"What we need now is a major terrorist attack, to distract Obama and his Posse from their domestic scorched earth campaign."I guess that's how much what he's doing scares me for what's left of our Republic and the tattered remains of our Constitution. Don't blame me. It was an entirely unbidden thought.

Yes, it is a weak thought.
ReplyDeleteI have a strong thought for you:
Census Activism. Easy to do and powerful repercussions.
Wait...What is that? Don't go away without EXPLAINING!!
ReplyDeleteHeh. That little radio program I posted about, The Plan, got me to thinking and linking and researching.
ReplyDeleteIt's time to give up on all the rhetoric about speech and perception and do something dynamically simple and devastating to the Machine while having no legal barriers. But the idea needs to catch hold and I need to do a bit more research.
It seems to me, that you can be whatever ethnic/racial group you wish nowadays. Rules changed about one's elegibility in order to accommodate more minorities. The gov knows that the moderates and republicans will answer truthfully every time, so they depend on our complicity to abet the disengenous census takers (community organizers, as I'm coming to find out) who fill in whatever is necessary to win their district.
I'm thinking a very, extrememly powerful agent like the census is also extremely vulnerable to civil disobedience in the most benign way imaginable: got a "dreamcather" in your bedroom? You're a Native American! (Ward Churchill, anyone?)
Take the liberties of their audacity and use them against them.
The short version: LIE on the Census. But get everyone to do it. The only people it hurts is politicians who want to manipulate the public cash flow. Kill the Beast of the Census!!
I am, like, 1/16th American Indian, according to family legend.
ReplyDeleteMy last name confuses Mexicans into thinking I speak their language.
My sister is convinced that the part of Italy from which half of my family hails was conquered and populated by Moors.
One of the possible family crests is a field of red with three African heads in profile.
I have a pretty wide selection of "truths" to choose from, seems to me.
