Let's Talk Impeachment, NOT Violent Revolution
http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2008/02/lets-talk-impeachment-not-violent.html
Apparently, a number of articles and groups are discussing -- in one way or another -- violent revolution. See, for example, this essay.
Prominent impeachment activists argue that impeachment, rather than violent revolution, is the appropriate mechanism built into the Constitution to fight tyranny.
But some people respond that Congress won't impeach, and so that mechanism is not available. Specifically, House leader Pelosi has said "impeachment is off the table", Judiciary Committee chairman John Conyers won't take action, and the Congress as a whole simply won't start impeachment proceedings. So they argue that with impeachment unavailable, the only option left is violence.
But I think that argument is missing a very important point.
Nixon said he didn't care what the American people thought. He said that -- no matter what the public did or said -- he was going to escalate the war in Vietnam. Nixon actually planned to drop a nuclear bomb on Vietnam. However, a well-known biographer says that he backed off when hundreds of thousands of people turned out in Washington, D.C. to protest an escalation of the war.
No matter how subservient Congress and the corporate media are, they could not ignore a peaceful sit-in surrounding Capitol Hill. A non-violent action of that size, and totally surrounding Congress, simply could not be ignored.
Therefore, why is anyone talking about violent revolution when we haven't tried smart, creative forms of mass action demanding impeachment?
I am not naive. I understand that there are arguments against non-violence. However, I believe so strongly in non-violence that I am committed to giving it every possible chance to succeed.
Please VOTE UP AT REDDIT.

They want us to get violent
So that they can implement Rex 84 and the like. What better excuse for Total Martial Law.
HomeGrown Revolutionaries / Terrorists will probably bring about Patriot Act 666.
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal. We have a right to defend ourselves physically but going on the offense with guns is necessarily the best of solutions.
Civil Resistance / Disobedience and the Power of We The People is a far far more effective tool than any combination of M-16s.
However I have a realistic fear that the Union of the States is more precarious and fragile than people realize. Disenchantment with the Federal Government may lead to secession from some states.
The potential for Civil War due to sheer hubris by the NWO forces in implementing their tyranny is very real.
Americans are not going to go quietly into the night, be marched into concentration camps and be domesticated into cattle and slaughtered. Not the people that I know any way.
911 was a strategic "mistake". An act of sheer stupidity by the forces of what is best described as the IllumiNazis - an ancient death cult reveling and glorifying in death and the power of death. They are not merely satisfied with Power,Sex and Money but in having "God-like" powers over nations, cultures - controlling our destiny.
They made 1 major mistake. It was too obvious.
Too many people are waking up and even internally there are too many divisions. The fact that we have not had another 911 (long overdue - which is good) and a war with Iran (which Bush-Cheney & Co) would love to have ,is a clear indicator of the deep divisions within their own death cult.
They will most probably try again. Perhaps attempt a financial melt-down.
We should draw our strength from a long history of Liberty, Justice and a belief in a Higher Purpose in our lives.
Our destiny is in our hands.
Not theirs.
Let us never fall for the trap to give them an EXCUSE to initiate Martial Law.
The Pen IS mightier than the sword.
Though we may need the be prepared to use the sword to defend our families and ourselves - Peaceful ACTIVE RESISTANCE THE LIKES THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN BEFORE CAN SHATTER THE VERY FOUNDATIONS THAT THIS PSYCHOPATHS STAND ON.
We are going to win in the end.
But the journey will be long and ardous.
There is another Superpower on this Earth.
Never underestimate of what we can do TOGETHER.
The authority of We The People is not to be taken lightly once it is mobilized.

The CONSTITUTION is NOT going to "collapse" into pulverized dust no matter how much thermate/explosives or planes they throw at it
Thanks, GW. A non-violent or "velvet" revolution has the best
chance for success in our country. However, this would mean not just surrounding federal buildings such as the Capital, White House, and Supreme Court, but actually (non-violently) breaking in and physically occupying them. This would require a strong belief among our revolutionaries that these buildings do not belong to the government, but to us, and we the people are rightfully repossessing them. Of course to be successful, this would require ten of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of patriots prepared to go to jail (or worse-internment camps) in order to accomplish this, but it can be done.
By the way, don't call yourself naive. Naive is used as a euphemism for "stupid" by small-minded people can't otherwise refute another's argument. Personally, I take insult at being called naive (and I tell them so).
Deaf ears
The admin and naysayers of 911 Blogger do not support impeachment.
You are wasting your breath here, at LC and Pilots for 911 Truth.
ETA: AfterDowningStreet.org is backing impeachment.
You can get the latest on what's happening and what you can do.
Thank you GW

Be very alert about people who talk, or even worse, write, publicly about using violent means .
They are either incredibly stupid or they are provocateurs on a mission for the man.
