Dr. John Bergman - Embrace Civil Disobedience

There are times when we have to take a stand, a threat to justice any where is a threat to justice every where.

What we have are a lot of changes in society today. Look around you, can you name a few?

Our country cannot exist much longer. Democracy has a life span, it only lasts until people figure out they can vote for free stuff and vote to be taken care of from cradle to grave.

Complacency to apathy is the progression. 

Did you know that in the last 2 months, they built a border crossing to keep Americans in America? That’s right, no one is talking about this, why?

Listen to dr john Bergman explain what is happening right now across America and what is to follow.

There will be a time when Civil Disobedience will sweep this country like nothing you have ever experienced before. More and more people are tapping out. 

Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of a governmentor occupying international power. By some definitions[specify], civil disobedience has to be nonviolent to be called ‘civil’. Hence, civil disobedience is sometimes equated with peaceful protests or nonviolent resistance.[1][2]

Although civil disobedience is considered to be an expression of contempt for law, Martin Luther King Jr. regarded civil disobedience to be a display and practice of reverence for law: “Any man who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community on the injustice of the law is at that moment expressing the very highest respect for law.”[3]

This American government- what is it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity?

It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will. It is a sort of wooden gun to the people themselves.

But it is not the less necessary for this; for the people must have some complicated machinery or other, and hear its din, to satisfy that idea of government which they have.

Governments show thus how successfully men can be imposed on, even impose on themselves, for their own advantage. It is excellent, we must all allow.

Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate.

The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way.

For government is an expedient by which men would fain succeed in letting one another alone; and, as has been said, when it is most expedient, the governed are most let alone by it.
