This morning I set out to see if the Cuyahoga Valley Ohio and Erie Canal TowPath bike trail was open. The national park`s assclown circus had placed plastic fencing across the entrances but people had cut that fencing and were still using the trail. I have no doubt the goons will spend the, supposedly non existant, money and time to re-errect those fences and they`ll probably use expensive chain link too. But this illustrates the point that if they`re going to try and make this troublesome for the people, perhaps the people should peacefully make it troublesome for them and force them to show their true attitudes and demeanor. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/10/04/if-theres-one-story-that-may-show-how-ridiculous-the-govt-shutdown-is-becoming-it-could-be-this-one/ Pity I don`t have any way to post pictures of the downed fencing, made me proud of my fellow Ohioans, way to go Buckeye State!

I think Obama has decided this is the time and place where he is going to break the backbone of resistance to his tyranny.

His outrageous over-reachng is intentional.

He is doing his best to push Amerians to the limit - just hoping that someone, anyone, openly rebels so he can use his federal thugs to come down on us like a ton of bricks.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see another domestic False Flag operation leading to a declaration of martial law by Obama.

He is determined to destroy America and any American citizen who stands in his way.

Civil disobedience by large numbers of people is a very powerful lever. Look what the brave people of Cairo did to get rid of Morsi.

"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

- Winston Churchill

“This story highlights the extent of the revulsion this regime has for the people”

I’m praying the American people reciprocate the feeling when this is over.

Peaceful resistance sounds good to me.

Go to a federal park. Break through the barriers then sue for hurting yourself when you broke through the barriers.

Pleased to post that as of this morning, a section of the TowPath trail, from Peninsula, OH to Szalay`s farmstand is still "guerrilla opened" and being used by a limited number of hikers and bikers.

A number of people stated that its thus "opened" from Brecksville Reservation to Merriman Valley. Weather permitting, I intend to try and ride it to Locke 3 in Akron maybe tomorrow or Tuesday, still VERY proud of my fellow Ohioans, way to go Buckeye State!

The blocking say they are just following orders and have no choice but to follow orders. I.e. precisely the defense of the Nuremberg Nazis. They legally have no choice but to follow legal orders, but are all of their orders legal? IIRC under the anti-deficiency act it is illegal for federal employees to commit the government to unbudgeted expenses. Their superiors spending funds to send them on non-routine missions may be an arguable use of executive judgement. I'd love to have someone argue the point in course The 5th requires compensation for 'takings' which some of their actions have been. In addition to going to court to protest the takings, and to demand compensation, I wonder whether they're able to use the Anti-deficiency Act to go after the takers personally.
