The Liberty Tree Lantern

The majority of the following TRUE story, below, of recorded history is written by a Mr. Greg Perry but has been augmented by yours truly, Capt. Karl.  I have written, in The Liberty Tree Lantern and in various Internet forums, about the 300 and the battle at Thermopylae.   

I have forecasted for years that we Americans would be given no choice but to go to war; a combination Civil / Re-Revolutionary War, in support of the very word of LAW as written word for word, in the Constitution, to the very spirit and intent as it WAS meant, per DIRECT writings of our Founding Fathers, before it was disparaged by attorneys, the U.S. Congress, The Supreme Court and various Administrations through decades of contempt, which is the very reason and foundational basis for our current financial crisis and economic collapse. 

The U.S. Congress / Government will give us no choice, but to war, because they have NO CHOICE but to tax us at least 80% to as much as 90% of our earnings to pay for Socialist Security and Medicare ALONE, which is $90 TRILLION Dollars in UNFUNDED liabilities, over the infinite horizon, ALONE, according to The Washington Times.  This is in ADDITION to all the bailouts, TARP, TALF, BARF, Communist / Socialistporkulus program spending package(s) etc, etc, etc…  By the time Congress gets done with us taxpayers we taxpayers will owe far in excess of $100,000,000,000,000.00 Dollars, none of which we personally spent on anything We wanted or needed.   Why did we let the mass behavior modification of our minds, by The Trilateral Commission, public schools (multiculturalism, OVER tolerance, feminism and lack of American history and Freedom/Liberty education) to beguile us into letting any damn Government from “taking care” of everything for us and then some of us believing that these idiots know how to run our lives and spend our earnings better, for us, than we do ourselves?  What the heck was a matter with us?  This is all our own faults for being so lazy and letting our minds get so “modified” brainwashed, especially away from God.

Since none of us can live on only 10% – 20% of our earnings, there will be NO CHOICE but to go to war to protect ourselves from:

1.      People who want all sorts of “free” services and entitlements from the taxpayers like Socialist Security and Medicare, Universal Health Care, etc, etc, etc,,, that we just cannot afford and be able to have living level finances left for us and our own families.

2.      The Socialist / Communist / Fascist tyrannical, usurping, despots in all branches of The U.S. Government and

3.      Forces of The Federal Reserve “System” that controls our Government through money manipulation and extortion, and who is a private international foreign cartel company of twelve private banking firms.  The 40 private mostly foreign owners of The Federal Reserve founded and are the leaders of The Trilateral Commission who has been working to destroy our nation through mass behavior modification techniques designed to tear apart the family unit and fellowship between Americans so that they could divide and conquer.  By causing division between spouses The Federal Reserve company has been able to extract taxes from two members of each family rather than only one.  All income taxes go directly to this humongous private company according to the publically available Grace Commission Report to President Reagan.  No income taxes go to the U.S. Treasury.  All money used by the U.S. Government is begged from “The Fed” who lends our income taxes out to The Government as long as they are a “safe investment” and acquiesce to “advice they can’t refuse”, if you catch my drift.

 

And Now Here’s The (True) Story:

2,500 years ago a Persian Emperor named Xerxes (You might recall his name as Obama) roamed his part of the earth battling, conquering, and doing general emperor-like things (such as Executive Orders); to the armies and countries that got in his way. Xerxes thought his little Persian (Federal Reserve) empire should stretch far outside its home territory, the area we know as Iran (Washington D.C.) today.

Xerxes created a fierce fighting force of 600,000 well-trained men. It was a really bad “pit bull” troop. The kind of troop (Like Chief of Staff  Rahm Emanuel) that didn’t like to sit around. The kind of troop that killed entire countries.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Greece (Small Town America)

Xerxes wanted Greece (America via absolute power). Greece was a historical marvel, a center of art, sculpture, architecture, commerce, and a former world-ruling empire. Just as all good Democrats and Republicans think today, Xerxes (Obama and the Owners of The Federal Reserve “System”) thought the best way to get his hands on all those goodies in Greece (America) was to steal (tax) them from their rightful owners.

Some in Greece (Americans) weren’t sure if the battle was coming and wanted to live in denial. They didn’t take steps to prepare a defense for their country for an army of the Persian size.

Eventually the Greeks (Americans) came to know that the Persians were coming, but they were not prepared and felt that they were only left with “negotiating and accommodating” their (Congressional) enemies, as the problem was that they had very little time to prepare.

A Spartan General and King named Leonidas took 300 fighting men and placed them and himself between Persia’s 600,000 advancing troops and the area where the larger Greek army (American Patriots) was formulating a defense. That initial battle would be 300 men against 600,000. The odds didn’t look promising.  (Sounds like American farmers and our old Government during the Revolutionary War, doesn’t it?)

I’ll spoil it for you ahead of time. The 300 lost the battle.

That lost battle was significant however. Somehow, through superior professionally trained fighting skills, war tactics, perspicuously planned strategies well executed by motivated and dedicated warriors; those 300 men held off the 600,000 invading Persians for weeks, long enough for Greece to plan their defense, set up a stronghold front, and ultimately keep Persia’s Xerxes (Obama and “The Fed”) from his prize.  The 300 Spartans have been credited by historians to be the basis for the Western civilization and freedom as we know it (well at least for awhile yet) today.

A Quick Time-Out to Help Public School Geography and History Teachers

If you teach geography or history in the public schools, you’re no doubt confused. You should know that Greece is a country in southern Europe. When a country is said to be southern, that means it’s lower than others on a map. Grease (spelled with an a) is the stuff in skillets that was one of the things that initially confused you about all this.

What you probably don’t know is that Europe is located east (it’s probably easier for you to think “to the right”) of America across the Atlantic Ocean. Just go up to New York City and take a hard right; in a couple of thousand miles or so you’ll be getting close to Europe.

If you want to know more about Greece, Persia, and other things like geography and history, just ask any homeschooled student. He or she can fill you in on all the details that you’re lacking.

And now back to the 300.

We’ll Protect You

Keep in mind that those 300 Spartan men sent to hold off the invading 600,000-man Persian army did not win the battle. They eventually lost, primarily do to one unpreventable weakness in their planned venue of battle and the shear numbers of the enemy.

The 600,000 Persians thought that the little Greek army led by Leonidas wouldn’t be a problem. Just a minor stepping-stone on their way into Greece. Like any warrior, however, the Persian leader Xerxes (Like any politician such as Obama) knew it would be better to get the Spartans on his side than to expend the time and minor casualties to fight them.

 

 

That’s why the Persian Emperor Xerxes (Obama) sent word to the Spartan (American) community(ies), whose male children were trained from the age of 5 to be professional highly skilled/trained warriors of supreme honor and courage: We will spare every one of your lives. All you need to do is disarm yourselves. Put down your weapons (Disavow The Constitution “for your own good”) and you will live (And, we The Government, will take care of you).  This is what Capt. Karl calls “The Final Ultimatum”.  And it is coming, people,  MARK  MY  WORDS.

 It’s a lot like what the Third Reich told many in Poland and elsewhere right before they spent the next few years firebombing those who lay down their guns.

It’s a lot like Janet Reno told the wacky David Koresh and his church in Waco right before she firebombed and slaughtered all those children.

It’s a lot like what your government has been moving toward since the 1934 National Firearms Registration Act started the same ball rolling here.

“Give us your weapons. You don’t need them. We’re from the government. We’re here to help. We will protect you.”

Molon Labe

When the 300 Greeks heard that all they had to do was to give up their weapons to live, they didn’t do what hundreds of thousands of Jews and other victims did 7 decades ago.

They didn’t do what millions of British have done in the past 2 decades, seeing an intense exponential increase in violent crime ever since.

They didn’t do what probably millions of Americans will do over the next few years as older generations who understand the importance of freedom, personal responsibility, and personal protection pass away.

What they did do was this: The Spartans sent two words back to the 600,000 Persian’s and Xerxes (Obama) who requested their weapons “for their own good”.

“Molon labe.”

 

Translation: Come and take them!

 

Now, my fellow countrymen, my ONLY question is this; When we send back our two words to Washington “Molon labe“ are we going to be referring to our earnings, our guns or BOTH?

I am going to see if I can purchase a “Molon labe“ flag to bring along to

The Madison, WI Tea Party on April 15^th along with my first American “Peoples” flag of freedom called the Gadsden Flag.  – -  Capt. Karl

 

The Result of Molon Labe

Many LewRockell.com readers will understand the importance of this battle. It took something special for 300 men to hold off 600,000 invaders long enough to give their fellow countrymen time to build a suitable defense, one that was probably the largest defense the little country of Greece had ever needed to assemble.

Real men (and real women) will not lay down their weapons along with their freedoms and give up. Not even in the face of 600,000 warriors.

A writer named Boston T. Party wrote a modern-day account of Molon Labe. His book, entitled Molon Labe appropriately enough, tells how a handful of Libertarian-like freedom lovers refused to lay down their weapons against the massive invading force called the United States Government. I wrote about one of Boston T’s other books called Boston’s Gun Bible in another Lew Rockwell article a few years ago (Don’t Bring Ayn Rand to a Gunfight). Some of you responded in a big way to that article. Some of you are now better trained with your weapon than you were. I’m grateful that my little column affected some of you in that way.

But never fear because the Obama Administration will herd us like a bunch of poor cattle into huge Government apartment complexes, “projects” in the inner core of our cities, with plenty of surveillance TV cameras and listening devices on us to “protect us” from “Domestic Terrorist” militia or evil thought.   Militias are not taking our rights, freedom, liberty or earnings away from us.  Militias have not caused our economy to collapse.  Militias have not created Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae like Congrssmen Barney (FREDDIE /FANNIE) Frank or Honest (AIG) bonus ammendment Christopher Dodd, or honest Charlie tax head Rangel.

• Our government has withheld over 80% of our earnings from our paychecks,
• Congress and the merciful Obama Administration cause rocketing gasoline, heat, light and electricity prices far beyond our massively taxed ability to pay for it by not allowing DOMESTIC leases to go through, which Secretary of the Interior Salazar has done, so that we could have been energy independent with cheap DOMESTIC energy resources ultimately resulting in the price of food to go sky high and our children are starving and cold because we have lost our freedom and our homes.

A glimpse into the near future as our Spartan Patriots defend our nation, our people, our freedom, our liberty, our property, our God given rights and our earnings from the treachery of our Federal Government usurping, lying despotic tyrants.
