Divide and Conquer
Gary Hunt
August 16, 2009
In War -- in battlefield combat, one of the most important strategies, especially
if the enemy has superior numbers, is "divide and conquer". Very briefly, it
can be explained that if you have a force of 3,000 and the enemy has a force of
4,000, you will probably be defeated in combat. However, if you can cause
him to divide his forces into 2 groups, each having about 2,000 men, is
beneficial. You have gone from 25% less men, against his entire force, to a
50% advantage over one of the split units. Once the first unit is defeated, the
second unit can be attacked, with much better odds than if an attack was made
on the entire force, at the onset.
The same is true of the psychological warfare America is embroiled in, today,
and the political warfare that has begun to divide the country.
Each unit that advocates an idea, solution, or objective is limited to the number
of people in that unit against the joined forces of the Congress; the Executive
administration; and, the multitude of Administrative Agencies. The
effectiveness of our side is usually diminished further by forces in different
states not coordinating their effort; units with the same objective or goal, not
working in unison; and, variations of methods of achieving the objective
sought.
I have compiled a list of singular objectives that are commonly pursued, today.
Bear with me as we look at these issues, and discuss what they will achieve, in
the end, if the groups are successful in their pursuit. The items presented are in
no logical order, but the primary issues, I hope, are all included.
911 Truth Seekers - the truth seekers - The goal here is to prove that the
government was involved in the planning and execution of the events,
which destroyed the World Trade Center, and resulted in our involvement in
war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Though the issues brought up by the group are
ambiguous rather than tangible, let us suppose that they convince the
majority of the people in this country that the government was involved.
What happens then? Will it end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Or, have
they established a totally separate identity from the World Trade Center? If
the government does acknowledge culpability, they will throw out a few
dogs to be devoured by the press and public, and go on with their evil ways
-- planning better, in the future.
Problem: Administrative Agencies have too much authority, often
independent of the legislative and executive branches of government.
Birth Certificate pursuers - Suppose irrefutable proof of the bastard
president’s birth elsewhere (disqualifying him from office) is brought
forward. What will Congress and the Courts do? They have a dilemma.
Every enactment or document signed by the President becomes void, nunc
pro tunc (from the beginning), or, since the task of, say, recovery of the
stimulus money approaches impossible, and the undoing of the troop
allocations to Afghanistan cannot be undone, what is Congress to do?
Nothing--is what they can do. It may cost the President his job. He may be
charged with high crimes, and convicted and imprisoned. Who will take his
place? The successor would be Joe Biden, as Vice-President, or, John
McCain, as runner up in the election, or even thrown into the House of
Representatives, as Thomas Jefferson’s election was. So, you, at best, get a
Republican President. Was Bush that much better than the bastard
president? Or, are both parties in bed to bring this country to its knees.
Remember, the first stimulus package was under Bush.
Problem: The Congress has not ventured into qualifying Presidential
aspirants, and the Court refuses to look at the matter. There is a
qualification in the Constitution, but no direction as to who is to act as the
qualifier. Congress has not, as was intended by the Founding Fathers,
sought to fill the gap of omission in the Constitution. Congress has let us
down.
Audit the Federal Reserve - Suppose there is an audit of the Federal
Reserve. What audit standard would apply to an entity as unique as the
Federal Reserve? So, first, a standard would have to be developed to assure
that the audit provided the desired results. I would suggest that this would
first be given to the Treasury Department to propose the standard. I can see
Treasury taking a year or two to develop their proposal for a standard.
Then, it would go to the Congress who would assign it to committee, and it
would be in Congressional committees for at least two years. Once the
standard was determined, the audit would be conducted. Most assuredly, at
least some of the auditors would be people well versed in the practices and
procedures of the Federal Reserve (inside men). Even if the audit, when (if
ever) completed showed massive fraud, the result would be to enact laws to
prohibit that sort of fraud in the future, and, at best, begin the process of
looking for an alternative to the Federal Reserve Act.
Problem: Congress was outside of its authority when it enacted the Federal
Reserve Act in 1913. The effect of the subsequent years of entrenchment;
loss of GOLD and silver as a means of paying debt; and, the enormous debt
that has been created and mostly owed to the Federal Reserve makes a
solution under the present system almost impossible. The Congress failed
to adhere to the Constitution.
End the Federal Reserve - Even if ended abruptly, the effect on the
economy, especially with regard to the National debt, would be devastating.
What alternative to both dealing with circulating currency and payment of
debt would be implemented to avoid such disaster?
Problem: The Congress abrogated their responsibility under the
Constitution and allowed an Administrative Agency (Treasury Department)
and a private (foreign) group of investors to control our economy.
Healthcare - Objections to national health care are late, and will do nothing
to reduce costs. As has resulted from mandatory (in some cases) healthcare
insurance, the costs have escalated because the marketplace was
undermined. Once the captive audience (mandatory insurance) was
implemented, costs could only go up. If healthcare were left in the free
market, there would still be hospitals, doctors, and producers of prescription
drugs. They would, however, have to provide their services at prices that
were reasonable and manageable. Otherwise, they would have no
customers. Absent customers, they would lower their prices, or look for
new work. Supply and Demand is the best manager of costs. Supply and
Demand allows us, the "consumers”, to determine what appropriate and
acceptable costs are. Once removed from our hands, the value of the
service was also removed.
Problem: Congress usurped authority that was not granted by the
Constitution, by adopting socialism as a means of buying votes. There is no
Constitutional authority to require businesses to provide mandatory health
insurance, nor is there authority, now, to implement national healthcare.
Continental Congress - The First Continental Congress was called for by
the New York Committees of Safety. The other colonies responded, in
kind, by agreeing to the Congress. The primary result was the "Non-
importation Agreement", as well as some petitions, and, most importantly,
the understanding that the colonies could work together for a common goal.
The delegates were either existing members of the respective legislatures
who were NOT on the side of the Royal Government, or delegates selected
by the various Committees. This was true of the subsequent Continental
Congresses as well. The Congresses were called for by the delegates, not
the delegates being called for by the Congress. The current call for a
Continental Congress is a small group (though, admittedly, growing) of
people who have called for delegates to their Congress. This could never be
construed to be an emulation of those first Congresses. Since their line of
representation is downward and selective, anything that they do or ask for is
nothing more than any other group could do or ask for. It bears no weight,
and is not representative of the people or a constituency.
Problem: We have been denied Redress of Grievances, as guaranteed by
the Constitution. In desperation, we are seeking ways to regain that right,
but it will only come when the Rebel US government returns to its
willingness to heed the will of the people.
Ron Paul - Ron Paul has come along and captured the hearts of many of
those who believe that the Rebel US government has gone astray. He is
right in much of what he says, and those who have adhered themselves to
him, are also right in doing so. However, we must think, also, of what
effect it would have if Ron Paul were elected President. What would
change? The President cannot act without the consent of the Congress. If
he does, he places himself in a position to be censured or overruled by the
Congress. He has a multitude of administrative agencies to deal with (over
1000), and most of them have already developed a mind of their own.
Alone, or even with as many as one hundred members of Congress on his
side, the changes on the nature of government, and the power of the political
elite is such that there would be no substantial change in the operation of the
government.
Problem: The nature of government has changed to the point that return to
the confines of the limitations imposed by the Constitution is nearly
impossible. Separation of powers has become ineffective because of the
power of the political parties and the political elite.
FEMA Camps - Back in the nineties, a list of alleged FEMA prison camps
surfaced and circulated via fax network and other methods that were
common. That same list has resurfaced and circulated on the Internet. The
list, at least part of it, was bogus. I personally investigated four of the sites
and they were not what they were alleged to be. More recently, another list
has begun to circulate. It is completely different, though it does mention
locations near some of the older lists locations. This list may have more
truth to it than the previous list. It appears that either bids have been taken,
or even contracts let for restoration and/or construction on a number of
World War II camps or internment centers. So, what if they are building
these camps? What will we do about it? Can they be stopped? Yes, if the
new construction is destroyed, but that will simply delay things. Will
exposure to the public of the camps serve any purpose? Yes, and No.
People will be aware of them and may be resentful that they are being built.
But the government will, most assuredly, come up with a plausible
explanation that will satisfy at least some, and nothing will be done to
change the continuation of what they have already begun.
Problem: An Administrative Agency (FEMA) has been granted
extraordinary power, authority and budget funds to "prepare for an
emergency, whether man-made or natural".
Codex Alimentarius & Genetically Modified Products (GMP) - The
Food and Drug Administration has determined, without any more than
administrative consent from Congress, what is good, and what is bad in our
food supply. Once those few people make the decision, regardless of the
source or influence behind the idea, it becomes law -- and, we have to eat it
-- unless we grow our own food. Some suggest that we will not be allowed
to grow our own food, but that aside, we have lost quality food from retail
sources (unless small and local) and, in most cases, cannot even find out,
without extensive research, what they have been doing to that food supply.
If we get rid of the agency, we still have thousands of food production
companies that have implemented the programs, and will be reluctant to
withdraw from what they have gotten used to.
Problem: An Administrative Agency (FDA) has been granted
extraordinary power, authority and budget funds to decide what we eat,
regardless of who benefits and who suffers because of their decisions.
Child Protective (sic) Services - Every state has, under suggestion or
pressure from the Rebel US government, established a Child Protective
Service, or equivalent. Though the name sounds good, in fact, the agency
(with federal funding) has the right to determine whether you are a fit
parent, or not. "Spare the Rod and Spoil the Child" has become criminal,
when applied to disciplining your child. CPS can seize your children
without due process of law, and then place them where they see fit. It is
likely that some of these agencies have even found that putting children out
for adoption can be profitable - beyond the already lucrative government
funding.
Problem: The government, Congress and administrative agencies in
Washington, D.C., have funded and encouraged the establishment of
agencies within the states who are "legally" qualified to determine if you are
fit parent, or not. This has been destructive of traditional family values
upheld in this country for centuries, and has put the state as parent, under
color of law, of all children.
Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) - The Uniform Commercial Code
was adopted by nearly every state, back in the fifties or sixties. Its purpose
who was to have a set of rules, easily understood and established, with the
purpose that consumers would be able to understand their relationship to
merchants, lenders, etc., and know where they stood and what their rights
were in transactions. It was implemented by being enacted, in near pure
form into the statutes of the respective states. There were a number of
provisions that, definitely, benefitted the consumer. One was that when you
made a payment, the postmark date of that payment had to be accepted as
the date of payment by the lender. This has been overridden by the
legislatures and now the lender can even hold your payment for a few days
before recording it, which often throws the borrower into an overdue status
and attaches the penalties that apply to overdue payments. Though
beneficial, when implemented, it has become more of a tool for the
commercial interests and means by which they can screw us out of
penalties, add charges on top of charges, and, generally run the show. This,
like CPS, is administered by the states. Congress tends to support the
changes to credit cards, with a total disregard for the consumer.
Problem: The Congress had, at first, encouraged enactment and acceptance
of the UCC. Then, they turned their backs on the intended purpose and
allowed lobbyists to encourage changes that took away the protections and
passed laws contrary to the UCC.
Stop the New World Order - This is an admirable goal. However, the
question is whether it is achievable? And, if it were achievable, how would
we achieve it? There is no doubt that certain identifiable organizations are
major players in the effort to create a New World Order. I believe that some
organizations, though often included, are not, at least in rank and file
memberships, supporters of the effort. Once identified and exposed, do you
think anything will change? They sit in their positions of power and
influence (backed by their wealth) and dictate what they perceive as the
solution to all of man’s problems on earth. We can touch, feel, taste and see
the accomplishments that they are making, every day of our lives. The only
conceivable way of stopping this effort is to dispose of those who are
participants. Let them know that their lives have as little value, or less, than
the lives that are lost, every day, because of their programs.
Problem: Congress, the Executive, the Courts and all of the principle
Ministers of administrative agencies are pawns in the game of world
domination. This extends, largely, into the state and local governments.
Where that influence is not direct, it is, at least, indirect. So long as there is
no accountability for public officials, officers and agents, there is no
solution.
Kick Them All Out - So, who will fill their vacancy? Another
programmed member of their political party, or the programmed member of
the other political party? In the event that you do manage to get a third
party candidate in office, it will, more likely, be a lowly office that offers no
threat to the establishment power scheme. Further, if against all odds, your
third party candidate ascends to a higher and more influential position, you
can rest assured that he will either succumb to "the way that it’s done" by
trading votes to get some of his items passed, or, being but one or two who
vote against bad legislation because they believe it to be bad (NB: Many
votes are cast against certain programs which already have assured votes for
passage, for the sake of impressing their constitutions that they are "not
party men").
Problem: The legislative system in this country, at federal, state, county,
and city levels has, with few exceptions, become corrupted and the office is
sought for personal gain and influence.
Drug Wars; Medical Marijuana - Drug wars are nothing more than an
attention getter and a tool used to demonstrate to the naive portions of the
public that government is doing all that it can to get rid of "crime". Of
course, there is no victim to the crime, except the person who spends
thousands for their lawyers, thousand more in fines, and, perhaps a few
years of his life in prison.
Problem: Administrative Agencies have been granted, by the Congress, the
authority to enact policies that, a Constitutional Amendment could, only
impose less than a century ago. They have also ignored the guarantee of
Republican Form of Government [Art IV, Sec 4, Constitution] in the states
by allowing their policy to override state enactments and initiatives that
have removed penalties for certain drugs and persecuting those who they
have managed to license, by removing licenses of those who violate their
administrative policies.
Confederate States of America - This group of sincere patriots have
endeavored to arise from the past. They have taken the mantle of those
who, many years ago, tried to stop them, then beginning to grow, element of
Congressional and Presidential tyranny. Though secession was not
considered unconstitutional when the New England States met in Hartford,
Connecticut, in 1814-1815, to, among other things, discuss secession, it was
those same states that supported Lincoln in his claim that secession was
unconstitutional. Therefore, the most damaging war in our history was
conducted to "prove" that secession was unconstitutional. The precedence
having been established, just how far do you think that you will get with the
current effort?
Problem: Congress and the Executive have, in effect, revised the
Constitution effectively outlawing any attempt to remove oneself from the
compact. Once in, you are stuck. There is no way out of the corrupted
influence of government by secession.
American Party; Constitutional Party; Libertarian Party; Christian
Conservatives - In terms of any of these entities achieving any successful
political advancement, they are little more than any social organization.
Though it may feel good to be among people who think like you, the ability
to effect any change within the current political structure with a new party is
non-existent.
Problem: The Congress has managed to manipulate the electoral and
election processes to remove, or reduce to insignificant, the possibility of a
challenging third party to achieve even a modicum of success.
Show me the Law (IRS - income tax) - Though there are a number of
reasons why the Income Tax, as applied, is illegal or unconstitutional, there
are many who have ended up in prison, or dead, in their efforts to avoid this
unlawful imposition on our lives. To their credit, probably millions do not
pay Income Taxes. Will this change anything other than how much of what
one earns they are allowed to retain? It absolutely will not. With all of
those who have moved out of the system, there has still been no substantial
change to the nature of imposition and collection of this tax. The
government needs the tax, the benefits, and deductions so that they can
"social engineer" the society. It has nothing to do with the government’s
need for the money, and everything to do with "teaching us that they control
our very lives".
Problem: Congress has given an Administrative Agency (IRS) power over
our lives, without regard to the Constitutional restrictions on taxation.
Freedom Communities - Wonderful ideas, in concept. Live amongst those
with like minds. They will only serve as indefensible enclaves, if the
government ever chooses to crack down and arrest resistors. They are quite
capable of becoming their own prisons.
Problem: Congress has extended its authority beyond the scope allowed by
the Constitution, and encroached upon the domains that were preserved to
the States.
State Sovereignty - In the nineties, 17 states adopted sovereignty
resolutions. To my knowledge, they were never rescinded. Today, states,
once again, are adopting sovereignty resolutions. Most of them were the
same states that did so, back in the nineties. Though nice proclamations,
they end up having no merit. Whether they were passed out of sincerity, or
to "convince" the citizens of the respective states that they would not
succumb to federal pressure, they failed then, and they will, most likely, fail
now. States have relinquished their authority, under the Constitution, for
contributions of money from the federal agencies. They have sold us down
the drain. When we object, they pass resolutions as pacification, but will
still continue to take the greenmail that is offered by the Rebel US
government. If these resolutions passed, and then are forgotten, we cannot
expect the states to be a viable part of our efforts to restore the government
to its proper role.
Problem: The federal government usurped constitutional powers to control
the states, and then bought the states into submission.
State Citizen (National) - A valid exercise that, when completed, frees you
from US citizenship. Once freed, however, you have to be vigilant and
careful. A misstep may land you in jail, or worse. If you manage to
establish your credentials in your home community, you will have to repeat
the education of law enforcement and judicial officers, when you leave your
local area. This will be a perpetual battle for Rights retained by the Ninth
and Tenth Amendments. If millions were to adopt this status, what would
change regarding the other evils of government?
Problem: The unconstitutional Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution,
allowed by the Congress, the Executive, and the Courts, created a fictional
relationship between our public servants and ourselves. The effect was to
make them master and us the servant.
North American Union - If we do not stop the North American Union, we
will be like the European Union and we will have foreign trucks and drivers
driving through our country. Yep! Even if you do manage to stop it, how
long do you think it will be until the steam goes out and it gets started,
again?
Problem: Congress has, many times before, relinquished our sovereignty
in favor of foreign alliances that do not come under the heading of "Treaty",
as the Founding Fathers perceived it. NATO, SEATO, United National,
NAU, all of them are just cars on a train toward one world government.
H1N1 vaccine - This subject has generated a disproportionate amount of
debate. The facts appear to suggest that the "outbreak" and the "death rate"
are substantially lower than many other sources of disease/death. This
brings into question (suspicion) the insistence of a vaccine. Quite simply,
take the vaccine, or don’t take the vaccine.
Problem: The Administrative Agencies, in conjunction with United
Nations agencies, have determined a course of action to be implemented
(forced) upon the American people. This application seems to be
inconsistent with the facts, but there is no recourse (Redress of Grievances),
as provided for by the Constitution).
Illegal immigration/aliens; Border protection - Our borders, especially
the southern border, have become sieves which allow illegal entry
(invasion) into the United States sovereign lands. This breech of
responsibility by the federal Administrative Agencies required by law to
enforce immigration laws has allowed access, without the security that is
required even for legal entry, to our country by workers, drug dealers,
criminal elements, and very probably terrorists. In the meantime, for the
first time in our history, American citizens are required to have a passport
and go through extensive security to return to their own country, from visits
to Mexico and Canada.
Problem: Administrative Agencies, by the policy and failure to enforce
existing law, provide a fertile ground of activity that is in conflict with our
professed Foreign Policy. Since both foreign policy and execution of the
laws of the land fall in the Executive Branch of government, there is an
apparent conflict within that branch which can be demonstrative of nothing
less than contempt for the laws of the land.
Education - Public Education has its foundation in this country prior to the
Revolution. It has been held that an educated citizenry would be watchful
of abuses by government. The concept, as implemented and conducted for
over a century was that local school boards: raised revenue through ad
valorem taxes; determined curriculum based upon the needs of the
community; provided facilities for the purpose of education; received all of
Section 16 (one square mile in each township surveyed under the
rectangular survey system) in the Western lands (the only participation by
the federal government); and, hired instructors to provide the education to
the students. As time went on, the federal government created a new
cabinet position (Administrative Agency) for Health Education and
Welfare. Over a few decades, nearly all of the authority for the above listed
responsibilities devolved to absolute control by the federal government.
Problem: An Administrative Agency has displaced community, county,
state, and family from the determination of what their children will be
taught. They have controlled who may teach; what material can be used to
teach; and extended their control to matters outside of the realm of
education.
Homeschooling - Public education was, historically, "made available".
This left the parents of children to decide whether they want to allow their
children to attend public school; be taught at home (homeschooling); or,
receive no formal education at all. The state stepped in, first, to make
education mandatory (truant officers). Now, many states have imposed
their guidelines on what qualifications, what material and what guidelines
parents must adhere to, if they choose to educate their own children.
Problem: State and federal Administrative Agencies have removed much
of the responsibility that God gave to the parents, with regard to the rearing
of their children, so that they can be indoctrinated in the ways of the
government’s choosing.
Abortion - Abortion is a moral issue. It is not a federal matter, but is, or
was, in the purview of state and/or local government. That is the nature of
the Constitution, as understood by the Founding Fathers. Federal crimes
were limited to those enumerated in the Constitution, and, those that were
passed in accordance with Article I, Section 8, clause 17, of the
Constitution. In Roe v. Wade [410 U.S. 113], Justice Rehnquist, dissenting,
said, " the Court necessarily has had to find within the scope of the
Fourteenth Amendment a right that was apparently completely unknown to
the drafters of the Amendment.” I... in 1868, there were at least 36 laws
enacted by state or territorial legislatures limiting abortion... The only
conclusion possible from this history is that the drafters did not intend to
have the Fourteenth Amendment withdraw from the States the power to
legislate with respect to this matter."
Problem: The Supreme Court has become a legislative authority in their
country. It has used its position of power to aid in the usurpation of both
state and individual rights, reverting the people to the roll of subjects, as
they were under British rule.
Eminent Domain - Eminent Domain has a long history in our English
heritage. Eminent Domain was the means by which the entire community
could be served with roads, canals, and other necessities for common use. It
has been used for private gain, aided and abetted by city and county
governments, since at least the 1960s. Its original intent is a benefit to the
community, though the many of current applications are motivated by
greed.
Problem: The courts, from local to supreme, have ignored the history and
intent of the law by allowing "reinterpretations" of previous cases (stare
decisis). If the courts are allowed to change the meaning of a word or
phrase to obtain their desired conclusion in a case, they will, by such action,
remove Justice entirely from the courtroom.
Congress not reading the bills that they vote for - It has always
astounded me that the Congress seems to find more new need for
legislation, every year. Over 3,000 pieces of legislation are enacted, every
year. One would think that, if what Congress did to solve problems worked,
there would be less need for new laws rather than more. Perhaps
understanding, as they have recently admitted, that they do not read the laws
that they pass, we can understand why things are getting worse rather than
better.
Problem: Congress, whether a Senator or a Representative, is elected and
paid to do a job for his constituency. That job is to represent our interests.
Regardless of recent flagrant disregard with respect to spending, answering
questions about why they support something, and, their general
unwillingness to accept any responsibility for their actions, it would seem
that enacting laws because someone told them that they were good law (and,
we don’t have any idea who told them), is as far away from "representation"
as one could possibly imagine.
Balance the Budget - There has been, for years, an effort to force the
federal government to "balance the budget". Let’s just suppose that they
did. The budget would of necessity, include debt service (payments on
interest, and, hopefully, substantial amounts to reduce principal), along with
the necessary expenses to conduct the business of government. Even if the
operating expenses of the government were reduced to minimal, when
added to the debt service, the amount required to continue the conducting of
government would be well beyond the means of the current sources of
revenue. This would require imposing a tax that would be unbelievable, and
totally unacceptable to most Americans.
Problem: The debt is increasing at an alarming rate because Congress and
the Executive have determined that if they want it, they will buy it.
Consider that the debt, right now, is in excess of $38,000 for every man,
woman and child in this country. Congress and the Executive have dug a
hole so immense that it is nearly impossible to get out of it.
Militia (Civilian Defense) - Militia have been actively forming and then
disbanding for the past 15 years. They generally participate in some combat
training, establish a chain of command, and then get bored with their
actions. There are some, however, who have retained their character. They,
the ones that have stood the test of time, have also acknowledged that the
Militia is subordinate to the civil authority. At this point in our history, that
civil authority is the governor of the state in which the militia is formed.
Similarly, the colonial militia were was subordinate to the Royal Governor
and to their local Committee of Safety, --if they had one. The necessity was
different, then. Indians were a major concern. The Committees would also
establish night watchmen if the community might be subject to Indian
attacks. Much of the activity of the militia was totally without knowledge
of the Governor, and the right to bear arms, though unwritten, was without
question.
Problem: The Rebel US government has done everything that they could
to delegitimize the militia. Most states have followed suit, even to the point
of trying to redefine militia as the National Guard. Most states, however,
retain laws which make all able-bodied males between the ages of 15 and 45
(may vary from state to state) members of the militia, and require no
registration.
Committee of Safety - There is an effort afoot that is attempting to build
Committees of Safety from the top down, much like the Continental
Congress (above). They claim that all of the Committees were composed of
existing legislators. They have, however, put the cart before the horse.
Their page refers to a book by Agnes Hunt about the Provincial Committees
of Safety. These colony level Committees came long after the original
Committees had called for and conducted the Continental Congresses. The
Provincial Committees of Safety, for the most part, came after the
Declaration of Independence. The foundation for organization, leadership,
and, equipping of the militia came first from the local Committees of Safety.
Relief for the people in Boston, during the embargo, was provided by the
local Committees of Safety. They were, without a doubt, the foundation of
the American Revolution. They were not supporters of candidates, nor did
they support issues. They were a single focus group that was intent on
providing guidance to the community for its own defense and well-being.
Problem: Through the educational process and the qualifying of text
books, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare has managed to
relegate, nearly to oblivion, the role played by the Committees of Safety.
They have attempted to destroy any understanding of true Grass Roots
Activism, by so doing. The problem is -- we do not have any Committees
of Safety upon which we can depend for lawful guidance of our activities,
should the need arise.
In reviewing the above issues, and realizing what the outcome of each will
provide as a result, we can see that we are facing myriad tasks, none, or few of
which will result in more than a very singular accomplishment -- which might
easily lead us down another path to pursue.
If the particular objective is reached and the results are adequate, this leaves us
only to join another battle.
If, after years of effort, a battle, which has been waged, is won, leaving no
residual to encumber us into a continuation of that battle, we can choose
another battle to pursue.
However, who is to believe that if a battle is won, finally and decidedly, that
another objective will not appear to take its place?
If a New World Order, dominated by a few, against the many, is truly being
waged, the tactic of "divide and conquer" will surely be continued. It will drain
our resources from now to eternity, if we choose to pursue our goal, one issue
at a time.
The division of our forces is inherent in the struggle that we are pursuing.
Each, due to his personal ideology, has chosen one, or another, of the
objectives, and is willing to give 100%, not realizing the futility of success,
once the battle is completed.
If our forces are so divided as to assure the success of the New World Order,
we are only passing time until, battle completed, or not, we realize that failure
is the only course that we have pursued.
Is there an alternative course that can achieve all of the objectives?
If we were in a battlefield where an effort was made to divide the forces, giving
advantage to the enemy, we would, if our objective was to win and we had
superior forces, refuse to divide our force. The enemy would have anticipated
being successful in creating the division (as they most certainly believe to be
the case), and would not anticipate an all out attack on their main base, leaving
them divided simply by believing that we were divided.
In this psychological, or, political war that we are engaged in, what strategy
would overcome the division that has given such an advantage to the enemy?
Could it be to concentrate our forces in a single issue (of those above
mentioned)? Most assuredly, it would be unsuccessful, since even though that
battle may be won, it would only lead us to the next battle. Each battle
fatiguing us even more, as we trudge through dozens of issues, and leaving the
door open for the creation of even more issues to string along our forces until
exhaustion and frustration finally lead us to accept defeat.
Where could we concentrate our efforts to expect that we could "attack their
headquarters" and achieve success on all fronts?
Unfortunately, in this world of rapid and advanced communication, their
headquarters are spread all over the world. There are, however, many
identifiable "sub-headquarters" where their leaders work, meet, relax, or live.
If we were to begin an effort to attack them on terms that were advantageous to
us, rather than them, we would begin by going to these locations and finding
the culprits. We would tar and feather them, and we would destroy the
buildings that they used to enjoy that which they have reaped from our toil.
Yes, they will arrest us for doing such things. They have established a support
base (police, courts, etc.) to protect them, since they realize that the Founding
Fathers did not face such protection for the taxmen and politicians of the day.
However, arrest is a small price to pay for the goal that we seek. And, if the
juries are fully informed, there will be no convictions.
Create such discomfort and generate fear in their hearts, and, perhaps, they will
find another country to plunder. It is for us to take back our country, and, in so
doing, all of the problems enumerated above, along with the dozens
unmentioned, will be capable of solution by “We the People…”.
If we take to heart the last two mentioned items (Committees of Safety and
Militia), we can begin forming a substitute government (as did the Founding
Fathers), which, once installed as the true Government of the United States, we
can dispense with the problems, one after another.
Would we rather pay lip service to George Washington? Or, would we rather
do that which is necessary to achieve the removal of a despotic government?
He was willing to do what was necessary to expel those who resisted allowing
freedom and liberty to prevail in the land. He supported those peaceful efforts,
when there was hope for them to succeed. When peaceful methods had
convinced the Founding Fathers that they would be of no avail, the efforts were
stepped up, as necessary, to force the hand of the despotic government. Retreat
was not in the dictionary. How extensive an effort would be required was
unknown, and every effort was made to escalate only to the extent necessary.
The desire of the despots to retain control was the force that was needed to
compel the colonists to risk all, when all else had failed.
We have tried petitions. We have tried demonstration. We have been ignored
by those in power for every effort we have exerted. Perhaps, now is the time to
extend our efforts into a minimal physical effort. Create displeasure and
discomfort of those in power, and those who support them. In addition, we
must be sincere and thorough, for if we fail in this effort, there remain but two
choices - Victory by force of arms, or, defeat by failure to be willing to commit
to the cause.
