A mass exodus from ignorance and organized opposition to tyranny is the dream of every freedom-loving person within the liberty movement today. We would like nothing better than to put an end to the expanding establishment police state in the most peaceful manner possible. We dream of a day when a transition back to the Constitutional values that once made America brilliantly unique in the world is possible, and when it can be accomplished without incredible pain or terrible bloodshed. We long for that once-in-a-century uprising, that great march, that spontaneous eruption of the citizenry demanding a more truthful government. At the same time, though, we realize that such events are rare and that few, if any, great changes in the history of man are made without sacrifice and without direct confrontation.
The reason why peaceful and popular activism almost never occurs successfully, the reason why good people are made to stand and suffer, falls not only to the establishment elites who seek out and abuse power; others share in the blame. Regardless of the age, the culture or the social conditions, there is always a percentage of the general populace that embraces the totalitarian dynamic. There is always someone in our neighborhood, workplace and within our family who finds vindication or advantage in supporting the state, even if the state has turned viciously criminal. They are not only useful idiots; they are conscious participants in the process of pacification and enslavement of their own society. They understand their role perfectly, and they enjoy what they do.
In his examination of the rise of violent fascism in Germany as well as the collectivist surveillance state in communist Russia, psychologist Carl Jung theorized that there is in fact a certain percentage of people in any given epoch that carry within them a latent ability to abandon conscience. That is to say, there is always hidden within a portion of the multitude an inborn potential for sociopathic and psychopathic tendencies. These tendencies remain dormant for many people under most circumstances. But, every once in a while, a society falters to the point where such diseases of the soul are encouraged, and the monsters are allowed to come out and play.
Is it possible that some men are more apt toward truth and freedom while others take more naturally to dominance and deceit? Perhaps. I find that under certain circumstances even the best human beings can make catastrophic errors in judgment. However, there is a difference between those who misstep in life and those who savor destruction. For these people I reserve the label of the “statist thug,” a ghoul in common man’s drag just waiting for the opportunity to scrape out a spoonful of petty authority and assert his will over others. These folks are the day’s damned. And, what’s worse, though they may have been born with a predisposition towards despotism, they still had a choice and they chose villainy. They deserve no special treatment from us.
As America faces down wave after wave of fiscal difficulties, a government gone rogue with false left/right politics and policies that disregard civil liberties for the sake of centralized authority, I believe the statist thugs of our time will soon flow out of the dark recesses and rotten sputtering gutters of our society like a river of septic putrescence. We all know them when we see them, but do we really understand what makes them tick? Here are some common psychological attributes of the overzealous statist, the failings and inadequacies that make him what he is.
Statist Thugs Thrive During Immoral Times
The worst statists are utter screw-ups and failures in normal or semi-normal environments. They barely have the ability to function without constant surrounding chaos and desperation, which they use to camouflage their spastic and childish characters. They are often seen as the dregs of a culture during peaceful years and climb to prominence only when crisis overtakes the nation. When a social environment turns tenuous or explosive, the statist excels. Corrupt governments require the aid of questionable individuals in order to tighten control at the local level, so anyone willing to set aside morality and principle automatically becomes a highly valued commodity. Statists will flock to government employment during national “emergencies” or unjust wars and use the inbred system to their advantage.
Statist Thugs Want Respect, Even If They Don’t Deserve It
Statists demand respect, and they will pursue authoritative positions just so they can remind people of the respect they are supposedly owed. Some of them realize that legitimate respect is earned through valuable works, knowledge, experience and generous creativity. They know it cannot be bought and that it cannot be conned through clever talk, boastful discussion and theatrical chest-beating. So instead of attempting real achievement or taking the risk of falsely playing a part and being exposed, they look for a title and a uniform to fill the void. They eventually attain respect derived by force through institutions within the system. This title will likely be a miniscule part of the overall government conglomerate, but the statist will act as if he is the emperor of Earth once you wander into his narrow jurisdiction. The slightest hint of defiance will send him into fits of rage.

What we are dealing with is clearly Marxist Leninist and needs to stay focused on the fact that the enemy is Marxist Leninist. There are almost zero parallels to the National Socialist revolution and Hitler. It is fine to dislike Hitler, but when we muddy the water and show the leftist that we do not know the difference between a fascist, a communist, or a national socialist, we are playing into the hands of the enemies propaganda machine. There is so much literature about the ideals of the Marxists. both old and new. Our people need to learn what a communist is and what they are not. There was a good posting on Tea Party explaining the differences about two months ago, and it was a much needed tutorial. The Nazi movement is defunct, dead and gone. There is no Hitler youth paralell, but there is a COMSOMAL parallel developing in such innocent looking covers as the Mickey Mouse club. It is hard to find accurate material on the national socialist revolution, because it is still is so politicized, but they are not what we are facing. The main thing is that we must not misidentify the enemy we are dealing with or it will terribly weaken our credibility, and give the left more ammunition to use against us and label us as ignorant back wood bumpkins. We need to stay focused on the enemy we face.
This is a paraphrase from Sun Tzu "The Art Of War". "Know your enemy, know yourself, for in so doing you will fight a thousand battles, and win a thousand victories".
Just to let Ed know..that King O has indeed spawned the youth already like the Hitler youth...vis the Americorps classes for 18-24 yr olds, they "graduated" their 1st class of 285 "kids" in Oct thru DHS....it is Hitler all over! Only there is NO ONE to come save us! There is NO MORE America to come to our rescue like we did in Europe...God Help US!
I agree with the comment on humor. I do not discuss anything with libtards. I merely laugh at them. They act offended but they are really angry that there ignorance has been seen. Confident well balanced people have no need to foist their opinion on others. The libtards need to ear of others to feel validated. They are pathetic people.

Excellent article especially the part about Carl Jung. True, just as there is in every civilization a civilization bearing base, there is also a latent sociopathic element that can destroy civilization.
At the root of this is a group of people that are called by the sugar coated name of Social Engineers.
These can be journalists, left wing activists, or academians among others.
Knowledge is the best weapon. but as we see, people have been conditioned to believe that the social engineers always know best, after all, are not they the ones that have been certified by the establishment as the ones who know?
The truth is that taken out of their warm protected environment where their word is law, they can be challenged and defeated by truth. The Tenure of leftist university professors (who now dominate virtually all institutes of higher learning) allows them to place propaganda above truth, and agenda above knowledge.
I have seen and experienced first hand the vulnerability of leftist who have the status of gods in their classrooms when they are thrown into the arena of open forums with self taught independent thinkers. In fact they fear them, because nothing is as humiliating to these arrogant demagogues that enslave the minds of those who study under them as knowledgeable people who do not have their official credentials but are armed with knowledge and truth.
This is the reason that many of the resources that were once widely available at the touch of a finger on the internet are obscured or very difficult to find since so many of the search engines have agreed to censure their searches. That is because the resources materials available to most academians is almost inexhaustible, and the private man for many years had access to many of those same potent resources which now are suppressed.
I had heard that Ron Paul was going to dedicate himself to restoring the internet back to the common man, but so far I have heard nothing at all from him.
The bald guy in this video is full of it.
Yes, the country voted and the Kenyon won.
My Warning to those who think they won.
You have sown to the wind, now you will reap the Whirlwind!
GOOD people don't have to be NICE.
I'm not NICE.
According to the GOP elite, the problem is us!

Nothing will change; nothing can be done until the dissemination of information on the broadest scale is changed. The Big Media is a lock-step monolith. The conspiracy is perhaps tacit, but nonetheless real. The elite goons who control the flow of information don't care how many web sites there are that release actual truth. They know the numbers. How many people read the myriad conservative web sites vs. those who get their "news" from TV, movies, PBS, and the also myriad but much larger organizations on the left?
Moreover, Truth itself isn't such a big deal these days. Freebie "entitlements" are. I see very little hope for true conservatism. The people, or rather, the population (we ceased being a People after ca.1965), want free stuff, and the conservatives are the patsies who must now pay. Or leave. But go where? 'wish I knew.
