Ok. What law of the feds does he suggest to be ignored first?
yes it is a good read and i hope that this is not the way things have to go down. The description of the civil disobedience sounds more like a third world county that survive in spite of the government.
The left will be violent.
Prepare to double their bid.
Didnt finish the article.
Civil disobedience is not individual defiance supported by lawyers funded by collective donations and then publicity.
Civil disobedience is collective defiance of a specific law or other reprehensible regulation by a mass so large it overwhelmes the system to enforce it.
The three supreme cu_ts rulings are interesting and shocking but his plan is wrong headed. It is just another war by proxy where you pay your money for other men’s children to be killed so you can live your own shallow life unfettered.
The money quote, IMHO: “The federal government was created with one overriding duty: to allow us to live freely as we see fit, as long as we accord the same right to everyone else. It has betrayed that duty.”
Indeed so. And I feel a deep hunger now for the mystery man. I’m happy to feel it; for a time following the SCOTUS decisions, I felt despair. Hunger is definitely a better sensation. I’m really glad I read this. Thanks for posting it.
They know they can do this and get away with it because the vast majority of the American people are basically a peaceful lot. They know they can do just about anything and get away with it because there are no personal consequences to their actions.
I believe this quote kind of sums it up:
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Until it becomes personally dangerous for these people to operate, nothing whatsoever will change. Until we, as Americans start collectively shrugging our shoulders or applauding when some tax collector or bureaucrat dies of sudden lead poisoning, nothing we do will have any effect. The feral beast has grown so mad and vicious with it's power that there is really not another way to deal with it. We're way beyond peaceful change, and until that is widely recognised, in the words of Stephen Vincent Benet "Our children know and suffer the armed men."
I use the term "feral" government advisedly, because there is really only one thing you can do with a feral animal.
Suing the Federal government into bankruptcy is a good idea, except for one problem- it already is. Nobody wants to call it that- its a ‘deficit’ or some other euphemism for insolvency, but a government as far in the hole as ours is merely faking solvency.
Not happening.
Murray’s credibility takes a hit here.
