Discussing Both Tax Resistance AND Super-obedience as Means of Non-Violent Revolution

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall…

Jesus G.:

"If a thousand men were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. That is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution. When the subject has refused allegiance, and the officer has resigned his office, then the revolution is accomplished." - Henry David Thoreau

Rayn: Indeed!Or, alternatively, what if EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN itemized their tax returns next year? The system isn’t even close to prepared for ALL of us to exercise our rights to the full extent of the law, so such an event would back-log the IRS for YEARS – proving the illegitimacy of the agency! The American system of tax collection fully banks (figurative and literally) on our ignorance, our apathy and our fear! And, yet, super-obedience will clog the cogs just as well as refusal! This is what I have been suggesting to others who know how rotten this system is that we all band together and do, since I know that most people wouldn’t even dream of not paying the compulsory 30%+ of their earned income that the government demands in tithes – oh, whoops – I mean “taxes.”

Yet, as you can guess, most people can’t even be bothered to do this much! Mention super-obedience, and the admissions finally come out rolling out about how they don’t have the time for such a coordinated effort, or how Big Daddy government “won’t allow it,” and would declare martial law, and collectively punish us! LOL! “Land of the free”? What a bunch of propaganda! More like: “Land of the Thief, Home of the Slave!” Talk about doublethink! I guess it’s easier to live as sheeple for most, being herded and fleeced by the ravenous wolves and greedy pigs that are running the death-system we live under!

You can lead a sheep to slaughter, but you can’t make him think!

Hiroshima and Nagasaki Attacks Were Acts of American Terrorism

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “The Non-Aggression Principle“…

Rayn:

(Hiroshima 60th Anniversary) "Which terrorist group did that?"

(Hiroshima 60th Anniversary) “Which terrorist group did that?”

Adam G.: The politics around this are super disturbing: no less than 200,000 Japanese dead from an act of intimidation against the USSR.

Rayn: SUPER, indeed! And, yet, many Americans happily justify this act of terrorism, and the mass-murder of civilians that it caused, as a “necessary” step towards ending WWII. Yet, to demolish that lie: would such an excuse be valid for the Iraq government to use, even after enduring an unprovoked attack by the American military, based on a pure lie? NO, of course not!

Man With Down Syndrome Murdered By Three Off-Duty Police Working Security for Movie Theater

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following captioned photo here, being shared by my friend, and fellow Autistic self-advocate, Jason Ross, and originally posted it to my own wall…

ELEVEN DOLLARS On January 14, 2013, a young man with Down Syndrome went with his companion to see Zero Dark Thirty at the Regal Cinema in Frederick, MD. At the end of the movie, apparently because he wanted to see it again, he refused to get out of his seat. A Regal employee, rather than allowing him to stay and dealing with the situation later with his parents and the companion, called not one, not two, but three off duty Frederick County police officers who were working security for the theater at the time. According to published reports, when the officers/ security guards asked him to leave, he mouthed off at them and "resisted arrest". Those of you who know my son Landon can visualize what this would look like. In response, the officers wrestled him to the ground where he asphyxiated in handcuffs. The handcuffs were removed and EMS called and according to the police news release he later died at hospital. I don't know how that reconciles with the coroner's finding of asphyxiation which I thought was pretty immediate. The price of a ticket at the cinema is between $9 and $11. The additional cost to Regal of allowing him to watch the movie again was ZERO. But instead a beloved young man died on the floor of a movie theater in his neighborhood at the hands of people he was taught would protect him.

My Commentary: Rest in Peace, Robert Saylor. It’s a damn shame that you died so young, and so unnecessarily…

“In as much as you have done it to one of the least of my brethren, you have done it unto me.” – יהושוע

What happened to Mr. Saylor is absolutely sickening to the very core, and really boils my blood! It is yet another case of American Fascism, Exposed – revealing the eager escalation to violence that is inherent to all false authority!

Critical thinking demands an answer to the following questions:
