How to Resist Government Oppression

Here is a series of videos that should be standard viewing for anyone desiring to enter international trade.

The fellow who posted the videos had this comment to make, inter alia...

"The government is not being inconsistent."

This is why the bad guys will win.  The assumption that if we just get the right people in government all will be well is fallacious.  Government has no role in regulating food supply.  It is by the very act of regulation that they put a halo on violence.

Before the good woman revealed her politics in the films above, I could see she was a marxist, since she had her facts straight.  We miss much when we do not listen to Marxist history.  In her third talk she calls for democracy and conflates free markets and fascism.  This is an unfortunate non-sequitor that puts people off.  Hitler and Mussolini changed regulations, but they did not eliminate them.  In fact national socialism is heightened regulation, exactly what USA is under right now.

What will save Estrella, the small cheese company being destroyed by a FDA supernumerary,  is free markets, not "the right people in power."

Also, the "right people in power" launches everyone off on a quixotic journey.  What we need to recognize is Estrella is targeted by one person, abusing his power, in order to gain promotion as the crackdowns widen.   If he is successful, he will be promoted.

The tactic being used to defend Estrella is expected, it is how everyone responds.  Estrella can win if they adopt another tactic.  Do not fight the FDA, everyone loves the FDA, however unrequited.  End out who the rogue FDA agent is, the bounder, and argue against his actions.

Next, fire your lawyer, and demand the US Attorney take this to trial.  Demand a jury.  And defend yourself, pro se.  Yes, you will face a blizzard of resistance and foot dragging, but the moment you get an answer from the US Attorney in any form, your tormentor must begin to be careful. You will begin to get the upper hand. It is all creativity after that, and then you truly have the upper hand, because you play by your rules, not theirs.

The system depends on your faith in them, everyone's tendency toward Stockholm Syndrome, and the fact that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.  Your body will give up the fight before you spirit is ready.  In short, you'll get sick, and they win.  They know this.

So, fight the good fight.  Take on a merry attitude, take this directly to the US Attorney, and demand to be prosecuted or left alone.  Cast the fight as you against a rogue FDA agent. Nonviolent resistence, it is our only hope for good cheese.
