Tomorrow's War

In May of 1940, with tensions increasing in Europe and the German invasion of Poland, France and Germany prepared themselves for another Great War. The French had built the Maginot Line, a massive fortification of bunkers and artillery emplacements along the French German border and anticipated a long and bloody conflict, much like they fought in WWI.


But it never came.


Instead, the Germans had developed what they called the 'Blitzkrieg' and what we now know to be modern mechanized warfare. They had mobilized their infantry, bypassing the Maginot line and quickly caught the French flatfooted with an end-around through Belgium. The British Expeditionary Force was forced to retreat home with their tail between their legs, and the German won a stunning military victory.


The French lost their country, not necessarily due to poor planning or a lack of military reserves; they simply were not prepared to fight Tomorrow's war- they were still fighting Yesterday's war, planning for a repeat of WWI. In fact, most huge military losses through out the course of history, were due to the loser fighting a war that didn't exist anymore; from Wallace's loss at Falkirk to Russia's loss in Afghanistan.


And now, Tomorrow's war is upon us again.


But this time it's not being fought with guns or knives or even armed troops. The powers that be in this world are now raging a war in the financial markets and court systems in nations backyards. It's being fought for the same reasons most wars are fought- money and power- but it is foolish not to recognize it for what it is, a war.


There are very powerful people in this world, and are much like the monarchs of old. They seek to expand their power, domain and influence. But not with troops this time. They are fighting the war with the pen and using the legal system and financial elements to establish dictatorial like powers over the masses.


They are the George Soros' of the world, and other people who we have not seen yet that are influencing the systems of the world to increase their stature. And like King Edward at Falkirk, they are using technology and fighting Tomorrow's war while we are left standing flat footed expecting our carriers and tanks to protect us.


They can't.


The power of an idea is one of the most deadly weapons you can use in a free society. They are using their money and influence to buy ideas in the marketplace and then use them as weapons against what is standing in their way of them and their grab for power.


American freedom. Capitalism. Our Constitution.


All of them are under attack daily from these nefarious elements, in a war we had better get started fighting. They know that as long as people can do what they want, and when they want, they will never have full control of governments. And so they seek to destroy the will of the American people and it laws. They turn things upside down in an effort to tear down the idea that each of us is free to live a self determined life, that all men are equal under the eyes of the law, that we are all free to decide our own destinies.


Up is down. Black is white.


Every idea that could pose a threat to them is being systematically attacked and destroyed. They use the power of regulation to determine how and where our financial markets operate. They pack our court system with left leaning judges to circumvent the rule of law and the Constitution. They convince us that the world is doomed by the very act of acting freely- the green movement. And by doing so, they increase their sway over our lives.


It's time to fight back. Each individual must understand that this fight is not fought with guns but with ideas. We need to start at the community level, in the same way our enemies did. Talk to our neighbors, make them understand the dangers of a government that would tell us how to live our lives. Write to our Congressmen and vote them out if they don't start working to dismantle the machines of our enemies.


Defending our Constitution has never become so important.


In November, America is probably facing the most important election since our Civil War. It will define us as a nation- do we stand for freedom of will and the Constitution, or do we surrender ourselves to the Philistines and allow them to direct our lives under the false idol of safety, security and protection. It's not too late, just as it wasn't too late when the British left at Dunkirk. Battles have been lost, but not the War, not yet.


Do we let the King come back to power to defend us, or do we pick up the pitchforks and defend ourselves- and in turn live our lives free from feudal rule.


It's your decision.


Fight Tomorrow's war in your neighborhood's today, or end up tucking tail and running across the English channel and losing because we are still fighting Yesterday's war.

The Return of Feudalism

For those of you who may not have noticed, a number of world leaders have been attending the Copenhagen meetings with a lot of enthusiasm and public speeches in the last year. And why shouldn't they? They are representative of the turn of the tides of power away from the freedom of capitalism and a return to the tyranny of the elite over the individual.


And the motivating force behind the move away from capitalism? The green movement, and the control of resources once again by government.  In short, a restoration of the forces of feudalism.


Excuse me, what? Feudalism?


In the 'bad old days' of the Middle Ages, government was, in most parts, run by a concept described by some historian as 'feudalism'. Although some historians simply describe feudalism as despotic rule, and/or tyranny, feudalism is a term used when the elite or nobility has control over lower classes and their resources, through voluntary or deeded titular title and landholdings.


So how does that relate to Copenhagen, global warming and the green movement?


The nobility in those days kept tight control over the kingdom's resources. Shooting a king's deer or mining or drilling for water on the king's land meant severe repercussions for those doing so without permission from the king. Permission was defined as a title and for that title, a certain tax or 'levy' was assessed yearly by the king.  Thus control of those resources allowed the king to maintain power, through the use of those tax funds to amass armies and defend their noble rights, some of which were quite onerous. It also made it difficult for the masses to amount to much during a civil insurrection since they could not raise capital to amass weapons without significant resource holdings. Using this system, nobles held sway over large portions of the world for many generations.


It wasn't until the rise of mechanization, and the ability of the masses to gather wealth, and the eventual expansion of the New World, that this system finally lost its grip over mankind. Keep in mind, this was fairly recent from an historical point of view- only about 350 years. The control of the kingdom's resources goes back to the Roman Empire, and the concept of classes and nobility even further.


Now, look at the green movement and what does it want to accomplish? Well, first off, it wants the people of the world to stop using up resources and issue harsh penalties to those that don't comply. It want to control that distribution of resources to those who control their respective governments, and to essentially centrally control the distribution of said resources (i.e. wealth) to the citizens they see fit to. This is better known as 'cap and trade'. The wealthy or 'nobles' will be able to buy carbon credits to use as much resources as they want, while the poorer people will have to limit their consumption. Sound familiar?


One of the big shakers and movers in this movement is guess who- the Royal House of England and Prince Charles. Charles has been huge on the environmental movement for some time and heavily involved in the green efforts worldwide. It would benefit the royal houses greatly for a return to centralized resource control and thus, centralized power in the hands of the few. most of the other royal houses of Europe are also similarly aligned with Charles on this matter.

Keep in mind that it doesn't take all these leaders to actively conspire together to restore power- its just they act in a similar fashion to achieve a common goal- power and wealth in the hands of the few, with control over the hands of the many.


The big culprit and enemy in this green movement is of course, the United States, who for years has amassed power and wealth in its free citizenry by thumbing its nose at the nobility and killing as many of the king's deer as they could- and establishing the first true free republic in human history under the banner of capitalism.


I'm sure more than a few blue bloods are a wee bit upset at that- that 1500 years of power and rule came to a screeching stop.


And now we have a President who fell for the green story, hook line and sinker. The President believes, like most of Europe and some of Asia, that America is somehow evil for making the most of her vast natural resources, and allowing individuals to have the highest standard of living in the world, while limiting the power of its leaders. Shameful aren't we? Shameful that America produces 90% of the world's wealth without so much as a good whipping or a month in the dungeon to build character.


That's what these geniuses will send us back to if they have their way though. Exploding our debt while increasing our energy costs and limiting personal wealth, and limiting personal freedoms will certainly go a long way to keeping the American people in line though won't it.


Bah- down with the Kings! Long Live American capitalism and the freedoms it brings.

Why The Carpetbaggers Are In Town

I've been following the SB 1070 debate quite closely for the last few months, and although I always knew that SB 1070 had some legal problems as it related to enforcement and Constitutionality ( see previous articles I have written) I generally supported the law since it gave law enforcement another tool to enforce the deportation of illegal aliens who were in violation of the law.


I also knew it would be used as a political tool by many as way to garner Hispanic votes in probably one of the most critical elections of this century in November. It was for that reason, that I was hoping the law would not have been put forth in the first place. However now that it is in place, I have to say if I were Hispanic, I most certainly would NOT be siding with those trying to cozy up votes in the fall. More importantly, allowing an open border policy, it would continue to encourage the exploitation of a people and further keep those in poverty and seeking a better life to stay that way.


Let me explain.


A person or persons who cross the border illegally into the United States are, by and large, working people who live in Third World conditions and want something better for themselves than what Mexico can offer. Yes, there are a considerable amount of drugs, habitual criminals and mules, that use an open border, but that's for another debate.


This is most certainly the argument of the Hispanic community on this issue- that they are not criminals.


But if indeed many illegal immigrants coming to this country are seeking a better life they most certainly will not find it here as an illegal resident. For one, an illegal resident will not be able to vote and involve themselves with the process of having a say in government. The rights of representation are fundamental to what America is all about. In fact, it was this point of representation in government that was the lynchpin of the American Revolution.


Secondly, an illegal resident can not own property, establish a financial background through banking and credit establishments, and must commit identity theft to establish residency to gain legitimate employment. This means the illegal resident will not be able to move forward with any kind of wealth. They will be relegated to a 'cash and carry' subsistence, living hand to mouth, subject to blackmail, and be dependent upon the whims of an employer that might be sympathetic to their plight.


And plight it is.


Lastly, without the ability to integrate themselves into society they will never be a part of American society mainstream. They will not be able to participate in many of the things we take for granted in daily life. They will live out of their wallet.


Being labor to society that profits off that labor without sharing in its benefits is exploitation of the worst kind- and those that support a policy that allows this exploitation to continue are no better than the slave owners of our own ignominious history. These elitists want to be able to pack the ballot boxes and encourage racial tension to further their own interests, and line their own pockets.


It is not racism to ask that people that come to this country to integrate into our society and be part of a greater whole.


It is racism to enforce the will of the landowner against the ability of the labor to do the work- which is precisely what those who are against SB 1070 want to do. They want to keep the status quo where people crawl across the desert to eek out a marginal living and support the policies that keep them in power.


This is a definition of those who believe that free people are too stupid or meaningless to put the control of their destiny in their own hands. Those that are against SB 1070 support big government, and control of freedom of rights and self determination. This is no coincidence.


We must stand together in the fight for SB 1070. It is unethical and yes, racist, to do otherwise.
