Think for yourselves, America

Government is always trying to disarm the people so that when their debt Ponzi finally blows up, the people will not be able to depose corrupt government and install proper leadership.  The debt Ponzi has already blown up in Argentina and the people are in a great hyperinflationary depression.  Brazil now has effectively declared martial law in Rio for similar reasons.  The people are giving up on the notion that big government is anything more than a criminal organization and they are no longer following the rules laid down upon them by their self declared masters.


All of these things and more will come to every nation running a debt Ponzi, no exceptions.  When the Ponzi goes into collapse, the people lose confidence in the con. They stop believing that government has any more authority over the people.  For some people, mainly the liberals in population, that means turning to crime.  They justify their actions using the argument that they are only getting what was already promised to them by big socialist government.   So their response is to begin opportunistically grabbing whatever they can.


When this happens, the conservative patriots among us have to step forward and put a stop to it.  We cannot just sit back and wait for a government response because once government is allowed to do this, everyone is treated like a criminal.  I should only have to point no further than the recent history of school shootings to make my point.


While the active shooter is killing people, the police are either en route to the scene or cowering behind their vehicles waiting for the shooting to stop so they can take control and act like they are in charge.  But once in control a reasonable person would think that they would differentiate between the criminals and the victims. BUT THEY DON'T.  Once the government takes control, everyone is a bad guy and everyone has to go through government screening and controls.  Common sense approach?  FORGET IT.  All the government knows is the heavy handed approach of treating everyone like a criminal.


Look at airplane security.  Those with the money to do so buy their way around the perp treatment by getting tsa pre check status using global entry and other programs which the government administers (and charges a fat fee for).  Everyone else gets to do a perp walk through the millimeter xray machine which I can pretty much tell you will eventually result in glaucoma for frequent travelers.  You think the government cares?  Please.  The government doesn't give a shit about you.


Look at how people are being treated in Rio right now.  Stop and frisk by some asshole in a Darth Vader suit.  You think I want a band of armed thugs pulling me over and frisking me and wasting my time and treating me like I'm a criminal just because they have nothing better to do?  Certainly the soldiers in the picture below could have taken one look at the bus full of women and concluded that it was not a high priority to stop and search.  Yet here these parasites are doing just that.  You think you will be treated any better?  Really?

No, folks, when the crisis finally arrives, expect everyone to be treated like criminals with the cops acting like only police can be trusted.  All you have to do is look at the handling of Sandy Hook and Stoneman Douglas school shootings.  Look at the kids, who have just been traumatized by murderous gunfire, being perp walked like they are some big threat to coward cops.

The only way to avoid being victimized by big governments during crises of their own making is for the conservative patriots to step up and fill the power vacuum.  Step up and protect your neighborhood from gangs and looters and other criminals.  When the cops try to push their way in and demand that they be given a monopoly on security, send them packing to some where else where liberals live.  Don't let them get a foothold in your neighborhood because just like any other pest, once they are established you have to work 10x as hard to get rid of them as if you had just done the right thing up front.

Chinese patriots show bravery

Perhaps you have been watching the political moves of China's President Xi Jinping over the last couple years.  If not then the short story is that he has been assimilating power on the back of a massive debt Ponzi which at some point is clearly going to collapse just like all debt Ponzis have done before him.  In apparent recognition of this fact and of the fact that when it happens there will be a bunch of pissed off Chinese people looking for heads to roll, including his, Xi Jinping is working to install himself as un-elected dictator for life.  He has proposed a "reform" (i.e. ripoff) of the Chinese constitution which will do away with the USA-like two term limit for the office of president.

All he needs is for this rule to be removed and then for a huge crisis to emerge so that nobody wants to change horses in the middle of the stream for him to be a shoo in for another "N" terms in office.  In historical terms the Chinese people typically just bear all of these abuses.  It was not until the 1989 tiananmen square protests that Chinese people began to really stand up for themselves and to push back on the powers that be.  Those protests sent a shot across the bow of the Communist leadership and they had to take a big step back while China's people took a big step forward in relative importance.

But now with this obvious power grab we are seeing brave Chinese individuals break apart from the herd and stand up and speak in a loud voice that is broadcast globally due to the use of social media.  They are saying that lifting term limits would "sow the seeds of chaos." and "If there are no term limits on a country's highest leader, then we are returning to an imperial regime... My generation has lived through Mao. That era is over. How can we possibly go back to it?"

Another brave patriot, Wang Ying, a businesswoman who has advocated government reforms, wrote on WeChat that the Communist Party's proposal was "an outright betrayal" and "against the tides.".  Very importantly she outright accused the government of unlimited potential for corruption and tyranny saying, "I know that you (the government) will dare to do anything... one ordinary person's voice is certainly useless. But I am a Chinese citizen, and I don't plan on leaving. This is my motherland too!".

Of course she is right.  Government will do anything it thinks it can get away with.  I'm telling you that all big governments are evil and self serving.  They ALL define "national security" as whatever is needed for them to stay in power.  Anyone who thinks that governments cannot, will not or do not murder, torture, steal or do whatever despicable acts they think they can get away with in their quest to remain relevant and in power is just a damned fool. 

What will be very interesting this time is how China's government calculates its next move.  Will it see the public fearlessness of a couple patriots as the potential lighting of a fuze that leads to an explosion of public disobedience that even China's powerful police state cannot put down or will it just "disappear" the complainers as an example to anyone else who might not like the new deal?  

If I were the Chinese government I would be VERY careful because Chinese people are not immune to the new conservative global wave that is in progress.  Liberals are easily slapped down into place.  When government screams at them, they cower.  When government wants to disarm them, they don't fight back.  But conservatives do not see government as G_d.  We see big government as more of a parasite that needs to be controlled than anything else.  When conservatives see big government at crossing the line, this is what we do:

 

Unfortunately, the Chinese have allowed themselves to be disarmed and so if they want their rights back they are likely going to have to sacrifice a lot of lives in the taking of them.  Just imagine if tens of millions of good Chinese people had the means to fend off big government abuses.  There would be no need for internal war because big government would be afraid of the people every day instead of the reverse being true.  But absent that, the threat is real that the Chinese constitution can be proven to be a worthless rag simply be the stoke of a pen from whoever happens to be in the seat of power at the time.

For now, all I can say is that when little women have lost their fear of big government and are willing to speak out publicly like this that things are a lot less calm below the surface than the headlines would have us believe.
