Examining the Bill of Rights, and considering EXISTING laws only, and not failed attempts, you will find that every clause has been violated to one degree or another.
Documenting those violations would fill volumes; and it is important to remember that only government can violate the exercise of unalienable individual rights and claim immunity from retribution.
We omit martial law or public suspension of the Constitution as a tripwire.
The overnight installation of dictatorship obviously would qualify as “the tripwire,” but is not likely to occur.
What has occurred, what is occurring, is the implementation of every aspect of such dictatorship without an overt declaration.
The Constitution is being killed by attrition. The Communist Manifesto is being installed by accretion.
Any suggestion that martial law is the tripwire leads us to the question: what aspect of martial law justifies the first shot?

If everything that has happened in the past 5 years happened all at once the wire would have tripped already. We are the frogs in the pot and the heat is slowly rising.
ReplyDeleteEvery time we start to squirm they ease off for a bit until we get used to the new heat.
Then they turn the fire up again.
Perfectly described.
DeleteThe I M F is now proposing a 71% tax rate in industrialized nations , with the good old U.S. of Obamastan at the top of the list . This would be the last straw if they could get it .W. Russell
ReplyDeleteI saw that . Just preposterous.
DeleteGun or retirement account confiscation. I doubt enough Americans care about anything else enough to take a risk.
ReplyDeleteProbably.
DeleteBrock if the US Army of 1960 faced the US Army of 2013 . The US Army of 2013 wouldn't have a chance in a single battle. The sad fact is that our military has been so downsized, overused and underfunded that it no longer has the size, firepower, or logistics ,that a single army group possessed in 1944. The military is mostly bluff , and LE state and Federal are bullies who will run-hide, and scream for "backup" at the first hint of large scale resistance.(why did y'all think the DHS was created?) Revolution like any other profound changes, mostly starts from the smallest and least likely of things. When it starts (if it hasn't already) we may not even notice at first. But when "average Joe" starts lynching "professors Democrats and Commies" you can pretty much guess its on. "The Left" believes that the Peasants will turn to the commies for salvation when "the right wingnuts" rebel and that shortly after that the "glorious peoples army" will crush us. I think we are in for a very hectic 2014 once Obama cancels the midterm elections.--Ray
