LewRockwell.com -- Has Our Revolutionary Moment Arrived?

Lew, you are on-target in your assessment of the current moment as having potential revolutionary consequences against the power elite in both its Washington and Wall Street manifestations.

Both the "objective" and "subjective" conditions are present and are continuing to be played out, as I predicted almost a year ago in my LRC article, "Come the Revolution..."

This morning I posted on Facebook friends' walls or sent via email to over 400 persons the Mises Institutes' magnificent The Bailout Reader.

I believe that all libertarians, constitutionalists, Ron Paul Revolutionaries (whatever label persons at this moment choose to designate themselves), etc. should focus on one simple undiluted radical message: that of the very illegitimacy of the American state, and the American people's repudiation of the criminal elites which reign over them in their name.

The point should be driven home over and over that the original American Revolution was based on the idea of government by consent, and that today this concept has been twisted and perverted beyond any meaning.

This should be done attacking the very legitimacy of the welfare-warfare state -- the inter-relationship between its American empire and the Wall Street bailout -- with the Fed being the enabler of it all.

You, Ron Paul, Tom Woods, and Justin Raimondo have been articulating this theme for the last couple of months. It is time that everyone within the interlocking networks of LRC, Antiwar.com, the Campaign for Liberty, remaining RP MeetUp groups etc. focus on this same crucial elemental point, in basic simple terms that virtually all members of the American public can understand and comprehend: The American state is bankrupt, both morally and financially. The criminal elites who reign over us must be repudiated.

Some later-day Tom Paine (or Tom Woods) needs to draft a brief manifesto statement in clear concise language hammering these points home.

It needs to be transformed via Youtube and podcast into multimedia formats. This message needs to become viral, spontaneously seen everywhere 24/7, from now until election day, as were the Ron Paul sign brigades in the early stages of the campaign.

I'll continue doing my part in this struggle.
