The most fair system possible would be for the government to print whatever money it needs--the natural constraint on spending being inflation. If people saw their earnings buying less, they'd start to question more. As far as I can tell, there is no legitimate reason any government should apply a tax on its citizens when currency is fiat. The only possible purpose is control. It hurts citizens to take a portion of their pay and send it off to the government. It serves as a reminder that we are subservient to the government, when it should be exactly the opposite.

Moreover, the complicated tax codes create an obstacle course keeping people down. Starting a business means hiring someone just to figure out how much you need to pay, which is intimidating and expensive. Resist the government in any fashion? Oops. You made a mistake on your taxes and underpaid. Guess you're going to prison.

The more I think about it, our entire system is designed to keep us ignorant and subjugated.

Hope is not lost. We need to fight Agenda 21 harder than ever, and here's the battleplan: Secession. Yes, it's devastating that it's come to this, but there's no repairing the election process going forward. We've waited things out hoping a miracle would happen, and it hasn't come. This leaves us with only one option:

To preserve our liberty, we must dissolve our country. It doesn't have to be bloody. It doesn't have to mean war. It may come to that, but we will not fire the first shot.

Here's how to make it happen:

1. Action. Melt your legislature's phone lines. Texas has to get the ball rolling. They've started the process by drafting a bill proposing secession. Now we need to get behind it. Call your state officials in the congress and senate. Demand they draft legislation backing Texas' withdrawal from the Union. It's an easy first step for them, because it's fundamentally meaningless. But it sends a strong message to the population that secession is possible. It puts the idea in their minds. There has to be a certain degree of salesmanship at work, here. Federal officials will be probably be useless in this fight, as it means losing their seat of power. No one will willingly give that up, unless they believe they'll get something greater in return.

2. Petition. Once resolutions start passing in support of Texas, or if legislatures refuse to cooperate, the second stage is petitioning. Start gathering signatures on petitions calling for the formation of a new coalition of states. Our goal here needs to be a constitutional convention of states willing to consider separation from the union. This part will be much easier with the official backing of a few state legislatures, which is why we go through step 1 first. These petitions ideally will call for special elections to be held for representatives to be sent to the convention. Word the petition as though it's a done deal, and we're merely asking for people to have a voice in choosing their representative.

3. Convention. The purpose of this first convention is a simple vote to secede or remain in the union, with the addendum that seceding from the union would trigger Federal elections for the new government, and hammering out rules for said election. It's vital that the representatives here be on board, and this is where things get potentially dangerous. If we reach this point, the seal is likely broken and a new nation will be formed. After the convention, the representatives should return to their respective states and report the results of the convention to the governor and state congress.

4. Election. The fourth stage is Federal elections for representatives to be selected for the purpose of drafting a new constitution to bind the states together in alliance. These representatives should be willing to critically examine the founding documents of the United States of America, but not make substantive changes beyond repairing our electoral process, establishing a sane financial system and shoring up our essential liberties.

5. Recognition. This should be happening concurrent with the election process. Ambassadors will be appointed to key nations, seeking to establish diplomatic relations. Russia, Mexico and Brazil are likely candidates for official recognition. I'm certain several more will be identified between now and then. Recognition gives our nation legitimacy. Ambassadors should also work to establish our nation's credit until our financial system is firmly in place.

This is the process we must work through going forward. I believe it will succeed. China wants to become the world power. Let them. They will collapse within a generation. If the United States fractures, they have no reason to try to stop it from happening. They will turn their attention toward the Middle East, instead. A coalition of states with a nuclear arsenal will be sufficient deterrent to avoid direct invasion.

I don't care for power, on the world stage or otherwise. This new nation will not have the influence of the old, but it will have something far more fundamental: liberty.

This is how we preserve our freedom.

We must hang together, or we will surely all hang separately.

Powell is talking about the statistical analysis as being the heart of the case. That's us! And it's enough to convince her and Rudy Giuliani that they can win. Our legwork. Our discoveries. Our dogged brute force searches, and scalpel-sharp inspections.

WE are the tip of the spear! We must hold the line!

We've heard rumors about underground resistance in China. We've seen footage of the protests in Hong Kong. But we've not seen evidence of organized resistance against the CCP until now. God bless the Chinese Patriots willing to draw attention to their movement in order to expose the evil backroom dealings happening between our government and theirs! This is just the first step to restoring the natural order of boundaries and sovereignty. The world is going to experience a seismic shift, and we and GNews both are levers in the fault line.

This is what international cooperation should look like. Not some globalist scum-sucking lukewarm proto-communist tripe, but Patriots recognizing each other's right to exist, their right to compete, and their right to the truth.

God Bless America, and God Bless the Chinese Resistance!

I had to turn my cable modem and router in today. Bought a new one, because I found out the company can use their equipment to snoop on everything I do online. They told me in order to activate my new stuff, I had to turn the old stuff into the store.

From the minute I walked into an empty store, the harpy at the customer service desk started in about my not wearing a mask. She spent ten minutes demanding I leave the store while I tried to explain that all I needed her to do is put in the computer that she received my equipment.

Not only will I not put on the face diaper, I can't. I'm exempt from the idiotic orders due to a medical condition. I informed her as much, and she kept right on badgering and threatening me. Finally, she warned me she was going to call someone. I said, "Good. Get someone out here who can serve me."

She went into the back room, and apparently spoke to her manager, who told her to go ahead and process my equipment. Once she was done, I smiled, and told her to have a nice day. She's probably still complaining about me to her cats.

Just wanted to get it out into the ether. I stood my ground today, and I won.

Only those are fit to live who do not fear to die; and none are fit to die who have shrunk from the joy of life and the duty of life. Both life and death are parts of the same Great Adventure.

Michelle has got just the thing

To make ol' Barack go sing

Went dancing on Ellen

It proved her a fella

When all saw her ding-a-ling!

Apologies for the slide rhyme, for those who care about that sort of thing.

Here's the core problem: America has an epidemic, but it's not a virus. It's laziness.

I've had enough. It's clear as day we've been lied to. No one seems to be willing to stand up and do something, though, so I'm going to raise a proposal. If, by May 1st this year, everything isn't opened back up, I'm going to make a placard and stand on the nearest busy streetcorner, whether it's considered "legal" or not. I will engage any passers by and try to educate them as to what's really happening. Our freedoms are being stripped away, and I won't stand for it without doing something. I'll protest alone if I have to, but I'm hoping you'll join me. It's time to end the charade.
