One By One - The Futility Gets to Them

ONE BY ONE
THE FUTILITY GETS TO THEM

By: Dorothy Anne Seese

Several ezines and conservative sites have recently given up the ghost, lack of support both financial and moral.  Several writers have worn down and told me that there is no use jeopardizing themselves and their families by continuing to write in an age of universal surveillance when there is no response, no action.  The sense of futility seems to be growing, because regardless of what the people want, the government is detached from the people, goes its own way, and our Homeland Security is viewed as Homeland Control.

I notice other sites that were formerly "radical" as far as their right-wing stance slowly drifting more toward the centrist area of the Republican party.

It seems like an exercise in futility to a growing number of us to keep on preaching to the choir, the faithful few who read the articles and take note of what is happening in America, to the American way of life, and yet when it comes to globalism and the NWO or UN, the people in America have little or no say-so with their representatives.

Information overkill is everywhere but truth is often difficult to ferret out.   Even more discouraging is the useless waste of American lives when our own leaders now count Osama bin Laden as marginalized in the quest to "stamp out evil" and turns a beady eye on Iraq.  Now it's not Osama, it's Saddam and an unfinished war from a dozen years ago.

Here in Arizona, Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz) whose district bumps right into the Mexican border, voted "yes" on the amnesty bill, the only one of our five Republican members of the House to do so.  Now Mr. Kolbe seems to wish to have the US get involved in Colombia, which is another nation in civil war that is none of our business and no threat to our national security.

The leaders and the media seem equally silent on the UN meeting in Monterrey, Mexico about the global tax that would burden all American workers without their having any say in the matter, except, perhaps, to refuse to work.  Or to establish a new US government free from any contact with the United Nations.  So far, no one has attempted to do that, and if this nation enters a new civil war, it will be too weak to fight Iceland and win.

On the lighter side, a new iceberg just slightly larger than the state of Delaware has broken loose from Antarctica, drifting wherever the currents may carry it.

This is reason enough to turn off the news and sit up all night listening to Art Bell.   He's beginning to make sense when the rest of the world is not, or at least, a few of his guests are making some sense in a world that is so topsy-turvy it seems that extra-terrestrial powers had to engineer this mess.

The "real" Americans are ready to fight for this country, as it was, but not as it is and is becoming ... a global village.  We have folks by the thousands who are ready to do something to restore America, but now the emails I get reflect a growing discouragement with the inability of our internet writers to stir up any sort of fervor for taking back our country, because short of advocating total revolution, we don't know how to do it.

If I had the answers, the establishment would doubtless have to kill me.  But I don't have the answers.  During the past ten years of writing, first for a small town print newspaper and then for the internet, I've viewed my work as an analysis of times, trends and events.  It's our elected officials who are supposed to have the answers because they are the ones who have the power.  There are a few truly conservative "third parties" milling around without any threat to the powers that be, and they are likely to stay that way.  Joining in a conservative cause isn't on their agenda.

Have the liberals, the globalists, picked us off, one by one?

It seems to me from the mail I am receiving that an increasing number of once-enthusiastic conservatives who wanted to "take America back for the American people" have decided that the reason we're in this mess is that the average American has a comfort zone that is still worth compromising for, and the relatively few who are willing and able to fight have no voice either with their vote or with the great proletariat who are willing to trade freedom for false security.

When we really had freedom, it took responsibility to keep it.  The socialist agenda handed out goodies "free" to take away freedom in exchange for freebies.   It worked.  The vast expansion of lotteries and other gambling establishments indicates we're so absorbed with money and self-gratification that sacrifice for any reason is too painful to consider.  Of course, the real pain is coming, but write as much as we do, the writers cannot convince the proletariat of this.  They don't want to believe it and when the awful truth finally comes, with or without blue helmets, they will be the first to cry out.

Then we also have the major managed media arm of the global governance movement, supposedly reporting the news but slanting it to the agenda.

I cannot blame the writers who are giving it up for being discouraged.  The readers are getting discouraged also.  The ezine and message board people are becoming frustrated and discouraged.  Liberals will put their money and their effort into an agenda to destroy the United States of America and the republic for which it stood.

Conservatives who give their time and effort find that few appreciate them or their work. There's no unity among conservatives, and there is a high level of unity and complicity among the backers of the planetary village and elitist government.  We don't even have one moving target, we have too many to count.  Rather than a single Hitler with a gestapo, we have numerous bureaucracies, movements, non-governmental agencies, support groups, media outlets and politicized judges, so that the fight is far more scattered than the effort against North Viet Nam in that conflict forty years ago.

Now having said all that, it's almost time for me to go outside and look for some UFO's or strange lights in the sky.

After all, everyone needs a hobby.

Actually, I may be the "foolish one" here because I've seen this debate over Zion rage here and elsewhere, and I really don't have the slightest clue as to what it's all about. Link, please, or explanation?

This is an article about folks trying to speak the truth or argue an other than mainstream line of facts or objectives.

Surely the curtailing of free speech by the mainstream media is an abrogation of an essential constitutional rights and illustration of how compromised is the Fifth Estate by their Owners' "partnerships" with government?

Nothing will get you axed faster than criticisms of Israel. This board is a perfect example of just that.

Why? Israel is the quintessential prototype for the Victim classes in this nation ... those you must treat specially because they are equal and who -- in all their equality -- get the affirmative action and special Title legislation affording special legal remedies available only to those whose skin or sex or sexual gender or faith (as long as it is NOT Christian) entitles them thus.

I wouldn't lump the ADL in with the "Zion_ists" in particular but it's true they have long been at the vanguard of dismantling our constitutional rights and destroying all public evidence of the Christian precepts on which this nation was founded.

Assuming they haven't all been deleted, I suppose I could start dredging up Sobran or Reese articles in which the slightest criticism of the STATE of Israel gets them branded as anti-Semites bent on blaming the worlds problems on the Jews for whom they likely share a Nazi lust to eradicate.

As for "surveillance" and "targeting" ... _Jim and the assorted would-be federal shills look positively lame compared to the way some will descend on and personally savage the author of any article criticizing or asking questions about US policy on or actions toward Israel.

This seems grossly unfair ... particularly given the fact that the STATE Israel is in no way equal to Judaism and the "Zionism" that actually effected the state's conception was backed by militant atheist (Soviet) and fascist terrorists who pressured with political murder those westerners who'd not come round to the Globlists view of Israel as leverage for their own self interests.

Merc has a great saying: "(Right-of-center) Activism is hard because it takes up all of your life, it alienates acquaintances and you spend more energy fighting your own side than the enemy. But, hey! at least it doesn't pay."

That's certainly how it feels sometimes. A lot, in fact.

Thanks.

Don't worry about dredging the pool just yet, I'll have a look around for Sobran, Goebbels, et al. (kidding!) and see what I can't find. Thanks for the tip.

The rest of the article is good, but redundant.
