Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
So, a criminal with a warrant who resists arrest meets up with an incompetent government employee who can’t tell a Glock from a taser, then there are Democrat riots, and what’s the result? You must be disarmed.
If you’re looking for logical logic, keep on looking. If you understand the logic of power, you came to the right place.
Facts don’t matter.
Evidence is racist.
2+2=4 means you’re a transphobe.
This is about power, people. Their power over you.
Understand that you can’t reason your way out of this. We’re not going to explain to our enemies why it’s inefficient, ineffective, or unAmerican to do the things they are trying to do. You might as well try to teach your terrier particle physics with a thick, juicy ribeye in sitting his bowl in front of him.
Tangent: Pardon me for potentially misgendering your pooch.
Back to my point. There is no point, except power. They want to control you. If they can’t they want to destroy you. Everything – and I mean everything – is bent to that objective.
That’s why the media lies to you.
That’s why they selectively prosecute.
That’s why movie stars lecture you.
That’s why they want to take your guns.
That’s why they want to cheat in elections.
That’s why critical race theory is a thing.
You, disenfranchised.
You, despised.
You, a serf.
That’s it. That’s the goal. So, trying to reason your way out of it is useless.
It’s actually worse. It’s embarrassing. You look like a fool. Take Asa! Hutchinson, with his mush-mouthed palaver about “limited government” and citing Reagan to justify his spineless submission to the establishment. This guy literally would rather young children have their genitals mutilated than have to explain to his Walmart masters why he refused to go along with the scalpel zeitgeist.
He’s not just a weak person. He’s not just a stupid person. He’s an evil person.
And we know it. We see it. And we must speak it.
They want to blind us. They want to gag us. They want us tip-toeing through the PC minefield, afraid to take a step less we trigger a detonation of cancellation.
But have you noticed the rumblings of resistance?
Have you noticed the stirrings of pushback?
For a while we had Trump to do the pushing, but with him in Florida we can now see others stepping up. Ron DeSantis is banning critical racism. Brian Kemp found some vertebrae and he’s defying Delta, Coke, and “Major League Chinaball” to demand election integrity. The other night, Tucker Carlson charged into the “replacement theory” ambush where we are not supposed to say what the Democrats explicitly say, which is that they intend to import pliable foreign peasants to replace American citizens at the ballot box (of course, sensible Latinos had other ideas, coming around to Trump significantly in 2020). The garbage media and establishment announced that this fact must not be spoken and Tucker spoke the hell out of it.
The backlash begins.
Right now, it is mere stirrings. Americans are slow to anger, but they are mighty in their wrath. When woke bull-Schiff was confined to college campuses, we could live with it. We didn’t see it. It was not in our faces. But now it is. It’s everywhere in the institutions, and it’s filtering down to people in their jobs, on their televisions and even in their homed when young Kaden returns from Cornell as “Kasey” and informs xir parents they are committing literal violence on xim by not paying xir tuition anymore.
Do they imagine that people will just give up and give in?
Some will. The Fredocons did, of course, but they are weak.
But with Normal Americans, the risk is mistaking patience and restraint for weakness.
Think I’m wrong?
Go try to buy some 5.56mm rounds.
The backlash is building. The anger is real and rising. Yeah, everyone’s getting their .45s and AR15s, which is proper – an armed people is a free people – but the reality is we are unlikely to get to the kind of crisis where they come into active play. As much as some leftists salivate at the idea of declaring war on normal people (read their social media and tell me I’m wrong), there’s almost certainly not going to be civil conflict, though with cops as competent as Taser Girl and our broken military focused on pretending boys can turn into girls, I kind of like patriots’ odds against those few traitors who would not quit rather than suppress the American people for the benefit of their leftist masters. No, the violence will be limited to Democrat areas as Democrat voters burn Democrat cities ruled by Democrat politicians. Which would seem make it a Democrat problem.
But the backlash is coming, peaceful but unstoppable. First, you’ll see the social pushback. We will see brave pols like DeSantis and the newly-concervawoke Kemp. We’ll see conservative media figures refusing to honor the narrative guardrails of the lib-fascists, just like Tucker does.
Soon we’ll see comics attacking this garbage, then other artists joining in. Then more politicians, who will start passing laws banning these practices and gutting these woke corporations. Trust Busting. Banning Chinese collaboration. Regulating big tech.
And we’ll see normal people pushing back in their personal lives.
Of course, we’ll see latecomers like Nikki! and Kristi! who will try to pretend they always knew what time it is. But we’ll remember that when the fight, started these REMFs were cowering in the rear, afraid to offend the Chamber or the NCAA. And they will be ignored.
The 2022 election will be the key. We’re going to crush the left. Why? Because things will get worse, much worse. Crime. A wrecked economy. China will kick our woke military’s behind. Think Jimmy Carter in 1980, but without the competence and a lot more anti-Americanism.
This will be a tough fight, and it is only the beginning. Just do not fall into despair. Do not withdraw – they prefer you submit but they will settle for you giving up (for now – they’ll come for you eventually). Do not fear them.
Be part of the backlash. Get in now, at the beginning.

A wonderful stirring speech my friend – well done. We join with your crusade in UK – the Brits too are slow to anger but the Nazis discovered that it wasn’t a good idea to poke the Lion. Some background:
Yes, it was, Peter. Yes, indeed!! A wonderful first post to get us started.
I hope like hell someone doesn’t come on here with the usual tripe when a positive message is put forth. You know what I mean. This kind of crap ….
“Bullshit! No body is going to do anything! Americans are pussies. Bread and Circus! People won’t do shit until they start starving. HOW DARE YOU SAY THINGS ARE STARTING TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!!!”
Yeah, you know who you are. DON’T DO IT! Lest the wrath of God, and a certain King Shitflinger, fall upon you.
Surely you aren’t thinking of your friend, the big dog, are you?
OK. I’ll bite.
Another rousing speech. Yay. Hoorah. Booya. Seems to me like there’s always a new deadline. Another Obama-esque “Red Line”. ‘The 2022 election will be the key’. OK, so that’s the new date for action? You remember that last election? The one that qualified the entire Government (local, state, and federal) for RICO status? I know it was a while ago. But it looks like there were no consequences for that. But next time will be different. Where do I place my bets?
Sorry to disappoint, but I see nothing but positives all around.
The Feds printing money from nothing?
People are finally beginnings to see it’s value as toilet paper.
The outrage of censorship on social media platforms?
It’s time to get anybody with a few remaining brain cells off these platforms.
Cancel culture?
Why is anybody even talking to this crew? They’re one step removed from landfill.
Woke Corporations?
Remember Look for the Union Label?
Use the same mentality when you refuse to buy from woke companies. Vote with your wallet. Its the one vote that can’t be faked.
The left wing takeover of your institutions?
History shows how that’s going to play out. It’s a self-solving dilemma. They eat their own.
Socialist societies are always supported by a backbone of a free-market black market. It’s like sand. The harder the government grips to crack down, the more it slips through their fingers.
BLM and Antifa riots with impunity from “law enforcement”?
Time for certain folks to be pushing that 5.56 downrange at those dindus and their useful idiot white friends and un-assing the KZ before the po-po arrive. Dallying about after a fire fight has never been a good idea. Wait around to explain yourself to a cop? Really?
The lack of support for police is causing their rapid dissolution, anyways.
The panic of police receiving military hardware through grants?
What better way to bring military hardware within reach of local insurgents.
The outrage of police not living in the neighborhoods they patrol?
So you don’t have to dust your ‘neighbor’. And his orphan kids don’t beat up your kids on the playground.
New laws banning certain guns; registering all others, and red flag confiscation?
Bonus: make sure your collection uses the same rounds the police use and stay away from the esoteric stuff. That way, the guy that shows up to confiscate your weapons just brought you your next loadout that was out of stock on ammo.com.
A dual tiered legal system that’s unfair?
Time to realize that if you’re not one of the beautiful people, you’re a criminal. Start acting like one. When there are two sets of laws, none are valid.
The outrage of mask mandates?
Pretty much sorts out the people I want nothing to do with, which is most of them.
Here’s your sign.
Sketchy vaccines that might cause cytokine storms in millions of people and push them that last step to landfill?
BOOYA.
The outrage of progressively looser restrictions on abortion and the murder of millions of unborn babies?
I support Planned Parenthood. And the abortion of Liberal, Progressive, Democrat babies.
It’s not like the remaining church-going crowd is their revenue base.
Margret Sanger was right. As was Bonaparte. Never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake.
The travesty of transgenders?
No matter how much one mutilates himself to look like something else, if you don’t like who you are, that will never change. A disproportionate amount of these people kill themselves. Another self-solving dilemma.
Massive drug abuse and opiate overdoses?
Another self-solving dilemma. And when you accepted that the government could dictate what you could put in your body, the dictate of what you must put in your body naturally follows. I see mandatory vaccines…
Swarms of illegal aliens pouring into your country?
As it should be. No nation has ever been able to stop economic migration. Passports became commonplace after WW1; In May of 1918, Congress passed the Travel Control Act. Another blast from the decade that brought you the Federal Reserve Act and Income Taxes. This was Americans accepting government limits on their freedom of travel.
Americans (Canadians, Mexicans, etc.) have gotten the governments they deserve.
No. Sorry Kurt. I’ll pass on waiting for your ‘coming backlash’. Things are going just fine as I navigate this slow motion collapse of this country; most of its problems that are eventually self-solving.
Queue King Shitflinger. You’re on deck.
I said, — “I hope like hell someone doesn’t come on here with the usual tripe when a positive message is put forth.” aaaaand, here you are, right on cue. That’s hilarious, I don’t care who you are.
We will always have people like you around. Naysayers, who pick apart everyone and anyone who dares put out a message of hope that “hey, we just might be able to defeat these fuckers!”.
You would probably bitch-slap Jesus for his Sermon on the Mount. Right?
===========
All that being said, your list of grievances is actually right on the money. We surely do face what seems to be insurmountable problems. The biggest fight we have is our own despair. I get that. OTOH, old Doc Pangloss did say ‘never, never, never give up’!
You better than anybody know that what you said is an engraved invitation to some of us more convoluted types.
There was nary a Nay in my response. I merely dismissed Kurt as someone who is all hat, no cattle. As for Hope;
Since Obama made it part of his shtick, I’ve been telling people that hope is not an action plan.
It’s still not.
You can get people’s hopes up, then crush them with reality and they will never rise again. Or you can paint the dire picture, evaluate your odds, choose your battles, tabulate your victories, and Sun Tzu yourself to your goal. When your crew sees your resolve, they will follow you through the gates of hell just for the party on the other side.
I would never even approach Jesus. I would listen to the sermons (from a respectable distance), then discuss it with other somber types in my acquaintance, and we’d probably set up a dead pool betting on how long it would take the Romans (or the Jews) to snuff this guy. The important thing was how long Jesus would be a distraction to the authorities where we could advance our insurgent ways unnoticed.
My list of “grievances” really isn’t. I simply posit that most of what people stress over are self solving issues. The collapse of the dollar and Pax Americana? It’s a self solving issue. It is the continual cycle of history.
Glad I could provide some entertainment.
You put into wonderful words what most of us have been thinking and currently thinking.
Thank you.
Putting into words is one thing.
Putting into action a whole ‘nother thing.
I wonder if it hurt him to speak the truth for once.
One thing our household is doing RIGHT NOW, We are cutting off the money supply from THIS house. No Woke Coke. 60 year Cubs fans no more, Cancelled MLB Subscription. No Kroger (for dissing those who complained about voting rights and stolen election). We still use Amazon out of necessity, but throw sand in their gears every chance we get. For example, when we want several things, we order one at a time and force them to ship at no cost(to us) several times. Use an Amazon-branded credit card for an additional 5% discount and pay balance every month. Same for Walmart who we use out of necessity also. Same for credit cards and banking. Due to a lack of choices, we continue to use companies we despise. However, we never carry a balance, pay at the last minute and take every credit and cashback we can. Finances arranged intentionally to legally pay little or NO income tax. Use local businesses we know and trust where possible. And don’t lecture me on Amazon and Walmart if you don’t know my situation. I use them because I must, but I make sure they make little or lose on every transaction.
And, NO JAB. We will not be taking the DNA treatment. And wear a mask only when it’s something I really need, like a medical center visit.
NO network news in our house
And whatever else we are doing I will keep it private. 😉
ETC, ETC
Throw sand in the gears. TSIGs.
We are not powerless. They understand two things, money and power. Give them neither.
Well done, Bill Johnson!!
If even just 10% of the population did likewise those fuckers could be squashed like a bug.
NO SMARTPHONE! Get a (fliphone) burner from wherever, pay cash.
Use a credit union NOT a bank.
Pay cash as much as possible. Barter and trade, use silver/gold if possible.
NO TELEVISION, we haven’t had one since 1987.
DO NOT shop at Costco! (Queer Bill Gates’ croaked father previously sat on the board)
Know something about where you spend your money.
Buy meat from a processing co-op, same with vegetables. (If such doesn’t exist in your community try to start such.)
DO NOT shop at HOMO-DEPOT. (The queer parades use their orange buckets)
Disengage from the BORG in as many ways as possible.
Couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately, not everything is black and white (well, maybe these days it actually is 😉 ) For instance, our only local credit union is worse than the banks in several ways, including being part of the State Universite System. Need I say more? We have chosen the least offensive bank, to us, and hold our nose. Again, checking account only to pay bills and just enough on deposit to pay no fees. And yeah, I’m sure some smart ass will tell me how I am paying hidden fees. Screw you, we are doing the best we can. We keep the majority of our operating funds at our investment company. We know and trust them (mostly) as we have personal knowledge of them and my wife is a retiree from them. But the credit union is a great suggestion in most cases. Thanks, sure wish we could do that.
About disengaging, we have sh*t canned Chrome and Google search in favor of Brave Browser and Duck Duck Go. I understand Brave is about to release a search engine that is “supposed to be” more private and less directive to favored sites than Google. All sharing on phones turned off that is possible. Not sure I am ready to go back to a flip phone. If I could find a reliable navigation system that didn’t track me I could probably get by with flipper. Also, our car is 11 years old and will NOT be replaced with a newer one that would have all sorts of tracking and electronics I can do without.
We try to buy locally, but the options are limited where we live. We do frequent the local farmers’ markets and food coop, local honey, tamales to die for, and fresh produce when in season. Limited selection and we have limited freezer storage for fresh meat in bulk. We use the locally owned Mexican food chain here for fresh stuff. Small-town feel. Much of the meat there is local.
My main point is this. If we all do what we can to starve the beast and throw sand in the gears we can make a difference. But, nothing is perfect. Each of us can/should/must do what we can from where we are with what we have to work with. For instance, I would dump TV in a heartbeat, except my wife loves her stuff on TV. I may be stubborn and stupid, but I ain’t no fool when it comes to her happiness and well-being. See, nothing is perfect
Criticizing each other and finding fault is how the bad guys keep us divided and fighting among ourselves. Stucky was right. Lots of “tripe” here.
OK, that’s enough from me. I usually don’t bother to comment, preferring to lurk and be entertained by the nonsense that passes for debate here. However, I am passionate about starving the beast and throwing sand in the gears so I had to throw my 2 bits in.
Have a great day all and remember, throw sand in the gears and starve the beast as best YOU can.
PS, I would appreciate any other suggestions as to how you TSIGs and STB.
” If I could find a reliable navigation system that didn’t track me I could probably get by with flipper” Try a Rand McNally road atlas. I bought my first one 50 years ago. Don’t leave home without it.
You have great ideas and excellent points! Well done and thank you.
Thanks for commenting instead of just lurking this time. You message was a good one.
Another reason to dump the “smart” phone
Sorry to throw sand in your gears, but you DO pay for the “free shipping” from Amazon. Companies pay advertisers to display their goods on the site and also pay fees based on how much space their goods occupy in the warehouses. Those fees are passed on to the consumer (you) in the form of higher prices, smaller portions, lesser quality, etc. Also, state and local governments extend tax breaks to incentivize Amazon to build warehouses in their localities. That lost revenue is made up by you, the taxpayer. So, “sticking it” to Amazon by having items shipped individually comes out of your pocket eventually.
Technically we all pay for Amazon’s “free shipping” because it is subsidized by the USPS.
If I ship someone a medium USPS priority box the cost is $15.50. If Amazon ships a fifty pound bag of dog food, their cost is $3.00
You see how that works? One of the richest people on planet Earth pays 80% less than one of the poorest farmers in America to send 10 times as much product via the exact same government delivery service.
And if you’re ordering stuff from Amazon, for God’s sake buy a bottle of syrup from someone who could use the money.
Fk Bezos. I refuse to line his pockets.
They don’t need our money or vote anymore. Any losses those companies take is reimbursed by the Feds by design. They are now printing all they need of both votes and dollars.
78% of all dollars printed have been printed since Jan. 2020.
Their one glaring weakness is silver. If we all bought a little silver and took delivery it would bring the system down. We won’t do it because we have been demoralized and reduced to bitching to each other.
I try to buy as much silver as a I can. But with inflation, it’s getting a bit harder to do. I’m on a limited budget.
Bravo.
Behold a pale horse and upon it a pale rider.
A good start is to burn the mask. It is an outward symbol of your obedience.
I love this idea. Was going to do it, then I realized I had no mask to burn. Still, would be fun to gather ’round the burn barrels in the town square with others who finally take off the mask for good.
Have a local mask burning in the town square.
Take a big shit in a standard blue face-diaper and leave it, with a small sign regarding the totalitarian fashion accessory, close to/ in front of (as close as one dares – wear a mask and hat while executing the mission, natch) a Homo Depot, Koke distributorship… anywhere with plenty of foot traffic.
Like Marshall McLuhan sez “The medium is the message.”
Bonus question: Why are used face diapers not considered medical/hazardous waste?
(Call your local Sickness Department and make a concerned citizen inquiry.)
Don’t carry your phone or drive to the location either, as they can track your movements.
“We’ll get ’em next time!”
Would someone explain to Mr Schlicter that there is no voting our way out of this. There’s no suing our way out of it either. The only way this ends is with millions of corpses. The only question is who will fill the mass graves.
Do you know who your United Nations Ambassador is? I bet you don’t. Her name is Linda Thomas-Greenfield. Here it is …
She wants to re-enter (Trump left it) the UN Human Rights Council. This is weird in itself considering the members which include; Pakistan, Somalia, Qatar, Cuba, Venezuela, Sudan, and Libya — all paradigms of love and virtue.
But, she says, before we do America MUST admit that white supremacy is weaved into America’s founding documents and principles.
This is the person who represents America to the world (via the UN).
Where is the outrage? Where is the fucken backlash??
Motherfucken fuckity fucken crickets.
And Auntie bets that Stucky doesn’t know that dear old Aunt Jemima got a raise and a cushy new gig at the WTO:
She’s the Director-General, btw.
Kurt is still pushing the “vote harder” narrative. Bless his heart.
yeahhhh. who to vote for ? worthless Republicans, you know the ones who went along to get along when they held the Congressional and Senate majorities during the Obama years ? gave us the unneeded Iraq War, spent 6 trillion dollars and warp speed vaccine under the last Republican admin ? Yeah it would be better to let the Dems burn it down and get it over with than the slow degradation.
DeSantis maybe. But I wouldn’t be naming Kemp as someone joining the fight on our side. He got the message that was sent to him when they murdered his daughter’s BF.
Kemp only wants the elections to be controlled in ’22 when he runs. Other than that, he does not give a rat’s ass about election integrity.
A few thousand public officials(that have any sway over people in a meaningful way) versus Millions of people with guns. I read that only a small percentage of people actually fought in our Revolutionary war.
I had to go to a neighboring city and had to waste some time so I went to a sporting goods store
and there were people waiting in line at the door. I talked to these people(most were not wearing a mask)
they were all there for ammunition that was coming in. I’m not sure how many were hoarding it or reselling it. Finally, the doors opened and I watched as they filed in to get some ammunition. there were only a few boxes available. I pictured our country with many people doing this. They weren’t buying ammo for target shooting. It made a person wonder about the future, especially with the wackjob Gov. we have now.
While in town today, I went to Wally World to check on ammo and there were 0 rifle/pistol cartridges, a few 28 ga bird shot and a few 12 ga turkey loads in 3 & 3 1/2″ shells. A couple of weeks ago, as I entered the store, I heard a request for assistance at the ammo counter and by the time I got back there, a lady was getting the last of the 30-30 with no other centerfire/rimfire available.
A friend of mine was REALLY smart and bought 5,000 rounds of AR-15 rounds back in 2015 after Sandy Hook … saw this shit coming … Damn, smart dood!!
The government will be sending people to you to ask about your friend’s stash.
We only grabbed 2,000 rounds for the AK.
It’s been interesting and gratifying to watch Kurt’s progression from “aren’t these neocons great!” to “burn it all down”…
(lest)
Otherwise, profound and inspiring!
Bravo!
My husband had some honest “what-if” discussion and were both relieved that we are in agreement about what happens if and when they come to get guns around here.
The bullets go one by one.
That is the way I feel about it
Kurt, Thank you for the encouragement, but the 2022 elections will not be the key. The key is when individual Americans begin to “live intentionally”. We must all count the cost of every action, every transaction, and every soul-vexing interaction with our overlords and their woke minions. If we don’t push back individually, our collective push back amounts to nothing. Its a fight, and a fight is not a passive thing. A real fight is all-consuming until won or lost. TPTB only recognize power and money so we all need to explore and exchange ideas on how to starve the beast and crush the machine with a billion tiny beatdowns. Bill Johnson and Ivan have got it rolling with their comments. That is how things change.
What IS this fantasy of conservatives that they’re going to ‘crush the Left’ in the next election?
What planet are you living on?
The voting machines are totally controlled by the Left, and the globalists / oligarchs! They will NEVER allow conservatives to win another election.
And clearly, since Trump and the GOP are NOT demanding that voting machines be made illegal, nor even that they be made fraud-proof, Trump and most of the GOP are actually in bed with the Left / globalists.
More horseshit from a champion purveyor of horseshit. All of it (Oh! Just wait ’til the election in 2020!! We’ll show ’em then, won’t we!!) designed explicitly to keep us from just fucking quitting. And quitting is all we have. Way too late for throwing down militantly; that ship sailed about the time that Ruby Ridge broke bad, and the Feds saw what they could get away with. Schlichter and all the rest of his ilk are just working to keep us from quitting.
So fuck ’em, and the horse they rode in on. Time to quit. Quit buying anything (ANY THING) from the big, bad corporate folks. No new cars, clothes, toys. Have fun in cheap ways, play euchre with your friends. Drink local beer or the cheapest\t shit you can stomach. Cancel your smartphone, get a cheap flipper. Drop cable. The sooner it falls apart, the better for everyone.
To be fair those books won’t sell themselves.
I like the optimism but you are probably wrong about elections because I think even you are still underestimating their evil. They control everything and they will use everything to destroy us. We should be looking at peaceful separation from these people. Do you want to live in their midst even if we were to defeat them with an election? I do not. The goal of our resistance should be to gain enough momentum and economic power to form new, sustainable nations. We need many Switzerlands. The US is toast. The nations should be formed on the basis of normalcy like we have done here with our new professional association: http://www.nationalpsychotherapyassociation.org and our church community: http://www.livingagoodlifechurch.org.
I’ve been asking people if they feel Represented? Having people who live thousands of miles away in big cities trying to force myself and others to live in a manner they approve of isn’t working out too well. I think people are already separating themselves in a way.
