Gulag Archipelago Excerpt on resisting tyranny
http://targetfreedom.typepad.com/targetfreedom/2009/02/gulag-archipelago-excerpt.html
An excerpt from "The Gulag Archipelago" ... on how to resist fascism & tyranny. The lesson that is just as important today as it was half a century ago.

"During an arrest, you think since you are not guilty, how can they arrest you? Why should you run away? And how can you resist right then? After all, you’ll only make your situation worse; you will make it more difficult for them to sort out the mistake.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family?

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! We did not love freedom enough. Every man always has handy a dozen glib little reasons why he is right not to sacrifice himself."

FEMA & DHS preparing for mass graves and martial law near Chicago?

FEMA inquired to where mass graves could be placed in the county and would they accept bodies from elsewhere.
Concentration Camps in USA?

Who believes that this is true? You judge it for yourself.

I did not pass this along because I have no way of verifying that it is true. After the high level of interest that was expressed at the meetup, I have concluded that people should at least have the chance to judge it for themselves. These videos are presented WITHOUT ANY CREDITS BEING GIVEN. These videos are supposedly produced by someone on the inside; who found his OWN NAME on a list of people to be liquidated, and then decided to tell the public. The voice is electronically altered. You judge it for yourself.

Gee, why didn't we see this on TV? (Duh?):

Personally, I am not going anywhere.

BUT if I wind up in a concentration camp, I am not going to have to remember a day when I should have done more to defend liberty.
I will save this country or die trying.

There is always a government shill who is ready to tell us that we should not believe what we see with our own eyes. His usual routine is to tell us that there is something magic about our time, or our location that makes it different from all other times and places. Sometimes he will claim that a new technology makes us safe. Governments are usually ahead of the little people on making use of new technologies.

This happens over and over again, and the main reason that it happens over and over again is because people will not face the simple horrible reality, and deal with it.
People are predisposed to ignore a horrible reality.Even people who KNOW that this happens over and over again just keep saying "It can't happen here."
This is pure madness, but it is also sometimes the result of clever government propaganda. The government shills will spin the awareness of the people into ignoring the horrible reality.
It does not matter if we are hearing pure madness or clever government propaganda. In either case it is fatal to deal with government shills or ignorant dreamers.
The usual procedure is that ten or twenty stormtroopers take one man, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. If he still has a gun, his gun never comes out, because it happens too fast. He does not even wake the neighbors. Usually he thinks that he will be able to work it out in court.

Since an entire ARMY of stormtroopers focuses on one town at a time,
the next morning thousands of people are gone.
WHOEVER IS LEFT IS SCARED TO DEATH, AND THEY ARE JUST GLAD THAT THEY WERE NOT TAKEN. The people in the next town never know what happened until it is their turn. Communications systems "fail" as soon as it begins.

Increases in technology work to the benefit of tyranny. High tech systems cost too much for the little people, but not too much for government. Ask what is left of the Branch Dravidians in Waco.
At the time that the Feds came to snatch Elian Gonzalez every cell phone stopped working. They can also turn off electricity and come in with night vision equipment. Battery operated strobe lights might be a good purchase. Do not be quiet. Sound an alarm. Wake the neighbors. Loud sirens of security systems, fog horns or bells might be nice.

Tell those people who just keep saying "It can't happen here" to talk with an American Indian or a Japanese American. It has ALREADY happened here.

Congressman Denied Access to Martial Law Plan
http://waronyou.com/2008/04/congressman-denied-access-to-martial-law-plan/

One spin that is being put forth is the assertion that "martial law" was just a figure of speech. This assertion is that Rep Michael Burgess was referring to martial law under the rules of Congress. Look at the passion of Rep Michael Burgess and see if he could possibly be responding to a "figure of speech", or some of the rules of Congress.
A part of this spin is that the idea that this martial law only applies to the Congress, not to the American people.
Would this really be important if this was true? This is like being told that you are not being killed, BUT you are just having your heart removed.
If you know nothing else about Roman history you know that Caesar left the Senate functioning as a semblance of the old Republic.
The important change was that the only function of the Senator was to do exactly as Caesar said to do.
Visit:

http://www.constitution.org/fed/federa47.htm
Notice this:
"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, selfappointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. "
James Madison

What do we have if the only function of the Senator is to do exactly as Caesar says to do?

Watch the rest of the videos on this message.

You will find a full legal definition including the specific executive orders and statutes,
which provide for martial law over the whole American people.

In this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl1VIhdpl4c&feature=related
You will see YET ANOTHER discussion (in the SENATE) about the plans to suspend the constitution. You will see quite a bit of obfuscation about this using the claim that this subject is "classified". Everything about the creation of tyranny is always "classified".

It is not at all ambiguous.

The Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and a few hundred Executive Orders that are detailed in the videos, were not passed by Pelosi. Pelosi simply invoked these. If you look and see who it was that put these things in place you will know that this has nothing to do with partisan politics. The enabling legislation is all in place.

Watch this one:
directive 51

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMs733gFg-I

I thought it was interesting to learn that Hitler had a law that said the same thing, and that Hitler's law was ALSO CALLED directive 51.

By the way: Most dictatorships are created as a "temporary emergency" measure.
Life is temporary.

Martial law is not a piece of paper.
Martial law is not an edict from on high.
Martial law is not possbile unless the people accept it.
Wake the people.
It is not enforceable, just because they say so.
They do not even have the courage to say so openly.
It is "classified" and only being said to the conspirators who are supposed to implement it. The plans to suspend the constitution have always been "classified"
as you can see in the video where Col. is questioned about it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl1VIhdpl4c&feature=related

You may have seen the "Representative John Haller" video that was produced by TheOnion News, (not c-span) and is a very realistic sounding spoof. The Onion is meant to be humor, but if you are not aware of it's logo (a stylized onion) you could believe it to be real, as they try to mirror the craziness that is happening in society.
A REAL video from the congressional cross examination of Col. Oliver North is provided here.

John,

  Great quote for times of tyranny indeed. I'm just reading Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "The First Circle" (a story of a special prison for scientists and other favored prisoners put to work on special communications projects for Stalin (the name is taken from the first or outermost circle of hell in Dante's "Inferno", where the conditions were comparatively lenient).

  Conditions in the United States may not (yet?) be so bleak as to match Solzhenitsyn's quote, but I'm sure there were times when Gao Zhisheng wishes he'd taken such a course of action. The following is the above-the-fold cover story of this week's Epoch Times, a free weekly paper strongly critical of the Chinese regime which can be found at newsstands in various locations in San Francisco as well as online. It is not an account to read without caution if you have a disposition toward sensitivity on reading of brutality, or have a weak stomach. Please spread it around and help the world see the face of government tyranny.

  Solidarity with all victims of oppression worldwide!

Love & Liberty,
        ((( starchild )))
