American Tyranny--Soft Now, Hard When?
The Shruggin Out Podcast (link downloads an MP3 file) ^ | December 6, 2012 | Pete Ferrron

Posted on 12/10/2012 5:34:13 PM PST by crusher

Pete Ferron, a skillful thinker and communicator par excellence, lends his Shrugging Out Podcast voice to the analysis and not-so-wild speculation about the continuing devolution of the American society with the ever encroaching growth of the American State. Give it a listen and see if you find his level-headed, insightful, non-histrionic mega-plausible glimpse into the future as unnerving as I did.

I fear that the only path to Free America is for us to endure a Soviet-style collapse and pray for the good fortune to make America 2.0 more robust than was America 1.0. How that occurs with this low-information looter-mentality-polity is above my pay grade.

The numbers indicate tome that there is no way out.

Methinks Ayn Rand may have been a naive optimist...

From my perspective as a FLEO it is already hard. It’s just a matter of how intense we are going to let it become.

4 Americans murdered in Benghazi while the entire White House and Pentagon operational staff watched...Yes we have hard tyranny.

Obama supplies weapons to Drug Cartels that subsequently murder 200 Mexicans and two US Federal LEO's, yep it's hard.

The societal and economic circumstances that lead to our Constitution cannot be duplicated.

When interest rates rise and the entire budget is consumed by debt, the world’s grand experiment in self government will be over. It will not return.

A genocide is coming, and we’re the targets for the yellow stars this time around.

Maybe then, when we’re burning in the camps we will recognize what a hard tyranny is. After all, Jefferson wrote that men will suffer evil, while evil is tolerable, rather than righting themselves and throwing off such evil.

after te collapse, there will be a purge. the left is in position and has the desire to do it... the right will only react, but in small pockets

the only question is when will it start

after it starts, about the only move left is bunker down ‘red dawn’ style or leave

Perhaps the best strategy is to be among the first arrested, so that you can grab an upper bunk in the camps.

Obama is the United States Gorbachev. The only differance is that when the Soviet Union collapsed few people saw it coming. With Obama, the whole world see’s it coming.

I have a different strategy.

One that ensures I never make it to the camps.

If feudal governments like Obama’s can’t get their debt payments from their peasants they’ll get them from some other country’s peasants.
