There is a fundamental question
that hangs over the political system that few Americans want to entertain. How
do we protect ourselves from tyranny operating under color of law when there is
no political solution at hand? Some will say we must grin and bear it because
the majority has spoken, the Congress has legislated, the President has
executed, and the courts have adjudicated.
Leftists, socialists, and communists say “We won the election and we have a mandate from the people to govern.” In other words, they’re telling the rest of us to shut up and take whatever they decide to dish out. That’s the way a democracy works; the 51% majority can plunder, pillage, and kill the minority 49%. If the minority reacts to protect themselves, then it’s “anti-government extremism” or “domestic terrorism” (as they say in the current linguistic coin of the empire).
But free men are not called upon to submit to the tyranny of “laws” crafted by a majority, especially when, in our case, they are clearly illegal and therefore null and void. Just because the federal courts rule a law constitutional does not make it so. Our Founders did not saddle us with an oligarchy in place of a monarchy. Rather, they gave us a republic in which the final say resides with the people in their capacity as citizens of the several sovereign States.
Neither the left liberals nor the Trotskyite neo-cons, alien purveyors of an alien ideology, give one whit about the Founders and the old American republic. To them it is all about power, and that power is being used to undermine and destroy any vestiges of the old order. All this started, of course, with Lincoln’s war on the South, but that’s for another essay on another day.
So, when faced with the raw exercise of power what do we do? There is a fundamental law of self-preservation known as salus populi (translated from the Latin: “the well being of the people is the supreme law”) that trumps all else. I like to call it the law of tooth and claw. Simply put, it means that when you threaten my family and my ability to feed, clothe, house them properly through my own hard work, then I have a basic right to resist you by any means necessary as I would any common thief of murderer.
Our system is supposed to be based on something called “the consent of the governed.” The elites who control the current system care nothing for anyone’s consent, only their obedience and fear. They do not care what we think nor do they care about doing things the way they are supposed to be done under our republican form of government. Again, they care only about power.
If the world stood right side up today, those who held positions of authority on behalf of the people would be persuaded to govern well by a healthy dose of fear. They would fear the consequences of betraying their masters—the people. But because the world is not right side up, they use fear against us. They make us—their perceived subjects and enemies—fear the consequences of opposing their illicit power. When we do strike out in anger against their enormities, even just a bit (say, a brick through a Congressman’s window), they condemn “violence” and call us “extremists.” But all the while, they remain in power through violence, or at least the very real threat of it.
What happens if you refuse to obey their immoral, unjust, and unconstitutional “laws?” They fine you or come to arrest you. What happens if you don’t pay the fine or meekly submit to arrest? They violently apprehend you or even shoot you.
Resisting these sorts of laws is not a recipe for anarchy. There are many good and necessary laws that we all must obey if society is to function. But there is a line lawmakers dare not cross when legislating for free men and women. And they have indeed crossed that line many times over the past half century and we have done little or nothing other than complain. Now they have finally thrown off the mask completely to reveal the monster underneath. How, you might ask? By finally admitting that the regime has the legal authority to kill you at any time, at any place, and for any reason it deems necessary for its own (i.e. national) security. This line of thought was begun by George W. Bush and is now being continued by Barack Obama. Both parties are filled with tyrants, large and small. There is then no political solution.
The regime knows that we know that there is no political solution any longer (if there ever was in the first place). Why do you think they want our guns and ammunition? I would venture to guess that they do not want us shooting back when they try to kill us!
So it has come to this. When politics fail to provide safeguards for the people’s lives, liberty, and property, the people must adopt extra-political solutions. Got any ideas where to begin?
