Down in the dumps, depressed about events? Well read this!

Eternal vigilance is indeed the price for Freedom. Rhino, you should read up on your history. We don't get to freedom without doing anything about it. The only way for evil to win is for the good people to do nothing about it. We don't get to our freedom destiny without doing it all the way.

Tom DeWeese is one of the most prominent freedom fighters in America and has been for many, many years. Hardly fresh out of college...

This article is from his speech at the Freedom 21 conference in Dallas, on July 26. He is the person behind the Freedom 21 conference and organization. He is one of the people that have done the most to expose and stop UN's "Agenda 21". "Agenda 21" is the hidden agenda behind a lot of what goes on behind the scenes and opposes Freedom in this nation and abroad. Look it up and study it if you have not done so yet.

Tom has some great videos on Agenda 21 as well that you might want to see.

He has also sent out millions of infomation packets to the people along the proposed NAFTA "super highway" to inform them of the plans for this land grab and how it has been implemented in secret.

Freedom Rules!

The numbers keep growing now at 80,702!

Remember the Biblical story of a man who is asked by his king how he should be rewarded for I know not what anymore.

The man suggested that he be given a penny on the first day, then two pennies the second day and so forth for just one month or so. By the end of that time he would have all the wealth of the kingdom!

Each of us should appreciate that the future is in our hands, that if each of us does our job to grow the movement by spreading the word and passing the torch one by one our numbers will double and redouble.

It will get easier as time goes by because our growth will become visible and will become news.

Just as so many claim that Ron Paul has no chance. I recall Stephanopolis telling Ron Paul himself that "that is not going to happen" when he had asked Ron Paul what possible outcome there might be to his campaign and Ron Paul responded that "I could win" said matter of factily.

Do the math! 100,000 would become 200,000 if each of those persuaded just one more to join us. 200K would become 400K, 400K 800K, 800K 1.6M, 1.6M becomes 3.2M.

It is important for us to keep this in mind in the coming years, yes years. IF we all did the passing of the torch it could theoretically happen in one month but in fact in reality it will instead take years. Not everyone will do the job. Not everyone will take advantage of opportunities to pass the torch. Not everyone you reach will pick up the torch and continue to pass it on. So it will take years.

The day will come when the 1.1 Million votes Ron Paul received will become two million, then four million, then 8 million. Once the movement is that strong its viability will be more accepted. It will be easier to attract followers. But we want leaders not followers.

Our movement needs those who understand the ideas underlying our commitment to the cause of individual freedom not blind followers who do what they are told, vote as they are ordered to vote, who do not read the bills they vote for or against, who do not use their own judgment, who do not take the trouble and expense to obtain and read the books Ron Paul and his supporters recommend. Have you looked through the bibliography at the end of The Revolution: A Manifesto?

One of the books he recommends is Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. Ron Paul mentions he has serious disagreements with her but that it is still worth reading.
What are those disagreements? Why is it still worthwhile to read Atlas Shrugged? Have you read it yet?

Once you do you might want to find and read her journal. Essays from her journal were published in collections entitled The Virtue of Selfishness and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. In each you will find an essay entitled Man's Rights.

Find our for yourself what Ayn Rand believed. She did write book reviews of books written by the economist Ludwig von Mises of the same Austrian school of economics recommended by Ron Paul. Mises advocated the free market in such books as Planning for Freedom and Planned Chaos. His major work is Human Action. He demonstrated the fallacies of socialism in Socialism.
His Theory of Money and Credit should be read by the likes of Bernanke.

Take heart for the intellectual ammunition for our struggle exists in abundance. It is a battle of ideas rather than swords or bullets. The young people coming up in a steady stream are facing a life different than we did when wer were their age. I recall gas at under 30 cents a gallon, candy bars were 5 cents now $1.59, my rent for the two bedroom apartment in Flatbush, Brooklyn where I grew up was $42 a month, a quart of milk cost a dime! (1939)

The Federal Budget history is revealing. The first under Washington was 5 or 15 million dollars. By 1940 it was about 40 Billion, by 1960 it was 92 Billion, since then it has taken less and less time to add an additional 100 billion, Now it is 3,200 billion!

Believe me, Obama has further growth in mind.

Ideas move the world and "no armies can stop an idea whose time has come" to paraphrase Victor Hugo.

"I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine" Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged p731
