A Message To The ‘Left’ From A ‘Right Wing Extremist’

Do you LOVE America?

    Some discoveries are exciting, joyful, and exhilarating, while others can be quite painful.  Stumbling upon the fact that you do not necessarily have a competent grasp of reality, that you have in fact been duped for most of your life, is not a pleasant experience.  While it may be a living nightmare to realize that part of one’s life was, perhaps, wasted on the false ideas of others, enlightenment often requires that the worldview that we were indoctrinated with be completely destroyed before we can finally resurrect a tangible identity and belief system.  To have rebirth, something must first die…

    In 2004, I found myself at such a crossroads.  At that time I was a dedicated Democrat, and I thought I had it all figured out.  The Republican Party was to me a perfect sort of monster.  They had everything!  Corporate puppet masters.  Warmongering zealots.  Fake Christians.  Orwellian social policies.  The Bush years were a special kind of horror.  It was cinematic.  Shakespearean.  If I was to tell a story of absolute villainy, I would merely describe the mass insanity and bloodlust days of doom and dread wrought by the Neo-Con ilk in the early years of the new millennium.

    But, of course, I was partly naïve…

    The campaign rhetoric of John Kerry was eye opening.  I waited, day after day, month after month for my party’s candidate to take a hard stance on the illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  I waited for a battle cry against the Patriot Act and the unconstitutional intrusions of the Executive Branch into the lives of innocent citizens.  I waited for a clear vision, a spark of wisdom and common sense.  I waited for the whole of the election for that man to finally embrace the feelings of his supporters and say, with absolute resolve, that the broken nation we now lived in would be returned to its original foundations.  That civil liberty, freedom, and peace, would be our standard once again.  Unfortunately, the words never came, and I realized, he had no opposition to the Bush plan.  He was not going to fight against the wars, the revolving door, or the trampling of our freedoms.  Indeed, it seemed as though he had no intention of winning at all.

    I came to see a dark side to the Democratic Party that had always been there but which I had refused to acknowledge.  Their leadership was no different than the Neo-Cons that I despised.  On top of this, many supporters of the Democratic establishment had no values, and no principles.  Their only desire was to “win” at any cost.  They would get their “perfect society” at any cost, even if they had to chain us all together to do it.

    There was no doubt in my mind that if the Democrats reoccupied the White House or any other political power structure one day, they would immediately adopt the same exact policies and attitudes of the Neo-Conservatives, and become just as power-mad if not more so.  In 2008 my theory was proven unequivocally correct.

    It really is amazing.  I have seen the so-called “anti-war” party become the most accommodating cheerleader of laser guided death and domination in the Middle East, with predator drones operating in the sovereign skies of multiple countries raining missiles upon far more civilians than “enemy combatants”, all at the behest of Barack Obama.  I have seen the “party of civil liberties” expand on every Constitution crushing policy of the Bush Administration, while levying some of the most draconian legislation ever witnessed in the history of this country.  I have seen Obama endorse enemy combatant status for American citizens, and the end of due process under the law through the NDAA.  I have seen him endorse the end of trial by jury.  I have seen him endorse secret assassination lists, and the federally drafted murder of U.S. civilians.  I have seen him endorse executive orders which open the path to the declaration of a “national emergency” at any time for any reason allowing for the dissolution of most constitutional rights and the unleashing of martial law.

    If I was still a Democrat today I would be sickly ashamed.  Yet, many average Democrats actually defend this behavior from their party.  The same behavior they once railed against under Bush.

    However, I have not come here to admonish Democrats (at least not most of them).  I used to be just like them.  I used to believe in the game.  I believed that the rules mattered, and that it was possible to change things by those rules with patience and effort.  I believed in non-violent resistance, protest, civil dissent, educational activism, etc.  I thought that the courts were an avenue for political justice.  I believed that the only element required to end corruption would be a sound argument and solid logic backed by an emotional appeal to reason.  I believed in the power of elections, and had faith in the idea that all we needed was the “right candidate” to lead us to the promise land.  Again, I believed in the game.

    The problem is, the way the world works and the way we WISH the world worked are not always congruent.  Attempting to renovate a criminal system while acting within the rigged confines of that system is futile, not to mention delusional.  Corrupt oligarchies adhere to the standards of civility only as long as they feel the need to maintain the illusion of the moral high ground.  Once they have enough control, the mask always comes off, the rotten core is revealed, and immediate violence against dissent commences.

    Sometimes the only solutions left in the face of tyranny are not peaceful.  Logic, reason, and justice are not revered in a legal system which serves the will of the power elite instead of the common man.  The most beautiful of arguments are but meaningless flitters of hot air in the ears of sociopaths.  Sometimes, the bully just needs to be punched in the teeth.

    This philosophy of independent action is consistently demonized, regardless of how practical it really is when faced with the facts.  The usual responses to the concept of full defiance are accusations of extremism and malicious intent.  Believe me, when I embarked on the path towards the truth in 2004, I never thought I would one day be called a potential “homegrown terrorist”, but that is essentially where we are in America in 2013.  To step outside the mainstream and question the validity of the game is akin to terrorism in the eyes of the state and the sad cowardly people who feed the machine.

    During the rise of any despotic governmental structure, there is always a section of the population that is given special treatment, and made to feel as though they are “on the winning team”.  For now, it would appear that the “Left” side of the political spectrum has been chosen by the establishment as the favored sons and daughters of the restructured centralized U.S.  However, before those of you on the Left get too comfortable in your new position as the hand of globalization, I would like to appeal to you for a moment of unbiased consideration.  I know from personal experience that there are Democrats out there who are actually far more like we constitutionalists and “right wing extremists” than they may realize.  I ask that you take the following points into account, regardless of what the system decides to label us…

    We Are Being Divided By False Party Paradigms 

    Many Democrats and Republicans are not stupid, and want above all else to see the tenets of freedom respected and protected.  Unfortunately, they also tend to believe that only their particular political party is the true defender of liberty.  The bottom line is, at the top of each party there is very little if any discernible difference between the two.   If you ignore all the rhetoric and only look at action, the Republican and Democratic leadership are essentially the same animal working for the same special interests.  There is no left and right; only those who wish to be free, and those who wish to control.

    Last year, the “Left and the “Right” experienced an incredible moment of unity after the introduction of the NDAA.  People on both sides were able to see the terrifying implications of a law that allows the government to treat any American civilian as an enemy of war without right to trial.  In 2013, the establishment is attempting to divide us once again with the issue of gun disarmament.  I have already presented my position on gun rights in numerous other articles and I believe my stance is unshakeable.  But, what I will ask anti-gun proponents and on-the-fence Democrats is this:  How do you think legislation like the NDAA will be enforced in the future?  Is it not far easier to threaten Americans with rendition, torture, and assassination when they are completely unarmed?  If you oppose the NDAA, you should also oppose any measure which gives teeth to the NDAA, including the debasement of the 2nd Amendment.

    Democrats Are Looking For Help In The Wrong Place

    Strangely, Democrats very often search for redress within the very system they know is criminal.  For some reason, they think that if they bash their heads into the wall long enough, a door will suddenly appear.  I’m here to tell you, there is no door.

    The biggest difference between progressives and conservatives is that progressives consistently look to government to solve all the troubles of the world, when government is usually the CAUSE of all the troubles in the world.  The most common Democratic argument is that in America the government “is what we make it”, and we can change it anytime we like through the election process.  Maybe this was true at one time, but not anymore.  Just look at Barack Obama!  I would ask all those on the Left to take an honest look at the policies of Obama compared to the policies of most Neo-Cons, especially when it comes to constitutional liberties.  Where is the end to Middle Eastern war?  Where is the end to domestic spy programs?  Where is the end to incessant and dictatorial executive orders?  Where is the conflict between the Neo-Cons and the Neo-Liberals?  And, before you point at the gun control debate, I suggest you look at Obama’s gun policies compared to Mitt Romney’s and John McCain’s – there is almost no difference whatsoever…

    If the two party system becomes a one party system, then elections are meaningless, and electing a new set of corrupt politicians will not help us.

    Democrats Value Social Units When They Should Value Individuals Instead

    Democrats tend to see everything in terms of groups.  Victim status groups, religious groups, racial groups, special interest groups, etc.  They want to focus on the health of the whole world as if it is a single entity.  It is not.  Without individuals, there is no such thing as “groups”, and what we might categorize as groups change and disperse without notice.  Groups do not exist beyond shared values, and even then, the individual is still more important in the grand scheme of things.

    As a former Democrat, I know that the obsession with group status makes it easy to fall into the trap of collectivism.  It is easy to think that what is best for you must be best for everybody.  This Utopian idealism is incredibly fallible.  Wanting the best for everyone is a noble sentiment, but using government as a weapon to force your particular vision of the “greater good” on others leads to nothing but disaster.  The only safe and reasonable course is to allow individuals to choose for themselves how they will function in society IF they choose to participate at all.  Government must be left out of the equation as much as possible.  Its primary job should be to safeguard the individual’s right to choose how he will live.  You have to get over the fact that there is no such thing as a perfect social order, and even if there was, no government is capable of making it happen for you.

    Democrats Can Become As Power-Mad As Any Neo-Con

    I think it is important to point out how quickly most Democratic values went out the door as soon as Barack Obama was placed in the White House.  Let’s be clear; you cannot claim to be anti-war, anti-torture, anti-assassination, anti-surveillance, anti-corporate, anti-bank, anti-rendition, etc. while defending the policies of Obama at the same time.  This is hypocrisy.

    I have heard some insane arguments from left leaning proponents lately.  Some admit that Obama does indeed murder and torture, but “at least he is pushing for universal health care…”.  Even if it did work (which it won’t), is Obamacare really worth having a president who is willing to murder children on the other side of the world and black-bag citizens here at home?  Do not forget your moral compass just because you think the system is now your personal playground.  If you do, you are no better than all the angry bloodcrazed Republicans that bumbled into the Iraq War while blindly following George W. Bush.

    There Is A Difference Between Traditional Conservatives And Neo-Cons

    Neo-Cons are not conservative.  They are in fact socialist in their methods, and they always expand government spending and power while reducing constitutional protections.  The “Liberty Movement”, of which I am proudly a part, is traditional conservative.  We believe that government, especially as corrupt as it is today, cannot be trusted to administrate and nursemaid over every individual in our nation.  It has proven time after time that it caters only to criminally inclined circles of elites.  Therefore, we seek to reduce the size and influence of government so that we can minimize the damage that it is doing.  For this, we are called “extremists”.

    Governments are not omnipotent.  They are not above criticism, or even punishment.  They are merely a collection of individuals who act either with honor or dishonor.  In the Liberty Movement, we treat a corrupt government just as we would treat a corrupt individual.  We do not worship the image of the state, nor should any Democrat.

    Liberty Minded Conservatives Are Not “Terrorists” 

    There will come a time, very soon I believe, when people like me are officially labeled “terrorists”.  Perhaps because we refuse gun registration or confiscation.  Perhaps because we develop alternative trade markets outside the system.  Maybe because some of us are targeted by federal raids, and we fight back instead of submitting.  Maybe because we speak out against the establishment during a time of “declared crisis”, and speech critical of the government is labeled “harmful to the public good”.  One way or another, whether you want to believe me now or not, the day is coming.

    Before this occurs, and the mainstream media attacks us viciously as “conspiracy theorists” and traitors, I want the Left to understand that no matter what you may hear about us, our only purpose is to ensure that our natural rights are not violated, our country is not decimated, and our republic is governed with full transparency.  We are not the dumb redneck racist hillbilly gun nuts you see in every primetime TV show, and anyone who acts out of personal bias and disdain for their fellow man is not someone we seek to associate with.  We fight because we have no other choice.  Our conscience demands that we oppose centralized tyranny.  We do what we do because the only other option is subservience and slavery.

    Many of the people I have dealt with in the Liberty Movement are the most intelligent, well-informed, principled and dedicated men and women I have ever met.  They want, basically, what most of us want; to be free to determine their own destinies.  To be free to speak their minds without threat of state retribution.  To be free to defend themselves from any enemy that would seek to oppress them.  To live within an economic environment that is not rigged in favor of elitist minorities and on the verge of engineered collapse.  To live in a system that respects justice and legitimate law instead of using the law as a sword against the public.  To wake up each day with solace in the knowledge that while life in many regards will always be a difficult thing, we still have the means to make it better for ourselves and for the next generation.  To wake up knowing that those inner elements of the human heart which make us most unique and most endearing are no longer considered “aberrant”, and are no longer under threat.

      1. nicely written…wow….am I first? just kidding :>)

        • Anyone thinking that the government in this country is working on our behalf and is not involved false flag ops, such as Aurora and Newtown, to promote its own agenda regarding gun control and has any real concern at all “for the children” should read “enemies Foreign and Domestic”. This book was written ten years ago, but seems to have been prophetic in its depiction of the political climate of today.

          • @Navy Vet, agreed. imo, all that is needed to get these events to happen, is have the FDA pass the psychotropic drugs, and get them on the street. Then just sit back and wait patiently for someone to lose it, and you can come in with a ready made plan to solve the problem.

            • Your comment makes to much common sense to ignore. Create the problem,sit back and wait for the reaction and then in their infinite wisdom provide us with the solution. The Boogie man is coming, the boogie man is coming, go back to sleep, go back to sleep.

        • Well stated and sadly true. The factor that makes this most plausible it the general education of the American public – weather it he from a basic ‘common sense’ perspective or general historical education basis. Because as we know – those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it!

          How woefully true and the first ‘47%’ of this population is in the front of that bus as we all head over that cliff.

          Dear Jesus help us all!

        • BPD: Traditions, like the US Constitution must be followed: thumbs down for you!!!

          Have a great day! 🙂

      2. Bravo!

      3. “The state must declare the child to be the most precious
        treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”

        MEIN KEMPT ADOLF HITLER

        • The sad part is they keep showing the culprit without morning the children. Most people in the U.S. know the name Adam Lanza, hardly anyone knows any of the kid’s names.

      4. This is truly one of the most Wonderfully written articles I have read. Spread this article to EVERYONE!! Great Job Brandon and Thankn you for so eloquently stating what many of us are feeling. Stay Safe all.

      5. Heres a message to the left. When you want guns banned and your out of work with no job and the collapse comes, don’t come to my front door and beg on your knees for help(something liberals are good at doing) I think King Obama is taking away our rights and labeling us as criminals for having 30 round magazine will be in a world of hurt with his career if he pushes this.

        Obama won’t back down and either will the American people. The speed and the rate of which he is trying to change things is more than alarming and I heard germany is taking its gold out of our country. I don’t blame them.

        The thing that really pisses me off is that if you have 10 rounds and defend yourself at home and shoot/kill someone trying to rape or rob you, your a criminal at this point and they will take all your guns/ammo! Liberal readers that is why we are pissed beyond pissed. Its the common sense that’s gone by your corrupt party pushing this.

        For you Obama lovers out there, he lets millions of illegals stay without being deported breaks thelaw and runs illegal guns into mexico and people get killed, and now on wednesday he is going to ban high capacity mags probably and most ar-15’s from honest hard working loyal americans. Who is the hypocrite. Nice leadership we have.

        This is why we are raged beyond raged with this fake total piece of shit president who has no right and no morals but only his agenda. Then we have the biased news that stand behing paid actors and victims familes to try and push what they want. Screw them! We are the loyal and hard working people of this country that follows the laws! We don’t pass laws and get perks and bonuses under the table for giving a corrupt offical like Obama when he gave the bust solar company millions of dollars and exchange he gets a few million in an account in another country later for him to get. You know this is their main focus to be in politics.

        I’m not looking for any likes or thumbs up or dislikes here. Piers Morgan, which is a total worthless idiot and the frauds and progressive democrats are the lowest scum and POS Obama included, for their anti-gun agenda and BS examples going on biased news shows and TV shows with scripted actors and victim’s families to try and ban ar-15’s saying we should not own one. Gun advocates will try and reason explaining that pistols and gang bangers and unstable people are the main cause, but they don’t want to hear anything!

        Just himself and to the misinformed people to persuade the public that they are killing people and are too dangerous for anyone to own. Now we will hear the King speak tomorrow about how great Obama is and how he is trying to save the peasants and children from just ar-15’s and high capacity magazines but no other guns.

        So in NY you got the “Master Andrew Cuomo” who just passed amounts of bullets you have in your gun. God forbid you have 10 bullets when they changed it to 7. So when you get robbed at home or a rapist comes in and you fire 10 shots you will be charged with a crime. Then all your guns and everything related will go to the King Obama and you get arrested. Where is the common sense! This government is getting dangerous and I hope you all open your eyes and understand this administration are the crooks and criminals. If you don’t like my views please delete me from your friends list. We don’t have the same morals or beliefs.

        • I hope all of you never ever think to register your guns for a corrupt and lying admin who don’t give a damn about the people and use children to try and persuade the confused public and biased media who try and win support with lies and smears to disarm is.

          They know we are sitting ducks and can’t defend ourselves strongly with a shotgun or a revolver against ar-15(m-16’s) with swat or National guard. I hope all you police and military think about not following that order to ever take away someone’s 2nd admendment for a corrupt liberal president who lies and lies and shows no leadership at all.
          If you Liberal lovers think Obama is the best thing to happen to this country, you better think about supporting someone else who cares about where we are heading. Don’t blame whites or any party but yours! This is all on you this time and a true leader takes responsibility which this total POS does not.

          Obama is a fraud plain and simple. I would of never thought in my lifetime or ever we would see a large soda banned. What are you prepared to do or do about this gun ban! I’m not saying to do anything with violence but you can’t let their admin take your rights away. You need to let your neighbors know and your community what this President and Liberals are doing to this country which is illegal. Better get what you can for ammo. After this Speech by king Obama, Ammo is going to be hard to get and catch-up will be hard. Women get what you can and don’t wait. everything in life gets more expensive and more dangerous. Be safe preps.

          • Oh there are a couple I’d register so the state can have their way with them, but the vast majority I took to the shows and sold before they closed the loopholes. Here is the receipts, complete with fake ID’s from the buyer, good luck Mr. ATF loserhuman.

          • guns? what guns? I have no idea what you are talking about…I have no guns to register. /sarc

        • Right on, brother!

        • Just so you know, in NY, you have the duty to retreat. So if you shoot someone in your home, you will be charged regardless of how many rounds you have in your magazine. Just another reason I left the Police State of NY.

          • My God! Really? A DUTY to retreat? What the hell is that?

            • Yes! The duty to retreat. In other words, regardless of the situation you must try to get away before you take action. I used to tell the state police that I am a smoker, so I won’t be able to run far!!! They just smiled when they heard that. Even if sommeone broke into your home, as long as he is not threatening your life, you cannot do anything to him. Stupid isn’t it?

          • praise the lord for Jeb for passing our stand your ground law before he left

          • I believe Mass is the same way as NY on retreat vs. return fire.

        • You don’t have to read very far to see the whole point in the numeric ban on rounds—the whole idea I to be able to. Confiscate guns an label honest citizens as criminals, therefore taking their 2nd Am rights “legally”. It’s not about the number of rounds in a clip, or children, it is about creating a new class of criminals.

          • The whole plan is to disarm the people,confiscate their property,force them into certain areas,thin them out,and ultimatly return us to the days of the lords and serfs,us being the serfs and them lording it over us…dont think so? then youre not “thinking”…look to history…look to other countries right now…look at Agenda 21 and the current farm policies…look at all the corrupt govt ABC agentcies not authorized by the real law of the land….just look!…liberty is the enemy of tyranny and right now the tyrants are making their move…we must be ready and resolved…cant blink,cant compromise,cant quit…its been a long time coming,but now its here…lets have one heart,one mind and one mission…to restore this republic to where she should have been by now,had liberty not had to endure all the crap since lincolns war…dont say it cant be done,do your part,use your particular gifts and talents as a sovreign individual to help heal the land…starting right there where you arein any way you can…lets not chase after somthing new,lets look to return to our roots…our heritage…were about to go through fire, fire can both destroy or purify…ruin or refine, some of us will perish, some will endure to the other side of this mess and we must not forget that freedom /liberty and the individuals rights are Gods greatest gifts to mankind…so that we can start fresh and leave our children free-er than we were! “Live free or die tryin”

            • @REB….

              You hit the nail square on the head.

      6. Two sides of the same coin. When was the last time we had a presidential candidate that had a clear mandate supported by the majority of American citizens?

        • That would be Ronald Reagan, but today’s left will never tell the truth about him.

          • Ron Reagan????? Ron Reagan who provided amnesty for illegal aliens (Mexicans here illegally), who had the bail-out of the Savings and Loan on his watch, who had the Iran/Contra scandal on his watch, who had the largest increase in government spending in the history of the world up to that point!! That Ron Reagan?? Come on, Man!! Do you not realize, at this point, that none of them are here for YOU?? They are here for themselves, to do the bidding of those who finance them. Can you really not see that by NOW??!!??

            • @not so much. There isn’t a dam one of them my friend that gives a dam about you. In there eyes we are human resources only to be exploited.

        • I wonder who the winner would be if all ballots had a third choice labeled “Neither”. Since this choice isn’t on the ballot, eligible voters in the most recent election chose neither by a 2-1 margin over each of the official choices. Only what, 47% of eligible voters (which I define as adults citizens) voted for either Romney or Obama. That this is never acknowledged in the press is telling. In my estimation, “Neither” took 53% of the vote, a clear mandate of the people.

      7. Hear hear!!

      8. There is no way to vote our way out of this. The debate is over. We weren’t invited. That was by design. They are engaged in early stage genocide preps against us. They are trying to demonize us, then they will try to disarm us. Then…. What will you do to stop it?

        • you are right and there is no debate, no NRA no GOP nobody but us to do what we must to follow the laws in the constitution to keep our freedoms and guns against this unlawful admin. I will never ever give up or hide my guns. We are in the midwest near Chicago and will never lay down my guns or a standard 30 round mag. Never!!

          • Clint…if you are in Illinois, we need to meet somehow. I live in the Peoples Republic of Illinois too. Maybe Mac can help us. All LAW-ABIDING GUN OWNERS NEED TO UNITE RIGHT NOW!!!

            • RISE PEOPLE TODAY NOT LATER,go get this bastard and they will come,remember the movie field of dreams.RISE UP AND THEY WILL COME……………………………….

              • Obama schum wants to get a war started,COME OBAMA PIECE OF SHIT AND TRY US law abiding citizens……….

            • I will get a hold of you here in a bit blackriflewarrior. I agree.

              • Clint
                I’m in Indiana. If you are on east side of Illinois contact me also if you’d like
                Dr e

            • There are many of us here in Illinois.

        • Maudy: Bleak but 100% correct. When big governtment Statist Republicans are called “right wing nut jobs” and “extreme right wing conservatives” because they hint that maybe we should reduce deficit spending by a few percentage points, and when the MSM buys into this lie and promotes it, you know it is too late. The mal-informed American believes that he is spoon fed by the Statist Left MSM, and so they believe that anyone who supports a Constitutional Republic designed to promote liberty, private property, and free enterprise through limited, balanced government is an extremist, right wing nut job. So, Obama is painted as the moderate, reasonable, common sense leader standing against irrational, emotional, violent extremism. They–Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Clinton, and on and on–have figured it out: OWN the message and you WIELD the power. They seized, over the last 50 years, media, academia, arts, education, and culture, and it is these things out of which the message flows.

          So, Maudy, you are correct. We ARE demonized, and there is no return. Disarming the demonized traditionalists, the Anti-Statists, is the key step to winning PERMANENTLY. It is coming. And their handling of this has been masterful. Again, paint themselves as reasonable, common sense leaders, and anyone who uses dark phrases such as, “Constitutional right,” “Right to bear arms,” “Second Amendment,” “Liberty”. . . . is an extremist. See, they sit on the furthest possible fringe of the issue, cry that anyone who disagrees is an extremist, and the MSM and academia not only support the Big Lie, they promote it.

          This cause is lost. The cause now must be a New Republic under a New Constitution that is styled MUCH more like the Articles of Confederation.

        • 2nd that and i flew from Texas to Ohio to turn out the vote for Romney.

          The democrat leadership is out to take this country down or change it into something different, but the gop is the enabler.

          when all those tea partiers were knuckled under by congressional leadership after 2010 and now the news is that the gop is out to keep tea party candidates from winning primaries; you know its over.

          we’ll have to wait for economic collapse to see if there’s still enough people left that want the US to roll the tide back of liberalism; but its not coming before that.

          i recommend partagas cigars, newcastle beer and economic books by hazlitt and rothbard as the best way to pass the time until the collapse hits.

          • I like the idea of Partagas cigars and Newcastle beer!!

      9. They are all puppets of the central banks and their owners. The chain gang? “Workin hard Boss…Gettin my mind right.”

      10. As the author states, the phony Left-Right paradigm is an old tool the system uses to provide an illusion of ‘choice’ in the one-party Amerikan political system.

        Here are two dual-citizen ‘right wing’ neocons – David Frum, Bush II’s speech writer and a dual-citizen of Canada and a certain Middle Eastern rathole, and Bill Kristol (citizen of the US and the same aforementioned rathole) — calling bravely for the US population to be disarmed.

        All the FAUX-News watchers who, in 2003, were frothing at the mouth for innocent Iraqi blood based on the lies about WMDs spouted by these two yeshiva graduates, are about the be “Iraqed” themselves.

        • Something tells me you either didn’t read this or you simply dont have the mental capacity to understand it.

          So lets ask you, Are you ‘frothing at the mouth’ for the innocent blood and mass death Obamalini is still imposing in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and now all over Africa? Not to mention he’s arming Al Qaeda in Syria and letting people die in Benghazi to hide it.

          You should look up the words ‘dupe’ and ‘drone’ while standing in front of a mirror. Nah, you prolly wouldn’t understand that either.

          • I see that half-witted dualism is alive and well in the ‘minds’ of some of the newbies showing up here, and that the system’s ‘left-right’ Kool-Aid has indeed been swilled in copious quantities by certain idiot neophytes.

            Your robotic assumption that I excuse Obama for the same crimes committed between 2003-2009 by the ruling elite (Goldman Sachs, AIPAC, etc.) under the banner of the Chimp is idiotic in the extreme, and really quite bizarre when viewed from the standpoint of a non-system addled asshole.

            Rather than protest my ‘innocence’ to an obvious TV watching buffoon, I suggest that you open some of the previous threads on this forum to read my expressions of disgust for Obama and everything he and his handlers stand for.

            Now let’s be sure to go out and vote ‘Republican’…. that will make everything ‘better.’ Above all, let’s NOT mention the police state that grinning jingoist morons like yourself cheered when the Chimp was setting it up, and which is now controlled by the Marxist mulatto in chief. Yesterday, the target was the “towel head.” Today, the target is the conservative White rural gun owning demographic.

            Don’t anticipate consequences much, eh? Or is it that you like being lied-to and manipulated by unregistered agents of a foreign government, especially if it allows you to feel ‘patriotic?’

            Israel and its agents really don’t differ in their hostility to either White American rural gun owners OR Iraqis/Palestinians etc. In fact, if you look at the surnames and ethnic background of the worst gun grabbers in the US, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that ONE particular ethnicity is moving heaven and earth to put Americans in a position analogous to that of the PALESTINIANS.

            N.B.: You are out of your league in presuming to ‘judge’ my mental capacity.

            • “Your robotic assumption that I excuse Obama”

              I’m sorry, only half-wit left wing retards use the term Faux News to the exlcusion of the rest of the lamestream media. Therefore, yea, you’re a half wit left wing retard. Sorry dolt, I’m not a republican. They’re as disingenuous as your lil screed.

              • I like your schizoid fixation on one meaningless criterion (“Faux News”) as being a definitive indicator of political affiliation. In fact, the appellation ‘FAUX’ is accurate, insofar as Fox News lied this country into a disastrous war for Israel based on phony justifications, with reportage that was FAUX (that’s French for “false”).

                If you think denouncing Obama as a Marxist mulatto and stoutly opposing gun control is “left wing,’ you are dumber than a bag of assholes.

                And you still haven’t answered my question regarding your approval of manipulating the American people with FAUX news to serve the interests a foreign power.

                You’re no genius, pal.

                • Thanks, I dont need your dumbass to explain to me what faux means.

                  Please cite where you denounced Obama or opposed gun control in your little diatribe. I’m sorry, you posted about right wing neocons and faux news. And now you’re throwing out a description of obama as a mulatto so it’s safe to assume your a racist.

                  All three things are hallmarks of the left.

                  War for israel? What war for israel would that be? What country is that being fought in genius? Or is this another left wing anti-semite fantasy war you conjured up with the help of your MSNBC masters? Idiot

                  No, I’m no genius, but I’m still light years ahead of your left wing ass.

                  • ‘You are out of your league in presuming to ‘judge’ my mental capacity.’

                    And BTW dopey, you shoore did insert a whole bunch o projection in there and then foamed at the mouth alot. I just used your words against you, so yea, I think I’m in league to judge your mental capacity.

                  • Pay for Comments – Confessions of a Paid Disinformation Internet Shill

                    3rd October 2012

                    By ExShill

                    ‘Government trolls. Disinformation shills. Call them what you want, they are real.

                    ‘Every day at WuW, we see “comments” submitted on our articles that are blatantly composed by trolls… comments designed to steer the conversation in a pro-government, pro-status quo direction. They pose as readers and first-time commenters, but post essay length commentary quoting “expert” government research on a range of topics, question those who question the government line, and urge us to believe in the path chosen for us by our trusted leaders. If we believe them, everything is and has always been ok. No further questions need to be asked. Those who do are paranoid.

                    ‘This is the story of a man who, due to economically hard times, accepted a job as an internet disinformation shill. After only 6 months, he resigned. He was no longer was able to look himself in the mirror.

                    “My task was simple: I would be assigned to four different websites, with the goal of entering certain discussions and promoting a certain view. I learned later that some of the personnel were assigned to internet message boards (like me), while others worked on Facebook or chat rooms It seems these three types of media each have different strategy for shilling, and each shill concentrates on one of the three in particular.

                    “My task? “To support Israel and counter anti-Israeli, anti-Semitic posters.” Fine with me. I had no opinions one way or another about Israel, and who likes anti-Semites and Nazis? Not me, anyway. But I didn’t know too much about the topic. “That’s OK,” she said. “You’ll pick it up as you go along. For the most part, at first, you will be doing what we call “meme-patrol.” This is pretty easy. Later if you show promise, we’ll train you for more complex arguments, where more in-depth knowledge is necessary.

                    “She handed me two binders with sheets enclosed in limp plastic. The first was labeled simply “Israel” in magic-marker on the cover, and it had two sections .The first section contained basic background info on the topic. I would have to read and memorize some of this, as time went on. It had internet links for further reading, essays and talking points, and excerpts from some history books. The second, and larger, section was called “Strat” (short for “strategy”) with long lists of “dialogue pairs.” These were specific responses to specific postings. If a poster wrote something close to “X,” we were supposed to respond with something close to “Y.” “You have to mix it up a bit, though,” said my trainer. “Otherwise it gets too obvious. Learn to use a thesaurus.” This section also contained a number of hints for de-railing conversations that went too far away from what we were attempting. These strategies included various forms of personal attacks, complaining to the forum moderators, smearing the characters of our opponents, using images and icons effectively, and even dragging the tone of the conversation down with sexual innuendo, links to pornography, or other such things. “Sometimes we have to fight dirty,” or trainer told us. “Our opponents don’t hesitate to, so we can’t either.”’

              • Welcome back, Southern Boy.

                • Not another comment after the call out.

                • Or….”Double Agent”……?

            • ahab

              It must really chap you to know that the Jews are God’s chosen people. You sound like a son of Ishmael….your problem seems to really be with the Jews, not the left. It would be wise for you to remember: “إياك عني واسمعي يا جارة إياك وأن يضرب لسانك عنقك !!”

          • See, that’s the part of leftys I don’t understand..their train of thought and limits.
            It’s like the young children when asked to draw a picture of their world; the poor draw maybe their house with a porch and the middle class w. better incomes draw a picture of their town including grocery stores, theaters, parks-unlimited access due to life experiences.
            The better the income, the more expanded the picture due to extensive life experiences.
            Therefore, this speaks of the attitude of the leftys in ‘not so much’s’ post. How do they not see the whole picture? What happens in other countries will happen here.

        • Regardless of how “awake” the commenters here claim to be you will see the same stereotyped labels thrown about like poo in the monkey house.
          The use of the term “liberal” is straight out of the left/right playbook instead of the dictionary.
          Unfortunately this is simply another example of the American need to divide everything into us and them and they are always wrong about everything. It is sad to see how the ability to comprehend seems incapable of getting above the level of a football game. My team good/your team bad.
          But if you ever want to see why and how the minority so easily controls the nation simply read a comments section. The mindset of America demands such a simplistic worldview.

      11. @ Clint,

        You are sayin’ exactly how I feel and many others as well.

        This is a great article by Brandon Smith, I will pass along to others.

        • I hear you. thanks reel.

      12. Mr. Smith, a very concise, clear message, there is nothing anybody could add, kudos on a job well done. I will be forwarding this to everyone I know, I will put this link on facebook. What you wrote about is the very reason I joined OathKeepers, I have been in law enforcement for thirty+ years and never in my life have I ever seen such an erosion of civil liberties, especially since 9/11. If there are still people who champion gun control ask yourself this: why did the New York legislature vote to implement a draconian gun control measure at 11:30 PM, the middle of the night! You know why, but I will give you a clue, CONTROL, plain and simple, at 11:30 there is no dissension, there are no debates, and the public be damned! For New York to do this in the middle of the night tells me that they were ashamed of what they were doing, they have been roped into one of the biggest con jobs in modern history. These actions are no different than the actions taken when the National Socialists took over Germany in the 1930’s, and we know how that ended.
        I have for all intents and purposes turned my tv off, there is absolutely not one damn thing worth a fiddlers fart that is being programmed. What is being programmed are Americans, every night the same insipid garbage, cop shows up the wazoo, they teach us to love the police state, assinine sitcoms that denigrate the religious, the conservatives and white middle age males, shows advocating gay marriage and abortion. These are not the values of America, these are the values of evil, the evil that is currently residing in washington dc, the evil that is bent on the destruction of our nation. Mr. Smith, I can not speak for others, but I stand with you, and I stand with all other TRUE Americans who are disgusted with what has been done to our country.

        • Cjmartel , well said and thank you for your service ! It is very comforting to see that police and military members are wide awake and prepared !

      13. Quote of the Week
        “The jews own the media lock, stock, and barrel. The jews with their control of the media have been keeping the gullible Whites focused on December 21, 2012 as the end of the world apocalypse. All the while the apocalypse happened November 2008 with the election of Barry Soetero aka Obama and the reelection of said criminal and his cohorts in November with all of the help from their lackeys on the jew owned TV networks and other jew controlled media. There is now a criminal organization controlling the US government with their traitors, thieves, communist, marxist, and other criminals, with John Kerry just one more addition to this RICO group. We have lost this country to them. All that is left is the disarming of US citizens.”

        — George

      14. and don`t speak about National Socialists if you do not have any idea about it, please

        they ,,JUST TOOK BACK THEIR COUTRY FROM THE JOOOOOSS,,

      15. brothers and sisters, there will come a day in the future when you will have to choose if you will stand up for what you believe is right, or bow down. laugh if you wish, but the day is ever-nearing. run this through your head applying your personal situation… kids? wife? family? would you risk not being there for them to do what is expected of you? the easy route will be taken by many. Goliath was very intimidating at first…don’t back down my friends. Don’t back down!

        • It has always been an accepted right of Americans, that where the law is unable, or unwilling, to enforce order, the citizens can, and must act in self-defense against lawless violence–whether white, black, or Latino.
          Blacks, whites, and Latinos must stand together, armed. The common ground we must find is: decentralization of power.
          Armed against criminals of every stripe.
          What our government fears most is blacks and whites united with guns.

          • I couldn’t agree more. I recently read a post on FB written by a Black lawyer that I went to school with. He mentioned that America is headed toward a civil war because of the high tax rate and wealth redistribution that is going on. A fellow classmate of mine, also a Black male commented on his post. He agreed that a war is indeed headed our way because our society has devolved to the point where the “takers” are outnumbering the contributors, and “That’s why they are trying to take our guns away, so they can do what they want– take our money and keep us pacified.” Now, when the everyday, working class people are starting to wake up, that’s something to think about. All of this alleged support for the govt.’s agenda isn’t holding water anymore. They keep telling us that “we” agree to what’s happening, but I don’t know anyone who does, and I have a very diverse group of folks that I know…

      16. I fugure we will wait and see what the Senate and Congress does with this. Until then, prepare, load and stand at the reeady….

      17. What are the 23 E.O’s he signed?

        • doesn’t matter what they are, they aren’t worth the paper they are written on. the pres has NO FUCKING POWER OF EXECUTIVE ORDER, NONE. tell your friends, ask them to show you where it is written in our nations’ founding documents that any president has the power of executive order. it does not exist, therfore all e.o.’s are shit.

      18. Good article,

        My disillusion with the system has been a long slow process. I could feel and sense something was just not right. I didn’t know exactly what it was so I searched out for my place within the system in order to try to understand and have some ownership of the American experience. I could never find the fit. I could never understand how the party that waved the flag could sell us out with policies that hurt the people that lived under that flag or the party that preached that they represented the people meant that the people they represent, they don’t represent equally and that I wasn’t a member of the preferred class.

        I now except that no one has the answer and I’ve stopped searching. I will not follow anyone’s politics. I will wear no label, I will not identify my self worth by politics. I have no representation in this country. I have no faith in the system or the parties. I’ve shrunk my world down to family and friends, the rest of the world can take care of it’s self. I’m not going to put myself on the line for a lie or for someone else’s fantasies or ego. Substance over smoke.

      19. Here’s the original text of the petition by Orly Taitz:

        We petition Barack H. Obama (aka Soetoro aka Soebarkah) to resign due to his use of a stolen CT SSN, forged BC and SS. On February 15, 2013 Supreme Court of the US will hear in conference Noonan et al v Bowen A12606 brought by Attorney OrlyTaitz. This case deals brings forward undeniable evidence of Barack Obama being listed in his school records in Indonesia as an Indonesian Citizen and using his step father’s last name Soetoro. In his mother’s passport records, as a child he was listed under the last name Soebarkah. E-verify and SSNVS show him using in his tax returns a CT SSN 042-68-4425, which was never asigned to him and Sheriff Arpaio, former Chief investigator for Coast Guard Coffman declare his Selective Service Certificate a forgery. Multiple experts found his alleged birth certificate a forgery with letters of different fonts and sizes. We call for Obama to resign due to his use of forged IDs

      20. thumbs down? I said I liked the article. :>) oh…it’s bacause I was first nm

      21. because *

      22. Hasn’t it been painfully obvious for decades that the two parties are controlled by the same interests? I was in high school in the sixties when I woke up to the reality of the American political system. Both parties did all they could to drag out the idiotically useless Vietnam war for as long as they could. They both said all the same lies. They are both the exact same on all but cosmetic issues.

        The central bankers own the western governments. They cause the massive debts and the wars and now they want the American people disarmed. They murdered well over 100 million in the 20th century, mostly after disarming them. Why do you think they want our guns? Free people are armed, slaves are not.

      23. Well written, Brandon.

        “Neo-Cons are not conservative. They are in fact socialist in their methods, and they always expand government spending and power while reducing constitutional protections.”

        -Exactly. The neocons were in fact (Jewish) leftists, starting out as a group around Professor Leo Strauss, teaching politics at Chicago University. They were a leftist movement that turned against the Soviet Union because Stalin had pushed out Trotsky. Their anti-Sovietism was coupled with a pro-Israel stance. The USSR was supporting Arab movements, that couldn’t be allowed, these movements could help the Palestinians. These leftists moved to the GOP when the Democrats showed too much concern for the Palestinians and their last 22 percent of land.

        They declared themselves “new conservatives” but were only interested in fighting the Soviet Union … and doing everything for Israel.

        Note that Paul Wolfowitz is a Zionist, and he is also the guy who gathered the support for invading Iraq. That country was led by an anti-Islamist dictator, Hussein, who had invaded Iran with American support. But he gave money to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, so all of Iraq had to be invaded to kill him. Hundreds of thousands died as a result. (Afghanistan? One neocon, I forget which, said that they “had to” go there first, because Americans expected it, after all the fearmongering against al-Qaeda. By the way, Afghanistan’s government promised to hand over Usama bin Laden to the U.S. if the White House could present evidence about his involvement in the 9/11 attacks. Powell had said before the UN that there was such documented evidence. Powell lied. He admitted this years later, calling it “the blackest stain on my honor.”)

        All for Israel. Tyrannies in Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, Yemen, etc are propped up provided they submit to Israeli demands – no support for the Palestinians, or groups that would support the Palestinians. The neocons demand this. Meanwhile they support leftist policies in the United States: a massive state, Affirmative Discrimination, mass immigration (but not for Israel), control of citizens’ lives in a myriad ways. They are NOT conservatives. They are leftists who are also pro-Israel. They are in the GOP because the GOP was desperate for non-White allies, so the media owners couldn’t call them racist.

      24. Powerful article, very well written, thank you Brandon. The only exception I take (and I know it is just your opinion) is that the left has not just recently taken a turn toward tyranny, they have had that goal for over 100 years.

      25. I agree completely that John Kerry never intended to win. He knew full well that he wasn’t to win when he ran. He simply (and knowingly) played his part in charade designed to present the illusion of Democracy.

        • Same with McCain and Romney. Every election lately has a designated loser.

      26. Progressives only have a problem with fascism when there is an R by the presidents name. Isn’t it amazing how the media no longer pays any attention to Cindy Sheehan after barry took office, funny that!!!!

      27. That is why I converted from the Republican Party to the Libertarian Party.

        Im so sick of intellectually dishonest people trying to defend the democrats even when they act against the beliefs of a typical liberal.

      28. You are why I have armed myself. You exhibit a psychopathalogy that is likely to react with violence merely because someone calls your opinions into question. Oh yeah, extremism begets extremism. Expect a rise in leftist extremism as a direct response to rigth extremism. And no, there are leftist extremists of the magnitude of the rigth extremists, yet.

      29. Just in the nick of time and well said. This is why I am no longer a Democrat as well and will not be declaring a party affiliation anytime soon. Left, right, Dem, Repub is all the same when you get to the top.

      30. Brandon Smith writes some great articles at Alt Market. Speaking as a former Neocon, I know exactly what he is talking about. People like us, those of us who have swallowed the red pill, are the greatest enemy of this corrupt and illegitimate system. I sometimes feel like we are the reincarnated souls of our great brothers and sisters who fought for Liberty in the years preceding and during the War for Independence. I think it is a war we will soon fight again. We do this not for ourselves, but for our children and their children’s children. It is a sacrifice I am both willing and able to make. My death is inconsequential, it’s the future of those who survive me for whom I will fight!!

      31. Police states don’t occur all at once. Little by little, as people become acclimated, new rules are made, taking away more of their civil liberties. Then one day, its out in the open.

        To some, its already out in the open. According to definitions by Harvard Law School, the U.S. is now a police state. They just ain’t got real nasty with us yet!

        • @Cynthia
          Nasty goes both ways 😉

      32. Put all the dems in a fema camp. They like to feel safe!

      33. Wow, I have to say that this is probably one of the best articles i’ve read on this website. I’ve been coming to this site for about a year and rarely post a comment. But I have to say that this piece really struck me. I’ve been seething with anger lately at this administration and what obama (I use his name intentionally with a lower case due to total and utter lack of respect for the man) thinks he can get away with as president.
        I’m a registered Republican for what it’s worth, and as referenced in the article, it’s just a label. But I really did have high hopes for obama when he took office. I figured, here is the first black president of the United States. He’s got a lot to prove being the first black president and will stand out in history. Maybe he can do great things with his position and really be looked upon as not only the first black president, but one of the great ones as well.
        Damn was I wrong. He’s arrogant, self serving, and clearly not a leader. I’m tempted to use endless profanities to describe my feelings for him and the direction he’s taking this country. But I realize that one’s credibility is questioned when profanity laced statements are made so I try to make a psuedo intelligent statement.
        I see the talk on other sites about revolution and uprisings. I’m not advocating anything but agree that this is the only way things will change in Washington. And yet, like this article’s author, i’ll be branded a domestic terrorist if the word revolution slips from my mouth. All I can say is that the next few months/years will be pretty interesting. Thanks to those who make this site what it is. Peace out all!

      34. Thanks for this wonderful article that I can send to leftists I know. It makes the case respectfully but firmly.

        I served in the military when we started withdrawing inspectors and bombed Iraq in 1998 and nobody protested. (I was stationed at Central Command in Tampa) Then I got sent to Germany where I supported our “Shock and Awe” campaign against Serbia’s civilians, again nobody protested.

        I am so sick of hearing leftists complain about how Americans don’t know enough about the outside world and then they don’t know about the above facts.

        Obama is proof that Bush was no aberration, nor did he “hijack” our foreign policy. Bush was just a symptom taking orders from the same people who order Obama. Bush was not a “Cowboy” or “John Wayne” (He was a New England Frat boy) – Bush started this war not because he was “macho” or “trying to one-up his father” he started it to keep America’s rampant consumerism just as it is. Gore would have done the same thing, which is why he chose Lieberman as his running mate. So thanks for dumping on anti-war vets like me you leftists, thanks for letting us know you hate working class people by vilifying Bush for being a “Cowboy” when that never was what he was. Teddy Roosevelt was the last cowboy president we had. But you leftists want to pretend Bush alone started this war because he was just a “cowboy”. No! Your consumerism caused this war. The war was always IN YOUR NAME!

        At least you revealed that you neither support our troops nor do you really wish to bring them home.

      35. The two political parties act in unison in the same manner as do the wings of a bird of prey.

      36. The author expressed his ideas clearly and very sincere. A TRUE PATRIOT. Excellent article, thanks.

        President Ronal Reagan once said, I did not leave my party, MY PARTY LEFT ME.

        President Ronal Reagan was a Democrat, only when he was an actor.

        MIKA BRZEZINSKI (msnbc) should read this article!
        (Zbigniew Brzezinski’s daughter)

      37. Yup not easy after swallowing the red pill is it? Now you see just how deep the rabbit hole goes. I believe the problem is thus:
        America is suffering a spiritual problem and is trying to fix it with political solutions.

        We have asked (demanded more like it)Almighty God to remove himself from our courtrooms/classrooms/and marketplace. From my viewpoint He has obleiged.

      38. LAST!
