Driving Us To Violence

Ray Thomas


Cuttin' through the Bull #75

 

One of the things I've noticed lately is that the government, at all levels, seems to be going out of its way to do things that enrage the citizens. Things that if these citizens have a backbone, would cause them to rebel. Almost the way King George kept on doing things to enrage the colonists until they rebelled. Only it didn't turn out the way King George planned. Is the idea to push us so hard that we'll inevitably fight back so they can use the army to "crush us?" It's a known fact that the first people to rebel will be those most likely to rebel. It's an efficient way to get those people to "reveal themselves" so they can be "taken out." Let's look at a few of their outrages:

  • Child Protection: They claim that child abuse is "in crisis." That "reports" of child abuse have increased at an "alarming rate" and that "extreme measures" are necessary to combat it. Measures that violate the Constitution and rape the rights of parents. They routinely snatch children from loving parents, force the parents to "jump through many hoops" in an effort to satisfy the child protectors so they can get their children back. But they most likely have lost them forever, especially if they don't have the resources to hire lawyers and expert witnesses and fight them properly.
  • There are several things nobody knows, or will not admit. First, that in every case, the child protectors will try to keep the children, even if no charges can be proven against the parents, and put them up for adoption, thereby permanently severing the ties between parent and child. They get large fees from the feds for every day those children are in their custody and $4,500 to $6,000 for each adoption. Second, that 80% to 90% of those "child abuse reports" just aren't true (by their own figures). But they do get lots of "reports" because they advertise for them. They have literally hundreds of "hot lines" where people can call in and make a "report" of child abuse that is totally anonymous.

    That's right: forget about the constitutional right to "confront your accuser." All it takes is an anonymous "report" to cause the child protectors to come in and ruin your life and in the end, probably destroy it. The "Good Samaritan Laws" completely protect not only the person doing the "reporting," but also everybody connected with the child protectors from any kind of "legal" retaliation, even if the report or actions of the social workers can be shown to be lies and overstepping of their authority, they usually cannot be sued. They have it all their own way, set up to keep us from being able to properly oppose them.

    Part of their "advertising involves teaching your children in school that if they ever "don't like what their parents are doing, all they have to do is put in a child abuse "report" and their parents will be "taken care of." Talk about destroying parental authority! The kids don't understand how devastating this can be to their family until it's too late. If they later recant, they are simply not believed.

    What really amazes me is the fact that almost nobody pulls a "going postal" event on a child protector office. They're hurting families "where they live" in one of the most basic of things: the love between a parent and child. Yet nobody commits violence against them. Postal workers have gotten so angry over working conditions, for Heaven's sake that they've gone into their workplace with guns and killed people. It even happened one time in a state government office. So why does nobody go into a child protector office and kill people? It could be that while doping up children to make them mind, they're also forcing parents to be doped, as well. There is a rising effort in child abuse cases to force parents to be drugged, since their actions in response to having their family destroyed sometimes causes people to "diagnose" them as "out of control."

    Whatever the reason, they can't keep it under control much longer, because people are reaching their limit. And maybe that's the plan, with social workers being the "cannon fodder" to force government retaliation.

  • "Storm Trooper" Raids: It used to be that if the police wanted to arrest you, they knocked on your door, showed you the warrant, and took you into custody. No one got hurt (as a rule). Today, they get out their "jack-boots" and burst into your home or business screaming with way too many cops, carrying "assault rifles" and "flash-bang grenades," If you try to defend yourself, they often just "fill you full of lead." Many times they find, after they've killed somebody, that they were at the wrong address (again, more and more often)! That the person they killed was completely innocent and had no reason to believe it was cops bursting into his/her home in such a fashion so they tried to defend their home and family. In one case in Denver a cop said: "If Mena had not had a gun, he'd still be alive." So today, it's a crime to try to defend your home when people you don't know are cops invade your home? Ismael Mena was executed for "contempt of cop." He was otherwise innocent, even though they tried to demonize him.

    Such raids are happening with increasing frequency all over the country, and the "causes" are becoming more and more trivial. A recent raid involved an alleged "pyramid scheme" scam. In such raids, cops are becoming more and more "trigger-happy," killing more and more innocent people. If that isn't a recipe for retaliatory violence from the citizens, I don't know what is.

  • Land Grabs: In Sandpoint, Idaho recently, cops tricked JoAnn McGuckin into going with them to "get some groceries." While they had her off her property, they arrested her for imagined child abuse and put her in jail while they went after her children. The idea was to get her and the children off their land, which had previously been taken and sold for a small tax bill. The bill was about $8,000 and the property was worth $500,000. They took it and disposed of it in such a way that the county kept the $45,000 left over after the taxes were paid instead of having to give that money to her.

    The only reason we even know about it is that the kids held the cops at bay for five days. That usually just doesn't happen. When they come for your kids, they just take them and the news media usually knows nothing about it (and doesn't care). They put a $100,000 bail on her to keep her out of it. The evidence of that is that after they finally got her kids off the property, they reduced the charges and released her on her own recognizance without conditions. They still have the kids and I'm confident that they'll ultimately be adopted out.

    Land grabs such as this, like the "storm-trooper raids," are happening more and more often. Sometimes it is a "naked grab" and other times it is simply creating conditions that destroy the value of the land.

  • Klamath Falls, Oregon: In this case, the feds didn't just grab the land. They destroyed the value of the land, along with the economy of an entire area of the country by shutting off irrigation water to all the 1,400 farmers in the Klamath Valley. This destroyed the entire farming industry in that area. Farmers are rebelling and have several times turned the water back on. When the feds came in and guarded the "headgate controls," the farmers dug a ditch and routed the water around it. What the feds will do about that, I don't know.

    I do know that many farmers were "enticed" into moving there to farm by promises of water rights "in perpetuity." Now that they have invested their money and their lives there, the government has destroyed them. The "excuse" is to "save" a "garbage fish." In other words, the government has taken the position that a fish is more important than humans and that destroying the livelihood of thousands of farmers and the economy of an entire area is more important.

  • Waco: A lot has been written about this fiasco. It may have been the "opening gun" in the campaign of the power seekers to push us to violence. It was all about a small thing and did not warrant the massive "storm-trooper" tactics the government used there. Especially since they could have "taken" David Koresh any time while he was visiting in town. But it was done in such a way that guaranteed a violent response and caused the deaths of several feds ("cannon fodder") and almost 100 Branch Davidians including many of the children the government, and Janet Reno claim to want to "protect." According to the "Oklahoma Bomber," this is the catalyst for his actions in blowing up the federal building there.

  • Ruby Ridge: I can't even think about this outrage without getting mad. Here, they hid in the woods until Randy Weaver and his family dog discovered them. Then they killed the dog (later driving over his body several times) and laid siege to Weaver's home, ultimately wounding his son and killing his wife with their infant in her arms by shooting her through a door from hiding. Again, over a small thing that didn't warrant such a response. The way they did it makes it look like they planned it that way. Lon Horiuchi, the man who killed her from hiding, has still to be "brought to justice" and may never be.

I could go on and on, citing outrage after outrage, but I won't. You'd soon get bored. Which is what the power seekers are counting on as they continually "increase the ante" by doing things like this more and more often until something "Snaps." They want people to "be bored" by such things so they won't do anything about it until the number of those who have suffered these abuses "rise up in righteous anger" and commit violence, as happened in Oklahoma, so they can make ever more restrictive laws and even send in the army to "crush" any opposition without the rest of us getting excited. They're both pushing those who are nearer to violence into "jumping off the deep end" and "desensitizing" the rest of us so they won't have to fight the entire populace. After they've gotten rid of those who would be the first to get violent over their outrages, it'll be easier to control the rest because they'll have the "example" of what happened to the people they "crushed."

That's the way dictators work. Make an "example" of the most violent to use in "cowing" the rest, who have become "bored" about constantly hearing of one outrage or another somewhere else. By the time the power seekers get to them, it will be too late. For them.
