How Denmark Fought the Nazi Terror:

(Marco den Ouden) Once there was a political leader with a wild hairdo and a powerful speaking style who had a knack for haranguing an audience. He preyed on their fears and blamed the country’s woes on outsiders and a phalanx of enemies within. Enemies of a certain religion that he declared dangerous. These people, he averred should be rounded up and deported.

I am speaking, of course, of Adolf Hitler. Later he decided deporting Jews to Madagascar was not efficient enough. Better to just kill them off. He marched his armies into other European countries and set up puppet governments. And he ordered that the Jews in these occupied countries be deported to the extermination camps in Germany and Poland.

My Commentary: Denmark represents “the only case we know of in which the Nazis met with open native resistance, and the result seems to have been that those exposed to it changed their minds. They themselves apparently no longer looked upon the extermination of a whole people as a matter of course. They had met with resistance based on principle, and their ‘toughness’ had melted like butter in the sun, they had even been able to show a few timid beginnings of genuine courage.”

Hint: They passively resisted the Third Reich, refusing to consent with, or carry out, any immoral Nazi decrees handed down to them, while they also offered super-obedience, too, refusing the Nazi yellow star identification system unless implemented nationwide, and starting with the King, himself – which successfully prevented it from taking hold. They completely disobeyed the Nazi decree that native Jews be distinguished from refugee Jew, even Finally, every citizen was ready and willing to hide Jewish people inside their homes to keep them safe.

Disobey!

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “The Great Work,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

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!
