Breaking Our Chains!

January 21, 2003

Americans tend to 'believe' that we need to 'fix' everything in our lives. Once we've discovered that something major has gone wrong; in this case it's not 'something' - it's 'everything' that has gone wrong. Briefly then it is now clear that we are too late. Too late for the traditional methods of approach to work; too late to appeal to the private consciences of those involved - too late to appeal to the Department of Justice; too late to appeal for help in the voting booth. Since the fix is now complete, we must look elsewhere for relief from these new chains that are finally becoming visible - and we must learn to deal with the newly forged shackles that it has become our lot to wear.

How to do this? This could be the key to everything. First, we must realize the actual extent and nature of the prisons that are being constructed especially for us. Because these prisons don't yet have walls - only because they are not yet completed -there is still a little time for all of us to begin to adjust to the new realities, before the actuality of our failures catch up with the facts.

The next thing we need to understand is that in this instance we may have lost the ability to rely upon any of our traditional ways of approaching this problem. This is very difficult, but dealing with this situation is critically important if we are ever to resolve this struggle in the way we want it to end - with a return to freedom and democracy, for people everywhere.

And finally we must all remember that the most potent weapon we have is their greed and their arrogance. This is pivotal because those two factors can never stop growing. Those who Bushwacked America and the world, will eventually destroy themselves. Our job is to see to it that these neo-fascist-corporatists don't also take the rest of the planet with them when they finally succumb to their own implosion.

The most fascinating thing about all criminal conspiracies is that they cannot succeed, and even those at the very top of those conspiracies know this for a fact. We need only remember that human life and all it's facets rely on trust to succeed. And Trust is the one thing that this new breed of global pirates can never enjoy. By their very nature these individuals cannot ever truly trust anyone - and many of them know that they cannot even trust themselves - much less any of those whom they have co-opted to serve them in this corrupted cause. So the enemy is made up of an army of petty failures - each distrustful of all the rest - each only waiting for the moment when one of their own will find a way to 'bring them down' - there is no question in the proposition - it's only a matter of time. Everyone knows that they personally carry secrets that could be used to undo them - and so there can be 'no honor among thieves.' And because this is so true (because they all know that this is an incontrovertible fact) no one can take any pleasure from their current position in being part of the conspiracy; because everyone realizes their own personal vulnerability to the same envy, greed, and fear - that each one of them knows that they've been guilty of creating, for all the rest of us to bear. So the question within the enemy camp is NOT about when they will triumph - no the question for every one of them is WHEN will they personally be discovered, denounced, or killed. And that fact - is what will guarantee the failure of this treachery!

But we must do our part to help them with their little problem. We must NOT capitulate to fear; we must refuse to buy into paranoia; and above all we must begin to call everything as it actually is. There is no national media - there is only national propaganda that serves only the special interests of our would-be conquerors - those whose only purpose is to steal whatever might be left of this nation and its people.

If all of us oppose the thugs, in unison, there won't be enough guards to even begin to arrest everyone - much less detain the whole population. But if we fail to choose between our toys and our freedoms - then we have chosen the same path as all our 'representatives' who chose to sell their souls, when they simply looked the other way while The Supreme Court broke the Constitutional prohibition on the Separation of Powers - and put Bush in Office, in direct contravention of the Constitutional proscription against just such an act.

We must stop playing the part of 'good children' to the national symbols of 'good leadership' because all the agreements between the government and the people have been shattered, broken, or stolen. There is NOTHING left of the trust between this government and the people. There is no longer any part of that contract between the government and "the consent of the governed" - that forms any continued basis for the legitimacy of this government to rule over the people of this nation.

What we must do is not submit ourselves to tyranny. We must resist in every way possible, remembering that no deed is too small to matter, no act too small to count. And in this process we must bring ourselves to this confrontation in every way that we can, for as long as we can. And knowing that this illegal regime (USA Incorporated) will soon meet with extreme resistance in their new war upon the whole earth and all the freedoms and resources that reside here.

Just as there can be no more hiding - because the whole world is now within range of the watchful lenses on the satellites - so too there can be no more negotiations with the enemy, no more partial bargains with the man.

People will again have to become responsible for their own actions - and each of us will succeed or fail according to whatever decision each of us chooses to make. Survival is possible, but if that survival is to surpass mere existence - then we must stop pretending that nothing has changed. EVERYTHING has changed, and where we will go from here is literally up to us - to decide for ourselves.

When the US finally and formally becomes the clear aggressor in the Middle East; for the entire world to see and know - then their efforts in the world will begin to meet with extreme prejudice from people and places that this bunch of criminals doesn't even know exist. This stunt (taking over the world) - has been tried many times before - it is simply too vast an undertaking for any one nation or any group of people (no matter how well armed) to even attempt - much less succeed at.

We must survive until the day when these people shall go the way of all other barbaric outlaw cultures. These creatures will destroy each other - and we will need to persevere so that some of those who are left to pick up the pieces of this colossal failure, will remember (once again) how important it is that individual people are able to live authentic lives and that those who survive are free to choose to make all their most important decisions for themselves.

I have to believe that we can beat this nightmare - not with hope, not with petitions of conscience, and not with votes: But with our will to survive, coupled with a passion for knowledge and the unquenchable thirst to again breathe the air of a free people: All of which I believe can be greatly furthered by a public that has come to realize the actual conditions of the bargains that we've each individually made with this outrageous enemy.

Choosing another paradigm: When the political waters are swarming with sharks; and when the first shark suffers the tiniest of wounds, he becomes instantly vulnerable; and it is then that all the other sharks begin to tear him to shreds until the waters roil with the blood of one of their own.

Some have suggested plans of what we could do for a quick win:

"A PEACEFUL, GENERAL, WORLDWIDE SIT-DOWN STRIKE UNTIL HOSTILITIES CEASE -- ALL RAILROADS, TRUCKING COMPANIES, BUSES AND OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION BLOCKADED AS WELL AS MILITARY BASES."

This is precisely THE problem. This 'fix' didn't happen overnight, which is why the 'solution' is going to be so very difficult to reach. The scenario we must now confront (in the USA) was begun by Rockefeller way back around the turn of the 20th century. That was when plans were begun to dumb down the schools, remove imagination from the curriculum, and quiet down the individualistic streak that became so renown around the world - as being uniquely American.

The rush to colleges after WWII screwed up their plan somewhat; but the insiders soon shifted over to 'molding the corporate image of the man in the gray-flannel suit.' The original goal had been to mold people at the bottom into becoming wage-slaves, but since so many ex-GI's had chosen to go to college - their emphasis had to shift toward re-shaping college graduates instead of peasants. It might be well to bear in mind that this only took roughly 30 years or so - to completely destroy personal associations and re-configure the actual point of living, in the lives of an awful lot of key politicians, as well as a lot of regular people. So that by the early 1980's Americans had begun to worship GREED over all else.

This little trick began the mind-set for the 1950's spending binge; a glut of purchasing that led the children of those families into their own minor rebellion of the 1960's. However it seems that no one associated with that era learned very much. The dominance being sought over corporate executives began to spin outward - making the willingness of an individual corporate employee to move anywhere (to keep his or her job) the ultimate litmus test for corporate loyalty. Thus began the destruction of family life and neighborhood character - which insured the breakdowns of many of our real values - at least all of those values that live very close to other people and to communities. Remember the 'prize' for all this dislocation and sacrifice was only a little more money. And the trade-offs involved everything that makes life worth the effort (laughter, love, friendships, purpose - all the human stuff).

Americans have become guinea pigs in a vast experiment that revolves around who can be controlled and to what extent. And given enough money and time these Pirates have proven their case beyond all their wildest dreams - and until now they didn't even need to use any extraordinary methods or draconian measures - because so many, proved to be so willing, to do ANYTHING for a little bit of money. This was part one of the private compact that so many chose to make with 'the Faustian Devil.'

The key to breaking this stranglehold is to begin to hold demonstrations DURING THE WORK-WEEK! That's why demonstrations on the weekends didn't draw anything like a majority of politicians or even very many leaders (because they knew that the numbers

could be manipulated) - and besides the 'demonstrations' actually only took time away from the participants. Now if the demonstrations were to actually COST the corporations time or money or both - my god the National Guard would have to be activated! And the USA PATRIOT Act would actually have to be USED! Think about that.

The way it is now people are so conditioned to do NOTHING which would reflect badly on them at work - because they simply cannot think what would happen to them - if they were fired. But if they were fired for a political event then they might never be able to ever get another job again. Because deep down *EVERYBODY * KNOWS * exactly what is going on - THEY JUST DON'T DARE TO EVEN WHISPER the truth: NOT EVEN TO THEMSELVES!

Now comes the inevitable part two of the Faustian deal with the Devil. Those who sold their souls for a little bit of money seemed to think that it was only themselves that they were selling out. How very wrong they were! We are social animals, and we choose societies because we are communal beings. Societies depend on mutual trust for their very survival, and what those people did who sold themselves, and their futures, on the alters of greed and power - was to also involuntarily sell their loved ones out as well.

It's one thing to be part of the corruption and the theft of other people's dreams, and other people's futures - but it is altogether another thing entirely - to sell your loved ones into fighting and dying to protect the LIES and DECEPTIONS of this nations highest leaders.

In the Faustian deals that were made with the Devil - no one believed that the Devil would change the rules, when it came time to honor the contract. But that's exactly what is happening. Not only will their supposed profits from the sale of their souls now disappear - but along with that - those who chose that deal must now live with the fact that their actions will soon destroy everything that they hold dear. Once those terms are made clear - as the Bushwackers are now doing - this new situation will take so very long to combat and even longer to win. But IF we are the people we profess to be - then we might survive even this!
