A quote from Brad Thor

[tombogan03884]

While reading Brad Thor's latest book "Full Black" I ran across a quote I thought every one here should be aware of since it has implications for some of the recent debates on current political events.
I am not identifying the speakers in order to avoid spoiling it for those who will read it in the future.

"And just so I don't miss this glorious new dawn of global governance when it happens, what should I be on the lookout for ?" asked XXXXX. "Blue helmeted United Nations soldiers marching up Main Street USA? Or will it be more subtle than that?"

  "You don't have to look for anything," replied YYYY. "It's already here. It's all around you. You've been looking right at it for years without knowing. You still have your name. You still have your Flag. You still believe you have your freedoms, though in reality thet have been slowly siphoned away. You still believe you have a Republic when day by day what you are being left with is merely the illusion of a Republic . Your entire house, as it were, has been rebuilt one brick at a time and no one has even noticed. No one has done a single thing about it."

So the next time some blind ignorant tool tells you reversal of traditional values, such as gay marriage , or deficit spending is "good", or "fair", if you believe them YOU are part of the problem.

Strangely similar to Walter Mitty's article I had to go back six pages to find...

snip,

The enlightened rulers of this great land did not seek to deprive the people of their right to bear arms. Unlike tyrants of the past, they had learned that it was not necessary to disarm the masses. The people proved time and time again thaty they were willing accomplices to the ever expanding authority of the government, enslaved by their own desire for safety, security and welfare.

The people could have their guns. What did the rulers care? They already possessed the complete obedience that they required.

In fact, in their more Machiavellian moments, the rulers could be heard to admit that permitting the people the right to keep and bear arms was a marvelous tool of social control, for it provided the people with the illusion of freedom.

The people, among the most highly regulated on earth, told themselves that they were free because they retained the means of revolt. Just in case things ever got really bad. No one, however, seemed to have too clear an idea what "really bad" really meant. The people accepted the fact that their government no longer even remotely resembled the plan set forth in their original constitution. And the people's values no longer remotely resembled those of their Founding Forebears. The people, in their naiveté, really believed that the means of revolt were to be found in a piece of inanimate metal! Really it was laughable. And pathetic.

I just read the whole thing again....it makes me steamin' mad.....

I keep harping on the fact that the people who don't see it are blind because they WANT to be blind.
They want to be like the "good Germans, they want all the goodies while still be able to cry "I didn't know".
BS.
Lenin, Hitler, and Soros all published their intentions.
Churchill started trying to warn you in the 20's
Walter Kravitsky tried to warn you in the 30's
The John Birch Society was started in the 40's.
Joe McCarthy tried in the 50's.
Goldwater tried in the 60's.
The people are ignorant victims because they want to be.
They deserve what they are getting.

Ike too, in the late 50's.
And data seems to indicate that Kennedy was going to do something about it in the 60's.

And the problem with your last line is 2-fold -

1. It's happening on our watch, and
2. They're taking us down with them!

 The Soviet Union collapsed on our watch as well.  I don't care what the a holes do to themselves.
#2 is the only one I care about. if the azzholes were going to an island some where I'd say "go for it, let me know how it works out for you"
It's not just us though, they think the policies that have failed in half the countries in the world will still work if they apply them every where.
Their goal is a world where the incompetent, and incapable are artificially propped up while the capable and ambitious are suppressed.
That means that many of us need to be rendered powerless or killed.
Ted will not be the only one winding up in prison or dead.

Remember the American Gun Control Act of 1968, was almost word for word copied from the German Disarmament Acts of the the 1930's.

Dodd was elected as a Democrat to the House of Representatives in 1952, and served two terms. He lost a Senate election in 1956 to Prescott S. Bush, but was elected in 1958 to Connecticut's other Senate seat and then re-elected in 1964.

Before becoming a U.S. senator, Dodd was hired to lobby for Guatemala in the United States for $50,000 a year by dictator Carlos Castillo Armas.[16] According to the North American Congress on Latin America, Dodd "had perhaps the coziest relationship with the Castillo Armas government."[17] After a short trip to Guatemala in 1955, Dodd urged the House of Representatives to increase aid to the Central American country. Dodd's amendment passed and Guatemala received $15 million of US aid in 1956.[18]

In 1961, Dodd visited the Congo to investigate the civil war caused by the secession of the province of Katanga. In his memoirs, the United Nations Representative in the Congo, Brian Urquhart, described Dodd as a "vain and silly man" who "knew nothing of Africa."

As chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency, Dodd worked to restrict the purchase of mail order handguns, and later shotguns and rifles. These efforts culminated in the Gun Control Act of 1968, which Dodd introduced.[

In 1967 Dodd became the first Senator censured by the US Senate since Joseph McCarthy in 1954,[23] and was one of only six people censured by the Senate in the 20th century. The censure was a condemnation and finding that he had converted campaign funds to his personal accounts and spent the money.[24][25] Beyond the Senate Ethics Committee's formal disciplinary action, other sources (such as investigative journalist Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson's Congress in Crisis) suggest[26] Dodd's corruption was far broader in scope,
