From the article:

“Elitists believe that conscience is a hindrance to success, instead of a worthwhile virtue. They knowingly and deliberately abandon their moral compass because they see it as an unnatural restriction, an obstacle that makes getting what they want more difficult… They further attempt to avoid the fact of their own dysfunction by trying to elicit criminality in others. If they can convince the masses that morality is “relative” and that right and wrong are subject to “interpretation”, if they can convince us to ignore our own inner voices which are inborn, then their monstrosity could eventually be considered normal, even preferable. For in a world of moral relativists, the man with a conscience becomes the criminal, the outcast, and the elites become the heroes they always wanted to believe themselves to be.”

Allison H.: Scary stuff. Unfortunately, all too real.

Rayn: Sadly… And, yet, most would rather sympathize with the thieves and murderers of this world, than to support their fellow human beings in the struggle AGAINST such lizards! I seem to remember a similar ancient story involving a fellow named Barabbas… *sigh*

Allison H.: Yep. I’ll meet your sigh and raise you a groan.

Rayn: Indeed!

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

“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!

Is War “Inevitable” in America, or Do State Forces Conspire to Keep Peace Out of Reach?

The following debate originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “The Doublethink is Strong Among Neo-Liberals“…

Rayn: The Doublethink is strong with this one!

"Epic FAIL"

“Epic FAIL”

Katherine C.: Ok, you do realize that no matter what president we get, given the history and present state of the US and the world, and everything the US has dipped its hand into, some form of war is pretty much inevitable.

Jordan K.: Cancer pretty much inevitable too, does that mean we accept it or should we keep trying to find a cure?

Adam G.: Regardless of which party is in control, capitalism needs war and imperialism to stay alive.

Rayn: Of course, Katherine, you comment begs the question: “then, why does the Texan above have a bumper sticker containing the name ‘Obama’ with the a peace sign inside of the ‘O’?” An even better question would be, “why did Obama receive a Nobel Peace Prize, then, if he simply continued this ‘inevitable’ war you speak of?”

Either way, I reject your fallacious Appeal to probability as a cause for inaction, Katherine, and replace it with logic. Slavery is at an all-time high right now in the world. Should we apply your faulty reasoning to this issue, as well, so as to wash our hands of the matter, and do nothing about it? I mean, it’s going to happen anyway, so why bother, right? WRONG!

And, while you may claim that no matter which president gets in, there will be more war, this is actually just Circular reasoning. Since 2004, the public has consistently been presented with a False dichotomy wherein BOTH of the major party primary candidates are PRO-WAR! We have NO IDEA what would take place if this “framing” of the issues were not taking place – with the full support of the mainstream media monopoly!

When our government engages in War Crimes and Crimes against peace as a BIPARTISAN matter of policy, it is completely illegitimate, unacceptable and repugnant, deserving neither our respect, our support, nor our tax dollar funding, as Americans! (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post)

Will Next Four Years of Drone Bombings Be Republican or Democrat?

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “Cindy Sheehan’s Soapbox Radio Show“…

Rayn

“Did you hear? Americans just voted on whether the person firing drone missiles at us is a ‘Democrat’ or ‘Republican'”

Alison H.: Oooof! Perspective!

Video Games Do Not Prepare the Mind for the Grim Realities of War

The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by an acquaintance from here

Rayn

“Maybe we should always show pictures. Bin Laden, pictures of our wounded service people, pictures of maimed innocent civilians. We can only make decisions about war if we see what war actually is – and not as a video game where bodies quickly disappear leaving behind a shiny gold coin.” – Jon Stewart

Diana B.: right. that’ll work!!! ppl who fight tribal wars, chop off heads and parts of babies, men, women and children need to see more pictures of dead people?! mmmk

Rayn: Jon Stewart is referring to America’s youth. It is impossible for the individuals you speak of “who fight tribal wars, chop off heads and parts of babies, men, women and children” to see war “as a video game where bodies quickly disappear leaving behind a shiny gold coin.”

Diana B.: yea, im not so sure most americans have that view of war, but i do think alot of kids have violent perceptions of the world due to whats on TV and in video games. thank Gd we cut our cable, best decision we ever made!
