I started writing online 5 years ago, in support of my first published political book.
Here's an analysis based on everything I have done with you in the last five years, my life experiences prior to that, and what I see in the world in June 2015.
Small groups of Patriots are prepping, training and improving their positions for The Big Ugly. Not enough are training seriously, not enough are - blah, blah. I'm speaking to the few who are actually doing work, not the vast majority who are just wasting days of their lives by pecking on keyboards.
Fact: No event in modern America has riled people on a scale approaching the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, the march toward Concord for munitions and rabble-rousers, or Sumter. Make no mistake, events of equal scale have happened, several times, but the response of We the People has been a shrug, a waggled finger, a shake of the head meant to connote frustration and maybe even anger. But nothing has been of significant magnitude to lead men to arms. The Return to Sender gig ruffled feathers across the country - that is a fact. Tempers flared. But no one punched, tarred & feathered or drew a bead on a Tyrant or one of his Enforcers over it. (Agreed - we did what we intended to do, and we dared Sparky to make a move - and he did not. Still a bit curious over that one...)
Bundy came closest. Americans did muster, with arms displayed and with full intent to use them if their line in the sand had been crossed. Once again - Sparky chose to stand down.
The Waco Massacre (Waco I or the recent Waco II biker gig) has not led anyone to the Green. TPP has not, either. Flying airliners filled with 3rd World people into the country and turning them loose hasn't sent anyone hunting. The fraud of the Dollar and manipulation of gold that has made a mediocre cut of steak $15 and hamburger nearly $4/lb at the market hasn't sent anyone out poaching, much less poaching Tyrants. The list of 'Intolerable Acts' could be argued to be long - except that most Americans choose to tolerate them.
So: I must conclude - based not on mere speculation, but exhaustive evidence - that there will be no Lexington, with a follow-on Concord, without a serious, paradigm-altering event. Something along the lines of a sudden financial collapse that makes most people literally hungry.
Political outrage isn't going to do it. Moral outrage has proven to be a dead strand in the DNA of most Americans. The overwhelming majority of Americans - 99%+ - have demonstrated time and again they will endure most any shame or degradation imposed upon them by those who mean to be Masters.
Prep and train, folks. Meet people who think as you think.
But unless you are willing to start this fight, or Team Evil does something stupid, this is over.
**Update** PJB just posted this piece. It rhymes.
Enemies of Liberty are ruthless. To own your Liberty, you'd better come harder than your enemies..
Like you I am utterly flustered by the overwhelming lack of response to a myriad of dread events. I talk to folks all across the nation on a regular basis. For the most part they say they are ready and willing. To what degree their actual state of readiness I cannot say. But there is a huge issue which I have yet seen addressed by anyone. Many folks see it too. As yet I know of no answer to the question.
ReplyDeleteThe question is, when the match is lit will you have my back? Really, truly have my back? Will you rush into the fray and carry forth?
Because until that is answered no one, even if they sincerely desire to, will strike that match. No one wants to die in vain. Even worse, no one wants to disappear hardly noticed as they submerge into the blackness because they rushed forward yet none followed.
Every day I more fully appreciate the work you are doing. I am not part of your specific efforts because I do not possess the financial means plus one other thing.
You're right,it will take something that makes the general population awaken from their tee-vee,Xanax,alcohol, and Ambien fueled stupor because they have been pushed out of their comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteMany of them have never done without anything,they either had "helicopter parents",got some form or another of .gov inc. assistance so they had power,heat,lights and food.
A whole lot have had everything handed to them by parents who were trying to be their friends-not parents.
I think you'll find that the majority of us in the III/Patriot/Liberty movement have had to work for a living,and didn't have a whole lot handed to us,didn't rely on .gov inc. to take care of all of our and our kids needs.
We're the only ones prepping,training,making an effort to connect with others who think the same as we do.
The rest will remain in their stupor until it becomes impossible for them to do so.
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Matthew 5:38-48
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 5:3848 King James Version
Even God said there was a breaking point. He didn't say what that point was. Neither did the D.O.I. It just said that when there is a breaking point (long train of abuses).
I cant say what the breaking point is either. Am I fed up? You betcha!
Will I rally on the green? Yep!
What is it going to take? I have no clue. But I do know that i am the watchman from Ezekiel. And I am always watching.
Many are watching, and waiting. And many seek positions of "leadership" by their words. The missing ingredient, thus far, is anyone engaging in leadership by direct action (and I do not exclude myself from that assessment, either).
ReplyDeleteWhen the missing ingredient arrives, we'll have us a cake to put in the oven. Until then we live under the simple rule; "no cake, no party."
Meanwhile, tyrants and their aparachiks are eating cake, every day.
We get the government we deserve.
We get the police we deserve.
Whe our actions change, what we are deserving of will change.
Not until...
WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
Remember, the 7 years war ended in 1763, the costs of which prompted Britain to take the risk of excessive tax rates, and leading to the Stamp Act of 1765. The institution of of the Stamp Act (though it was repealed) is, arguably, where the real resistance to the crown began. Between the Stamp Act and war was 10 full years! Even between the Boston Massacre and full war was five years. Thing like the take a lot of time to get rolling. Further, most of our countrymen are still convinced that voting changes things (how this idea still exists is beyond me). Until that lie is totally uncovered in the minds of many, no one wants to move past the voting box. At the current moment, few really believe that we live under a oligarchy, and until that changes, I don't think even William Wallace or Samuel Adams could rally a meaningful resistance. Personally, I have a strong heart to see rightful liberty restored, but I (like so many) am not quite to ready to die... and I most likely don't even get the glory of death in battle, I am useless as a soldier.
ReplyDeleteBut I say to you, resist not evil. Why would you want to? If we had the faith of a grain of mustard seed, evil could do nothing that we couldn't undo in a moment. Evil will always destroy itself in the long run.
ReplyDeleteProblem starts in what it destroys in the mean time. And since we being prefect, as our father in heaven is perfect. Probably isn't going to happen soon enough. We just better buck up, an make a show'in for ourselves!
K, spot on with the money thing! To bad it might turn out were only the .25%. So, lets be salty, and brave, so that the lord my love us!.To hell with the rest!....MTHead
