…fact. That’s right. My novel, Universal Coverage, which I have been shamelessly promoting here on my blog, will now become fact. Mr. Stupak of Michigan committed his act of treachery to his own principals and made a deal with the royals now controlling the nation’s political machine. With the stroke of the royal pen and the bang of Ms. Pelosi’s oversized gavel, the United States of America will officially become a socialist nation. Already the federal government controls vast sectors of the economy and this will put it within striking distance of 50%. They’re not stopping there. Cap and trade is next and then the game will be completely over.
My fellow Americans, if you have an ounce of honor left, direct your energies to resist this tyranny. We were once a nation of individuals who found solutions to their own problems, who did not look to the divine rule of kings but to the self-regulation and support of ourselves. Sadly, this ethos has been diluted and perhaps completely lost. However, there may be those of you still willing to live free, to throw off the yoke, to make your own way. If so, read on. If not, suffer your fate silently under the fist of the socialist masters.
If you made it this far, you’re probably a producer yourself, someone who actually provides valuable services, products, and/or labor to your fellows. What we must do, is stop producing. Do not make the rope by which the socialist will hang you. Put down your tools, stop making the things they need, stop giving them what they demand, what they are stealing from you every day. Stalin starved the peasants, but the peasants starved Stalin. By not feeding the great Soviet beast, the peasants denied Stalin his total victory. He and his successors had to beg and borrow and steal wheat from the US, Argentina, and elsewhere. So it must be from this day forward.
Extreme… let me tell you about extreme. Imagine if the CEO of Exxon called a special shareholders meeting. He announces that due to the government’s continued intrusion and malfeasance, he is idling all production of petroleum and its byproducts. Maintenance only to keep the equipment in good condition. One company as large as Exxon doing this could cause a major disruption in the energy supply of the US. Furthermore, if the CEO of Sunoco and perhaps Conoco/Phillips joined in, the economy would very quickly grind to a halt. If there is a CEO with guts out there, let him do this. Similarly, let American Airlines, Delta, and Continental do the same thing. Just park all the planes for 72 hours, catch up on the maintenance and tell the government that if they don’t fly right, the planes won’t be in the air.
But they’ll go bankrupt, a wily critic may say. Nonsense! The government survives by the faith of its people in its right to rule. Well, this government has proven itself to be nothing but a series of royal decries, seizures, and acts of enslavement. With any major industry shutting down, the government would soon understand how weak they really are as would the rest of the population.
Besides, the government is about to drive health care companies into bankruptcy because the health care industry did not unite against this illegal attack and also to take complete control of them. So again, all you doctors, nurses, technicians, researchers, every one of you. Don’t go to work for a week, for two weeks, for as long as possible. Why? If you allow this takeover, you will be worse than bankrupt, you will be a slave to the great collective. Your orders will come from on high. And you patients, well, hopefully you have friends in high places with the authority to schedule your surgeries and treatments. If not, sorry, you’ll be in line, just like at the busy deli you like so much.
Seriously, my fellow Americans, the time to stop producing is NOW. Go on strike. These royals don’t know how to make the lights come on, the toilets flush, the engines to run, or the planes to fly. They know nothing but thuggery: the continued stealing from and enslavement of a docile population. Fight them with everything you have. Otherwise, you’ll be lost to the gristmill socialist slavery.
