off-ramp: "Excellent! Exactly my sentiments, except I would have used the term "Third World" instead of "slave." "
The dream of wannabe global governors -- those who have taken free-trade to the max and will not be satisfied until they can exploit and control the natural resources and labor pool (fondly referred to as 'human resources' even by our own gummint) of the world.
The only things holding up the globalists plan is the jealously-guarded claim to sovereignty, independence and self-determination by middle-class Americans, who, by the way, might be the only people on the planet who claim and practice 'inalienable rights.' Certainly the elitists don't -- nor the welfare/slave class.
But how long can the middle-class hold out when the would-be global governors are chewing around the edges, inflicting a pretty deep gash into middle-class wealth and limiting it by taxation? Wealth is not a relative thing, for it denotes personal independence and free-will. And having independence keeps real political power in the proper hands. In the hands of a free people.
Once America is turned into an 'inter-dependent' nation, the clean-up operation for the rest of the world will be a cake-walk. And the bottom tier of the elitists -- those who stand in the 'wings' and hold the coats of the rapists will be manning the largest bureaucracy ever to exist on Planet Earth. (There ya go, NGO's. Something you've always looked forward to.)
And who then will be concerned when everyone is laying back saying, 'I got pipe, I got hash, I got mat and 'mate.' What more could I ask for?'
It's a multi-front war against personal independence and the independence of any nation. The economic front seems to be on the front burner, right next to the 'moral/cultural' front which is about to boil over.
So there you have it. Everything is related and working in concert to reduce the world to rubble, as the elitists would have it, as long as they are on the top of the heap.
(Nuke China? Why even think about it? China has always 'nuked' its own.)
As I stated at the beginning of the thread...there are numerous "fronts" and the economy is just one of them.
They are all directed at weakening us.
But, as you say, there are still millions of God fearing and otherwise morally based individuals who hold fast to their rights, their independence, their soveriegnty...their firearms.
Ultimately, they will have to come for the guns...because there are millions who,. despite all else, will not give them up.
Our enemies recognize that faith and guns are the real forces they have to vanquish in the end...and all of this other is aimed at ultimately making the play for that. They have made great inroads already it is true...and we will probably lose more ground.
But in the end, as Patrick Henry said..."There is a God in Heaven, and He watches over the affairs of man"
That will be their ultimate undoing and our ultimate salvation, if we will hold fast and not give up. It was the same with the framers.
That's the plan in two sentences.
