"Pretty dangerous rattling around those keys on the keyboard are ya? " LOL. This thing has LOTS of buttons, so many in fact I can't even find the "any" key. I was ranting about people who want to tell people to "peddle" elsewhere, or stop posting bullshit. Who died and made them boss ? Since that is done, perhaps I should comment further on the topic. The worst thing I've ever seen, well it really did sound about like the Jerry Springer show. If this was a common law court here I would hope that people would be able to keep quiet better than that. Also if that incident would've happened here in the land of the "free" those officers would have guns. Not that they would've mowed down everyone in the room, they would've called in a SWAT team. The one apparent leader did call for silence, and then he cited actual law (I think), citing the Magna Carta. The officers are not arbiters of the law. Here, if they want you they will get you. And after my experience with th common law court here, I wonder why the guy was getting arrested. He may have robbed a bunch of people for all we know. People who believe and practice this are not morally superior as a whole, from what I've seen. There is nothing wrong with having these meetings and fighting the steamroller of the justus system. However, by the tenets of almost any semi-modern law, the Magna Carta is actually null and void if I understand it correctly. It was signed under threat, duress or coersion. What's more it was not written for or by the commoner. That doesn't nullify organic law, which I don't understand fully but it comes down to we the People are the final arbiters. While true, it's a bit hard to enforce in the shadow of the extreme power of governments. I can't fault them for trying, but I don't agree with their methods. I also believe that unsuccessful attacks leave one's enemy stronger, or at least more adept at the battle. For example, the common law folk here took to levying liens against judges. There was a time when some officials tried to buy a house or something and these liens were found, which queered a few deals. It was simple to put a stop to it. They adapted, made changes in their law to suit them and you don't hear about this sort of thing anymore. In a game such as this, winners do not repeatedly smack and smack. They lay in wait at a vantage point, laying a form of trap. The opponent is off balance, and vulnerable. This is the kind of thinking needed. Publicity is not good. People taking the power back is a fine notion, but I don't see it working in actual practice. This is a republic, as disguised as it may be. The alternative is mob rule. With the shouting in the video, I think that qualifies as a mob. We are at the point in history when there are alot of people pissed off, and for good reason. Tyrants run rampant, and we must resist because conforming is futile. Take any issue and find where rights of personal responsibility and choice have not been eroded. I can't find one. Once a government become commercial in nature, inevitably the populace is considered a tool, a beast of burden, or dare I say it - a plantation. We are considerd a crop, and people are starting to see that, and like many, they don't like it. Neither do I. But this is not the solution. We need to regroup, define goals and wait for the right time. Then we throw all the shit into the fan at once. You don't conquer by waving a flag. And as I've said before - we are not playing with kids. The powers that be, who get away with this exploitation did not get there by being nice, or vocal, or upstanding. The ruthless pursuit of power is necessary for it's attainment. It's almost like fighting fire with gasoline. Sounds dumb, but cranking up the heat can ruin the heater. I know because years ago I did adapt a heater to a propane tank when it was designed for natural gas. It melted, leaving some chrome plating in it's stead. With that metaphor, the system is rusting out from the inside. That is the vulnerability of which we must avail ourselves, and in that way we do not fight nature, they do. T^T
