A number of people have pooh-poohed some of the forum articles as “Tin Foil Hat People” writing them, but the same was probably said about our founding fathers when they proposed resistance to a tyrannical government. Our founding fathers were mostly Englishmen resisting against their own English government. The tyranny did not begin in one fell swoop, but built over time. Creeping tyranny is insidious because it is not recognized until late in the game.
People here write about defending their Second Amendment Rights. They talk about Stalin, Mao, the Khymer Rouge, the Weimar Republic and vow “that will not happen here”. Did the people in those times & places ever think that would happen to them? The Weimar Republic had financial problems & a politician said he could fix it. Did Hitler say he was going to murder millions of people when he started out? … NO. But to further his goals he needed someone/some group to demonize. Any parallels to today? Many Germans refused to believe what was going on, and many of the Allied powers knew little about the Holocaust (or the extent of it) until Germany was taken during the war. The atrocities were done by the Peoples “Homeland Security” not an outside force.
People argue that we are different, it can’t happen here. Yet it has.
• Wounded Knee – Gun control/confiscation & then slaughter.
• Post Civil War gun control to keep Blacks disarmed resulting in murder & continued suppression
• Japanese Americans interred during WW11. No slaughter, but violated their rights &
• Gun confiscation after Katrina.
• Gun confiscations in DC (Read Gestapo raids Vet's home in DC)
People ask why the sudden assault on the Second Amendment? … Why do we have such a massive debt that the administration does not want to correct? …Why is there such a push to “distribute the wealth”? … Why can’t we secure our borders? ...Why do we have such a log jam in government, no one will cooperate & nothing gets done? ...Why must we wait for Congress when things need to be “fixed” now, why can’t Obama wait for Congress to act?
Carl Marx talked about the Bourgeoisie, Obama talks about the 1 percent, and the millionaires & billionaires, what is the difference? Both groups are demonized to further the politician’s goals. Marx spoke about the Proletariat, Obama talks about the Middle Class and the Unemployed, & how they are being repressed by the 1 percent, and the need to “redistribute the wealth”. Sounds like the Classic Marxist/Leninist approach with modern terms.
Some readers will believe everything they read here (and other places) without question. They are gullible & can be misled. They are the sheeple that blow with the wind.
Those that yell “Tin Foil Hats” may be right. On the other hand maybe they do not see beyond what their party tells them to believe, maybe they are Trolls on this site (Yes we do have Trolls – all sites, from either side, have trolls), or maybe they truly do not believe that it could happen here. They will dismiss & ridicule the articles or discussions rather than debate them or consider the possibilities.
The rest of the readers might take a middle ground. They will take what they read with a “grain of Salt” and think about it. Yes, some things are happening, but they will decide & debate whether some, or all, of what is discussed is true and what it portends, if anything. Are the strange incidents a coincidence or coordinated activities? They want to trust, but verify. They want to think about it without jumping to conclusions either way. These are the patriots that were our forefathers; these are the patriots of today that are trying to come to grips with today’s environment.
