Time for a New American Revolution

in which direction we were heading, it would be easier to find a solution that fit the problem. Will we be enslaved? Will we not be able to feed our families soon? Will this blow over? Is it accidental, is it purposeful? Can anyone for surely say the final result? I sure have no idea exactly where we are going to head. Pascifism is going to get us nowhere, I can tell you that. They won't listen, neither the government or the people. American's have been psychologically dismantled because we have had it too good for too long. We are pussies, we are apathetic We may wake people up, but that does not mean we are gonna cause them to take action. If we wake up 300 million who will not take action, it is useless. We would be better off recruiting the crypts or bloods and paying them small salaries to fight than we would be educating us lazy ass Americans. I am with you the blood needs to run, but I am not gonna start it, I will be there to help finish. We all would look pretty dumb dying one at a time. We need to unite into the millions who are ready to die before we can make a stand.

I posted this the other day. You might find this interesting:

The revolution of 1776 was actually a war for independence, as much as a revolution. So was the war for Southern independence in 1851. It is interesting that you quote Lincoln, since it was he, who used force to prevent the people in the South from escaping the tyranny of the federal government in that second civil conflict.

I think you are basing your desire to see the present political order changed on philosophical views. This will not be the motivation for the coming civil conflict, and the end result may just as likely be more enslavement as restoration of freedom. What is coming will be motivated by economic suffering. When the pain of going along with the present system of plunder and control is greater than the pain of civil conflict, nature will take her course.

What has been going on since the last civil war in 1851 has been a progressive expansion of the economic pie. Oil was discovered in 1848, and has driven the economy on an compound growth curve. Compound growth curves are unsustainable in the long run. All the while we have been in this great economic expansion, two important things have been happening. The federal government has grown greatly, and increasingly destroyed free markets by passing laws that shift wealth from the average man into the hands of the privileged few. The Federal Reserve Act is just one of such laws. The reason that government has been able to impose this slave system without violent reaction is the increase in standard of living of the majority; in spite of the system of plunder and control, a small share of the expansion of the economic pie was allowed to find its way into the pockets of the average person. They bought off us slaves with a pittance.

The second thing that has occurred during this time frame is that world population has expanded from under 1 billion to more than 6.5 billion. This population is hopelessly dependent upon the industrial age to survive, and the industrial age cannot continue without adequate energy, principally oil.

The fraudulent debt based monetary system imposed on us was an accident waiting to happen and has become more unstable with each recession. What triggered the now ongoing financial collapse was the approach of the end of the oil age; remember gasoline cost last summer. The end of the oil age is characterized by increasing cost of acquiring oil on the one hand, and depletion of existing oil fields faster than new ones are found on the other hand. Likely the economy will contract to 1/3 of what it was last summer at its peak, and this easily could happen over the next 15 years. The human suffering that will result is beyond the willingness of most people to consider.

So the end of the federal government is almost a certainty. It will just go the way of the USSR if we are lucky; if we are unlucky, those in power will not comprehend the magnitude of what is happening and will use force as Mr. Lincoln did to prevent this time what is unpreventable. This time either peacefully, or violently the federal government will come to an end.

But even as the federal government meets its demise, the political struggle will not end. People will be contending with a brutal struggle to survive as food production collapses, state and municipal services disappear, utility systems fail (imagine no electricity, water or sewer service at your house or work indefinitely), employment as we know it comes to a halt, and brutal crime becomes an every day event.

Yea, I know; too much for a Sunday evening look into the future.

Hear Hear! But it would take the support of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands at this point. The revolution should have taken place over a hundred years ago before the federal government was allowed to become so powerful.
