2022
– Year of the Slave
2022 is the Monkey year
Congratulations. You are a
slave.
You
are a slave. I know that's not what you want to hear as you hoist your New
Year's champagne, but it is the unpleasant truth that
we all face going into 2022.
Movies
and public school like to portray slaves as bound by chains and beaten with
whips, creating a polarized image of slavery that can be pointed to with the
comment, "You are not like that, therefore you are not a slave." But
history shows that slaves have been treated in all manner of ways, some more
cruel than theirs, yet even with the most kind treatment, a slave remains a
slave.
Setting
aside the stereotyped image of a slave as a bleeding chain-bound retch, slaves
throughout history are often hard to recognize. In some cases, such as the
Medieval Serfs, they were held slaves to the rulers by religious belief, and
did not see themselves as slaves even though they were treated as such. The favoured
slaves of Asian potentates wore jewels to make a movie star gasp, yet were
still slaves for all their finery and comfort.
So,
what is a slave? How do we define a slave? What test do we use to tell if
someone is a slave. What makes them different from free people? Free people can
say "no". Free people can refuse demands for their money, time, and
children. Slaves cannot. There is no freedom without the freedom to say
"no". If someone demands that you do something and you can say
"no" and refuse to do it, then you are a free human being. If you can
be forced to do something or surrender something that you do not wish to, then
you are a slave.
No other test need be applied. When you are
forced to surrender half your life's work to the government in ever-increasing
taxes, then you are a slave. Throughout history, slaves were expected to
perform the work needed for their own upkeep, then perform additional work for
the rulers. For Roman slaves, the ratio of work-for-self versus work-for-rulers
was about 50-50. The same ratio applied to Medieval Serfs, and even to the
slaves of the American south. And, when you add up all the overt taxes, covert
fees, tariffs, excises, plus the increased price you pay for products to pay
the taxes of the companies that make those products, you will find that
Americans are at that same "half-for-self" versus
"half-for-rulers" ratio! Can you say "no" to the
confiscation of half of your life? Can you even get the masters to maybe reduce
the burden by a significant amount?
No? Congratulations. You are a slave.
The
masters have decided they want wars on anyone living over oil. The idea is that
it is better for American corporations to steal the oil they need than to pay
for it. Millions of Americans (and millions more around the globe) did not want
the war, but the masters started them anyway, by lying to the people. Could you
refuse the war? Can you refuse being lied to?
No? Congratulations. You are
a slave.
The
rulers want your children for their future wars. Legislation for a draft is
already in Congress. Can you refuse the confiscation of your children?
No? Congratulations. You are a slave.
The
government has been caught lying over and over again to the people, from who
really did 9-11, to the legality of the tax system, to Cheney's Energy Task
Force papers, to Saddam's WMDs. Americans are the most lied-to people on Earth.
Can you refuse to be lied to? Can you punish the liars?
No? Congratulations. You are a slave.
Vote
fraud is rampant in the nation, and the mandated imposition of audit-less
electronic voting systems means that elections will be decided (as Stalin
admitted) not by those who vote but by those who count the vote. Can you refuse
a dishonest voting process?
No? Congratulations. You are a slave.
Just
because you cannot see the slave-chains doesn't mean they are not there. Chains
made of steel are obvious, but chains made of beliefs are not always recognized
for what they are. Hitler enslaved the German people to war with a belief that
Poland was about to invade. LBJ enslaved the American people to war with the
belief that Vietnam had attacked the USS Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin. Poland
wasn't invading. There were no torpedoes in the Gulf of Tonkin, but the slaves,
held by invisible chains of beliefs, went to war. Millions died.
In 2021, however, the chains started to become visible. The
Constitutional right to freedom of expression was confined to "free-speech"
zones. A slave may have an opinion, so long as it is not expressed where it
might upset the other slaves. The Constitutional right to an armed populace,
the means by which the men who set up a nation of free citizens hoped to keep
them free, is under constant attack from those who fear a nation of free
citizens, and who will not sleep soundly until we are a nation entirely of
slaves. Armed citizens can, after all, say "no" and make it stick.
That was why there was a Second Amendment, to allow the people to say
"no" to those who would return them to the slavery they had so
recently
escaped
from. Other Constitutional rights and protections have been set aside. The
government can now search through your private records without cause and
without warrant, even break into your home and not have to tell you. Simply by
declaring a citizen an enemy combatant, the government can now lock up US
citizens without a charge and without a lawyer. You can be prevented from
traveling simply for having the wrong name. If you purchase too much gold or
take
home too much cash, or hoard food, the government will take notice. Having a
Farmer's Almanac is grounds for suspicion. Talking about the Constitution is
now deemed grounds to suspect a terrorist link. Torture is now espoused as
"necessary" to "deal with the crisis". Were you able to
refuse those changes to the Constitution?
No? Congratulations. You are a slave.
The
government (at all levels) has borrowed trillions of dollars and stuck your
kids with the payments. Children not even born will be paying off the bills. To
declare the lives of children not yet born, let alone old enough to vote,
indentured to the state is slavery most obvious and odious. Can you refuse
responsibility for payments on debts the government incurred without your
permission?
No? Congratulations. You are
a slave.
The
government has borrowed so much money that it has long ago run out of gold to
pledge as collateral on the debts. Starting in Nixon's administration, natural
resources were used as collateral for the mounting debts. Borrow more money,
promise a chunk of public lands as collateral. These land pledges were
concealed behind "Environmentalism" to disguise the real purpose.
Numerous names such as "Wilderness Reserve", "Wetland",
"Heritage River", and so forth were used to conceal the true scale of
the confiscations. But the end result was the same. Huge tracts of public land
containing natural resources were walled away from the public that owned them,
mortgaged to the holders of the US Government debt. We are well on our way from
being citizens, to being mere tenants. Were you able to refuse having your
public lands placed at risk by the US Government to cover loans you never
authorized the government to make?
No? Congratulations. You are a slave.
Trust
funds under government control are being looted, from the Social Security trust
fund to Native American trust accounts to Federal Retirement Funds. Congress
pays lip service to the looting of Social Security, but considers only more
taxes to cover the looted shortfall. Meanwhile, court cases over other looted
trust accounts drag on without resolution. Are you able to refuse corrupt
and
dishonest government? No?
Congratulations. You are a
slave.
You
are a slave because the ruling class can do what they want, take what they
want, and you cannot refuse. You may have freedom to decide what TV channel to
watch tonight, or just which style car you will drive to your work in, but
little power over the rest of your life. Even that home you have worked to pay
for over the last decade can be taken from you at a moment's notice via
"eminent domain". Can you refuse? No? Congratulations. You are a slave.
In October 2001 I wrote that more
damage would be done to our nation by those claiming to save us from the
terrorists than by any actual terrorist act. Even as Bush claimed that the
terrorists hated the US because of our freedoms, he took what few remaining
freedoms we had away until we are more watched, more spied on, more limited,
more silenced, more taxed, and more enslaved that at any other time in our
nation's history. Not only are we slaves, we are at last starting to see that
we have been slaves all along. We did not have rights, because a right cannot
be taken away. What we had were indulgences, granted by the masters to the
slaves, to be removed when the masters grow fearful of the slaves' resentment
and anger.
I know this is a very depressing article to
read on the New Year, but I have watched through 2021 as people I care about
lost their homes and businesses, as the labours of a lifetime evaporated in
stock market manipulations by corporate crooks. These Americans who had worked
hard to achieve the American dream lost it all through no fault of their own.
Our schools are broke, hospitals under-staffed, the roads and bridges and rails
of the nation are crumbling while billions of dollars are given away to foreign
nations, favoured cronies, and the ravenous war machine.
The priority of the government that feeds on
taxes seems focused everywhere but on those who pay those taxes. And we can't
seem to refuse that either. I think the state of the nation can be summed up by
a simple contrast. Tommy Chong is in jail for selling a pipe, while Ken Lay
walks around a free man with the billions he stole from his employees and
investors. Any way you slice it, that's a pretty screwed up situation.
I
promised a reader that I would make some predictions in this article. I wish I
hadn't because I am hoping I am wrong on most of them.
1.
There will be another fake terror attack. The Neocon war agenda cannot move
forward without it. Those who hoped Iraq would be the end of the wars are in
for a rude shock. The hawks want the entire planet, either directly ruled by
the US, or ruled by obedient puppet regimes. Another "attack" is
needed.
2.
The US will eventually lose their war of conquest of the world. The US does not
have enough troops to garrison the planet, and as Hitler learned much too late,
merely having superior weapons isn't going to win a war when you've pissed off
absolutely everyone else in the world. On a more practical level, sooner or
later the US will wind up at war with someone who really DOES have nuclear
weapons of mass destruction.
That this is the government plan is witnessed
by the numerous underground facilities which have been built or upgraded in
recent years. You paid for them, but you won't be allowed in them. Such an
attack on the US is small price to pay for those who promote these wars, not
for America, but for another nation standing by while its victims are tricked
into fighting each other.
3.
Minus a war, the US Government will eventually collapse as did the Soviet
Union, dragged down by debt and corruption. As the final collapse looms closer,
look for the looting of the nation to become even bolder than it is now. The
last official act of any government is to loot the nation.
4.
I am opposed to violence. I wish it could be avoided but I do believe that this
nation is headed towards a collision between the rulers and the ruled. The
government fears this as well or we wouldn't see so much bullet-proof Lexan
between us and our "public servants". I think that the reason we have
not seen it yet is that Americans have been conditioned to expect a hero or saviour
to come and make things right. We know things have gone wrong, but we are
waiting for someone else to fix it, Superman, the cavalry riding to the rescue,
Spartacus, the Messiah, Batman, What Really Happened, etc. This belief that one
should wait quietly for a hero is part of the slavery mechanism, to keep you in
your place, rendering unto Caesar, breeding more slaves, waiting for salvation
that never comes.
However, as history has shown, even the
patience of an entire people can run out, and I predict that when the final
upheaval comes, it will arrive as suddenly as that which occurred in Romania. In
November 1989, Romania seemed stable under the rule of Nicholai Ceausescu. One
month later, a sporting event erupted into a spontaneous political protest and
on December 25th, Nicholai Ceausescu was tried and sentenced to death.
Ceausescu proved that tyrants should not confuse silence with consent. The
Romanian people finally realized that nobody was coming to save them, and they
had the courage to save themselves. The collapse of the USSR was equally rapid
and almost as unexpected. So shall it be in the US. Like I said above, I hope I
am wrong in my forecasts.
However, it is clear that the US Government is
under the control of individuals intent on personal enrichment, or loyalty to a
foreign nation above our own, and seeing no reason at all not to continue on
their present course. Confrontation seems inevitable. The founding fathers set
up a nation in which government was by the consent of the people. We The People
agreed to certain obligations, and the government we allowed to care for our
national sovereignty agreed to abide by certain limits set forth in the
Constitution. The present government has broken the agreement, discarding the
Constitutional limits on their power and authority while at the same time
piling more and more obligations onto the people. Were you able to refuse them?
No? This more than any of the other reasons is why you have ceased to be a free
human being, and are now a slave. You are a slave.
When you live under a government that takes
your wealth and your children and lies to you to keep you docile and scares you
to keep you obedient, how can it be otherwise? You are a slave.
You can stay that way, or not. It's that
simple. Nobody is coming to save you. There are no heroes, no cavalry riding to
the rescue. Whether you and your children will live as slaves or as free human
beings is entirely up to you.
"You
are a member of government. And one of that majority which has doomed my
country to destruction. You've begun to burn our towns and murder our people.
Look upon you hands. They are stained with the blood of your relations. You and
I were long friends. You are now my enemy and I am yours."..... .Benjamin
Franklin 7-5-1775
