Hoosier Nation - Conclusion
< Hoosier Activism | Table of Contents
Those who were expecting a detailed explication of how Indiana is to become a sovereign country may be disappointed. But where there's a will, there's a way. Our task at this point is to stoke the will. The details will resolve themselves if the determination is there. While the unraveling of empires and imploding of speculative bubbles are things which can be confidently predicted, the precise nature which a people liberate themselves is too circumstantial, too dependent on future situations which have yet to unfold.
If anything, the urge to seriously reflect on the details of secession at this point is a temptation to be resisted. Perhaps a larger "Middle American Republic" will take shape. Perhaps the Chinese will invade to restore order and secure our weapons of mass destruction when the bubble bursts. Perhaps a righteous and resurgent Russia will force our weakened federal government to abide by its constitution. Pondering on all of these possibilities can be an amusing exercise for the active mind, but it shouldn't be mistaken for the serious business of uniting our people with a common goal of survival and freedom.
Life can be frustrating for some of us who have been aware of these threats to our survival and freedom. How do you play the role of Paul Revere when fewer and fewer Americans even know who he was or what he did? At best, we appear like a confused Chicken Little, and at worst their minds flash with visions of Nazis marching, Southern mobs lynching, and skinheads stomping. But one must bear in mind that decades of conditioning have guided them to dread a traditional American revolution as surely as Pavlov's dogs salivated.
Worldviews, once ingrained, can be difficult to dislodge. This one is especially difficult to dislodge, given that the economic bubble has flooded our enemies with cash to silence us, cash to buy off our politicians, cash to appease the "sheeple", and cash to hide the problems under the rug. But once they realize that their currency is utterly worthless and the social problems start unraveling from every direction, sentiment could snap in our favor within weeks.
To be the vanguards of that revolution, we must do more than merely awaken, we must prepare. We must awaken others. We must offer a clear path back to safe harbor. But we must also be discrete, shrewd, and patient in our work until the time is ripe. We will need to be like Johnny Appleseed, humble and persistent as we plant the seeds of Hoosier sovereignty. We will need to be like Daniel Boone, prepared to survive in the wilderness. We will need to be like Davy Crockett, prepared to fight to the death for our liberty and our heritage.
We will need to become true Hoosiers again.
