The Next Civil War

The conditions for the next United States Civil War were created by the victors of the first United States Civil War, the corporate elite and their political agents. At issue are rights established with The Declaration Of Independence.

The Declaration Of Independence is truly a magnificent document much superior to the United States Constitution, a severely flawed compromise in comparison that ultimately legalized the corporate take-over of the United States Of America. The key phrase of The Declaration Of Independence is

“That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new Government”

These ends,” being, of course, “to secure these rights,” which are “endowed by their Creator,” making them “certain unalienable Rights, among these being Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” It was specifically stated

“That, Governments are instituted among Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

The government established with respect to The Declaration Of Independence was terminated in 1861 when 11 states exercised their rights, declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, also known as “the Confederacy“. Both Buchanan’s outgoing administration and Lincoln’s incoming administration rejected the legality of secession, considering it rebellion.

Rebellion is only possible in the face of the arbitrary will of another person.

Slavery consists of being “subject to the incessant, uncertain, arbitrary will of another man.”

~ John Locke, Second Treatise of Civil Government

The rejection of the legality of secession was also the rejection of the legality of The Declaration Of Independence. The first Civil War was foremost a war to unite the states under a single government controlled by the corporate elite with the ending of slavery a political weapon used more to keep Great Britain out of it than any high and mighty purpose.

The African-American slaves were “freed” to live under the corporate controlled government instituted in defiance of The Declaration Of Independence. Previously, the United States government had existed De jure and since then it has existed De facto.

Without the freedom to exercise the Right to alter government or abolish it and institute a new one, everyone finds themselves to be “subject to the incessant, uncertain, arbitrary will of another man.” Without the freedom to exercise the Right to alter government or abolish it and institute a new one, everyone finds themselves to be a De facto slave.

The De facto government of The United States Of America passed laws legitimizing itself. The De facto government of The United States Of America has been on a global rampage ever since.

1893

The Kingdom of Hawaii was under the rule of a sugar plantation cartel, which in 1887, with the full support of the United States Of America, instituted a constitution that eliminated  the possibility of native Hawaiian self-government.

This constitution became known as the “Bayonet Constitution” because it was backed with the overt threat of military action, “gave all Americans and Europeans, even non-citizens, the right to vote” while denying it to the majority population.

The author of the Bayonet Constitution was attorney Lorrin Thurston, an agent of the sugar cartel. Thurston imposed himself on the Hawaiian government as its interior minister then used that position to plot the overthrow of the kingdom, which was consummated in January 1893.

1898

Hawaii annexed

Global financial crisis and recession as working people (producers) are forced to bail out corrupt bankers and their government enablers (expropriators)

There are many other examples and I invite you to list yours in the comments. The key elements remain the same in example after example as resources are stolen, key individuals deceived and entire peoples are first economically debased and then killed off by introduced diseases, malnutrition, starvation and finally military action as a coup de grace.

“What’s happening in my country is also happening in your country…. You don’t even know it, but you’re the Indians of the 21st Century, and that’s very sad.”

~ Russell Means, Indian Activist and Facilitator of the newly created Independent Republic of Lakota

The pattern set by the post-1861 De facto United States government regarding its treatment of indigenous North American people was

  • repeated around the world by the United States government and continues to this day
  • studied and admired by Adolf Hitler who repeated the pattern in his treatment of Gypsies, Jews and intellectuals
  • repeated by Zionist Israelis in their treatment of the Palestinians

and is now being repeated upon the domestic population of the United States Of America.

So what is to be done?

You could quit. Quit being complicit to everything wrong that is going on.

Quit going along with it all. Simply stop helping it all happen, wherever you can.

Object to what is going on. Stop funding the system.

Stop working for psychopaths. Quit your jobs and go do something else to keep yourself alive.

Go do anything else. Just do not keep supporting the system.

Your life will become more challenging when you face up to your true responsibilities in life. Your life will also become immensely more satisfying.

“Each gesture of this sort, taken individually, seems as evanescent as a snowflake. But an avalanche begins as nothing more than a particularly large gathering of individual snowflakes that somehow found their way to the high ground.”

- William Norman Grigg February 26, 2010

The Next Civil War will be between producers, those who work to earn their own way and prosper through their own efforts, and expropriators, those who survive by taking from others with governments as their agents.

You do not want to be in the middle of this!

Already many United States citizens view government administrations that enrich their business cronies at citizen expense not as opponents but as enemies. The escalation of entitlements is not sustainable and when it inevitably ends so will any remaining public support.

Until that time, productive people who take responsibility for their own lives and well-being are seeing the fruits of their labor taken from them along with their independence, freedom and rights, endowed by their Creator, certain unalienable Rights, among these being Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Being enmeshed in the system increases your risk of becoming a victim. Do not be a victim.

  1. Great article. It should be expanded into a political science or history course, if not a book called ‘The screwing of Americans and what we can do about it.’

    Gandhi said ‘do not participate in anything you believe is evil.’ Thanks for demonstrating the relevance of his wisdom.

    Wisdom is a good response to greed, which ultimately consumes even the greedy.

    I think it will be the peaceful warriors that will win this war, if it is to be won. The opposition is so well funded and the producers are being so ripped off so bad that without factoring in prayer, there would be no hope.

    The best part about producers without anything else for the exporters to take, is the motivation it gives us to make more from whatever we can obtain. This is why the hemp solution (and other self employment opportunities) can allow all folks to grow our own money, and why hemp it’s still illegal, at least for now. Hemp For Victory!

    Thank you for the idea. I was actually thinking about writing such a book and starting it with a back ground history going from before the beginning of so-called civilization.

    I totally agree that cannabis-hemp-marijuana may well be the best crop for subsistence farmers to consider after growing food. It will be interesting to see how well cannabis-hemp-marijuana farmers do after legalization.

    Hey Jay,
    Great article.It wasn’t until we stopped being part of this corrupt unsustainable system that we were able to see the lie that it is.From the quality of the food to the waste produced by capitalism.Even trying as hard as we are we are still having to do things we know are not contributing to the greater good.One by one we are finding out the lies perpetuated by propaganda of the media and those who control it.Everything is done to profit the few while the many are distracted by a constant barrage of disinformation.
    We now have a more balanced life with the earth and each other.We need to move forward even if our leaders are not.When there is so much corruption change will never come unless you become the change.I hope you guys are well.The haybilongs are going to do a recording of lend a hand to the farmer as soon as we can.
    peace and love Glenn

    Aloha Glenn,
    Thanks for the supportive comment. I agree that it seems that too many appear too damaged to recognize their damage.

    Only through a long period of self-healing by slowly extricating oneself from the pit of engineered ignorance can we hope to find truth and clarity.

    Peace, Love, Unity, Respect
