Who Defines Law-Breaker?

I was reading Liberty’s Torch this morning where I was reminded of the following excerpt from Atlas Shrugged:

“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against — then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can be neither observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted — and you create a nation of law-breakers — and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.” [from Atlas Shrugged]

I put this in context with the current state of affairs in Cherokee County, NC where the new paradigm bypasses this concept of whether the target is even a law-breaker. While we know that the rule of law is no longer intact in the overthrown Republic, the majority of people will not admit it. They will not admit the excerpt from Atlas Shrugged.

Where does that leave us?

I was at my Sons BBall game this morning. One of his teammates fathers works for the local force. I’ve seen him at games here for years, he seems like a nice guy, and I hear good things about him.
But I looked at the back of his head and wondered if he is going to make me put a bullet in it.
Thats where we are.
Thats where things are at.
Every cop has to sit at his kids intramural sporting event and wonder how many people in the audience would kill them dead if given half the chance.
Quit, learn to code, as the kids say these days. Its your only hope at this point, you have to realize that. Forces greater than you ARE going to put you in a situation. Choose to live now, and gtfo. Now. I won’t hesitate when my time to choose comes.

That leaves us with no alternative but one, when the leo arrives with a death warrant act accordingly. The law applies only to the law abiding, half the country is now designated terrorists with targets on our backs. Pedo joe would be target bombing us already if he could, we are at war act as if your life depended on it, because it does.

Before I left Joisey, the town I lived in of about 10,000 people ran a police entrance exam. It got about 1000 test takers. In Joisey, you can retire after 25 years with a nice pension. Take that away and I daresay you wouldn’t get 1000 test takers.

ATF in point and the pistol buffer stock situation. Off again, now on again. The ATF is an illegal organization that makes rules which in turn makes us criminals. How many are going to comply or become criminals?

Louis you are right. The atf purposely allowed the pistol braces for years, so they could make the braces and us illegal later on. Ayn was spot on.

I personally think it is attempted murder Thomas, as was said they close ranks around the perps.

It leaves us with using the last box as our only choice.

Who defines Law Breaker? Men of Yahuah know.
Every one doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 1 YAHUKANON JOHN 3:4
So if we are also calling for more lawlessness are we too calling for sin?
Sin can be within us no matter where we are, where we work. In our frontlets in our hands.

From a practical standpoint, “law” is nothing more than some proclamation spewed out by some of the sickest garbage the species has ever bread, enforced by hired goons that get off on putting their boots on peoples throats.
Does that sound like anything good to you?
