I am not a necessarily learned man. While endowed with a decent education, I am way too trusting and have been taken advantage of by people who were not any smarter than I, but who have the morals of a shyster. These shysters have been saying for the 50 years I can remember, “It’s time for a revolution at the ballot box”. And there have been a few ballot box revolutions in that time that have accomplished absolutely nothing.
This video has no relation to this post – I have always thought it was funny:
The mere statement by a politician that we need a “Revolution at the ballot box” is their way of saying that you can vote all you want to but you can’t really do a damn thing about the way the country is run. You can’t do a damn thing about overspending because you don’t really have anything to do with it. You can’t refuse to go to an undeclared war and fight or you’ll go to jail. You have absolutely no say in how this country is run. You may influence City and County politics. There is a slight possibility that you can influence State politics if you have a bunch of money to throw around but unless you represent an interest with billions of dollars at stake you cannot ever influence the Federal Government.
George Carlin is not trying to be funny in this video: It’s a warning.
The Federal Government as a whole believes you exist to further their wants and desires. If a revolution ever came – a civil war or even a war where all citizens unite against the government and take up our arms against them – our own government would mow us down and chop us to pieces until we lost the stomach for the fight. You can fight city hall, but you can’t fight the Federal Government.
We will not be able to take the country back with a coup. We are pretty much coup – proof if you don’t consider the changing of Democrat to Republican and vice-avers a coup after every election. If we want to truly take the country back we have to do it with a good old fashioned targeted revolution. Burning cars in the streets is not going to help. Torching Federal buildings is not going to help – we need those buildings and they cost money to rebuild. As I see it there is only one way to actually give control of the Federal Government back to the people – and then systematically dismantling corrupt state governments in the same fell swoop. The Military option.
Now to be clear, I am not advocating killing anyone because it won’t be necessary, although the President’s Secret Service Escort will certainly fight to the death to protect him even in a bloodless military coup. The special forces team whose charge it is to secure the president will just have to use blow darts, or taze them bro. We don’t want anyone killed. We want the do-nothing politicians to surrender power, step down and go get a real job outside of government never to run for public office again. This is not a rant against Obama – I kind of like the guy – but he is still part of the problem, and I’d like it very much if he were part of the solution. The military, with a multi-partisan citizens committee as an equal partner would have the task of dismantling the parts of the Federal Government that make no sense and adjusting the size of the government to where all entities be they citizens or corporations would pay their fair share – 10% tax on all income. If you can’t run a government on 10% tax then you need to get out of the governing business. That’s what this is really all about. The Federal Government has no more respect for it’s citizens and they won’t be happy until all our paychecks go to them and they decide how much of an allowance we get back. The unbridled greed and expansion of power has to stop.
Tea Partiers, Occupiers, Registered Voters, Moderates, Liberals, Conservatives (both kinds) and those who are apolitical all agree about one thing – the way the government is working can not continue. We have to do something besides vote the bastards out – then vote some new bastards in. The Military option.
I appeal to the United States Armed Forces: Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, National Guard and any of those that I forgot or don’t know about to come up with a plan to take back this country and then implement that plan. There is no need for violence, only the threat of violence. Find out who is amenable to the task at hand and who isn’t. If those who aren’t are in a position to derail the process they must be sent to a re-education center like Guantanamo. Just until we get things figured out over here, then they can come back. After all they are American Citizens and they have inalienable rights. Oh Congress, by the way you enacted laws that allow us to suspend your rights if you are declared Terrorists or Enemy Combatants, so you need to get used to the idea that this is going to be used against you. By your actions you have, as a collective body, sold this country to the highest bidder be they countries or corporations and this is a reprehensible act against the sovereignty of our Nation. You are hereby branded as Terrorists and if you attempt to defend yourselves in any way you will be labeled Enemy Combatants and the Military can use their drones to kill you and your families. I hereby place you collectively under Citizen’s house arrest. Your options are to do your job and whittle the government down to size right now – not a long term goal, a short term one as in begin immediately or be arrested by the Military.
Military guys, I’ve gotta ask you to play ball with me on this one. Congress passed and the President signed a bill that allows you to arrest them all – The National Defense Authorization Act. You can arrest any American and hold them indefinitely. You know as well as I and the rest of the American people that the Federal Government is FUBARed and can’t continue. You know you are the only option.
When it costs a Billion dollars to run for president then things are seriously wrong and you guys are the only ones in the position to find out why and to fix it. I mean in America anyone can grow up to be president if you have a Billion Dollars? Come on… Bring Colin Powell back for this operation – I’m pretty sure he knows the score. Oh and hey, we want to preserve our facilities so you gotta leave out the guys who love to blow stuff up. Sorry stealth bomber pilots, your role is strictly observational this time. If you guys can pull this off the message to the world will be: Nobody messes with the US Military. Don’t screw with the American people or you’ll have to deal with us. And most importantly AMERICA IS BACK, BABY! TIME TO REGAIN OUR STATUS AS THE COUNTRY EVERYONE WANTS TO BE!
I probably should have had my lawyer take a look at this before I published it since I did call for a military takeover of the Federal Government, but I’m pretty sure the Constitution protects my right to free speech and specifically to talk about and plan for the overthrow of the Federal Government if it becomes too oppressive, but since no one reads this blog anyway who really cares? We’ll just test the First Amendment right here and now. See you in Guantanamo.
