Although the Missouri billboard appears to threaten violence, we must come to realize that not only is violence not requisite for war, but that America is already embroiled in war. This is a fact to which we must awaken, a fact we must comprehend and embrace. The billboard strategy expresses retaliation. I stand and say bravo, it’s about time, and I applaud the engagement! It is when those entrusted with power fear the people that we live in freedom!
America is already at war, a war unlike any war with which most are accustomed. Being oblivious to or in denial of this stealthful, quiet war, Americans have failed to comprehend the travesty of our enemy’s subtle, invisible weaponry. This failure is the reason America’s enemy, having deeply infiltrated within our borders via a virtual Trojan Horse, has yet to be revealed. Even those to whom it has been revealed have been more disposed to suffer as evils have been sufferable.
We, the People, have been more prone to tolerate the assaults on our freedom than to right ourselves by abolishing all forms of religious, economic, and governmental constructs to which we have grown accustomed. The bottom line is: we have been had. We are being seduced. We have been made comfortable in a war while the noose has been lowered and tightened around our neck.
We are suffering from “Stockholm syndrome,” unquestioningly accepting the intoxicating wine from a harlot in lieu of the truth, the oppression of the beast she rides circumventing our Republic, and the resultant company store masquerading as economic freedom. Because we have refused to love the truth, on every level, we have been blind, on every front, to our enemy's silent encroachment. Now that the sleeper is awakening, we have some serious choices to make. To avoid escalating the war to violence, we must begin with personal housecleaning.
Using the recent Continental Congress as an example, clearly we have some mental work to do. We must enter boot camp for the mind. Mental preparations must begin by exercising control of our thoughts, by sifting the personal delusions we harbor from the true facts and circumstances happening around us.
We must recognize and discard the perceptions we all nurture, the filters through which we misinterpret reality, the stories we contrive to define the world around us, the personal dramas which to one degree or another are entrapping us.
We must learn to distinguish the Truth from our vain imaginations about the Truth.
We must set aside our pride, acknowledge the deceit of our vain ego, and cease pretending.
We must come to accept that there are things we, individually, simply don’t know; and further, things we don’t know that we don’t know.
We must capture, as though it were an enemy infiltrator inside our head, every vain imagination we entertain about ourselves and others.
Only by doing this mental work can we begin our escape from the silent weapon controlling our minds, the matrix within which our minds are trapped! Only then can we see through the deceitful conversation within ourselves that we unconsciously and reflexively project onto ourselves and others, and onto the circumstances dictating our lives.
Our failure in our capacity as a power with which to be reckoned, our failure to exercise mental discipline, was more than evident at the recent Continental Congress.
Ignoring the warning given by Washington in his Farewell Address, at least one faction was born of a misconstruction of the facts pertaining to the 14th Amendment committee and its reports. Rather than observing and assessing the facts in all their objective nakedness, stories were spun and added to the facts, and this most likely because of certain preconceived fears, notions, and judgments about the agenda adopted for the Continental Congress.
No matter the instigating force, concerns were projected onto the facts, which ultimately caused the mental embellishment of a story—the foundation of all factions. Certain individuals agreed on and bought into the spin, and adopted as true the ensuing conversation about “what happened.”
Usually at least three conversations are derived from any set of facts. Version one (mine), version two(yours), and the truth(what actually happened). Stories about the truth, as distinguished from the Truth, now orbit America’s cyber space and gather the support of those who ignorantly strengthen, justify and solidify their respective faction. As the orbit moves further away from it origin, the actual facts of the event, the stories penetrate and then permeate the minds of the weak and paranoid until the rift between the factions become as divisive to Americans as her Continental Divide is to her shores.
It is through this faction that we who should be unified against a common enemy are being weakened and discouraged, strengthening the enemy and shoring up its resolve. Only united shall we stand. Divided we shall fall. Because this battle ultimately will be won by our conversation, we must engage the enemy through working to set our minds free. Only then have we any chance, indeed any right, to set others free.
We must abandon sham emotional arguments and prideful, self-centered, I-am-right-you-are-wrong style arguing.
We must stop embellishing the facts by sharing the straight facts, sharing the law, without story, and telling, straight up, what the enemy fears most: the Truth.
To better communicate the Truth, let us begin by implementing the strategy of attacking the Beast by ignoring it, turning our backs on it, and starving it of our financial support.
We already have said: No answers to our petitions, no taxes. Given its silence, the government has proved its long train of abuses and usurpations. The time for talk is over. We either stand together now united for America’s founding principles, or we stand alone later against our taskmasters. Mustering the courage to turn our backs on that which purports to be government, we then may encourage others to do the same.
The allegiance of those who sustain the Beast satiate its appetite. We must stop cooperating with those who seek to enslave, and start freeing the minds of those captured by the delusional labyrinth of perceptions. More than keeping our money, we must withdraw our support, our mental and physical allegiance. We must refuse its benefits, privileges, and entitlements. This is our embargo. We need to muster the courage to do this embargo alone, together; and together, alone. Our embargo begins on a personal level, with an internal dialog with the Higher Power, the Creator, our Spiritual Mother and Father, our Counselor, Comforter, and King, through whom we must pledge our allegiance to the heavenly principalities and powers, the law of nature and of nature’s God, the de jure power to which all are subject, whether we like it or not. What fools we would be to initiate an embargo against that upon which we are dependent for our survival before first establishing a means of support to fortify our position.
I recommend and encourage that the subject matter of our dialog begin with being shown the proper means of severing our dependence on the corrupted systems of the world, and reestablishing our dependence on the infallible eternal principles of Virtue, Love, Honor, Respect, Integrity, Courage and Perseverance. Finally, for victory sake, I most highly recommend we each embody the Truth we most desire to see expressed in others. We must come to understand the nature of the Beast, which is but a reflection, an image of thecollective dark side of humanity, a projection, the culmination of several generations who have been duped into turning their back on the Principles of Freedom. An artificial entity, a legal fiction established by conversation and convention, the Beast is animated by those who choose to embody its soul. Those who facilitate the will of the Beast merely delay its inevitable collapse. Established by the force of guns and jails, the will of the Beast, which has no de jure power, manifests itself through its continued abuse and usurpation of power. This creature is not government, but rather an impostor, and as such unfit to serve a free people.
The 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence held, as a self-evident truth, that we have a duty to throw such off. In so doing we who stand up and fight to oppose the beast must be animated by the Spirit of the One who leads us. E pluribus Unum. Were they alive today all 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence who held as a self evident truth that we have a duty to throw off a design evinced to reduce us under absolute despotism, would undoubtedly sanction our efforts. To this end I pray that we who oppose the beast not only embody, but together facilitate the Spirit of the One who leads us. As One!
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12 "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." 2 Corinthians. 10:3- 10:6
