The heroes are the hobbits. They’re the only ones not taken in and consumed by the Ring of Power.
That’s why they have to spy on us, demoralize us, screw up our computers, make it so difficult to earn a living and pay our taxes that we’ve got little time for resistance, sandbag our lawful resistance efforts such as the Tea Party, ridicule us in the media and tell law enforcement and military that we are the enemy, stock up ammunitions and tanks against us, disarm us, and keep putting up gossip candy like the Kardashians to distract the more stupid among us.
In Egypt the hobbits learned that Obama paid 8 billion to have Morsi kill innocent Egyptians so that Hamas could take over portions of Egypt close to Israel, and freedom-loving peoples of all religious persuasions (except sharia-minded Muslims) rose to the occasion and protested en masse, and their military ousted the leader who committed treason against his country.
His accomplice in the United States is out golfing and planning to bomb the secular government of Syria which Obama’s covertly-US-armed, literal-heart-eating, Christian-beheading allies have framed as using chemical weapons. The American people are mostly fine with him arming and paying the bad guys to kill innocent Egyptians and Syrians, although when asked directly 91% oppose Obama’s proposed bombing - practically an anonymous verdict, by US standards. Those who are disturbed enough with it to actually try to stop it (and get rid of the treasonous and/or foreign enemy combatant who’s taken over the country and joined the terrorist team) are being held at bay by Eric Holder who blocks criminal investigations and Congress which blocks any other kind of investigation.
I think if we want the system to fear us as they should we need to have the courage, interest, and self-respect that the Egyptians have shown. Apathy is our greatest enemy and the regime has been poisoning us with it just as surely as if they had put sarin everywhere.
If the IRS is going to hold up the Tea Party with paperwork we need to start doing the same stuff as before only not using the Tea Party label. We need to protest in front of our Congress members’ offices and in DC. We need to flood their offices with phone calls, emails, faxes, and letters. We need to hold signs in front of their faces every time they appear in public. We need to do this not to the leaders but to the timid people trying to hide in the back corner while the country is raped and devastated before their very eyes. We’re not asking them to be heroes; we’re only asking them to not cower in the corner when everything we love is trashed by lawless thugs wearing fancy suits.
We need to draw up an itemized Declaration of Independence. They’re trying to overwhelm us by doing so much tyranny that we can’t confront each item one by one. We need to draw up a list that clearly shows the lawlessness and wrongs of this government, and we need to plaster it everywhere and present it to every member of Congress. We need 1776. As then, the leadership today will have to come from among the hobbits.
Good ideas, I am sure there are many citizens who stand ready to pledge themselves and their sacred honor but we need our motor to have a camshaft with proper timing. The cylinders must work together as one.
Who is it that can organize so we can be effective?
