With all the talk of revolution these days, and rightly so, I've been waiting for the first "radical fringe group" who's going to "rise up" violently, only to be "put down" by the Feds, who will then use the fabricated "crisis" as an excuse to institute martial law and take our guns. Most likely, this radical "group" will be funded in secret by our very own Federal reserve or some other entity that has everything (read: power) to lose, and it will be oh-so-convenient when all the members of this "group" are killed during the "uprising". After all, the current administration believes they should "never let a good crisis go to waste." And government sympathizers among the media will be conveniently "embedded" to get every second of the gory details to television as "breaking news" in order to intimidate and frighten the more timid Americans among the populace.
Violence is the Fed's weapon, one they are very good at wielding to their advantage.
But peace they cannot fight. And they know this. If we the People march on Washington this summer in sufficient numbers with one mission--to "fire" all of our elected employees and start over with the Constitution--we will undoubtedly find no one home when we get there.
I'm all for a revolution to rescue America and return our beloved country to the Constitution, but in a peaceful orderly manner. Ghandi got what he wanted for his people this way, and Martin Luther King as well, until he was killed by those who feared him. But King knew, as did Ghandi, as does even our Federal Government who would love nothing better than a new "crisis", that peace in sufficient numbers cannot be "put down" with violence. Peace, backed by enough supporters, can never be stayed at all.
We ought to try peace first and have the patience to see the attempt through to the end. Yes, some may be assassinated as King was--I would not put it past the current government to try to "scare" us off our mission to take back our country by shooting and killing some of us. My point remains, however, that if we the People stick to the peaceful means already at our disposal, rights guaranteed us under our Constitution, if we persevere in the face of whatever is thrown at us, be it bullets, bombs or merely more intimidating rhetoric and doom and gloom forecasting, we will overcome.
Peace is our greatest weapon in defense of America. If only we the People realize this and take advantage of it before we lose our right to freedom of speech, of assembly and protest, under martial law.
