What would you do if you woke one morning to find that in the darkness of night, the government of your own country had laid siege to the church down the street, shooting and killing those who tried to escape while the church burned to the ground. What would you do when you found that almost a hundred men, women and children had been shot, gassed and burned to death. What would you do when you found that the attackers were from many different government agencies, including the US Military and that no crimes had been committed by any of those murdered, with the entire operation based on false and perjured information.

If you think that Waco, Texas is the only place this has happened, you would be very wrong.

Would you find a way to work for justice for the murdered people and the survivors who were jailed and persecuted, or would you figure they must have done "something" to deserve it and put it out of your mind?

What would you do?

What would you do if you learned tomorrow that the US Military had invaded another country that could not possibly represent any threat to the US, bombing the civilian population and killing thousands of men, women and children. What would you do if you learned that the people of that country had been [starved] and bombed daily by the US government for over ten years before this invasion.

Iraq is just the latest of a long list of such countries the US government has invaded and destroyed.

What would you do if you learned that all of the reasons given by the US government for this naked act of aggression were lies. Would you decide that all US military action outside of defending the US borders was wrong and should be stopped, or would you figure you couldn't do anything about it anyway and just finish your vacation plans?

What would you do?

What would you do if 400 FBI agents laid siege to your neighbor, shot his son and a nursing mother with a child in her arms from long range simply because her husband owned a shotgun the government did not approve of?

Randy Weaver isn't the only person this has happened to. It is fast becoming the favorite pastime for police departments, state and federal "law enforcement" agencies all over the country.

What would you do if you heard that your neighbor was cleared of all criminal charges, but the gunman was admitted to the witness protection program for his own safety? Would you join in a demand for justice and punishment of those responsible, or would you look through the TV listings to find a good movie?

What would you do?

What would you do if you heard your state was being invaded by criminals and indigent people who committed vandalism, robbery and murder at will, while citizens who tried to prevent this invasion were harassed and arrested by the Federal agents who should have been working to repel the invasion instead. It is happening right this minute on the Mexican border all across the nation.

Would you patrol your property and defend your family, or just change the channel on the TV and pop another beer?

What would you do?

Every action and every bit of property is increasingly subject to "approval" by some government "authority" or another, with more and more ordinary things becoming "illegal" all the time. Even our speech and thoughts are under government control and our rights to live as free human beings are rapidly being stripped from us.

What would you do if the call went out to end the abuse and murder going on all around us, to stand up to government, with your neighbors and friends, to say "never again"? Would you take action, whatever was at hand to do, or would you close the door and call your neighbors fools for rocking the boat?

What will you do when the US/UN soldiers march down your street and ransack your business and home, taking whatever suits them and killing anyone who resists? What could you do then but watch your family abused or murdered, or die trying to defend them -- then.

What will you do?

It's time for deep reflection on personal values and priorities. Countless crimes like these are committed by government agents at all levels every day. They move fast to squash dissent or any threat to their false authority. More and more illegal and bogus "laws" are enacted every day. The noose is tightening rapidly and the time for action is upon us.

What will you do?
