Perhaps true; but have you seen the new Federal Building that replaced the one Timothy McVeigh and his cohorts blew up? It's quite impressive. The Federal Seal, the object in the photograph, still stands on the site of the Murrah Building. The system did what it does - it addapted and evolved.
The ability of the system to do violence far outweighs the ability of the citizenry to do violence. George Orwell illustrated that fact via his classic 1984. The Party of 1984 expects revolt, even wants it; and maintains the military industrial complex by which it expects to profit from that revolt. It is a calculated, vicious, cycle.
In the end, the collective hive evolves - whether it be via revolution or reformation.
Certainly the Federal Government needs systemic reformation; "It" needs to return to the intended purpose articulated by the writers of the Declaration of Independence:
"To secure these rights, men form governments"
We the People - the individual citizens who comprise that government (and its collective corporatist extensions) need to be reminded of that - and make reforming "it" OUR priority; We the People have the power to alter the institution from within - and redirect it back towards its proper purpose. That power is squandered through our own apathy - and is best engaged via our own, personal, reformation. By changing ourselves, we change the system.
The longest journey begins with a single, educational, step...
"To secure these rights, men form governments"
Remember?
Have you read threads where the Amero dollar is mentioned? Seen where the trolls come out denying that the Amero dollar is a part of the globalist plan for the NAU, renamed as North America Community. Have you read where the NAC has been denied by these same trolls. Remember when the Texas Corridor was denied? Back when it was called the NAFTA Super Highway, the same trolls ridiculed anyone who posted anything about it.
If you guys want a reformation. Fine with me but put it up to a national vote. Why do I say a national vote? Because that way every person in America gets a say about what happens to their children's future not just the corporate elites and foreign billionaires who seem to have so much influence with our politicians.
“The ability of the system to do violence far outweighs the ability of the citizenry to do violence”

I wish I had kept the reference which I have lost but some wise soul once said something in words something like this,”The only legitimate purpose of government is to protect the citizenry from the criminal but invariably the government usurps the function of the criminal and becomes a greater danger to the citizens than the criminal could ever hope to be”. The history of the world certainly bears this out, since formal government came into existence criminal governments have wreaked havoc on a level no non-governmental criminal element could ever have hoped to rival. Private criminal operations are sporadic, the perpetrators take time off to enjoy their ill gotten advantages, government criminals never stop, their attacks are relentless and endless.
