Herschel Smith's take on the current state of affairs

The Goal is People Control and not Gun Control

As to be expected, Herschel does an excellent job to explain and expand on the very important analysis by GEN Patton from earlier this week and other events that have been culminating to where we are right now.

I could give you the highlights, but the entire thing article is a highlight. I would invite you to click on the link above and read it the article in its entirety.

Trigger warning for the Trump crowd; bring your listening ears and an open mind. Perhaps the base can make enough noise to get that guys attention. Call it a triumph of hope over experience.

Anonymous said...: He's right about the "No-Fly List", but could expand even further on that subject. The list itself is a Kafkaesque idea. You can't find out why you were placed on it. You won't know you're even on it until you try to fly (or purchase a firearm if they had their way). And all that because it's a "secret list". Once you're on it you have no means of getting off it or having a day in court to fight it. And as Hershal said, they could put every single member of any gun organization on it; or anyone else they deem worthy for that matter. And just who exactly gets to mark someone as a terrorist? Who makes that call? What criteria is used? Beats me! And "No-Flying most likely will not be the end of someone's loss of transportation. Remember, it's the "TSA" - "Transportation Safety". Not "Flying Agency". So they can suddenly insert themselves into railroad transportation, buses and even the highways to end your right to travel. And all this tyranny because Americans would go along with anything after 9/11 without stopping to give a seconds thought about the loss of freedom that comes with giving any bureaucracy so much power...It all comes back to the People themselves. Jefferson said you will get the amount of tyranny you're willing to live under and Franklyn said those who will trade freedom for safety will get neither. But most Americans won't stop for a second to give this entire business any thought at all. They're the same folks that would have given the Roman soldiers nailing Christ to the cross a pass with the excuse of "they're just doing their jobs". It always boils down to "the People" because ultimately they have the power whether they know it or not. They are choosing their own bondage by never questioning something like a "No-Fly List" in the first place. When the discussion is directed at the list itself and not on whether someone on it can purchase firearms is when quite a few people will wake up and get it. That's why the powers-that-be fear information directed at the masses more than they fear a shooting war and desperately try to control that information. So when anyone finds themselves debating the firearms you must bring the debate to the "List". That's were the battle has to take place.; June 18, 2016 at 4:44 AM

And Anonymous above at 4.44a has it exactly right. If you wouldn't be comfortable with the worst government imaginable having some power, you shouldn't give it to ANY government.; June 18, 2016 at 7:58 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
