Most Americans, even the minimally observant, realize that things are transforming at an ever increasingly frightful pace. Even the blissfully ignorant who chose this new type of 'hope and change' are coming to understand that the promises and edicts of our newly elected want-to-be god-king BHO, his high priests and courtiers, are NOT going to be delivered to the true believers as expected. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I do sincerely believe the plans of some very secret, and some not so secret combinations are beginning to come into full effect. The schemes designed in the marbled halls of world capitals, the dirt floors of caves and hovels of the Middle East and surely elsewhere have similar goals. Sadly, our collection of cheats, creeps, criminals, egomaniacs and perverts, elected and appointed, seem to be in sync with many of our avowed enemies. Although their intent may not have the sinister undertones of recognized terrorists and thugs, their ideological self-absorbed Utopian fantasy world view puts our nation, society and citizens in the same jeopardy. BUT, their goals; now much closer, have NOT yet been reached, and 'We the People,' as helpless as we may feel, must pull together and resurrect the fight started by the founders.
Fellow citizens you are not helpless or alone. Do not buy into the FEAR that the BHO gang is trying to instill. This sort of crisis is not new, although this post cold war generation has not faced it, nor anything akin to it. History chronicles the rise of the totalitarian regimes of the first half of the last century. Americans of the WWII generation and before faced it and defeated it on foreign shores. It took it another fifty years to wither and almost die. The difference today is that unfortunately we see it rejuvenating and taking hold all around us here in the 'land of the free, and home of the brave.' That greatest generation paid the price to give us our freedom, and now we must pay the price to pass it on to our children and grandchildren.
Let's begin to explore some of the options that free people have to combat the tyranny that is mustering forces against us. This is only the beginning of the conversation, and the ideas and experiences of others are certainly welcome. To format this discussion we will first examine the tactics being used against us. These are certainly not hidden tactics and any student of history, warfare, propaganda, philosophy and/or psychology will see these same tools used repeatedly to manipulate individuals, and thereby the masses. After identifying the tactics being used against us we will discuss our counter-actions. Keep in mind that we MUST NOT remain in a defensive posture, rather we must immediately go into the attack mode. No enemy has been or ever will be vanquished totally by a defender.
1. The first tactic being used against us is perhaps the oldest and most effective. You are being beaten down mentally and emotionall by being ISOLATED from others causing a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. Not feeling part of a group will certainly erode any feeling of security and remove the will to resist. I have spoken to many who are feeling this way about the present situation, and simply do not know how to change it.
To counter this 'divide and conquer' tactic is quite simple, and although it may take some effort on the part of the individual, finding a group of like minded supporters is simply not that difficult to do. Talk to people, join in with groups, face to face, not all on the Internet. Participation in churches, civic, and fraternal groups will help immensely. Find your band of brothers and sisters wherever possible. Get active with these groups, and if you can't find one close by then work on starting one yourself. Also, and perhaps most importantly find your local political party organizations and take a leadership role. Patriotism is not something to keep hidden. Follow the examples of those that risked their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. They did not stay hidden. They found one another, stayed loyal to one another, and built this magnificent nation. Why should we think we have any less a responsibility in responding to our challenges today? We are fighting an even more insidious tyranny, but we must not shrink from our duty. Our shrinking will dishonor those who have sacrificed all for our liberty!
2. This new regime is not hiding their intent to make each and every citizen dependent on the government to some extent. It has been recently reported that for the first time in our history a majority of Americans are receiving some sort of government subsidy or outright support. Our founding fathers knew that government was a necessary evil, but evil all the same. Our constitution made the government subservient to the people, but our present rulers, elected and unelected, now seem to have an inverted view of this. Once they enslave the people with perks and promises they can control them.
This is difficult for some to overcome. Many in our nation are second and third generation dependents on government, and for some reason many have developed a sense of entitlement to the stipend. Our task here is one of moral education. It must become apparent to every citizen that there is no 'free lunch.' Anything we receive from government had to come from the labor of another. If you find yourself to be addicted to the government dole, you must break your addiction. Now, this does not necessarily apply to those who have served our nation and are receiving pensions, or other compensation that was most certainly earned by their labor and sacrifice, but even with this there is a risk of being manipulated into supporting wrongheaded government initiatives. If we find ourselves in this situation we must make all attempts to become self sufficient. If we know people in this situation it becomes our responsibility to teach them the correct principle and help them to break free of the dependency. You might work within your established group to help individuals find solutions. It has taken a couple of generations for this nation to get into this situation, and if the proper attitude is going to ever be restored it will take a constant effort for years to come. We must not turn from teaching the correct principles by word and personal example.
3. The one weakness of the new BHO Reich that seems to be driving them crazy is the inability to COMPLETELY control the flow of information. HOWEVER, they are feverishly working on silencing ALL opposition speech. The main stream media (MSM) is for all practical purposes simply the ministry of propaganda for the almighty BHO and his acolytes. Although, recently some are realizing they were duped and are looking to regain at least a smidgen of credibility.
Your solution to this is to keep talking. Observe, study and learn. There are great Internet sites, and ubiquitous records to be researched. Become familiar with the websites and publications from your elected representatives, but if your particular elected official will not provide the information go to another. To date we still have access to he raw data before the MSM propaganda machine filters it. You MUST become a source of knowledge, or find other sources you can trust. Once you have established a trusted source of information plug others into it. If you have not already had the experience you will soon find that your fellow patriots are out there. Many of them have not discovered what you know, and once you show them you will be amazed at their passion. Stir it up in yourself and then in others. Write letters to the editor of you local newspapers, and get to know local radio, TV, and newspaper reporters. The smaller the community the easier it is. Start working the local media since they are much more accessible than you may think. Call the local radio talk shows, but make certain you have accurate and timely points to discuss. Engage the opposition whenever possible in public with a well crafted and fully understood argument.
More to come . . .

This has gotten me fired up. Dana and I are working on ways to get more involved in the community. We attend the local Libertarian group meetings when we can and we are working on developing a system to inform friends, family, and those in the community about how their representatives vote. More to come on that.
ReplyDeleteI just feel like we should do something. Where's my pitchfork?!
I'm in. I have never been so concerned for our country...this makes Bill Clinton look like a conservative! We need to find our voice and get all of these stinking bums disguised as repubs out of there. They're diluting our core. When do we meet?
