You, The People

August 27, 2022
For once in their miserable lives the leaders of most supposedly free countries have pointed out the obvious, and that is the leaders of various nations they criticize are responsible for the failings of the nations they lead.  This collective gaggle of clowns gleefully accuse Xi and Putin as a current example of enemies of the people. A debate about the behavior of Xi and Putin is not the issue, simply the fact that leaders of the free world acknowledge that the leadership of a nation is largely responsible for the nation's behavior and success or failure.  Make note however that the accusers never reflect on the fact that they are leaders to blame for our own nations failings.  High prices and inflation, immigrant invasions are are always someone else's fault. High gas prices are on Putin, not the morons in power in Europe and America, for example.

The only people on earth that created an organized system to deal with corrupt and/or inept leaders, other than simple civil war and revolutions with pitchforks and clubs, were the colonists.  In a nutshell, they said all citizens must be armed and you either drive the corrupt leaders out or when all else fails you kill the bastards.
 
"What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure." - Thomas Jefferson

Clear enough.

"all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, (as in electing their functionaries* executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves, both fact and law, in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved) or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed; that they are entitled to freedom of person; freedom of religion; freedom of property; and freedom of the press." - Extract from Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright. Monticello in Virginia. June 5. 24.

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the Courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who would pervert the Constitution” - Abraham Lincoln, February 27, 1860 Cooper Union, NY Speech

"Governors have no right to seek what they please; by this, instead of being content with the station assigned them, that of honorable servants of the society, they would soon become Absolute masters, Despots, and Tyrants." - Samuel Adams, Resolutions of Town of Boston, 1772 ("The Rights of the Colonists . . .")

"It seems to have been imagined by some that the returning to the mass of the people was degrading the magistrate. This he thought was contrary to republican principles. In free Governments the rulers are the servants, and the people their superiors & sovereigns. For the former therefore to return among the latter was not to degrade but to promote them--and it would be imposing an unreasonable burden on them, to keep them always in a State of servitude, and not allow them to become again one of the Masters." - Benjamin Franklin (Remarks in Framing Convention, 1787 as summarized by Madison in his record, page 6)

A group that would appear to have escaped scrutiny are corporate leaders. China was able to take over manufacturing dominance because its people were hungry, worked cheap, were smart, and China understood how to use capitalist ideas for its own benefit. China also knew businessmen all over the world will snivel and grovel for a buck. And just as they thought, business leaders flocked to China and other countries that offered cheap labor and the infrastructure to provide the products they wanted built.  No one EVER forced them to go. Greed and the worship of money were the siren call to these capitalist whores. An example of this behavior is demonstrated by the the Sackler family of Purdue Pharma. The Sacklers sparked the opioid crisis through a deliberate scheme which killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and their children.  None of these people care about you or your children, they will murder you for a buck at the drop of the hat. To preserve the status quo of this perverse and destructive system, a complex system of laws is erected to preserve the failed system.

Now the liars both Republican and Democrat are blaming China for the actions of American businessmen. You are simply the victim.  Nothing in the colonists' plan for ridding the nation of corrupt bastards in power exempted corporations, bankers and their leaders and investors from direct retaliation by the people.  In addition, nothing in the documents the colonists created separated rights by the color of your skin.  Instead of talking through your ass or listening to the clowns that would convince you otherwise, read the documents.  A bullet from a black person's gun is just as desirable as from a white man's gun when it comes time to defend your life and that of your family. 

Which raises another issue.  If you were in a fight for your life and that of your children, and the people that you were fighting along side and depended on their support, and they ran out and left you alone to fend for yourself, and worse yet, stole your food and water on the way out, what would you do?  These deserters or traitors were shot in previous conflicts, as they should be. 

You are responsible for protecting the country your forefathers created for you.  The illegal immigrants are similarly bound to protect  their homeland by whatever means necessary and are not.  They flee like cowards, and are being imported into your nation where they will steal your jobs, your benefits your pensions and the future of your children.  They are completely worthless human beings sucking the life out of America, the countries they abandon, and those they flee to.  They deserve nothing except an exit pass to go home and as we now know, use an informal version of the plan your forefathers created for you, which is to drive out or if need be kill off the leaders and businessmen in their own nations that fucked up their own country they are deserting. In all cases however, their assets and ill gotten gain are kept for the nation.

Forget the whining and sniveling about the fact that they are human beings.  Fucking, sleeping and doing nothing to improve the world are what animals do.  People have greater responsibilities, and by our own leaders' admissions for everyone but them, those in service to the people are responsible for screwing things up.  And forget the complexity arguments.  They are simply meant to confuse.  If you are not better off now than you were before, and your children's future is not bright, things are not working. 

“No government has the right to decide on the truth of scientific principles, nor to prescribe in any way the character of the questions investigated. Neither may a government determine the aesthetic value of artistic creations, nor limit the forms of literacy or artistic expression. Nor should it pronounce on the validity of economic, historic, religious, or philosophical doctrines. Instead it has a duty to its citizens to maintain the freedom, to let those citizens contribute to the further adventure and the development of the human race. -  Richard P. Feynman

Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard P. Feynman

Have no respect whatsoever for authority; forget who said it and instead look what he starts with, where he ends up, and ask yourself, "Is it reasonable?" - Richard P. Feynman

And don't let anyone convince you that is America's job.  If the people themselves do not own the task, America's military industrial complex has shown repeatedly it cannot supplant the will of the people.  It did not in Vietnam and it just failed to do so in Afghanistan.  The only thing these liars do is steal your money, enrich corrupt creeps like Dick Cheney and the Bush family, and pay off your corrupt politicians.

Jefferson's words are more appropriate now than ever.
