It Ain’t Dark Yet, But It’s Getting There

Guest Post by Southern Sage

As the Bob Dylan song says, “It ain’t dark yet, but its getting there.” Indeed it is. It is surprising how many people go about their lives in a fog, never imagining anything can bring catastrophe down on them. The German Jews are the proverbial group that should have seen it coming. In fact, a very large percentage did, took their losses, and got the hell out of Dodge.

But what of the smug and contented upper and middle classes of Europe in June 1914? The truth is, men with vision had already forecast a terrible war because they had seen and analyzed those factors leading up to it. Most of the people, though, hardly gave it a thought. Many of them would be dead before another year passed.

Astute observers of the 2020 election understand that this undisguised banana republic-type coup is the Rubicon for the American Republic. There is no going back now. The road ahead is wide and it leads to civil war, a total breakdown of our institutions and financial system, disasters in the foreign field, the break up of the United Sates, or all of these together.

If you chance to meet some drooling nitwit who does not understand what has happened (as opposed to the domestic enemies, who understand only too well what they have done) just pass them by. Anybody who at this point still can burble out Lee Greenwood’s pathetic, skin-crawling patriotic nonsense (“I’m an American, where at least I know I’m free…..”, pass the vomit bag, please!) will not wake up until he is butt-stroked across the face by an ATF agent there to steal his Gran Pappy’s shot gun.

This is not the place to go over the sad history of Communist subversion in the United States since the 1920’s (it is well-documented if you care to look for the relevant books) but the fact is a hundred years of tireless work by foreigners and gullible Americans taken in by their witches brew of hate, lies, and evil, has brought us to this point.

Donald Trump, bless his con man’s soul, is a New Yorker. Behind the bluster and bullshit was a man who finally realized that if something was not done the country was finished. He tried but was so ignorant of the depth and power of the traitor class that he allowed himself to be surrounded by enemies. 2020 was the result.

Many of our readers despise Trump. I get it. But I also know that Trump accomplished an astonishing amount of good in the short time he had (I assume the coup will be successful; we still have a few days left to provide incontrovertible evidence of massive vote fraud and treason).

Few Americans knew about these changes he made because many were in vitally important but obscure areas of immigration, foreign policy, intelligence, and the military. Biden will hasten to reverse them as many took aim directly at the Deep State.

All of you must make plans to confront what is coming. Some people with the means will seek a refuge in some other country. The truth is, I have that option and if it comes to all out war I intend to make sure my wife sits it out. My kids are grown and have to make their own calls.

The first thing we all must do is get the America we love out of our heads. It no longer exists except in our memories and, hopefully, in what wisdom we can pass down to our children and grand-children. That America is gone forever. It is not coming back.

You must then be honest with yourself. In any war like the one that is coming, only a small percentage of the population actually fights. This makes sense. Active combat is a young man’s game. That said, there are critical roles for others: home guard units, communications, supply, organizing clandestine cells behind enemy lines, medical care (yes, bullets fly both ways), intelligence, public information and propaganda, arms production, mobilizing the public.

You may too old to invade Oregon to sort out the hipsters, “Progressives”, and Antifa types – leave that to others – but you sure as hell can do your bit by rooting out these types closer to home and bringing them to justice. If you have almost any special skills you will be needed and a place will be found for those who just want to do their part. Now, are you prepared to do anything at all, at the risk of death or imprisonment? Remember. This will be a messy affair and the hirelings of the domestic enemy will likely control large areas inhabited by patriots, at least in the initial stages.

Much of the population will try to sit it out. Good luck to you. Before adopting that “safe” position, you might want to study the history of the Civil War in Missouri. “Neutrals” fared no better than those who chose sides.

Nobody can predict when the final explosion will come or how. There will be false starts, lone wolf incidents, flare ups, before the big one comes along.

Many people worry about the black community. Don’t. They are far more shrewd than you think. They have no intention of being used as cannon fodder for the likes of Biden, AOC, Bill Gates, Fauci, or George Soros. Leave them alone, treat them with respect, and they will sit this out. There will be criminal gangs and outbreaks of violence but that can be dealt with quickly.

When the day finally arrives, make up your mind. If you choose to fight, if you think what is left of America is worth saving, draw the sword and throw away the scabbard. There will not be any honorable ending to this one, no Lee and Grant at a tea table. And there will not be any reconciliation, either. If we win, every last one of the bastards who brought this on will pay for it with their lives or, at a minimum, prison and exile. If we lose, you will not even have the last two choices.

Keep your mouth shut, trust nobody who has not been vetted and tested, strike hard and strike fast, don’t waste your time and lives on secondary objectives – hit where it hurts, no mercy for traitors (such as those “Republicans” calling on Trump to concede; remember them well), if the enemy tries to extend his hand, cut it off – it is a snare, the only acceptable end is total victory. Anything else is an insult to our ancestors and a threat to future generations.

Now all we do is wait. Trust me, the spark will come, and sooner than you think. Men and women will rise to lead our people. They always have. Be ready to answer the call.

That is the best description of a possible near-midterm future as I have seen lately. I think that Americans will accept the yoke with little-to-no real dispute, but one can always hope…..

However it goes, get out of diverse areas ASAP. No matter how it goes, the personal risk is much higher there, especially for women and children.

I’ve hated presidents since the last one I called ‘my President’ had his brains splattered all over Dealy Plaza. Trump is a pompous blowhard but if he comes out swinging I’ll back him 100%. The author is right-there are no sidelines-your on one side or the other.

Wrong.
There are three sides.
Your side, their side , MY side.
The choice to disengage or not vote are choices to not be part of something there is no belief in.
There is no crime in being agnostic. One must do what one thinks is the best for him/her.
Fuck everything else because we all die in the end.

I agree. I haven’t voted in a national election in over 30 years and I didn’t vote for Trump. But we’re at a crossroads. Evil is afoot and it must be faced down. I won’t vote unless another Ron Paul shows up but neither will I back down to commie bastards.

Normalcy bias prevents people from paying attention to history. The Marxist game plan is always the same, no matter the country it infests. Here in the USSA we don’t believe there are people out there who would kill us for not adhering to their ideology or because of our skin color or sexual orientation.

Zealots are always insane, there is no middle ground for them. If you think The Squad and people like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez are sane, guess again. AOC is already calling for lists of those who support Trump. Wonder why?

If you think women aren’t capable of extreme brutality, guess again. If you think the leftists in Antifa and BLM won’t hesitate to kill you, guess again.

Should Biden somehow make it into office you can kiss your white ass good bye. Seriously. No joke. EVERYTHING that he is proposing is straight out of the Communist Manifesto and geared to taking this country down.
Open borders? Check.
Illegals overwhelming the system? Check
Overwhelming the system with welfare drones?
Endless quarantine lockdowns? Check
Destruction of the economy and jobs? Check.
Mandatory vaccinations and chips, papers please? Check
Foreign control over sovereign control? Check.

There are many more, just pay attention to what Biden proposes and who his ‘cabinet’ consist of. The socialist takeover of countries like Germany and Great Britain is complete. They got the muslims and the no-go zones, the protected class status for the muslims, the ‘anti-hate’ laws that censure any forms of free speech, completely controlled social media and the press. There are no freedoms for the native populations in Europe, any attempts to call out the actions of the muslims is severly censored, beheadings and machete attacks are A-ok if done by muslims.

The same stuff is happening here. Riots and violence by Antifa and BLM A-ok, you don’t need to social distance during BLM lootings and riots, but beware those Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. The governors are already imposing martial law against the citizens, using the police to crack down on ‘law breakers’ and if you don’t think that’s not what the Marxist do, guess again.

” The modern political weaponization of everything is very similar to the old communist idea of the militarization of everything. For example, concentration camps — leftists prefer to call them “re-education camps” — were introduced by communist Leon Trotsky in order to create “labor armies” to demonstrate that socialism is better than capitalism. The idea was to crush capitalism by over-producing and out-profiting it due to practically nonexistent personal expenses in such hard labor camps. When the National Socialists came to power, they liked the idea of the concentration camps very much, and they continue to call them “re-education camps” officially.”

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. …A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. – John Stuart Mill

this makes me think of the mel gibson character in the film THE PATRIOT. he thought he could just continue to be a farmer and live his life and not take part in the revolutionary war….until it showed up on his doorstep, burned his house to the ground and killed one of his kids.

66% freedom loving shooters and 33% oxygen thieves expecting handouts. Although an overwhelming percentage of folks on active duty were what combat arms considered activy duty welfare recipients.

I venture to say about 80% of the officer corps are incompetent and about 60% are liberal/ progressive fucktards. The irony of the military economic system is how close it resembles a communist caste system.

I suspect a good majority of line unit combat vets are pro-shoot commies in the face types though. Especially in the SOC units.

Whatever side they are told to be on. We can chase the cops ff pretty easy. Not so much if some real infantry shows up. And the ROE will likely be a lot less restrictive that in force in Afghanistan or Iraq. Don’t kid yourself one bit. Sniping and bushwhackijng better be your plan. Expect no quarter, and give none.

Traditionally-minded people.
Gun owners.
People from a predominantly “red” state.
Religious people (with the exception of Muslims).
Heterosexual people and traditional marriages.
Anyone or anything associated with traditional America

AOC has already compiled lists….the lawyers for Trump are being doxxed, ditto any and all who support Trump or are conservatives. The war has already started, they are warring against you and doing it openly, the most recent salvo against you is this election, stolen by the ‘president elect’ which is a bullshit title that means nothing but the prostitute media is united in the coup and color revolution.

Once the enemies are identified, “tiger teams” of lightly trained militia go forth into the undefended rural areas and small towns attacking everyone on the lists that they were given. It never is random. They have lists of people to target and places to go. Do not expect it to be unplanned or random.

“still waitin” for the Kraken”
——-
Well don’t get too excited. Take it to the bank that there will no court ordered remedy. Why?

There is no black letter constitutional right to vote. Don’t take my word for it, read the document. Under the Constitution, states may select their electors in any manner they deem expedient to them.

Whether or not you like this state of facts is one thing, but that is the reality. Federal Courts reluctantly intervene in these exclusively State matters (and probably are on fairly weak Constitutional footing when they do); and only where violations of Federal Civil Right laws are implicated. Even then what remedy would Federal Courts deliver?? Reversing/nullifying State selection of Electors?? Not going to happen.

For Trump supporters or supporters of free and fair elections… the only remedy likely to happen in reaction to this wholesale hijacking of a presidential election is a political one:

> States legislatures in and of themselves do not certify their election
> then they don’t send electors to the electoral college
> then no candidate gets 270 or more electoral votes
> and then the vote for prez is tossed into the US House of Representatives where vote is by state and not by r representatives. This has has happened before.

That is not a “Constitutional Crisis” That is as designed in the Constitution.

Pogrom, I used to live up in Clark County near Battleground, but I married a D from Portland. (The things we do for love). If I didn’t work on the Oregon side of the river, I would already be living up there again. I suspect when things heat up, my move is east of the mountains, not north of the river.

With that being said the Interstate Bridge is only one earthquake or a drunken barge captain away from collapsing. Rather than using big rigs to block the 205 bridge , just built a fake federal courthouse at the south end and Antifa tear it down.
