If you really knew how the system worked and was set up and that all Citizens are millionaires by birth and the sale of their name to foriegn countries, then you wouldn't be posting crap like this.

Uhhhh yeah
What do you think the open border policy is all about?
... the Constitution NEVER flat out states that revolution or insurrection is illegal.
But it does say that it (The federal corporation) will not pay, "... any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave ..."edit on 24-10-2010 by In nothing we trust because: (no reason given)

I am so tired of talk of revolution. Americans are to fat, lazy and apathtic to participate.
Besides being no leadership in America if there was a revolution,
Americans can't even agree on a single issue to boycott or strike.
Give it up, and stop talking revolution.

Humorous indeed.
Thou commoners shall gripe all that you wish, but in the end, nothing shall any of you do.
Your are of an inferior class to us, a dog with bark, sans any, any bite.
As we see fit, you shall toil; enslaved and obedient you shall remain.
Your generations we shall cut even deeper.
You shall continue to bark and not bite.
Nothing more shall you do.

Our country is on an unsustainable path and it's crumbling beneath us. We'd NEED a real revolution to make any true drastic changes, otherwise things are just going to get worse and worse.

In all likelyhood, the federal government is HELD HOSTAGE by an all-powerfull banking cartel, because people through ignorance and IMPLICIT consent have allowed and/or even encouraged them to continue their USURY unabated for decades. I will venture to say this "elite" scum has a choke-hold on most(if not all) of the worlds' economies, has a world-wide monopoly on drugs, a monopoly on serious weaponry, a monopoly on WHO GETS TO RUN FOR OFFICE, a monopoly on worthwhile(probably of alien origin) technology, a monopoly on precious metals, and god/satan knows what else.

i.e. The fed govs says its illegal to overthrow it?)
( well of course it does...)
if you violently overthrow the fed gov the fed gov won't pay"your" debt...
Its NOT ever gonna happen.
We have entirely too much to loose.. After seeing the hardcore divide play out between right and left in this country; neither able to persuade the other; just plenty of name calling). Who can say which way the head would go once we let go of this fire hose? I'd imagine Only the meanest most violent cartel would rule at the top We don't control our legislators now.
What we want is "accountability". We seem to have stepped away from our 3 co-equal but separate parts of govt. When did that happen? What legislators or Judges failed "by omission" to reign in the power of the executive branch to its intended levels.
Conservatives don't want to rip up the gov. we just want to be left alone. Candidates are are alway "saying send me to D.C. I'l get something done!!!
Gaaaah! Scares me. I would just as soon have our citizen legislators meet once a month; vote on an item or two and go home to their district. Quit taking what we have worked for! Leave us alone!
"You'll know.. everybody has their own lines in the sand; Only When the that point is breached people will feel it's better to engage in violence than suffer under the yoke of an opressive govt.
Even any declaration of "Martial law will certainly come with the caveat of it being: "temporary". Psychologically 95% of people will say:" Oh its only " "temporary"? Okay then, give me my fed ration card and we'll wait it out". (Who decides what 'temporary" means? 6months? A year? A lifetime?).
Stop frothing at the mouth libs: for it to ever come to gun play things would have to be so far out of whack we'd all be fighting along side each other against plainly visible infractions.

i fail, to see how you feel this is different from any remotely similar situation.
example: i find out my boss is sleeping with my wife. the next day i go to work. punch my boss in the face. i break my hand. can i take my boss to court because i broke my hand? no. i took it upon myself to commit that act. i had multiple courses of action.

I'm not an American citizen and certainly not a lawyer, but would the breach of any laws written in the Constitution, concerning revolution, be treated in court today as they would have before the Presidency of G.W.Bush?
