We have said that we are in an "In-Between
Time" as the result of the election of Barack Obama to the presidency - and
for the most part, that's true; this does not mean, however, that the development
of the country into a Police State has entirely ground to a halt. It hasn't;
Nathan Coe writes:
"The Bush era is over, officially, but many mistakenly believe that Bush-era
police state activity is as well, which it is not (nor did it begin with Bush
in the first place). Many of the actions undertaken by George W. Bush to empower
himself and the police state remain active tools in the Obama administration,
and how Obama himself will approach them remains to be seen. Many remain hopeful,
yet at least as many are disillusioned by the actions of Obama thus far, and
no longer cling to a messianic view of our new president. But as a wise man
once said, you don't stab someone with a nine-inch blade, pull it out three
inches, and call it progress (or in this case, "hope" and "change"). Even
as the glorious age of Obama and the thousand years of peace it will bring
unfolds before us like a lotus flower made of rainbow starlight, new blossoms
of repression continue to emerge from the decomposing muck of the Bush administration."
We urge you to READ
the COMPLETE article by Coe - it is mind-blowing!
WE URGE YOU ...
In addition, we URGE you to watch the video by Naomi Wolf entitled The
End of America below. She compares the situation we face today
in the United States to the situation the people of Germany faced during the
1920s and '30s.
As Jesus said so many years ago:
"The children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children
of light." (Luke 16:8)
FINALLY ...
Finally, we leave you with the following words from Coe (they sound like
something straight out of our new book, WHAT
TO DO AS THE END APPROACHES - especially that portion
of the book that deals with the formation of "BASIC CHURCH
COMMUNITIES"):
"As the global resistance continues to unfold, so will the repressive responses
of the State apparatus. We can expect escalated attacks against our communities
of resistance as we escalate our revolt against this culture of death and
destruction.
We must develop relationships based upon affinity and communities capable
of withstanding the onslaught of the repressive mechanisms of the State and
transnational capital. We must develop the networks and connections necessary
to survive the endgame of the elite's psychotic obsession with total authority,
power, and control. We must free ourselves from the mechanisms of dependency
that keep us suckling at the teat of systemic globalism. We must establish
autonomous communities of active resistance ..."
