Battlefield America: The War On The American People
Submitted by John Whitehead via The Rutherford Institute,
“A government which will turn its tanks upon its people, for any reason, is a government with a taste of blood and a thirst for power and must either be smartly rebuked, or blindly obeyed in deadly fear.”—John Salter
We have entered into a particularly dismal chapter in the American narrative, one that shifts us from a swashbuckling tale of adventure into a bone-chilling horror story.
As I document in my new book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, “we the people” have now come full circle, from being held captive by the British police state to being held captive by the American police state. In between, we have charted a course from revolutionaries fighting for our independence and a free people establishing a new nation to pioneers and explorers, braving the wilderness and expanding into new territories.
Where we went wrong, however, was in allowing ourselves to become enthralled with and then held hostage by a military empire in bondage to a corporate state (the very definition of fascism). No longer would America hold the moral high ground as a champion of freedom and human rights. Instead, in the pursuit of profit, our overlords succumbed to greed, took pleasure in inflicting pain, exported torture, and imported the machinery of war, transforming the American landscape into a battlefield, complete with military personnel, tactics and weaponry.
To our dismay, we now find ourselves scrambling for a foothold as our once rock-solid constitutional foundation crumbles beneath us. And no longer can we rely on the president, Congress, the courts, or the police to protect us from wrongdoing.
Indeed, they have come to embody all that is wrong with America.
For instance, how does a man who is relatively healthy when taken into custody by police lapse into a coma and die while under their supervision? What kind of twisted logic allows a police officer to use a police car to run down an American citizen and justifies it in the name of permissible deadly force? And what country are we living in where the police can beat, shoot, choke, taser and tackle American citizens, all with the protection of the courts?
Certainly, the Constitution’s safeguards against police abuse means nothing when government agents can crash through your door, terrorize your children, shoot your dogs, and jail you on any number of trumped of charges, and you have little say in the matter. For instance, San Diego police, responding to a domestic disturbance call on a Sunday morning, showed up at the wrong address, only to shoot the homeowner’s 6-year-old service dog in the head.
Rubbing salt in the wound, it’s often the unlucky victim of excessive police force who ends up being charged with wrongdoing. Although 16-year-old Thai Gurule was charged with resisting arrest and strangling and assaulting police officers, a circuit judge found that it was actually the three officers who unlawfully stopped, tackled, punched, kneed, tasered and yanked his hair who were at fault. Thankfully, bystander cell phone videos undermined police accounts, which were described as “works of fiction.”
Not even our children are being spared the blowback from a growing police presence. As one juvenile court judge noted in testimony to Congress, although having police on public school campuses did not make the schools any safer, it did result in large numbers of students being arrested for misdemeanors such as school fights and disorderly conduct. One 11-year-old autistic Virginia student was charged with disorderly conduct and felony assault after kicking a trashcan and resisting a police officer’s attempt to handcuff him. A 14-year-old student was tasered by police, suspended and charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and trespassing after he failed to obey a teacher’s order to be the last student to exit the classroom.
There is no end to the government’s unmitigated gall in riding roughshod over the rights of the citizenry, whether in matters of excessive police powers, militarized police, domestic training drills, SWAT team raids, surveillance, property rights, overcriminalization, roadside strip searches, profit-driven fines and prison sentences, etc.
The president can now direct the military to detain, arrest and secretly execute American citizens. These are the powers of an imperial dictator, not an elected official bound by the rule of law. For the time being, Barack Obama wears the executioner’s robe, but you can rest assured that this mantle will be worn by whomever occupies the Oval Office in the future.
A representative government means nothing when the average citizen has little to no access to their elected officials, while corporate lobbyists enjoy a revolving door relationship with everyone from the President on down. Indeed, while members of Congress hardly work for the taxpayer, they work hard at being wooed by corporations, which spend more to lobby our elected representatives than we spend on their collective salaries. For that matter, getting elected is no longer the high point it used to be. As one congressman noted, for many elected officials, “Congress is no longer a destination but a journey… [to a] more lucrative job as a K Street lobbyist… It's become routine to see members of Congress drop their seat in Congress like a hot rock when a particularly lush vacancy opens up.”
As for the courts, they have long since ceased being courts of justice. Instead, they have become courts of order, largely marching in lockstep with the government’s dictates, all the while helping to increase the largesse of government coffers. It’s called for-profit justice, and it runs the gamut of all manner of financial incentives in which the courts become cash cows for communities looking to make an extra buck. As journalist Chris Albin-Lackey details, “They deploy a crushing array of fines, court costs, and other fees to harvest revenues from minor offenders that these communities cannot or do not want to raise through taxation.” In this way, says Albin-Lackey, “A resident of Montgomery, Alabama who commits a simple noise violation faces only a $20 fine—but also a whopping $257 in court costs and user fees should they seek to have their day in court.”
As for the rest—the schools, the churches, private businesses, service providers, nonprofits and your fellow citizens—many are also marching in lockstep with the police state. This is what is commonly referred to as community policing. After all, the police can’t be everywhere. So how do you police a nation when your population outnumbers your army of soldiers? How do you carry out surveillance on a nation when there aren’t enough cameras, let alone viewers, to monitor every square inch of the country 24/7? How do you not only track but analyze the transactions, interactions and movements of every person within the United States? The answer is simpler than it seems: You persuade the citizenry to be your eyes and ears.
It’s a brilliant ploy, with the added bonus that while the citizenry remains focused on and distrustful of each other, they’re incapable of focusing on more definable threats that fall closer to home—namely, the government and its militarized police. In this way, we’re seeing a rise in the incidence of Americans being reported for growing vegetables in their front yard, keeping chickens in their back yard, letting their kids walk to the playground alone, and voicing anti-government sentiments. For example, after Shona Banda’s son defended the use of medical marijuana during a presentation at school, school officials alerted the police and social services, and the 11-year-old was interrogated, taken into custody by social workers, had his home raided by police and his mother arrested.
Now it may be that we have nothing to worry about. Perhaps the government really does have our best interests at heart. Perhaps covert domestic military training drills such as Jade Helm really are just benign exercises to make sure our military is prepared for any contingency. As the Washington Post describes the operation:
The mission is vast both geographically and strategically: Elite service members from all four branches of the U.S. military will launch an operation this summer in which they will operate covertly among the U.S. public and travel from state to state in military aircraft. Texas, Utah and a section of southern California are labeled as hostile territory, and New Mexico isn’t much friendlier.
Now I don’t believe in worrying over nothing, but it’s safe to say that the government has not exactly shown itself to be friendly in recent years, nor have its agents shown themselves to be cognizant of the fact that they are civilians who answer to the citizenry, rather than the other way around.
Whether or not the government plans to impose some form of martial law in the future remains to be seen, but there can be no denying that we’re being accustomed to life in a military state. The malls may be open for business, the baseball stadiums may be packed, and the news anchors may be twittering nonsense about the latest celebrity foofa, but those are just distractions from what is really taking place: the transformation of America into a war zone.
Trust me, if it looks like a battlefield (armored tanks on the streets, militarized police in metro stations, surveillance cameras everywhere), sounds like a battlefield (SWAT team raids nightly, sound cannons to break up large assemblies of citizens), and acts like a battlefield (police shooting first and asking questions later, intimidation tactics, and involuntary detentions), it’s a battlefield.
Indeed, what happened in Ocala, Florida, is a good metaphor for what’s happening across the country: Sheriff’s deputies, dressed in special ops uniforms and riding in an armored tank on a public road, pulled a 23-year-old man over and issued a warning violation to him after he gave them the finger. The man, Lucas Jewell, defended his actions as a free speech expression of his distaste for militarized police.
Translation: “We the people” are being hijacked on the highway by government agents with little knowledge of or regard for the Constitution, who are hyped up on the power of their badge, outfitted for war, eager for combat, and taking a joy ride—on taxpayer time and money—in a military tank that has no business being on American soil.
Rest assured, unless we slam on the brakes, this runaway tank will soon be charting a new course through terrain that bears no resemblance to land of our forefathers, where freedom meant more than just the freedom to exist and consume what the corporate powers dish out.
Rod Serling, one of my longtime heroes and the creator of The Twilight Zone, understood all too well the danger of turning a blind eye to evil in our midst, the “things that scream for a response.” As Serling warned, “if we don't listen to that scream - and if we don't respond to it - we may well wind up sitting amidst our own rubble, looking for the truck that hit us - or the bomb that pulverized us. Get the license number of whatever it was that destroyed the dream. And I think we will find that the vehicle was registered in our own name.”
If you haven’t managed to read the writing on the wall yet, the war has begun.

The Silent Generation is the one previous to Baby Boomers, they just wanted to work together and rebuild after WWII. But they seemed to have allowed VICHY DC to go totally corrupt while they became wealthy leaders of business.
I agree that Baby Boomers started out as those that "Question Authority", but somehow became Yuppies who don't say anything much anymore.
How did the Elites get the Hippies and Rebels to sit down and shut up? I guess they were so poor and had such high costs for everything like health care they had to "join" the system.
Maybe Diseases were added with the Fluoride, maybe they had to take care of WWII Survivors who got cancer, the cancer generation.
I am a boomer and you don't know what you're talking about. Every generation has blind followers.
Of note, most boomers' parents are dead. Do the math, if you can.
For those that doubt it's already too late for the JewSA, just study what happened to goyim in Russia at the hands of the very Jewish NKVD in the very Jewish Bolshevik "Revolution" aka overthrow of that country.
Good luck Muricans, but my bet is it's all over for you.
Been over for me for a long time honey ... The rest of u just waking up... But u ain't seen nothing yet...... And neither have I ......
Americans aren't special in this don't fool urselves with ur own patriotic ignorance..... And those who hate Americans are the ones who will take us there....
Isis enjoy the swarms! Not that I didn't warn u!

Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
I have studied tyranny through out history, starting with the archetypical Nazis. As a result I can boldly state that no oppressed people have had at their disposal the weapon that the American people have to use against their oppressors. That weapon lies in the fact that the banksters, the DC US, and their Zionist masters derive their power almost exclusively off of our debt-laden backs. Debts that represent their thefts from the said same American people. If we, the American people, were to withdraw our backs and quit paying, their ponzi system of grift and related tyranny would collapse in an instant.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
The most powerful weapon the American people have is Rejection.
The system of fraud and theft that has been built up upon the backs of the American people is dependent upon our backs. Withdraw our backs, and the whole scheme collapses. This is our greatest weapon.
Quit Paying--Put it into food, and precious metals, etc. They stole whatever "debt money" they loaned you in the first place (fractional reserve banking) and soon you won't be able to pay them anyways.
Quit Obeying--If they are in violation of the Constitution then they are not legitimate anyways.
Quit Playing--Quit being a tool for them to use.
The Four Rs
Rejection: Stop Paying, Stop Obeying, Stop Playing
Revolution: It is inevitable, so prepare, as they are.
Retribution: The guilty must answer for their crimes against the American people and the Constitution.
Restoration: Restore the American people, country and Constitutional republic.
And these guys are trained in violence and self defense as much as anybody.

Not only about violence. Violence and theft is all tyranny has to offer, but we the people must study them, their ways, and especially the systems that their violence springs from, and then destroy those systems.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
In a lot of ways Revolution begins with language. When one begins to question, and/or reject, the language of that tyranny utilizes, they have moved ever so closer to their first "no," the initiator of Revolution.
Ruling elites instigate conflicts and violence within their realm of control tearing society and culture apart. That's their job. They turn one group of their slaves or serfs against the other according to ancient rule to divide and conquer.
Why we let them do it? Why we cannot put aside all the our often legitimate differences and attitudes and unite under one single purpose, to reject ruling elites, their state run system and their courtiers that do dirty job of oppression and manipulation for their masters. Why don't we say "Elites Must Go".
Why can't we say that all those running local, state and federal officials and their cronies including courts, prisons and political institutions such as Congress, Supreme Court and US administration, FED etc. must go.
Why can't we say that all political, financial, educational, economical, media, and military controlling bureaucracies, US deep state, that are acting against our basic interests and largely cause our suffering, must go.
They are good for nothing useless for us anyway, often unqualified or unprofessional, truly non-essential to running the country ready to be replaced by tens of thousands of highly skilled and educated ordinary people understanding that in their position of power they are just servants to the people as sovereign of the state.
What we are afraid of. What it takes to start is one mental act of defiance, mental act of rebellion to say "Elites Must Go".
We all know that the only alternative to freedom is dynastic neo-feudal servitude. Time is running out. Make your choice.

Good and truthful stuff.
Your concern with the division the elites sow in the people is one of my main concerns. I try to counter it by resorting to two devices, ideas.
1) Priority lists. Put the criminal elites on top, especially the banksters and their violence-puppets, government, and then say "illegals," fags, and gay marriage, etc. down lower. Once the American country has been Restored, then people that are concerned about such things can deal with those things. (I personally don't care about those other things, but others do and it interferes with their priorities, and so must be addressed).
A lot of the resentment and anger (division) people feel about these other things is a symptom of tyranny violating our basic rights to Property and Liberty (free association). If you don't like fags, "illegals," etc., you don't have to associate, hire, or deal with them. No problem. Tyranny has not only violated the basic right of free association, but caused people to forget it in benefit to tyranny.
2) The Constitution. While flawed, it is still "the Law of the Land," and needs to rightfully be reinstituted, and its violators held to account. After the American country and Constitutional republic has been Restored, then we Americans can discuss and debate changes or another form of government. (I personally am a libertarian and don't like any government, but the American people are not ready for that by a long shot.)
The Declaration of Independence inspires and challenges us to:
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
I say we reinstitute the Constitution, as a form of uniting the American people against the tyranny that afflicts us, and then debate new "principles," and new "powers" after.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
The Four Rs
Rejection: Stop Paying, Stop Obeying, Stop Playing
Revolution: It is inevitable, so prepare, as they are.
Retribution: The guilty must answer for their crimes against the American people and the Constitution.
Restoration: Restore the American people, country and Constitutional republic.
I constanly read suggestions like your's about not paying, not obeying,etc. But how in hell does one do that without this nazi government responding by confiscating your goods and\or throwing your ass in jail. Please answer and tell me. I would really like to know.
By the way, I am part Cherokee and do know what the"great white fathers" did to my relatives in the past.
But how in hell does one do that without this nazi government responding by confiscating your goods and\or throwing your ass in jail.
Of course there are many legal actions one can take that will harm them.
Get rid of your Cell Phone is a great start. Getting rid of your cable TeeVee is even better.
The Government can only garner REVENUES when Cash is spent.
Stop spending on EVERYTHING which is not necessary. This restricts Government Tax Revenues. Reject the system as much as you can.
Stop working and live off of savings. Stop working FOR THEM. Everytime that you are being a wage slave then you are paying them for that.
If you own a business shut it down and fire your employees. The high unemployment will BANKRUPT THEM.
They can only be parasites on your productivity.
Stop supporting them. Financial support is SUPPORT.
Your level of participation, compliance, and being a complicit actor within the system is up to you.
Your level of rejection and Tax Revolt is up to you.
Note that everything which I wrote about is LEGAL. Nobody can force you to spend money.
And yes. If everybody did this for two weeks it would bring the entire Government down.
Two weeks of a 300 Million people Nationwide strike would have the Banksters screaming and the Government dead. Even one half doing this for two weeks would cause so many disruptions in supply chains and bring about total chaos.
Two weeks of a lousy inconvenience...
Now you cannot control 300 Million people. But you can control yourself.
Now you may ask what difference does it make if just one does it.
Well an avalanche begins with one snowflake, doesn't it?
I have already opted out as much as i can. I live quite frugally.
You can do it. It is perfectly LEGAL.
Opt out today.
Withdraw all of you capital from the banks.
I have no debt, no job (don't need one) own 50 acres of good land with 34 various types of animals, well that's a job I guess. Most of what I buy is to support my farm. Won't tell about firearms and ammunition but am sure the "G" has a pretty good idea of what I have. My wife and I have concealed carry permits and are quite proficient with everything we own. My level of "tax revolt" is not much since I don't like the thought of dealing with the IRS. I pay my real estate taxes since I am, in reality, leasing my land from the state and the county, don't pay and they take the farm. Don't trust the banks but where else can one keep their money without too much worry? Certainly not in the so-called mattress and don't tell me about so-called PMs because it cost to get them and cost to sell when you need the cash. Don't have a land line and cell phone is necessary for contact with friends and relatives, could easily live without it though. Obviously, you have internet access or you could not post here. Cell phone is the only means of internet access that a lot of us in farm country have else I would have to drive twenty miles to nearest town for wifi access. Again, I could live without internet but it is very enjoyable to be able peruse sites like this to get away from the bullshit MSM.
Seems like you and Kchrisc have put a lot of thought into this subject though and I wish more people would do the same.
@cherokeepilot
Every individual must evaluate their individual situation, and do what they can when they can.
The important thing is that you have thought about it, and have a plan of "no" that fits you.
Some may be struggling to pay a mortgage while juggling 3 jobs. Maybe they might want to just Stop, put the payments in PMs, and bang-metals (BMs). They would also have cash on hand if and when they get evicted.
Someone struggling with a student loan should get a deferment, and save the cash.
As things deteriorate further, you, and others reading this, can then implement their plans in a way that suits them.
As more Americans take stock and wake up, more and more of us can tell the grifting banksters and their violence-puppets, the DC US government, to get bent.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.
I suggest that a Direct Democracy, similar to that being used in Switzerland for the last 150 years or so, would be a "regime change we can believe in". Let the people make the decisions and not the self-serving, lying and corrupt politians.
I'm in favor of Direct Democracy (DD), rather than a Representative Republic (RR). The former has a track record of success, the latter does NOT. Facts are facts, Jack.
The red-herring argument that is typically presented in arguing against DD and for a RR, is the alleged "Tyranny of the 51%" (over the 49%). This is utter hogwash and bullshit!
Given that RR has given us "Tyranny of the 2% over the 98%", it is a Sophist (fallacious) argument. Don't forget that this is EXACTLY what we get when the vote for Congress seats or the President is 51/49%. Two-faced hypocrites!
And IF there were a consistent 51/49 split over most policy issues, then you know what this means? Fine, I'll spell it out for you: It means that the 'country' is not a real country. It is an artificial construct, that seeks to be split up into its Natural parts.
Geez, I'm getting tired of 'stoopid' people! More so each day. If truth be told, the ONLY good thing about this "Agenda 21" thing (whether real or imagined), is that it would hopefully eliminate the dumbest 80% out of the gene pool, so that the fucking Neanderthals could no longer propagate.
Indignant Kirk out.

Idiots.
You persuade the citizenry to be your eyes and ears.
Hey how bout me. I see a lot too. Like the World War III the war against bankers. 7 billion people against the assholes in the NWO that are funding this, what we call, violations against existence. You stop the funding and whole thing collapses in days. Throw the bankers into prisons and society recovers in months.
In the near term, spread the word about Jade Helm and the strong piss of a ff to start a war with Iran ( or Russsia ).
It's not just the large banks, or mic, or transnational zionism, or the so-called globalists. its the political and military and clandestine puppets that carry it out.
We need to hope that either a civilwar happens amongst the globalists and american deep state... or that they have miscalculated.
I think they have miscalculated as to Russia, and may be creating the conditions requisite to unify the muslim world in a generation, as leaders emerge against Saudi/Israeli/American manipulation.
They certainly don't grasp that if America is pushed to civil war, it will not be a fire they can control. or they do grasp it, and wish to see a new superpower emerge... likely lead by Israel and a cartel of banking family dynasties, Anglo/American and, if course, Babylonian Pharisee.

While the greedy keep buying gold I have been buying other precious metals. Lead and Brass!! I will have your gold too!! LMAO
Given the state of affairs that now exist I would say what we have now is tyranny by a consortium of business and government. The will of the people is being ignored.
Griffin's site freedom force international dot org has a lot of info, there's a lot to read and consider, and some useful links. Highly recommend.

As for the rest—the schools, the churches, private businesses, service providers, nonprofits and your fellow citizens—many are also marching in lockstep with the police state. This is what is commonly referred to as community policing
Number 17.
7. Our kingdom will be an apologia of the divinity Vishnu, in whom is found its personification - in our hundred hands will be, one in each, the springs of the machinery of social life. We shall see everything without the aid of official police which, in that scope of its rights which we elaborated for the use of the GOYIM, hinders governments from seeing. In our programs ONE-THIRD OF OUR SUBJECTS WILL KEEP THE REST UNDER OBSERVATION from a sense of duty, on the principle of volunteer service to the State. It will then be no disgrace to be a spy and informer, but a merit: unfounded denunciations, however, will be cruelly punished that there may be development of abuses of this right.
8. Our agents will be taken from the higher as well as the lower ranks of society, from among the administrative class who spend their time in amusements, editors, printers and publishers, booksellers, clerks, and salesmen, workmen, coachmen, lackeys, et cetera. This body, having no rights and not being empowered to take any action on their own account, and consequently a police without any power, will only witness and report: verification of their reports and arrests will depend upon a responsible group of controllers of police affairs, while the actual act of arrest will be performed by the gendarmerie and the municipal police. Any person not denouncing anything seen or heard concerning questions of polity will also be charged with and made responsible for concealment, if it be proved that he is guilty of this crime.
There may be an "Eye Opener" Soon! (within 4 years) A Change in "Reserve Currency". The Reasons: AIIB & Silk Road. The 1945 Standard: U.S. Dollar will change.
The main variant to the situation is the guns in US. There is no precedent, off top of my head, to the abundance of weapons held by a citizenry. Having lived in the south alot, every man woman and child has some sort of shooter. Albeit the majority doesnt get what is going on, but once you pull the rug, the die hard rock flag and eagle people will be at it. It would take a standing army to overtake parts of the US, local cops or sheriffs wouldnt even come close, and would likely side with the people or be gotten. Even an army would be largely out numbered, and the US track record with guerrilla warfare, it not so good. Its always darkest before the dawn, the banksters/luciferians dont get the cake walk they are hoping for.
If the People haven't used them yet, I'm convinced they will never use them.
Could be the Elites want the Chinese or other foreign soldiers to come to CONUS and support our Free Trade Agreements.
This fits in with various possible agendas: Depopulation being the main one.
- The great thing about a war on US Soil with foreign soldiers is more than one country gets depopulated.
And for some reason I just think the Elites want to import foreigners that work hard for less money like slaves.
- I think they want to continue a warped education program that makes serfs dumb and unable to reach the highest social classes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think they want to destroy the culture of freedom, liberty & equality. Proof is in Free Trade Agreements.

Followup story about the man who was beaten by deputies after leading them on a merry horseback chase...
http://news.sky.com/story/1469619/payout-for-horseback-fugitive-beaten-b...
A California county has approved a $650,000 (£435,000) settlement to stave off a lawsuit by a man who was beaten by deputies after a chase on horseback.
San Bernardino County spokesman David Wert said the payout was agreed with Francis Pusok in a meeting on Tuesday.
Mr Wert says the agreement would settle all potential claims stemming from the 30-year-old's arrest on 9 April.
Standard Disclaimer: At the very least, make them pay through the nose.
Tyler, I agree in principal with the premise of your post - the threat to the constitution of an overreaching government. However, even though this may be obvious to most bloggers on this site, it is important to realize that only a select group of American's, those that advocate the traditional values that built this country, are being targeted. Let's not confuse the legitimate behavior by the police at Henderson for example, with the violence against the constitution that you speak of. IMO, illegal immigration, insider and otherwise illegal trading by banksters, the abuse of the fed, control of our political system by duel citizens (in the broader sense) - these are more widespread, greater assaults against the constitution, and more dangerous to our society (at least at this point), than unjustified police brutality. They also represent the root cause of many of our other problems. Fix them, and some of the other problems diminish.
The simple truth is this, the government is a servant to the people. Servants are employed. They are fiduciaries of a trust relationship. Trust law says the servants must act in the best interests of their employer, the people. Have any of you given the authorized power of agency (signed, knowlingly and willingly) of your property to these servants? The answer is no. Yet when they send us a demand for money, we comply. Well, most of us comply.
So...make sure to vote in 2016?

Seriously. Humans are hopeless. Even the best messages below are as hopeless as they are sincere and well intentioned. Wake up, humans! Learn to operate your brain! And I mean that literally.
Example. A dozen or two human beings sit around a table. They smear ink on paper. They call the piece of paper "constitution". And they draw some lines on a map and call that a "nation".
Now, what happened?
Did a "government" or "nation" pop into existence? Clearly not. What exists after they smeared ink on paper is precisely what exited before they smeared ink on paper. They merely altered the location of some ink.
It is a FACT that "government" does not exist. What existed before they smeared ink on paper is a pack of human predators with evil intent. What existed after they smeared ink on paper is a pack of human predators with evil intent.
To concoct a "name" for something does not create something new in the world. At most, those humans reconfigured their brain slightly to create a new mental-unit in their brains. Again, that is in their brains.
What is something in your brain that does not mean or refer-to something in the external world? The answer is "fiction". To create a new mental-unit in your brain called "Santa Claus" does NOT create a fat man and toy factory at the north pole. If you believe it did, then you are insane in the most fundamental way possible... an inability to distinguish "real versus fiction" AKA "exists versus does not exist" AKA "something versus nothing".
To be, or not to be. That is indeed the question. And the answer to why human beings are absolutely, completely, totally and utterly screwed! Because they waste most of their time, efforts, attention and resources on... NOTHING. Or to say it another way, they waste most of their attention, time, effort, attention and resources on actions taken on the assumption that their fictional mental-units refer-to something in the external world.
As such, the vast majority of humans are the saddest, most absurd piles of quivering protoplasm that any sane creature can imagine. In fact, most sane creatures could not imagine such an absurdity if they didn't have the object example everywhere they go where humans live.
As long as humans can't understand the status of their mental-units, they will not be able to comprehend what is happening to them, and how utterly and completely they are being abused and wasted.
A sane human (one who knows how to operate his consciousness) would consider events like the one I described above... where a dozen or two human predators smear ink on paper and CLAIM to have created and then named a "government".
And such a human would clearly identify and understand precisely what happened. What happened? A pack of human predators decided to act like a pack of human predators. They were human predators before they smeared ink, and they were human predators after they smeared ink.
What to do with human predators? Sane answer: same thing as any other animal predator species. If they are a threat, exterminate them. But to know what to do, you must understand that you are dealing with "a pack of human predators", not a "government", which has no meaning because nothing new popped into existence when they smeared the ink on paper. Or at most, a new name appeared in their brains to name and thus identify those specific human predators. But that's just a name, no change in the reality occurred.
To operate a human brain is not difficult. Really, it is fairly simple. But since virtually nobody knows how to operate a human brain, nobody gives the typical human any lessons in how to reliably operate their brain.
However, there is an endless steam of statements that claim to tell everyone how to think and what to think, but they are ALL designed to convince humans to be insane, to convince them to accept an endless spew of words and names that mean NOTHING, jam them into their brains, assign the most absurd ideas to them, and assume they are NON-FICTION mental-units to be taken seriously, and to guide their entire lives.
And so, humans become radically and fundamentally insane at very young ages... ever younger ages as time passes.

One really needs to wonder though. Even if a human doesn't immediately catch on to the spew of fictions in scenarios like I described above, don't they even notice how completely insane those ideas are... even on their own terms?
I mean, seriously! Does ANYONE really believe that somehow, anyhow, a couple dozen yahoos smear ink on paper could possibly create and place valid, legitimate obligations upon millions or billions of other human beings who were not involved, not signatories, and in most cases not even born for 200 years?
NOBODY, not even insane humans can believe such nonsense! Want proof? Go ask 100 random people. Ask them this. If we gather a couple dozen random humans, smear some ink on a piece of paper or parchment, can the words on that piece of paper create and place valid legitimate obligations upon millions or billions of human beings? I doubt you'll find even one moron stupid enough to say "yes". And if you do, ask them what happens when 100,000 groups of individuals smear ink on their own papers... then what? That imposes 100,000 different (and surely wildly contradictory) valid and legitimate obligations upon millions or billions of human beings?
I mean, seriously! This (and endless other absurd claims that modern humans accept as if they are as real and fundamental as earth) is so crazy as to be beyond belief. Yet... 99.999% of human beings BELIEVE IT. Not only do they believe it... they let these insane beliefs become the guiding center of their lives, and control most of their decisions and actions for their entire lives!

Here in ZH, as everywhere else, humans spend billions of hours debating subtle nooks, crannies and aspects of... FICTIONS... as if the topics they discuss mean and refer-to something. BUT THEY DON'T. Every single conversation that includes or depends on concepts like "law", "nation", "official", "authority", "government", and endless more is fundamentally insane. Why? Because they are fictions! They do not exist any more than a fat man in a red suit lives in his toy factory on the north pole, and delivers toys to good boys and girls all over the world on Christmas eve every year.
Yet notice. Santa Claus doesn't need to exist for the mental-unit named "Santa Claus" to motivate kids to take endless actions, and get up at 5am when you couldn't drag them out of bed at 5am on any other day with a crow bar!
Yes indeed! Bogus mental-units MOTIVATE... if you take them seriously. If you take them to mean and refer-to something real rather than just a silly fantasy.
And so, the predators-that-be for thousands of years have been spreading the intellectual poison called "fictions" into the brains of humans worldwide. Humans who could have been something great, because their brains have the capacity for greatness. But 99.999% of the human brains on planet earth have been so destroyed that they cannot function properly.
And sadly, being an advocate for liberty doesn't make a human being any more sane! For evidence, just look at the endless ways they justify "liberty"! Like, "because some ink smeared on a piece of parchment by human predators 240 years ago says this or that"... which presumes and accepts many fictions. Like those people had some fictional "authority" to obligate billions of human beings over thousands of miles and endless centuries! No such pack of human predators has ever existed that had ANY "authority", much less such absurd, over-the-top measures of fairy-dust as this claim implies. And endless other approaches to justifying liberty deface endless books and computer screens.
How about the real answer? The term "authority" is blatant fiction. The term has no basis whatsoever to mean anything real. Think about it. Think about any two people you wish. They are both human. They both came to exist the same way (they were born). Notice the symmetry? Notice they have the same fundamental relationships to each other. Thus, there is NO BASIS WHATSOEVER for human being A to gain so-called "authority" over human being B... that human being B doesn't have over human being A. Namely ZERO.
There are sooooo many ways to clearly demonstrate that virtually EVERY conversation at ZH and liberty sites is irrelevant, because they presume all sorts of completely absurd fictions are real, and not only real, but the most important reality in reality. Which is crazy!
What exists? The universe, galaxies, stars, moons, asteroids, comets, planets... and on planets oceans, lakes, rivers, islands, continents... and in all these places various microscopic organisms, plants and animals. That's pretty much it. Almost everything else humans talk in the context of human interactions is bogus.
In these contexts, all that [actually] exists is earth and humans and various hunks of physical stuff lying around. Which is why ALL these conversations can be reduced to what? To interactions between humans and humans, or humans and physical stuff. The end. Everything else is just insane ramblings. Reality, including humans and their interactions, are massively easier to consider and understand when all fictions are eliminated from consideration. And that is one massive understatement!
