The 912 March on Washington: the war against liberty and the counterrevolution

912 march on Washington

While many of our countrymen today are rightfully celebrating the resounding success of the 912 March on Washington, it is important not to lose sight of the coming battles in the ongoing war for the future of our republic because like it or not, that is exactly what it is - a war that will decide the future direction of our country, and it must be understood as such or it will certainly be lost. 

It is a war that has been brought upon a people largely unaware of its existence or intent until recently.  It is a war that was declared long ago and fought quietly for many decades as our Federal government has grown to gargantuan proportions, as deliberate efforts have been made to erase our Judeo-Christian heritage, as our history has been re-written, as well-connected interest groups have further corrupted our system of representation, as the system of checks and balances has been deliberately eroded, as the tyranny of moral relativism and political correctness have infiltrated almost every aspect of modern American life, as God has been almost entirely removed from the public discourse and criminalized.  It is a war that many people did not want to acknowledge or fight, that is until they began to realize what losing this war means for their future and that of their children.  It is a war that began long before George Bush and Barack Obama accelerated its pace.
 
Let clarify some important facts as much has been distorted by those in the mainstream press who would lay the whole blame for the current situation squarely on the shoulders of the Bush Administration and a Republican Congress while exonerating President Obama and the current Congress for any responsibility.  While it is painfully obvious to anyone that Bush set the foundation from which Obama would launch his exponential expansion of governmental scope and authority, it is just as obvious to anyone who understands history that neither of these two men are entirely to blame, and that the root of the problem is not a mere Democrat versus Republican issue, but rather the fact that both parties have become corrupt to the core as they have abdicated the public trust in favor of holding onto power by any means whatsoever.  Thus the issue becomes the current framework of corruption that has empowered the two main political parties to claim virtual autonomy when discharging the powers of government, which is in marked contrast to the restrictions placed on government by the Constitution.  Under the Democrat-Republican regime in its current form, government has become de facto and arbitrary the discharge of its power, ignoring Constitutional restraints and the protest of the people.

Let us remember that early on during the Bush Administration many on both the left and the right voiced their concerns over provisions which through legislation, executive orders and Presidential signing statements were understood to pose a threat to and an encroachment upon the civil liberties and basic Constitutional rights of the people of this nation.  Whether or not that was the intent, as some claim it was, is not the issue.  The issue is that a new framework was being developed -and approved- where the apparatus and power of the Federal government was being consolidated and re-focused on establishing "homeland security;" and, more importantly, wherein there became a recognized need to shift the balance of power from being vested in the people to being vested in the apparatus of government in order for the government to accomplish its stated goal. 

The fundamental underlying fact for our republic is that the government of a free people can only perform its stated function of governing, however defined, by the willingness of the people governed to cede to it a portion of their sovereignty, of their rights, sufficient to empower the government to carry out its functions.  It therefore stands to reason that the more duties and functions assumed by government, the more authority is required, and thus the more autonomy (rights) that must be ceded by the people to the benefit of government.  Therefore, as the scope and authority of government grows, the people become less powerful and more disenfranchised.

This is no new phenomenon. And however inconvenient to those on the fringe left and in certain aspects of the mass media, this trend was not begun by George W. Bush; nor is it the creation of Barack Obama.  It has been cumulative over the years, building upon the new foundations established by each succeeding Presidential Administration and Congress.  The age of growing government and of the slow transfer of power from the people to the government, often without their understanding of what was happening, began in earnest with the Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt and has continued incrementally ever since, with the exception of sporadic leaps during the Administrations of FDR, LBJ, George W. Bush and now Barack Obama.

This war of government encroachment against our personal liberty has been ongoing for a long, long time.  It has just been largely ignored by a people well conditioned to its acceptance and inevitability.  Let us also not forget that this war for the expansion of the scope of government has been waged by both Republicans and Democrats over the years, even though each side would have us to believe differently.  Let us understand that in each branch of the Federal government, hypocrisy is a way of life for the vast majority of participants who are consumed with maintaining their hold on power and influence by any means whatever, meaning that they will – and have – compromised themselves, their institutions and the future of this nation in order to do so.  It is, at its essence, the unchecked greed and thus the war waged against the best interests of the people to the benefit of the political elite.

And so how is this war to be fought and won?  The ultimate object being total victory, the people must make themselves heard and must take back control of their country by neutralizing the influence of those who have compromised it, and holding politicians and parties responsible – and this is obviously best achieved by voting the corrupt political class out of office.  This is not a Democrat versus Republican solution: the vast majority of them are corrupt and must be replaced. 

The party apparatus has become undeniably but perhaps not irreversibly corrupted.  The Republican Party has become corporatist, elitist, and statist.  The Democrat Party has become unabashedly statist and now more closely resembles the party of Marx, focused almost solely on usurping the rights of the people and transitioning them to government – reversing the principles upon which the Federal government was established.  The Republicans have been largely complicit and bear equal blame for not defending the founding principles.  They have both lost their way.  But, given the fact that these two main parties are the most influential, it stands to reason that they could well be the best vehicle for returning governmental accountability to the people; but, it follows that the people must fight for and reclaim the principles of these parties, demand they be strictly adhered to, and not tolerate those who would further compromise them.

Make no mistake:  a revolution has been long brewing and is now being unleashed in legislation by statists of a decidedly socialistic bent to completely transform our society.  What many are missing is that our society has already been greatly transformed while we were sleeping.  The growing counterrevolution is the people’s willingness to stop and reverse this transformation: to stand up, be heard and neutralize the power and influence of those on the left and the right who would have the state control them and who have compromised the principles of this nation and enabled this current unfortunate situation to come about.

The counterrevolution has also been brewing since the great awakening with the bankster bailouts last fall, and has been gaining momentum ever since.  Saturday marked a milestone for the counterrevolution when millions of patriots took to the streets in Washington DC and in cities throughout the country.  The claims of certain media outlets that the crowds were no larger than seventy thousand affirm the accusations of negligence and corruption among the political elite and the traditional mass media.  Should one compare a photo of Obama’s inauguration with a photo of Saturday’s march in DC, one would clearly see an equal amount of people demanding to be heard by those who would continue to disenfranchise them.   And like on that day in January when Democrats, Independents and even Republicans came together to celebrate the inauguration of this nation’s first black President, many of these same people came back on Saturday to voice their concern over the continuing exponential expansion of government scope and authority.

The Speaker may continue referring to us using adolescent terms like “Astroturf,” and the White House may continue to pretend we are not there.  They do so to their own political peril.  Media outlets will continue to call us “redneck” and “racist,” and many other names unfit for publication.  MoveOn and other hack organizations will continue to troll conservative and patriot websites, calling names but not disputing facts – because they can’t. But we will continue protest, to be heard and to fight.  We, Democrats, Republicans and Independents will reclaim the parties and hold them accountable.  We will eventually return to true republican government - but not without fighting for it.  They can pretend we are not there, but that doesn’t change the fact that we are – and we are growing stronger by the day.

Government and media propaganda cannot alter the truth.  The truth is that the power is still vested in the people – we only have to exercise it and remind them.
