The Federal Government Refuses to Listen
American Thinker ^ | 11 Aug, 2022 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 08/11/2022 4:30:09 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The raid on President Trump's personal residence is merely the latest in a "long train of abuses" orchestrated by the federal government against the American people.

These are the times that try men's souls. Patriotic, law-abiding Americans have been voicing their grievances against the federal government for years, if not decades. They have called out the ever-growing administrative state that seeks control over every part of an American's life. They have called out the politicization of justice and the unequal application of the law. They have denounced the domestic surveillance Deep State that tracks their movements, reads their emails and texts, and monitors their bank accounts without warrants or probable cause. They have urged state governments to reclaim powers stolen by federal authorities, and they have begged federal politicians to return to a system of true federalism, separation of powers, and balanced government. They have screamed at the top of their lungs for Congress to stop spending money it does not have and to fulfill its decades of promises to secure the porous Southern border from endless illegal immigration saturating small interior communities with crime, murder, drugs, and social disintegration. The federal government has refused to listen.

A mere four years from the 250th anniversary of the thirteen colonies' Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, and much of America now sees history repeating again. A tyrannical system of government that rules imperiously from its royal city walls has become every bit a threat to human liberty today as it was two and a half centuries ago. A faceless, unelected, and unaccountable administrative army makes and enforces its own rules and uses its byzantine system of regulation and taxation to intimidate ordinary Americans into compliance and submission. A nefariously partisan DOJ and FBI hunt political opponents and citizen-dissenters as enemies

They don’t seem to care how the citizens feel about their actions.

I knew this country was effectively done when I watched how compliant so many FREEPERS were in the face of totalitarian Branch Covidians in government back in 2020.

That's because they are not afraid of losing power by election or revolt.

So far, massive gulags have not yet been instituted within the US territory, but these may very well be coming. Small gulags already exist, as consider the plight of the demonstrators at the January 6 fiasco. Imprisoned without either due process or a chance to post bail, and with sentencings that speak more of plea deals than actual convictions, the DC gulag seems to be a trial run of establishing larger and more remotely located concentration camps.

Which may explain why a number of government agencies are acquiring an arsenal of weapons and recruiting “agents” more like a paramilitary guard force than actual employees with an assigned position and job description.

Mission creep. With emphasis on “creep”.

I don’t think it’s massive gulags they want. It’s massive burial sites they want. They want to put 20 to 30 million of us in the ground.

There are modern day parallels to the French revolution. I wonder of there is a modern day parallel to the guillotine?

The states should order the federal LE to close their offices and get out. To rub salt into it, send the state militia to help them pack their bags.

Check out your state budget.

Deep State has all 50 states by their budgetary short hairs.

And Deep State likes it that way.

This administration is fighting several wars on several fronts all self inflicted. War with Russia, economic and political war here at home, stirring up a war with China over Taiwan, allowing an invasion force through the Southern border. This administration is conducting both overt and covert war on the premise that the average American citizen is far too comfortable and afraid to give up what they have to fight for their rights or even the lives of their fellow patriots.

The federal government forces individual states to go along or have their funding withheld.
Plus many states (governors on down) gladly go along..even if thatact like they are not happy.

That’s why I think it will take a group of states in a region, like south or mid west or both, to decline federal funding and go it alone.

That works both ways. Starting with the media.

This - not hunting - is why the Second amendment was added to the Constitution.
