The question you need to answer for yourself is, “At what point, or what does the US gummint have to do, for you to say that the ‘consent of the governed’ is gone and a state of Natural Law exists?”
What requirement do you need?
What would “do it” for you?
I infer from your remarks that a gummint agency that captures and preserves every electronic communication is insufficient.
I also infer the presence of a “Foundation” laundering billions to the advantage of a few elites run by a nominee of one of our political parties for the highest office in the land who flouts laws created to prevent such corruption explicitly is also insufficient.
Black and white clear evidence of media subversion and eager participation in propaganda seems insufficient as well.
I could go on and on for hours if not days. For eighteen years I have been a FReeper paying careful attention to these things and before that on the old alt.net boards.
I don’t expect or really desire an answer, this is all rhetorical, as you say but I am serious about your need to do a bit of pondering. As I asked an Active Duty Major eight years ago, the time had come for Active Duty to decide who to protect, the people or the politicians because the days where those interests coincide are behind us.
No, it is a matter of supporting and believing in America or not. I think the Bundys, militias, people that speak like you do, do not believe in or support America. Sad. And you claim being a veteran. As a veteran myself, I am ashamed to see others claiming same yet speaking of sedition and insurrection. Why don’t you move to some country that might appreciate your sedition and insurrection?
