Why does the government have to acknowledge it? They acknowledge none of the individuals natural rights that were expressed in the declaration of independence. So who really cares if they do or don't. If the "mob" accepts it is really all that matters in a "revolution". Which, is a bad idea as it leaves a vacuum for the next oligarchy to take control. Next next step really is HOW.

We who are fed up, of course. Eventually that will be most Americans.
So "we" only refers to the angry minority that you hope will grow.
See, I hope things will get better and people will get happier but to each his own I suppose.
Well your title says "proof" and "we" and yet here you are declaring that "we" does not mean both you and me, it just means you and some other people. Well, that is not "we" taking back our country. That is a few spoiled angry little people demanding the rest of us go along with what they want. I believe there are other countries where things are supposed to go that way. This is America. You want a civil war then just say it.
There goes that nuance noticing. Damn. I am not sure where you see such black and white lines but can you quote me once ever saying that "the "tack back our government" crowd is Christian extremist, tea bagger republicans" or can you actually read what I did write?
Let me know how it works out before you go painting me into a corner just because you imagined you painted the rest of the room already. You might have a valid argument if you use the terms I actually used because this twists what I wrote completely.
This is about the last thing I need. A bunch of angry Christian extremists who are more worried about gay marriage than taking care of poor and sick children are not going to take back my America for me...

In the 1970’s, the national debt more than doubled, from $366 billion to $829 billion.
In the 1980’s, the national debt more than tripled, from $829 billion to $2.9 trillion.
In the 1990’s, the national debt almost doubled again, from $2.9 trillion to $5.6 trillion.
In the 2000’s, the national debt is projected to more than double again, from $5.6 trillion to $12.9 trillion (projected national debt at the end of fiscal year 2009).
... if you look at the national debt as a percentage of our nation’s GDP (gross domestic product), the debt is increasing at a staggering rate. In 1969, the national debt was just 38% of GDP, but it was over 90% of GDP by the end of 2009, and is projected to grow to over 100% of GDP by 2011....
History of the National Debt
So yes it is pretty obvious a crisis was planned and very neatly executed by the Cartels.
Now Obama has put GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt, an admitted globalist, in as the Chair of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
I dug up the dirt on him HERE JP Morgan is GE's advisor and both are involved in the MSM.

Like I said, this is about restoring the Constitution. Naturally, this would involve Democratic elections. Not career politicians and bureaucrats that were bred for the role.
Personally, I'd like to see scientists, humanists, great thinkers, an array of religious leaders, veterans, veterans, veterans, the bold, the brave, those of great integrity, those that favor moderation and a hands-off approach to a free people.
I get it. Capitalism is evil and the root of all of mans horror. So where was capitalism in Egypt, where was capitalism in Germany. Really, the problem is a governing body not the means of economic success.

What new congress? The one the teabaggers install? The one the Democrats put in place? Why on Earth would I want to abdicate my roll in electing officials to some "new congress?" You are suggesting we overthrow the government and install a new congress
That's not at all what I'm suggesting. The "new Congress" is the same body that's been in place since the founding of this country, just with new people. You know, NOT career politicians.
That is exactly what I said.
Those "new people" would be put in place by whom?
The people already in place would be removed how?
Why would I let them decide who gets to be president instead of voting myself?edit on 4-8-2011 by Kitilani because: (no reason given)
This has been answered so many times it's giving me a headache...
As I read it the ONLY thing that will change is the people in office and the current ones will be LAID OFF....

I am afraid there are those who think the present system and people running it are just fine and dandy and have only the best interests of the people and environment in mind.
The complete brainwashing of the general populous by government schools and the MSM propaganda machine is mind boggling! I would expect anyone coming to ATS to have an inkling of what is going on behind the curtain.
Unfortunately we are coming up on the next Presidential Election cycle. Therefore we at ATS will get run over by hordes of mind-dead corporate puppets who do not even realize who their REAL masters are; the foundations paying the grants for their Professors salaries.
They can not even follow a simple money trail!

Why do you people want to ``take back`` the government anyway?
What good has it ever done?
This is the problem I have with the small govt revolutionary statist types: You guys have no idea what ``small govt`` is or what kind of govt should be established to ensure that it does not grow ``too big``.
Most of you believe govt without consent of the governed [slavery] is fine, most of you think taking money from people without consent [stealing] is fine too. Once you have it in your head that theft and slavery are acceptable, it's pretty much a downward spiral from there.
It really is sad to think about too...
They would rather wait in line to be sheered because as long as it does not affect them in the "here and now" then they are oblivious to the silent weapon that was laid out so long ago...
China blasts US, urges new global reserve currency
..."China, the largest creditor of the world's sole superpower, has every right now to demand the United States address its structural debt problems and ensure the safety of China's dollar assets," China's official news agency said in a commentary.
"International supervision over the issue of US dollars should be introduced and a new, stable and secured global reserve currency may also be an option to avert a catastrophe caused by any single country," it said.....
...the very incarnation of an international organization of integration in which Member States have agreed to relinquish sovereignty in order to strengthen the coherence and effectiveness of their actions.
...If there is one place on earth where new forms of global governance have been tested since the Second World War, it is in Europe. European integration is the most ambitious supranational governance experience ever undertaken. It is the story of interdependence desired, defined, and organized by the Member States. In no respect is the work complete—neither geographically nor in terms of depth (i.e., the powers conferred by the Member States to the E.U.), nor, obviously, in terms of identity....
Our challenge today is to establish a system of global governance that provides a better balance between leadership, effectiveness, and legitimacy on the one hand, and coherence on the other...
This report analyzes the gap between current international governance institutions, organizations and norms and the demands for global governance likely to be posed by long-term strategic challenges over the next 15 years. The report is the product of research and analysis by the NIC and EUISS following a series of international dialogues co-organized by the Atlantic Council, TPN, and other partner organizations in Beijing, Tokyo, Dubai, New Delhi, Pretoria, Sao Paulo & Brasilia, Moscow, and Paris. ....

Are you saying that anarchism would lead to corporatism or some other type of totalitarian rule?

They'd have to acknowledge it by stepping down from power and not using the military to totally crush any attempts at revolution that arises.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the sentiment of your letter.
My point is... you don't have the HOW figured out, therefore your letter unfortunately amounts to idle complaining. (No different than a street protest that ends up with everyone patting each other on the back and going home.)
First off, corporatism already exists,
Collective factions (hierarchical like corporations or government) exist in Somalia; engage and business, private law, governance and totalitarian rule free of any centralized law or enforcement
Monarchy was proceeded by anarchy, tribes (collectives) engaged in conflict in war until one group won and established singular rule over the rest. Care to guess how many dictators were installed following anarchy?
