    Being strong to prevent bullying is perfectly understandable, however it's another thing entirely to be so absurdly strong so that only you can be the bully. If everyone has to be at least equally "strong", then without limit everyone must continually be paranoid about who's the strongest, resulting in a build up of military strength without end, and we've seen who benefits from an arms race (the war industry) and who does not (everyone outside the war industry).

    What should be clearly spelled out, is what "peace" means, and how to best achieve it while preventing an escalation of military buildup and hopefully reducing military stockpiles - something the war industry does *not* want to ever see happen (of course).

    “Human history has demonstrated repeatedly that you're safer if your enemies know you'll stand up for yourself than if you're proudly outspoken about your defenselessness or your unwillingness to fight.” <br />
    This leapt out at me as I was reading along with the thought,”How appropriate to how we are governed.” Now that it is widely accepted the state apparatus is the enemy against it’s people and that the state apparatus are beholding to the international bankers is would be safe to assume the time to stand up for ourselves and for our fellows <br />
    Those with little conscience and less consciousness ignore the above truism. There are, on Vive le Canada, and many other sites the hard core fighters for what we’ve been told is ours and yet I see we are surrounded by the flab of indifference and apologists for the state and church or otherwise just plain ignorant drones who are quite happy to not make waves, just go along with and otherwise jeopardize true freedom for mall hopping, and senseless pursuits, and/or schlock television.<br />
    <br />
    There is, as far as I can see, no one solution for humanities survival and there are alternatives.<br />
    From <a href="http://reactor-core.org/none-dare.html#what">http://reactor-core.org/none-dare.html#what</a> <br />
    you decide that you will do something — that you at least are not yet controlled — read on — pick up the ball we are tossing you and with thousands of others, let's "end run," the conspiracy.<br />
    Here's how: The four keys in this program are:<br />
    1. You. What you do now is, of course, the key to this whole operation. If you delay, your motivation will wane, your concern will recede, but the danger will increase. Remember, the Insiders don't care how much you know about their conspiracy so long as you don't do anything about it. So keep reading and then act.<br />
    2. This book: None Dare Call It Conspiracy. In writing this book we have tried to give a concise overall picture of the nature of the conspiracy. We wrote it not only to explain the conspiracy, but to give you a complete program of action now, so that the many "You's" around the country would not necessarily have to be articulate sales men to make your "end run." You can simply pass this book out and let it do the job for you. The conspiracy may be able to stifle publicity on this book and keep it off the magazine rack at your local supermarket, but they can't stop you from distributing it to friends, neighbors, relatives and business associates and especially in your precinct. With a potential 30 million distribution of this book to those mentioned above (and in a manner yet to be described), you will create a base of opinion that will throw the Insiders out.<br />
    <br />
    <br />
    post script <br />
    Since the publishing of None Dare Call It Conspiracy thirty years ago in my estimation it has become worse. <br />
    I accept my share of responsibility for that.<br />
    Do you?<p>---<br>"When I tell the truth, it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those that do."<br />
