After reading some of these responses I now know why there is so much tyranny!
You would not want to hear what my opinion is of anyone who is not willing to take the high moral ground and tell tyranical governments that want to point a weapon at someones head for "horrible" things like reading the wrong book they have crossed the line in the sand. There is a line in the sand and repeatedly governments everywhere have crossed it, and in America if they cross that line again it going to probably cost their lives.
In the meantime I've lost my patience with most philosophers thinking it's going to go away by thinking about it. Which is in contrast to freedom loving Americans getting ready to respond to a tyrannical government who brandish the weapon constantly saying do what we say or else.
It should be remembered that the RIGHT of law enforcement to carry that weapon comes from the people. And when the people say stop go no further and the tyrannical government won't stop.... we are suppose to hum and contemplate our navel?
I'm sorry but I bet Tibetan monks hum better than anyone on this forum and they live free in Tibet right?
When Ghandi marched to the sea, not one solitary person died right?
There is no doubt in my mind that there is a golden age coming, but it will come at a price. Our possession of that golden age is not in the plans of the current ruling elite. The current ruling elite are so pathologically diabolical that normal minds cannot even comprehend the evil. And they are willing to kill to keep that age from coming. No they make no sense, but remember the minds of these people are sick.
To quote Ben Franklin
'They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
The first variant was written by Franklin, with quotation marks but almost certainly his original thought, sometime shortly before February 17, 1775 as part of his notes for a proposition at the Pennsylvania Assembly. See Memoirs of the life and writings of Benjamin Franklin. [1]
The second variant was used as a motto on the title page of An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania. (1759) This book was published by Franklin; its author was Richard Jackson, but Franklin did claim responsibility for some small excerpts.[2]

So to those who are waking up, continue to prepare. Continue to make contact with like minded people. Continue to move forward with the knowledge we are going to have sustainable agriculture, nearly free energy technology, and near perfect health in a new age. But it isn't going to come without removing the obstruction to obtaining it.
For those that want to bet there life on psi, if you can demonstrate that you can stop a bullet with psi then I will be wondering why you haven't stopped the tyranny already.
In the meantime there many peaceful people that I admire but haven't figured it out yet are riding on the coattails of freedom fighters that have lost their lives beating off tyranny the only way they know. If those of you that think this is the wrong way, then stop them and stop the tyranny now. In the meantime make sure to thank those who fought tyranny while you figured out how to hum correctly? And why do you constantly slap people in the face and whine about anyone else who are willing to put their life on the line for your freedom.
In all due respect I think you are wrong and strongly disagree, and the only way you will ever prove I'm wrong is by stopping the coming onslaught before someone gets hurt. And if you can do that and don't stop the tyranny then maybe we are upset with the wrong people.
