Greece Reality

Submitted by Simon Black via Sovereign Man blog,
Imagine coming home from work and finding that a group
of men have broken into your house. What do you do?
I have a gratified feeling that for an increasing number of our
readers, the answer would be to draw their firearm and defend
the home.
But its safe to say most folks would call the police.
This happened in Greece recently, as recounted to me in an
email by a colleague who was visiting his family in a rural,
seaside town in the countrys southern mainland.
Theres recently been rash of home burglaries in the village a
remarkable turn of events for a place accustomed to leaving
windows and doors unlocked.
In one instance, a local resident came home and spied a thief in
progress; he immediately called the police to dispatch a unit as
quickly as possible. And the police reportedly told the man, We
havent enough fuel to come out there right now.
It shouldnt come as a surprise to hear that public services are
being cut back in Greece given how messed up their economy is.
But protecting citizens against crime is supposedly one of
the sacrosanct terms of the social contract.
Citizens around the world have exchanged their freedom
for security. Its a completely absurd trade. . . but
nevertheless its happened.
And in doing so, governments have essentially monopolized the
security business. By and large, police and security are public
services provide exclusively by the government.
And supposedly the taxes that we all pay go to fund those
services. . . ensuring that someone from the government will
come and save us when the bad guys approach.
Thats the promise, at least.
But in difficult economic times, bankrupt governments
routinely set aside promises theyve made to taxpayers.
They slash pension (social security) benefits or use funky gorilla
math to understate cost of living increases.
They completely violate the sacred vow of maintaining a strong,
sound currency.
And they drastically reduce or even eliminate funding for critical
services that people have come to depend on.

Of course, this situation isnt unique to Greece. Every
bankrupt nation reaches this point sooner or later.
Recently in [bankrupt] Argentina, a single police officer
was left in charge of an entire jail in the Buenos Aires
area which was housing several dozen prisoners.
The lone officer, who was clearly in over her head and
poorly trained, heard suspicious noises somewhere in the
building. So what did she do? She (a police officer) called
the police.
Argentine media has published a recording of the officers
911 call, where the emergency dispatcher told the officer
to get a colleague to try and stop by.
Oh hey, I hope youre not too busy issuing parking tickets and
providing security for thieving politicians would you mind
making sure we dont have a prison break on our hands?
But the police officers response really reveals just how
desperate the situation is, I have only one vehicle to patrol the
whole district.
Again, these arent isolated events. This is a major trend that is
due to befall any bankrupt government.
Think about it: are we really so arrogant to believe that a
bankrupt government can continue to borrow money
forever without consequence?
Bottom line: independence is key. You cannot rely on a
bankrupt government to provide the services that they
promise.
That goes for anything from providing basic security to insuring
bank deposits to paying out Social Security benefits.
They simply dont have the financial means to make good on
their promises.
And this is a reality thats important to recognize and
prepare for before its too late.

Oh they might shoot it or leave it in the police car in the

I dont need to
call 911. I have my firearms and can shoot anybody
who gets in my house or any other places (Texas).
LawsofPhysics
Ditto. What
part of "A well

necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the
people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
don't people understand?
lordylord
"I dont need

firearms and can
shoot anybody who gets in my house or any other places
(Texas)."
In a lot of states, you would go to jail for that. In NJ,
you're life has to be threathened AND you have to prove
it. Now imagining trying to protect you and your family,
but first you have to stop and decide if there is enough
evidence to keep you from going to jail for 20 years if you
shoot the guy. Crazy.
LawsofPhysics
Well, dead
men tell no
tales. Just
make sure you
are the only witness left. Come on, in NJ money talks
and bullshit walks, that's obvious.
lordylord
"Well, dead
men tell no
tales. "
Doesn't matter if the guy is dead. There better be
at least a knife in the guy's hand. You're suppose
to back off and let the guy steal what he wants. If
you can't prove that your life was threatened, you
are fucked.

there you go. In NJ such activities
are hardly noticed.

Again, the "law" in NJ is pretty clear. If
he doesn't have a knife (aside from
something that's easy to plant), you
simply need a more expensive attorney. Not

Watched a
snatch and dash here yesterday.
Food 4 Less store here in Phoenix, between monsoons.
Couple of crackheads snatched some meat from the cold
case. One small clerk dude, Braveheart in his own way, tried
to stop them and they got into a scuffle. When a group of us
customers made a move to intervene they booked on their
shitty Walmart bikes.
Clerk told me a moment later they stole his cellphone just as
he was calling 9-11. I suggested we get into my car, follow at
slow speed, (and run 'em over) and call the coppers with my
cell when we spot 'em again.
Instead he clocked out and roared after them in his own car.
Road Warrior Interceptor type. Hope they don't actually
"cross" his path. Anyways, TEN minutes later patrol car
shows up.
"When seconds count, police are minutes away." Ten in this
case.
At least we have open carry/ conceal carry here. Might get
me one some day.

Bridgeport Ct in the 1990's. Cops would answer a call and go
to the address...after that took care of business they would
sit there and wait for the next call. Not enough money to

Listen. I like Simon. But trust me locks are too easy to pick
and expect the unexpected. You have to plan for your
deepest state of REM sleep.
Get a simple wireless remotely activated sensor. Put the
motion detector in "YOUR" strategic location(hallway, doors,
you figure it out) and put the receiver next to your bed.
Muffle the reciever with a towel so only you can hear it but
make sure it's loud enough to wake you from deep REM.
Don't guess, test it.
Loaded, at the ready weapon, in close reach. Quickly pull it
under your sleeping linens and pretend as if you are asleep.
Confirm your target is not friendly and fire.

"As the ligatures or strings do knit together the joints of all
the parts of the body, so doth ligeance join together the
Sovereign and all his subjects, quasi uno ligamine. Glanville,
who wrote in the reign of H. 2. lib. 9. cap. 4. speaking of the
connexion which ought to be between the lord and tenant
that holdeth by hone saith, that mutua debet esse domini et
fide litatis connexion ita quod quantum debet omino ex
homagio, tantum illi debet dominus ex dominio, prter solam
reverentiam, and the lord, (saith he) ought to defend his
tenant. But between the Sovereign and the subject there is
without comparison a higher and greater connexion: for as
the subject oweth to the King his true and faithful ligeance
and obedience, so the Sovereign is to govern and protect his
subjects...so as between the Sovereign and subject there is
duplex et reciprocum ligamen."
"ligeance is the mutual bond and obligation between the King
and his subjects, whereby subjects are called his liege
subjects, because they are bound to obey and serve him; and
he is called their liege lord, because he should maintain and
defend them."

"The term citizen as understood in our law is precisely
analogous to the term subject in the common law and the
change of phrases has entirely resulted from the change of
government The sovereignty has been changed from one
man to the collective body of the people and he who before
was a subject of the king is now a citizen of the State."
State v Manuel 20 NC 122 129 quoted in US v Rhodes


ergo, there is no state, there are no citizens.

Just completed
my Concealed Weapons Permit training. The
Instructor said "If your feel threatened...shoot to kill...not in

When it happens
in the US it will be catastrophic. Because we aren't
prepared for when those checks stop coming or the
police decide either not to come or to participate in the mob
rule. As a nation we are a third world one with a first world
facade. Once we are shown we are third world, all hell is
going to break loose.
