They want tyranny.

They cannot arrest all of us! There is still a semblance of freedom out there, if they move too quickly then they have to worry about a mass awakening!

Fear allows them to get tighter control, until they are completely in control.

If people are willing to accept that without a recent widely publicized false flag, just wait till some brown person detonates a dirty bomb in Lincoln Nebraska, or some other totally expendable "heartland" locale.

Read any right-wing forum. Conservative Americans want mass murder of brown people and anyone else that disagrees with them. They are a menace to the entire planet. Getting them to go totally Nazi at this point will just take a little spark.

...yet. They'll tax us to build bigger prisons (a Prison Archipelago, as it were) first.

They've already fully awakened the sleeping giant, and the giant is pissed!

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to help reduce people's fearfulness?

Yeah, get right with God. A lot of the fear stems from peoples own mortality.

 

[nasaal]

They want a benevolent dictatorship. It isn't hard to see, I think many of us refuse to believe that because we don't want it to be true. People in general want to be led. They like being told what to do so that they have no responsibility in the matter. In all honesty, if that is what they American people want, well that is their choice. I'll move out of the country as quickly as possible, but I respect the decision of the majority coming to life.

I could probably come up with some long winded version of an answer, but the truth is, people just need to be aware that the state of the Govt right now as compared to what is coming is much much worse. THAT is what people should be afraid of. Thus, if they fear what is coming more, hopefully they will have the courage to stand up against what exists right now.

What people should not do is to fear their own Liberty and Freedom.

A society in love with killing yet terrified of death and their own mortality.

When you have been as wicked as we have, as a people, I can understand that fear.

The same can be said about sex. So many Americans are conflicted between obsession and hatred/fear.

We can thank the abusive religious traditions for this. The race is probably doomed... but I repeat myself.

 

[donnay]

What it proves to me is their psychological war is working. It's our duty (those of us who are awake) to snap these people out of it!!

 

[Eagles' Wings]

For my particular loved one, it is not so much fear of the future, but pride in what is thought to be true. After decades of studying political/war history, it is devastating to consider that what you once believed could be false.

 

[Moebedda]

And all we can do about it is humbly act in the manner that we wish all others would act.
We've got to be more tolerant, we've got to be tireless, we've got to be better educated, we've got to be more pleasant, we've got to be more presentable, than EVERYONE who disagrees with us or who has yet to take the red pill.

It's all we can do.

In the long run we will win. The long run might not be this year. It might not be this decade. It might not be our lifetime. But the message of liberty, built on the foundation of individual virtue and mutual respect will win, because it has to. Our part in this is to live the way we wish others would live and lead by example.

You got it my friend. This is the truth.

Ghandi said "Be the change you wish to see in the world." We have all heard people say to lead by example. We know that MANY MANY people follow what others do. We call them sheeple. People who have not swallowed the red pill follow the masses. Plato said "The masses are incurably ignorant". This must be understood. Do we really need everyone swallowing the red pill? Many people don't want to know the truth. Instead of trying to hammer this into the ones who do not want to be informed, maybe we need to figure out a way to leverage their ignornace. Maybe being this change is the answer instead of trying to convince everyone that they need to change.

Here is one thing I have done to be that change. I canceled my cable and no longer watch the news or much TV for that matter. It is my belief that the negativity and consumerism message that you get on TV poisons the minds of our society. They tell us how to think and what to buy. So much of what you get on the TV is garbage. EVERYONE complains about how depressing the news is, yet they turn it on anyway and will ALWAYS come up with some excuse why they must watch it. I hear this all of the time. Why do we keep doing something that effects us in such a negative way? Turn it off for a week or two and you will understand what I talk about. Turning off the TV will force you to live a little. Doing something beside watching TV will turn into something positive, because so much of the negativity you get on TV has absolutely NOTHING to do with your existence. And I am speaking to all of you MSM haters out there. TURN IT OFF. I certainly don't need it anymore. I am much better off without it. And if I don't need it, no one does.

Great post, Moe.

We've found a hilarious comedy series from Canada, ordered from the library, called "Corner Gas". Family of all ages loves it. Some swearing, mostly jack a**.

Library has tons of oldies, classics, Dr. Who, Alfred Hitchcock, you name it. This is about all we use the tv for now.

Sadly I think that this is all the result of a paranoid society.

I always feel that when Ron Paul uses the term "welfare-warfare" state he is resorting to standard Red Scare propaganda, albeit unintentionally. The reality of the world is that none of the welfare states are warfare states.

Welfare states
Canada
Australia
Sweden
Norway
Iceland
Germany
Spain

Warfare states
USA
Iran
Pakistan
North Korea

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In fact it is precisely the opposite, the best way to create a warfare state is to eliminate welfare, thereby reducing social cohesion, reducing cooperation, increasing competition and aggression, and creating a paranoid mentality (constant stress due to lack of a social safety net). There's a reason that Americans are more paranoid than people in any other developed nation, its because they know they can get fucked at any time, and there's nothing there to help them. That paranoia expresses itself through endless war and the support of warmongers.

People are also dead right that the media in the US is highly consumerist, again, that is very different from the welfare states I mentioned in the list, where media still believes in public service. We are not a welfare-warfare state. We are a warfare state.

Were we a welfare state, we wouldn't be a warfare state.

 

[flightlesskiwi]

i disagree. we are both.

the federal reserve fiat monetary system as well as the FRN being the reserve currency of the world enables both. it's quite a unique time to be alive.

There is no doubt TSWHTF, the only question is, will we ride out the storm, each to their own, or will we ride it out some where together and start over with out them, only this time with out the commerce clause?
If the latter, where?

 

[AFPVet]

Many Americans just want their television and beer. ... just wait until their unemployment runs out and they can't find a job.

+1 (plus, our welfare state is global in scale. IIRC, not even the Romans could achieve that)

Maybe if the Roman Central bank printed more Denarii they woulda made it....
