Resistance is not futile

"Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them." ~ Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of Taking up Arms, July 6, 1775

Who remembers Star Trek: The Next Generation? I'm dating myself a little bringing this up - used to watch it on Saturday nights with the old man before I got "too big and cool" to hang out with him anymore . . . teenagers are shitty little creatures and it's a miracle of love that any of our parents allow us to live through these times in our lives without beating the living shit out of our ever deserving, smug, self-satisfied faces. They must figure someone needs to look after them when they're old, and maybe we won't, but, hey, it's like buying a lottery ticket maybe we will - can't win the lottery if you burn the ticket. I digress. Who else remembers the Borg? These guys brought into the collective popular consciousness the saying, "Resistance is futile". Obviously, yeah, well, that was, like, just their opinion, man. Which brings me to the topic of today's post . . . is it? Resistance, I mean. Is it futile?

This post was inspired by a small piece I found over at Activist Post by Sally O'Boyle entitled: Dear Southern Poverty Law Center and Department of Justice. It was an open letter responding to the publications by the Southern Poverty Law Center which paint anyone who's not a progressive meathead into the box of "possible terrorist". I'm not even joking. If you think government is getting out of control, and would like to reign it back, and, oh(!), are a little angry about it all . . . well, you sir are probably a terrorist according to the filth at the SPLC. But surely this is just a few lefty, anti-american nutters, right? Sadly no. If you weren't paying attention you might have missed this little ditty spring of 2009 . . . the MIAC report (go here to see the scanned document which was leaked to Infowars). And who exactly is this garbage publication motherfucking? Well, let me tell you . . . people that have a problem with 1) The United Nations, 2) Gun Control, 3) The violation of Posse Comitatus, 4) The Federal Reserve, 5) The Income Tax, 6) Abortion, 7) Illegal Immigration . . . name just a few. Also of note are people who support third parties and their candidates. If you do not believe me, you may read through the document at the link provided above. At this point you should be scratching you head and saying, "What the fuck?" because if you are not, you have FAILED to pay attention and will need to try again. "Wait a minute!" you exclaim as the dots connect, "This piece of shit says I should be profiled as a terrorist!" Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! You win the prize.

Let me connect one more set of dots for you out there who are ignorant. The MIAC report was the product of what is called a "threat fusion center". Or, in layman's terms . . . the federal government working with state and local law enforcement to paint patriotic Americans as the enemy. Are you pissed yet? Because you fucking should be - there are fusion centers in all of our states. This is not an isolated to missouri incident. Your friendly, local, secret police are watching you too. O'Boyle's response to all of this: "Would you please tell me who else is on your lists, so that I might meet them?" Ha! Fuck the fuckers. I don't doubt for a second that part of the psychology here is to attempt a "chilling effect". Well . . . fuck them! Fuck them 1000%. Because, you see, resistance is not futile.

The answer to all of these reports and the encroaching central monopoly of power is to simply not play along. It's a helluvah concept. At the state level simply say, "No thank you". Seriously. What are they going to do? Invade Arizona? And even if the Feds not only had the man-power and political will to invade a single state, would they have the same nutzack to go do it to 10 or 20 states? "Oh, but this was tried and failed during the Civil War," you may interject. I'm not talking about secession and armed conflict (which is probably where the south went wrong on a purely practical level - all the mistakes of the south before, during, and after the civil war are beyond the scope of this blog). The states just say, "No," and there is not a fucking thing Washington can do about it. What are they going to do? Withhold money we don't even have in the first place? We're broke, and we don't want it anymore. Removing ourselves from the central government teat would be well worth the lack of a devil's deal to be on the dole in the first place. We live in a Constitutional Republic, and we have a solution written into the law of our land. The 9th and 10th amendment says, we say, "No. Go fuck yourself, you have no authority here," and then we wait. The change will happen if we simply peaceably resist.

The best way to recognize a tyrant is to make one, act like one. Remember the one who fires the first shot loses. Not only that, but we can show the country and the world that the degenerate minds that brought us the SPLC and MIAC reports were wrong, dead wrong, and we weren't interested in armed revolt at all, merely a political change that respected our wishes . . . we don't fire unless fired upon first . . . heh . . . either way, we win.

Steady as she goes boys. We're holding all the cards.

Bigger Stakes

For those of you who have not been paying attention (I do, again, implore you to pay attention if you have not), allow me to point out that Glenn Beck held some sort of . . . what? . . . a nationalistic masturbation session? in D.C. this weekend. Basically, Beck and many of his mouth-breathing, short-bus riding, brainless retards showed up and thumped their chests and ran around grabbing their erect cocks while shouting, "Ohhhhhh rah!". And what I find so depressing about it all is that this has been dubbed a "Tea Party" event. If the grassroots liberty and individual sovereignty movement were not already maligned enough by the corporate controlled mainstream media . . . we have to deal with the likes of Beck and even worse Palin (who, I am sorry, is kind of hot . . . she's got the "naughty schoolteacher" thing going on). Even if Tea Party types and those in favor of the Tea Party ideas found their way innocently and unintentionally enough to this event, thinking it was a good thing, they are likely missing the bigger picture when it comes to Beck (and Palin).

Let me take a moment to talk about these two, Beck and Palin. First off, I know Palin got a beating from the press during the last presidential election because the people who were supposed to be coaching her dropped the fucking ball. Was this intentional? I have my tin foil hat firmly in place when I say that I think it was. Sweet, sweet, little Sarah Palin was picked for a ringer. Am I really that cynical? Of course I fucking am! What I want to know is why you aren't too? Remember I'm asking you to start paying attention here, and this is American partisan politics at its best, or worst of you like, but I mean the same thing either way. And those of you who think Palin is an "idiot" or "moron" are fucking stupid. Yeah . . . she's an "idiot" and a "moron" laughing all the way to the bank and power as she increases the size of her political capital and media cojones roving around the country expertly playing into the sympathies of the grassroots angry and changing primary outcomes in many, many races while you sit there asleep, underestimating the little lady from Alaska. How do you fucking boneheads like "idiot" and "moron" now? You enjoy fruit? How about them apples? Again, shall we pay a little bit of attention? M'kay?

Beck . . . shit Beck's been in this for Beck since the beginning. And you can bet your sweet little ass I'm a cynic about fake crocodile tears Beck. Beck largely has the same discontent cohort, many well-meaning, watching his show and eating out of his hands. Bottom line he threw Ron Paul supporters under the bus with terrorists and character assassinated Debra Medina in the Texas GOP Governor primary the "Tea Party" candidate against the establishment Rick Perry because she would not say she'd fire someone who had questions about government involvement in 9/11 (and if you don't question the events of that day, you need to pay more attention - were malignant elements deep within the government intelligence structure involved? Hard to say for sure, but it's clear for whatever reason that the "official story" is odd, and there may be a completely and totally logical and non-false flag centered explanation for that day, but I haven't heard it. Ask yourself: why? Moving on). Fuck Glenn Beck, seriously. Fuck him 1000%. He's either inconsistent, which makes him a hypocrite, or he's playing by a very specific playbook in my opinion. And I don't buy the hypocrite angle for a single cynical second.

For whatever little good these two may do by bringing attention to issues that are important to those who love freedom and liberty they are out of the other side of their mouths continuing with rhetoric of your classical big government neo-cons, supportive of the police state, it's phony war on "terror", meaning, "even, you, could be a terrorist," and the foreign wars of empire aggression that make billions for the international conglomerates and do nothing for me, or you, or anyone else you know, unless they happen to be a billionaire. Blowing up brown people half a world away doesn't make me safer. I promise. The poppies and oil pipeline, I do notice, are doing fine.

I don't trust Beck or Palin, and you shouldn't either. You see the stakes here are high. What we have is a Constitutional Republic that has been hijacked. And to what end? You need to look no further than where the money went the last few years. Who got richer, who got poorer? Does anyone find it more than coincidental that the folks who got richer did so because the government passed laws and regulations that facilitated this transfer of money? Is it not yet clear to you that our Republican form of government based upon a Constitution of recognized natural rights has been turned into a fascist machine against it's will and this has been done while we were asleep after the gluttonous good years? Why were so many so naive' to think that the good times could only continue? Well the good times have not continued, and, in fact, they have come to a screeching halt . . . enter stage left the Tea Party. Which is really nothing more than the phenomenon of libertarians, paleo-conservatives, and the center right (the media like to call these folks the "independents", but I think these people are really center right) coming together on the same big issues for the first time, and it has caught the establishment off-guard. And I'm totally gonna channel "the Gandhi" here . . . “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” If you start paying attention, you see this phenomenon firmly in place, and this is why the establishment needs the Becks and the Palins. Someone to bring along the diseffected "Tea Party" movement back into the neo-con pen, where its energies may be channeled and controlled to further the big government agenda, because you see . . . the pigs are still at the trough, and the stakes are such that if the political class loses control of the new liberty and freedom movement, they're screwed . . . and as the last bastion of any semblance of real freedom and liberty left in the world, if the domino falls in the US, that's it game over, don't pass GO, don't collect $200 . . . liberty lives or dies HERE.

Sound extreme? I don't think so. Those are the stakes as I see them, and why we should not trust the obvious enemy within our own gates. Beck may sound good, but you need to pay attention . . . he's not our friend. Don't be another poor, sucker dupe. Look at all the people who bought into "hope" and "change" embodied in a man, a liar, our current president. Apply the same rules to Beck.

Till next time . . . be wise like serpents, harmless like doves . . .

"I have an existential map. It has 'You are here' written all over it." ~ Steven Wright

Almost two years since my last post. I know any "regulars" have long since dropped off. However, I hope to pick up new regulars as I attempt my hand at this blogging thing again. Since my last post, life got really, really, really busy. Work, ya know? Which is too bad because there was so much going on in the world that needed my opinion stamped on it in this little hole in the innerwubz. The boy. He now lives with me full time, and he likes to play, not blog. His mother has strong opinions about the use of my time, and apparently blogging is not high on her list (she doesn't understand me - never has, never will, topic for another blog, if I ever have the energy to get into it), which is all too bad because I'm actually kind of good at this. I strongly considered restarting the blog this last winter, but I went through what can only be described as, "outrage fatigue" . . . there was just too much going on in the world that I found horrifying that I just couldn't even bring myself to read the news for a few weeks. The muse slept and has reawakened, though I know for how long exactly is difficult to say . . . at the moment though, I am in need of an outlet . . .

Every day I wake up and I feel like I'm in the middle of one of those horrible 1980s B movies about some future, strange dystopia where everything has gone awry and no one is happy. I mean seriously . . . what the fuck is going on in the world? Am I the only one who can't wrap his mind around the insanity all around me? I don't know if all of the preservatives in the boxed food, the fluoride in the water, and auto-immune provoking components in the vaccines have come together to make the perfect fucking shit storm in the brains of many people, or what, but the shit that's going on in the world, especially by our so called, "leaders", is nothing short of insane. What I find even more insulting is that these people actually have the fucking temerity to attempt to explain themselves as if they actually believe in the shit that they do . . . and that's probably the bigger problem . . . most of these people do believe in the nonsense that they espouse. It's nothing short of mental illness, and I strongly suspect too often of an organic brain disorder from our poisoned food, but some people are taught to think this way at university, and others . . . well . . . they came up with this shit on their own. Beautiful. Just. Fucking. Beautiful.

What am I going on about? If you don't know, then you are either 1) one of the brain damaged, 2) actually think nothing is going wrong because you are a true believer, or 3) not paying enough fucking attention(!) (start paying fucking attention!). Everywhere you look you can see the encroaching of the State, and the men with guns the State needs to necessarily employ in order to make you do what is in the best interests of the philosopher kings, because there is no way you'd actually go along with this shit willingly. Who are the philosopher kings you ask? Good question. You know them. You know them very well, these are the folks that insist on telling you what is best for you and for your family. These are the people who will vote for and pass banking bailouts despite the people overwhelmingly being against it. These are the people who will pass a government mandated health insurance for everyone despite the majority of the people being against it. These are the people who are talking about "cap and trade" despite what one more tax will do to the economy of this country, and despite that the majority of people are NOT interested. What is even more galling is that the Washington insiders are not even apologetic about any of it, because they think they know best . . . even more frightening are the people who agree.

The BEST recent, modern discussion of this topic comes to us by Angelo M. Codevilla at The American Spectator: America's Ruling Class -- And the Perils of Revolution. Codevilla essentially establishes in a completely cohesive and rational manner the attitude of the elites, philosopher kings, the powers that be, or as he terms them . . . "the ruling class" and the disconnect between them and the electorate. It's a long article but worth reading, and I highly recommended it.

At the end of the day, you need to ask yourself: What kind of world do I want to live in? I woke up today, much the same way I've woken up for the last few years, saying, "No! Hell no! I didn't sign up for any of this shit - the bailouts, the taxes, the foreign wars, the police state with warrantless wiretaps and GPS tracking of vehicles. And I'm sick and tired of it!" I think there is good news because I see the folks who are winning primaries and I think there is some hope - lots of hope actually.

But then, I'm a cynic . . . till next time . . . I leave you with this
