That, and that alone."<br /><br />If you put it in practical terms, yes, but this is but a symptom of what tyrants (and their cheer-leading enablers) really fear:<br /><br />Responsibility.<br /><br />The tyrannical looter sends others to steal from you not just out of fear of death, but so they can shift the blame when things go wrong. Be it a bloodbath like Waco, or just failing to collect enough plunder.<br /><br />The moochers who votes for the looter do so because they want you to take responsibility for their well being.<br /><br />In either case, death is just one more thing they will inevitably blame on someone else.<br /><br />So how do you deny such an enemy freedom of movement? Stop producing things for them to steal. Force them to face the responsibility of paying for Leviathan.<br /><br />If you can afford to do so, quit your job or close your business, move out to the country (if you're not already there), and produce/barter only what your family needs to live. If you're absolutely stuck in a job somewhere, do the bare minimum to not get fired and volunteer nothing which will generate new taxable revenue.<br /><br />For any threat of resistance to be credible, the best place to start would be demonstrating that we will no longer work to pay for the very system which we would be resisting.<br /><br />Who is John Galt?illspiritnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-67716996015637706672009-10-31T12:17:11.187-05:002009-10-31T12:17:11.187-05:00Even a rabbit will bare it's teeth and come at...Even a rabbit will bare it's teeth and come at it's aggressor when cornered and given no other option but to fight or die. That is the natural law. It is given by the Creator naturally wherein self-preservation and love of offspring is instinctual. It is the same with animals as it is with man. With man alone however there is the addition of charity, natural affections and official duties which impose a moral obligation to defend others as well as ourselves and our offspring. Morality therefore dictates that we must follow the unattempted actions of Solzhenitsyn's lament should such aggression come knocking at our doors. I cannot speak for others, but in this part of the country where we cling to our God and our guns, I assure you all, there is more rabbit in us than sheep. <br /><br />The boldness of these evildoers make it obvious that they believe they have the assurance of success.

Being an egotistical ass-wipe constantly fawned over by ass kissers and indulging in drinking the kool-aid with other deluded ass-wipes means being incapable of correctly assessing your threat environment, and when that happens you die.<br /><br />Hired security will only get you so much, there are only so many well trained and capable shooters out there, and their background and training is such that many of them are patriots. They got their training and experience in the service of their country because they were brought up to honor their country and way of life and are willing to put their lives on the line in its defense. Just because they move from a military environment to a higher salary job in the private sector doesn't make them any less of a patriot. The majority of the men at this level will Not obey their wannabe 'masters' orders if push comes to shove. In fact, these wannabe masters in their quest to hire the best protection have actually put themselves in dire peril as they have hired many who would gladly put the bullet in them if they ever expose themselves as being involved in an overt attempt to overthrow the US of A.<br /><br />There most assuredly are some top notch shooters out there who are willing to sell their souls for the things of this world, but they are in the minority. When folk like that are in a face off with others of equal skill they will simply fade away because they are only in it for the money and all the money in the world does them no good when, as Mike says, they are dead, and they know it.<br /><br />Mike is correct when he says if you can get the opposition's attention and make them realize the price they will have to pay is their lives, then you have altered the situation considerably. The only way they can proceed is if they believe they can successfully effect a massive pre-emptive strike and reduce the opposition to the point where they are no longer a threat. As Mike has written in Absolved, that is a very likely scenario; however, real world events such as Ruby Ridge, Waco, etc. have demonstrated the complete incompetence of these hired thugs. If they are ever faced with a real threat they will get wiped, as Mike has described so well in his book.<br /><br />There is a real chance that in the not so distant future it will come down to armed conflict in the streets. I have no doubt as to the eventual outcome, because I understand the difference between a shooter for hire and a man doing what he does for love of country. In spite of the horror of a civil war it is probably best that it comes because the entrenched criminal thugs who have controlled our country for so long can not be removed any other way. So be it.<br /><br />bacsiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-51853450750759381072009-10-31T11:20:22.095-05:002009-10-31T11:20:22.095-05:00There are valid arguments on both sides of this, t...There are valid arguments on both sides of this, the being Mike's post and the comment left by Anonymous.<br /><br />The puppet masters for the most part are the super rich, and often foreign born.
