Learning to Fly

“What the government is, if it be not a tyranny, which the men of our choice have conferred on our President, and the President of our choice has assented to, & accepted over the friendly strangers, to whom the mild spirit of our country, & it’s laws had pledged hospitality & protection: that the men of our choice have more respected the bare suspicions of the President, than the solid rights of innocence, the claims of justification, the sacred force of truth, & the forms and substance of law & justice: in questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution.”
—Thomas Jefferson, 1798.

Our Founders here in America certainly had their blatant blind-spots, but understanding the nature of tyranny was not one of them. And by the way, isn’t it wonderful supporting the slave-labor market yourself due to your rampant consumerism of products made by some of the most oppressed people on earth? And what about the prison labor camps here? “Cuomo’s Convicts Corona-Killer Hand Sanitizer” comes to mind. Buy American.

As usual, we should start by looking in the mirror. It appears that we’ve merely found more sophisticated ways of lying to ourselves. And let’s not even get into the continuing genocide of others; that’s the one constant about America that never changes, and it looks like it will remain that way until the bitter end.

Whatever their transgressions, our Founders left us with the Constitution including our Bill of Rights with even moderate adherence to this document resulting in the freest people on earth.

But the truth is that Americans were never really more than house slaves. As long as most had much of what they wanted (or could by hard work or cheating others achieve it), they were okay with perpetual government intrusions that have whittled away the original meaning of this document down to nothing. When you need government to define for you your own inalienable rights, the show is pretty much over.

Somewhere down the line, we lost sight of why the document was written, falling for their “endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary” while never understanding that protection from our true common enemy was why the document was written.

The Constitution wasn’t written to protect us from terrorists. It was meant to protect us from our own government. And the current bio-weapon collaboration is far from the first time they have betrayed us.

In my lifetime, we have allowed them to get away with such things as Operation Northwoods document, the deep-state assassination of JFK, the Gulf of Tonkin hoax, the 9/11 false flag and multiple Middle East invasions, none of which were attacked for the reasons given.

Had “We the People” awakened en masse and demanded justice regarding any one of these previous events, we would not be where we are today. None would betray us if we had left the previous traitors swinging at the end of a rope. Trump would have remained an obscure and crude joke instead of the current exacerbator of our misery.

In other words, the vast majority of the American people are a bunch of spineless sell-outs who allowed their presidents to literally destroy the constitutional restraints placed upon their power. And they have yet to feel the full force of what they have unleashed upon themselves because of it.

When it comes to the virus, America is screwed. We’ve not yet reached the peak of what this weapon is capable of doing, including when its after-effects are mixed with something else down the line. Also, they’re obviously messing with genetics as people of color are dying at a much more rapid pace than the rest.

But if the economy remains closed for much longer, the entire thing will collapse. The problem is that, while the enemy has detailed plans for the future that they are implementing now, we have no plan nor do most even know their common enemy.

At the end of all this, the choice will be for us to go hungry or to fight back. But the U.S. government’s definition of a terrorist is someone who fights back.

Do you not see the perfection of it all? The sadness of watching the destruction could turn to joy if we were ready to run our own lives. Sadly, our last two presidents and especially the current one has shown that their supporters will follow them all the way down to the ground. And that is exactly where he is taking them.

Freedom is not riding the “Tilt-a-Whirl” during a pandemic. Freedom is walking away from anything calling itself government and running our own lives on a community level.

It’s either that or our government is going to end up forcing us to barter our freedom for the goods in their stolen supply-chain.

Jefferson was right in the first place. Government is tyranny.
