Now I do not wish to be just another internet blogger - for while disseminating information is vital in the process of waking people up - the internet is limited in its effectiveness to produce change.
Change - real revolutionary change - is always accompanied by action.
So what action do I call for?
The use of your rights, screaming from the rooftops and civil disobedience.
Rights are inherent to you - the individual. They are not granted to you by government. We give government privileges - while We The People have rights. This is the way our form of government was set up. In fact the founders said there are such things as unalienable rights. These are rights that no other human being - or group of human beings - are allowed to limit or restrict your use thereof. They are bestowed upon you by your creator - and as a free and sovereign human being, not born into slavery, bondage or indebtedness to anyone but your creator - they are your rights to keep.
Sadly enough, however, the phrase "Use it or loose it" when speaking of rights would most certainly seem to apply.
When a people become docile and stop exercising these rights - a right to free speech for example - tyrannical governments then find it all too easy to sell the deception that they have taken certain rights away from you. So my first call to action is simply: Use of rights.
Secondly I strongly advocate screaming from the rooftops. Never before in human history have we been so engaged in a war for the hearts and minds of our fellow citizenry. We are bombarded with propaganda every single day - barbed arrows poisoned with untruth volleyed at us from every angle. With government controlled education it us up to us to be the educators of our fellow man. Knowledge is power. And with great power comes great responsibility. Sharing truth is a responsibility that is accompanied by the knowledge of freedom, liberty, and those things inherent to us that cannot be given or taken away by another. Furthermore, when you become aware of a pattern of injustices and abuses we have a moral responsibility to not sit idly by.

-points out very adeptly that historically the most powerful weapon to affect social change is mass demonstration and protest. And by this I'm not talking about acquiring a permit, and being barricaded by police out of sight and out of mind of whichever evil you are protesting - as is so often the case in the modern American Police State. Truly exercising your voice can be as simple as having an enlightened conversation with the person next to you in line at the supermarket (something I've been known to do many-a-time) or organizing a mass demonstration that brings 'business as usual' to a complete and unwavering halt.
Lastly I encourage my fellow man to actively participate in civil disobedience. Tyranny always gains a foothold when people do not draw a line in the sand and make a stand for what they believe in and take a position for what is right. I cannot tell you where to draw your line - that is an individual decision. I - for example - believe that my right to travel freely about this earth is a right bestowed upon me by my creator. I do not think I should have to ask permission from a governmental agency to travel upon the roads I've paid taxes for in a piece of technology that I own. I believe that my right to travel should only be restricted if I have infringed upon the rights of others and driven drunk, recklessly injured someone, etc.
The original drivers license was issued to the inventor of the modern automobile, Karl Benz. It was issued as a permit of sorts by the local authorities after he petitioned them for permission to drive his automobile on public roads. He did this because of the high number of complaints from his fellow citizens about the noise and the smell. Only later did the drivers license have anything to do with proving aptitude to operate a motor vehicle, and then moved even beyond that to a way for the government to obtain all of your personal information and updated photo of you every so many years. Needless to say I strongly oppose the idea of having to be given permission by a government to drive, much less them keeping an updated photo of me (that they now take with facial recognition capabilities).
I do not, however, place the drivers license on the other side of the line of what I will not comply with because I see the wisdom in 'picking and choosing' my battles. That's not to say that I don't know patriots in their late 50s who have never held a drivers license. Some of them have went to jail on more than one occasion because of their belief in their sovereignty and they continue to peacefully refuse to comply.
You as the individual must decide what issues warrant civil disobedience. Draw your line in the sand and stick to it. Drawing the line does no good if your reaction to the line being crossed is simply to take another step backwards and draw another - then meaningless - line.
As Thomas Jefferson wrote, "And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance?"
While Jefferson was referring to allowing the citizens to keep and bear arms the psychology of the resistant spirit is, in my opinion, the most important element to retaining freedom and liberty.
If a majority of the populace takes a stand and - for example - refuses to participate in the REAL ID act, what will the tyrants do? They cannot jail all of us. Even if only a small percentage of Americans refused it would virtually leave their hands tied.
In my grandfathers day the American people would not put up with a sliver of what we tolerate today. Besides the sodium fluoride in our drinking water to keep us docile, chemtrails in the air and harmful vaccines...
What has happened to our generation to make us so passive? Questioning authority, believing that patriotism means challenging the establishment - not the blind following thereof - these things are what make up the American spirit! These qualities are what liberated the colonies from an unjust tyrannical rule.
The very definition of patriotism has been reversed. We are now led to believe that if we challenge the government we are unpatriotic.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
