2. We have personal home 3D printers to the molecular level;
3. We have "free energy" technology.

how is the majority going to speak out and why, if they don't see the looming dread that you see? How many americans voted in the last election for either Obama or Romney? Something like one hundred million or something? That's one third of the population that actually gives a rats ass enough about the direction of the country, be it real direction or an illusory one, to get off their ass to check off a box in a booth. One third of the country who doesn't really care if Obama is a puppet for Israel or if Romney is a crony capitalist who couldn't give a crap about the poor and unfortunate. So I doubt the remaining two thirds of the population were holed up in their basement counting their bullets or even caring about the doomed world to begin with. They were probably stuffing their face with cheezwhiz

that the American people must always be ready to take arms against their government once they assert their will over the people. I declare that time is now. I declare it is time that we rise against...
my true desire is not the actual call to arms,

And you saw any real change from Bush to Obama? "Change we could believe in?" And now its just, "Forward". Voting is a placebo. A distraction like sports and organized religion. The other opiate of the masses. But you are right about the thirds part.
In any given selection process about a third will opt for, a third against and a third will... stuff their face with cheez wiz. They know this and it is their cornerstone to power. You just go right ahead and keep putting your stamp of approval on the whole process and keep on voting.
Pass the cheez wiz?

How the holy heck would this load of self important crud be so important, just woken up? Not realised the world does not stop at your borders yet? You have a bloody low opinion of others reading and thinking

let's get past the history recap and figure out how to do it realistically
I did get past the history recap about halfway through the entirety of the post, I know it took more than a couple blocks, but I outlined what I thought the solution would be, hope you get a chance to read through it.
