Good Old Fashioned Tyranny

Warning: This message may anger some people in the "patriot movement." 

Power corrupts. People in power can be dishonest, corrupt, lawless, etc. They don't have to be brilliant, or have a conspiracy, or have a secret club, or do anything else, in order to be corrupt and lawless. 

I have heard, and continue to hear, half a zillion theories about how some magical secret trick made it "legal" for those in government to ignore the Constitution. We use zip codes, so we suddenly become the property of the federal government, and they can do whatever they want. We call ourselves "U.S. citizens," or we walk into a courtroom with a gold fringe on the flag, or we have a Social Security number, or we use federal reserve notes, so the Constitution doesn't apply. Or they are making up corporations, or something, by spelling our name in all capital letters. Ot they made "federal zones" overlying all of the states. Or there are two, or three, or 57 different constitutions, or governments, or "United States"s, or it's a corporation, or it's still part of the British Crown, or the IRS isn't part of the U.S. government, etc., etc., etc. 

What all of these claims have in common is that they attempt to explain government lawless by some secret, "legal" conspiracy, that somehow makes it LEGITIMATE. And the flip side is: if we can just say the magic words, and show them we know their secret handshake, then they'll leave us alone. 

Why is it so difficult to accept the real truth?: this is just good old-fashioned tyranny. They don't need a secret manipulation and song and dance, or some intricate conspiratorial trick. In many instances, they just IGNORE the law, and the Constitution, and the truth, and their paid off court system blesses their actions. It's no more complicated than that. (That's what I've been trying to show for the past eight years.) 

If I had to guess, I'd say that people are scared to death of the possibility that "the system" will not do the right thing, so they want there to be some secret word, or secret procedure, that will make tyrants respond with "well shucks, ya caught us, so now we'll leave you alone." There isn't one. Either the people stop tyranny WITHOUT the help of those in power, or tyranny continues. It's that simple. 

I hate to be a party-pooper, but if anyone is trying to persuade you that some secret procedure will make you immune from tyranny, ignore them. The all-important "silver bullet" is not a procedure, or a law, or a theory, or a claim; it is an EDUCATED and concerned CITIZENRY, willing and able to drag the tyrants back into their Constitutional cages, while they scream and cry, insult and threaten. If that doesn't do it, nothing will. 

Sincerely, 

Larken Rose
