Question: How many citizens would it take to, ignoring any and all Federal and State regulations, go and mine tungsten and manufacture steel and bullets, build diesel/gasoline refineries (w/o the ULSD-regs), establish [private] agriculture and power, and generally prepare for CWII to be considered “Of the people” enough that they wouldn’t dare touch us?

It would be an act of war. The United States has pledged those resources as collateral. That's why you will only find the corporations of creditor nations with hard rock mining permits in the American West. You, as an American citizen, have been an enemy of the creditors since the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1933.

Makes sense... after all we went in and kicked ass in Iraq, now they have free and honest elections...
While over here we can’t get a free and honest election... I mean what with all the “recounts”, the “finding” of ballots, the “117% of registered voters” voting, the multi-state voter-fraud perpetrated by ACORN, is there more? Im’m sure there is. [/cynic]

I find it all too easy to believe that the government is against its people.
