One of the easier tactics against Americans is to divide Americans. One of Saul Alinksy’s urgings was to vex people and alienate against each other, thereby dividing them. More are beginning to feel this.
The left in America pushed for acceptance and open-mindedness in the sixties, but when it got its way -- in divorce law, gun control, education, environment and thought – it tended to silence others as ‘offensive’, ‘hateful’ and worse, and created Political Co-reckless, a sort of phoney etiquette that was censorship in disguise. Fooled again by the left, then coerced and punished by the left, as Americans had a genuine interest in compassion and cooperation. We were played.
But this cooperation nullified critical thinking, and too many wound up loathing each other, the short-term goal of the so-called Correctness. Americans are divided by ridiculing some who might have warnings that the present day crises were coming. They were called nuts, control freaks, and fringe groups.
Today, among the fringe groups, you have the currency groups who warn of international currency pre-emption and the loss of our Dollar. They urge recognition of real money, the concept of something with inherent value, such as Gold and Silver. Caution: that means Independence, and it will show up on the socialist radar as oppositional to what they are trying to do. On discovery, though, Americans really don’t seem to agree with what officials are trying to do, and why should they: the Constitution fringe groups point out that the electorate are the sovereign and the servants are.. well, servants.
As real problems arose in 2008 and 2009, the warnings of these ‘fringe groups’ seem to be coming true, and it has a unifying effect on more and more of America. It’s been put recently as awakening the sleeping giant.
There are the food and commodity shortage groups, those observers who see the changes around the globe and understand their meaning for the United State; the rice shortages there, the corn shortages here while these are now prioritized for fuel consumption more than human consumption from the Green Movement. The effect of these is to close all alternatives and to come under a dependency of attrition. These affect prices of other commodities as diverting assets. The sudden need for corn as fuel coinciding with the refusal of nuclear power as energy make one example of how crisis is grown to the detriment of the nation.
There are the Vaccination groups who believe that officials cannot vaccinate and enforce vaccinations without a health care law in place first.
There are the legal eagle fringe groups who point out that law after law is made possible only because of an earlier law, where the end goal was something sneaked in that the people would never approve otherwise.
Then there’s gun control, a division of Americans a few generations by now. Division is created by more than 20,000 gun laws, by misinformed and intentionally negligent media, calling gun owners hate groups and militia-types, and as Timothy Mcveigh-types and gunslingers, vigilantes. America hasn’t even felt this kind of targeting of her as a totality until around 2008 when non-gun owners began to feel the indignity of abuses of powers the way gun owners feel it.
There are the New World Order watchdog groups who warn of how significant all of these are and how and where they are related. These are the overall warning of all so-called fringe groups observers: the idea that all of this comes over all Americans, not just those who spend money, eat food or defend themselves. These come over Americans imperceptibly, seeming reasonable at first, but only too late do they become obviously predatory.
America was warned. By the fringe groups.
Society tends to be its own gatekeeper and her constituents seem to like being left alone. More and more would prefer, it seems, to work without a net in Independence. Has ignoring the fringe groups been the right thing to do, or will America heed the warnings and make the right choice with some help from the so-called fringe?
Heed of the so-called fringe is taking root. Society’s gatekeeper has admitted the fringe to the mainstream, two of the latest being the so-called survivalist values system of preparedness and loving it, and the so-called second amendment enthusiasts. These liberty purists believe that the armed citizen is the key to unlocking all of the dependency programs currently oppressing millions. The survivalists are meeting and shaking hands with the big city folks, and the heads of household are shaking hands with the armed citizen Americans.
The Sleeping Giant is having her coffee and knows she has work to do. The sleeping giant is Lady Liberty. [Lady Liberty is not the Statue of Liberty; Lady Liberty is an American citizen, she was born here long before, and you can’t tell whether she carries or not, but you can guess.]
These liberty purists believe that the armed citizen is the key to unlocking all of the dependency programs currently oppressing millions. The key.
One important thing: all of these groups are patriotic groups. They are not anti-government, they are supportive of government in a nation of self-rule and Independence where the government has limits, not fiat. Why does the official have a problem with the sovereign? It is this the awakened giant of the electorate will be examining now.
Truly, as gun control goes, so goes the nation. As freedom goes, so goes the nation.

Great article again, John. It does seem that more and more Americans are finally starting to awaken from their stupor.
I'm sure you know this by now, John; but, Ted Kennedy is no more. I just hope this country doesn't do anything stupid, like passing more gun-control legislation, as a "commemorative" gesture, to the man who brought us Chappaquiddick.
..and you know, that sounds like them, doesn't it?
The tie-in is how official abuses of the electorate are related to gun control. The key, then, is to unwind gun control, and tens of millions of Americans will see how other boondoggle programs messing with their freedoms unwind and set things right again for all.
Can't put hyperlinks here, but I can send you to Google 'News With Views, Longenecker' to read "How the repeal of all gun laws will free America". It's a three-part series.
Liberty.
Nex ut Tyrannus!
Turn the CZARS into pig poop.
Effect Operation Consequence.
The hogs are hungry.
We CANNOT AFFORD to wait another year for the elections! Current Consequences needed to influence "the Rulers" NOW!
God helped us with Kennedy and recently intervened on our behalf with Dodd.
But, God will only help those who help themselves. They cannot "cram anything down our throats if they don't have the votes now can they!:
The hogs are hungry!
I think spook, really is a spook. Only a govt. agent provocateur would post a comment like that. These agents are legion and are well paid to discredit Freedom and Liberty lovers. May God continue to enlighten the people of our Country and help them wake up from the hypnotic trance they've been subjected to.
When I say govt. agent provocateur, I don't mean Constitutional Government. I mean nwo/owg shadow govt., the one that is in control of our Country now. The oath that these traitors take is violated, just like our Constitution is. That is the betrayal that makes them traitors!
Another great article, John. And another great comment,Emmett. I've wondered where the spook type comments really come from.
Great article yet again, John. Agreed Emmett. Now, my direct response to Spook.
My ancestors were here for the first Revolution, and before. Those people bided their time for DECADES, and tried every peaceful means they could devise before turning to arms. You want a laundry list of BOTH what they tried, and what they ENDURED? Read the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson was very careful that these "facts be submitted to a candid world."
We heirs of that founding generation are just as determined, just as patient - and just as moral. We remain armed and resolute; seek every peaceful means to redress our grievances with the usurping government which has unconstitutionally abrogated so much power to itself. Until the very first bullet flies - which none of US will fire - we continue to "work within the system" as we always have. While always keeping in mind that taking up arms against TYRANNY IS the final safeguard of "the system".
