For some reason, I find myself restless tonight. Perhaps this has something to do with yesterday’s events where I spoke with many people.

First, I spoke with a friend and local business owner about how I saw things in the future, those familiar with this blog know that I expect the future to hold some very inconvenient events.

Yesterday evening, I found myself at the Alpharetta Golden Coral for a meeting with the Atlanta Pet Chickens group, which has now grown to be the largest regional poultry club in the country. I became curious about what led most people to the meeting that night, many said their fears of our economic future had led them to choose chickens as pets in order to have access to low cost food staples, mainly eggs. Ironically, this too is what has led me to join and to attend the meeting last evening.

Last night, knowing I needed to be in Cartersville, I decided to get a nearby hotel room in order to get a jump start on the day. As I lay there trying to sleep, I listened to WGST in Atlanta, I heard Alex Jones on the air. Normally, I think Alex leans a bit to the tinfoil hat side, however; today I am beginning to wonder if he’s onto some things.

As I listened, one of the bumper songs caught me, and as music often does, it made me think. My friends know well that I am a very musical person, and many wonder where I find the songs and artists I do. Tonight’s selection which inspired me was performed by Jackson Browne, who often can be found on my playlist.

Jackson Browne – Lives in the Balance
I’ve been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you’ve seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war

And there’s a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs

On the radio talk shows and the TV
You hear one thing again and again
How the U.S.A. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends–
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can’t take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

There’s a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can’t even say the names

They sell us the president the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they’re never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons

It’s time to begin asking some questions. Here are some to ponder:

• Why are so many states beginning to enact or consider Sovreignty under Article 10 of the United States Constitution?
• Why does the Obama Stimulus bill have so many Trojan Horse government programs and restrictions?
  • Health Care Czar? Soon the U.S. Government may be able to approve or deny health care that you need, furthermore; you may be implanted with microchips in the not too distant future in order to track your medical history. (Could those chips then be used for other uses, such as the buying or selling of food and other goods, as the Bible warns regarding the Mark of the Beast from Revelation chapter 13?)
  • Gun Control? Could the Government enact new, much more strict gun regulations by hiding them in the stimulus package? Could they confiscate your guns?
• Should we be worried that, in the event of a market crash, any form of civil unrest or other disturbance could result in a federal suspension of Constitutional law? (It should be noted that declaration of martial law can be enacted by the Office of the President of the United States without risk of Congressional review for a period of 6 months.) What would happen to those who do not agree with suspension of Constitutional Law? One audio recording found here suggests FEMA is preparing detention centers and mass graves.
• Why were members of Congress threatened with the enactment of Martial Law in the event the Obama Stimulus Plan was not passed? (this video is frightening)
• Could the Federal Deficit problem lead to a collapse in markets and a declaration of martial law?

With all this being said, I am sure you will have questions of your own. If you do, let me know and also let your representatives know. We should all voice the concerns we have while we still enjoy the freedoms to do so. Just remember the words of some of our founding fathers …

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.” – Benjamin Franklin

“I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” – Thomas Jefferson

“Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government’s purpose is beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.” – Louis Dembitz Brandeis

“He who would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.” – Thomas Paine

If some of you still question the motives or ideals of our founding fathers and their vision of what our government should become, I highly recommend reading the Federalist Papers, which can be found online. You will quickly find the stories of our founding fathers are much different than what we heard and were told in our classrooms. Should we choose to honor their memories, we should be well advised to know their ideals well so that our homage may be paid in accuracy, knowledge and wisdom with reverence to that which is right for our country and its future.
