Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: Changing Times? In the aftermath of the September 11th, A.D. 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, a number of government spokesmen crowed that “this changes everything.” What they meant was that, in light of the 911 attacks, we could no longer afford the protections of the Constitution and must instead embrace a growing police state. Although the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda was officially blamed for the attacks, much of America still believes that 911 was a false flag operation conducted by, or with the complicity, of our own government. Regardless of whoever is truly responsible for 911, the resulting police state (and correlative distrust for government) continued to grow for the next 13 years. A.D. 2013 was especially scary as numerous domestic government agencies were exposed as having ordered over 2 billion rounds of ammunition, plus rifles, handguns, body armor and even submachine guns. It was virtually impossible to explain these purchases except as evidence that the US government was preparing for violent conflict with the American people. The forces of fascism were either on the march or terrified by growing public distrust. However, in the midst of our growing police state, a number of events took place in the past five or six weeks that seem surprising when taken individually and almost astounding when taken together. My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys First, in April, Cliven Bundy and his supporters withstood a threatened assault by the Bureau of Land Management. Most Americans expected Bundy to receive a dose of the same “shock and awe” that the almighty government gave the Branch Davidians. But Bundy got away with it—at least for now. In a nation where reports are increasingly common of people being beaten, wounded, jailed or even killed by law enforcement officers . . . in a nation that many believe is fast-becoming an overt police state . . . . Cliven Bundy and his supporters faced off against armed government agents—and the government backed down. Pretty amazing. Almost inexplicable. Supreme “Revolt”?!! Second, (also in April) Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia delivered a speech to the University of Tennessee College of Law. Note that we’re talking about a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. This is one of the highest offices of our judicial system. Those who occupy such office are expected to be masters of language, prudent, reticent and extremely unlikely to accidentally make radical statements in public. During his speech in Tennessee, Justice Scalia explained that it was constitutionally permissible for Congress to impose income taxes on citizens. However, speaking of levels of taxation, Justice Scalia added “if it [tax rates] reaches a certain point, perhaps you should revolt.” Say whut?!!

Someone should have asked the judge if it's constitutionally lawful to tax our wages.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
