Dare to Taste Liberty! You'll Never Turn Back

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-way_traffic

Welcome to the Revolution!  

I am an American.  I am NOT a flag-waver, blind-patriot, war-monger, international banker, apologist for murderous cops, my country-right-or-wronger, a republicrat, demopublican or any other canned variety of "great" American - on the contrary - I am of a different breed.  Are you?

1991 was a turning point for me - until then -for my entire life - I'd been a "true American."  Ya' know - a member of this elite club of rugged individualists - free citizens - with a government of the people, by the people and for the people.  It was that simple.  As I lectured some friends of mine - even as late as September 1, 2001: "We Americans, and America....are the "good guys."  Was I wrong?

I still know in my heart - yes that's a weak endorsement - but the flame is still alive - I know that we Americans - all of us - YOU and ME - I don't care if you swam over the Rio Grande yesterday or can prove family history back to the Mayflower - we Americans ARE STILL the "good guys."  But there are problems with such statements because there's a bigger picture out there - people in other countries want liberty too - so for the moment I will dispose of my usual Amero-centric (thank you commenter) viewpoint - and suppose for the moment that we are ALL AMERICANS.

But what is an American?  Why would anyone want to join a club that presently serves as bully-of-the-world?  Give me a chance....

Whoever you are, wherever you are, dear reader - is it safe to say that we all want the same things?  Liberty - freedom of speech - all of the high standards explicated in the American Bill of Rights and Constitution?  Can we agree that we all want a trial if accused of a crime?  Can we all agree that "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me?"  Can we all agree that freedom of speech is essential for a free society - and that individual critical thought as expressed via the spoken or written word must be protected from mob rule so that contrarian opinions, ideas, and facts can have a chance to enlighten the world?  If so - for the moment - can we all pretend for a moment to be "Americans?"

Folks who are recent arrivals to America may find some of our "freedoms" extreme at first - such as the right to bear arms - especially if our recently welcomed citizens haven't yet had enough time to grasp the heritage upon which such seemingly extreme citizens' rights are founded.  It may seem, at first glance, that guns in the hands of the public are a menace.  AFter all - if one relies on corporate-controlled propaganda for their information - a steady bleat of orchestrated events validate that "average Americans" are at the heart of gun violence, mass murder and sundry mayhem.  But the opposite is true - if one takes the time to seek out the answers from the new mainstream media - internet blogs - independent reporters - whistleblowers - writers - the information is available to those seeking answers that our own government is at the heart of the bloodshed and so-called "terrorism" we are supposed to react to mindlessly.  The problem:  A human mind in many cases can only absorb answers to questions it has itself formulated - if one is not asking questions - one may not be seeking answers - so remains trapped in the fake-reality bubble created for them and spoon-fed to them by a criminal-syndicate-run fascist media.  

It is up to YOU, my fellow revolutionary, to dig deep inside - to challenge that well-entrenched belief in authority - to take that first and most difficult step - considering the potential that your own government is run by a criminal gang - just like Al Capone - wearing suits and smiling for the cameras - while their Tommy-gun operatives riddle any and all opposition with a hail of lead - literally killing off the competition - or any wise-ass tax-paying citizen like YOU or ME - with the temerity to challenge their grip on power.

LIBERTY IS LIFE

Yes - back in 1991 I had an awakening - thrust upon me by total immersion in another culture - surrounded by people who were not "Americans" as I was then - but were really more "American" than I was.  Debates and conversations with these Euros and especially a particular Canadian - left me with more questions than I had answers for.  Yes - what a gift - to visit Europe - to be challenged not only in my work - but with questions regarding the actions of my country - very good questions that deserved answers - I got right to work when I returned home - only not to find the answers.

I went back to school - I remember during a certain project - I tried to trace the roots of an organization I was working for - a transnational organization - only to find an abyss that became muddled somewhere in New York - the dividing point for certain corporations that spanned the "pond."

I asked professors about the Federal Reserve - about where the money that financed WW2 on both sides came from - things that were only discussed in underground books that had been given to me - only to be rebuffed by professors with doctorates in economics - who dismissed me as if I were not capable of understanding this difficult topic of money - but never convinced me - since I worked on some rather complicated stuff myself in another discipline.  I didn't get my answers - my questions led to ever more questions...the New World Order etc...  

Friends gave me books to read - some claimed that there existed super-governments that really ran everything - I watched the George HW Bush, Clinton, Perot etc... theater - grasping little bits here and there - with each passing year - realizing that so much of what was to come had already been planned.  Some of the old-timers I knew - some of the Vietnam-era vets - told me things that I tried to dismiss - but couldn't - many of these guys had looked out for me as a wet-behind-the-ears "true believer" - never wrecking my love of the liberty American law was supposed to stand for - always encouraging me to stay in the fight and keep the faith - but easing me in a little bit at a time to the nasty undercurrents that existed - giving me peek here and there to the rotten core - a rotten core of corruption, greed, deceit and skullduggery corroborated by too many independent sources.  I wish I could go back and thank those sonofabitches - some of it is just now sinking in...

LIVING LIBERTY - 

Once one tastes freedom - there is simply no other way.

Being free - is a "one-way street."  There is no turning back.

Accepting reality is a difficult thing.  Acceptance of the true nature of things - understanding - realizing - concluding - awakening - all find their genesis in asking questions - accepting answers - accepting facts - examining evidence - letting the "chips fall where they may" - admitting we've been duped - these are the roadblocks along Liberty Lane.  

These hurdles are monstrous - frightening at first - sometimes depressing - but that first step - the moment when one says to oneself:  "I'm done with the lies - I cannot live this way - I WILL NOT live this way - I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS TO GO ON - I WANT MY KIDS TO LIVE IN A BETTER WORLD..." - that is the most difficult hurdle.  Immediately the light of Liberty shines - that feeling of LIBERATION from the servitude of the controlled slave to the empowerment of CITIZEN with RIGHTS - is a feeling that breathes new life into the previously dead.  Will you accept the challenge?  Have you already?

WELCOME

My dear reader - if you are reading this - it is possible, maybe likely that you have been on the fence regarding picking a side in this new Age of Enlightenment - this Awakening - this grand Revolution that will bring peace and prosperity on a scale unimaginable to the war-mongering psychopaths smugly planning their next false-flag, their next economic mess, their next land-grab-for-resources, their next attempt to dupe you into paying for their misadventures that end in poverty, war, disease, destruction and dispair.  None of us "good guys/gals" want that - so all of us must join together to stop it.

It has been my experience that being on the side of what is good and right and just brings meaning to my life.  I encourage you to join the enlightenment - in your own way - the war-mongers and crooks must be brought down.

If you are scared - that's a good thing.  It's a natural feeling - being scared - of the unknown - wondering if one's actions may bring bad "luck" - after all - those presently holding power admit in public that they have murder-lists - right?  Isn't that something to be afraid of?

Yes - and No.  You may already be ON the murder-list.  If not - maybe you'll be put on it tomorrow - for whatever reason.  But what if one of your kids or parents or brothers or sisters or cousins or friends are on it?  Shouldn't you be on the side of the opposition to put an end to such obscene and Kingly assertions of power?  

To hell with it - there is only one way out of this mess - the truth - a return to the rule of law for EVERYONE - not just petty thieves  but for scam-banksters, war-mongers, liars spreading hate and war - TOP-LEVEL usurpers of power that belongs to WE THE PEOPLE.

Patrick Henry said:  "Give me Liberty or Give Me Death."  

Both are better alternatives than servitude - only death is inevitable- the Liberty you'll have to fight for - if not for yourself - do it for your kids.

Thank (insert belief system leader) it's Friday!

I've been at this blogging exercise since March of 2007.  I sense progress  - it is encouraging.

CHANGING MINDS


As a tyro "writer" (actually blogger - and I can get into the differences) I've experienced a few ups and downs - and offer my life-learner lessons for you - my dear reader.  Perhaps these are elementary observations or simply admissions of my immaturity - or ignorance - it doesn't matter.  I'll put these thoughts out there for you to evaluate yourself.


I'm in my fourth decade of life on Earth - or this reality - take your pick - just offering that as a basis upon which you, my cherished reader, can judge the value of what I am about to offer for your perusal:


Before and during my earliest attempts at blogging - I would argue with people with the wit of a snake:  Tread on me and you will be bitten.  I've found that this method of changing minds is a failure.  Why?


Perhaps because reptiles don't reason - they simply react to whether or not they are hungry - or threatened - then strike with deadly force.  Either the reptile dies or the bitten does - but in the end - there is no real "winner" - no real conflict resolution - no understanding - no useful human "giant leap for mankind" - just pain and suffering for one party - survival of the other - while both await the next chance moment where to cross swords.  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gadsden_flag.svg

The Gadsden flag, pictured above depicts a rattlesnake - a truly native American creature - which I would use as a good way to characterize myself - except that I am Homo Sapiens - thinking man - and I have a cerebral cortex.  The idea behind the symbology of the Gadsden Flag with a rattlesnake is that not only is a rattlesnake indigenous to the "New World" - but gives a rattling warning - and only strikes those who don't heed the warning.


In my case - although folks were heeding my warning as best they could - they, also being homo sapiens, were trapped within their own belief systems.  I realized that I could never hope to reason with a fellow human being if I acted like a reptile.  So how to make the connection?


Blogging, and especially the debates that ensue in the comments section - helped me to realize that human beings - agreeing or disagreeing must be treated with respect.  They must be told the truth - as painful as it is - and I, in return, as a fellow homo sapiens, must EXPECT their wrath, in return for my telling them the ugly raw truth.  After all - if someone walked up to me and said "Hey Jackass - your breath stinks!" - wouldn't I be insulted and degraded?  Would that open me up to discussion of matters that might actually solve the "problem" like tooth decay - ear,nose,throat illness etc...???  No - I'd be embarrassed - insulted - and probably pissed off enough to slug them in the face!  


Given the above - I've learned that although the MESSAGE is important - and the DELIVERY is important - that TIME FOR DIGESTION on the part of the message-receiver is especially important.  Unless the message of truth is delivered tactfully - in some cases - and supported with evidence - there is NO CHANCE of reaching the desired recipient.  But most importantly - what I'd missed - and believe I know now - is that TIME FOR DIGESTION ON THE PART OF THE RECIPENT - and CONSTANT GENTLE PRIDE-PRESERVING REMINDERS - over the long term would most efficiently - effectively - and ultimately - lead to a meeting of the minds.


America is in crisis - big time.  This is not a secret.  This is obvious - and possibly trite at this point - but I say it to let you, my dear reader, know that I understand the delicate nature of the topics we "conspiracy theorists" (propagandistic LABLE) try to discuss with those still hypnotized by the so-called dying, withering, decrepit, moribund "mainstream corporate media."  These topics regard grave issues - issues that shake and quake the very foundations of our republic - and therefore our way of life - the American Way - the way of Liberty, Individualism, Free Speech - SELF DETERMINATION - and again - LIBERTY.


It is now or never my friends.  Each and every one of us, must, hold the public serpents attempting to usurp our self-government - our government of WE THE PEOPLE, to make sure that our government remains OF THE PEOPLE, AND BY THE PEOPLE - 


Those of us - who can - must step forward now like never before - using any and all talents to keep the message out there that WE WILL OVERCOME any and all opposition to our LIBERTY.


We must not allow FALSE-FLAG attacks to side-track our cause - we must hold our public servants accountable for crimes against humanity - like TORTURE - regardless of any and all violent or otherwise "attacks" on America or elsewhere.


It is, perhaps, a tired cliche - that "freedom is not free" - but that doesn't detract from the FACT that "Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Freedom" - 


Recently a co-worker told me that he "didn't want to know what the government did to keep us "safe"" - 


Think about that statement.  WE THE PEOPLE are the ULTIMATE SOVEREIGN IN THE United States - which means that it is OUR JOB to police the government - ensuring that their actions are ALL  consistent with OUR VALUES.


Whatever you do - wherever you are - my dear reader - I implore you to get involved - speak out if you can - if you can't - find a way to donate to those who are speaking out on your behalf.  


The NAZIs used the defense "I'm just doing my job" - the same mantra many bill-collectors will tell  you.  This tells me that if the only job available to them was working the lever on a gas chamber they would do it - since "they were only doing their job."


Ignorance is no excuse for breaking laws in America.  Ignorance of the pain and suffering and usury inflicted by one's actions is not a defense - and - since the "wheels of justice grind slowly" - I warn those seeking haven in the usury industry to run for cover.


The sh*t is about to hit the fan.  We, Americans, will either hang together - or hang seperately.  The choice is YOURS.

Gun-smuggling cartel figures possibly were paid FBI informants

Give up your guns so YOUR GOVT. CAN SELL THEM TO THESE SCUM?!

"The official said at least half a dozen cartel figures were being paid by one U.S. law enforcement agency while they were being targeted by another.
...
The ATF ran the Fast and Furious operation out of its field office in Phoenix until early this year. The idea was to monitor illegal purchases in federally licensed U.S. gun shops, but allow the illicit buyers to walk away with the weapons, giving ATF agents the opportunity to learn how the guns are smuggled across the border.

But many of their gun tracing efforts failed, and hundreds of firearms purchased under the program were used to commit crimes in Mexico."

--------------
NOTE:  So on the one hand - I'm told that they simply let the criminals walk away with the guns - and on the other hand that their tracing efforts failed?  What kind of double-speak is this?  What tracing is required when at the point of purchase the incompetent keystone cops knew that the purchaser of the firearms was a bad guy?


All this goes on - while I have to suffer waiting periods when I go to the gun shop to purchase a long gun or pistol.  What is the solution proposed by these criminal "law enforcement agencies?"  To further violate the gun rights in the border states for... YOU and ME!


Naturally - and as usual - the police departments will hide behind the "national security" and "war on drugs" canards - laws and red tape written by well-funded lobbyists and well-heeled backers and signed by on-the-take venal filth occupying expensive space in Congress, Judicial and Executive Branches of our federal government.


With all the money these folks have stolen from us - what have they delivered in terms of stopping crime?  In my opinion things have gotten worse with every passing day.  Encroachments on the rights of citizens are no longer distinguishable between those committed by our so-called "public-servant" militarized police thugs - or just run-of-the-mill ordinary garden-variety violent criminals.  In either case the honest law-abiding citizen is caught in the crossfire - and soon if both sides of this cops-and-robbers game participants have their way - soon UNARMED AMERICAN CITIZENS.  In other words - EASY PICKEN'S FOR THOSE WHO ARE ARMED.


Our "justice system" is anything but that.  When we've got law-enforcement agencies selling guns to violent drug gangs - and the result of their efforts are that their own agents are murdered with the weapons the "law-enforcement" people sold to their murderers - you really have to wonder what good they are.  I don't wonder anymore - I know the answer - the "justice system" in the U.S. is corrupt from A to Z.  


If some heads don't roll over this debacle - if somebody high up in the justice department doesn't get locked up for a good long time over this betrayal of truly dedicated true-believing true-blue law enforcement personnel murdered with guns the justice department provided to their murderers - if somebody doesn't pay BIG TIME for this...we can all rest assured that since WE ARE LIVING UNDER THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE - WE CAN NEVER EVER EVER ABDICATE OUR RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS - BECAUSE WHEN THE GOVERNMENT WON'T POLICE ITSELF - THE POLICE DEPARTMENT WON'T POLICE ITSELF - THE CO-EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT WON'T POLICE THEMSELVES - ...THAT WE THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO POLICE THEM.


THAT'S WHY THERE IS A SECOND AMENDMENT - AND THAT IS WHY IF SOMEBODY'S HEAD IN THE FEDERAL FASCISTOCRACY DOESN'T ROLL - THINGS ARE WAY WAY WAY WORSE THAN WE ARE ADMITTING TO OURSELVES.  


IF SOMEBODY'S HEAD DOESN'T ROLL ON THIS ONE - ON BEHALF OF THE MURDERED PUBLIC SERVANTS - BY TRAITOROUS INCOMPETENT SUPERIORS THEY ENTRUSTED WITH THEIR LIVES - THAT WE KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE NO GOVERNMENT.


THAT IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION INDEED.  AND NATURAL LAW DICTATES THAT FREE AND INDEPENDENT PEOPLE WILL ACT IN WHATEVER FASHION IS REQUIRED TO SECURE THEIR LIBERTY.  


I HOPE THE FEDS CAN ACTUALLY DO THEIR JOBS ON THIS ONE - I WON'T HOLD MY BREATH.  I REALLY DON'T CARE IF THEY DO OR DON'T - SINCE WE WILL TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.


GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.

Focus on a Powerful Commenter with a Question for Readers

To me the comments are the best part of this blog because they allow me to understand other viewpoints.

I would like to single one out that I think of often because it draws a clear line. It is simple to understand. No previous study needed to understand the commenter's point. The comment is clearly AmericanRevolutionesque.

First here is the previous boring and unpopular post discussing a non-issue in the United States today. ( I'm judging by the absent meaningful action taken by the U.S. Federal Government so far on torture):

A Solution to Torture? A Conversation Starter...

The comment from post above:
"Anonymous said...
Also as far as initiative goes, it's a novel idea but I don't want the majority making laws that are unfair to the minority. This is NOT a democracy this IS a republic! In the end, we have a system that allows us to override a non responsive government and it is garunteed in the second amendment. Do what the rest of us are doing. Load up, stock pile and say your prayers, give us liberty or give us death."

Question to Readers,

Can any reader name a founding father of the American Revolution that would disagree with the Commenter?
