"All it takes for evil to prosper, is for good men to do nothing"  Robert Kenedy

 

Therefore, I must no longer remain silent in the face of such evil as is encircling our nation.  For some of you the thoughts I am about to reveal will come as a shock.  To few know me well enough to have heard me state such bold beliefs.  For that I must appologize to all Americans and our progeny.

To begin, Law School taught me one thing;  our political and legal system is irreperably fucked.  The system is broken and will never be fixed by politicians, lawyers, lobbyists, beaurocrats, businessmen, war heros, God, Santa Clause, or aliens (be they from Mexico or Zoran).  When Benjamin Franklin was asked whether we had been given a Democracy or a Monarchy he replied, "A Republic, if you can keep it."  At that we have failed.  Long ago "We The People" gave up our soveriegn right to govern ourselves in order to have security, in both military and economic concerns.  We allowed Government to grow beyond the reach of the common man in order to accept a handout to pull our economy from the depths of the Depression.  We allowed a War Machine to be created outside of the controll of the Civillian leadership to be formed to end the evils of Nazi Facism.  As, in my humble opinion, our last non-traitorous president Eisenhower warned us about when, in his farewell address he warned of the growing military industrial complex.  We were warned!

Now it is probably too late.  Nonetheless, I will state a few facts in my case for declaring the ENTIRETY of the US Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government to be Traitors to the US Constitution and People.

1)  Elections that have been "won" through fraudulent means including but not limited to:  Supreme Court interference in elections outside their constitutionaly sanctioned power, corrupt state election officials, rigged electronic voting machines, media collusion in violation of the freedom of the press, illegal funding schemes, and LIARS preying on the ignorance of the populace.

2)  Wars illegally waged without Constitutional authority due to: the lack of profesional politicians to stand for the rule of law and demand answers to tough questions, falsified "intelligence", (if you go as far back as Iran Contra) illegal funding schemes, and Liars preying on the fears and panic of a missinformed populace.

3)  Looting of "Our" Treasury and Resources in more forms than can be completely listed here, but including:  Leasing of energy rights on BLM land for pennies on the dollar, falsified accounting leading to such disasters as Enron and Worldcom, Deregulation allowing the proverbial wolf to guard the henhouse which created our current mortgage crises, banking crises, and soon to come stock market collapse etc. etc..

I could go on.  I simply do not have the time, energy, or motivation.  I have simply a point that needs made...

This did not ALL occur under George W. Bush, or Neo-Cons, or Republicans.  Yes, GW is GUILTY, as are his partners in the immediate acts Karl Rove, Dick Chenney, Paul Wolfowitz and so on.  The Clintons (yes, both of them) are also Guilty, as is George Herbert Walker Bush, and my once hero Ronald Regan, and every member of Congress in either house on either side of the Aisle who has not stood up and actively decried "Treason".  For their inaction, they are guilty as well.

The U.S. Constitution gives us the sentence for Treason.  DEATH.  So, and this is where I hope my 1st Amendment Right may still protect me from a government I surely fear, I must state my personal beliefs in as blunt a way as I may muster.  While I do not actively voment violent revolution and will not cary out acts of violence or encourage acts of violence to be performed by anyone against any individual or group of individuals;  our electoral process no longer functions and our current government are traitors subject to the death penalty.  If you want to know your vote counts use a bullet not a ballot.  If you are not ready to rise up in revolt, you are not informed, and, in the words of Thomas Jefferson "if you would sacrifice liberty for security you deserve neither."

I have no personal desire to act on my own thoughts, primarily because I see no light at the end of the tunnel, no return to our Democratic Republic, just anarchy and armageddon.  My recomendation is simple, watch the signs for the end is near, own land that is viable for farming, be ready for a collapse that makes 1929 look silly, and pray that I am very very wrong.

One more quote before I go:  "I can skin a buck and run a trott line, a country boy can survive."  Hank Williams Jr.

Good night and good luck,

An interesting read, as always.

But think ghandi vs the brits as an alternate case study. and did kicking the brits out help or hurt the cause?

Thing is, when everyone is starving to death a hunger strike isn't gonna make much of a stir now is it? I know what your saying though. As I pointed out I don't see the light at the end of that tunnel, 100 years of infighting and warlords controlling divided territories doesn't sound like much of a way to reclaim Democracy.

Hell, ain't none of it gonna stop us from boating, right.

Don't work too hard brother,

"I submit to you that if a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live. ~MLK"
No light at the end of the tunnel can be one option. Or you can see whatever you want at the end of the tunnel and strive for that. Giddy Up!

I did not know that quote...

Love it!

Where is our MLK? Our JFK? Our Jefferson or Franklin? Hell, at this point I'd settle for an Alexander Hamilton standing up against the evils of what he defined as "incorporated monetary interests."

I would certainly be willing to die, it's the living through Hell part I'm not ready for.

Love you much. Safe travels.

"They can make their own whiskey and their own wine too, ain't too many things these old boys can't do. A country boy can survive..."

If the shit hits the fan, you know where I'll be. hahaha

LOL

Well, I woke up this morning. Guess that's a start. Probably not a good sign though that I would be more inclined to revolutionary acts for my own bennefit (a.k.a. taking out a dam or flume line in order to get year round Big Water) than to follow my own recomendations for changing the political power structure. I think that means my idealism is gone and only the synicism remains...

"Well I live back in the woods you see, just my woman and my kids and my dogs and me. A country boy can survive."

Speaking of dogs; Domino is 12 and has a tumor on his heart. He isn't expected to make 13 but still has a smile and a toy and a bit of a jog in his step when someone comes to the door. As long as he shows that kind of joy I'll be keping him around. This year has kinda felt like living through a country song a few times over...

Live love & Love life!
Come play if you get the chance.

Sorry Bro..........while I enjoyed your blog the correct answer is ?

"All it takes for evil to prosper, is for good men to do nothing" Edmond Burke not Kennedy....

Thanks for the info. This quote has gotten around though. I found it attributed to several different people in different contexts and forms. I chose to quote Kennedy for what that says about what happens to those "good men" as they oppose our entrenched world leaders. It does seem as though Edmond Burke is the person originally credited with the quote. I had to look it up to begin with, originally thought it was "All it takes for evil to prosper, is for good men to remain silent." Thanks for the correction.
