A Letter to a Generation - DO YOU REMEMBER MARIO SAVIO?
THE CURRENT HORRORS will not be stopped by politicians and/or lawyers. Those efforts were tried unsuccessfully during the Vietnam era, which you may be too young to remember. They will never work today despite thoughtful analytical essays, websites, petitions, conferences, etc.
Here is a little history from a guy turning ninety this year. Roughly twenty years prior to the Vietnam War there was a murderous dress-rehearsal in Korea. Civilized efforts to stop the terrible bloodshed being done in Vietnam failed repeatedly. Jim Rhodes, Ohio’s State Auditor, for whom I saved a Sunday "New York Times" newspaper (when I worked on weekends at Cole’s Pharmacy in north Columbus, Ohio) after moving up from State Auditor to become Ohio’s governor, called out the Ohio National Guard that shot and killed four students, wounding eight or nine others, at Kent State University where there was a small anti-Vietnam-war demonstration. Believe it or not, the public was overwhelmingly critical of the students, not of the National Guard or of the Ohio governor. The famous Peace Symbol was viewed as despicable and the war escalated. A remarkable young President who opposed Vietnam war planning was killed. Given that atmosphere, how could our government's murderous military activity in Vietnam be brought to an end?
Here is how a free people who became fed up with their own government did it. College students held military draft cards. When any war protest arose they were happy to support it. Many fled to Canada to avoid being drafted and sent to the jungles of Vietnam. The antiwar protest was a campus centered thing. Starting at the University of Wisconsin, it spread to the large land-grant state colleges, and then to Berkeley in CA, Columbia in NYC, and elsewhere. Christian clerics became outspoken protesters and tossed animal blood around a draft board office. War protesters chained themselves to columns of government buildings in Washington D.C. Protests, riots and violence (against property, not humans) erupted throughout the country. That is what was required to finally stop the war, active mass protests. I left my job, taking earned vacation time in NYC to return to my college (Ohio State University, in Columbus, Ohio). Growing a ponytail, I joined the long-haired kids. Many respectable Americans were horrified and unsupportive.
Here is how a younger generation changed America's international policy and stopped that war. Every year a bill came up in Congress to fund the war. It was euphemistically titled something like funding for aid to South Vietnam. Guess what! When President Ford sent it to Congress for signing, he was shocked and amazed when the politicians (although compromized as ever) declined to sign it. There was no more money to continue the war. Simple as that. You might wonder, why did the lobbied guys in Congress not sign the bill, as usual? They were terrified to return to their districts if they signed it. Their hometowns were partially ablaze. We did that. The NY Review of Books had great anti-war articles by Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, and others. They were read by a small intellectual minority. Mass protests that required resistance stopped the bloodshed, not philosophy, peace marches, essays, car signs, tatoos and T-shirts.
Without increasingly violent defensive mass protests who knows how much further and longer the Pentagon’s war-mongers, the CIA, and the U.S. Congress would have gone, even after more than fifty thousand young Americans had been killed and tens of thousands injured and crippled? The Pentagon's top military career men, and many American corporations holding government contracts, were getting richer and richer. It has been disclosed that U.S. corporations, supported by their bankers, made and financed equipment for the enemy that killed U.S. troops, just as they had done during both of their two previous World Wars. (If you require confirmation, read the research of Antony Sutton (at bigeye.org/antonysutton.htm). Professor Sutton was attacked by the IRS, which is in the picture today, as usual.
Petitions, a vote, lawsuits, etc., are interesting. Drafting, presenting, defending, and implementing litigation is like watching paint dry. More talk just encourages the usual suspects, letting them sense that all is well for themselves as long as they continue to hoodwink Americans with propaganda (news broadcasts) on their television networks. We need to do the job through online recruitment and active protests regardless of what others think or say. There are enough persons using the internet today that when this program becomes unacceptable to the dreadful few, we will have provided the seeds for massive organized resistance. Perhaps violence (against property only) will be unnecessary. They are few! We are many and we are armed to the teeth for defensive purposes, unlike unfortunate disarmed nationals (such as in Canada, Australia, etc.). Americans are able to protect their Liberty thanks to the predictive ability, historical insight, and foresight of the writers of our great U.S. Constitution, particularly its Second Amendment (which was designed specifically for a time like this).
Young Americans came together, Whites, Blacks, Jews, Gentiles, Hispanics, Asians, etc., those who valued laws encoded in our U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights. They confirmed the fundamental rights given to us, not from any government, but that come from God, "to institute new Government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. . ." We Americans are blessed, protected by a legal right to assemble, albeit in justifiable anger, for Liberty, Peace, and basic survival (including personal health decisions). Remember the Vietnam era. Look up the speech by Mario Savio in California. It is applicable today.
These are again "the times that try men's souls. We, Americans of all ages and of various and differing political/social viewpoints, must respond in numbers, defending ourselves if necessary, to save our own lives as well as the lives of our companions, our children, their children, and of future generations, not only on this continent but throughout the world.
Note: Just so you don’t have to look them up, here are Mario Savio’s closing words:
"There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!
Banks/governments: "All your money are mine."
😹cats do the darndest things 😹
Writers and authors lose jobs to AI.
"governments will simply change the rules without notice, completely outside the law, and they will steal your bonds, your deposits and your shares to keep their own authoritarian regimes in power while gutting investors." People with finances are the losers.
