And you think the enemy in this ideological/political war will do what
exactly, sit buy and applaude the winner ? I did approach this as a
political peaceful struggle for years, but nothing was done (not by
you either to be honest) that was necessary and easily possible using
the given political rights. If nothing sufficient is done with the
fought for rights/freedoms, then most likely the enemy will first
destroy these rights before the people are going to do anything. The
people don't want to move forward and they don't care enough about
moving backwards, so they will move backwards first. With
these rights destroyed they will have to be recaptured first, which is
exactly the whole goal of an armed uprising: to secure again political
rights.  After that is secured there is again the space to have a 'brain
war.'

You don't seem to appreciate the power of the enemy, this is a very
dangerous mistake. If you don't appreciate the possibility of armed
repression you are living in the fantasy world that the TV has created
for the masses. I don't don't want an armed uprising just because, but
it is sometimes necessary. How do you think you have gotten the right of
free speech and political assembly, for example ? You think the tyrants
not too long ago, a few generations, just handed that to the people
because it seemed like a good idea ?  Take for example Iraq, what choice
do these people have at the moment, being faced with a criminal
opression ? Sit it out while the people die by the hundreds of thousands
every year ?!  That is never going to end then, crime can pay if it is
not prosecuted, it won't be unless the Government is in the service to
the public and under its complete control (democracy.)

When the time for armed uprising comes, if ever, you will know why it
is necessary. It happens exactly *because* you do not put on your website
either what is necessary to be done, have you ? No you haven't, you didn't
attempt to explain why free trade in money is bad, or why companies should
be democracies and the state an absolute democracy, or why empires never
can work.  Maybe this is not your goal with your site, or what you want
to specialize in, all fine with me of course. But meanwhile the 'brain
war' is being lost one way or the other.

This is the complete political and ideological failure that may very
well degenerate in another world war. Please don't blame me for
making up a scheme for armed uprising that at least we have a better
chance of winning it once it comes, that's all I did, and that this
armed uprising doesn't itself become the main problem (because war tends
to breed tyranny.) Once the need for people's self defense comes, it can
be done wrong or right, if it is done wrong we may end up with a half
criminal 'officer corps,' where is that going to lead ? Nowhere good I 
think. We are all on the same side here, it is a brain war
until now, but please then WIN IT ! I'm not winning it either, but not
for lack of trying imho. This is a lot bigger then a few conspiracy
plots or the killing of the Polish political elite, or this entire
crisis, or even everything that happened since 1945. These is the great
struggle that started after the feudal order collapsed, against capitalism
which too over after the feudal system but that was itself also not too
great, the system. It is about law: what law governs the nations. 
Essentially that will probably always remain a brain-war, because ultimately
it is up to the people to understand these things and make a good life
for themselves.

I'm trying to reason with you now as well, which is part of this brain war
that the truth (as i see it) is currently not winning. WW3 seems to become
inevitable, same scheme as around 1929, which was extremely profitable for
a select set of capitalist enterprises, and it burned down any chance of
the public winning big political improvements using the vote and other
forms of struggle. Why do you think WW1 happened ? Because the people
where nearing a victory over capitalism, hence the capitalists reacted
with a big war when they could. Why could they ? Because the people didn't
get their stuff right, the opposition was deeply divided and they where
actually *all* wrong (the communists, the socialists and the anarchists and
the liberals all had inferior ideas). Thus defeated in the brain war, the
war was started to burn them up, and that is what happened. It is 1900
once more, if the brain war - the war for objective truth and social laws
that work - is not won, more world wars are likely. It is not one nation
against the other, but both ruling classes want their serfs to kill each
other on the battle field to maintain control. It may end up necessary
for an armed people's uprising to crush their own internal ruling class
tyranny if it happens, and perhaps to defend their nation from imperial
capitalist armies. But just like in 1917, we need a global revolution
to prevent self-liberated nations who form a progressive example to
other nations who are still suffering under capitalism or some bad system,
to be attacked by an overwhelming coalition of deluded imperial troops.

War isn't going to way by pretending it isn't there, and armed resistance
is going to be necessary because people like to think everything is well
while it is not. If only people put the blinders off for a moment and
think real hard to understand the truth about economics and Constitutions,
law, then this could be won easily in the best way possible: peaceful 
political uprising and economic activity. But don't delude yourselve that
it is going to happen like that, because where is it ?

Sorry for making this too long, tried to shorten it but it only kept growing.
