Truly Optimistic, Truly Without Fear, but Burned Out on Politics, and Besides, That Game Needs to be Spanked Upside the Head (We Need a New Game).
First: Truly OptimisticYou know all those fascist laws Congress has been passing since 9-11, such as the Patriot Act and the recent "Violent Radicalisation and Homegrown Terrorism Act" (HR 1955 and S 1959)? Very possibly, all these acts are just to scare the living daylights out of the openly dissident, and very possibly no one will ever actually use any of these laws to their full effect. Or even to any effect, unless an actual terrorist geroup is running about. Naturally, that doesn't mean these laws are a good idea. These laws are terrible because they clearly violate some part of the Constitution. It is possible that some groups of Muslims will be rounded up, which would be a very bad thing as was rounding up Japanese Americans during WW2. It is possible that, under Hillary (please folks don't let her become the next president!), "militia" types will again be targeted. Or, under "evangelical" Huckabee, anti-Dominioinst Christians such as myself will be persecuted. Or, under Obama--who IMHO is a closet racist against whites--politically incorrect white people, supremist or not--will be hammered by Obama's "brothers" in the "hoods". Or a Zionist like Guiliani will "deal with" people who don't put Israel first (I am not out of line here: nearly all of Guiliani's campaign advisers are dual citizens of Israel!). Yes, it is possible that these fascist laws will be used on someone, or else why in the world would THEY have passed such police state laws? I am not naive to think these laws have not already been used on some unfortunate people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, this is nothing new: laws similar to these fascist laws have been on the books for many years. The fact that Halliburton has built concentration camps (they claim for illegal aliens) is nothing new. Under Reagan's Executive Order that instituted the "Rex 84" program, concentration camps were being processed back then, using abandoned military bases. But, still, here is what is new under Bush: Habeas Corpus has been wiped out thanks to abrogating the 1874 Posse Comitatus Act under the Military Commisssions Act of 2005. In 2006 Bush declared that he could declare martial law at his whim. Torture, which the CIA has used for years, is now open policy. Wiretapping laws without oversight. Telecoms can now, legally and without oversight, spy on anything you say on the phone or type over the internet. And more...I had a whole list, but these will suffice it to say more than ever that THEY mean business. So I am not being naive to think that what is right here on this page is not going unnoticed.
But still, I have no fear...not that they won't come for me just because I live in a remote area. Or because I am just some blogger among thousands bringing up these issues so THEY really don't think I am worth going after. I have no fear precisely because THEY are "powerful" but also incompetent, and God is watching over me ever since I put my life into His hands a couple of months before the "Republic of Texas Standoff" out here. I don't live in fear because I already have: having believed that, because I knew the leader of the Republic of Texas movement, THEY would come after me. THEY would take my kids away and put me in jail. This didn't happen, and God has protected me ever since. THEY could still come after me, though, because I won't be silent about what diabolical schemes THEY are conjuring. But let THEM come; I am prepared physically, emotionally, and especially spiritually.
It is you folks still living in the cities and suburbs, you folks who might have nosey neighbors who are spying on you and are ready to turn you in because you offended them (and besides, these people need the money bribe they will get, and, further, they need the "protection" they'll get by being rats), your kids ran on their lawn, you have a running feud with them...or you folks with a jealous ex-spouse, a troublesome teen, the mailman, or whoever...someone mad enough at you to "report" you to Homeland Security, where you might not be arrested but they might make your life hell for a few hours. It is you folks who are clueless as to the danger of losing liberty--and it is even you folks who think a little liberty given up is a small price to pay for "safety" and "security"... I know that I have put up this site to encourage the "remnant" that still prefers liberty and self-sufficiency to false "safety" and consumerist "convenience". Still, I also want to be able to reach out to the rest. I also write for the 70% masses who are just starting to wake up or are still willfully asleep. There is going to come a time when having to live in a densely populated area will have very little justification. Your job? What good will that do when there is chaos about you and "the bus" that will forceibly take you to a concentration camp is coming down the street "for your safety" (ask those who chose or were forced to remain in New Orleans during Katrina...the Superdome was one big 'concentration camp.' These camps don't have to evoke images of Auschwitz.). It may be years before serious social unrest is upon us, but why wait until then? Wouldn't it be better to have a retreat in the rural remote to go to instead? So, yes, this site is also for those who think all this won't even happen. Being prepared, however, to survive such a state lets me be optimistic!
Second, "Burned Out on Politics, and Besides, That Game Remains the Same (We Need a New Game)." I can finally say, after the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire Primary, that I am going to move on from any intense interest in the 2008 Presidential Election events. In fact, I probably won't even vote for Ron Paul in the primaries--why should I waste a vote into a Diebold Machine which may not count it properly (see below...Ron Paul was clearly defrauded, as was Obama, but as of Thursday afternoon Paul has not demanded a recount! Unless he does, I won't give him another dime and won't vote for him in the Texas Primaries no matter what!)? And another thing: Ron Paul is NOT my Savior, Christ is! After reading this article, which suggests Paul's presidential run is a distraction from the real fight to restore liberty, I can see where Ron Paul's sudden decision to run for President back in February, 2007 just might have come from a motivation that maybe isn't what Dr. No says it is. Now I am not saying that Ron Paul is one of THEM! What I am saying is that Paul has provided, perhaps, a ready-made distraction (because THEY will not allow him to ber President unless THEY are forced to allow it) to keep us in THEIR GAME, the "civic duty to vote", instead of going outside THEIR game to restore our freedom. Remember my "devil's advocate" piece. I have known for a long time that the best Paul could do was bring the troops home, and probably not much else. And then what? I know for a fact that (since I live roughly 80 miles from the Mexican border) a combination of US Troops and Border Patrol have been trying to use Eminent Domain to kick landowners off parts of their land so that a border fence can be built. Can a fence keep illegals or terrorists out? I have my doubts. Now, I had supported Paul's idea of putting troops on the border in the past (since, after they return from Iraq, they'll need to do something)...but NOT if these troops are going to harrass civilian landowners! Folks have long memories of that Redford incident where troops killed a shepherd boy supposedly by mistake. Then there is Paul's notion of backing the dollar with gold. Just what would he have to do to accomplish this? Just where is he going to get the gold from? Rothschild? Would he have to confiscate it from gold owners and numismatic coin owners? From the results of the two primary/caucus events it can be seen that Paul probably will not get the Republican nomination, and McCain, who is just as maniac as Guiliani, won New Hampshire big, with Romney again second. Either Obama or Clinton will win New Hampshire. What this means is that Ron Paul's radically change-oriented campaign is going to have to head into the teaching mode and either drop out for 2008 or run third party (which he said he wouldn't do). In other words, the so-called Ron Paul Revolution needs to keep on working to educate Americans for the next go-round (if there IS a next go-round!) where, I imagine, a "revolutionary" who has run for Congress, wins a seat, then takes up where Paul left off (since Dr. No will be in his late 70s by then, I can't see him running in 2012). While I was hoping Paul would finish at least second or third in these races, he won't, and likely won't in any other causcus or primary either (I believe that because supposedly New Hampshire is the most "libertarian" state in the country...with McCain doing so well I would have to say NH is no more libertarian than NJ!), I believe that too many Americans just do not want that kind of radical change, nor do they understand these changes (heck, I don't fully understand where Paul is coming from on some of his positions!), nor do they believe these changes are necessary--after all, very few American understand just how our freedoms are being taken away. Since the MSM has not reported on HR 1955 or S 1959, or that incident involving a loose nuke from Minot AFB, or other issues reported on many of the blogs, is it any wonder that so many Americans don't really know what's going on? Further, that cute little incident with Iranian speed boats and US ships in Hormuz that the media harped about..."Iran is attacking us!"...DEFINITELY gave mad bomber McCain a lift! Gee, was that planned or what? So, in conclusion, America just may not be ready for Ron Paul. And, if Mr. Ward (the one who suggested Paul was a distraction) is right, and if this piece is accurate, that just might not be a bad thing for now.
Further, the Paulians are driving me nuts! I don't blame Ron Paul for this. Browbeating Sean Hannity in New Hampshire is only going to make folks believe that if his supporters are crazy then Ron Paul must support this kind of behavior, and therefore, he is also crazy! And would sites like Lew Rockwell please start to get a clue? Gushing all over the "Revolution" isn't going to make it happen. Making a big deal about Paul's 10% finish in Iowa and beating Guiliani was perhaps counterproductive because what that did was to give the false air of "victory." As I said above it is going to take a lot more education about Federal Reserve and taxation and "sound money" and all the other stuff that most Americans don't get. I don't blame Americans for this, and, in fact, I don't even blame the media. When Paul was on Russert's show, Russert had no idea what Paul's economic positions dealt with! And I am not going to blame FOX News' nonsense about keeping Paul out of last Sunday's debate, or the "smearbund." People like Hannity and O'Reilly and Glenn Beck basically do what they are told by their corporate owners. These guys are tools, and Americans know they are tools. Like I said, this country isn't ready for someone who places liberty first and security second. But Americans might feel differently after a few years of lockdown. I have lived lockdown, and, one of these days, I will tell that tale.
So I think a new tack is needed...other than Paul, the other viable candidates--all of them!-- are scary (NO, I am NOT scared!). Huckabee, the Dominionist who no one ever heard of until he spoke to the CFR, is scary. Mad bomber McCain, who wants to force National Service on us all as part of his phony "National Greatness" program (I believe the time is past for that, and where is he going to get the money? China?), is scary. Guiliani, who is Mussolini in drag, is scary. "Flip" Romney isn't as scary as the other three but he's still somewhat scary. Clinton is scary, even when she does cry. Obama, the "Kennedy of the New Century" who wants to bomb Pakistan and goes to a racist church AND is being run by CFR Trilateral Zbigniew Brzinsky, is scary. Edwards isn't as scary because it is obvious he will not win the Dem nomination. Well, okay, Richardson and Fredhead and Duncan Hunter are not scary but they won't win either. So on to the new tack. I am going to get away from this "election" campaign nonsense, and start looking into and writing about alternatives to taking part in the "system". Because if anyone-but-Paul gets to be the next President, there is no telling just how low this country will go. "Anyone-but-Paul" is incompetent, oligarchical, corporately owned, in the hip pocket of a foreign power (need I mention who that foreign power is?), anti-Constitution, anti-American people, pro-war, pro-terror against the people, criminal, and psychopathic! Truly, the folks besides Paul (and Kucinich and Gravel) who are running for President are probably the worst leaders the people could hope for. And I have a funny feeling that after he or she gets the power they crave, his or her presidency just might lift W. Bush out of the "Worst President Ever" spot!
Finally, was there vote fraud in New Hampshire? According to this site, Hillary may have stolen the precincts where Diebold Machines were used, whereas Obama clearly won precincts with hand counts. But Obama, who is part of the same "tool of the oligarchs system" that Hillary works for, doesn't give a crap and conceded the vote. Let's hope Ron Paul isn't that foolish--apparently, at least two precincts that supposedly had "counted" zero votes for Paul had several by eyewitness account confirmed here. The Paul campaign needs to get on this by Friday. If Paul concedes the fraud against him for the sake of "being a good sport," he deserves to get defrauded! And that might be some proof that he, too, is a tool of the oligarchs! Again, I say I will not contribute any more words in his support, will not send him another dime, and will not vote for him ever unless he does. If he can't even defend the honest votes he has, there is no reason for anyone to do anything more to help him become President. The latest I have seen though is that Dennis Kucinich is going to file for a recount and stop the certification process. Who would have though Kucinich, who has betrayed his supporters in the past, would have more cajones than Paul on this issue?
