This excellent, MUST READ essay by Bill St.Clair was written in 2003 while the klintoons were in the White House. We now have folks in there who make the klintoons look like benevolent libertarians. PLEASE READ IT AND SHARE IT WITH OTHERS as, sadly, the hot water in whiich we American "frogs" now find ourselves is considerably hotter than it was 8 years ago.
I don't believe it's too strong to say that we're on the brink of a catastrophe of monumental proportions. I don't know which frightens me more: The impending disaster or that so few of us see or care that it's coming.
Another example of how effective resistance can be against a tyrant was described by Solzhenitsyn in his "Gulag Archipelago."
(Solzhenitsyn’s wisdom may be updated by simply substituting “tyrants” for “communists” (but they’re synonyms, aren’t they?). And be warned that they are EVERYWHERE.)
"...At what exact point, then, should one resist the communists?..."
"How we burned in the prison camps later thinking: what would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good‑bye to his family?
"Or if during periods of mass arrests people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang on the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand...the Organs (police) would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers...and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt."
Pretty sure that W was in the White House in ‘03.
