READER: Hey Mike. I am just as pissed off, scared and freaked out as everyone else about these recent "laws" that have been passed. But I ask, what is it that we are suppossed to do? I mean, we can talk, we can hold peaceful protests, but when it all comes down to it how do we change things? How do we get these people out of office?

WRH: How did the Russians get the USSR out of office? How did the Romanians get rid of Cheacescu? How did the Italians get rid of Mussolini? How did the British get rid of King Charles I?
History is full of examples of how an oppressed people got rid of tyrants. Take your pick.

O' they wan't to...they just don't have the Guts! That would require leaving one's computer chat rooms!" Not Gonna Happen"think Sr.

Well, really, if you believed what they believed- that forces within the government planned an attack to kill thousands of people as a pretext to war, which war they would then exploit to enact laws to erase the freedoms we all have - wouldn't you have to be prepared to rise in armed rebellion? Why would such people allow peaceful protests, or even elections, to remove them from power?

The fact that none of these bozos is willing to actually put their lives on the line tells you that deep down inside, they know they're just BS'ing. They're just sleazy little hypocrites, looking to get famous by any means necessary.

That's a lot of very bad history crammed into one page.

Really? The history of armed resitance suggests otherwise. Lots of people will give passive support but most wont do anything. Even the french resistance only got to the numbers it did due to the Germans makeing the alturnatives for 18-30 year olds rather unplesent.

Rather a bad example of effective resistance though, WWII was not a hallmark for the French. The French of the late 18th century certainly laid it on the line.

but at the same time these CTers claim the US is heading along the same lines as nazi germany, they should be expecting unpleasant alternatives

Yes, but at least some do take an active role. None of these guys has - they're all just talk, and no matter how aggressive their rhetoric is, they still end up just sitting around BS'ing.

um, do you think mocking them into action is really the best thing to do?

Because it had reached the point where young men had few other options.

The answer to that depends on how cynical you are.

Hey, I can't (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?postid=1947828#post1947828) even mock (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?p=1949201#post1949201) one guy (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?p=1949737#post1949737) into having a debate he called for! How much harder would it be to get them to do something that requires leaving the basement?

They've been at this for years. Check out what they were saying back in early 2000. http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.whatreallyhappened.com

And before that as "Rancho Runamukka", they had Waco, TWA 800, Ron Brown, Vince Foster, etcetera.

And in case you don't believe it's the same folks behind this site:

"This website originally existed under the name 'Rancho Runamukka'. Click here (http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/index.html) to visit a mirror of that original site."
SOURCE: http://whatreallyhappened.com/wrhindex.html

So, they've been singing the same song for years, and that was even back when there were more-credible threats from the militias. The mix of supporters seems different know, and I think they may be even less belligerent.

I will sum up the threat of an uprising in one sentence.

They were actually much more active in the years before 9/11 than they have been in the years since. Ruby Ridge and Oklahoma City both took place over 10 years ago.
