It’s Not the Ron Paul Revolution Anymore

Carter Braxton | April 24, 2008

“In defense of liberty, first use the ballot box. Then the soap box. Then the jury box. Then the grand jury box. Then the ammo box.” - Anonymous

John McCain has “sealed” the Republican nomination. The hope that Ron Paul gave us, that we could restore our Constitution peacefully, through the use of the ballot box, was a faint hope. Too many of this year’s elections have been corrupted. The scales of justice have been unbalanced, against our will.

Our elections are now “digitized”, “computerized”. The same technology which has worked toward humanity’s benefit has now made it possible for the true result of an entire election to be concealed and unknowable. There is no longer any “paper trail” which we can follow. The nightly news result is the result, take it or leave it.

Though this charge (the Ron Paul Campaign) has been deflected, I do not propose that we give up. The 1st American Revolution was not won through the ballot box. But it was won. And Our revolution will not likely be won any easier.

The focus of our campaign cannot be traditional electoral politics (as advocated by the Libertarian Party) because our elections have become controlled and fraudulent. We must adopt diverse tactics to counter the diverse tactics (i.e., subversion of our elections) of our enemy.

Small LOCAL organizations are clearly the answer. The problem with D.C. is that it is not where you are, and not able to conceive or comprehend the problems of your locale. Only local organizations can do that. You (all who read this) must become leaders in your own station. The Revolution will never be won FOR you. If you ever believed that Ron Paul - alone - would be able to correct the current level of corruption in our government you were sorely mistaken.

It’s also about time for you to wash all of that junk about “keeping the revolution peaceful” out of your head (if it was ever there in the first place). You’ve got to make up your mind whether or not you will fight when the time to fight comes. If you fail, you may, as Patrick Henry warned, make the mistake of “lying supinely on [your] back and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until [your] enemies shall have bound [you] hand and foot”.

One of the local activities that Ron Paul has been advocating for the past 20 years has been jury service / juror education. The lone juror can stop ANY law, without fear of punishment by the court (for now, at least). When the formation of the North American Union (and the corresponding descendance of our constitution) are eventually publicized, we may not be able to rely on the jury. But for now it is a useful and reliable tool.
