The war has been fought behind the scenes. Corporations won. The guys who engineered the theft of the worlds money supply have convinced us that only they have the expertise to fix it. They won twice in a row.

I think it was all over when corporations started buying policy-makers (politicians).

I think I like this view the best of all. It appeals to the Nietzschean in me that says all civilization and greatness is built on vast amounts of misery.

In the current socioeconomic context, it’s particularly seductive. In normal times people say, “you can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs.” I would like us to at least entertain the thought that in times like these, you can’t make an omelet without breaking people.

Yeah! Let’s overthrow this government and replace it with…what exactly?
Whoever is best at inciting riots?
Whoever has the largest cache of weapons?
Whoever controls the most industries?
Whoever has the most gold?
Whoever controls the military?

Sounds like a job for the Stonecutters. Remember their theme song:

Who controle the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do, we do!

<snip> Lastly, California, Oregon, and Washington Will become the Pacific Republic. Alaska will remain independent, and Hawaii will fall to self rule.

Nah, we’re going to be the Republic of Cascadia and leave CA to the heathens.

You forgot toys, dude, toys. Everybody knows that whoever has the most toys at the end, wins.
