TACTICS AGAINST TYRANTS

by Ray Jason

As many of my readers know, I have lived a very contrary to ordinary life. During one of my more exotic chapters, I spent decades as a San Francisco street juggler. It was rewarding … in so many ways.

Often, I was asked to perform at benefits. Usually, I gladly did so. One of those events is firmly etched into my memory. It was an anniversary for the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center.

Just as I was about to go onstage in front of hundreds of children and their parents, I heard an unusual loud thumping sound. As I searched for the location of the noise, I witnessed an astonishing spectacle. Before me, I beheld a tightly-packed battalion of black-robed Grim Reapers. They marched silently and slowly to the solemn throbbing of a solitary drummer boy.

They were protesting the animal testing program at the medical center. Some of them held poles aloft with stuffed kittens and puppies swinging from nooses. It was grim and disturbing. But there was no denying that it was powerful messaging.

This long-ago memory got me thinking about tactics that we could use against the tyrants who are trying to destroy our freedom and enslave us. My hope had been that before our Malignant Overlords could completely ensnare us in their pseudo-medical pandemic net, enough Normies would snap out of their trances and help us defeat this New Normal. But, with all of the recent revelations and goal-post moving, if they still can’t see through the scam, then they will never awaken.

So the task is strictly in the hands of those of us with the vision and courage to resist. But we need a strategy sophisticated enough that it does not backfire on us. How can we achieve our goals without guns. Hmm, that rolls off the tongue with slogan-like smoothness – GOALS WITHOUT GUNS.

Here is our situation IMHO. Obviously, standard approaches will not work. We can’t petition or telephone or vote our way back to Freedom. We need to use the same big club that they use on us – FEAR.

Armed insurrection would surely frighten them, but it also allows them the to swiftly impose Martial Law. Many fighters among us would not flinch from that. After all, the USA has certainly proven its inability to defeat any group that is skilled in asymmetrical battle tactics.

And there are millions of recent veterans, who have precisely those skills, that they could deploy against a true enemy. I know who I would take my chances on in a battle between our new Woke Rainbow Warriors and the tough-as-kevlar soldiers who did three hitches in The Sandbox.

However, the point of this essay is to suggest tactics that do not require violence, but that will still terrify those Malignant Overlords so remorselessly that they may just soil themselves. I will use Australia as an example.

That’s because their petty dictators have gone way past full retard. Our Down Under brothers and sisters have been led into the Dark Valley more than any country in the world. Hopeless as it might seem, I believe that there is a tunnel at the far end of that valley that will guide them – and perhaps ALL OF US – back out into The Light.

All of this leads me back to that strange but effective Twilight Zone-like protest from many years ago. The way I see it, the secret is to bring the fight to them. They don’t fear the mob in the streets. But they do fear it outside their homes.

Get hundreds of people to mass outside the houses of each of the Australian Premiers. Do it at night. Come masked up so that their cameras can’t recognize and prosecute you. For even more vivid effect wear V for Vendetta masks. Don’t scream and shout. Instead, have one drummer doing a muted monotonous beat. Just stare – like a restless volcano.

You are going for a totally visceral response, so use fire to your advantage. Once you arrive, everyone light candles. About 15 minutes later position about a dozen of your biggest, most dangerous looking men, on the edges of the crowd. In unison have them ignite red road flares and hold them over their heads. No cheering at this point. Just keep staring as the drum hammers away and the flares burn. Your unstated message is that there is a direct path from candle-light vigils to Molotov mash-ups. They WILL understand.

Because this is silent rebellion, signs will be vital. Make them legible and big enough to be read from inside the houses. Here are some suggestions, but your ideas will probably be better than mine.

We know where you are. And we will not forget.

The Road to Nuremburg Two begins in Sydney.

When the police realize how much we outnumber them, they will turn on you.

If you build the camps we will fill them with politicians.

It might also be effective to bring along some props to accentuate the seriousness of your anger. A few small scale lamp posts to sway overhead back and forth in time with the drum might provide some additional clarity. Decorate them as you see fit.

Finally, as you depart – and hold formation as you do so – litter the ground with small cards with this message on them:

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”

John F. Kennedy

Its not that hard GNL. Start at the election department, sometimes yes sometimes no. They are required to have an address on their filing paperwork. If that don’t work pay a few bucks to one of those services that help you find anyone. If that doesn’t work follow them home. not hard to do, sit outside after the meeting and wait for them to leave. If they slip you, you still have their license and what kind of car they drive.

Where there is a will theres a way. I found the bottom of the barrel school board and such the easiest. The further up the chain you go the harder it gets. Be creative and don’t give up. Nothing says stay in your lane like them seeing you drive down their street as they are out walking. If they recognize you from your scary behavior at the meeting, even better.

Remember they work for us and there is no law against driving wherever you want. You would be surprised how many don’t live in gated communities, even then most people just let you in if your sitting by the entrance and you smile and wave. Truly they need to know if they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear. That is the standard line they use on us when eliminating our privacy.

The major change will occur when a large number no longer recognizes the legitimacy of their governments; municipal, state, and federal.
And “large numbers” is not the astroturf BLM that has insufficient numbers and must be bused to protests.
This metamorphosis happens very rapidly.
It also cannot be turned back, and can be very violent.
Peaceful protest still assumes legitimacy of the government being protested.
Nobody ‘protests’ criminal cabals.

Nothing says stay in your lane like them seeing you drive down their street as they are out walking. If they recognize you from your scary behavior at the meeting, even better.

Stalking your local politicians and allowing them to recognize you is unwise; most areas have anti-stalking legislation.
And if they recognize you, they can have you arrested for stalking.
Especially if you’ve already exhibited ‘scary’ behavior.
The unmasked face that is presented in public should always be calm, cool, and unemotional.
This reduces being considered a known enemy of any given pol.
However, as common street crime increases, the ‘common street crime gone bad’ scenario (favored by the state ala Seth Rich) becomes ever more likely, even for random authorities.

You are correct Fuji. So far I have attended a couple local meetings and resisted the temptation to let my inner Norman go full 1488. I had my wife with me and she keeps me from doing stupid shit.

I don’t really think they can arrest you for stalking if you haven’t threatened them. If you have a reason for being in their neighborhood, which is beyond easy to find then they just look like the stupid little kid that cried wolf. But yes caution and thought are required here.

Many states do have stalking laws where you can be arrested for just that, and unless you are a private investigator or journalist, arrest can be based on repeated proximity to the plaintiff. Denying proximity may be difficult, as most people carry a cellphone, which creates a log of location all the times. Depending on where you live; some states even have online stalking statutes (for stalking someone online).
Threatening them moves the charges to menacing or similar charges (usually misdemeanor).
Threatening a federal employee is a felony.
USSC ruled that threats are not covered First Amendment speech.
Threats are best when veiled, as illustrated in this column.
No verbal threat is ever made, yet the vision would be concerning to anyone that spotted that crowd on their lawn with the drumbeat as the only sound.

I don’t think people will listen to the “crazy” genius with a real, tangible, and easy solution.

But who knows? Last year’s crazy is this year’s normal.

You don’t need tactics. You need logistics. But I’m ALWAYS wrong.

Good luck with whatever ineffective tactics you got. I remain unimpressed. All the luck in the world won’t save us.

You could start with a general anti-vax strike. But even that probably wouldnt work- too many are cowed, comfy, or asleep.

And im not just going to hand you my lifes work, either. It’s far too important to chance it. I expect us all to be gitmo’d.

I would broaden it out a bit. Maybe a Gestapo guy, a CHEKA or NKVD guy, a Chicom guy plus any readily identifiable police state figures. If you don’t do a full pantheon the press will decide you are a neo Nazi and spin it against you. If you could dress some guys up to really look like Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Biden that would be really good and get the point across.

That is a nice idea, but I doubt it will change anything.

The police have good pay and more importantly PENSIONS. That is a huge incentive to toe whatever line TPTB demand. They are specifically selected to be low or mid-wits, just smart enough to follow orders but too stupid to question their validity or figure out that they will be screwed over in the same way that TPTB do to used up soldiers. They will never change sides.

TPTB will sleep soundly until the police are neutralized. Until TPTB live in fear of the people and their Praetorian Guard is no longer there to protect them, they have zero incentive to stop their march toward totalitarianism.

Chant, march, yell, make pretty signs….. it will change nothing. TPTB will have the police imprison or kill to maintain power. Anyone who thinks they will give it up because of peaceful protest is delusional. These are psychopaths and sociopaths.

They. Will. Kill.

If the people are not willing to go to the same extreme, they have already lost the battle.

I wish it was not so.

Maneuver requires discipline and protesters have none. I was part of a group that protested every month. Same people, we had a website to coordinate, and had frequent afterparties. At best we could manage, “hey we’re going over here. You guys should go over there.”

A third would go here, a third would go there, and a third would stay put because they didn’t want to walk. Mind you it took us well over a year to get to this level of sophistication.

My thoughts would be to break the group up into a dozen or more groups and protest all around the city. the cops would also have to break into smaller groups and would not be nearly as confident when they had 12 on their side vs the 200 they had when everyone was gathered in one place.

Some may, but I don’t see most.

My neighbor is a Deputy Sheriff.

While discussing the riots of last year he stated that his first priority is to get home to his family at the end of the day.

Cops are just like any other “group” of people. They see safety in numbers.

Look at how the smaller gatherings of antifa ran away from the fight in Portland recently.

Badass when you’re with a large group but back down at the first sign of potentially overwhelming opposition.

If the cops are surrounded by hundreds, a few may lash out but, the majority will walk away.

This is exactly what happened in London not long ago when vastly outmanned police ran away from THOUSANDS of lockdown protestors.

Don’t tell me that, to a man, THAT is not in the back of their mind every time they suit up now.

Group psychology. Ever notice how much MORE aggressive cops are when back up arrives?

The point is they will be more hesitant to actively confront a larger group.

Are they not just people too? There are countless medical professionals, teachers, others, walking away from their jobs as we speak because they see what’s going on and refuse to participate.

No. Just as many as they need to in order to scare the rest back into line. Soft westerners are not Afghani freedom fighters.

My point is that the protesters keep letting the police go home to come back and do the same again next time. It is a losing strategy.

——–
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

TPTB Praetorian Guard play hardball while the protesters play wiffle ball.

How many Yellow Vests were blinded, maimed or killed? Lots.

Whoever says or has the most retarded signs will get the attention. There’s really no point without the media there, so you’re screwed either way.

Either go full silent with a small number of people who can be trusted to stick with the program, or you might as well just hold block parties or something. Maybe flares are all they can do there but since they can’t have armed protests, I don’t know if there is any point. Candles look like a vigil, what are they going to do, throw flowers on someone’s lawn?

Demonstrations are for when you’ve already won, or you’re basically out of options. At which point, why make threatening gestures?

I will ignore the Vaccine Passports that have been announced will be implemented next month.

I will be at the protest tomorrow. Though I don’t think it will make a difference, I still will try.

But I am with Anon. Too many like Ray get pissy when their ideas are not swallowed whole and without dissenting commentary. I agree with Ray and others on much, but apparently it is all or nothing with them. Just look at the responses to my comments here.

Hopium indeed.

Would anyone like to point out where ‘peaceful protest’ has made any difference to TPTB agenda in the last 40 years? I don’t recall any.

Peaceful protest brought down the wall? News to me. I think there may have been several other factors. I also think it served TPTB agenda. But let us say you are correct. Any others?

Read your posts. If you don’t see yourself as being indignant towards others who have differing opinions……

BTW, I don’t have a problem with your posting in general. Your ideas are fine, I just don’t think they ALL are realistic.

Though this”And remind us all of exactly what you have contributed besides bitterness.”….Kind of pissy. And arrogant.

Ray I hope you have more luck than I did 1 1/2 years ago. I kept saying we are nuts to let “Them” continue to use the grid to surround and trap us. I said we shoud be taking out hubs to disable them because at the time they needed the grid. The grid was their friend not ours.
Nothing but don’t talk like that.
Two years ago when I could still walk I kept saying what are we doing about this and farmer said quit doing that. You discourage people.
4 years ago Tim Xrugger posted a thread asking people what they would replace the government with if we revolted. Nothing except a few timid timmies saying quiet you’ll get the site shut down. Now they have everything in place to begin purging us and the best we could do now is die on our feet or cowering in our little hidey hole farmetts watching the neighbors get napalmed.

I suggested we need to resist smarter not harder and develop our own makeshift networks. Nothing. Meanwhile when I could still walk I was driving to town everyday and posting homemade flyers and trying to interest people in forming their own 3 man cells and showing how to make the booby traps that were used on us in nam. I even posted directions with pictures last week on how to make cheap toe poppers for injuring jackboots and zombies. Nothing. You would have thought I was giving out cases of Leprosy.
Maybe finally people are ready. Hope you succeed.

Years ago I saw a you tube representation of circles showing the 535 in congress vs the us population in circles. We could steamroll them based on numbers alone but we don’t, they lie to the constituents constantly and we do nothing to hold them accountable. Will Rogers pointed this out using humor in the early 20th century. Nothing will happen to change it unless we go swordfish on them. And that would only work if it were unorganized chaos. If that happened they would be whisked away to their Deep Underground Military Bases. They have been countering the bad times coming for decades.

There is a tactic more effective than fear because it does not drain away quickly like fear can/does.

The tactic that I have used repeatedly is: SHAME

As one example, I was calling Monsanto’s customer service line 8-10 years back and laying into people by explaining to them how shameful their behavior was. I know for sure that I made several quit and at least 2 cried on the phone once I told them what the world thought of them and why.

The left has been shaming the shit out of everyone that is not on their bandwagon of insanity for the last 5+ years.

Shame their employees. IT WORKS. EVERY TIME. And shame sticks until the shameful behavior is addressed, unlike fear (not that there is no place for pushing that button).

We’re in deep trouble here in Australia. The people are leaderless and confused, our media turn us against each other and ramp up fear and anger. Ads run on TV every night with celebrities and sports starts spruiking vaccination. Our army patrols the streets and state borders. Our so-called leaders lie about everything and ruthlessly pursue failed policies. Women are assaulted and arrested in the street by teams of militarised police. Working class people, already broke from extended lockdowns and closures are fined $5,000 for going shopping. Hundreds of fines are issued every day and the media calls the victims selfish and foolish. Interstate trade and travel is reduced to a trickle. Our police brutally attack innocent citizens and harass and intimidate anyone who attempts to speak out. AND OUR POLITICIANS ONLY PLAN IS TO MAKE THINGS WORSE.

I hear a lot of criticism from the US that we “gave up our guns”. Maybe we did. But what are you, the most heavily armed people on the planet doing about the collapse of your culture and economy? It could be about the guns but most likely it’s about the fact the citizens of this country do not have any “rights”. New laws which would have shamed the Nazis are rushed through parliaments every day and barely a single public figure questions what is going on.

Vaccination uptake is poor, despite their hourly claims of high demand and false claims. People might not be out on the streets yet but they will not take the vaccine and all our masters have is coercion. But their narrative is crumbling and even the blind are now starting to see clearly.

I’m writing this so our Brothers and Sisters in the USA will stand against the same insanity. They’re testing us to see what they can get away with and will come after you when the time comes. Stand strong. We’re going to win this but first there will be a battle.

Don’t care for the part about crowds. That is a recipe for failure and full glow nigger participation. The tactics need to be more subtle, more one on one. That way no chance for playing into the po-pos hands.

If 100 man in each state decided ENOUGH, and independently picked two of three of the worst offenders, learning everything they can about them and shared that info with a few of their drinking buddies the lower ranks would curb their enthusiasm lickity split.

I’m not talking congress or the president of news originations , or leaders of corporations wanting to needle rape everyone. Although if you are luckey enough to live among them, breathing the same rarified air then godspeed. I’m talking school board, town or city council, county commissioners, state reps or senators. In other words low hanging fruit. The rulers are powerless without the underlings to carry their water. With the smallest of effort we can make them hate the work they do. Many will quickly realize the cost is to high. As it should be. They work for us, not the rulers in the capitol city. Leave no stone unturned and these Neo marxist traitors will be forced to find honest employment.

I STRONGLY suggest people read this essay….

An exercpt:

Back to my story. The first real jolt indicating a serious problem with the plan came when television reporter Cathy Carlsen was killed in Norfolk, shot dead while covering the commissioning of the
Harvey Milk, the Navy’s newest destroyer. That she was killed was bad enough. That it happened on a “secure” naval base—a federal installation—made it much worse. Her blood splattered across the white uniforms of the gathered admirals made quite a picture.

We were two women born in the same year, with similar academic backgrounds. We had known each other for decades, and her untimely death hit me hard. Cathy Carlsen had been a reliable voice on the progressive side of a supposedly impartial television news network. That a respected member of the media would be assassinated was big surprise, at least to me. Up to that point, only a few federal officials and high-ranking agents had been targeted.

I think it’s a great idea.
Has the advantage of being almost organic- not having a leader and low organization. In fact beware or. If organizers.
Rural areas are a bit trickier.
However in Whitefish MT. Protestors told some school nazis they know where they live. Wish I could find the article.

They are already scared. This would totally freak them out. Who do you think most of these local bureaucrats are? That’s why they are nazi bureaucrats.

Haven’t heard about the Australian truckers but my husband and I were saying they probably got trucker lists and they got midnight calls as in, your son is at so and so school, right?
It works.

This is not a prelude to civil war, or WWIII, or revolution – this is what total collapse looks like. The drum has been banged about this for how long by how many credible voices? To think anyone will have more than a short duration of success or beyond the strictly local level is, IMO, short-sighted and shows a belief that somehow we are going to ‘turn things around’.
The bottom line is a very daunting one, and not to be entertained lightly.
This is a reality truism:
Don’t carry a gun unless you’re willing to pull it out of it’s holster.
Don’t pull a gun unless you’re willing to shoot.
Don’t shoot unless you are willing to kill.

Slightly paraphrased from the original but it clarifies the reasoning.

If you offer violence –even the appearance of such – you better be willing to back it up or It. Will. Get. You. Killed.

To think you are still going to be able to use their own tactics against them is approaching blind foolhardiness. I didn’t need the Finicum event, which I saw unfold right before my eyes, to learn that, but it certainly reinforced it. I told everyone concerned at the time that they needed to be really alert because someone was going to get killed.
About the time these tactics really started having any appreciable effect it would put a scare into them all right. Think about the rat backed into a corner. Only this is a really BIG fucking rat.
How long do you think it would be before the militarized goodies would come out and the media spin kicking into high rpm?
In another time and place I would be all for this, but it just doesn’t fit with what we’ve been seeing/hearing for the last several years. There’s too many examples to even list.
It’s a big fuckin’ club, remember? And it’s not just one you join.

Upvoted because the real truth of a TPTB engineered genocide is one that jugglers, mimes, and clowns aren’t going to understand. 100s of millions of innocents will be made destitute by currency debasement and starved. What few leaders organically established by good works, if any, will be murdered by the State apparatus with MSM justification. We may as well mourn our heroes now by letting them know they were appreciated.

Our Satanic ruling elite is betting on the impotence of non-violence and finds the chaos of human sacrifices a worthwhile objective… no matter how pouty and resistive the masses become. Evil is a cancer and our civilization is at stage 4.

Whenever I have to deal with any official I ask for a business card. If the official came to my house I tell them before they leave that when I’m in their area I will come by their house. The look I get is priceless.
I have told local cops that if they are decent in their dealing with locals I would back them up if I see they need it. I also point out the opposite. That everyone knows where they live and if they are a-holes they won’t have anyone’s support. I casually mention that it must be unnerving being alone and exposed to the public every day patrolling and getting calls to the middle of nowhere. I ask if they have ever been shot at. Fortunately for me, the local cops seem to already know this stuff. I’ve only said this stuff to one cop so far. Almost Everyone knows where the local officials and cops live. I did figure out that when the locals feel really uncomfortable with what they have to do they call up the feds.

Same here. Most of the local LEOs are on our side, by a sense of self-preservation if nothing else. But they are mostly from here and it IS a long frickin’ ways from anywhere else. Especially when their own folks would be the ones involved. They can’t shake off who and what they are and how they were raised.
