AMERICANS PUTTING NOOSE AROUND THEIR OWN NECKS

Former
Presidential candidate and Reform Party founder Ross Perot broke his
self-imposed public retirement to make a bold warning: America could be taken over.
Perot
was the last man to make a serious independent run for President. That
was back in 1992. He withdrew from the race after he and his family had
received serious threats against their lives. By the time he had
gathered himself enough to reenter the race, all of his momentum was
lost and Republican hacks like Rush Limbaugh had a heyday making sport
of him. But the things Perot tried to warn us about back then have all
come to pass. The economic malaise that currently envelopes this country
could have been averted had Presidents and Congresses from both major
parties over the past two decades had the sagacity and courage to heed
Ross Perot and Ron Paul's warnings. In fact, looking back, Bill Clinton
looks like a fiscal saint compared to fiscal sinners G.W. Bush and
Barack Obama.
Yahoo!
News covers the story: "Former presidential contender and billionaire
Ross Perot is worried that America is a sitting duck for an unnamed
foreign invader. In an interview for his new autobiography, Perot said
the nation's weak economy has left us open for a hostile takeover--and
neither presidential candidate is the man to save the country.
"Citing
an impending fiscal cliff, Perot warned of disaster. 'If we are that
weak, just think of who wants to come here first and take us over,' the
former CEO of info-tech company Perot Systems told USA Today on Monday.
"'The
last thing I ever want to see is our country taken over because we're
so financially weak, we can't do anything,' Perot says.
"When
asked for his take on the presidential race, Perot added, 'Nobody
that's running really talks about it, about what we have to do and why
we have to do it. They would prefer not to have it discussed.'"

Unfortunately,
the vast majority of the American people do not truly understand the
danger they are in. The national news media is mostly about NOT
reporting what's going on. The conspiracy of silence by the three major
network news shows and the cable news shows is so overwhelmingly
successful, the average American citizen truly doesn't realize how
dangerously close our country is to utter destruction--either by an
economic collapse or by a nuclear war, or both. And all the two major
parties can do is cast all the blame on each other, while the truth of
the matter is BOTH major parties in Washington, D.C., are equally
culpable for the jeopardous condition in which America now finds
herself.
And
Ross Perot is right: neither Obama nor Romney have the guts to even
discuss (much less work to fix) the real causes of America's fiscal
woes.
Perot
is also correct in his observation that America could be "taken over"
by a foreign power. While the Bush and Obama administrations were
beating the war drums for aggression against Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya,
Yemen, Pakistan, and God only knows who else in the Middle East, they
have turned a blind eye and deaf ear to the clear and present danger
posed by China and Russia. The fact that China and Russia are salivating
over nuclear war with the United States seems totally lost to the State
Department, CIA, NSA, DHS, the mainstream media, Barack Obama, Mitt
Romney, and 95% of the American people.
Allow
me to say at this point that if you live within a couple hundred miles
to the east of a major nuclear target area, I would be making plans to
relocate NOW. But you do what you want. That's just what I would do. And
in case you do not know where the major nuclear target sites are
located in the United States, I highly encourage you to order Joel
Skousen' masterpiece: Strategic Relocation. Learn about it here.
Joel
believes that China and Russia will not launch their nuclear attack
against us for another ten years or so, but when it happens, it will be
the catalyst for both a financial collapse and the rise of a
totalitarian government. This leads to my question. Are we going to be
taken over (as Mr. Perot is worried about), or are we already being
taken over? Is our threat Beijing and Moscow or Washington, D.C.?
Without
a doubt, the threat posed by Russia and China is very, very real
(unlike the pseudo-threat posed by Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, etc.). In
fact, Russian and China have been preparing their countries' civil
defense and fallout shelters for years. The only such shelters that are
being constructed in the United States, however, are those the federal
government is building for the power-elite. And that is being done
virtually invisibly.
But
even short of a nuclear attack from Russia and China, is not the
America that we knew, the America that was governed by a constitution,
the America that believed in the principles of federalism and limited
government, the America that regarded the principles enshrined in the
Bill of Rights as sacrosanct, the America that believed in paying its
bills, the America that had an intrinsic fear of God within it, ALREADY
being taken over?
Virtually
every principle upon which America was founded and that guided this
nation for over 200 years is being thoroughly expunged. Every one of
them! My fear is that by the time a foreign power decides to push the
button, the America that will be destroyed will only be a museum of what
this country once was. The real America is being destroyed NOW--not by a
foreign power, but from within!
As
an example, try to wrap your brain around this report: "Close to half
of Americans say they are in favour of police departments deploying
surveillance drones domestically.
"According
to a survey conducted by The Associated Press and The National
Constitution Center, 44 percent support the idea of police using
unmanned aerial vehicles to track suspects and carry out investigations.
"Only 36 percent said that they 'strongly oppose' or 'somewhat oppose' police use of drones, according to the survey.
"The
poll also found that only one third of Americans say they are
significantly concerned about their privacy being eroded by the adoption
of drones by police forces throughout the country.
"Thirty-five
percent of respondents said they were 'extremely concerned' or 'very
concerned' when asked if they believed that police departments' use of
drones for surveillance would impact their privacy.
"Almost
exactly the same number, 36 percent, noted that they were 'not too
concerned' or 'not concerned at all', while twenty-four percent were
neutral on the issue, saying they were only 'somewhat concerned' about a
potential loss of privacy.
"David
Eisner, president and CEO of the constitution center in Philadelphia,
told the AP that he was somewhat baffled by the response to the poll:
"'I
had assumed that the idea that American police would be using the same
technology that our military is using in Afghanistan would garner an
almost hysterical response,' Eisner said. Support for drone use 'shows
that people are feeling less physically secure than they'd like to
because they are willing to accept fairly extreme police action to
improve that security.'"
See the report here.
So,
how could half of the American people be utterly unconcerned or even
enthusiastic about this country being turned into a giant surveillance
society? Are they so ignorant of history as to not realize that the most
glaring observation of every totalitarian regime in modern--or even not
so modern--memory was always the implementation of a massive
surveillance network within the country? It seems that there is
virtually no intrusion into our personal lives and liberties so
egregious that the American people will not support it, if it is
presented as a way of making them more "secure."
Today,
the vast majority of the American people don't think twice about the
government tracking them and listening to them through their cell
phones, spying on their financial transactions, recording their phone
conversations, reading their emails, scanning the data on their
computers, setting up ubiquitous checkpoints on highways, and now
sending drones over their homes and neighborhoods--drones that are
currently being used to kill mostly innocent men, women, and children in
the Middle East. Yes, you read it right: mostly innocent men, women,
and children.
Several
credible reports that I have read surmise that for every real
"terrorist" that our drones kill in Pakistan and elsewhere, at least
fifty innocent civilians are killed. Pray tell, if the people in our
government are that calloused and coldhearted to the routine killing of
innocent people in other countries, why would one think that they would
suddenly develop a soul should they be given the order to kill innocent
men, women, and children in this country?
Pray
tell, how has this happened? How has it happened that the most
courageous defenders of liberty in the world (the American people) have
become complacent condoners of tyranny? I place the bulk of the blame on
America's pastors and preachers. For decades, they have told and retold
their congregants to "trust the government," "submit to the
government," "obey the government," "the government is good," "the
government is of God," etc. They have bastardized Romans 13 and helped
turn free men and women into sheepish slaves of the state.
While
Ross Perot worries about America's takeover from foreign entities, I
worry that Americans are putting the noose around their own necks.
