How Do We Get Back to Where We Were?
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/31/15 | Dr. Robert Owens

As a Historian I always believe even a little history might help push back the darkness swirling around us

It’s hard to be a conservative when there’s little left to conserve. The increasing pace of America’s progression from free markets to a command economy has reached such a pace and become so obvious that way back in 2009 the Russian Prime Minister used his spotlight time at the World Economic Forum to warn America not to follow the socialist path.

The Russian newspaper Pravda,once the leading communist voice on earth published an article entitled, ‘American capitalism gone with a whimper’. People around the world can see the individual decisions of producers and consumers are being replaced by the form letters of a faceless central-planning bureaucracy even if the Obama boosters still haven’t swallowed the red pill and watched the matrix dissolve.

Pushed by the breathtaking speed of America’s devolution into a command economy some conservatives have entered the ranks of the radicals. They’re beginning to think about how to cure the systemic political problems precipitating the November Revolution of 2008. One solution some are embracing is known as the Sovereignty Movement. This is a movement of citizens and state representatives attempting to right the listing ship-of-state by appealing to the 10th Amendment which says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

As Reagan once wisely said, it’s not back or foreword or left of right. It’s up or down.

The question is when are we going to move back up to freedom and the voluntary cooperation of the free market economy which is freedom in action.

If the 10th could save us, it would already be in use instead of ignored. What CAN save us is Article V. (The Convention of States).

Question: "How to get back to where we were?"

Answer: Fight.

Comment: Fighting is not likely as Americans have been hopelessly divided into squabbling groups(i.e. men vs women; rich vs. poor, etc. etc.). In addition, due to the success of our fathers Americans have lapsed into a life of eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating the bowels, snoring and getting free tickets to "The Game" Lastly, through judicious application of endless propaganda the American is accepting governance by Third World peoples and slinking like a whipped dog into his designated role of ignorance, poverty, victim hood and generally inferior status.

The same thing has been said in many different ways including, once they’ve seen Paris you can’t put them back on a farm, or you can’t put the toothpaste back into the tube. The arrow of time always goes forward. Hitler’s death pits won’t be undug, and Beethoven’s symphonies won’t be unwritten.

However, the Regency period in England (very early 19th century) was a period of debauchery and loose morals. England was successful, but not terribly admirable. This period was followed, in time, by the Victorian Age.

Time moves forward, but societies CAN recover from moral decay.

Fortunately our closed system involves a million mile wide ball of hot plasma turning 4 million tons of matter into pure energy every second. Plenty of opportunity for a local system, such as the Earth, to become MORE organized as the rest of that energy radiates away , unused, into space.

We cannot “go back to where we were” - IMPOSSIBLE.

We are NOT the people we once were; a majority Christian and moral people.

Liberty as intended for us, CANNOT EXIST without a biblically religious and moral people upholding the culture.

The church has already surrendered the culture, and as John Adams himself prophesied - “Liberty once lost, in never regained.”.

It was a precious and fragile gift this people have neglected in their lukewarm dedication to living as Our Lord and Savior instructed us, and by sitting on our hands, abandoned God to escape scorn from the wicked.

Only knowledge will save us. We are being controlled under a misuse of law, specifically the application of corporate law to non-corporate people. Persons and individuals are corporate, people are not. And the reason this is so crucial is because corporations have no rights.

Everything the Left does - all of it - is based on this deception. There is no way out but the truth, and this is the simple, inescapable truth of what is going on in America. Until it is understood and addressed, openly and publicly, by millions of people, nothing will change because nothing CAN change.

But you can’t force a learning revolution, you can’t trigger runs to the law library, and you can’t make an App for this. People have to want to learn this, and the other simple, inescapable truth is they don’t want to.

So that’s that.

Demand and work to initiate indictments, trials, and convictions of traitors to the United States. Until some of these people are sentenced and take take that short drop and quick stop, why should other traitors worry and stop publicly committing treason.

I once thought we could “get back” to a place that made America great. I no longer believe that.

I now think the only way to get back is to let the institutions fail.

I once read (I forget the book) that sometimes the only way to get through a hedgerow maze was to burn it down then walk across the ashes. I think that is the only path left for patriots. We need to be ready to lead when and if that happens.

We don't.

We can get back up again but we will still be in a different spot then we were before.

We need to just move forward. I for one don’t think going back is a good idea, since the past is often the reason for the way things are in the present.

End immigration, nothing can change when we keep importing a million democrat voters annually.

We are more certain to repeat the French Terror, than we are to repeat what established us.

We no longer are held together by a common respect and faith in biblical religion.

We are more like the French were in the late 1700s than the Colonists of the same timeframe.
