If instead of playing along and doing what we are told, we change ourselves from the ignorant, jaded, lazy patsies that they have made us into the
people that we think we are, that we wish we were, then we could redefine the rules of the game ourselves and make something happen, instead of just
reacting to the situations that they present to us. If all the lunch-money givers got together and followed that bully home from school one day and
knocked the living # out of him, just once, then the whole playground dynamic changes.
Now that is an over-0simplified analogy, to be sure, but the principle still holds. The truth is that there is no such thing as a soveriegn
government. Sovereignty lies iwth the People, and it is inherent in their nature as bestowed by their creator, and as such, it can be given, sold, or
bartered away. As a government by the people, for the people, the government of the United States has but one function: to ensure that the rights of
the sovereign are not diminished. It has no inherent rights or sovereignty of its own. It cannot dictate that we be slaves or even order us to fight
in its illegal wars--that we choose to do, often for misguided reasons informed by widespread disinformation, but it is still our choice, and
ultimately, no one else is responsible but each of us.
The only thing we can do is change the only person who is rightfully and completely under our control: ourselves. We can deny ignorance, but only
after we define what our own ignorance is--not by emotionally reacting to what we perceive as the ignorance of others, which merely entrenches our own
ignorance even more deeply. We need to take responisbility for ourselves regardless of the expoectation of reactions from those around us. And we
need to understand what our true situation is.
All of us, every man woman and child in America, regardless of what possessions we have, or how much money we think we make, are bankrupt. Anyone who
uses Federal Reserve Notes as "legal tender" owns nothing and has nothing but compliance with a contract that requires them, and thier children, and
their children's children, to remain slaves to the false coporate masters who have eradicated real government from these United States and replaces
it with what can only be described as organized crime. We are told from cradle to grave to be subservient to those who are our betters--our parents,
our teachers, our bosses, our "elected" officials, to the police, to the military, to the government offices that are occuped by bad actors. Does
that sound like the "land of the free and the home of the brave" to you? Yet if you look at the truth, all those individuals are supposed to be our
servants, are supposed to enable us to become the good and just people that we want to believe that we are.
So yes, the answer is perhaps to attack our own paychecks. Because those little slips of paper that we believe enable us to be all that we can be are
the biggest lie in the world of lies that we live in. It may very well be that the first step to regaining our self-respect and taking back the
freedom that we have been swindled out of is to tank the US and world economies, because there is really no other way to break the death-grip of debt
that the world bankers have on us.
What could they do, if all Americans called a general strike? If starting tomorrow, no one showed up at their "job" and refused to "pay" their
rent, their mortgage, their car payments? And then, in the 30 to 90 days before we lost our electrical power, our internet connections, our phone
service, and our homes, made an earnest effort to reeducate themselves about what life is supposed to be about, which is self-reliance tempered by
compassion for one's fellows? Couldn't we consciously rebuild our economy by helping each other in that time?
