Holidays!!!

This holilday season, so much is different, so much the same.

I stayed close to home, did absolutely no commercial purchasing, not even the traditional tree... spent the holiday with my pet family, visited with my mother, children and grandchildren by telephone and actually turned on the TV to watch holiday programming.

Several highlighs:
The Mormon Tabernacle Chior
Its a Wonderful Life (1946 b&w movie with Jimmy Stewart)
75th Anniversary Radio City Hall Music program with the Rockettes (amazing correography - though they still all do the high kicks in unison!!!)
A couple of made for TV Christmas movies....

Now most of the time I consider watching TV a waste of time, I rarely even turn it on. The commercials are extremely annoying, of course all of the retailer ads for the products everybody puts aside and never uses, or especially the car ads for just about anything you might never be able to pay off, plus pharmaceutical drugs with their butterfly wings and disclaimers (if you listen carefully to these, it is hard to imagine why ANY one would want to consume them).

However the holiday programming is generally of high quality and leaves one feeling more positive than the typical sex, violence and frightful news programs that are seemingly designed to scare us all into compliance with some agenda or another.

So for this week, my comments are brief, just to wish everyone a peaceful, joyous time with family and friends and all the best for a prosperous new year in 2011!

Till next time,

Liberty or tyranny?

The house of representatives ... can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as the great mass of society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. It creates between them that communion of interest, and sympathy of sentiments, of which few governments have furnished examples; but without which every government degenerates into tyranny. --James Madison, Federalist No. 57, 1788

Clearly we are finally beginning to realize that the system is broken, our leaders are actually leading us down the primrose path to tyranny and destruction. What is our best defense?

In the latest communication from David Icke, he posits:

“FANTASTIC PROGRESS … AND THE CHALLENGES AHEAD”

He sees, “a new stage in the awakening as a whole new and potentially enormous group of people begin to cross the line and see that apparently random injustice is really calculated and coordinated injustice.
These are the people who have observed the grotesque unfairness and inequality in their own communities and the world in general, but have perceived this to be the result of human greed alone, almost a natural state of the greedy and unscrupulous seeking to exploit the masses for wealth and power.
On one level that is true, but more and more people are now beginning to realise that the foundations of this injustice are not ‘natural’, but globally enforced.
They are coming to the vital, perception-changing, life-changing realisation that the forces that manipulate their own communities and countries are the same forces that are doing the same in every community and country. It is a point I have stressed over and over in the last month: those dictating the lives of Americans are part of the same global network imposing its will upon the Portuguese and Spanish.
As ever more people in this ‘sense of injustice’ mindset start to connect the dots and see how it is all coordinated, the potential for bringing down the house-of-cards Control System becomes limitless.
And it is beginning to happen, though this is just the start.”

I submit we must realize that this global network of control has developed a system of “laws”,”statutes”,”codes”,“rules” and “regulations” which were designed to suit and further their agenda, but that have no real relevance to Universal or God’s Law, which in it’s simplest form is to love all of Creation and treat all of it with respect. Once it becomes clear that this is the only Law that must be obeyed, and the rest (“laws”,”statutes”,”codes” “rules” and “regulations”) relate only to those that created them, and have no real bearing upon the children of God if we are living exclusively under God's LAW, we must ignore them as they do not apply to us, and consequently put us into the position of choosing to obey their “laws” instead of God.

In that spirit, since up until now we have chosen to ignore this fact and instead embraced the myriad rules/regulations that involves playing by the rules that were made up by the tyrants and “work within the system”, we will never achieve the freedom and liberty we desire and deserve.

For example, by engaging in praise to the cult of democracy by playing the game of voting (in spite of the revelation that the outcome of many elections were pre-determined and the voting machines can easily be hacked), we are required to concede that we are indeed the property of another (via the 14th Amendment). These control freaks must be ecstatic when they see their victims attempting to petition them to change their minds or vote them out. As long as we slaves are groveling, begging, and demonstrating our angst, the slave masters know that they are still in charge.

The concept of disobedience to the politicians, to “break the (man’s not God’s) law” in order to be free is terrifying to most, some not even daring to think about it. We have been conditioned to be too scared to actually disobey these self proclaimed masters (which may be understandable). We have been brainwashed from infancy for obedience first to parental "authority", progressively to any authority outside of ourselves, especially “government”, - and that it is a moral imperative to obey the commands of politicians (which the controllers call “law”), so we will not allow ourselves to consider "breaking the law" to achieve freedom.

If you still feel a moral obligation to obey the commands of politicians (no relationship with God’s law), then all you're doing is begging the master to treat you less harshly, hoping that you will not be whipped as hard, and even if he agrees, you'll still be a slave.

Civil disobedience to these self proclaimed masters is the only language they will understand, especially by cutting their flow of income to fund their agenda. Instead of begging for taxes to be lowered, just stop paying them, quit providing funding for wars, stop complaining about the brutality that the mercenaries of government get away with inflicting upon the people. If the consequence for a thug who beats the hell out of an innocent, unarmed civilian was death, instead of a paid vacation, it might happen less often.

To quote Larkin Rose, “As long as the final decision of how the people are treated rests with the masters, and their hired thugs, the people can whine, vote, beg, and complain all they want. It will achieve nothing. But if enough people start coming to the realization that they own themselves, and that they don't need a "law" saying so, they don't need "legislation" giving them permission to keep what they earn, or to make their own choices, and if they start acting like people who understand and love liberty, they might actually get some.”

Some recent examples of how this must be determined is the Food Safety legislation that passed the senate and is now going back to the house for consideration... which has little to do with safety and everything to do with control, wresting from the populace the right to produce, grow and share our own food. The senate voted 73 to 25 to pass, and Maplight.org shows that big industry corporate interests that will benefit from its passage funded many of the senate votes in the mid six figures.

Another example is Health care (actually sickness care) reform which denies us the right to determine what we may use as supplementation to ensure the health of our bodies, and forces us to accept what “they” (the politicians, with NO medical knowledge) determine is required, at an enormous cost to us in the form of higher taxation and harm to the economy by regulation and more taxation to business. Both of these benefit corporate interests (big agriculture, big pharmaceutical) and erode our freedom to make choices that we believe are in our best interest.

Most recently in the news is the abuse and invasion of our privacy and right to travel by TSA, conducting radiation of our bodies and/or invasive, lewd, perverted body searches of the private areas of our body in the name of security.

The “just say no” phrase from a few decades past comes to mind.

Can we as a people follow the example of Mahatma Gandhi? Resist, non-compliance, peacefully, doing what we know to be the right thing for our own bodies?

Do not acquiese to molestation of our bodies or those of our children, avoid exposure to excessive radiation, ensure that we have the medicinal herbs and supplements we require, grow our own food to our best ability, from pots on patios and windowsills, to small plots of garden, with whatever small livestock we can manage. In reality, there are so few of them and so many of us, if the majority of the people would resist their rules and regulations, it would be impossible for them to enforce them.

A recent news item from Germany, wherein the “government supplied 5000 troups to guard a train carrying live nuclear fuel across the countryside, the people resisted in force, some 50,000 of them, with whatever they could muster in the way of tractors, farm equipment, etc. and severely restricted their progress to the point where they were unable to obtain food, reinforcements, in a cold forested area – and eventually had to abandon their plans due to hunger, cold and exhaustion.

The point that was made here, is that the forces that want to maintain control are limited, and as long as they are allowed to bully us into thinking we have no power, they can remain in control.

Once we realize that we can unite and throw off the illusion of separation that they have used, their effective technique of divide and conquer to keep us from coming together to assert our will, we will no longer be enslaved – the taste of freedom can again be ours.

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty—power is ever stealing from the many to the few…. The hand entrusted with power becomes … the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by unintermitted Agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity."
-- Wendell Phillips, speech in Boston, Massachusetts, January 28, 1852
