The countdown clock and the last chance for “The Founder’s Legacy” of patriotic Americans willing to lay it all on the line for a new Republic, has hit 0:00. Rebellion is no longer an option, a late night “what if” discussion around a bottle of good wine and snacks. It is now the mandated response of oath keeping citizens and Constitutional defending men and women who have heard Paul Revere in 2010. That “watchman,” who made the most famous call to prepare for rebellion in the history of the world, has come again, through all of us who have been riding across our land for several years and warned of the arrival of this most critical moment. It did not materialize lightly or without a desperate realization that it was on the way, and when it did appear at the horizon, life has not and will not ever be the same. Whether you accept this assessment or not, you will be involved in its reality, prepared or not, on board with the need to reclaim this country for freedom’s sake or not, courageous enough to muster with the band of the free and brave or not, you WILL still be counted among those who stood and fought with your countrymen, or posterity will judge you as cowards unworthy to live free.

If you need a “Manifesto” to justify your opposition to “traitors” in communistic, statist Washington D.C., and a supremely evil Presidential cabal headed by Obama, then here is one.

Health Care is now “law of the land” and an affront to the Constitution in every word. That law alone is worthy of open rebellion. The REAL ID Act and its “Nazi like” classifications of who you are and what you will be allowed to do is just the beginning. ANY of the federal agencies that are obvious rights breakers (FBI, IRS, BATFE, CIA, NSA, DHS, FEMA, USDA, FDA, CDC, etc.) and thousands of bureaucrats who owe their souls to a democracy of devils, head the list of particulars that define our corrupted rulers.

Control through the police state is the hallmark of tyranny throughout history. America in 2010 is no different. Specifically, the enemies list begins with the USDA, for the chipping of, and headcount of, every domestic animal in the nation. For what purpose have they done this? It is for control and the furtherance of that police state to be steered by the Agricultural Industry’s Czar in Washington. The “Defense of Farmers” rebellion could be this battle cry.

The FDA is next and covets complete control of all pharmaceuticals and natural remedies to corner not only the financial aspect of their war on American’s health freedoms, but so that they can also prohibit people from charting their own health destiny when it comes to how they will live and “treat” themselves against disease. For a huge profit, people are forced into taking poisonous vaccinations more deadly than the disease. This incursion into people’s lives and criminalizing health choices is alone worthy of rebellion.

S510, the regulation of gardening and the trade of vegetables/fruits, strikes at the heart of a free nation and a citizen’s right to provide sustenance for themselves and others should be completely protected against intrusion by government at any level. We had a “Whiskey Rebellion,” we now need a “Tomato Rebellion” as well.

The list unfortunately goes on and on………. Domestic gun control advocates who are both ignorant and evil, have joined the United Nations, Hillary Clinton, the US State Department, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, George Soros, Charles Shumer, Joe Biden, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, ad nauseum, in a leftist utopian’s dream state of a no firearms society. By confiscating the last means of the people to defend one’s self and to simultaneously protect the criminal crime syndicate in Washington, the war lords on the Potomac hope to defang the Constitutionalists back home. This single issue is the heart and soul of the rebellion that is at hand.

Global taxes to be assessed against all Americans to underwrite the world governance structure when completed and enacted, is another definition of the reason why people rebel.

Internet and communications control, manipulation of the food supply, worthless crops grown with Genetically Modified seeds, the ongoing “legalized” robbery of the American nation by the Federal Reserve and the banking monopoly, all call for a move by the patriots of this land to destroy the beast and reclaim our sovereign right to be free from control and exchange righteous goods and services with a gold and silver system totally free of any kind of central bank—EVER!

Unconstitutional legislation at all levels as an ongoing way of doing governmental business backed by courts and “whore judges” needs a “governmental extinction level event” of its own by the same patriots who have declared open rebellion on every aspect of abusive, wanton, destabilizing bureaucratic dictatorship and the police state rules that govern it.

S1619 the “Livable Communities Act” which is the UN Agenda 21 sustainable living dictatorship that rules energy, zoning and housing using an environmental program offered by insanely corrupted Sen. Christopher Dodd, (D) Ct. He, along with sodomite Barney (rent men from my apartment fame) Frank, brought us the Freddie Mac & Fannie May economy busting debacle, has S1619 up for consideration at this moment. Corruption on this scale, and greed with no end by sworn members of Congress, is worth a rebel cause. Add to this list “victims of racial persecution” Maxine Waters and Charles Rangel, and you have a Hall of Shame that needs to be burned to the ground.

The ultimate goal of S1619 is to force you into police state controllable mega-cities and return all rural and forested lands to the wild equals environmentalism disguised as social engineering run amuck.

A surveillance society where tens of thousands of intersections, roadways, airports, rail and bus depots, parking lots, city streets, apartment complexes, schools, stadiums and shopping malls among thousands of other “public” places are under computer program “ identify and apprehend” software, have Nazi control freaks in Washington drunk with power. Oh, and buy the way, you can add to that planes, drones and government X-ray vans capable of locating weapons, drugs or supposedly, illegals in your vehicle while riding down the road as sentinels against “terrorists and patriots.” Feel better? Well, add these horrors to the list, and that mandates patriot rebellion vans to run the government beasts out of town.

The real time consideration by Congress of placing your retirements, 401s, IRA accounts and any other personally held financial instruments under governmental control and confiscation is another justification to grab the reins of this runaway, grind it to a halt, and send the diseased horses to the dog food factory.

Have these examples among thousands, given you a picture of how far we have moved toward a true governmental police state? Are these few enough to convince you that it is NOW time to rebel?

By definition, to rebel is to say no emphatically and not budge from that position. (Revolution, by definition, is sudden or violent change). You draw the line “after a long train of abuses” and tell the government at all levels NO. No more dictatorship, no more laws, rules or regulations. Not one inch more. And if you try, then we move from rebellion to outright insurrection or revolution as outlined in our Declaration of Independence. You know, the little letter sent to King George on July 4, 1776.

This was the signed statement by men brave enough to stop the British governmental abuses and begin an armed confrontation and an all out battle to establish a free nation. Rebellion draws the final line. Insurrection, if required, takes them out and sets up new guards protecting freedom with the use of armed force by the citizens themselves. Rebellion is both verbal and actionable by withholding taxes, resistance in carrying out unconstitutional laws, defying governmental edicts, and grinding to a halt “illegal business as usual” by authorities who don’t give a damn what you think or desire. To not rebel at this point is to say in effect, I agree and support what government is doing in its present form and all of the illegal agendas that government is creating. The same is true of the court system. It is corrupt beyond repair. People must either disengage from the court system or disobey judges who restrict the jury’s deliberational freedom and then acquit the accused based on a court’s application of unconstitutional law or edicts. Freedom by acquittal and nullification of bad law itself is a patriot’s greatest weapon and responsibility. It is mostly unused because juries refuse to take the reins of power from the judge in the jury room and effect the final say as is their right and obligation to a free society.

The threshold question is this: If you are forced to pay a levy (taxes) to a corrupted government, are you obeying Romans 13? That Scriptural invective refers clearly to obeying a moral and upright government. God would not have you obey an unlawful government in which you were complicit and guilty of financing the sin and moral destruction of that nation—let alone in a state that sponsors abortion and constant war. Do not fall for that one. Is it not bondage—involuntary servitude—in fact slavery if you are forced to support and “pay” for an immoral government? Ask yourself the same question in reverse. Explain to everyone’s satisfaction how under these conditions, you are NOT a slave by anyone’s definition, if you are forced to support and contribute extortion money to make it happen.

If all the other descriptions in this essay are true, or you recognize and accept that they exist as given, then how can you not be at rebellion’s front door this very moment? Don’t complain that I am causing a problem where none exists. Don’t look for any excuse to avoid the painfully obvious conditions under which you, your family, and all other citizens in this nation find themselves confronting. You have been conditioned to accept each of these rebellion worthy situations as “normal” and part of an evolving social activist “democracy.” Therefore, under that justification, a little change can be expected and, not to worry, it is all for your greater good and the world’s expectation of compliant, guilt ridden, historically ignorant, Americans anyway. The Supremely stupid Supreme Court is now siding more and more with world opinion as to the legality of American’s actions rather than the dictates of our own Constitution. Other courts are giving credence to the demands of Muslim hate filled Quran based Sharia law. Rebel, rebel, REBEL!

In a nutshell, that is why we are where we are right now. We have been worn slick by flim flam men and women of the worst kind. Good is evil and evil is good. The “looking glass world” of Alice and the rabbit has taken us straight to the Queen of Hearts and he is the President and his evil court.

When precious friends and long contributing watchmen like Steve Quayle, Hawk Talon, Chuck Baldwin, and other warriors in the trenches pull up the tent and trek to the mountains, “then look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.” God speed and protect these wise men and their families.

I pray the same for you and your families.

Liz and I are no longer prepping. Our job is done. We no longer beg family and others to listen and prepare. We will, for a while, continue to train groups across the country and at our home. However; generally speaking, the last cries from the wall by this “Watchman” have been sounded. My radio show, “Voices from the Heartland” is on each Sunday from 2-3pm CDT on the Republic Broadcasting Network (rbn.org) and we are giving our final efforts to get people on board before it’s too late.

Our very popular Castle Defense I-II video series and Castle Defense III, the 400 page manual for personal training, have been reduced in price one last time to absolute cost (www.theheartlandusa.com) so you may get yours if you wish. We will faze them out when current stocks are gone. We will do no more. It is time to face down the enemy and begin our rebellion. The direction of this battle will be determined by how the police state responds to a final position of no more, no way. From that point forward, we will follow the example of our nation’s founders and the leading of God’s Holy Spirit. End of story.

We have held steady long enough……………...

Nah, no such thing as too powerful, not in these circumstances. If anything, they should be the ones staying awake at night scared shitless, not us.

Right, especially if we use the government's own playbook against them.

When the goob entrapped Randy Weaver they didn't just pick him up, they assassinated his children, and wife.

When the goob got their panties in a twist over David Koresh legally buying a Barrett Light 50, they didn't arrest him during one of his trips to town, they burned the women and children alive.

Going head-to-head with the government/police state is suicide, you target their families. Politicians have children that become ever more virulent politicians. Ron/Rand Paul is a good example. Rand Paul is a PC-infected, rabid zioNutter, very much unlike his father.

Cops have children who become cops, or worse yet, politicians. Nits make lice. Stop it at the source and people will think twice about becoming tyrants.

I remember reading that Lao Tzu quote in your tag line from reading back when I was in college many years ago.

As Peter Drucker went out of his way to tell us decades ago a mark of the modern world is that power is concentrated. The federal government controls all of the national guards or state militia today. The people who rule us rule with an iron fist compared to the king of england back in 1775.

PSUSA! you're not exactly the kind of person who I take seriously. insult all you want.

if George Washington were alive today, I think he would want to build an army and march against the washington government. But IMHO he wouldn't do it. he would think about the consequences to his family and how powerful those who rule are. He would protect his interests. Just my opinion.

This is kind of like a totalitarian police state type of country. There's people who monitor our discussions, our communications are not even safe. Americans are isolated one by one and dealt with, and it is our fellow Americans working for the government, building careers and doing it.

The washington government will be destroyed when foreign nations send armies here to kill us. this is our unfortunate fait IMHO.

If we were to rebel, then we'd need a communications network that a substantial portion of Americans would trust. We can't even accomplish that. Delusion and insanity runs rampant in our people.

The self-styled ‘Anglo Avenger’, believed to be a Galway based businessman furious at the bank, struck again yesterday morning by driving a cement truck right up to the gates of Leinster House on the first day of the new Dáil term.

The cement truck emblazoned with the words “Toxic Bank” and “All Politicians Should Be Sacked” used in this latest incident is the same vehicle left abandoned outside the Anglo Irish Bank in Forster Street, Galway, last April causing major traffic disruption.

a problem is that our mass media is 100% pro-government propaganda. During the revolution we had the ability to print up newspapers and get americans to take them seriously. Our people are so brainwashed today, so indoctrinated in anti- Americanism even in our schools, so bullied, so dependent on their jobs and paychecks, so deluded and stupid, that it doesn't do any good to talk to them. During the revolution people could print stuff up in secret and distribute it. Today you can create material and circulate it, but only very few will pay attention. during the revolution people sat around pubs/bars and read newspapers of different points of view and had discussions, they were open- minded compared to today.

there are so many americans who will do anything for the military and intelligence type jobs they have.

The last argument I have against revolution is that I think that if god wants us to successfully rebel, then he would lead us in our hearts and mind to this and he would make our people more receptive to ideas that work against the people who rule us. Our people are voluntarily slaves in their own minds and we cannot change that. we can't even keep the kids from getting shots that cause autism.

during the revolution people had farms and a degree of independence. its not like that any more.

No. The ideas advanced in the article are pure poppycock and claptrap. There is no revolution in the USA even on the distant horizon of the political spectre that the article attempts to discuss.

Without leaders, there can be no rebellion. Even the author of the article says he is lame and is ducking out.

Attempts were initially made to reverse the truck from the gates but it could not be moved as the brake lines and electric cables had been cut. It is understood that the windows of the truck were covered in metal grids, the cabin doors welded shut, and that the driver escaped through a hatch in the roof before gardai climbed on top of the truck to arrest him. A specialist towtruck arrived under Garda escort to remove the vehicle just before 10am.

I'd say the man was a little miffed at the banking house and politicians. But, damn if he didn't take action at his own expense!

Otherwise, they just take down one lone nut-case at a time.

It is much harder to take down one lone nut case with good sniping abilities than it is an organized group where all members are known by the FBI. The Washington D.C. sniper showed just how hard it was to take him down. With an army of single snipers all throughout the country the elite will have nowhere to hide. They could be taken out at any time and they know it, so they have decided to cast the blame on politicians when the shit hits the fan to save themselves.

by longevity, our empire is no empire 0

There are several long-lived empires and/or civilizations whose reigns span several hundreds of years to millenia.

The Egyptian Empire stretched from roughly 3150 BCE to 30 BCE, making it the longest lived at 3130 years. It’s difficult to isolate any single reason for their longevity. The early tribes of ancient Egypt perfected wealth-making skills in pottery and copper, as well as animal husbandry. This meant better quality of life and accumulation of citizens. It also guaranteed trade.

The evolution of trade routes and the establishment of Memphis created a strong foundation for the civilization. They were wealthy, and developed excellent rapport with neighboring governments. The development of a central ruler, strong military, and a flexible system of religious practice kept order. They flourished.

Over the course of the empire there were intermediate periods, however, where the governments collapsed and the empire was weak. This is where the debate comes in as to the ’longest-lived’

The Mayan civilization is probably the longest lived without significant intermediate failures - their reign stretched from approximately 2000 BCE to 900 AD - a reign of 2900 years. The basis for the strength of their empire is a strong centralized ruler, technological advances, diversification and a formidable fighting ability.

The reason for the failure of the Mayan civilization is unknown, but it is suspected that there was a disastrous climate change.

The Byzantines enjoyed a 1,000 year reign, with weak periods, and some say that they lived off of the remnants of the dead Roman empire.

The Chinese empire began at approximately 250 BCE, and some argue that it continues to this day, although popular opinion dates the end of the empire with the end of imperial China in 1368. There are more modern texts which declare the fall as late as the early 20th century. Source(s): ASKVILLE by AMAZON

I've also read that their population simply outgrew the ability to feed itself regardless of climate change.

They died out from a lack of school nurses versed in venipuncture.

I'd say the man was a little miffed at the banking house and politicians. But, damn if he didn't take action at his own expense!

He did good, no doubt! :)

With an army of single snipers all throughout the country

We definitely have that. Millions of them.

As long as the word gets out to take one shot, and one shot ONLY, then slip away to do it again, FedGov and its jack-booted thugs will be whipped in short order. No last stands with an AR-15, that won't win it.

I've never understood why those goofs were targeting innocent civilians, instead of targets of value in deecee.

Because the two semi-retarded 'groids weren't the shooters, they were patsies.

The actual shooters in the white van (not the Chevy Caprice of the 'groids) were professionals (probably mossad) setting up yet another false flag attack on the country.

Ever notice how the shootings stopped as soon as they accidently waxed an FBI goob?
