[drtom] Comment on "We are ALL fed up but 90% of Americans are still walking in their sleep."

Aloha David,

I like the way you write and I tend to agree with your positions.  My heroes are the founding fathers, especially Benjamin Franklin who fought with a printing press - his prowess at swordsmanship was practiced among the ladies at the French court.  But the Republic depended on other men as well, including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, both of whom had multiple skill sets.  All were pragmatic however, and all understood that freedom isn't free. 

I tend to use physical survival skills in my analogies for specific reasons. The main one is that those skills, and the thought processes which support them have fallen into disfavor over two generations and many people believe that acting out peace and non-violence at any cost is what will lead to nonviolence being practiced by governments.   

It is impractical to physically remove the doers and shakers who plot to overtake the wealth of the rest of the world because they live in insulated worlds.  They own islands and jet airplanes and typically have no contact at all with the 'lesser people' as that scion of pulchritude and brilliance, Alan Simpson, refers to the citizenry of the United States.

In point of fact, the 'Money Masters' care little for what  a Sovereign currency looks like as long as they control it.  Europe attempted the grand experiment of the Euro and a one-world currency and that experiment is failing.  The US dollar was perfect so long as it was backed by metal and so long as we had a positive balance of trade.  Now it is worthless as well.

Once the corporate interests own the governments as well as the banks, 'taking out' individuals becomes a useless endeavor.  The US 'took out' the #3 man in ad Qaeda about once a month for over ten years and nothing changed.

What has to change is the concept among rich people that they have a divine right to the sweat equity of the rest of the world.  That can be done without a global war, but it won't  - humanity's answer is violence - because there is money in it.

If people would simply walk away from the existing political parties and develop a fast and effective solution for criminal politicians and white collar criminals - and everyone else for that matter, and vote only for independents who serve the nation because it is a duty and not a luxury, things might change.  But that won't happen because of the entitlement culture and 'no child left behind' which had the effect of making the people who didn't study or try to excel equal to the ones who did.  You get your pie whether you work for it or not.  

That cannot work.  Thus, there isn't going to be enough pie.  I have solved that in my own way by learning to make my own pie.  Other people will have to find a way that works for them, but I doubt they will pull themselves out of apathy until they run out of pie.

I am too old to care anymore and I have no family to worry about.  So I am going to spend my remaining time as an observer of the human condition and commentator of it's ultimate success or failure as I see it occurring.

I think there is more than one way to fight. I think our founding fathers fought in many ways. Some were better with the pen than they were with a gun. But no matter how one fights, the first thing in any battle is to correctly identify the enemy.

There is no doubt that the real enemies need to be taken out. The really difficult part is identifying the real enemies. These are the same faceless killers who have been around for centuries. They are primarily the international bankers. They will never be found on any battlefield. The bankers won't be in the woods coming for you. If a few survivalists go off into the weeds and manage to survive, our real enemies won't really care. In fact, they will probably love the idea that people who could really do them damage have taken themselves out of the game. If survival is your goal and only goal, then head for the weeds. Just remember you won't ever engage the enemy that way.

Somehow during the French Revolution, the international bankers remained unscathed while the heads of the nobility were taken. In the American Revolution, the international bankers were also left unscathed and immediately took steps to bring America under international banking control. As someone above mentioned, Bill Still's opus, The Money Masters, clearly pointed this out. The Money Masters ought to be on everyone's video list in order to identify and understand the real enemy. Bill's solution is a sovereign currency. Unfortunately, a sovereign currency only works for a little while until the international bankers destroy it. The permanent solution is to permanently take out The Money Masters. If any are kept alive, they will eventually return us once again to a corrupt money system.

Rather than having a survivalist mentality, what would be far more helpful for the rest of humanity and your posterity, is for those with guns and for those with weapons skills, to find a way to identify who the real enemies are and find a way to take them out. Culling the richest couple thousand of humanity would probably do wonders for the world. When you figure out how best to do that, then you will really be doing humanity and your posterity a real service.
