Despite popular belief, every culture of every nation draws a line in the sand against government tyranny. The problem is, many draw this line so close to total defeat that it rarely matters. For the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto, for instance, it wasn’t until the Germans had already herded millions onto railroad cars destined for death camps and cornered the rest into dilapidated central housing that the ZOB resistance was formed, only to be wiped out a month later. Perhaps hindsight is 20/20, but clearly too many freedom movements throughout history waited too long to respond to the trespasses of oligarchs.
The Founding Fathers frequently struggled with the proper measure of resistance. Many colonials wanted vengeance on the British after the Boston Massacre in March of 1770, but patriots knew that the timing was not right. The battle to rally citizens to the cause and to educate the masses as much as possible on the facts took precedence over the desire to enter conflict. The Founders endured five more years of British government criminality until nearly 80 farmers and militiamen stood outnumbered on Lexington Green on April 19th, 1775 to confront an army of 700 British regulars on a mission to capture rebel leaders and destroy weapons caches. No one knew at the time that the war would be sparked that day, but everyone knew that a fight was inevitable and near.
Brandon Smith’s article is very very good.
I have been trying to educate The People in our Declaration and Constitution so that they will be able to set up a proper government ….. afterwards. The difference between the American Revolution and the French Revolution was basically this: The leaders of our Revolution had the Principles set forth in our Declaration to offer as an alternative to British rule. But the leaders of the French revolution had nothing to offer to replace the decadence of the French aristocracy. Nothing. Just death and terror and destruction.
Our People today are profoundly ignorant and morally corrupt. Pray that God will open their eyes in time.
After experiencing your debate concerning the Article V Convention of States, I am holding little hope for educating people on our founding principles and documents. I pray that we will not have a French Revolution but without morality and faith, I do not see another option.
As I stated earlier, I believe that God will punish us for the sins of our leaders and the lack of faith by the people.
There is always hope! Let us do what we can to change the course of the world.
I realize that the information posted here is not the reality most people what to hear or read. I have no hope or faith in our government. I do have all of my hope and faith in the Lord. My prayer is that this is the kind of hope and faith that will take hold in our country once again.
[…] Well, its like a weekly story now, Feds or Law Enforcement behaving badly and people showing how FED Up with the heavy handedness, Federalies overstepping the boundaries of the Constitution and basically treating the people like criminals. The good news is, when the masses stand together, there is nothing they can do but back down or kill us. (Nevada Rancher for example, he got the word yesterday or today that he can go back to business raising his cattle. I guess the Feds are leaving) I came across this article from a friend in the fight to keep our arms. Enjoy. Real Americans Are Ready To Snap | NCRenegade […]
