I agree with everyone in this thread who has advocated our getting involved in local, county, and state politics/elections.
All well and good, with the understanding that such endeavors avails us nothing unless there is sufficient mass. Here I would suspect that "sufficient" would have to mean a proportion somewhere in the region of 50% of the people, if not more. This is particularly the case if we accept the reality of a so-called "globalist agenda", which at this point is no longer plausibly regarded as "conspiracy theory".
The self-admitted globalists are at the top of the control heap and have similarly made plain their goal of establishing overarching hegemony over the entire globe. Given that to which we have all born witness, this is some very serious business with vast investment having been devoted to the realization of the goal. I believe all reasonable men would agree that "global" doe not mean "almost global". It thereby follows that Theye would not be looking to spare the United States the mark of their brand. This means that America must be brought to heel.
Therefore, any serious attempt at freeing ourselves would have to possess the power to resist a cabal that has shown its willingness to lay waste entire nations that meet with its displeasure. Americans would have to come into
very strong mutual accord in order to hold even the least hope of resisting a power that commands the might of most of the world's nations. Theye've shown themselves capable of anything in terms of intent and will, the only question remaining whether Theye can command or bribe sufficient resources to put America down by force.
I would suggest that anything significantly less than 100% accord of the relevant American subpopulation (fight-capable adults v. children, e.g.) would pose a dire threat to the prospects for a successful break from the self-styled masters. Add to that the fact that Theye would keep at us, year over year in all the usual ways such as economic blockading designed to starve us out. We retain next to no heavy industry, which means we would be in sore trouble were Theye to successfully cut off basics such as oil and steel supplies, just to mention two.
The prospects are indeed grim. Still worth trying, mind you - for living as a slave is no life at all - but let us not fool ourselves into thinking that if Theye can muster the obedient participation of the bulk of nations over a sufficiently long term that America would fall even in the best-case scenario regarding our national will and cohesion.
That's where civil government is closest to the people, anyway. Here are a few ideas that come to mind:
- We need to get acquainted with our state constitutions and start holding our state legislatures accountable for their votes and laws, especially the ones where they allow the federal government to overstep their authority.
This assumes the validity of the documents in question. It further assumes sufficient understanding of proper human relations exists within the confines of each man's skull. I submit that neither assumption is even remotely true.
The case can, however, be made that says America is in dire need of heroic measures in order to save its life. I do, in fact, accept that as unequivocal truth. We need to act first, but only on the understanding that if we throw the vampire from our neck, we will have succeeded in completing but the first step in a laborious and hazard-fraught process of establishing a free land. Understanding freedom, proper human relations, etc. would have to become the next order of business and I remain fearful that attaining such accord in the context of a population the half or more of which has been infected with the disease of entitlement-mind
- At the county level is where we need to start building support for third parties so that one day, hopefully, they will be taken more seriously on the national stage.
- We need to attend city council and town hall meetings to learn about the issues which affect our lives daily, issues such as zoning laws, property taxes, and law enforcement initiatives.
I accept all this as valid, but insufficient. Without an overarching philosophy of freedom, there is no free land. If we are to reduce America to a hodgepodge of a thousand disjointed principalities constituted in random ways, I see no reason to save the land. If the result is my inability to go from place to place without fear of stepping into the domain of a petty, but dangerous tyrant, I want no part of it. Failure to establish an objectively derived and provably correct set of principles that comprise the universal basis of American life will only end us up in the same place, probably worse off than we now find ourselves. Without getting the basics established, there is no point in even bothering.
