We Need A Revolution, Not A Movement

The elections of 2008 (and the early elections of 2010) produced two significant phenomena: the “Ron Paul Revolution,” and the “Tea Party Movement.” And, mark it down: both of
them will have profound effects upon the upcoming November elections–and
upon the 2012 elections as well. Call them what you want, however,
America doesn’t need another movement; it needs a genuine revolution.

The Tea Party movement, while still a force with which to be contended, has already been diluted and compromised. The primary elections plainly reveal the reality of this fact. The high spots so far
are the defeats of Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Bob Bennett in
Utah. The low spots so far are the reelection of John McCain in Arizona
and the election of Dan Coats in Indiana.

John McCain’s election, in particular, demonstrates how many conservatives and “revolutionaries” still don’t get it. If any State in the union should have an up-close-and-personal look at what we are up
against, it would be the people of Arizona. After all, they are on the
front lines in the fight of one of the most important battles currently
being waged in our country: illegal immigration. And John McCain is one
of the worst offenders in terms of facilitating and encouraging this
illegal invasion. Yet the people of Arizona reelected McCain to the US
Senate. (It would interesting to know how many illegal aliens voted for
McCain, would it not?)

Then again, John McCain received the enthusiastic endorsement of former Alaska governor, Sarah Palin. This endorsement obviously brought McCain thousands of Tea Party votes that otherwise would have gone to
his principal opponent, J.D. Hayworth. McCain is not the only
Big-Government globalist neocon to receive Palin’s endorsement. Many of
Palin’s endorsees are neocons; which leads to one of the biggest
problems with any so-called conservative movement: allowing
celebrity-type “conservatives” to become the de facto leaders and
spokesmen for what should be a true grassroots, people-generated
rebellion. Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck are the two biggest culprits in
this regard.

Mark my words: Palin and Beck may see themselves as part of a conservative “movement,” but they want nothing to do with an old-fashioned, honest-to-God, Patrick Henry-style revolution. In fact,
they are doing everything in their power to keep such a revolution from
taking place.

This does not mean that Palin and Beck do not contribute some good things to freedom’s fight. They do. The problem is, for every good thing they contribute they counterbalance it by supporting establishment
principals, such as John McCain and Newt Gingrich, and attacking
non-establishment players and ideas, which serves only to keep the
Big-Government power structure firmly ensconced in Washington, D.C.

Get real, folks, and start thinking for yourselves. Ask yourself why Fox News never (or hardly ever) invites non-establishment patriots to appear on their network. Why do you not see former Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Paul Craig Roberts on Fox News? Why do you not see
former Georgia congressman and Presidential candidate Bob Barr on Fox
News? Why do you not see former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura on Fox
News? Why do you not see former Director of the US Office of Economic
Opportunity and Presidential candidate Howard Phillips on Fox News? Why
do you not see Presidential candidate Chuck Baldwin on Fox News? The
list is endless.

Fox News is not “fair and balanced.” It is as controlled and manipulated as any other media news network. The only thing it balances is the other networks’ infatuation with the Democrat Party, by promoting
Republican candidates and ideas. What it does not do is educate and
inform the American people with the truth as to what both major parties
are doing to destroy our country. But remember, Fox News is owned by
Keith Rupert Murdoch, the same man who helped finance Hillary Clinton’s
campaign for the US Senate, and who is as much of a globalist as anyone
in Washington, D.C., or New York City.

As an aside, and speaking of Hillary Rodham, I predict that she will replace Vice President Joe Biden BEFORE the 2012 elections. I’ve said that in private for many weeks, and now say it in this column–remember,
you heard it here. The Clinton-Bush Crime Syndicate (CBCS) needs Hillary
in the White House badly, and Obama has readily accepted a subservient
role in the criminal affairs of CBCS (for very profitable reasons, no
doubt). And with the CBCS bosses pretty much running things at the White
House (they don’t worry about domestic or social issues, providing that
these do not interfere with their international criminal activities),
is it any wonder that Obama has already taken more vacations than most
Presidents take during an entire term?

And it is the influence of globalists and neocons upon national and international politics that the likes of Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck simply do not get–or do not want to get. And because many Tea Partiers
are so enamored with these two (and allow them to do much of their
thinking for them), they remain clueless as well.

Ladies and gentlemen, America is in the throes of socialist and Marxist political upheaval. The curtain could fall at any time. The American people need to wake up to this truism: a “conservative”
movement–even a conservative Tea Party movement–will not save us. The
only thing that will save us is an old-fashioned State revolt.

Arizona had the opportunity to become a modern-day version of 1775 Massachusetts. But Arizona has probably forfeited that leadership role by 1) reelecting John McCain, and 2) being willing to allow federal
courts to dictate law to a sovereign State. Instead of taking its case
to the federal courts, Arizona should simply tell the federal government
that it will enforce its own State laws (including the newly enacted
anti-illegal immigration law) regardless of what any federal court says
or doesn’t say. At some point, that is exactly what some State (or group
of states) in this union is going to have to do, or liberty will be
forever lost.

As long as freedom lovers are content to remain satisfied with the status quo by allowing party politics and media celebrities to dominate their efforts, there will be no stopping this socialist avalanche that
is crashing down upon us. The Tea Party movement of 2010 (if left free
of Big-Government neocons) could certainly translate into positive
developments this November; that is for sure. A revival of the “Ron Paul
Revolution” in 2012 could also make a significant contribution, but it
is going to take a State revolution to seal the deal. I, for one, am
ready.
