Maybe everyone is waiting for someone to start the Revolution

You are pretty close to the truth. The FBI and CIA have agents undercover in the militia groups. However, this time its not to stop them its to make sure they have armed rebellion and may in fact be leaders making them think that they are "pro-fight for rights types". The formation for rebellion would justify declaring martial law. The same operations was used in Red Square, the planned millitary coup of 1933 to be lead by Major General Smedley Butler but he blew the whistle in 1934-1935......The next two planned military coups would be in 1960 to 1963 and third 1972........with Nixon and the US Marines......General Cushman. Interesting story. Google North American Union, Brzezinski and the formation of Mujhadeen and Al Qaeda, Obama's assistant.....are connected in interesting days. Trilateral commission......The truth of all this is mind boggling set conspiracy that is true. the evidence is in fact irrefutable.

Yes if something happen the militia will be the first ones they plan to take out. I'm also sure they could use them to help start something I know their ready.

The problem with the revolution is that it has to have stated and agreed upon goals. What goals are those?

For me, it would be a return to a constitutional federal government. It would be a return to a government that governs least, governs best. It would involve the repeal of the 16th and the 17th amendments. The return of powers to the individual states and/or the people.

What about you? What about everyone else? We have a LOT of pinks and reds these days that love the Nanny State. These cradle-to-grave statists have no desire to return to self-government. Hell, when was the last time you heard anything negative of Communism in the MSM? Ask a high-schooler you know what they are being taught about collectivism. It's being taught. Not as a bad thing, but as a good thing.

If you decided to do "something", how would you let your intentions be known? Anything violent would be branded terrorism and all the haus fraus would be lining up to demand that somebody needs to do something to stop this! How do you get Joe and Jane Plumber to understand that actions taken against the State aren't actions taken against them or their families? How do you get them to understand that you are doing what you are in order to help them?

Americans are divided along so many lines that unity is almost impossible. Black vs. White. Gay vs. Straight. Republican vs. Democrat. The list goes on forever. This was done intentionally to prevent exactly what we are discussing. With total control of the MSM and all of the stigmatism surrounding gun nuts and right-wing wackos, the elite has ensured that we are incapable of organized resistance. The threat of the IRS be used against us is real and life-ending.

This isn't Romania (no slight intended). We have 300 million people living here. We have racial, secular, geographic and economic divisions here that will prevent any unification efforts. The best case scenario would be regional States formed after the fall with the big city dwellers taking the brunt of hit. We rely on the State too much for it to fail without causing untold misery for but a few of us.

I got a little long-winded but the answer to the question is I don't know. It will have to get a lot worse, before it gets better. We'll all be Chinese if there is major unrest in the US anyway. They have waited decades for their opportunity and they have the means to accomplish it. Besides that, the Chicoms don't give a crap about the NWO. They have their own. IT's called Communism.

My 2 cents.

dontreadonme,

Eric

Eric,

There is nothing I can add to this except maybe a little historical background. You said it all very Succinctly and explicit. I will share a little know quote from a famous traitor and instigator in his time to this effort.......FDR From my research and several books references with the quotes:

March 4, 1939 - Quote from a report of the secret committee by President Roosevelt,;

“I am making no concessions to business, or for relief. I have a military machine sufficient to stop any organized revolt. I am putting MY PEOPLE ahead of all instruments. I’ll have had a full understanding with Chamberlain, and we will destroy this unemployed condition with a WAR, and a WAR only. To Hell with the American people, as far as a Democracy is concerned. It does not exist. It never did, and we will never let it happen that way. I am going to crush business, infest America with all the aliens possible, and in the last analysis, declare Martial Law, and confiscate everything I need for a true and forceful Dictatorship. My New Deal is a failure, and I know it, but no one else will tell me that I must discontinue my present activities, and program.”


From the Secret Audience with the Military Appropriation Committee; The Ways and Means Committee; The Special War Finance Committee; and

"This copy was presented to me by mail through Senator Lundeen.” “The Red Fog Over America” by William Guy Carr, 1955.

The fact that FDR’s New Deal, his NRA, and other political policies and economic devices fitted perfectly into the “Long Range Plans”, of the Illuminati proved the continuity of the conspiracy from 1841 to 1945. It has been explained that Roosevelt made known his secret plans to establish a dictatorship in American in March 1939 when he gave a secret audience to some of his governments special committee. It has also been mentioned that Roosevelt was kept a virtual prisoner from after Yalta until his death presumably to prevent him telling the truth in the event his conscience troubled him when he realized that he was about to meet his maker.

In 1841 Clinton Roosevelt [ancestor to FDR] published in America “The Science of Government Founded on Natural Laws”, This was nothing more than a plagiarized version of the teachings of Professor Adam Weishaupt of Frankfort University, Germany, the renegade Jesuit priest, who arranged for the agenteur of the Illuminati to infiltrate into French Freemasonary in 1776 so “The Secret Power” which directed the World Revolutionary Movement, and the Conspiracy of Satan, at that time could use Freemasonsary to further their secret plans and ambitious and at the same time cloak their diabolitical purpose. American Freemasons would be shocked to know that the Continental Masonry and the Illuminati were formally wedded in July 1782. The Congress of Wilhelmsbad put all members under an oath to never discuss the proceedings. However, one honest Freemason, the Comte de Virieu, said in his biography that he had bought back, quote, "tragic secrets I will not confide them to you. I can only tell you that all this is very much more serious than you think. The conspiracy which is being woven is so well thought out that it will be .....impossible for the Monarchy and the Church to escape it." From that point on according to his Biographer, M. Costa de Beaureguard, "the Comte de Virieu could only speak of Freemasonry with horror". In 1782, the Headquarters of illuminized Freemasonry was moved to Frankfurt, the stronghold of German finance, and controlled by the Rothschilds. FOR THE FIRST TIME, Jews were admitted into the Order. Previously, Jews had only been admitted to a division of the Order called, "the small and constant Sanhedrin of Europe."

The facts show that the Illuminati and its lower house, Masonry, was a secret society within a secret society. The outer doctrine, for the consumption of the masses, said illuminism was merely a "Perfected form of Christianity while the inner doctrine called for world conquest by any means, with Atheism or outright Satanism as its real creed. John Robison summed up the goals of Illuminism quite prophetically almost 200 years ago when he wrote, I quote,

"Their first and immediate aim is to get the possession of riches, power, and influence, without industry [i.e. without working for it], and to accomplish this, they want to abolish Christianity, and then....universal profligacy will procure them the adherence of all the wicked and enable them to overturn all the civil governments of Europe after which they will think of further conquests and extend their operations to the other quarters of the globe."

NESTA WEBSTER: did not exaggerate when she said of the Illuminati.

"It is by this terrible and formidable sect that the gigantic plan of World Revolution was worked out under the leadership of the man whom Louis Blanc [the radical Socialist who helped lead the 1848 French Revolution], has truly described as "the profoundest conspirator [the Illuminati] that has ever existed."

New World Order, The Ancient Plan of Secret Societies by William T. Still, 1990.

I've said many times to those I've written too, that the Illuminati are a group of families that have made a pact with Satan to carry this out to its fruition of having the whole world on a one government, religious order. They are 13 families, as I can name them, Astor, Bundy, Collins, DuPont, Freeman, Kennedy, Li, Onassis, Reynolds, Rockefeller, Rothschild, Russell, Van Duyn, Merovingian (European Royal Families), Top 13 Families & Mormon Leadership, (Moriah & Mormon Leadership); Interconnected families include Disney, Krupp, and McDonald.

That government is now, and that religion is the New Age Movement. The New Age Movement is in fact the Oprah beliefs, the beliefs that there are many ways to get to Heaven and not just one through the Saving grace of Jesus Christ. Those that have fallen away fairly recently, are Copeland, Hagee, Billy Graham, Robert Shueller, TD Jakes, Braizer, Paisley, Joel Osteen, Hagin, Benny Hinn, the list is getting longer.

You described exactly what their intended objectives have been from the start.

1841 - Clinton Roosevelt published in America “The Science of Government Founded on Natural Laws”, This was nothing more than a plagiarized version of the teachings of Professor Adam Weishaupt of Frankfort University, Germany, the renegade Jesuit priest who arranged for the agenteur of the Illuminati to infiltrate into French Freemasonry in 1776 so “The Secret Power” which directed the World Revolutionary Movement, and the Conspiracy of Satan, at that time could use Freemasonry to further their secret plans and ambitious and at the same time cloak their diabolitical purpose. Karl Marx copied this document to take credit for the Communist Manifesto. As a result the communist movement with the Bosheviks in the early 1900’s was financed by Wall Street, specifically the same family line that designed the communist movement here in the United States, While Karl Ritter was writing the Anti-thesis in Germany called Nazism and facism.

In addition, while Karl Marx was writing the "Communist Manifesto" under the director of one group of Illuminists, Professor Karl Ritter of Frankfurt University was writing the antithesis under the direction of another group.
The idea was that those who direct the overall conspiracy could use the differences in those two so-called ideologies to enable them to divide larger and larger members of the human race into opposing camps so that they could be armed and then brainwashed into fighting and destroying each other. And particularly, to destroy all political and religious institutions.

The work Ritter started was continued after his death and completed by the German so-called philosopher Freidrich Wilhelm Nietzache who founded Nietzscheanism. This Nietzecheanism was later developed into Fascism and then into Nazism and was used to foment World War I and II.
NOTE: In the United States we had Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Jack Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Dean Rusk, Robert McNamara, William Fulbright, George Bush etc., as prime examples. In addition, while Karl Marx was writing the "Communist Manifesto" under the director of one group of Illuminists, Professor Karl Ritter of Frankfurt University was writing the antithesis under the direction of another group.

The idea was that those who direct the overall conspiracy could use the differences in those two so-called ideologies to enable them to divide larger and larger members of the human race into opposing camps so that they could be armed and then brainwashed into fighting and destroying each other. And particularly, to destroy all political and religious institutions.

Now comes the solution, actually the only solution. I took my research a step further. The past events, the current events are going according to the Biblical prophesy exactly. I also found that the Illuminati families dedicate their children to Satan/Lucifer in their behind the doors secrets. This entire conspiracy is in fact, Luciferian/Satanic. It is supernatural for Satan to carry out is plans of a world order lead by a Satanic leader. It is now in its final planning phases. Thoughout history there has been these claims but made by self proclaimed "prophets" that did not know that certain prophesies in the Bible had to happen first. Well, all save one has happened. The fact is this conspiracy cannot be stopped because its in the end times prophesy. The elite and the Illuminati will lose but not without a lot of bloodshed in the middle. The powers that be, have tried their best to discredit the Bible and to the point of making many distorted translations that subvert the true word of God found in the King James Version. This is the only true word of God no matter what rumors or history belongs to King James himself, the letters were translated not with an design but word for word in the Hebrew and Greek tranlations finished in 1611. The Gnostics does not belong there as they are made up or simple historical accounts and nothing to do with Gods word. The unearthed new "gospels" are designed by anti-Jesus groups to mislead. They were not done by Thomas or Mary as claimed. The church took control and has made up their own doctrine and at the same time claiming its from Gods word and it's not. They lie.

Their real goal and objective that many don't know about especially atheist...

August 15, 1871 - Now, can any thinking person doubt that the intrigue now going on in the near Middle and far East is designed to accomplish that satanic objective? Albert Pike himself foretold all this in a statement he made to Mazzini. Pike stated that after World War III is ended; those who will aspire to undisputed world domination will provoke the greatest social cataclysm the world has ever known. Quoting his [Albert Pike] own words taken from the letter he wrote to Mazzini and which letter is now catalogued in the British Museum in London, England; he said:

"We shall unleash the nihilists and the atheists and we shall provoke a great social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to all nations the effect of absolute atheism; the origins of savagery and of most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the people will be forced to defend themselves against the world minority of the world revolutionaries and will exterminate those destroyers of civilization and the multitudes disillusioned with Christianity whose spirits will be from that moment without direction and leadership and anxious for an ideal, but without knowledge where to send its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer brought finally out into public view. A manifestation which will result from a general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and Atheism; both ! conquered and exterminated at the same time."

You see, the most interesting part of this is that Christians, Muslims, Buddiest, Atheist, and all the others actually have the same enemy and they don't know it.............

WWI, WWII, and coming WWIII was planned between 1850 to 1871 in its conceptional form. The following generations adapted the forces, the technology, the cultural status Quo, to fit the general objectives using organizations and think tanks, [CFR, Bilderbergers, Trilateral commission, Roundtable groups, masons, et al] to accomplish this object

That is right address to contact congress, missing http:// I don't know why but everytime I put one of those in it comes up different.
I just e-mail all of congress the presdent , vice presdent and told them ATS is taking over world, not really told them something less dramatic.
Here I'll try again.

www.wanttoknow.info...

I totally agree that an armed revolt only plays into their hands and that is what they want us to do

I have said before all they understand is contracts ,so we need a contract they can understand .

reply to post by Unit541


Glad to see you mention NSPD-51 otherwise known as
Directive 51.

I think this video sums up what they have in mind for us:

Directive 51 - FEMA - KBR Halliburton

They do not want the public to know they plan on suspending
the constitution, and what will come after that.

But as you will see them say, that is where we are headed,
and why I have ZERO plans to fight them.

The sheep will be sheared, and I will be hiding far from an major city
til after the dust settles.

Good Luck to you all !

Wow! so, not many have started much of anything yet? I have started the revolution following after the fashion of other successful revolutionaries like Jesus, Gandhi, our founding fathers, etc. Taking responsibility for one's own life is the only successful revolutions that have taken place throughout history. Sad to see that few have begun the journey and are looking to others outside themselves to begin their revolution.

Recently some very bold ppl have gone before the senate and
made it very clear that a 2nd revolution is coming if the ppl
in DC do not start practicing representative government.

I think this is very risky for them, and they tried to bait them
into making a terrorist statement.

I'd look for them to be harrassed soon, at a minimum.

Joining a public militia at this point is like painting a target on your
forehead for the coming storm.

Your best bet is to gather all the ppl you know in your local area
and think of a few good fall back locations away from major cities.

Once the power goes, and the food trucks stop showing up,
civilization is but a thin facade.

That was very intersting with J J Johnson, but this still goes to show, they acted like it was only his small group say this.
If everyone starts to contact congress, and are swamped them, by this they might relize the people are waking up. With all there is in world, it is only greed and there bungling, that has put us in this situation.
I still say contact congress, get the word out tell everyone to contact congress.
www.wanttoknow.info...

And buy more guns and bullets.

I honestly do not think that ATS is the proper forum for discussing revolution, even hypothetically. The only thing that talk like that will do is get ATS/BTS shut down for being a "subversive threat" to the powers that be. Others may disagree with my assessment, and thats okay. I am only stating one possible outcome to all this talk of revolution on this great website that we are all a part of.

reply to post by Wally Conley


Should read Ex Governer Jesse Venturas book ( Don't Start the Revolution with out me ). Things don't look good from where I'm at Detroit, but if you read the thread J J Johnson was just in front of congress, telling it like it is. The Constitution was not writen to be taken away from us, wait till you have no rights, except right to shut up.

Write congress become part of the solution.
www.wanttoknow.info...

To be fair, that clip of JJ Johnson was done in 1995, shortly after the OK City Federal Building was bombed. So, it's been a good while since it happened. It's no where near recent.

According to this site, amongst others, including the google video, this was done on June 15th, 1995.

For the record.

While it doesn't hurt to express our opinions to Congress, I don't believe that will change anything fundamentally. Prior to the bailout vote, emails and calls to Congress were flooding in and on some days were 1,000 to 1 against the bailout. Did it make any difference in the end? NO. IMHO Congress missed their window of opportunity to stop this slid towards fascism when they passed the Homeland Security and Patriot Acts.

With regards to various posts that peaceful protest is the answer and that acts of violence are what the PTB wants to justify Martial Law, my answer is this. Police States prefer peaceful protests. It's so much easier to kill the protesters if they can't shoot back. Even if the militia groups are infiltrated, laying down and letting the PTB disarm everyone without so much as a wimper is NOT the answer.

I've expressed this opinion before. If you believe, as I do, that Martial Law is coming no matter what we do, then where is the advantage of doing nothing? I don't believe that the PTB really fears militia groups. I think they fear National Guard units and units of the regular Army turning against them. Guard and Army units are made up of our friends, neighbors and family members. They are the ones that we need to reach out to, inform and win over. Don't try to convince them of the Illiminati and the NWO, just plead with them to promise not to obey any orders that violate citizen's Contstitutional rights including the right to life ie. make them promise to shoot any son of *snip* that orders them to fire on their friends, neighbors, family or any unarmed civilians. If we can do that, the PTB may back off from declaring Martial Law and then peaceful protest may actually have a chance to make a diffference.

Thanks for info, this is old news, kind of funny thou if was saying this back then what the heck is going on now. I tried to find out the date of J J Johnson, on net thought it was mid 2008. I will say this much , I'm in Detroit and some of the peoples want a roit, and could give a good poop about Obama.
This is a bunch of crap, it's a wonder those in Washington can wipe there own ass, with all their brains and laws for everything, it does not work.
Like Johnson said it needs to get back to common law real simple.
If Johnson was saying this back in 95, everyone I speak to now is feed up, even the little old lady in doctors office.
The Government is not doing anything to comfort, the people.
I think we have lost about 70 people Americans to terrorist in 2008, compared to about 100,000 deaths due to bad drugs Big Pharm, and you can't doing anything to Big Pharm. I wonder if you can still sue a terrorist.

Letters or phone calls are better than E-mails. The thing is to get word out people still don't have a clue.

If it comes down to bullets so be it.

They are counting on an armed revolution. This will be the fourth planned military coup in the US that never made the history books. They were in 1933-1934; 1960-1963; and 1970-1972 time frame. If they can provoke a race war or armed revolution they can declare a national disaster and martial law pitting one group of US patriots against a battle hardened groups of patriots. To supplement the battle hardened US Patriots that are fooled, will be 500,000 to 1,000,000 UN and Russian troops that are already stationed here in the US in many of the closed and rebuilt bases. Russians are in Verz cruz, Vensuela, Cuba and Alaska. Subs are stationed off the east and west coast.........they are planning on a coup. also many cities will be hit with a bird flu pandemic.........

reply to post by ConfederateAdam

SORRY as of September of this year it is illegal to protest in Washington DC anymore. The Ron Paul Freedom Rally was the last Washington DC protest allowed.

That and

With no warning, a significant military agreement was signed by the chief Armed Forces commanders of both the U.S.A. and Canada on Feb. 14. The agreement allows the armed forces from one nation to support the armed forces of the other nation during a domestic civil emergency. “ Source: stopspp.com...

AND the repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act Allowing the use of US military within the us against citizens of the United States.

Two hundred years of tradition along with the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act prohibit using federal and National Guard troops for law enforcement inside the country except as allowed by the Constitution or authorized by Congress in times of a national emergency like an insurrection. BUSH HAS set these traditions and laws aside.


"Section 1076 of the massive Authorization Act, which grants the Pentagon another $500-plus-billion for its ill-advised adventures, is entitled, "Use of the Armed Forces in Major Public Emergencies." Section 333, "Major public emergencies; interference with State and Federal law" states that "the President may employ the armed forces, including the National Guard in Federal service, 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 in any State or possession of the United States, the President determines that domestic violence has occurred to such an extent that the constituted authorities of the State or possession are incapable of ("refuse" or "fail" in) maintaining public order, "in order to suppress, in any State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy."

Public Law 109-364, or the "John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007" (H.R.5122) (2), which was signed by the commander in chief on October 17th, 2006, in a private Oval Office ceremony, allows the President to declare a "public emergency" and station troops anywhere in America and take control of state-based National Guard units, which have always been under the purview of the state governors, without the consent of the governor or local authorities, in order to "suppress public disorder."

The new law authorizes a direct role for the Pentagon including use and transfer of state-of-the-art crowd control weapons and technology to state and local responders. It's intended to militarize them and blur the distinction between those from the Pentagon and local law enforcement agencies - very ominous and clear police state tactical readiness

www.netctr.com...

Bush has also recently stationed troops stateside for use it the USA. So yes i think they crooks in DC are planning something.

I have tried to step back and look at this from every angle, and can only come up with one solution that doesn't involve an armed revolution which would include untold civilian casualties.

I am not saying that an armed revolution can not or will not happen, and I am not saying that I am against such a thing, if push comes to shove I will gladly be one of the first people in the streets. With that being said, the only way (I can see) that this can be done without ridiculous ammounts of bloodshed is for our armed forces to begin it.
What we really need is for some military brass to say 'enough is enough' and seize the government and return it back to the people. I have tried to poke holes in my own theory and find the mistakes in my own logic and I can't, so please feel free to correct me if you can.

Here is why I believe this.
Any way you look at it, nothing else can produce an effective end result without massive bloodshed.
We could try to vote out the corrupt leadership but I think we all know that the real 'puppetmasters' aren't in positions they could be voted out of. We could inundate Washington with letters and phonecalls demanding that things change, but they would only change enough to get most people to settle back into their comfortable lives.
What you are witnessing is 'boiling frog syndrome' at it's finest. They know damn well that if they turn the heat up too fast we'll jump out of the pot and burn this mutha down, so they won't be that naïve.

It may be presumptuous of me to think that our armed forces would ever do such a thing, but I hope, and I pray that they will 'see the light' and come to their senses and realize that they are being used as instruments of oppression on a global scale. I can only hope that the day will come when some military brass will finally say no more, not in my name, or my countries name any longer. They are our last, best hope for a full revolution, a full dismantling of this diseased bloated monster that was once the greatest nation the world had ever seen.

The corruption that grips this nation should be looked at like a virus or like cancer, you can't treat the symptoms and you can't cure 'parts' of the disease. It must be completely removed and a new one must be formed, anything less would be an exercise in futility, and would only land us back in the same spot we are in now, at some later point in time.

What was once a shining beacon of hope to millions, if not billions, has become a festering sore on the posterior of mankind. Our only hope is that military brass at the highest levels finally come to the same conclusion and decide that they want their children and grandchildren to have a place to call home that they can be proud of, instead of having to hang their heads in shame and claim to be canadian anytime they go on vacation outside of the continental U.S.

And yes we would need to make changes to the constitution so that our elected officials couldn't subvert it and/or write new legislation that would render it useless as the patriot act has done to portions of it.

Yes my rant is over, flame away...

Here is the full versions (or the closest thing I could find to full versions) of the above Senate Subcommittee on Terrorism from '95.

Google Video Link

Google Video Link

I had to throw this quote in, I love this...

While some may say that the right to keep and bear arms is granted to americans by the constitution, just the opposite is true. The federal government itself is the child of the armed citizen, we the people are the parent of the child we call government. You senators are part of the child that we the people gave life to. The increasing ammount of federal encroachment into our lives indicates the need for parental corrective action. In short the federal government needs a good spanking to make it behave. One other important point needs to be made, since the constitution is the limiting document upon the government, the government cannot become greater than the granting power. That is, the searvant cannot become greater than it's master. Therefore should the chief executive or other branch of government, or all branches together act to suspend the constitution under a rule of martial law, all power granted to government would be cancelled and defer back to the granting power, that is the people. Martial law shall not be possible in this country as long as the people recognize the bill of rights as inalienable. - Norman Olson

I find it amazing that something like this didn't happen after 9/11, and if it did and I just haven't found it, someone please bring it to my attention.

How can you say that he will represent the middle class???? The man is a socialist & is all for taking from the hard working middle class and filter it into the lower class to reward them for sitting on their asses. I am in the middle class and I have gotten hurt twice working and went back to work each time only to wreck more havoc on my back because I have the will to work unlike a majority of the lower class who continue to milk the system at the benefit of hard working American middle class members like myself who literally break their asses. I had to continue to work because SSD shot me down. I have 11 herniated discs throughout my back & neck and need a knee replaced at 41, yet a person with 1 herniation can get SSD because they are in the lower class. The middle class gets skrewed time and time again while the upper class which btw, Obama is from gets to do as they please & the lower class continue to get richer off the middle class! When is this gonna end?
