Americans Are Being Prepared For Full Spectrum Tyranny

Totalitarian governments, like persistent forms of cancer, have latched onto the long history of man, falling and then reemerging from the deep recesses of our cultural biology to wreak havoc upon one unlucky generation to the next. The assumption by most is that these unfortunate empires are the product of bureaucracies gone awry; overtaken by the chaotic maddening hunger for wealth and power, and usually manipulated by the singular ambitions of a mesmerizing dictator. For those of us in the Liberty Movement who are actually educated on the less acknowledged details of history, oligarchy and globalized centralism is much less random than this, and a far more deliberate and devious process than the general unaware public is willing consider.
Unfortunately, the final truth is very complex, even for us…
One cannot place the blame of despotism entirely on the shoulders of globalists. Sadly, the crimes of elites are only possible with a certain amount of complicity from subsections of the populace. Without our penchant for apathy and fear, there can be no control. That is to say, there is no power over us but that which we give away. We pave the road to our own catastrophes.
In the end, a tyrant’s primary job is not to crush the masses and rule out of malevolence, but to obtain the voluntary consent of the citizenry, usually through trickery and deceit. Without the permission of the people, subconscious or otherwise, no tyranny can survive.
As with the oppressive regimes of the past, America has undergone a dramatic transformation, heavy with fear and ignorance. Our tradition of elections has been corrupted and negated by the false left/right paradigm, and the leaderships of both defunct parties now seek only to elevate a select minority of men bent on globalization. Our Constitutional liberties have been dismantled by legal chicanery. Our principles have been diluted by intellectual games of rationalism and moral relativism. Our country is ripe for conquest.
Americans battle over whose side is most to blame; Democrat or Republican, while ironically being disenchanted with both entities. For some people, the thought of holding each party equally accountable, or accepting that they are essentially the same animal, never crosses their minds.
While this irrelevant farce of a debate rages on, the true culprits plotting the demise of our Republic gain momentum, and implement policy initiatives that the public should and must take note of. In the past year alone, many blatant steps towards the Orwellian gulag have been openly administered. A carnival of peddlers and freaks and greasy popcorn overwhelms our senses, but the stench of this cheap circus still tickles our noses, and if we use our eyes for even a moment, certain dangerous trends reveal themselves. Here are just a few recent events that bear a dire warning; the ultimate assault on freedom in this nation grows near…
Acclimation To Subservience
Every totalitarian state worth its salt has its own goon squad. The Nazi’s had the “Brownshirts”, the Soviets had the “Militsiya” and the “Voluntary People’s Brigade”, the Communist Chinese have the “Chengguan”, etc. In America, however, all tyrannical measures are given innocuous bureaucratic labels to mislead and distract the masses. In this country, we have the Transportation Security Administration…
The TSA has become the most hated alphabet agency in the U.S. in perhaps the fastest time on record. It has violated the personal rights of more people on a daily basis in my view than the IRS, DEA, and the ATF combined. Clearly, this slobbering demon child of the Department of Homeland Security is being molded for something quite terrible and grand.
When confronted by the public on the use of irradiating and intrusive naked body scanner technology, the agency responded by allowing their blue handed ghoul army with to molest our nether-regions. When confronted by state and local governments on their absurd tactics, the TSA threatened economic blockades and airport shutdowns. The organization then began expanding its jurisdiction to bus and train stations and even our highways when it introduced the VIPR program and implemented random roadside checkpoints in Tennessee last year. But, this behavior is nothing compared to what is next on the horizon: a compromise…
Beware of government agencies bearing gifts. The TSA along with the International Air Transport Association has announced a new methodology of “less intrusive” passenger screening measures, in order to address the concerns of the public over pat downs and irradiating naked body scanners. This SOUNDS like a step in the right direction, and a proper response to the grievances of the citizenry. Instead, it turns out to be a refined example of totalitarianism in motion, and a perfect lesson in how the masses can be duped into handing over their inherent freedoms.
Revamped security protocols call for biometric data collection, including fingerprint and retina scans, and a tunnel which combines multiple detection systems into one area (who knows how radioactive this will end up being):
The mainstream article above makes this development sound like a win/win scenario for everyone, painting biometric data collection as a matter of convenience, but it also reveals the true design of the system; to illicit voluntary subservience:
“The key to speeding up checkpoints and making security less intrusive will be to identify and assess travelers according to the risks they pose to safety in the skies. The so-called riskiest or unknown passengers would face the toughest scrutiny, including questioning and more sensitive electronic screening. Those who voluntarily provide more information about themselves to the government would be rewarded with faster passage…”
They enforce destructive anti-personal rights policies then pretend to acquiesce by replacing them with a technocratic nightmare grid which requires the cataloging of our very genetic essence in order to function. The only remaining injustice left would be to apply this grid to the rest of the country outside of the airports and train stations, which I assure you, they plan to do.
Militarization
Last week, I covered the disturbing use of armored vehicles (APC’s or urban tanks) in open training regiments on the streets of St. Louis by the U.S Army, despite the fact that all of their exercises could have easily been accomplished on any number of military bases across the country. The action is an obvious attempt to condition the American populace to the sight of military units operating in a policing capacity:
http://www.alt-market.com/articles/866-military-tanks-on-st-louis-streetsbut-why
I received multiple letters from current serving military who stated that in all their years in the armed forces they had never seen such a brash mishandling of public relations or an overstepping of bounds when it came to the restrictions of Posse Comitatus. It was encouraging to hear from military men and women who did not agree with or condone this kind of psyop activity on the part of our government.
Though the St. Louis event is not isolated, I believe it does represent an escalation.
Remember the controversy over the Mayor of Toledo and his refusal to allow 200 Marines to conduct urban combat drills on the public streets of his city in 2008? The media clamored to crucify this public official; one of the few who had any sense whatsoever in his head:
http://voices.yahoo.com/toledo-mayor-faces-backlash-ousting-marines-896105.html
Or the tactical exercises using helicopters and combat troops over LA and Chicago early this year?
http://www.lapdonline.org/newsroom/news_view/50045
During each one of these events, city officials and local media attempted to inoculate the public with claims that they were “simply exercises”. This argument misses the point entirely. Whether or not these are “exercises” is not the issue. The issue is that this training could be done ON BASE. Using public streets and running drills within cities is absolutely unnecessary given the vast resources already available to the military, unless, of course, the goal is to BE SEEN by the public and to influence them to view the sight of armed troops around them as “normal”.
Add to this the fact that many of these military training exercises are being conducted in tandem with local police department, and you have a recipe for the utter militarization of our society, turning peace officers into combat soldiers, and combat soldiers into law enforcement mechanisms; a juxtaposition that will soon lead to unmitigated disaster.
Arms Race Against the People?
When a country is quietly preparing for war, the first signs are usually revealed by a disclosure of armaments. If stockpiling is taking place without a warranted threat present from a legitimate enemy, there is a considerable likelihood of aggression on the part of that nation. America has gone well beyond the psychological process of militarization and has begun the extensive arming of particular agencies whose primary purpose revolves around the domestic.
The DHS, for instance, placed an order for over 450 million rounds of hollowpoint .40 cal ammunition in April of this year:
http://rt.com/usa/news/dhs-million-point-government-179/
And it placed an order for over 7000 new semi-automatic combat rifles chambered in .223 (5.56 by 45mm NATO) immediately after:
While local police through federal programs (like the 1033 Program) are being given millions of dollars in free military equipment, including body armor, night vision equipment, APC's, aircraft, first aid supplies, weapons, surveillance equipment, Kevlar helmets, gas masks and filters, vehicles, etc.:
http://www.ogs.state.sc.us/surplus/SP-1033-index.phtm
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/06/cops-military-gear/all/
All of this equipment, though issued to state agencies, is still heavily tracked and regulated by the federal government, making it clear that these “gifts” come with strings attached:
http://www.newsherald.com/articles/program-103291-state-law.html
And finally, new FAA regulations will soon allow the dispersion of tens of thousands of predator drones with armament capability in the skies of the U.S. over the course of the next few years:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/feb/7/coming-to-a-sky-near-you/
http://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/10/nation/la-na-drone-arrest-20111211
Now, anyone with any logic would ask who it is that the government is arming itself and local police to fight against? Al Qaeda? Let’s not be naïve…
The passage of the NDAA and its provisions for the indefinite detainment of ANY person, even an American citizen, under the laws of war has ended the debate over government intent in terms of domestic action. FBI Director Robert Mueller’s admission that he “did not know” if assassination programs would be used against American citizens also heaped evidence on the matter. The bottom line? Our government wishes to label and treat citizens as enemy combatants. Of course they would then organize armaments to follow through on their policy.
Pulling The Trigger
All despotic systems have another distinct similarity; they each began with a series of trigger events which opened the door to tighter controls over the population. The most immediate trigger event for the U.S. is the looming peril of a collapsing economy followed by inevitable civil unrest. With the EU currently in debt shambles, global markets are on the verge of a considerable breakdown. The Federal Reserve response will be predictable; QE3 and massive stimulus all around to mitigate the crisis. This time, though, the go-to Keynesian quick fix will not work in the slightest. In fact, it will make matters more untenable by placing the world reserve status of the dollar at risk.
Everything that has happened so far in the markets this year has been easy to foresee. Alt-Market predicted the economic slowdown around the world and the collapse of overall demand using the Baltic Dry Index as a gauge back in January:
http://www.alt-market.com/articles/540-baltic-dry-index-signals-renewed-market-collapse
We also predicted the accelerated turmoil in the EU in light of the recent election results in France and Greece:
http://www.alt-market.com/articles/765-economic-alert-if-youre-not-worried-yetyou-should-be
If alternative economic analysts can predict these developments despite the manipulated statistics spewed out by the government every month, then I think the government and our central bank has a tremendously transparent view of what is coming down the road in terms of financial distress. I believe the establishment is very well aware of a potential crisis event, economic or otherwise, that is barreling down upon the U.S. I believe the evidence shows that they are preparing for this eventuality in a command and control fashion, without alerting the public to the coming implosion. I believe they will use the despair that flows forth from the fiscal wreckage as an excuse to institute martial law.
Call it "crazy". Call it “conspiracy theory”. Call it “coincidence”. Call it "fear mongering". Whatever you like. I find it far more insane to shrug off the strange and twisted behavior of our power structure, and simply hope that it’s all irrelevant to the future. Whenever I run into starry eyed historical romanticists who look back in astonishment at the tyrannies of the past and wonder out loud, “How could those people have not known where their country was headed?!!”, I think of where we are today…

SO, with this new bit of legislation, government will have to be allowed to dictate what people eat, smoke, drink, etc... Why? because Government will be "protecting the people's investment" In order to be patriotic, we won't want to cost our neighbors more money and possibly leave people without, would we?
Could we actually BE that selfish as to want to spend tax dollars on ourselves instead of the greater good? Sure, you may work 14 hours a day, but you are no better than tom smith, who has given up trying to find a job, and needs health care... Are you going to say he can't have it?
Cross your arms to big brother!
yes, this is going to really suck, pray we can eliminate the influence of "the dot"
I am off to go to work so that I can pay my taxes like a good little slave...
The underlying cause is diminishing resources (as populations increase).
If people believe that govts or other power entities rejoice in triggering mayhem you're wrong. There's plenty historical proof that instability creates unpredictable outcomes, and if there's anything that TPTB dislike more it's instability: the status quo IS the status quo because it represents stability for TPTB.
Wars and turmoil in general happen when there are resource shortages: yes, the "shortages" could be real or imagined (greed), but it's because some think there there needs to be MORE and that they sense a deficiency, a deficiency which threatens their established power, then wars and other turmoil will be undertaken (though only as a last option, and not for all the other BS reasons given; oh, except for a DISPLAY of power say against some totally hapless country/group of people.
Those "taxes" really are side affects of a system that's over-subsidized -HIDDEN- the real costs. Either way you'd be, and will be, paying; perhaps not to govt, but to one's community, a gasp! "tribal leader," big corporations for their passing along the costs of increased business risks (no longer the US military being their hired hit-men).
When TSHTF it will be the government that starts and escalates it.
TSHTF has already happened - Fukushima. All the world's governments are now planning for population containment. The economic crisis is just a scratch.
From the looks of what is going on, they appear to be preparing to put a death grip on order for some yet unfullymaterialized reason. My guess is that they are preparing for the obvious problem of financial collapse and the following crime wave plus street activism. But whatever they put in place will be in place forever.
Forever is a very long time.
"But whatever they put in place will be in place forever. "
All works on energy. The more something sucks energy (like big armies and police states), the less likely it will persist.
And, really, if it is in fact a BAD system, such as everyone implies/believes (and everyone would be right), and knowing that BAD systems cannot perpetuate (fundamentally flawed), then I see the probability of this being a "forever" kind of thing being extremely low.
Consider the possibility that it's all just psyops, just plain fear to create smoke so that TPTB can (look to) escape, and that TPTB know that they couldn't perpetuate such a paradigm.
Umm... No, it will be the banking cartel(s) and the governments THEY control.
I am sure it will involve JPM getting a big check.
When TSHTF it will be the government that starts and escalates it.
And why not? No one else is capable of action.
The nation of neuters talks endlessly, but never, ever acts.
Guest Post: Millions of Americans are already well PREPARED for full spectrum Tyranny.
There,fixed it for ya.
Glad I'm not the only one who reads infowars.
There's probly only like 30 or 40 million adults, at most, aware of whats goin on, and most of them are probably outside the cities. We will be easily "neutralized" when the hammer falls, being as we're all kooks anyhow. The critical thinkers are already marginalized. Ya think all the people gettin gov bucks are gonna care if the parasitic class crushes us? Hell no. We're on our own. The zombies around you will not hesitate.
Jones is the NWO pied piper - good luck
Yes.
Of course you are right.
Thank you for educating me.
I see that you know better than I.
I will adjust my opinion accordingly.
And your sincere wish for good luck is greatly appreciated.
no offense, and apologize for any taken - just sayin. He came in after the "militia" trolls went down and the Internet popped. Wouldn't you presume the banksters would be so prepped? been there done that (dinosaur)
I take his site with lots of grains of salt, and might even consider him a bit disinfo and fear porn, but there IS some good info on there if you use discernment and your own research. I suspect him of disinfo b/c he absolutely refuses to call out Zionism or Israel and the part they play in any credible way. He is also a clinical narcissist, dramatic actor, and a ceaseless ranter, which gets old after awhile. But I go there to pick through the site for legit info.
Yes: " there IS some good info" - HIS HANDLERS AREN'T GOING TO LET HIM LOOK STUPID (he's usually spoon-fed the latest): BUT YES "he absolutely refuses to call out Zionism or Israel (or Rome) and the part they play in any credible way."
SEE, the deal is that all the credible (now "His") info was streaming/viral prior to his "arrival"/pre-Net. Only newbies were caught off guard by the "Jones." The international banksters mafia cartel bent on NWO keeps their friends close and their enemies closer and has been heading back to "tweak" the machine at every roadblock (read: recently, armed rebellion types & more recently internet commandos).
tongue.stan, were you anywhere near the armed standoff in Montana in '96? Give a little credit to the armed crew that was on the other/OUT side of the lockdown - you know, the ones that shut down the Blood Games of the NWO (Waco) and also exposed the many ATF media-militia types who all soon after "retired." Did they call YOU from Ft. Davis when that was staged?
They could have sued me for defamation, but went on to admit same on the witness stand at the Freeman trial in '98. I wish sincere good blessings to your "30-40 million," but unfortunately, if you're signed in as a "Jones" follower, your likely first on the list. FYI, there ARE (not so friendly) Spiritual powers at work here. my puppy for prez has it right. Wake the fuck up. If they don't show in FORCE tomorrow, they'll come in slow and sneaky to entrap/unemploy/frame/kill you first.
In 1996 I was working my ass off in the oil fields of central california, as if thats any of your fucking business.
You trigger happy yokels are going to fuck up everything.
missed again you wazoo, unlike Waco or Ruby Rdige, not a shot fired and no one died ('cept the drunk fed that rolled his Bronco on a washboard road - seems he forgot to wear his seatbelt which was the law then). We (militias from and around) the entire Nation showed, they p'd their pants and artfully back-peddled. The Blood games stopped (mostly), giving time for the I-net to boost the cause. You're f'n welcome biatch. 'spouse you need to learn how to say "may I suck your d!@/" in commie?
So by your logic zerohedge is run by the banksters because it appeared after Paulson blackmailed congress.
Reactionay idiot.
Mr. Durden - and his guest posts - ROCK~! Don't be so presumptive tounge.
"We will be easily "neutralized" when the hammer falls"
Who is this "We" you talk about?
Rural folks would require far too much energy to deal with. I mean, this scenario has occurred MANY times over many millenia. Look at how Big Brother's horses and men are unable to "neutralize" the Afghan "rebels." (anyone putting up opposition from being occupied is a rebel) Power is focused in/on cities; TPTB will have to spend its energy There, not waste eternally diminishing energy on a handful of dispersed folks out in the hinterlands. Of course, TPTB rely on their Praetorian Guard to manage the populace, but this always eventually fails (perhaps quickly, perhaps over a couple of generations, but it DOES fail [because of the amount of energy required]).
Problem is our so-called rural types aren't generally use to fighting local tribes/CCCP/USA for thousands of years, living in caves, eating dirt and twigs with a continuous supply of opium for weapons. I'm on the USA People's side. Good news is there are white hats on the inside (intelligence/military/NG), and, there isn't anything they can build that we can't use against them. Plus, Freedom has a unique way of receiving a spiritual PUSH.
This "we" apparently does not include you.
Carry on.
its Not the great depression ..Its the great repossession
N, it's the Great Recall.
The System is being recalled, only they're not advertizing it as such. The money is fake. The "Dreams" are fake. That which never really existed can't be taken, can it?
Pay attention to what's real and protect That!
"Americans Are Being Prepared For Full Spectrum Tyranny"
I thought that started on 9/11/2001.
Indeed.
They are forever about to do something, but NEVER actually do it.
1913
This is the second time now that I've read Brandon Smith complain about violations of Posse Comitatus. I thought PC was amended in the 2007 NDAA to allow the deployment of U.S. troops on American soil forresponding to public emergencies:
Section 1076 "Use of the Armed Forces in major public emergencies" provides that:
The President may employ the armed forces... to... restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when, as a result of a natural disaster, epidemic, or other serious public health emergency, terrorist attack or incident, or other condition... the President determines that... domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of maintaining public order... or [to] suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy if such... a condition... so hinders the execution of the laws... that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law... or opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.
"...Though the St. Louis event is not isolated, I believe it does represent an escalation...."
another reason for the display of force against americans is to cover for another terrorist act. st louis would be an ideal spot for such an attack by the army or cia. america is a totalitarian state as bloody and ruthless as anything hitler, stalin, or mao envisioned.
as bloody and ruthless as anything hitler, stalin, or mao envisioned.
Please, do NOT cheapen this. That's a fully unneccessary and WRONG comparison.
Check this out:
http://terroronthetube.co.uk/2012/06/27/israeli-terror-threat-to-london-...
I also heard this guy on the radio telling his take on this situation. He is apparently an investigative journalist who is familiar with false flags. Do research on G4S. They are one creepy company!
So let me see if I have this right, the country that was started in theory because of tax, can now tax anything, everything and nothing? If you have it or if you don't have it? Yeah, that's pretty much Totalitarian.
When the Blood Games were shut down in Montana in '96 (after Waco), it was the threat of an armed rebellion that sent Louie Freeh home. Thank the 30K "tourists" that showed

Geepers folks, all the evidence presented proves my government is making me safer and safer. It's like I'm a kid again and dad is in the garage sharpening his machete muttering, "I'll be better off when your all dead." Gosh, I remember him telling us kids, "I ought to get my gun and put you six feet under!" Strong Dad. Powerful hairy Dad. Dad that smells sharply hormonal. There, there now, kids, relax: this won't take long at all. I suggest you don't get Dad mad though.
Hahahaha Tip toe around Dad and never know, when the next tirade will start. It brings back memories.
to me this conclusion has been clear for a very long time, I've been warning about it for about three years
Speaks for itself,

the tyranny you're concerned about will become apparent when this web-site gets shut down and contibutors don't answer their phones anymore. i'm curious to know how many out there think that will happen. i suppose anything is possible.
No, if that happens the authors will be neutralized. The site will remain online, but tone and message will subtly change over time until most of the original readers go off to other pursuits.
Nobody goes gestapo unless there is a reason to. Dissappeared just makes things noisy.
Rememeber the "M" word - militia? Those that could get national feed were trolls from ATF. This was pre-Internet.
Excellent article! Buy more guns and ammo. And slingshots, and bows & arrows ( i prefer a crossbow).
surest way to prevent war is not to fear it - John Randolph.
+1 No Fear Bichez!
big deal, just a show, i can blame buschli for it, President George W. Bush for appointing Chief Justice John Roberts, the man who ultimately swung the decision on Obamacare in liberals’ favor.
It's now or never. You have no choice, you must choose your side.
Speaking of terrorist goverments.the USA is responible for the spraying of chemicals into our atmosphere on a daily basis.
Today alone in a small area with no flight path for commericial airlines,there has been a constant spraying of chemtrails by USA Military jet tankers.
The USAGov. is the biggest terrorist organization in the world and needs to be stopped.
STOP FUCKING SPRAYING MY SKIES....!!!!!!
fuck you's USA Goverment terrorist.
Wake up people...!!!~!~
Look up...Way UP.... Those are NOT contrails.
Tell your friends and family.
It's time to act.
Get yourself some orgonite. A cloud buster. Gift them, leave them around your community. Helping others helps yourself. Cloud busters are not too difficult to make. They're not gonna stop so at least make where you live better.
Where do you get yours? Do you buy yours or make your own? Any reputable sources?
(They are also useful for other purposes besides busting chem-trails, as you know.)
Stop and think about it, this is one more step O said we needed.
A home security force as strong as our military....now that mechanism in place called dhs.
these alt-market essays are garbage. can you please stop posting them? they attempt, through words, to do the same things (dupe, divide, "Us vs Them" mentality) which they claim are being done to the US citizenry by the government.
I agree 100%!!! You tell 'em, Kandi!
There is no such thing as enemies, or despotical rulers. In fact, everything is just hunky-dorey for the common man. In fact, the REAL solution is to stand shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, and sing peaceful songs with our government compatriots and financial product reps. This will solve the whole problem. Unite for the common good, don't ya know?
I'm looking out my window on this cool and balmy summer day in TX and all I see is lollipop trees, rainbows, dancing ponies, and central bankers hugging and aiding homeless people everywhere!
Life is sooooooo sweet in the good ol' US of A. Thanks for putting all of these doomers in their place.
dark is the reality painted, darker is the absence of solution. We are in sunset land. Not in shining city on the hill.
if the financial deluge came, it would achieve something, it would destroy the perceived matrix. But what would succeed it? There are no other solutions here except survivalism of basic family units; no cement to bind them. Conundrum of after the deluge according to this post.
slaves might dream for such
Guns, ammo, food, and pm's.....Are you ready for the final solution!
Anyone live in South America? Been thinking about Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador, and Chile. I still think it is important to try and help others while one can. Those who have the ears to listen are worth telling. If someone does not want to hear it or refuses to acknowledge might as well never speak to them again. Those who are ready to leave at a moment's notice I think will be better off. I think the only way to make a real change happen is a global shift in consciousness, but it needs to happen on the individual level first. What is a young person to do? I wish my parents understood this shit. Oh well glad I'll be in a good place on the 4th. The dominator cultures use fear as a control mechanism. Skull and bones. Thought and action, but no heart no emotion. Cold blooded. tl;dr where 2 go from here?
The Last of the Masters by Philip K Dick
He had been watching the men three hours. Endless streams of them, pouring from the valley into the hills, along the roads and paths. On foot, in trucks, in cars, armored tanks, weapons carriers. Overhead, in fast little jetfighters and great lumbering bombers. Gleaming ships that took up positions above the troops and prepared for battle.
Battle in the grand style. The two-centuries-old full-scale war that was supposed to have disappeared. But here it was, a vision from the past. He had seen this in the old tapes and records, used in the camp orientation courses. A ghost army resurrected to fight again. A vast host of men and guns, prepared to fight and die.
Tolby climbed down cautiously. At the foot of a slope of boulders a soldier had halted his motorcycle and was setting up a communications antenna and transmitter. Tolby circled, crouched, expertly approached him. A blond-haired youth, fumbling nervously with the wires and relays, licking his lips uneasily, glancing up and grabbing for his rifle at every sound.
Tolby took a deep breath. The youth had turned his back; he was tracing a power circuit. It was now or never. With one stride Tolby stepped out, raised his pistol and fired. The clump of equipment and the soldier's rifle vanished.
"Don't make a sound," Tolby said. He peered around. No one had seen; the main line was half a mile to his right. The sun was setting. Great shadows were falling over the hills. The fields were rapidly fading from brown-green to a deep violet. "Put your hands up over your head, clasp them, and get down on your knees."
The youth tumbled down in a frightened heap. "What are you going to do?" He saw the ironite staff, and the color left his face. "You're a League agent!"
"Shut up," Tolby ordered. "First, outline your system of responsibility. Who's your superior?"
The youth stuttered forth what he knew. Tolby listened intently. He was satisfied. The usual monolithic structure. Exactly what he wanted.
"At the top," he broke in. "At the top of the pillar. Who has ultimate responsibility?"
"Bors."
"Bors!" Tolby scowled. "That doesn't sound like a name. Sounds like --" He broke off, staggered. "We should have guessed! An old government robot. Still functioning."
The youth saw his chance. He leaped up and darted frantically away.
Tolby shot him above the left ear. The youth pitched over on his face and lay still. Tolby hurried to him and quickly pulled off his dark gray uniform. It was too small for him of course. But the motorcycle was just right. He'd seen tapes of them; he'd wanted one since he was a child. A fast little motorcycle to propel his weight around. Now he had it.
Half an hour later he was roaring down a smooth, broad highway toward the center of the valley and the buildings that rose against the dark sky. His headlights cut into the blackness; he still wobbled from side to side, but for all practical purposes he had the hang of it. He increased speed; the road shot by, trees and fields, haystacks, stalled farm equipment. All traffic was going against him, troops hurrying to the front.
The front. Lemmings going out into the ocean to drown. A thousand, ten thousand, metal-clad figures, armed and alert. Weighted down with guns and bombs and flame throwers and bacteria pellets.
There was only one hitch. No army opposed them. A mistake had been made. It took two sides to make a war, and only one had been resurrected.
in dreamland perhaps. if and when a door to door gun grab goes down, it's Alamo time or NOT. I'm still taking it under advisement.
Lock n Load. That's all you got left. Remember how many the Bolsheviks killed.
The world will not go away (no need to run) when "one people ... dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another." The first revolution was fought and WON by 3% of the population - even with lots of local resistance (tories). We had a Republic, if we could keep her?
Many military these days are "militia" types - decent, family men and women. Wouldn't a temporary "WHITE HAT" military coup be preferable to restore the Constitution vs. being slaves to the central bankster mafia cartel? Wouldn't it all come out in the wash.
Hell, even Egypt is half way there (I know, bad example). After that, couldn't our SPECOPS go "handle" the foreign money changers?
There are essentially four boxes to support freedom: soap box, voting box, jury box and cartridge box. The bi-polar paradigms have dispensed the first three . . . just sayin

Your caricature/sn/id appears at about 4:11 or shortly thereafter.
"Unfortunately, the final truth is very complex, even for us… "
Actually, not.
There are as many little Hitlers behind the desks of small (local) govts as there are amongst the legions of worthless crones in Big Govt.
"All despotic systems have another distinct similarity; they each began with a series of trigger events.."
Again, not so.
If there were no trigger events the little Hitlers behind Govt desks have a job discription, which is where the problems begin. It is a monopoly authority over society, the political erection of a God in society
..and it is these little Hitlers jobs discription to order an ever less free society about ...year after year these little tossers feel it neccessary to add another layer of rules/legislation from their desks atop previous years of little Hitlers producing rules/legislation
why would anyone let a year go by without passing out another obnoxious rule for society to obey... it's in your job decription, you've got to be 'productive' behidn your desk and produce your defined God-like authority over society afterall
So zero trigger event, just the natural mundane course of a tragically designed job in the first place, designed to produce layer on layer of new oppressions every year until you strangle everything in red tape and truckloads of total tosser rules
"I believe the establishment is very well aware of a potential crisis event... they are preparing for this eventuality in a command and control fashion..."
You're saying they can forsee the colossal economic mess their parasitical sucking of productive wealth out of the economy? They can see the warehouse upon warehuìouse of red tape is strangling a free society??
...you really give these ignorant twats more IQ than they deserve. These Govt morons can't predict anything accurately or see anything coming. Fact.
They are set on a course even they can't predict, all they can see is the economy getting worse and are too thick to realise they (Govt) are the ones destroying it
Govt is ignorant. That is what monopolies make of people, ignorant controlling biggots (its in the job descrption silly).
Only competition brings out the brains and best in people. In Govt you can sit on your fat worthless arse and windbag all day long. All you do when you get it wrong is cover your arse with lots of snake oil
Govts entire job description is to head toward the cliff and never use the brakes. That's what history shows a hundred times over
There's one simple way of stopping the rot,
Stop Paying Your Taxes ...don't feed the lemmings
You, sir are naive:
"Govt is ignorant."
It took more than ignorance for our hijacked government to take down the twin towers. All this is by design my friend.
Tuco
international financial conquest as the war de jure
I side w/Tuco in this matter. Naive. Ignorant. By design. Obvious.
No fing doubt.
yup.
things are getting so dark so fast.
and most of you fools want to try the same ole strategy: vote and hope.
ahhhh, how's dat change workin out for you?
oh, well, maybe you just need to rejigger demonocracy.
maybe, just maybe, democracy is the true opiate of the people...it does have a way of making people think they have some power.
let me alert you all to a FACT: your power is long since gone...we are only in the final phases of a longer process called 'incrementalism'...like boilin a mutha fuckin frog. power LUVS hard-boiled frog legs.

Doctor My Eyes - Jackson Browne
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where there will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what you see
I hear their cries
Just say if it's too late for me
Doctor, my eyes
Cannot see the sky
Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry
make no mistake about it...there will be widespread discontent and it will all be the result of failed economic theory and inept political policy
