The other kind of revolution

Last week’s editorial concluded that revolutions are no longer possible because of the vast power of modern weapons available to governments. Prior to the beginning of the last century, revolutionaries could grab their swords and muskets and meet the tyrant’s soldiers on an even footing with the outcome weighted in favor of which side could muster and sustain the largest army.

The development of aircraft, tanks, nuclear weapons, poison gases, bacteriological agents, laser weapons, microwave weapons, GPS, guided missiles and drones has eliminated that equality forever. It now is possible for an oligarchy of less than one percent of the population, wielding such weapons, to easily defeat any mass uprising.

Does that mean we are doomed to be subjects of a global tyranny that, in the name of disarmament, controls all weapons of mass destruction? Or is it possible for another kind of revolution to succeed?

TWO KINDS OF REVOLUTION
Dictionaries have two definitions for the word revolution. One is the forceful overthrow of a government leading to a new regime, and the other is a drastic change in the attitudes and mores of society. Although history books usually focus on the first type, the second type is equally important, if not more so, because physical revolutions cannot happen unless they are preceded by a revolution of ideas.

The American Revolution, for example, was fired by a cluster of ideas related to the single concept of freedom from the oppressive yoke of government. That was the fire in the mind that brought the revolutionaries onto the battlefield and sustained them through great hardship and suffering.

Yes, you say, but don’t forget that, if the mental revolution had not been followed by a physical one, nothing would have changed. Ideas without actions are useless.

ALL ACTIONS ARE NOT EQUAL
True, but what kind of actions are open to us today? Is physical action the only option? As Mao expressed it: “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.” Are military-style revolutions the only way to replace a tyrannical oligarchy?

That question can be answered by asking another question: Did the present collectivist oligarchy seize control of government by physical revolution? The United States once had an enviable political system of checks and balances, once enjoyed no bureaucratic control over the lives of the people, once had local police who actually served and protected its citizens, once had almost no confiscation of personal income or wealth, and once was admired around the world.

All that now is history. A revolution began in America starting full force in the early 1900s and was complete fifty years later. Were there barricades in the streets, mobs storming the White House, raging gun battles between patriots and soldiers?

None of that happened. It was a “soft” revolution. The government was seized through the mass media, the educational system, the entertainment industry, the banking system, and the ballot. Had it been attempted through force and violence it would have failed.

That is the key to how we must shape our own strategy. There are new battlefields out there. Why would we want to grab our muskets and head for the monuments of our forefathers? The new battlefields are the power centers of society: the organizations and institutions that shape national policy. That’s where we lost control to the collectivists and, if we are ever going to get it back, that’s where we will do it.

THE KIDS ARE AWAKENING
In the 1960s, when I began studying the ideology of collectivism, I recall reading a statement from a Communist organizer in which he explained why Communism eventually would conquer the United States. He said something like this: “You wealthy and powerful capitalists are in control today, but we will be in control tomorrow. Why am I so sure? It’s because we are recruiting your children. Right now, we are winning their hearts and minds and, when you die, your empire will belong to us.”

In retrospect, I can see that he was half right. In the universities, large numbers of wealthy kids were recruited into the Marxist/Leninist ideology but, what the comrades had not anticipated was that the empire they were hoping to replace with communism was well on its way to BEING communism under a different name.

So, when the kids eventually inherited the empires of their fathers, they were able to implement the collectivist ideology they learned in school without having to join the Communist Party. They merely continued to call themselves capitalists, and very few noticed the switch.

We who are hoping to bring about a revolution of ideas on behalf of freedom are in much the same situation as the comrades back in the 1920s and 1930s. Collectivists are in control today but, have you noticed? Their kids are awakening! The ideology of individualism is rapidly spreading through the universities, which are the incubators of future leaders. If we follow the strategy of a soft revolution, we will possess the future.

Here is the unedited FBI areal video that shows the shooting of Robert LaVoy Finicum. He had his hands in the air but then appeared to reach into his jacket pocket when he was shot by police. There was a previous report that Finicum charged the officers. Others said he was lying on the ground when shot and that there was a shoot-out. All of those stories were false.

LaVoy Finicum, a participant in the occupation of a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon, was killed by police at a roadblock. Other protesters, including leader Ammon Bundy, were apprehended as they were traveling to attend a meeting set up by local residents. Witnesses said that Finicum had his hands in the air when he was shot. There is a report of another witness who said that he charged the officers.

Lyme disease was first discovered in Lyme, Connecticut, near Plum Island, home to the federal animal-disease center. This facility conducted experiments with tics, which are the critters that transmit Lyme. For many years, the government and the medical profession denied the existence of Lyme disease, but now the CDC is openly studying it as a bio-weapon. More than 45% of all counties in the US now have tics that carry Lyme disease, and more than 300,000 people are diagnosed with it each year. RT 2016 Jan 28 (Story)

A farmer named Clyde had a tractor accident. In court, the trucking company’s lawyer was questioning Clyde. “Didn’t you say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine,’?” asked the lawyer.

Clyde responded, “Well, I’ll tell you what happened. I had just loaded my favorite cow, Bessie, into the…”

“I didn’t ask for any details”, the lawyer interrupted. “Just answer the question, please. Did you, or did you not say, at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine!’?”

Clyde said, “Well, I had just got Bessie into the trailer behind the tractor and I was driving down the road….”

The lawyer interrupted again and said, “Your Honor, I am trying to establish the fact that, at the scene of the accident, this man told the Highway Patrolman on the scene that he was just fine. Now, several weeks after the accident, he is trying to sue my client. I believe he is a fraud. Please tell him to simply answer the question.”

By this time, the judge was interested in Clyde’s story and said to the lawyer, “I’d like to hear what he has to say about his favorite cow, Bessie”.

Clyde thanked the Judge and proceeded. “Well, as I was saying, I had just loaded Bessie, my favorite cow, into the trailer and was driving her down the highway when this huge semi-truck and trailer ran the stop sign and smacked my John Deere Tractor right in the side. I was thrown into one ditch, and Bessie was thrown into the other. I was hurting real bad and didn’t want to move. However, I could hear old Bessie moaning and groaning. I knew she was in terrible shape just by her groans.

Shortly after the accident a Highway Patrolman came on the scene. He could hear Bessie moaning and groaning, so he went over to her. After he saw her fatal condition, he took out his gun and shot her between the eyes to put her out of her misery. Then the Patrolman came across the road, gun still in hand, looked at me, and said, “How are you feeling?”

“Now, what the heck would YOU say?”

ARE THE POLITICIANS IN SWEDEN INSANE?
2016 Jan 28 from Phyllis
I just have to say, what the frell are these people thinking in funding a sniper training course for the refugees??? Are they truly insane? They must be to even think of doing this!?

REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello Phyllis. As I see it, the people doing this are not insane. They are diabolically cunning. They are deliberately trying to create chaos with intent to destroy the old order so the NEW World Order can be built upon the ruins. It’s the same game being played all over the world, including the United States.

OREGONIAN SAYS AMMON BUNDY IS A COMMON CRIMINAL
2016 Jan 18 from Richard Ellmyer
Special Agent in Charge of the Oregon FBI, Gregory T. Bretzing is following his colleague, Special Agent in Charge of the Nevada FBI, Laura A. Bucheit, down a very, very dangerous path. Bucheit abandoned her responsibility to arrest armed, white, Mormon, male Cliven Bundy for failure to pay one million dollars in federal grazing fees. Would her “equal justice under the law” behavior have been different if her target was an unarmed, dark skinned woman who was a Muslim or an atheist? Her cowardice in the line of duty inspired Cliven Bundy’s sons to lead an armed invasion to capture the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

It’s time for Special Agent in Charge of the Oregon FBI, Gregory T. Bretzing to put up or shut up. If and when the Bundy bunch leaves the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, Bretzing must arrest them. Our political, judicial and law enforcement establishments have the legitimate, legal, moral authority, indeed, a duty, to protect persons and property from those who brandish weapons to steal what belongs to others.

The Malheur National Wildlife Refuge belongs to me and every other American. We want it back. NOW. Ammon Bundy and his belligerent bandits are both common criminals and domestic terrorists and must be treated accordingly.
