Who Will Pay for the Violence of the State?
"We are nothing. Mankind is all. By the grace of our brothers are we allowed our lives. We exist through, by and for our brothers who are the State. Amen." -- Ayn Rand (Anthem)
"It is thus necessary that the individual should come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation; that the position of the individual ego is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole ... that above all the unity of a nation's spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and will of an individual. .... This state of mind, which subordinates the interests of the ego to the conservation of the community, is really the first premise for every truly human culture .... we understand only the individual's capacity to make sacrifices for the community, for his fellow man." (Adolph Hitler, 1933)
"Our nation must come together to unite."
(George W. Bush)
"You're either for us or against us"
(George W. Bush)
"We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated."
(Barack Obama)
The intellectual battle that each and every American faces today, is not about Liberalism, Conservatism, the Right Wing, or the Left Wing. The battle that we face is about one central question; do we want a Government for and by the people? Do want want a Government that is afraid of it's people, or do we want a people who are afraid of their Government? Do we want to live in a country that placed the State above the individual, or do we want a nation that respects, honors and empowers it's citizens to exercise their god given liberties. This is our battle, and those of us that happen to love liberty are outnumbered and outflanked.
While those who yearn for a "freer" society are outnumbered, misunderstood and generally laughed at, in the end our perspective will be the norm; however, then it may be too late. Thomas Jefferson understood that Liberty requires individual responsibility. We are individually responsible for the actions of our government. Those of us who voted for the Bush administration are personally accountable for the war in Iraq, and the loss of our liberties at home. We are accountable for the abuses of Guantanimo and Abu Gharib and even accountable to those American citizens who have been black bagged and whisked off to some secret military prison. Those who did not vote for Bush are also responsible, all us have handed the government the power to become the size that it has become. Long ago we chose to be selfish and ask the government to play Robin Hood and to steal from some, to give to others. We demanded that they pay for our kids to go to college, demanded that they force businesses to force their customers to not smoke, we have also individually ruined our neighborhoods and created a police state by forcing the government to keep drugs illegal. It is now time for us to pay the price of asking the State to perpetrate violence on our behalf.
Who will pay for the hundreds of thousands of innocents that we murdered? Who will pay for those whose lives we destroyed? We shall pay, and in some respects we already have. We've paid for our thugs with our liberty. WE NO LONGER HOLD THE CONTROLS. We no longer run the system. The state is lumbering about, like Dr. Frankensteins monster, about to attack his master who created him. Individually we can't destroy the Frankenstein, and we can't win by dealing with it rationally. The only means of restoring our liberty and thus our power, is through millions of angry Americans with pitchforks and flaming torches. This is not a day that I look forward to, but I assure you it will come.
The next time that you petition the State to perpetrate violence against another on your behalf, ask yourself, "Are you willing to hold a gun to your neighbor's head and to do it yourself?"
Our day of reckoning is at our doorstep, so take heed to these words. As the cost of fuel and food start to become out of reach for many people, the government will have only one course of action: locking people up.
