Hats off to Ron Paul. From within the system he has striven to make things go right. He preaches the Constitution, does everything he can to get folks to abide by it, works to restrain or remove anything in government which is not in accordance with it, and shows in every way possible the whole thing is so utterly broke, it can’t be fixed.
During the election, the party apparatchiks pulled every possible crime — I saw reports at least one of his delegates was murdered — to prevent him having a fair shot at the nomination. If you still support Republicans, you are no better than a communist thug. We already know Democrats are avowed communists, they just don’t call it that. So we have a complete and utter coup from within, and few people notice. Think about it for just a moment: How utterly shameless are the powerful insisting they do nothing wrong; they won’t even admit it’s possible they’ve done wrong.
Still, the mere fact Ron Paul keeps trying, and it keeps failing so splendidly, shows it can’t be fixed. It’s all the proof anyone needs. Once you accept that, you realize several things are possible, and some quite likely.
- There will be an attempt to dissolve any semblance of national sovereignty, surrendering us to some global governing authority.
- There will be a matching attempt to dissolve the nation into individual states and sections, wresting sovereignty back down to a smaller level.
- Police agencies refusing to abide by sane limits will provoke increasing armed resistance from very ordinary people. The entire facade of protecting the public will be ripped away in naked oppression. We are already seeing this some, particularly in major urban centers.
- Anyone actually capable of changing things for the better will be marginalized, silenced, and if necessary, murdered, to prevent the current ruling elite from losing their franchise.
- There will be major armed revolts in scattered places, with serious loss of life among government officials and law enforcement.
- Government officials and their friends in corporations will work together more and more in the most egregious farcical schemes to take all we’ve got.
- There is a very high likelihood of military mutinies, and some stand to succeed in some measure.
The point is, we have gone past the safety line. There is no going back, and no amount of reform will stop the momentum. At every level (though not quite yet in every place), government has become the biggest threat to life, liberty and property. In a broad sense, your government is the only real terrorist organization you have to worry about.
I’m making preparations to avoid being sucked into this mess. My commitment is to remain aloof from the very public folly, since human government has never been good or right for more than a few seconds at a time. The only way to live sanely in this world is to cling to a higher plane. Don’t take this madness too seriously.
