There Must Be Some Kind of Way Out of Here
By Ezekiel (about the author) Page 2 of 2 page(s)
This Is Not Our Fate
There is, but there won't be for long.
It is still possible to avoid America's economic collapse and detention camps, but just barely. Three factors make it imperative for those who see the light--especially those who are in target groups like Muslims, gays, antiwar activists, atheists--to take action now to escape the coming storm.
Most people are unwilling to completely disrupt their lives on the chance that Bush and Cheney are really crazy enough to take things to the next level. That's understandable.
But isn't it worth investing a little time and money NOW in creating an option for you and your family in case the predictions of war made by people like CIA veteran Ray McGovern, War College teacher emeritus Sam Gardiner and Daniel Ellsberg are correct? You can move some assets, gather documents, even begin establishing a basis for residency in another country while you continue working and living where you are now.
If there is no attack on Iran, if the Democrats take both houses of Congress AND get a backbone, if Bush and Cheney are bunking together in Leavenworth by the end of next year, you've spent a few thousand dollars for an insurance policy upon which you didn't have to collect. That's always the best outcome.
On the other hand, if it's even more apparent three weeks from now that it's a "go" for an attack, you won't be lying awake at 3 AM and wondering what you'll do if the Bill of Rights heads down the memory hole. By then, you could have some start-up money tucked away abroad, your residency documents in hand and maybe even an overseas company created that can be your way to earn a living if you relocate.
Maybe you've been doing everything you could to stop the insanity that seems to have taken over the United States. Or perhaps you've never been all that interested in politics, but things are getting to the point now that you're scared for your safety and the well-being of your family.
Whichever is the case, there is no shame in leaving a country that's headed for fascism.
Albert Einstein was a target of the Nazis even before they assumed power. They hated him for his genius and because he was Jewish. As soon as Hitler was appointed Chancellor, and months before Germany had become a totalitarian state, Einstein decided he would not remain in his homeland. Here's what he told reporters:
"As long as I have any choice in the matter, I shall live only in a country where civil liberty, tolerance and equality of all citizens before the law prevail."
Just because you happen to live in the United States doesn't mean that it's your fate to become the victim of the fascists who are at the brink of having complete control over that country.
Today you still have a choice--that choice about which Einstein spoke.
In another six weeks, that choice may be gone.
