I visited the rally after the march, as a spectator, hoping to maybe bump into someone I knew from years gone by. There were many, many people there both departing and arriving (both directions) when I got there at about 12:45. I spent about an hour there and walked at least a good mile or more before I headed back to my hotel on the other side of the river.
Nothing short of massive non compliance (no one to collect tolls, repair downed power lines, truck milk and bread to local stores, etc.,) will force the arrogant "molders of public opinion" to acknowledge that something is wrong in the hinterland.
And that is exactly what the elites fear. Their entire hold over the body politic, as they suck it dry, is fear and manipulation. Their numbers are too small to actually impose their tyranny by force, at this point, so they rely on Psychiatrically devised mind control programs of various kinds. Since most of those tactics rely upon the subject not becoming aware of what is going on they have to minimize and marginalize resistance via manipulation. If their minions suddenly realized what was actually going on they would be virtually powerless over night. That is just how fast their empire of the mind can, and eventually will, fall. The battle at that point will be to hold the society together long enough to resuscitate the patient without radical surgery.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C. S. Lewis

Then maybe, just maybe, that should be the next step, especially if they ramrod through this communism behind closed doors like they're sniveling about even as I type this?
You know, all of the producers, taking a "strike week" vacation, all at one time?
That's another weapon we have on our side. By and large, we're the productive class. If a bunch of whiny socialists threaten to strike, nobody notices. If the producers of the world flip the bird and sit at home a week, the ship of state comes to a screeching halt.
Something to consider. I'm thinking this belongs under "I need to find a way to organize this". :)
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

Exactly.

I've posted repeatedly that at the height of their "campaign of tax terror" the IRS/DOJ brought no more than 50 tax trials to fruition each year nationwide, or about one per state.
And, yet the fear mongers come on websites like this one and say "BOOGA BOOGA! Pay YOUR taxes or the IRS will throw ya in jail!"
And, if the govt tried a Draconian crackdown then jurors (some of who are tax cheats which is why the IRS needs more computers and agents according to them!) would go rogue even more than they do now, and just as with Prohibition it would be the end of "The Law That Never Was!"
Right now they can still sift out a pool of 22 perspective jurors who are obvious state worshipers in large metro areas about once a year. You know, people who are beholden to the govt and who consume more taxes than they ever paid. But, it's getting increasingly more difficult to impanel juries for any reason these days. And, if the IRS/DOJ tried to realize their dream of tax tyranny they'd soon be forced to seat knowledgeable (i.e. Fully Informed) people on juries. And that would be the death knell for the G_d-cursed Federal Reserve Tribute Tax.
This event was non violent, but I can assure all here violence will come as sure as the sun rises in the East. It's been inevitable for decades. Arm up, get supplies in, and draw your family close.
Right you are Jethro. I side with you on this one. TPTB outta fear of losing their control over us will fire the first shot. They are working overtime to send the next disaster our way. They have all the tanks, the military, and the nukes and germ warfare weapons. They have proved to us that they will use them against us as they did on 9-11-2001.
Their taking away our freedoms, our money, and voiding our Constitution incrementally is a way for them to measure our resolve. We are just about at the boiling point. It's not a matter of if, but when.
I read a great article yesterday that said that DEM REPs are finally sweating re-election and they won't dare vote for it.
Every town hall meeting in every state ends up as a torches & tarpots parade, and because there's nothing left to give away to seniors (after Bush's Medicare prescription drug perk-what's left but a million bux worth of free stem cells treatments per senior?) the reps know that they could be doing heavy lifting in the rat race with the rest of us after the next election.
Any attempt to take from seniors and share with the rest of America will result in failed incumbencies, so the house may soon be trapped in a snare of its own design! Even if they don't vote for ObamaCare, they may get booted just because people don't like the arrogance that congress has repeatedly displayed of late.
It's up to us to start as many rumors as we can that will upset seniors. You know, when you have the attention of some oldsters say things like, "I heard Obama wants to include inner city children in social security and send them half a pension check each month!"
Let the seniors figure out where that half of a check will come from with no help from you! ;)
After looking at this time lapse camera (3.5 hours) I revise my estimate. There is close to one million people there.
It's probably only one hundred of Ron Paul's supporters going 'round and 'round the same way they skewed the internet polls in his favor after all the presidential debates!
"Okay guys, spread out and try to look more numerous! Take two steps forward and one step back and you'll be photographed in three places two seconds apart!'
Honestly, unless there is a third party movement from this, if it is called "The Tea Party", or what ever, I'm not paying much attention.
The talking heads on the radio are pushing the answer to be the Republican Party.

If America is destroyed, it may be by Americans who salute the flag, sing the national anthem, march in patriotic parades, cheer Fourth of July speakers - normally good Americans who fail to comprehend what is required to keep our country strong and free - Americans who have been lulled into a false security (April 1968).---Ezra Taft Benson, US Secretary of Agriculture 1953-1961 under Eisenhower
Look at the bright side Mark. We need the system to collapse and that has begun. The economy is a joke, and there are now at least 2 or 3 versions of America, so the balkanization process has begun. Yes, I'd love a 3rd party to evolve, and if you fear the Rs getting out in front of this, don't fret. If they do it will peter out quicker than poorly dosed Viagra addled hard on.
Honestly, unless there is a third party movement from this, if it is called "The Tea Party", or what ever, I'm not paying much attention.
Honestly, if it turns into a third party movement, I'll stop paying attention. Get this: It is mathematically impossible for a third party to be viable in a winner-take-all election system, such as the one we have in the US. Got that? 2 + 2 = 4, and third parties cannot be viable. Both statements are true with the same level of strength and certainty.
Yes, I know. The Republican Party displaced the Whig party. The operative word, however, is replaced. That's not just an accident of history. It was mathematically required.
The question, then, is what are the chances of a new party replacing one of the existing ones? A rough estimate would have to be once every 235 years, based on US history. Not good odds. It's much more likely that a determined group of activists might be able to take over an existing party from within. That's happened many times in US history.

Then at the same time, citizens need to withdraw and quit participating in the fraud of the economy and the political system.

You are probably right about replacing a party, but change from within at this point, I don't think will happen.

I keep thinking of all the Gerald Celente 'tubes and interviews I've listened to over the past year. He has been dead on and I suspect people will begin to suspend participation. Saturday was an enormous step toward that possibility.
Look at all those racists. Obummer should have dropped napalm on them to put them in their place.

That is pretty much true. The laws regulating who and how someone gets on the ballot have been rigged in favor of the existing Republicrat Party. If you are not a Republicrat the hurdles are so high that it is virtually impossible for a 3rd Party Candidate to get on enough ballots to win - even if 100% voted for it.

This is why Ron Paul decided to stay in the Republican Party.
Quit spending and buying. Quit borrowing and applying for credit. Stop paying debts. File foreclosures or bankruptcy. General strike.
I think the most devastating would be spending and credit. Most citizens can participate. The entire system depends on ever expanding debt and credit, without this, it crumbles.

If you think the "System" crumbling would result in more liberty you are smoking some fine weed my friend.
If conservatives called a "general strike" and the economy fell apart, you'd see a socialist dictator in place in a month. American's can't go a week without TV, do you think they'll stand for grocery stores running out of food?
Obama would say the conservatives are trying to starve them, and will promise "Change" and take control forever.
History shows time and time again, that societies that crumble will follow a strong man who puts food on the table.
Just look at American history, the single time a significant number of Americans had to worry about starving, during the great depression, America made FDR President for life.
Nothing short of massive non compliance (no one to collect tolls, repair downed power lines, truck milk and bread to local stores, etc.,) will force the arrogant "molders of public opinion" to acknowledge that something is wrong in the hinterland.
You are insane.
Stopping society in this way so that you and others can "protest" disrupting people's lives is the dumbest idea I have heard today.
If you have a problem, take it to your leaders. Be a man for once in your life and step up.

It is perfectly legitimate to assume that the races are different in their cognitive abilities and in their willpower and accordingly are unequally suited for the task of setting up societies, and that the better races are characterized in particular by their special ability to strengthen social bonds. -- Ludwig von Mises
Not in any absolute sense. But I don't currently see any viable alternatives. I'd listen to any proposals that seem well-founded, plausible and implementable...
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

The march Saturday was called "Taxpayer March on Washington" and was organized by FreedomWorks Foundation and a coalition of other groups such as The National Taxpayers Union and The Teaparty Patriots. I think your assumption that every attendee there was a republican (McCain voter) and that the "RP Revolution has been hijacked by the forces of evil" is premature.
Also, how do you know that it wasn't Ron Paul's decision to be in Alvin, Texas this weekend rather than at the DC rally?
So, the PsyOp is to prevent that from happening. Since people are emboldened by numbers, if not principle, then the game for the media is to disparage, smear, and minimize the affect of so many people standing up against government tyranny.
Good comment.
Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.
Good. :) Seems to me the claim is only true assuming Union. There are many such winner-take-all games at different levels in the Union, and I think a local or regional third party could be successful, locally or regionally replacing one of the two primary parties. Especially secessionist.
Anti-racism is code for white genocide.

I'd say there were at least few dozen in that vid. ;-)
one thing comes to mind though,. so 2 million marched. and what the hell has changed from it?
i dont know if 'marching' is the answer? other than to build momentum and show the puppetmasters what is happening.

FreedomWorks- you mean the organization led by Dick Armey, Republican, and whose board is made of people like Steve Forbes.
So what do you suggest? That Obama gets his way without a fight?
Did you ever think that we need allies in this fight and that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?
As for me, I'll take a victory anyway I can get one.
When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bike. Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole a bike and asked him to forgive me.
