“From what I have seen of the first part of the article, citing the arrival of a nation whose leader is as yet devoid of any lawful authority seems premature.”
With Reid and Pelosi already in office and in the highest Congressional positions, and already preparing the way for Obamanesque legislation, whi IS in charge. It appears Obama is conducting more press conferences than the sitting president.
We are in slightly more than a “transition.”
The nearly bullet proof legislation of the next Congress is already being prepared with great velocity.
Who IS in charge?
We seem to be willing to give the same ID information to any government agency that asks for the same.
I don’t believe we are too early for a concerted resistence. We should have been resisting already . . . more than 20 years ago . . . what we saw is coming down the pike.
I agree.
Now a wayback.
Some of 'Mom's Rules of Political Resistance'.
Have lots of groups, even if they are small, because that way you get more people up to the microphone.
Never sit all together, disperse throughout the hearing room so you can appear to be all over when the questions are asked (small groups look larger).
Follow up on each other's questions.
Take notes. (Now people record stuff).
More groups also means more plaintiffs if it comes to that.
Use the press, even when they think they are using you.
Give out as little personal information as possible.
Each group has ONE spokesperson, everyone else refer the press to them, and spokespersons get together beforehand to anticipate questions and prevent contradictions.
Bring/buy/prepare your own food and beverages. Never let anyone from the oppostion bring you so much as coffee (yep it got that ugly).
Respect everyone, trust no one you have not known personally for years, and not even them completely.
Compartmentalize at least some information, especially when you suspect you have a turncoat/someone who talks too much. What gets out will point to the traitor/blabbermouth.
If nothing gets out, you may be OK.
Now, this was long before the internet, but the basics have not changed.
I have no problem with resisting, but there are ways to do it, and in the face of what could be a very ugly America in the near future, and with no one to liberate the camps but 'us', I'd be careful about unnecessary personal exposure.
>We should have been resisting already . . . more than 20 years ago . . . what we saw is coming down the pike.<
We were called crackpots back then too. Don’t you remember? Believe me when I say I have been talking about the UN taking over since as far back as I can remember and every person I respected said I was crazier than a kid on crack. I never quit believing it, I just didn’t talk about it as much. The couple of years here on FR that I talked about it, I was labeled as a nutcase. Now that it’s actually happening people still refuse to believe it!
This is like the Jews standing in front of the friggin oven and still believing they were headed for a shower. What the hell does it take?
