Subject: True Colors Shining Through -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Subscriber, A lot of people think it's exaggerating or being melodramatic to say that EVERY command from "government" is a threat of violence, backed by the ability and willingness to use deadly force. The main reason it doesn't look that way is because most people immediately cave in and comply with government demands ("laws"), so the violence backing it up is never seen. Imagine an armed car-jacker using the following defense when put on trial: "Hey, I didn't ever shoot anyone, or even hit anyone. I just said some words, and they all GAVE me their cars! I didn't use violence." If the words he used were "Give me your car or I'll blow your brains out," I think we'd all agree that that constitutes violence. The THREAT of force--stating that you WILL use violence if someone doesn't do what you say--is by itself a form of violence. No one with a brain would claim that car-jacking is perfectly fine if the crook has never ACTUALLY shot anyone (but only threatened to). Nonetheless, the violence inherent in ALL involuntary "taxation" goes unnoticed by most people, simply because in most cases, the violence never actually occurs--people "comply" in order to AVOID the nasty things threatened by the feds. However, for a reality check, it's helpful for people to be able to see, every once in a while, the true colors of so-called "tax collectors," and that only happens when someone resists. I was merely put in prison for a year, but even that is a very deceptive indicator of how vicious and violent the "law enforcers" truly are. I went along with being put in a cage in order to avoid the ultimate "trump card" behind EVERY "law" or EVERY "government": murder. If you doubt that, you need only look to an example of someone who DIDN'T go along with the federal terrorists. I'm speaking, of course, of Ed and Elaine Brown. Does anyone need machine-guns and tanks in order to ask nicely for a voluntary contribution? Are SWAT teams and sneak attacks required to collect "donations"? No. The IRS, the ATF, and all "tax collectors," are gangs of armed robbers, willing to murder those who do not give in. Again, we rarely SEE the true colors of these gangs of inhuman monsters, because almost everyone caves in quickly in order to AVOID having the really nasty stuff happen to them. I have heard that there are indications that the feds are escalating their "presence" near the Browns' house. Setting aside authoritarian euphemisms, what that means is that they are getting closer to using overt violence to either capture or kill the Browns. And since Ed Brown has made it clear that he won't go quietly, it's pretty darn obvious that if they go in, the feds have every intention of MURDERING him. For what? For not giving them a piece of his paycheck. Let's pretend for a minute that the Browns legally owed the "taxes" in question, and let's even pretend that the Browns THOUGHT they owed the tax (neither of which is true). Even if they said "Yeah, we owe it, but we're not paying," would that make it okay to MURDER them? In his brilliant writings, Lysander Spooner constantly described government agents as "bands of thieves and murderers," which to most people would seem a little harsh and over-the-top. But the Browns are performing the public service of PROVING that that is EXACTLY what authoritarian "law enforcers" are: people who forcibly rob people, and who are willing to commit MURDER against those who resist. Of course, if no one ever resists, we never get to actually SEE just how evil the parasite thugs really are. "The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it." [John Hay] Whatever someone thinks of Mr. Brown personally, or of any unorthodox tax-related beliefs, it is good for Americans to be forced to face the question: Is it okay to MURDER people for not paying the government's "protection" fees? If you say "yes," you deserve any level of enslavement and oppression "authority" can impose upon you. If you say "no," then ALL "taxation"--however many layers of euphemisms and platitudes the truth is buried under--is an intolerable evil. Some people are going as far as volunteering to use defensive force to try to prevent the murder of Mr. Brown. Amazingly, those people are then publicly demonized--and when possible, arrested--by the hypocritical, power-happy, murderous, machine-gun-toting fascists who are willing to COMMIT the murder. Mr. Brown is in his house, surrounded by a bunch of heavily-armed enemies, who are there with the obvious goal of capturing or killing him (knowing that the former is extremely unlikely), but when someone tries to come to the aide of Mr. Brown, to protect him from the aggressors, that person is arrested for being a nasty criminal. This shows just how insane the belief in "authority" can make people: armed robbery and murder are okay because they're (supposedly) "legal," but using defensive force against thieves and murderers is evil (if they call themselves "government"). Well, if that is the case, then I'm proud to be rooting for the evil side. Only the belief in "authority" can brainwash people so thoroughly that they can see the guy who is being ROBBED as the criminal, and the ROBBERS as the good guys. Such is the power of the most dangerous superstition. Not surprisingly, the thieves and murderers want things happening quietly, which is why they've cut off the Brown's phone lines and internet. Personally, I'd love to see a thousand eyes all around the place, always watching, always recording, always spreading the truth. If the U.S. Marshals, the New Hampshire Sheriffs, and any other "authorities" involved actually believe that THEY are the good guys, wouldn't they WANT lots of people watching? Wouldn't they WANT the whole thing to be open and public, so their nobility and righteousness would be plain for all to see? They are the criminals, and they know it. They just want the rest of the country to remain so indoctrinated and clueless that the Browns will look like the "criminals"--dead criminals, if "government" once again has its way (as it did in the cases of Waco, Ruby Ridge, Gordon Kahl, and many others most people have never heard of). Not surprisingly, most people don't really want to go up against the most powerful regime the world has ever known. But at least let he who has eyes SEE what is going on, and once again the "law enforcers" will be shown for what they are: as Lysander Spooner put it, "a band of thieves and murderers." Sincerely, Larken Rose http://www.larkenrose.com (P.S. I have no idea what the physical layout of the surrounding area is, but if Mr. Brown's house is visible from anyone else's property, I hope they have 24-hour video surveillance going-- infrared if possible.) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Charset: UTF8 Version: Hush 2.5 wpwEAQECAAYFAkbt/GgACgkQGmVFo/iGj33AogP+J5m96cUkMeuurc1ChJ+1asm/V24W tXJpRPPZMlXb+7TAJ6iuBrnt6TfM/JWL/6nI4Mtq9Sc+GFiJzleADbHMBkyjJ/LPydNZ iW8nHn2Hv7496w4YN+JPhGGclxJiTZyVXSeNN7m1zNRG9R69WwUpJdvklwCnKm+HC+Z4 0bViVrk= =yJGb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Looking for insurance?
