\"oprevolution\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The 13th Amendment to the Constitution abolished slavery. \u00a0This means that if you are a slave today, it’s either illegal, or you have voluntarily accepted your servitude.<\/p>\n

\n

Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their\u00a0jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You have a Constitutionally protected right to be free. If you aren’t free, then revolution is your duty.<\/p>\n

Many people believe that revolution requires that they lead a march, stand in front of a crowd with a bullhorn, or form a militia. They feel like it’s a job for the Alex Joneses, the Adam Kokeshes, \u00a0the James Wesley Rawleses, and the Bradley Mannings of the world.<\/p>\n

They’re wrong. \u00a0You don’t have to be a person with thousands of followers on Twitter and Facebook . \u00a0You don’t have to be a person with a military leadership position on \u00a0your resume. You need not get yourself arrested on the steps of the White House, got to prison forever for telling the truth about your unit in the army, or stare down a bunch of scary-looking thugs in jack boots.<\/p>\n

But you do have to do something.<\/p>\n

You can’t just sit there and complain unless you are really just another armchair Rambo.<\/p>\n

The way you lead your life every single day can be an act of revolution. \u00a0By refusing to concede your natural rights, quietly and resolutely, you are performing an act of revolution. Walking the walk doesn’t always require civil disobedience or militia membership (although those actions definitely have their places). \u00a0It requires your consistent determination not to be infringed upon.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter if you are a soccer mom from the suburbs, a college student in a dormitory, a church-going dad and husband, or a person who has found themselves homeless through the ongoing economic crisis – by living resolutely, you are performing an act of revolution.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong – we need the Alexes, the Adams, the militias, the Bradleys, and the JWRs. \u00a0We need the people who stand in protest. \u00a0We need those who expose wrongdoing. \u00a0We need the organizers, the shouters, the big personalities, the quiet strong types, and the leaders. But these are not the only ways to revolt. \u00a0If every single person was off organizing their own rally, there’d be no one left to march in it.<\/p>\n

What it is imperative upon us to do is to find our compass and follow it. \u00a0We must make ourselves immune to control by not needing what “they” hand out. \u00a0We have to be armored against the way everyone else lives and choose our own paths. \u00a0We must stubbornly refuse to participate in the hoop-jumping that is everyday life in North America. \u00a0By all of us who believe in liberty doing this, we form an army of stubborn non-participants in the status quo.<\/p>\n

Here’s an example. It’s a small thing, a battle that today only affected my daughter and me. \u00a0My daughter is not vaccinated. \u00a0She attends a public school where the kids must be vaccinated, or hoops must be jumped through. I filled out the initial forms stating that I had an objection of conscience to vaccines. \u00a0I was contacted by a representative of the school system who suggested that I sign instead the form that stated a religious objection, because that was “easier”. \u00a0I refused, because my objection is NOT one of religion, and I felt like that was a cop-out. I knew that I was within my rights to have an objection of conscience, and I felt that it was important to make a point that might make it easier for the next parent. \u00a0I was then told that I’d have to pay $25 and get a statement notarized to allow her exemption on my basis. \u00a0I said I’d be happy to get a statement notarized, but not at my expense. I pointed out that nowhere does our local law state that I should have to pay any money for my child to NOT do something. \u00a0Lo and behold, after 5 months of politely going back and forth, \u00a0being escalated through numerous different superiors of superiors in the school board and public health system, my daughter is still unvaccinated, I have not spent $25, and she was not suspended from school. \u00a0The point I’m making is not about vaccines, but about not stepping back from your rights, for your convenience or for the convenience of others. This requires that you read the relevant laws and understand them. \u00a0It requires a certain degree of persistence and a willingness to be a pain in the butt.<\/p>\n

There are valid reasons for revolution.<\/h2>\n

One of the benchmarks of tyranny is the dizzying arrays of laws on the books, with more and more added every single day. \u00a0It is humanly impossible not to break multiple laws every single day. \u00a0Regulations are\u00a0revenue builders and\/or control mechanisms. If the “authorities” can ALWAYS find a law that you’ve broken, then they can ALWAYS give a “reason” for punishing you. \u00a0Punishment might include incarceration, hefty fines, or the removal of some privilege (like taking away your driver’s license or not allowing your child to go to school).<\/p>\n

\n

If the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?<\/p>\n

~ James Madison, Federalist Papers 62<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The police state is growing at a dizzying rate<\/a>, and often the news makes it look like we live in Nazi Germany. It is now or never. \u00a0Like cockroaches, “they” – the thugs in jackboots and their masters – multiply in the dark, and will soon overtake us if we don’t put a stop to it right now. \u00a0They want to take our guns because that would make our resistance more difficult. \u00a0They keep buying up ammo and now have more than enough to kill every man, woman, and child in America multiple times. The NDAA means that any person can be indefinitely detained. There has been a sustained attack on the Bill of Rights and one by one our rights are being submerged beneath the desires of those who would demand our submission.<\/p>\n

How can you be an everyday revolutionary?<\/h2>\n

The most revolutionary act is to be self-sufficient and in need of nothing that the government can provide for you in exchange for some small liberty. \u00a0When there is nothing that you require enough to submit, then bullying you becomes much more difficult.<\/p>\n
