Oppression Suggestions

With the recent events in the US with the Black Lives Matters movement there has been a lot of police brutality.

What seems to be the case isn’t that police have started to become brutal and authoritative but that for the first time in history it’s getting filmed.

I would suggest that like the national guard, cities form state and city guards. These can be made of veterans, national guard members and citizens. Their goal is to protect the people from corrupt unhinged police departments.

The US was formed on this action and recommends that the people prevent fascist militant state. You have the freedom and freedom to self determination from the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Atlantic Charter, UDHR, and everyone else in the world to form people protection squads.

Read the history on robber barons.

Great Interregnum

During the period in the history of the Holy Roman Empire known as the Great Interregnum (1250–1273), when there was no Emperor, the number of tolling stations exploded in the absence of imperial authority. In addition, robber barons began to earn their newly coined term of opprobrium by robbing ships of their cargoes, stealing entire ships, and even kidnapping.

In response to this organized, military lawlessness, the “Rheinischer Bund,” or Rhine League was formed by 100 Cities, and from several princes and prince-prelates (lords of the Church), all of whom held large stakes in the restoration of law and order to the Rhine.

Officially launched in 1254, the Rhine League wasted no time putting robber barons out of business by the simple expedient of taking and destroying their castles. In the next three years, four robber barons were targeted and between ten and twelve robber castles destroyed or inactivated.

The Rhine League was not only successful in suppressing illicit collection of tolls and river robbery, they also took action against other state aggression. For example, they are documented as having intervened to rescue a victim of abduction by the Baron of Rietberg.

The procedure pioneered by the Rhine League for dealing with robber barons — to besiege, capture and destroy their castles — survived long after the League self-destructed from political strife over the election of a new Emperor and military reversals against unusually strong robber barons.

When the Interregnum ended, the new king Rudolf of Habsburg applied the lessons learned by the Rhine League to the destruction of the highway robbers at Sooneck, torching their castles and hanging them. While robber barony never entirely ceased, especially during the Hundred Years’ War, the excesses of their heyday during the Interregnum never recurred.

Churches, city governments, businesses and others all gathered together to form groups that protected the people and maintain peace.

It is important to remember that the villains despise you for not fighting back. For not standing up to their exploitation and theft. That’s why they instigate it. That’s why they pepper spray innocent peaceful people.
