Greece Reality

Submitted by Simon Black via Sovereign Man blog,

Imagine coming home from work and finding that a group

of men have broken into your house. What do you do?

I have a gratified feeling that for an increasing number of our

readers, the answer would be to draw their firearm and defend

the home.

But its safe to say most folks would call the police.

This happened in Greece recently, as recounted to me in an

email by a colleague who was visiting his family in a rural,

seaside town in the countrys southern mainland.

Theres recently been rash of home burglaries in the village a

remarkable turn of events for a place accustomed to leaving

windows and doors unlocked.

In one instance, a local resident came home and spied a thief in

progress; he immediately called the police to dispatch a unit as

quickly as possible. And the police reportedly told the man,We

havent enough fuel to come out there right now.

It shouldnt come as a surprise to hear that public services are

being cut back in Greece given how messed up their economy is.

But protecting citizens against crime is supposedly one of

the sacrosanct terms of the social contract.

Citizens around the world have exchanged their freedom

for security. Its a completely absurd trade. . . but

nevertheless its happened.

And in doing so, governments have essentially monopolized the

security business. By and large, police and security are public

services provide exclusively by the government.

And supposedly the taxes that we all pay go to fund those

services. . . ensuring that someone from the government will

come and save us when the bad guys approach.

Thats the promise, at least.

But in difficult economic times, bankrupt governments

routinely set aside promises theyve made to taxpayers.

They slash pension (social security) benefits or use funky gorilla

math to understate cost of living increases.

They completely violate the sacred vow of maintaining a strong,

sound currency.

And they drastically reduce or even eliminate funding for critical

services that people have come to depend on.

Of course, this situation isnt unique to Greece. Every

bankrupt nation reaches this point sooner or later.

Recently in [bankrupt] Argentina, a single police officer

was left in charge of an entire jail in the Buenos Aires

area which was housing several dozen prisoners.

The lone officer, who was clearly in over her head and

poorly trained, heard suspicious noises somewhere in the

building. So what did she do? She (a police officer) called

the police.

Argentine media has published a recording of the officers

911 call, where the emergency dispatcher told the officer

to get a colleague to try and stop by.

Oh hey, I hope youre not too busy issuing parking tickets and

providing security for thieving politicians would you mind

making sure we dont have a prison break on our hands?

But the police officers response really reveals just how

desperate the situation is, I have only one vehicle to patrol the

whole district.

Again, these arent isolated events. This is a major trend that is

due to befall any bankrupt government.

Think about it: are we really so arrogant to believe that a

bankrupt government can continue to borrow money

forever without consequence?

Bottom line: independence is key. You cannot rely on a

bankrupt government to provide the services that they

promise.

That goes for anything from providing basic security to insuring

bank deposits to paying out Social Security benefits.

They simply dont have the financial means to make good on

their promises.

And this is a reality thats important to recognize and

prepare for before its too late.

Thu,

the house on fire and shoot them as they come out

don't want them coming back, do you?

If you don't have as much gas laid up as water, you're not

your a fool.

the gov't has no duty to protect anyone. try to sue the

gov't for not protecting you... you will get nowhere.

Watched a

snatch and dash here yesterday.

Food 4 Less store here in Phoenix, between monsoons.

Couple of crackheads snatched some meat from the cold

case. One small clerk dude, Braveheart in his own way, tried

to stop them and they got into a scuffle. When a group of us

customers made a move to intervene they booked on their

shitty Walmart bikes.

Clerk told me a moment later they stole his cellphone just as

he was calling 9-11. I suggested we get into my car, follow at

slow speed, (and run 'em over) and call the coppers with my

cell when we spot 'em again.Instead he clocked out and roared after them in his own car.

Road Warrior Interceptor type. Hope they don't actually

"cross" his path. Anyways, TEN minutes later patrol car

shows up.

"When seconds count, police are minutes away." Ten in this

case.

At least we have open carry/ conceal carry here. Might get

me one some day.

Bridgeport Ct in the 1990's. Cops would answer a call and go

to the address...after that took care of business they would

sit there and wait for the next call. Not enough money to

"patrol".

Listen. I like Simon. But trust me locks are too easy to pick

and expect the unexpected. You have to plan for your

deepest state of REM sleep.

Get a simple wireless remotely activated sensor. Put the

motion detector in "YOUR" strategic location(hallway, doors,

you figure it out) and put the receiver next to your bed.

Muffle the reciever with a towel so only you can hear it but

make sure it's loud enough to wake you from deep REM.

Don't guess, test it.

Loaded, at the ready weapon, in close reach. Quickly pull itunder your sleeping linens and pretend as if you are asleep.

Confirm your target is not friendly and fire.

"As the ligatures or strings do knit together the joints of all

the parts of the body, so doth ligeance join together the

Sovereign and all his subjects, quasi uno ligamine. Glanville,

who wrote in the reign of H. 2. lib. 9. cap. 4. speaking of the

connexion which ought to be between the lord and tenant

that holdeth by hone saith, that mutua debet esse domini et

fide litatis connexion ita quod quantum debet omino ex

homagio, tantum illi debet dominus ex dominio, prter solam

reverentiam, and the lord, (saith he) ought to defend his

tenant. But between the Sovereign and the subject there is

without comparison a higher and greater connexion: for as

the subject oweth to the King his true and faithful l igeance

and obedience, so the Sovereign is to govern and protect his

subjects...so as between the Sovereign and subject there isduplex et reciprocum ligamen."

"ligeance is the mutual bond and obligation between the King

and his subjects, whereby subjects are called his liege

subjects, because they are bound to obey and serve him; and

he is called their liege lord, because he should maintain and

defend them."

"The term citizen as understood in our law is precisely

analogous to the term subject in the common law and the

change of phrases has entirely resulted from the change of

government The sovereignty has been changed from one

man to the collective body of the people and he who before

was a subject of the king is now a citizen of the State."

State v Manuel 20 NC 122 129 quoted in US v Rhodes

ergo, there is no state, there are no citizens.

B190769Sonny

Just completed

my Concealed Weapons Permit training. The

Instructor said "If your feel threatened...shoot to kill...not in

the leg or arm.....cause if you don't kill the SOB....you are

the one that will end up in jail. "

Buck Johnson

When it happens

in the US it will be catastrophic. Because we aren't

prepared for when those checks stop coming or the

police decide either not to come or to participate in the mob

rule. As a nation we are a third world one with a first world

facade. Once we are shown we are third world, all hell is

going to break loose.
