enhancing its visibility and effectiveness.
Real Hope and Change
Constructive hope and change will only come when the people understand the roots of their freedom and prosperity and the threats to its continuation. Our elected representatives will not change until the majority of the people demand real long-term solutions rather than quick fixes designed garner votes and ensure their reelection.
The people must be fortified with knowledge and understanding so they will be able to see through the flattering and inflaming rhetoric, and recognize statism and class warfare as deadly traps, and liberty as the only solution. The people will not demand constructive change until they understand why we have the problems we do and what the realistic options are to solve those problems.
Those who work for a living generally have little time to get involved in politics. This needs to be changed by making it easier to learn, share, and act in the limited time available. Information and misinformation is everywhere, while understanding is scarce. Freedom cannot be maintained in ignorance. Gathering and summarizing all the best information into an easily searchable knowledgebase will greatly simplify the process of keeping up with current events, applying the principles of liberty, and deciding what to do to improve our chances of remaining free.
Moral High Ground
Those who seek greater government power and control over every aspect of life claim the moral-high-ground, by showing paternalistic concern for the poor and a zeal for what they believe is in the best interest of the people. And most of the people have accepted with proposition without question. Those who who disagree with this view are portrayed as villains while those that create prosperity in the free market are acused of greed.
The true moral-high-ground can only be found through the study of accurate information about the real sources of prosperity and the ideological threats to its perpetuation. Those who believe that freedom and prosperity are based on individual initiative and effort rather than government command need to reassert through evidence the necessity and morality of the principles of free agency and individual liberty that form the foundation of prosperity if public opinion is to be reversed.
