The Fear of Death Makes Cowards of Us All

[Keith Broaders]

The quote "The fear of death makes a coward of us all"
William Shakespeare

For thousands of years the rulers of the world have used fear to enslave humanity. Only by threatening the masses have those at the top been able to enslave those at the bottom. In order for a man to be free he must overcome his fear of death and challenge the ruling class. A man can not become a slave without his consent. A man who is unwilling to fight for his freedom does not deserve to be free. 

Those that control government derive their power from the consent of the governed and when we refuse to comply with unjust laws we effectively withdrawing our consent.

Our society has been divided into a two classes. The first consists of the financial elite and the second class consists of their subjects. Those at the top control the wealth of the world and have made the rest of us their perpetual debt slaves.

A man whose life is governed by fear can never be free.

Thomas Jefferson wrote that governments derive their power from the consent of the governed, but if this were true the masses at the bottom would never consent to being the slaves of those at the top.It is obvious that the people at the bottom of the heap would never voluntarily give their consent to a tyrannical government if they were not first paralyzed by the fear of death..

Those at the top have successfully convinced that the Constitution was established to protect the protect the rights of the people. It has succeeded to protecting those at the top, but has failed to protect those of us at the bottom,

The men who signed the Constitutions and the states which ratified it, gave their consent, but have you every given the government your consent? Some way that when we vote and pay taxes we are giving our consent. Others way that when we obey the laws, we give our consent and still others would have us believe that our silence is consent.

Those in positions of power use the unjust laws and the threat of violence to control the people. In order to enslave us they must first instill fear into the hearts of the people. When men and women fear death, they accept slavery rather than fighting for their freedom.

Remember,everything Hitler did was lawful ans the German people's willingness to comply with unjust laws led to the death of millions. When a law is just, obey it, but when a law in unjust it is our duty to defy it,

At the Bundy Ranch a band of patriots assembled  to protest the abuse of power by the government. Very few of us would have had the courage to stand alone, but collectively we overcame our fear of death and sent a loud and clear message to the government that we could rather die free than to submit to tyranny.

[Robert Stoeppelmann]

Dear Keith,     The actual quote is "thus conscience doth make cowards of us all." Hamlet, Scene 3, Act 1. It starts with the well known "to be or not to be." The real reason for  the lack of action by men of reason and good will. Psychopaths have no compunction to murder, rape, steal, destroy and dominate the former. Until men of goodwill can put aside their conscience, temporarily, and confront the chronically psychopathic with swift and unrelenting justice, we will,forever, remain enslaved to them. Many for this cause have died unafraid. Bob, from BHC.

Not true for the Faithful. Fear is just the unknown.

[Keith Broaders]

How many do you know that are willing to risk the loss of their life to defend the principles of liberty? We have been trained since our infancy to obey the law and do what we are told by the government. We are taught that the initiation of force by the government to compel us to obey is appropriate, When righteous men obey unjust laws they trade their liberty for the illusion of safety.

[Mary Lynn Durfee]

I don't think people know what they would do until it happens. I think there are many people who would not say right now that they want to die for liberty when they think they are already free, but when things get bad and the viel is lifted then I think Justice will rise up in most men and women and they would die for their freedom and their families. At least, I will pray that is who we are. For now, we need clarity of what exactly is happening and why it is so bad and then we need a solution for it. A way around the civil war that "they" want to kill off both sides.
Right now, the government appears to be helping - protecting us from terrorists, extending unemployment, offering healthcare to everyone - the illusion is working. We sign on the dotted line with the salesperson, pay the fees, and then they deliver something else. It may take until that something else. Right now, the front line sees and knows and the masses don't have a clue. I don't think we can wake up them with shouts of liberty when they think they are free. Perhaps interviews asking "how is this working for you and your family?" Tons of stories, interviews, of what is really happening via this Administration. Not inflamed or exaggerated or even Constitutionally focused, but true news videos of everyday people - that will get others to align with and then they can see? I don't know...just thinking outloud.

I think you're right....only until our backs are against the wall will people do something....I have noticed that when I mention the things that are going on, more people are responding that they "know"......I wasn't getting those responses a year ago.

[David Michael Kidd]

I couldn't help but to chime in on your experience at the VA....I know exactly what you are talking about. They only treat the symptoms with drugs. I was in the medical field for 15 years, so I started using my own knowledge to find the mechanism of the problem...I finally found the right course of action...I went outside the VA and found real M.D.'s who addressed the issue.

[Christine Fitzpatrick]

Yeah, let's elaborate on the "personal accountability" and I may add, responsibility.  5warvet, you mentioned something on another thread that goes hand in hand with this. And I think Mary too mentioned feminine v victim, or something to that effect.  All all cause and effect.  Cry baby, boo hoo, I need, I want, I am suffering...etc.  Major shortcomings in the character of Americans today.  Not completely their fault, but if you are going to buy into the propaganda and not question anything, well, I say, once shame on you twice shame on me.  When all is said and done, one can only address their own issues and either face them or bury head in sand.  Most will choose the latter, and exist.  Some will chose, as i did, facing the music, and LIVE.  We all talk about love, and happiness, the problems, what should be, what our neighbors are doing or failing to do.  But my observation is, they fail to look at themselves and their pitiful lives.  Do nothings, dead weight, for which i have learned to protect my energy from.  They will suck the life right outta ya.  I have offended some, and dont' care.  I clean up my own house first.  From that position, I feel confident to venture out into the community to express the message.  I have found the responses to be from very interested and want more or the polite but "this woman is one of those" looks, and just complete apathy.  It uses to frustrated me that people were so ignorant.  I have come to grips with the 'water of a ducks back' philosophy.  I have to conserve my energy as I know more trying times are ahead, and I know what I am willing to live or die for.  And that is all that matters.

You did the right thing taking the supplements. I started doing the same thing when I found out that the majority of people are B-12 and D3 deficient. Being deficient in both of these vitamins can cause serious problems from neurological issues to lung problems. B-17 is another good thing to take to help prevent cancers. I can't believe the VA tried to tell you that...In my mind, that's malpractice....If you take vitamin D3, look into vitamin K2 MK7...D3 and K2 go together. The K2 has been studied for years and is responsible for directing the D3 into the bones. K2 also removes arterial calcification from the arteries...check it out....I was an expert shot in the Marines....I, too, can shoot pretty good...M-16A1.....Watch out for the VA... they will kill you over time.

[David Michael Kidd]

That's great. The D3 is perfect. Check out the K2 because vitamin D3 can end-up in your arteries as well as the abdominal aorta.....as calcification from the D3. Read about K2 and how it directs D3 to the bones where you want it. I know about the baking soda as well as other things like B-17 apricot seeds for prevention of cancer. The cancer industry thinks radiation and chemo therapy is the answer....NOT. They say that man will die of his medicines....not his illness.
