Escaping Tyranny: The Bitter Taste of Truth - Our only way out

It is a fact that with each passing day, hour and minute that increasing numbers of citizens are awakening to the trouble we liberty-lovers face.  I base this conclusion on recent reflection, conversations with friends, acquaintances and family - trends in the news, comments to web-based media stories, whistleblowers, marches, the desperate tone of the paid-media-liars... an abbreviated list... so what?  As my cherished friend Bru asks:  "Who will listen?"  It has taken me years to understand the complexity of this seemingly simple question.  Why?

Perhaps a more personal question is "Why do I care?"  Why should anyone care?  Why should you, dear reader, care about the so-called "truth?"  Isn't it more practical to dig in - mind our own affairs - keep a low profile - and ride the storm out?  The world will keep on turning - what can one person do?  Isn't it folly to believe that any one of us can really make a difference - what's the saying?...."You can't fight city hall."

Consider the war-propaganda poster below.  Notice who the finger is pointing at.  The poster begs "YOU" to sacrifice - possibly your life - for your country by joining the U.S. Army.  The INDIVIDUAL is targeted for one simple reason...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/Unclesamwantyou.jpg

... that INDIVIDUALS - YOU - and ME ...must be convinced to cooperate with those leading the nation because without our cooperation - the machine stops dead in its tracks.

The poster above doesn't get into discussions about the causes of the war, who will finance the war, the obscene waste of war, the death, the destruction, the debt, the loss of liberty "required" during wartime that remains lost long after the war is over... no... just a bumper-sticker-slogan urging YOU to blindly join the great cause - because your country needs you.  The assumption:  That all your thinking has been done for you by altruistic representatives you elected, representatives that know the facts - understand the big picture - and are taking life-and-death war decisions as a last resort - and as a necessary step to preserve our way of life.  

We didn't have the internet when this poster was made.  Things have changed - we no longer have to base our decisions upon assumptions - we can gather information and make up our own minds as to the morality of national efforts - that is - if we are willing to face the truth when we find it - and if we have the courage to act despite negative short-term consequences - it is our future and the future of those who will inherit the world we leave them that is at stake.  

Today - Uncle Sam wants YOU for a new "army."  This is an army of peace, communications, justice, and return to the rule of law - for everyone.  It is no longer acceptable for an adult to simply walk into a recruiting station to volunteer to carry a rifle, follow orders, kill people - while occupying a foreign nation that has never attacked us.  For an adult to blindly participate in America's present imperial wars despite the plethora of FACTS available to those willing to look demonstrating that our wars - and those in the making -are based upon lies - is a disgrace to the participant - and a disservice to the cause of liberty.  There is no longer any excuse for any adult to participate in the wars of aggression in which we are now engaged - or the planned war with Iran, Syria, Somalia - based on trumped up allegations with no foundation in fact.  Those willingly participating in these immoral invasions,  occupations, and mass-murder are WAR CRIMINALS.  Those opposing the psychopathic "leadership" of the U.S. are PATRIOTS.  

Perhaps you've seen the video below:

The rhetoric is inflammatory.  I'd bet that Mr. Carlson won't be carrying a rifle into Iran should America be gulled into a conflict with Iran.  This makes the stakes much lower for Mr. Carlson than for say, your son or daughter, or other loved one that will have to go.  Yes this is obvious - but when such war-mongering rhetoric is so common on "mainstream" corporate-bought-and-paid-for media - not only common - but the ONLY message to the audience - one must wonder why folks like Mr. Carlson are so enthusiastic for more mass-murder.  How do people like Mr. Carlson get so much airtime selling a bloodbath based on lies?  Who's interest is Mr. Carlson working for when he appears on the airwaves to gin up war based on lies?  

And why are stories like the following ignored by our "media watchdogs?"

"WASHINGTON, D.C. — Current and former service members staged a rally outside the White House today in support of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul.

Several hundred troops and their supporters attended the event. The veterans were men and women, young and old, some in uniform and some in plain clothes.

...

Ron Paul shares an unusually high percentage of supporters in the military compared to the other candidates and it shows in his campaign funding. TheCenter for Responsible Politics reports the candidate touted more than $95,000 between September 2011 and January in individual donations from current and former members of the military, higher than any other candidate. Obama comes in second at roughly $72,000.

...

As a former Air Force flight surgeon, he is the only former serviceman campaigning for president."

Notice that the ONLY CANDIDATE that is anti-war is the ONLY former serviceman.  Isn't that interesting?  Notice that Ron Paul is the candidate the troops support.  Don't you think it makes sense that if you want to "SUPPORT THE TROOPS" that you ought to support Ron Paul?  

YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU NOW

As an individual - YOU CAN make a difference.  The trend toward tyranny America is presently following must be stopped NOW if you care about leaving this world a better place than you found it.

It doesn't matter how insignificant you may think your actions are - discussing the issues facing us - helping awaken those you know to the steps we are taking toward tyranny.  Reminding your friends that history repeats - and sharing what you may know about previous tyrannical trends from the past - and how we are repeating that history.  Alerting others to false-flag attacks and "news" reports claiming some patsy intended to blow something up - while no evidence is presented.  

You can tell your friends about truth telling websites. You may meet resistance - fine - back off - try again on someone who is ready to face the truth.

It is time to say "NO" to those in trusted positions of authority abusing our rights - when they were hired to protect those rights.

It is time to hand the pink-slips to the crooked politicians who tell stories during a campaign to get elected - then do whatever their highest bidder tells them when they get to office.

It is time to say "NO" to illegal orders that violate the Constitution.

It is time to blow the whistle when you know lies are being fed to the public.

It is your call - Liberty or Tyranny.  Not a difficult choice.

Ron Paul Who?

What should be the "National Religion" of America?

Americans must decide what they stand for.  Our values are enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution +Bill of Rights.  


Our country has changed to become a melange of people whose faiths, cultures, languages, music may differ greatly.  But when it comes down to it - we all want the same thing.  Our liberty.


Will Americans step up to the task - pushing back those who wish to deny our great nation an opportunity to take a new leap - as we bring such diverse cultures together under one roof - where tolerance is granted to everyone, where everyone gets a fair shake, yet is free to do as they wish as long as they don't tread on the rights of others?


I cannot find a reference to this quote - my memory may be wrong - but somewhere I heard Abraham Lincoln quoted:


"Let RESPECT FOR THE LAW be our national religion."  


I say:  "AMEN!"

If only Rick and Mitt had a clue.  I think Merle pretty much sums up their vision of America under their (Egads!) ......presidency.....the lyrics...is it fair to say they reflect a viewpoint ripe-no - maybe rotten by now - deserving to be superannuated?  But there are those desiring leadership positions who just can't let go...who can't see the vision Americans have for what our country has become - and would be - if they would stop the madness - the Wars - on drugs, on terrorism*, on this, on that - and finally now on YOU and ME...

We don't smoke marijuana here - not even to save your life...

What's the saying?  "All Hat and NO CATTLE!"  Bombs away!

...Mitt cares...but NOT about you if you desperately need a certain plant for its medicinal qualities to stay alive...yes Mitt cares....about his bankrollers...

...but we have to look out for the rights of other people - like......corporations!

Deny medicine to a seriously ill American ....but "NO" is NEVER the answer when Israel needs something...

RESPECT FOR THE LAW:  THE REAL NATIONAL RELIGION OF AMERICA. 


It's time to stop the violent religious extremists - especially the American ones.


Vote Ron Paul - stop the wars - save the Constitution - for everyone.

* "War on Terror" - I apologize for using this term, as part of "War on Terror" because I try not to use phrases I don't understand.  I know that "War on Terror" means absolutely anything anyone wants it to mean - which in turn makes it...meaningless.  My apologies ...

War with IRAN: Those exempt...

Since I've heard the war drums sounding from the biggest hypocrites on the planet - I thought it fitting to put some pics up here for y'all to ponder.  These "people" will NOT BE involved in any combat in the coming Iran conflict - the first wants to clean up Iran for democracy - but has misplaced her broom:

PicWik My kid can't go - she's gotta new TV show that's failing....can you send your daughter to kill them Iranians?

my pic's from wik - Mom tole me them Iranians are BAD people - you go kill them - I'm busy climbing a ladder

my pic from wik - gotta' show to catch on Fox - now grab your rifle and kill them crazy Iranians!

my pic's from wik too!  See my shit-eatin' grin?  That's cause I have to lie to you my rabble Americans - or else!

our pic from wk too!  WE don't participate in filthy wars!  We love everybody.  So you go kill them filthy Iranians - OK???

Folks - you know as well as I that these idiots are lying us into another quagmire.  See all the fake-white teeth?  I thought Obama was a smoker?  Must be bleachin' those shining pearls to compliment that Madison Avenue Nobel-Peace-Prize winning lying smile...

Hey - I can see Barack and the Missuz not wantin' to hump a pack over those mountains over in Iran.  What with all the people from Iran defendin' their country 'n' stuff - might catcha' bullet.  Why not send the darlings in our place?  NOT - but wait - here's a "BETTER" idea....

Let's send somebody else's kids.  Yeah - ya' know - those dopey people we steal elections from all the time.  Those dopey Americans who worship that idiotic clownette lip-sincing a song during the half time of the superbowl - yeah. They are dumb enuff to walk through radiation scanners exposing their kids' genitals to radiation - if they are dumb enough to do that - surely they wouldn't complain if we made up some stupid worn-out excuse (like we did the last time) and lie them into the war.

Ugh.  This is so horrible.  But sometimes I wonder if maybe it's just ..... justice.

Consider this video we've all seen - pay special attention to the laughter - almost like we are watching Comedy Central - as good-ole-Wes calmly tells everybody how the psychopaths running the military were just gonna' go wipe out a country 'cause they didn't know what else to do.  HA HA HA HA HA!

"Secretary Rumsfeld" - ha ha ha.  He asked "Why?"  (laughter - a million dead and orphans and refugees - ha ha ha ha - hilarious!)

"Secretary Rumsfeld?"  You mean this fucker hasn't been fucking hanged yet?

Oh .....that's my question - that's not in the video.

Syria - Iran - blah blah blah - Superbowl - Madonna - superbowl commercials - right wing radio liars - left wing radio liars......stolen elections.......media blackout of Ron Paul ..........hyperinflation coming since the Federal Reserve is painted into a corner and can't raise interest rates even if they wanted to......China and Russia gonna' get in on this war - lotsa' money to borrow from the bankers - fuck sides.....

I wonder when the people of this country will wake up - and when the law enforcement idiots - will - for once - read the fucking Constitution - and figure out what they are SUPPOSED TO BE DOING - when the military assholes will stop calling the murderers "Sir" instead of "murderer" - or "liar" - 

Take off your fucking uniforms and start acting like MEN!

When I see a uniform - I see..........ZERO.

Just following orders "Sir."

If that is what you say and do every day - and that is how YOU - yes YOU - determine your actions - I can only ask you to do the United States a favor -and .......leave.....move to Communist China .......if you can't afford the ticket.....kill yourself.....OR......

ACT LIKE MEN AND NOT ROBOTS.  GROW UP.  I USED TO PLAY WAR TOO YA' KNOW.  BUT I'M PUSHING FIFTY - I KNOW WHAT IT IS.  

Don't forget - the pilot that flew a million combat missions against the Vietnamese over Texas worshipped Teddy"

Vid: 911 a Conspiracy Theory

-----

Note:  I should've watched this a long time ago and done my part to get the word out but I've been distracted from the 911 mess by the latest ramp-up to war with the next PNAC target, and the recent repeal of the US Constitution.  

An excellent video - really well-made - accurate, and expertly fit into a time-segment format our concentration-and-memory deficient society demands.

Really great work.  Too bad we have so many gutless turds in our government willing to ignore evidence, willing to "go along to get along" - willing to let the perps walk away from murdering our fellow citizens for their personal gain.  Willing to let firefighters drop dead of every disease under the sun.  

But there's still time for our public servants to awaken, to grow up, to realize our common peril - to realize the ephemeral existence they are living - the folly of empire.  The sin of mass murder - which pre-emptive war really is.  

Great 911 truth work I'd say.

This Machine KILLS FASCISTS

Hello my dear reader, Patriot, citizen - wherever you are.  Kindly play the following music (pay special attention to the message on his guitar) and contemplate the hereinafter reminders of current events.

You may have heard of this recent affront to a citizen:

"Witnesses said the use of a stun gun and the arrest seemed excessive for someone walking two small dogs off leash.

"It was really scary," said Michelle Babcock, who said she had seen the incident as she and her husband were walking their two border collies. "I just felt so bad for him."

Babcock said Hesterberg had repeatedly asked the ranger why he was being detained. She didn't answer him, Babcock said.
"He just tried to walk away. She never gave him a reason," Babcock said.
The ranger shot Hesterberg in the back with her shock weapon as he walked off, Babcock said.
"We were like in disbelief," she said. "It didn't make any sense.""

pic from: http://www.butterfunk.com/image-98/cattle.htm

Notice that the stunned witnesses - citizens - aware they were observing injustice - didn't do anything to stop it.  That's because critical mass requirements for the coming chain-reaction of public rage has not yet been reached.  These witnesses - and the victim of this crackpot "ranger" - can safely be added to the critical mass + side.  


Here's a picture from a recent episode of "police" "protecting and serving" up a nice cocktail of pepper-spray in the mouth to peaceful protesters...

http://w8r.com/2678/a-time-to-rule-and-a-time-to-resign

Again - nobody watching did a damned thing to stop the cops.  Is it because they all agreed that the cops were "just doing their job?"  Is it because they all believed - "deep down inside" - that  it is necessary for the survival of our society that these protesters take a hit like that - for the good of all?


Or is it because the "crowd" - enslaved by "herd mentality" and repeatedly conditioned by constant and incrementally horrible police brutality understand that they'd better shut the hell up or they are next?  I'd guess the latter.  But again - as the masses ineluctably accrue toward justice for all - the numbers of bystanders must diminish as the critical mass of awakened citizens  accumulate toward that undefinable critical limit - where the chain reaction becomes a matter of natural law - and the most basic forces of the universe - omnipresent - simply.......... ...BOOM!

What I find deeply disturbing about the FACT that America IS A POLICE STATE - are the contradictions - the hypocrisy of the participants.


The military folks - for the most part - active duty - are literally brainwashed - and have limited access to information.  The are also busy fighting for their lives and depend on the citizens of this nation to fix the political situation so that their actions will only based upon just cause.  


The police - on the other hand - I've lost patience.  They are clearly out-of-control, on the public dole, profiting from the temporary gravy train of Federal monies to support their tyranny-supporting enterprises.  They are NOT on MY side.  Are they on YOUR side?


America will soon reach a critical mass - as the power-hungry move us toward another war - a world war - using pretexts of "threats" from Iran to dupe the public once again into the next quagmire.


Think about it folks - if the Iranians had a nuke right now - how would they hit us with it?  Here's a possibility:

http://www.real-world-physics-problems.com/trebuchet-physics.html

If they were a threat - isn't it reasonable to feel confident that America would have no problem defending herself?  Consider one delivery system:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2e/USS_Maine_%28SSBN-741%29.jpg

There are so many more - it's hardly worth going into.  Crying about America being "at risk" it absurd - America has plenty of cans of "whoopass" - that's for sure.

Our risk is our economy - our manufacturing - and our ability to take care of ourselves.  What we, as Americans, and those out there counting on Americans to clean up our own mess here at home before we show up as missionaries of "freedom" with bullets and bombs - what we are really risking - are our rights.

Our Constitution and Bill of Rights are presently ignored by a government created solely to preserve those very rights on behalf of We the People.  

When, not if, critical mass is reached - the war will be over only when the question is settled whether or not:

" It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."  **link

Non-Spam comments: Apologies to commenters...

I found a bunch of really good comments that were in the spam filter box for one reason or another.  I went through the box and got them all posted to the articles they matched.

I apologize if your comment was delayed by the spam filter - I need to check it regularly but when I get on a roll with writing everything just goes to hell.

Sorry again for those commenters that were denied a voice during the heat of discussion.  I hope you will not be discouraged from trying again - the filter shouldn't stop your comment next time.
