Terror and Tyranny: the TNT Approach for 2010

Tyranny 2010 wouldn’t be complete without what Gerald Celente cited as an upcoming trend:  Terror 2010.  T&T — perfect together.

The holiday season has greeted us with “Terr’ists” who prefer their underwear to their shoes (and they need well-dressed escorts when they forget their passport).  It would all seem ridiculous if it hadn’t already caused a dramatic increase in airport security, as people are now being told to show up 4 hours in advance for international flights.   This is a rather large problem.  For those in the business of creating problems, though, this was a well-chosen stratagem for eliciting the all-important reaction; is there ever a more stressful time or event than Christmas travel?  So, as dot connectors, we need to look at what solutions are being offered for this problem.  Enter stage left (and right): Tyranny.

1.  The new 3D body scanning device that makes us all more naked than naked was met with faux consternation when it was first revealed.  It was, naturally, played down.  But we can be pretty sure that this new technology will be implemented, pronto, with its full capability, and with no choice to opt-out: mission accomplished.

2.  Prisoner training.  After the hassle of actually getting to, and getting on the plane, it will literally be prison-like conditions once aboard.  No electronic devices or hand-held items (books), and no bathroom breaks for the last hour of the flight.  As DHS Secretary Napolitano stated on the TSA website:

Passengers flying from international locations to U.S. destinations may notice additional security measures in place. These measures are designed to be unpredictable, so passengers should not expect to see the same thing everywhere. Due to the busy holiday travel season, both domestic and international travelers should allot extra time for check-in.

3.  The Patriot Act:  As of December 16, the renewal of the Patriot Act in its present form was still being disputed, delayed, and debated.  Pretty sure it will be sailing through, with even more draconian measures attached:  mission accomplished.

4.  Expanding the war (s).  Yemen?  Who knew?  Well now the world knows that it is near Pakistan, Afghanistan . . . heck, it’s in the Middle East — TERRORISTS — BOMBS AWAY!  No Congress, no discussion needed:  mission accomplished.

5.  The African connection.  They have been working on Africom legitimacy for a while. Underwear bombers from Nigeria with connections to Yemen (and born in England?):  mission accomplished.

6.  (More) Military presence on American soil.  Let it not be said that there isn’t freedom somewhere in America — you just have to be part of NORTHCOM or INTERPOL.  Total freedom to investigate, abuse, arrest, and never to be questioned about it: mission accomplished.

7.  Keeping Americans at home, while discouraging inbound tourists.  In a November 14th article titled, “International Tourism Decline on the Upswing, if America Doesn’t Sabotage the Recovery,” we can read a call to action in this interesting choice of words — if you are standing at the top of the pyramid.  The last thing that people who are trying to consolidate power, and siphon as much money from bottom to top, would want is a recovery in the real economy.   Additionally, the fear of travel reinforces U.S. isolationism.   The ultimate effect?  Dependence on the government for both security and financial aid: mission accomplished.

8.  Overall security must be increased.  Although Janet Napolitano almost unforgivably forgot her script, she is back on track the day after and in lockstep with security apparatchiks everywhere — current security measures are never enough, more must be done:  mission accomplished.

So, if all it takes is Terror to create Tyranny, then the words of the Underpants Bomber seem to ring true for 2010:  There is more to come.

Is the American Dream Nothing More Than Servitude?

ARTICLE SOURCE

We were all taught the myth of the American Dream. Indeed, this “dream” is now being sold all over the world, that if you study hard, get a good job and work hard you’ll be able to own things and eventually find economic freedom in your retirement years. This story has been reinforced at nearly every dinner table in America. Once we buy into this fantasy we become shackled into servitude and our very existence becomes defined by it. We can’t logically envision another way to spend our time.

We then pursue this dream with vigor. Our youth is devoured preparing for the workforce; we take student loans that ensure our commitment to the system, we finance a car if we are lucky enough to find a job, we sign contracts for mortgages, utility companies, and even our churches to submit our pound of “human” flesh. We all do this willingly because we believe this to be the best way to spend our time on this planet. And for some it’s their only known way to survive.

The most absurd aspect to committing 90% of our waking life working for this dream is that it’s all just to function, to stay alive and have experiences. The illusion of wealth and private property provides enough allure to get most of us to submit. Sure, nice things are terrific and great to use, but that’s exactly what we’re doing – using them. Let’s be clear, we never really own property without future obligation of taxes, insurance, or permit/licensing fees.

Since nearly everything is bought and sold on credit by governments, industry, and households, the Money Printers control it all. Yup, life is grand owning or controlling 90% of the world’s resources with just a measly 10% left to the peasants. Conveniently, they are the only ones flush with cash (loaned by us, and repaid by us), just waiting for prices of “real” things to get low enough to sweep up the rest of the crumbs.

The recent economic collapse has exposed many previously “distracted” citizens to the marriage of state and banks for the benefit of them – not us. Matt Taibbi, of Rolling Stone, has been brilliantly detailing the merger between state and big banks since the manipulated financial collapse. In short, the money printers are the puppet masters of all “resources,” whose slight flick of a finger effects the entire economy, and consequently, the government and the slave puppets at the bottom of the string.

Predatory lending has been used to successfully enslave Third World countries with debt as described in great detail by John Perkins in his books Confessions of an Economic Hitman and Secret History of the American Empire. The banks discovered that they can colonize and imprison the world through the leverage of debt (although some countries are now resisting debt servitude). Once proven successful, the banks then turned to enslaving all industries and workers luring them behind bars through deceptive lending techniques.

In most circles it’s safe to say that our government is no longer “By The People” or “For The People” anymore. In fact, I wouldn’t even describe them as for the corporations as many gripers like to do. Instead, I contend that they merged a long time ago. ALL of our government agencies are wholly employed and run by former titans of industries that they now “regulate”. Politics is just big business; the 2008 Presidential race was nearly a $2 billion dollar industry alone, and forget about the Congressional campaigns. Our system, whatever you want to call it, IS big business, BY big business, and FOR big business.

It is rape and pillage for profits and power, where corporations are given the rights of individuals, but none of the punishment for moral wrong-doing. Understandably their policemen have long been on-the-take. Plain and simple, it seems like our cartel capitalism, fully-integrated with our government, is infinitely more oppressive than what our Founding Fathers faced with a greedy King on the other side of the pond. And yet, we continue to not only support, but fund it.

How do we break the chains of servitude? Well, we start with either getting out of debt, or by rejecting current debt. I’m not suggesting that readers should just walk away or declare bankruptcy if they have the means to combat it. However if the illusory debt noose has tightened to the point of suffocation, your only choice is to remove it by any means necessary and declare your personal human freedom.

In this rigged game designed to sacrifice the Pawns. However, I can’t help but feeling like the Knight of my own life with desires to be the King of it. And that’s the good news. We all have the ability to be Kings or Queens of our individual paths. And since the current system thoroughly depends on our acquiescence, we can change it to treat resources, all creatures, and our environment with the respect they deserve.

Tyranny 2010

I think most people have continued their denial as long as humanly possible — myself included.  With executive order 12425, signed on December 17, 2009, Barack Obama has declared that America is now officially a tyranny.  It certainly wasn’t going to be announced as such on the evening news, but the granting of immunity to Interpol agents, thus superseding the U.S. Constitution, is the utmost violation of what Americans have cherished since the first days of the American Revolution and the country’s inception. Obama has now declared that paramilitary security forces representing any country on earth are free to roam American soil with absolute authority, no oversight, and no recourse for anyone who is violated.  I can’t think of a more treasonous declaration than this one.   All that the U.S. stood for, in terms of individual freedom, human rights, and privacy, has been obliterated.  This type of executive order is dictatorial — decided by Obama and the stroke of his pen — affecting every American man, woman, and child in the United States.

Goodbye America; it was a nice experiment while it lasted.  Only a Second American Revolution can close the gates of tyranny that the Commander in Chief has decided to open.

The Kings of the Carnival Creation

In this moment, it is indeed a type of carnival creation in which we live. Sadly, we have empowered the kings that direct the show to jesters by the names of Goldman Sachs, Al Gore, and the U.N. And the audience? It is us. So, either we sit back and enjoy the show, or we start throwing rotten tomatoes. No matter: it’s old news. FAR older than the lyrics to this song, penned by Silenoz. And, yet, in the mind of a poet it is timeless.

KINGS OF THE CARNIVAL CREATION

Incarnated marvels simplified
Effects from such a disconsolate kind
Impotence of the once so perfect living
Erase and rewind

Stand rigid for the next battle
Peace means reloading your guns
The love for life is all hatred in disguise
A carnival creation with masks undone

In search for the guidelines to the gateways of sin
through mires of misanthropy with wrath in mind
Sophistication as cruelty and perfection as virulent truth
Confidently dawned, to pick the best of enemies
An abyss womb stretched wide open, exposed to retaliate

With the stigma feasting upon your flesh I wish you well
Thorns from the fountains of fate licking lepered skin
Worshipped by anyone’s mass on our planet hell
What on earth possessed you

Consuming illusions made from hysteria and swallowed tongues
Devoured by doubt, conducting arts of misconception
Testimonial sufficiency declaring numbness of all perceptions

Glance into the blackness hidden beneath your surface
And enjoy the suffering, sanity drained in disrespect
With such bedevilled faith in good, subsequently trusting evil
Next step for mankind will be the last seasons in sin

Left are the kings of the carnival creation
Carrying out the echoes of the fallen

Sense the withering eternity as it fades away
The ultimate graceless voyage of all times
Only death will be guarding your angels, silently
Cripples joining arms in clamor
Institutionalized for the rebirth

the herd will be hunted

(Re) Capture the Flag

As a nature enthusiast, I saw Al Gore’s movie, Inconvenient Truth, on opening week with much excitement. I left the theater thoroughly convinced that global warming was indeed taking place and caused by CO2 concentrations.

What with all the graphics of flooding coast lines, hurricane damage and future temperatures that were literally off the charts, it was pretty darn compelling if not downright frightening.  However, much has happened in the climate discussion since the release of the movie. First, anyone denying global warming was said to be in the pocket of the oil companies or just ill-informed. The very word “denier” propagated by the media echoed tones of holocaust deniers, and dissent in the debate was thoroughly marginalized. Next, global warming suddenly became relabeled “Climate Change” as if faxed down from high places to anyone with a microphone when warming statistics were called into question by legitimate sources.

There has been very little debate about the science of climate change, and even less public debate about the proposed solutions with the Cap and Trade system. With such dramatic legislation proposed, one would think that the answers to the following questions would be crystal clear. Is global warming really happening and backed by indisputable facts? Are man-made greenhouse gasses (GHG) the main cause of climate change? Does Cap and Trade legislation address key environmental issues like water pollution, chemical spraying, deforestation and topsoil erosion? Who benefits from the proposed solutions, and at whose expense? How does global cap and trade legislation affect individual liberties protected under the U.S. Constitution?

Make no mistake, market-based cap and trade schemes have proven to reduce air pollution and incentivize clean development. The cap and trade placed on sulfur dioxide in the 90s caused coal burning power plants to innovate sulfur brushes that reduced SO2 emissions by 50% in the United States. And the current Kyoto Protocol does indeed protect forests and spurs clean energy development in developing nations. So, there are certainly plenty of positive arguments for some form of cap and trade.

However, it now appears that the real Environmental Movement has been hijacked to primarily benefit the money interests of the ruling elite. Eyebrows have been raised since “hacked” emails exposed that the science data has been manipulated to fit the Global Warming theory, and now that 30,000 climate scientists are suing Al Gore and others just to have a real science debate. Alarm bells should go off when we learn that, as Vice President, Gore designed the proposed Cap and Trade system with Enron’s criminal CEO Ken “Kenny Boy” Lay years before the general public had even heard of Global Warming. A full blown revolt should take place knowing that the scandalous international Banksters on Wall Street have shaped Cap and Trade to line their pockets. Finally, some of the proposed provisions appear to tax personal choices when the system was supposed to focus on major corporate polluters, which seems to undermine Constitutional rights and perhaps U.S. sovereignty altogether.

Although there are compelling arguments that climate change is happening, recent evidence shows it may be mainly caused by the sun’s activity. However, it does seem plausible that GHG, with their insulating affect, do contribute to trapping heat and warming the earth. But is it catastrophically dangerous to our well being? Well, it seems that those predictions are only as good as the theory they’re derived from and now that theory is in question. Despite the lack of concrete answers, any environmental legislation should address GHG, because the large scale activities that account for the majority of the GHG are typically environmentally destructive in other ways as well.

As environmentalists, we should not just blindly support this legislation without investigating and debating all of the provisions. It is the easy way out to just let the big boys provide the solutions, especially since they were the ones who brought us globalization, unprovoked oil wars for military industrial profits, runaway deficits, predator lending, the ongoing financial crisis, and most of the environmental problems we face today. Time and time again, those in authority have not only broken our trust, but continue to break what they set out to fix. We should all recognize that authority is not truth, but that the truth is authority.

Ultimately, some form of a market-based cap and trade system may be the only way to reduce pollution in a capitalistic society, but before we jump to support this so-called environmental legislation we should continue to ask questions about it’s provisions.

Amerika The Brutal

Lyric time again. This is from a metal band called Six Feet Under. I just rediscovered how great the imagery is in their video for this song. I’ll include the lyrics here — they’re pretty good — but it’s the video which says it all quite well for American culture. Very reminiscent of Pink Floyd’s movie The Wall. But NOT the music — just turn off the volume and watch the video.

I’d rather die than to live in this fucked world
Mr. President I’m not here to do your dirty work
Alone, I think I’m fighting a losing battle
Worth dying . . . not for oil

NO WAR

Amerika the brutal

Listen, it’s a fucking joke and they make you believe it on the TV
That’s how they deceive you
I watch and I listen and I question their reasons
You know what? I don’t fuckin’ believe ‘em

NO WAR

Amerika the brutal

When I want to know the future I look into the past
I think of my best friend and his stories of Vietnam
And now I got a cousin fighting in Iraq, and I want her coming back
I’m not afraid to speak my own mind
I don’t use the first amendment to hide behind
I’m guaranteed that freedom, I’m born with that right
And for that I’m ready to fight
I’d rather die than to live in this fucked world
Fake president, I’m not here to do your dirty work
Alone, I think I’m fighting this losing battle . . . worth dying?

Not for oil!

NO WAR

A Resistance Movement For a Peaceful Revolution

Submitted by Resist For Liberty

The speed of the awakening has equally matched the speed of wealth consolidation by the global elite. It is becoming more obvious by the day that vital industries such as banking, energy, water, food, medicine, military, and media are now provably controlled by cartels. It is now painfully evident that our government works for these cartels, that our armies provide the muscle for their efforts, and the public provides fuel for their engine.

The system relies on our willing servitude, and we will never defeat them with force (weapons) and anger. We must take a measured approach of removing our willingness to cooperate through peaceful resistance tactics. Now is the time to galvanize our knowledge and frustration to form alliances to defeat the tyranny and transform the world to our agenda.

Much of the Truth Movement has been focused on activism to awaken the general public. Although we have seen a huge awakening, the aware class is still the clear minority, so spreading awareness should always be our primary goal. However, it’s no longer okay for us to simply be against the New World Order without offering a pragmatic plan to defeat them. In addition, we must offer more ideas than “give me liberty” if we expect to be taken seriously.

The notion that we can defeat the all powerful NWO by ranting and raving with protest signs, or simply preparing for doomsday scenarios is not realistic. Certainly, having a cushion of supplies in the case of true collapse is recommended, and peaceful protests are beneficial, but we must get far more organized in our resistance. Indeed we need to form our very own One World Order — a resistance movement that is organized and provides the tools, tactics, and philosophy to our soldiers.

Admittedly, it is a daunting task, as the criminal machine seems to be an unbeatable Goliath. However, we, the people, have the power of numbers. In fact, it is encouraging that there is a noticeable alliance forming between the far left and the far right with LIBERTY providing the galvanizing truth. We have truth on our side and that is extremely powerful. We should not be afraid to join groups and form movements with the stated goals to reject the NWO agenda in pursuit of a better world.

People in the movement are hungry for direction, leadership, and organization to provide the tools and tactics to effect change. Clearly this starts with education and knowledge which is being delivered by multiple sources with Infowars leading the charge. New movements such as The Zeitgeist Movement are providing blueprints for what a better future may look like, but no one is saying how we get there.

Our goal is to gather ideas and provide direction to get from point A to point B. This starts with breaking down the criminal institutions that run the planet and enslave humanity. This can only be done through organized peaceful resistance. This means sacrificing some of the comforts they provide for us in order to defeat them. We have to resist purchasing their products and notify them why have stopped supporting them. We must alert elected officials of our awareness and demand clear action to restore liberty. We propose the following outline to start a resistance campaign.

1. Awareness

• Educate yourself and others
• Know the enemy, know the system, and know your rights

2. Preparedness

• Acquire tools for surviving the transition (food, energy, tradable goods, security)
• Acquire tools for resisting (camera, computer, truth documents)

3. Resistance Plan

Establish legal council

• Provide contact information
• Post pending cases with updates

Refuse to support any NWO institutions

• Reduce energy use, buy local food and services, invest in tools and tangible assets

Carry your camera everywhere

• Film ALL misuse of authority and post it all over the Web

Announce your resistance

• o Write to politicians and corporations describing your disapproval
• o Boycott products that are misleading, dangerous, or exploitative

Form your own resistance squads

• Collaborate with local communities to support the resistance
• Form call lists to organize response teams
• Use web-based tools such as Meetup and Facebook

4. Provide Solutions

Propose alternative ideas for operating all facets of society

• Local barter systems to reduce the need for Federal banks and currency
• Local food and energy systems
• Coordinated health services
• Alternative transportation systems
• Policy initiatives that restore liberty

Above all we need a central repository for coordinated action.   We have established a site called RESIST FOR LIBERTY.  We believe that this can serve as a hub for the many fine blogs and sites already available.  Please support us in our endeavor and visit us now.  This is a work in progress; we welcome all ideas for how to make this a professional and focused online community that will engender real world results.

Monsanto and The Evil That Men Do

This post is simply a plea to watch an important 10-part documentary that speaks volumes about the multinational corporation, Monsanto. I thought I had heard it all, but after a friend sent this to me, I now see the importance of being vigilant in protecting our good intentions from being appropriated by ruthless opportunists who seek to grow their empire on the back of legitimate public interest in saving our planet and ensuring a sustainable lifestyle.

Monsanto established itself in 1901 by introducing the artificial sweetener, Saccharin. It continued to give the world a plethora of now-banned chemicals such as DDT and Agent Orange. Its current flagship product is Roundup, which accounts for nearly half of the company’s current revenue. Monsanto has consistently shown complete disregard for human life and prosperity in order “not to lose one single dollar” as their internal documents reveal.

Monsanto now advertises that they are, “an agricultural company . . . to help farmers around the world produce more, while conserving more . . . grow yield sustainably so they can be successful, produce healthier foods, better animal feeds and more fiber, while also reducing agriculture’s impact on our environment.” The truth couldn’t be more opposite. They currently have a near stranglehold on seed and food production worldwide. Their tactics and methods for solidifying their dominance in the marketplace are deplorable. See for yourself:

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO.

Don’t Pay Your Credit Cards? Part 2

I said in a previous post that it was wise to live up to the obligation to pay your debt . . . if the bank will cooperate and give you a reasonable payment plan.  There is a new wrinkle to the story though.  A recent report by Profundo consultancy has linked leading banks to $20 billion in cluster bomb production lending.  And they knew it.  The top five loan providers were Bank of America, Citigroup, JP Morgan, Barclays and Goldman Sachs.  They provided financing to Textron, Alliant Techsystems, and defense contractor Lockheed Martin, all based in the U.S.  Providing financing to arms makers sort of sounds like, uh, war profiteering?  Upon questioning, all declined to comment.

Cluster bombs are one of the most hideous creations invented yet by weapons makers.  I’m not going to post the disturbing results here, but anyone with intestinal fortitude can Google “clusterbomb victims” and see what happens.  Cluster bombs open in mid-air and literally rain death, without much discernment about where the fallout lands.  They have been linked to thousands of civilian casualties.  The world recognized the level of horror and outlawed cluster bombs in May, 2008.  Problem is, cluster bombs will only be made formally illegal when 30 countries have ratified the agreement.  Twenty three countries have signed on.  A couple of the holdouts?  Wait for it, wait for it:  The United States and Britain, where the top five loan providers make their home.

Can it be any more obvious with whom we are dealing?  So, although I previously mentioned to try and make a deal with your bank to alleviate the debt you (rightfully?) owe; it is clear that this is a deal with the devil.  Only you can decide for yourself whether you are OK with having your exorbitant interest rate ultimately being used to lend that money to arms dealers who kill civilians.

I know my choice.

The full article on which my comments are based came from Reuters and can be found HERE

Note:  At the very least, please call your bank if it is one of the five listed above, and ask them to send you a signed denunciation of cluster bomb and weapons financing.  Tell them you do not approve of this use of your money.

Resistance is NOT Futile — The Rise of “Resistance Journalism”

The enemies of freedom have standard weapons at their disposal that they have used throughout history.  These principally include propaganda, whatever high technology of the time period (including science and medicine), legislative bodies cooperating with their agenda, and enforcers willing to enslave their own people.  Many tyrannies of the past came in full force without much subtlety.  What we see today, however, is a carefully measured, softer approach that is aided by advanced knowledge in social engineering and mass manipulation.  But, lately we are beginning to see the brutal elements being brought to the fore in order to set the stage for a physical crushing of any perceived resistance.  The tactic of physical intimidation works even better in our modern era, as very few people alive in America today have first-hand experience with physical violence, and are not trained for such encounters.  It is obvious that the firepower of The New World Order is impossible to match as they have now employed technological advances to create a stunning array of surveillance equipment and weaponry.  It does not make sense that The Second American Revolution should take place on a traditional battlefield.

The battlefield of today has been correctly labeled by Alex Jones as the “Infowar.”  Knowing that information is knowledge, and knowledge is power, the wielder of the pen over the mightiness of the sword has actually never stood a better chance of resistance to tyranny than we see today.  We the resistance have very powerful tools at our disposal, but we need to employ them in a massive, coordinated effort with a mission to work within the system and clog it with the tools the system itself employs.  Now that people have awakened, and the tyranny is more obvious by the day, now is the time for us to break through our passive natures and become active working to stop this growing oppression.  We have had our diversions for long enough:  we have watched enough soap operas and sitcoms; watched enough sports; read enough books; and have attended enough lectures.  There is no more time for hoping that all of this will just go away.  It will not; it only will intensify as we sit around and watch it happen.  The only people now who can deny what is taking place are the willfully ignorant, or the people that actually enjoy the oppression.  It is harsh to say, but these two groups can no longer be our concern.

Nearly every American has a camera.  The government now has us under constant surveillance by satellite, cameras in nearly all public places, and they even have suggested that cameras should be installed in homes “to protect the children.”  Fine, if we are going to be on camera 24/7, then so should they.  Everyone should be carrying their camera at all times — not to document our neighbors as TV has taught us to do, but to document authority.  When you are in front of a federal building, corporate headquarters, police department, or any place where you are now likely to be confronted by private or public security thugs; get it on camera (or preferably video).  Then, use it as evidence to file a law suit immediately for the violation of your civil rights.  Be sure to know your constitutional rights, quote them on camera, and ask the official why they are violating your rights under the Constitution.

Recently, a series of “checkpoint confrontation” videos have been released, started by Terry Bressi from CheckpointUSA.  Border control checkpoints are in fact constitutional.  The only problem is that most of them are up to 100 miles inland!  They can call this border control, but it is really an illegal checkpoint, Gestapo style, within the U.S. and must be resisted.  In these videos you will see him adopt a tone that is anything but acquiescent.  He knows his rights, states them firmly, refuses to give his name (as protected by the 5th amendment), and continues to ask, “Am I being detained?”  These agents have no authority to detain someone without probable cause.  Driving in your car and stumbling across a random checkpoint is NOT probable cause.  Know your rights, get it on film, and be strong. And do not allow them to enter your vehicle; make them do it forcibly and violate your 4th amendment rights.

I’m suggesting that this type of journalism be termed “resistance journalism.”  Groups like We are Change are engaged in “ambush journalism” which is a nice thorn in the side to the specific targets of this type of disruptive questioning during public appearances, but the group has a name, and their tactics are isolated.  What I’m suggesting, is a loosely organized, grassroots group of people that is essentially “on call” to respond when someone encounters blatant tyranny.  For instance, imagine not one car with a video camera documenting abuse at a checkpoint, but 100 cars arriving at the same time armed with cameras — non-violent and completely legal.  This would clog the system as they are forced to respond with more personnel.  Imagine one hundred pieces of evidence, and 100 simultaneous law suits to follow.  This group, in fact, should have a civil rights attorney on call to respond to any questioning by authorities.  This will be a real show of resistance that will spread as people see real action and courage.  Since the group will have no formal name, it will be difficult for government to infiltrate and disrupt the movement.

The other weapon we have is the computer, or at least the pen.  Instead of screaming at one another, and preaching to the choir, we must be writing letters to all levels of the system telling them not that we are upset, but that we are resisting and will absolutely not cooperate with their illegal legislation.  In the case of products we don’t like, write and tell them you are not buying it, and tell them exactly why.  The new vaccine?  Tell law makers and anyone involved in production and distribution that you will not take that vaccine under ANY circumstances — even if it becomes mandatory.  We have to tell them that none of their contingency plans will work.  Now we have our airports becoming medical facilities — testing for disease, power to quarantine, power to inject people.  Write to your airlines and tell them you are no longer traveling due to these policies.  They don’t often listen to arguments based on morals, ethics, or human rights, but they WILL answer to money.  Hit them where it hurts.  Write to the American government; tell them you are no longer traveling due to their illegal restriction of your rights.  Tell them you are not afraid of terrorists, you are afraid of the loss of freedom and the destruction of the Constitution.  And above all, when they spew their propaganda to your children, like in the recent episode of Sid the Science Kid, tell the show creators and PBS Teachers just how inappropriate it is that vaccines should be portrayed in a good light to children who are not able to separate fact from fiction, or to research the mountain of evidence that shows the dangers of this H1N1 vaccine.  If you don’t care about your own freedom, at least stand up for the freedom of your children and future generations who are going to be forced to live in a world where they are managed like animals.

Now is the time for action.  Our greatest weapon is non-cooperation in all of its forms.  It is time to finally take Nancy Reagan’s recommendation:  JUST SAY NO.
