“First they came for the lemonade stands…”

I thought this was quite an apropos comment on the Gibson Guitar raid.

First they came for the lemonade stand, and I didn’t say anything, because I didn’t have a lemonade stand.
Then they came for the organic foods and raw milk, and I didn’t say anything, because I didn’t have organic foods and raw milk.
Then they came for the vitamins, and I didn’t say anything, because I didn’t have any vitamins.
Then they started shutting down old coal power plants and I didn’t say anything, because my electricity comes from wind turbines.
Then they came for the my neighbor’s house and claimed eminent domain, but I didn’t say anything, since my house is just fine.
Then they came for the gold, and I didn’t say anything, because I had no gold.
Then they came for the guns, and I didn’t say anything, because I had no guns.
In the end, they came for me and no one was left able to speak for me.

Wake up America, this government is not our government, it is a monster. Today is Gibson guitars, tomorrow is your business or you job.

All I would add is first they came for your taxes, from that point on, all else follows.

  13. Once again, for those of you who haven’t figured it out yet or who just don’t get it:

    The main root of the tree of tyranny is the fraudulent system of fiat currency, brought to you by the federal reserve banksters.

    That system is held in place with the mal application of the income tax on the wages (common usage of word) of the average American.

    The essential nexus that allows the income tax to be laid on the fruits of our labor is our participation in Social Security.

    Participation in Social Security (SSN use/paying into the program) is, according to the slave enumeration bureau (social security administration) 100% voluntary and not required to live OR WORK in the United States, write them and ask, they will admit this IN WRITING in reply to your inquiry, their website is ssa dot gov.

    Corporate Amerika, thru their policies, REFUSE TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU WITHOUT THAT NUMBER, in spite of no law. Try getting a job, a life policy, a health policy, an auto policy, a brokerage account, a bank account, an emergency room visit, a doctor visit, a cell phone, electricity, water, gas, or cable TV without them insisting upon a socialist slavestate number first. No law, just policy … in the case of a job, usually based upon ignorance or fear.

    The remedy is to pass a law … local, state, or federal … that would require a full disclosure anytime anyone anywhere for any reason, in plain language, asks for a socialist slavestate number.

    So what does that have to do with lemonade stands? If the govt. could no longer collect income tax on our labor, its wings would be severely clipped, and they wouldn’t have the funding to phug with lemonade stands. Plus, if we were all on the same page, standing up to these b’tards on socialistic insecurity/socialist slavestate number use, they would loose their attitude … and quickly.

  14. First they came for the Palestinians in 1948….
    Then they came for ….the list goes on through decades and continents….the last item being Libya.
    And eventually they’ll come wherever you are with enslavement and genocide…too bad the dummies
    cheering for the conquest of all those before them on the list will realize it only inside the FEMA camps.

  15. Yep, and then they came for the Jews, except when they found out that I was Jewish, they gave me gefilte fish, wished me Happy Hanukkah, waved good bye and left.

  16. We all know that people will not show an ounce of concern until they get a kick in the nuts…

  17. its personal responsibility.. tyranny comes a knockin, its time to rumble

  18. Time to start over.
