Statists and apologists argue the good functions of government outweigh the bad and often use the idiom of not throwing the baby out with the bath water.
I agree with them; throwing babies out is ill advised. Perhaps we can gently remove the babies from this government acid bath before we throw it out? Does it really have to be all or nothing? To have a road to drive on must we also have war? I will walk.
Is there a Universal Solution to Health, Education, Transportation, Trade and Life for 350 million people spread across 3,000 miles? Is this what America is supposed to be? I do not believe so. We The People can handle our own business, design our own curriculums and build our own roads. We can help our neighbors when they are sick and injured. If you don't believe this, I pity you.

What It Is
I know I seem like a Lazy Bastard, and I am, but it's not just lack of motivation or fear of success. I am devoted to one thing: ending the control of the World by those claiming to be Elites. Call me crazy, but it is what it is and unless some progress is made in that direction I don't wanna be here. But what the fuck am I doing to accomplish this? Not fucking much, lazy selfish mofo. Not enough.
So I'm gonna start doing more. I've said this in the past with some successes and some failures. This time, failure's not an option. Shit's bout to hit the fan and before we know it we'll be talking bout the good ole days when gas was under 10 bucks a gallon. I don't know if it's a month or a year but I'm not gonna sit around and wait. It's coming and no one can stop it except us if we stand up and fix the root problems and that is these Elites want a world of dumb people because they are easy to control and as long as they are in positions of power We will never be Free. They view humanity as their herd of cattle. I can't live with that and I won't. This, right now, may be our only real opportunity to end it. In less than a decade surveillance will be so pervasive that it will be impossible to organize, protest or resist. The very idea of what it means to be human, to learn and explore, will be restricted and regulated. It already has. Fuck that. I will do anything in my power to stop it and I won't stop til it's over or I am.
I'm not gonna predict the future, victory or defeat. I have no idea what the chances of success are. I know there are millions just in this thing we call a country and I know that's been enough in the past. In the Revolutionary War only 3% of the population fought. Hopefully no one will have to fight and die in this Revolution but I can't say that's likely unless we have some real Hands Across America type shit all the sudden. It's bleak, but I can't give it up and I have devoted enough time and effort to believe beyond a reasonable doubt that this threat is real. We haven't passed the point of no return yet, but we shoulda pulled the brakes a while ago on this train.
So anyway, sorry for the novel. Not trying to lecture or preach or anything like that, just trying to explain my behavior a little and maybe warn you about what you're getting into with me. I've never tried to hide it but maybe I haven't been as committed in the past as I feel right now and the sense of urgency is getting to a point where it is impossible for me to ignore. Hey, I know some people would diagnose me with a half dozen psychiatric disorders if they read this shit. Hopefully they're right and I'm wrong. But, what if I'm not wrong? Many will die unless we make preparations to deal with the fact that the American Empire and it's dominance over the world is coming to an end and realize the effects this will have on us all. The USD (dollar) is dead. It has de facto lost its reserve currency status in the world and been replaced with SDR (Special Drawing Rights) from the IMF. Oil and other transactions that have been conducted for decades exclusively in USD have switched to alternatives like the Yen, Euro and Ruble. This could not have possibly happened a decade ago without American threat of sanctions or worse. Now, with it's forces overextended and spread thin in a global war on "terror" (wtf?) with two major fronts and long term occupations, other nations are simply calling the bluff and doing what's in their own economic interest - what they would have done all along without the threat of force on one side and bribes and kickbacks on the other. All it means really is we are going to have to work to survive. Not really the end of the world, is it? But getting a lot of people to consider that possibility is real hard.
Aright, sorry for all that but I wouldn't feel right if I didn't give you a heads up on the information I have gathered and you can do with it as you wish.

We Need a Revolution.
It is happening now - We ARE the R3volution. We will die trying or achieve personal liberty. When a majority understands what achieving personal liberty means it will be achieved. Will we achieve this majority? I hope so.
But what is "personal liberty"? Here's where it gets tricky... it is so many different things. It is the Right to live, travel, learn, play and work towards the pursuit of your happiness, with the restraint of not restricting another's Right to the same. Why? Natural Law, God's Law, The Golden Rule, whatever you want to go with but ultimately because it just feels Right. I have not come across an argument** that successfully argues otherwise.
**A VALID argument; ie, not based on claims of divine favor, supernatural ability, ignorance of basic scientific principles, discriminatory towards involuntary traits, class based or elitist.
It is the right to be secure in your person and property**. In any case it includes a right to self defense. In special cases the right to self defense is extended to third parties, neighbors or strangers if you witness an assault, attempted or achieved, or an immediate threat is present.
**This definition might irk some socialists, but steal their car and see how fast they change their tune. I am more of a socialist than many of them, but I subscribe to a more natural and voluntary philosophy of socialism. Small socialist communities already exist and I hope that they will expand in numbers. Eventually, certain technological advances could lead to an abundance of resources which would make the concept of money as a store of "value" antiquated.
Somehow (ooh me, I know! I know!), corporatism has been re-branded as capitalism, oligarchical fascism has been re-branded as representational democracy and corporate welfare has been re-branded as socialism. Oh, boy! How the times change (the meaning of words). Liberal has been redefined. Conservative, Free Market, Democracy, etc., slowly adjusted over time until they have a new definition in the public understanding. '1984' started long before 1984.
Honestly, I do not believe We will allow it to devolve into the 84' scenario of a military regime. Call me an optimist, but I don't believe Americans will tolerate an attempt to impose martial law without taking to the streets. En masse; with guns. Even a credible false flag event will lead to riots and chaos. The tension is in the air and it is naive or worse to ignore it. Talk of civil war and secession has reached peak levels.
Absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a New 9/11 - the Brave New World scenario makes more sense to me.. Booted up, jacked in, always on infinite info feeds, communication streams, augmented physical and virtual reality, shared consciousness, nanotech marvels, resonant realities, genetic miracles, quantum dreams and the promise of artificial nirvana will keep an increasing number entertained and distracted. The implications and impact of these things are enormous and probably unavoidable. Game Changers.
The primary threat to the realization of the most beneficial aspects of this info-revolution is the centralization of power, which seems to be on a fast track to worldwide consolidation of the economic and political spheres. Without immediate action and considerable effort of a majority (or a tireless minority, unlikely) We will be denied the ability to explore our future in peace. I hope We can come together soon enough. I imagine emotional Hands Across America type stuff were we all just come out of our houses at the same time and talk to our neighbors and say "Hey, we have to work together!" and then group hug and have some beers and bbq before we tackle the New World Order.
Back in the real world, I'm gonna go to work tomorrow. I'll fix some computers and install some software. On Friday I get payed and I'll pay my bills and give a few bucks to a few campaigns for positions in an organization which I believe to be fraudulent and illegitimate. I'll be polite to people and pretend I'm not ready to explode because I know at that moment there are people exploding on the other side of the Earth. Blown to bits, voluntarily or not, innocent or guilty. I will laugh when someone says something funny because I will not be thinking about the people in my community who are hungry, suffering abuse, dependent and depressed at *that* particular moment. I will stay the course and when I hear the call, if it is genuine I will respond armed only with my mind and body.
