Once tyranny has begun, can it be stopped?

A blogger in North Carolina has been threatened with jail time for
“practicing nutrition without a license” by writing about his
experiences with diabetes and telling readers what types of food he was
eating.






In January, Cooksey received a call from the director of the
nutrition board telling him he was not allowed to offer nutrition advice
without a license and that his website was being investigated. He was
also told that if he did not comply with the “suggestions” in a 19-page report, his website could be shut down and he could be sentenced to up to 120 days in jail.

The first page of the report shows Cooksey responding to an email he
received from a person who is concerned about a friend that has
diabetes. In the response he says, “Your friend must first and foremost
obtain and maintain normal blood sugars.”


The official hand wrote a note in the column saying “assessing and advising requires a license.”

The actions against Cooksey are part of a growing trend by government
officials to crack down on any groups or persons that offer
alternatives to traditional medical treatment.


In 2010, the FDA raided the offices of Daniel Chapter One, a
Christian ministry that promotes a diet based on the bible chapter that
is its namesake after a federal judge refused to allow the FTC to level a
massive fine against the company.

Under Obamacare, the FDA has determined that a person’s own body is considered a drug and subject to regulation.


The Centeno-Schultz clinic in Denver pioneered Regenexx, a treatment
in which a patient’s stem cells are removed, cultivated for two weeks in
a lab then re-injected back into the body. The procedure is used to
treat patients with knee injuries, partial rotator cuff tears in the
shoulder and lower back disc bulges.


In 2008, the FDA informed Dr. Christopher Centeno that it considered
the stem cells to be a drug and subsequently stopped the clinic from
cultivating patients’ stem cells.


“You have the right to go to a doctor and have stem cells taken out
and put back in your body that’s between you and me, it’s not the
business of the federal government” Centeno said.


He said the ramifications are frightening.

In another case involving raw milk, a federal court judge said that
Americans “do not have a fundamental right to consume the milk from
their own cow,” and they “do not have a fundamental right to produce and
consume the foods of their choice.”


The FDA has even suggested that bottled water when used to treat
dehydration should be regulated as a drug. Under the organization’s
“Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by
the Food and Drug Administration,” the agency said it should have the
authority to regulate all vitamins, supplements, herbs and other natural
substances, including water when used to “treat” dehydration.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

O.K. I've had enough of these imbecilic contol freaks trying to run everybody's life as though humans are chess pieces without brains, emotions. Just because the control freaks are mentally challenged does not mean that the rest of humanity is mentally challenged.

I don't know where this deep seated compulsion to control everybody's life comes from. I hope someone who understands these abberations will come forward and explain what has happened to these control freaks' minds that turns them into tyrants. Surely they weren't born that way. Surely there is a way to bring them into normal mental range. Are they this way because they feel powerful, is it because they are mentally skewed as are sadists? Is it related to their early childhood? Were their parents absent a lot of the time. What is WRONG with these people, these control freaks, that no one seems able to help them see that what they are doing is grotesque, abnormal, and is, I believe, bordering on insanity.

    It is difficult to stop, most don't see it till it is to late, as it builds to that point over long periods with little steps of legislation paving the way for the final clampdown.

    It will be stop! Daniel2;34Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

    35Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

    It can be stopped. A long hard fight is expected. See even if the tyrant himself is gone. The politicians still enforce the laws that benefit them. To stop it we need to make sure our leaders don't become powerful as an individual. A rotation process insures that. We have none at this time.

    What if we simply denied them our tax dollars to waste? Send in what we want to fund, make the bureaus, agencies, departments, etc make do with what we send them or they can find another job and close shop.

    Unrealistic. People still follow the TV instead of their minds. The media would label those who do traitors and the sheeple would follow the best presentation. Eliminate their cycle of power. Change them don't cradle them.

    So why are we funding it? Don't misunderstand - I am firmly in your corner, but it seems to me if our government of which we have "ownership" no longer exists, why are we sending money to a government that has ceased serving us?

    Because that same government will put you in jail if you don't. I believe there are too few of us who feel that way. If we were to call for a massive "don't pay your taxes" protest not enough would participate. So those that did could be singled out and punished severely.

    Kinda like our forefathers saw. They were branded as traitors, not many helped them, some were executed for their participation in winning our freedom. What you are saying is that while they had guts, WE don't.

    I've come to think the same. We have some who would fight to the death, but not as many as it seems there should be. But the Fore Fathers had somewhat the same problem, possibly for different reasons. I think the difference is that THEY knew what it was like to not be free - most Americans don't.

    The ballot box has been our way of avoiding tyrants. But we see what happens when the ballot box is so thoroughly tainted that it cannot be trusted. Al Gore tried to steal the election, Bush didn't allow it. The left tried to steal the last election, McCain allowed it, did NOT fight against it. So where does that leave the voter? At the hands of either an honest politician OR at the hands of a tyrannical movement.

    But to answer your question as to what is wrong with such people, it IS insanity. Power attracts sociopaths. We need a filter to screen those types out of every part of government.

    Only resistance can stop tyranny. That gets tricky when resistance is "illegal". So often "revolution" is used, which quite often replaces one Ruler with another, !yippee!

    So always look to the cause; that's where things are fixed. What's the cause?

    The causes:
    1. "We" stopped the commie hunting in the US.
    2. We, at democrats' behest, started paying people to do nothing.
    3. We, at democrats' behest, could not accept that small numbers of people needed the government's help, so we worked to GROW the ranks of the needy so that government could grow more powerful and intrusive.
    4. The Commie sympathizers helped the Commie cause by denigrating our country, our soldiers, our people. People who are united cannot be divided. That "togetherness" had to be stopped! And the Social Democrats did that via bribes and insults, trying to foment guilt for succeeding.
    5. The Commies KNEW there are specific things that must be ruled in order to get crowds onto their side - so over decades, they overtook the field of education and started the dumbing down and the propaganda. They overtook the news media so that they could tell the stories that helped them and nix the stories that they did not want the public to hear. Now they are taking over the health industry so that no one even has medical privacy any more. To a certain extent, I believe they have taken over a lot of the court system, and the entire legal system. They now control the food we grow and eat. They can choose to starve us out if we get too out of line. They have done...

Not everyone believes in it, but no decent American has the right or the need to shut them down or OUT of the political process. Commie followers are NOT decent Americans.
    6. GPS can now keep an eye on where we are at all times.
    7. These people who work to make the Commie dream come true saw to it that Obama was elected because they were ready to make their public move, come out of the closet as it were, ready to put their policies into action, and having control of the Presidency AND the Justice Department, their safety and their aims are assured.
    8. If they must hi-jack an election, they now can - and probably already DO. Not being decent Americans they feel no remorse over cheating their way to power. They will do what they think needs doing in order to have that power. They are NOT one of us. They are the enemy, always have been, and always will be.

    Those things, Striker, are the "cause" as I see it. Now, what's the answer to the cause before they strip us bare?

    The "cause" is Force, as foisted upon the people by Government. A major way of implementing such Force is by taxation for so many things which never received the consent of the Ruled. Since governments never behave as "humans", unless Force can be forbidden amongst it's "lawful" powers, we must learn to do without it. There ARE many happy alternatives, none of which involve being Ruled.

    In jail he would not be able to mislead another into death.

    Tasine, If someone has an alternative treatment for a disease and gets great results from it and by chance one dies, they will shut them down immediately. But cancer doctors can radiate you till you have burn marks and still kill you with chemical treatments and somehow that is fine. I knew someone once that set up a free blood pressure monitoring station and all they did was if the blood pressure was high, ask them to see their doctor, It was a retired nurse that did this, they threatened her with jail time and arrest for practicing medicine and then they wonder why health care costs are high.

    Thank you, I'll look at those.
    Actually, since I figure that most die while under care of some doctor, perhaps the number is much larger. Doctors are in a way like government, treat the effect while ignoring the cause. Small wonder that people die, LOL.
