If you ask me, I'd say that Titor guy is nuts. He does have one good point:
"The constitution is not the problem, it is the ignorance of the people that live under it."
The purpose pf the Bill of Rights is to preserve individual freedom and prevent tyranny. I use the first amendment to say: It is the 2nd amendment which guarantees all the others.
An informed, well armed population is extremely difficult to control. The US operates under a system of capitalism. This is not really an ISM, but what people do naturally when the government is not able to control them. If the government takes away our weapons, we will simply fashion new ones from available material.
The US has been moving towards socialism ever since FDR's New Deal. The first thing that must be controlled is communications. This is the purview of the FCC. The government has made it clear, with the Emergency Broadcast System, that in event of national emergency, it will assume control of all radio and television broadcasts under the guise of "Official news and information". Newspeak for "Propaganda Ministry."
This controls the ability of the people to kow what is going on.
Next, you must limit the ability of people to assemble peacefully, travel, engage in commerce. This is done through the Department of Transportation, Department of Commerce, and through lifting the requirement for the Writ of Habeas Corpus, all would be under the umbrella authortity of FEMA.
The objective is to transform people into sheep. If they do not comply, simply confiscate their possessions. They still don't comply, involuntary relocation and work assignment. Non-compliance after that, the person becomes Orwell's unperson.
Once you have the population turned into sheep, you have control. You have a single force acting in unison to carry out public policy for the greater good as determined by a select few in power. Typically, the "greater good" is to preserve the union at the expense of the Patrick Henry's out there.
I have little use for authority. This has caused some difficulties for me in the past regarding employment especially. I'm digressing...
To preserve the country by stripping the freedoms of the people for the greater benefit of the general welfare is a contradiction. Once the powers that be strip our freedoms, it is no longer the same country, so what are they trying to do? They are trying to do what is best. By definition, what is best for them, is what is best. It may not be the best for you, but it is best for the government. This is what makes government an inherently evil entity. It looks after itself without regard to the people being governed. A government may start out being beneficial to most people, eventually, it will look after its own interests. This is what the US government has evolved into. This is why no government can become a permanent government and will eventually fail. This is the nature of man.
