As The Oligarchy Creates A New Group of Revolutionaries, by Paul Rosenberg

Posted on January 31, 2021 | Leave a comment

There are a lot of justifiably pissed off people out there. From Paul Rosenberg at freemansperspective.com:

As I write this, the Wall Street complex is creating a new group of radicals… a potent new group of radicals. By now, you probably know the outline of the story:

A large number of young people, many of them locked out of work, used their time to poke around the stock market, looking for opportunities; something that micro-trading apps, stimulus checks and the Internet made practical. Soon enough they discovered hedge funds doing the nasty things that hedge funds do… and turned their game back upon them. They crashed at least one of them.

Bear in mind that this was done by the rules. Except that the big, unwritten rule was violated:

We’re powerful and you’re not.

The Security and Exchange Commission – the people who investigated Bernie Madoff three times and found nothing – stepped in to do what it does: protect the overlords. They issued behind-the-scenes orders, stopped the upstarts and saved their friends… and a day later issued statements meant to make it all look okay… and to convince the 401k class that all was well.

What they really did was expose their true purpose: To protect the overlords and bullshit the rubes.

America’s Revolutionary Founders Would Be Anti-Government Extremists Today, by John W. Whitehead

Posted on June 30, 2020 | Leave a comment

If you’re an anti-government extremist you’re in great company. From John W. Whitehead at rutherford.org:

It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government.”—Thomas Paine

“When the government violates the people’s rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensable of duties.”—Marquis De Lafayette

Had the Declaration of Independence been written today, it would have rendered its signers extremists or terrorists, resulting in them being placed on a government watch list, targeted for surveillance of their activities and correspondence, and potentially arrested, held indefinitely, stripped of their rights and labeled enemy combatants.

This is no longer the stuff of speculation and warning.

In fact, Attorney General William Barr recently announced plans to target, track and surveil “anti-government extremists” and preemptively nip in the bud any “threats” to  public safety and the rule of law.

It doesn’t matter that the stated purpose of Barr’s anti-government extremist task force is to investigate dissidents on the far right (the “boogaloo” movement) and far left (antifa, a loosely organized anti-fascist group) who have been accused of instigating violence and disrupting peaceful protests.

Boogaloo and Antifa have given the government the perfect excuse for declaring war (with all that entails: surveillance, threat assessments, pre-crime, etc.) against so-called anti-government extremists.

Without a doubt, America’s revolutionary founders would have been at the top of Barr’s list.

After all, the people who fomented the American Revolution spoke out at rallies, distributed critical pamphlets, wrote scathing editorials and took to the streets in protest. They were rebelling against a government they saw as being excessive in its taxation and spending. For their efforts, they were demonized and painted as an angry mob, extremists akin to terrorists, by the ruler of the day, King George III.
