BLACK WEDNESDAY
What I am hoping is that black Wednesday does not turn into white Friday or red Saturday? White Friday would be the day that everything that you posted on the internet would need to be reviewed by a political reviewer before it was published. This would include blog posts, email, and especially any business related posts. Facebook posts and comments would not be allowed. How did this happen? The passage of SOPA and or PIPA gave so much power to the leadership hierarchy that everything must be reviewed for political correctness. I am glad I did not have to write those words.
We missed white Friday this time but unless we are vigilant it will eventually happen. The lesson learned is that as large and powerful as Google and Amazon are they were helpless to do anything without the power of the people. Thomas Jefferson said that “The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.” If we get to white Friday it is just a step away from red Saturday.
What is red Saturday? Red Saturday is the day that the people get feed up with the system that is controlling them. Thomas Jefferson in one of his lesser know (read that suppressed books) said that a little blood in the streets of a republic from time to time was a good thing. He was referring to oppressive government. The key word is republic as this country was not founded as a democracy but as a republic. If you don’t know the difference then now is the time to do your homework.
What can we do to avoid white Friday and red Saturday? There are a number of things that will put you in a position to avoid and survive these times if they should occur:
- The greatest and best thing that you can do is get out of debt. This is the current control mechanism and is currently used to control the people.
- Plan your life and live your plan.
- Do your very best to do what is right in your life.
- Store a year’s supply of food and clothing.
- Develop an emergency cash fund at home not in the bank.
- Get to know your neighbors as they are the ones that can help you and you can help them when things get rough.
- Be active in your community and local government—keep an eye on them.
- Be an informed citizen—willing to make whatever sacrifice is necessary to preserve constitutional government.
These are not things that a terrorist does; these are things that any well prepared citizen does. Personal success is determined by planning and action.
If the citizens are prepared and informed we won’t need to have another black Wednesday. A prepared citizenry will support The Constitution of the United States of America. All of us at sometime in our lives have sworn to uphold and protect the Constitution—now we need to honor that pledge.
