Welcome to theduel.us

This website is the first iteration of a platform designed to allow people to discuss and vote on who I should challenge to a non-lethal duel. The building of this platform will be as transparent as possible with regular updates through email to interested parties. Other forms of updates may also be deployed such as a podcast. 

As I am able to raise money for this platform the next iteration will allow interested parties to become a member by paying a $20 annual membership fee. All money collected will be disclosed and in some cases the expenditures related to building and maintaining this platform will be voted on by members. 

There is a page of this website dedicated to a peace treaty I wrote in an attempt to address Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Technology in the military and warfare. The concept is simple, instead of leaders manipulating the media to convince humans to go to war or building robots to kill people, leaders should simply resolve conflict with a non-lethal duel.

This website will expose how most of the leadership in the United States is cowardly and would rather hide behind technology and spy on people rather than being open, upfront, and transparent with their actions. The place of digital technology is not to spy on and kill humans but to aid society in becoming more equal for all humans.

If this dueling strategy to modern warfare is adopted by significant parties this website will facilitate dueling surrogates. People may voluntarily offer to stand in for a duel if a leader has been challenged. This is particularly designed for people like me who are forbidden to possess a firearm and therefore under U.S. law may not be able to participate in certain types of non-lethal duels. 

Surrogates may not receive compensation from the leaders they are standing in for. This system is supposed to be honor driven. Therefore if a surrogate dueler believes the leader being challenged is the best person for the job they may offer their services.

I have set up a three tiered incentive program for donating to the creation of this platform. Other fundraisers will be forthcoming if this one is successful. Please see the images and descriptions below and thank you for your support.

Donate $5 using the PayPal link below and you will be entered into a drawing for a belt buckle and two NRA knives. The belt buckle says “I will give up my gun when they pry my cold dead fingers from it” and is number 415 of a limited run of these buckles. The two knives come in a box from the NRA and feature the “NRA” logo on one side and the “Don’t Tread on Me” with snake logo on the other side.

If you donate $5 toward the website and disclose your email you will receive a raffle number 1-500. I will track the email and raffle number on a spreadsheet. Once 500 donations have been made toward the raffle I will print the numbers and emails and cut them into individual pieces. I will fold and place these pieces into my red hard hat from my time as an apprentice coal miner and have a neutral party draw the winning number. Your email will also be enrolled to receive updates on the progress of the site and the total money collected.
