Subject: FW: Fwd: [Brigade] Spectatorship vs Participation Date: Mon, 17 Jun 96 10:51:00 EST Thought this was an excellent basic overview of the situation we face in our country, as well as the world, today. ***RSS*** --------------------- From: lmuller@iquest.com (Linda Muller) Reply-to: brigade@iquest.com Date: 96-06-15 16:02:06 EDT Date: Thu, 13 Jun 1996 16:25:33 -0600 From: comminc@fortnet.org (Committee to Restore the Constitution) Subject: Spectatorship vs Participation Revolutionaries in government have created economic chaos, shortages in food and fuel, confiscatory taxation, a crisis in education, the threat of war and other diversions to condition Americans for "The New World Order". The technique is as old as politics itself. It is the Hegelian principle of bringing about change in a three-step process: Thesis, Antithesis and Synthesis. The first step (thesis) is to create a problem. The second step (antithesis) is to generate opposition to the problem (fear, panic, hysteria). The third step (synthesis) is to offer THE solution to the problem created in step one - change which would have been impossible to impose on the people without the proper psychological conditioning achieved in steps one and two. Applying the Hegelian principle, and irresistible financial influence, concealed mattoids seek to dismantle social and political structures by which free men govern themselves - ancient landmarks erected at great cost in blood and treasure. Their objective is to emasculate sovereign states, merge nations under universal government, contralize economic powers, and control the world's people and resources. THE MOST SECRET SCIENCE (1984) by Archibald E Roberts, LtCol, AUS, retired (199 pages, Library of Congress Card #84-70100) O SPECTATORSHIP vs PARTICIPATION The political reality of today is the fact that after fifty years of 'fighting communism' the great array of anticommunists have failed to deter the rising tide of revolution. Patriotic organizations still have no real strategy for effective action because of the failure to recognize the obvious; the real enemy of the people lurks in New York and Washington, DC. Conservative leaders must come to realize that a mattoid 'elite' has seized control of policy-making and conflict management in the United States. International financiers and industrialists, in secret alliance with revolutionary forces, are merging America and Soviet societies under a master plan of infiltration, subversion and rebellion. General reaction of the muzzled majority to increasing exploitation and oppression has been a defense of the status quo. Yet, it must be clear that a political system perpetually on the defensive is doomed to ultimate defeat. Somewhere, somehow, we must counterattack! The problem might be considered as basically one of inducing movement and action. Relatively few people in America are pro-communist, or even socialists. Still, revolutionaries in government retain an iron grip on American domestic and foreign policy, manipulating economic, social and political disciplines to expand their dream of world empire at the expense of the Republic. Meanwhile, the vast majority of the people, both captives and targets, remain relatively passive. This passivity is not accidental. World government conflict managers have long realized the significance of the vast gulf between spectators and participants. Their whole strategy is geared to maximize the victim's spectatorship and minimize his participation in the struggle. That principle was shown in South Vietnam. It is estimated that out of every hundred people in rural areas, twenty were actively aiding the Communist Viet Cong, forty were passively anti-communist, and forty were neutral.That active twenty was enough to turn the country into a major battlefield leading to ultimate defeat of American forces - aided and abetted, of course, by concealed conflict managers in New York and Washington. Conservative attempts to influence the spectator-participant ratio have been mainly confined to vague educational programs, insipid protest, and generalized talk - none of which has been able to inspire much favorable movement. Indeed, many conservative organizations obviously regard the national crisis as a popularity contest, not a war for survival. In contrast, fear has been the mattoid's chief weapon; economic, political and social coercion, for maximizing passivity and spectatorship. Effective though it is, oppression is a two-edged weapon. Its application generates potential reaction. These suppressed reactions can explode with sudden violence. Channeling anger and frustration into constructive action is the task of knowledgeable Americans everywhere. The individual can do nothing to protect himself and his family until he is armed with knowledge and a plan of action. Defeat of the mattoids now leading America into the twilight zone of national disaster demands intelligent acceptance of the facts behind the crisis. And, it requires a courageous marshalling of resources, and the commitment of motivated citizens who will take whatever action is necessary to reverse the mindless march toward dictatorship. We have clearly lost control of our government. The solution to economic chaos, social rebellion, and political revolution is planned action at the county level of government to force the respective state legislatures to protect the lives and property of the people. Political theorizing and personal knowledge of the conspiracy must be translated into practical plans and implemented at a level of government which the individual can effectively influence. American citizens, if they are to escape the socialist society planned for them, must bring their authority to bear at the point of jurisdictional decision: County and State government. No amount of agonizing or protest to a distant congressman will change the design of the mattoids who seek to overthrow the Constitution and reduce Americans to the status of economic serfs on the land which once was theirs. Only the individual can demand that his County official act to defend and preserve Life, Liberty and Property. He must do this by a positive act, by challenging 'the secret government of monetary power' at its weakest point - the County. Although all sovereignty originates from the State, the states delegated a few of their powers to their common agents in Washington. However, the vast governmental powers that touch our lives every day are placed in the hands of County Governments, that are closest to the people. One historian who has commented on the point is R. J. Rushdoony, whose book, The Nature of the American System, first published in 1965, has an analysis of the County in early American history. Important as the States are, they are not the basic unit of the American system. The basic unit is clearly and without question the COUNTY, said Rushdoony. "Significantly, one of the first steps toward independence was taken by Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, May 31, 1775, in order to prevent a legal vacuum ....... First, the PROPERTY TAX remained in the hands of the county, which early established its jurisdiction. The people of an area thus controlled their tax assessor and their county supervisors, so that the taxing power was not beyond their jurisdiction. When the power to tax leaves the county, tyranny will then begin in the United States. Socialism or communism will be only a step away. The people of a county will be helpless as their property is taxed to the point of expropriation...... Second, CRIMINAL LAW was and is county law in essence. That was an important safeguard against tyranny and against the political use of criminal law. Law enforcement officers, including judges, were and are officers of the county, in the main, or of its constituent units. As T. Robert Ingram has pointed out, not too many years ago executions were also held at the county seat. Police power and criminal law are thus matters of local jurisdiction in the American system. The third, CIVIL LAW, is also county law to a great degree, enforced by local courts and by locally elected officials. The American citizen is thus for the most part under county government. His basic instruments of civil government are local, residing in the county, and the county is his historic line of defense against the encroachments of state and federal governments. In early America, town and county elections were properly regarded as more important than state and federal elections, and property qualifications were strict on the local level."
