There would never be a 'large' scale tax revolt in America, so they don't have to worry. I mean, really think about it for a moment. Think about what it would take to get enough people willing to stay the course. Then think about how many of those soccer mom and corporate shark types are actually going to stand tall when the pressure mounts. Think about the conversations at the dinner table with the wife giving 'the look'. There will never be a 'large' scale tax revolt in America, not enough peons are willing to give up what they have to ensure their children don't suffer. That is the crucial difference in now vs then. Back then, we would have been willing to sacrifice all we had to ensure future generations didn't have to. Now... Now we all want to have our cake and eat it to. Nobody would be willing to give up all their precious little creature comforts long enough to enact change. Face it. Change takes time, time our populace is no longer patient enough to endure. So I'll say a final time. There will never be a 'large' scale tax revolt in America. And that my friend, is truly sad. Not really due to the tax angle, but more in the fact that we've been stripped of our passion. |

All revoutions and revolts are carefully planned and well-organized; with well defined leaders and intellectuals who can explain the problem to the masses. Remember Rule Number One: The masses cannot think; they can only respond to indoctrination / propaganda. So before there are any revolts or revolutions; you would need organization and leadership. There is not a single person or organization at the moment who speaks for the American citizen; all your politicians serve the Enemies of the American people. |

You would be stunned how many Antebellum South slaves were very happy with their masters; and genuinely opposed to the abolition of slavery. Freedom is very hard; it takes courage and reliance on oneself. Slavery is easy; all it requires is dependence upon and fidelity to some master. |

There are few things that can awaken the American now. Too fluoridated, medicated, and subjugated. Bread and circus are especially effective on those inundated with pharmakeia. It will take an act of Yahweh to wake these people up now. Judgment and revival. I expect only a small remnant of this people will be left before the end of this age. Isaiah 17:6 “Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.” Listen for the shofar ;), be ready to flee. When the Rapture fails you, turn your heart to the Greater Exodus, remember again Egypt and how the Children were in her midst when El Elyon revealed His judgment. Remember how He lead His out of that land. Who are the Americans, anyways? Who are these people that once took up the cross and carried it to nearly every corner of the Earth? Who once blessed the nations that suffered from natural disasters and disease? The Master came for the ones (ten) that were lost, didn't He? He said they'd hear His voice, and they did. Anyhow, back to sleep with you, 'til the time of awakening, when these words should have meaning and live. ![]() "Your cause is lost, I'll find my way." |
