To my mind, the biggest threat we face is apathy along with a heaping helping of fear and our own unwillingness to face the unknown. We are more willing to stay in a state of relative comfort in the falsely perceived shreds of what is left of our freedom rather than suffer the discomforts of actually fighting, to the death if need be, to attain the REAL freedom our Founders intended for us.

We are not led, we are whipped into submission and we will not admit it even to ourselves.

Once, on THIS soil was fired the shot heard 'round the world. It was fired for our freedom and our posterity.

Recently another shot heard 'round the world was fired and it was fired not FOR us, but AT us, and we never returned fire. We chose to allow our nation to die.

This is a Threat Matrix list documenting threats within and without. Anyone wanting on or off please advise.

Concord Hymn

by Ralph Waldo Emerson

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.

The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.

On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.

Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

Indeed, and the most insidious part is the motivation to lie to yourself rather than see the tradeoff for the future total control state. It is not an exaggeration that the people are putting on their own chains as they willingly become slaves.

Reading your post just sent a chill up my spine. It seems you have succinctly identified what the cause of this continued confusion is, and it is rather stunning.

This week was information overload for me, I have to step back and regain some perspective. Your words will be on my mind.

Great post Mesta! You are right as well. Many on our side need to wake up and understand what is happening to our country.
