Things have changed for Tunisians, and I pray they will be blessed with new hope, great prosperity, real liberty and peace. May they be inspired by America's own cessation of consent in 1776, and not hampered by the global, rusting corporate robostate she is today.
The small town of Sidi Bouzid, home of friends and family of Mohamed Bouzizi, fruit vendor and hero, is just east of Kasserine, Tunisia. It is fitting that in 1943, in exactly this area of Tunisia, a great American Army was found lacking, fighting another European power on battlefields that neither side cared about, for the sake of expanded state power and respect that today, for both sides, is just smoke and history.
Perhaps it is a good thing most Americans don't know and don't care what is happening in Tunisia. It truly is not our country's business, and we should wish the people there only peace and happiness. It is certainly good to see Washington itself bereft of ideas, staring like a slobbering post-lobotomy at its broad-based and dynamic repudiation around the world. Perhaps the 21st century will be an age of liberty, as we all wake up the venality, superficiality and fundamental abject weakness of the state in the face of practical and widespread withdrawal of consent.
