So It Begins

As I sit here typing this, there are massive riots taking place in Egypt.  The eyes of the whole world have turned towards Egypt, watching as the people rise up in protest against decades of growing oppression, poverty, and suffering.

I had just watched an Alex Jones video on Youtube, discussing the rise of oppressive tactics being used by our own government here in the US, as well as the dire indicators we are seeing for our own economy taking a fatal plunge, should our US dollar lose its status as the primary currency in international business.

I've heard state department heads on NPR hailing the rise of China to a world power as a good thing, despite the fact that they own a huge portion of our debt, and that China has joined with other companies in preparing to dump the dollar in favor of other currencies, which would have a devastating effect on our already sick economy.

Ms. Clinton has come on in a press release, urging Egypt to not use violent means to curb the riots, to respect the right of people to peacefully protest...this in spite of the facts that our own government has reacted violently to protesters, and that those in Egypt who are protesting have become violent because of the aggressive steps taken by the Egyptian police forces.

There is so much wrong in the world, not just here in our own country, but everywhere, that I seriously wonder how much longer we really have before it all crashes and burns around our heads.

From crooked politicians, to seeing our own Constitution and Bill of Rights hacked to pieces, to seeing the threat of losing a free and open internet via having restrictions placed on its use, to seeing our jobs outsourced and our economy systematically destroyed....how can anyone not see that we are, indeed, in deep trouble?

While it's doubtful anyone will ever even read these words, buried as this little blog will be among millions of others, being human I simply felt a need to vent, to express my own concerns, and to seek out possible solutions, if there are any.

Because, at this point, I'm not really sure there is much we as a people CAN do. Why? Simple....not enough people got off their collective asses to fight back when the powers that be gutted our Bill of Rights, shipped our jobs overseas, and corrupted our main vehicle for change, which is our vote. The majority turned a willing blind eye to the corruption, to the crimes, to the outrages against our liberty. 

Now, we will pay the price, and trust me, the price will be far more dear than anyone can imagine.

I no longer care about the fake differences between Democrat or Republican or any other political party label.  Not one of them has truly fought, consistently and publicly, to protect We The People from the insidious designs of the wealthy power brokers who have systematically bought and sold our politicians and political system. 

None of us who are the former middle class can hope to compete with the untold trillions of dollars that passes hands behind closed doors, or outdo the secret deals that include perks like junkets to vacation resorts or condos where ever the latest hot spot is for the rich. 

Those passing legislation that causes even further harm to the citizens of our own country and, eventually, around the world, care nothing for the opinions of a truck driver, who spends days at a time busting their ass to make it to their next drop on time, or the coal miner, who sweats and works so hard in the darkness to help provide needed resources for energy, or for the waitress whose feet are screaming in pain after a twelve hour shift waiting on others.

They don't care about any of us, the blue collar working class. None of them do. Do not believe them when they say they do. Try to call and get them on the phone. Try to get a meeting with them. They are too busy to be bothered with you. It is far more important to be at that thousand dollar a plate political dinner, which we tax payers foot the bill for. It is far more important to be at that high powered luncheon, where they are wheeling and dealing our liberty right out of the door.

And they are ALL doing it. Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent...it is the way the system has been perverted, til no one who arrives in DC with dreams of making things right will have a snowball's chance in hell of effecting real change to restore liberty and stop this mad, insane avalanche run towards tyranny.

Make no mistake. Lose your liberty, and you WILL have tyranny. It's already here, knocking on our door. 

Invasive search techniques are being used on those travelling through our airports, violating a person's right to be free of unreasonable search and seizure. 

Measures are being planned to give the president a kill switch for the internet, thus making it possible for them to shut all of us off from each other and critical information and contact, isolating us. 

They are already monitoring your email and your cell phone calls, building a record of those of us who dare to exercise our right to free speech and talk about these things. 

They are planning a program that will reward citizens who spy on others.

Sounds more and more like another country, long ago and far away.

This did not start with Obama. It has been a work in progress for a long time, and their long term plans are now starting to come together.  I don't think they really care if the economy here in the US collapses, because it will simply make it easier for them to use it as an excuse to put martial law in place and remove all pretenses of being a republic following democratic policies.

Like the rest of you, I will watch the unfolding events as they are broadcast on CNN.

But I will also be seeing what I can do to try and help my family be prepared for the horrors to come.  I cannot change the path that has been chosen for us against my will, but I can at least try to build my family some sort of ark to weather the coming storm.

I hope you will be wise enough to do the same.
