Escape FROM America’s Future

Make no mistake, I am firmly convinced that society and politics needs a total re-write.

I firmly believe in the age-old dictum “revolutionaries must be state builders.” I do not see reformation of the existing state structure and of American politics as being a long-term option if the goal is to restore and extend Freedom based on Liberty (Godliness, Self-Reliance, and Self-Determination) and Security (Security in our Rights, Persons, and Property from all threats).

In he 21st century, we are not left with either pacifism or armed resistance, we can resist aggressively and without using violence! It would seem that, with all that technology offers us and with how fed up many others are, a bloodless but extensive “revolution” would be possible.

The truth is, however, that few Americans are mentally engaged enough to even comprehend the radical imperative that lays before us, this includes even those who truly ARE for freedom against Big Government and its minions. Americans neither comprehend the nature of the problem nor do they comprehend the possible solution.

What we need IS in fact a bone fide revolution that remakes government and American society in the image of a free confederal UNION of sovereign citizens, sovereign states, and 21st century forms of alternative sovereignties.

We see that Americans lack the historical as well as the philosophical education needed to even see what is needed and what is possible. We also see that, frankly, most all Americans lack the stomach for such a rewrite of their society.

This does not mean that things cannot or will not change, or that Freedom won’t have its rebounds, even within the current structures of the American Civilization.

At present, American Civilization is so firmly connected to and dependent on the spiritually, morally, and creatively dead Western Civilization that it will die the same death that awaits that old civilization which it once may have escaped from. The mere fact that Americans cannot even conceive of anything greater than a resurrection of the glorious past, from which heights they have fallen, is proof of the extent of the problem.

Does America have a glorious future, more glorious than her past?

The potential is there, but without a willingness to rewrite society almost completely, dispensing with all the 20th century assumptions of the corporate welfare state, or the “warfare state” as some call it, it is impossible to see anything resembling a good future for America.

We aren’t going to see any kind of positive, pro-freedom revolution in a nation that wallows in self-indulgence, self-pity, fear, and reckless immorality. It cannot happen and, barring a virtual miracle, it won’t happen.

For those few, perhaps only a few thousand, who see a world of possibilities outside of the limited realms of conventional American thought, the question becomes not so much “how can I save America” but, rather, “how can I save my offspring FROM America’s future?”

Until Americans step outside of their assumptions, fears, prejudices, immorality, and selfishness, they just aren’t the kind of people who can pull off the necessary deeds that would free America from the death grip of Western Civilization.

Legion, THY NAME is “Progressive”

Summary- Is there a global Progressive agenda to eliminate YOUR freedom? Are there Progressive plans, global plans, that unite such disparate Progressive elements as those in America, the Middle East, Europe, South America, and China? Do Progressives have more loyalty to their global agenda or their own nations?

When Jesus Christ confronted a possessed man, on one occasion, the demons possessing the man said, “we are legion” because there were MANY of them. As we confront a global phenomenon of oppression, bloodshed, and tyranny, we begin to see that a veritable legion of bad actors, of seemingly different stripes, are possessing the body politic of nations all over the globe.

This legion has a name, a name that means “the few rule the many in progressive stages because the many are not as enlightened as the few.” The NAME of that legion is “Progresivism.”

In the Muslim world, Progressivism takes the form of Pan-Islamic Jihad, a bid to create a caliphate of the rule of a few enlightened leaders, minus private property, private rights, or even the right to life (only the lives that are important to the new “state” would be worth saving).

These pan-Islamic Progressives may indeed seem much different than, say, the atheist Progressives of China or the pseudo-“Christian” Progressives of America, but they share the vision of a multination super-state without private property, private rights, or the right to life that is run by a few enlightened rulers.

Progressive regimes, and Progressives in America, are taking a similar approach to any dissent from their party line- silence the opposition by all possible means. The Progressive war on freedom is not new, but what is new is that the opposition to Progressivism around the world is truly growing, day by day, week by week, and the Progressive elites are beginning to see the writing on the wall that could spell their doom.

Progressives are not taking the upsurge in opposition to their tax-and-borrow ways, their cronyism, their “nudging” by regulatory fiat, and their wholesale attempts to take control over information content and distribution, lying down. They are, in fact, fighting back in an attempt to stop the forward march of unhindered freedom for the People, often by intoning the terms and language of liberty.

In America, the Progressive war machine is ramping up, with money from special trusts and foundations owned by billionaire sponsors of the Progressive movement, to use Union thugs, journolist smear merchants, and corrupt courts as a means of preventing the People’s will from being carried out, creating chaos on the streets and using such a “crisis” to excuse their authoritarian “remedies”, and unleashing smear campaign on anyone who speaks out against them. The objective of the American Progressives is to institute the kind of Progressive state the Chinese Progressives have created, complete with police powers and censorship to make their political party, the Democrat Party, the sole party in power.

The Progressives don’t just like to win an election, they want to destory any voice that dares rise up against them. When Christine O’Donnel dared shale up the Progressive nest in the Delaware GOP, defeating Progressive Mike Castle, it was not enough to use smars and lies to defeat her in the general election, the Progressive war machine is STILL trying to bring her down, trying to make it so that she cannot EVER pose a similar threat again. This is how Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman are treated on the national scale, and this is why Progressives are waging war on Glenn Beck, trying to force advertisers to pull their ads!

Make no mistake, the Progressive in America do not believe in the kind of Freedom most Americans embrace. While most Americans see liberty as the opportunity to pursue godliness, self-reliance, and self-determination, the Progressive use the world liberty as a cover for plain old negative self-indulgence at society’s expense, as in the case of so-called “gay marriage” or “no-fault divorce.” While most Americans see Security in terms of protecting and preserving their rights, their persons, and their property from all threats of all kinds, Progressive peddle a “security” based on hand-outs and dependence on government while they regard human life only in relation to its value to the state.

Progressivism and freedom are not at all compatible. Either Freedomists triumph and remove the bane of Progressivism from our communities, institutions, and governments or Progressives will snuff out the last embers of Freedom based on Liberty and Security which once inspired the whole nation.

Elsewhere, it is the same story. Progressives have already made Cuba a backwater of poverty, oppression, and despair. Progressive in Venezuela have rolled back the clock to a time of petty dictators and military juntas in a South American nation that was once proud of its standards of freedom and democracy.

In the Middle East and north Africa, Progressives are essentially at war with each other, which is providing an opening for some who want freedom from all forms of Progressive tyranny, whether that is the tyranny of a Mubarak or the tyranny of the Muslim Brotherhood.

With the aid of American Progressives, from BOTH parties, the Chinese Progressives have been able to convince many in America that giving China access to our markets is good because it will promote freedom and democracy. The markets were opened and now the Chinese Progressives are buying US debt, created by American Progressives, and they may even be funding the American Progressives, helping them to win elections based on fraud and lies.

Despite years of giving the Chinese a blank check to decimate US industries, through dumping, and allowing them to decimate our currency, the Chinese are NOT more free. While all that pseudo-capitalism has spurred some in China to yearn for more freedom, even that spark of liberation from the chains of Chinese Progressivism is being snuffed out as new crackdowns are occurring, crackdowns that are leaving more innocent civilians dead than have been killed in Libya!

Progressives may in fact be uniting more than we know, planning a global Progressive regimen through the agency of such entities as the UN, the World Trade Organization, the European Union, and other such entities. Whether the flavor of the day is “global terrorism”, “global financial crisis”, or “global climate change”, the “remedy” is always more government, less freedom, and more power to Progressives everywhere.

Progressives in America are a fifth column of quisling operatives who actively seek a future in which this nation, America, is no more than a “province” of the global progressive super-state they all talk so much about!

Progressives the world over are loyal, first and foremost, to their shared vision of a world united under a system that does not include private rights, private property, or the inherent value of human life. In the Progressive utopia, collective bargaining “rights”, as regulated by the state, matter more than individual rights, private property becomes only collective property, and human life only has value if it is in the interest of the state to protect that life, in other words only if that life is “worth it” to the state.

The Progressive war on freedom is a global war, and the players include billionaire financiers, governments, the journolist media, and multinational corporations run by and for Progressives. Progressivism is a clear and present danger to freedom wherever and however it rears its ugly head.

People are waking up, all over the world, and Progressivism is on the defensive, no longer enjoying a monopoly over information content and distribution, no longer enjoying an uncritical acceptance of their lies and empty promises, and no longer able to run from their track record of misery dipped in sorrow, smothered in oppression and poverty. For this reason, the Progressive war machine has woken up and, like Qhadafi’s mad dash to destroy his enemies before the no-fly zone could be implemented, Progressives are trying to put the genie of freedomism back into the bottle before it is too late, before the People can put up a “no fly zone” of their own against Progressives and their institutions of oppression, including the journolist media, corrupt courts, academia, the unions, billionaire trusts and foundations, and multinational corporations.

The question is not “will the Progressives fail”, the real question is, “how many people will be hurt by the Progressive BEFORE they can be defeated?”

japan nuclear meltdown explosion

Japanese workers are on a suicide mission, if need be, to save their country from nuclear meltdown. Meanwhile the Japanese politeness bubble is preventing the facts from getting out.

Japan Nuclear Meltdown, Japan Meltdown, Japan Nuclear, GE, World News

Japan’s Heroic Battle Against A Nuclear Melt-Down

The crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is moving into uncharted territory as workers deliberately risk their lives, and at least their health, to battle an ongoing nuclear melt-down. One worker, identified by the Japanese news service, NHK, is a 59 year old man who was just 6 months away from retirement- in agreeing to stay and battle the nuclear melt-down he was encouraged by his wife who urged him to “do your best to save the nation.”

Despite what is emerging as a heroic effort by workers on site to battle a nuclear melt-down, every hour seems to carry more bad news. What began as a crisis of one nuclear reactor has become an international nuclear crisis featuring three explosions, two fires, and radiation spikes that can be felt over 200 miles away (albeit not to deadly proportions outside of the 12 mile evacuation zone).

While the GE workers who were on site, as part of an ongoing GE contract to maintain the GE produced reactors, fled and were withdrawn by GE, the Japanese workers have stayed and are almost certainly in jeopardy of being over-exposed to high levels of radiation.

Getting to the truth, however, has been somewhat sketchy as information flowing out of the plant’s operator, Tokyo Energy Company (TEPCO) and the government has often been vague or outright wrong in light of actual observable events. As a “for instance”, while TEPCO and the government were touting the line that there is “no appreciable health risk”, the government was sending in workers in radiation-protection suits to test evacuees and some 190 persons have experienced some form of “radiation sickness.”

Part of the problem appears to be cultural, The Japanese pride themselves in being polite, which often translates to not being too direct. One American teacher in a news interview explained this with a story about how he was scolded once for asking for a day off. The problem wasn’t that he wanted a day off, the problem was his directness- he was told he should HINT about a NEED for a day off, thus giving his boss an opportunity to show magnanimity by OFFERING him a day off. By asking directly for a day off, he was being “rude” and not letting his boss have an opportunity to OFFER him the day off without having to be directly asked.

This may explain why the Japanese had such a hard time with asking for foreign aid during the Kobe earthquake crisis. By asking directly, not giving the foreign governments a chance to see the need and offer help, the Japanese would have been “rude.” This time around the US and other governments were very pro-active in offering help, and therefore the Japanese were able to quickly accept that help.

As TEPCO and the Government release news and information, observers who are aware of the Japanese culture of politeness are trying to “read between the lines” to see what is REALLY being said, while, for their part, the Japanese seem to be getting more direct, realizing that most foreign observers will not get their indirectness. Last night the Japanese government spokesman announced the withdrawal of workers from the plant and, in a very un-Japanese manner, was extremely explicit. He said that the workers were all withdrawn, that not even a minimal amount of work could be done, and that efforts to combat the nuclear meltdown were at a stand-still.

This directness is not customary and, while in America we expect such directness, in Japan, this directness is itself an alarming sign of how serious things are. Because these things were said to the Japanese audience, in Japanese, it may not be so easy to dismiss the directness as a concession to foreign observers, although it may in fact be pressure from foreign governments that is compelling the Japanese to speak so directly.

If over-statement is a characteristic of the middle eastern cultures, from time immemorial, under-statement is a characteristic of many far-eastern cultures. The West’s penchant for exactitude is seen as being “unsophisticated” by both cultures, leading to much confusion as to meaning and intent.

In their own sophisticated way, the Japanese are telling a tale of a massive localized crisis that could potentially have greater health implications for a larger region if it is not contained by what may amount to a suicide mission on the part of workers in the plant affected. A middle easterner might call this “Armageddon” while a far easterner might call this “somewhat of a serious problem, potentially”, but the exact truth, in this case, may be somewhere in the middle.

However you see it, most all agree that the heroic workers are battling a monster and their willingness to lay down their lives if need be, where others fled, is truly dramatic! Nobody faults the GE workers for leaving, even if they fault GE itself for the technology and their failure to foresee such a crisis, and this only makes the sacrifice the Japanese workers are willing to make all the more praise-worthy.

To risk your life in general is worthy of praise, but to risk your life against such danger, and almost certainty of serious harm, in a cause that is not likely to succeed, is beyond what anyone could ask.

America Without The Truth

The REAL Problem and the Path Forward 

The new head of the Republican Party joined a virtual mass choir of voices trying to make the case that a GOP win in 2012 is the only thing that will save America from the liberal (progressive) onslaught against our precious freedoms. That there is a Progressive war on true freedom (freedom founded on godliness, self-reliance, and self-determination) is clear, but is that REALLY the problem and is the GOP getting majorities in government and picking the next President the solution to the problem? 

If the problem is political, then the solution would be political. 

THAT IS NOT THE CASE! 

The Bible says that “righteousness exalts a nation.” 

If you don’t believe the Bible, you won’t believe that. If you DO believe the Bible, then you have to believe that. So, the real issue is, do you believe in what the Bible says or do you believe in what those who deny the Bible say? 

Let’s be clear: if you say you believe the Bible, then you have to know what it says and at least do your level best to follow what it says. If you say “I believe the Bible” and then ignore its words, then you are like someone who says “I love you” but treats the other person badly, and not with love. 

Around 63% of Americans believe the Bible is at least inspired by God and is true, although over half of those believe it is literally the Word of God. This really hasn’t changed over the past several decades, despite years of Bible-hating propaganda.

If the Bible is right, then it isn’t “freedom” to “do your own thing” that “exalts a nation.” It is “righteousness”. 

This word means “to do right”, or to do what is RIGHT. Like it says in Romans 13 “owe no man anything” but “render to each their due”. That is a sort of “righteousness”, and we see in Romans 13 that the state is empowered to punish the evildoers: evildoers who violate right standards in terms of the way we treat each other and Creation. 

If the state protects evildoers, who do WRONG, all in the name of FREEDOM (see 1 Peter 2 where it says we should not use liberty as a cloak for evil), while making life difficult for people who are doing right, then that state is in danger of losing not only its “freedom” but its very life! 

YOU CANNOT BREAK GOD’S LAWS and expect things will go well! 

America as a nation has long forgotten, and rejected, this truth. America’s leaders don’t even think that such ideas have any legitimate place in the realm of public policy or politics. 

Herein is the REAL problem. America’s political institutions have separated themselves from the influence of God’s Word, they have rejected God’s standards for human conduct and the way we use God’s Creation. 

That’s a fact. You can use any amount of philosophizing, arguing over what the founders said or didn’t say, or whatever you wish, but if God is real and the Bible is right, then the assumption that government, public policy, and politics should not conform to a Biblical standard of righteousness within its ordained sphere of authority is not merely wrong, but it is dangerously wrong! 

The problem is simple. America has removed the influence of God and His Word from its government, public policy, and politics in a way that can only earn this ungodly state God’s Divine Retribution. This won’t come from mere men and their schemes, God does not need any help, it will come from God’s own hand. 

The problem points to the solution.

If YOU believe the Bible is true, then you believe that righteousness exalts a nation, therefore when YOU decide who and what to support in any election or vote, then YOU must consult the Word of God as well as your common sense and then your own interests, IN THAT ORDER. 

Whoever wins the election in 2012, if the American voters don’t embrace the Word of God as the best standard for determining how people should treat each other, how we should treat God’s Creation, and how our government should serve its role to punish the evildoer and protect those who do good, then NOTHING can save the state from whatever God decides to do because of its rejection of HIS AUTHORITY.

It is TIME For A “Freedom Uprising” In America!- Bill Collier, Freedomist

The battle for our country’s future is being fought in the streets, but the forces for freedom are being out-spent and out-fought by the Progressives who have the unions, big money from men like George Soros, and journolist media led by the likes of Michael Moore. Bloggers and new media providers can inspire and educate people to form their own local “Freedom Corps” made up of people who attend street events (protests, counter protests, demonstrations, rallies) and people who donate to help support those who go to these events.

—————————–

NOTE- If you own a blog or website and are interested in this idea, drop me a line at [email protected] and let me know. If I get more than a dozen responses, I will set up a phone conference, share my ideas, hear YOUR ideas, and between us, we can all decide what to do next. If I don’t get more than a dozen responses, I’ll take that as a sign that “our side” is just NOT yet ready to work together.

—————————–

WE ARE BEING BEATEN ON THE STREETS- In Wisconsin, the GOP stands to lose their recent gains because the Progressives are on the streets and the airwaves with their lies and smears against the governor and the GOP in general. In New York, Progressives and their Pan-Islamic allies are banging the drums for multiculturalism gone amok over legitimate inquiries by Representative Steve King over the emergence of Pan-Islam in America.

Of course the journolist media uses images of large crowds of these paid protestors to paint a picture as if those who are not with the protestors are in the majority.

The Progressives have a central command structure, lots of money, control over the journolist media, and armies of mindless drones who will do and say whatever their paymasters want them to do and say.

NO COMPLAINING WILL HELP US- We can talk about how we think they have some unfair advantages, how they use taxpayer dollars or how they use discrimination to gain control over institutions but none of that is going to help us.

In the end, we need to find a way to marshal superior numbers and more effectively reach out to the public with our message, a message which must be truthful, simple, direct, and repeated often.

What can we do as information providers, writers, bloggers, and new media professionals?

We have the power of instigating ideas into becoming a reality.

This means that if we all create a picture of a possible future, where our side outflanks the opposition on the streets and in the LOCAL media, that activists will pick up those ideas and use them.

This is the way Tea Parties got started.

A few individuals saw Rick Santelli, decided he had the right idea, and started to make noise about it.

I was on some of those conference calls and one of the things we talked about was the need for a nationwide effort that was not controlled from the center. We beat the drum, using our blogs or networks (I promoted things via Freedomist and through Team Sarah), and where possible we lent our resources to help (we own localteaparties.com and taxdayteaparty.org which we used to simply provide information.)

We need to go beyond the Tea Parties to create locally controlled groups of people who will hit the streets when the opposition is hitting the streets, and we need to encourage them to cooperate and coordinate when major nationwide efforts are needed.

On April 4th the Progressives plan something like a “day of rage” for Government Unions. We need bigger numbers to show up and make a visible showing for the People.

These Progressive robots who go out and rally for socialism, under some other disguise, have the advantage of being able to get paid to protest.

Our side needs to encourage employers to let people participate without losing pay, we need to encourage people who can’t attend to donate a little money to help pay for buses, food, supplies to help those who can attend these events.

WE MUST ASSUME PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR INSTIGATING NEW IDEAS- In short, we need to provide ideas and a blueprint, write about them, link to each other, and even coordinate together to hold phone conferences where we can talk about ideas for organizing and invite would-be organizers to attend. Let them set up their own groups and run with the idea, we can simply fade into the background, having done our job.

ONE MAIN IDEA, ONE AGREED UPON NAME- We need a single name for this, and I don’t think “Tea Parties” is the name. Tea Parties will likely sponsor it, and organize it, but this needs its own name.

I propose the name “Freedom Corps” as the name for these local groups of 100-200 participants (people who GO to events) and at least another 200-300 “supporters”, people who pledge to pitch in $10-$50 per event to help offset any costs for buses, lodging, food, and etc. to support the participants.

Of course, larger scale organizing will naturally occur as local groups exchange ideas, coordinate, and decide on a shared structure to plan and organize large scale events. This will continue upwards until a national network of sorts is in place, rising from below (not imposed from above).

OUR ROLE IS TO INSTIGATE AND BACK OFF- Our role, as writers and new media providers, is not so much to organize these groups as to bang the drums on their need and provide ideas for what they should do and how local people might organize themselves to form such groups. If people surf the web and see the freedom corps idea referred to over and over again, they will want to participate.

WE CAN ALL SHARE THE BURDEN- Between us, we can all pitch in on the information side. Each of us might take a part of the country and host an information page where people in those parts can input meeting information or contact information. A shared domain could be used to host a map which you click on to find local information. When people click on an area, it takes them to a page hosted by one of us, which has a way for people to see current information and input new information.

We could also create a twitter group and a hashtag to share information, a facebook page and group, and yahoo groups for mailing lists by region so people can talk to people in their area. This could also be shared work with each of us taking charge of groups or being “on duty” to man the main twitter account to ensure that information is flowing 24-7 during an event (this means that all participants have access to that account.)

NO “ORGANIZATION” NEEDED!- None of this requires an organization, none of us “own” it, and any donations would be made to LOCAL groups who could then share their resources if they join with other local groups to form regional or state networks.

Reagan once said that if you want to get things done, don’t take credit for things. Most of the people who beat the drum and initially pushed the idea for Tea Parties are unknown. It was never intended for it to be otherwise.

WE HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN- If we can encourage people and inspire them, and if we can motivate them and even educate them, and then disappear, that is all fine and well. Our job is not to organize and lead, per se, but, rather, to beat the drum, facilitate things, and then let the participants take over and do their thing.

If people see all of the writers, news suites, and blogs that are pro-Freedom all writing and talking about the SAME BASIC IDEA, then they will feel more confident that it may work and want to participate in it.

DON’T FRUSTRATE THE PEOPLE!- On the other hand, if people see all these blogs, web pages, and news sites all touting THEIR OWN idea, that they want to own, all with different approaches, many of which are contradictory, then they will become bogged down, confused, and they will lose confidence.

ONE VOICE ON A LIMITED SCALE- We need to start finding ways, at least on a limited scale, to speak with ONE VOICE, or the opposition will beat us EVERY TIME. If we cannot do amongst ourselves what we want our elected leaders to do, then what right do we have to demand of them that which we refuse to do ourselves?

ARE WE READY TO WORK TOGETHER? If you own a blog or website and are interested in this idea, drop me a line at [email protected] and let me know. If I get more than a dozen responses, I will set up a phone conference, share my ideas, hear YOUR ideas, and between us, we can all decide what to do next. If I don’t get more than a dozen responses, I’ll take that as a sign that “our side” is just NOT yet ready to work together.

The Rise of the People and The Decline and Fall of the Political Class

The following is an appeal to ALL freedom-minded Americans who believe in freedom based on voluntary godliness, individual and local self-reliance, and individual and local self-determination. In a nation where only 28% of the People believe their government has the consent of the governed, it is clear that the days of a free ride for the political class are running out.

This appeal provides ideas an insights, we do not care if people use our terms or join our online groups or mailing list, we invite this but this is not about us. People need to realize that the Progressive War On Freedom is now in the street, it is being waged through the journolist media and unelected bureaucrats, and it is even being waged against parents in the classroom.

Never before in our nation’s history, not since the 1700’s, has the class of people who have the most reach, access, and control over wealth (whether private or public) been so far out of alignment with the consensus and interests of The People as it is now.

THIS IS the reason why over 64% of American voters reject the very notion that “public employees”, who think they are the “new nobility”, should not even be organized as a “union.’

The ruling class include those who have the greatest reach in terms of getting their message out, those who, in the main, have the greatest access to decision-makers or decision-making powers, and the greatest control over wealth, including private wealth and the public wealth controlled by bureaucrats and officials, the “new nobility.”

GOVERNMENT AND ROBBER BARON ‘TRUSTS’ CONTROL TOO MUCH WEALTH- While this ruling class may go after particular groups, even competing members and cabals within their class, what is not noticed by many is the real wealth locked up in government controlled lands and natural resources and the massive untapped reserves of wealth bottled up in countless “trusts” and “foundations” which were largely the results of robber baron activities in the late 19th century which have been inherited by families and by others who have wormed their way into the club!

The ruling classes, however they are constituted or defined, are on the path of decline and fall while the People, in their power to RULE over the nation, are rising to a state of dominance, which they will take from the ruling class, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

The Progressive War On Freedom attempts to popularize the ruling elite’s true agenda by promoting dependence and dumbing the People down through their journolist media and progressive plantation education!

This centralized approach is running its course and winding itself down to collapse. These are historical processes, they are the patterns and pathways that history normally follows, and when the overwhelming interests and consensus of most of the People in most cases is contrary to the interests and consensus of the ruling class then a showdown is looming. In this inevitable showdown the ruling classes have neither the manpower nor the courage to win.

Things may indeed get uglier before they get better and the ruling classes may seem to become more powerful before they start to lose their footing, but, in the end, the inevitable conclusion is always the same- the People Rule and the ruling classes lose!

There is no question that the ruling classes are doomed, they will lose their status, including their reach, their access, and their control over wealth, but at what cost to the nation, the People, and themselves?

Will members of the ruling classes simply recognize the writing on the wall and join the People as part of them or will members of the ruling classes stand in the path to real progress, try and keep their power, and face such wrath as might endanger more than just their status, but their very freedom?

So far, the Progressives, who defend and are bought and paid for by the Ruling Classes, are answering the historical march towards freedom by waging war on freedom.

The ruling classes and the petty nobility of public employees in America are not interested in what the People think or want. They believe that the People can be fooled or convinced to go along with whatever the ruling classes and their petty nobility think is best. Indeed they believe that they are serving the People even if the People “don’t understand” because they are not educated enough or familiar enough with the “nuances” of governing a nation or reporting the news.

Progressive ruling elite and petty nobolity are waging a war on your freedom!

While you and I cannot directly control or influence how this will all play out, if we are aware of the dangers and the risks we must also see where the opportunities and the new possibilities lie.

We must be prepared to think in very local terms and ask the question, “what can just 20 or so families who are knit together in the cause of freedom do together to more effectively preserve their rights, their persons, and their property from violators of all sorts even in an environment of growing government interventions or upheaval?”

The short answer is A WHOLE LOT! Just 20 or so families so knit together as our Founding Fathers were in a mutual pledge to uphold their rights, persons, and property against all sorts of violators can effectively change the entire social- political, and economic dynamic in any local of 10,000 or so households! A “Popular Freehold”, if you will, of 20 or so people can radically increase the level and quality of local freedom!

If such “Popular Freeholds” act intentionally, courageously, and wisely in a concerted and cohesive manner and on a consistent basis they can undo years of the indoctrination and dumbing down by ruling class institutions in as short a time as 3-6 months, and they can create a local consensus in favor of the principles of Freedomism which is reflected in the voters and their local officials in a substantial manner!

Join THE FREEDOMIST COMMUNITY https://freedomist.com/wp-login.php?action=register and start your own local “Popular Freehold”!

It is ONLY through a deliberate, street level campaign in YOUR neighborhood that we can see a transfer of power and wealth from the ruling classes to the People in a peaceful and orderly manner that does not lead to upheavals and that can stop he advance of the ruling class in its tracks, almost IMMEDIATELY!

We call the organizers of such street level activities “Freedom Fire Brigades” and the groups who come together to defend freedom on the streets “Freedom Mobs.” The OTHER side has its union mobs, we need our own Freedom Mobs!

This does not require that you call your congressman or write letters to the editors, the focus is much more narrow, and yet we will all need to support a nationwide campaign that will help people establish groups like this (freedom Mobs, Freedom Fire Brigades, and even Popular Freeholds) in EVERY SINGLE US Congressional District.

You can be sure that The Freedomist will be working to promote, encourage, and advertise ANY AND ALL such local groups and national organizations that take up this idea, in their own unique way!

SO WHAT IS THE BASIC IDEA?

Imagine this: you personally know 20 or so other local people who are willing to back you up if or when your rights, your person, or your property are threatened!

You COULD wake up knowing that at least 20 other families within your immediate locale are not only committed to standing up as one for YOUR rights, your person, and your property should you face any violations of your freedom. 

Whatever your present circumstances, you must know the truth and believe it- you are not stuck with those circumstances, they can be changed!

Join THE FREEDOMIST COMMUNITY https://freedomist.com/wp-login.php?action=register and start your own Freedom Fire Brigade and your own Freedom Mob!

If you buy into the lie that circumstances cannot be changed, what have you but hopelessness and despair?

If you agree with the ruling classes that you are powerless, than why not just surrender all your rights, the safety and sanctity of your life, and all your property right now?

If you don’t think people who disagree with what freedom is TODAY can be convinced of the truth tomorrow, then don’t EVER try to pursuade anyone about anything!

Perhaps you think that the ruling classes and the petty nobility of public employees are going after “those people” and not you, perhaps you do not realize how truly wrong this is, because you do not know that the ruling classes will not ever stop until they OWN YOU and everyone else!

They will not stop at anything, even harrassing people in their homes in a blatant act of political intimidation that is usually seen as an outright threat to that person’s family, property, or very life.

Greed knows no bounds, it doesn’t stop until it meets effective resistance, and even then it must ultimately be so disempowered as to become nothing more than a fantasy that has no chance of being achieved!

Taking away the petty nobility’s “collective bargaining” power to overthrow elections and impose their anti-American, godless, Progressive ideology on children, is a first step towards ending the emnslavement of millions by the Progressive Slave Machine!

This is where the Popular Freehold of 20 or so families in ONE locale comes into play: it exploits a critical and glaring weakness which the ruling class cannot ever correct.

Join THE FREEDOMIST COMMUNITY https://freedomist.com/wp-login.php?action=register and get daily news and updates on the ongoing firght for freedom AGAINST the Progressive War On Freedom!

So long as the battle for freedom is waged on a statewide or national scale, the ruling classes have all the right resources and they control where, how, and when the battles will be fought. They are very strong and almost impregnable at the state and national level. They are, in short, like the “death star”, on a planetary scale that thing was unstoppable!

Join THE FREEDOMIST COMMUNITY https://freedomist.com/wp-login.php?action=register

Like the death star, the ruling class relies on massive scale structures, like the national “news media”, the petty officials and national organizations such as Unions or other huge organizations which nobody can really control from below, and the powers of the government, the education establishment, and the entertainment industry. They don’t “conspire”, they act naturally in their own greedy self-interest and they often find that working together against the People, even with competing members of their classes, is easier than fighting one another.

What happens,. However, when, instead of a giant fleet meant to oppose the ruling classes in their death star, we rely on a mysterious FORCE, the march of history, and we send in a few brave fighters to hit the enemy in their most vulnerable areas?

That area is the LOCALITY. At the local level, the ruling classes cannot use any more power and influence than what 20 cohesive families can use. Each locale is like Thermopylae, a narrow chokepoint where even the largest army can only send in so many troops.

The weapon is the truth, but not some whining about ‘the evil ruling class’- the TRUTH we need people to see is that THE PEOPLE RULE, and to teach them, we need only our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. TEACH your neighbors about these two documents, and the INTENT of the framers, and then show them that THEY OWN THE GOVERNMENT in their community, then teach them how to USE THEIR POWER to ensure that ALL their local officials abide by the principles of Freedomism!

If you convince just ONE or TWO other families in your neighborhood to learn the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution and to take a PLEDGE or Mutual Support, you will quickly find this number grow to at least 20 in your immediate locale. Some locales may be tougher than others, but NO locale is beyond reach or hopeless: this includes rural farmlands and gang infested inner cities neighborhoods, and it includes all ethnic and socio-economic groups of every sort. In EVERY community of around 30,000 people (about 10,000 families) we can find AT LEAST 100 families who would be willing to take a stand for freedom in their locale, and for one another!

Take an inner city community. A Popular Freehold of 20 or so families in a neighborhood might establish a “Freedom Corps” of young men trained in civil defense and community policing to stand up to gangs and help local families defend themselves and their property from these thugs, once and for all. With a national network behind them, others from similar communities who have succeeded in this effort can come to help a particularly beleaguered group.

Join THE FREEDOMIST COMMUNITY https://freedomist.com/wp-login.php?action=register

Gangs and lying politicians are the same- they deceive and intimidate but, in reality, they are like cockroaches who scurry away when the LIGHT is turned on. Popular Freeholds can effectively turn that light on and they can call on help and assistance from outside their locale if they are connected to a network of such groups.

The focus, however, is and must remain the LOCAL GROUP and its efforts to TAKE BACK their own community for THEIR OWN FREEDOM. If we preserve our freedom in OUR community against an y and all violations of our rights, our persons, or our property then we will pass this inheritance of a Popular Freehold, a holding of freedom where the People truly rule their own lives and communities, on to our children and it will endure for generations!

What does it mean to be a Freedomist? It means you want to take the most noble and eternally valid truths and principles which we see embodied in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, and the HERITAGE of freedom founded on Christian virtue, self-reliance, and local self-government, and not only LIVE IT but positively assert it and defend “against all enemies”, whether they be foreign or domestic, private or public!

Freedomist Communities will allow you to connect, to learn, and to become informed and it will allow you to experience freedom as an individual and with people in a small group living near you, so that instead of being frustrated about what national and state level institutions are doing or not doing, you can be liberated from their reach as your locale become more and more “Freedomist” in its outlook and in the way your local officials govern and conduct their business.

This is the story of the starfish on the beach, where we see MANY communities and locale and families that are not walking in Freedom as our Founders intended, as indeed our Creator intended, and we become sad and hopeless thinking “how can I EVER help ALL those starfish get back into the waters of Freedom?”

You are not responsible for the WHOLE beach, you are responsible for YOUR starfish, the one at YOUR feet, which is YOUR family, YOUR neighborhood, YOUR church, and etc. You can show them what the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution is all about, and you can ask them which vision they prefer: the one where we are FREE or the one where ruling classes take more and more of our wealth and our freedom while promising us results we all know they cannot possibly produce.

Freedom Mobs Against Union Mobs Called For By The Freedomist

The Freedomist is putting out a call to freedom-minded Americans to oppose the Union mobs that are attempting to silence the voice of the People.

Union mobs are being unleashed, with the coordination and assistance of the Obama regime, in order to block efforts to reign in their power and the excessive costs they cause by their mob-like intimidation tactics. Unions are also responsible for coarsening the political discourse, ramming through anti-Christian social policies, and creating a “politically correct” atmosphere in favor of secular socialism. Freedom through godliness, self-reliance, and self-determination is not consistent with the secular socialist Union agenda and the People’s Democracy is not compatible with the Union’s mobocracy.

Bluegrass Pundit: Obama’s Organizing for America Instigating

When you pull back the curtain on teacher protests in Wisconsin, you find Barack Obama’s Organizing for America has been busy.

(Politico)The Democratic National Committee’s Organizing for America arm — the remnant of the 2008 Obama campaign — is playing an active role in organizing protests against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s attempt to strip most public employees of collective bargaining rights.

OfA, as the campaign group is known, has been criticized at times for staying out of local issues like same-sex marraige, but it’s riding to the aide of the public sector unions who hoping to persuade some Republican legislators to oppose Walker’s plan. And while Obama may have his difference with teachers unions, OfA’s engagement with the fight — and Obama’s own clear stance against Walker — mean that he’s remaining loyal to key Democratic Party allies at what is, for them, a very dangerous moment.

As an example, employees nationwide paid 13%~27% (see page 5) of the cost of their employer sponsored health care. Wisconsin teachers currently pay only 4%~6%.

Dan Grandone, Organizing for America State/Local – Monday, February 14, 2011

MADISON, WI – We always knew Scott Walker would pursue a right-wing, anti-worker agenda. We didn’t know it would be this extreme.At a time when most folks are still struggling to get back on their feet, Gov. Walker has asked the state legislature to strip public employees of their collective bargaining rights. Under his plan, park rangers, teachers, and prison guards would no longer be able to fight back if the new Republican majority tries to slash their health benefits or pensions.But that’s not even the most shocking part: The governor has also put the state National Guard on alert in case of “labor unrest.”We can’t — and won’t — let Scott Walker’s heavy-handed tactics scare us. This Tuesday and Wednesday, February 15th and 16th, volunteers will be attending rallies at the state capitol, put together by our organized labor allies. The vote could come as early as Wednesday, and we need to speak out now to show lawmakers in Madison that we’re not only paying attention; we’re fired up and ready to act.

Can you make it on Tuesday or Wednesday?


State Employee Unions Attack Capitol

The Wisconsin state government is under siege by radical progressive fundamentalists seeking public largesse for state employees at taxpayer expense. Using the phraseology of democracy, freedom, liberty, and revolution., the state employee’s unions are working to prevent the democratically elected government from enacting fiscal reforms designed to get the state’s excessive state employee expenses under some semblance of control.

While the Progressive journolist media spins this organized assault on democracy as a “popular uprising” many in Wisconsin are seeing in it an exposure of the true nature of the teachers and their union: that they are radical Progressives whose vision for America is based on the concepts of central planning elites redistributing wealth from producers to people who mindlessly vote for the Party and the over-paid and under-accountable state employees who rely on their votes to keep their “programs” in operation.

A counter-demonstration, which could potentially lead to violence as the Progressive extremists are already threatening violence and have already carried out acts of sabatoge and vandalism on state property, is being planned by numerous groups. Many, however, are considering just driving to the State capital themselves to confront what they see as a manufactured, astro-turf effort to impose the will of the Unions OVER and against the expressed will of the People.

The regime of Progressive domination through discrimination, intimidation, and deception is being challenged like never before and now the Progressives are appealing to rule of a mob, incited and hired by a few elites, to shout down and assault any opponents. Activists for Freedom who recognize in teacher’s unions an institution that is totally given over to the radical Progressive agenda for an America under a one-party secular welfare state (the People’s will be damned), are organizing and mobilizing and may be showing up on site in the next few hours or sometime tomorrow.

The scope of the Progressive insurgency and its sudden appearance may have surprised some, but it is also evidence in and of itself of its premeditation by Progressive elite leaders who are using these contrived mobs as weapons against the People’s will in Wisconsin. What is potentially being set up, with the Obama regime sticking its Progressive nose into the State’s affairs is a mini-civil war between freedom minded citizens and Progressive elite and their plantation denizens, namely public employees who care more for their own life of ease than the very fiscal survival of their state.

From inside the state capital this alert:

THE POLICE HAVE ADVISED THAT WE LOCK OUR DOORS.
GROUPS OF YOUNG KIDS ARE MARCHING THROUGH THE HALLS YELLING AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS….DRUMS ARE BANGING, ETC.
RESTROOMS ARE BLOCKADED.  VANDALISM YESTERDAY.
ELEVATORS ARE BLOCKADED.
ANGRY CROWDS ARE POUNDING ON OUR GLASS WINDOWS.
PLEASE, PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR STATE.

There is no more news from this source, however such reports are coming in such numbers as to suggest a systematic assault is under way aimed at nothing less than a Progressive hostile takeover of the State Government.

Citizens of Wisconsin are called upon to go to the capital to DEFEND THE PEOPLE’S DEMOCRACY from the Progressive revolution that is under way, with Obama’s support!

Obama has called the bill to limit the Union’s ability to hold taxpayers at gunpoint and force concessions “an assault on unions”, to which some respond, “assaulting Unions is a good thing, they are not much more than a cancer on the American economy and a detriment to true democracy!”

Godwin’s Law states that any political argument, carried on long enough, will eventually provoke a Nazi reference.  My own personal corollary to Godwin’s Law is that the first side to invoke it invariably loses, mainly because Nazis and Adolf Hitler are simply not analogous to normal politics in American democracy, unless one is discussing actual neo-Nazis.  It exposes a clear lack of historical literacy about the Nazis and the history between the two World Wars of the last century.  It’s the kind of argument favored by the relatively uneducated.

That’s what makes the protests in Wisconsin over Governor Scott Walker’s proposal to curtail the power of public-sector unions so deliciously ironic.  Hot Air reader Tim R in Madison took his camera with him when he attended the large protests staged by the teachers against the budget bill that would require contributions for pensions and health insurance, as well as put new curbs on collective bargaining.   Tim discovered signs like this at the protest yesterday at 6 pm just after the speakers concluded:

from http://www.samchaltain.com/the-wisconsin-teachers-protest-two-wrongs-dont-make-a-right

As school systems across the state of Wisconsin cancel another day of classes – the result of massive protests in Madison following Governor Scott Walker’s effort to strip educators of the bulk of their collective bargaining rights — I can’t help but think of the old adage that two wrongs don’t make a right.

The first wrong is how teacher unions have come to operate. Clearly, unions need to reinvent themselves if they want to remain viable in the 21st century, and old-school policies like “last in, first out” (LIFO) and the fact that in many places it’s almost impossible to fire a bad teacher don’t serve anyone’s best interests. We can do better.

from http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/wisconsin-teachers-take-students-class-protest_550230.html

Teachers and students in Wisconsin are protesting Governor Scott Walker’s budget bill. But it’s not a mark of democracy: instead, teachers have been taking kids out of school to march on the Capitol in Madison. It’s being called a “sickout” — and it’s illegal.

from http://www.redstate.com/gawken/2011/02/17/the-mathematics-of-the-wisconsin-teachers-protestor-why-is-the-union-going-batst/

The Wisconsin teachers union is going all out,  or maybe all in is the better term, to try and stop needed reforms. Are they totally oblivious to what’s going on in the country, what happened last November?  I can’t believe they are that dense, but in fact, there is a really good reason for their response. .The union’s survival is threatened. Here’s the numbers.

According to the Weekly Standard, the average Wisconsin teacher’s salary ( not including benefits) is $50,000. The cost of the proposed contributions to the retirement and medical plans will be 5%..let’s say $2,500. And because these contributions will be on a BEFORE-TAX basis, let’s assume the out-of pocket  (after-tax) cost will then be $2,000/year.

Union dues are $1,100. And under the proposal, teachers will no longer be required to join the union. So..to the teacher now facing a $2,000/year reduction in take home pay..where’s the easiest, most obvious place to cut..Why, of course..union dues.

Enemies of Israel aided by U.S Consulate in Israel

Bill Collier

The rapid and surprising fall of Tunisia, the sudden reversal of the Sudanese government’s hold over the south (allowing for the free vote of southern Sudanese for independence), the riots in Egypt and now Yemen, the simmering opposition in Iran, the re-emerging insurgency in Iraq, the unrest in Pakistan, the ongoing insurgency in Afghanistan, and the emerging opposition in Lebanon to a Hezbollah take-over of the country are all signs pointing to widespread discontent in the Middle East and throughout the Arab and Muslim world or Islamic Civilization.

Freedom will out.

This means that the aspiration for freedom that is such a part of the human condition will rise to the surface and lead people at times to flee or to rebel.

On the other hand, the forces of total-control which envision a strong government as the head and master of all things, with total political regulation and control over all things in life, are always seeking to counter and suppress this drive for freedom.

What we are witnessing in the Islamic Civilization is a clash between these two forces; the natural thirst for human freedom, which for women and non-Muslims especially is in such contradiction to the way most non-Western Muslim clerics interpret the Holy Writ of their faith, and the forces of total-control which see government as the vehicle for an imposed  religious ideology as a vision for society and “solution” to their problems.

The thirst for Freedom is imperfect and often in seeking freedom people choose snake oil cures sold by crafty demagogues or prophets and wind up without gaining freedom despite strenuous efforts and sacrifices.

While Islamic Civilization is indeed in a phase of imperialistic expansion, seeking to conquer new territories and bring more people under the dominion of its religious ideology, it is also essentially at war with itself. On one hand, differing versions of the thirst for freedom and on the other the Sunni and Shia visions of the total-government implementation of their “solutions” to the problems they face in the form of a religious ideology.

It is difficult for us, on the outside, to classify these events on an individual basis as being this or that version of total-government or this or that version of freedom-seeking.

In Egypt, for instance, one sees total-government seekers like the Muslim Brotherhood seeming to join with freedom-seeking students and Coptic Christians in one single uprising against the Mubarrak dictatorship.

Is this one event a total-government seeking event by radicals against a comparatively religiously moderate regime or a freedom-seeking event against total-government in general? For some protestors it is an effort to move towards a more radical form of total-government and for others it is a move towards more freedom and less government in general.

It is in times like these that governments under threat look for scapegoats.

The Iranian government, while its leaders genuinely hate Israel and the West as part of their radical Shia Islamic faith, is using external foes to distract its populace from the internal situation which so many find distasteful and which they increasingly oppose. The attempted Iranian take-over of Lebanon, which some see as near completion, is but another gambit in an overall campaign to find external scapegoats and make their own people drop their opposition to the regime.

As this winter of discontent potentially become a spring uprising governments under pressure will look to a scapegoat, and that scapegoat for the Islamic civilization is now the Jew and the Jewish state. Indeed, if Israel did not exist as the Pan-Islamic bogeyman to keep the populace from thinking too much about the failure of their own governments, it would have to be invented.

The fact is that most of the disputes the nations and peoples of the Islamic civilization have with the non-Islamic world are contrived inventions by a ruling elite meant to make oppressed women and minorities and poor, exploited workers and peasants forget the real source of their misery- their own governments and the religious ideologies those governments follow.

To say that Sharia law is to the 21st century what the Communist Manifesto was to the 20th century (and remains in some circles as well as China) is not entirely off-base. Sharia law, whether Sunni or Shia, is a total-government approach to a pan-Islamic religious ideology that enslaves and oppresses human beings, robbing them first of their rights, persons, and property and then of their dignity.

Today, the Islamic Civilization, almost across the board, is facing its own potential demise as the impetus for freedom clashes with the total-government religious ideologies that dominate most Islamic nations today. This does not mean that this civilization will collapse, but it does mean that the governments of Islamic nations will increasingly oppress their own people while going out to find external scapegoats, making them, at best, unpleasant neighbors.

Relativism, Multiculturalism, and Drugs Led To Gifford Shooting

The triple crown of liberalism is relativism as opposd to absolute truth, multiculturalism as opposed to tradition and virtue, and self-indulgence (in the form of drug use) as opposed to self-discipline. Is this what led to the shooting in Tucson, Arizona?

Thanks to the tenets of relativism, the Arizona man who tried to murder a member of Congress, and who murdered 6 others, including a 9 year old girl, was able to imbibe in the worse possible ideologies without any real social constraints on such thinking or context.

Was the shooter’s avowed love of Karl Marx or of Mein Kampf, both manuals for totalitarianism, questioned or were his studies of these writings put within the context of writings of our Founders or the Bible? In our present culture, imposed as it is from above, he would not have received such instruction that might have dissuaded him from embracing the hatefulness of Marx and Hitler.

When the murderous young man was rejecting a culture of life and love and justice, would this present imposed culture have provided any context or social pressure to dissuade him from his chosen path? No, the multiculturalists don’t believe in any kind of “judgment” of “other cultures”, just like they refuse to “judge” the pan-Islamic culture of Jihadism and intolerance.

Finally, the murderer was imbibing in mind-altering drugs, the kind that many want to see made illegal, the kind that many like to say are harmless. Marijuana, possibly cut with other chemical substances, gave the shooter the drive, the daring, and the twisted beliefs that allowed him to grab a weapon and murder other people.

Today, as America stands in shock and anger, hard questions need to be asked about America’s illicit affair with relativism, multiculturalism, and drugs. The left is to blame for these kinds of things, the left is ultimately the first cause of this kind of shooting.

Perhaps this is the reason why the left, knowing how their idolatrous love for such things is the root cause here, tried to hang the label “Tea Party” around this young murderer’s neck.

The blood libel meets a wall of truth, shows the true anti-freedomist and regressive agenda of Sheriff Dubnik, Freedom’s own “Benedict Arnold”, a Quisling pretender whose own oath of office was violated when he tried to spread a blood libel as a Rechstag fire justification for censoring his freedomist oponents.

“He did not watch TV. He disliked the news. He didn’t listen to political radio. He didn’t take sides. He wasn’t on the left. He wasn’t on the right.”
