Yes, I am open to taking requests for free open source audiobook production

As Facebook and Twitter and other big tech firms continue to cement their positions on the side of progressivism, Google, Microsoft, Apple and many other companies, I just wanted to point out to others who may see this that I think that free open source audiobooks now more than ever offer a great way for any conservative to express themselves. In particular, its a way to create something high profile that can't possibly be silenced by big tech. This is in fact censorship proof.

I'll tell you right now, The Founding Fathers do speak for me. John Jay, James Madison, John Hancock and Samuel Adams, they do speak for me, as do the Pilgrims and the early Christian leaders who built this country. Consider this thought: What would happen if you spoke for them? I have done this, and its quite fun.

Now, I will say, that I do have specific goals for the ProgressingAmerica project, those include an abolitionist audiobook, a biography of one of the founders, but mainly, a dedicated focus on exposing progressivism using the words that they've worked so tirelessly to make sure everybody forgot. This is a reiteration of what has been in the project's "about" since day one:

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle - Sun Tzu (Art of War, Chapter 3)

Despite these goals, I want to try to foster more open source audiobook growth among conservatives, since I know so many around you and around me are frustrated about being silenced. Changing the rules is one way to win.

Now, one topic that I must insist upon is that I cannot do any work that was published after the year 1925 for copyright reasons. But if it was published prior to 1925, it's all ours to work with. That is the copyright cutoff until next January.

We live in a time full of lies. Our voices promote the truth.

  1. You have already read Technocracy (Social Universals - first series) by William Henry Smyth. But you should continue with the series and read the second and third parts. You can find both parts on archive.org.

  2. Thanks. I think the second and third parts are also complete.

    1. Took a few minutes to look around, I found this second and third series.

      It may be quite a while before I get to these. The Archive.org page for the Librivox production shows a little over 4000 have downloaded this, which makes it much less of a priority. You would probably be better served considering the recording on your own. Just being honest with you.

    2. If you search on Amazon, you will find books talking about modern day Technocracy and why it should be resisted. But finding primary sources for Technocracy requires more work, and sometimes the sources are mislabeled. On Archive.org, you can find a booklet which contains Technocracy Series 1, 2 and 3. However, Technocracy Series 2 and 3 also exist as separate booklets but were both uploaded under the name “Technocracy. Social universals”. So unless you clicked on the link, and knew what you were looking for, you would think it was a reupload of the first series. Not only that, the booklets themselves have horrible formatting and poor quality scans, which makes it hard for me to read them. And that is why I appreciated when you created the first Technocracy audiobook. Most people don't know Technocracy Inc. existed, and even less know that 3 booklets labeled Technocracy were created. So while reading those booklets are a low priority because they are so obscure, know that you would be doing a great service to the preservation of knowledge if you did read them.
