So why are our cities $#itholes? If we have the technology available? We’re in an Orwelian universe now and Big Brother is watching you. But you wouldn’t dare to walk by yourself late at night in Baltimore.

Without a doubt. I’m surprised we don’t appear to have Wray’s Goons here trying to Ray Epps us.

And to think this all started with the selection of the worst president in US history.

Tyranny can only ever end in slavery. Tyrants never get enough until after they have it all.

Found it! Alexander Frasier Tyler

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”

My late Dad used to quote this and well before the 70s or 2000. I myself appropriated the idea and changed it:

From slavery to rebellion; from rebellion to liberty; from liberty to apathy, from apathy to tyranny; from tyranny to slavery and back again.

Tyler and Dad said it much better. Tyler may not have said it at all though, still, it seems appropriate.

We probably provide about eight people with federally funded employment.

You are very hungry. Very hungry.

I’m definitely on a list.

I wrote an extensive series of articles on the nature and origin of rights, advocating for a small government, that is being referenced in term papers.

But just to be sure, MAGA, Deep State Destroyer Trump!

Guaranteed every agent of that gestapo stasi organization stole money, gold, and jewels from those safety deposit boxes. Every GD one of them is a crook. If there was ANY justice everyone of them would be facing investigations and a long prison sentence. And all you thug FIBs monitoring freerepublic, you all know it is true. Shame on you.

I admire the U.S. government and in particular the FBI, CIA and NSA. I long for the day when Davos rules the earth and everyone will hold the same opinions.

(think I fooled ‘em??? I hear they stop reading after first paragraph if all is good)

Perhaps you've heard this variation:

Hard times make strong men.

Strong men make good times.

Good times make soft men.

Soft men make hard times.

This cannot be taken lightly. While the defiant might want to stick out their chests and chest bump this reality, something important to remember is that guilt by association is now a real thing. This will not just affect you personally, it will affect everyone associated with you too. Friends and family are also at risk just because you interact with them.

This is no longer just a “So what? they are watching me, they can’t do anything so I don’t care” list... It is now a “Take away your employment and/or income, all your assets, destroy your life as you know it, and maybe even the same for anyone who continues to associate with you” list. It has become a very real and true concern for everyone around you too.

We need to keep up the fight, but just be aware that it is not something to just dismiss and not be concerned about. Important to remember how serious it really will be if they come after you and your loved ones. And they can now do this with a keyboard in just a few minutes. We are not in Kansas anymore.

“My attitude is screw ‘em. I see a Tisas Duty 1911 A1 in my future.”

How are you going to use that against a keyboard on the other end of the country? They can digitally destroy your life as you know it in a few minutes with just a keyboard.

“I was probed, trolled on here in late 2000 dyring the Bush-Gore fight.

The FBI knocked on my door in 2005, I wasnt home, still have the business card they left in the door. Pro tip: Never talk to them.

Yeah, they are all over this site.”

I had similar happen to me also. Not from here, but because I had an account on twitter in my domain name. My domain server was hacked from DoD and NIC servers. Then they hit my firewall trying to get in my box for a few days. Apparently John McCain did not like me calling him out for his lies too often so he sent his dogs after me. Just a few days later I got a knock from the FBI and had to deal with them too. I had to quit Twitter and take a year off from internet politics to let things cool back down.

It gets very real when it knocks on your door and you are being chased digitally all the time.
