[edit] Theories

[edit] Juris Naturalism

Maybury's viewpoint is "juris naturalist", which some--but possibly not Maybury--would identify as anarcho-capitalism. In fact, he coined the term juris naturalism because no other label did justice to the concept, which is modeled on the political viewpoints of many of America's Founders.

[edit] The Two Laws

Mr. Maybury bases his work on common law, namely

Do all you have agreed to do
Do not encroach on other persons or their property.

The first law is related to contract law. A contract is an agreement between two or more parties, in which they promise to perform certain actions for and recognize certain rights of the other parties. The second law is related to some criminal law and tort law. Violators of these types of laws have committed acts like theft or violence against other people.

[edit] Chaostan

Mr. Maybury has declared that nearly a third of the earth's surface is Chaostan, the land of great chaos. Chaostan is in his view prone to war, financial ill, and tyranny because they never received the Two Laws.

[edit] The New Axis

Mr. Maybury thinks it is possible that some or all of the areas in Chaostan are secretly co-operating, either through political alliance or along ancient ethnic lines. This term was first used in May 1996

[edit] Military Experience

Mr. Maybury was a sergeant in the United States Air Force from 1967 to 1971. He served with the 605th Air Commando Squadron in Central America, and with the 75th Military Airlift Squadron in Vietnam. He was also a General Military Training instructor at Travis Air Force Base; and participated in covert operations in South and Central America.

[edit] Books

[edit] Themes

Mr. Maybury's books are marked with emphasis on paradigms, or "models" as he calls them. One of his books, Are you Liberal, Conservative, or Confused is dedicated entierly to this topic.

[edit] Style

All his books are written in the epistolatory style, as letters from the fictitous Uncle Eric to his nephew. They convey an atmosphere of urgency.

There are many illustrations, maps and extended quotations of historical persons.
