The power elite has all the characteristics of a dominant organism within its optimum ecological niche.

There is only one countermeasure. It’s one too few Americans are willing to embrace:

Destroy the niche.

Literally eliminate the government as it stands and start fresh.
The new basis might be the old Constitution, amended to preclude at least some of the crimes of the last century. It might be a more dispersed form of organization. It might be outright anarchism. But whatever form it takes, it must be utterly cleansed of the power elite and its bastion in the unelected government. Not one stone of that edifice must be left standing on another.

It won’t happen. There’s a stout, high security fence around the status quo.
It’s composed in part of the millions of Americans who are partly to wholly dependent on government for their occupations or sustenance. Those millions will never agree to the amputation of the hand that feeds them. Alongside them are the many millions who believe, whether they express it or not, that “the way things are” is the way things must be. And standing just a little way off are the many – a frightening number, really – whose dearest desire is to gain admission to the power elite and work the system for themselves.

We have the weapons.
We have the numbers. But we haven’t the will. Liberty's Torch: Sitting Back Is Not Giving Up

Your Say

You not only need the will. You need a way. One that will work. Because if it doesn't, you're toast. No one's shown me a way that I think would work.

The people in power will not disappear voluntarily.

Any force strong enough to displace the elite will be uncontrollable by the populace. What may start out as a liberation, lifting the yoke of subjugation and servitude, will soon lose its luster as the dead are bulldozed into shallow graves.

The same strength that made the purge possible will keep the liberators in power. A new elite will form. Rebellion and civil war did not bring good results for Russia, Cambodia, several African countries. Their stories did not have happy endings.

The United States is indeed unique for breaking away from the country that ruled it and forming a new government that looked after the life - liberty - pursuit of happiness of its citizens. We're not going to see that again.

The only way is, no way.

Nobody likes to be told what to do.
Nobody likes to be stolen from.
Nobody likes to be caged.
Nobody likes to be injured.
Nobody likes to be killed.

Without gov't you MIGHT get some of the above.

But with gov't you can bet on it.
You will be victimized by gov't criminals throughout your entire life.

Gov't is a whole nuther set of criminals stacked on top of the regular criminals the gov't tells you it will protect you from, but never does, and it keeps expanding and becoming more and more violent all the time.

The gov't is a rapaciously hungry and violent predator that has cunningly convinced millions it is their best friend.

They seem incapable of learning.

I know, let's sit around criticizing everything, complaining and posturing, comparing ourselves to each other. Don't need any laws, no communities, no leaders, no churches, nothing that takes away our individual freedoms.

Let's see what creature comforts we can obtain and devise strategies for protecting them and ourselves and keeping what we've been able to hoard.

Let's just watch as our country implodes and thugs try to govern it and foreign countries invade and take it over. We can deal with them the same way we deal with the current government, one on one. We don't need them and we expect the same.

If us Common Men do not destroy the Niche, "The Hammer of Reality", will.

Problem is, the powers that be have the high ground; so ANYTHING can happen when the economy ruptures.

God help us all.
