RESPONSE to Bill Fargo asking “When will we stop tolerating treason?”

Excellent question, which, of course, brings to mind Thomas Jefferson’s comment that “the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants”. 

 

The question of when this will happen is, I think, largely a function of mass psychology. Right now the masses are still living at the height of complacency, oblivious to the fact that the bus is about to hurtle over the cliff. That bus, of course, is being driven by the nitwits, idiots and morons in

Washington who are also clearly oblivious, spending their time, instead, to see which party can buy more votes with cash confiscated from the taxpayers. 

 

Unfortunately, history tells us that it takes cataclysmic events to move people from complacency to action. (As I like to say, revolutions are started on empty stomachs.) History also tells us that an early and necessary component of cataclysmic social change is financial calamity. Only after this country is ruined by a bankrupt federal government (and I mean a real bankruptcy, not the de facto kind we have now), will people feel compelled to water

Jefferson’s tree. 

 

So, When does it start?, you ask? How about now?  

 

Keep in mind that the fall of the

Roman Empire was not an event; it was a process. If you’ve noticed the shaky foundations in the credit markets lately (see “sub-prime mortgage fiasco”), that’s the beginning of our process. Once we’re all ruined financially and the masses realize that the Lender of Last Resort (otherwise known as Uncle Sam, if you can believe that cruel hoax of a phrase) can no longer hand out billions of dollars like Halloween suckers, then the watering will begin. 

 

As for my part, I won’t be the first person to shoot my congressman – I don’t look good in an orange jumpsuit. But, like Samuel Adams and his associates, I won’t shed a tear for the treasonous and tyrannical when the masses awake from their collective, complacent delusion and decide the tyrants’ fates.
