The interesting thought expressed in this article is the idea of the States taking a lead. Given the rumbling among various states this may be true. The value of the states taking the lead would be the fact: they are organized lawful governments, they have many resources not available to private groups i.e. aircraft, tanks, heavy guns, communication facilities. etc.

By the way big numbers are not necessary to effectuate a revolution: The American Revolution was effectuated with 5-10% of the Free population; Thomas Carlyle reported that only about 250,000 Frenchmen effectuated that countries change; Lenin had only about 250,000 out of a population of 100,000,000.

So, what are we waiting for?

I've thought for a long time, that we will win our country back because such a large percentage of the population is now fired up. Once the dam breaks, and first overt manifestations of real defiance appear, the revolution will begin in earnest.

I'm not even saying that it will be violent, but I do believe that it will be a tsunami of pointed rebellion against the tyranny we're now enduring.
