Preparing For Coming Crisis

During that time, newly elected President Johnson, a Democrat who was apparently displeased with Hess for having been a Republican[citation needed], ordered the Internal Revenue Service to audit him. When Hess asked if a certain deduction he had claimed was right, his auditor reportedly replied, "It doesn't matter if it's right; what matters is the law." Incensed that the auditor would see a difference between what was "right" and "law," Hess sent the IRS a copy of the Declaration of Independence with a letter saying that he would never again pay taxes. The IRS charged him with tax resistance, confiscated most of his property and put a 100% lien on his future earnings. When implementing the penalty, the IRS told Hess that he no longer would be permitted to possess money; he reminded them that without money he could not buy food and would soon die. The IRS said that was his problem, not theirs. Remarkably, Hess was never incarcerated on this matter, probably due to astute, pro bono legal representation and his status as a folk hero. He was supported financially thereafter by his wife and used barter to keep himself busy. Later, however, he expressed ambivalence about becoming America's most notorious tax resister and wrote that his act of civil disobedience could have effected dramatic reforms in tax law had 10 million or more of his fellow Americans joined him in defying the IRS.

I worked hard for Ross Perot in 1992, when the USA still had a chance to get a large % of it's wealth transfered back into gold & silver.

At this point, I think it is much too late, even if Paul wins, because if only 1% of the USA paper wealth tried to move into gold & silver, then a massive derivatives implosion would rain down, gold & silver would jump 10 - 100 - 1000 times in price rapidly, and never would a significant % of the population be able to secure their net worth into gold & silver.

In essense, the cabal has enacted a "golden parachute" clause, in that in order to kick them out, we also destroy ourselves temporarily and have to rebuild from a huge depression (wars, famine, etc).

In my view, returning to gold & silver is inevitable, thus destitution and a great depression are inevitable. I think the MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE now is how people will handle the inevitable famine & suffering they can no longer escape (no matter what they do).

I think this is why Ron Paul is being allowed by the cabal to succeed. They are presenting some token obstacles, but they are not really try to wipe him out. Ron Paul will be a scapegoat, if the people are not in touch with the reality that confronts them ahead.

The reality is that people have to learn to trust God, free trade, stop usury, use honest measure & weights, and endure any sacrifices to do these things, even though they will face a massive Great Depression to get back to these truths.

However, the people are not flirting with reality, instead they are walking directly into the cabal's trap, by thinking they can somehow have their cake and eat it also. THe very people who are supporting Ron Paul, are not prepared for the Great Depression that they are harvesting, by supporting the return to Gold & Silver as the cabal also wants.

THe cabal knows very well that the vast majority of the people will "kick & scream" like spoiled brats when the harvest (Great Depression) comes to fruition. And they will once again demand goverment do something to solve the problem...Ron Paul will be blamed for wrecking the economy...and the world govt will be de facto winner of confused people who can't face reality and who want their damn usury and want to blame their failed debt lives on something other than themselves...

That is why I find politics to be useless exercise in revealing the weaknesses of the lowest common denominator of society.

Yes we need gold & silver as money, but we also need the people to realize why usury is evil, without that realization, the return to gold & silver as money will be nothing more than an exercise in proving just how well the cabal can serve the weakness of mankind.

In short, we don't need govt, nation states, etc... we need people to learn how to be free from usury (moneylending cabals), use honest weights & measures, etc..

And that is a fantasy, we just have to do our individual best to be free and wait for the return of Jesus to clean out the earth of all the evil.

Even in the U.S.' own war games conducted a few years ago, the U.S. Navy lost against these things. If the U.S. tries to open the Strait of Hormuz by force against Iran, I think it's likely that most of the fleet will soon be turned into an artificial reef that divers in future decades will explore with morbid fascination. Militaries always fight the last war, and that's precisely what the U.S. is doing with its carriers and B-2s.

Bush and Obama said it is just a piece of paper. We are not allowed to use deadly force to protect our property in most cases. We are even not allowed to use deadly force if our life was threatened but the assailant has turned his back. We are not allowed to use pre-emptive deadly force...

Someone replied to the above post of mine, and said that some states that is not true:

Reading the NYT's stories about the Iraq War logs, I was struck by how it could get through such gruesome descriptions — fingers chopped off, chemicals splashed on prisoners — without using the word 'torture.' For some reason the word is unavailable when it is literally meaningful, yet is readily tossed around for laughs in contexts where it means nothing at all. It turns out the NYT has a reputation for studiously avoiding the word, to the point of using bizarre bureaucratic alternatives.

It must be awfully hard work inventing these things. So I thought I'd help out by putting together a torture euphemism generator that the New York Times' reporters can use to help avoid the T-word in their thumb removal and acid bath coverage.

Much of the media, as we now see, especially leading American media outlets, were complicit in a multi-year cover-up of truths and crimes that continue to this day, not just in Iraq or Afghanistan, but in our living rooms at home.
