The screed at

http://embeddedart.com/, the alleged suicide pilot’s web site and final letter, talks about frustrations with the government and ends with

this:

I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored

that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless minions for what they are. Sadly, though I spent my en

tire life trying to believe it wasn’t so, but violence not only

Piper Cherokee

is the answer, it is the /only/ answer. The cruel joke is that the really big chunks of shit at the top have known this all along and have been laughing, at and using this awareness against, fools like me all along.

I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over

and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop

this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well.

I disagree that violence is the only answer. I believe in the way of peace. Violence breeds more violence and a system brought in to existence that way will surely fall into the same pattern as caused the change in the first place. Only by changing peoples minds and how they view the reality of the situation is important.

I recently shared a one hour documentary on the Peace Pilgrim on my infocast and I found her message to be inspiring and one that aligns itself closely to how I believe.  I learned more about her here: http://peacepilgrim.com

“This is the way of peace:
Overcome evil with good,
and falsehood with truth,
and hatred with love.”
….Peace Pilgrim

The thought that this event is a false flag event made to stifle the growing liberty movement and have it labeled as a dangerous terrorists crossed my mind today. Yesterday I read an article online linked here: Insider: Republican Dirty Tricks Machine Targeting Grass Roots Constitutionalists

A prominent insider has told Infowars that Texas Governor Rick Perry and other establishment neo-cons have decided to deliberately target grass roots constitutionalists with dirty tricks campaigns in an effort to derail and hijack the growing liberty movement whose influence is threatening to blow the Texas gubernatorial race wide open.

Our office was contacted by a national personality, a household name, who told us that they were in a green room at a national public event a few weeks ago with Rick Perry. The individual was shocked when Perry said directly that there were three people who ‘got under his skin’ and who ‘had to be dealt with’ immediately.

One – Debra Medina, two – Alex Jones, and three – Ron Paul.

Perry told the individual that these three people had to be targeted and stopped in order for the Republican establishment to shut down any real voices of opposition that were threatening to have an influence on the Tea Party movement, which has been blatantly hijacked by the neo-cons in recent months.

Perry made it clear that these individuals and their supporters were the number one target of the neo-con hierarchy because the grass roots was threatening to regain control of the Tea Party movement that was first created by Ron Paul supporters back in 2007, but has since been hijacked by the Republicans.

The insider expressed their shock that Perry would be so open with his comments, suspecting that Perry must have considered the individual to be a fellow neo-con. The insider’s deep concern about what was said prompted them to contact our office.

Perry made the comments just a couple of weeks before gubernatorial challenger Debra Medina, the only true constitutionalist running for Governorship in Texas, was set-up by Fox News’ Glenn Beck, after the duplicitous talk show host smeared Medina and generated a fake controversy merely for saying that people should be free to question the official 9/11 story, a view shared by the vast majority of Americans.

(NaturalNews) NaturalNews has learned that the Shorty Awards are being operated fraudulently and that the voting results are fixed to exclude candidates who the editors at the Shorty Awards don’t want to win. In addition, the Shorty Awards, by refusing to police its own contests, actually encourages false and defamatory campaigning while ignoring legitimate complaints of vote fraud.

The Shorty Awards, in short, has been revealed as wholly discredited.

In this follow up to his 2008 speech predicting the economic crisis, Congressman Paul argues that we are by no means free of the crisis, and he examines what lies ahead for our nation if we do not abandon the establishment’s failed way of thinking and pursue liberty.
