It's a Republic Thing -- Do You Know the Difference?

Dear America,

it's all about scale --- total liberty to no liberty.

This is the starting point in a conversation delving into the differences between The Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street protests.  Take ten and watch GthingTV -- or jump to the next video to catch the long wind version of the same thing:

"it wasn't what government did...it was what government was prevented from doing that made the difference."

Considering we are currently witnessing the anarchy phase on many fronts, and recognizing the gift of understanding when we know our history with regard to the rise and fall of civilizations large and small, the John Birch Society videos quickly conclude that the next phase is tyranny through oligarchy.   And really, if you think about it, we are nearly there now.

The Power Elite --

....those controlling the activity of the Central Bank -- the flow of money and the specifically, the printing of money and the growing of a serious national debt

...to those in high office legislating law and regulations, bailing out banks with the people's money, to partnering with private industry, and infiltrating media in order to control how the general public thinks and reacts by way of propaganda

Over time, this formula of the Power Elite meeting up with the power of government creates the very conditions to lose the people's Republic; soon, we return to a time of tyranny, as the government becomes the master and the people become the slave.  Our nation of freedom and liberty for all comes crashing down.

While our founders predicted as much.

"Only a virtuous people

are capable of freedom.  

As nations become corrupt and vicious, 

they have more a need of masters."  

Benjamin Franklin

America's culture, spirit of free enterprise, and prosperous future relied entirely upon the people to remain virtuous -- to be honest, charitable, trustworthy, industrious, hard working, responsible, dutiful, faithful, self-reliant, and on and on and on.

The thing is -- "the public thing," the Rule of Law, the Republic of the United States of America, is being stifled by the Mob.... an organized, mobilized, loud and unlimited power and scope of an overzealous government coupled with the power of unions and fractions of our citizenry who feel entitled to the wealth of others without earning it. This is anti-American in every way.

Our inherent rights, duties, and natural freedoms do not come from government; they come from a higher power; this is the truth and the very basis and reason back behind making good, sound, self-government the cornerstone of our nation's foundation.  If we lose good self-government, we lose everything.

What is the difference between the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street protests?

Strong self-government...

Limited power of government vs. oligarchy running amuck.

Self-reliance vs. Government reliance.

Private ownership vs. Government ownership.

and on and on and on.

Make it a Good Day, G

hope you enjoyed the show.
