Some of the HTML formatting is a little off - translation artefacts, I suppose.
I'm not going to convince kool-aid drinkers or Move-on.org types. This is a warning for them and a wake-up cal lfor everyone else.
The worst they can do is laugh me off the stage. I'll can only say that I at least tried. Truth is, no one's going to be laughing about much of anything in the near future. Time will tell...
These Tea Parties on like, Wednesday, June whatever, or Tuesday, August something-- not so much.
FYI. This should reach a wider audience.

Excellent!
Please read Noumenon's speech here and pass it on to everyone you know. (Link either here on FR, or to my site above)
Many are not comfortable with this direct talk, but it is far past time for it. We need only look around to know this.
All Americans should understand the truths Noumenon speaks of...they, along with our faith in God in Heaven who has granted us our rights, are the kernal to maintaining and defending our liberty.
They always have been. We as a people forget (and have forgottent them) at our absolute mortal peril.
And, any clear thinking American who has any understanding and love for the liberty of this nation and what it is based upon, by whatever means they came by it, understands that that peril is upon us.
Today, though many do not want to believe it or comtemplate it, we live in a time, when the truth of our nation's heritage, the principles upon which its true liberty is based and the commitment required to maintain that liberty, are not only being denied and ignored, they are being villafied and set up to be viewed as "wrong thinking" and seditious. Ultimately, this thinking, particularly since it has become the basis for the "politically correct" dogma and propoganda of this nation's major governmental, political and media institutions, will lead to conditions similar to those which existed in Nazi Germany and any other totalitarian state.
We can see this all around us, whether it's labeled "gun nuts", "right wing extremists", "Christian fanatics", "homophobes", etc. the terminology itself is engineered to degenerate and disenfranchise any who voice their views in favor of the fundamental moral and philosphical principles that underpin our liberties. These efforts to marginalize and ultimately criminalize the truth of our heritage, our way of life, many of our rights and the foundational moral values that lay at their core, are clear.
As noumenon stated, where they lead is also clear.
That reality is taught to us by history and history is a harsh and direct school master. If we the people do not break out of the cycle before both our actual and effectual power is completely negated...well, just ask our founders, or ask the European Jews of the early 1940's, or ask the folks in the "Soviet Empire" or dissidents in Red China under Mao ... or ask the youth of Tienamen Square what the results will be.
The result of letting these conditions go unanswered is either bloody revolution or genocide
bttt
Thanks for the repeat. I’ll be sending it to all of my friends.
It is possible we(america) have exactly the gov't that represents us..
America generally may have become corrupt..
And except America repents of the corruption.. worse may be in order..
What we see(politically) may be "the start" and not the "end"..
The "truth" (whatever it is) MUST be faced..
America may not be able to handle the truth..
Bloody revolution or genocide.
J.R.R Tolkien was one of our modern myth makers. His Lord of the Rings was not just a fairy tale, but an attempt to re-cast the the great questions of our time in terms of legend and myth. This quote seems so appropriate today:
Where is the horse and the rider?
Where is the horn that was blowing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like wind in the meadow.
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
How did it come to this?
How… did it come… to this?

Thanks for the ping!
That’s great. I plan to be there and at the Tea Party. What are the times?
Don’t know just yet. I’m sure that the times will get publishes as we get closer to the event.
I’ll just talk to whoever’s running the show and hopefully they’ll allow me to speak. Won’t take more than 5 or 6 minutes to deliver this.
Wonder how many lists I’ll be on after I do this...
I'd like to read this, with your permission.
Please do. We ignore history at our peril. Glad to hear that you’re doing what you can to keep the interest alive. Once you’ve attended an Appleseed event, you’ll be able to give a mini-lesson in Dangerous Old Men, and how they helped to make the day on April 19th, 1775.
Great speech.
Pass it on folks and Give the speech, or a varient there in, at your local Tea Party on July 4th. It’s time. . .
I keep thinking what would Ayn Rand say today about the bailouts, horrendous tax rates, government takeover of business, illegals, takeover of health care and the Tsars? . . . + about twenty other things, but you get the drift. I wish she could “wake up” have a crash course on the news and do a 2 hour TV interview, or radio guest show. I guess I know about what she would say. .
PING!
Face it: you, Jeff Head, and the rest of us are probably already on them.
Thanks for the ping!
