WE HAVE SAVED OTHERS, BUT WILL WE SAVE OURSELVES?
by Ron Ewart, ©2011
(Feb. 10, 2011) — “‘Tis a terrible thing to witness the death of an old friend, body riddled with disease, emaciated, disfigured and racked by convulsions, his youthful energy and happy disposition a far distant memory. One wishes for a merciful death and yet one holds out hope that somehow your old friend will miraculously be healed and restored to good health, even though you know in your heart that death has him firmly in its grip.” — Ron Ewart
“I reach down my hand from the firmament and shake awake your soul to open your eyes in the hope that you will see the truth, as an act of divine providence, because it appears that only divine providence can save you and your precious freedom.” — Anonymous
Must we rely on miracles and divine providence to preserve liberty? Are we, who are men of freedom, not man enough to save ourselves that we must depend on miracles and random probabilities to restore freedom? Do we lack the courage to step once more into the breach, as we have for over 200 years? Have we so callously forgotten the words of President Reagan when he said: “We can solve these problems because after all, we are Americans?”
Ladies and gentlemen, are we not still Americans? What has changed? We who have saved a billion people from bondage in two world wars, at great sacrifice, have we gone silent? We who have raised the standard of living of the entire world because of our creativity, industriousness, innovation and yes, even our generosity, have we become so dependent on mother government that the ambition and drive to excel has been erased by years of propaganda, brainwashing and indoctrination? Must we be saved from rooftops when mother nature strikes and refuse to help ourselves?
There is an old story about a man who escaped to his rooftop during a major flood, as his entire house was enveloped in the rushing water. A man came by in a canoe and asked the man on the rooftop if he could take him to safety. The man on the rooftop said no and stated in a strong voice that “God would provide.” A little later a much larger boat came along with several people in it and offered the man on the roof a ride to dry land. But again he said no and repeated that “God would provide.” Pretty soon a helicopter hovered over the man on the rooftop and sent down a ladder, but the man would not budge, yelling up to the helicopter that “God would provide.” The helicopter flew away. Shortly after the helicopter left, a flash flood came down the river and swept the house and the man away. When the man approached his Maker, he asked why he was not saved. “I always believed that God would provide,” he said. The man’s Maker replied: “Good God, man, I gave you three chances at survival and you turned them all down. What did you think, that I was going to beam you up to heaven? Even with all my powers, I can’t fix stupid.”
The flood that has been surrounding our “house” has been there for decades. We have had many chances to save ourselves, but each time we say, “No, Government will provide.” For the last 100 years, from Roosevelt 1, Wilson, Hoover, Roosevelt 2, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2 and now Obama, we knew that a gully washer was forming on the horizon and that it would eventually envelop our “house” and sweep it away. We have had numerous opportunities to dissolve the gully washer before it could do any damage. But oh, no; we said, “Government would provide.” Somehow, many of us lost our self-reliance, our independence and our commitment to preserve freedom and put it all in the hands of the growing monster that is government. Government has squandered our treasure and our wealth and frittered it away on buying off the gullible and the naive for their votes. They have made helpless weaklings out of a large percentage of our population who gave up their pride and their self-worth in exchange for a free lunch and the wispy ghost of security.
Now freedom and American sovereignty are in the cross-hairs of socialism, communism, radical Islam, radical environmentalism, hyperinflation, economic collapse, the one-world-order and even worse, traitors within. Our flag, our statue of liberty, our freedom bell, our Declaration of Independence and the foundation of our liberty, our constitution, are square in the path of a giant bulldozer that will show no mercy as it grinds us into dust. Our government has turned away from their absolute duty to preserve freedom and is instead crushing freedom.
We who hold up the flag of freedom are the only thing that stands in the way of the bulldozer and a government that has lost all allegiance to the documents that delineated the liberty of all men who are endowed with certain unalienable rights, as a gift from their creator. We who know history must do everything in our power to assure that history is not repeated. We, who have not succumbed to the siren call of nanny government and who cherish our freedom, our self-reliance and our pride, must awaken the masses and then catalyze them into action to save America from being merged into a world collective, just like the Borg from the “Star Trek Generation” TV series.
We can sit here and lament over the slow death of our close friend, America, or we can rise up in unison, declare our freedom once again and restore our good friend to the image of health and vitality that he was at his birth. It will not be a miracle or divine providence that saves American liberty and sovereignty. It will be from the actions of millions of free men of courage, intellect, commitment and determination, even though we are a minority and we face insurmountable odds. Ten percent of the colonials beat back one of the most powerful nations on earth in 1776. Today, ten percent of proud and free Americans will lead America into the light of day and onto the glory that rises out of the ashes of bondage and human slavery, and it will do so because freedom is the natural order.
For how many of you do we speak? Are you part of the ten percent that will save America, or are you part of the 90% who are trying to bury America or plain don’t care what happens to America? If you are part of the ten percent, let us hear from you and then let our ten percent unite together in one mind in the defense of liberty, no matter where the path may take us. We can fix our problems because after all, we are Americans and there are no other people on earth, there is no ideology, there is no force, that can match our ingenuity, strength and resolve. If you don’t believe that, you are part of the 90%.
Do we speak for you? We certainly hope so!

” …it will work if we are committed to see it through.” COMMITTED is the WORD! We must all be COMMITTED! Don’t wait for tomorrow, CONMIT yourselve NOW!
I have been waiting for a year now for all of America to realize we have no choice but to confront this situation head on. The hour has come for all Americans that love freedom to assemble in Washington DC and refuse to leave until the usurper and his criminal co-conspirators LEAVE! Before anyone decides to do this, they should know there is precedence for this as it has been done before and it will work if we are committed to see it through.
Go here to learn about the EDSA Revolution of 1986:

10% of the American population is 38 million people. 38 million people would flat shut Washington DC down! We can do this… peacefully…. and successfullhy!

While I am in complete agreement with MacPUBLIUS, the logistics of doing what He proposes would certainly be a feat to accomplish. Since I know of this man from the past work he has done, I believe there are also other ideas that could be
broached that might be additive to ALL American citizens who realize we must ALL work together for the good of Our country. If somehow I could make contact with him, I believe I have an idea he may find interesting.
bill,
contact me at: macpublius[a]epublius.us
thanx, mac
I like your spirit. I make an exception to your idea of staying till we get a response. It is still winter or at the very least cold in DC. It rains too. People need food and service facilities. Not to mention money to buy food at the very least.
All the sitting government need to do is wait us out, 2 days will be all that is needed as people WILL have to return to work to feed their families and take care of business.
The idea sounds good as a rallying cry, but not very practical. Keep trying though.
Robert,
I don’t recall General Washington deciding that it was impractical to cross the Delaware River on Christmas Eve in the dead of night and winter. I also don’t recall him telling his troops at Valley Forge that we need to give up because it’s too cold to go on. I could go on and on about the American spirit and what is required to preserve our freedom. It’s not a football game or 4th of July picnic anymore. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. America is supposed to be the shining beacon of liberty and justice for the world. Instead, we have been living a lie for over 140 years. The truth hurts. Imagine being a veteran and having killed people at the behest of the USA Corp… and for what? To cover corrupt politicians asses and continue to propagate the greatest fraud in world history? We are Americans. We are the backbone of the greatest nation on earth. We have nothing in common with the corrupt bastards in Washington DC that have taken our beloved republic from us. There is only one more thing left to say… Give me liberty, or give me death!

I wouldn’t be talking to you about this if I didn not think that I wasn’t alone in my views. The solution is chemical, and the masses must rise like yeast in a finely crafted cake, but they have to be stimulated, tickled as it were, by the fire, until they stand and shout as one, “We’ve had all we can take, but it isn’t enough to be erect, must to push forward in an all encompassing mass, swallow everything in our path!” Go for the Gold, the Silver, and the Bronze! What is the point of winning one if we can’t when them all?
TODAY AT HOME, NEXT WEEK IN THE WHITE HOUSE!
What an awesomely written article from Ron Ewart. Count me in with the 10%.
It is clear that a peaceful march on D.C. is in the future,
or else we all might as well quit talking about it and
accept our fate.
If there are millions of Americans who are financially
able to make the trip, able to leave a job for a week,
without family responsibilities. or health handicaps,
it would behoove those people to join forces in
communicating a plan to leave, arrive, march,
raise banners/flyers succinct and relevant to the
cause. Forget the birth certificate; hone in on the
criminal acts, the parentage, the overriding of the
Constitution, the illegal treatment of AZ, the
Social Security numbers, the multiple acts that
disregard the laws of this land.
There could be very well be a military unit to keep
the people out of the White House, out of the
Oval Office, out of wherever Obama is hiding.
Make sure he is not out of the country.
Elect someone as group co-ordinator and
and someone as spokesman
should you actually be allowed into the den of thieves.
Make hotel reservations ahead of time.
Be ready to face down security.
There is safety in numbers.. they can’t shoot a million
people without some repercussion.
Egypt is a model in violence. It may work that way
for them.
For Americans, we first go for a peaceful march
but keep in mind the American Revolution..
There is also strength in numbers.
The chant should be “Obama, illegal
usurper, step down, NOW.”
So next step:
a. Vote for the month, day
and time.
b Vote for a leader
c. Vote for a spokesman
d. Do a count of how many will participate.
e. Arrange flight or train reservations
f. Arrange hotel reservations ,, you may have to
travel in from outside of D.C.
g. Spring is a good time when the weather is mild
and the snow season is past.
Actions speak louder than words.
A woman with a plan! Where’s the men?
I was thinking of something along the lines of: “THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!”
As a Veteran I said an oath whilst swearing myself into the Service. Part of that oath was to defend this country against enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC. I also swore to defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We have that enemy and it is time for a call to arms to defend and deliver this country back to what it was. The longer we do nothing but TALK the worse it gets.
As a child I stood in my classroom everyday and said the Pledge of Allegiance. I meant that one too. Especially the part that stated “One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All !!!
We have seen none of this in the past 2.5 yrs and it is getting nothing but worse. A card to travel around the country for identification purposes. A number or some such thing to use the internet. There go some of our “Inalienable Rights” ! Folks wanting to take away my guns (as the saying goes…..from my cold dead fingers if necessary).
This is a Government that is supposed to be….By the People, For the People, and it is time that as the People we stood up as one Nation and declared for our Freedoms or they are going to continue to be pushed right out the door.
Do we really want a man in office who hides everything and lies every time his lips move ?
Our Ancestors did it to England and it’s time WE did it here !

Folks, we just keep getting the same message over and over again. I think it is safe to say that enough Americans know we have a problem, care about what is happening to our country, but do not know what else to do about it. The 10% of us have done all that we know at this time to do: we have marched on WASH DC in tens of thousands (or 1.7 million by some reports), we have attended Tea Party conventions and workshops on how to mobilize for action, we have phoned, emailed and written thousands upon thousands of times to our legislative and judicial officers, all to no avail. So, clearly we know what the issue is that we are facing. The government at all levels has turned a deaf ear to us.
What we need now is not more chastising and brow-beating by like-minded patriots, well-meaning though they be. What we do need is for a group of leaders to rise up and coalesce our concerns into an action plan. We do not apparently have those leaders, only people who continue to make noise about the problem but do not offer any solutions. The best way for us to mobilize into a force that must be reckoned with would probably best be done by states.
If someone has the leadership qualities to lead us out of this swamp, then please step forward. But, please let’s refrain from raising the same issue over and over and over again without a solution! In the business world, most managers do not want to hear about a problem unless the complainer can offer a solution. I say the same goes here for our country’s problems. Don’t keep the same complaint going unless you can offer a way out of the morass we are in. It gets so tiring to read complaints that just batter us down even more than we feel already. Come up with a workable solution that can snowball through all 50 states.

Mrs. Rondeau replies: Take a criminal complaint to a county or federal grand jury.
I’ve already done that with AGJ presentment of charges to our county DA, court house, and Sheriff’s Office. The court wouldn’t take it unless it came from the DA; the SO never responded to it.
Been there and done that 183 times. They’re not interested in what American citizens have to say. MP
I stand firm to do my part to save this Great Country that we have been given. We must invite all of those who do not stand with us to leave the country and go elsewhere to spread their misery. Perhaps even give them free one way passage.
they have all commited treason against our country,that includes or military for not protecting our country,by this domestic enemy.They hide laws that they want to put everything under corporations,domestic and forgein.This isnt in the constitution.The banks have control of the corporation.Income tax was never ratified.GSE goverment sponsor enterprises.financial service corp.created by congress,the global bank owned by morgan stanley,UN @the FED are corrupt.This is why we had a deficit,It was the biggest robery on WE THE PEOPLE.Dirtyunclesam.com, endfinancialfraud.org sound money click search
