This Is How It Begins (Wanton Violence)

This is not the sort of thing you want to report on.
But I need to, because what looked like an accident originally – a horrible accident, with a plane on approach that had some sort of mechanical problem – now looks to be something else.
AUSTIN, TX (myFOXaustin) – A small aircraft plane has crashed into a 7-story office building in North Austin near Mopac and 183. The plane crashed into the Echelon building around 10 a.m. Thursday morning. Police have blocked off access roads around the building.
….
According to Corp. Scott Perry with APD several federal offices were located inside the building that was struck by the plane. Officials with NTSB say that IRS offices were some of the federal offices.
CNBS is reporting that there is "no indication that this was an act of terrorism or otherwise intentional." Oh really? Then how come CNBC is claiming on-air that the man involved set fire to his own house first? Oh, and Fox News just stated that the name of the pilot was…. Mr. Joe Stack.
I know I’m hardly the first one to decide I have had all I can stand. It has always been a myth that people have stopped dying for their freedom in this country, and it isn’t limited to the blacks, and poor immigrants. I know there have been countless before me and there are sure to be as many after. But I also know that by not adding my body to the count, I insure nothing will change. I choose to not keep looking over my shoulder at “big brother” while he strips my carcass, I choose not to ignore what is going on all around me, I choose not to pretend that business as usual won’t continue; I have just had enough.
I can only hope that the numbers quickly get too big to be white washed and ignored that the American zombies wake up and revolt; it will take nothing less. I would only hope that by striking a nerve that stimulates the inevitable double standard, knee-jerk government reaction that results in more stupid draconian restrictions people wake up and begin to see the pompous political thugs and their mindless minions for what they are. Sadly, though I spent my entire life trying to believe it wasn’t so, but violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer. The cruel joke is that the really big chunks of shit at the top have known this all along and have been laughing, at and using this awareness against, fools like me all along.
I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let’s try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well.
Eek. That’s a homicide note folks, as distinct from a suicide note in that he has declared that the acts to follow are intended to kill others.
I have archived the entire screed, as I fully expect it to "disappear" very soon. If it does, I’ll fix the link with one to my archived copy.

Any questions?
Stop lying you media whores. It took me 30 seconds to uncover this – this is a raw claim of an intentional act published on the Internet – an act of a desperate man taken with the claimed intent of provoking a reaction and ultimately armed violence.
Let me make myself clear: this sort of "political statement" is exactly what this nation does not need.
I have repeatedly warned about the probable response if the population decides that the government is a felon instead of the cops. Among some of the points I have made:
Should the people come to the conclusion that The Government is in fact a felon – should there be no enforcement at the state level, no realmove to "take back" authority vested in The Constitution, returning it to the states and to rein in the crooks, subjecting them to the just desserts for their crimes, there is a very real risk that The People will decide that there is only one way to obtain justice: through the actions of their own hand.
Lest you think this is an unrealistic view, I direct you to Mexico, where the police have become so corrupt that the people are now catching burglars and torturing them on their own. Vigilante justice is swift, certain, and brutal.
But it is the logical and expected outcome when the people reach the breaking point. Those who believe it "can’t happen here" are deluded – it both can and will if our government does not stop condoning and in fact conspiring with the crooks that have robbed the people of this nation.
And by the way, this is not just some "crackpot Internet blogger" saying that the nation has been looted. How about William Black, a recognizednational expert, one of the people who prosecuted the fraud in the S&L Crisis, and who has said, in part:
WILLIAM BLACK: In the savings and loan crisis, where the national commission finds that the typical large failure fraud was invariably present, we had over 1,000 convictions of senior insiders, what the FBI referred to as priority cases. At this stage among the subprime lending specialists, we have zero convictions. We have zero indictments.
PAUL SOLMAN: So, what would you do?
WILLIAM BLACK: I would prosecute the felons.
So, in September 2004, the FBI began publicly warning that there was — quote, unquote — "epidemic" of mortgage fraud, and it predicted that it would produce an economic crisis, if it were not dealt with. The FBI has also said that 80 percent of the mortgage fraud losses occur when lender personnel are involved. So, Fitch looks at a small sample of these loans, finally, in November 2007.
PAUL SOLMAN: Fitch is one of the ratings agencies?
WILLIAM BLACK: Yes. It’s the smallest of the big three.
What did they find? They said, the results were disconcerting, in that there was the appearance of fraud in nearly every file we examined. And they said that normal underwriting would have detected all of those frauds.
History tells us what the response is to "Let them eat cake", and I do not wish to witness a repeat of that ugly episode in the United States! Our Constitution and system of laws is supposed to make that impossible, but as we have seen, it doesn’t seem to have worked all that well over the last two decades, has it?
STOP THE LOOTING AND START PROSECUTING!
