Right; however, the Constitution has enough fuzzy language to allow the ruling class to mask the breach. We know intuitively that the breach has occurred a number of times, but we don’t have a mechanism to confirm the breach. And indeed, for different people the breach occurred at different times. Some think it is with the introduction of the income tax, some — abortion laws, some — gun laws, and to some there is no breach at all.

Instill uncertainty in the minds of the people, so they will always be unsure if they are going to break the 'law'. Raise their anxiety level, so they will strive to rid themselves of all forbidden thoughts.

I don't recall who said that, but it's a similar type of fuzziness - in the other direction.

The consolidation of the United States of America into a totalitarian (not merely authoritarian) police state depends on that inherent dissonance in perception on the part of the people, and conflicting decision points that create the necessary civil and cultural noise that masks the quiet boots of the State.

We hear the stomp of the jackboot, and the marching thunder of the officers and their men, but rarely the quiet step or turn on a heel as the Leviathan advances with regularity.

Shrug.

They have a plan to ride the tiger of the American people.

That is not the same as riding the tiger.

And when a system doesn't have a floor, if it breaks you just keep falling.

This problem of the tyrant State is certainly manageable. Patriots and determined free men should not despair; remember that despair is the grandest achievement of the Adversary.

Overthrowing the tyrant is not rocket science, after all. Mostly it just takes will.
