- There is no excuse for a once-free people to permit the
conversion of their government to one of tyranny and despotism. The greatest
and most powerful weapon in the arsenal of a criminal state determined
to enslave its people is ignorance. A close second to that gentle yet
powerful weapon is the myth of government authority. And last, is the
myth of government goodness and decency, which the people assume exists
innately within the state as it does within themselves. This latter myth
and belief makes it impossible for citizens to believe that their own government
would plan and execute egregious and horrific crimes of mass murder and
mayhem against them.
-
- This relatively simple yet powerful arsenal of soft weaponry
so naturally and easily assembled and at the state's disposal allows government
the ability to steal the wealth and property of its citizens. Most citizens
are incapable of visualizing the horrors of government, especially horrors
attributable to a large and militarily superior state. Such a state is
highly centralized and designed and managed to generate massive profits
for its industrial armorers who benefit from fascism's endless wars and
invasions.
-
- But it is precisely this simple, soft weaponry that generates
a most dangerous double-edged sword that defeats resistance to such government
tyranny. This simplicity exudes a socially beneficial authoritarianism
and fascism that camouflages the progressive enslavement of the people.
It also promotes amongst the populace the dangerously flawed perception
that government can eventually be changed for the better by the voters
themselves.
-
- The state's media propaganda machine, "newspapers
of record," televised and cable network "news" and Hollywood
TV and movie "entertainment" promote a false base of beneficent
mythology bolstering the state's policy and legislative validation rituals.
The mass media thereby reinforce the state's legitimacy, its authority,
and its demand for citizen respect and compliance. The state derives strength
and authority via the individual decency and morality of its citizens who
are supposedly being "protected and served."
-
- The state renders itself virtually invulnerable to attack
because of the mirage of benevolence it creates through its mass media
supporting the myth and false perception that reform is relatively easy.
But isn't this justification of the state's legitimacy a dichotomy? If
government reform is so easy, then why does government maintain its triad
of defensive weaponry? The ability to change and reform existent bad government
by only the means permitted by the criminal state is a false "perception;"
it is a misconception! It explains the media focus on the coming worse-than-useless
2008 "presidential elections." Elections do not address the
government fraud of election theft, nor do they address the abdication
by Congress of their responsibility in reining in a lunatic dictator.
-
- Government's bag of tricks coupled with the misconception
that both access to it, as well as reform of it, are within the power and
grasp of the people, ensures government's continuing and unlimited power
precluding any and all control by the citizens and voters enslaved by such
a criminal state. Government cannot be reformed! Bad government can only
be abolished and removed! This is the precise argument offered in America's
greatest document, the Declaration of Independence. And yes, the most
critical foundation of the formula of government's despotic power is the
ignorance of its citizenry.
-
- An ignorant populace is one that can be intimidated,
threatened, and herded as sheep! They can be swindled, lied to, stolen
from, and prevented from becoming angry. If they don't know they're being
enslaved and stolen from, they won't do anything about it! And if they
are unfamiliar with their basic freedoms and rights as citizens, they are
surely doomed to lose those rights. People cannot long for what they've
lost if they never knew what they had in the first place.
-
- But doesn't someone have to be in charge? That is why
people in general acquiesce to leadership and authority. To make sure
that authority is obeyed, citizen decency is capitalized upon through a
government-favoring rules and acts of law. If in the final analysis, it
is we the people that have the final say, what could be the problem? We
vote! We elect representatives to fight for our interests, and get laws
passed by Congress that are most beneficial to us all. This summarizes
the formula and provides the legitimacy for illegitimate government power.
-
- It is the intent here to prove the fallacy of all the
aspects of American government power at all levels. These components and
interrelationships of society and government have been pondered all throughout
the history of Mankind, culminating with the Continental and Constitutional
Congresses that created this great republic. We are no longer great or
a republic. We must first admit this, understand how we got here, and
then fix it for ourselves, our posterity, and then for everyone else in
the world. We were created under God to provide a safe haven for all people,
as so stated and chiseled in stone at the base of the Statue of Liberty.
-
- The Declaration of Independence makes it clear that people
create government in order to secure their freedoms, and not the other
way around. This is the most blatant ignorance that the American people
continually display. And the only reason government has authority over
us is because we the people have allowed our government this unauthorized
and illegitimate authority! We consent to be governed. And as the Declaration
has set forth, and as the Preamble to the Constitution expounds upon, we
are to establish and maintain a government of justice, not a government
of laws or a government of "fairness" based upon selective, collective
emotions of the moment.
-
- Voting provides absolutely no benefit in terms of reforming
government. The rich political factions, banking conglomerates, and military-industrial
corporate entities that manipulate politicians through their wealth and
their partnership with the media do not even remotely represent either
the will or the best interests of the American people. We have no access
to government, and no way of reforming it in the current political system.
-
- Recognizing the freedom-destroying democracy we have
regressed into is step one on the road back. Step two is recognizing the
agents of ignorance: the media, the NEA and Hollywood. Step three is rigorously
questioning all government authority! Are its proposed laws constitutional
and therefore just, or are they just emotional and destructive of our constitutional
freedoms and God-given rights? The more government abuses our freedoms
via its intimidation of authority citing law, the more we should challenge
it. To do otherwise, is to allow the scientist's artificial and ungodly
creation to dictate terms to its creator, which has always been the basis
for a really good horror story!
