“But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was affected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people.”

~ John Adams, Second President of the United States

Do you remember the first time you read Charles Dickens opening paragraph to his book Tale of Two Cities? “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”

It was November 22, 1963 just before 10:30 AM Pacific Standard time; I was sitting in my English literature class, when those words were forever burned into my mind. I had no more finished reading Dickens’ opening paragraph when the school loud-speaker system came on with the disquieting news that “President John F. Kennedy has been shot in Dallas, Texas.”

Within seconds many of the young ladies in the class began to quietly sob while an otherwise stunned hush fell over the class. Our literature teacher then gave permission for the girls to leave the class but told the males to stay put he had something he wanted to tell us.

As the last girl left the room, the door to the classroom was closed and locked. Turning to those of us remaining; that wise old sage in a controlled but stern voice said: “Gentleman, your world is going to change. I know most of you hunt. I doubt there is anyone here that doesn’t own a firearm. The day is coming when the Federal government is going to try and disarm you. I won’t see it, but you will. Mark my words and be on your guard, the Second Amendment is the only thing standing between you and the suffering you can’t comprehend. Class is dismissed.”

What experiences had brought that literature teacher to make those proclamations, I’ll never know.

Of course, we didn’t see any immediate change in our lives. Groups of us still made the weekly rounds to the Sears’, Wards’, and Penny’s stores to look at and drool over the racks of firearms. We still bought our ammunition from these stores or the local gun shops even though none of us had reached our fourteenth birthday. No one gave us a second look when a troop of us walked through town carrying our weapons on the way down to the river to plink at tin cans or to go bird hunting.

If we were approached by a police officer, there was no fear. He was one of us and would tell us to be careful or warn us of something he had seen that we needed to know to stay out of harm’s way. When bird hunting he would ask us to let him know where the birds were or to tell us where he had had some success during his hunts.

Life really hadn’t changed but we often talked about what that literature teacher had said and we wondered what was going to happen.

It was as Dickens’ had said, “the best of times…” while the worst times were not having the fifty-five cents it took to buy a box of 22 long rifle shells to plink with or the ninety-nine cents for a box of shotgun shells during bird season.

My, how times have changed! What we didn’t understand, in those early years, is that the government is an entity which stays benign only so long as those who make up its character are so disposed. The very soul, mind, heart and action of any government are a direct expression of the morality, or lack of it, by those who make up the government and those who elect them.

Now, we are seeing the truth of that statement. Recently, I was sent an article entitled, “Does the Right Want a Civil War?” by one Sara Robinson, Orcinus. The blog is one long diatribe which blames every recent illegal shooting on anyone who doesn’t hold her perverted view of reality. In her words, the Department of Homeland Security was perfectly correct when it “expressed their worries about right-wing extremist violence last April…”

Furthermore, anyone who objects to the policies being foisted on the American public doesn’t “seem to give a damn about the future of this country, either.” Sara Robinson condemns any objections as “selling hate…without regard for the cultural sewage you’re creating, without regard for the way you’ve polluted the political landscape, and now apparently without even a moment’s regard for the innocent lives that are being lost because you seem bent on destroying every shred of trust required for our democracy to function.”

It is not my intent to dispute an obviously sick ideologue who clearly has never seen what war can do to society. One such as Sara Robinson lives in a world of morbid paranoia supported by the dementia of those in the media, DHS, or a number of governmental positions, Federal, state and local.

What is relevant is that it seems to be spreading. How far from social chaos are we when the question can be asked: “Isn’t it time we started rounding up promoters of hate before they kill?” Bonnie Erbe of CBS isn’t kidding, she means without trial, or without just cause. She wants people arrested and jailed based simply on some “authority’s” concept of hate. She would be perfectly happy to incarcerate those who have any opinion contrary to hers and the present administration.

It is no wonder then that “terrorists” as defined by the state must be an ever-expanding all-inclusive term. Between delusional state agents and rampant governmental paranoia they must try to marginalize and herd all those they fear into one giant boogeyman. Never realizing the “terrorism” they fear is not a single unified adversary.

If you think this isn’t getting a little out of hand consider this; On Friday, June 19, 2009 the NRA-ILA posted “In Border States, BATFE Asks: “May We See Your Guns?”

It seems that “[i]n some cases, agents have asked to enter these people’s homes, and requested serial numbers of all firearms the members possess.”

“In each case, the agents were making inquiries based on the number of firearms these NRA members had recently bought, and in some cases the agents said they were asking because the members had bought types of guns that are frequently recovered in Mexico.”

So who changed? Was it those of us, who, in our formative years, understood the inherent danger in the misuse of weapons? Are we who grew up respecting other’s property rights and the sanctity of life the ones to blame for the tension being felt in the current social environment?

It sure isn’t those of us who looked to remove ourselves from governmental oversight, while remaining productive members of society, which entailed avoidance, as opposed to open violent confrontation with the state. We learned early the necessity of self-reliance; looking to provide for ourselves and our community. We knew instinctively that this is the road to happiness.

No! What changed was not us but the state with its support from those statists, conservatives and progressives who fostered continuing, never-ending oppression, seeking to place all human activity under political control.

For a while it worked, didn’t it? A friend’s correspondence concerning what has occurred over the last 50 plus years seems more than appropriate. “I suspect that some of us recognize that with the term ‘sheeple,’ we herd up.  We’ve got a shepherd, big government.  That government even has dogs. ‘Don’t worry, they’re not there to attack you (even though they… look like wolves), they’re only to protect you from the wolves.’  And we buy that.  Of course the shepherd is only willing to expend his time and resources because he can fleece us and maybe even sell us as mutton!”

This, by definition, is that most common and loathsome circumstance known throughout history as state-sponsored terrorism. With it comes intimidation of citizens by their government using state resources such as the police, judiciary, news media and military to quell domestic opposition to its policies. To that list we can now add the banking system and domestic thugs funded by the state through “private community” organizations.

The old Literature teacher was right; to stay in control those in favor of government domination must find a way to do away with the Second Amendment right and confiscate private weapons.

The catch is that some within the “herd” are now starting to question all those altruistic lies. Why? Maybe it is because they are learning that they would be better off not sacrificing more wealth for a new set of lies. Maybe they are beginning to understand that big government is not the sweet smiling parent figure it has pretended to be. Maybe people would just like to keep what is theirs.

Could it be that people are just sick and tired of having a government that will not listen but continues to act without the consent of the people? It happened in 1776.

Judge Alex Kozinski of the 9^th Circuit Court in 2003 wrote in part:

“The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed – where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.” (Emphasis mine)

Progressives and statists are you listening?

Recently by William Buppert: The Empire Strikes Back: Preparing for the Worst

Human progress is furthered, not by conformity, but by aberration.
~ H.L. Mencken

For some time, I have been trying to figure out why the nation and we as individuals are in the fix we are in now. Many reasons manifest themselves. We labor under a government of such monstrous reach and epic incompetence that it makes the Soviets now look like a paragon of efficiency and probity. We suffer under a ruling class that has not simply been a gangster government under Obamunism but has been this way since the defeat of the original Constitution in 1865. With each illegitimate war since 1898, the power of the Federal government has increased exponentially. With each manufactured crisis, liberties and freedoms have withered and died. This is simply the latest and greatest improvement in the ongoing process of our overseers to find emerging ways to increase the output of our slavery.

I have alluded before that we live in the country and have occasion to run across orphaned animals. We have horses and chickens and other assorted animals on the Circle A Ranch. My wife happens to be a fantastic gardener and the reincarnation of Dr. Doolittle. We discovered by following the horrid cacophony of rabbit screams three orphaned cottontails, two of which promptly died. My wife is now nursing the survivor and hoping to brighten his life expectancy in this mortal coil. As is her wont, she is an inveterate researcher and proceeded to go on the ’net and search out advice on care and feeding of a rabbit which is not one of our areas of husbandry expertise. What struck her were the countless admonitions to seek government assistance and report it to wildlife “authorities” or the zoo. I look around and converse with colleagues and associates to find my fellow Americans increasingly frightened or unfamiliar with doing anything without someone’s permission. Whether at work or play, we:

• obey speed limits that have nothing do with safety and simply provide revenue to our rulers
• pay property taxes which inevitably increase the yoke around our necks locally and pay for the intellectual suicide pact call government schooling
• pay extraordinary sales taxes on local and state purchases to subsidize the countless layers of bureaucracy that choke citizen and business productivity everyday
• stop locally at a US Border Patrol checkpoint nearly twenty miles north of the Mexican border to be asked if we are American citizens and a visual check of the interior of our vehicles
• sit idly by while the various levels of government erect observation devices at traffic intersections to increase revenue streams
• receive property tax bills on our real estate which increase in assessment while market prices decrease
• are required to have permission from the US Forest Circus or National Park Service to hunt, play or work on lands expropriated by our betters in government

I have discovered the silver bullet and it is from the University of the Intuitively Obvious: question authority and maintain a skeptical attitude about all facets of government and governance. That’s it…simple. Even those of us who have invested considerable intellectual heavy-lifting in discerning why the government in all its consistent brutality and blood-raged destruction commands such a loyal and slavish quality in men are baffled by the absence of this simple epistemological tool to ask why on a consistent basis from stem to stern. If enough vigilance is maintained at the outset and embryonic stages of so much government mischief, much of the madness could be strangled in its statist cradle through peaceful discourse, non-compliance, shunning and development of innovative strategies to sabotage the government’s machinations. Most government programs start out with promises of nirvana and positive outcomes but the history of man shows that this is essentially iatrogenic and hubristic. The state is a violent actor by necessity to preserve its power and expand it, so inevitably the promises dissolve into a nightmarish brew of incompetence, lethality and baleful societal consequences and we are stuck with the myriad Frankenstein monsters shambling about with the vague promises of eternal goodness and heaven on earth.

One may say that the horse is out of the barn and we are truly stuck with the state of affairs and no amount of reform will fix DC and its loyal minions at this stage of their maturation and dominance and you would be correct. The rub is this: the FEDGOD will fall and it will be in the next 12–24 months and much like the USSR, it will perish of its own internal Marxoid contradictions. Foreign wars, self-induced economic calamity and sheer naked arrogance will force it to fold and dissolve as a ruling elite. This is a window that rarely opens and the opportunities will be tremendous – for both sides. The furloughed politicos will spread their contagion when they flee the ruins of the DC power structure and seek to encourage the usual suspects among government workers and gullible subjects to help resurrect this monstrosity that has been astride our necks like a decomposing albatross. Truth serum will be necessary and that all starts with the kind of skepticism and incredulity that seems to characterize most everything we do except our attitude toward our rulers. Cross-examination is the engine of truth. Question every bit of alleged government authority which emerges from the ashes. This is one reason Thomas Jefferson was agitating for constant revolt for the tree of liberty. Government is a fungal growth that cannot be checked without constantly striking the root and taking whatever measures are necessary to curb its growth.

You won’t find this kind of critical thinking taught in the universities or any facet of the school systems because skepticism and clear thinking will be the end of them and the whole rotting mold growth choking American civilization called government. When was the last time you saw a government sponsored university study which called for the reduction and/or elimination of a statist rule or department? You don’t have to be a philosophy major or graduate to realize that Socratic drilling works. This is simply the process where you repeatedly ask why to a set of explanations until either you are satisfied the meritorious answer has been given or the shoddy intellectual construction is bared for all to see. It bears repeating: the entire artifice of the state is based on the threat or employment of violence to meet its ends, so it is morally illegitimate and reprehensible from the starting blocks. You have the moral high ground because all government for the most part is an elaborate shell game to develop proxy relationships with servant classes who obey at the urging of a lash or worse for the material and power benefit of the ruling class. Wake up, helots!

This is the chance we have. A dozen, fifty or hundreds of resistance and secessionist entities are going to move into the vacuum left by the great sucking abyss of the FEDGOD collapse. Hundreds of laboratories will emerge to test every variant of political collective and ordered enterprise imaginable. I have little hope for the subjects and somnambulant mental zombies that stumble around the cities of the Left Coast and the Northeast (Vermont and New Hampshire excepted) will do anymore other than instantly resurrect facsimiles of DC patterns of rule and other processes of national socialism but between the Marxist coastlines; the life and times of ordinary Americans will take extraordinary turns to develop from scratch freedom-oriented communities and spasms of spontaneous order. People may finally awaken and look at their neighbors and try to do the right thing. They may seek a system that asks, persuades and cooperates instead of bullies, collectivizes and forces through violent means the shape and texture of human relationships. They will be the vanguard of the men and women who finally awaken from the five millennia fever-dream of enabling various strangers the power of life and death over thousands and millions simply because they have surrendered the most basic right of all; leave us the hell alone.

Turn off the television, grab a book(s) and have conversations with family and like-minded friends. Go out and do things. Start a garden, fix your fencing, move to the country and reach out to the community you live in. Open your mind to the possibilities before us. Most of all, question every aspect of your relationship with authority. Does it derive from fear or respect? Does it emanate from first-hand experience or second-hand knowledge? How many times have you truly asked why a certain bureaucratic edict must be followed? More importantly, what is your line in the sand where your servitude stops and your resistance begins? Just say no to big government. Once a man establishes his limitations for tolerance of interference in his life and adopts a resolute stand against the forces buffeting him against his will, the world will change.

If you are still reading this, you are the Resistance.

TOPEKA | Next year, Kansans will vote whether to change the state constitution to guarantee individual gun rights.

“It is the law of the land today in every state. They (supporters) would like to make sure it stays that way in Kansas,” said Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt, an Independence Republican.

Supporters of a resolution that passed the House and Senate say the move is needed in case the U.S. Supreme Court ever decides that the Second Amendment does not protect individual gun ownership. In 2008, the court ruled that the Bill of Rights covers an individual’s right to own firearms.
