The Boston Tea Party Today—what does it look like?—can we do it?
Or is it one more item on the list we can’t touch for lack of willpower? (along with impeachment of judges, impeachment of president, changing Congress, taking back our government by force)
The Boston Tea Party of 1773 (catalyst for the Revolution) is not the Tea Party movement of today—at least not yet.*
My prediction and my question for several years now has been this:
Violence is coming to the streets of America. Will it be productive violence, or like Tiananmen Square in China? However, the student leader of that protest declares today that it was not in vain. (Likewise, “Remember the Alamo” is not just for Texans anymore—it is a freedom cry for anyone.)
What will the Boston Tea Party Today look like, drawing parallels with the original? What effect will technology have? What difference will the internet make on the next American (Texan) Revolution?
And now, the most jaw-dropping question of all, that freedom loving leaders must address in very practical terms (for personal survival and military readiness) is this: What is the greater impact of technology and the internet on the Freedom Revolution, dealing with their absence in the wake of EMP’s.
Strategies of days gone by may return at any time. Will anyone be ready to lead, as in “hang together, or hang separately”?
