Respect

For those who would be tempted to view our times within the context of the American Civil War, the BP Gulf oil spill would represent Fort Sumter. We currently find ourselves somewhere between Fort Sumter and Gettysburg. The oil spill was the first clear shot across the bow of America. It gave our president his first opportunity to clamp down on America’s jugular. Since then, the Left has managed to rack up an impressive string of victories. Even counting a significant number of electoral setbacks (during midterms), this seems to have had zero effect on the Left’s forward momentum. The economy is still in trouble and our position globally has become increasingly tenuous. It is clear that the American Left is hard at work toward seeing that America slips to second or third rung status among nations. So far, they are succeeding.

I have long predicted that something will happen that will forestall the 2012 elections and that Obama would remain in office. If this is correct, it would suggest the timeframe within which to expect Gettysburg. Gettysburg could be anything, foreign or domestic. Too many fuses are already lit; too much ordinance likely to detonate. When it does, there will either be chaos or the system will collapse into a shadow structure (already built and in place).

No one is willing to fully accept that any of this can happen – not in America. Those raising alarms are systematically silenced, crushed by ignorance, and by a general unwillingness to connect the dots and follow trend lines to their logical conclusion. Others, only semi-aware, place their hopes on 2012, our next chance to replace the leadership in Washington. They do not consider the possibility that we might never get there.

How to prepare? First off, know what you stand for. If you stand for liberty and the spirit of America, say so outright and without hesitation. Your worst move is to succumb to the bullying tactics of the Left, or to retaliate in kind. If you happen to be on the left, come out of hiding and state your intent plainly. Stealth will no longer serve you. Everybody must have a voice in determining where we want to end up. For the exercise to succeed, all cards must be put face-up on the table. Winner takes all.

Recognize too that your money is gone. It is being used as a weapon against you - to get you to do things you wouldn’t ordinarily consider doing. Write it off; start fresh. Hunger is another matter. But even hunger can be used as a weapon for a righteous cause. Anna Hazare moved the world recently by going on a hunger strike – so did Gandhi.

Know where you stand and adjust to doing without creature comforts. Obama’s threat to raise a billion dollars for his reelection campaign is meaningless. The money he intends on using has no value – and he knows it. It is a bluff to fend off adversaries. Doing without money will be easier than it seems. For one thing, you can no longer be bribed or corrupted by it. You will be free to pursue what’s right and true. And your reward will be far greater than anything money can ever hope to buy, among these: self-respect.

Taxation Is Theft

Truth be told, nobody has any idea of what all lies buried in this toxic landfill we loosely refer to as our ‘economy‘. Even as far back as WWII there wasn’t enough honest money to fight the war. Every metric concerning our debt and spending is bogus. I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone would still accept paper money for goods and services rendered. JB is generous when he says this might take years to unravel - try decades or never.

Every dollar in our wallets should have I. O. U. printed on it in large letters. We’ve been drifting, running on fumes for so long and nobody remembers anymore where the anchor is. And, honestly, Obama’s contribution to the whole mess has been minimal. His sole failing was the result of his political bent which caused masses of people to stop working, which then exposed the whole thing as a fraud.

Not capitalism, nor communism, no ism at all can take root on what we’ve managed to build here. It’s turnrd into pure, unadulterated quicksand, this pathetic ponzi scheme; this pitiful house of cards; this colossal failure that has yet to fully reveal itself. Banks are guilty only insofar as they’ve colluded with their political masters of both parties ever since Wilson.

It’s finally dawned on us that we’re dealing with outright theft. Taxation has become theft.

Even the most corrupt and heartless among us would hesitate to enslave certain demographic groups for a second time. And that is just how it’s worked out. To maintain the illusion of impartiality, the plan going forward is to beggar us all.
