I believe many in America are sitting around expecting and anticipating that others will do the hard work of defending their liberty... It also appears the wealthy have decided to play both sides of the aisle, being unwilling to commit to the restoration of the Republic, they are attempting to leverage advantage from the demise of their neighbor. Thinking to cut a deal, to seek an angle, they look to capitalize on the dissolution of the WHOLE... the Republic, The captains of Industry believe they can wrestle with the devil and win.
However, the situation is becoming critical and the wealthy will soon find that they are not immune to History... the inevitable purge and stripping away of their power and wealth is at hand. With the advent of recent financial regulations, wealth will no longer be easily moved or concealed, the accounts of the wealthy will be laid bare, at the hand of the socialists. Once, the Marxists seize total power, the rich will receive their just reward, for the support they rendered to their neighbor and the nation. The wealthy will be among the first, to be loaded in the box cars, headed for the FEMA Camps. The Marxists will not permit their nemesis to organize a counter-revolution.
Check history ... Russia, China, Cuba, Cambodia, Nicaragua. The Marxist's pattern for revolution, the Fundamental Transformation of Nations, is always the same. Destroy the middle class, expand government dependency and those in poverty; take control of the government, and then disarm the wealthy of their power. Take the ability to wage a counter-revolution away, by stripping the ability to resource one.
First, they came for the dissident and we did nothing, then they came for the Patriots and the people said, we are not Patriots. Next, they came for the baker and cake maker, the plumber and carpenter, accountants and retailers, and the nation stood by watching. Then they came for our neighbor, as we hid our faces. Finally, they came for us and we tried to resist but found no one left to help... Our family, friends, and neighbors were already captives.
The rich risk little... thinking to purchase a haven, a place out of sight, secure and far from the reach of their enemies. However, the middle class risks it all... what little they have... as they assemble in protest, leaving their jobs to others, they open their homes to an uncertain day... With their wages abandoned and neglected, these dissidents and Patriots stand to lose it all.
What then do the rich venture? A few million of their billions? Think it not equitable, that the middle class is expected to bare the suffrage and weight of liberty's struggle; as the rich wager and bargain away their brother's and sister's blood, for a little more time; too, barter a better deal and a higher place in the new world order? Are these not the same who abandoned the many on the field at Falkirk and let run red the blood of their workers and tenant's sons, upon the plains of history? Shame be upon their head, let the moth devour their holdings and the worm their purse.
For, these foolish men lay more store in the multitude of their wealth... than in the common good which produced such wealth. Little do the powerful understand, that when the hammer falls and the doors of liberty are closed; when, the middle class lies broken and bankrupt alongside the poor; the mighty captains of industry will no longer find a way to barter a better course: Too, reopen the doors of liberty, nor to restore their lands, titles, nobility, and holdings. They will soon find the people do not exist to serve them. Instead, they shall discover their wealth exists because liberty served the common good of all. That, whenever liberty no longer services all men, the rich will find the well of their wealth and power has gone dry.
Why then do the wealthy and powerful withhold their support for the common cause of liberty... thinking to negotiate a better course for their security? They think to secure their wealth from the hand of poverty and compromise with Marxist despots. Let the wealthy choose today whom they shall serve... the common good or their bellies?

With 1000 new arrests in the offing.... who will be next? What is the GOP doing? It is becoming clear that the GOP is unwilling to defend its base. This is beginning to look like the after math of the Nazi Rich-Stag fire and the rounding up of all the political opposition to Hitler in Nazi Germany....
One doesn't barter for a better deal with the Devil and win... The wealthy think to manipulate evil men. However, the seed of Satan is not so easily turned or leveraged for advantage. One is more likley to end up in the 'FIRE' instead of the frying pan when they deal with those running our government today.
