The State vs. the People

A long, one-sided war

There are lots of people that follow me who are anarchists. I used to be against anarchy. After all, you must have some order to a society, right? Otherwise, the law of the jungle will prevail. The biggest and strongest, the most aggressive, will take charge. But at this point, exactly what authority is there that deserves our respect?

The great mass of people, all over the world, have always been essentially at war with their overlords. Think of the English peasants tasked to stay awake all night and knock the frogs off the lily pads, so that the Royals in their nearby castles could sleep. In more recent times, think of all those poor souls in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, toiling all day in the coal mines. Dying way before their time of black lung disease. The whole capital vs. labor battle was born because those who employ others will naturally want to pay them as little as possible. I’m certainly no fan of Karl Marx, but his basic premise was correct; most workers are being exploited. Huey Long won my undying admiration because he understood this crucial point.

You could justifiably say that when Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington at Yorktown, it represented perhaps the only victory the People have ever won in this perpetual war against their masters. It was certainly a great victory on paper. The timeless words of the Declaration of Independence, written so eloquently by the now thoroughly defamed “racist” Thomas Jefferson, represented a watershed motion in human history. It was a revolutionary concept to say that we have an inherent right to consent to those who govern us. That we have inalienable rights that come from our Creator, not from any government. If only the Jeffersonians had prevailed in the ideological battle with the Hamiltonians, we’d all have more freedom today. But then, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the overpriced, Broadway hip hop spectacle Hamilton.

Our Founding Fathers recognized that an overreaching central authority held the potential to become a collective despotic king. Their original Articles of Confederation reflected this. The Constitution was only made palatable by the inclusion of the Bill of Rights, and the strict separation of powers. The separation of powers was usurped first by the Judiciary, under John Marshall, and then shattered forever by the first imperial president, Abraham Lincoln. Once our second “greatest” president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, began constructing the unconstitutional leviathan we came to know and love as the Bureaucracy, it was inevitable that we’d reach the point where we are today; at the mercy of a heartless, cold-blooded Orwellian monstrosity. Unable to do anything of significance without governmental permission.

Those who run our disastrous Bureaucracy are the descendants of the kings who ordered peasants to beat those lily pads at night. The FBI, CIA, and NSA are the logical heirs to the tyrant Lincoln, and to FDR, who established the modern FBI in 1935, and used them in his quest to “cancel” all those who disagreed with him. I explore that in depth in the upcoming American Memory Hole. Along with the Military Industrial Complex, these intelligence agencies (all still with top-secret budgets) give today’s despots and tyrants a most impressive arsenal to wage their war against the People. We are the figurative Little Sisters of the Poor, and they are an impenetrable super villain. They don’t have a weakness for kryptonite, or an Achilles’ heel .

In America 2.0, this eternal struggle has become crystal clear, at least to the millions who are “awake” to varying degrees. But to millions more, the war remains hidden. How do you win a war when most of those being relentlessly assaulted aren’t even aware there is a war? It is mostly a war for your mind, as Alex Jones aptly put it- an information war. But each massive dose of lies and disinformation strikes like a cannonball, and has the power of napalm behind it. It’s hard to reason with people who somehow don’t realize they’re being intellectually raped by mad figurative bombers. Every “Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone” and “19 crazed Arab hijackers” is a drone strike of indoctrination. A forced feeding of Huxley’s Soma.

So the average American citizen is caught between a nightmarish coalition of insane “Woke” corporatism and the entrenched power of the unstoppable federal government. Both private and public industry are allies. Think of FDR and “Uncle Joe” Stalin. Comrades. Utilizing their standing army of militarized police officers, all across the land, they are at war. And the enemy is you. The police aren’t targeting real, violent criminals, any more than ICE is targeting illegal invaders. The IRS isn’t interested in all the One Percenters who paid no income tax at all. They’re after the small business owner who incorrectly followed some nonsensical and largely incomprehensible regulation. This is a war of the powerful vs. the powerless.

Anatomy of the State Rothbard, Murray Best Price: $13.62 Buy New $17.28 (as of 03:26 UTC - Details) We have no weapon with which to fight this war, other than our commanding advantage in numbers. We outnumber the corrupt tyrants by hundreds of millions here, and by billions around the world. And yet we are impotent, forced to follow their pointless rules and laws. The COVID psyop certainly demonstrated that. How many millions of guns are owned by citizens in this country? Where were the proud gun owners, who are so vocal about the second amendment, during the unconstitutional lockdown? Did you see any armed small business owners, gathered together to resist the destruction of their businesses? The second amendment wasn’t created to protect hunting and skeet shooting. I am not advocating that they do this. But it just seems like if your business is being shut down by force, and you own weapons….

But even if all those millions of private arms were brandished openly, in some kind of armed march on Washington, D.C., how could they hope to defeat the most powerful defense establishment in the history of the world? It’s clear that we can’t mimic the successful strategy of eighteenth century Minutemen (and, of course, today they’d have to be referred to as Minute-cisgenders or something). Guerilla warfare doesn’t work against the kind of weapons the Pentagon has. An armed revolution is impossible. We can’t continue to be bullied and abused, but we can’t punch this bully in the face. It bears repeating; we have one great weapon. There are far more of us than them. But we haven’t shown that we can come together in any common cause. Not to resist the COVID “mandates.” Not to defend free speech and civil liberties.

As Orwell wrote in 1984, “If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there in those swarming disregarded masses, 85 per cent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together…” Now, in America 2.0, the proles comprise close to those numbers. But we are distracted, and unable to form effective coalitions. “Football, beer, and gambling filled up the horizon of their minds,” as Orwell described it. Sound familiar? Only we’re even less likely to rebel, given that the women have been liberated, and enjoy social media, shopping, reality shows, and the approval of fellow females to fill “the horizon of their minds.” We can’t even organize a boycott on buying gas for a day.
