Kidnapped Nation...
And we are aware of it ALL. And still they retain an illegitimate power AND WE LET THEM. America sits aside while a grand theft is occurring in front of their eyes. I feel like a fool sometimes. I document and comment on what is being done. I watch and comment as my MOST PRECIOUS NATION is being HIJACKED.

Suppose it were my own children being kidnapped,is this all i would do as i watched my children being forced into a strangers car? Would i stand motionless and watch as my children screamed to me to stop the kidnapper? Would i simply mutter the actions as they happen to myself and anyone standing alongside me, also frozen with inactivity? I like to think i would not stand idly by and watch this injustice. I like to think i would FIGHT TO THE DEATH for what is precious to me. And yet my precious country is being kidnapped and i do nothing.


Surely the theft of our freedom and democracy is as serious as the kidnapping of our very children. It is, in fact, our children who will suffer the consequences of our passivity.


"When the strongest nation in the world can be tied up for ... years in a war ... with no end in sight, when the richest nation in the world can't manage its own economy, when the nation with the greatest tradition of the rule of law is plagued by unprecedented lawlessness, ... and when the President of the United States cannot travel abroad or to any major city at home without fear of a hostile demonstration - then it's time for new leadership for the United States of America."
-- Richard Nixon, 1968

1. Never thought I'd find myself agreeing with Nixon.

But fascism always works this way. Like boiling the frog--if the water gets hot very slowly, the frog doesn't notice the increase in temperature until it is boiled. And, of course, there is violence and the threat of violence by the state to keep us simmering in the pot. Things got worse and worse incrementally, and, like the Germans, we kept thinking it couldn't get much worse, or that the pendulum would swing back.

We do have the option of fighting to the death. We just don't have the option of winning without outside support. Homeland security has us all on lists, and they've armed and trained local police everywhere in riot and crowd control tactics. The dictator does not allow dissent to approach him, and peaceful protests almost always end with protesters being injured andor jailed.

Whenever we reach an overpopulation peak like the one we're currently experiencing, most people are too busy struggling to survive to be able to keep up with events, and the harder life is, the more willing people are to blame scapegoats and ignore genocides. Overpopulation drives wages down, drives rents up, and provides cannon fodder for wars. So the highest priority of the elites and the war profiteering fascists is to ban abortions, at least for Aryans. They sometimes force abortions on populations they plan to exterminate anyway, so it isn't a "pro-life" principle, just expediency.

I remember when JFK was assassinated and, realizing it was a bloody coup, I tried to leave the country but couldn't--the borders had been closed. That was when I was younger and could work. I envy those who have already gotten out, because it will soon be too late.

2. You're just going to have to watch things get so bad that
even the Limbecile Dildoheads have to wake up. Right now, we're only slightly more than half the country. Our numbers are going to have to increase before any change can happen.

So sit back, protect yourself the best you can, and don't give them a target. Don't let them blame anyone but themselves and their policies. Then watch them devour their own moderates.

And then we win.

3. I share in your frustration. I have always believed that people behave
the way they are ALLOWED to behave. We've got to muster the courage and fight back! I'm just not sure what the most effective way to go about this would be. So, here I am...searching for ways to help return our beloved country to its rightful owners (so to speak); The American People! I never really understood just how much our country means to me. Watching it slip away is terrifying...

4. It is the feeling of helplessness that is worse.
And it is learned helplessness...we have learned that no matter what we do, nothing works...and it just continues to get worse. I do not think we can stop what is happening, but we can..as was said above..protect ourselves as best we can until some power greater than us steps in..and by that i mean not the rapture..ha..but some world power or powers that will finially have had enough..and will put an end to the tyrammy that the usa has continued to engage in for too long.
