PJ Media – by Roger L SimonAs we approach July 4, 2013, is America in a pre-revolutionary state? Are we headed for a Tahrir Square of our own with the attendant mammoth social turmoil, possibly even violence.
Could it happen here?
We are two-thirds of the way into the most incompetent presidency in our history. People everywhere are fed up. Even many of the so-called liberals who propelled Barack Obama into office have stopped defending him in the face of an unprecedented number of scandals coming at us one after the other like hideous monsters in some non-stop computer game.
And now looming is the monster of monsters, ObamaCare, the healthcare reform almost no one wanted and fewer understood.
It will be administered by the Internal Revenue Service, an organization that has been revealed to be a kind of post-modern American Gestapo, asking not just to examine our accounting books but the books we read. What could be more totalitarian than that?
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal warns the costs of ObamaCare are close to tripling what were promised, and the number of doctors in our country is rapidly diminishing. No more “My son, the doctor!” It doesn’t pay.
And young people most of all will not be able to afford escalating health insurance costs and will end up paying the fine to the IRS, simultaneously bankrupting the health system and enhancing the brutal power of the IRS — all this while unemployment numbers remain near historical highs.
No one knows how many have given up looking for work while crony capitalist friends of the administration enrich themselves on mythological clean-energy projects.
In fact, everywhere we look on this July Fourth sees a great civilization in decline. And much of that decline can be laid at the foot of the incumbent. Especially his own people, African Americans, have suffered. Their unemployment numbers are catastrophic, their real needs ignored while hustlers like Sharpton, Jackson, and, sadly, even the president fan the flames of non-existent racism.
Tahrir Square anyone?
Ironically, if our society enters a revolutionary phase, liberals will find themselves in the role of the Islamists, defending a shopworn and reactionary ideology on religious grounds, because it is only their faith that holds their ideas together at this point.
The facts of the American decline tell us otherwise. We don’t need the contempt of Vladimir Putin to remind us how bad things are and that the seeming result of the end of the Cold War is that American presidents are now mocked by the second coming of the KGB (not that it was ever gone).
We all know the famous Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times!
We certainly are, and I am of two minds about it. Like so many Americans, I have lived a comfortable, privileged life, vastly so compared to most of human history.
But I am filled with foreboding about what’s to come, indeed about what is already here. When I look at the masses swarming in Tahrir Square, I am at once repelled and attracted, repelled because, to be honest, I find their culture more than a bit crazy, but attracted because I know something is seriously wrong, not just in Egypt but in the USA.

If the American people knew the truth about 9/11, America would be in full scale insurrection.
Exactly. And if they knew, or more correctly, were willing to acknowledge it, along with the thousands of other big lies that have been told to them. Right now it’s just mass denial and cognitive dissonance, both individually and collectively, on a scale almost incomprehensible, something beyond bizarre from the outermost reaches of the Twlight Zone.
I’ve told people over and over. There is no way we’ll get out of this nighmare unless and until every American is willing to acknowledge as well as discuss the truths about every one of these monstrous lies.
Until that day comes, we’re just circling the drain…
Read my comment below as to what I think.
at the “July 2, 2013 at 10:53 am” mark.
You’re both right. (Han Solo & Constable) 9-11 is still the mother of all issues, because knowing the truth of 9-11 also forces someone to understand that everything in the Zionist media is a lie. It opens the door to the rabbit hole that everyone needs to pass through, and once they’ve made it, they’re on our side forever.
9-11 Truth is the first crucial step people need to take before they can wake up to reality. Video of the collapse of WTC7 combined with Larry Silverstein’s admission that the building was “pulled”** usually works instantly. I applaud the two of you, and anyone who works for the 9-11 Truth movement.
** this can be found in a PBS special titled “America Rebuilds”.
If every American would know the truth about 9/11, Oklahoma bombing false flag, sandy hook, Boston marathon, the truth about all wars US did. This country would awake over night and otherfrew all government instant.
Until media is lying it will never happen.
Even if the media told the truth, the people would still do nothing and go back to their idiotboxes. That’s how stupid they are. Think of the movie, “Idiocracy”. That’s where the majority of American people, especially young people, are at these days.
Ah, a moment of clairity in this discussion.
With so many people out of work and friends & family of those employeed at the time the usurper was re-elected it is evident that a massive amount of Americans simply are not willing to do a darn thing for themselves or their family none the less their nation.
Likely the end of this year will see the end of unemployment extensions, the sequestor cuts (32.5%) to benefits, lowering the weekly & total amount payable, start 072813 for all extensions.
What will happen when thousands of people have to turn to welfare for an even lessor pittance? Gov is not seeking to cut corruption, cronyism now gov waste as reducing/cutting benefits to people that are not unable to find a job because of the dumb azz gov regulations and gov stranglations of businesses (obviously not larger or corperations).
As for the corrupt America hating usurper & accomplices…
The usurper could cut a person in half on live TV and still receive over 30% of the vote/support.
Look at hillary, she is a fav of the naive libs.
People don’t care about what is going on as long as they get some freebies.
Boiling frog is a solid metaphor yet grossly understates the severity of the dire situation America is facing.
Yep.
Fines for NOT having their, or any insurance ????
If I could afford insurance I would have it !
FINES ? Let’s see them try to collect !
That WILL start a war with most everyone.
No one can afford the fines, more or less the insurance.
There’s going to be a lot of civil unrest over this one ….
which will lead to the final straw.
This is what they could be gearing up for, if the economic
crash doesn’t hit first. For it’s supposed to kick in, fully,
in 2014….That’s six months away.
That’s why they want the guns so bad.
We the people, of the United States of America, do declare our criminal government null and void of any authority. Those still upholding their oath to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, are asked to arrest everyone currently involved in any aspect of government and jailed until trial. We the people also ask that Wall Street be shut down and all assets be frozen. All bankers and traders to be arrested on the spot. We can use those FEMA camps as holding areas for those awaiting trial. A new bulletproof electoral system must be agreed upon so that the true will of the people is heard. Anyone caught cheating, bribing, or gaming the system, their punishment will be death. The people ask that the MSM be dismantled and charges brought against the media whores. Next, We the people ask that all corporations, and their boards, be put on trial for crimes against the American people. All police and military, including all the spy agencies, be put on trial and a guilty verdict will be a death sentence. Just some wishful thinking of the aftermath of retaking our republic.
Hell yeah! I’m with you 100% on that one, Millard.
I’ll second this motion! I move for a vote.

Hey Steve, I watched the video you posted and a couple comments came up right on the screen that said, “Hey, I’m Russian” and “I’m with you guys”. There was a third comment that I can’t recall but did you see those comments? These comments came up after Charlie mentioned the Russians in the video and the comments were embedded in the video I watched.
Hey Millard,The posters handle is “classicknuckles” who I believe has rooskie blood and was just stating it in the enbed,remember when this song came out we were “afraid of them eveel rooskies”,and now its east asia or eurasia or mooslums,I forget who the “enemy ” is this week but its not the russians——yet ol putin putin stands like a man and you know america dont attack those able to defend themselves.
Steve
Hey NC, maybe we should start our own FTTWR 2nd Declaration of Independence with suggestions submitted to the comment section. WE have some very knowledgeable and well versed people on this site that I believe could put together and excellent Declaration. Just a thought. We would all be delegates to the Continental Congress of We the People!
Sounds good, but we already have a Declaration of Independence that can apply to the exact same situation today. Nothing has changed since then. That’s why it’s so hard to setup another Declaration of Independence because nothing has changed.
Again, we don’t need to come up with or pass any new laws. We need to enforce the ones that we have. No need to create anything new. It’s all about enforcing our existing rights that we already have. That’s what we need to do.
Yeah I agree NC, maybe just a demand by WE the People to enforce our laws but I do believe there are factors that need to be addressed that our Founding Fathers could not have foreseen.
Hey Millard,I think they addressed this issue with their condemnation of failure by “england” to acknowledge REDRESS OF GRIEVENCES,which is taking place today through IGNORING OUR PETITIONS, and a 1000 other tiny cuts to our freedoms.If you read the Declaration it goes into great detail of the slights and usurptions that “broke the camels back” as in they ignored the soapbox,tampered with the ballot box which only leaves the BULLET box standing between us and total enslavement.Would you let your pet dog ORDER you around,thats all our public servants amount too and they are off their chains and foaming at the mouthlike a rabid mad dog that must be shot to save the CHILDREN(great excuse LOL)
Steve
Yep, Steve. You are right. I think we need a Redress of Grievances.
Future generations need to know all that we have done today to prevent war from happening, much like they did before the Revolutionary War, and that in the end, we were backed into a corner and had no choice but to take up arms and revolt.
Yea, there may be some things here and there that need tweaking, but I think the overall document is actually fine just the way it is.
I agree Steve an NC, and I also agree that we American Nationals have been backed into a corner, have already been wounded by this criminal cabal, and are about to explode with a vengeance the world has never seen. Once the republic has been restored, the world better know this, we will not rest until every last one involved in this criminal conspiracy is brought to justice.
Amen to that, Millard!
🙂 thats right NC 🙂
Here NC, you can tweak it with this:

The Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, Constitution and this “Timely World Declaration” and I think it’s all covered.
Over the Years, since 1776, The 4th of July, the original day of national protest against tyranny, lost its meaning through the haze of barbecue and fireworks smoke. With the popular revelation by Snowden of Orwell’s dystopia made manifest, perhaps a renewal of the day’s true meaning will be realized with the numerous protests throughout the nation on the 4th to support the 4th (Amendment).
An upside down American flag is a recognized signal of distress but is better reserved for boating.
I suggest a new way of expressing a country going the wrong way, or needs turning around, would be to fly the flag reversed, not upside down, but switched horizontally attached to the pole along the stripes side with the star field hanging free.
Only when the republic has been restored, will the flag be reversed.
One way to wave the flag and lodge a protest at the same time this 4th.
Let the spirit of ’76 be revived to displace the current dispirit of ’84.
LF – The Second Founding Society
Logan ,Heres a thought How about if we quit flying the “american” flags that are made in CHINA<as far as I know there is just one small flag maker left in america all others that they wave ever so proudly( tear in eye, hand over heart ohh raa) are MADE IN CHINA
