Yes, the people given the best opportunity for living free have "CHOSEN" slavery by participating in their economic slave SYSTEM.
Starting with the STATE CERTIFICATION of Birth (registration) and continuing into every economic facet of life, a government consisting of Banks, Corporations, and Media Mind Control tie down the free man with red tape like Gulliver.
The only non-violent means of ending your slavery and that of the country is to quit participating with their system in any way, shape or form.
Violence will be the ultimate outcome because the psychopathic parasitic slave masters will suffer withdrawals causing them to lash out like a heroin addicted fiend ... that's when we have the opportunity to put their minions out of their misery.
We really need to get cracking on developing an alternative to what is clearly the historical preference of slavery.
There's a lot of technology out here now that can help us I'd bet. Man is a social animal (not talking politics, just generally) and we will always need to interact with each other. Abandoning the current system in toto will require some other means for us to communicate and interrelate with each other. Since "they" are so fond of "shadow governments" and such, maybe we should consider laying the foundations of a "shadow society".
