Where are the Patriots?

Those of us who have long been paying attention to the dismantling of the “American Dream” have been lone voices screaming bloody murder. More and more people are now clued in because recent financial events have exposed the beast for all to see. Nothing like a hit to the pocketbook to get an American’s attention. Will we reach a critical mass? Will anything really change?

I have been completely mystified for years on this subject. How can this great country be intentionally destroyed with nothing more than a whimper from the masses? There have to be thinking people in positions of high authority that actually meant it when they swore to defend and uphold the US Constitution. Is there such a thing as permanent leave? Have even those that serve in the intelligence agencies gone over to the dark side?

Apparently, donning white hats went out of style with films of the old west.

It would take a much more extensive essay to describe a true American patriot. I’ll be very brief here for the purposes of this article. The sacrifices our Founding Fathers made in the name of freedom were exemplary to put it mildly. A patriot would demand national sovereignty, honest money, fair markets, no encroachment on individual properties or liberties as well as a representative government. That’s for starters.

The following historical events provided multiple occasions for real patriots to step forward:

* Official accounts of 9/11/01 reek to the heavens. Can you trust a rogue government (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkl3pUmkzdU)? Only the “conspiracy theorists” smelled foul play.

* The events leading to the invasion of Iraq in order to dismantle their supposed weapons of mass destruction was contrived to say the least. Where were the patriots?

* The Geneva Conventions against torture and war crimes have been ignored most of this decade. Where were the humanitarian patriots?

* The Patriot Act and Homeland Security measures have stripped the Constitution and our Bill of Rights. Where were the freedom lovers?

* Americans and other global citizens have long been spied on by their own governments (http://www.tysknews.com/Depts/Big_Brother/echelon_spy_in_the_sky.htm). Hear no evil … see no evil.

* The elitist banks of Wall Street have long been the epicenter of fraudulent and criminal activities that have now sent the world into a synchronized recession/depression. There were lots of cheerleaders on the way up but the patriots were M.I.A.

* What we call “money” is nothing more than a system of profiteering for those who administer it and reside closest to its spigot. Silence is golden though the money is not.

* Gold has been officially suppressed for decades and only the gold bugs squawked (http://www.gata.org).

* The US is bankrupt by any measure other than what officials bring our way. There is coming a default heard round the world. Few are aware or prepared. What, me Worry?

* Congress and the Executive Branch have completely ignored the overwhelming will of the people and taken care of their own … the banking elite. True patriotic activity is just now showing up. Restless native Syndrome is incubating.

* A new administration takes office and Republicans and Democrats are so busy demonizing each other they fail to realize the same crooks remain in control behind the curtain. Patriots don’t belong to secret societies favoring one world government.

* Martial law is part of ongoing authoritarian game planning (http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/09/24/army/). Our military cannot be constitutionally used on the state and local level. Will the men and women who signed up to defend the American people assist in enslaving us? Military patriots have shown up here in the form of Oath Keepers (http://oath-keepers.blogspot.com/2009/03/oath-keepers-declaration-of-ord...)! Will this movement find our military loaded with true patriots? You’d better hope so. Please forward this key literature to those you know serving in our various military branches.

* The Missouri Information Analysis Center distributed a secret report to law enforcement officers that those that defended the Constitution, were anti-abortion, opposed the New World Order or voted for mentioned third party candidates (etc) were to be treated as “domestic terrorists (http://www.newswithviews.com/baldwin/baldwin501.htm). Due to an outcry from concerned citizens and organizations this totalitarian measure has been forced back into the darkness from which it came.

* Tax protests and “tea parties” are taking place around the country with one specific goal of bringing transparency to the Federal reserve via Ron Paul’s H.R. 1207 (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-1207). Concerned citizens are now in the streets.

* States are demanding their Constitutionally guaranteed sovereignty per the Tenth Amendment (http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2009/02/09/state-sovereignty-movemen...). Another wake up call.

What’s all this mean? There is a clear and growing movement to reign in a rogue government and their ruinous cronies. The backlash against government fraud, waste and abuse is palpable. It is not just the internet that is now alive with educated and outraged American patriots.

To that I say … welcome aboard. We have a lot of catching up to do.
