Resistance See other Resistance Articles Title: A Majority of Imbeciles (Larken Rose) Dear Subscriber, Some people have observed, and rightly so, that I have been more caustic lately in my anti-statist rantings. Several have suggested that, while such anger at tyranny is justified, I should tone it down a bit in order to win more converts. And they have a good point, IF converting the masses was my goal. However, it's not anymore. I have seen enough from the masses of asses in this country that I have no hope whatsoever in the majority ever having a clue, or ever doing the right thing. In the battle for the hearts and minds of the American people, the truth is absolutely doomed. The people are stupid, and will always be won over by the empty promises of security and free stuff offered by the tyrants. That is one reason (of many) why the whole notion of "democracy" is bogus: it is the mechanism whereby a majority of duped morons can, without a twinge of guilt, forcibly impose their stupidity on the rest of us. Luckily, changing the world for the better is always accomplished in spite of the masses, not because of them. When I look at history, I don't see many instances of logic and reason winning over the general public. On the contrary, I see example after example of the majority being short-sighted, idiotic, and self- destructive, while a small minority fights against them to achieve each little inch of progress. And most of the time, the stupid masses condemn and destroy those few people able to think outside the box. Here is one little example of why I believe that making the majority love freedom is a lost cause. In my last message, I sent a link to a video of an American fascist in Utah tasering a motorist-- not for running away, or attacking anyone, but for asking (rightfully so) "What is wrong with you?" to the power-happy psycho with a badge. Here is the link for the video again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMaMYL_shxc After I posted that, there was an online discussion about it somewhere, where someone asked whether the officer was justified in tasering the guy. While some people had enough of a grip on reality to answer "no," here are a few excerpts from what some of your other fellow Americans had to say: 1) "The officer had every right to taser, the smart mouth, out of control punk. Officers have be in control at all times, their job is dangerous enough as it is." 2) "The guy was definitely in the wrong for not cooperating. So at this point seeing the guy disobey direct orders while the officer is outnumbered places that officer in reasonable fear of aggression & in the RIGHT for using non lethal force." (How does one person "outnumber" another person? Or was he talking about the wife still in the car? And the guy showed no hint whatsoever that he was going to attack the fascist.) 3) "Motorists who are a threat to PDs should be tasered." There was no threat, though there was a bit of attitude: failure to timidly bow to a control-freak Nazi, and worse yet, verbally commenting (in a relative polite manner) on what a psycho the cop was being. Even one person who ultimately agreed that the fascist went too far said that "The driver certainly should have known better than to not do exactly what the officer said." And one self-professed fence- sitter cited the motorist's sin as this: "The guy was given instructions and he didn't follow them." So there you have it. Failing to blindly obey "authority," no matter what the command is, all by itself is justification to have violence inflicted upon you. Notice that even the fascist- apologists don't claim that the motorist attacked anyone, or tried to run, but that he DIDN'T FOLLOW ORDERS, which is what the fascist actually charged him with. ("O'er the land of the freeeeee.....!") That is one little example of why I have no hope of ever converting the masses of asses into being pro-freedom. They worship "government" so deeply and profoundly that they are incapable of seeing their delusional, cult-like superstition for what it is. Having had political debates with literally thousands of people over the years, I can tell you that for 95% of the people, it's a complete waste of breath trying to explain the moral superiority of a pro-freedom philosophy. And, in the dozens of "converts" I have personally helped to "corrupt" over the years, I see no indication that using more "civil" wording would have made any difference. As I explained in a recent message about "inappropriate civility," for one to describe what the fascists do WITHOUT vehement condemnation is to give the message that their point of view is equally valid. It's not. It's horribly destructive, anti-human, and evil. I will call thugs and fascists what they are, and NOT use the euphemistic labels like "law enforcer" and "police officer." I have no intention of helping with the state-worship epidemic by using its delusional phraseology. I refuse to bend my own comments in a way which might give any respect and legitimacy to the god-complex lunatics who wear the label of "government." What these people advocate, and what they do on a daily basis, is initiate violence against people who have committed neither force nor fraud. And everyone who legitimizes "government" violence is an accomplice. Yes, I wish most Americans liked freedom, but they don't, and they never will. If you prefer, you can characterize them as merely "misguided," rather than personally responsible for the evil they advocate. Either way, they are the problem. I have no intention of making them feel better--of not offending them--while pointing out the inherently evil nature of their belief system. "The Matrix is a system Neo, and that system is our enemy. When you are inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters: the very minds we are trying to save. Until we do, these people are part of that system and that makes them our enemies. You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged and many are so hopelessly dependent on the system, they'll fight to protect it." (Morpheus, from "The Matrix") Amen, brother Mo'. Sincerely, Larken Rose

HAHAHAHAHA That's EXACTLY what I was thinking as I read the article... That so PERFECTLY describes how I feel!!!!! Wish I'd thought of those words. NOW, having said that - did anyone catch Michael Badnarik's show this morning? I don't know if it was a re-run, but there was a caller who had the most BRILLIANT idea on HOW to turn this mess around. And the beauty is the idea uses THEIR democratic nonsense AGAINST them (sort of). Consider for a minute the impact of this! A chance to not only get someone REAL in the White House, but at the same time to replace the traitors occupying the Halls of Congress with a majority of other people that ARE ON THE SAME PAGE AS RP!!!!! I've been thinking that even if RP managed to get elected, he would be very limited in his ability to WORK with Congress (or the other way around). That he would be basically relegated to signing EOs and rescinding previous EOs... THIS idea however could produce REAL change!!! Something to think about. Hell, even if RP doesn't manage to take office, it's STILL a good idea - if it managed to make an ACTUAL CHANGE in Congress is a step in the right direction...
I'm hosting a site for guy with an idea like that. It is called www.paulcongress.com I don't know how far he has gotten on the design yet, but I saw some previews and it is looking great. It should be up soon. The preview url is www.paulcongress.com/sindex.html
Great idea and nice looking site - thanks.
